White House Forced Into Clean up Duty After Biden Calls Critical Ally ‘Xenophobic’

/0 Comments/in , /by

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was forced to clean up for President Joe Biden after he called a critical ally of the United States “xenophobic” during a Wednesday campaign event.

While appearing at a campaign event in Washington, D.C., Biden said that countries such as China, Japan and Russia are struggling economically because they are “xenophobic.” Jean-Pierre fielded multiple questions from reporters on Thursday who pressed the press secretary on the meaning and cause of the president’s remarks.

“The word ‘xenophobic’ is a very pejorative and negative word, particularly to use against an ally. Is that what [Biden] meant?” a reporter asked.

“Look, he, I think he was — look, the president was very clear. I think that —” Jean Pierre began.

“He wasn’t very clear. That is why we are asking you,” the reporter interjected. (Read more from “White House Forced Into Clean up Duty After Biden Calls Critical Ally ‘Xenophobic’” HERE)

Pro-Palestinian protesters and counter-protesters at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa united to show their displeasure with President Joe Biden.

Video footage posted to X showed protesters on both sides chanting, “F*ck Joe Biden.”

In response to the anti-Israel protests, the University of Alabama provided a list of rules that specified that free speech, free expression, and holding signs were allowed.

Things that were not allowed were, “firearms or other dangerous weapons,” and “no overnight camping, temporary shelters, or tents.” (Read more from “‘F**k Joe Biden’ Chant Unites Pro-Palestinian and Counter-Protesters” HERE)

RFK Jr. Offers Biden Wacky ‘No Spoiler’ Deal in Desperate Bid to Battle Trump for White House

/2 Comments/in , , /by

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. needled President Biden Wednesday, offering a zany “no spoiler” agreement that whichever of the two candidates is least likely to defeat Donald Trump drops out of the race in October.

During a news conference in Brooklyn, the 70-year-old RFK Jr. proposed that he and Biden co-fund a 50-state poll of at least 30,000 likely voters to determine which candidate is the true “spoiler” who would ensure a victory for the 45th president by continuing to campaign.

“Ultimately, I think what we all want in this election is [for] Americans not to feel like they have to vote out of fear,” Kennedy told reporters. “That they feel like they can vote out of hope. And that is only going to happen if there’s a two-way race between me and President Trump or me and President Biden.”

The poll would measure the likelihood both of Kennedy defeating Trump, 77, in a head-to-head race and Biden, 81, repeating his 2020 victory over his Republican rival.

The Democratic National Committee quickly pooh-poohed the proposal from Kennedy, claiming he was there as a Trump ally. (Read more from “RFK Jr. Offers Biden Wacky ‘No Spoiler’ Deal in Desperate Bid to Battle Trump for White House” HERE)

Testifying in front of the House Judiciary Committee and its Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government Wednesday, former White House official Rob Flaherty was asked to explain the tenets of First Amendment. He couldn’t do it.

The Biden Administration’s Latest Move Will Certainly Increase Tensions With Israel

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Biden administration took an unprecedented step this afternoon: they accused the Israeli military of human rights violations. It’s no secret that Joe Biden doesn’t want Israel to defeat Hamas. It will create a domestic headache for him at home, as the Democratic Party base has become increasingly hostile to Israel. Rafah is the last remaining Hamas bastion in Gaza; Israel is going to take it. The longer this war continues, the more incensed young voters, whom Biden cannot lose, become at Israel and the Biden White House. Also, these incidents within the IDF were all allegedly committed before October 7 (via Fox News):

The U.S. found five units of the Israel Defense Forces responsible “for individual incidents of gross violations of human rights,” the State Department announced on Monday – though whether funding to the American ally could be cut over such abuses under the so-called “Leahy Laws” still hangs in the balance.

At a press briefing, State Department principal deputy spokesman Vedant Patel told reporters that the human rights violations happened all before the Oct. 7 attacks by Hamas militants on southern Israel and none happened in Gaza. Four of the units have “effectively remediated,” he said, while the U.S. continues “in consultations and engagements with the government of Israel” on the remaining unit.

“They have submitted additional information as it pertains to that unit. And we’re continuing to have those conversations consistent with the memorandum of understanding that we have with the government of Israel that was entered into in 2021,” he said. “When conclusions are made under actions that fall under the auspices of the Foreign Assistance Act, we are required to consult with officials from the government of Israel, and that is ongoing. We are engaging with them in a process, and we will make an ultimate decision when it comes to that unit when that process is complete.”

States Reject Biden’s ‘Illegal’ and ‘Unconstitutional’ Title IX Rewrite

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Florida and Oklahoma have instructed their schools to reject implementation of new Title IX rules proposed by the Biden administration that allow males “identifying” as females to invade women’s spaces.

“We are not going to let Joe Biden try to inject men into women’s activities,” Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said in a Thursday video statement. “We will not comply.”

As my colleague Jordan Boyd previously reported, the new guidelines released by the Education Department last week “effectively erase protections for sex-based spaces by expanding the Title IX prohibition against sex discrimination to include ‘gender identity’ — a term that’s never mentioned in the original law.” This means that men proclaiming to be women will be permitted to use female-only spaces such as locker rooms and sororities and participate in female-only sports leagues.

