Schumer is expected to bring another vote to the floor later this week before government funding expires at 11:59:59 pm et Thursday. (Tweet) AP reported: Republican senators blocked a bill Monday night to keep the government operating and allow federal borrowing, but Democrats aiming to avert a shutdown are likely to try again — at the same time pressing ahead on President Joe Biden’s big plans

The nation’s top Democrats were desperately racing Wednesday to keep alive President Biden’s two signature spending plans as renegade members of their party signaled their willingness to kill both.In a statement late Wednesday afternoon, Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W. Va.), a key moderate, said he wouldn’t support a pending $3.5 trillion budget reconciliation bill, leading House Progressive Caucus Chair Pramila Jayapal (D-Calif.) to pronounce the Senate-passed $1.2 trillion infrastructure package dead on arrival.House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) — who’s scheduled a Thursday vote on the infrastructure plan — said she was taking things “hour by hour”
Rep. Liz Cheney leapt to the defense on Wednesday of Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, for 'standing in the breach' in the aftermath of the Jan. 6 attack on Congress and apologizing for attacks by her Republican colleagues. Milley was appearing before Congress for a second day to answer questions about the withdrawal from Afghanistan.He has become a hate figure for some Republicans amid reports he tried to rein in Donald Trump's worst impulses at the end of his presidency.
Rep. Matt Gaetz launched into a scathing cross-examination of Gen. Mark Milley and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin during their Wednesday testimony on the chaotic and deadly US withdrawal from Afghanistan, saying that if President Biden wasn’t so “addled,” the military leaders would have been fired. As Milley and Austin appeared before the House Armed Services Committee, Gaetz (R-Fla.) started his line of questioning by asking Milley to answer for his previous comments that the Taliban would not be able to defeat the Afghan military.
The View’s Joy Behar took over a segment that should’ve been criticizing President Biden on Wednesday, to instead attack moderate Democrats. The hosts were talking about the military top brass contradicting Biden’s claim that he had support for complete troop withdrawal from Afghanistan and his poor poll numbers. But not far into it, Behar steered the conversation away to instead complain that Democrats Joe Manchin [WV] and Kyrsten Sinema [AZ] were actually responsible for “destroying the country,” and Biden’s fledgling performance.Co-hosts Whoopi Goldberg, Sara Haines, Ana Navarro and Sunny Hostin all stayed on-topic, unwilling to criticize Biden.
South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem denied what she described as "total garbage" and untrue rumors on Wednesday. The Republican, widely seen as a possible 2024 White House contender, spoke out amid a hectic 24-hour period in which South Dakota Attorney General Jason Ravnsborg announced he is reviewing nepotism concerns from state lawmakers about a meeting between Noem and her daughter last year, as well as a report detailing allegations that the governor is having an extramarital affair with Trump confidant Corey Lewandowski. Her tweet did not directly address any of the burgeoning controversies.
John Ratcliffe and Mike Pompeo disputed Gen. Mark Milley’s recounting of the situation surrounding his controversial call with his Chinese counterpart. Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, spoke with Gen. Li Zuocheng of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army in late October and early January to dissuade them of a possible attack. The details of the call, including Milley's promise to warn Li of an incoming attack, which led to allegations of treason, were revealed by Watergate reporter Bob Woodward and Washington Post reporter Robert Costa in their new book Peril.
Malarkey, in Trillions

