Protecting Biden Is a Full-Time Job for the Times

 Ann Coulter


"This is an odd line to read in The New York Times:  Ashley Biden’s Diary Was Shown at Trump Fund-Raiser. Weeks Later, Project Veritas Called Her. - The New York Times (nytimes.com)

"In “a still-emerging story” (exciting, no?), Project Veritas “worked to expose personal information about the Biden family at a crucial stage of the 2020 campaign.”

"Isn’t that what journalists are supposed to do?

"Just kidding! As we saw with Hunter Biden’s laptop, the job of journalists is to suppress negative information about Democrats. Instead of reporting news “without fear or favor” — Times founder Adolph S. Ochs, 1896 — the U.S. media now function as the Praetorian Guard for the Democratic Party.

"Still, you’d think the Times would be embarrassed to attack others for doing the reporting they won’t do.

"The story was about how Project Veritas got its hands on the diary of the president’s daughter, Ashley Biden. (She’s the good child by virtue of being less of a drug fiend than Hunter.) It was titled: “Ashley Biden’s Diary Was Shown at Trump Fund-Raiser. Weeks Later, Project Veritas Called Her.”

"The Times no longer reports news about the president: It berates other journalists for reporting news about the president.

"Thus, the Times breathlessly reveals:

"— “The diary’s highly personal contents, if publicly disclosed, could prove an embarrassment or a distraction to her father at a critical moment in the campaign.”

"THAT’S NOT JOURNALISM! THAT’S HURTING A DEMOCRAT! IT’S LIKE ANTI-JOURNALISM.

— “[The Project Veritas] caller was seeking to trick Ms. Biden into confirming the authenticity of the diary …”

"So? Has the Times heard of Woodward and Bernstein? “60 Minutes”? Journalism?". . .

Let's play 'spot the peaceful protester'

 American Thinker  . . ."Despite billions of dollars lost in aggregated revenue, property damage, and thousands of human causalities (including many deaths), the "neo-peaceful protest" movement still receives credit as altogether peaceful!

"Is this just an expansion of the definition of "peaceful protest"?  Well, not quite.  It's a complete redefinition — a redefinition both disorienting and nonsensical.

"The definition of peaceful protests used to refer to mass marches and chants of dissatisfaction (while unarmed).  Many Americans don't realize that that definition exactly describes the protesters in D.C. on January 6, 2021.  They were unarmed as they marched toward the Capitol buildings, chanting displeasure with the presidential election outcome.  Media and commentators called this group "hateful," "White Supremacists," and insurrectionists. 

"That's funny.  The D.C. protesters didn't topple statues, they didn't set buildings on fire, they didn't set upon onlookers and demand a salute, and they didn't loot or interfere with private businesses at all.  Yet those actually peaceful protestors are universally targeted, condemned, and prosecuted by the FBI, CIA, Capitol Police, and judges.  True, some in this group did enter Capitol grounds and have been charged with "trespassing."  Still, compared to the fully armed, violent rioting and looting "neo-peaceful protesters" in 2020, this cadre of protesters was entirely benign.  Like something out of Orwell's 1984, the disproportional treatment between these two groups is grotesque!"

Joe's War: "The fate of the world is in the hands of a man who is literally and demonstrably a weak-willed and mentally disabled dimwit."


Joe Biden’s War - The American Spectator | USA News and Politics

"What are the Biden family’s benefactors in Ukraine and Russia getting for their money? Whose interests is the Biden regime serving?

 "So here we are in a shooting war with Russia. We are supplying the weapons, and the Ukrainians are doing the fighting and dying. But make no mistake. In addition to arming the Ukrainians, by our sanctions, we have declared economic war on Russia and, reportedly, are also using our satellites to target Russian troops for death and destruction. We are in this war just as surely as if Americans were on the ground pulling the triggers.

"And, as this goes on, the question becomes how will it play out? Will Russia retaliate with cyberattacks to disrupt our domestic power grid, pipelines, transportation, financial institutions or other infrastructure?  Will it unleash chemical or biological agents? Will it use tactical nukes to speed up the rubbling of Ukraine’s cities? How will we respond if Russia pursues any of these options? And how close are we to that one misstep that could cause events to spiral out of control into nuclear conflagration?

"How did we get here?

"The answer is simple. The titular head of the Biden regime is weak, corrupt, and mentally incompetent. None of this is or has been a secret. All of it has been on embarrassing display before the entire world and was disastrously demonstrated by Joe Biden’s witless and chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan as well as his astoundingly moronic prewar assurance to Vladmir Putin that the United States would not militarily oppose an invasion of Ukraine.

"Biden’s caretakers have tried to hide and explain away his glaringly obvious unfitness for office. During the 2020 presidential campaign, he was kept out of public view. As our purported president, his public appearances have been marked by his inability to extemporaneously speak in a coherent manner. He even struggles to read off a teleprompter and frequently appears to be confused and lost in a mental fog.". . .


"In the face of their incompetence, today’s situation requires emergency measures."

 


FNC's Peter Doocy to Jen Psaki: Why Are Border Detention Facilities Open At Full Capacity But Not Schools? | Video | RealClearPolitics   "FNC's Peter Doocy asked White House press secretary Jen Psaki during Wednesday's press briefing why Biden's immigration policy seems to have more to do with reversing decisions made by the Trump administration than securing the border.

"Doocy also asks: "Does the WH think that it's a problem when the CDC tells these migrant shelter facilities that they can be a full capacity... But when the CDC tells schools that they can open in person at full capacity, many of them don't?"

" 'Have the border patrols unions and the HHS unions been easier to work with than teachers unions?' ". . .

I did a search for Doocy-Psaki exchanges, but all but two in the first several pages were "Psaki totally conquers Doocy" themes.  None on either side were thoughtful pieces. TD

Math professor fired after refusing woke reeducation, so judge strips crucial protection from his persecutors


 Warner Todd Huston, The Western Journal   "The publicly funded University of North Texas was dealt a blow in court after a federal judge said school officials can be held responsible for firing employees for exercising their right of free speech.

"In his 69-page order of March 11, Judge Sean Jordan, of the United States District Court for Eastern Texas, found that university officials should have known that math professor Nathaniel Hiers' speech "touched on a matter of public concern and that discontinuing his employment because of his speech violated the First Amendment," before they fired him for going public with his disagreement with the left-wing concept of "microaggressions."

"The university was claiming qualified immunity for school officials in the case, meaning that the school wanted its officials to be excluded from being held responsible for their actions merely because they were acting in their position as state employees. Jordan denied the claim of qualified immunity and also denied the school's demand to have the case dismissed outright.

"The University of North Texas is in Denton, about 40 miles north of Dallas.

"According to Just the News, the case stems from an incident in 2019 when Hiers wrote "Don't leave garbage lying around" on a faculty lounge chalkboard right above a stack of flyers pushing the idea of "microaggressions." The flyers were not approved by the school for distribution, but some left-wing professor left them out for people to take regardless.". . .
