KJP Refuses To Say Whether Biden Will Leave White House For His Private Residence During Hurricane Landfall

/1 Comment/in , /by

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre refused Wednesday to answer whether President Joe Biden will remain at the White House or depart for his private residence during Hurricane Milton’s landfall.

Biden postponed his upcoming trip for Germany and Angola as Hurricane Milton, a Category 4 storm, is set to make landfall and potentially cause destruction in Florida. Jean-Pierre said the president does not currently have any travel plans for Florida and did not make it clear whether he intends to remain at the White House.

“Will [Biden] be here the whole time, probably, is it possible he will go to Delaware over the weekend, are you guys talking about a possible trip to Florida at some point already?” CNN senior White House correspondent MJ Lee asked.

“The president’s gonna continue to get hurricane briefings, not just on Milton, and how we’re preparing and what’s happening. He is going to be laser focused on that as well as the vice president,” Jean-Pierre said. “So he will continue to be updated, continue to get those briefings, I don’t have any travel to read out to you at this time, whether it is to the impacted areas or outside of that. What I can say is the president is going to continue to be laser focused on the storms and what’s happening, the preparations, how we are still certainly responding to the immediate needs of folks who have been impacted by Hurricane Helene as well. That is also very much in front of us and what we’re trying to do and get done there, but that’s gonna be his focus.” (Read more from “KJP Refuses To Say Whether Biden Will Leave White House For His Private Residence During Hurricane Landfall” HERE)

Harris Finally Takes Full Ownership of Every Disastrous Biden Policy

/3 Comments/in , /by

Democratic presidential nominee and Vice President Kamala Harris reaffirmed her alignment with President Joe Biden during an interview on Tuesday morning on “The View.”

Harris was asked whether she would have “done something differently than President Biden during the past four years.”

In her response, she ostensibly admitted that a Harris presidency would be no different from Biden’s.

“There is not a thing that comes to mind in terms of — and I’ve been a part of most of the decisions that have had impact,” she replied.

Wall Street Journal senior political correspondent Molly Ball reacted to Harris’ response, stating, “I’m surprised, frankly, that she doesn’t have more to say about this given that she and her campaign know that this is one of the main questions that voters have about her.” (Read more from “Harris Finally Takes Full Ownership of Every Disastrous Biden Policy” HERE)

‘Incredible’: President Joe Biden Accused of Trying to ‘Destroy’ Kamala Harris’s Campaign

/1 Comment/in , , /by

President Joe Biden (D) is being accused of trying to ruin Vice President Kamala Harris’s (D) campaign for the White House.

During a press conference Friday, a reporter asked Biden how Harris worked on recent crises in the nation and “what role she has played over the past several days,” according to video footage.

“I’m in constant contact with her,” Biden said. “She’s aware… we’re singing from the same song sheet. She helped pass all the laws that are being employed now. She was a major player in everything we’ve done, including passage of legislation in which we were told we could never pass.”

“Her staff is interlocked with mine in terms of all the things we’re doing,” Biden added. . .

Gang That Grew Out of Venezuelan Prisons Fueling U.S. Crime Wave

/0 Comments/in , /by

Two cops shot in New York City. A jogger beaten to death in Georgia. A Texas hotel taken over by armed criminals.

The common thread in a sprawling nationwide web of violence, according to law enforcement officials, is a ruthless Venezuelan prison gang exporting its drug-weapon-human-trafficking operations north to U.S. cities.

But the gang’s leaders have largely eluded any effort to bring them to justice in the U.S., according to analysts who have studied Tren de Aragua, or TDA, as the gang is commonly known.

TDA’s secretive hierarchy has helped its crime bosses stay steps ahead of U.S. authorities, said Gregg Etter, a University of Central Missouri criminologist who has written extensively about the gang.

More than 150 TDA members have been arrested at the border, and dozens more inside the U.S., the past two years. But thanks to the group’s decentralized chain of command, police are mainly capturing low-level gang members, Mr. Etter told The Washington Times.

Biden Says U.S. Discussing Possible Israeli Strikes on Iran Oil Facilities

/4 Comments/in , /by

Joe Biden has said the US is discussing with Israel the possibility of Israeli strikes on Iran’s oil infrastructure.

When asked if he would support such strikes, Mr Biden said: “We’re discussing that. I think that would be a little… anyway.”

His off-the-cuff remarks, made as he left the White House, did not make clear Washington’s stance. Mr Biden has previously said he would not support Israeli strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities.

The price of benchmark Brent crude oil shot up by 5% immediately after the remarks. It has now increased by 10% since Iran’s large-scale missile attack on Israel on Tuesday.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Iran “will pay a heavy price” for Tuesday’s attack, which saw at least 180 ballistic missiles fired at Israel. (Read more from “Biden Says U.S. Discussing Possible Israeli Strikes on Iran Oil Facilities” HERE)

White House Reporters Audibly Shocked at Sight of Joe Biden in White House Briefing Room

/1 Comment/in , /by

Reporters in the White House press briefing were audibly shocked when President Joe Biden entered the room Friday to take questions for the first time in his administration.

