Joe Biden's sorriest press conference lies

https://townhall.com/political-cartoons

  Monica Showalter  "In addled Joe Biden's mess of a press conference, described in all its glory by Andrea Widburg here, he barely knew who he was or what he was doing.

"But two particularly dishonest statements came out of him anyway, and got lapped up by the fawning press.

"This:

[Question:] So, sir, you blamed the last administration, but is your messaging and saying that these children are and will be allowed to stay in this country and work their way through this process, encouraging families like Josevs to come?

. . .  "He likes to lie.

"There's also Biden's claim that Republicans are trying to limit voting rights to Americans, through such supposedly outrageous measures such as requiring voter ID, ending same day registration voting, purging voter rolls of dead people, sharing data between states about people registered to vote in multiple states, restoring election day over election season, and prohibiting ballot-harvesting. He called it 'sick,' 'despicable,' and 'un-American,' and naturally, was projecting. Biden alluded to Democrats' masterplan to rig U.S. elections the same way they are rigged in one-party blue state California in the infamous bill that passed in the House, H.R.1, and sought to whip up support for it through false narratives to be repeated by the beating flippers of the trained seal press." . . .

#MeToo concerns crop up on Kamala Harris, Bill Clinton discussion on women empowerment

Washington Times

"Vice President Kamala Harris will join former President Bill Clinton for a discussion about “empowering women and girls” Friday, the Clinton Foundation announced.

"The foundation said in a press release Tuesday that Ms. Harris and the former president will have a “one-on-one conversation” about the “impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on women, and empowering women and girls in the U.S. and around the world.”

"News of the event, hosted by the foundation’s Clinton Global Initiative University in partnership with Howard University, Ms. Harris’ alma mater, sparked a backlash from both sides of the aisle on social media due to Mr. Clinton‘s controversial treatment of women in light of the #MeToo movement.

"Juanita Broaddrick, who famously accused Mr. Clinton of rape in 1999, responded to the news in disbelief. " 

Juanita Broaddrick

Is this a f**king joke? This pervert ........ who raped me....is going to talk about empowering women....with a woman who spread her legs for power....

SICK! Leftist Crank Calls Joe Biden a “Decent Moral Person” During Presser — Called Trump Voters “White Supremacists” During Trump’s Presser

. . . "Today PBS crank Yamiche Alcindor called President Biden a “decent nice man” during her question.  "UNREAL! The media is giving Biden a tongue bath! They really have NO SHAME!" . . .

The Nature of Chinese Contempt for Us

Such naked artifice and hypocrisy may seem crazy, given China’s atrocious human rights record. But China views our own exploding budget deficits, staggering national debt, open borders, disingenuous “1619 Project,” the violence of the summer riots, and the epidemic of race-based reeducation workshops as all far crazier—and most welcome supplements to their efforts.

Victor Davis Hanson

China welcomes U.S. self-loathing that it interprets as weakness and decadence to be exploited not as self-reflection to be admired, much less emulated.

"Last week in Anchorage, Alaska, Chinese diplomats dressed down Biden Administration Secretary of State Antony Blinken and National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan. Both seem stunned by the Chinese broadsides. 

"Apparently, as elite Americans readily confess to inherent white supremacy and racism—highlighting the complaints of BLM and Antifa—the Chinese are happy to agree that such admittedly toxic Americans should not dare to criticize China’s racist policies. 

"Not since newly elected President John Kennedy was humiliated at the Cold War Vienna summit in June 1961 by USSR strongman Nikita Khrushchev have American diplomats been so roughly manhandled by a Communist government.  

"China’s defiant provocations are not just verbal. Nor are they aimed only at our high officials. 

"New York University students, at an overseas satellite Shanghai China campus, were manhandled and jailed by Chinese authorities. Not long ago U.S. diplomats in China were subject to Chinese COVID-19 anal swab testing—supposedly “in error.”  

