Brinksmanship Is Harmful
Posted By: Imright, 4/21/2023 12:01:56 PM
During a portion of an interview with NPR released on Thursday, White House Chief of Staff Jeff Zients stated that President Joe Biden won’t negotiate over spending cuts in exchange for raising the debt ceiling with Republicans in Congress like Biden did when he was part of the Obama administration in 2011 because “brinksmanship” “had major impacts on the economy, on families across the country. And we’re not doing that again.” While speaking on “All Things Considered,” NPR White House Correspondent Asma Khalid stated, “I asked Jeff Zients, the White House Chief of Staff, why have you all been so unwilling to negotiate here?

ABC News edited anti-vax comments made by Democratic presidential hopeful Robert F. Kennedy Jr. out of an interview that aired Thursday night.
Kennedy officially launched his longshot presidential bid last week from Boston, taking on Democratic President Joe Biden.
The son of Sen. Robert F. Kennedy and nephew of President John F. Kennedy is an environmental lawyer but for more than a decade has also become one of the country's most prominent anti-vaxxers - falsely linking jabs to autism.
Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-NY) and state lawmakers reached an agreement to phase out natural gas hookups in new buildings beginning in 2025, a first-of-its-kind state law designed to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and transition to cleaner sources of energy.
Hochul said Thursday she reached a handshake deal with lawmakers on the agreement, which was included in New York’s fiscal 2024 budget. Though the budget stops short of an explicit ban on natural gas appliances, it will ban natural gas hookups in most new residential and commercial buildings under seven stories beginning in 2026.
By 2029, that will extend to larger industrial and commercial properties as well.
Elon Musk took to Twitter Thursday to express his opposition to “gender transition” for minors, adding that he considers the term “cisgender” to be a “slur.”
Citing a Swedish study observing “gender affirming care,” which showed that cosmetic “transition” does not reduce propensity to suicide, Musk claimed his position on the controversial procedure on minors is that “we should wait until an individual is mature enough to make their own decisions before other adults make permanent, serious physical changes to them.”
Buses carrying about 300 Americans left the war-torn capital of Sudan late Friday, after Washington came under intense pressure to explain why other countries had rescued their nationals but thousands of U.S. citizens remained without help.
It came as Khartoum continued to rock with the sound of explosions despite a tentative ceasefire, and foreign leaders tried to broker a fresh truce.
The U.S. convoy reportedly set off late Friday on a lengthy journey to a safe location.
Federal regulators are preparing to seize control of San Francisco-based First Republic Bank, according to multiple reports, as the institution appears on track for a possible collapse in one of the biggest banking busts in American history.
Reuters first reported Friday afternoon that the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation is expected to swiftly take the bank under receivership, following a stock crash.
The share price for First Republic’s stock declined some 43% on Friday alone to close at $3.51 following deep selloffs earlier this week—the stock is down around 98% from its 52-week high.
On Thursday’s broadcast of CBS’s “Red & Blue,” Senior Adviser to President Joe Biden Gene Sperling defended President Biden’s refusal to negotiate with Republicans over the debt limit by stating that no one has “the right to say that we want to have a discussion where it’s either my way or we will put the United States in default for the first time in our history.”
Sperling said that House Speaker Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) passing a bill to raise the debt limit “does not give him or really anyone the right to say that we want to have a discussion where it’s either my way or we will

the Letter Calling Hunter's Laptop Russian Disinfo 3 replies
As the Democrats' narrative around the made-to-seem authoritative letter declaring Hunter Biden's laptop to be Russian disinformation falls apart, there are many questions begging answers from the Biden campaign to the highest levels of the Biden administration as well as the 51 former intelligence and national security officials who signed it. But now Fox News Contributor Dan Hoffman, a former CIA station chief who revealed in an op-ed this week for the first time that he had received the letter and was asked to sign it, is explaining why he didn't add his name

Republican Rep. James Comer has accused Joe Biden’s legal team of threatening witnesses who were set to testify in an ongoing investigation into Hunter Biden’s business dealings.
During an interview, Comer spoke about the pressure that has been placed on witnesses in his district, saying, “We’ve got witnesses that are scared to death to come forward. They fear for their lives.” He also mentioned that banks that had worked with his investigation were being squeezed by high-ranking officials in the Democrat Party for complying with subpoenas.
Joe Biden's ex-chief of staff has blamed Kamala Harris's poor approval ratings on 'racism and sexism'.
Ron Klain, who stepped down as the president's top aide in January, said her critics were guilty of prejudice towards the 58-year-old former senator from California.
The long-time Democratic political consultant said in an interview on Thursday that Harris 'takes a lot of grief unjustifiably.' 'I do think sexism and racism are part of the problem, no question about it,' Klain said.
Presidentish Joe Biden’s age has limited his public schedule to a grand total of six hours a day, according to White House officials who admitted to Axios this week that “his age has diminished his energy, significantly limiting his schedule.” Please note that Biden is merely available for “public or private events” during those hours and doesn’t necessarily have anything scheduled.“It’s difficult,” Axios reported, to do anything with Biden “in the morning, in the evening, or on weekends.” “The vast majority of Biden’s public events happen on weekdays, between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.”

