Joe Biden, Don’t Repeat Your Afghanistan Blunders in Iraq

/0 Comments/in , /by

No one who’s been following the news in Iraq since last year’s inconclusive parliamentary elections should be surprised to see violence currently erupting in Baghdad.

For months, various political factions have jostled unsuccessfully for a governing majority. Muqtada al Sadr, the volatile cleric who fueled much of the bloodshed in Iraq after the U.S. invasion, controls the most seats but not enough to form a governing coalition. This past weekend, he decided to turn up the heat.

On Saturday, al Sadr set a 72-hour time limit to resolve the crisis and insisted that all political actors leave the public stage to give way to a new generation. If this failed, he suggested violence would be the last recourse — including the forcible closure of Iraq’s oil fields. On Monday, he made good on the threat as the Green Zone erupted in fighting, and some of Sadr’s followers occupied oil facilities. While Sadr claims he is trying to restore order, he has clearly demonstrated the capability to create violent chaos in Baghdad, and what comes next is anyone’s guess.

While Americans have excellent reason to be wary of the endless political dysfunction and endemic corruption in Iraq, this threat brings into sharp relief the twin realities that demand attention: the potential for a dramatically heightened global energy crisis and the violent malign influence of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Some three and a quarter million barrels of oil a day flow out of Iraq. Major political disruptions will carry over and cause significant supply disruptions just as the world continues to struggle with international restrictions on Russian oil.

. . .Over the weekend Biden pulled over to speak with reporters before boarding Air Force One. An irritated and hurried First Lady rushed over and tried to physically remove him from the conversation.

She’s done this before on multiple occasions. Family members also help.

Biden Ramps Up Rhetoric Against ‘MAGA Republicans’ In Speech On Crime

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden ramped up his rhetoric against “MAGA Republicans” during a Tuesday afternoon speech in Pennsylvania.

Biden traveled to Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, to speak about how his “Safe America Plan” will help reduce “gun crime and save lives,” according to a schedule provided by the White House. A key portion of the president’s speech was aimed at the GOP, with Biden slamming the defense of January 6 rioters and calls by some within the party to defund the FBI following the raid on Mar-a-Lago.

“You hear some of my friends in the other team talking about political violence and how it’s necessary. Think about this now. Did any of you think … you’d ever be in an election where we talk about, it’s appropriate to use force political violence in America. It’s never appropriate, never. Period. Never, never, never,” Biden said.

“To this day, the MAGA Republicans in Congress defend the mob that stormed the Capitol on January 6. Defend them. You all saw it,” the president added.

Biden continued on to directly address his “MAGA Republicans friends in Congress,” arguing that they can’t tell him they “support law enforcement if you won’t condemn what happened” on January 6. (Read more from “Biden Ramps up Rhetoric Against ‘MAGA Republicans’ in Speech on Crime” HERE)

Republicans Gear Up to Impeach Biden in GOP Majority House

/0 Comments/in , /by

Several times already, firebrand Republicans have introduced articles of impeachment against Joe Biden in the U.S. House.

There’s been literally zero chance that they would advance, given the lockstep control Democrat Speaker Nancy Pelosi exercises over her party.

But widely expected by analysts is that the GOP will retake that majority in the 2022 midterms.

And the Daily Mail is documenting that GOP members already “are signaling that they’ll make impeaching President Joe Biden a priority if their party wins control of the House.”

“The last year and a half has seen multiple GOP lawmakers accuse Biden of ‘high crimes and misdemeanors,’ primarily over the chaotic Afghanistan withdrawal and the continuing crisis on the southern border with Mexico,” the report said.

Wait, Did Biden Just Promise to Never Let Another Election Get Stolen Again? (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Townhall. Despite being told that elections were safe, secure and beyond corruption, President Joe Biden just said the quiet part aloud, making the Democrat party want to go into hiding once again.

Last week, Biden told a group of rally goers that Democrats have a plan in place to “make sure no one, no one, ever has the opportunity to steal an election again.”

“If we elect two more senators, we keep the House and Democrats, we’re going to get a lot of unfinished business we’re going to get done. Folks, look, we’ll codify Roe v. Wade. We’ll ban, we’ll ban assault weapons. We’ll protect Social Security and Medicare. We’ll pass universal pre-K. We’ll restore the Childcare Tax Credit. We’ll protect voting rights. We’ll pass election reform and make sure no one, no one, ever has the opportunity to steal an election again!,” Biden said to the crowd.

But wait, which stolen election is he talking about? . . .

If I heard correctly, I believe that Biden just admitted to stealing the election away from his predecessor. (Read more from “Wait, Did Biden Just Promise to Never Let Another Election Get Stolen Again?” HERE)

Biden’s New White House Twitter Strategy Highlights His Administration’s Incompetence

By Daily Wire. This week, leftists were delighted to see “mean tweets” return as the official White House Twitter account blasted Republicans for being critical of President Joe Biden’s student debt amnesty despite taking COVID-era Paycheck Protection Plan (PPP) loans that were also forgiven.

The only problem with that social media strategy is that PPP loans were completely different from college loans. In an obvious way, the new tactic highlights his administration’s incompetence.

On Wednesday, Biden announced that he was enacting massive debt cancellation — paid for in part by millions of Americans who didn’t attend college, nevermind take out student loans. Many GOP officials voiced concern that this was simply a transfer of wealth from the working class to the white-collar class.

