House Committee Demands Interviews With Jean-Pierre, Top Biden Staffers About Former Boss’s Decline

/0 Comments/in , /by

House Republicans are demanding interviews with Biden Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre and other top Biden White House staffers about the former president’s cognitive decline.

On Friday the House Oversight Committee sent a series of letters to Jean-Pierre, Ian Sams (special assistant to the president), Andrew Bates (senior deputy press secretary), and Jeff Zients (White House chief of staff) asking that they appear for transcribed interviews later this summer. According to Committee Chair James Comer, R-Ky., the requests are part of the body’s “aggressive investigation into the cover-up of [Biden’s] cognitive decline and potentially unauthorized executive actions” while serving as commander-in-chief.

“President Biden’s inner circle repeatedly told the American people that he was ‘sharp as ever,’ dismissing any commentary about his obvious mental decline as ‘gratuitous.’ They fed these false talking points to progressive allies and the media, who helped perpetuate that President Biden was fit to serve,” the Kentucky Republican said in a statement.

In their letter to Jean-Pierre, Oversight Republicans highlighted several examples of the former press secretary downplaying or dismissing times in which Biden showed signs of mental decline. In a press briefing following the Delaware Democrat’s disastrous June 2024 debate performance against Donald Trump, for example, Jean-Pierre claimed Biden was “as sharp as ever.”

“If White House staff carried out a strategy lasting months or even years to hide the chief executive’s condition — or to perform his duties — Congress may need to consider a legislative response,” the letter reads.

Biden Staffer Directing Autopen Didn’t Know Who Final Authorization Came From

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Neera Tanden, former head of Biden’s Domestic Policy Council, admitted that she authorized autopen signatures without knowledge of who issued the final approval in a closed-door hearing before the House Oversight Committee on Tuesday, according to Fox News.

In her role as staff secretary, before she was moved to the Domestic Policy Council, Tanden “was responsible for handling the the flow of documents to and from the President,” sending decision memos to “Biden’s inner circle” and affixing the president’s autopen signature to the documents when she received approval. Tanden was not privy to any of the decision-making process or who was giving the final approval. She rarely interacted with Biden. The system, according to her opening statement, was a relic of previous administrations.

Tanden denied that she had ever discussed the former president’s fitness for office, per Fox News. “I had no experience in the White House that would provide any reason to question his command as President. He was in charge,” she said in her statement.

When asked by a reporter after the hearing if there had been an “effort to disguise President Biden’s condition,” she quickly denied it as she walked away.

“Her testimony raises serious questions about who was really calling the shots in the Biden White House amid the President’s obvious decline,” Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., said in a statement.

Iranians Arrested at Border Released Into U.S. by Biden Admin as Threat to Homeland Looms

/0 Comments/in , /by

Over 1,500 Iranian nationals who illegally entered the U.S. at the southern border were arrested during the Biden administration, and nearly 50% of them were released back into the country, according to a senior U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) source.

More specifically, Border Patrol agents arrested 1,504 Iranian nationals from fiscal year 2021 through fiscal year 2024. Of the 1,504 individuals who were arrested, 729 were released into the U.S.

The number of Iranian nationals arrested at the southern border increased year-to-year, with 48 being arrested in FY21; 197 in FY22; 462 in FY23 and 797 in FY24.

Likewise, the number of Iranian nationals released also increased, with 12 in FY21; 40 in FY22; 229 in FY23; and 448 in FY24.

It is unclear how many of the Iranians released into the U.S. were on the terrorism watchlist, as the Biden administration repeatedly denied Fox News’ Freedom of Information Act requests and appeals for the data. The Biden administration cited “privacy concerns” of the people on the list, as well as “minimal public interest” for denying the requests.

Trump Admin Takes Bold Action to Help East Palestine Residents After Biden Neglect

/0 Comments/in , /by

Vice President JD Vance announced on Thursday that the Trump administration is launching a program aimed at studying the long-term health impacts of the chemical spill in East Palestine, Ohio.

In February 2023, a Norfolk Southern freight train derailed in East Palestine. The train was carrying hazardous materials when it derailed and crashed. The train cars burned for days, releasing toxins into the air and spilling across the community.

