Poll: Strong Majority Now Think Joe Biden Is Mentally Unfit to Serve

/0 Comments/in , /by

A strong majority of adults in the United States believe President Joe Biden is mentally unfit to serve as commander in chief, according to a recent Washington Post/ABC News poll.

The poll, which was released only days before the president is slated to give the State of the Union address, showed a majority believe Biden is unfit to serve as president while also revealing the lowest job approval rating (37 percent) from the Washington Post/ABC News poll since becoming president just over a year ago.

The recent poll revealed that the “underlying weakness” is to the degree that most adults “have doubts about his personal capacities.” When the respondents were asked if he was a strong leader, 59 percent said no, while 36 percent said yes. In fact, those percentages resemble his job approval; 37 percent approve and 55 percent disapprove. (Read more from “Poll: Strong Majority Now Think Joe Biden Is Mentally Unfit to Serve” HERE)

DOJ Shutting Down China-Focused Anti-Espionage Program Due Racism Concerns

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Biden administration is shutting down a Justice Department program that focused on countering Chinese espionage, following stumbles in a series of criminal cases and accusations that it amounted to racial profiling.

Officials said Wednesday that the three-year-old effort, known as the China Initiative, was being cast aside largely because of perceptions that it unfairly painted Chinese Americans and U.S. residents of Chinese origin as disloyal.

“By grouping cases under the China Initiative rubric, we helped give rise to a harmful perception that the department applies a lower standard to investigate and prosecute criminal conduct related to that country or that we in some way view people with racial, ethnic or familial ties to China differently,” Assistant Attorney General for National Security Matthew Olsen said in remarks prepared for delivery at George Mason University in Virginia.

However, Justice’s top national security official insisted that the decision amounted to a reframing and recalibration — not an abandonment — of a muscular law enforcement response to the national security threat posed by the People’s Republic of China.

Huh? Biden Sanctions Russia — But Not Vladimir Putin or Russian Oil

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden announced Thursday he would level economic sanctions on Russia for invading Ukraine, but not on Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“For weeks, we have been warning that this would happen, and now, it’s unfolding largely as we predicted,” Biden said during a speech at the White House. . .

Biden’s administration finally leveled sanctions on Russian banks after over a month of threatening severe economic pain if he attacked Ukraine. But the president admitted he did not expect Putin to change his mind soon as a result.

“It’s not going to occur — he’s going to say ‘oh my god, these sanctions are coming, I’m going to stand down,’” Biden continued.

The Biden administration also indicated earlier Thursday they would not sanction Russian oil, at a time when prices were already high. (Read more from “Huh? Biden Sanctions Russia — But Not Vladimir Putin or Russian Oil” HERE)

Senate-Confirmed Biden Nominee Isn’t Even Eligible for Job

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Any decision made by President Joe Biden’s Senate-confirmed nominee to lead the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service could be null and void because she doesn’t meet key requirements to hold the post, multiple conservationists and legal experts told the Washington Examiner.

Two conservationists told the Washington Examiner they warned the 20 members of the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works in late 2021 that the nominee, Martha Williams, lacks a “scientific education” in a relevant field, a requirement Congress codified into law during the Nixon administration. Despite the warnings, the committee voted 16-4 in January to advance Williams’s nomination to lead the Fish and Wildlife Service, and the Senate confirmed her nomination by voice vote on Thursday.

“No individual may be appointed as the Director unless he is, by reason of scientific education and experience, knowledgeable in the principles of fisheries and wildlife management,” the law reads. Experts say the word “and,” as opposed to “or,” is crucial and mandates a nominee have knowledge derived from both experience and education.

Williams, who earned a law degree from the University of Montana in 1994 after graduating from the University of Virginia with a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy, “flatly violates” the statutory requirement to lead the agency she was just confirmed to lead, said Robert Aland, a retired attorney-turned-grizzly bear activist.

