Funny Business? Biden Got a Mass Amount of Excess Votes in Key Swing States

. . .[A] new study from John R. Lott reportedly shows how Biden received 255,000 excess ballots in key swing states. He doesn’t want this study used to challenge the 2020 results, though that’s exactly what’s going to happen. He merely wanted to show how easy it is to count invalid ballots. It’s a peer-reviewed study (via Washington Times):

Looking at six swing states, the data he crunched found that voter turnout in Republican areas increased from 2016 to 2020 while voter turnout among Democrats dropped — except in places where voter fraud was claimed.

That accounted for 255,000 “excess” votes for Mr. Biden above what would be expected, Mr. Lott said. His paper has been accepted for publication in Public Choice, a peer-reviewed journal specializing in the intersection of economics and political science.

“More heavily Democratic counties actually had a slightly lower turnout in 2020, except for counties where vote fraud was alleged. In those counties, you had a huge increase in turnout,” Mr. Lott told The Washington Times in an interview explaining his findings.

“In some of those swing states, you had counties where vote fraud was alleged. In some of those swing states, you had counties where vote fraud wasn’t alleged. And yet you only had huge increases in turnout where vote fraud was alleged,” he said.

Biden Defiant Over Europe Trip Gaffes on Russia/Ukraine: ‘None of the Three Occurred’; Why Biden’s Off-Script Remarks About Putin Are So Dangerous

By Breitbart. President Joe Biden appeared frustrated on Monday when he was asked to clarify his comment about chemical weapons and other comments during his trip to Europe. . .

When Biden was asked by Fox News reporter Peter Doocy to clarify his assertion that Russian President Vladimir Putin would trigger a “response in kind” if he used chemical weapons, the president grew indignant.

“I’m not gonna tell you. Why would I tell you?” he replied. “You gotta be silly.” . . .

Biden was asked about his other two comments that required clarification from the White House, including a comment to American troops about what they would see when they got to Ukraine and his comment about regime change in Russia.

“None of the three occurred, you interpreted the language that way,” he complained. (Read more from “Biden Defiant Over Europe Trip Gaffes on Russia/Ukraine: ‘None of the Three Occurred’” HERE)

Why Biden’s Off-Script Remarks About Putin Are So Dangerous

By BBC News. Over the past week, US President Joe Biden has made a series of unscripted remarks that have upped the temperature of US-Russia relations to near boiling point. . .

Earlier in the day, the US president had called Mr Putin a “butcher”. Last week, he seemed to get ahead of his own administration’s diplomatic process by accusing the Russian leader of war crimes. In both cases, Mr Biden’s remarks prompted condemnations and warnings from Moscow that US-Russia diplomatic relations were being frayed to the point of breaking.

There’s a line between condemning a nation’s leader – the sometimes overheated rhetoric of diplomacy – and calling for his removal. It was a line both the Americans and the Soviets respected even at the height of the Cold War. And it is a line that Mr Biden had apparently crossed. . .

In Washington, congressional leaders were also expressing concern. Idaho Republican Jim Risch, the senior Republican on the Senate foreign relations committee, called Mr Biden’s remarks a “horrendous gaffe”.

“My gosh, I wish they would keep him on script,” he said. “Any time you say or even, as he did, suggest that the policy was regime change, it’s going to cause a huge problem. This administration has done everything they can to stop escalating. There’s not a whole lot more you can do to escalate than to call for regime change.” (Read more from “Why Biden’s Off-Script Remarks About Putin Are So Dangerous” HERE)

It Shouldn’t Be Hard to Condemn Ketanji Brown Jackson’s Leniency for Child Predators

Joe Biden has nominated Ketanji Brown Jackson to be the newest Supreme Court justice, a seat held for life. Immediately, Sen. Josh Hawley brought forward concerns about Jackson’s history of leniency toward child predators.

National Review’s Andrew McCarthy weighed in to say that Republicans like Hawley are making a big mistake, and a big deal out of nothing. McCarthy correctly points out that if Republicans are so concerned about this issue, they should make sentences on child predators tougher.

But McCarthy wasn’t arguing for tougher sentences, just making a rhetorical point. He went on to compare child sexual abuse imagery to drugs, and claimed the only justification for making these materials illegal is “market theory”—that the consumption of these illicit materials drives the abuse of children in the materials, even though the persons viewing the materials supposedly aren’t abusers themselves. . .