Leaked Dobbs Opinion; Suggests Motive
Was Assassination 10 replies
Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito said that he has a “pretty good” idea who was behind the leak of the court’s decision on overturning Roe v. Wade — and that the leak made them targets for possible assassination.
Alito, who authored the landmark Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision that ruled there is no constitutional right to abortion, made the comments in an interview with The Wall Street Journal.
Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) is calling on the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to launch a “full-scale” investigation into the whereabouts of 85,000 migrant children who have been released into the United States under President Joe Biden but whom the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has lost all contact with.
Since Biden took office, HHS officials have lost contact with some 85,000 Unaccompanied Alien Children (UACs) released to adult sponsors after arriving at the U.S.-Mexico border. At the same time, Biden officials have reportedly ignored warnings

Dylan Mulvaney, a biological man who uses she/her pronouns, is making headlines once again for comments made in a TikTok video titled "Adult Bullies" from October 2022 as a launch for his "Days of Girlhood" podcast. The resurfaced clip, tweeted by Oli London and shared by Matt Walsh, has millions of views and features the activist expressing that "I feel like that should be illegal" to misgender him. "Like, the articles written about me using 'he' pronouns and calling me a man over and over again, I feel like that should be illegal," Mulvaney said in the video from last October, adding: "I don't know, that's just bad journalism."

Dylan Mulvaney has already cost Bud Light what is assumed to be millions of dollars (17 percent drop in sales), but he’s not done causing chaos yet.
The transgender “influencer” entered into the broader public eye after Joe Biden invited him to the White House back in 2022. Think about that. A president who hasn’t done a challenging interview since he took office found time to receive softballs from a grown man who pretends to be a prepubescent girl.
But I digress. Mulvaney has been propped up by corporate America despite only claiming to be a “girl” for a little over a year.
This should be embarrassing, even for a seriously self-centered politician so filled with hubris and visions of grandeur that he cannot see anything except his own magnanimity. Alas, for the Narcissus Top Gov and the branding organization behind him, no scale of hubris exclaimed is excessive enough.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis was in Israel Thursday, doing the obligatory indulgency tour all Republican presidential candidates must undertake before they officially announce. During his pre-planned events, DeSantis took credit for moving the U.S-Israel embassy to Jerusalem.

The Times Says Senility Is A-OK

Democrats have mostly given up on denying that Joe Biden is suffering from an advanced stage of dementia. Their strategy, as exemplified by their mouthpiece the New York Times, has shifted to a defense of senility. Do we need a mentally competent president? Nah.
This morning’s Times email, which is curated by David Leonhardt, the Times’s “senior writer” who writes for “The Times’s flagship daily newsletter,” said this morning:
"Strange as it may sound, the American government can function without a healthy president."
Hey, Edith Wilson did a great job!
The issue that makes many Democrats even more anxious than Biden’s second-term capabilities is whether his age will prevent him from winning a second

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates -- Iran's navy seized a Marshall Islands-flagged oil tanker in the Gulf of Oman on Thursday heading to the U.S. amid wider tensions over Tehran's nuclear program, the latest-such capture in a waterway crucial for global energy supplies.
The U.S. Navy's Mideast-based 5th Fleet identified the vessel as the Advantage Sweet. Satellite tracking data for the vessel from MarineTraffic.com showed it in the Gulf of Oman, just north of Oman's capital, Muscat, on Thursday afternoon. It had just come from Kuwait and listed its destination as Houston. The Advantage Sweet issued a distress call at 1:15 p.m. while in international waters as Iran seized

Phoenix Mercury player Brittney Griner spoke to the media as the WNBA prepares to kick off its 2023 season, and at one point in the discussion insisted that it is a “crime” to prevent biological men who claim to be transgender women from playing against natural-born women.
Griner, who is more famous for having been arrested and imprisoned in Russia on drug charges than playing basketball, was asked about the various states that have begun moving to outlaw men playing sports as women.

Fox News is trying to sideline former Tucker Carlson Tonight host Tucker Carlson through the 2024 election, multiple sources familiar with the matter told Breitbart News.
Carlson’s current contract runs through December 2024, and as of now three sources familiar with the matter told Breitbart News that executives at the network are trying to keep Carlson on contract and not release him until after the 2024 election. The shocking decision to cancel Carlson’s top-rated weeknight program came just days after the network shut down its top-rated weekend program with host Dan Bongino. What follows here is an insider account from people actually in the know
Democrats want to do all they can to make abortion an issue that they think helps them in the upcoming election by fearmongering about the positions of Republicans, but what they don’t want to do is be honest about the facts or their radical positions when it comes to being for abortion up to the moment of birth.
They know that most Americans are not supportive of abortion to the moment of birth and that’s why they don’t want to be straight when they are confronted on that question because they are indeed the radicals on this issue.
