14th Amendment ‘Not Good’ But Possible
Emergency Option
Posted By: Imright, 5/7/2023 8:27:32 PM
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that President Joe Biden invoking the 14th Amendment to address the debt ceiling was a “not good” emergency option that could cause a “constitutional crisis.” Anchor George Stephanopoulos said, “Of course, there’s always the chance for this negotiation that you don’t reach a deal, and then it comes back to the president. He said on Friday night that he is not ready. The 14th Amendment that it should not be questioned. And the implications would be the United States would continue to issue debt, saying it is unconstitutional not to. The president says he is not ready to do that, but

New York — Donald Trump’s town hall forum on CNN on Wednesday is the first major television event of the 2024 presidential campaign — and a gigantic test for the chosen moderator, Kaitlan Collins.
Both sides of the political divide expressed suspicion when the CNN forum at New Hampshire’s St. Anselm College was announced last week. Some Democrats question whether the former president should be given the airtime, while Republicans wonder if a network Trump has long disparaged can be fair.
Once it begins, Collins must give audience members the chance to ask questions while determining when to step in with her own.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said that he was not confident Republicans could take back the Senate majority next year - but outlined the GOP's strategy in an interview Monday.
Talking by phone to CNN, McConnell said Republicans' top targets are Pennsylvania, Ohio, Montana and West Virginia.
Overall, the map is favorable for Republicans, with Democrats needing to defend 23 seats, while Republicans will only be up for reelection in 11.
The judge in the Stormy Daniels hush-money case on Monday barred former President Donald Trump from sharing evidence and other material from the case publicly.
Judge Juan Merchan also banned Trump from looking at evidence without his lawyers present.
The Manhattan District Attorney's office had sought the order due to the fear that Trump would 'inappropriately' post content from the case on social media or elsewhere.
Devon Archer, the former business partner of Hunter Biden, is being pushed by friends to spill any dirt he has on the first family to avoid jail time.
Last year, Archer was sentenced to a year and a day in prison for swindling the financially-strapped Oglala Sioux Indian tribe out of more than $60 million.
That business deal was unrelated to the ventures Archer had with the first son. On Sunday, New York Post columnist Miranda Devine wrote that Archer was being pressed to divulge any information that he knows about the Bidens' business practices as he makes a final appeal in a Lower Manhattan courtroom Tuesday.
Kari Lake and her attorneys appeared in a Maricopa County Superior Court status conference earlier today outlining the schedule for the remanded fraudulent signature verification claim.
Judge Peter Thompson previously dismissed the lawsuit on Christmas Eve, despite the evidence of massive voter disenfranchisement targeting Republicans and obviously false trial testimony by County Elections officials.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, The Arizona Supreme Court ruled in Lake’s favor and remanded the “erroneous[ly]” dismissed signature verification fraud count back to the trial court for further review; however, Maricopa County still refuses to allow her legal team or
Not content with limiting President Joe Biden to a modern-record low of full press conferences, the White House staff on Monday banned The Post’s Steven Nelson from the prez’s only daytime public event — leaving around 20 of the venue’s 50 or so seats empty.
Biden stomped out of a February presser on China in same room, griping “give me a break” about journalists’ failure to be “polite” after the Post reporter asked, “Is your ability to deal with China compromised by your family’s business relationships in China?”
Last Friday, the prez refused to take press questions while claiming he had a “major press conference” that night; in fact it was
On Monday, former NFL quarterback Brett Favre called for a boycott of Fox News following the recent firing of Tucker Carlson from the network. Favre, who is known for his conservative views, expressed his support for Carlson in a social media post and urged others to join him in boycotting the network.
Favre’s call to action comes after former Fox News host Megyn Kelly made comments on her podcast, suggesting that the network was trying to silence Carlson in an effort to rebuild its audience. Kelly claimed that Fox News was relying on the loyalty of its viewers to keep them tuned in, even in the face of controversy.
The Biden administration’s Department of Energy (DOE) has announced new rules cracking down on dishwashers, claiming that they will save Americans over $650 million in annual energy and water bills. However, many are skeptical of the DOE’s claims, arguing that these new rules are just another example of government overreach and unnecessary regulation.
The proposed standards for electric motors, dishwashers, and beverage vending machines are being touted as a way to reduce carbon pollution and conserve energy and water. However, critics argue that these rules will actually do more harm than good, by imposing unnecessary costs
MSNBC host Joe Scarborough said that Governor Greg Abbott’s negligence (R-TX) was to blame for the shooting that took place on Saturday at an outlet mall in his state — and another deadly incident involving a man who drove a vehicle into a crowd of migrants — arguing that Abbott was “refusing” to protect Texans.
Scarborough and his cohost Mika Brzezinski addressed the weekend’s violence on Monday’s broadcast of “Morning Joe,” beginning with an editorial sent to the governor by The Dallas Morning News editorial board.
Joe Biden was self-deprecating Monday evening after being introduced by Academy Award winning actor Ke Huy Quan during a special White House showing of the first episode of American Born Chinese.
During an Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month event at the White House, Biden said he can't sing, dance or 'do much of anything.'
Notably, when Biden hosted South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol for a State Dinner at the White House last month, he did not join the world leader in singing American Pie in front of the crowd.
Rep. Vicente Gonzalez (D-TX) on Monday voiced his support for extending a Trump-era and GOP-backed immigration policy expected to end on Thursday, saying he wants to ensure a "smooth transition" as officials warn of record numbers of migrant crossings.
"I am for the extension of Title 42, at least for a little while longer," Gonzalez told the Washington Examiner on Monday. "And the reason is because I think that would give us an opportunity to build much more infrastructure to assure that it's a smooth transition from Title 42 to ultimately Title 8."
In a first in U.S. history, a presidential candidate in an election campaign will be forbidden to defend himself from political accusations pertaining to a criminal trial.
Former President Donald Trump has been restricted from publicly posting about certain evidence in the criminal hush money case against him on social media, according to an order issued by New York State Judge Juan Merchan.The order largely grants a request from Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, which limits what Trump can disclose publicly about the new evidence from the prosecution before the case goes to trial.

