Biden’s first big speech to Congress
bombs on all counts
Posted By: Imright, 4/29/2021 7:12:40 AM
President Biden’s speech Wednesday night failed on all counts: It didn’t sell his latest spending plan, it didn’t sell his larger agenda — and, worst of all, it didn’t sell him.Start with the utterly bizarre “mask theater.” All the politicians in the room have been fully vaccinated, and Biden’s own CDC says that’s enough. So why the universal masking, and the social distancing? The message, cutting across the president’s occasional optimism, was that this nightmare will never end — which simply isn’t true.Equally, obviously false was Biden’s now-routine effort to claim all the credit for successful vaccinations: All that was set in motion before he took office.

Houston police were investigating a kidnapping report when they found what they believe to be more than 90 adult human smuggling victims crammed into a modest two-story home. The startling discovery was made on Friday on Chessington Drive in Southeast Houston. Houston Police Department Assistant Chief Daryn Edwards told reporters during a news briefing Friday that some of the people who were found inside the home appeared to be suffering from COVID-19 symptoms. The immigrants were discovered by SWAT team members. The immigrants were said to be found huddled together in 'deplorable conditions'.
Despite the widening southern migrant crisis, the Department of Defense announced Friday it is canceling further construction of the border wall that uses military funding, with billions of dollars being sent back to the Pentagon that had been reserved for building the barrier by the Trump administration.The announcement comes as Republicans have been vocal in their calls for the Biden administration to revert back the the previous administration’s policies and continue construction of the wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, casting blame on President Biden’s policies for the surge of migrants attempting to enter the country.
During a portion of an interview with NBC aired on Thursday’s broadcast of “NBC Nightly News,” President Joe Biden responded to Sen. Tim Scott’s (R-SC) speech on Wednesday and stated that while he doesn’t think the American people are racist, “after 400 years, African Americans have been left in a position where they are so far behind the eight ball in terms of education and health, in terms of opportunity.”Host Craig Melvin asked, “He said among other things, America isn’t racist. Is it?”Biden responded, “No, I don’t think the American people are racist. But I think after 400 years, African Americans have been left in a position where they are
Why is Joe Biden such a xenophobe and racist?Joe Biden is set to restrict most travel from India as Covid-19 spreads through the country.“There’s no wall high enough to keep any virus away,” Biden said earlier this week before imposing a travel ban on India.This was a ridiculous statement considering India is across the Pacific and Joe Biden is allowing illegals with COVID to cross over the border and then are immediately shipped across the US.

Cuban-born businessman Maximo Alvarez, one of the featured speakers at the 2020 Republican National Convention, warned in his speech that America would turn into Cuba under a Joe Biden presidency.With President Biden marking his 100th day in office this week, Fox & Friends had Alvarez on to give an update on his prediction.“Are your greatest fears coming true, what you left in the 60s, what your dad left in Spain,” Fox News host Brian Kilmeade said. “Is it coming true here?”“I’m afraid to say so,” Alvarez said. “It’s very sad, but ever since the election, right after January the 20th, you’ve seen what’s happened in this country with
The U.S. Supreme Court has halted lawsuits from Democrats that accused Donald Trump of violating the U.S. Constitution’s anti-corruption provisions by maintaining ownership of his business empire including a hotel near the White House while in office.The justices threw out lower court rulings that had allowed the lawsuits – one filed by the District of Columbia and the state of Maryland and the other by plaintiffs including a watchdog group – to proceed, while also declining to hear Trump’s appeals of those decisions.The justices ordered the lower courts to dismiss the cases because they are now moot.
President Joe Biden took planes, automobiles - but not trains - to Philadelphia to mark Amtrak's 50th anniversary on Friday. The president, who earned the nickname 'Amtrak Joe' during his Senate career, stood in front of a new Acela train outside of 30th Street Station and gushed about his 'family' of train workers while warning cuts to the service 'would be a disaster for our environment and our economy.' 'I want to tell you these guys, women they work like the devil. They really, really, really do. And Amtrak wasn't just a way of getting home, it provided me - and I'm not joking -
After the shift workers left the coliseum on Thursday, staff moved in and doubled the number of processing tables there.(Photo) You can now see that where there were 5 tables for yellow T-shirt workers there are now at least 11 new tables for yellow T-shirt election workers.(Photo) They are adding tables to each zone.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports” that she would “never forgive” former President Donald Trump and the rioters at the U.S. Capitol on January 6.Pelosi said, “I will never forgive those people and the president who instigated the insurrection for the trauma they caused to the workers in the Capitol, whether the young people who work in our offices, whether custodial staff who make the Capitol run, whether it was the Capitol Police. They messed up my office, broke mirrors and stole stuff, and the rest, who cares. But I do care that the impact, the negative impact, the fright they instilled in people
Joe Biden’s administration, seeking deep cuts to planet-heating emissions, is facing pressure to take a previously unthinkable step: declare the end of the internal combustion engine in the US. Washington state has moved to call time on the age of gasoline and diesel cars, with the legislature passing a goal that new car sales be only zero-emission vehicles from 2030, including out of state purchases that are then imported. The legislation now awaits to signature of Governor Jay Inslee, a Democrat who previously ran for president on the climate crisis platform. While not a strict mandate, the Washington bill is

