Biden tells NASA engineer Indian Americans are ‘taking over the country’
 |
| The Madness of President Asterisk |
NY Post . . . "Biden has previously drawn criticism for eyebrow raising comments about Indian-Americans.
"He said in 2006, while a senator: “In Delaware, the largest growth of population is Indian Americans, moving from India. You cannot go to a 7-11 or a Dunkin’ Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent. I’m not joking.”
"As a presidential candidate last year, Biden also struggled with controversial remarks about ethnic minorities.
"In May, Biden walked back comments telling voters they “ain’t black” if they supported a candidate other than him." . . .

As even his media apologists complain, Psaki promises Biden will do a presser -- but needs a few more weeks
The other aspect of Biden’s invisibility, his missing State of the Union speech, may be a matter of timing. Dementia often takes its worst toll in the evening, the so-called Sundowner Syndrome or Sundowner Effect.
Thomas Lifson "The failure of a newly-elected president to face questions from the media for six-and-a-half weeks (and counting) is so weird that even CNN’s Brian Stelter is noting it.
There are many ways to measure an American president's accessibility. One way is by counting press conferences. Right now, by that count, President Biden looks invisible.
CNN White House reporter Kevin Liptak shared this note with colleagues on Wednesday: "As we await word on when President Biden will hold his first solo press conference, an analysis of the past 100 years shows he is behind his 15 most recent predecessors, who all held a solo press conference within 33 days of taking office." Liptak pored through this university database to confirm the data.
"Stelter is far from alone among Biden allies raising concerns. Tom Darnell of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution joined many conservatives in citing the worrisome cutoff of Biden’s video feed. Darnell wrote:" . . . You can watch it here.

