CNN Refuses to Air State of the Union Ad Blaming Biden for Murder of Laken Riley (VIDEO)

CNN refused to air a conservative group’s State of the Union ad that blamed President Joe Biden for the murder of 22-year-old Georgia nursing student Laken Riley, who was killed by an illegal immigrant.

Building America’s Future said Friday that major media networks, including Fox News, MSNBC, and Newsmax, all accepted the ad. CNN ultimately rejected it, however.

“CNN and Joe Biden are in lockstep once again: they won’t even #sayhername,” Building America’s Future advisor Phil Cox said in a statement provided to National Review.

“It is shameful that CNN is censoring the truth and trying to protect President Biden by refusing to air this ad,” Cox added. “The American people understand that Biden’s open borders agenda is responsible for the death of Laken Riley. Building America’s Future won’t be deterred when it comes to the important work of informing the public on how we are all less safe in Joe Biden’s America.”

The news was first shared by Fox News commentator Guy Benson on X: “I am told that CNN is refusing to air this. They ran out the clock on a pre-SOTU ad buy — then rejected it, calling several of its claims unsubstantiated. Fox and MSNBC aired it.”

In response to National Review’s request for comment, a CNN spokesperson confirmed that the ad failed to meet the network’s commercial clearance guidelines and policies because its claims were unsubstantiated.

Psychiatrist Sees Signs Biden Was Medicated for State of the Union Performance

A psychiatrist who has worked with elderly dementia patients said President Biden exhibited signs of stimulant use to mask cognitive decline in his amped-up, aggressive State of the Union speech on Thursday.

Mr. Biden, 81, often raced through his remarks with the speed of an auctioneer, loudly shouting his words despite having a microphone in front of him.

Speed and volume of speech can be a sign of using Adderall or another amphetamine, said Dr. Carole Lieberman, a forensic psychiatrist based in Beverly Hills, California.

“If you look at how Joe Biden usually is — slow and stumbling — compared to how he was during the State of the Union — fiery and angry — these are signs that are typical for someone taking Adderall or any amphetamine,” she said.

Dr. Lieberman, who has not personally examined the president, said the signs of potential pharmaceutical use go beyond how Mr. Biden spoke during the nearly 90-minute speech, but also in his mannerisms.

Report: Biden Trying to ‘Collapse’ Netanyahu Government, Mid-War

U.S. President Joe Biden is reportedly attempting to force the “collapse” of the Israeli government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the middle of a war against Hamas terrorists in Gaza and a potential war against Hezbollah in Lebanon.

Biden has been increasingly hostile to Netanyahu in his public remarks, recently saying that Netanyahu is “hurting” Israel more than he is helping it through his conduct of the war. (Netanyahu fired back, saying that Biden was “wrong.”)

Now, New York Magazine reports that the Biden Administration is actively looking for ways to force Netanyahu’s right-wing coalition, which has been remarkably unified, to fall apart, which would bring about early elections. It reported (original emphasis):

One Israeli expert frequently consulted by American officials says, “I have been asked by a serious administration figure what it is that will force the Netanyahu coalition to collapse. They were interested in the mechanics, what can we demand which will collapse his coalition.”

House Speaker Blasts Biden as an ‘Embarrassment’ for Apology to Laken Riley Murder Suspect

House Speaker Mike Johnson blasted President Biden as an “embarrassment” for seemingly apologizing to Laken Riley’s accused killer instead of to the slain student’s family.

“The president is cowering to his base and showing deference to a man who deserves none. This man is an illegal immigrant who brutally murdered Laken Riley. President Biden should be apologizing to Laken’s family. What an embarrassment,” Johnson wrote on X on Sunday, responding to Biden’s interview with MSNBC’s Jonathan Capehart that aired Saturday.

