Jeremy.eth on Twitter - "Trump tweeted endlessly about law and order while Biden directs his FBI to go after his political opponents. The Biden regime is not afraid to wield power"

HAHAHA

Biden Voters Posting Their L's - Posts | Facebook - "Some days I have to search high and low, today is not one of those days."

Biden's credibility is in tatters - "After just eight months in office, Biden already looks like a lame duck, his administration beset by a massive southern border crisis of its own making, out-of-control government spending with a national debt approaching a staggering $30 trillion, a worsening Covid pandemic, and a foreign policy disaster of epic proportions in south Asia. The only thing Biden has going for him is his vice president, Kamala Harris, comes across as even more incompetent and unpopular than he is. In nearly 20 years in Washington, I have watched countless UN addresses broadcast live on American television screens, from four different presidents. Biden’s was quite possibly the worst in terms of sheer hypocrisy and a complete lack of substance. I suspect America’s enemies were delighted by Biden’s remarks, and US allies were mightily unimpressed.   This was a cowardly speech designed not to offend the adversaries of the free world. Biden made no direct mention of China or Russia, the United States’ two biggest opponents, and no specific reference to Islamist terrorism. He made no attempt to hold Beijing’s Communist rulers to account over the Uighur genocide or its lack of transparency and cooperation over the origins of Covid-19.  At the United Nations, the president of the most powerful nation on earth was reduced to selling a slick PR slogan, “the Build Back Better World,” the sort of marketing concept that might once have sounded chic in a Coca-Cola commercial from the 1970s...   Senior officials I have spoken to in both the UK and continental Europe fear the damage the Biden presidency is inflicting on the transatlantic alliance will be long-lasting and possibly irreparable unless the next US administration takes a dramatically different approach. They believe that the next three and a half years of the Biden era could be the most dangerous moment for the West since World War Two, with the enemies of the free world, from Beijing to Moscow, Pyongyang and Tehran, in addition to an array of Islamist terror movements, ready to test the resolve of a weakened United States.  For all the global liberal condemnation of Donald Trump, his administration never abandoned America’s leadership role, and firmly rejected the siren call of isolationism. As the Commander in Chief, his view was very clear: The US will stand with its allies, including the United Kingdom, and America’s enemies should fear its power. This is the exact opposite of the Biden doctrine, which is leaving the US weaker and more vulnerable internationally."

Joe Biden on Twitter - "President Trump threatening the mass deportation of immigrants is cruel and un-American. We can fix our broken immigration system and enforce our laws without tossing aside our values."
The New York Times on Twitter - "The first group of Haitian migrants expected to be deported from Texas has landed in Port-au-Prince. Haitian officials have beseeched the Biden administration to stop returning thousands of people to a country reeling from several crises."

Biden Charges Facebook With Homicide, While His Surgeon General Recommends 'Legal and Regulatory Measures' To Suppress COVID-19 'Misinformation' - "Speech is protected by the First Amendment even when it discourages vaccination."

Scott Jennings on Twitter - "White House spox: Biden is “perfectly comfortable” with the American taxpayer funding cash payments for illegal immigrants."
"We’ve gone from “that’s garbage” to “perfectly comfortable” in 24 hours"

Joe Biden blasted by Alberta for demanding more OPEC oil after cancelling Keystone XL - "Jake Sullivan, Biden’s national security adviser, criticized global oil producers Wednesday, saying, “At a critical moment in the global recovery, this is simply not enough.” Sullivan also said in the statement: “Higher gasoline costs, if left unchecked, risk harming the ongoing global recovery.”... “ Our producers can easily produce that oil if your Administration will just stay out of the way,” tweeted George Abbott, the Republican governor of Texas. “Allow American workers—not OPEC —(to) produce the oil that can reduce the price of gasoline. Don’t make us dependent on foreign sources of energy.”... Biden doesn’t want to jeopardize his climate change-fighting policy target of the U.S. achieving net zero carbon production by 2050"
Apparently it doesn't lose you virtue signalling points to ask for oil from far away. Out of sight, out of mind

Meme - CNN Politics: "President Biden shows he's ready to make drastic moves in the Covid-19 fight - even if he's not sure they're legal I Analysis"
""Even if he's not sure they're legal"???? What the hell!? Yet somehow the government wonders why we don't trust them."

