/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden’s Treasury Department announced it has created a new post to combat alleged racial inequality issues in banking and other financial services industries.

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said on Monday that Janis Bowdler, a former JPMorgan Chase executive is “part of a multi-pronged strategy by the Biden administration to deal with systemic racism found in many parts of the economy,” the Associated Press (AP) reported.

”Treasury must play a central role in ensuring that as our economy recovers from the pandemic, it recovers in a way that addresses the inequalities that existed long before anyone was infected with COVID-19,” Yellen said in a statement.

Judge: Men Shot by Kyle Rittenhouse Not Victims

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Wisconsin judge ruled on Monday that Kyle Rittenhouse’s defense team can refer to the men he shot as “rioters” and “looters,” but prosecutors may not call them “victims” at any point during Rittenhouse’s upcoming murder trial.

Kenosha County Circuit Judge Bruce Schroeder’s decision came at a hearing where he laid out the ground rules for Rittenhouse’s November 1 trial.

Schroeder warned Rittenhouse’s attorneys against using the terms “rioters” and “looters” during opening statements but said they could be used in closing arguments if evidence suggested the men engaged in criminal activity.

According to The Chicago Tribune, “Schroeder indicated he would allow evidence of bad behavior that night by the men Rittenhouse shot because it could speak to how dangerous they would have seemed to the teen.”

The prosecutors were frustrated with the judge’s decision, arguing it is unfair for Rittenhouse’s team to be able to use those terms while they could not use the word “victim.” (Read more from “Judge: Men Shot by Kyle Rittenhouse Not Victims” HERE)

Insulting and Absurd: Woke Claim That ‘Rational Thinking’ Is a White Male Thing Is Ridiculous

/0 Comments/in , /by

George Orwell famously said that “there are some ideas so absurd that only an intellectual could believe them.”

His adage now applies to anyone associated with academia in any capacity.

The New York Times ran a report the other day on the canceling of University of Chicago geophysicist Dorian Abbot for his dissenting views on affirmative action. The paper quoted a Williams College geosciences professor, Phoebe A. Cohen, who supports Abbot’s shunning. She explained her dim view of academic freedom thusly: “This idea of intellectual debate and rigor as the pinnacle of intellectualism comes from a world in which white men dominated.”

Ah, yes, that poisoned fruit of the patriarchy — intellectual debate and rigor.

This idea isn’t new, even if Cohen expressed it in a memorably pithy and direct way. Of all the faddish notions blighting college campuses and the broader culture, it is among the most indefensible and self-destructive.

Disaster Presidency: Biden’s Approval Hits New Low

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden’s approval rating hit a new low of just over 43% in FiveThirtyEight’s polling tracker as he confronts multiple economic and legislative headwinds.

Biden’s approval stood at 43.5%, and has steadily declined since July. His disapproval stood at 50.6%, the highest of his presidency.

Biden’s slide has coincided with another spike in coronavirus cases, a messy Afghanistan withdrawal and economic challenges ranging from supply chain issues to inflation. He has also pinned much of his domestic agenda on the bipartisan infrastructure bill and his sweeping budget, but left-wing and moderate Democrats have yet to agree on a compromise that would give both the votes needed to pass the House, where they hold just a three-vote margin, and the 50-50 Senate.

Democrats Ready To Put a Wrap on Dragged-Out Spending Bill Talks

/0 Comments/in , /by

Democrats are eager to finish talks over President Biden’s sweeping spending bill, arguing the party is gaining little by dragging out negotiations.

The push to wrap things up quickly comes as months of haggling has led to pent-up frustrations that have dominated headlines and conversations around Capitol Hill. Democrats missed a self-imposed deadline of working out a framework by Friday, though talks continued into the weekend.

Even once Democrats lock in a framework, they’ll likely still have days of drafting and ironing out details. But after days of patience wearing increasingly thin, lawmakers are eager to take the first step and show that they and Biden can deliver on the massive spending package.

