Hunter Biden Freaks Out Over Criticism of His Art

/0 Comments/in , /by

The son of President Biden has a message to those criticizing his artwork: “F— ’em.”

In an interview with the “Nota Bene” podcast published Thursday, Hunter Biden was asked how he would respond to those going after his art.

“What’s your response to the people who are, you know, coming after like the prices of the work or just, you know, the collectors, I mean, what’s been your response to that?” one of the podcast’s hosts asked him.

“Other than ‘f— ‘em?’ ” Biden jokingly asked. (Read more from “Hunter Biden Freaks Out Over Criticism of His Art” HERE)

DOJ Threatens to Sue to Lock in 2020 Election Chaos; AZ Auditors Complete Third Ballot Recount

/1 Comment/in , , /by

By The Federalist. Yesterday, the U.S. Department of Justice issued two “guidance documents” purportedly “to ensure states fully comply with federal laws regarding election.” Those documents, however, really represent the Biden administration’s latest attempt to squelch investigations into potential voting irregularities, silence critics of the 2020 election, and cement forever the free-for-all COVID voting “procedures” implemented last voting cycle.

Wednesday’s guidance came in the form of two documents entitled, respectively, ”Federal Law Constraints on Post-Election ‘Audits’” and “Guidance Concerning Federal Statutes Affecting Methods of Voting.” In the DOJ’s guidance on post-election audits, the Biden administration began with its familiar refrain that “the November 3rd election was the most secure in American history,” and that notwithstanding “automatic recounts or canvasses,” there was no evidence “of either wrongdoing or mistakes that casts any doubt on the outcome of the national election results.”

Yet, as the DOJ put it, there has since been an “unusual second round of examinations” by states looking at “certain ballots, election records, and election systems used to conduct elections in 2020.” Then, with a not-so-veiled threat, the Biden administration rattled off the “federal constraints, which are enforced by the Department of Justice,” on these audits. . .

Among other laws, the federal guidance on post-election audits highlighted Section 301 of the Civil Rights Act of 1960 that “requires state and local election officials to ‘retain and preserve’ all records relating to any ‘act requisite to voting’ for twenty-two months” after the covered election. This mandate, the DOJ explained, means that election records must “be retained either physically by election officials themselves, or under their direct administrative supervision,” the latter of which requires election officials to have physical access to the records, according to the DOJ.

While not singled out by name, the detail contained in its guidance statements suggest the DOJ has in its sights the Arizona Republicans leading the probe into Maricopa County voting. Just Monday, the Republican-led Arizona Senate served another subpoena on officials in Maricopa County, seeking its routers and other information necessary for the legislature to complete its audit.

AZ Auditors Complete Third Ballot Recount, Ship Materials Back to Maricopa County

By Washington Examiner. Auditors working on the Arizona Senate-led Maricopa County 2020 general election review completed a third and final ballot recount late on Wednesday and prepared materials to return to county custody on Thursday.

The monthslong audit conducted at the Phoenix state fairgrounds since late April will now shift its focus to drafting a comprehensive report based on the results of the election machines and other voting material analyzed during the review. The Maricopa County Elections Department arrived with trucks at the audit site Thursday morning to retrieve the materials. . .

Arizona Senate President Karen Fann, who hired the Florida-based firm Cyber Ninjas to lead the audit, said on July 13 the third recount was necessary because initial audit counts and the number certified by Maricopa County officials did not match.

Banks: This is What Pelosi Doesn’t Want America to Know About Security Breakdown on January 6

/1 Comment/in , , /by

. . .Republican Study Committee Chairman Jim Banks, who was kicked off of the January 6th commission by Pelosi last week, is giving voice to Capitol Police Officers who want to adequately protect members of Congress in the future by thoroughly investigating past failures.

“The police response to January 6th represents a disastrous collapse of leadership that was not simply an aberration confirmed to one day. It was months and years in the making. To fully understand why our officers felt so abandoned, requires an understanding of how they came to be left uninformed and lacking in defenses when it mattered most – when an attack on the U.S. Capitol was fully realized,” United States Capitol Police Labor Committee Chairman Gus Papathanasiou released in a statement and highlighted by Banks. “Most importantly, we arrived at that position of vulnerability because the voices of the rank-and-file-officers had been ignored for years. There was no collaboration from Capitol Police leaders with the frontline officer, instead it was a top-down approach that left a void of information and planning. As an officer working that day, I can attest, there was NO plan, and certainly no contingency plans by the Chiefs. That lack of leadership had traffic consequences.”

The Case of Fauci: Why Bureaucrats Need Term Limits More Urgently Than Politicians

/0 Comments/in , /by

Term limits for politicians has been a popular idea with conservatives, libertarians, and even some liberals and progressives (though fewer these days) for some time.

But more important, I would argue, are term limits for the government bureaucracy. . .

All the while, the bureaucracy, aka the deep state, has been reaching new heights (or lows), in essence taking over the country. As, for example, with Dr. Anthony Fauci.

Excessive? Well, who has more power? President Biden? Someone behind Biden whispering in his ear?

Possibly. But whoever it is or they are, they all bow their heads during this endless pandemic to the director of the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID). Otherwise, they risk the withering contempt of “he who represents science” with attendant career-ending consequences.

