Biden started to lose the traveling media on his European trip

 Thomas Lifson  "The White House press corps desperately wants to love Joe Biden, simply because he is not Donald Trump.  But the stresses and strains of traveling with an addled figurehead, with a bad temper and a need for "lids" that keep the media away from him, started to accumulate on his first European tour.  Signs of hurt, anger, and distrust are starting to accumulate.  In the end, the editors back in New York and Washington will do their best to protect Biden, but unhappiness in the ranks of those who travel with him is not a good sign for the continued ability of his handlers to keep the public bamboozled about his senescence and the identity and power of his handlers.

"On Monday, the media were kept waiting two and a half hours for Biden to speak to them, with no explanation.  My guess is he was getting jabbed with vitamins, or maybe stimulants, or God knows what sort of pharmaceuticals to revive him and make him semi-coherent.  NewsBusters reported on how it all played out on MSNBC, with this compilation of excuses for the delay of his appearance "any moment now."

. . . "About that slobbering press. Not one question to Biden about dropping our sanctions on the Russian Nordstream II pipeline? Apparently not. But even the fawning press managed to goad Biden into a classic, old-guy “get off my lawn!” moment.  CNN’s Kaitlan Collins asked Biden is he was confident that he could change Putin’s behavior. Biden snapped:

The Press Are Now Praising Joe Biden for Verbally Assaulting a Reporter

. . . "Admittedly, me being proven right on that point was just a formality, but the sheer pace at which the media turned this matter on its head is just an incredible thing to witness. Within 30 minutes, Wolf Blitzer was on CNN praising the president." . . .

. . . "It really is nuts. Collins, who did nothing wrong here, ended up accepting an apology on-air while her colleagues take Biden’s side. She’ll never admit it, but that can’t feel very good. The bond between the press and Biden is just too strong, and it can’t be broken." . . .

"And already they aren't very good at it.  Victoria's Secret's new top model, Meghan Rapinoe, a lesbian soccer star who's done a hell of a lot of modeling elsewhere and seems to like it better than soccer, is their new face and corporate consultant on wokester content.  According to W magazine, Rapinoe said:

"Any chance I get to do something outside of sport, particularly in fashion, I'm all over that," she said. "Particularly in the context of women's sports, where I feel we're very boxed in."

"Yet she doesn't project the "inclusiveness" she's been billed as projecting, given that she's been caught making a racial slur targeting Asians in her wayback, 2011, when she was 25.  Some leftists are already calling to cancel her for that.  Way to rope them in, V.S. 

"According to Sarah Hoyt of Instapundit, the whole thing looks like a loser.  Getting woke is always a formula for going broke, as we all know, but in this case, the V.S. customer base is dispensed with altogether in favor of another one.  Not exactly a formula for growth, actually: . . . "

Regardless, you’ll have to get used to it as the New York Times reported that the days of the traditional angel-winged beauty is over. Now you get Rapinoe and whatever she and her buddies are limping to the barn with." . . .

“Megan should WIN first before she TALKS,” then-President Trump tweeted in response to Rapinoe insisting “I’m not going to the f*cking White House” in an interview during the World Cup."

Democrats need to run somebody with a Spanish name, like..."Beto"

"Well, Democrats need to open the window and see what is happening in Texas.

"Down in McAllen, a GOP candidate was elected mayor.  Did I tell you that McAllen is about as Hispanic as they get?  It's hard to think of a more Hispanic city in Texas.  Nevertheless, Javier Villalobos, a very Hispanic name, shook up the political conversation on the border.

"This is the story:

A newly elected Latino Republican mayor set to represent an 85% Latino town in Texas believes many Latinos are "opening their eyes" after years of supporting Democratic candidates.

"Well, during the past election, it's amazing what happened here in South Texas," said Javier Villalobos, who is set to represent McAllen as mayor. "I think, generally, the Hispanic community is very conservative, yet, traditionally, they voted Democrat. It's amazing what happened this past election. I think our numbers as far as conservative voters were up by substantially. We finally, finally have competition in South Texas. So I think it's going to open up the doors for a lot of people." . . .

The John Lewis Act Is the Dems' Path to Permanent Power

 Ironically, meaning totally predictably, the original 1965 Voting Rights Act was necessary because Democrats were trying to prevent black people from voting.

