The Biden presidency implodes
Joe Biden's first year in office has been a train wreck and yesterday's marathon press conference only made things worse. Biden's confused, disastrous Q & A has the entire world shaking in disbelief. It was so bad that WH press secretary Jen Psaki had to issue two lengthy explanations of his remarks in order to cover Biden's truly inept comments on the Ukraine which shocked the world. In between Biden's lying and rage and his bizarre whispering and confusion, he all but invited Russia to invade the Ukraine. The people of the Ukraine watched in horror. Then Biden went on to question the integrity of the next election - if his faux voting rights bill wasn't passed - and thankfully it wasn't.
The week:
Schumer loses a pair:
Yesterday, as the president made a fool of himself, Chuck Schumer put two bills to a vote, knowing he didn't have the votes to pass them. One to change Senate rules and end the filibuster. The other was to pass a misnamed "voting rights" bill which would make fraud easy and nationalize elections. Senators Manchin and Sinema joined all Senate Republicans in opposing the attempt to alter the Senate filibuster on party lines, resulting in a 48-52 final tally. That vote followed a failed attempt by Democrats to advance the election bills over the Senate's 60-vote filibuster threshold. All Republicans opposed it.
Congress to take on big tech:
A major piece of legislation aimed at limiting the business conduct of Amazon and other tech platforms cleared the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday, underscoring a bipartisan desire to curb the influence of major internet companies.
The bill, the American Innovation and Choice Online Act , is aimed at cracking down on a platform’s “self-preferencing.” It prohibits dominant internet companies like Amazon from favoring their own products and services in a way that would “materially harm” competition on their platform. It also would restrict conduct such as discriminating against businesses that use their platforms, and places limits on practices that disadvantage rivals.

It was also revealed last night that Chuck Schumer's daughter is a lobbyist for Amazon.

What have we learned:
Some of Virginia's woke schools have designated military children as "privileged." That shouldn't surprise anyone, but there is a group called "For Kids and Country" fighting back. Has anyone noticed that the DOJ's threat to go after parents has all but silenced those contentious school board meetings? Chalk up one for the authoritarian left! Last night we also learned that Tucker Carlson may be the only person on the planet who thinks the US is going to get into a war with Russia.
Here we learned some insane things, such as: Inflation is really caused by greed, Trillion dollar budgets are the new normal, the CDC has been straightforward, wanted posters displaying black faces should never be shown and that when you are at a subway station you should not stand anywhere near the edge of the platform and you should try and work around the homeless, the insane and muggers. Stephen Colbert is really amusing and meatloaf sold 100 million albums despite being the epitome of nothing.

"He made a promise of unity. He said he was going to govern by bringing people together, by making compromise."
He got elected for one reason and we hold his supporters in contempt.
Great article you wrote. The Federalist has a similar one out now for Brandon’s first whole year in office.
The Federalist is a great site. Everyone should read those articles.
Another bizarre interpretation of the weeks news.
I thought I hit the target!
And you thought correctly as usual
Aw shucks!
You did! I agree with blaming his supporters/ voters and holding them morally responsible for Brandon’s failures.
Trump tried to warn them, didn't he?

