Pelosi won’t say if Biden should seek
second White House term
Posted By: Imright, 9/22/2022 9:35:46 PM
House Speaker Rep. Nancy Pelosi refused to say on Thursday if President Joe Biden should seek a second term in 2024 or if her fellow Democrat should step aside and let a younger candidate run. Pelosi sidestepped the question about Biden’s future that came from a reporter during a press conference at the Capitol, and she instead launched into a full-throated endorsement of the president’s successful 2020 campaign. “President Biden is the president of the United States. He did a great service to our country; he defeated Donald Trump. Let’s not forget that. “If you care about the air we breathe, the water we drink, the education of our children,

Former Secretary of State and Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign staffers were so paranoid they actually thought the Russians would poison her via a handshake with her opposing candidate for president, Donald Trump, at one of their debates, a forthcoming book reveals.
The episode is recounted in the book Confidence Man: The Making of Donald Trump and the Breaking of America by New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman,
With the midterms on the horizon and President Joe Biden’s dismal approval numbers causing alarm within the Democratic Party, former President Barack Obama is playing the race card trying to shift the narrative from Biden’s failed leadership to falsely insinuating that Republicans are “racists” for opposing mass illegal immigration.
On Sunday at the L’Attitude conference, an event for Latino business professionals in San Diego, Obama said, “Right now, the biggest fuel behind the Republican agenda is related to immigration and the fear that
TORONTO— Aaron Judge tied Roger Maris’ American League record of 61 home runs in a season, going deep for the New York Yankees against the Toronto Blue Jays on Wednesday night.
The 30-year-old slugger drove a full-count pitch from Tim Mayza over the left-field fence in the seventh inning at Rogers Centre.
Judge moved past the 60 home runs Babe Ruth hit in 1927, which had stood as the major league mark until Maris broke it in 1961. All three stars reached those huge numbers playing for the Yankees.
Barry Bonds holds the big league record of 73 for the San Francisco Giants in 2001.
Who is it that’s destroying America? Is it the party that prodded on and encouraged riots for months following the death of a career criminal and fentanyl user in Minneapolis, setting the country alight and causing billions in property damage and dozens of deaths? Or is it the party that explicitly aims to put “America First” and “Make America Great Again”?
Unsurprisingly, the party behind the torching of small businesses and Visigoth-like rampage through our cities while attempting to “deconstruct” our history is blaming the other side, saying that it’s really the GOP that wants to destroy America.
With Hurricane Ian bearing down on Florida, politics was rightly put aside as Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) and President Biden (D) were working together to get resources and support to the state. But the cackling coven of ABC’s The View were so filled with hate in their hearts that they lashed out at DeSantis for thanking Biden and suggested he was like a little dictator. But one cast member took issue with how their network and the media were playing politics with the storm even calling it “clickbait.”
This week, the Poynter Institute and their PolitiFact website are hosting their "United Facts of America" conference to "celebrate facts" with a cast of liberal journalists, including PBS anchor Judy Woodruff, NPR TV critic Eric Deggans, CNN "misinformation" reporter Donie O'Sullivan and CNN legal analyst Joan Biskupic.
We've also found the "fact checking" at PolitiFact has a liberal tilt. Earlier this year, a NewsBusters study of Biden’s first year in office – from January 20, 2021 through January 19, 2022 – found Biden was fact-checked 40 times, while Biden critics were checked on 230 occasions
Running America on Imaginary Technology

The human mind has a specific talent for extrapolation. That is, it has the propensity to project current events and technologies along a straight timeline with a constant slope into the future, predicting what the future will look like, and when it will occur.
Unfortunately, this talent is frequently vastly inaccurate. History and human events rarely follow a straight line. Some technological advancements occur on an exponential or geometric curve, while others flatline.
In the 1960’s, it was widely predicted that we would all be flying around in jetpacks and flying cars like the Jetsons by 1980.
The idyllic coastal town of Fort Myers, Florida now looks like it has fallen into the ocean as floodwaters from Hurricane Ian engulfed the city Wednesday.
The water is rising so quickly footage from the same camera just an hour apart shows it becoming submerged.
In the first video, the camera positioned six feet above the ground at Lani Kai Resort resort shows fast-moving water flooding the street with garbage floating away.
An hour later, the camera was inundated with water and at times fully submerged.

Funding for 87,000 IRS Agents in Inflation
Reduction Act 6 replies
In response to President Joe Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act, House Rep. Jim Banks (R-Ind.) introduced a bill that would rescind the bill’s funding of 87,000 new IRS Agents and provide Americans with a tax break.
On Sept. 26, Banks introduced the Defunding the IRS Army Act to “rescind” the funding of 87,000 additional IRS Agents included in the Democrats’ reconciliation bill, and “make permanent” the standard deduction in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.
Banks’ bill comes as a response to the Inflation Reduction Act, which was passed by Congress and signed into law by President Biden on Aug.16.
Donald Trump's net worth has increased since leaving office in January of last year, Forbes reported on Tuesday.
The outlet's annual wealth tracker calculated the former president's net worth to be $3.2 billion, $700 million more than it was in September 2021.
It's the most Trump has been worth since he became president.
Forbes estimated his value to be $3.7 billion in 2016, and fell by more than a billion in 2020 and 2021 - at a time when the COVID-19 pandemic was wreaking havoc on the global economy.