I confess that like most Americans, I had no interest in watching Joe Biden’s non-State of the Union address to a mostly empty House chamber hosting a joint session of Congress. That’s why I missed a golden moment during the commentary afterward on Fox News Channel, one that surely stands as what the progressives like to call a “Profile in Courage.” (snip) Last week, the host of the program [Fox News Primetime] was Ben Domenech (snip)
With a potential plum like that a possibility, Domenech deserves a lot of credit

Many of us recently saw an online video of a young teenage girl brandishing a knife, large enough to be a deadly weapon, attempting to stab another young girl. Just in the nick of time, a police officer shot the attacker, who died.
While this is the most extreme video I've seen, there are many other instances of similar behavior, mostly unrecorded by media. Somehow, we have become a nation in which literally thousands of young people are walking around, ready at a moment's notice to react with violence,

President Joe Biden said that it is a “patriotic responsibility” for two vaccinated people to wear masks when they are talking indoors during an interview with “Today” on Friday. Host Craig Melvin asked Biden if he was going to stop wearing his mask outdoors given the new CDC guidance saying that vaccinated people can stop wearing masks outside. “Sure, I mean, but what I’m going to do though because the likelihood of my being able to be outside and people not come up to me is not very high so it’s like look, you and I took our masks off when I came in.
U.S. resistance to getting a COVID-19 vaccine is slowly diminishing, a new online survey finds, but it still exists and at especially high rates in some blue-collar jobs -- and nearly half of respondents are worried about side effects.
For adults under age 65 who are hesitant, reluctance is mainly driven by concerns about safety, side effects and distrust in government, the poll found. It's also largely linked to people's line of work.
The bottom line: "Vaccine hesitancy is emerging as a key barrier to ending the COVID-19 pandemic," said lead author Wendy King, associate professor of epidemiology in the University of Pittsburgh Graduate School of Public Health.

A Minnesota man has been fined $12 million for helping set fire to a police station during a protest last summer following the death of George Floyd.
Dylan Shakespeare Robinson, 23, pleaded guilty in December to one count of conspiracy to commit arson. He was accused of lighting a Molotov cocktail that another person threw at the Third Precinct headquarters in Minneapolis.
He now faces four years in prison and a whopping fine for the damages to the police station -- a penalty Robinson’s lawyer argues he will never be able to pay.

The Transportation Security Administration announced Friday it will extend a federal mandate that requires people to wear masks in transportation settings, including at airports, on commercial aircraft and on commuter bus and rail systems, through Sept. 13. The initial requirement went into effect Feb. 1 and was set to expire May 11.
“The federal mask requirement throughout the transportation system seeks to minimize the spread of COVID-19 on public transportation,” Darby LaJoye, the senior official performing the duties of the TSA administrator, said in a statement. “About half of all adults have at least one vaccination shot and masks remain an important tool in defeating this pandemic.”
