  • Biden Compares Losing His Son to Israelis Being Heinously Murdered by Terrorists

    President Joe Biden regularly and inappropriately compares the burden of losing his late son, Beau, to those suffering more significant and brutal losses of their loved ones. Every tragedy that occurs, Biden brings up the death of his oldest son who died at age 46 after battling brain cancer— in a hospital bed surrounded by doctors and his family. On the contrary, Israelis are watching their loved ones be murdered in the most heinous ways imaginable right before their eyes. Nevertheless, it will always be painful and sad when a parent has to bury their own child. However, the problem...

    It is a poor worker who blames his tools, though apparently that wisdom hasn’t reached the Oval Office. That’s where widdle Joey Biden is crying about his predicament and blaming the help. He believes his aides are failing him and it’s their fault he’s as popular as poison ivy. NBC News says he’s upset the slugs can’t dream up a winning message for Democrats this fall and are undercutting his image of being a straight-shooter by cleaning up things he says. The blame game is pathetic, but the last item is especially a howler, given Biden’s long career as a...
  • Uvalde Police Department Releases Statement: Thankful “Officers Did Not Sustain Any Life Threatening Injuries”

    The Gateway Pundit ^ | May 29, 2022 | Michael Robinson
    The Uvalde Police Department has come under scrutiny for allowing as many as 78 minutes to pass before entering the room where a shooter massacred 19 children and two adults at Robb Elementary School last Tuesday. Amid intense controversy about the actions, or lack of actions, by the local police, the department released a statement regarding the events of last Tuesday. In the statement, officials said, “Our entire department is thankful officers did not sustain any life threatening injuries.” The line comes as a shock to many, considering the failure of police to act in a timely manner, which resulted...
  • Record gas prices: Journalists, celebrities offer ‘tone deaf’ opinions on oil, energy as fuel prices surge

    Fox news ^ | 03/10/2022 | Brian Flood, David Rutz
    Journalists, pundits and liberal celebrities alike have offered an onslaught of energy takes as the Russia-Ukraine crisis unfolds and surging gas prices cause pain at the pump for average Americans. Americans are experiencing the highest gas prices since the 2007-09 financial crisis, with the national gas price average reaching more than $4 per gallon – the highest average to date, according to AAA. To combat the shocking price increase, many have echoed White House talking points lecturing Americans to buy more electric cars. Other liberal pundits have insisted Americans should simply eliminate oil dependence altogether without offering a viable alternative.

    Remember when BMW wanted to charge drivers to use Apple CarPlay? How about the subscription required for the Mercedes EQS's rear-wheel steering functionality in Europe? It turns out that luxury marques aren't the only ones looking to cash in on that sweet, sweet software as a service cash: Toyota has been testing the waters by making the remote start functionality on your proximity key fob part of a larger connected services subscription.Yes, it appears the pay-to-play ethos that's spreading around the industry has reached the world's largest automaker.

    ...."McAuliffe made several mistakes, unfortunately," his campaign volunteer said. "He allowed himself, rightly or wrongly, to be defined as anti-parent. Stuff like that does not sell in heavily suburban Virginia." He also said President Biden and Congress’ inability to pass their multitrillion-dollar spending bills dragged Democrats' favorability down nationwide, hurting McAuliffe as a result.

    President Joe Biden on Wednesday joked with an NBC reporter about the evacuation in Afghanistan as thousands, including many Americans, struggle to get out of the war-torn country as the Taliban takes over. Biden, after he made remarks at cybersecurity summit featuring several prominent business executives, was asked by NBC's Peter Alexander what he would do if Americans are still in Afghanistan after the August 31st deadline to withdraw U.S. troops. 'You'll be the first person I call,' Biden joked in response. White House press secretary Jen Psaki defended Biden's remarks pointing out he has given numerous updates and gotten...

    To those who voted for President Trump, I understand your disappointment tonight. I’ve lost a couple of elections myself. But now, let’s give each other a chance. It’s time to put away the harsh rhetoric. To lower the temperature. To see each other again. To listen to each other again. To make progress, we must stop treating our opponents as our enemy. We are not enemies. We are Americans. The Bible tells us that to everything there is a season — a time to build, a time to reap, a time to sow. And a time to heal. This is...

    Former First Daughter Chelsea Clinton talked about how she is working to "erode" white privilege out of her children during a conversation with Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) about voting rights in America. The conversation was part of a "Women for Biden" online event. "You know, congresswoman, certainly my children are young, but we believe they're young but still citizens so we talked about the ratification of the 19th Amendment and women's equality day but how fundamentally incomplete that victory was," Clinton said. According to the former first daughter, the 19th Amendment was a "flawed victory" because "indigenous and black women...

    Former New York City mayor and 2020 presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg said Monday he would vote to convict President Donald Trump if he were in the Senate, but added that he views impeachment as “not good” and “a political process.” The billionaire 2020 hopeful’s comments came during an interview with NBC’s “Today Show,” when host Craig Melvin asked how he would advise senators who are acting as jurors in the upcoming impeachment trial. “The president’s actions, eventually, as information came out, it convinced me he should be impeached,” Bloomberg answered, adding that he thinks there should be a fair trial....

    Buoyed by two significant trade accomplishments, President Trump is heading this week to the World Economic Forum’s annual high-level gathering in Davos, where the organizers have made climate a major focus. Trump is scheduled to deliver an address to the meeting in the Swiss Alps on Tuesday morning, the same day as the teenage Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg appears on two panels – one on “Forging a sustainable path towards a common future,” the other entitled, “Averting a climate apocalypse.” “How to save the planet” is one of the chosen themes for Davos 2020, and WEF founder and executive...

    A little more than two years ago, I wrote a column titled, “What margarine can teach us about climate change.” Inspired by a book excerpt in National Geographic, that column summarized just one example (the U.S. government’s promotion of margarine and synthetic oils over actual dairy products to reduce heart disease) of how politicizing science can have devastating results. As the “climate crisis” wunderkind have been “striking” all over the world, led by grumpy guru Greta Thunberg, I couldn’t help but think of that column, and the many other “crises” we’ve been warned about over the years that never panned...

    When a new supercar arrives, the motor gets the glory. Which is as it should be—anytime an automaker throws big money into designing an exotic spaceframe and 200-mile-per-hour bodywork, it needs muscle to match. The wrong engine, meanwhile, can sink a supercar's reception and reputation (look at the Jaguar XJ220 for a lesson in how a whole car suffers if it's got a weak heart). Aston Martin can't be accused of skimping on the heart of its new halo car, the $3.2 million, out-of-this-world Valkyrie. The new supercar's motor spins out 1,000 horsepower on its way to an 11,100 RPM...

    Ford’s new Mustang GT Shelby 500 is a 700-horsepower monster Ford says is the quickest street-legal Mustang in history. The latest iteration of Ford’s Shelby GT variant of the iconic Mustang pony car inherits the name of racer and engineer Carroll Shelby, who worked with Ford to design the first GT500 in 1967 — a car that now is considered a legend among American muscle cars. The new version, which debuted at the Detroit auto show on Monday, goes from 0 to 60 miles per hour in the “mid-3 second” range, Ford said. It borrows technology from Ford’s GT super...