The Media Would Like Everyone to Know Biden Eulogized a KKK Exalted Cyclops, Not Grand Wizard - "Media fact checking is a corrupt suppressive industry.  As discussed yesterday, one of the patented media fact checking gimmicks is to make true stories seem false by finding a somewhat inaccurate version of them and fact checking that version...   The fact checks all come down to the same thing. Senator Robert Byrd was a Klan recruiter who was so good at it that a Klavern was set up and he received the honorary title of Exalted Cyclops, which is the highest level within a chapter, he was not a Grand Wizard.   Okay.  Plenty of conservative publications correctly stated Byrd's title. And the distinction has a difference, but it's also deliberate nitpicking to distract from the substantive issue, which is that Byrd was a Klan leader and it was that organization which helped propel him into a life in politics.  Or to put it another way, if President Trump had eulogized a Klan leader, the takeaway would not be fact checks as to his exact title.   This is a particular type of media fact check which uses nitpicking to divert attention from the substantive issue while making it appear that the accurate statements about Biden and Byrd are false. And since Big Tech elevates this media spin under the guise of fact checks, that means anyone searching for the real story will get a barrage of media disinformation instead.  That's what this is, disinformation."

Biden used cheat sheet during his first press conference - "New photos reveal several cheat sheets used by President Biden during his Thursday press conference — including one with the headshots and names of reporters he planned to call on.  The president also used notes to assist with facts about US infrastructure, a policy area Biden is focusing on during his first months in the White House.  “The United States now ranks 13th globally in infrastructure quality — down from 5th place in 2002,” read one bullet point.  But despite having the answers in front of him, Biden still slipped up, saying America ranked 85th in the world in infrastructure, before correcting himself. The press pool at Thursday’s briefing, the first one held by Biden since taking office 65 days ago, was limited to 25 reporters.  Biden only took questions from a list of journalists whose names and outlets he read from a cue card. A photo of the card shows circled numbers around select reporters.   In the early stages of the 62-minute presser, in which Biden fielded 10 questions, the president appeared to repeatedly lose his train of thought, forgetting questions and asking reporters if they wanted him to give detailed answers... He abruptly wrapped up the press conference, telling reporters, “But folks. I’m going,” without sticking around for a follow-up question."

Biden calls Masters champ Hideki Matsuyama 'Japanese boy' - "“Did Biden just use the term ‘Japanese boy’ to describe a grown ass man? oof”"
It's not racist when liberals do it

Biden Reverses Course Again After Backlash and Will Increase Refugee Limit - The New York Times - "After a backlash from Democrats and human rights activists, the White House abruptly reversed course on Friday on the number of refugees it will allow into the United States, a reflection of President Biden’s continuing struggle with immigration policy.  At midday on Friday, the administration had said it would limit the number of refugees allowed into the United States this year to the historically low level of 15,000 set by the Trump administration, breaking an earlier pledge to greatly increase that number and let in more than 60,000 people fleeing war and persecution... The sudden shifts come as the United States struggles with a surge of unaccompanied children and teenagers at the Mexican border, and growing concerns that the increase has already overwhelmed the refugee branch of the Department of Health and Human Services"

GOP and Democrats agree: Press ‘protecting’ Biden - "62% said the media are “protecting Joe Biden by not asking him tough policy questions on issues.”... 55% of Democrats agreed with that assessment, as did 80% of Republicans... Voters also believe that Biden’s press shop is limiting access to the president. By comparison, Trump made himself available nearly daily to the media pool."

Biden Cancer Initiative spent millions on payroll, zero on research: report - "A cancer charity started by Joe Biden gave out no money to research, and spent most of its contributions on staff salaries, federal filings show.  The Biden Cancer Initiative was founded in 2017 by the former vice president and his wife, Jill Biden, to “develop and drive implementation of solutions to accelerate progress in cancer prevention, detection, diagnosis, research and care and to reduce disparities in cancer outcomes,” according to its IRS mission statement. But it gave out no grants in its first two years, and spent millions on the salaries of former Washington, DC, aides it hired...   After only two years, the charity “paused” its operations when Joe Biden and his wife stepped down for his presidential run."

Escape The Echo Chamber - Posts | Facebook - "For the last several administrations, each president has escalated the powers taken by the previous president. I see no reason to expect this change of administrations to be different. Of course, with the shoe on the other foot, what was glorified will be criticized and what was criticized will be glorified."

US should encourage China's rise, Biden national security pick Jake Sullivan says
"America is back"

Ethics group files Hatch Act complaint against WH Press Secretary - "A government watchdog group filed a complaint Friday accusing White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki of violating the federal Hatch Act by praising Virginia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe during her regular briefing...   The complaint from Citizens for Responsibility & Ethics in Washington (CREW) to the Office of Special Counsel alleged that Psaki had improperly used her office to affect the outcome of next month’s election."

