Biden’s ‘Let-Me-Give-You-The-Facts’ Tweet Gets Instant Fact-Check From Twitter

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Biden on Friday was fact-checked by Twitter for inflating the number of corporations that were making billions.

In a tweet, purporting to give his followers “the facts,” the president asserted that 55 corporations made $40 billion in 2020 and “paid zero in federal taxes.”

The tweet included context added by readers, noting that Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act imposed a minimum tax on corporations with average pre-tax earnings greater than $1 billion.

It noted that of the 55 corporations mentioned by President Biden, only 14 had earnings greater than $1 billion and would be eligible under Biden’s tax law. (Read more from “Biden’s ‘Let-Me-Give-You-The-Facts’ Tweet Gets Instant Fact-Check From Twitter” HERE)

Biden: We Must Stop Republican ‘Malarkey’ That Is Inciting Violence (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden on Saturday again tried to blame Republicans for the attack on Paul Pelosi on Friday.

“You can’t condemn the violence unless you condemn those people who continue to argue the election was not real, that it’s being stolen, that all the malarkey that’s being put out there to undermine democracy,” he said.

The president spoke to reporters about the attack at a polling center in Delaware, where he voted early with his granddaughter Natalie Biden.

“The talk has to stop. That’s the problem,” he said. “That’s the problem.”

Biden appeared annoyed the Republicans were condemning political violence without condemning some of the rhetoric coming from their colleagues. (Read more from “Biden: We Must Stop Republican ‘Malarkey’ That Is Inciting Violence (VIDEO)” HERE)

Crowded Coop: Musk Drops Big Hint About Staffing Changes After Twitter Takeover

/0 Comments/in , /by

Elon Musk, who declared himself “Chief Twit” after closing his $44 billion takeover of Twitter this week, hinted at more staffing shakeups for the platform on Sunday morning.

A Twitter user asked Musk what the “most messed up” thing at Twitter right now is.

“There seem to be 10 people ‘managing’ for every one person coding,” Musk replied.

The Tesla CEO said in May, just weeks after first making the offer, that the “company will be super focused on hardcore software engineering, design, infosec & server hardware” once the takeover is complete.

“I strongly believe that all managers in a technical area must be technically excellent,” Musk tweeted on May 6. “Managers in software must write great software or it’s like being a cavalry captain who can’t ride a horse!” (Read more from “Crowded Coop: Musk Drops Big Hint About Staffing Changes After Twitter Takeover” HERE)

Biden Admin Sued Over Withholding Baby Formula Shortage Information

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Biden Administration’s Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is being sued by an ethics watchdog for reportedly withholding key information on the baby formula shortage.

According to a complaint, the FTC ignored an August FOIA request from The Functional Government Initiative for records on its investigation into the shortage that affected families all over the country.

“FGI anticipates that officials and staff at FTC discussed and participated in making and implementing decisions about the investigation into the infant formula crisis… the public does not have an ability to easily evaluate the decision-making surrounding FTC’s investigation,” according to the lawsuit.

In May, the director of the National Economic Council Brian Deese admitted that the Biden Administration knew about a possible baby formula shortage months before in happened.

However, in a September report, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) blamed the shortage on a manufacturing problem at the Abbott Nutrition plant in Michigan. (Read more from “Biden Admin Sued Over Withholding Baby Formula Shortage Information” HERE)

Russia Is Right: The West Lied About Ukraine

/0 Comments/in , , /by

This is from the memoir of current head of CIA William Burns. In 1989 he served under Secretary of State James Baker in a strategic planning role as communism fell. Here he outlines negotiations re German reunification – take note of highlighted part in context of Ukraine now.

More on the negotiations – the Russians aren’t lying about NATO:

More from Burns. Here he is discussing how the Russian foreign policy establishment felt about NATO expansion in 1995 under Yeltsin, long before Putin was on the scene. No one listened then either:

Clinton went ahead with NATO expansion despite warnings from US embassy in Moscow that it was a bad idea. Here is Burns noting that George Kennan, who developed original containment policy toward USSR, viewed it as huge error:

And here is Burns summing up his view of NATO expansion – keep in mind he published this in 2019, before this current war.

U.S. To Send Ukraine $275 Million in Military Hardware Amid New Doubts About Support

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The Department of Defense is again tapping into U.S. military stock to send Ukraine $275 million in weapons and ammunition, even as the Biden administration this week announced a plan to safeguard and account for munitions sent to help Kyiv in its fight against Russian invaders.

On Friday, the Pentagon announced the 24th drawdown of U.S. arms and equipment for Ukraine since the start of the Biden administration. The latest support package will bring the total U.S. military assistance for Ukraine to more than $18.5 billion, officials said.

“The capabilities we are delivering are carefully calibrated to make the most difference on the battlefield for Ukraine today,” Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Friday in a statement.