At the urging of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., Biden, during an off-script moment in his State of the Union address on Thursday, decried Riley’s killing by “an illegal.” The president later backtracked during his interview with Capehart, saying he should have instead used the word “undocumented” to describe Jose Ibarra, a Venezuelan national charged with murdering Riley, an Augusta University nursing student who was out for a run on the University of Georgia campus last month.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement confirmed that Ibarra illegally crossed the border near El Paso, Texas, and was released into the U.S. for further processing in September 2022.

He was later arrested and released in New York City for allegedly endangering a child about a year later. (Read more from “House Speaker Blasts Biden as an ‘Embarrassment’ for Apology to Laken Riley Murder Suspect” HERE)

Democrats React to Biden’s State of the Union: See? He’s Not Mentally Handicapped, Just a Bad President!

All you need to know about Joe Biden’s hopped up State of the Union address, delivered Thursday night through the tightest squint I’ve ever seen, is that after it was over, Democrat Rep. Jerry Nadler waddled over to the president to say, “Nobody’s going to talk about cognitive impairment now!”

I don’t know about you, but that’s exactly the confidence boost I want after performing a job as intellectually and physically exhausting as reading a speech. . .

There was never a doubt Biden would be able to muster enough stamina to hack and holler through a speech in front of hundreds of Democrats who were instructed by party leadership to thunderously applaud each line as though they were staring at the sexiest man alive. What was unknown was whether this would be the public appearance that goes so poorly that even Democrats are forced to plumb their inky hearts to find an ounce of patriotism to allow them to acknowledge the obvious.

Biden has repeatedly shown he can give a stink eye for an hour or so once every six months on live national television while shouting some remarks, buying Democrats and the media a little more time to pretend this fossilized dementia outpatient is sharp as a tack. Then he invariably toddles back to the White House in his orthopedic shoes, where he rests and molts, largely away from the average voter’s gaze.

Here Were Some of Trump’s Best Posts About Biden’s Unhinged State of the Union

By Townhall. It’ll never happen, but if our elections were solely fought in the arena of social media, Joe Biden would get slaughtered. Biden’s team had that ‘Dark Brandon’ creation, but it never went anywhere because Biden is old, weak, and can’t remember when his son died. Trump’s team has brutalized this White House, including mocking Biden and Nancy walking together—they spliced a nursing home into the video to make it seem like a Visiting Angels commercial.

While his Twitter account has been restored, Trump solely uses his Truth Social platform. He was live-blogging Biden’s unhinged State of the Union address last night, and it was more entertaining than anything Joe had to say last night. The bombastic, partisan speech was marketed as some comeback for Biden. Give it time; all it takes is for him to fall again for voters to realize he’s too old to be president.

From Biden’s machismo in standing up to Putin, which was ridiculous, to the economy, immigration, and the rule of law, Trump was there to slap down all of Biden’s lies:

Here’s Why Biden’s Unscripted Moment Freaked out Democrats

By Townhall. . .President Joe Biden finally referenced Laken Riley’s name, sort of, during Thursday’s State of the Union address. He referred to her as “Lincoln Riley,” acknowledging she was “an innocent young woman who was killed, by an illegal, that’s right!” The accused killer, Jose Antonio Ibarra, is here illegally from Venezuela. The official White House transcript indicates that Riley wasn’t mentioned in the prepared remarks. We can thus thank Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) for Biden acknowledging that Riley “was killed by an illegal.” Yet Democratic members and other liberals went nuts that the president would dare to use that term.

Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) was among them. During her appearance on CNN right after the speech, she insisted Biden “should have said undocumented,” adding, “We usually say undocumented.” Her response came as Dana Bash pointed out she wasn’t even asking what Pelosi thought about the term the president used.

There were those even more enthusiastically outraged at Biden, including and especially over social media. Many of them are members of Congress or state legislatures.

Biden Blames ‘Eavesdropping’ Media After Netanyahu Needs ‘Come to Jesus’ Moment Hot-Mic Snafu

President Biden was caught saying on a hot mic Thursday evening that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu needed a “come to Jesus” talk about the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip.