These examples of continued humiliation and harassment could be multiplied. Yet they are simply the current public face of China’s insidious and systematic theft of U.S. patents and copyrights. It brazenly violates trade agreements, as well as manipulates its currency, dumps products below cost on world markets, cyber-assaults, expropriates Western technology, and stonewalls accurate information on the origins of COVID-19. 

"If China gives out money, it logically believes it owns the recipient. New York University in the last five years has received some $47 million in Communist Chinese-affiliated gifts. So Beijing apparently believes that it now “owns” NYU, and can send any message it likes to its clients." . . . 

Whiny narcissist meets empty suit

Indeed, the women’s World Cup can’t field enough quality teams to fill up the numbers. Hence, the sorry spectacle of the U.S.-Thailand match in 2019. The American women won that mismatch 13-0, and embarrassed themselves in the process with over-the-top goal celebrations. Megan Rapinoe’s ridiculous “look at me” celebration of goal number 9 stood out in the Thailand match. I discussed this here.

Look at me!

Power Line "Today, Joe Biden allowed Megan Rapinoe, a female soccer player, to use the White House for two of her favorite purposes: (1) whining about not being paid enough and (2) calling attention to herself.

"Rapinoe, a radical feminist, is leading the crusade for “equal pay” for women soccer players. At the White House, she made it personal, declaring that, by being paid less than players on the men’s national soccer team, she has been “devalued, disrespected, and dismissed because I am a woman.”

"Nonsense. Rapinoe certainly has not been dismissed. The limelight shines on her constantly. Today’s appearance at the White House is only the latest example.

"If Rapinoe has been “devalued,” it’s not because she’s a woman. Rather, it’s because people just aren’t that interested in women’s soccer.

"It’s easy to understand why. As many Power Line readers know, I’m a rabid soccer fan. But women’s soccer leaves me indifferent.

"If Rapinoe has been “devalued,” it’s not because she’s a woman. Rather, it’s because people just aren’t that interested in women’s soccer.

"It’s easy to understand why. As many Power Line readers know, I’m a rabid soccer fan. But women’s soccer leaves me indifferent.

"I've probably told the story about attending a soccer doubleheader during the 1996 Olympics. The first game was between the women’s teams of Brazil and Norway, both then among the top five in the world. The second was between South Korea and Ghana, both probably ranked somewhere between 25 and 30 at the time.

"Watching the second game, I couldn’t believe how fast Ghana and South Korea were playing. I had never seen anything like it, or so it seemed.

"Then, I realized why the players looked so fast. It was because I had just watched women play for 90 minutes.

"Rapinoe bases her pay grievance on the considerable success American women have achieved in the international game. It far exceeds what American men have accomplished." . . .

Obnoxious liberal and TV talk show favorite Rapinoe determined to make Olympics about politics

"But that's okay, Megan — keep running your face.  It would give many of us satisfaction to see this woman barred from play at Tokyo in 2020 because of her obnoxiousness.  She's trying to bend the world to her will and we don't like it.  We don't like her scowling mug, her snotty comments, her arrogance, or her presumption.  Those of us who follow soccer may like to watch her play, but we turn the channel when the interviews begin.

Grassley: Why Hasn't Anyone Who Lied Under Oath About Kavanaugh Been Prosecuted?

Katie Pavlich

. . . "After a lengthy investigation, the Committee found that all allegations made against Kavanaugh, including by main Democrat witness Christine Blasey Ford, lacked evidence. Worse, provably false allegations were made under oath and a number of individuals were referred to the Department of Justice for prosecution. The lack of evidence was detailed in a 500-page long report, which was published in November 2018. 

"Committee investigators found no verifiable evidence that supported Dr. Ford’s allegations against Justice Kavanaugh. The witnesses that Dr. Ford identified as individuals who could corroborate her allegations failed to do so, and in fact, contradicted her," the report states. 