There was a lot of discourse around President Joe Biden turning down King Charles III’s invitation to the coronation. Even though a U.S. president has never attended a coronation, some critics felt like this was a snub against the royal family. First Lady Dr. Jill Biden and her granddaughter, Finnegan, went instead, but now, Twitter is calling foul on their less-than-ideal seating placement.
Users of the social media platform are frustrated that coronation organizers wanted world leaders there, but when they got the first lady instead, they feel like King Charles didn’t treat her with the respect she deserves. And boy, did they have some thoughts.
Two weeks ago, President Joe Biden announced that he is running for reelection in 2024, promising to “finish the job”. What exactly does he want to finish, other than American exceptionalism as we know it?
America is rapidly imploding on many fronts – financial and economic, cultural, safety, and our place in the world. Does finishing the job mean erasing every achievement of former President Donald Trump? Or is he completing former President Barack Obama’s 2008 campaign promise, "We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America"?
U.S. Air Force abandoned an experiment aimed at boosting pilot training graduation rates for women and minority pilots after the 2021 initiative failed to achieve the intended results and officers privately warned it could violate anti-discrimination policies, according to documents obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.
As part of the larger military-wide effort to promote diversity in the service’s pilot ranks, the 19th Air Force command near San Antonio, Texas, “clustered” racial minorities and female trainees into one class, dubbed “America’s Class,” to find out if doing so would improve the pilots’ graduation rates.
Amid the fanfare of King Charles' coronation over the weekend, it was easy to miss President Biden's climate czar John Kerry — who flew to the U.K. without regard for the emissions his travel necessitated — sitting in attendance at the official ceremony.
There were some, however, who did pick Kerry out in the crowd and noted something interesting about his appearance. Dressed in a suit, the former Secretary of State was weighed down with service medals from the United States military...the medals he previously was publicly proud to discard as a show of his allegedly strongly held convictions.

Drag Queen recruitment ads from ‘destructive’
GOP criticism 31 replies
Retired U.S. Navy Commander Julianna Vida slammed one Republican Party lawmaker’s criticism of the Navy officially using a drag queen to boost recruitment for the military branch.
In a statement provided to Fox News Digital this week, Vida said that Sen. Tommy Tuberville’s assessment that the Navy has become "preoccupied with identity politics" is "destructive" and "undermines" the Navy’s methods of recruiting new members.
Vida, who was in the Navy for over 30 years and currently servers on the Naval Academy Alumni Association Board of Trustees, defended the Navy’s use of drag queen recruiting ads as a "critical" method of welcoming "traditionally excluded segments of our population."
The least honorable president in American history had a softball interview with MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle on Friday, in which he uttered one of the most outlandish lies of his entire life, which has been filled with his outlandish lies: “I think I’ve proven myself to be honorable, as well as effective.” As Matt Margolis noted Sunday, this was in the course of a paean of boasting from Old Joe Biden that included praise of his own wisdom and experience. But now Joe Biden would have us believe that he is honorable, too? Come on, man! This guy lies every time his lips move.
The part about Old Joe being effective, however,
Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s student government president has been removed from his position and faces a recall election due to his role in perpetrating two campus hate-crime hoaxes hanging posters and chalking slurs against LGBTQ people, Latinos and other “marginalized communities.”
Undergraduate Association President David Spicer helped hang the offensive posters and chalk the quad once in February and then again in mid-April during Campus Preview Weekend, infuriating his peers — even progressive ones who once championed him as a leader in campus diversity and inclusion.
In the span of a few weeks, the Biden administration has proposed regulations that would effectively ban gas stoves, force a massive shift to electric cars, sharply raise the cost of dishwashers, increase loan costs for frugal borrowers, regulate puddles as “navigable waters,” and limit hunting and fishing across the country. It will soon release a proposed rule targeting power plants with hugely expensive carbon capture mandates.
This is just the tip of the spear.
As the Competitive Enterprise Institute’s Clyde Wayne Crews put it recently, “President Biden is leading an unprecedented expansion of the administrative state.
America's Commander-in-Chief just laid another egg.
President Joe Biden wants all Pentagon vehicles to be electric by 2030 – in just six years and seven months. America’s fearless leader previewed this policy on Earth Day 2022.
“We’re going to start the process where every vehicle in the United States military, every vehicle, is going to be climate-friendly — every vehicle,” Biden said in Seattle that April 22. “I mean it.” (snip) Those who have worn America’s uniform find this jaw-droppingly stupid.
“Anyone who has even a little experience in military logistics recognizes Joe Biden’s E.V. mandate as a political farce,” House Armed Services Committee member Jim Banks (R-Indiana) told me.

NYC Holds Shocking ‘God Is Trans’ Exhibit

The Manhattan Church of St. Paul the Apostle currently hosts a shocking exhibit called “God is Trans: A Queer Spiritual Journey.” The wildly offensive series of paintings have been placed next to the church’s altar. The artist described the exhibit as “a queer spiritual journey in three steps: Sacrifice, Identity and Communion.” The Post reports that “according to the exhibit, Sacrifice represents the need to ‘shed an old life.’ Identity is described as ‘the most impactful part’ of the display, asking the question, ‘What does holiness look like?’ Communion places ‘God and the mortal on the same plane.'”
