Biden Vetoes Chance to Give U.S. Troops
a Pay Raise Despite Spending Seven Times
More On Ukraine
Posted By: Imright, 6/13/2024 2:03:32 AM
The Biden Administration is facing intense criticism after shooting down a proposal to give U.S. military troops a pay raise. The House Armed Services Committee’s (HASC) draft of the 2025 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) proposed a $24 billion pay raise to enlisted U.S. service members. However, the Biden Administration said that it “strongly opposes” approving such a “significant” and “permanent” pay raise, citing budgetary constraints. On the contrary, the Democratic administration recently just approved spending nearly seven times the amount to fund Ukraine’s ongoing war with Russia.

That crusty old pervert and would-be dictator of ours, Joe Biden, told us the other day – as he does every chance he gets – that our firearms are useless to defend our freedom because he has F-15s. I think he misses the point that the Founders – oh, how our leadership has declined from greatness to the staggering, stumbling, incontinent clown show we have today – intended that we be able to protect ourselves from people like him, not to mention the criminals that he tolerates and encourages. Here’s the thing about senile people – they can’t hide what they really think. They blurt what they really think.
Chuck Schumer's 'Father's Day heaven' took a rapid turn for the worse after he tried to showcase his skill at the grill.
The Senate majority leader posted a picture of himself in shorts and T-shirt casually flipping a burger as he tended a barbecue at his daughter's home.
But the picture was removed faster than an igniting hot dog after followers on X saw that he had slapped a piece of cheese onto a raw burger. And his political opponents were quick to fan the flames including Donald Trump Jr who accused him of 'playing to the masses'.
Democrat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY) on Sunday threw a tantrum over ‘outside’ money raised to unseat Democrat Jamaal Bowman.
Bowman’s challenger, George Latimer, has raised more than $14 million of outside money in his fight for New York’s 16th congressional district.
Meanwhile, Jamaal Bowman has only raised $1.9 million outside money in this year’s Democrat primary race. (X) The knives are out for Jamaal Bowman in NY’s 16th district which includes parts of the Bronx after he was charged for pulling the fire alarm during a crucial vote in the House.
If you thought that the effort to make Pete Buttigieg into a thing has waned or diminished in light of his tenure as Secretary of Transportation, think again. CBS Sunday Morning leveraged a treacly Father’s Day profile of Transportation Pete Buttigieg and husband Chasten into an infomercial hyping a 2028 presidential run.
Watch the end of the interview, as correspondent Jonathan Vigliotti asks the presidential question, and elicits an emotional response from Buttigieg:(Video) JONATHAN VIGLIOTTI: Is there a world where you see Penelope and Gus living in The White House in 2029?
PETE BUTTIGIEG: I don't know about that. That's just not how I'm thinking about even the near future.
Joe Biden had an impressive weekend on the campaign fundraising circuit. He pulled in $28 million at a Los Angeles event, though most of that cash poured in, thanks to former President Barack Obama lending a hand. Yet, the clip going viral about this event isn’t about anything either man said, but the closing moment here where Joe Biden might be aloof again. Obama must carry him off stage, holding his hand: (Video) It wouldn’t be shocking if this were another Mr. Magoo incident, as Biden had a rough outing at the G7 Summit. The media and the Democratic Party said the president did well with our European allies.
Hillary Clinton cracked a joke about her 2016 election loss Sunday night during a surprise appearance at the 2024 Tony Awards.
Clinton came out to fawning applause and a standing ovation from almost the entire A-list crowd at the Lincoln Center's David H. Koch Theater in New York City .
She was there to present a performance from the musical Suffs, a Broadway show about the movement to give women the right to vote, which counts the former Secretary of State and First Lady as a producer.
Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that “the greatest threat to democracy today” is President Joe Biden.
Partial transcript as follows:
JON KARL: So – so this was Trump’s first visit to Capitol Hill since before the attack on January 6th. I want to play something for you that he said just days before he came back to Capitol Hill about those who have been convicted for attacking the Capitol.Take a listen

and one regulation appears to target the ex-president 4 replies
The host of the first presidential debate of 2024 general election season has released new details on the rules for what could be the most consequential political event of the year, and one of those regulations appears to take direct aim at Donald Trump.
In a new step since Trump and President Biden came face-to-face during the last presidential election, microphones will be muted throughout the debate except when it is a candidate's turn to speak.
The decision to mute mics comes after the presidential debates in 2020 went off the rails at times with Trump speaking over Biden to the point where past moderates

Rifles’ Headed To ‘Transnational Criminal Organizations’ 1 reply
The authorities have intercepted a cache of rifles headed for “transnational criminal organizations” at a gas station in Blythe, California, according to a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) press release published Friday.
The discovery of the weapons came when a K-9 unit detected the weapons and alerted its handler. Border Patrol agents searched the vehicle and found 25 AK-47-style rifles with 30-round magazines and two pistols, according to the press release. The authorities arrested the two individuals in the car. These included a 25-year-old U.S. citizen and a minor.
“Transnational Criminal Organizations traffic weapons to fuel their illicit activity on both sides of the border.
Stephen A. Smith went on a Caitlin Clark-driven WNBA race rant this week, bringing up what he believes her rise has exposed about society, while name-dropping Martin Luther King and Donald Trump.
Smith spoke up about Clark in this instance after Connecticut Sun star DiJonai Carrington had taken issue with Clark's lack of a brash statement to disassociate herself from those using her name to weaponize the spread racism and misogyny.
Clark did push back directly when asked about those claims, but Smith thought the exchange had a larger meaning.

Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) won a straw poll conducted at Turning Point Action’s “People’s Convention” over the weekend regarding who voters want to see serve as former President Donald Trump’s vice president.
Big Data Poll conducted a straw poll, which surveyed 1,986 people at the convention and found that 43 percent were in favor of Vance running as Trump’s vice president, according to the Daily Mail. Charlie Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA described Vance as one of Trump’s “most capable and articulate defenders and surrogates.”
Hollywood stars George Clooney and Julia Roberts struck an ominous note at Saturday’s glitzy Los Angeles fundraiser for Joe Biden, warning that “democracy” and “our children’s future” are at risk if former President Donald Trump re-takes the White House in November.
George Clooney and Julia Roberts lent their considerable star power to the big Hollywood party, which raised around $30 million for Biden’s re-election campaign. They also dutifully recited Democrat talking points intended to scare the party’s base into rallying behind the deeply unpopular Biden.

Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) said Sunday on MSNBC’s “Inside” that former President Donald Trump did not love America.
Host Jen Psaki said, “I’m sure you are aware of the controversy that broke out over some comments that Trump made about Milwaukee, which is hosting the Republican convention coming up later this summer. He reportedly called Milwaukee a horrible city. He called Washington a filthy and crime-ridden embarrassment. He has called Chicago worse than Afghanistan. He once called Baltimore a disgusting rat and rodent infested mess. These are America’s cities.
Los Angeles— Some of Hollywood’s brightest stars headlined a glitzy fundraiser for President Joe Biden on Saturday night, helping raise what his reelection campaign said was $28 million and hoping to energize would-be supporters for a November election that they argued was among the most important in the nation’s history.
George Clooney, Julia Roberts and Barbra Streisand were among those who took the stage at the 7,100-seat Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel interviewed Biden and former President Barack Obama, who both stressed the need to defeat former President Donald Trump in a race that’s expected to be exceedingly close.
No person with a loved one who has suffered through addiction could feel anything but empathy for Hunter Biden and his family. “There are a lot of Hunter Bidens in this world, people who fell in way over their heads, who long for someone to believe they can recover and construct their lives differently,”
The chirp of cicadas in the tree-lined streets of Evanston is almost deafening. Billions of the insects have been making their periodic emergence from underground dormancy, on a scale not seen for centuries. With the ground strewn with dead bugs, and gardeners rushing to put protective netting around their plants and trees, locals have dubbed it ‘The Cicada-geddon’.
And yet this quiet university town – an affluent suburb of Chicago on the shores of Lake Michigan – now has another interloper that its ultra-liberal citizens deeply resent.
Three years after Evanston proudly became the first local government in the US to start paying reparations to its black citizens – in this case
What’s happening with black women in America? Some are rising to power thanks to the DEI movement, which rewards skin color, gender, and sexual preference over merit, experience, or excellence. However, the problem arises once those women who are not qualified are placed in positions of power and leadership, where they often quickly crash and burn. From embezzling $15 million in COVID funds to engaging in shameless plagiarism, these meritless women have demonstrated that they are not up to the task and struggle with the responsibilities they’ve been given. Naturally, they revert to what they know best: lying, cheating, and stealing.
Former Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director Robert Redfield said he predicts a bird flu pandemic will happen, it’s just a matter of when that will be.
Redfield joined NewsNation Friday to discuss the growing concern for bird flu, as the virus has been detected in dozens of cattle across the country and the World Health Organization identified the first human death in Mexico. {snip}
He also noted that bird flu has a “significant mortality” when it enters humans compared to COVID-19. Redfield predicts the mortality is “probably somewhere between 25 and 50 percent mortality.” NewsNation noted that the death rate for COVID was 0.6 percent.
Requiring women to register for Selective Service (ie, the draft) really is a part of the 2025 National Defense Reauthorization Act that has been assembled in the Senate. 3.

Many wondered if the Chicago Sky would again resort to bullying tactics and obvious, flagrant fouls in their rematch with Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever.
The answer is yes. Yes, they would.
Late in the third quarter of a tight, hard-fought battle between longtime rivals, Caitlin Clark drove to the basket to increase her team’s lead. However, her scoring attempt was undone by a forearm to the head from Angel Reese.(X Video) The foul was initially called a common foul. However, officials upgraded it to a Flagrant 1 after review. Honestly, this is just purely malicious. Reese wasn’t even pretending to go for the ball here.
This week, Attorney General Merrick Garland took to the pages of the Washington Post to lash out at critics who are spreading what he considers “conspiracy theories crafted and spread for the purpose of undermining public trust in the judicial process itself.” His column, titled “Unfounded attacks on the Justice Department must end,” missed the point.
It is Garland himself who has become the problem. The solution is in Wilmington, Delaware, where 12 average citizens just showed a commitment to the rule of law that seems to be harder and harder for the attorney general to meet.

OK, let’s get this out of the way. The core trio of The Rolling Stones are old, pretty darn old -- even if 80 is the new 70. [SNIP] During his moments of banter, Jagger referenced the 22-year gap between Cleveland shows and the band’s first local show at Public Hall in 1964. He also shouted out the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and suggested that everyone in attendance vote in the big U.S. election in November. “It may be the last time you get to vote,” he said ominously, drawing murmurs from the crowd.
Be Prepared for Chaos

I suggest you start preparing for a great deal of left-wing civic violence, supply disruptions (including food shortages) and widespread urban chaos. I say this because it is my sense that the Democrats, deep state, and their media enablers are all in rough shape and have no other way out but to fall back on their usual criminal methods of retaining power.
I find it impossible to believe that President Biden will be the Democratic nominee, and if he is, that he can win. What do the Democrats do? They certainly can’t substitute Kamala Harris for Biden; she’s tanked in opinion polls even lower and faster than has Biden.
