Suicide DISCOVERY - White House refuses to admit it

  American Wire News  Suicides by women in Afghanistan are skyrocketing according to a new report that has come out a year after President Biden catastrophically pulled US forces from the country handing it over to the Taliban.

"The despair of Afghanistan women suffering under the deadly oppression of the Taliban is palpable to all women and it should bring great shame to the Biden administration.

"One young woman was kept from becoming a doctor and then was forced into a marriage with her cousin who was a heroin addict. She felt she had nothing left to live for and proceeded to take her own life in a country where more women than men commit suicide.

“ 'I had two options: to marry an addict and live a life of misery or take my own life,” the 18-year-old stated during a phone interview from her home in central Ghor province with The Guardian. “I chose the latter.” . . .

Taliban's restrictive measures in Afghanistan have led to a distressing surge in female suicides. In a harrowing turn of events, an alarming number of Afghan women, facing limited freedoms in education, work, and movement, are committing suicide, as revealed by a investigation by… pic.twitter.com/hhvrfdZDzd

KJP: The misinformers yell loudest about misinformation

There was never any evidence Trump colluded with the Russians but the media continuously used Adam Schiff as a source to spread misinformation.

Jack Hellner - American Thinker   . . ."The media colluded with Democrats to challenge the 2016 election and call Trump an illegitimate President but now they act like anyone challenging an election is a threat to democracy.

The media colluded with Fauci and others to block an investigation of the Wuhan lab as the source by falsely calling it a disproven conspiracy theory. They sought to silence those who disagreed with government talking points and edicts.

"The media participated in spreading the “hands up don’t shoot” lie to gin up racial hate, division, and violence against white cops. How many cops have been injured or killed because of that intentional lie?

"The media has allowed Biden and others to lie for years about what Trump said in Charlottesville in order to perpetuate the lie that Trump is a racist. They know that Trump repeatedly denounced white supremacists and Nazi’s but don’t care. The media and other Democrats always play the race card because they don’t want to defend their unpopular policies.

"The media, especially the WaPo, sought to destroy Judge Kavanagh with unverified accusations. There was not one ounce of evidence showing this was true but the media and other Democrats didn’t care. They are the party of personal destruction. They seek to destroy anyone who gets in their way whether the people are black like Clarence Thomas or Tim Scott or women like Sarah Palin or Kari Lake or an orange man like Donald Trump. All that matters is that they are conservatives or Republicans.

"The WaPo even sought to destroy Christian boys for the crime of wearing MAGA hats. They were accused of being racists. There were videos showing the allegations weren’t true, but the truth hasn’t mattered for a long time." . . .

KJP’s terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day at the WH press room podium - American Thinker    . . ."Face it, Karine Jean-Pierre does have a tough job, unless you think her real job is simply to be the first black, female LGBTQWERTY press secretary, in which case she doing splendidly by remaining female (and she does have choices, we are told), Black, and so far as we know still sapphic. After all, putting a happy face on the corruption, incoherence, incompetence, and sheer stupidity of her president is a mighty challenge." . . .

White House Refuses to Say Whether Boys Playing Girls Sports Is a 'Women's Rights Issue' (breitbart.com)  

Even though she skirted the issue in Tuesday’s presser, in the past, Jean-Pierre has claimed that it is “irresponsible” to say that men playing sports as transgender women threaten the safety of biological women.

Native Americans - Indians- outraged by Washington Commanders staffer’s insult

 MSN

"The Native American Guardians Association, the group that launched a viral petition to restore the “Washington Redskins” nickname, was blasted as a “fake group” by a Washington Commanders representative.

"That insult has members outraged.

“ 'We’re not a fake group. We’re tribal-enrolled members from tribes across the United States,” Eunice Davidson, co-founder and president of the nonprofit Native American Guardians Association (NAGA), told Fox News Digital.

"Davidson calls herself a “full-blooded Dakota Sioux.” She told Fox News the petition to restore the Redskins game has close to 128,000 signatures as of Aug. 28.

“ 'We’re in it to win it,” NAGA co-founder and historian Andre Billeaudeaux told Fox News.

A heartwarming video of Nevada rangers taking down environmental activists

A heartwarming video of Nevada rangers taking down environmental activists

"It's every driver's nightmare: you're heading to the airport, the labor and delivery room, your dying parent's bedside, your daughter's elementary school play, your child's preschool pickup (which charges you $10 a minute if you're late), or just home from a long day at work, and you find yourself stuck in a traffic jam.  Infinitely worse is when that jam occurs as you're heading to Burning Man, not because of an accident or legitimate road work, but because of climate activists sitting in the middle of the road.  But in Nevada, on tribal land, the rangers did something wonderful, the kind of thing that makes you want to stand up and cheer."