Psaki excuses Biden’s lack of solo press conference, says he’s been too busy with ‘historic crises’ . . . " 'So we’re 45 days into the Biden presidency and he has yet to hold a presser. At this point in past presidencies, every president from Reagan had addressed reporters, some of them multiple times. So why the delay and when can we expect the president to hold a press conference?” she asked Psaki." . . .
. . . “I don't think this is President Biden saying, ‘I don't want to do this,’” she said. “I think it's those around him recognizing when he does speak, it doesn't always turn out so well, like calling Republicans ‘Neanderthals,’ as he did recently in the Oval Office.” . . .
Biden will hold his first full press conference by the 'end of the month', White House claims
President Joe Biden will hold his first presidential press conference by the end of the month, White House press secretary Jen Psaski said Friday. 'We look forward to holding a full press conference in the coming weeks before the end of the month,' Psaki told reporters at the press briefing. 'And we're working on setting a final date for that and as soon as we do we will let you all know.' Psaki was asked why Biden had delayed a full Q&A with journalists, bucking a tradition to do one in the early weeks of an administration, which has been around since the Reagan years.
Lt. Gen. Russel Honore recommends 24/7 'quick reaction force' of D.C. Guard to protect the Capitol after review – as Tucker Carlson brands Pelosi pick an ‘unhinged partisan’
Obama began turning America into a South American tin-pot republic and now Pelosi chooses a general who fits the part. TD
UK Daily Mail . . . "Pelosi ordered the review after the Jan. 6th riot and brought in retired Lt. Gen. Russsel Honore to oversee it.
"Among his recommendations are a 'quick reaction force,' known in military parlance as a QRF.
"The report calls for a 'QRF that permanently resides within the DC [National] Guard by reestablishing a military police battalion and staffing it with Active Guard Reserve troops who live in or near the city year round, perpetually on active duty,' according to a report by Fox News." . . .
. . . " 'Fox News host Tucker Carlson, a conservative commentator, ripped Honore on his prime-time program Thursday while describing the recommendation for a permanent force.
" 'Honoré is an unhinged partisan extremist, nuttier than anyone affiliated with QAnon.,' he inveighed. 'He was chosen by Nancy Pelosi precisely because of this. She knew that Honoré would justify a military takeover of Washington, and she was right,' he said.
"Many Republicans had already groused about Honore, brought in to salvage the response to Hurricane Katrina in 2005, after he said shortly after Jan. 6th that the former sergeants at arms may have been 'complicit.' He also tweeted days after the riot that Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley, the first senator to say he would challenge electoral votes in states where Trump was claiming fraud, 'should be run out of DC' and called him a 'little piece of s***''.
"Gaetz and other Trump loyalists on the House Judiciary Committee wrote Pelosi to call some of Honore's public comments 'deeply offensive.'
"Immediately after the attack he accused Capitol police of have 'allowed their buddies' into the building. He also said of gun-toting Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.): authorities should 'put her stupid a** on the no-fly list.' " . . .
Legal Flatulence? Eric Swalwell Sues Donald Trump and Allies over Capital Riots
| thefederalistpapers.org |
"Swalwell’s action follows a similar suit filed last month by Rep. Bennie Thompson against Trump, Giuliani and the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys groups.
Today, I filed a civil claim against Donald Trump, Donald Trump Jr., Rudolph Giuliani, and Rep. Mo Brooks for inciting an attack against the Capitol that terrorized lawmakers and prevented us from certifying the votes of the American people." . . .
Fox News CEO Says Network Will Be Biden’s “Loyal Opposition”
 |
"Murdoch addressed a Morgan Stanley conference on Thursday and said the network will hold President Biden accountable. Murdoch hopes that by using the model of MSNBC and its non-stop opposition to everything during the Trump administration, Fox will lure back viewers who have left for more conservative news outlets. He describes it as the network’s “job”.
“The main beneficiary of the Trump administration from a ratings point of view was MSNBC … and that’s because they were the loyal opposition,” Murdoch said of the rival cable network. “That’s what our job is now with the Biden administration, and you’ll see our ratings really improve from here.”
"Fox took a hit in the rating war between competing news networks after the November presidential election. Many Trump loyalists criticized the move by Fox’s political team to put Arizona results in the Biden column as premature. Almost immediately, the call went out for the loyalists to switch over to either Newsmax or OAN, both very Trump-friendly cable news networks. Trump himself suggested that his supporters make the switch in their news viewing habits." . . .

Hypocrite Kamala Harris Silent Over Andrew Cuomo Sexual Harassment Accusations
American Lookout "Kamala Harris has been strangely silent about the multiple sexual harassment claims against New York Governor Andrew Cuomo.
"She certainly didn’t hold her tongue during the Kavanaugh hearings. In fact, she made sure she was front and center.
"It’s almost like she is avoiding commenting on Cuomo because he is a Democrat.
"FOX News reports:
Kamala Harris silent on mounting Cuomo allegations after Kavanaugh crusade, #MeToo support.....
The dream of a return to the pre-Trump party of post-Reagan amiable Democratic lookalike losers will not come true.
..."These were false charges; it is perfectly in order for a Republican to oppose Trump’s renomination, but siding with the Trump-hate movement and endorsing these unfounded, Pelosian smear jobs attacking Trump as a criminal who advocated a violent assault on the Capitol is an intolerable outrage."
"In one mighty swinging oratorical stroke of 90 minutes, Trump asserted authority over his party, arraigned the new administration for the complete failure to accomplish anything useful in the first 40 of its vaunted 100 days, and then rolled through the Biden executive orders like a bulldozer. The fiasco at the border enjoyed a full exposure, as it is replete with hypocrisy about the infamous cages, effectively sidelining the Immigration and Customs Enforcement service without abolishing it, and turning the United States into what Trump called a “sanctuary country” for whoever in the world wants to come to it.
"The Green Terror and the companion assault upon the American energy industry, the cancellation of the Keystone XL pipeline, the absurdity of wind energy—all were poured forth with great strength and fluency, extraordinarily good syntax, and to withering effect.
"Trump set the record straight on vaccines and the pandemic. His forcefully advanced claim to have saved a huge number of lives by pressing so effectively for early vaccine development and approval is evidently true and already must prevail in the minds of Americans above the frequently disorderly spectacle of the daily televised briefings he hijacked from the vice president and often permitted to turn into bear-baiting sessions for the delectation of his most insolent media enemies. It was refreshing to hear the former president lay the unconscionably prolonged shutdown of most of America’s public and secondary schools directly at the door of the greedy and irresponsible teachers’ unions, who must accept the blame for the steady deterioration of education standards in U.S. state school systems for the past 30 years or more.

