Biden White House Told Amazon to Censor COVID Books.

The Biden regime strong-armed Amazon into censoring books on COVID-19 vaccines it deemed “misinformation,” according to e-mails obtained by the House Judiciary Committee and the Weaponization subpanel.

The details: Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan revealed the discovery in a thread on X that he called “THE AMAZON FILES.” The e-mails cover a 10-day span, from March 2 – March 12, 2021.

First contact Andy Slavitt, Biden’s senior COVID-19 response advisor at the time, e-mailed Amazon on March 2 asking: “Who can we talk to about the high levels of propaganda and misinformation and disinformation of Amazon?”
  • Slavitt complained that when he searched “vaccines,” books that the regime did not approve of were shown in the results. He added, “I don’t see a CDC warning.”
  • Amazon pushed back against censorship, but as Rep. Jordan points out: “Not out of any commitment to free speech, but because doing so would be “too visible” to the American public and likely to spur criticism from conservative media.”
Be more like Facebook: In another March 2 e-mail, Slavitt asks Amazon, “Why don’t you tag books that are not scientifically sound the way FB/Twitter tags content.”
  • The tag on Facebook and Twitter (now X) popped up anytime COVID-19 or vaccines were mentioned.
  • Jordan writes: “For the Biden Admin, letting Americans think for themselves was unacceptable.”
The meeting: On March 9, Amazon met with the White House to discuss their concerns. While we don’t know the exact details of their discussion, a follow-up Amazon e-mail revealed the “top talking points” going into the meeting, which included:
  • “Is the Admin asking us to remove books, or are they more concerned about search results/order (or both)?”
Amazon caves: On the same day Amazon met with Biden regime officials, the online retailer began filing “anti-vax” books under a “Do Not Promote” order, likely suppressing how they appeared in search results.
  • Three days later, on March 12, Amazon e-mails discussed “additional steps Amazon might want to take to reduce the visibility” of books discussing COVID-19 vaccine skepticism.
The last word goes to @LibsOfTikTok on X, who wrote: “The left accuses us of “banning books” because we don’t want p*rn in schools. Turns out the real book banners are the Democrats.”

Biden Disapproval Rises to 61 Percent, 65 Percent View Economy Negatively.

Joe Biden’s approval rating has dipped three points to 38 percent compared to December in AP/NORC polling, while disapproval is up two points to 61 percent.

The share of adults who view the economy negatively is down by four points but still stands at 65 percent overall, compared to 35 percent who view the economy positively. Opinions on Biden’s handling of the economy are similar, with 64 percent disapproving of his performance against 35 percent who approve.

Views on Biden’s performance overseas are also poor, with 60 percent saying he is managing relations with China badly. In terms of foreign policy in general, disapproval stands at an even higher 62 percent.

The AP/NORC polling on Biden, the economy, and foreign policy follows Morning Consult polling that puts Donald Trump ahead of the incumbent nationally and in all seven swing states.

Swing state voters seem particularly aggrieved by the Democrat’s performance on immigration, with six in ten Morning Consult respondents holding him responsible for the crisis at the southern border.

DATA: ‘Elite One Percent’ in U.S. Hold Radical, Anti-American Values.

A new poll released this week suggests that the growth of radical left-wing authoritarianism in America is being driven solely by the country’s wealthiest citizens. Research by Scott Rasmussen has revealed a yawning gulf between regular Americans and “the elite one percent” — people living in densely populated urban centers with postgraduate degrees and a household income over $150,000.

Polling found that, relative to Americans at large, this group was much more Democrat, much more authoritarian, and much more willing to cheat to win elections.

Only 21 percent of elites told the pollster there is “not enough” individual freedom in America, while 47 percent said there is “too much.” This compares to 57 percent of voters overall who think there is “not enough” individual freedom, and just 16 percent who think there is “too much.”

Seventy-seven percent of elites said they would like to impose “restrictions and rationing” on private citizens’ access to gas, electricity, and even meat. In comparison, 63 percent of voters overall opposed such measures. Most elites also favored banning gas-powered vehicles, gas-burning stoves, sport utility vehicles (SUVs), “non-essential” air travel, and private air conditioning to fight “climate change.”

Rasmussen said his most “terrifying” finding was the proportion of elites who admitted they “would rather cheat than lose a close election.” Support for cheating stands at just seven percent among all voters but at 35 percent among elites — and an astonishing 69 percent among a subset of elites Rasmussen designated as “politically obsessed,” discussing politics daily.

The polling also found that Joe Biden has much stronger support among elites than the general population. Elites also have a much higher opinion of lawmakers, journalists, and professors, and more trust in government officials in general.

Their priorities are very different from the average American’s, with most voters listing border security and immigration among their top two or three issues. Not one elite respondent listed the border or immigration as a concern.

Biden Sex Accuser Tara Reade Suing DoJ.

Tara Reade, the woman who accused Joe Biden of sexually assaulting her in 1993, is suing the Department of Justice for invasion of privacy, emotional distress, and state and federal civil rights violations. She is seeking $10 million in damages, alleging she was subjected to an ongoing FBI investigation designed to shield Biden from her sexual assault accusation.

“Tara Reade was sexually victimized by then-Senator Joseph Biden in 1993. Her case was suppressed by Congressional investigators to protect Senator Biden and the records remain sealed,” a press release announcing the lawsuit states. “When Tara spoke out again in 2019, she was immediately subjected to an ongoing FBI Operation to revictimize her a second time. The FBI Operation ‘Cassandra’ was opened in order to retaliate, intimidate, discredit, and if possible, eliminate Tara as a threat to President Biden.”

