WH Brings in More Help for Briefing, but
It Still Turns Into a Dumpster Fire

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre has been having a tough time with her job. And yes, she’s–without argument–not doing very well. But to be honest, how can anyone effectively defend Joe Biden’s actions at this point, because he keeps doing the indefensible? There is no real way to effectively defend the mess, so anyone who tries would have a hard time. On Tuesday, she said that the American Rescue Plan, one of the things that likely contributed to inflation, helped against inflation ,in a maddeningly wrong comment. But instead of changing the policies or doing the right thing, the Biden team seems to be employing two different tactics.

It's hard to defend a tone-deaf, "we're going to do it our way, come hell or highwater" know it all Slow Joe and his even slower team of policy makers. They have no answers except reversing policies and doing things like Trump. And of course, they can't do that. Let's face it there is nothing we can do until November when we hopefully take the House and Senate and impeach the seriously corrupted stooge in chief.

The root problem is that Dems have crashed the economy and poured gasoline on it and set fire to it. But, to that add the basic fact that Jean-Pierre (Jumper) is STUPID.

The two tactics, as I see it, are having Peppermint Patty tell bold-faced lies about the topic under discussion or having Karine give a prepared answer that does not match the question. Viewers should have to pay for that kind of entertainment in place of serious government spokesperson performance. Bringing in other "experts" only compounds the comedy. Who is going to be next in that position when Karine finally gets burnt out and leaves. Lori Lightfoot maybe, she's a fairly adept liar, meets Joe's list of qualifications and Chicago will not miss her.

"Kirby was marginally better than Jean-Pierre because he didn’t look as much like a deer caught in the headlights, as Jean-Pierre." Kirby keeps his cool when lying or "Don't ever let them see you sweat". But it's too late. Almost no one believes Brandon, his administration, or his enabling media. Doocy keeps asking questions that he KNOWS the WH stooges have no answers to and they proceed to prove their ignorance and stupidity. Can you imagine how bad it's going to get in the administration after November? Brandon's senile anger will be uncontrollable as it all collapses for him. They could sequester him to minimize exposure OR they could let him speak, expose himself, and Amendment 25 him. To Kamala???? I don't think there is an abysmal stupidity clause in the Constitution, although maybe they could have her declared brain dead. Impeachment? Maybe some dems would vote for it just to escape their own mess. Two more years of having the WH in chaos might banish the dems to wander in the desert for 40 years.

Biden and his White House politburo will have a hard time getting rid of Karine as she is plugged into a good number of categories within the Democrat racial, gender, and LGBTQI identity politics schemes. If she is unceremoniously dumped from the White House podium and is replaced by an old White guy, the left wing of the Democrat Party is likely to go nuts. The only way out for Biden now is maybe to appoint Karine as the next US Ambassador to Haiti, or some other up and coming third world country that is home to a population favored by the progressive and socialist Democrats. One problem remains, will Karine’s wife go along with that?

She has a binder in front of her. When she is asked a question, she finds the related section within the binder and reads the response on the page. Whether it answers the question or not, or even if it makes sense is not relevant.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) addressed critics who are lambasting the state for standing alone refusing to preorder vaccines for children under the age of five, making it clear that Florida officials believe the “risks outweigh the benefits.” However, the governor made it clear that people can absolutely exercise the free choice to get the shot for their children, as they will still have access. “Our Department of Health has been very clear the risks outweigh the benefits. And we recommend against — that’s not the same as banning it,” DeSantis said during Thursday’s press conference, defending the state’s decision, as it is reportedly the only state

Senate 'Gun Control' Legislation Crashes

Senate negotiations over “gun control” legislation broke down abruptly on Thursday after Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) walked out. The bill was expected to pass quickly, and an initial framework seemed to be broadly supported by both Republicans and Democrats. But as is the way of Washington, the devil is in the details, and who could have possibly guessed that Democrats would attempt to take a few more bites of the apple on the way? Reuters has the report. The lead Republican negotiator in U.S. Senate negotiations toward a bipartisan gun safety bill walked out of the talks on Thursday, dimming the likelihood of a vote on the legislation before senators leave

