New York Times: Jill Biden ‘Is Shielding Her Husband.’

The New York Times has reported that First Lady Jill Biden is “shielding her husband” Joe, especially from media scrutiny, and exercises great amounts of influence in the 46th President’s West Wing.

Quoting from the Times’ White House Correspondent’s new book “American Woman: The Transformation of the Modern First Lady, From Hillary Clinton to Jill Biden,” the “paper of record” admits:

Within Mr. Biden’s inner circle, no one knows how taxing the job can be more than Jill Biden, the first lady. At times, she has worked to shield him from the sort of off-the-cuff interactions with reporters that occurred on Thursday evening, when Mr. Biden veered away from scripted remarks and started answering questions.

It goes on:

Dr. Biden’s influence is felt in both the White House and the Biden campaign, and there is little doubt among those who know her that one of the first lady’s highest priorities is shielding her husband and family.

She has been directly involved in the hiring of members of his press staff and other senior aides, and is in most of his political meetings. When she does not like something, she points it out. Campaign aides and White House officials privately joke that if Dr. Biden is with him at an event, it is sure to end on time. (Mr. Biden is otherwise often late.)

Some of the people hired by Dr. Biden feel that her East Wing can be a safe haven from an intense workplace, because, as one person close to her put it, no one would dare fire one of her hires.

The news comes shortly after Special Counsel Robert Hur concluded that Biden was mentally unfit to stand trial for “willfully” retaining classified documents from his time as Vice President.

Rep. Luna’s SCHUMER Act Would Require Pro-War Lawmakers To Fight In Wars They Authorize.

Representative Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) is set to introduce the SCHUMER Act, requiring any Member of Congress supporting sending U.S. troops to fight in Ukraine to join them on the front lines. The Flordia Republican’s bill is in direct response to recent comments made by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), in which he threatened that U.S. military forces would be sent to Ukraine unless Congress authorized additional funding for the nation.

“I make no apologies,” Rep. Luna said, adding: “My bill, the SCHUMER Act, would require Members of Congress to fight on the front lines in Ukraine if they support Schumer’s calls for American sons & daughters to fight.” The legislation would require any Capitol Hill lawmaker who backs sending American soldiers to Ukraine to enlist alongside them and serve a six-month tour as part of a contingency operation.

Earlier this week, Sen. Schumer attempted to blackmail his colleagues in the Senate into supporting a supplemental funding bill that would have provided Ukraine a new round of military aid, along with modest funding for U.S. border security and an overhaul of visa and work-permit programs for immigrants. “If we don’t aid Ukraine, Putin will walk all over Ukraine, we will lose the war,” Schumer said before continuing: “We could be fighting in eastern Europe in a NATO ally in a few years. Americans won’t like that.”

While the Ukraine/U.S. Border supplemental funding bill failed its initial cloture vote on Wednesday, Schumer revived the Ukraine and Israel funding provisions as stand-alone legislation. The new bill will face several procedural hurdles before it can receive a final vote on the Senate floor, which is expected in a matter of days.

Biden Insists He *Is* Fit for Prosecution, Before Claiming Mexico Borders Gaza.

Joe Biden reacted with fury after a 345-page Justice Department report on his mishandling of classified documents questioned his mental faculties, railing at special counsel Robert Hur and members of the press for questioning his memory. He then proceeded to confuse the presidents of Mexico and Egypt.

“My memory is fine,” Biden insisted, refusing to accept Hur’s assessment that his memory had shown “significant limitations” during an investigatory interview. Hur noted in his report that the 81-year-old Democrat “did not remember when he was vice president” and “did not remember, even within several years, when his son Beau died.”

“How in the hell dare he raise that!” Biden said of the latter observation. Beau Biden died in 2015.

Fielding questions from the press, Biden shouted at reporters who pressed him on public concerns over his mental and physical fitness. Referring to Hur’s recommendation that he should not be charged because a jury, like the Justice Department, would see him as a “sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory,” Biden seethed: “I’m well-meaning, and I’m an elderly man, and I know what the hell I’m doing.”

Shortly afterward, however, he described General Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, the President of Egypt, as “the President of Mexico,” suggesting he should be given credit for persuading Mexico to “open up the gate to allow humanitarian material” into Gaza during the Israel-Hamas war.

This follows Joe Biden claiming he spoke to Francois Mitterand of France and Helmut Kohl of Germany about January 6th at a G7 meeting in 2021. Neither have governed their countries since the 1990s, and both have been dead for many years.

Dem Sen. Murphy: Illegal Aliens Are The People Democrats ‘Care About The Most.’

Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) said Wednesday that “undocumented Americans” are the people whom Democrats “care about most.”

The liberal Democrat made the comments during a discussion with MSNBC’s Chris Hayes, who noted that, unlike in the past, the Democrats didn’t push for a “path the citizenship” during negotiations with Republicans over the Ukraine/U.S. border supplemental funding bill.

“Well, I mean, Chris, that’s been a failed play for 20 years. So you are right that that has been the Democratic strategy for 30 years, maybe, and it has failed to deliver for the people we care about most, the undocumented Americans that are in this country,” Murphy said.

Despite admitting that the Democratic Party cares more about illegal aliens than U.S. citizens, Murphy admitted that behaving accordingly is no longer politically viable in the current climate.

“This is also not 2013 any longer when we ran that play last. Back then, there were a couple hundred people showing up every day applying for asylum. Today, on some days, there are 8,000. And the reality is that the bulk of this country does not think that’s right or sustainable and wants us to change the reality at the border,” Murphy said.

Due to the Biden regime’s mismanagement, the crisis at the southern border has become so dire that a majority of Americans believe what is happening there constitutes an invasion. Illegal border crossings have surged since Biden took office. Just this week, it was revealed that U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has logged one million encounters since October 1, the start of the 2024 fiscal year.

Trump Dominates Virgin Islands Caucus with 74 Percent of the Vote.

Donald Trump won a resounding victory in the U.S. Virgin Islands caucus, earning 73.98 percent of the vote against just 26.06 percent for neoconservative rival Nimarata ‘Nikki’ Haley.

“I want to thank you all. We had a tremendous victory,” Trump said in a telephone call to supporters gathered in the territory’s capital, Charlotte Amalie.

“We expected to win, but we didn’t expect to win by that much. You are incredible people I will never forget,” added the former president.

The Virgin Islands GOP defied party rules to hold its caucus early to “ensure the voice” of the islanders was heard, according to local chairman Gordon Ackley.

Ackley noted that, like other U.S. territories, the Virgin Islands cannot vote in the presidential elections. An early caucus “was important” to ensure they were not overlooked, he said.

“Every state and every territory should try to make itself and its voters as relevant as possible. It’s absurd that the same couple of states have a monopoly on the calendar,” he said, referring to GOP rules allowing only Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, and South Carolina to hold primary or caucus votes before March 1st.

Trump won the Nevada caucus decisively the same day as the Virgin Islands caucus. A rival Nevada primary, which Trump skipped and did not award delegates, saw Haley come a distant second to a “none of the above” option.

Biden Deploys White House Hit Team to Win Back Muslim Voters in Michigan.

A significant number of senior government officials from Joe Biden’s White House are meeting with Muslim and Arab Americans in Michigan today, after polls revealed Biden’s sinking numbers with the demographic since the October 7th Hamas terror attacks and U.S. response.

The meeting will explicitly address the Israel-Hamas war and the civilian deaths in Gaza. The named officials involved include:

  • Steve Benjamin, senior adviser to the president;
  • Tom Perez, senior adviser;
  • Jon Finer, principal deputy national security adviser;
  • Samantha Power, USAID administrator,
  • Jamie Citron, principal deputy director of the Office of Public Engagement;
  • Dan Kosh, director of the Office of Intergovernmental Affairs;
  • Mazen Basraw, National Security Council director for partnerships and global engagement.

The utilization of taxpayer-funded resources to help prop up Biden’s election hopes will certainly raise eyebrows.

The same local group canceled on the Biden campaign itself last month, which has led to the White House deploying its resources to prop up the campaign’s failures. Biden has groveled to U.S. Muslims in recent months, even admitting to being “disappointed” in himself over the Israel-Hamas war response. This came after swathes of Muslim Americans said they would withhold their votes in November.

Biden also appointed radical Dearborn Mayor Abdullah Hammoud to the State Department’s Assembly of Local Leaders program. Hammoud, known for his staunch anti-Israel positions, excused the Hamas terror attack on the Jewish state as “inevitable.”

Now Biden Claims He Spoke to Dead German Chancellor at Same Summit as Dead French Prez.

Joe Biden has blundered again while describing a G7 summit in 2021, claiming Chancellor Helmut Kohl of Germany – who left office in 1998 and died in 2017 – spoke with him about January 6th.

Previously, Biden told an audience in Nevada he spoke to “[President François] Mitterand from Germany, I mean from France” at the G7 in Britain, in a story first reported by The National Pulse.

