‘Treated Like a Toddler’: Biden Fumed
to Friends about Aides Backtracking after
Putin ‘Cannot Remain in Power’ Comment
Posted By: Dreadnought, 8/30/2023 12:43:44 PM
After going off-script to declare that Vladimir Putin “cannot remain in power” during a March speech in Warsaw, Joe Biden fumed that his aides had infantilized him by walking back his comments, according to an excerpt of a new book released Wednesday. “Biden instantly knew that the White House would have to clarify his mistake. By the time Biden piled into the motorcade. His aides had released a statement walking back his sentence,” Franklin Foer writes in his forthcoming biography of Biden’s first term in the White House, The Last Politician, excerpted in Axios. “Biden left for home, ending his triumphalist tour, feeling sorry for himself,”

The House on Thursday passed the National Defense Authorization Act, an annual defense bill that will this year include an extension of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act’s Section 702, the controversial law that permits warrantless surveillance of foreign nationals.
The House voted 310-118 in favor of the bill just before congressmen left for Christmas recess. The annual national-defense bill was passed by the Senate Wednesday, and is now headed to President Joe Biden’s desk to be signed into law. The final version of the NDAA authorizes $886 billion in national-defense spending, an increase of $28 billion over fiscal year 2023.
Looks like the Banned on the Run finally got the message. With the IDF closing in on Hamas’ Gaza leadership in a Khan Younis bunker and their international sheiks now on the run from the Mossad, it has begun to dawn on them that October 7 really did change everything. The Israelis clearly intend to either drown or shoot Hamas dead to the last man, and this time the US will not be able to restrain them. Even their hostaging strategy hasn’t worked.
And just like that, from the river to the sea has changed to Let’s Join the PLO. Al-Monitor reported last night that a “top” Hamas official has floated
Some Democrats wish the worst for former President Donald Trump, even though his presidency successfully created prosperity for the nation’s citizens.
Before the Chinese coronavirus came to the U.S., the Trump administration built the world’s most prosperous economy, according to White House archives:
America gained 7 million new jobs – more than three times government experts’ projections.
Incomes rose in every single metro area in the United States for the first time in nearly three decades.
Unemployment for women hit its lowest rate in nearly 70 years.
The DOW closed above 20,000 for the first time in 2017 and topped 30,000 in 2020.
Jobless claims hit a nearly 50-year low.
With less than a year to go before Election Day, former president Donald Trump is leading President Joe Biden in head-to-head matchups in all seven major swing states.
A newly released Morning Consult poll shows Trump maintaining a strong lead over Biden in Arizona, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Georgia, and North Carolina. Trump’s lead over Biden in Georgia (6 points) and North Carolina (9 points) is outside the margin of error, while his lead in the other five states is within the margin of error and ranges anywhere from 2 to 4 points.
The former president bested Biden by 5 points in all swing states combined, well outside the margin of error.
Elon Musk is planning to launch a university in Austin, Texas after seeding $100 million to his latest charity, named The Foundation.
The billionaire's institution will be started with a STEM-focused primary and secondary school, which will expand into a university 'dedicated to education at the highest levels', according to tax filings seen by Bloomberg. The school will employ a traditional curriculum 'alongside hands-on learning experience including simulations, case studies, fabrications/ design projects and labs', according to the October 2022 application that was reportedly approved in March. Musk's venture into education comes as he has become a frequent critic of America's schooling,
David Axelrod has not been holding back on his concerns about Joe Biden’s poll numbers. Last month he pointed to some polling and argued that Biden might want to think about getting out of the race. Even more recently, Axelrod said Biden only had a 50-50 shot at winning, which is not the sort of thing Democrats want to hear about the guy who is their nominee.
Yesterday Axelrod was at it again. This time he was talking about a recent Wall Street Journal poll on his podcast “Hacks on Tap” which he co-hosts with Robert Gibbs and Mike Murphy.
