Biden to Force Jewish-Made Products From Israel to Be Labeled: Report

President Joe Biden is reportedly preparing to force Jewish made products from Judea and Samaria to be clearly labeled so consumers know where the products are from — a clear sign that the administration wants to enable boycotts.

The Financial Times reported that the timing of the new policy is unknown at this point and that it is designed to “increase pressure on Israel” over what Palestinians claim is violence from Israelis who live in Judea and Samaria.

The report said that the move from the administration would reverse a policy enacted by President Donald Trump that required goods made in Judea and Samaria to be labeled as “Made in Israel.”

The Biden administration late last month refused to block a U.N. resolution calling for a ceasefire in Israel’s war against the Hamas terrorists who murdered 1,200 people on October 7. Thousands more were injured and hundreds were taken hostage, including many Americans.

Many expressed outrage over the move from Biden, noting that it was close to a full-on endorsement of the global anti-Semitic Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions campaign to that was created to destroy the state of Israel.

99 Cents Only Stores Closing All Locations, Cites Inflation

All 371 locations of the 99 Cents Only stores are shutting down, with company executives blaming the “difficult” decision on such causes as “inflationary pressures.”

The company, which opened its first location in 1982, boasts of having the “lowest price guaranteed” on its website. That claim is soon to be no more, with the operators announcing Thursday that liquidation sales will begin Friday.

An official press release said an “orderly wind-down of its business operations” is starting after entering a plea agreement with Hilco Global “to, among other things, liquidate all merchandise owned by the Company and dispose of certain fixtures, furnishings, and equipment at the Company’s stores.”

The hundreds of stores will begin selling all of their remaining items and equipment before the real estate itself is sold by Hilco Real Estate.

The company’s locations span across Arizona, California, Nevada, and Texas. (Read more from “99 Cents Only Stores Closing All Locations, Cites Inflation” HERE)

Biden Moves to Block Trump, Future Presidents From Firing Deep State Bureaucrats

President Biden finalized new civil service protections on Thursday aimed at preventing the sort of bureaucratic housecleaning that former President Donald Trump plans, should he win reelection.

At stake are potentially tens of thousands of policymaking jobs across the government and the ability to have them follow the president’s direction or face firing.

That has become a top goal of Republicans after the deep state thwarted or watered down many of Mr. Trump’s initiatives. It also has become a chief fear of Democrats.

Mr. Biden said his rules would insulate employees from such political pressure by making it tougher to reclassify their jobs and then fire them.

“Day in and day out, career civil servants provide the expertise and continuity necessary for our democracy to function,” Mr. Biden said. “This rule is a step toward combatting corruption and partisan interference to ensure civil servants are able to focus on the most important task at hand: delivering for the American people.” (Read more from “Biden Moves to Block Trump, Future Presidents From Firing Deep State Bureaucrats” HERE)

Biden FDA to Drop Ban on Sperm Donations From Gay and Bisexual Men

The FDA is set to axe its ban on gay and bisexual men donating sperm, it has been revealed.

Under the current rule, men who have had sex with men within the last five years are blocked from anonymously donating sperm amid fears of HIV infection.

But the agency is now seeking to scrap the blanket ban, and replace it with screening questions that assess a donor’s risk of carrying HIV or other infections. . .

The Wall Street Journal revealed the news, and said the FDA was planning to finalize its proposal by the summer. If approved by the White House, it could go into effect before the end of this year. . .

The shift comes the year after the FDA permitted gay and bisexual men to give blood – after a long ban due to concerns about HIV. (Read more from “Biden FDA to Drop Ban on Sperm Donations From Gay and Bisexual Men” HERE)

Look Who Wants Jail for Woman Who Found Ashley Biden’s Perverted Diary

The Joe Biden Department of Justice is demanding jail time for another defendant who was caught up a Biden family scandal – that of diary revelations about Joe Biden “showering” with his young daughter, in a “probably not appropriate” scenario.

It’s just one of the many scandals embroiling the Biden family, from a scheme to peddle influence to foreign enemies to a failure to pay taxes to an apparent lie on a federal form required to purchase a handgun. . .

Now a report in Twitchy reveals Joe Biden’s DOJ is sounding off in a case against a woman who took a diary that once belonged to Biden daughter Ashley.

The diary, which the Biden administration purported was a fake for a long time, includes Ashley’s references to being “sexualized” at a young age and showering with her father, Joe Biden, at the time. The diary expresses those actions as “probably not appropriate.”

The Twitchy report openly challenges the Biden family stories on the topic, with, “Wait, we thought it wasn’t real: DOJ wants prison time for woman who ‘stole’ Ashley Biden’s diary.”

Biden Demands Israel Enact ‘Immediate Ceasefire’ Against Hamas Terrorists; Blames Israel For Hostages Not Being Freed

President Joe Biden, in a call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, demanded that Israel enact an “immediate ceasefire” in its war against Hamas and threatened that the U.S. would change its support for Israel if it does not meet the administration’s demands.

