Jean-Pierre answered questions from reporters on her first briefing in several weeks, and the first since Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed U.S. Attorney David Weiss of Delaware, who was already investigating Hunter Biden, as the special counsel.
White House reporter sues Karine Jean-Pierre after losing press pass
A member of the White House press corps has filed a lawsuit against White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre and the Secret Service, alleging they wrongfully revoked his press badge.
In his suit filed Thursday, African journalist Simon Ateba argues that the White House policy for revoking press access violates the First and Fifth Amendments of the Constitution. President Biden's White House announced new rules in May that – for the first time – allowed for rescinding a press badge.
"Defendants violated Mr. Ateba’s First Amendment rights by changing the criteria for hard pass credentials to intentionally prevent Mr. Ateba from obtaining hard pass access," the lawsuit reads.
He's one of them Black White Supremacists, no doubt.Oh, he doesn't KJP any slack. Never did. He is a bigger pain in her ass than Peter Doocy.
Jean-Pierre: People Will ‘Start to See’ Bidenomics Helping More than It Already Is, Polls Don’t ‘Tell the Whole Entire Story’
Co-host Phil Mattingly asked, “The thing that I think — and this has been an issue for you guys for the last two-plus years, connecting [legislation passed under Biden] to how the public feels or what the public knows, if you look at poll after poll after poll, continues to be an issue. And yet, there seems to be a sense inside the White House, it’s going to turn. People are starting to figure it out. How do you know that? Why?”
Jean-Pierre answered, “So, look, if you think about the Inflation Reduction Act, yes, it’s the one-year anniversary, and it’s a key part of Bidenomics, that’s also important to note. And look, we’re talking about investing in America. We’re talking about a fairer tax code. We’re talking about the biggest, largest climate action investment ever, as we were just talking about what’s going on in Maui and the extreme weather. These are all incredibly important things here. Here’s an example, as I’ll provide to you: The President was in Wisconsin…yesterday. He went directly to the American people in Milwaukee. He talked about how the Inflation Reduction Act and also the bipartisan infrastructure legislation and also the CHIPS and Science Act, all of these important, historic pieces of legislation are creating a manufacturing boom. … And you look at Wisconsin, just specifically, looking at Wisconsin…companies are investing $3 billion in Wisconsin. 150,000 — more than 150,000 jobs [we’ve created] in the last two years because of the President’s Bidenomics, because of his economic plan. All of these things are important. 2.5% unemployment in Wisconsin, and you think about the national unemployment level, which is under 4%. So, this is what the President’s going to continue to do, talking about how his plan is investing in America, how we’re lowering costs for the American people, and that’s what they want to see. … And also, I think what you were asking me about the polling, you were asking me why we think this is going to actually translate –.”
Mattingly then cut in to say, “To that point…you’re talking about Wisconsin, he’s underwater in Wisconsin.”
Jean-Pierre responded, “I understand that, but you have to remember, Phil, these are long-term investments. These are long-term investments, which Americans are going to start to see. And, as you know Phil, you know this probably better than I, you’ve covered a couple of administrations at this point, polling [doesn’t] tell the whole entire story. That’s why we are going to continue to tell that story.”
This manufacturing boom she speaks of is actually money being tossed at a problem that doesn't exist, and at a pipedream of energy being produced by the sun and wind that one day will become known as the greatest boondoggle ever foisted on America.

CNN’s Sara Sidner confronted White House press sec. Karine Jean-Pierre on Thursday after she encouraged victims of the devastating Maui wildfires to use FEMA’s website and telephone line to get assistance despite limited access.
[…]
“This is something that the president takes very seriously. You’ve heard from the FEMA administrator there’s more than 600 personnel, and staffers on the ground. They’ve already provided $2.3 million of family assistance. And for those in Maui, in Hawaii, who are still looking to get that federal assistance, please go, call 800-621-FEMA. Go to disasterassistance.gov. We are here to help, the federal government is here to assist, to make sure they get everything that they need to rebuild and recover.”
“Karine I do want to ask you about that because FEMA was on the ground, they have been criticized in past disasters for not getting there quickly enough. But in this case, they were on the ground quickly. I do want to ask you, though, you talk about people having to call that number, they have to register, as we understand it. Call the number, go to the website. But here is the big problem we’re hearing on the ground, there is no power, they are having very spotty cell service, it’s very difficult to communicate, and they are restricted in their movement,” Sidner reported.
What percentage of the island actually burned? I heard it was just portions of the west side of the island.And that Maui is virtually a burned-out cinder.
Very small percentage..tiny even. But Lahaina was the largest city and totally destroyed.What percentage of the island actually burned? I heard it was just portions of the west side of the island.
The .gov site says 2,170 acres burned - Maui area is about 743,040 total landmass acres.What percentage of the island actually burned? I heard it was just portions of the west side of the island.

Got it. So it's not virtually a burned-out cinder. Good thing the author didn't say "literally."The .gov site says 2,170 acres burned - Maui area is about 743,040 total landmass acres.