Folks like Representatives Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), Mike Kelly (R-PA), Matt Gaetz (R-FL), and more all made similar comments, saying it was unfair for tradesmen and non-college degree holders to bail out post-grads.

In turn, the White House snarkily responded by posting evidence that those individuals and others had received PPP loans and had their debts forgiven.

Top Dem Torches Biden’s Student Loan Debt Forgiveness Plan

/0 Comments/in , /by

Paul Begala, who served former President Bill Clinton as a top adviser, fiercely condemned on Sunday President Joe Biden’s plan to forgive student loan debt.

Speaking on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Begala not only called Biden’s plan “bad policy,” but he rebuked it as “bad politics.”

According to Begala, instead of forgiving debts that Americans freely enter, the money that will be used to execute Biden’s plan would be better served helping improve the lives of Americans stuck in under-resourced and under-privileged situations.

“For that amount of money, you could fund free pre-K for every 3 and 4-year-old for 10 years,” Begala said. “You would do a lot more good for poor people, communities of color, and the underprivileged by doing pre-K. You could forgive all medical debt, which, unlike student debt, is not freely entered into.”

“I’m a progressive. I want to help folks,” he added. “But I think this is terrible policy.” (Read more from “Top Dem Torches Biden’s Student Loan Debt Forgiveness Plan” HERE)

Team Biden Must Pay For Using Military as Lab Rats for COVID-19 Shots

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Department of Defense under commander-in-chief Joe Biden’s watch has been busily using soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines as test rats in the government-run laboratory experiment called COVID-19 Vaccines.

And for that, they must pay.

A whistleblower report to Congress dated August 15, 2022, and signed by several officers with the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and Coast Guard, states in part: “Since 24 August 2021, the Department of Defense has unlawfully administered Emergency Use Authorized products … as if they were fully licensed FDA approved products.”

The “products,” of course, are the COVID-19 shots.

And just because service members are required by military oath to obey orders, that doesn’t mean they have to obey unlawful orders, or that they give up their rights to informed consent on medical matters.

How Biden Outdid Trump, Obama and George W. Bush in Confirming Federal Judges by This Point in Office, a Feat Overshadowed by War and Inflation

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .Biden has appointed more judges to federal courts at this point in his tenure than any other president since John F. Kennedy.

As of August 8, 2022, exactly 566 days into Biden’s tenure, the Senate had confirmed a record-setting 75 judges nominated by Biden to federal courts, according to a tally from the Pew Research Center.

That’s more than Donald Trump, Barack Obama and George W. Bush had confirmed by this point in their presidencies as well as other presidents after JFK who remains the record holder for speedy nominations at this point in their tenure with 102. The overall number of Biden judicial nominees confirmed by the Senate stood at 78 as of August 26, according to UScourts.gov. That includes appeals and district court judges, along with one Supreme Court justice.

Biden’s nominations have also included a historic number of women and racial and ethnic minorities. Most notably, Ketanji Brown Jackson, the first Black woman to be nominated and confirmed in a bipartisan vote for the Supreme Court.

In early August, when the Senate confirmed Indian-American lawyer Roopali Desai, to serve as a Circuit Judge for the Ninth Circuit, Majority Leader Chuck Schumer highlighted the significance of her confirmation in creating a more diverse court.

CENTCOM Commander Who Oversaw Afghanistan Pullout Blames Biden and Trump

/0 Comments/in , /by

Retired Gen. Frank McKenzie, who oversaw the U.S. troop withdrawal from Afghanistan as commander of U.S. Central Command, placed blame on both President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump for how the war ended in an interview Sunday.

McKenzie made the comments in a wide-ranging discussion with defense journalist Jennifer Griffin on Fox News Sunday about the end to the nation’s longest war and the fallout from it. McKenzie, who retired in April after 42 years of service, was asked about Biden and Trump individually. He reiterated that he opposed a complete military exit from the failed state, arguing to Griffin after she asked about the chaotic August withdrawal that the decision to eliminate any troop presence was largely responsible for what went wrong.

“Subsequently, after we made the decision to go to zero, the decision to try to maintain an embassy platform until far too late contributed also to what happened in August,” McKenzie said. “Those are, I think, two of the big decisions that led us to the events that you just described.”

Asked if Trump’s Doha Agreement, the U.S.-Taliban withdrawal deal, was responsible for the collapse of the Afghan government, McKenzie offered his most pointed criticism of both commanders-in-chief. (Read more from “CENTCOM Commander Who Oversaw Afghanistan Pullout Blames Biden and Trump” HERE)

Biden Uses the F-Word to Describe MAGA Republicans

/0 Comments/in , , /by

This week, President Joe Biden rolled out a new adjective to describe Republicans in the mold of former President Donald Trump: “semifascist.”

Biden first publicly used the term at a Democratic National Committee reception ahead of an end-of-summer rally for the coming midterm elections.

While exuding confidence that the forces of democracy were defeating the Trump Republicans, on the heels of recent Democratic momentum, Biden warned that “the entire philosophy that underpins” their politics is “almost like semifascism, the way in which it deals.”

Despite the “almost,” “like,” and “semi” qualifiers, it was a major rhetorical escalation from Biden.

Biden has long suggested that Trump’s political movement was anti-democratic, especially following the former president’s 2020 election challenges, the Jan. 6 Capitol riot to disrupt the certification of the Electoral College results, and the enactment of Republican voting laws in several GOP-run states.
