Biden Wants New War Powers Vote in Congress for Authorizing America’s Foreign Wars

/0 Comments/in , /by

The White House on Friday said it is “committed” to working with Congress on new legislation to repeal current presidential war powers to be replaced with a “narrow and specific framework” to protect U.S. national security, while “ending the forever wars.”

The commitment comes after a bipartisan group of senators, led by Sens. Tim Kaine, D-Va., and Todd Young, R-Ind., on Wednesday called for the repeal of presidential war powers granted by Congress in 1991 and 2002, which would revoke authorization for military force in the Middle East, as tensions rise between the U.S. and Iran.

CBS News reports that Ducklo issued a statement:

In a statement, press secretary Jen Psaki confirmed the resignation on Saturday, saying she had a discussion with Ducklo on Saturday evening. White House chief of staff Ron Klain supported the conversation, she added.

White House Asks Illegal Aliens: Please Don’t Rush the Border, as ‘Remain in Mexico’ Policy Ends

/0 Comments/in , /by

The White House on Tuesday urged potential Central American asylum seekers not to rush the US-Mexico border as President Biden ends former President Donald Trump’s “Remain in Mexico” policy.

The 2018 policy required asylum seekers arriving at the Mexico border to await a decision on their claims before entering the US. . .

White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan and his deputy Liz Sherwood-Randall said in a statement that the initial rollback of “Remain in Mexico” will apply only to the 71,000 asylum seekers who are already part of the program.

“If you seek entry into the US and do not have an active MPP case, you will be immediately expelled and will not be permitted to remain in the United States,” they said. (Read more from “White House Asks Illegal Aliens: Please Don’t Rush the Border, as ‘Remain in Mexico’ Policy Ends” HERE)

Ex-White House Interpreter: ‘Canceled and Humiliated’ for Supporting Trump

/1 Comment/in , /by

The White House sign-language interpreter who was outed as a supporter of former President Donald Trump said Sunday that she hasn’t been offered a return engagement since — and blasted critics who attacked her credibility and professionalism.

Heather Mewshaw, who began working as an independent contractor for the White House last year, said she hasn’t been contacted by the Biden administration in the wake of a Time magazine report that revealed she translated speeches for conservative social media groups.

“The goal of my activity — at the White House or with Hands of Liberty — is that it’s all about access,” Mewshaw told The Post.

“The thing is, I was canceled and humiliated publicly and it was unjust and unfair.”

Mewshaw, a 41-year-old married mother of four from Glen Burnie, Md., also said she’s been “harassed” and “intimidated” online for providing American Sign Language translation for the Hands of Liberty Facebook group and its defunct predecessor, Right Side ASL.

This Is What Fauci Says About Wearing a Second Face Mask

/0 Comments/in , /by

Two face masks are better than one, Dr. Anthony Fauci said Monday.

The infectious diseases specialist that double-masking is a logical way to curb the spread of the coronavirus.

“If you have a physical covering with one layer, you put another layer on, it just makes common sense that it likely would be more effective,” Fauci said on the “Today” show.

The White House advisor explained that the face coverings prevent respiratory droplets — and the virus — from spreading to other people, as well as protecting the wearer. (Read more from “This Is What Fauci Says About Wearing a Second Face Mask” HERE)

Movers Seen at White House Week Ahead of Biden Arrival

/0 Comments/in , /by

A moving truck loaded with packing boxes was photographed arriving at the White House on Wednesday afternoon ahead of the House vote to impeach President Trump for a second time.

Four movers were seen unloading pallets of flatpack cardboard boxes outside the the Executive Office Building on the White House grounds as the Trump family prepares to leave the executive residence and decamp to Florida.

Furious preparations are underway with just one week until President-elect Joe Biden takes the oath of office and moves into 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. on Jan. 20.

The commander in chief and first lady Melania Trump officially ditched New York and made the Sunshine State their primary residence in September 2019, trading Manhattan’s Trump Tower for their sun-drenched Mar-a-Lago Club in West Palm Bach.