Shortly after, residents in the area reported different health concerns, presumably as a result of the train derailment.

“What happened then is that people got very worried…they’re very worried about what are the long-term impacts of these chemicals in the water, in the air. What effect does it have on their kids and grandkids after five years, 10 years, 15 years of exposure?” Vance said in a video posted to X.

“As much as I tried as a United States senator to work with the Biden administration, they refused to do anything to actually study the effects of these long-term exposures on the people of East Palestine,” Vance added.

Rep. Ronny Jackson Accuses Biden Doctor Kevin O’Connor Of Sexual Misconduct

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Former White House physician and Republican Texas Rep. Ronny Jackson told the Daily Caller during an interview Monday that Dr. Kevin O’Connor, President Biden’s former physician, engaged in inappropriate sexual misconduct while working at the White House.

Jackson said that during his time as Director of the White House Medical Unit (WHMU), he was responsible for signing O’Connor’s evaluations and fitness reports. During the interview, he said he thought about getting rid of O’Connor for a “variety of reasons” before accusing Biden’s doctor of inappropriate sexual behavior.

“One was because of some very inappropriate behavior on his part,” Jackson stated.

Jackson said O’Connor would take other people’s phones and put them down his pants near his groin as a prank, as well as make sexually inappropriate comments that upset female coworkers. Jackson did not provide specific places or dates where the conduct allegedly occurred. He also did not identify the women who were allegedly subjected to the behavior.

“I didn’t get rid of him because I knew it would be an exercise in futility,” Jackson explained. “Because if I had gotten rid of him, it was made very clear to me that I would be immediately getting a phone call from President Obama telling me, ‘What are you doing? Joe Biden’s upset. You need to hire this guy back or you need to stop this. You can’t get rid of this guy.’”

State Department To Destroy $13 Million In Biden Era Contraceptives

/0 Comments/in , /by

The State Department is destroying $13 million worth of contraceptives, The Daily Wire has learned, in addition to saving nearly $31 million by canceling contraceptive orders placed by President Joe Biden’s administration.

The contraceptives — including everything from hormonal birth control pills to birth control implants — were set to be distributed abroad through the U.S. Agency for International Development. But the State Department now says the Biden administration purchased much of these contraceptives in violation of the Kemp-Kasten Amendment, which prevents U.S. funds from going to organizations that support or participate in programs of coercive abortion or involuntary sterilization.

There were some interested buyers, a State Department official said, but they were deemed ineligible since they support organizations involved in coercive abortion and sterilization. Those buyers reportedly included the Gates Foundation, the Children’s Investment Fund Foundation (CIFF), and the United Nations Population Fund. None of these organizations immediately responded to requests for comment.

A State Department official noted that it would cost the department several million dollars to sell the materials to other vendors, given that the department would have to rebrand some of these materials. Destroying the contraceptives, meanwhile, would cost taxpayers around $167,000, the official said. Doing so also avoids potential further violations of the Kemp-Kasten Amendment and ensures the materials don’t fall into the wrong hands — something that has happened before with USAID, according to the State Department.

Homeland Security Details Shocking Abuse of Migrant Children; Adults Impregnated Children

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Biden administration placed some illegal immigrant children with sponsors who got them pregnant, the Homeland Security Department said Thursday.

In other cases, minors who showed up at the border without parents were sent to live with adults who possessed child pornography, had serious criminal records or forced the children into labor.

Hundreds of thousands of these unaccompanied alien children surged into the U.S. as part of the Biden border breakdown. The administration struggled to process them. Facing overcrowded and dangerous conditions, it cut corners to push the children out of detention as quickly as possible, leaving some in unsafe placements, the government now says.

“Children’s safety and security is nonnegotiable,” said Laszlo Baksay, a spokesperson at U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. “The previous administration’s failure to implement meaningful safeguards has allowed vulnerable kids to fall into the hands of criminals.”