“It’s hurting Biden. It’s hurting the Democrats. It’s undermining the vision of all the accomplishments we will have as being highly significant. The frustration is people’s heads are blowing off. And they should be. It has to come to an end,” Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.) said during a recent interview with MSNBC.

Here’s What the WH Is Saying About the ‘F**K Joe Biden’ Chants

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The White House is claiming they are unfamiliar with anti-Joe Biden chants, such as the blunt and ever-popular “F*** Joe Biden” chant, and the more recent “Let’s Go Brandon” meme. The latter went viral following a recent NASCAR race, where an NBC reporter claimed fans were cheering on the race winner, Brandon Brown, when they were actually chanting “F*** Joe Biden.”

“Administration officials sought to downplay the phenomenon, and at least one claimed to be unfamiliar with the ‘Let’s go Brandon’ chant or its cruder cousin, though they are now chanted everywhere from football stadiums to concert arenas to local bars,” The Washington Post reported Saturday.

White House spokesman Andrew Bates claimed, “I had never heard of that chant until you explained it to me.”

Mocking the anti-Biden sentiment as fringe, Bates added, “I guess I’m not spending enough time on 8chan or whatever.”

Reacting to the White House denial, Donald Trump Jr. posted a screencap of the Post article and snarked via Instagram, “If they’re not familiar, let’s keep it going until they are.” (Read more from “Here’s What the WH Is Saying About the ‘F**K Joe Biden’ Chants” HERE)

CNN Falsely Claims Vaccinated People Are Less Likely To Die ‘From Any Cause’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Critics panned CNN after the network published a story last week appearing to claim that people vaccinated against COVID-19 are somehow superhumanly protected from deadly ailments of all kinds. . .

“People who got Covid-19 vaccines were not only less likely to die from the virus, but they were less likely to die from any cause over the following months, researchers have reported,” CNN tweeted on Friday.

In its article, the network shared conclusions reached by scientists that were documented in the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s weekly report. . .

Of course, correlation does not equal causation. Common sense dictates that the COVID-19 vaccines do not actually reduce people’s risks of death from other ailments. It should be noted that the data is only a few months old and could, in fact, change. . .

Critics on social media immediately took notice of the report and slammed CNN — known for its support of vaccine mandates — for insinuating that the vaccines provide extraordinary non-COVID-related health benefits.

Alec Baldwin Was Practicing Pointing Revolver at Camera During Fatal Prop Gun Mishap

/1 Comment/in , /by

Alec Baldwin was practicing a “cross draw” in a church pew that required pointing his weapon at the camera during the prop gun mishap that left cinematographer Halyna Hutchins dead, newly released documents reveal.

Two new witness accounts made public by the Sante Fe Sheriff’s Office on Sunday night describe the harrowing moment the 42-year-old director of photography was shot inside the church building on the New Mexico set of the film “Rust.”

Baldwin was rehearsing the gun retrieval method from a pew of the mock church at Bonanza Creek Ranch when he aimed at the camera, while both Hutchins and 48-year-old director Joel Souza stood behind it.

Souza then says he heard a “loud pop” and realized both he and Hutchins were bleeding, according to a police interview.

The director told investigators that he remembered hearing the phrase “cold gun” while preparing for the scene, indicating the firearm wasn’t loaded and was safe for use, but he couldn’t remember if the gun, described as a “revolver” in the records, had been checked after the crew returned from a lunch break before the incident happened.

Professor: Stating Biological Facts Will Get You ‘Hate Mail’

/1 Comment/in , /by

Stating a biological fact is certain to get the speaker “hate mail,” these days.

That’s according to a former vice chancellor of Sheffield Hallam University.

The comment comes from Lord Robert Winston, a Labour life peer, who also is Emeritus Professor of Fertility Studies in Imperial College London. . .

“I will say this categorically, that you cannot change your sex. Your sex actually is there in every single cell in the body,” he said. . .

He added, “Unfortunately you can’t say this publicly, this is one of the big problems. Even saying this on this program undoubtedly will result in my getting a huge amount of hate mail, it always does.” (Read more from “Professor: Stating Biological Facts Will Get You ‘Hate Mail’” HERE)