I have always been very troubled by the portrayal of African-Americans in older shows and often picture much better ways to do that when wishing I could. But abolishing any movies gives those doing such a power over us they do not deserve nor that has any limits.
eBay scraps ‘canceled’ Dr. Seuss books from site . . . "EBay is barring users from reselling the six Dr. Seuss books that will no longer be printed due to their “racist” imagery — a move that comes after the books started going for hundreds of dollars on the auction site.
“EBay is currently sweeping our marketplace to remove these items,” an eBay spokeswoman told the Wall Street Journal in an email." . . .
‘They really despise America’: Gingrich pans Democrat’s push to lower voting age to 16, cancel Dr. Seuss "Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich railed against Democrats pushing to cancel Dr. Seuss, lower the federal voting age to 16, and quickly enact legislation that will radically change the political direction of the country." . . .

The Left’s New Moral Framework Includes Zero Forgiveness, Even For Dr. Seuss "Instead of a populace with a developed understanding of sin, and a prudent sense of what to punish and what to tolerate, we now have personal and social moral instability."
"There is certainly malice in the cancel culture they promulgate, but there is also desperate spiritual poverty. This is why the old Christian response to sin goes beyond morality, declaring that we all don’t just need hearts three sizes larger, we need new ones."

Mississippi passes bill blocking transgender athletes from participating in girls' sports
Mississippi Republican State Sen. Angela Hill, who sponsored the bill, said, "If we do not move to protect female sports from biological males who have an unfair physiological advantage, we will eventually no longer have female sports."
Blaze Media "The Mississippi House passed a bill Wednesday to ban transgender athletes from competing in girls' and women's sports across the state.
"The bill is now headed to Republican Gov. Tate Reeves' desk. He is expected to sign the bill, according to a Fox News report.
What are the details?
"The House passed the bill — dubbed the Mississippi Fairness Act — 81-28 on Wednesday, according to the outlet. Six representatives did not vote, and seven representatives voted "present."
"The Republican-controlled state Senate passed the bill 34-9 in February.
"The ban will apply to state schools and universities. According to ABC News, the bill would require "any public school and university that is a member of the Mississippi High School Activities Association and NCAA, among other associations, to designate their athletic teams as male, female or co-ed and restrict athletes assigned male at birth from joining female teams."
"Idaho became the first state to pass a similar law banning trans women from competing in women's sports in 2020. A federal district court, however, suspended the new law and it has yet to be enacted." . . .
Supporting transgenders, Biden said, "Every person should be treated with respect and dignity and should be able to live without fear, no matter who they are or whom they love". Including, may I suppose the fear of being bankrupted because of supporting real women against men dominating in female sports?
Yahoo ticked off because Newt told Tucker he sided with Mississippi . . . "Host Tucker Carlson had earlier accused Biden of pushing “deeply divisive” policies on LGBTQ equality and immigrant rights ― and Gingrich ran with it.
"He declared the Biden administration was in a “sprint to radicalism” to create an America of “racial deep inequality” that is “anti-white” and “anti-Asian.”
"He then uttered this head-scratcher:
“It’s an America in which transgender dominates Christianity and Judaism.”
This Durango Herald reader would disagree: Letting transgender women play women’s sports is a good thing . . . "Policing any woman’s body opens up the gates to gender discrimination. In short, excluding transwomen hurts all women. I encourage you to ask your daughters and your granddaughters about this issue. I feel you’ll find they don’t mind sharing space. Oppression is taught, not inherent. I am excited for the opportunities opening up for all women with Executive Order 13988." Jessie Ribera
