WASHINGTON, Feb 20 (Reuters) - The U.S. will announce a major package of sanctions against Russia on Friday over the death of opposition leader Alexei Navalny and the two-year Ukraine war, President Joe Biden said on Tuesday. Biden, speaking to reporters as he departed on a trip to California, did not give details but said he would provide more information about the package on Friday. The package will "hold Russia accountable for what happened to Mr. Navalny" and for its actions over the course of the war in Ukraine, White House national security spokesperson John Kirby said, without providing details...

Sure, Brandon does more in one hour than most people do in a day, but filling up a diaper really shouldn't count. He's toast. Has two brain cells to rub together and they're gettin' worn out. Took the chicom bribes and sold secrets to this country's enemies. Gropin' Joe should be behind bars right now. How much longer can the criminal survive? One broken hip can end it all. Cash prizes should be awarded. Place yer bets.

“Having children is saving the world.” It’s a simple message that’s increasingly true in a world where underpopulation is the biggest crisis no one is talking about today. Twitter/X owner Elon Musk understands. He is frequently noting the lack if people in nations around the world and how it is leading to worker shortages and the inability of some nations to economically support their aging populations. Musk posted the message on Twitter recently. And the pro-life diaper company EveryLife unveiled the billboard on Wednesday as part of its “Make More Babies” campaign that is meant to go along with this...

It seems as though the difficulties of teaching elementary school never end for teachers. Between lesson planning, keeping a group of children together and quiet in the hallways, and dealing with parent complaints, the job is certainly not for the weak. However, it may be more challenging now than ever as diaper changing is added to many kindergarten teachers' ever-growing list of responsibilities. Kindergarten teachers are realizing that most of their students were never potty trained. Many teachers are asking themselves, why now? Up until recently, kindergarten students were fully potty-trained and had been for years, with the exception of...

Very interesting projection.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. - Medicaid will soon cover the cost of diapers for the first two years of a child’s life in Tennessee. “The cost of diapers is outrageous,” said Linda Buckingham as she held her 1-year-old niece. “It’s ridiculous, really.” “It will help my mom a lot,” said Treazon Ali. “It will help my sister a lot.” Tennessee will become the first state to cover diapers under Medicaid, according to the National Diaper Banks Network. “That is so cool,” said Machelle Jackson, a 10-year-old shopping with her mom. “I feel like it's cool for the parents that really don't have...

Yahoo! Finance tried one of the most pathetic tactics to deflect responsibility away from President Joe Biden for America’s ongoing supply chain crisis: blaming pro-lifers for the diaper shortage. The publication belched up a wild Oct. 9 propaganda story with an insane headline: “America is facing a diaper crisis, and the anti-abortion movement is making it worse.” Yahoo! Finance senior editor Sandra Salathe made the arbitrary connection that diapers may be in shorter supply because crisis pregnancy centers focus on protecting life rather than encouraging abortion. Salathe wielded leftist pro-abortion group Equity Forward to lambaste pro-life groups like Heartbeat International...

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) on Friday signed a $1.2 billion tax relief package, the largest tax relief package in the state’s history, which, in part, makes key baby items tax free for one year. The governor signed what he described as the “largest tax relief in the history of the state of Florida,” giving relief to millions of Floridians on key items that have skyrocketed over the course of Biden’s presidency. That includes “really critical needs like gas, diapers, disaster supplies, tools for skilled trades, [and] recreational activities.” “Families are going to be able to save for things that...

In a grimly ridiculous moment Thursday, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki claimed that Joe Biden wasn’t being serious when he said that “No one expected the sanctions to prevent anything from happening,” with Russia and Ukraine, moments after announcing more sanctions. Biden stated that “Putin’s not going to say ‘oh, my God, the sanctions are coming,’” almost in the same breath as having announced that he would bring more sanctions on Russia. Psaki claimed “That’s not exactly what he meant,” without providing a better explanation for what the hell Biden was talking about:

ROME (AP) — President Joe Biden wrapped up his time at the Group of 20 summit on Sunday trying to convince Americans and the wider world that he’s got things under control — and taking Russia, China and Saudi Arabia to task for not doing enough to deal with the existential threat of climate change. Biden’s overall take on his efforts: On climate change, he’s got $900 billion planned for renewable energy, and Congress will vote this coming week. On supply chains, he has plans to make the ports run better and tamp down inflation. For workers, he’s building an...

The Biden administration for the first time on Tuesday allowed news media inside a Customs and Border Protection facility facing unprecedented overcrowding due to the recent surge of migrant children and families. The photos revealed a severely overcrowded tent structure with more than 4,000 people, including children and families, were crammed into a space intended for 250, and the youngest were kept in a large playpen with mats on the floor for sleeping. Representatives from the press were allowed inside a temporary tent facility in Donna, Texas, which was meant to hold 250 migrants but had a population of more...

“It’s not law, she’s going to phone the police over a policy.”... British supermarket Morrisons called the police on a disabled man who was medically exempt from wearing a face mask after attempting to make him wear a yellow sticker. Yes, really. The clip shows the man involved in a confrontation with a security guard and staff as they try to make him wear the sticker. The man calls them out by asking how a sticker could stop the spread of coronavirus. When he refuses to wear the sticker, he is asked to leave the store as staff claim they...

Shirts and shoes are still required, but you don’t need masks to enter one Florida restaurant. Or “face diapers,” as the restaurant calls them. BeckyJack’s Food Shack in Spring Hill, Fla., shared a Facebook post Sunday that reminded potential patrons that the only things they need to bring are an appetite and a wallet. And if they decide to bring a smile, by golly, people would actually see it. “Howdy Folks! Happy Valentine’s Day A friendly reminder that we DO NOT require Face Masks,” the post read. BeckyJack’s also posted a sign in its window that garnered some attention. “Face...

The Austin Diaper Bank serves 10,000 Central Texas families and distributes close to one million diapers each year. The need has doubled since last year... “Diapers are a basic need item just like food, water, shelter for every parent,” McDaniel said. “If you ask any mom what would you do if you didn’t have enough diapers?

A lot of the clients that we serve have told us some pretty awful stories where they are trying to find a way to provide a...

The 2.2 million diapers are being bought with funds provided in the February border spending bill for the DHS. The bill included “$192,700,000 for improved medical care, transportation, and consumables to better ensure the health and safety of migrants who are temporarily in [U.S. Customs and Border Protection] custody,” according to a congressional Explanatory Statement of the provisions. The money is also being used to fly migrants from the border to their target job sites and homes in the United States.

Reps. Barbara Lee (D-Calif) and Rosa DeLauro (D-Conn) are proposing a federal grant program that would provide $100 million per year to cities to fund diapers. “As we have seen, many of our urban centers are struggling to deal with people defecating in the streets,” Rep. Lee said. “On the one hand, the accumulating piles of excrement pose a health hazard. On the other hand, cities want to respect people’s right to pursue happiness in their own way. Our proposed legislation bridges this gap by providing the funds to pay for the distribution of adult diapers in these feces bestrewn...

An assembly line of volunteers convened Wednesday evening in Midtown with one goal in mind: arranging 20,000 packs of diapers and sorting thousands of copies of a classic children's book, A Very Hungry Caterpillar. The care packages to be delivered to Bronx families in need. "We add two diapers to make 50," volunteer Calondra McArthur said as she prepared a care package. "We get a book that includes a tip sheet and then we wrap it up tight." Among the volunteers was Chelsea Clinton. The Clinton Foundation was behind the day of action, part of an effort to mobilize people...