" 'After an extensive investigation that included the thorough review of all potentially credible evidence submitted and interviews of more than 40 individuals with information relating to the allegations, including classmates and friends of all those involved, Committee investigators found no witness who could provide any verifiable evidence to support any of the allegations brought against Justice Kavanaugh," the report continues. "In other words, following the separate and extensive investigations by both the Committee and the FBI, there was no evidence to substantiate any of the claims of sexual assault made against Justice Kavanaugh.' " . . .

More than 2yrs ago we had some bogus allegations against now Justice Kavanaugh we know ppl lied to congress &that’s against the law So I sent criminal referral to DOJ for prosecution/I sent a letter to DOJ this wk wanting to know why these ppl haven’t been prosecuted 2yrs later??

Ex-CNN producer calls for network to ‘step in’ and stop Don Lemon’s ‘dangerous’ rhetoric

 

Tony Branco

Ex-CNN producer calls for network to ‘step in’ and stop Don Lemon’s ‘dangerous’ rhetoric   " 'I know I say it all the time, but I'll say it again -- with people like Don Lemon in such a prominent position, if you're on the right, CNN truly hates you. They hate what you think, how you vote, and how you live your lives," Houck wrote to accompany images of chyrons that said, "Too many on the right don’t have the courage to stand up for our lives, but they’ll take away for vote," "As pandemic restrictions are being lifted, the mass shootings are starting again and America is mourning again" and "Why are we willing to tolerate an obscene loss of life?"

"Someone at CNN needs to step in. This hyperbole isn't just offensive, it's actually dangerous," tweeted Steve Krakauer.  . . . "Krakauer was responding to a collection of incendiary chyron messages that accompanied Lemon's screed advocating for draconian gun control measures.

" 'Every single one of us is just playing the odds at this point," Lemon said during his comments. "The odds that in a country of 325 million souls, that we won't be the ones that will get hit by the next bullets that start flying. We won't be the one that gets that phone call about someone you love who did, that phone call that changes your life.' " . . .

Don Lemon Being Don Lemon: GOP 'Wants to Take Away Your Vote,' Doesn't Have the Courage to Stand up for Our Lives'  . . . "Where does one begin with that guy and his incendiary crap? Moreover, what does Lemon’s irresponsible, factless unchecked ranting, night after night, say about CNN?  "Really, CNN? “The Most Trusted Name in News”? Sounds legit." . . .

Has there ever in US history been a more pitiful Cabinet?

This administration has done more damage in two months than any previous administration did in two years or two terms.  We are no longer to be energy independent.  There are no borders, so we are no longer a sovereign nation.  Biden has put tens of thousands of people out of work — the pipeline, the wall, the 80 million acres of federal land he has declared no longer available for oil or gas exploration. 

Patricia McCarthy  "Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski have once again betrayed the American people and voted to confirm one of the most insidious persons ever nominated to a Cabinet position, "Rachel" Levine.  He will now be the assistant secretary of health.  Levine was as toxic as N.Y. Gov. Cuomo when it came to rendering Pennsylvania nursing homes super-spreaders of COVID, but he put his own mother in a hotel.  He knew what he was doing as surely as Cuomo did.

"There is much to condemn this appointment, but most serious is Levine's promotion of medication and surgery for pre-pubescent children with gender dysphoria.  Sane people realize that this is perhaps the most despicable form of child abuse that has currently won favor among trans activists.  Surely, both Murkowski and Collins know full well that the vast majority of the American people do not support such extremist views, but they apparently wanted to appear to be sufficiently "woke."

"We are all beginning to realize, too late, that being woke is a form of mass hysteria meant to undermine every essential tenet of Judeo-Christian values.  Being "woke" means adopting the new rules of the cancel culture, remaking America according to the whims of BLM and Antifa.  BLM is a Marxist, anti-American, anti–nuclear family organization that is specifically pro-transgender.  So Collins and Murkowski have revealed their inner anti-Americanism, a blatant betrayal of their constituents. " . . .

