Biden-Harris Administration Wishes Everyone a ‘Happy Kwanzaa’

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Biden-Harris White House has wished Americans a “Happy Kwanzaa” — a holiday invented in 1966 by a racist extremist who served prison time for torturing a woman.

Vice President Kamala Harris — who was born just two years before the holiday’s inception — claimed in 2020 that she and her family used to gather around, “across multiple generations,” and discuss Kwanzaa’s “seven principles” — which are identical to the principles of left-wing terrorist organization Symbionese Liberation Army.

Harris wrote on X in 2020 that her family’s “Kwanzaa celebrations are one of my favorite childhood memories,” garnering thousands of critical comments pointing out that the holiday’s founder, Maulana Karenga (born Ronald McKinley Everett, pictured above), was a violent radical:

Despite the backlash, the White House has once again posted a “Happy Kwanzaa” message on social media:

New Data Shows Dems Are in Serious Trouble

/1 Comment/in , , /by

The Democratic Party is a mess. The spending bill circus wasn’t the prettiest of spectacles, but don’t let that sideshow distract you from the wider mayhem engulfing the Left. They’re in for more pain if they don’t course correct, and given how some top officials have reacted to their 2024 loss—they’re not keen on changing their ways for the future. No, this doesn’t mean the GOP is the beneficiary of the permanent political majority, a term I loathe. Still, it does mean Republicans could be in for two, maybe three, good election cycles since normal voters are tired of liberal America’s condescension and elitism.

Progressive research groups cannot sweep this under the rug: most voters view Democrats as being the punchable faces of American politics. That’s because they are. Our friends at Twitchy had this first, but the advantages the Left once had in elections have evaporated completely. As pollster Tony Fabrizio told us, We also learned that the most effective ad against Kamala Harris was this cycle. In short, any ad where she was talking was useful in chipping away at the VP’s presidential hopes:

More on the data issues Democrats face—they have a tough rough ahead (via Politico):

Democrats conducting post-mortems on their sweeping losses in 2024 are finding more reason for alarm. And the problem isn’t just Kamala Harris or Joe Biden.

In a trio of focus groups, even voters who previously backed Democrats cast the party as weak and overly focused on diversity and elites, according to research by the progressive group Navigator Research.

When asked to compare the Democratic Party to an animal, one participant compared the party to an ostrich because “they’ve got their heads in the sand and are absolutely committed to their own ideas, even when they’re failing.” Another likened them to koalas, who “are complacent and lazy about getting policy wins that we really need.” Democrats, another said, are “not a friend of the working class anymore.”

Joe Biden Tells Kamala Harris ‘You’re Not Going Anywhere’ After Loss

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden told Kamala Harris she’s “not going anywhere,” as the vice president reportedly mulls over her next move following her November election loss.

At the Democratic National Committee’s holiday reception in Washington, D.C., on Sunday, Biden said: “It’s also been an incredible honor to serve with someone of immense character as she demonstrated throughout her entire career — Kamala Harris.”

“I knew what I was doing when I asked her to be my vice president,” he said. “She always served this country with purpose and integrity, and she always will. And you’re not going anywhere kid — because we’re not going to let you go.”

Harris, who became her party’s presidential nominee after Biden dropped out of the race in July, ran a truncated campaign in under four months and ultimately lost to Donald Trump. It’s unclear what she will do next, but some reports suggest that she is contemplating whether to run for governor of California in 2026 or to try to win the Democratic nomination for president in 2028.

Biden Gave Iran $10 Billion in Sanctions Relief Days After Trump Won Election

/0 Comments/in , /by

The outgoing Biden-Harris administration gave Iran $10 billion in sanctions relief just days after Donald Trump won the 2024 presidential election, despite Iran’s ongoing attacks against Israel and support for terrorist organizations.

The Washington Free Beacon reported:

Secretary of State Antony Blinken determined on November 8 that “it is in the national security interest of the United States” to waive mandatory economic sanctions that bar Iraq from transferring upward of $10 billion to Iran in electricity import payments.