In jumps fellow National Reviewer Ramesh Ponnuru with an article that says our child porn laws “might” be too weak. Ponnuru correctly points out how wrong the Supreme Court was in 2002 to allow “virtual” child sexual abuse imagery where real children aren’t being abused, and then quickly argues that McCarthy’s view is wrong because these materials certainly harm “our moral ecology.” (Read more from “It Shouldn’t Be Hard to Condemn Ketanji Brown Jackson’s Leniency for Child Predators” HERE)

Biden Used Cheat Sheet While Doubling Down on Unscripted Message to Oust Putin

President Joe Biden once again referred to a printed cheat sheet sheet as he doubled down on his unscripted weekend claim that Vladimir Putin “cannot remain in power.”

On Monday Biden, 79, told reporters he made “no apologies” for his remarks — made off the cuff and not part of his prepared speech in a nationally televised address from Poland Saturday — and did not view it as a provocation to Russia. . .

His comments closely aligned with notes printed on a small piece of paper that he was photographed holding in his left hand as he spoke that began as follows:

If you weren’t advocating for regime change, what did you mean? Can you clarify?

I was expressing the moral outrage I felt towards the actions of this man

These Biden Actions Drove Gas Prices to Historic Highs

. . .[I]t’s not as simple or as nefarious — at least not on the part of oil and gas companies — as the Biden administration would like you to believe. And now, thanks to Rep. Jim Banks’ (R-IN) team at the Republican Study Committee, there are a lot more examples — 81, to be exact — of Biden’s actions that led to consistently rising gas prices since he took office. . .

On January 20, 2021, Biden signed an executive order directing the federal government to review and rescind President Trump’s policies that made the United States energy independent. Biden’s first actions also included increasing emissions regulations and restricting domestic energy. And, of course, he killed the Keystone XL Pipeline. The average price for a gallon of gas: $2.379.

Through his first months in office, Biden continued taking actions that cut off America’s rich fossil fuels and artificially incentivized alternative energy sources. There was another executive order focused on enforcing “environmental justice.” A decision to double the amount of wind energy on federal lands. A moratorium on oil and gas leases. And Biden put the United States back into the Paris Climate agreement. By mid-April in Biden’s first year, the national average for a gallon of gas had risen to $2.855.

Summer 2021 saw more anti-fossil fuel actions from the Biden administration, including a Department of Justice “Climate Action Plan” and a Department of Energy determination to ramp up regulations that would direct buildings away from using fossil fuel energy sources. By September, the national average for gas had reached $3.176.

The Biden administration continued through the fall to rescind or revoke President Trump’s actions and policies that had incentivized American energy and promoted safe, clean drilling and production to make the United States an energy-independent country. More “climate action plans” from federal agencies were released that further regulated and disincentivized reliable American energy. The Biden administration went after financial institutions to urge them not to do business with fossil fuel companies, required federal properties and contractors to move away from oil and gas, and went all-in on falsely-named “green” energy instead.

Joe Biden Now Says He Was Not Calling for Regime Change in Russia; White House Walking Back Biden’s Remarks on Removing Putin From Power Doesn’t Quiet the Chatter

By Breitbart. President Joe Biden said Sunday he was not calling for Russian President Vladimir Putin to be removed from office, in a speech he delivered Saturday in Poland.

Back in the United States, reporters shouted a question to the president about his speech as he attended church Sunday evening in Washington, DC.

“Mr. President, do you want Putin removed? Mr. President, were you calling for regime change?” a reporter shouted.

“No,” Biden replied before entering his presidential limousine and motorcading back to the White House.

The president’s response is the first time he personally addressed his comment that shocked the world after he said Russian President Vladimir “cannot remain in power.” (Read more from “Joe Biden Now Says He Was Not Calling for Regime Change in Russia” HERE)

White House Walking Back Biden’s Remarks on Removing Putin From Power Doesn’t Quiet the Chatter

By Townhall. After President Joe Biden during his Saturday speech in Warsaw called for removing Russia’s Vladimir Putin from power, the White House has since walked back the president’s remarks. “For God’s sake, this man cannot remain in power,” Biden had said. These remarks came even after the White House, in the form of remarks from both White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki and Secretary of State Antony Blinken had earlier this month that it was not the administration’s position to support regime change.

Shortly after the speech, Wall Street Journal reporter Tarini Parti tweeted back a response from the White House. The response in part claimed that Biden “was not discussing Putin’s power in Russia, or regime change,” even Biden himself had clearly said “this man cannot remain in power,” referring to Putin.

