Biden's presser: Who was more corrupt, Biden or that ridiculous press?

Carville on Biden Presser: WH Press Corps ‘Ridiculous’   . . . "On Biden being asked if he will run in 2024, Carville said, “Well, first of all, he’s going to say he’s going to run. He won’t be two months into a four-year term and say I’m not going to run. Then some fool asked if Harris would be his running mate, please. The White House press corps, I give a D-plus, and that’s only because I’m notoriously an easy grader. Some of this stuff was utterly ridiculous. I’m serious, Ari. No one is going to say I’m not running for reelection, so you’re a lame duck two months into your term?”

"He added, “All the questions being driven by Fox News and Newsmax on the so-called border crisis, which is a border problem, not a crisis, and not one question about COVID. Again, I’m changing my D-plus to a D. The more I think about it, the worse it is.”

Biden's 'News' conference lite  "Biden obviously had a stack of well ordered notes on his podium.  No paper was flipped.  He barely blinked.  He called on ten predetermined "diverse" people.  He was not surprised by any question.  He picked the reporters by first name.  He conspicuously did not call on the representative from Fox News."

"When it started, it was a case of "queue the predictable questions."  Biden would look down at his notes, then look the camera in the eye, advertise his good-guy status, and skewer Trump whenever possible." . . .

Without the filibuster Democrats will have a permanent hold on power.

2day Pres Biden again falsely stated when he came to Senate u had to talk until collapse to filibuster getting to final vote. Never the rule He’s confused w Mr. Smith Goes to Washington. Been 60 votes since 1975, 2/3 before.

Morning Greatness: Biden Dodges Softballs at Presser   "The press pool at Thursday’s briefing was limited to 25 reporters and Biden only took questions from a list of journalists whose names and outlets he read from a cue card.

"Trump noted in the interview how Fox News’ Peter Doocy was not called upon by Biden. 

"In Thursday’s press conference, Biden at times lost his train of thought, forgetting questions and pausing for extended periods of time.

. . . "Biden only took questions from a list of journalists whose names and outlets he read from a cue card. A photo of the card shows circled numbers around select reporters." (Below)

UK Daily Mail noticed Biden's cheat sheet. 

This May Have Been the Dumbest Line of Biden's Painful Press Conference

. . . "But perhaps one of most ridiculous parts of the press conference, when Biden actually succeeded in getting through a sentence without losing his train of thought, was when he made an absurd attack on Republican efforts to strengthen election integrity in various states.

“ 'What I’m worried about is how un-American this whole initiative is. It’s sick. It’s sick,” he said. “I’m convinced that we’ll be able to stop this, because it is the most pernicious thing— this makes Jim Crow look like Jim Eagle.”

"Yes, he actually said that." . . .

Media Slobbers Over Biden's Press Conference Performance, but Even With One Reporter, Reality Creeps In

Fact-checking Biden’s press conference

 NY Post  "President Biden’s first press conference Thursday turned out to be a trip into an alternate reality. In fact after fact, his statements were either grossly misleading or downright false. Here is just a small sample:

"Biden says: “We’re sending back the vast majority of families who are coming” to the border.

"Reality: The actual figure is about 13 percent of families being turned away.

"Biden says: “The idea that I’m going to say, which I would never do, if an unaccompanied child ends up at the border, we’re just going to let them starve to death and stay on the other side, no previous administrations did either, except Trump.”

"Reality: Trump never sent any kids off to starve to death. Many were flown back to their home countries.

"Biden says: “No, I haven’t” ever rejected bipartisanship.

"Reality: His executive orders and legislative agenda couldn’t be more divisive or partisan. His COVID relief pack was passed zero Republican votes. And he refuses to deal with any Republicans who won’t accept 100 percent of his agenda.

"Biden says: “I hoped to get 100 million shots in people’s arms in my first 100 days. We met that goal last week by Day 58, 42 days ahead of schedule.”

"Reality: The nation was already on course to well surpass that goal when he took office." . . .

Michael Flynn Family Files $75 Million Defamation Suit Against Blue Anon’s CNN

John Nolte

Hopefully, this country will come to its sense and we will someday open up the libel laws to stop this corporate-funded media  defamation. In the meantime, though, if you can prove actual malice — and CNNLOL is only about actual malice — you can make a big difference and maybe even make these Blue Anon monsters think twice before they smear the next person.

Nesaranews

“Michael Flynn’s brother and sister-in-law have sued CNN for $75 million, according to documents filed in New York federal court,” reports the far-left Daily Beast.

