Biden Faces Brutal Backlash for ‘Poor Taste’ Jokes While Visiting Maui Wildfires Site: ‘Comic Relief Tour’

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Biden is facing brutal backlash for a quip about a Maui cadaver dog that went viral just hours into his disastrous visit to the site of the deadly wildfires — with critics blasting his ill-timed attempts at comic relief as “poor taste.”

“You guys catch the boots out here? That’s a hot ground, man,” Biden, 80, joked while petting a cadaver dog, Dexter, and chatting with first responders in Lahaina in a video shared by self-proclaimed “news breaker” Greg Price on Monday evening.

The president, who owns two German shepherds, turned to the media and gestured at the small boots covering Dexter’s paws.

Last week, Hawaii Gov. Josh Green noted that recovery efforts in the worst-hit areas took time in part because the search dogs could only work for about 15 minutes at a time before their paws overheated.

Biden’s comment elicited smiles and laughs from the crowd, but quickly drew ire on social media, where the president is already catching heat for apparently making light of the devastating blazes after initially refusing to comment on the disaster for several days.

Biden, Speaking to Maui Fire Victims, Compares Deadly Wildfires to His Small Kitchen Fire

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden, speaking this week to victims of the tragic Lahaina fires in Maui, compared the situation to a small fire in his home nearly two decades ago that was contained to his kitchen. . .

Biden, who faced intense criticism early on for vacationing and seemingly not taking a personal interest in the tragedy, visited this island on Monday and generated more controversy with his remarks.

“I don’t want to compare difficulties, but we have a little sense, Jill and I, what it’s like to lose a home,” Biden said. “Years ago — now 15 years ago — I was in Washington doing ‘Meet the Press.’ It was a sunny Sunday, and lightning struck at home on a little lake that’s outside of our home — not a lake, a big pond — and hit a wire and came up underneath our home into the heating ducts — the air conditioning ducts.”

“To make a long story short, I almost lost my wife, my ‘67 Corvette, and my cat,” he continued. “But all kidding aside, I watched the firefighters, the way they responded.” . . .

“The smoke — and the firefighters here can tell you — sometimes smoke is so thick. From the windows out, it was that thick inside the home. And we were — we were insured. We did not have any problem, but being out of our home for a better part of a year was difficult,” Biden added. “I can only imagine what it’s like to lose your home completely burned to the ground.”

Trump Plans to Turn Himself in After $200K Bond Granted in Georgia Election Case

/8 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump plans to turn himself in Thursday to the Fulton County jail where he has agreed to post a $200,000 bond in the case charging him with illegally trying to overturn Georgia’s 2020 election result.

Trump agreed to the surrender during negotiations with Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ office on Monday, the ex-president confirmed on Truth Social.

“Can you believe it?” he posted on his social media platform. “I’ll be going to Atlanta, Georgia, on Thursday to be ARRESTED by a Radical Left District Attorney, Fani Willis…”

Trump claimed that Willis was coordinating with “Crooked Joe Biden’s DOJ” in what he described as a witch hunt.

The 77-year-old’s surrender was first reported by CNN. (Read more from “Trump Plans to Turn Himself in After $200K Bond Granted in Georgia Election Case” HERE)

‘Dystopian’: Some US Cities Consider Zero Beef, Zero Dairy, Zero Cars!

/0 Comments/in , /by

The leftists at the World Economic Forum arrogantly stated in a 2016 video that by 2030, “You’ll own nothing, and you’ll be happy.”

Now it seems that a list of American cities is actively pursuing that ideology, with their memberships in the C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group, which is calling for vast new restrictions on residents, including consumption of zero beef, zero dairy, zero private vehicles, and only three new clothing items per person per year.

“All of these policy proposals appear even more unreasonable and illogical when we actually evaluate the data. According to the International Disaster Database, deaths related to extreme heat, floods, storms, and droughts have plummeted as C02 emissions have risen. The fossil fuel economy has provided billions of people with heating, air conditioning, weather warning systems, mass irrigation, and durable buildings.

“Ultimately, the climate coalition’s goals are inherently anti-human. People generally need meat and the protein it provides to flourish. Banning meat and dairy, restricting calories, genetically altering the human body, and impoverishing the masses will hurt the planet and people. More likely than not, it will do more than hurt people — it will kill many of them.” (Read more from “‘Dystopian’: Some US Cities Consider Zero Beef, Zero Dairy, Zero Cars!” HERE)

House Conservative Leader Vows ‘Not Another Dollar’ to Ukraine Until America’s Southern Border Secure

/0 Comments/in , /by

A prominent House conservative is calling for a major shift in foreign policy that would end U.S. aid to Ukraine until America’s southern border is secure.

“No more money to secure Ukraine’s border until we secure our own,” Rep. Jim Banks, R-Indiana, said in a keynote speech at the Indiana Republican Party’s recent 2023 State Dinner, prompting a standing ovation.