Press pool reporters say the 81-year-old Democrat managed to remember Emmanuel Macron was President of France when repeating the story at a subsequent fundraiser in New York but instead gaffed when he came to the Chancellor of Germany.

“Helmut Kohl of Germany looked at me and said, ‘What would you say, Mr. President, if you picked up the London Times tomorrow morning and learned that 1,000 people had broken down… the doors of the British Parliament and killed some  bobbies on the way in [to] deny the Prime Minister to take office?’ And you think, what would we think?”

Biden repeated a similar story later that day, again claiming Helmut Kohl made the remarks in 2021. In that year, Germany was led by Angela Merkel.

MSNBC: Third-Party Candidates ‘A Threat to Our Democracy.’

During an appearance on MSNBC on Wednesday, Tara Setmayer, former CNN commentator and senior adviser to The Lincoln Project, said that third-party presidential candidates are “a threat to our democracy.”

“I think that third-party candidates are spoilers. I mean, history could potentially repeat itself again, and now more than ever, the idea of a third party is a threat to our democracy.” Setmayer remarked during a discussion about Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s independent campaign.

Setmayer’s assertion that giving voters in a democracy more choices in elections is a threat to democracy is odd, as The Lincoln Project is, in its own words, “dedicated to the preservation, protection, and defense of democracy.” Observers have noted, however, that the phrase “threat to democracy” is increasingly becoming a catchall used by globalists to describe anything with which they disagree and threatens the globalist power structure.

“You’ll see over the course of the next couple of months. Basically, everything is a threat to democracy,” National Pulse Editor-in-Chief Raheem Kassam noted in a January interview with Steve Bannon. “The oxygen you breathe will be a threat to democracy, elections, casting your vote — that’s a threat to democracy. Every single thing that isn’t globalism writ large is a threat to democracy in their terms, in their words,” Kassam said.

In a speech marking the third anniversary of the Jan 6 riots, Joe Biden said that “democracy” is at stake in the 2024 presidential election, a sentiment echoed by Setmayer, who also said during her Wednesday MSNBC appearance that “Donald Trump is a threat to our democratic system.”

Democrat Organizer Charged with Mail-In Ballot Fraud.

Democratic Party organizer Craig Callaway, former President of the City Council of Atlantic City, has been arrested for “depriving, defrauding, and attempting to deprive and defraud the residents of the state of New Jersey of a fair and impartially conducted election process by the fraudulent procurement, casting, and tabulation of ballots. “

The Justice Department accuses the 64-year-old Democrat of approaching Atlantic City residents and offering to pay them $30 to $50 to act as “authorized messengers” for voters who “supposedly wished to vote by mail” in 2022.

Once recruited, these “messengers” would bring Vote-By-Mail Applications to county officials and have them approved. However, instead of taking the mail-in ballots officials provided to the voters on the applications, as required by law, Callaway’s messengers “handed the ballots to Callaway or his subordinates.”

“Many of the mail-in ballots collected by Callaway or his subordinates were ultimately cast in the names of people who have confirmed that they did not vote in the 2022 General Election — either in person or by submitting a mail-in ballot — and that they did not authorize Callaway, his subordinates, or anyone else, to cast ballots for them,” the Justice Department says, confirming that “[m]any of these mail-in ballots were counted towards in the election.”

The Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) censored social media users who questioned the integrity of mail-in voting in 2020.

Biden Govt Classes Martha’s Vineyard as ‘Low-Income’ So It Qualifies for Subsidized EV Chargers.

The Joe Biden regime has classified elite getaways, including Martha’s Vineyard, as “low-income” in an effort to qualify them for an electric vehicle (EV) charger subsidy program under the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). The EV charger tax credit program was supposed to allocate subsidies to “low-income” or “non-urban” areas.

An examination of the Department of Energy’s (DOE) eligibility map identified several upscale areas deemed “low-income” by the regime, allowing them to receive EV charger subsidies. To be seen as “low-income,” areas must either have a poverty rate of over 20 percent, a median income beneath 80 percent of their wider metropolitan region’s median family income, or not be linked to any particular metro area.

Somehow, affluent areas such as the resort destination of Nantucket Island and the Vineyard Haven section of Martha’s Vineyard have met these criteria. Other wealthy areas identified as “low-income” include sections of Cape Cod, areas of New York City’s Upper East Side, Rehoboth Beach in Delaware, and Beverly Hills.

Biden’s former boss, Barack Obama, and his wife, Michelle, are among the best-known residents of Martha’s Vineyard, where they own an $11.75 million mansion and estate.
