‘Spare America The Faux Outrage’: Pence’s Team Fires Back At White House Demanding Apology

  The Daily Wire

"Former Vice President Mike Pence and the Biden White House are engaging in a war of words after Pence made a joke about Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.

Pence initiated the sequence of events with his comments at the annual Gridiron Club dinner in Washington for journalists and politicians. He pointed out the incongruity of Buttigieg taking leave of his post after the birth of his adopted twins while Americans were struggling with air travel.

“ 'He took two months ‘maternity’ leave whereupon thousands of travelers were stranded in airports, the air traffic system shut down, and airplanes nearly collided on our runways. Pete is the only person in human history to have a child and everyone else gets postpartum depression,” Pence quipped about Buttigieg, who is gay.

"The White House furiously demanded an apology. “The former vice president’s homophobic joke about Secretary Buttigieg was offensive and inappropriate, all the more so because he treated women suffering from postpartum depression as a punchline,” White House Press Secretary Karine-Jean Pierre snapped. “He should apologize to women and LGBTQ people, who are entitled to be treated with dignity and respect.”

"Buttigieg’s husband Chasten tweeted, “An honest question for you, @Mike_Pence, after your attempted joke this weekend. If your grandchild was born prematurely and placed on a ventilator at two months old – their tiny fingers wrapped around yours as the monitors beep in the background – where would you be?”

"But Marc Short, Pence’s former chief of staff, fired back, “The Biden administration should spare America the faux outrage. The hypocrisy is especially rich considering their own Secretary of State Antony Blinken joked that he yearned for ‘the old days’ when ‘Jews did all the work.’”. . .

Don Surber: Biden killed SVB. We're next.

 Biden killed SVB. We're next.

Citizens are helpless as the kleptocratic presidency begins to wildly spend money we don’t have. Millions, billions, what comes after trillions?

"The blame game over SVB’s collapse is a diversion. The media have rounded up the usual suspects: Trump, greed, bad law, blah, blah, blah. When Captain Renault did that in Casablanca, he knew who the real culprits were. The media is not that bright.

"James Hickman is. He is the founder of Sovereign Research. He looked at the numbers and he found the culprit.

"Biden. He made government bonds worth less which has banks dropping like cockroaches in a Raid commercial.

"Using the pen name Simon Black, Hickman wrote, “Silicon Valley Bank was no Lehman Brothers. Whereas Lehman bet almost all of its balance sheet on risky mortgage bonds, SVB actually had a surprisingly conservative balance sheet.

" 'According to the bank’s annual financial statements from December 31 of last year, SVB had $173 billion in customer deposits, yet only $74 billion in loans.”

"So where did the money go?

"Hickman said, “SVB failed because they parked the majority of their depositors’ money ($119.9 billion) in U.S. government bonds.

" 'This is the really extraordinary part of this drama. U.S. government bonds are supposed to be the safest, most risk free asset in the world. But that’s totally untrue, because even government bonds can lose value. And that’s exactly what happened.”

"SVB lost money on government bonds by the billion and that brought the bank down. That is like water catching fire.". . .

Rep. Steube’s Bill To Protect Women’s Sports Picks Up Steam

 Rep. Steube’s Bill To Protect Women’s Sports Picks Up Steam (tampafp.com)

Steube’s bill has 78 co-sponsors, all Republicans.

Rep. Greg Steube 

"Rep. Greg Steube’s bill to protect women’s sports from transgender ideology is making its way to a final vote.

"The Sarasota Republican announced on Sunday that his bill, known as the The Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act of 2023, had recently passed the House Education and Workforce Committee with a 25-20 vote. All Republicans on the committee voted in favor.

"According to Congress.gov, that was the only committee assigned to consider the bill. It’s unclear when it may come up for a vote by the full House, which Republicans narrowly control.

"As The Free Press reported last month when Steube re-introduced the measure, his legislation ensures that biological females only compete against other biological females in women’s sports operated, sponsored, or facilitated by a recipient of federal funding.

"Steube has said that one of his motivating factors was the treatment of Emma Weyant of Sarasota.

"Last year Weyant, a U.S. Olympic swimmer, finished second in the NCAA championship for the 500-meter freestyle event behind the University of Pennsylvania’s Lia Thomas, a biological man who became a transgender woman. Thomas set numerous records after competing against biological women.". . .

Some Walls Might Be Closing in on the Biden Crime Family

 Some Walls Might Be Closing in on the Biden Crime Family – PJ Media

. . ."We here on the right have long known that the Biden family has business ties all over the place that are rather unsavory. Honestly, most people on the left do, too; they just don’t care. That’s why various forms of leftmedia were scrambling before the 2020 election to pretend Hunter Biden’s laptop was a nothingburger story. Their overreaction was the only reaction we needed to know we were correct.