A Greenfield, Massachusetts, mother and her 12-year-old child reportedly obtained a temporary harassment prevention order against The Flash star Ezra Miller on Wednesday, alleging that the actor had intimidated their family by brandishing a firearm during an argument and acted inappropriately toward the child, who identifies as nonbinary. The protection order, reviewed by the Daily Beast, was signed by a judge who spoke with the 12-year-old accuser — whose identity remains anonymous — their mother, and a neighbor who witnessed the alleged incident involving Miller, who also identifies as nonbinary. On February 2, the three were with Miller at the neighbor’s home in Greenfield when tensions started rising.

A coalition of pro-life organizations sent a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland Thursday demanding action to address the recent wave of pro-abortion terrorism and intimidation. In a letter organized by the non-profit CatholicVote, 25 pro-life leaders, mostly think tank presidents, called the Justice Department’s attention to the many attacks on pregnancy centers, churches, and even Supreme Court justices that have occurred since the Dobbs majority opinion leak last month. “The relative silence from the Administration endangers Americans even more,” the letter read. “One extremist group is advocating for violence in response to the final Supreme Court decision on Dobbs,” the group said, invoking a recent statement from rogue pro-abortion militants

Republican attorneys general in 26 states have called on the Biden administration to drop its LGBTQ requirements for federal school lunch funding, a policy that is accused of using “hungry children as a human shield.” The letter urged President Biden to withdraw the Agriculture Department’s May 5 memorandum, which said that state agencies and schools participating in federal food assistance programs must update their policies to ban discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. The guidance raised fears that the administration would cut off Food and Nutrition Act funding to schools that prohibit transgender girls from using girls’ restrooms and participating in girls’ sports.

Leaders of the Jan. 6 select committee say the time has come to interview Virginia “Ginni” Thomas, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, about her connections to Donald Trump’s attempts to overturn the election. Panel Chair Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) and Vice Chair Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) agreed Thursday that the committee needed to delve into Thomas’ role.

Stocks tumbled around the globe as recession fears resurfaced, with the Federal Reserve struggling to get on top of inflation that’s proved more persistent and widespread than officials anticipated. The rally that followed the Fed’s decision fizzled out, with the S&P 500 down 3%, on pace for its lowest since December 2020. Megacaps Apple Inc. and Tesla Inc. sank at least 3.4%. Kroger Co. plunged after the supermarket company said higher costs hurt margins. Revlon Inc. filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy as the supply-chain crunch proved the tipping point for the debt-laden cosmetics giant.

Amidst record prices, the White House has been desperately searching for a way to bring down costs without actually having to change its policy direction. That means lots of whining about supposed “price gouging” and threatening oil companies. On Tuesday, the threats escalated to the use of emergency powers, specifically the Defense Production Act, to force oil companies to refine more gasoline. President Biden will warn CEOs of the nation’s largest oil companies on Wednesday that he’s considering invoking emergency powers to boost U.S. refinery output, according to a letter obtained by Axios. Why it matters: Biden’s direct engagement with the oil giants is part of an ongoing White House effort

The image taken by a White House photographer and published Wednesday night by ABC portrays the Vice President, second lady Karen, his daughter Charlotte and his Republican Congressman Greg sitting and waiting as the chaos unfolded. Karen is seen closing the curtains so rioters couldn't see inside while the vice president, Charlotte and Greg sit and wait on chairs.

Among its tips was also to have sex while still fully-clothed, to ensure all rashes are covered and even to avoid kissing.(Snip)The British Columbia Center for Disease Control said people should 'use barriers, like walls (e.g. glory holes)

(snip) The American Petroleum Institute, an industry group, on June 14 released a list of 10 steps the U.S. government should take to boost domestic oil production, which still lags behind pre-pandemic levels and barely budged for half a year now.
