  • Hillary Clinton: Any Woman with Self-Respect Should Vote for Biden

    Breitbart ^ | 05/09/2024 | Pam Key
    Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Thursday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that any woman with self-respect should vote for President Joe Biden. Clinton said, “Every generation has to keep alert and diligent. Not every generation necessarily has to fight, but this one does and we all do in order to take back our rights and to protect our rights. Unfortunately, it’s very tragic but not unexpected, there are people who want to turn the clock back on women. It’s not just in this country it’s happening in other places as well. Basically they want more control over women, more...

    The Federalist ^ | 05/09/2024 | M.D. Kittle
    ‘There is currently an unprecedented and a clear and present danger to the integrity of our election system,’ Speaker Mike Johnson said. Millions of illegal immigrants have poured through the U.S. southwest border since Joe Biden took the presidential oath of office in January 2021. By design. Contrary to the sentiments of the vast majority of Americans, Biden and congressional Democrats would very much like these “newcomers” to be able to vote — in November’s election, if possible. At least enough to keep the empty-vessel Democrat who currently occupies the White House for another four years. And they’re not...
  • Biden claims inflation was 9% when he took office – it was 1.4%

    President Biden claimed on Wednesday that inflation was at 9% when he entered the White House in January 2021, when, in fact, the consumer price index (CPI) was at a mere 1.4% at the time. "No president has had the run we’ve had in terms of creating jobs and bringing down inflation," Biden told CNN's Erin Burnett in an interview. "It was 9% when I came to office – 9%." It’s a notion Biden has alluded to before. In April, the president said: "Look, we have dramatically reduced inflation from 9% down to close to 3%. We’re in a situation...

    It will soon be Barron Trump’s time to step into the political spotlight. Trump, former President Donald Trump’s youngest child, who will graduate from high school next week and has largely been kept out of the political spotlight, was picked by the Republican Party of Florida on Wednesday night as one of the state’s at-large delegates to the Republican National Convention, according to a list of delegates obtained by NBC News. “We have a great delegation of grassroots leaders, elected officials and even Trump family members,” Florida GOP chairman Evan Power said. “Florida is continuing to have a great convention...
  • Biden Suffers Major Setback in Gaining Access to Ohio's General Election Ballot

    According to a new report, Ohio lawmakers ended their session on Wednesday without reaching a consensus on a proposal to include President Joe Biden on the state's general election ballot. The Republican-controlled House and Senate need to find a solution by May 9; otherwise, Biden may not appear on the ballot in November. Unlike leftist efforts to boot Trump from state ballots nationwide, this issue comes down entirely to the enforcement of a legitimate law on the books. This issue revolves around the deadline for political parties to nominate their presidential candidates. Per Ohio law, this deadline falls 90 days...

    The Hill ^ | 05/09/2024 | NICK ROBERTSON
    Former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) reflected on the end of his Speakership on Thursday while taking a dig at Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), saying he “couldn’t live” with himself if he cut a deal with Democrats to keep his job. McCarthy was ousted from the Speakership in October after eight Republicans, led by Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), backed a motion to vacate, alongside all Democrats. McCarthy said he refused to work with Democrats to save his job at the time, claiming their price was too high. HOUSE McCarthy says he ‘couldn’t live’ with himself if he did deal with Democrats...

    If you have been following Conservative media recently on the subject of the Donald Trump/Stormy Daniels trial in New York City, you have probably heard numerous commentators express the opinion that, even though Alvin Bragg’s case against President Donald Trump is largely falling apart, the fact that he is being tried by a highly biased jury, he will be convicted nonetheless. I can only say that if you are a Democrat you should be crossing your fingers that this does not happen. Let me explain why…. It’s very clear that the initial Democrat strategy to take down Trump was to...
  • Paul Ryan isn’t voting for Donald Trump because ‘character’ matters: He is very confused about character, because I have never heard him mention Joe Biden’s character flaws

    American Thinker ^ | 05/08/2024 | Jack Hellner
    Paul Ryan must be very confused about what makes a person’s “character” good or bad; according to a new report, the former congressman will not be voting for Donald Trump, because “character is too important” and therefore, he can’t get behind a guy like Trump. Apparently, Ryan intends to write in another Republican candidate, which is obviously a throw away vote and therefore, one less vote against Joe Biden. Funny, because Ryan and all the other RINOs never say a word about Biden’s character, nor are they that critical of his policies. The goal with Ryan and others is to...

    Irish Star ^ | May 9, 2024 | Lucy Sarret & Rudi Kinsella
    Joe Biden has sparked a wave of backlash over his comments on the rampant inflation affecting millions of Americans, as he oddly stated: "They have the money to spend." Within the opening three months of 2024, the American economy registered an annual growth rate of just 1.6% - significantly below the growth witnessed in the preceding quarter. Inflation lingers stubbornly above 3%, well exceeding the Federal Reserve's 2% target. On Wednesday, during his visit to Wisconsin, President Biden made a rare media appearance with CNN where he tried to hold up his administration's approach to counter rising inflation - a...

