Biden then started talking about cars in general, before Hur interrupted with, “Sir, I’d love — I would love to hear much more about this, but I do have a few more questions to get through.”
Biden ignored him, and continued talking about cars, to which Hur finally said, “All right. So let’s — let’s launch into the next subject which relates to the Penn Biden Center.”

after pizza?’ 18 replies
New York City has quietly approved a controversial green plan to require pizzerias and matzah bakeries using decades-old wood- and coal-fired stoves to cut their smoky pollutants by 75%.
Mayor Eric Adams’ Department of Environmental Protection said the fresh edict takes effect April 27, with some city businesses having already coughed up more than $600,000 for new smoke-eating systems in anticipation of the expected mandate. (snip) But Adams has defended the mandate for the Big Apple, which was recently named the most expensive city to get a slice of pizza in the country.
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban called former President Donald Trump a "president of peace" and said that if Trump were president, "there would be no war" in Israel or in Ukraine.
Orban released a video on X, formerly Twitter, praising Trump on Sunday after he visited the former president's Mar-a-Lago Estate in Florida last week.
As president, Trump "commanded respect in the world, and thus created the conditions for peace," Orban said in the video, according to English subcaptions. "During his presidency, there was peace in the Middle East and peace in Ukraine. And there would be no war today if he were still president of the United States."
Producer Rob Reiner’s anti-Christian smear, God & Country: The Rise of Christian Nationalism, limped out of theaters after grossing a hilarious $60,464 worldwide.
Basically, that’s fewer than 7,000 tickets sold in a country of 350 million. (snip) That’s fewer than 7,000 tickets sold, even after producer Rob Reiner got all kinds of free media from countless corporate media outlets. (snip) If you divide those 3.5 tickets per day into six showings a day, that works out to 3/5th of a ticket sold per showing. (snip) Rob Reiner really should be the poster boy for white privilege.
Just days after RuPaul launched an all-inclusive online bookstore named Allstora, the store removed books from right-wing authors Thursday, according to National Review. Within days of its opening, Allstora faced backlash for offering books deemed homophobic, transphobic, anti-woke, and even Nazi in nature, according to National Review. This prompted a policy reversal, leading to the removal of certain conservative authors and content labeled offensive, including works by Donald Trump, Elon Musk and others. RuPaul created an online bookstore to fight against "book bans." On his website he claims "the censorship of ANY book is incompatible with the survival of Democracy", and promised to carry ALL books.

Victoria Nuland has played a pivotal role in both constructing and executing American foreign policy over the last few decades, wreaking havoc every step of the way.
On Tuesday, the State Department announced that she will be retiring from her role “in the coming weeks.” (snip) Far from her advertised qualities, Nuland has used her position of power to pursue ideological pursuits that served as a force for death and destruction.
Let’s take a look at Nuland’s resume and explore the activities of this supposed “freedom and democracy” champion.
The fate of Fani Willis has been called into question once again after a Georgia prosecutor offered to testify against her, claiming another witnesses' testimony about her relationship with Nathan Wade was wrong.

Joe Biden won the normality test in 2020.
There wasn’t anything remarkable about him.
He just seemed like a steady hand who had been around for a while, who didn’t look or sound like a radical and who knew how Washington worked. He wasn’t the leader of a movement, wasn’t charismatic and wasn’t particularly witty or well-spoken. He was, in fact, completely uninteresting and utterly conventional. He was just the most normal guy in the room. He benefited from a favorable contrast with the magnetic, endlessly interesting, constantly outrageous, norm-busting President Donald Trump
Meghan Markle has launched a luxury lifestyle brand American Riviera Orchard with a glitzy Instagram video. [Snip] Her new project is said to have been in the works for more than a year--and feature 'all the things that are close to her heart'. [Snip] The announcement comes on the same night as Prince Harry and Prince William are set to make a rare joint appearance at the Diana Legacy Award event at the Science Museum in London--but neither will be in the room at the same time, even virtually.
Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.) denounced Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as an “obstacle to peace” in a Thursday floor speech and called on Israelis to hold a new election to replace the Netanyahu government amid the ongoing war with Hamas.
“Netanyahu has lost his way by allowing his political survival to take precedence over the best interests of Israel,” Schumer said in a 40-minute speech on the Senate floor, suggesting Israel should elect a new leader who can deal with the threat of Hamas.
Schumer’s call for an Israeli election comes as President Joe Biden and other Democrats are becoming increasingly frustrated with Netanyahu over the rising civilian
It's been a particularly rough week for former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) and her obsession about January 6. Her narrative is collapsing, especially as she tried to bury evidence regarding former and potentially future President Donald Trump's security plans for that day. Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-GA), who chairs the Committee on House Administration's Subcommittee on Oversight, also shared a report his committee did about "the politicization of the January 6th Select Committee."