The president, 81, made the awkward comment about the Jewish state’s head of government while mingling with lawmakers following his State of the Union address — asking Sen. Michael Bennet (D-Colo.) to keep what he said confidential.

“I told him, ‘Bibi’ — and don’t repeat this, but [I said] ‘You and I are going to have a come to Jesus—’,” Biden began as an aide rushed over to stop him from saying more, exclaiming “Sir!” and whispering in his ear.

“I’m on a hot mic here,” Biden said out loud after the aide conveyed his message, adding sarcastically, “Good. That was good.”

Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg stood nearby, and it was unclear whether they overheard the remark. (Read more from “Biden Blames ‘Eavesdropping’ Media After Netanyahu Needs ‘Come to Jesus’ Moment Hot-Mic Snafu” HERE)

Biden Slammed as ‘Pathetic’ by Laken Riley’s Mother for Fumbling Murdered Nursing Student’s Name at State of the Union

The heartbroken mother of Georgia nursing student Laken Riley slammed President Biden for fumbling her daughter’s name during the State of Union speech — calling him “pathetic” for the slip.

“Biden does not even KNOW my child’s name – it [sic] pathetic!” Allyson Philips wrote Friday in response to a comment on a Facebook post celebrating the passage of the Laken Riley Act.

‘If you are going to say her name (even when forced to do so) at least say the right name!” she insisted.

The grieving mother also wrote “Amen!” underneath a comment that called Biden “a disgrace of a president.”

Biden, 81, accidentally referred to the 22-year-old nursing student – who was murdered on the University of Georgia campus two weeks ago – as “Lincoln Riley” during the speech Thursday night.

Feds Used ‘Secret Portal’ to Tell Banks to Flag Customers’ Purchases Involving MAGA, Trump

Federal law enforcement operated a “portal” where it shared guidance instructing financial institutions to identify “domestic violent extremists,” which included searching for customer transactions including keywords like “MAGA” and “Trump,” as well as purchases for items like “religious texts,” according to a new House committee report.

Documents obtained by the House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government revealed law enforcement “treated lawful transactions as suspicious and shared information with financial institutions through backdoor channels, often circulating materials exhibiting a clear animus towards conservative viewpoints,” according to the report. Through a web portal run after Jan. 6 by the Domestic Security Alliance Council (DSAC), a public-private partnership headed by the DHS and FBI, federal law enforcement shared materials offering guidance on identifying “extremists” with over 650 member companies, the report details.

One such intelligence product, titled “Domestic Violent Extremists Likely Emboldened in Aftermath of Capitol Breach,” put financial institutions on alert about Americans who “expressed opposition to firearm regulations, open borders, COVID-19 lockdowns, vaccine mandates, and the ‘deep state.’”

“Federal law enforcement used this report and materials like it to commandeer financial institutions’ databases and ask the financial institutions to conduct sweeping searches of individuals not suspected of committing any crimes,” the committee report explains.

The report also includes emails FBI officials sent directly to Bank of America with specific search requests. One request, sent on January 15, 2021, asks for any customer who made transactions in Washington, D.C. from Jan. 5-6 that had any “historical purchase” of a firearm or who purchased a hotel or Airbnb within a range of dates that month.

Biden Threatens Supreme Court Over Abortion Ruling (VIDEO)

Following in the footsteps of Sen. Chuck Schumer, who earlier publicly threatened members of the U.S. Supreme Court, and other Democrats, Joe Biden took the same approach during his politicized State of the Union speech.

“With all due respect, justices, women are not without electrical power! Excuse me, electoral or political power. You’re about to realize…”

A report by The Gateway Pundit noted the threat was a Biden ad lib, as it was not in the White House transcript prepared for his speech.

That said, “Many of you in this Chamber and my predecessor are promising to pass a national ban on reproductive freedom. My god, what freedoms will you take away next?”

The Daily Mail reported it was one of many “political barbs” in the partisan speech. (Read more from “Biden Threatens Supreme Court Over Abortion Ruling (VIDEO)” HERE)
