Second look? John Kirby moves to White
House communications job

Original Article

Posted By: Dreadnought, 5/21/2022 12:47:15 AM

Is this an admission that Karine Jean-Pierre has not exactly risen to her new position as White House press secretary? Yes, if you ask me. Pentagon spokesman John Kirby is a consummate professional, regardless of your political party of choice. The fact that he is being moved into the White House now that Jen Psaki (Psaki bombs) is gone is pretty much an admission that the wrong choice was made for her replacement. Kirby’s current official title is Assistant Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs. He’s clearly comfortable working in Democrat administrations and on lefty cable news networks, as he did at CNN from 2017 to 2021

Hmmm. They're planning on replacing a bLACK-lesbian-child abuse survivor with a white-cis male. It will be interesting how they make the switch.

She'll quit, sooner rather than later. Regardless of the intersectional boxes that Karine checks that have shielded her up to this point, the high-viz, high-pressure demands of being WH Press Sec'y will eventually get to her. Every time she opens her mouth, it underscores her deficiencies for the job. Hence the transfer of Kirby to prepare for that eventuality.

Many decades ago, I taught a graduate seminar in Human Resource Management, and one of the course requirements was that each student had to make a professional presentation, with proper slides, (Power Point did not exist at the time) handouts, and to take questions from the other students. The presenter was then evaluated by the other students, but no grade was attached to the presentation. It was pure professional development. Most of my students handled the assignment well, and after graduating, some of them told me how helpful it was. A few students, though, tried to wing it, and when faced with questions, froze like the proverbial deer in the headlights. The little black lesbian press secretary ( let's call her Miss Diversity to the third power) would have, I suspect, been one of my students who didn't do well.

In order to get away from being pooped on by the leftist Democrat crowd, the only way that Biden will be able to appoint John Kirby as his new press Secretary is to first make a big deal of promoting Karine Jean-Pierre to some high legal executive position, like making her the next US Ambassador to Haiti.

Disaster or outlier? Biden plummets to
36% in new Reuters/Ipsos poll

Posted by Dreadnought 5/25/2022 10:26:10 PM Post Reply
Just one week ago, this same pollster offered an outlier single-digit gap for Joe Biden’s job approval rating, 42/50. Suddenly, however, the Reuters/Ipsos tracking poll has Biden at a -23 gap and 36/59 on overall job approval. That puts Reuters/Ipsos on the other side of the outlier category, with a gap fully ten points larger than the latest survey from … Rasmussen Reports. What happened? U.S. President Joe Biden’s public approval rating fell this week to 36%, the lowest level of his presidency, as Americans suffered from rising inflation, according to a Reuters/Ipsos opinion poll completed on Tuesday. The two-day national poll found that 59% of Americans disapprove of Biden’s job performance.

More voters trust congressional Republicans on gun policy than Democrats, a Politico/Morning Consult poll released Wednesday found. The poll asked 2,005 registered voters who they “trust more to handle” gun policy. Forty-four percent trusted Republicans, while 41 percent trusted Democrats, a three-point gap and above the margin of error of two percent. Sixteen percent had no opinion. On Tuesday, 19 children and 2 adults were killed in a mass shooting at a Uvalde, Texas, elementary school. The shooter was 18 years of age and old enough to legally purchase a firearm. The Associated Press reported: The Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District said the active shooter situation was reported

Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) says she doesn’t believe “that DC solutions are realistic” for stopping massacres like yesterday’s in Uvalde, Texas. NBC’s Jake Sherman said Sinema stopped reporters outside the Senate chamber because she “had something to say.” “This is rare” for her, he added. Sherman asked if Sinema would be willing to “set aside” the filibuster to force some kind of gun control measure through the evenly divided Senate. Her fellow Democrat Senator, Jon Tester of Montana, waited mere hours after Tuesday night’s slaughter to press for universal background check legislation. “Come on guys, kids got killed yesterday for Christ’s sakes,” he told colleagues this morning.

A recount will be held for the Republican Pennsylvania Senate primary in Pennsylvania, the state’s top elections official announced on Wednesday. Dr. Mehmet Oz, the TV show host who was endorsed by former president Trump, led former hedge-fund manager Dave McCormick by 902 votes after all counties submitted unofficial vote tallies on Tuesday. An automatic vote recount is triggered under Pennsylvania law when a candidate wins by less than 0.5 percent of the vote, and Oz won the primary by 0.08 percent. “I want to emphasize that this automatic recount is intended to ensure that the count is accurate and that there is confidence in the results and outcome,”

For some of the officers who responded to the Texas school shooting, it was personal. When gunfire rang out at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, agents from Customs and Border Protection immediately responded. Law enforcement sources tell ABC News Border Patrol agents' children were inside. One CBP agent was shot, but is expected to make a recovery, sources said, one of at least a dozen agents -- both on-duty and off-duty -- who rushed to the scene.

The 19 children and two teachers killed in Tuesday's elementary school massacre in Texas were in the same classroom, where the gunman "barricaded" himself and fired indiscriminately, a law enforcement official said Wednesday. Those who were hurt in the shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde were also injured in that one classroom, Texas Department of Public Safety spokesperson Lt. Chris Olivarez told CNN. The shooter, identified by multiple senior law enforcement officials as Salvador Rolando Ramos, 18, "was able to make entry into a classroom, barricaded himself inside that classroom, and again, just began shooting, uh, numerous children and teachers

Donald J. Trump was the best POTUS in my very long lifetime. His policies were effective, making America prosperous, energy independent, and lowering minority unemployment to record low levels. Everything he did, with the possible exception of the COVID lockdown, was quintessentially Trump; competent, encouraging, and salutary for America and her people. We were blessed to have him in the White House. Although many Americans cringed, we nonetheless put up with Trump’s coarseness and his inflated ego because he gave America back to the people.

The most remarkable aspect about today’s Harvard-Harris poll? It’s actually good news for Joe Biden. For the second month in a row, The Hill reports, Biden’s overall job approval comes in at 41/54. The problem isn’t so much overall approval as it is on the issues that will matter most to voters in the midterms: Biden’s overall approval rating sits at 41 percent in the survey, and the numbers are not much better when broken down by each issue. Only 35 percent of registered voters approve of Biden’s handling of the economy, 44 percent approve of his efforts to stimulate job growth and just 33 percent approve of his handling of inflation.

That’s not a rhetorical question, by the way. Seriously, it’s hard not to wonder how it’s possible that Whoopi Goldberg fancies herself to be an authoritative voice on current events.