“I’m not a biologist, but I’ve spent my career translating science to decision-makers and courts,” Williams said in 2017. (Read more from “Senate-Confirmed Biden Nominee Isn’t Even Eligible for Job” HERE)

Russia Announces ‘Special Military Operation’; Explosions in Ukraine; Putin Issues Stark Warning Against Western Intervention; Biden: ‘World Will Hold Russia Accountable’

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Breitbart. On Wednesday, a live report on “CNN Tonight” by CNN senior international correspondent Matthew Chance from Kyiv, Ukraine captured the sound of explosions in the distance.

Chance said, “This is the first time. This is the first time that we’ve heard anything. It’s been absolutely silent in this city throughout the course of tonight, and for the past several weeks, we’ve not seen anything at all. In fact, I’ve never heard anything like this in Kyiv for the years that I’ve been coming here and reporting from here. So, this is the first time.” (Read more from “Russia Announces ‘Special Military Operation’; Explosions in Ukraine” HERE)

Reports of Explosions in Key Cities, Putin Issues Stark Warning Against Western Intervention

By Daily Caller. Russian President Vladimir Putin announced early Thursday morning in Russia that he had decided to conduct “a special military operation in Donbas.” Minutes later, reports rang out of explosions in Kyiv, the capitol of Ukraine, and the Ukrainian interior minister announced that “the invasion has begun.”

Putin, speaking around 5:30 a.m. local time, called on Ukraine to “lay down its arms” and said his goal is not to occupy Ukraine, but to “demilitarize and de-Nazify” the country. The Russian president also warned against interference – presumably speaking to NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) and the U.S. – promising that “Russia’s response will be immediate and will lead you to such consequences as you have never before experienced in your history.”

“We are ready for all outcomes. All decisions have been made,” Putin added, according to a translation of his remarks. (Read more from “Reports of Explosions in Key Cities, Putin Issues Stark Warning Against Western Intervention” HERE)

Biden Says ‘World Will Hold Russia Accountable’ Over Ukraine Attack

By Breitbart. US President Joe Biden on Wednesday said the “world will hold Russia accountable” over a military onslaught against Ukraine that he warned will cause “catastrophic loss of life.”

In a statement issued shortly after Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the start of military operations in Ukraine, Biden said he would address the US public Thursday to outline the “consequences” for Russia, calling the attack “unprovoked and unjustified.”

Biden also held a phone call with his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky soon after explosions were heard in multiple parts of the country, which is sandwiched between Russia and NATO member Poland, the White House said.

The US president was due to join a virtual, closed-door meeting of G7 leaders — Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and the United States — at 9:00 am (1400 GMT) Thursday. The White House said his remarks to the nation would come in the early afternoon in Washington.

The G7 meeting is likely to result in more sanctions against Russia, which has long claimed it would not invade Ukraine, despite putting a huge force of tens of thousands of soldiers and heavy weaponry on the country’s borders, while insisting that the Ukrainian government abandon its pro-Western ambitions.

Lawmakers React to Russian Invasion of Ukraine, Call For More Sanctions

/0 Comments/in , /by

Members of Congress from both parties called on President Joe Biden to sanction Russia and President Vladimir Putin for his invasion of Ukraine early Thursday morning.

Putin announced around 5:30 a.m. local time that his troops would conduct a military operation limited to the Donbas region, but Russian forces began a bombing operation against capital Kyiv and other major cities, according to Senate Intelligence Committee vice chairman Sen. Marco Rubio.

Republican Tennessee Sen. Marsha Blackburn called on the Biden administration to remove Russian banks from the SWIFT system, which allows 11,000 banks in over 200 countries to conduct financial transactions. Although the Biden administration considered removing Russian banks from SWIFT as part of its initial sanctions package, it did not ultimately do so.