Biden paid a surprise visit to the James S. Brady Press Briefing Room to give remarks about the latest jobs report and take several questions for about 15 minutes. Reporters gasped when the president entered the room for the first time in his presidency alongside White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre.

When Biden began his fourth year in office, he was averaging the lowest number of press conferences per year, 11, since former President Ronald Reagan, according to data compiled by the University of California at Santa Barbara’s American Presidency Project. As of Feb. 2024, Biden had participated in fewer interviews with media outlets than his predecessors, only doing 86 interviews since his inauguration in 2021, according to NBC News.

The president appeared in the briefing room after an early morning report from Axios that the president has had no public events scheduled on 43 of the 75 days since he ended his 2024 campaign. Of the public events the president did participate in, only two were scheduled before 11 a.m., zero before 10 a.m. and five after 5 p.m., the Axios analysis shows. The president has also taken all calls and meetings with world leaders, except for one instance, between the hours of 11 a.m. and 5 p.m since leaving the race, Axios reported.

WATCH: News Host Goes Scorched Earth on Reporters for Not Asking Biden About Hurricane Victims During Briefing

/0 Comments/in , /by

Fox News host Sandra Smith criticized White House reporters Friday for not asking President Joe Biden questions about the victims of Hurricane Helene during a press briefing.

Over 200 people were killed by the hurricane, with people in North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia still struggling to recover from wind damage and flooding. Smith noted the conditions in the southeast and questioned why reporters failed to ask what the Biden administration was doing to alleviate the “absolute devastation” when the president appeared for the press briefing.

“It is still dire circumstances there, and Mike, worth pointing out when that White House press briefing was happening, what the opportunity was that those journalists had to ask questions of the president, I didn’t any hear questions about the storm damage or the relief efforts. There are people who are still stranded in their homes right now,” Smith said.

In the Days After Hurricane Helene, Not One of the Biden-Harris Cabinet Visited

/0 Comments/in , /by

The death toll for Hurricane Helene has reached more than 160 and hundreds of Americans are still unaccounted for, as massive swaths of the American South are reeling from the natural disaster. The Dossier has found that not a single Biden-Harris administration cabinet official is on the ground in disaster areas, and none have expressed an intention to visit the sites most impacted by the hurricane.

President Biden spent Friday to Sunday at the beach in Delaware, according to his public schedule. On Monday, he was at the White House to celebrate the U.S. Olympic team.

When asked what he’s doing to help with the Helene response, Biden said he “was on the phone for two hours yesterday” while he was in reality just sitting on the beach in Delaware.

Vice President Kamala Harris spent the weekend campaigning and raising money on the West Coast, hosting high-dollar fundraisers and rallies in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Las Vegas.

After some blowback, her team released a “Veep”-like PR photo Monday on X, showcasing Harris on her plane (with unplugged headphones and blank pieces of paper in front of her), cosplaying a leader who is managing the Helene response.

Report: Biden-Harris in Contact With Iran Over ‘Scope’ of Attack on Israel

/0 Comments/in , /by

Following Iran’s missile attack on Israel, a move that clearly vastly destabilized the Middle East and could even end up as the trigger for a World War III, a stunning report was released that suggested Joe Biden and Kamala Harris knew more about it than would have been expected.

In fact, the report from Caroline Glick of JNS said, “CH 14 reported that the U.S. and Iran are negotiating the scope of the strike so that the U.S. will be able to compel Israel not to retaliate.”

“Get it? The Biden-Harris administration is reportedly telling a U.S. enemy what level of assault against a U.S. ally is acceptable.”

Iran, of course, repeatedly has threatened to wipe Israel off the face of the earth, and has publicly stated its nuclear program is for that purpose.

Iran’s attack included hundreds of missiles launched against Israel, some of which were intercepted and some of which were not. Also dispatched were several gunmen to murder six people in a Jaffa train station, gunmen that Israel soon announced were “neutralized.”

Dana Carvey Makes a Brilliant, Doddering Joe Biden on ‘Saturday Night Live’ Premiere (VIDEO)

/2 Comments/in , , /by

For the first time ever, “Live from New York, it’s ‘Saturday Night’!” made me tear up a little. . .

[I]t was a big and brilliant move to bring back “SNL” legend Carvey as a doddering President Joe Biden. I squealed when he took the stage.

After so many lame attempts to capture the essence of the cuckoo prez — Jason Sudeikis, Woody Harrelson, Jim Carrey, Mikey Day — the excellent Carvey finally batted it out of the park.

“A lot of people forget I’m president,” he said next to Rudolph’s Kamala Harris. “Including me!” . . .

He confusedly wandered offstage, creepily sniffed Kamala’s hair and inexplicably whispered “The. Rich. Don’t. Pay. Their. Fair. Share.”

[Editor’s note: the clip featuring Biden begins at about 10:30]