“The Wall Street Journal was, you know, very, very dark
Is the right about to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory regarding Bud Light? That's the story after several prominent right-wing figures publicly came out in support of the embattled beer brand recently.
For those unacquainted with the controversy, Bud Light got itself into hot water by joining forces with transgender activist (and all-around mentally deranged person) Dylan Mulvaney. That resulted in a commemorative can being sent to Mulvaney, who then used it to do product placement in a couple of videos posted on social media.
The backlash was swift, and for the first time in history, conservatives were to put some teeth behind the phrase "go woke, go broke."
Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, who has become a billionaire while living in comfortable exile, thanked the United Nations (UN) on Wednesday for a General Assembly vote that demanded a ceasefire in Gaza, without condemning the terrorist organization.
As Breitbart News’ Frances Martel reported, the General Assembly, whose resolutions are non-binding, passed a ceasefire resolution several days after the United States vetoed a similar resolution at the United Nations Security Council.
The vote came the same day as President Joe Biden bashed Israel behind closed doors, and the same day that Hamas terrorists managed to kill ten Israeli soldiers, including a colonel and a leader of the elite Golani
A recently released Hamas hostage's revelation of sexual violence against her fellow captives appears to refute anti-Israel progressives who tend to downplay or dismiss terrorists' atrocities.
Chen Goldstein-Almog, 48, was held hostage by Hamas with three of her children for 51 days following the Palestinian terrorist group's Oct. 7 attack on Israelis.
Her husband and eldest daughter were murdered by Palestinian terrorists during the attack. Goldstein-Almog and her children were released by the terror group, and the wife and mother gave an interview with the Israeli press on Dec. 11 about her time as a hostage.
The New York Court of Appeals, the highest court in the state, ruled that the bipartisan Independent Redistricting Commission (IRC) tasked with redrawing congressional district lines be given another chance. The significance of this decision is that the bipartisan commission couldn't agree on district lines in 2020, giving the task to the state legislature where Democrats have a super majority.
The map Democrats drew would have given the party 22 of 26 districts in the state and virtually destroyed the Republican party.
Thankfully, a state judge ruled that the grossly gerrymandered map needed to be fairer, and a special master then redrew the lines.
Here’s one case where no one can deny that corporate DEI was a scam. A former head of DEI programs for Facebook has pleaded guilty to swindling the company out of $4 million, not including whatever money they were spending on her actual salary.
Barbara Furlow-Smiles, who served as lead strategist and global head of employee resource groups and diversity engagement at Facebook, used the stolen funds to live an extravagant lifestyle that spanned from California to Georgia, prosecutors said.
From approximately January 2017 to September 2021, Furlow-Smiles led Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs at Facebook and was responsible for developing and executing DEI initiatives,

House Republicans said Wednesday they will initiate contempt of Congress proceedings against Hunter Biden after he refused to appear for a scheduled closed-door deposition.
“Hunter Biden today defied lawful subpoenas and we will now initiate contempt of Congress proceedings,” said House Oversight Committee chairman James Comer and House Judiciary Committee chairman Jim Jordan. “We will not provide special treatment because his last name is Biden.”
“As our committees were today prepared to depose Hunter Biden, he chose to make a public statement on Capitol Hill instead where he said his father, Joe Biden was not financially involved in his family’s business dealings. Exactly how was Joe Biden involved? Evidence shows Joe Biden

First lady Jill Biden was blasted Wednesday night after posting a video to X showing dancers tapping around the holiday-decorated White House, whose theme this year is "Magic, Wonder and Joy." (Snip) "A bit of magic, wonder, and joy brought to you by the talented tappers of Dorrance Dance, performing their playful interpretation of The Nutcracker Suite. Enjoy!" the first lady's post read.
WASHINGTON - U.S. President Joe Biden said on Tuesday that Israel is losing support over its "indiscriminate" bombing of Gaza and that Benjamin Netanyahu should change, exposing a new rift in relations with the Israeli prime minister.