In an apparently unprecedented move, Indiana GOP Chairman Kyle Hupfer announced at the party’s Aug. 10 dinner that Banks is the presumptive nominee for U.S. Senate.

In an exclusive interview with The Daily Signal, Banks elaborated on why he framed border security as more important to address than additional support toward arming Ukraine in its war with Russia.

“The crisis at the border is the number one issue that every group of Republicans who I speak to across the state of Indiana asks about,” Banks said. “Hoosier voters want to know that they’re electing leaders to Congress who are more focused on solving our problems.” (Read more from “House Conservative Leader Vows ‘Not Another Dollar’ to Ukraine Until America’s Southern Border Secure” HERE)

Cardinal ‘Disappointed’ After Priests and Staff Log ‘1,000 Access Attempts’ to Porn Sites on Archdiocese Computers

/0 Comments/in , /by

Clergy and other staff with the Archdiocese of Cologne attempted to access pornographic material using work computers. The revelation comes after a service provider discovered that there were “mass attempts to access porn websites” on archdiocesan devices.

America magazine reported that archdiocesan officials were informed in July 2022 about such activities carried out by 15 employees. Among those involved was one of the “highest-ranking clerics.”

Even though accessing pornographic material is not punishable by state or church law, it is still prohibited through a service agreement with the archdiocese. The catechism of the Catholic Church considers pornography to be a “grave offense,” which means it is an objective, moral offense.

The cybersecurity team for the archdiocese monitored online activity from the end of May 2022 to the end of June 2022.

The Straits Times noted there were around “1,000 access attempts” to pages that were primarily pornographic in nature. The cybersecurity system in place is meant to block undesirable content and potential threats. And the archdiocese was notified about these incidents in July 2022.

Democrats Aren’t Laughing About the Hunter Biden Debacle Anymore

/0 Comments/in , /by

“There is a time to laugh and a time not to laugh, and this is not one of them.”

Those words from Inspector Jacques Clouseau may have to be emblazoned across the hearing room of the House Oversight Committee. It was a month ago that House Democratic members mocked the testimony of two whistleblowers who testified about the rigged investigation to protect Hunter Biden, the son of President Biden.

Now it appears that the controversial “sweetheart deal” was not the first choice of US Attorney David Weiss. He actually was planning to let Hunter walk without even a misdemeanor charge despite massive unpaid taxes, gun violations, and work as an unregistered foreign agent, among other alleged crimes.

The reason for his change at Justice, according to the New York Times? Those pesky whistleblowers.

One of the most insulting moments for the respected IRS agents came from ranking member Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), who mocked the allegations as part of “this Inspector Clouseau-style quest for something that doesn’t exist [that] has turned our committee into a theater of the absurd, an exercise in futility and embarrassment.” (Read more from “Democrats Aren’t Laughing About the Hunter Biden Debacle Anymore” HERE)

Epstein Victim Claims Pal Was Forced Into Sex With Prince Andrew: ‘Traumatic’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Prince Andrew’s friendship with convicted financier and pedophile Jeffrey Epstein has always been the subject of intrigue and mystery.

A new A&E documentary titled “Secrets of Prince Andrew” has done a deep dive into their allyship, including allegations against the disgraced royal made by Epstein accusers, Lisa Phillips and Virginia Roberts Giuffre. . .

Phillips, 45, revealed she met Epstein and Andrew when she was on a modeling shoot in 2000 on an isle in the West Indies not far from Epstein’s infamous private island, Little St. James. . .

Phillips’ friend, whose name has never been revealed, invited herself and other models to the residence. Phillips naively tagged along, not thinking that anything was out of the ordinary since she heard Epstein “does amazing things for models” and was reportedly “a really great guy.”

Phillips said she asked Epstein why he allegedly encouraged her unnamed friend to have sexual intercourse with Andrew, and she remembered Epstein saying, “It’s good to have things on people.” “He had a lot of secrets on high-powered men,” Phillips dished.

Biden Administration to Urge All Americans: Get a Coronavirus Booster Shot Now

/0 Comments/in , /by

All Americans will be urged by the Biden administration to get a coronavirus booster shot this autumn ahead of what it claims is a new wave of infections, a White House official said Sunday.

Reuters reports the official said while the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports an increase in infections and hospital admissions from the virus, overall levels remain low, however caution is urged.

Moderna and other coronavirus vaccine makers Novavax, Pfizer and German partner BioNTech SE have all reportedly created versions of their shots ready and aimed at the XBB.1.5 subvariant.

On Thursday, Moderna said initial data showed its updated coronavirus vaccine is effective against the “Eris” and “Fornax” subvariants in humans.

Pending approval from health regulators in the United States and Europe, the Reuters reports details companies expect the updated shots to be available in the coming weeks for the autumn vaccination season.