Ann Coulter "The official position of Fox News is that the Democrats' John Lewis vote-stealing bill is "narrower" than the Democrats' "For the People" vote-stealing bill. (This will be an exhibit in my museum titled, "Stupid People Can Never Help Your Cause.")

"Yes, it's "narrower" in the sense of being 1 MILLION times worse. The John Lewis bill will do everything the "For the People" bill does -- and so much more! They just don't tell us what, exactly. The language of the bill is full of anodyne, uplifting language about equal voting participation -- but the details will be turned over to left-wing zealots at the Department of Justice, suddenly empowered to enforce voting rules so insane that no elected official would dare vote for them.

"Inasmuch as nearly every congressional Democrat is fine with the provisions in the "For the People" bill -- which are ludicrous -- imagine how much worse the "You Can't Blame Me" bill is." . . .More here...

Biden Accidentally IDs Antifa And BLM As Domestic Terrorists

Issues & Insights..."On Tuesday, President Joe Biden released his plan to tackle domestic terrorism, which he calls a “serious and growing threat.” His clear intent is to target right-wing groups, but his definition of domestic terrorists perfectly describes Antifa and the Black Lives Matter radicals.

"The “fact sheet” accompanying Biden’s “National Strategy for Countering Domestic Terrorism,” lists only two types of domestic terrorists: violent extremists who advocate for the superiority of the white race, and anti-government or anti-authority violent extremists.

"But it also describes domestic terrorism as:

‘Activities that involve acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any state; appear to be intended to intimidate or coerce a civilian population, to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion, or to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping; and occur primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States.’

"Now, who do you think fits into these categories? Which groups have acted in ways that are “dangerous to human life,” want to “intimidate or coerce” as a means to “influence the policy of a government,” and use “mass destruction” to get their ways?

"Would it be QAnon and other right-wing groups, about whom the best team Biden can seem to come up with is that “they may be on the verge of carrying out more violence in real life on Democrats and others that they perceive, however falsely, to be threats”?

"Or does that definition of domestic terrorism better describe what Antifa and BLM followers have already said and done?". . . 

Joe Biden Fiddles with Notecard Covered with Anti-Trump Talking Points in England

Breitbart

. . . "The card was accompanied by several others as One America News filmed Biden during the press conference in Cornwall. It was labeled “DOJ Talking Points” and featured an array of subjects, most all of which had to do with former President Donald Trump’s time in office.

“Trump abused power/Trump DOJ [Department of Justice] out of control,” said the top marker, with another stating “Now we have to clean it up.”. . . 

Joe Biden needs a flash card to remind him that he thinks everything is Trump’s fault.

Biden [and Democrat voters] is a joke on the world stage

Wouldn't admitting that Joe Biden can't be trusted to appear alongside "Pootie-Poot" without being humiliated before the world or risking being provoked into a dementia-raddled rage or being tricked into handing Alaska back to Russia set off most alarm bells that the American president is a national security risk and not fit for office?  

Jeff Dunham Walter

 J.B. Shurk  "Stop me if you've heard this joke before.  The Russian president and the American president decide to meet up in Geneva to work out their differences.  

" 'The Russian president says, "I'm concerned for your country, sir.  The same Big Tech companies that helped rig your election by paying off election workers and manipulating the flow of information to voters are now engaged in mass censorship of half the country as they protect your grip on power.  Your corporate news people discarded any pretense of being an investigative 'free press' long ago and openly launder propaganda from your Intelligence Community and a small collection of multinational corporate oligarchs advancing outright lies.  They spent years blaming Hillary's election loss on a 'Russian dossier' that Hillary's own campaign created, and nobody was ever brought to justice for a lie that tore your country in two and brought ours to the brink of war. 

" 'Antifa and Black Lives Matter have destroyed many of your cities and repeatedly terrorized your citizens, yet you celebrate them as heroes, while your corrupt FBI categorizes them as mere 'ideas' spreading 'hope and change.'  Your Democratic Party has closed churches and punished the faithful for practicing their religion in the face of a virus that has proved far less lethal than predicted.  At the same time, your government health agencies and medical journals conspired to cover up the origin of the illness in Wuhan, China, while allowing hundreds of thousands of your citizens to die by engaging in a disinformation campaign against certain generic pharmaceutical drugs that have been around for decades and proven highly effective in treating the new lab-created disease.  