Homeland Security Investigations, a division of ICE, has spent the past few months trying to check up on the children. Thursday’s findings grew out of that effort. (Read more from “Homeland Security Details Shocking Abuse of Migrant Children; Adults Impregnated Children” HERE)

Former Biden Aides Unload on Karine Jean-Pierre After She Leaves Democratic Party

/0 Comments/in , /by

The “scorched-earth” reaction to a shocking announcement from a former Biden White House press secretary is confirming many of the criticisms of her from the right during her tenure.

Karine Jean-Pierre was lauded by many on the left for being the first black, female LGBTQ member to work as press secretary, but she has since turned her back on the Democratic Party and said she will become an independent.

Jean-Pierre made the announcement while also revealing that she will be publishing a book detailing how the Democratic Party betrayed former President Joe Biden.

Many former aides and staffers in the Biden administration spoke to Axios and revealed their distaste for Jean-Pierre and her attempt to cash in on her time at the White House.

Jean-Pierre was described as “one of the most ineffectual and unprepared people I’ve ever worked with,” according to one former staffer. “She had meltdowns after any interview that asked about a topic not sent over by producers.” (Read more from “Former Biden Aides Unload on Karine Jean-Pierre After She Leaves Democratic Party” HERE)

Biden-Appointed Judge Blocks Trump From Deporting Family Of Radical Islamist Terrorist

/0 Comments/in , /by

Colorado Federal Judge Gordon Gallagher, a Biden appointee, issued an order on Wednesday blocking the Trump administration from deporting the family of radical Islamist terrorist Mohamed Soliman, who on Sunday set a dozen Jewish demonstrators on fire.

The two-page order — the latest in the string of judicial lawfare — states that the Trump administration “SHALL NOT REMOVE Hayem El Gamal and her five children from the District of Colorado or the United States unless or until this Court or the Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit vacates this Order.”

The order comes hours after Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced that DHS and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) “have taken the family of suspected Boulder, Colorado terrorist, and illegal alien, Mohamed Soliman, into ICE custody.”

ICE detained Soliman’s wife, Hayam Salah Alsaid Ahmed Elgamal, and his five children and processed them for removal, according to the Department of Homeland Security. All are citizens of Egypt. While Soliman is an illegal alien, the legal status of his family members is unclear.

Soliman set Jewish demonstrators on fire in Boulder, Colorado, on Sunday, injuring a dozen, including a Holocaust survivor. The demonstrators were calling for the release of the hostages being held by Hamas. (Read more from “Biden-Appointed Judge Blocks Trump From Deporting Family Of Radical Islamist Terrorist” HERE)

Biden’s LGBT Envoy Was Slammed For ‘Inappropriate’ Travel Spending, Emails Show

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Biden administration’s global ambassador for all things LGBT was a travel diva with no regard for cost, who even got smacked down for “inappropriate” spending requests as she traveled on the government dime, according to a batched of emails obtained by The Daily Wire.

The emails show that Jessica Stern, the Biden State Department’s Special Envoy to Advance the Human Rights of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Intersex Persons, failed to report travel expenses on time, requested a costly car for a week in Rome, and berated staff for missing vegetarian meals on her flights as she jetted around the world pushing far-left ideology, according to a batch of emails obtained by The Daily Wire.

Stern raked in $180,000 a year as her state-sanctioned LGBT activism took her to all six habitable continents, with stops in places like Fiji and Brazil, where she traveled on the taxpayer dime to march alongside a “transvestite sl*t,” a previous Daily Wire exposé found.

Documents reviewed by The Daily Wire, obtained by the Center to Advance Security in America (CASA) show that Stern, who left her post after President Donald Trump’s re-election, failed to even report her travel expenses on time. The envoy, who said in her emails that she identifies with “all pronouns,” even admitted that she didn’t know where she would find her expenses after a State Department official asked for her accounting.

“We are still waiting on last year’s accounting for travel from your office … before approving further travel,” wrote a State Department official whose name is redacted in October 2022. “We have every other office except yours. I have asked several times and no one has provided. Please do so as soon as possible.” (Read more from “Biden’s LGBT Envoy Was Slammed For ‘Inappropriate’ Travel Spending, Emails Show” HERE)
