‘Catholic sister,’



Politico senior political columnist Jonathan Martin kicks off his column by noting that President Joe Biden and Speaker Nancy Pelosi “have become the faces of their party.” So you’ve got a 79-year-old white man and an 82-year-old white woman as the faces of your party. Do the Democrats have any bench at all? Gavin Newsom? Kamala Harris? Pete Buttigieg?

How's her husband doing .? His story seems to have dropped out of sight after it was used for the election.

Biden Threatens to Veto Senate Vote Ending COVID Emergency



Three years after President Donald Trump declared a COVID-19 emergency, Presidentish Joe Biden threats to veto a Senate effort to finally end it.


Biden himself told 60 Minutes in September that “The pandemic is over.”

“We still have a problem with COVID,” Biden said just two months ago. “We’re still doing a lot of work on it. But the pandemic is over.”

But the national public health emergency must go on — and on — because reasons.
The Senate, still under Democratic control, is apparently having none of it. On Tuesday, the Wall Street Journal reports they voted by an overwhelming 62-36 to officially end the COVID emergency.

Biden Attempts to Revive Student Loan Forgiveness Plan By Asking Supreme Court to Restore It


In the court documents, President Joe Biden is warning the Supreme Court that if it doesn't reverse the cancellation of the plan, millions of Americans will face a financial burden when the payments are scheduled to start again in January.

The White House is doing all it can to revive the program that would give $10,000 in federal student debt forgiveness to those with incomes less than $125,000 or households earning less than $250,000.

Biden Signs Declaration To ‘Build On The Success’ Of Vax Passports



The U.S. government’s response to the COVID-19 virus, which swept across the globe over the course of two years, sparked fears the government would introduce vaccination requirements at state and international border crossings.

The Biden administration shot down rumors the White House would order federal vaccine passports in May 2021.

“The government is not now nor will we be supporting a system that requires Americans to carry a credential,” former Press Secretary Jen Psaki said. “There will be no federal vaccinations database and no federal mandate requiring everyone to obtain a single vaccination credential.”

While private and nonprofit organizations could consider requiring patrons to present proof of vaccination to receive services, the federal government should steer away from requiring vaccination for airline travel and other cross-border activities, Psaki said.

State Department tells staff abroad to promote anti-populist 'disinformation' game in schools



In an Oct. 31 memo reviewed by Just the News, Secretary of State Antony Blinken encourages diplomatic and consular posts worldwide to promote "Cat Park," funded by State's Global Engagement Center (GEC) and U.S. Embassy The Hague and released to coincide with UNESCO's Global Media and Information Literacy Week.

At least two embassies have already followed through. "Ever wondered if that forwarded message in your WhatsApp group is completely true?" the Uganda embassy tweeted.








The game "inoculates players ... by showing how sensational headlines, memes, and manipulated media can be used to advance conspiracies theories and incite real-world violence," according to the memo, which was obtained by former Trump White House aide Stephen Miller's America First Legal.

FFO gave Just the News the memo and its analysis of the "behavior modification" game, which concludes that Cat Park "gets young people to subliminally perceive that social media posts opposing government corruption are primarily done by disinformation purveyors." It deems GEC "the global-facing political censorship arm of the Internet."

The game is "simply anti-populist," FFO Executive Director and former State official Mike Benz said. "This appears to be the State Department picking winners and losers in the marketplace of political beliefs, not protecting Americans from foreign disinformation."

And if they don't he'll just delay it another 3-6 months. Something is going to happen to cause all this delay crap to come crashing down.

Joe Biden Doesn't Have a Clue What's Ahead in This Economy



Former Vice President Mike Pence blasted Biden for his failure to fix the economy.

“I often tell people I’ve known Joe Biden for a very long time, and he’s been that wrong for a very long time,” Pence told Fox News Digital in an interview. “What we are witnessing in the Biden administration — whether it be the runaway spending, whether it be flatlining defense spending, whether it be a disastrous and appeasing foreign policy, reentering negotiations with Iran, whether it be tax increases, driving a recession and inflation in this economy — one policy after another just seems almost intent on weakening America at home and abroad,” Pence added before pointing out that “it’s one of the reasons why we won back the House of Representatives.”

But Biden looks at the midterms differently. He thinks they vindicated his policies and will double down on them. So buckle up, everyone, things are going to get worse before they get better.

Joe Biden Can’t Let Go of a Pandemic He Wants Us to Pretend Didn’t Happen




The truth is that he didn’t create any jobs last year. His economic “success” is a mirage that relies on the public conveniently forgetting that the pandemic ever happened or had any impact on the economy or that Joe Biden took office just as the vaccines became available and the economy started opening up again. His policies had nothing to do with that.

So naturally, the question we have to ask is why Joe Biden won’t let go of the pandemic when forgetting the pandemic is so crucial to the illusion of his success.

As the New York Post notes, it’s about money.

“Extending the emergency is aimed at keeping as many people as possible dependent on Medicaid — the federal-state health program that covers more than 1 in 4 Americans — even though large and growing numbers of beneficiaries are ineligible,” the Post explains. “Enrollment has risen to unprecedented levels, due in large part to the March 2020 Families First Coronavirus Response Act’s continuous-coverage requirement, which prohibits state Medicaid agencies from disenrolling ineligible beneficiaries while the public health emergency lasts.”

In other words, Biden wants to expand the welfare state, and the pandemic emergency allows him to do that.

Biden OVERTURNS Trump rule and tells 401k investors to prioritize green investments over profit - despite plans already losing $34,000 on average this year

  • Employers will now be able to invest pension money in green industries
  • ESG investing considers the environmental and social impacts of investments
  • The change undoes a rule imposed under Trump requiring prioritization of profit
  • The new rule, brought about by Biden, will come into effect in 60 days


The new rule introduced by US Department of Labor will allow retirement plan investors to focus on ESG investing - which considers the environmental and social impacts of investments.

The change comes as the average 401(k) in the US is down around 25 percent this year, around $34,000, according to data from Fidelity.

Republicans have been opposed to the growing popularity of ESG investing - many argue the concept goes against the main purpose of investing, which is to maximize returns.

Advocates of the change suggest that companies can be more profitable than their competitors when they treat their workers fairly and think about environmental impact.

Joe Biden’s Thanksgiving Message to Americans: “I’m Going to Try and Get Rid of Assault Weapons” (VIDEO)












It can be recalled that Joe Biden called for a ban on “assault weapons” following the deadly mass shooting at a gay nightclub in Colorado Springs.

Joe Biden immediately called for gun control and absurdly claimed the LGBTQ community has been “subjected to horrific hate violence in recent years.”

Biden used the Orlando gay night club massacre as an example of attacks on the gay community without mentioning the shooter, Omar Mateen, was an Islamic terrorist.

“We saw it six years ago in Orlando, when our nation suffered the deadliest attack affecting LGBTQ community in American history,” he said.

  • 'Hello, Happy Thanksgiving Mr. President, are you there?,' she said
  • The president could even be heard talking to the first lady, before finally answering Dreyer

And then that chatting Uncle tells you that you will not be getting his 60's classic Mustang he has in storage. Instead he'll give it to your conservative brother. :razz:
Not far from the truth! My dad had just passed, and we were at a family gathering after the wake. Dad had left a fair amount in inheritance and I used some of that for a down-payment on a car. My extremely liberal niece was there, and she's one of the beneficiaries of MY estate. She shouts across the table, "Hey! don't be spending my inheritance!"

I looked at her and said, "I'm not spending YOUR inheritance, I'm spending MINE!"

As brilliant as she is, she just looked at me, blanked face, thought about it, and it took her a long time to catch on.