UPDATE: A friend wrote with the following information:

Those are Paiute Indian Rangers doing the arrests. They are tough because they have to deal with a lot of problems with alcohol and drugs among their own people. They have a slightly different court system on the Reservation than what these protesters are expecting to receive in a White Man’s courtroom. 

One of the things I loved about this video is the instant justice.  These activists know that, once the arrest is a done deal, they're home free.  Some leftist group or Hollywood star will pay their bail, and a plea deal will be worked out that says that the three hours before their bail was paid constitutes "time served."

. . ." Stuff that works in blue cities but doesn’t seem to work in Nevada:

“We were just standing here” “What’s your badge number?” “Please, we’re just environmental protestors” “I’m not part of this”

Joe Biden's long racist record is a specter to behold

After three years of Trump’s presidency of lower tax rates, fewer regulations., low inflation, and energy independence, the economy was lifting all boats. Poverty hit all time record lows dating back to 1959. Think of how much better it could have been if the media and other Democrats hadn’t sought to destroy Trump and his policies every day.

Joe Biden's long racist record is a specter to behold - American Thinker   . . ."Maybe the reason the student thinks Joe Biden would be a good source is because she believes the congenital liar when he says he marched with the Civil Rights movement. He didn’t.

2 truths and 31 lies Joe Biden has told about his work in the Civil Rights Movement

Since the early 1970s, Joe Biden has been a serial liar when it comes to his "work" in the Civil Rights Movement. It's the equivalent of stolen valor and is fundamentally disqualifying.

When I marched in the Civil Rights movement, I did not march with a 12-point program, I marched with tens of thousands of others to change attitudes, and we changed attitudes.”

Except Joe Biden never marched in the Civil Rights Movement. Not once. He didn’t march with or without a 12 point program. It was a complete fabrication. 

In 1983 Joe Biden was a keynote speaker at the Democratic Conference in Maine and falsely claimed there to participate in sit-ins at movie theaters and restaurants to desegregate them when he was 17 years old in 1960.

Joe Biden did no such thing. In fact, nobody did.

Candace Owens Stands Up To Nancy Pelosi With An EXPLOSIVE Speech

YouTube

"What's most inspiring about Candace Owens is knowing her background. I used to drive through the rural Eastern North Carolina small Farms in tobacco country where she grew up. It was a shortcut for me to the interstate. Her grandparents raised her in one of these small farm houses dotting the rural countryside. Yet, encouraged by her grandfather, she applied herself in school and the rest is/will be history. Look at her now!"

 

Karine Jean-Pierre: I Was Picked for the Role Because I'm 'Beyond Capable'

 Karine Jean-Pierre: I Was Picked for the Role Because I'm 'Beyond Capable' (townhall.com)     She aimed for capable and missed it by a mile. TD

"Back in June, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre spoke with theGrio on multiple occasions to promote herself as "historic" and said "I cannot fail," as "it's not an option." It looks like this lack of humility is a pattern, given that she's also "beyond capable," and that that is why President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden picked her for the job.

"The remarks in question come from a podcast recorded in March with Stacy Brown that is once more gaining attention. When discussing how she was picked for the job, Jean-Pierre offered that "they decided to put me in this position," speaking of the president and first lady. "They decided that they wanted Karine Jean-Pierre, with all of the things, all of the communities that I represent, clearly being a black person, right, being a black woman. They said, we want you to represent us, we want you to represent the White House. We want to meet this moment that we're in, and we know that you are beyond capable of doing that, right. You are--you are, uh, you are experienced, and you are the voice that we want to have."

"She then told Brown that "knowing that I am representing the voice of the president, then I have to do that, right? That's the job." In that case, then, it would appear, that the president doesn't know much of what's going on or would defer to others, given how often Jean-Pierre doesn't have answers or is referring the press to other departments. She's often blamed the Trump administration for issues, too." . . .

Liberals gloated, then reality struck

Thank Tom DeLay for Trump's mugshot - Don Surber (substack.com)

. . ."Trump has the power of a innocent man falsely accused of nonsensical crimes with serious penalties for corrupt judges to impose. Americans back him as never before. The message is clear. We either fight back together or we die alone."

"Let’s start the week off right with a nice big cuppa liberal tears. For eight years, liberals dreamed of seeing President Trump in a mugshot. They finally got their wish.

