Biden Declares 'I'm Not Stupid' Just Before
Saying Something Stupid

Joe Biden embarrassed himself (yet again) on Thursday, proving once again that he should never try to riff during a public speech. “I just want you to know, I may be Irish, but I’m not stupid,” Biden quipped during the Annual Friends of Ireland Luncheon. “I married Domenic Giacoppo’s daughter.” As it happens, the man who just insisted that he isn’t stupid confused his wife’s father and grandfather. “First Lady Jill Biden was born to Donald Carl Jacobs and Bonny Jean Jacobs,” explains The Daily Caller. “Her grandfather, Domenico Giacoppo, is from the tiny village of Gesso in Sicily.” Joe Biden has made many attempts at ad-libbing during speeches that have failed spectacularly.

“We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender....”- Winston Churchill
The Taiwanese, like the Ukrainians, pose no threat to their neighbors. But, like Putin, Xi Jinping denies that they have a right to co-exist as a free people. He is surely watching Putin’s efforts to measure China’s chances against Ukraine. China, though, will face unique challenges if it attacks Taiwan, in addition to meeting the same fierce local resistance Putin’s experiencing.
For two decades, Trump has been fully aware of the danger from China.
Democrats are committed "to eliminating carbon pollution from power plants by 2035." They want banks to stop financing fossil fuel development by 2030, and they want to end the use of fossil fuels completely by 2050. In reaction to Russia's war with Ukraine, the Biden administration has stopped imports of Russian oil but is negotiating with Iran and Venezuela to make up the shortfall. The Democrat administration is panicking to assure the supply of a commodity that it wants to cancel. Wars have been fought, won, and lost because of oil. The Democrat party needs to reconsider its green energy goals before it damages America's economy

Far be it from me to pick on an elderly woman twice in one week, but Nancy Pelosi just won’t leave the world alone for that long.
Worse, neither will U2 frontman Bono.
“I got this message this morning from Bono,” Pelosi told the attendees of the White House’s annual Friends of Ireland luncheon. She said that Bono “has been a very Irish part of our lives,” whatever that means.
Before we get to the meat of the matter, let me admit my cultural bias right up front: I don’t care much for U2. This makes me a bad child of the ’80s, I’m sure, but U2’s sound is not for me.
Until sanity is restored in our country, records will show that Lia Thomas was the winner of the 2022 women’s NCAA 500-yard freestyle event. However, we all know the story behind Thomas by now. Lia is not a woman, but a man identifying as a woman. Anyone interested in the sanctity of competition, biological integrity, and saving women’s sports, should celebrate Emma Weyant, the actual woman who won the 2022 women's NCAA 500-yard freestyle event on Thursday night.
The records will show that Weyant finished in second place behind Thomas. But Weyant is the actual she who should be recognized as champion. Thomas’s victory represents everything that detractors feared
Writing in the Wall Street Journal, the Hudson Institute's Walter Russell Mead pronounces the Biden administration's great power diplomacy an unmitigated failure. Mead's criticism cannot be dismissed as a partisan attack — he is a member in good standing of the U.S. foreign policy establishment. Mead is also steeped in history and geopolitics — two subjects that appear to have eluded the stalwarts of President Biden's foreign policy team.
"Most ... of the ideas Team Biden brought to the White House," Mead writes, "failed to work," and most of the changes that U.S. foreign policy will require today and in the immediate future "will be toxic to much
We may not have a lot of strength showing from the White House when it comes to dealing with Russia, but it looks like we have some in Alaska.
Russian Duma member Oleg Matveychev, whom some have referred to as the Kremlin’s “spin doctor,” went on Russian state media and said they want reparations for the sanctions that the U.S. imposed upon them.
Matveychev then said he wants “the return of all Russian properties, those of the Russian empire, the Soviet Union and current Russia, which has been seized in the United States, and so on.” As we noted earlier, that included Alaska and even Fort Ross, California,

