White House Cuts Short Biden’s Trip Abroad Amid Debt Ceiling Talks

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden will convene with world leaders at the Group of Seven meeting in Japan, but the White House has canned his trip to Australia and Papua New Guinea amid a debt ceiling standoff.

“President Biden will return to the United States on Sunday, following the completion of the G-7 summit, in order to be back for meetings with congressional leaders to ensure that Congress takes action by the deadline to avert default,” press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre wrote in a statement Tuesday.

Instead, Biden invited Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese for a state visit at a mutually agreed upon time. The president will additionally meet with Albanese and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Quad members, on the sidelines of the G-7.

“What I can speak to is G-7 and going to Hiroshima,” National Security Council spokesman John Kirby told reporters earlier Tuesday. “We’re reevaluating the rest of the trip right now.” (Read more from “White House Cuts Short Biden’s Trip Abroad Amid Debt Ceiling Talks” HERE)

Marjorie Taylor Greene Moves to Impeach FBI Director Christopher Wray

/0 Comments/in , /by

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) introduced articles of impeachment against FBI Director Christopher Wray on Tuesday.

Greene’s move to impeach Wray comes in the wake of special counsel John Durham’s final report on his investigation into the FBI’s inquiry into the alleged ties between former President Donald Trump and Russia.

Greene claimed that the FBI has “intimidated, harassed, and entrapped” people under Wray’s watch and that he has turned the FBI into President Joe Biden and Attorney General Merrick Garland’s “personal police force,” according to a statement from Greene.

“Not only has Director Wray persecuted political opponents in an unprecedented and partisan way, but he has also overseen his agency take actions to shield and protect the current President and his family,” the statement read. “A senior FBI official left the agency under a cloud of accusations that he shielded a laptop belonging to the President’s son, Robert Hunter Biden, from a criminal probe.”

Elon Musk Rips Remote Work as ‘Bulls–t’ and ‘Morally Wrong’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Tesla CEO Elon Musk lambasted remote working as “bulls–t” and “morally wrong” in his latest round of criticism against the employment practice that defined the pandemic era.

Musk, one of the richest people in the world, referred to Silicon Valley’s tech workers as the “laptop classes living in la-la-land,” in an interview with CNBC’s David Faber on Tuesday.

He told Faber he believes working in the office boosts productivity — and that employees who refused to return to an in-person setting after COVID-19 restrictions ended need to “get off their moral high horse” and get back to work like everyone else.

“The whole work-from-home thing, it’s sort of like, I think it’s, like, there are some exceptions, but I kind of think that the whole notion of work-from-home is a bit like, you know, the fake Marie Antoinette quote, ‘Let them eat cake,’” Musk said in the wide-ranging interview.

“It’s like, it’s like really? You’re gonna work from home and you’re gonna make everyone else who made your car come work in the factory? You’re gonna make people who make your food that gets delivered – they can’t work from home? The people that come fix your house? They can’t work from home, but you can? Does that seem morally right? That’s messed up.” (Read more from “Elon Musk Rips Remote Work as ‘Bulls–t’ and ‘Morally Wrong’” HERE)

Confused Feinstein Says ‘I Haven’t Been Gone. I’ve Been Working’ Despite Three-Month Absence

/0 Comments/in , /by

Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) on Tuesday told reporters that she’s been at the Capitol working and voting, apparently unaware that she’s spent months away this year due to health problems.

Feinstein, 89, returned to the Senate just last week after spending nearly three months away from Washington, DC, recovering from a bout of shingles.

When asked by a reporter Tuesday about the reception she’s received from colleagues upon her return, Feinstein lashed out at the journalist and provided answers indicating that she was seemingly unaware that she had been out.

“No, I haven’t been gone,” Feinstein said. “You should follow the — I haven’t been gone. I’ve been working.”

When asked if she meant that she’d been working from home, the senior senator from California responded, “No, I’ve been here. I’ve been voting. Please. You either know or don’t know.” (Read more from “Confused Feinstein Says ‘I Haven’t Been Gone. I’ve Been Working’ Despite Three-Month Absence” HERE)

Peter Strzok Isn’t Taking the Durham Report Findings Very Well

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Disgraced FBI Agent Peter Strzok isn’t taking the latest Russian collusion update well. Maybe that’s because the report submitted by Special Counsel John Durham, which totaled over 300 pages, eviscerated the FBI and finally concluded that the whole investigation was a hoax. Not a shred of tangible evidence could suggest that Donald Trump was colluding with Moscow, and there was certainly not enough to greenlight a full-blown counterintelligence probe into the matter. The report confirmed what we already knew but took a katana to the credibility and professionalism the bureau prided itself on for decades. The FBI is the Democratic Party’s errand boy, and the report, like other IG reports on the Department of Justice, points to political bias as the primary motivator with all these witch-hunt inquiries into the former president.