"Your education system is teaching that racism is good if it hurts people with lighter skin color.  Your military is purging members who speak out against communism.  Your Justice Department has engaged in the worst kind of political persecution against conservatives, while shielding Democrats from criminal inquiries.  You're encouraging anger and violence against your own citizen police forces.  You're aiding drug cartels and sex traffickers at your southern border.  You and your family have been bought handsomely by the Chinese Communist Party.  And even though a majority of the American people believe you outright stole the 2020 election, you've criminalized those who say so as 'domestic terrorists,' thrown hundreds of political prisoners into solitary confinement without bail or trial, and excused the killing of an unarmed Air Force veteran for the crime of trespassing in the 'People's House,' even though there is ample video footage of Capitol Police inviting political protesters inside the building. 

" 'My apologies, Mr. President, but how is all of this possible in a country founded on liberty, a nation that has historically seen itself as the 'city on a hill' . . . "

Intelligent people consider Kamala Harris

 David Limbaugh: Kamala Harris Just Keeps Getting Worse   "No matter how mentally diminished President Joe Biden is, you have to be horrified by who waits in the wings should he leave office before the expiration of his term.

"Unfortunately, one of the many consequences of Biden’s mental decline is an impairment of judgment that manifests itself in such reckless decisions as putting Vice President Kamala Harris in charge of the border. It is like making a colicky infant the goalie of a professional hockey team. If Biden were more alert, I would suspect it was his way of seeking revenge against Harris and those who foisted her on to his presidential ticket.

"Harris has neither a clue nor a rudder on this critically important issue, which by any fair measure, now must be considered a crisis. She is a dedicated progressive, and progressives are flagrantly open borders-oriented. But even more, she is a political opportunist and will say anything to salvage her hemorrhaging reputation." . . .  

 Guatemalan President Alejandro Giammattei said the change in US government led to a change in message  . . . "Biden rushed to reverse the Trump policies that had gotten the border crisis under control. Not only did the president order an end to border wall construction, but he also ended the “Remain in Mexico” policy that required asylum seekers to remain in Mexico until their cases had been adjudicated." . . .

"Appalling to Watch": Australian Media Tears American Media Apart Over Its Fawning Over Biden

RedState  "American media is so infected with leftism that it’s ideologically slanted to the point of tipping over and it’s highly possible that the media doesn’t even know it. It doesn’t have the ability to look at itself critically, and we get very real moments where the media asks Democrats what it can do to better help them along while on air.

"The media in other countries can see it, though, and Australia’s, in particular, can’t help but dedicate a segment to it.

"On a segment during Sky News’s Kenny on Media, Australian anchors and commentators took aim at the American media for its simpering and fawning over Joe Biden during the G7 summit while the same media bashed President Donald Trump in 2018 against all reason.

"Taking aim at CNN, in particular, the anchor compared the network reporting on Biden in 2021 vs. Trump in 2018. The difference was absolutely striking, with CNN saying that Trump was in opposition to every world leader around him, while everything about Biden seemed perfect and without trouble.

“ 'They drive to give the illusion that he doesn’t have any disputes with any of these international leaders,” said the lead anchor.

"The Australian writer Sophie Elsworth said that Biden was extremely lucky to have such loyal media on his side, and it would definitely result in higher popularity thanks to his fans in the journalist sector." . . .

North Korea Defector Lashes Out at ‘Woke’ Schools: ‘Even North Korea is Not This Nuts’

 Legal Insurrection

“Columbia told us [what] we can’t talk about and I am so concerned if America is not free, I think there is no place else left that is free”

"From Fox News:

One of several hundred North Korean defectors settled in the United States, Park, 27, transferred to Columbia University from a South Korean university in 2016 and was deeply disturbed by what she found.

“I expected that I was paying this fortune, all this time and energy, to learn how to think. But they are forcing you to think the way they want you to think,” Park said in an interview with Fox News. “I realized, wow, this is insane. I thought America was different but I saw so many similarities to what I saw in North Korea that I started worrying.”

Those similarities include anti-Western sentiment, collective guilt and suffocating political correctness.

"The first warning sign came at orientation when Park admitted her love for classic literature.

""Park mentioned Jane Austen. A university staff member chastised her, “Then she said, ‘Did you know those writers had a colonial mindset? They were racists and bigots and are subconsciously brainwashing you.'” . . .
