Equity Agenda Funded by Biden’s Infrastructure Law

/0 Comments/in , /by

A new grant application released by the Department of Energy (DOE) on Wednesday showed President Joe Biden’s trillion-dollar infrastructure law is being used to fund diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs in solar power companies.

The $10 million grant seeks to incentivize the creation of DEI programs in solar power unions and bolster underrepresented minority employment in the solar power industry, according to the grant. The grant originates from funding provided by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, which was signed into law in January.

Individual grant recipients will receive up to $1.5 million, the grant states.

Unions are a vital vehicle for the project’s ambitions, the grant states, as funding should “encourage meaningful engagement” and “participation” in labor unions and “underserved minority communities.”

Hostage-Like Video From Joe Biden Is Really Freaking Everybody Out; It’s Worse Than We Initially Knew

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Townhall. . .I covered the disturbingly viral video from President Joe Biden in which he didn’t blink for nearly 20 seconds as he made some digs at former President Donald Trump and blabbered on about how “you can’t be pro-insurrection and pro-cop, you can’t be pro-insurrection and pro-democracy, you can’t be pro-insurrection and pro-American.” Well, as it turns out, there was more footage, as our friends at Twitchy covered, and it contains sloppy cuts.

Kyle Martinsen, who does rapid response for RNC Research, tweeted out such footage later that night, noting he did not edit it, but the White House certainly did.

A major complaint from the video published Tuesday afternoon was that the president didn’t blink, once. His voice also sounded croaky and hoarse though.

While Biden does blink in the raw footage video, his voice remains problematic. It even sounds like he’s slurring his words. “This law does so much more, it saves lives, including yours,” he says at one point. “It’ll help you do your job, but it’s just a start,” he says at another.

The additional footage also gives deeper context to Biden referencing being “pro-cop,” despite how members of his party have supported defunding the police.

Biden Goes 40 Seconds Without Blinking, Raising Health Concerns

By Washington Free Beacon. President Joe Biden turns 80 in November. He recently tested positive for COVID-19, a virus that is disproportionately fatal among individuals over the age of 65. He has already outlived the average life expectancy for American men (75.1) by several years. For these reasons and many others, amateur health experts were alarmed after analyzing video of Biden’s recent address to black law enforcement executives on Monday.

At one point in the video, for example, Biden appeared to speak for at least 40 seconds without blinking his eyes. That’s unnatural, and raises a number of troubling questions about the president’s fitness to hold office. (Read more from “Biden Goes 40 Seconds Without Blinking, Raising Health Concerns” HERE)

Biden After Getting Coronavirus: Keep Wearing Masks, Get Vaccinated but You Will Probably Get Infected Anyway

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden emerged from coronavirus isolation Wednesday urging Americans to continue wearing masks indoors and getting their vaccine shots.

“My symptoms were mild, recovery was quick, and I’m feeling great,” Biden said proudly.

The president delivered a speech outdoors in the Rose Garden in front of reporters, the first time he has appeared at an in-person event since he first tested positive.

The president repeated his advice to Americans about the importance of wearing masks.

“You should consider wearing a mask when you’re in a crowded indoor public place,” he said. “These precautions add an extra layer of protection for you and for those around you.” (Read more from “Biden After Getting Coronavirus: Keep Wearing Masks, Get Vaccinated but You Will Probably Get Infected Anyway” HERE)

Another Catastrophic Biden Failure: Russia Rolling in Cash Due to Ukraine War, Sanctions

/0 Comments/in , /by

Despite repeated assurances from President Biden and other Western leaders that “the toughest economic sanctions in history” would cripple Russia’s economy and starve its war machine, that hasn’t happened. Russia’s current account, which measures global trade in goods and services, was strong in the second quarter of this year when its trade surplus rose to a record $70.1 billion. The ruble, too, has exhibited remarkable resiliency, ranking as the strongest performing currency so far this year, rising to its highest level against the euro since 2015 and making major gains against the dollar.

What accounts for Putin’s bulging coffers? The simple answer: high commodity prices and Russia’s continued ability to export oil, gas, grain, and even gold to non-Western countries.

The economic picture isn’t as rosy for the countries sanctioning Russia. Europe is struggling to meet its energy needs, driving up inflation and forcing countries at the vanguard of the green movement to backpedal. Germany, for example, whose minister of economic affairs and climate action comes from the Green Party, was forced to reactivate seventeen coal-fired power plants it previously had shut down. President Biden, with inflation sitting at a forty-year high, recently begged Saudi Arabia’s leaders—a regime it had been shunning—to come to the rescue by pumping more crude to help bring down gas prices and ease the inflationary pressure high fuel prices are placing on other goods.

. . . The combination of sanctions and war disrupted energy and grain supplies, creating an economic opportunity that Russia has exploited. Indeed, according to the Helsinki-based Center for Energy and Clean Air, Moscow earned $100 billion in revenue from oil, gas, and coal sales in the first three months of the war alone.

