'I said to Joe 'I can't just sit by and
do nothing': Jill Biden says she went
to meet Ukrainian refugees because she
was so 'inspired' by sight of them kissing
families goodbye after Putin's invasion
Posted By: Ribicon, 5/8/2022 9:22:23 PM
First Lady Jill Biden spent Mother's Day at the Slovakia-Ukraine border, meeting and offering support to Ukrainian mothers and children who have been displaced by Russia's invasion, after telling President Biden, 'I can't just sit by and do nothing.' The First Lady said in an interview that aired Saturday that the resilience and strength of the refugees who kissed their loved ones goodbye while their country was being attacked inspired her to help—and that she needed to 'go stand with the mothers of Ukraine' on Mother's Day.(Snip)'If they can be strong, then I can be strong for them,' Biden said. 'So I hope I bring strength,

A Wisconsin mom shared her horror after her 13 year-old son was accused of sexual harassment for refusing to refer to a non-binary schoolmate with 'they/them' pronouns. Rosemary Rabidoux hit out after her son Bradon became one of three eighth grade schoolboys at Kiel Middle School subjected to an ongoing probe. It was triggered after they chose not to use the gender neutral pronoun for their unidentified classmate, who they instead referred to using 'she' and her'. Things appear to have escalated quickly with the school district now filing a Title IX complaint against the students, accusing them of sexual harassment for using the 'incorrect' pronouns.
The FDA "dropped the ball" on the country’s baby-formula crisis—shutting down a crucial plant on top of product recalls and then not warning parents of the ramifications, experts told The Post on Friday. Desperate moms and dads have been trawling stores across the country in search of baby formula ever since mega-manufacturer Abbott issued a safety recall in February for products made at its plant in Sturgis, Mich., over contamination concerns.(Snip)“That’s where the FDA and Abbott dropped the ball. … They could have recalled the product without shutting the facility. They do recalls all the time without shutting the facility down.”
The US Navy will scrap nine warships worth $3.2 billion - despite some being just three years old—because their technology is already obsolete. Anti-submarine systems on the Freedom-class combat warships, four of which were commissioned in 2019 and 2020, 'did not work out technically', the Navy's operations chief said. Admiral Michael Gilday asked Congress to sign off on the scrapping, which will save the Navy $391 million.(Snip)'They're incredibly expensive, and they don't have the capabilities that we expected. 'We can't use them, number one because they're not ready to do anything. Number two, when they are, they still break down.'
George P. Bush may be floundering in his race for Texas attorney general due to the political toxicity of his family name, according to all available data. In decades past, there were few political dynasties in Texas as unstoppable as the Bush family name with a solid legacy stretching all the way back to the 1960s. In the age of Trump, the name’s staying power appears to have waned, and George P. Bush may be the latest casualty. Up against incumbent Ken Paxton, Bush cannot seem to find a rhythm with voters who either view him as an untrustworthy RINO or an opportunist spouting Trumpian slogans to win MAGA support.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released a study this week which showed a higher firearm homicide rate in 2020 relative to 2019, and pointed to poverty as a factor in the increase. The CDC study showed that “the firearm homicide rate in 2020 was the highest recorded since 1994.”(Snip)For example, among males the “largest increases in firearm homicide rates were among Black males aged 10–24 (from 54.9 per 100,000 people in 2019 to 77.3 in 2020) and 25–44 years (66.5 to 90.6).” Among females “the highest rates and largest increases were among those who were Black, aged 10–24
Bull-shot! The official White House Twitter account posted false COVID-19 information Thursday, wrongly claiming there was “no vaccine available” when President Biden took office in January 2021.
“When President Biden took office, millions were unemployed and there was no vaccine available,” the verified account tweeted to its 7 million followers Thursday. “In the last 15 months, the economy has created 8.3 [million] jobs and the unemployment rate stands at 3.6%—the fastest decline in unemployment to start a President’s term ever recorded,” the tweet concluded. But eagle-eyed critics were quick to point out that the 79-year-old Biden actually received his first dose of the vaccine
Meet Marvel’s new mutant. A new superhero is getting ready to make her comic debut: Shela Sexton, a.k.a. Escapade, is described as a “total goofball” who’s extremely loyal to her friends and has “a super-strong sense of justice.” She’s also transgender, which according to her co-creator Charlie Jane Anders, has led her to experience “some rejection,” but also shaped her into becoming the superhero she is today.(Snip)Escapade will be introduced to the world in the pages of “Marvel’s Voices: Pride #1,” set to be released on June 22 as part of the publisher’s Pride Month celebrations. She’ll also bring along her best friend and fellow trans mutant
DHS “Disinformation Governance Board” Director Nina Jankowicz, better known as the Biden administration’s Minister of Truth, says Twitter should allow verified users like her to edit other users’ tweets to “add context.” Jankowicz caveated her comments by stating that Twitter had verified many “untrustworthy” people.(Snip)“I am eligible for it because I’m verified, but there are a lot of people who shouldn’t be verified who aren’t, you know, legit, in my opinion. I mean, they are real people, but they’re not, you know, trustworthy.” “Anyway, so verified people can essentially start to edit Twitter the same sort of way Wikipedia is, so they can add context to certain tweets.”
A thief knocked a 24-year-old mom and her 4-year-old son to the ground as he snatched a pricey chain off the woman’s neck in the Bronx, disturbing new video shows.
The mother and son were walking on Grand Concourse near East 181st Street in Fordham Heights around 5:20 p.m. May 4 when the suspect approached them from behind, cops said.
Video released early Friday shows the brute rushing up to the victim and yanking her by the hair—knocking her to the ground and causing her child to fall as well. He grabbed the woman’s chain—worth $6,500—from her neck before running back down
Federal Reserve chair Jay Powell issued a stark warning to Americans already struggling with crippling price rises: There will be more pain ahead as the central bank tries to bring down inflation without plunging the economy into recession. The Fed has begun raising interest rates to slow borrowing and spending enough to cool inflation, which hit a year-on-year rate of 8.3 percent last month.
But Powell said the medicine will bring 'some pain' as the Biden administration tries to manage a crisis that threatens to dominate November's midterm elections.(Snip)'I will also say that the process of getting inflation down to two percent will also include some pain,
Inflation is rapidly eroding the buying power of Social Security benefits, according to new research published this week. The Senior Citizens League, a nonpartisan group that focuses on issues relating to older Americans, estimated on Wednesday that Social Security recipients have lost 40% of their buying power since 2000. "That’s the deepest loss in buying power since the beginning of this study in 2010," said Mary Johnson, a policy analyst at the Senior Citizens League who conducted the research. Although Social Security benefits have climbed by 64% since 2000 thanks to cost-of-living adjustments, typical senior expenses through March 2022 have actually grown by more than double that rate