Joe Biden insists that his overstuffed, $3.5 trillion slop-pail of a spending package “costs zero dollars.” President Biden is, forgive us for noticing, completely crackers.
There are a few ways of looking at the cost of a $3.5 trillion boondoggle. The obvious way is to take the price tag at its own word — that, all-in, this package will cost at least $3.5 trillion if Democrats get their way. And that is, of course, correct. Even advocates of the infrastructure plan, such as Ian Bremmer, acknowledge as much.President Biden and his congressional allies insist that the cost is zero because the spending is “paid for.”
President Joe Biden has not apologized to border patrol officials after he accused them of hitting Haitian migrants with straps as they worked to secure the border while riding horses.“It was horrible to see what you saw, to see people treated like they did,” Biden said last week. “Horses running them over, people being strapped. It’s outrageous. I promise you those people will pay.” (Photo) Biden accused the agents of hitting migrants even though there was no available evidence to back up his statement. A photographer who took images even told Texas media that the images were “misconstrued” and that he never saw agents whip anyone.
Russian President Vladimir Putin chose this bombshell brunette linguist as his interpreter during his 2019 meeting with then-President Donald Trump.Daria Boyarskaya, 36, has been revealed as the stunning translator who accompanied Putin to the G20 summit in Osaka, Japan.The beautiful Russian Foreign Ministry specialist linguist was captured in photos from the meeting, sitting beside Putin in a flattering navy dress, with her dark, wavy locks down to her shoulders, according to East2West News.

White House press secretary Jen Psaki was asked by reporters on Tuesday to provide proof to substantiate President Joe Biden’s dubious claim that “some” of his top generals had supported his decision to withdraw all U.S. troops from Afghanistan.But she failed to provide a single piece of evidence, and many are now suggesting that the president of the United States is a bold-faced liar.The grilling occurred hours after all of the president’s top generals testified to Congress that they’d, in fact, opposed the president’s plan.The grilling began with ABC News’ Terry Moran, who asked Psaki to name the specific military advisors who’d “told him it’d’ be fine

public schools from asking students to
pray to Aztec gods 12 replies
Three California parents are suing to prevent the state's public school system from reciting prayers to Aztec deities that have been worshipped with human sacrifice – arguing that doing so violates the U.S. and state constitutions. The issue emerged earlier this year when researcher Chris Rufo reported on that particular aspect of the state's ethnic studies curriculum. As Fox News previously noted, the curriculum suggests chants that invoke the deity Tezkatlipoka. Tezkatlipoka is an Aztec god that was honored with human sacrifices. According to the World History Encyclopedia, an impersonator of Tezkatlipoka would be sacrificed with his heart removed to honor the deity.

Two of the U.S.’ top military commanders, and the nation’s top Pentagon official, affirmed on Capitol Hill Tuesday that President Biden was advised to leave at least 2,500 troops in Afghanistan to prevent the Taliban from overrunning the Afghan army — directly contradicting what Biden told ABC News in an interview after the pullout.During their testimony, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley and Gen. Frank McKenzie were pressed on Biden’s decision to fully withdraw, and specifically asked if they recommended the president leave any troops in Afghanistan following Aug. 31.
In an interview with “Good Morning America” on Tuesday, former President Barack Obama commented on the border crisis in Del Rio, Texas.
Obama stated that the crisis at the Del Rio border is “heartbreaking” and that the system, overall, “is dysfunctional.”
“It’s the reason I proposed comprehensive immigration reform. It’s the reason Joe Biden proposed it during his administration, and it’s something that is long overdue,” Obama stated, according to GMA.
The former president went on to say the situation at Del Rio is a reminder that more work needs to be done and that President Biden understands the situation better than anyone.
“As big-hearted as he is,
“So Trump was right.” Thus begins a broadside in the Sunday Times that amounts to a clarion call for the world: America’s president came to power in an election that was “rigged.”“The American public is slowly waking up to the fact that they are being led by an ineffectually devious, senile halfwit,” Rob Liddle writes. “Donald Trump is back in the lead in the opinion polls. Imagine how awful a president must be if people would rather that sack of meat with mittens were back in charge.”“Soon the public will wake up to something even more unpleasant and sinister: that the last presidential election was a fraud,
Daniel Craig looked uncharacteristically speechless on Tuesday evening as he marveled at the Duchess of Cambridge and her stunning Jenny Packham gown at the premiere of his final James Bond film, No Time To Die, kindly telling Kate: 'You look jolly lovely!'The actor chatted to Kate and husband Prince William at the Royal Albert Hall in London on Tuesday, with the Duke and Duchess joining a host of stars at the much delayed event. William and Kate arrived first to the premiere and were driven down the red carpet in a fleet of Range Rovers past one of the famous Aston Martin cars from the film,
As we previously reported, Joe Biden is going all-in with this ridiculous claim, suddenly, that his $3.5 trillion budget reconciliation bill costs “zero dollars.” He wasn’t alone in trying to push this claim. As we pointed out, he had Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) parroting the claim. Now, other Democrats have jumped aboard the narrative train including Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA), the head of the Congressional Progressive Caucus. Rep. Alan Lowenthal (D-CA) signed on board as well. Here’s White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki trying to sell the same claim. But, of course, what would a Democratic agenda narrative be without help from their buddies

