Nancy Pelosi scolds reporters for not
promoting her $3.5 trillion pork spending scheme
Posted By: PageTurner, 10/13/2021 9:16:27 AM
Voters, according to multiple polls, are repelled by the Democrats' $3.5 trillion "reconciliation" spending plan, the largest government spending bill in human history. Rasmussen found that 53% of likely voters are against it, including 41% who are dead-set against it. I&I/TIPP found that 51% of independent voters wanted nothing to do with it. Pew found that less than half of voters wanted the $3.5 trillion reconciliation bill, while the centrist Washington policy group No Labels found that 60% of voters agreed with Sen. Joe Manchin on the need for a "strategic pause" to consider the implications of this much porkulus. NBC News delicately reported that the bill represents "some risks"

Is there anything Democrats can't do ... to kill off America's innovators and entrepreneurs?
Sure as heck not, given their latest sneaky plan to discourage small -- and I mean really small -- business.
According to Jessica Pate, writing at Issues & Insights:
The INFORM Consumers act would impose new requirements and burdens on the millions of people who run small businesses. Similar bills introduced in more than a dozen state legislatures are generally supported by big-box retailers eager to siphon online money back to their stores. Lawmakers should reject them all.
It's not just nurses, firefighters, cops, military troops, and airline pilots who are getting fired over rigid COVID vaccine mandates.
Now it's nuclear scientists with highly specialized knowledge and top-secret security clearances:
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Workers at one of the nation’s premier nuclear weapons laboratories face a deadline Friday — be vaccinated or prepare to be fired.
A total of 114 workers at Los Alamos National Laboratory — the birthplace of the atomic bomb — are suing over the mandate,
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, who it turns out has been away on family leave these past months as America's supply chain has collapsed, has finally come out of the woodwork.
Did he come out to announce how he's making the situation better?
Nope, what brought him out was some harsh, criticism by Fox News host Tucker Carlson, who asked if Missing Pete on family leave was trying to learn how to breast-feed. Yes, it was tasteless, but that's hardly a burning issue to anyone else but Pete, given his larger and more important point.

Lefties love to talk about greed and "equity," but never seem to notice its phenomenal growth in the one-party rule of their blue cities.
Here's the story from Los Angeles as the New York Post reports:
A Los Angeles City Council member and the former dean of the University of Southern California’s School of Social Work were indicted Wednesday in connection with a scheme in which the pol allegedly promised to steer lucrative contracts to the school if it gave his son a scholarship and a professorship.
Councilmember Mark Ridley-Thomas, 66, and Marilyn Louise Flynn, 83, were expected to be arraigned in the coming days

We’ve written before about the madness in the Loudoun County Public Schools (LCPS), most recently when it comes to parents protesting LGBTQ pornography in the school system’s libraries. There’ve also been newsworthy moments when parents spoke out about Critical Race Theory in the school district. One of the most explosive moments occurred when the school board, tired of having angry parents (i.e., voters) yell at them, called the cops, with several arrests, including that of one man getting physically dragged out. It now turns out that the man was protesting the fact that the school’s policies led to a boy in a skirt sexually assaulting his daughter
Is there any level of phoniness Kamala Harris can't demonstrate?
Back when Joe Biden had disappeared during Afghanistan's collapse and was refusing to take phone calls from British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, Harris had a golden opportunity to step in and show leadership. But she had better things to do.
What was she doing as Joe Biden went AWOL? Cocooning into her comfort zone, which was engaging in selfies and public relations. Call it her 'My Pet Goat' moment, except that it wasn't by accident. While Afghanistan was collapsing into terror and Americans were trapped behind enemy lines in chaos, she was busy making at least three space videos
Has the White House dumped Kamala?