"Liberals gloated, then reality struck.

"The Hill reported, “Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-N.Y.) shared a video of him laughing at the mugshot photo and saying, ‘We got you, and more to come . . . Clown, thug, crook, criminal.’”

"The tweet is here.

"Shortly afterward, the congressman realized the error Democrats made.

"He panicked and tweeted, 'This mugshot is not what you think it is.

“ 'It’s a jackpot for Trump who will use this image to raise MILLIONS of dollars from his cult — and the worst part is they are going to use it to win even more elections so they can change our laws to make it easier to steal our democracy.

“ 'It’s a symbol of everything that is wrong with our country. It is a reminder of the deep divisions that exist, the hatred that is spewed, and hate is tolerated. It is a sign that our democracy is in danger." . . .

Trump’s minacious mugshot owes a tip of his MAGA hat to Tom DeLay, the former Republican congressman from Texas who would have been the Speaker of the House when Dennis Hastert resigned and went to prison for having sex with male minors.

On October 20, 2005, DeLay had to pose for a mugshot after a Democrat prosecutor indicted him over the same kind of horseshit that Fani Willis, Alvin Bragg and Jack Smith are indicting him on. DeLay turned the mugshot against the prosecutors.

“Answer: A photo of DeLay grinning from ear to ear doesn’t pack quite the punch in a Democratic attack ad as one that looks more like the mugshot of, say, actor Hugh Grant, after his arrest in 1995 for picking up a prostitute.

. . ."Liberals know their charges are bogus, which is why they now fear Trump because his mugshot shows he will fight them in court and fight them in his second term in a manner never seen before.

"Sorry Republicans, you have no choice but Donald Trump. He has to win because if he goes down, all hope for restoring our republic goes with him. That mugshot liberals spent millions on witch hunts backfired. Their sobs are music to mine ears."

Why you rarely believe celebrity apologies on social media -

  BBC Worklife

On social media, posts of contrition from public figures are endless. They usually flop.

"At a recent concert in the European country of Georgia, rock band The Killers found themselves in the middle of a decades-long political conflict. On 16 Aug, lead singer Brandon Flowers invited a Russian audience member on stage and asked the crowd to treat the fan as a "brother". The request was met with immediate boos and even walkouts; the backlash continued after the show.

"The next day, the musicians issued a swift social media apology via X, formerly known as Twitter. They wrote, in part: "We recognise that a comment, meant to suggest that all of The Killers' audience and fans are 'brothers and sisters', could be misconstrued. We did not mean to upset anyone and apologise."

"That social media apology came the same week Tiffany Gomas apologised on Instagram for delaying an American Airlines flight; and members of the cast of the reality show Below Deck: Down Under apologised on their individual social accounts for an incident of sexual harassment that took place while filming the current season.

"In a social media-centric world, apologies have become compulsory; increasingly, audiences are demanding responses from celebrities and CEOs alike to address a range of missteps, such as mass layoffs, extra-marital affairs, the use of racist or hateful language or even criminal activity.

"It's a change from the world of sterile press releases from publicity reps. Instead, public figures now use social media to convey their contrition. They intend these apologies to meet their audiences where they are – be it Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, X or even LinkedIn – with the hope the platforms will help to mimic the good faith of a face-to-face mea culpa." . . .

Republican silence just won't stop

 

For Trump: A screaming silence from 18 of Congress’ most vulnerable Republicans (msn.com)   "The more Donald Trump gets indicted, the less certain Republican congressmen want to talk about him — especially if they’re serving in decidedly vulnerable districts that Trump lost to President Joe Biden in 2020.

"No fewer than 15 of the 18 Republican House members whose district voted Democratic in the 2020 presidential election have failed to make a single public comment in response to either of the two indictments handed down in August against Trump, a Raw Story review of news coverage and major social media shows.

"The group has become known as “the Biden 18,” and with Republicans clinging to a tiny majority in the U.S. House, their political fates are central to the GOP’s quest to retain power there.

"Only famed fabulist Rep. George Santos (R-NY) has spoken up forcefully for Trump . . ."

Prosecutorial Bolshevism - The American Spectator | USA News and Politics 

 President Trump has warned us all about exactly this form of tyranny when he said, "They are not after me. They are after you and I'm just in the way".  "Democrats embrace this attempt at one party dictatorship with unbridled enthusiasm. Witness their uninhibited glee at the multiple examples of prosecutorial misconduct that Ben Stein references in his column. Indeed, if this attempt at defeating President Trump's re-election is successful why would the left not pursue the same strategy in the future against any of their opponents ?
