Biden Signals He Will Sign TikTok ‘Ban’ if Congress Passes Legislation

President Joe Biden signaled on Friday he would sign off on new legislation in Congress that could potentially result in the ban of TikTok.

The House Energy and Commerce Committee voted unanimously on Thursday to advance a bipartisan bill that would force Bytedance, a Chinese-based company, to sell its subsidiary app TikTok or face removal from U.S. Biden told reporters on Friday that he would greenlight the legislation if Congress can pass the bill.

“If they pass it, I’ll sign it,” Biden said before boarding Air Force One en route to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Hundreds in Arizona Surrender to Christ at Franklin Graham’s Frontera Tour

In a profound spiritual gathering on Thursday night, the “God Loves You Frontera Tour” led by renowned evangelist Franklin Graham saw hundreds of Arizonans embrace faith, surrendering their lives to Christ. The tour, making its way across the southern United States border, reached a pivotal moment in Yuma, Arizona, where over 7,600 people converged at the Yuma County Fairgrounds for a night of spiritual awakening.

Evangelist Franklin Graham shared the joyous news, revealing that “hundreds came forward at God’s invitation to confess their sins, surrender their lives to Him, and believe on the name of His Son, Jesus Christ.” The event was not just a spiritual experience but also featured live music from Christian artists like Taya and Marcos Witt.

Photos shared by Graham, the son of the late televangelist Billy Graham, depicted families gathered in prayer, showcasing a powerful testament to the communal and familial aspect of the spiritual journey. The Yuma event marked the second to last stop of the “God Loves You Frontera Tour,” with the grand finale scheduled for Saturday in Chula Vista, California.

Prior stops on the tour included events in Tucson, Arizona, and the border town of Eagle Pass, Texas.

The Frontera Tour has been a beacon of hope and faith since its inception in 2017, with Graham conducting outreach tours in 77 cities across 28 states. The tour’s webpage proudly states that these events have reached over 570,000 people, with more than 34,000 individuals deciding to follow Jesus Christ.

Joe Biden Delivers Third and Possibly Final State of the Union Address; Botches Name of Migrant-Murdered ‘Lincoln’ Riley in Trump-Bashing Speech

By New York Post. President Biden stunned listeners Thursday as he veered from his highly partisan State of the Union address script to call out Georgia nursing student Laken Riley’s murder last month by an illegal immigrant — erring twice by calling her “Lincoln.”

Biden, 81, began his campaign-style speech by highlighting his best-polling positions — railing against former President Donald Trump on issues such as abortion, NATO and the Capitol riot — but was derailed by persistent Republican heckling, finally responding to their demands that he say Riley’s name hours after the House passed legislation in her honor to require migrants who commit certain crimes be sent to federal custody.

The president then held up a pin bearing Riley’s name, which Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) had handed him on his way into the chamber, with Biden telling the congresswoman, “I know how to say her name.”

“Lincoln — Lincoln Riley, an innocent young woman who was killed by an illegal,” Biden said, both botching her name and using a term considered politically incorrect by most Democratic officeholders.

“That’s right, but how many of the thousands of people being killed by illegals —” he began as Greene interrupted him with continued heckling over his border policies.

The president did not correct himself after botching Rliey’s name before adding: “To her parents, I say my heart goes out to you. Having lost children myself, I understand.” (Read more from “Biden Botches Name of Migrant-Murdered ‘Lincoln’ Riley in Trump-Bashing State of the Union Speech” HERE)

Joe Biden Delivers Third and Possibly Final State of the Union Address

By Breitbart. . .Biden has finally finished this travesty of a partisan hit job speech. Even Jake Tapper on CNN says he has “never heard” a State of the Union with so many partisan attacks on the president’s leading political opponent.

. . .Biden is leading the charge for gun control. More extreme partisanship from Biden. He’s also now attacking “my predecessor” again repeatedly. This is amazing to watch a president yell at his predecessor and general election opponent this year in an election year State of the Union address.

Biden then calls for an “assault weapons ban” and then lies by claiming “none of this violates the Second Amendment.” . . .

Now, Biden is lying claiming the Lankford immigration and foreign aid plan would have helped solve the border crisis. These lies draw a seriously harsh response from the Republicans in the chamber who boo him, derailing the president off his planned remarks.