…

Though the first Trump administration did green-light the same waiver—causing tension with some congressional Republicans—it narrowly tailored the waiver to restrict Iranian access to the cash. The Biden State Department tweaked the waiver last year to allow Tehran to convert the funds from Iraqi dinars to euros, then hold those euros in bank accounts based in Oman. Access to a widely traded currency like the euro enables Iran to more easily spend the cash in international markets. Under the first Trump administration, Iran had to keep the cash in an escrow account in Baghdad, making it more difficult to access.

…

The Biden State Department maintains that Iran is only permitted to use the funds for humanitarian needs, including medicines and other supplies. Republican critics argue that money is fungible, meaning that Tehran will have an easier time diverting its dwindling cash reserves to its regional terror proxies, such as Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthi rebels in Yemen, should it have access to the sanctioned cash for other purposes.

The sanctions waiver also came just days after the United Nations determined that Iran was able to give the Houthi rebels in Yemen “unprecedented” support after the Biden administration waived $6 billion in sanctions on Iran.

Dem Donor: Oh, I Know Obama and Pelosi Didn’t Want Kamala

/0 Comments/in , /by

Democratic strategist Lindy Li doesn’t care if she never works in politics again. The operative has gone on a media tour, where she has excoriated her colleagues over the failed 2024 Kamala Harris campaign. She risks never working in Democratic politics again, but she likely couldn’t care less. She cannot keep her mouth shut regarding the unmitigated disaster this year and told NewsNation’s Natasha Zouves what we had an inkling of post-Joe Biden’s 2024 ouster: The party brain trust didn’t want Kamala Harris. Specifically, Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi didn’t want her.

Ms. Li went into depth regarding these interactions, reportedly having deep ties to the Obama world and being friends with Ms. Pelosi.

“I know they didn’t,” she said. “It’s not a matter conjecture for me. I know they didn’t.”

Regarding her discussion with Pelosi’s camp, the former House speaker told Li to give Biden the code red, so to speak, granting her permission to venture onto Fox News Sunday, the day Biden got the boot, to sell the “step down and pass the mantle to the next generation” line.

“Obama and Pelosi were both hoping for a primary instead of a coronation, so to speak, “she added. “The chieftains of the party were hoping for a lightning round, a lightning primary. And President Biden essentially preempted that by issuing his endorsement 30 minutes after he dropped out.” (Read more from “Dem Donor: Oh, I Know Obama and Pelosi Didn’t Want Kamala” HERE)

In a video posted to X, Harris sits next to Emhoff, who talks about how Thanksgiving is a day when people “come together to reflect” on what they are thankful for. Emhoff adds that Thanksgiving is also a day where people cook their favorite recipes and “share family stories” with each other.

“Greetings everyone, and happy Thanksgiving,” Harris begins.

“Today, we come together to reflect on what we are thankful for and to share our appreciation for one another, surrounded by family, friends, and those we cherish,” Emhoff continues. “We cook our favorite recipes, we share family stories, serve those in need, and give thanks for our blessings.”

‘I Was Stunned’: DNC Official Says Harris Took No ‘Responsibility’ For Blowing Billions During Campaign Donor Call

/4 Comments/in , /by

Democratic National Committee National Finance Committee member Lindy Li said Tuesday that Vice President Kamala Harris did not take “responsibility” for her campaign spending billions of dollars during a donor call.

The Harris campaign and the Democratic Party reportedly spent almost $1.5 billion during her short presidential run, which she launched on July 21. Li, on “NewsNation Now,” said she was shocked by the lack of accountability for the spending and loss, noting the call seemed “self-congratulatory.”

“She actually held two calls, one for her top donors and one for grassroots. I was speaking and texting with fellow attendees in the call, and we were amazed by how self-congratulatory the tone was …. The call was about 20, 30 minutes,” Li said. “I don’t recall anyone taking responsibility for the fact that we spent about $2 billion across the super PAC and the campaign and came up so significantly short. We lost seven swing states.”