governor’s scheme to release convicted

MARION COUNTY, OR- Law Enforcement Today has reported several times on Oregon Gov. Kate Brown’s mass release of prisoners ostensibly due to “COVID.”
Now, a judge has ordered a pause on Brown’s early release of prisoners, as reported in the Epoch Times. The new order refers to prisoners who committed crimes as juveniles, which grants part of the relief sought in a lawsuit filed against Brown by two district attorneys and four members of homicide victims.
Since March 1, 2020, Brown has granted early release to nearly 1,200 convicted felons, including 10 convicted murderers.
Marion County Circuit Court Judge David Leith ruled earlier this month that Brown unlawfully conferred her clemency powers
A Russian model who called Vladimir Putin a "psychopath" has been found dead and stuffed inside a suitcase, a report says.
Gretta Vedler, 23, went missing a year ago after her anti-Putin social media rant, but the two events do not appear to be connected.
"Vedler's ex-boyfriend Dmitry Korovin, 23, has now confessed to strangling her to death before driving her 300 miles to the Lipetsk region and abandoning the body in the boot of a car.." the Daily Star reports.
Korovin told authorities that he slept in a hotel room for three nights with her dead body, which was stuffed in a newly bought suitcase.
The country is in the very best of hands — Nancy Pelosi’s trembling hands at the command of what appears to be a cocktail-impaired brain.
Trust me. I know the drinking signs. It’s my considered opinion that the San Francisco-based House Speaker is filled to the gills in the clip you’re about to witness.
It’s bad enough when a Blue Enclave progressive tries to explain military and geopolitical events, like an internet rando on fentanyl trying to explain rocket science to Elon Musk.
Nevertheless, Pelosi’s love for the camera, though unrequited, necessitates that she publicly pontificate whenever the red light comes on, even when her BA count is double the legal limit
The American dollar is currently the world's reserve currency, meaning it is the primary means of handling transactions between nations that have differing currencies. To qualify as a reserve currency, it must be stable and readily available, and it can be considered a safe-haven currency. In some ways, a reserve currency can become a self-fulfilling prophecy because its very status enhances its value. For Americans, that status helps prop up America's enormous debt load. That's why it was very disturbing to learn that Saudi Arabia, disgusted with the current management in Washington, D.C., is looking to start pricing
Taking Calls from Biden

Though much attention has been given in the media to Israel’s great unhappiness with the Iran deal that the Americans are close to concluding in Vienna, the UAE and Saudi Arabia are also most unhappy with the revived deal. A report on how they have expressed their alarm and displeasure is here: “Saudi Arabia, UAE leaders not returning Biden’s calls, disappointed with US – report,” by Tal Spungin, Jerusalem Post, March 9, 2022:
"The leaders of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have been declining calls from US President Joe Biden for several weeks, The Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday,