"According to the suit, the Flynn family says CNNLOL — an extremist, far-left Blue Anon outlet that spreads conspiracy theories, fake news, and promotes blacklists and violence against Trump supporters — lied about them being followers of QAnon.

"In early February, CNNLOL did a segment called “CNN[LOL] Goes Inside A Gathering Of QANON Followers” that included a video from Ret. Gen. Flynn’s Twitter account of a 4th of July get-together with his family. The video was of Flynn’s extended family, including his brother and sister-in-law, Jack and Leslie Flynn.

"Here’s the CNNLOL segment:

Biden’s Administration Choices Are A Disgrace – Including Rachel Levine

 Charles "Sam" Faddis

"In the Biden administration everything is driven by identity politics. The nominee for Interior Secretary is someone who supports an anti-American North Korean front group and is supported by the Communist Party of the USA (CPUSA). All that matters, though, is that she is Native American.

"The new Treasury Secretary is completely compromised by the same financiers and Wall Street firms she is now expected to control and regulate. Never mind. She is female.

"So, it is with Rachel Levine, Biden’s choice for Assistant Health Secretary. Levine, as Pennsylvania’s Secretary of Health, presided over a COVID-19 nursing home debacle in Pennsylvania perhaps only second to that in New York State. Levine has very problematic views about gender transition related surgery and hormone treatment for minors. No big deal. Levine is transgender. That is all that counts.

"Let’s pretend, though, for a moment that we actually consider a person’s qualifications for a job to be of interest. Let’s assume, just for the sake of argument, that maybe we want to know something about the character of a nominee before accepting them for a senior position in the federal government. How does Levine stack up then?

"On March 18, 2020, Levine’s Pennsylvania Department of Health issued a document entitled Interim Guidance for Nursing Facilities During COVID-19 (3/18/20). The document provided instructions for nursing home facilities in Pennsylvania “regarding best practices in nursing homes” related to COVID-19. The document stated in part, “Nursing care facilities must continue to accept new admissions and receive readmissions for current residents who have been discharged from the hospital who are stable to alleviate the increasing burden in the acute care settings. This may include stable patients who have had the COVID-19 virus.”

"In short, just as in New York, nursing homes were required to readmit COVID-19 patients and continue to care for them in their facilities." . . .

"The results were catastrophic. A nurse at a Pennsylvania nursing home who was interviewed anonymously by a local television station had these comments on what ensued." . . .

Biden Unhinged: Calls Attempts To Stop Election Fraud ‘Sick’ And ‘Un-American’

So, what’s Biden really so mad about? That Democrats won’t be able to establish a one-party state?. . . 

Issues & Insights has done a tremendous job of tracing all of the phony claims Biden was alluding to, and distorting in his press conference, and leaves Biden politically flopped out in a puddle of his own bile. It's a must-read here, and here is a sample:

 Issues & Insights  "Un-American.” “Sick.” “Despicable.”

"What got President Joe Biden in such a lather? Was it the children packed liked sardines at border detention facilities? The recent mass shootings? China’s human rights abuses?

"Nope. Biden flew off the handle over the fact that several states are taking steps to reform their election laws in ways he doesn’t like.

“ 'What I’m worried about is how un-American this whole initiative is. It’s sick,” he said. “It’s sick … deciding in some states that you can’t bring water to people standing in line waiting to vote. Deciding you’re going to end voting at five o’clock when working people are just getting off work. Deciding that there will be no absentee ballots under the most rigid circumstances.”

“The Republican voters I know find this despicable,” he added later. “Republican voters.”

"He wasn’t done. “I’m convinced that we’ll be able to stop this because it is the most pernicious thing. This makes Jim Crow look like Jim Eagle. This is gigantic, what they’re trying to do.”

"So what is it that states are trying to do? First, it’s worth clearing up a few things Biden rattled off.

"There is a debate in Georgia about a provision regarding bringing voters food and water while they are waiting to vote. Is that un-American? Not when you consider that such “services” could amount to illegal electioneering. But maybe Biden thinks those restrictions are un-American, too.

"That 5 p.m. poll closing time? He’s apparently referring to a plan in Texas that would have polls close in the first week of early voting at 5 p.m. But they’d be open until 7 p.m. in the second week of early voting. And the point of the measure is to create a uniform rule across the state, instead of the wide variations seen in the last election.

"And the “no absentee ballots” is bogus. States are trying to rein in mail-in voting that caused massive problems in the last election." . . .

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. "

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

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.' " . . .