“They praise Harris as a visionary leader. I believe at one moment during the call, she was talking about her Thanksgiving recipe. And I don’t say this with any malice or anything. I’m just merely conveying what happened. I think I was stunned to hear that, given just the extent and brutality of the loss and the fact that DNC staffers — at least two-thirds — have been fired summarily,” she added. “And a lot of them are at a loss as to what to do. I’m just, frankly, stunned that there was no sort of post-mortem or an analysis of how we can do better, what sort of lessons were learned. It was really just patting each other on the back, congratulating each other on I’m not sure what. And saying, ‘We’ll see you for Christmas.’” (Read more from “‘I Was Stunned’: DNC Official Says Harris Took No ‘Responsibility’ For Blowing Billions During Campaign Donor Call” HERE)

WH Insists Biden-Harris One of the ‘Most Successful Administrations in History’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Just weeks after Vice President Kamala Harris’ overwhelming loss to President-elect Trump in the 2024 presidential election, the White House released a memo that hailed the Biden-Harris administration as one of the most successful in history.

The memo shared on Monday highlighted how President Biden and Harris took office during the COVID-19 pandemic and a “reeling” economy, before going on to call their administration “one of the most successful administrations in history” which “will be leaving behind the best economy in the world.”

“Under President Biden and Vice President Harris’ leadership, 16 million jobs have been created, and we’ve gotten women and people of color back in the labor force at record rates,” the memo stated. “A record 20 million new business applications have been filed, and inflation is down to near pre-pandemic levels.”

The White House added that “our success” in these areas was due to “passing and implementing legislation that rebuilt our nation’s infrastructure, made the largest investment in climate action in history, lowered prescription drug costs, and spurred a manufacturing renaissance.” (Read more from “WH Insists Biden-Harris One of the ‘Most Successful Administrations in History’” HERE)

Ellen DeGeneres Leaves United States, Flees to England over Trump Election

/0 Comments/in , /by

Comedienne and former talk show powerhouse Ellen DeGeneres has fled the United States for the England in response to President-elect Donald Trump’s victory over Kamala Harris.

A source close to DeGeneres and her partner Portia de Rossi told TheWrap that the celebrity couple have placed their Montecito home on the market and moved to Cotswolds – a rural part of England. Trump’s election was allegedly the couple’s primary motivation. Per TheWrap:

Ellen DeGeneres and wife Portia de Rossi have moved to rural England, put their Montecito estate on the market and plan to never return to the United States, telling friends the election of Donald Trump was their primary motivation, a person close to the former TV host told TheWrap.

Though the incoming Republican administration was the cited catalyst, a fresh start couldn’t hurt: DeGeneres has been open about being “kicked out of show business” after reports of toxic workplace behavior at the syndicated “Ellen” show in 2022.

DeGeneres has already moved to the Cotswolds, a rural area in south-central England, the person said, adding that her Montecito mansion, roughly 90 minutes north of Los Angeles, has been pocket-listed or will be listed soon. A representative for Riskin Partners, the prestigious real estate company she retains, did not immediately respond to a request for comment Wednesday.

Biden Admin Obstructing Investigations Into Trafficking, Exploitation Of Migrant Children, Report Finds

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Biden-Harris administration is obstructing congressional and state investigations into the exploitation and trafficking of unaccompanied alien children, a Senate committee report found.

Louisiana GOP Sen. Bill Cassidy, a ranking member of the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, released a report Tuesday that accuses the Biden-Harris administration of widespread “failures” that ultimately led to widespread abuse and exploitation of migrant children. The report also accused the White House of “stonewalling” Congressional oversight into its handling of these unaccompanied alien children and obstructing other state investigations.

“When Ranking Member Cassidy attempted to hold the Biden-Harris administration accountable, the administration made every effort to cover its failures up and to stonewall each new oversight effort — a course of action that continues today,” the report said.

“The administration also refuses to comply with state-level efforts to investigate and prevent the trafficking and exploitation of [unaccompanied children] caused by its own weak sponsor vetting policies and the chaos,” the report said.

The report cited instances when Cassidy’s office “routinely” submitted letters to Health and Human Services (HHS) requesting information on the care that unaccompanied children receive within the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR), the vetting of sponsors, and how ORR operates to ensure these migrant children are safe after their release. However, the report claims HHS would repeatedly take months to respond to these requests — and sometimes the department would not respond at all.