Emily Zanotti on Twitter: - "More than 300 Black churches across VA will hear from @KamalaHarris  btwn Sun. and November 2 in video message that will air during morning services as part of outreach effort aimed to boost @TerryMcAuliffe."
"This seems not legal…?"
Only white evangelicals deserve criticism for politicising religion

US jobs figures fall far short of expectations - "US employers hired fewer workers than expected last month despite a huge stimulus package that saw the government send $1,400 (£1,000) cheques to most Americans."
Damn Trump!

Meme - Cam @ @cameron_kasky: "We thought it was "no more kids in cages." Turns out it's "no more talking about kids in cages."
"Genuine question: how can you still identify as a Dem when this pattern of behavior is so rampant within the party?"
"What the fuck am I supposed to be? I'll be voting for these sick twisted fucke my entire life"
Why nothing changes

WATCH: White House press sec defends Chinese Communist Party talking points about 'racist America' | The Post Millennial - "White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki was asked by reporters about a comment made by UN Ambassador for the United States Linda Thomas-Greenfield earlier this week that said US founding principles were "woven with white supremacy.""

Donald Trump Jr. on Twitter - "President Biden shows he's ready to make drastic moves in the Covid-19 fight — even if he's not sure they're legal | Analysis"
"Because that’s what communist totalitarian dictators do. I’m old enough to to remember when democrats would have cared about this a lot."

PolitiFact | No, Joe Biden didn’t use a racist hand gesture. He was trying to illustrate the number 'zero.' - ""Last week Joe Biden flashed the ‘white power’ sign. President Trump condemned white supremacists yesterday. Why hasn't Joe Biden?”
No, Joe Biden didn’t use a racist hand gesture. He was trying to illustrate the number 'zero.'"
It's only a white supremacist hand sign when done by someone the media doesn't like

Opinion | Another Failed Presidency at Hand - The New York Times - "We find ourselves commemorating the first great jihadist victory over America, in 2001, right after delivering the second great jihadist victory over America, in 2021. The 9/11 memorial at the World Trade Center — water cascading into one void, and then trickling, out of sight, into another — has never felt more fitting... Joe Manchin, Democrat from West Virginia, published an essay in The Wall Street Journal in which he said, “I, for one, won’t support a $3.5 trillion bill, or anywhere near that level of additional spending, without greater clarity about why Congress chooses to ignore the serious effects inflation and debt have on existing government programs.”  Is the White House paying any more attention to Manchin’s message than it did to classified intelligence briefs over the summer warning of the prospect of a swift Taliban victory?... The president might also seize the “strategic pause” Manchin has proposed and push House Democrats to pass the $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill without holding it hostage to the $3.5 trillion reconciliation bill. Infrastructure is far more popular with middle-of-the-road voters than the Great Society reprise that was never supposed to be a part of the Biden brand.  My sense is that Biden will do neither. The last few months have told us something worrying about this president: He’s proud, inflexible, and thinks he’s much smarter than he really is. That’s bad news for the administration. It’s worse news for a country that desperately needs to avoid another failed presidency."
His comment elsewhere: "people who wish the president success — and that includes me — need to grasp the extent to which he’s in deep political trouble. It isn’t just the Afghan debacle, or worrisome inflation, or his predictions about the end of the pandemic when the virus had other ideas. I think he has misread his political mandate, which was to be a moderate, unifying leader in the mold of the senior George Bush, not a transformational one in the mold of Lyndon Johnson. And he’s trying to do this on the strength of Kamala Harris’s tiebreaking vote in the Senate. I think it’s a recipe for more social division and political failure."

Alice on Twitter - "I see we've reached the point where the US government is now actively threatening its own citizens"
"gotta show their muscles somehow after being humiliated by the taliban"
"coming home to take out their frustrations on the dog and kids"

Biden looks at little girl in audience and says "I love those barrettes in your hair SHARE & COMMENT - YouTube - "Joe Biden looks at a little girl in the audience, the daughter of a veteran, and says "I love those barrettes in your hair. Man I’ll tell you what, look at her she looks like she's 19 years old sitting there like a little lady with her legs crossed.""

Biden deportation freeze blocked by judge - "A federal judge has temporarily blocked the Biden administration’s move to freeze deportations of illegal immigrants for the next 100-days... In his complaint, Mr Paxton said the directive violates the Administrative Procedure Act, which required that the department seek input from Texas. "

U.S. judge blocks Biden's limits on immigrant arrests, deportation - "A federal judge on Thursday blocked President Joe Biden's administration from enforcing its guidance limiting who can be arrested and deported by U.S. immigration agents, siding with two Republican-led states - Texas and Louisiana - that had challenged it.  U.S. District Judge Drew Tipton, in Corpus Christi, Texas, ruled that the February guidance from the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency violated a federal law requiring that the government "shall detain" people who commit certain crimes or are otherwise deemed eligible for deportation."