A source close to the couple told Page Six last month that the pair are looking at luxury homes in Palm Beach and private schools in the area for their son, Barron Trump, 14. (Read more from “Movers Seen at White House Week Ahead of Biden Arrival” HERE)

/1 Comment/in , /by

White House Coronavirus Response Coordinator Dr. Deborah Birx announced Tuesday she plans to retire after it was revealed Sunday she defied her own COVID travel guidelines over Thanksgiving.

Like numerous government officials, Birx insisted that American families not travel and limit Thanksgiving celebrations to “your immediate household.” However, the day after Thanksgiving, she was caught traveling with multigenerational family members out of state to one of her vacation properties on Fenwick Island in Delaware. Birx told the Associated Press everyone on the Delaware trip was part of her “immediate household,” even though those involved live in two different houses.

Birx had been seeking a position in a potential Biden administration but, after receiving harsh criticism from the American people and her colleagues, she decided to resign instead, saying the experience has been “overwhelming” for her family over the last couple of days. . .

In an interview with Newsy, Birx said she wants to help the Biden administration transition into office but she then plans to retire. “I want the Biden administration to be successful,” Birx said. “I will be helpful in any role that people think I can be helpful in and then I will retire.”

Still Fighting: White House Refuses to Recognize Biden as President-Elect Following Electoral College Vote; Arizona State Senator Subpoenas Maricopa County for Election Audits; Legislative Committees Slap Multiple Cities With Election-Related Subpoenas

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Washington Examiner. White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany declined to echo Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s acknowledgment of Joe Biden as president-elect.

“The president is still involved in ongoing litigation related to the election,” McEnany told reporters on Tuesday.

On Monday, the Electoral College met across the country to affirm Biden’s win, giving the president-elect 306 votes to President Trump’s 232, 37 days after multiple outlets called the Nov. 3 election in Biden’s favor on Nov. 11.

McEnany, instead, referred questions to the Trump campaign, describing the electors meeting as “one step in the constitutional process.” (Read more from “Still Fighting: White House Refuses to Recognize Biden as President-Elect Following Electoral College Vote” HERE)

Arizona State Senator Subpoenas Maricopa County for Election Audits

By Washington Examiner. An Arizona state senator subpoenaed the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors, demanding audits of Dominion Voting Systems machines used in the state’s largest county.

Arizona state Senate President Karen Fann announced that Eddie Farnsworth, a Republican who is the chairman of the state Senate’s Judiciary Committee, served the subpoenas on Tuesday.

“Today, under my direction as Senate President, Judiciary Committee Chairman Eddie Farnsworth issued subpoenas to the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors. One subpoena calls for a scanned ballot audit, to collect an electronic ballot image cast for all mail-in ballots counted in the November 2020 general election in Maricopa County, Arizona. The second subpoena calls for a full forensic audit of ballot tabulation equipment, the software for that equipment and the election management system used in the 2020 general election,” Fann said in the statement obtained by the Washington Examiner.

“The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors were served these subpoenas on Tuesday afternoon, and they call for the information to be delivered to the Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman on or before 5 p.m. on December 18, 2020. I appreciate Board Chairman Clint Hickman’s commitment to the integrity of the Arizona election process, and I know he shares all of our concerns,” Fann added.

/0 Comments/in , /by

White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany’s husband, Sean Gilmartin, appeared without a mask in the White House briefing room on Wednesday and declined to cover his face after being asked to do so by a journalist.

The interaction between Gilmartin and the White House press corps came after McEnany, who generally does not wear a mask at the briefing room podium, conducted a 24-minute news conference.

Photographer Doug Mills of The New York Times initiated the exchange when he “politely pointed out” to Gilmartin, a professional baseball pitcher, rules mandating that masks be worn in White House press areas. . .

Mills confirmed to Johnson that Gilmartin was maskless for the entirety of the briefing, adding that he did not know Gilmartin was McEnany’s husband when he informed him about the mask rules. (Read more from “McEnany’s Husband Attends White House Press Briefing Without Mask” HERE)