In case there’s any question, Putin heard Biden’s calls for regime change, as Marisa Schultz reported for Fox News, citing Rebekah Koffler, a Russian-born former Defense Intelligence Agency officer, who said “Putin heard loud and clear a call for regime change.”

Tellingly, this line wasn’t even planned, and came as a surprise to more than those just following along on Twitter. Ed Wheelan highlighted as much at length in a Twitter thread, as he too raised concerns about the potential ramifications for Biden’s remarks.

‘We Should Not Escalate’: French President Complains After Biden Calls Putin a ‘Butcher’ (VIDEO)

French President Emmanuel Macron lamented President Joe Biden’s choice of words during an interview, arguing that it could be escalatory to call Russian President Vladimir Putin out directly over multiple reports of war crimes in Ukraine.

Reporting site Visegrad 24 tweeted video of Macron along with the caption, “Macron is criticizing Biden for calling Putin ‘a butcher.’ The French president says it’s not constructive. ‘I would not use that kind of language. If a ceasefire is to be brokered, we must not escalate — neither through words nor actions.’”

Macron appeared to be suggesting that it was more important to keep an open dialogue with Putin than to be forthright about the actions he has either permitted or expressly ordered as his occupation forces continue their invasion of Ukraine.

“Macron warned against calling Putin a ‘butcher.’ ‘I wouldn’t use terms like that because I’m still in talks with President Putin,’ the French President said during an interview. Prior, U.S. President Joe Biden called Putin a ‘butcher,’ a ‘murderous dictator’ & ‘a pure thug,’” the Kyiv Independent reported.

Biden Approval Rating Tumbles to Lowest of Presidency: Poll

President Biden’s job-approval rating has plummeted to the lowest of his White House tenure — and seven in 10 Americans lack confidence in the commander-in-chief’s ability to handle the Russian invasion of Ukraine, a survey released Sunday found. ​

The number of Americans who approve of Biden’s actions since he took the helm of the country in January 2021 has fallen to 40% – the lowest of his presidency and a dramatic 13 percentage-point drop from April 2021, the NBC News poll shows.

The poll was conducted between March 18 and 22, before Biden left for his trip to Europe, where he met with allies, visited US troops in Poland and declared that Russian leader Vladimir Putin “cannot remain in power.”

The survey indicates that Americans don’t have faith in his leadership amid the Ukraine crisis, with 71% saying they have “just some” or “very little” confidence in Biden’s ability to respond to the war — including 43% of Democrats.

An overwhelming number of Americans — 82% — also say they are concerned that the war will ultimately result in the use of nuclear weapons, 74% fear US troops will end up fighting in Ukraine, and 83% worry the war will continue to cause price hikes for gasoline and other goods and services.

Reports: Joe Biden’s Call for Regime Change in Russia Not Part of Prepared Speech

The White House confirmed Sunday that President Joe Biden’s call for regime change was not part of his prepared speech.

“For God’s sake, this man cannot remain in power,” Biden said at the conclusion of his speech, referring to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Biden’s quip prompted administration officials to scramble and walk back his comment in an effort to reassure the world that the United States was not calling for regime change in Russia.

Axios cites “a top official” who confirmed the line was not on Biden’s prepared text or on his teleprompter. The Washington Post cited “a person familiar with the speech” who also said Biden’s line was not planned.

During the 2020 presidential campaign, Biden repeatedly campaigned on the idea that he would be a better president than President Donald Trump because of his understanding of the gravity of the presidency.

Did Biden Just Say He’s Sending US Troops to Ukraine?

During a visit to Rzeszów, Poland Friday afternoon, President Joe Biden told members of the 82nd Airborne Division they would soon see the destruction inflicted on Ukraine by Russia — first hand.

“You know, with the Ukrainian people, Ukrainian people have a lot of backbone. They have a lot of guts. And I’m sure you’re observing it. And I don’t mean just their military, which is, we’ve been training since back when they, Russia moved into the, in the southeast, southeast Ukraine, but also the average citizen. Look at how they’re stepping up. Look at how they’re stepping up,” Biden said. “And you’re going to see when you’re there. And you, some, some of you have been there. You’re going to see, you’re going to see women, young people standing, standing the middle of, in front of a damn tank, just saying, ‘I’m not leaving. I’m holding my ground.’”

Up until now, Biden has been adamant that while U.S. troops will defend “every inch of NATO,” they will not be deployed to Ukraine.