Russian President Vladimir Putin brought an 'attractive' translator with him to distract former President Donald Trump at their 2019 meeting - and Trump told Putin he would act tough in front of the cameras and then play nice privately, former White House official Stephanie Grisham reveals in her forthcoming tell-all. 'OK, I'm going to act a little tougher with you for a few minutes. But it's for the cameras, and after they leave, we'll talk. You understand,' Trump had told Putin when they met in June 2019 in Japan at the G20, Grisham recounted. Copies of Grisham's book -
The Hill, which often serves as a mouthpiece for Democrat press releases, has written an article stating that “Democrats see Harris as a major player in midterms.” When it comes to Harris’s moribund reputation, Dems want us to think of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead but saving Harris is more like Mel Brook’s Young Frankenstein and “Abby Normal’s brain.” Kamala’s lack of national viability made itself known during the Democrat primaries in 2019 when Harris dropped out without even breaking the 4% barrier in the polls and with zero delegates.
A university in Washington has created segregated housing specifically for Black students. Western Washington University has designated the fourth floor of Alma Clark Glass Hall as housing reserved for its "Black Affinity Housing program," becoming the latest school to adopt such a program. "The program will explore and celebrate the diversity of Black and African American people and culture, with historical and contemporary context," the program website reads, also saying that all "Western students residing in the program help foster a warm and vibrant community supporting social, personal and academic success." "Black Affinity Housing residents, representing all diverse identities, pride themselves on fostering a sense of belonging
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley got into a heated exchange with Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) over the advice he gave President Biden on troop levels in Afghanistan – with Milley rejecting the idea he should resign over policy differences. Milley, who holds degrees from Princeton, Columbia, and the Navy War College, and who commanded international forces in Afghanistan, bristled at the idea – even as he essentially confirmed he advised Biden against a withdrawal of all US troops from the country.'I understand that you're the principle military advisor. That you advise. You don't decide, the president decides.
The 'F*** Joe Biden' Chant Is EVERYWHERE
28 replies
Joe Biden is the worst president we’ve had since the last worst president we had: Barack Obama, who was the worst president since Jimmy Carter. It has escaped no one’s notice.
Covid lockdowns and mandates; the destructive, inhumane, callow, disgusting bug-out of Afghanistan; generational theft-level spending; and tyrannical diktats have touched everyone – except Hollywood and D.C., naturally.
Turn that flag upside down, Australia here we come.
Where people have been “allowed” to congregate they have made their disgust with Joe Biden well known in the coarsest and unsociable of ways – and they’ve been cheered for it!
Nearly everywhere you look, people in large groups and small are chanting “F*** Joe Biden!”
During his campaign for the Presidential Elections 2020 Joe Biden left some Twitter users queasy after a clip from the campaign trail showed him discussing children playing with his leg hair.
During the campaign speech, Biden, 77, described how children used to play with his blond leg hairs in the swimming pool while telling a story about his time working as a lifeguard.
Well, with that disgusting video we found out about Joe’s hairy legs but it seems that at least his hands appear to look less hairy back in January when he got his first vaccine shot.