The new shipments were announced even as the administration was dealing with the first visible cracks in strong bipartisan support for Ukraine in the war. Progressive Democrats released — and then retracted — a letter earlier this week pressing the White House for direct talks with Moscow on a deal to end the war, just days after House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, a Republican, warned his party would not be signing a “blank check” to Mr. Biden for Ukraine aid in the future.

The latest drawdown includes more ammunition for the High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS) that have been a crucial factor in countering Russian troops on the battlefield. The package also includes 500 precision-guided 155 mm artillery rounds; 2,000 remote anti-armor mines; more than 1,300 anti-armor systems: 125 Humvees and more than 2.75 million rounds of small-arms ammunition, Pentagon officials said.

WATCH: Chuck Schumer Tells Biden State ‘Going Downhill’ for Democrats on Hot Mic

/0 Comments/in , /by

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) was caught Thursday on a hot mic telling President Joe Biden that Democrats are “going downhill” in Georgia and expressing disbelief that Republican Herschel Walker might win the Senate race.

“The state where we’re going downhill is Georgia,” he told Biden. “It’s hard to believe that they will go for Herschel Walker.”

More footage of the hot mic moment showed Schumer expressing concern over the Democrats’ chances. “We’re in danger in that seat,” Schumer told the president in Syracuse, New York. It’s unclear which seat he is referring to, however.

The majority leader additionally mentioned Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman’s highly scrutinized debate performance against Dr. Mehmet Oz on Tuesday evening.

He told Biden that “the debate didn’t hurt us too much in Pennsylvania. So that’s good.” (Read more from “WATCH: Chuck Schumer Tells Biden State ‘Going Downhill’ for Democrats on Hot Mic” HERE)

Ilhan Omar: Trump, Republicans Mentioning My Name Causes Uptick of Death Threats – ‘They Have to Be Held Accountable’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Representative Ilhan Omar (D-MN) said Friday on MSNBC’s “Alex Wagner Tonight” that when former President Donald Trump or other Republicans mention her name, she receives a direct uptick in death threats.

During a discussion on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) husband, Paul Pelosi, being attacked in his San Francisco Home early Friday morning, Wagner said, “Marjorie Taylor Greene, she has previously said that speaker Pelosi is a traitor to our country. She is guilty of treason. She gives aid and comfort to our enemies.”

Omar said, “We should not live in fear just because we have decided to serve our country, our constituents, and want the ability to shape the way in which our country is governed. What the Republicans have put out in those statements that you read to me – I just want the audience to realize that it is dangerous. It is delusional, and it is disturbing. This level of deflection that the Republicans are doing really moves us away from actual, honest accountability in this conversation.” (Read more from “Ilhan Omar: Trump, Republicans Mentioning My Name Causes Uptick of Death Threats – ‘They Have to Be Held Accountable’” HERE)

Good Riddance: Hollywood Elites Panic, Vow to Quit Twitter Over Elon Musk Takeover

/0 Comments/in , /by

Left-wing Hollywood elites are vowing to quit Twitter after Elon Musk completed his $44 billion takeover of the social media giant this week. But their righteous fury is already being called phony by those who believe, as one put it, that quitting Twitter will become the new “I’m moving to Canada.”

NBC’s This Is Us producer Ken Olin was among the first to declare his Twitter exodus. “I’m out of here,” he tweeted Friday.

“No judgement. Let’s keep the faith. Let’s protect our democracy. Let’s try to be kinder. Let’s try to save the planet. Let’s try to be more generous. Let’s look to find peace in the world.” . . .

Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure star Alex Winter also declared his departure from Twitter. “In retrospect it was inevitable,” he posted before providing a link to his other social media accounts, including Facebook and Instagram.

Showtime’s Billions producer Brian Koppelman declared he will try to take a “breather” from Twitter. (Read more from “Good Riddance: Hollywood Elites Panic, Vow to Quit Twitter Over Elon Musk Takeover” HERE)

Economic Downturn in Tech Industry Could Affect Americans in Worst Way

/0 Comments/in , /by

Americans could suffer from Big Tech firms laying off workers and freezing hiring as the economy remains volatile, the founder of a Bay Area job search community told Fox News.

“The average American will probably be impacted, at least in some form, by what may happen in this next economic downturn in the tech industry,” Albert’s List founder Albert Qian said. “We touch these things every single day, whether it’s Google Search, a store on Amazon, an Apple device.”

“When the Microsofts, the Googles, the Amazons, the Twitters, when those companies start laying off people, that’s when we need to start paying attention,” he continued.

Major tech companies have taken steps to cut their workforce in anticipation of an economic downturn in the coming months. Microsoft, for example, recently announced layoffs across multiple divisions, and Meta implemented a hiring freeze.