Strzok responded to the Durham findings predictably:

. . .Strzok was a top counterintelligence agent whose extramarital tryst with FBI lawyer Lisa Page highlighted how standards had fallen. Not over their dalliance but the tens of thousands of anti-Trump text messages, including one that had Strzok assuring Page that they would stop Trump.

‘Treason’: Trump Sounds off After Durham Report Reveals FBI Malfeasance

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Breitbart. Former President Donald Trump sounded off on Monday in response to the long-awaited report from Special Counsel John Durham showing that the FBI should have never launched its investigation into the 2016 Trump presidential campaign.

In a series of posts on the former president’s Truth Social account Monday, Trump called the actions of certain FBI agents as being tantamount to “treason” and how a “great fraud” had been pushed on the American people.

“After extensive research, Special Counsel John Durham concludes the FBI never should have launched the Trump-Russia Probe! In other words, the American Public was scammed, just as it is being scammed right now by those who don’t want to see GREATNESS for AMERICA!” he wrote.

“The Durham Report spells out in great detail the Democrat Hoax that was perpetrated upon me and the American people. This is 2020 Presidential Election Fraud, just like ‘stuffing’ the ballot boxes, only more so. This totally illegal act had a huge impact on the Election. With an honest Media, we are looking at the Crime of the Century!” he later added.

In subsequent posts, the former president expressed gratitude for firing former FBI Director James Comey and called upon Congress to enact measures to ensure it never happens again.

Trump Says There ‘Must Be a Heavy Price to Pay’ for Comey, Democrats After Release of Durham Report

By Fox News. Former President Trump said Monday that former FBI Director James Comey and Democrats need to be held accountable for spending years investigating alleged collusion between Trump and Russia now that Special Counsel John Durham has released a report that says the Trump-Russia probe never should have been launched.

“I, and much more importantly, then American public have been victims of this long-running and treasonous charade started by the Democrats — started by Comey,” Trump told Fox News Digital. “There must be a heavy price to pay for putting our country through this.”

Durham’s report found that the Department of Justice and FBI “failed to uphold their mission of strict fidelity to the law” when it launched the Trump-Russia investigation.

In an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital, Trump said the activities surrounding the FBI’s original Trump-Russia investigation were “a total disgrace,” and said “public anger over this report is at a level that I have not seen before.”

“This report took a long time because John Durham is a very thorough investigator,” Trump said. “But the result is unequivocal and an absolute disaster in terms of justice.” (Read more from “Trump Says There ‘Must Be a Heavy Price to Pay’ for Comey, Democrats After Release of Durham Report” HERE)

This Is the Latest Development in the Biden Family Corruption Investigation

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Townhall. . .Rep. James Comer (R-KY), chair of the House Oversight Committee, revealed that a top witness in his investigation has gone missing. No, I’m not joking; this person is lost (via Newsweek):

Representative James Comer, a Kentucky Republican, admitted on Sunday that his fellow Republicans lost track of a key witness in an investigation about the Biden family being involved in an alleged bribery scheme.

[…]

The Kentucky Republican and Senator Chuck Grassley, an Iowa Republican, wrote in a letter sent to Attorney General Merrick Garland earlier this month that they received “legally protected and highly credible unclassified” information from the whistleblower. They also wrote that the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the FBI would have enough information to determine the accuracy and the credibility of the information in the document.

Meanwhile, Fox News host Maria Bartiromo asked Comer during an interview on Sunday Morning Futures about the current whereabouts of the informant.

“Well, unfortunately, we can’t track down the informant,” Comer responded on Sunday. “We’re hopeful that the informant is still there. The whistleblower knows the informant. The whistleblower is very credible.”

Republican Admits Key ‘Informant’ Against Joe Biden Now Missing

By Newsweek. Representative James Comer, a Kentucky Republican, admitted on Sunday that his fellow Republicans lost track of a key witness in an investigation about the Biden family being involved in an alleged bribery scheme.

On Wednesday, House Oversight Committee Republicans released a 36-page memo accusing members of the Biden family of earning millions of dollars during Joe Biden’s term as vice president under former President Barack Obama from a number of Chinese and Romanian companies they claim posed “potential threats” to the United States.

The memo, a copy of which was obtained by Newsweek, includes redacted images of transactions involving a number of bank accounts purportedly belonging to members of the Biden family. It outlines a network of secretive bank accounts connected not only to Biden’s son, Hunter, but to a number of other family members, all of whom Comer, the committee’s chairman, accused of using Biden’s position to curry favor with foreign governments and peddle influence on U.S. foreign policy.