Former Vice President Mike Pence is set to openly defy former President Donald Trump by holding a rally in support of Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp – who Trump has repeatedly attacked for failing to go after 'fraud' he blames for his 2020 election loss.'Brian Kemp is my friend, a man dedicated to faith, family and the people of Georgia,” the former vice president said. “I am proud to offer my full support for four more years of Brian Kemp as governor of the great state of Georgia.” Kemp is on a short list of public officials who most infuriated Trump as he and his allies sought to turn back
When you go woke, you run the risk of going broke, and apparently, Netflix is pulling the ripcord before the streaming giant good and fully faceplants.
Following a financial report that saw its stock price plummet 37 percent in late April, Netflix is now moving to adjust its culture and reengage its frustrated audience. A new “culture memo” dealing with “artistic expression” has been sent out, and it’s clearly a shot at the woke staffers who have been sandbagging the company. Excerpts come via The Daily Wire.

Dan Crenshaw reveals his true colors, again

A few days ago, GOP Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene from Georgia, and Dan Crenshaw from Texas, were involved in a heated online exchange over providing U.S. aid to Ukraine
Since Russia's incursion began, the U.S has supplied Ukraine with billions of dollars in aid. Back in March, the House and the Senate approved $13.6bn for ‘assistance’ to Ukraine. On Tuesday, the House approved $40 billion more in aid. At the beginning of the month, Biden had requested $33 billion but the House generously offered $7 billion more.
The aid to Ukraine comes as the US, under Biden, is struggling on several fronts.

House Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-SC) said Friday on MSNBC’s “Katy Tur Reports” that if Republican lawmakers were not held accountable for their role leading up to the January 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol, America’s democracy was “teetering on the edge.”Clyburn was discussing the House Select Committee subpoenaed House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and Reps. Jim Jordan (R-OH), Andy Biggs (R-AZ), Mo Brooks (R-AL) and Scott Perry (R-PA).Clyburn said, “At some point in time, you need to think about this country, and all of us are aware that we are at a very critical stage in our country’s history.”

Washington Post fact-checker Glenn Kessler dismissed concerns the Biden administration was sending baby formula to border facilities during a nationwide shortage Thursday. Parents have been struggling to find the essential commodity in stores, with supply dipping to 43% below normal, according to Datasembly, which tracks product data for retailers. However, Kessler defended the administration's actions and called the concerns "faux outrage." "This is a ridiculous faux outrage. The shortage of baby formula is a serious issue that the administration is seeking to address. But at the same time, the administration cannot be faulted for following the law and providing baby
Pennsylvania U.S. Senate candidate Kathy Barnette appears to have been caught making a false claim about voting for Donald Trump during the 2016 primaries.In an interview on the Chris Stigall show, Barnette was asked about her first vote in the state of Pennsylvania, to which she responded that she voted for Trump in the 2016 primaries. “The one that really pops out in my mind is 2016 for the primary for President Trump, as well as for the general election for President Trump,” she said on the show. While Barnette might be telling the truth about her primary vote, her comments certainly contradict what she herself wrote
Harvard Law professor emeritus Laurence Tribe said Thursday on MSNBC’s “Deadline” that former President Donald Trump could face criminal prosecution for espionage while discussing reports that the Department of Justice is investigating Trump’s handling of classified material.
Tribe said, “When we find all of this apparent top secret information finding his way to unsecured boxes to Mar-a-Lago, it’s very encouraging that the Department of Justice isn’t simply asking who packed the boxes, but what did the president then of the United States on his way out of the Oval Office have in mind in taking that information? Did he do anything with it?
The Washington Post is reporting the shift from the White House to disparage their political opposition with the terms “MAGA”, “Ultra-MAGA” and President Trump as the “Great MAGA King,” came from a six-month poll study led by Anita Dunn, the latest senior advisor in the White House.Keep in mind, a few days ago White House spokesperson Jen Psaki said the terminology “ultra-MAGA” was an “organic utterance” from Joe Biden.

The San Diego County Board of Supervisors has adopted a new definition of “woman” that would reportedly allow male-to-female transgender residents to demand inclusion as women in jails, homeless shelters, and domestic violence shelters.
The ordinance, passed by a 3-2 vote on April 26, and ratified on May 10 by the same margin, adopts the United Nations Convention on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW), an international treaty adopted in 1979.
