crowd he isn’t ‘losing it’

President Biden on Tuesday tried to pass himself off as a blue-collar champion of the pending $1.2 trillion infrastructure compromise, telling Wisconsin workers that he used to be a bus driver.Biden, a millionaire who reaped a windfall after leaving office as vice president in 2017, gave the folksy swing-state pitch capped off with Bruce Springsteen’s “We Take Care of Our Own.”He also brought up press accounts that he’s “losing it” mentally.“Back when I was in law school, I drove a school bus during the summers to pick up spending money,” Biden said in his speech at the La Crosse, Wis., Municipal Transit Utility.

I’ve written several times in the last few months about the skyrocketing inflation that middle America is enduring right now. The costs on some of the most commonly bought items have jumped, including food, building materials, used cars, and of course, gasoline and other types of energy.With that very negative news really setting in with voters, the Biden administration has decided to go on the offensive. In doing so, they’ve executed perhaps the most pathetic brag in presidential history. (Tweet/Video)There’s a lot to unpack here, and we can begin by asking whether this is even true or not.

Donald Trump has demanded to know who was responsible for shooting and killing Ashli Babitt at the Capitol on January 6.'Who shot Ashli Babbitt?' Trump put simply in a statement on Thursday after Nancy Pelosi announced the makeup of the select committee to look into the Capitol Riot. Unarmed Navy veteran Babbitt, 35, was shot and killed when she tried to breach a door leading to the House chamber when protesters stormed the Capitol.
The identity of the officer who shot and killed Babbitt has been shielded from the public despite multiple demands and the threat of a lawsuit from her family.
Joe Biden traveled to Surfside, Florida on Thursday to deliver remarks on the collapsed condo.Last Thursday morning a portion of the Champlain Towers South condo building in Surfside, Florida collapsed. The death toll rose to 18 on Thursday with 145 people unaccounted for. A reporter asked Biden what he learned about the collapsed condo in his meeting with Governor DeSantis and investigators.Biden immediately suggested global warming, storms and rising sea levels may have contributed to the collapse.Shameless.
McALLEN, Texas—House Republicans want to make immigration a centerpiece of the 2022 midterms. They can’t do that without fully embracing Donald Trump — a reunion that they sealed on Wednesday. The group of roughly two dozen GOP lawmakers got outsized attention for their trip to this border town simply because it was a precursor to Trump’s own visit. And Republicans soaked up that notice, with two immigration hard-liners even walking alongside migrants seeking asylum. Gov. Greg Abbott (R-Texas), whose invitation to the border Trump accepted, set the tone with an effusive introduction of the former president as having done “more to secure the border than anybody and any
White House press secretary Jen Psaki stuck to the GOP blame game Wednesday when Fox News questioned her about comments she made alleging Republicans support defunding the police.Psaki suggested that in not voting for the American Rescue Plan, Republicans were the true opponents of police funding, Fox News reported. But when she was pressed on which specific Republicans in Congress voted no on the bill in an effort to defund the police, “Psaki was drawn up short.”She responded to Fox News saying: I think actions speak louder than words. If you oppose funding for the COPS program — something that was dramatically cut by the prior administration and
President Biden called on Congress to restore fundamental voting rights as he expressed his disappointment that the U.S. Supreme Court had upheld Republican-backed rules in Arizona, rejecting claims that they discriminate against racial minorities. The 6-3 ruling, with the court's conservative justices in the majority, endorsed regulations designed to restrict so-called ballot harvesting and preventing voters from casting ballots outside their home precinct.It comes as a raft of Republican states looks to tighten voting rules amid President Donald Trump's claims that fraud cost him the 2020 election.
The Trump Organization's chief financial officer Allen Weisselberg was paraded in court wearing handcuffs on Thursday to hear charges that he failed to pay taxes for years on a company car, apartment and school fees for his grandchildren. The investigation has cost millions of dollars but could yield just tens of thousands of dollars in back tax. Weisselberg is accused of failing to pay tax on $1.76 million of perks since 2005, according to the 25-page indictment.The Trump Organization was also charged in a 15-count indictment,
Republican candidate for Georgia Governor, Vernon Jones, absolutely destroyed a CNN Reporter when the reporter went after President Trump’s attorney Rudy Giuliani.”
This was so honest and absolutely devastating for the reporter and CNN (i.e. Controlling Negroes). Vernon Jones addressed a CNN reporter who was trying to harass President Trump’s attorney Rudy Giuliani in Georgia. This was destruction. Jones said to the CNN reporter: Jones: I’ll ask you, was the drop off boxes used in 2020 elections?
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Thursday said Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming will be the sole Republican on the House's select committee to investigate the fatal January 6 insurrection on the US Capitol. "We're very honored and proud that she has agreed to serve on the committee," Pelosi said of Cheney.Cheney has in many ways been ostracized by her own party for refusing to echo former President Donald Trump's lies about the 2020 election. In May, Republicans ousted Cheney from her leadership post as conference chair. The Wyoming lawmaker stands among the small group Republicans willing to openly criticize Trump.
President Biden struck an odd tone near the site of the Florida building collapse Thursday as he talked about finding a “good” side to the disaster that left at least 18 dead and nearly 150 missing.“You know what’s good about this?” Biden said at a briefing with local leaders. “It lets the nation know we can cooperate and when it’s really important.” Biden added, “I just got back from 12 days in Europe. You wonder whether we can do this. And you’re doing it. I mean, just the simple act of everybody doing whatever needs to be done.”
Two days after he faced shameless gaslighting from White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki over which party supported defunding the police, Fox News’s Peter Doocy was back at it during Wednesday’s briefing and pressed Psaki on her false claims that the GOP (and not Democrats) have defunded the police.Doocy began with this carefully crafted question: “[Y]ou mentioned at the last briefing that you think Republicans wanted to defund the police because they did not support the American Rescue Plan. Which Republican ever said they did not like the American Rescue Plan because they wanted to defund the police?”
With the release of Jill Biden's Vogue cover, Melania Trump remains the only First Lady in recent history not to be featured in the fashion bible during her time in the White House, but she was the one who allegedly turned down a shoot with Annie Leibovitz for the magazine because she wasn't guaranteed the cover. It was widely believed that Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour had snubbed Mrs. Trump by not asking her to be featured in the magazine, but her former senior adviser and friend Stephanie Winston Wolkoff insisted that wasn't the case.Winston Wolkoff, who worked at Vogue for years before her foray into politics,