Blinken, Lavrov meet to discuss "critical moment" in Ukraine
Will Putin now move for a "small incursion?"
Former President Donald J. Trump joined " Hannity " on Thursday for a wide-ranging, exclusive interview one day after President Joe Biden's press conference.
Trump commented on Biden's roundly-criticized remark about a potential "minor incursion" into Ukraine by Russian forces, but also offered diplomatic support for the president, regardless of their personal differences.
"It was a very sad time for our country. I want him to forget politics, I want him to do well. He's got to do well," Trump said of Biden.
"Our country is in trouble… I don't think we've ever had anything like it in this country. When you look at that horrible situation in Afghanistan, the way they got out, getting out was good but the way they got out, we could have gotten that with strength and with dignity and kept Bagram [Air Base]."
In regard to Biden's first year overall, Trump discussed how Biden has led the rest of the world to disrespect the United States.
"I don't think we've ever been in this position… I feel ashamed at what's happened in the last year with our country. I'm ashamed of what's going on, and so are Americans," Trump said.
"They're ashamed and embarrassed. They haven't seen this. I don't think we've ever seen this like this."
Trump criticized Biden's ushering in record inflation, an insecure border with millions of illegal immigrants flooding the United States and the fact the president's disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal led to the death of 13 U.S. service members after 18 months of zero casualties under his own leadership.
"We would have had the wall completed in three weeks which was largely completed, we did almost 500 miles of wall and the southern border. It was really working, it really had an impact, and we were working along with Mexico and Guatemala, Honduras. We were in El Salvador; all of these countries," he said.
"So we had the most secure border we've ever had… And then it's all gone in one instant. At first, I thought it was gross incompetence, but now it's incompetent policy. They really want to have an open border," Trump said of Biden and his advisers.
Trump predicted that the weak foreign policy of Biden's administration toward U.S. rivals Russia and China could spell further turmoil in under a month:
"So now you have a problem in Ukraine, which you would have never had under my administration… You watch, after the Olympics [taking place in Beijing], You['ll] have a big problem with Taiwan," Trump said.
"They're all watching and they can't believe what they're seeing," he said of America's rivals and enemies.
Trump is right!
As usual. What instincts. He even told us that after they tore down Confederate statues, they would go after the founders!

Even Kamala Harris and Ron Klain had to rush out to mics and issue what Biden meant was ... statements. What a shameful disaster!
One of many deplorable things Biden said was that he (paraphrased) doesn't regret what he did regarding his withdrawal from Afghanistan. I nearly fell off my chair when I heard that!
He's too far gone to realize how bad that withdrawl was.
All he knows is that Susan Rice and Ron Klain probably told him that getting out ASAP was good for the country.
Regret doesn’t come if you really don’t care. SMH
Didn't you catch it?
Last night?
Hannity's last question was "are you going to run in 2024?"
Trump has yet to decide.
I watched the interview. I don’t think he has made that decision yet. I don’t want him to opt out if that’s his decision until after November’s election. I want him to have maximum impact on the elected make up of the party down ballot all the way to county supervisor, small city councils, and school boards everywhere. We need to finish the eradication from party power the old GOP establishment thst used to take the party base votes and otherwise hold us in utter contempt.
There are many reasons for him to wait on it, but I think you are rights about waiting until after the midterms. He would only give democrats something to campaign against if he inserts himself into politics right now and the right now is all about the midterms.
Decent folks are the ones who are/were/continue to be shamed and embarrassed of whatshisname, #45, and his 'presidency' and his supporters and enablers.
Are they the one who rioted in 2020?
Or the ones who intimidated parents at school board meetings?
Or the ones who call everyone racist?
"Hannity's last question was "are you going to run in 2024?"
Trump has yet to decide."
He'll continue to bilk and scam and fleece his enablers and supporters for as long as possible for their cash.
The lifelong scammer/fraud and people still line his pockets.
You mean he has a campaign fund set up, without a campaign?
The 'campaign fund' is his wallet.
No address? Where do they send the money?
Gosh, Vic. The details are all over the unicorn internet, dude! The imaginary donation address is 123 Unicorn Drive, Unicorn City, USA ... and the imaginary donation phone number is 1-800-UNICORN ... lol
Lol!
I mean what I said.
Ok, I didn't want to put words in your mouth.
Now that I know you meant it, could you provide us with a link concerning this fund?
"Ok, I didn't want to put words in your mouth."
That would be a first.
Who do you think you're fooling?
I only want to know about the fund. Can you help me out?
Atta boy, Joe! Lead from behind! Be reactive instead of proactive.
He has everyone laughing!
Except for......
The Ukrainians!
While Biden plays Go Fish ... Putin, the CCP, and Iran are playing 3D chess.
And immediately following that disastrous press conference, Putin has demanded NATO leave the entirety of Eastern Europe and turn back the clock to the last century.
the poles, Lithuanians, Bulgarians etc aren’t laughing either.
putin wants to reestablish the Warsaw Pact.
You bet! They all know the time is now!
And bring back all those states (now countries), that left the old Soviet Union.