Biden attacked Israel for the humanitarian situation inside Gaza, calling it “unacceptable,” even though Israel has worked to allow aid to flow into the area, but has had to do so in a manner that prevents weapons from entering.

“[Biden] made clear the need for Israel to announce and implement a series of specific, concrete, and measurable steps to address civilian harm, humanitarian suffering, and the safety of aid workers,” the White House said in a readout of the call. “He made clear that U.S. policy with respect to Gaza will be determined by our assessment of Israel’s immediate action on these steps.”

“He underscored that an immediate ceasefire is essential to stabilize and improve the humanitarian situation and protect innocent civilians, and he urged the Prime Minister to empower his negotiators to conclude a deal without delay to bring the hostages home,” the statement continued.

Biden Slammed by Democrats and Republicans Over Response to Israeli Airstrike That Killed 7 Aid Workers in Gaza

President Biden has received criticism from Democrats and Republicans this week over his response to an Israeli airstrike that killed seven World Central Kitchen aid workers in Gaza on Monday.

On Tuesday, Biden, 81, said he was “outraged and heartbroken” over the deaths of the aid workers delivering food to Gaza’s population, but didn’t signal any change in approach to his administration’s backing of Israel in its war against Hamas.

The president, in his public statement, pinned the blame squarely on Israel, demanding an investigation that “must bring accountability” and accusing the Jewish state of not having “done enough to protect aid workers” in the Palestinian territory.

Privately, Politico reports, Biden is “enraged” over the airstrike and was “angry” when he was notified that the Israel Defense Forces mistakenly targeted members of celebrity chef Jose Andres’ humanitarian group.

Jon Favreau, a one time speechwriter for former President Barack Obama and the host of “Pod Save America,” slammed Biden over the report, arguing that private expressions of rage are not enough in the aftermath of Monday’s tragedy.

Did Trump Just Secure This State Ahead of the 2024 Election?

President Joe Biden’s border crisis is costing him voters, resulting in his 2024 re-election chances going down the drain.

On the other hand, Biden’s border crisis is looking to be good news for former President Trump’s 2024 aspirations.

Strategic National CEO John Yob predicted that recent murders in Michigan committed by illegal immigrants will drive the state’s voters to cast their ballot for Trump.

In an op-ed published this week, Yob wrote that Michigander’s mounting concerns over safety put voters “more firmly in President Trump’s corner,” as illegal immigrant crime continues to threaten the country.

“The immigration issue hitting home in West Michigan is going to fundamentally change the outlook of the 2024 election,” Yob wrote, adding that the trend will likely impact other states nationwide as well. (Read more from “Did Trump Just Secure This State Ahead of the 2024 Election?” HERE)

Alleged Gun-Toting, Drug-Dealing Migrant Squatters Released Without Bail

Six of the eight alleged gun-toting and drug-dealing migrant squatters were released without bail Friday, New York Post reported.

The neighborhood was outraged after six migrant squatters allegedly engaged in illicit activities were released without bail, according to the New York Post. Judge Eugene D. Bowen from the Bronx Criminal Court let Hector Desousa-Villalta go on supervised release last Friday night, even though the district attorney wanted his bail set at either $150,000 in cash or $450,000 bond, says the DA’s office, New York Post stated.

Bowen also let two more people, Yoessy Pino Castillo and Jefferson Orlando Abreau, go without bail after their court appearances Friday, as the DA’s office and court records show, New York Post reported. Another judge from the same court, Laurence Busching, allowed three additional individuals — Yojairo Martinez, Johan Cardenas Silva, and Yerbin Lozado-Munoz — to leave on supervised release after their court dates.

A group of eight migrant squatters were apprehended by the NYPD. One of the squatters allegedly brandished a 9 mm CZ pistol at someone nearby, prompting police intervention. Despite the gravity of their actions, including charges of criminal possession of a weapon, a controlled substance, and endangering a child, they walked away free under supervised release.

House GOP Probes DOJ on Possible Retaliation Against Hunter Biden Whistleblowers

House Republicans are probing the Department of Justice (DOJ) about possible retaliation against whistleblowers connected to its impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, letters obtained by the Daily Caller Tuesday reveal.

Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer and Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith addressed letters to Attorney General Merrick Garland, Special Counsel David Wiess and U.S. Commissioner of Internal Revenue Daniel Werfel on Tuesday, asking about potential retaliation against the whistleblowers.

The letters claim that Hunter Biden, the president’s son and a key character in the impeachment inquiry, and his lawyers launched an intimidation campaign against the whistleblowers. The lawmakers demanded that the DOJ tell their respective committees if they are investigating the subjects.

“Retaliation against whistleblowers is unlawful and morally repugnant, and if the Biden administration is doing that to these whistleblowers, there will be hell to pay,” a GOP source with knowledge of the investigation told the Daily Caller in a statement.

The lawmakers continued to ask the DOJ to provide their respective committees with documents and communications relating to an investigation into the whistleblowers, the letter shows. Providing such, the lawmakers state, will ensure that the DOJ is not retaliating against the whistleblowers.