The rules — which are set to take effect on Aug. 1 — also repeal existing free speech protections, parental rights, and safeguards for individuals accused of sexual assault.

DeSantis’ comments came a day after Florida Commissioner on Education Manny Diaz Jr. penned a letter stating that “no educational institution [in the state] should begin implementing any changes” to Title IX put forward by the Biden administration. Diaz argued that the federal government’s reimagining of the law is an “attempt to gaslight the country into believing that biological sex no longer has any meaning.” (Read more from “States Reject Biden’s ‘Illegal’ and ‘Unconstitutional’ Title IX Rewrite” HERE)

House GOP Raises Alarm Over Biden Family’s Alleged Business With Qatari Officials

/0 Comments/in , /by

A new report alleging President Joe Biden‘s younger brother, James Biden, was in business with Qatari officials gave House Republicans fresh ammunition to warn the public about the first family being ensnared in foreign entanglements.

House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY), who is leading the corruption-focused impeachment inquiry into President Biden, responded to the report from POLITICO on Sunday with a post to X that began with a siren emoji. . .

The POLITICO report centers on testimony by fund manager Michael Lewitt in a Kentucky bankruptcy court indicating that James Biden partnered with Qatari government officials to secure money for healthcare ventures.was It noted that Lewitt is a former business partner of James Biden and is likely to face questions about the alleged Qatari ties during a planned interview for the impeachment inquiry. The report said neither a representative for James Biden nor the Qatari Embassy responded to requests for comment.

James Biden has already given testimony for the House impeachment inquiry. He denied that President Biden had any involvement in his business activities and rejected a previous POLITICO report that said he invoked his brother’s name to promote a hospital chain that collapsed. In addition, as reported by The Daily Wire, notes revealed during the deposition showed James Biden told the Internal Revenue Service that Hunter Biden, the president’s son, told him he was in business with a “protege” of Chinese leader Xi Jinping.

Joe Wishes He Could’ve Met Trump ‘Head to Head’ ‘In the Neighborhood’ (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden suggested Friday he would have liked to fight former President Donald Trump when they were children, echoing similar rhetoric he has used, fantasizing about a physical confrontation with his rival.

During an appearance on Sirius XM’s Howard Stern Show on Friday, Stern and Biden were discussing Biden’s stuttering difficulties as a child when he said he would have liked to meet Trump “head to head” “in the neighborhood.”

“But by that time, I was over most of the stuttering, but like, for example, you know, I mean, Trump makes fun of me,” Biden said. “Here’s the kind of guy in the neighborhood you wish you could have gotten in the neighborhood and meet head to head.”

The shock jock and president then pivoted to the “first fistfight” the president had.

Biden DOJ Says Droning American Citizens Is Totally Fine Because Obama’s DOJ Said So

/0 Comments/in , /by

Biden’s Department of Justice (DOJ) argued Thursday before the Supreme Court that droning American citizens is permissible because Obama’s DOJ said so, whereas questioning election results isn’t OK because the government also says so.

The Supreme Court heard arguments on the scope of presidential immunity after special counsel Jack Smith alleged that former President Donald Trump should be tossed in jail for questioning the administration of the 2020 election.

Justice Brett Kavanaugh posed a series of hypotheticals to DOJ attorney Michael Dreeben about the scope of presidential authority, asking whether Gerald Ford’s pardon of Richard Nixon in 1976 could have been investigated for obstruction of justice “on the theory that [Ford was] interfering with the investigation of Richard Nixon.” . . .

“How about President Obama’s drone strikes?” Kavanaugh asked.

“So the Office of Legal Counsel looked at this very carefully and determined that, number one, the federal murder statute does apply to the executive branch,” Dreeben said. “The president wasn’t personally carrying out the strike, but the aiding and abetting laws are broad, and it determined that a public authority exception that’s built into statutes and that applied particularly to the murder statute, because it talks about unlawful killing, did not apply to the drone strike.” (Read more from “Biden DOJ Says Droning American Citizens Is Totally Fine Because Obama’s DOJ Said So” HERE)

Report: Biden Backtracks on Menthol Cigarette Ban Due to Concerns of Angering Black Voters

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden has reportedly canceled a plan to ban menthol cigarettes after his administration feared that banning them could cause black voters to revolt against the president ahead of the upcoming election.

The Wall Street Journal reported that menthols account for roughly a third of all cigarette sales in the U.S. and that black people are overwhelmingly the largest consumers of the product.

Activist groups believe that by banning menthol cigarettes, there will be an explosion in black market sales of the product, which they claim will lead to racial profiling by law enforcement.

“This rule has garnered historic attention and the public comment period has yielded an immense amount of feedback, including from various elements of the civil rights and criminal justice movement,” said Xavier Becerra, secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services. “It’s clear that there are still more conversations to have, and that will take significantly more time.”

The Journal reported that the administration pulled back on its plan as it considered the “political repercussions” of banning the product as Biden is significantly “underperforming with Black voters, especially Black men.” (Read more from “Report: Biden Backtracks on Menthol Cigarette Ban Due to Concerns of Angering Black Voters” HERE)