What many people either don't want to believe or simply don't know is that there's been vast improvements made in the technological quality of ultrasound testing ... even for fetal development. What looked like a blur 30 - 40 years ago looks like a fully formed, active, human baby today.
That is something few can argue with. One of those ultrasound pics is truly worth a thousand words.

Rep. James Clyburn has definitively said that the 2022 midterm election would be compromised if that bill didn't pass. Hmmm ...
The rest of the article is about Biden's muddy remarks about 2022 elections and Psaki's clean-up on aisle 7 !
None of them get it. They don't understand how out of touch they are from the average citizen. Asked what he will do differently in the second year of his presidency he spoke of a “change in tactic.” He will get out of Washington more and speak to the people, “on the road a lot making the case around the country.” He is misdiagnosing his problem. It isn’t that his policies & decisions haven’t been fully understood and will be embraced if comprehended more fully. It’s that his policies this past year were basically understood and disliked. It’s not a communications problem, it’s a substance problem.
Exactly.
Hey Vic ... what happened to all of the comments made on the 17 thread? Except for the first one, all of the rest were mysteriously deleted without explanation. I have only one that I made and a meta comment that someone made to me, but everyone else's comments have been deleted.
Oh wait ... Look at thread 6 now. It's LOCKED. It wasn't LOCKED like that earlier; just one comment SELF-deleted. And, thread 7 is totally deleted now. Strange.
And a Democratic rep called sinema, manchin and republicans white nationalists on the floor of the house.
makes one wish for trump and his restrained dialogue.
Degradation and name-calling seem to be signature go-to behaviors of some people. I don't recall Pelosi, Harris, Biden, Clyburn and others being overly worried about voting laws in 2008, 2012, 2016, and 2020 but they're all on-board now!
"And a Democratic rep called sinema, manchin and republicans white nationalists on the floor of the house."
That's what they are.
Truth hurts, eh?
I appreciate your efforts to make my point for me.
So tell us why you believe they are what you think they are.
Tell us.....are all white people that do not believe the same as you white supremacists?
Efforts my ass.
Most of the time I think they aren't even trying.
That's exactly what is being said.
"I thought that was the most delusional press conference I have ever seen," The former press secretary went on to say that by the end of the press conference, she was "genuinely scared for the future of our country."
Now the bleached blonde bimbo is 'genuinely scared for the future of our country."??????????????????????????????????
I prefer Jennifer Psaki too, I am so glad Ron Howard decided to transition.
Sorry, Moose. Psaki looks more like Peppermint Patty than Ron Howard to me.
There's a good resemblance.

Hillary Clinton, Katie Hill, Debbie Dingell, Liz Warren, Nicolle Wallace, Andrea Mitchell, Jill Biden, and Mika Brzezinski are all bleached blondes. Do you consider them bleached blonde bimbos too? Or are the only bleached blonde bimbos women of the Republican Party?
Since I'm not registered with any political party, your answer will not offend me.
No no no Jasper. Don't you see. To leftist women, bleach is good.
Ask Hillary
Ohhh ... how silly of me to forget about Hillary's wiping with a cloth in 2015!
And the real bleach bit explanation by the company's creator and co-founder ...
Thanks for the reminder, bugsy!
She also quickly disseminated an op ed on the same day (January 20, 2022) trying to show the world that Biden is a great, powerful leader. She clearly omitted bullet points about the crises at our southern border, fentanyl, high gas prices, empty shelves, and businesses that cannot find people willing to work, etc.
Since January 20, 2022, Biden, his administration, and MSM outlets assured us that a "clear message" had been sent to Putin if he dared to enter Ukraine.
Today, January 22, 2022 ...
Palin’s libel case against New York Times begins in federal court in Manhattan.
We'll keep you posted.
maybe those Democrats were too busy trying to convince half their members that huge tax breaks for rich folks make them look like hypocrites
Nancy Pelosi made millions on stock transactions. Not to mention the Bidens and the Clintons.