As Joe Biden's public approval tanks in the polls, his sidekick Kamala Harris is also looking pretty wretched. She underwent 'repackaging' from swamp consultants who specialize in "crisis messaging," to very miserable results as she posed for videos with kids, coming off phonier than ever.
And more important, she may have been frozen out of all serious decision-making as an obviously giggling lightweight.
There's this item, reported by Fox News: Several top members of the Biden administration were in Mexico City on Friday for a meeting with Mexican officials regarding security along the U.S.-Mexico border. But Vice President Kamala Harris wasn't among them.Harris, whom President Biden appointed in March
Business Insider is reporting that it's got the hottest of insider scandals. No, not the tens of thousands of illegal aliens from more than a hundred countries now surging across our border. Here's the notorious scandal: (Snip for tweet) The story about Amazon, Google and Microsoft contracting with ICE and the Border Patrol through intermediaries is a premium subscriber item, so it's impossible to read without a subscription. But Business Insider couldn't help itself. It tweeted out 11 more tweets crowing about its scoop, with each tweet adding more of the story content.
WASHINGTON – Amid reports of thousands of Haitian migrants again heading to the U.S.-Mexico border, the head of the Department of Homeland Security said Tuesday the Biden administration has learned from the unexpected wave of migrants who came last month and is prepared for the possibility of additional groups. After the administration faced criticism for its treatment of more than 10,000 Haitian migrants who had gathered under a bridge at the United States' southern border, Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas told the USA TODAY Editorial Board and newsroom journalists that his agency has developed plans to address additional groups of migrants.CORRECTION*
Stephanie Grisham called out by Steve

Scalise for bold-faced lie in her anti-Trump
tell-all book 2 replies
Among the string of jerks who resigned from President Trump's administration in the wake of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, leaving their colleagues to do all their work while they attempted to rejoin the swamp, Stephanie Grisham, an ex-White House press secretary and ex-press secretary to Melania Trump, was one of them.
Now she's got a tell-all book out, looking to make some money off her eight-years-in-the-Trump administration experience, and more likely to sidle back into the good graces of news outlets such as MSNBC, possibly to win a commentator slot. Tell-all books are useful vehicles for that.
But is she telling all? Turns out she's making things up.
According to Business Insider:
Imagine you are a Honduran. If you make the average Honduran per capita income of $2,405.70 a year, and suddenly learn from a relative up in el norte that Joe Biden is handing out $3,600 a year to anyone in the U.S., legally present or not, for nothing more than having kids, what would you do?
According to the Washington Free Beacon:
President Joe Biden’s budget includes a provision that provides billions of dollars in cash to illegal aliens with children.
... Families, regardless of their legal status, would be eligible to receive checks of $3,600 per year per child. The Democratic bill would amount to a universal basic income

Nearly a year has passed since the 2020 election, yet there has not been a clear, satisfactory answer to the central mystery: How did a dull, declining Joe Biden manage to get more than 81 million votes and win the presidency? After all, Biden spent most of the pandemic-laced campaign in his Delaware basement and his appearances were marked by sparse crowds and signs he had lost more than a step. Yet he flipped five states Hillary Clinton lost in 2016, including Georgia and Arizona, and racked up 306 electoral votes to Donald Trump’s 232.

With Democrat Joe Biden appearing much like an addled absentee landlord, Judge Jeanine Pirro is wondering who is actually in control in the White House, and by logical extension, of the entire U.S. federal government.“What are we supposed to conclude when the most powerful man in the free world says that someone will reprimand him if he doesn’t do what they tell him to do?” she asked. “Is someone else in charge?”Pirro then implied that she thinks she might know who is calling the shots on a de facto basis.
Former President Bill Clinton has been released from a Southern California hospital on Sunday after he spent five nights receiving treatment for a urological infection.
Clinton and his wife, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, left the University of California Irvine Medical Center in Orange, just southeast of Los Angeles, as they held each other's arms. The former president shook hands with hospital staff as he departed the facility alongside his wife of 46 years. Just before his release, the former first lady was seen being escorted to the entrance of the facility early on Sunday morning.