The documents released Wednesday provide no evidence that President Biden was ever directly involved in the alleged schemes—or even if the payments in question resulted in tangible impact on U.S. policy. (Read more from “Republican Admits Key ‘Informant’ Against Joe Biden Now Missing” HERE)

Biden’s DHS Gives Phones to Border Crossers While Releasing Them Into U.S.; ‘Border Czar’ Kamala Harris Kicks off Lifting of Title 42 With Democrat ‘Soiree’

/1 Comment/in , , /by

By Breitbart. President Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is issuing cell phones to border crossers and illegal aliens as they are being released into the United States. The phones are used strictly to track their whereabouts following their release.

Biden ended Title 42, one of the administration’s last few border controls to stem waves of illegal immigration, on Friday and began implementing a series of programs under its Catch and Release network that ensure most border crossers and illegal aliens are released into the United States while awaiting their immigration hearings, which are often years out.

As part of that process, DHS provides some border crossers and illegal aliens with phones to track their whereabouts. Those given phones are enrolled in the Alternatives to Detention (ATD) program, which allows new arrivals to remain in the United States without being detained while waiting for their cases to come up.

‘Border Czar’ Kamala Harris Kicks off Lifting of Title 42 With Democrat ‘Soiree’

By Breitbart. Vice President Kamala Harris kicks off her administration’s lifting of Title 42 by headlining the Democrat Party of Georgia’s “Spring Soiree” fundraiser on Friday.

Harris, named border czar by President Joe Biden in 2021, is scheduled to attend the “Spring Soiree” on Friday in Atlanta and the private fundraiser hosted by the Democrat National Committee (DNC). The events mark the beginning of their Biden-Harris campaign push to raise as much money as possible for the 2024 election cycle.

She will be attending the fundraisers instead of visiting the U.S.-Mexico border in her capacity as border czar, where 400,000 border crossers and illegal aliens are expected to come to the southern border every month, as the Biden administration puts an end to Title 42.

Title 42 was a federal public health authority that aimed to control the border, which expired at 11:59 p.m. Thursday. The House Republicans passed legislation, H.R.2, on Thursday to codify some of former President Trump’s strictest border policies. But, the legislation still has to get through the Senate, and the White House has promised President Joe Biden will veto it.

Treasury Secretary Says Nation Could Face Debt Default in Less Than Three Weeks

/0 Comments/in , /by

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen warned congressional leadership on Monday that the federal government could face a debt default in less than three weeks if an agreement on the debt ceiling is not quickly reached with President Joe Biden.

The debt ceiling, a policy that prevents the federal government from spending beyond a predetermined national debt limit of $31.4 trillion, surpassed the threshold earlier this year. Yellen said in her letter to lawmakers that the Treasury Department expects to default on obligations as early as June 1 unless the debt limit is either suspended or increased.

“We have learned from past debt limit impasses that waiting until the last minute to suspend or increase the debt limit can cause serious harm to business and consumer confidence, raise short-term borrowing costs for taxpayers, and negatively impact the credit rating of the United States,” she wrote. “In fact, we have already seen Treasury’s borrowing costs increase substantially for securities maturing in early June.”

Yellen added that the exact date of the debt default is “impossible to predict,” although the June 1 estimate is based on federal receipt, outlay, and debt data.

“If Congress fails to increase the debt limit, it would cause severe hardship to American families, harm our global leadership position, and raise questions about our ability to defend our national security interests,” she continued. “I continue to urge Congress to protect the full faith and credit of the United States by acting as soon as possible.” (Read more from “Treasury Secretary Says Nation Could Face Debt Default in Less Than Three Weeks” HERE)

Archie Comics Introduces Transgender Character

/0 Comments/in , /by

Continuing its walk down the ultra woke path, Archie Comics is now announcing the introduction of a new transgender character.

In an upcoming issue of its offshoot line, Archie Horror, the company is set to introduce a brand new “transgender woman” character named Danni Molloy, according to an exclusive sneak peek published by Gizmodo.

While the gender angle is new, the Molloy character itself is not exactly new. The character was first introduced in the 1980s and was portrayed as a sometimes girlfriend to Riverdale’s resident genius, Dilton Doiley. But now, for issue #1 of Archie Horror’s new comic, Chilling Adventures Presents: Strange Science, Malloy will be retconned as a “transgender woman.”

The entire purpose of this one-off comic book, which is set for release in August, is to erase Molloy as a woman and recreate the character as a man who now identifies as a female.

Not mentioned in the advanced gushing over the book is whether scientist character Dilton Doiley will now be portrayed as gay or if he was duped by Molloy since the character has dated Molloy in past issues of the Archie series.