Left-wing Hollywood star Rosanna Arquette has declared she will take a knee in protest of the national anthem and U.S. flag “for the rest of my life.” Her comment comes just days after athlete Gwen Berry turned her back as “The Star-Spangled Banner” played during the U.S. Olympic track and field trials.
Arquette is the latest celebrity figure to denigrate the American flag after pop star Macy Gray called for the flag to be replaced because it represents “divisiveness and hate.”
A Washington, D.C., church frequented by President Biden says it won't get involved in what it describes as "a political issue" over Communion.
The Holy Trinity Catholic Church in the city's Georgetown neighborhood, which Biden has attended several times since taking office, said Wednesday it will not deny the Eucharist to the president over his abortion stance or "anyone else who presents themselves."
"The great gift of the Holy Eucharist is too sacred to be made a political issue," the church’s parish council said.
America’s first black billionaire, Robert Johnson, is pushing hard for the government to pay $14 trillion in reparations—and he wants his check just like everyone else. “Reparations would require the entire country to… admit that the result of slavery has been 200 years of systemic racism,” the Black Entertainment Television (BET) founder told Vice. “And for that reason, black folks have been denied $13-15 trillion of wealth and therefore we as a country now must atone by paying black people of all stripes—the rich ones, the poor ones, and the middle—out of our pocket,” Johnson told the outlet.

Office: Joe ‘Healed This Nation’ 49 replies
First Lady Jill Biden — who is featured on the August cover of Vogue after the fashion magazine broke a decades-long tradition by snubbing former First Lady Melania Trump during her four years in the White House — says people can “breathe again,” now that former President Donald Trump is out of office. Mrs. Biden said President Joe Biden came in and “heal[ed] this nation.”
“During the campaign, I felt so much anxiety from people — they were scared,” Jill Biden told Vogue. “When I travel around the country now, I feel as though people can breathe again.”
“I think that’s part of the reason Joe was elected,” the first lady added.
Vogue, the world's fashion bible, has placed Jill Biden on her cover as the epitome of fashion. She's a "goddess," they explain.
Which is a stretch, given that the first lady has sported getups like this loud red zebra print dress, or these huge-print patterned pantyhose worn with elfin spike heel ankle boots.
It goes to show that its whole schtick is politics, not fashion. After all, the big fashion bible for the world's stylish somehow managed to overlook the nation's truly stylish first lady, Melania Trump, a former super-model, who not only was quite beautiful, but age-appropriate and elegant in her four years as first lady.

NEW YORK — "Foolishness." "Unfortunate." "Generations of failures."
New York City's Board of Election is facing widespread criticism after it mistakenly included some 135,000 "test" ballots in partial results released Tuesday in its tightly-contested mayoral election.
The three-way contest — between Brooklyn borough President Eric Adams; Maya Wiley, former counsel to Mayor Bill de Blasio; and Kathryn Garcia, former Department of Sanitation head — has been upended with a murky picture of who is ahead after the election board's botched release and scores of mail-in votes remain to be counted.

A month after a gunman killed nine workers at a rail yard in San Jose, the city is taking steps to become the first in the nation to require firearms owners to buy insurance and pay fees to relieve taxpayers of the costs of responding to gun violence.
The San Jose City Council voted unanimously Tuesday night to draft an ordinance that would order gun owners in the city to obtain insurance and pay an annual fee to subsidize police responses, ambulances, medical treatment and other municipal expenses related to shootings, injuries and deaths.
The amount of the fee hasn’t been determined, but Mayor Sam Liccardo said

Report: Kamala Harris is an awful boss
31 replies
Vice President Mike Pence may be in the doghouse with conservatives but no one can say there were stories that he was a bad boss or that his office was chaotic, mismanaged, or incompetent. Things are different with Kamala Harris. According to an article in Politico, Harris’s office sounds like the real-life version of Veep, the HBO political satire that focused on the stupid, self-centered, and vicious Selina Meyer, a Vice President whose office was filled with slavish gatekeepers and self-centered staff, all of whom were incompetent. The story rings true. What's more interesting is contemplating why Democrats are going after Harris.
Are We Nazi Germany?
31 replies
I've noticed that whenever the subject of Nazi Germany is raised, someone always says something like this: "It's unbelievable that Adolf Hitler was able to manipulate and control the entire German population. It just seems impossible." (snip) Like a lot of Americans, I always assumed that America was safe from the kind of tyranny the German people experienced under the heavy hand of the Third Reich. (snip) Yet, for the past eighteen months, that's exactly what has happened in America. A nation that always prided itself on its independence and individuality was suddenly locked down.