While the Biden administration was drawing down the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to increase available supplies and lower gasoline prices—plunging America’s emergency reserve to its lowest level since the mid-1980s—Russia’s oil exports had bounced back to pre-war levels by May.

‘Soviet-Style Propaganda’: Republicans Rip Biden White House for Redefining ‘Recession’; Biden’s Lame Economic Spin Leaves You Wondering if They Even Want to Do What’s Needed to Turn Things Around

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Breitbart. Republican officials in the House and Senate ripped into the Biden administration after it attempted to redefine what constitutes a recession while concerns mount about a significant decline in economic activity this year.

On Thursday, ahead of a potentially negative GDP report expected later this week — the annualized economic growth rate shrank by 1.6% in the first quarter of this year and appears to have contracted even more in the second — a White House blog post attempted to redefine the term “recession.”

“While some maintain that two consecutive quarters of falling real GDP constitute a recession, that is neither the official definition nor the way economists evaluate the state of the business cycle,” it reads, concluding that it is “unlikely that the decline in GDP in the first quarter of this year — even if followed by another GDP decline in the second quarter — indicates a recession.”

In addition, White House National Economic Council director Brian Deese claimed that a second consecutive quarter of negative GDP growth was technically “not a recession.”

In response, Republicans took to Twitter to rip the Biden team for seeking to redefine what a recession is.

Biden’s Lame Economic Spin Leaves You Wondering if They Even Want to Do What’s Needed to Turn Things Around

By New York Post. White House efforts to spin away the grim facts on the US economy, rather than actually doing anything about it, are now in overdrive.

Thus, with the Bureau of Economic Analysis likely to report Thursday that the economy shrank again in the second quarter after contracting 1.6% in the first, Team Biden is claiming that doesn’t technically constitute a recession, even though it’s the standard interpretation.

“The technical definition [of a recession] is not two negative quarters,” insisted Biden economist Brian Deese on Monday, citing the National Bureau of Economic Research’s broader characterization: “a significant decline in economic activity that is spread across the economy and that lasts more than a few months.” A White House blog post made a similar argument.

Sorry, but even Biden Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen just acknowledged that two consecutive quarters of declining Gross Domestic Product is what economists consider a recession.

Can there be any better proof that the White House knows the economy stinks than its lame attempt to paint six months of falling GDP as not so terrible? (Or does President Joe Biden think fewer goods and services — which is what falling GDP means — is a good thing?)

Experts Weigh In: Could Hunter Biden Be Going to Prison?

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Breitbart. Hunter Biden reportedly did not register as a foreign agent while making business deals overseas, according to the New York Post.

Experts said recently it was a possible crime that could result in him being sent to prison.

The report noted Biden was registered as a lobbyist for domestic interests but not under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA). . .

Meanwhile, George Washington University Law Professor Jonathan Turley addressed the FARA issue, saying, “recent disclosures of additional foreign contacts has only strengthened what was already a strong case.”

“Indeed, in the last few weeks, the compelling basis for a FARA charge has becomes unassailable and undeniable,” Turley said. (Read more from “Experts Weigh In: Could Hunter Biden Be Going to Prison?” HERE)

Report: Justice Department Weighs Charging Hunter Biden for Tax, Gun Violations

By Breitbart. Hunter Biden could reportedly be charged by the Justice Department for tax violations and lying to law enforcement about illegally purchasing a firearm, as the probe into President Joe Biden’s son comes to a head.

Trump-appointed U.S. prosecutor David Weiss is deliberating whether to charge Hunter for “making a false statement in connection with Biden’s purchase of a firearm at a time he would have been prohibited from doing so because of his acknowledged struggles with drug addiction,” CNN reported Wednesday.

As Breitbart News reported, Hunter may have lied on paperwork he submitted when purchasing a handgun in 2018 by not disclosing his drug additions. Hunter’s sister-in-law, with whom he had an affair, reportedly took his gun and disposed of it. Hunter’s text messages reveal the Secret Service, the FBI, and state law enforcement likely became involved, but without consequences for the president’s son.

The probe, which has been ongoing for years and debated for months among Justice Department officials, also centers on the Biden family’s foreign business schemes while Joe Biden was vice president. During those years, Hunter routinely met with Joe Biden about 30 times at either the White House or the vice president’s residences at the Naval Observatory, Hunter’s laptop from hell revealed.

Biden: If You Don’t Support Banning Assault Weapons, ‘You’re Not On The Side Of Police’

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden said Monday that Republicans who voted against banning assault rifles are not on the side of police in America.

Speaking virtually to attendees at the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives conference in Orlando, Florida, Biden said that Republicans who refused to ban so-called “weapons of war” are not telling the truth when they claim to support law enforcement. In particular, Biden called out Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) and Senators Marco Rubio and Rick Scott (R-FL) for refusing to support Democrats’ gun control efforts.