Biden is straight up lying now about Republicans on Social Security, falsely claiming that the GOP wants to cut Social Security. Trump has made clear that he wants to protect Social Security. (Read more from “Joe Biden Delivers Third and Possibly Final State of the Union Address” HERE)

REVEALED: DOJ Freaked Out After Matt Gaetz Brought Up Hunter’s Laptop During Hearing

Employees at the Department of Justice (DOJ) sent an email in March 2022 regarding Florida Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz’s line of questioning to the assistant director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI’s) cyber division about Hunter Biden’s laptop, according to documents uploaded by the DOJ.

During the March 2022 hearing, Gaetz entered Hunter Biden’s laptop into the Congressional record and pressed the FBI on the location of Hunter Biden’s laptop, to which he did not get an answer. Gaetz also asked if the Biden family had been compromised and if anyone at the FBI knew where the laptop was located.

During Gaetz’s line of questioning, an employee at the DOJ sent an email that said: “Now Matt Gaetz asking Hunter Biden laptop questions. Wow.”

Democrat Claims Her Election Was Rigged

Katie Porter, a Democratic candidate who ran in California’s 2024 Senate race, claimed Wednesday on Twitter that the primary was rigged after placing 3rd.

“Thank you to everyone who supported our campaign and voted to shake up the status quo in Washington. Because of you, we had the establishment running scared — withstanding 3 to 1 in TV spending and an onslaught of billionaires spending millions to rig this election,” Porter wrote in part. . .

Porter’s comments were challenged by community notes arguing that rigging implied “illegal manipulation of electoral outcomes” and that simply being outspent did not fall under this category. (Read more from “Democrat Claims Her Election Was Rigged” HERE)

Mass Shooter Had ‘Significant’ Brain Damage ‘Likely’ Caused From Exposure to Over 10,000 Grenade Blasts: Reports

The man who killed 18 people in Maine late last year had significant brain damage that likely played a role in his shooting rampage, according to experts who have analyzed his brain post-mortem.

The man, who The Daily Wire is not naming due to company policy about not giving notoriety to mass killers, had brain damage that is consistent with what experts see in military veterans who have had prolonged exposure to explosive blasts.

The man was a U.S. Army reservist and a longtime instructor at an Army hand grenade training range where he was exposed to more than 10,000 grenade blasts, according to a report from The New York Times.

The Maine Chief Medical Examiner’s office requested the Boston University CTE Center conduct the post-mortem study of the man’s brain.

“[The man] had evidence of traumatic brain injury,” said Doctor Ann McKee. “In the white matter, the nerve fibers that allow for communication between different areas of the brain, there was significant degeneration, axonal and myelin loss, inflammation, and small blood vessel injury. There was no evidence of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE).” (Read more from “Mass Shooter Had ‘Significant’ Brain Damage ‘Likely’ Caused From Exposure to Over 10,000 Grenade Blasts: Reports” HERE)

Survey Reveals Majority Express Doubts About President Biden’s Mental Fitness

A recent Harvard-Harris survey has unveiled that a significant majority of Americans harbor doubts about President Joe Biden’s mental fitness, with 59 percent expressing concerns about his ability to serve in the highest office. The survey, conducted on February 21-22 among 2,022 registered voters, paints a concerning picture for the Biden administration.

Respondents were asked a straightforward question: “Is Joe Biden mentally fit to serve as President of the United States, or do you have doubts about his fitness for office?” The results revealed that 59 percent had reservations about President Biden’s mental fitness, while 41 percent did not share such concerns.

What’s noteworthy is the internal breakdown of these numbers. Surprisingly, nearly one-third of Democrats, constituting 32 percent, admitted to having doubts about Biden’s mental fitness. Independents were even more skeptical, with 66 percent expressing concerns. Among Republicans, the doubt percentage stood at 92 percent.

Additionally, 67 percent of respondents believed that President Biden is “showing he is too old” for the role. This sentiment was shared by 40 percent of Democrats, a staggering 92 percent of Republicans, and 68 percent of Independents.

The survey follows ongoing concerns regarding President Biden’s physical and mental fitness, particularly gaining attention after the release of Special Counsel Robert Hur’s report. Although Hur decided not to pursue prosecution over Biden’s handling of classified documents, the report included startling revelations about the deterioration of Biden’s mental state.