President Joe Biden warned oil executives on Wednesday not to use Hurricane Ian as an excuse to raise oil prices, illustrating how important the issue is ahead of the midterm elections.
The president issued the dire warning, even repeating himself, during opening remarks at the White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition and Health.
“I want to add one more warning. That’s warning to the oil and gas industry executives. Do not, let me repeat, do not! Do not use this as an excuse to raise gasoline prices or gouge the American people,” Biden said during a briefing on Hurricane Ian preparations. “The price of oil has stayed relatively low.

Republican Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s super PAC dropped nearly $12 million in new spending on competitive races in key battlegrounds — but none of that spending is for one of the most competitive races of all: GOP rookie Blake Masters versus Democrat incumbent Mark Kelly in Arizona.
McConnell’s allies in Georgia, North Carolina, New Hampshire, and Alaska will each claim a portion of the pot from the Kentucky lawmaker’s Senate Leadership Fund, according to new numbers out Tuesday, while Arizona venture capitalist Masters remains abandoned by the top elected Republican in the country.

President Biden asked for the late Rep. Jackie Walorski to identify herself at a Washington event Wednesday, forgetting that the Indiana Republican died in a car crash last month.
Biden made the embarrassing error while thanking bipartisan members of Congress at a nutrition event near the White House.
“I want to thank all of you here, including bipartisan elected officials like Representative [Jim} McGovern, Senator [Mike] Braun, Senator [Cory] Booker, Representative Jackie — are you here? Where’s Jackie? — I think she was going to be here,” the president said.
Biden, 79, is the oldest-ever president and his mental acuity is regularly questioned by his political foes.
A drug that's contributed to the deaths of tens-of-thousands of Americans last year has been found hidden in Skittles and Nerds packaging and could be peddled to young children via social media.
During the period of May 23 to Sept 8 this year, 10.2 million fentanyl pills and about 980 pounds of fentanyl powder were seized by the the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) as part of the One Pill Can Kill initiative.
Of the 390 cases investigated during this period, 51 cases have been linked to overdose poisonings and 35 cases link directly to one or both of the primary Mexican cartels responsible for the majority of fentanyl
Sen. Joe Manchin’s humiliation was brought to completion on Tuesday after his Democrat-negotiated permitting reform deal officially fell through.
Per RedState’s previous reporting, Manchin stabbed Republicans in the back during the summer, waiting until the CHIPS Act passed before doing an about-face on a big-spending reconciliation bill full of “climate change” payoffs. The West Virginia senator had supposedly struck a deal whereby he would pass the falsely named Inflation Reduction Act in exchange for Democrat support for permitting reform for oil and gas projects.

It was the Great Depression. The unemployment rate was over 25 percent. An estimated 12 million people were out of work, about one-fourth of the civilian labor force.
“More than 11,000 of 24,000 banks had failed, destroying the savings of depositors,” according to the National Archives.
Ron DeSantis is the presumed Republican frontrunner presidential candidate in 2024 if Donald Trump decides not to run. This idea terrifies Democrats and their corporate media allies, who view DeSantis as a more polished version of the former president and who has unrivaled conservative bonafides from his time navigating the pandemic by placing freedom in all of his decision making.
This is classic Joe Biden.
Joe Biden destroys everything he touches.
Just like Barack Obama famously said, “Never underestimate Joe’s ability to f*ck things up.”
In January, Biden took credit when the stock market rallied.“It has hit record after record after record on my watch, while making things more equitable for working class people,” Biden said in January.
Joe Biden also took a swipe at Trump.
“The stock market -— the last guy’s measure of everything, is about 20% higher than it was when my predecessor was there,” Biden said.
Transgender men and nonbinary teenagers who underwent breast removal surgery reported having a better body image afterward, according to a new study. Northwestern Medicine looked at 70 female-body patients between the ages of 13 and 24 who either received “top surgery,” or mastectomies (36 patients), or who received testosterone therapy but didn’t get mastectomies (34 patients). Researchers had patients report about their body image before they began their treatment path and then three months later. The study found that “gender-affirming top surgery is associated with significant improvement in chest dysphoria, gender congruence and body image in transmasculine and nonbinary teens and young adults,” according to a press release
Progressives who are still reeling from the end of Roe v Wade are already expecting the worst from the Supreme Court’s next term which starts next week. One of the big issues the court will be considering in the next term is affirmative action in college admissions. Time published a primer yesterday.
The high court will hear two cases this term that could determine the constitutionality of race-conscious admissions policies—and the decision could fundamentally reshape higher education across America.
The high court will hear both cases on Oct. 31. The group Students for Fair Admissions, which says its mission is to help “restore colorblind principles to our nation’s schools, colleges and universities,”
The White House launched a confusing and nonsensical explanation for why President Joe Biden was looking for late Representative Jackie Walorski during an event after she was killed in a car crash in Indiana last month–and claimed she was 'at top of mind.' The briefing room devolved into shouts as Biden's Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre sent reporters into a tizzy during Wednesday's briefing when she repeatedly suggested that the president did not forget Walorski was dead when calling out for her during his remarks earlier in the day.(Snip)He interrupted his own remarks to ask: 'Jackie, are you here?' 'Where's Jackie? She must not be here,' Biden concluded.
Three deep-water explosions destroyed the Nord Stream pipelines under the Baltic Sea on Monday. While the MSM and governments reported “leaks” in the pipelines following sudden pressure drops to zero, Swedish seismologists knew better. One of the three explosions measures 2.3 on the Richter Scale of earthquake intensity, but this was no earthquake. It was explosion—like a gigantic undersea mine. Via Reuters:
Bjorn Lund, seismologist at the Swedish National Seismic Network at Uppsala University, said seismic data gathered by him and Nordic colleagues showed that the explosions took place in the water and not in the rock under the seabed.