National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases head Dr. Anthony Fauci said on this week’s broadcast of “Fox News Sunday” that Americans who think he is a “polarizing figure” were people who denied “reality.”Anchor Chris Wallace asked, “When this pandemic started, it is fair to say you were generally regarded as the authority on infectious disease. As time has gone on, you have become a polarizing figure, and critics accuse you of sending mixed messages. There’s allegations that you helped fund dangerous research at the Wuhan lab. Two questions, why do you think you’ve become so controversial? And honestly, do you think there’s anything you have done
Breaking: Colin Powell Has Died

Colin Powell, 84, died from complications due to Covid-19, his family said Monday.
"General Colin L. Powell, former U.S. Secretary of State and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, passed away this morning due to complications from Covid 19," the Powell family said in a statement posted on his official Facebook page.
“He was fully vaccinated,” they added. “We want to thank the medical staff at Walter Reed National Medical Center for their caring treatment. We have lost a remarkable and loving husband, father, grandfather and a great American.”
Powell was a distinguished and trailblazing professional soldier whose career took him from combat duty in Vietnam
The Art Institute of Chicago fired all of its roughly 100 volunteer museum guides, or docents, in September because too many of them were wealthy, white women. The news of the mass firing has only trickled out slowly, partly because the institute asked docents not to speak to the media, and because the left-leaning Chicago media showed little interest in covering the issue.(Snip)Ironically, the Journal was able to speak to one of the fired docents, who happened to be black, and defied the museum’s request that no one speak directly to the media—perhaps because she had less fear of being accused of racism.
President Joe Biden and his wife Jill enjoyed an Italian seafood dinner at a Michelin-starred Washington DC restaurant on Saturday evening. The Bidens dressed up for what the White House dubbed as a 'date night' at Fiola Mare in Washington Harbor.The couple looked loved up and held hands as they made their way into the restaurant, followed by secret service downed in black suits and black face masks. They had earlier attended church at Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Georgetown. The date came on 'Sweetest Day' - a holiday celebrated in the Midwest and Florida to celebrate romantic deeds and expressions.
Kamala Harris recorded a video to be played at over 300 Black churches across Virginia urging worshipers to vote for Democrat gubernatorial candidate former Governor Terry McAuliffe, who is caught in an unexpectedly tight race with the Republican candidate, businessman Glenn Youngkin. Recent polls show the race a dead heat with each having leads inside the margin of error.Harris calls on churchgoers to vote for McAuliffe after church. (Photos) CNN posted a copy of the video in two parts.
Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that the supply chain backups at America’s ports were a product of President Joe Biden guiding the economy “out of the teeth of a terrifying recession,” which caused incomes and demand to rise.Anchor Jake Tapper said, “We are seeing supply chain disruption causing everything from higher prices to longer waits for products. Moody’s warns that these supply chain disruptions, quote, ‘will get worse before they get better, ‘ unquote. do Americans need to prepare ourselves for this to get worse before it gets better?”Buttigieg said, “Certainly, a lot of the challenges that we have been experiencing
President Biden will undergo a physical examination soon but no specific date has been set, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said at a news briefing Thursday.
Video from the briefing shows Psaki fielding questions from Playboy reporter Brian Karem as she donned a face mask and prepared to leave the White House briefing room after a session with a roomful of journalists."Hey Jen, will he take a physical anytime soon and report it to the American public?" Karem asked about Biden, who will turn 79 years old Nov. 20 and is the oldest man ever to serve in the Oval Office."He will," Psaki responded.
She's the progressive firebrand who divides the left and is hated by the right, but Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez might not be most outspoken member of her family. Gabriel Ocasio-Cortez, was described as AOC's 'hot, gay, rave-hosting little brother,' in a fawning article published Saturday by The Cut. Self-described anti-capitalist Gabriel, 28, who is partially deaf, is also an aspiring musician, promoter, an advocate for the deaf and hard-of-hearing and a former real-estate agent who does not shy away from controversy.'I think that the Democratic party is so bought and paid for.
The TSA should use its canine teams to keep airport security lines moving if there is a worker shortage amid the federal COVID-19 vaccination mandate, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said Sunday.President Biden’s vaccination order for federal workers takes effect three days before Thanksgiving — the busiest time of the year for air travel.“If TSA lags in jabs, send in the dogs,” Schumer said during a press conference in Manhattan, citing recent revelations from the TSA that 40 percent of its employees remain unvaccinated.