Biden's remarks, made to donors to his 2024 re-election campaign, were his most critical to date of Netanyahu's handling of Israel's war in Gaza. They are a stark contrast to his literal and political embrace of the Israeli leader days after Hamas militants' Oct. 7 attack on southern Israel.
"Israel's security can rest on the United States, but right now it has more than the United States. It has the European Union, it has Europe,
Boston Mayor Michelle Wu was all smiles as she was joined by other city and state leaders at a 'no whites' holiday reception Wednesday evening.
'I'm proud to host many many of these across all different types of collations,' Wu said outside of the controversial event.
The segregated holiday party for 'electeds of color' has been held for years in Boston, but garnered scrutiny this year after an email invitation was sent to all 13 members of the city council, only for them to be rescinded from the seven white councilors 15 minutes later.

According to a new report, Joe Biden is blaming himself for the legal woes of his son, thinking if he hadn't run that this wouldn't be happening and he's prone to flipping out if anyone brings up the topic. “In private, no issue is more likely to anger or sadden President Biden than attacks on his son,” according to Axios, which describes people close to the 81-year-old president noticing that his “moods shift” when there is unpleasant news about Hunter.
Few in the president’s inner circle “feel free to discuss Hunter’s situation with the president” over fears that it could “prompt
The Democratic mayor of Boston has sparked outrage after inviting city councilors to a holiday party intended only for 'electeds of color.'
Michelle Wu's invitation for the December 13 'Electeds of Color Holiday Party' appeared to have been sent out to all councilors in error by her aide, Denise DosSantos.
DosSantos followed up the email 15 minutes later apologizing for the invite, clarifying that it was only meant for the city's six councilors of color. The seven white council members were not welcome.
We're just a little over a month out from the GOP presidential primary swinging into high gear. The Iowa Caucuses will kick things off on January 15. While Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has set his sights on the Hawkeye State — and secured the endorsement of Governor Kim Reynolds — former South Carolina Governor and United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley has been focusing her efforts on New Hampshire, where the primary will take place on January 23. Nikki Haley is putting her chips on the center of the board in New Hampshire, a New England state where she has surged into a clear second place behind former President Trump.
Before we get to this direct rejection of the Biden/Blinken ‘credit’ argument, let’s go over the background that led to it. Under pressure from progressive anti-Semites in his party, Joe Biden growled yesterday about Israel’s supposedly “indiscriminate” bombing campaign in Gaza. His comments at a campaign event yesterday sent shock waves through the US media: “Israel’s security can rest on the United States,” Biden stated during a campaign event Tuesday, as he touted his government’s strong support of Israel. …
“But they’re starting to lose that support by the indiscriminate bombing that takes place” in Gaza, Biden said, in a statement that implied Israel was needlessly targeting civilians.
Senate Democrats are pressuring the supreme court justice Clarence Thomas to recuse himself from deciding whether Donald Trump has immunity from prosecution for alleged crimes he committed while president.
For the first time in the nearly 30-year history of the United Nations summit on climate change, all nations gathered unanimously agreed to a resolution that called for “transitioning away from fossil fuels” and committed member states to tripling existing green-energy infrastructure by 2030.
The nearly 200 member countries gathered at the COP28 Climate Summit in Dubai agreed to transition away from fossil fuels “in a just, orderly and equitable manner” before entirely eliminating carbon emissions by 2050. While previous U.N. climate agreements committed member states to work toward slowing global warming, the deal announced Wednesday was the first to include an explicit commitment to do away with “fossil fuels.”
Representative Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “Alex Wagner Tonight” that she believes Democrats are fighting for freedoms that Republicans are taking away with book bans.
The former speaker claimed books in school that have been classics “are now burned.”
Wagner said, “Some of the priorities for these Republican lawmakers in a vacuum. The most egregious things really stand out. Among them their war on reproductive freedom and the most recent comments from their informal head, their front runner, Donald Trump, who wants to replace Obamacare.”
Pelosi said, “Yes, imagine that. When he was president he said repeal and replace. He had no replacement, he just wanted to repeal