    A new report sheds light on a pervasive culture of sexual harassment plaguing a major federal entity under the watch of President Joe Biden. Law firm Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton was tasked with investigating the workplace at the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. (FDIC) in 2023, and released its 234-page report on Tuesday. Throughout the investigation, 500 individuals, close to one-in-ten employees at the entire FDIC, reported “experiences of sexual harassment, discrimination, and other interpersonal misconduct” in the workplace to the firm’s tip line. The incidents reported to the firm, the report said, “did not occur in a vacuum,” and...

Climate change hysteria is a magic force in the hands of an elite that has been preaching deindustrialization and mass culling of human beings since the early 1960s. What was once a fringe movement led by the truly insane Club of Rome and Paul Ehrlich has gone mainstream, at least among the Leftists who are at the top of the social pyramid these days. The UN, WEF, IPCC, MSM, and of course the EU and...

    Joe Biden veered off-script during an interview with a Spanish-language radio station, appearing to admit the real reason he is allowing millions of illegal aliens to enter the United States. Since Biden took office, an estimated 11 million illegal aliens, the majority of whom are military-age males, have entered the U.S. Is that incompetence? Well, if you look at who benefits, it becomes clear that the border crisis is a strategic effort to get Democrats more voters. Biden admitted this during the interview. “It’s even a bigger influx now in terms of Hispanic voters! Err, Hispanic citizens,” Biden said. AUDIO:...

    Contrary to popular conservative opinion, I don’t want this college chaos to end anytime soon. I want it to increase and metastasize and continue right up until these entitled, ugly, mutated communist jerks totally alienate every normal American. It’s already happening. The frat boys have turned. The normals are turning. At one of these colleges, you had the theater major graduation ceremony invaded by Palesimpians and the parents began chanting, “USA! USA!” Will this and the administrations’ feeble response help flush these institutions’ bloated reputations down the crapper? Yes, please! So, keep it up, communist dipwads. I’m loving this. This...

    MSNBC ^ | April 30 | By Clarissa-Jan Lim
    Rep. Matt Gaetz, whose successful maneuvering to oust Speaker Kevin McCarthy last year plunged House Republicans into chaos — and made the Florida Republican deeply unpopular among his GOP colleagues — is facing a primary challenger in his re-election bid. Retired Navy aviator Aaron Dimmock filed to run against Gaetz just ahead of the deadline on Friday. According to The New York Times, the treasurer for Dimmock's campaign committee also works for American Patriots PAC, a McCarthy-aligned group that in 2022 helped elect Republicans who were aligned with the then-speaker's agenda. Gaetz called Dimmock a “BLM supporting DEI instructor” and...

    COLUMBIA — The South Carolina Republican Party has disqualified five of its members — including two delegates to the national convention in Milwaukee this summer — from voting after revelations they contributed hundreds of dollars to independent Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s presidential campaign. According to SCGOP leadership, the five members — Keith and Olga Blandford, John and Mamie Rand, and former attorney general candidate Lauren Martel — were told they were no longer eligible to vote at the party’s May 4 convention following revelations each had paid $500 to attend a dinner at a private residence last July where Kennedy...

    Chicago residents expressed frustration and anger with President Biden ahead of his visit to the city, warning that Black voters are turning on the Democratic Party in huge numbers.

    A well known New York City real estate lawyer has reportedly prompted the state of New York to investigate Judge Arthur Engoron after he claimed to have given the judge unsolicited advice. Engoron ordered former President Donald Trump in March to pay a $454 million judgement after 30 lenders turned him away. Trump - who frequently referred to Engoron as 'crazed' and 'corrupt' - posted $175 million in bond before a deadline to avoid asset seizure as he appeals the ruling.

    President Joe Biden stubbornly refused to admit Americans' struggles with inflation might cost him the election in a rare interview Wednesday. A growing economy could inspire confidence in Biden's leadership ahead of the election, but the issue of persistent inflation could ruin that. Biden, who was in Wisconsin to tout his record on the economy and to announce an investment by Microsoft to build a factory, defended his handling of inflation.
  • Biden: If Israel Goes Into Rafah’s Population Centers, I’ll Halt Weapons Used ‘To Deal With That Problem’ — It’s ‘Wrong’

    During a portion of an interview with CNN set to air on Wednesday’s broadcast of “OutFront” that was aired on Wednesday’s broadcast of “The Situation Room,” President Joe Biden stated that if Israel goes into population centers in Rafah, “I’m not going to supply them the weapons that have been used historically to deal with Rafah, to deal with the cities, to deal with that problem.” And that while Israel will still get supplies for the Iron Dome and to give them the “ability to respond to attacks” he has “made it clear to Bibi and the War Cabinet, they’re...