"There is no bombshell news, but it looks like some progress has been made in exposing the depths of the Biden business depravity, especially when it comes to the commies in the country with which we will soon be fighting a war.". . .

. . ."Of course, that’s been the problem thus far. Papa B has been using the full power of the federal government that’s under his control to block any inquiries into what his ne’er-do-well son has been doing as a side hustle to support his art career.

"My friend Stephen Green is fond of saying that “Joe Biden is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Chinese Communist Party.” Obviously, the ChiComs got a package deal and Hunter was thrown in.". . .

'You Should Not Be Able to Lie in Congress': Rep. Greg Murphy Rips Adam Schiff, Calls for Ethics Probe

 RedState

. . ."In all my years of covering politics, I’ve never seen a politician who lies more often with less conscience than Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) While Joe Biden and late Senate Democrat Party Leader Harry Reid might grab the next two slots, Schiff’s serial-lying prowess is second to none — smugly and arrogantly so.

"On Friday’s broadcast of the Fox Business Network’s “Mornings with Maria,” Rep. Greg Murphy (R-N.C.) told Maria Bartiromo that the Republican-controlled House “needs to do an ethics investigation” of Schiff and his lies — at least. “You should not be able to lie in Congress,” Murphy declared.

"Murphy began by stating the obvious: Elon Musk’s release of internal Twitter Files dramatically turned the tables on Schiff and other lying Democrats.

Elon Musk has exploded the amount of information that has been withheld from us by our own government. And you know, I’ve not been ever a conspiracy theorist … but if you look now, there are some real, major problems at the top of the FBI and the DOJ that are absolutely anti-American … but now we’re finding out the truth.

Adam Schiff wouldn’t know the truth if it slapped him in the face. And the same thing with the other folks — they wanted to push a president [Trump] out and they were willing to use any means — lying, deception, you name it — to push that narrative. And the truth has come out, now, and I hope we hold these guys accountable.

"Bartiromo followed up by asking Murphy for specifics on how the new Congress will hold Schiff & Co. responsible, to which he replied:. . ."

Must-see TV: Mark Levin exposes 'the scandal no one is talking about'; The left and Islam: A match made in hell

Mark asked: "Is there a reason Joe Biden didn't condemn this?" and "Is there a reason why the Washington press corps blows this off?"

  American Thinker  "My hat is off to Mark Levin for his opening statement in Sunday's edition of Life, Liberty and Levin.  While Mark's show is always worth watching, this particular segment is clearly in the must-see category for anyone concerned about the totalitarian turn Democrat party (the world's oldest political party) has taken.

"Mark exposed, with video excerpts, the appalling Jew-hatred visible in Louis Farrakhan's February 26 "Savior's Day" rally in Chicago.  The media have almost completely ignored the rally, which is itself a scandal.  This is a rally that Ticketmaster had no scruples, no second thoughts, about enabling (and profiting off of) by selling tickets for it online.". . .

"In the rally, the phrase "the synagogue of Satan" was repeatedly invoked to characterize the entire Jewish community.  The usual charges of Jews buying political influence and short-circuiting democracy were of course made.  But the rhetoric also turned eliminationist, in a chilling way, as if Farrakhan is preparing the way for genocide (again).

"Farrakhan's rhetoric went beyond hate in the direction of incitement.  As Mark put it, he "seems to be predicting another Holocaust as far as I can tell."  I would add that he seems to be justifying it.  You must see the excerpts to believe them.

"But Mark went beyond decrying the hate to document the shameful sucking up of the Democrats to Farrakhan.  He featured the 2005 Congressional Black Caucus luncheon Farrakhan attended, where he met Barack Obama, then just beginning his political career.  Obama had no compunction about being photographed with Farrakhan, and the media obediently covered up the photo for many years:". . .

Monica Showalter adds: And this Democrat penchant for Farrakhan is far from deeds done in the distant past.  In 2018, the Democrat establishment, including ex-president Bill Clinton, stood shoulder to shoulder with Farrakhan at Aretha Franklin's funeral.  Their media lackeys tried to crop Farrakhan out of the picture in order to fool the public.  Then, in 2019, when Rep. Ilhan Omar was caught spewing anti-Semitic tropes in her tweets, Farrakhan urged her to not apologize — and drew no criticism from Omar or any other Democrat.  Mark Levin has collected numerous other examples in the video above, and in this Fox News write-up, here.

The left and Islam: A match made in hell - American Thinker   

What's worse: physical evil from an open enemy or clandestine evil from a supposed friend? One need look no farther than to Islam and the so-called "left" — in this case, the U.S. Department of Education — to appreciate the distinction.