The Department of Homeland Security is considering calling on volunteers for reinforcement at the southern border, fearing an onslaught of migrants that would far outweigh its resources. The U.S. could be just hours away from another wave of mass migration if the Biden administration lifts Title 42, a provision border agents have relied on to quell the border crisis during the pandemic.DHS Deputy Secretary John Tien asked employees 'to consider stepping forward to support the DHS Volunteer Force,' according to an email, more than a year after the volunteer force was activated for last year's migrant surge.
America's biggest credit-reporting firms announced they will strip tens of billions of dollars in medical debt from consumers’ credit reports starting this summer - an attempt at relief for the reported 23 million Americans whose credit has been marred by overdue medical costs, hampering their ability to buy homes and take loans.Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion - the world's three largest consumer credit reporting agencies - all announced Friday that they would collectively wipe 70 percent of a reported $195 billion deficit from their collection accounts, an amount that's likely surged since the start of the pandemic.The change specifically targets already paid debts still stuck in collections,
Representative Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) said Thursday on CNN’s “Newsroom” that if former President Donald Trump got the Republican nomination for president in 2024, “many” people would “move heaven and earth to ensure he doesn’t win.”Discussing Trump, Sciutto said, “Final question if I can? You are among the names mentioned who might challenge him for the nomination in 2024, should he decide to run. It looks more and more like he will run, maybe Liz Cheney, perhaps Mike Pence. Do you believe there will be a competitive GOP primary that you will get the opportunity to do so?
World War Two hero Audie Murphy, former Secretary of State Colin Powell and ex-President Dwight Eisenhower are set to have their names used on US military bases whose titles honor Confederate figures. Murphy, a former US Army soldier, became the most-decorated serviceman of World War Two. Powell was the first black person to serve as Secretary of State, between 2001 and 2005, and died last year. Eisenhower was a hero World War Two commander who later served as president between 1953 and 1961.
A same-sex kiss has been restored to the final cut of Pixar’s upcoming animated film Lightyear after LGBTQIA2S+ employees and their allies complained that Disney executives had censored “overtly gay affection” in the company’s films, according to a report by Variety. A source close to the production told Variety that Lightyear features a female lead who is in a relationship with another woman, and a kiss between the two characters had been cut from the film. The gay kiss was added back into the movie last week, following the outrage from a woke mob at Pixar Animation Studios.(Snip)Earlier this month, DeSantis debunked leftist falsehoods on the bill,
RINO Ben Crenshaw labeled Americans who don’t want to send their children to war with Russia in Ukraine, Putin apologists. When he did this on FOX News he was called out.
Ben Crenshaw was on FOX and Friends on Thursday. He told the audience how disturbing it was to him that anyone would oppose not going to war against Russia. When Rachel Campos-Duffy said most Americans question US involvement in such a war he lost it.
University of Pennsylvania swimmer Lia Thomas made history Thursday as the first openly transgender person to win a Division I national championship.
Thomas, a senior on the women's swim team, finished the 500-yard freestyle at the front of the pack in 4 minutes, 33.24 seconds at the McAuley Aquatic Center in Atlanta. "It means the world to be here," Thomas said in an interview after the win. Thomas competed against University of Virginia freshman Emma Weyant, University of Texas freshman Erica Sullivan, and Stanford University senior Brooke Forde. Thomas ended up finishing 1.75 seconds ahead of second-place Weyant.
Fauci Says He’s Considering Stepping Down
29 replies
Dr. Anthony Fauci said in a new interview that he is considering stepping away from the position he’d held since 1984.
Fauci, the longtime director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), was asked during a podcast released March 18 whether he was mulling retirement or transitioning to a less-demanding job.
“I certainly am because I’ve got to do it sometime,” Fauci, 81, said.
“I can’t stay at this job forever, unless my staff is going to find me slumped over my desk one day. I’d rather not do that,” he added.
Fauci was appointed to his position in 1984 during the Reagan administration.

Give up your car and start walking. That’s an order. The International Energy Agency (IEA) on Friday directed global governments to urgently cut oil supply to domestic consumers and encourage compliance with its call for lowered consumption.
The IEA 10-point plan to drive “changes in the behaviour of consumers” and reduce gas demand at the pump includes reducing speed limits, working from home three days a week, more electric cars, car-free Sundays, more cycle lanes, cheaper public transport and greater use of long-distance trains over planes.
The IEA also called on the OPEC+ group of oil-producing nations led by Saudi Arabia
Walt Disney World has reportedly denounced a routine by a high school drill team that was accused of “racism” and borrowing from Native American stereotypes during a recent performance there.
Video shot March 15 of the Port Neches-Groves High School Indianettes from Texas shows the all-women squad dressed in purple with white fringe as they march and dance—seemingly borrowing from Native culture—while also chanting, “Scalp ’em, Indians, scalp ’em.”
The footage of the group, who were invited to perform in Orlando, sparked a backlash by Native American officials who called their act “dehumanizing.” “The live performance in our park did not reflect our core values,
“He affects unselfishness, but is in reality fanatically, even maniacally, self-centered.... He is childlike in his pursuit of pleasure, but shrewd and willful in his studied neglect of responsibility. His sensibilities are exquisitely tender, and yet he has a talent for causing pain...He professes universal tolerance and sweetness to all, though is willing to put his friends through shame, fear, and harm rather than see his own comfort threatened.” No, this quote does not refer to Alec Baldwin, apt though it may seem. It is drawn from an essay about Harold Skimpole, a character in Charles Dickens’ Bleak House.

To some users, it feels like another Big Tech bait and switch. To others, it’s a case of getting half a loaf. But to many, it’s a betrayal of a principled promise. The search engine DuckDuckGo will now begin making judgments about the accuracy of the information produced by its search algorithms.