The Unfit President  The term gaslighting is used often in this article.

We ain’t seen nothin’ yet.  H.R. 1 (institutionalizing elections fraud), backdooring the Green New Deal, trillions in profligate spending, packing SCOTUS, gun control, and statehood for D.C. are in the offing.  Democrats aim to muscle through these terrible initiatives.    

 

Babylon Bee Relentlessly Hammers CNN After Journalist Frets Over Their Higher Social Media Share Counts

RedState "The more the Babylon Bee gets attacked by so-called “fact checkers” and mainstream media types, the more it punches back with a vengeance.

"My RedState colleague Brad Slager wrote earlier this week about how CNN’s Donie O’Sullivan was doing quite a bit of fretting over the weekend after analyzing the amount of social media shares a recent Babylon Bee article received in comparison to “real” media outlets during the same week:" . . .

 The New York Times Attacks the Babylon Bee Once Again, Probably Now Wishes They Hadn't   . . . "But when Mr. Trump was elected, months later, the outrage that his victory sparked quickly became a funnier punchline to the Babylon Bee than the man himself. Shortly after the election, the site’s writers joked that millennial protesters calmed down after they were given participation trophies; they wrote that a survey of the Women’s March participants indicated “100 percent of people marching on Washington were not aborted.”

"Today, the Babylon Bee has built a fan base among Republican lawmakers and even in the White House." . . .

The testing of Joe Biden

 

This Week Biden Proved To The World He’s A Foreign Policy DISASTER  . . . "In a February speech to the State Dept. employees, President Biden said, ” America is back.  Diplomacy is back at the center of our foreign policy.”  But this week, Biden and his team have proven they are a foreign policy disaster.

"During a Wednesday interview with ABC News, Biden undiplomatically said Russian President Putin is a “killer.” While Putin is a killer,  making a very public personal attack on a foreign leader is not the way to start a relationship with major world power and potential enemy." . . .

. . . "Then came China, a world power that has declared its intention of overtaking the United States as the most powerful in the world. Biden’s secretary of state, Antony Blinken, met with his Chinese counterpart in Alaska and had to listen to China’s trashing of America. Blinken made it a priority to use a public diplomatic meeting between the two nations as an opportunity to pat his own administration on the back, take a swing at the prior administration, and ignore what it promised China what it would publicly discuss at the meeting." . . .

YANG: Well, I think we thought too well of the United States. We thought that the U.S. side will follow the necessary diplomatic protocols. So for China it was necessary that we make our position clear. So let me say here that in front of the Chinese Side, the United States does not have the qualification to say that it wants to speak to China from a position of strength.   . . . 

 Mexican President Criticizes Biden’s Immigration Policies, Blames Him for the Border Surge  "The President of Mexico, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, said at a press conference that he considered Joe Biden’s immigration policies to be the primary cause of the unprecedented surge of illegal aliens at the U.S.-Mexico border in recent weeks, as reported by Fox News.

"Obrador made the remarks at a press conference, saying that “expectations were created that with the government of Biden there would be a better treatment of migrants. And this has caused Central American migrants, and also from our country, wanting to cross the border thinking that it is easier to do so.”

"Biden campaigned on giving free handouts to illegal aliens if he became president, including giving them free education and free healthcare funded by American taxpayers. Since taking power, Biden has reversed numerous Trump-era policies that successfully cracked down on illegal immigration, including catch-and-release and the “remain in Mexico” policy to keep asylum seekers from flooding American border facilities. But since then, there has been a historic spike in illegals flooding the border, dramatically overcrowding detention facilities and setting up what some experts are predicting could be the biggest surge in illegal immigration in over 20 years." . . . 