Critical Spectator - Posts | Facebook - "Not even a week has passed since Biden's inauguration and his administration already lied several times. Is it likely that Sleepy Joe is going to be labeled a habitual liar just like Trump was? Not really. The mainstream media are fawning over the man and the new age of peace and progress he reportedly started...
1. No plan to combat the pandemic - Biden admitted there's no way for the administration to change the course of the pandemic despite running on a promise of having a plan and accusing Trump of chaos.
2. 100 million vaccinations in 100 days - the administration promised to vaccinate 100 million people in 100 days and that's a very noble vow. There's just one problem - the country has already been on track to achieve just that thanks to Trump's administration...
3. Allegations that Trump's administration left the country with no plan and Biden has to start from scratch - another obvious lie (given the figures I mentioned above) that was challenged even by Dr. Fauci himself, what led to CNN White House correspondent label him as, quote "a Trump administration holdover". You see how quickly one can fall out of favor by merely stating a fact that is uncomfortable for the new glorious leader and his acolytes?
4. Ban on fracking - Biden flip-flopped on the topic of fracking during the campaign, often contradicting himself. He claimed he never really opposed it and yet one of the first executive orders he signed instated a 60 day ban on new drilling permits on federal land and water, now reportedly extended to a year. It means - no new exploration, no expansion of business. This was a pretty swift blow to the industry, which rattled some people even in Democratic states like New Mexico, that saw an economic boost thanks to oil & gas investment. Though I guess in their case we can simply say - serves you right."

Joe Biden’s 1st Speech To Congress Down From Trump In Early Ratingss - "An estimated 26.9 million people watched the president’s address across 16 broadcast and cable networks, according to Nielsen figures released this afternoon. That’s a steep drop from the 47.7 million who watched Donald Trump’s first speech to a joint session on February 28, 2017."

Biden admin prevents 4th of July fireworks at Mount Rushmore, Kristi Noem sues | The Post Millennial - "South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem announced on Twitter Friday that she filed a lawsuit against the Biden Administration after they denied permits for a fireworks display at Mouth Rushmore on the Fourth of July."
Addendum: SD Gov. Noem Slams Biden Admin Decision to Close Mt. Rushmore for Fourth of July -- 'They Don't Want to Celebrate America or Freedoms'

Biden's job rating sinks to 42 percent in NBC News poll a year from midterms - "A majority of Americans now disapprove of President Joe Biden's job performance, while half give him low marks for competence and uniting the country... 7 in 10 adults, including almost half of Democrats, believe the nation is headed in the wrong direction, as well as nearly 60 percent who view Biden's stewardship of the economy negatively just nine months into his presidency... Democrats trail Republicans on which party better handles the economy, inflation and immigration, while they’ve lost ground on issues like education and the coronavirus... “The promise of the Biden presidency — knowledge, competence and stability in tough times — have all been called into question,” Horwitt continued.  “What people voted for was stability and calm," added fellow Democratic pollster Peter Hart. "And what they got was instability and chaos.”... The NBC News poll comes after a rough summer and early fall for the first-year president, as he’s faced a new surge of coronavirus cases and deaths, fallout from the chaotic U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, rising inflation, disappointing jobs numbers and Democratic infighting over Biden’s legislative agenda.  More recently, however, Covid-19 cases and deaths are once again on the decline, and Capitol Hill Democrats have made progress on Biden’s legislative priorities, but still haven’t crossed the finish line...  just 37 percent of adults give him high marks — on a 5-point scale — for being competent and effective as president, and only 28 percent give him high marks for uniting the country... Biden’s favorable/unfavorable rating in the poll (40 percent positive, 48 percent negative) is almost identical to Trump’s in the same survey (38 percent positive, 50 percent negative)."

‘Surprise conclusion’: Trump overtakes Biden in popular support among U.S. voters, poll finds - "Former U.S. president Donald Trump has overtaken his successor, Joe Biden, in popular support"

Hostility Against Joe Biden Grows Across the US amid Record-Low Approval Ratings - "President Biden’s approval rating has fallen to 45% just two days after he was booed at a 9/11 memorial ceremony in New York City.   The figure, calculated as an average of eight major polls by polling data aggregator Real Clear Politics, follows the President’s implementation of widely unpopular COVID-19 vaccine mandates and the chaotic US withdrawal from Afghanistan which left 13 American service members dead. "

Poll: Joe Biden's Approval Rating Drops More than Any President Since 1953 - "President Biden’s 11-point drop in averaged approval ratings over his first three quarters in office marks the most significant decline in approval during the same point in any presidency since 1953, according to Gallup."