A Connecticut school choir is singing a political song about weather, and it doesn't concern climate change. Rather, the subject is social justice's most iconic figure. According to Campus Reform, New Fairfield High has been rehearsing for an important New York performance. To be belted: "Weather: Stand the Storm." The tempestuous title regards the torrential downpour of chaos that occurred in 2020, ignited by the late George Floyd's pivotal plight on May 25th in Minneapolis. The song -- which is part of a larger work -- began as a poem penned by Claudia Rankine, co-founder of the Racial Imaginary Institute.
Senator Bernie Sanders believes it is long past time the United States moves away from a 40-hour workweek and establishes a 32-hour standard workweek without reducing workers' pay.
The Vermont senator introduced legislation that would do just that. But his proposal is already being met with stiff opposition across the aisle.
The Thirty-Two Hour Workweek Act would reduce the standard workweek in the United States from 40 at 32-hours over four years while maintaining worker pay. It would also require overtime pay and a half for workdays longer than 8 hours and overtime doubling pay for workdays longer than 12 hours.

Honor, and Country' From Its Mission Statement 20 replies
I have been pretty hard on clueless Army Secretary Christine Wormuth during the year and a half I've been scribbling here. When you see her as the ballerina atop the melting, gooey, sticky sundae that is the current state of the United States Army itself, you realize the decline is thanks to the intrepid leadership of decades of Milleys and Austins in the upper echelons. Wormuth didn't build the failing base her wokeness happily pirouettes on. She's just making sure there's enough syrup running down the sides to thoroughly cover the formerly solid underpinnings an increasingly corporate Army brain trust had already started melting.
Do Only Suckers Buy EVs?
19 replies
The latest evidence that electric vehicles are nothing more than environmental snake oil can be found in a recent Wall Street Journal article pointing out that these “clean” cars are actually more polluting than their gasoline-powered brethren.
By polluting, we mean actual pollution, not carbon dioxide emissions – which is not pollution but plant food.
The Journal was highlighting a study from 2022 that, naturally, was ignored by the mainstream press at the time. What the study found was that “brakes and tires on EVs release 1,850 times more particle pollution compared to modern tailpipes.”
Why? Because EVs are as much as 30% heavier than gas-powered cars, which means
Shocking footage captured on a cell phone shows the moment a vicious fifth-grade female student beat up a little boy on a school bus while the woke school the children attend kept the footage from the victim’s father.
As Real News Michiana (RNM) reported, the incident occurred in Niles, Michigan, on March 4 and involved Ballard Elementary School students.[snip] The father also told RNM the school district has not allowed him to view video taken by cameras mounted within the school bus and that the girl who beat his son has had several discipline issues in the past, including being banned from riding the bus
One of the most ridiculous and offensive things about "transwomen" and drag queens is that many of them exist as parodies of women, save for those few who are failed male athletes who are in it to steal the glory of victory from actual women. Dylan Mulvaney is the apotheosis of this, and his new music video captures the distorted view of womanhood that is being pushed out by the Queer community. (X) This sort of parodic behavior--the embrace of the worst stereotypes of womanhood--is a natural consequence of men who are attracted to the idea of becoming women in the first place.