“We have also considered that, at trial, Mr. Biden would likely present himself to a jury, as he did during our interview of him, as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory,” the report states. It continues, “It would be difficult to convince a jury that they should convict him — by then a former president well into his eighties — of a serious felony that requires a mental state of willfulness.”

Notably, the report highlighted instances where Biden could not recall essential details, such as when he served as vice president or the date of his son Beau’s death, raising additional concerns about his cognitive abilities.

Smoking Gun: Biden DOJ Took Advice From Group Demonizing Concerned Parents, Docs Show

The Justice Department arm focused on prosecuting “hate crimes” welcomed input from a far-left organization known for demonizing conservatives and Christians right after that organization put parental rights groups, including Moms for Liberty, on a “hate map” alongside the Ku Klux Klan, documents obtained by The Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project reveal. (The Daily Signal is Heritage’s news and commentary outlet.)

The Southern Poverty Law Center, which notoriously brands mainstream conservative and Christian organizations as hateful by placing them on a “hate map” in what a former employee describes as a fundraising scheme, reached out to the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division on June 6, 2023—the day the SPLC released its annual “Year in Hate and Extremism” report and had added Moms for Liberty to the map.

The new documents, obtained by the Oversight Project via a Freedom of Information Act request, reveal yet more collaboration between the Biden administration and the far-left group.

The Justice Department confirmed to the Washington Examiner that the briefing did indeed take place, although the department did not specify when.

SPLC Outreach

Michael Lieberman, senior policy counsel for “hate & extremism” at the SPLC, reached out to Robert Moossy Jr., deputy assistant attorney general at the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division, and Sheila Foran, acting head of the Civil Rights Division’s Policy and Strategy Section, granting Moossy and Foran a “quick embargoed peek” ahead of the full report.

Good Riddance: Media’s Donald Trump Panic Pushes Liberals to Emigrate

A growing number of Americans are getting ready to emigrate as former President Donald Trump zig-zags back toward the White House, an American journalist who owns an apartment in central Italy said.

“If Trump is reelected, Americans are planning to flee in droves,” Business Insider author Paul Starobin said as he described the chatter on a Facebook group for U.S emigrants in Italy:

From a woman in Montana who was planning to move to Tuscany: “Yes, it’s true! I bought a hilltop village home … for a song compared to US prices. Don’t want to be in US anymore. It’s expensive and sick of all the political crap and shootings.”

From a woman in Texas: “An insurrection by a narcissist who couldn’t accept election loss combined with his gun and abortion policies made moving more of a necessity than just a dream.”

The author is a veteran journalist, so he is skeptical of his social peers’ doomsday talk:

Every four years, as Americans gird themselves to choose a president, there’s talk, mainly among Democrats, of leaving the country. I’m off for Canada if unacceptable candidate X wins! And every four years, the promised exodus fails to materialize. It’s mostly just therapeutic venting.

Report: Zelensky’s Wife Snubs Biden Invite to State of the Union

The Washington Post reported on Tuesday that Ukrainian first lady Olena Zelenska declined an invitation from the White House to attend President Joe Biden’s State of the Union (SOTU) address.

The alleged snub was somewhat unusual given the prestige of a choice SOTU seat and Ukraine’s fervent desire to remain in the good graces of the United States, the most pivotal supporter of Kyiv’s struggle against the Russian invasion. The White House reportedly offered to seat Zelenska next to U.S. first lady Jill Biden.

According to the Washington Post, Zelenska turned down the invitation because Yulia Navalnaya, widow of Russian dissident leader Alexei Navalny, was also invited to sit with Mrs. Biden during the speech.

The White House wanted the symbolism of Zelenska and Navalnaya sitting together while President Biden spoke, but the Ukrainian government was reportedly uncomfortable with the arrangement because Alexei Navalny was somewhat equivocal about Russia’s annexation of Crimea in 2014.

Navalny, who died at the age of 47 under suspicious circumstances in an Arctic penal colony in February, was an outspoken Russian nationalist early in his political career. He supported Russia’s 2018 invasion of Georgia, for example. (Read more from “Report: Zelensky’s Wife Snubs Biden Invite to State of the Union” HERE)