Study: COVID Cases Are Increasing in Counties With Higher Vaccination Rates, Declining in Counties With Lower Vaccination Rates

/0 Comments/in , , /by

An analysis in California has shown that counties with above-average vaccination rates have higher COVID-19 case totals, which drives a stake through the heart of the propaganda line that the unvaccinated are causing a new wave of cases.

The Bay Area News Group discovered that he counties of Los Angeles, San Diego, Alameda, Contra Costa, and San Francisco have a higher percentage of people who are fully vaccinated than the state average as well as a higher average daily case rate.

Meanwhile, the counties of Modoc, Glenn, Lassen, Del Norte, and San Benito have below average vaccination rates and are seeing a decline in cases. The so-called experts are attempting to make excuses for these findings in order to coerce support for the vaccine regime.

Postal Workers Union Fires Back at Biden Over COVID-19 Vaccine Mandate

/1 Comment/in , /by

Unions are once again beefing with the man whom they’d falsely thought would be their savior, Democrat President Joe Biden.

This time they’re upset over reports that the president plans to mandate vaccines for all federal employees.

One union, the American Postal Workers Union that represents over 200,000 U.S. Postal Service employees, released a statement Wednesday bluntly stating that it’s not the federal government’s job to force vaccine diktats on people.

“Maintaining the health and safety of our members is of paramount importance. While the APWU leadership continues to encourage postal workers to voluntarily get vaccinated, it is not the role of the federal government to mandate vaccinations for the employees we represent,” the union said.

“Issues related to vaccinations and testing for COVID-19 in the workplace must be negotiated with the APWU. At this time the APWU opposes the mandating of COVID-19 vaccinations in relation to U.S. postal workers,” the union added.

Facebook, Google Mandates Vaccines for Employees

/0 Comments/in , /by

Google and Facebook have both announced that all employees returning to company offices must be vaccinated against the coronavirus.

NBC News reports that Google and Facebook have both stated that all employees returning to company offices will need to be fully vaccinated as fears around a delta variant of the coronavirus continue to rise amongst the Silicon Valley elite.

Google CEO Sundar Pichai said in a memo to employees this week: “Anyone coming to work on our campuses will need to be vaccinated. We’re rolling this policy out in the U.S. in the coming weeks and will expand to other regions in the coming months. Getting vaccinated is one of the most important ways to keep ourselves and our communities healthy in the months ahead.”

Just a few short hours after Google’s announcement, Facebook enacted a similar policy. Lori Goler, Facebook’s vice president of people, told employees: “As our offices reopen, we will be requiring anyone coming to work at any of our US campuses to be vaccinated. How we implement this policy will depend on local conditions and regulations. We will have a process for those who cannot be vaccinated for medical or other reasons and will be evaluating our approach in other regions as the situation evolves. We continue to work with experts to ensure our return to office plans prioritize everyone’s health and safety.” (Read more from “Facebook, Google Mandates Vaccines for Employees” HERE)

Pelosi Orders Police to Arrest Mask Mandate Defiers

/0 Comments/in , /by

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) on Thursday gave her absolute, unconditional surrender to the Chinese coronavirus by forcing Congressional members and staff to wear special “well-fitted” super masks, before ordering the U.S. Capitol Police to arrest those who do not comply.

In a Capitol Police Bulletin she specified “all USCP personnel must wear a mask at all times when in interior spaces throughout the Capitol Grounds.” Additionally, she directed officers who work on the House side of the Capitol to “enforce” the policy on staff and visitors.

However, it noted that applies to members, any of the defiers should not be arrest but “reported to the House Sergeant at Arms’ office” to be dealt with. The order states visitors and staff who refuse to comply with her orders, after being warned once, and refuses “comply or leave the premises after being asked to do so would be subject to an arrest for Unlawful Entry.” . . .

“If staffers, who are accompanying a Member, refuses to wear a mask, that refusal should be noted and reported to a supervisor who will, in turn, refer the matter to the House Sergeant at Arms,” the noticed stated. (Read more from “Pelosi Orders Police to Arrest Mask Mandate Defiers” HERE)

Biden Snaps at Reporter Over Mask Flip-Flop Question

/1 Comment/in , /by

President Joe Biden snapped at a reporter who asked him about past assurances that those who have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19 no longer need to wear protective face masks.

“No, I didn’t say that,” Biden began, noting he was referring to people who were fully vaccinated outside of government-designated COVID-19 hot spots.

Biden was also pressed on his less equivocal comments about protective face coverings in May.

“That was true at the time … What happened was the new variant came along,” he replied. “They didn’t get vaccinated … More people were getting sick.” (Read more from “Biden Snaps at Reporter Over Mask Flip-Flop Question” HERE)

Biden Backs Adding Amnesty Into Democrats’ Budget Bill

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Biden threw his weight Thursday behind a push to add a major amnesty for illegal immigrants into Democrats’ budget proposal, delivering presidential heft to the effort.

“I think we should include in the reconciliation bill the immigration proposal,” the president told reporters after meeting with Senate Democrats on immigration.

Reconciliation is the process that allows budget-related programs to be passed without having to survive a filibuster. But there are also significant restrictions on what kinds of things can be done through reconciliation.

Mr. Biden didn’t say what that proposal was, though there are several options. (Read more from “Biden Backs Adding Amnesty Into Democrats’ Budget Bill” HERE)