“Putin’s impunity predictably follows our tepid response to his previous horrors in Georgia and Crimea, our naive efforts at a one-sided ‘reset,’ and the shortsightedness of ‘America First,’” Republican Utah Sen. Mitt Romney said. (Read more from “Lawmakers React to Russian Invasion of Ukraine, Call For More Sanctions” HERE)

Big Joey Sanctions Vlad: POTUS Promises ’Costs’ for Americans

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden announced a series of sanctions on Thursday in reaction to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s actions in Ukraine, warning of the economic costs Americans would bear as a result.

“Defending freedom will have costs, for us as well, and here at home,” he said during a speech at the White House. “We need to be honest about that.”

The president specifically warned of higher gas prices as a result of the sanctions but promised he would use “every tool” possible to reduce gas and energy prices.

“I want to limit the pain the American people are feeling at the gas pump,” he said.

Biden indicated Tuesday afternoon that Russian President Vladimir Putin had triggered the “first tranche” of sanctions after he “undeniably moved against Ukraine.” (Read more from “Big Joey Sanctions Vlad: POTUS Promises ’Costs’ for Americans” HERE)

‘Are You Guys Out of Your F**King Mind?’: Joe Rogan Says Biden ‘Can’t Talk Right’ Anymore

/0 Comments/in , /by

Joe Rogan said he didn’t vote for Joe Biden in 2020 and that the former vice president is “basically a shell” cognitively and “can’t talk right anymore.”

During “The Joe Rogan Experience” podcast Monday, the host and his guest Coleman Hughes were discussing whether it’s better for a president to have political experience or not as he revealed he didn’t “vote for either” Donald Trump or Biden. The comments start at the 99:56 minute mark.

“He’s [Biden] not a good example, because he’s basically a shell, you know, cognitively,” Rogan shared. “And the fact that that took a long time for people to admit. That was one of the things that people were saying that I was a Trump supporter during the election because I said I would vote for Trump before I would vote for Biden.”

“But I didn’t vote for either,” he added. “The reason why I said that was like, ‘You don’t see this? Are you guys out of your f**king mind? You guys don’t see that this guy can’t, he can’t talk right anymore?’ Go watch videos of him from twenty years ago. He was a dummy, he said a lot of silly s**t, he lied about a bunch of things, but at least he was articulate.” (Read more from “‘Are You Guys Out of Your F**King Mind?’: Joe Rogan Says Biden ‘Can’t Talk Right’ Anymore” HERE)

2-Year-Old Biden Tweet Comes Back To Bite Him

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A two-year-old tweet from then-presidential nominee Joe Biden claiming Russian President Vladimir Putin was scared of him has come back to bite him two years to the date as Russia invades parts of Ukraine.

Biden tweeted on Feb. 21, 2020 that Putin “doesn’t want me to be President.”

“He doesn’t want me to be our nominee. If you’re wondering why — it’s because I’m the only person in this field who’s ever gone toe-to-toe with him.”

Exactly two years later, Putin recognized the independence of two Ukrainian regions. CBS News tweeted the move signaled Putin is “no longer interested in negotiating with the West to find a diplomatic resolution.” (Read more from “2-Year-Old Biden Tweet Comes Back to Bite Him” HERE)

Joe Biden Allows Vladimir Putin to Send More Russian Troops Into Ukraine Without Triggering Sanctions

/0 Comments/in , /by

Russian President Vladimir Putin’s decision to send more troops into Ukraine would not trigger the sanctions prepared by the United States and European allies, the White House said Monday.

A White House official explained President Joe Biden’s position during a conference call with reporters Monday.

Biden officials reacted anonymously to Putin’s decision to send Russian troops into Ukraine’s Donestsk and Luhansk regions for “peacekeeping” after the two territories declared independence from Ukraine.

“Russian troops moving into Donbas would not itself be a new step,” the official noted during the call. “Russia has had forces in the Donbas region for the past eight years.”

Putin’s political play puts Biden and his administration in a difficult spot, as they have repeatedly said that large numbers of troops crossing the Ukrainian border would be considered an invasion.