CENSORSHIP SHOCKER: YouTube Deletes All Copies of President Trump’s CPAC Speech, Suspends RSBN for 2 Weeks for Carrying It
100percentfedup "The American people hate Joe Biden. He receives almost no viewership on his videos or events, is the most disliked president in YouTube history, and has the lowest transparency of any president in recent history. He also has trouble remembering what he is doing. Joe Biden is such a senile authoritarian puppet, that the media eerily cut off the video feed on him when he accidently attempts to speak for himself. The man appears to no longer have a mind of his own.
"President Donald Trump on the other hand is beloved by the majority of this country. That is why when Trump gave a speech at CPAC on Sunday, it garnered over 30 million views.
"Big Tech and the establishment who are in the tank for Biden and globalism know this is a huge problem for them. They expected that they crushed Trump and his supporters when they erroneously blamed them the unrest at the capitol on January 6th and allegedly stole the election from him. However, his political movement has only seemed to swell in popularity. So, now they have to take even more Huxleyan measures to try to stamp out his message." . . .
Unions Must Stop Prioritizing Politics Over Jobs
..." A California Grocers Association study recently found the state’s hazard pay ordinances could raise grocery costs for the average family of four by $400 a year while hundreds of workers, most of them UFCW members, will lose their jobs. It’s a pyrrhic victory that may be repeated regardless of the impact on workers because it generates good headlines for the unions."
"At their peak, unions represented more than a third of American workers. Now, after several decades of continuing decline, less than 10% of workers in the private sector are part of organized labor. And with so much of American manufacturing having moved offshore to escape the less-than-friendly business climate the politicians created, that’s not really news.
"What some people don’t know is how union leadership has continued to cozy up to progressive politicians pushing policies that are antithetical to the interests of the rank and file.
"On his first day in office, President Joe Biden – who campaigned as a moderate — signed an executive order killing the Keystone XL pipeline and, with it, more than 10,000 good-paying union jobs. Among Democrats, that’s par for the course. The vocal progressives dominating the Democratic Party these days are in command of the agenda.
"In another case, the United Food and Commercial Workers’ Union has been pushing for at least ten months for “hazard pay” that doesn’t mesh with the interests of its members. UFCW International President Marc Perrone is demanding some of the nation’s largest grocery chains commit to the pay bump because of COIVD.
"Initially, he wanted $2 an hour. Now he wants $4, even $5 an hour in several West Coast cities. For this, he’s finding support from city and county politicians whose campaigns are union-funded.
"Shortages caused by the lockdowns have made it challenging for grocers and their frontline employees. The UFCW’s on them, after they’ve already invested billions to improve safety measures ignores the facts and smacks of ingratitude. Some grocery chains, like Kroger, are already offering $100 bonuses to employees who get a COVID vaccine.
"But what of what the union wants? A letter to the editor recently appearing in the Los Angeles Times said it well: “I fully agree that the grocery store workers are heroes. However, how does requiring them to be paid more solve the problem here? Are we saying to workers that it’s OK if you get sick, so long as you are paid more?' ” . . .
‘That Is A Lie!’: Leo Terrell Blasts Teachers Union President For Saying Reopening Schools Promotes ‘Structural Racism’ "Civil rights attorney Leo Terrell said Thursday that “it’s a lie” for a teachers union president to suggest that reopening schools will promote “structural racism.” “I know what [the] term [structural racism] means.

“You are quoted twice in the last eight months,” the email said, in part. “I know that Maryam is a common Iranian name, but I will not make any assumptions without a legitimate method,” the email continued. “Could you tell me how you racially self-identify or point me to a citation on your identity?”