“Being a cop today is a hell of a lot harder than it’s ever been,” Biden said during his speech. “We expect everything of you. We expect you to be drug counselors to people overdosing at a scene; therapists to couples during a violent confrontation; social workers to kids who have been abandoned. Maybe worst of all, we send you out to do your job on the streets flooded with weapons of war.”

“You hear a lot of politicians say about how much they love you, how much they care about you, they’ll do anything for you,” Biden continued. “In the state you’re in today, Governor [Ron] DeSantis, Sen. [Marco] Rubio, Sen. Rick Scott all opposed banning assault weapons, and Senators Scott and Rubio voted against the bipartisan gun safety law that I signed, the first meaningful gun legislation in nearly thirty years, that you supported. To me, it’s simple. If you can’t support banning weapons of war on American streets, you’re not on the side of police.” (Read more from “Biden: If You Don’t Support Banning Assault Weapons, ‘You’re Not on the Side of Police’” HERE)

Hunter Biden Evidence Wrongly Labeled Disinformation by FBI: Whistleblower

/0 Comments/in , /by

The FBI’s investigation into Hunter Biden wrongly labeled verified evidence as “disinformation,” agency whistleblowers claimed.

Agents investigating President Joe Biden’s son “opened an assessment which was used by an FBI headquarters team to improperly discredit negative Hunter Biden information as disinformation and caused investigative activity to cease,” according to Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA). Grassley revealed the claim after his office received “a significant number of protected communications from highly credible whistleblowers” about the investigation. The Republican claimed one of the communications shows “verified and verifiable derogatory information on Hunter Biden was falsely labeled as disinformation.”

FBI supervisory intelligence agent Brian Auten opened in August 2020 the assessment that was later used by the agency, according to the disclosures. One of the whistleblowers claimed the FBI assistant special agent in charge of the Washington field office, Timothy Thibault, shut down a line of inquiry into Hunter Biden in October 2020 despite some of the details being known to be true at the time.

A whistleblower also said Thibault “ordered closed” an “avenue of additional derogatory Hunter Biden reporting,” according to Grassley, even though “all of the reporting was either verified or verifiable via criminal search warrants.” The senator said Thibault “ordered the matter closed without providing a valid reason as required” and that FBI officials “subsequently attempted to improperly mark the matter in FBI systems so that it could not be opened in the future,” according to the disclosures.

Whistleblowers alleged investigators from an FBI headquarters team “were in communication with FBI agents responsible for the Hunter Biden information targeted by Mr. Auten’s assessment” and that their findings on whether the claims were true or disinformation were placed “in a restricted access sub-file” in September 2020, according to the senator.

‘Squad’ Dem Doesn’t Exactly Give Ringing Endorsement When Asked About Biden 2024

/0 Comments/in , /by

Rep. Cori Bush, D-Mo., refused to comment Monday when asked whether she supported President Joe Biden running for a second term.

“Do you want to see Joe Biden run for a second term?” Bush was asked during an interview at her campaign headquarters Monday with 5 On Your Side.

“She’s got to go,” a campaign aide could be heard saying off camera.

“That’s an easy question. It’s not going to take long,” 5 On Your Side’s Mark Maxwell asked her.

“I don’t want to answer that question because we have not — that’s not — yeah, I don’t want to answer that question,” Bush said, appearing to be caught off guard. “I mean, he’s the president. He has the right to run for a second term, absolutely. But I don’t want to … I’d rather you not ask that question.”

Media Sugarcoat 79-Year-Old Biden’s Covid Test After Threatening School, Church, And Work Could Kill You

/0 Comments/in , /by

Remember when bureaucrats and talking heads warned you ominously that Covid was so arbitrarily deadly that you couldn’t go to church, your kids couldn’t go to school, and you couldn’t have Christmas dinner with your family? If you didn’t triple-mask, you were killing grandmas. And if you came down with the virus? Boy, were you a selfish, evil person clearly set on trying to kill us all. . .

And yet, now that President Joe Biden has contracted Covid, all those people who warned you the virus should leave you in constant fear for your life are awkwardly trying to avoid eye contact. We all wish the president well in his recovery. At 78, Biden is at a far higher risk for severe Covid complications than the average American, and far more vulnerable than the millions of schoolchildren that were banned from their classrooms by the Covid gatekeepers. But are those gatekeepers as worried now as they told you to be?

“Biden’s age puts him at risk for severe Covid, but experts predict boosters and Paxlovid will aid in a quick recovery,” NBC News assures us. “President Biden, double-boosted, is in a good position to fight covid,” adds The Washington Post.

My personal favorite, also from WaPo: “Biden’s covid diagnosis shows the benefits of avoiding infection.” (In other words, Biden getting sick shows the benefits of avoiding sickness — real J-school brilliance there.) Writer Philip Bump brushes off Biden’s positive test as “inevitable” for “a guy who meets a lot of people and does a lot of traveling, after all” — a far cry from the blame game major media outlets played when former President Donald Trump contracted the virus — before pitifully trying to justify why Trump was reckless for contracting Covid while Biden was not for doing the same thing.