What North Korea’s First Missile Test during the Biden Administration Means  . . . "The potential replacement for Kim, should something happen to incapacitate the morbidly obese dictator, said that if the Biden administration “wants to sleep in peace for the coming four years, it had better refrain from causing a stink.” Nevertheless, President Biden literally laughed off media questions about the missile tests." . . .

 

Asian Women Are Too Damn Hot!

 Until then, I’m begging you, white men, please, for the love of God, STOP turning liberal women into your sexual fantasies!!!

Asian woman robbed, dragged by car in San Francisco

 Ann Coulter  "Does anyone else find it odd that so many Asian activists reacted to the mass murder of (mostly) Asian women last week by talking about how smoking hot they are?

"I was at law school when I first noticed the phenomenon of liberal women pretending to be outraged as a cover for bragging. Average-to-ugly girls would work up feigned indignation about how a guy had “sexually harassed” them that day, then launch into a 20-minute retelling of some compliment they’d received. A man talked to me! I think he likes me … Let’s see, how do I work this into conversation for the rest of the week?

"But it’s a peculiar reaction to mass murder.

"Now that a white supremacist mass shooter (check that, turns out he was a radical Islamic Syrian refugee!) has committed a different mass murder in Boulder, Colorado, will we see hippies on TV, denouncing the assumption that Birkenstock-wearers are all sex gods?

"No, of course not! Only liberals would think an appropriate response to an infamous crime is to talk about how sexually desirable they are. Liberalism makes everybody stupid." . . . More...

Barack Hussein Obama totally ignores the fact that a SYRIAN MUSLIM immigrant carried out the Colorado mass shooting and instead blames the massacre on “disaffection, racism, and misogyny”

. . . "The hate for whites has been going on for decades; intensified under the Great RACE DIVER Obama, and became terrifying in the last four years. Every day, whites are vilified as having “White Privilege”. The malicious WAR on WHITES is waged in America, Britain, Europe and other countries." . . .

Democrats vs. the Filibuster

 

Reason:  Will Democrats Really Nuke the Filibuster—and What Happens If They Do?   "The Senate, unlike the House, permits a minority of its members to block bills supported by a majority. Specifically, Rule 22 requires three-fifths of the Senate (60 senators) to vote to end a filibuster by invoking cloture on a bill. To end a filibuster of a proposal to change the Senate's rules, Rule 22 says you need even more votes: two thirds of the senators present and voting. (Normally that's 67 people.) In effect, Republicans can block a final vote on Democratic priorities because the Senate's rules require more votes to end debate on a bill than they do to approve it.

"A growing number of Biden's supporters want Senate Democrats to abolish the filibuster through another route: the so-called nuclear option. This is a procedural maneuver senators can use to ignore, circumvent, or otherwise change the Senate's standing rules by a simple majority vote in direct violation of those rules. Basically, they create a new precedent that is inconsistent with Rule 22 but nevertheless supersedes it." . . .

. . . "That said, the GOP's past behavior may undermine the credibility of McConnell's threat: Republicans did not retaliate when Democrats used the nuclear option in 2013, and they used it themselves in 2017 and 2019. The specific nature of McConnell's threat may also weaken its deterrent effect: By signaling that a Republican majority would be likely to go nuclear in the future, it could lead Democrats to discount the utility of adhering to the rules in the present." . . .

Biden Now Supports Ending Filibuster, Held Meeting On How ‘Big,’ ‘Fast’ He Can ‘Jam Through’ Agenda: Report   . . ."The push for Senate Democrats to eliminate the filibuster is reportedly being led by a massive far-left dark money group. The Free Beacon reports:

Fix Our Senate is steering a coalition of 60 progressive groups to pressure moderate Democrats to eliminate the filibuster, which requires a 60-vote supermajority to advance legislation. The group is a project of the Sixteen Thirty Fund, a nonprofit incubator managed by the D.C.-based consulting firm Arabella Advisors. Arabella’s network of funds is used by the nation’s wealthiest liberal donors to secretly bankroll a host of progressive initiatives.  …