The lawsuit states that as a result of Operation Cassandra, Reade “suffered severe emotional distress and anxiety, was subjected to death threats, was unlawfully surveilled and had her communications and financial records seized and recorded and was forced to apply for asylum to a third country in credible fear of her life and liberty.” These actions, the suit argues, violate the Fourth Amendment under Bivens; 28 U.S.C. § 1331, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, 50 U.S.C. § 1810, and “state law for invasion of privacy under Federal Tort Claims Act, 28 U.S.C. §§ 1346(b), 2671.”

Reade, who worked as an aide in then-Senator Biden’s office, first accused him of sexual assault in 1993, claiming that Biden pinned her against a wall and reached under her skirt before sexually assaulting her.

Western Nations Have Donated Over $8 BILLION To UNRWA – Whose Staff Aided Hamas Terror – Over 10 Years.

An analysis by The National Pulse has revealed that Western nations donated over $8 billion to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRW) between 2013 and 2022. Over $2.5 billion came from the United States alone.

According to data compiled by UNRWA, in the ten years from 2013 to 2022, the United States gave $2,558,830,210, the EU and its member states collectively gave $5,246,475,932, and Australia, Canada, and New Zealand gave a combined $313,429,066 to the controversial agency — a grand total of $8,118,735,208. 

At least 11 nations have announced their intention to stop funding UNRWA following revelations that some of its employees directly took part in the October 7, 2023, terrorist attack against Israel, including participating in massacres at an Israel Kibbutz and kidnapping women.

In the final two years of his presidency, Donald Trump eliminated U.S. funding for UNRWA. The Biden regime reauthorized funding for the agency and gave it a combined $682,337,718 in 2021 and 2022. Figures for 2023 funding for UNRWA are not yet available.

At Least 3 US Troops Killed, Dozens Injured in Iran-Backed Drone Attack.

A drone attack in the nation of Jordan led to the deaths of three U.S. military service members and injured at least another 25, U.S. Central Command officials confirmed on Sunday. The overnight assault targeted a small outpost, Tower 22, in northeast Jordan near the Syrian border. It is the first time American troops have been killed by enemy fire in the region since hostilities commenced in October 2023.

U.S. forces stationed at the outpost have been engaged in an advise-and-assist mission with their Jordanian counterparts. The drone infiltration and subsequent attack prompted questions as to why the air defenses around Tower 22 failed to intercept the drone.

The loss of American life will further undermine any Biden government claims to handle national security matters well. Biden pinned the blame on Iran on Sunday, a nation which has enjoyed a loosening of sanctions and nuclear weapons development under the Biden regime.

DATA: Trump Leads Biden by 6 in New Reuters/Ipsos Poll.

A new Reuters/Ipsos poll shows former President Donald Trump leading Joe Biden nationally by 6 points — 40 percent to 34 percent — in the wake of his historic victories in the Iowa caucuses and New Hampshire primary.

The poll reveals significant national momentum for Trump — a similar Reuters/Ipsos poll taken earlier this month had he and Biden tied at 35 percent each. Trump maintained his six-point lead in the new survey even when those polled were given the option of voting for third-party candidates, and although 67 percent of respondents said they were “tired of seeing the same candidates in presidential elections and want someone new,” just 18 percent said they would not vote if the election came down to Trump v. Biden.

Voters are also far less happy with Biden being on the Democratic ticket than Trump becoming the eventual Republican nominee. Seventy percent of respondents, including roughly half of Democrats, agreed that Biden should not seek re-election. Only 56 percent of respondents believed Trump should not run.

The new poll also contains bad news for Nimarata ‘Niki’ Haley, whose future campaign hopes rest on a solid performance in the South Carolina primary on February 24. According to the poll, Trump maintains a 45-point lead over Haley — 64 percent to 19 percent. Haley has already seen significant donors abandon her campaign following her double-digit loss to Trump in New Hampshire, and the new data suggests she is unlikely to fair any better in the Palmetto State.

NH AG Investigates Fake Biden Robocalls.

The New Hampshire Attorney General’s office announced it is investigating robocalls that reportedly use artificial intelligence to emulate Joe Biden’s voice. The calls, delivered on Sunday, discourage voters from participating in Tuesday’s primary elections. Attorney General John Formella stated that the messages appeared to be an illegal attempt to disrupt and suppress votes.

“Voting this Tuesday only enables the Republicans in their quest to elect Donald Trump again,” the robocall says in Biden’s voice. “Your vote makes a difference in November, not this Tuesday.”

The calls seemed to originate from the personal cellphone number of Kathy Sullivan, a former state Democratic chair. Sullivan currently serves as treasurer for Granite for America, a pro-Biden super PAC. Sullivan informed law enforcement of the calls and lodged a complaint with the attorney general.

“This call links back to my personal cell phone number without my permission,” Sullivan said in a statement. “It is outright election interference, and clearly an attempt to harass me and other New Hampshire voters who are planning to write-in Joe Biden on Tuesday.”

The identity of the source behind the fabricated calls has not yet been discovered.

Biden is not on the Democratic ballot in New Hampshire. However, former President Donald Trump is on the state’s Republican ballot. He is expected to win the primary there by a large margin.

Biden Presidential Approval Rating Drops to Near 20-Year Low.

Joe Biden’s presidential approval rating has plummeted to a near 20-year low, according to a new ABC/Ipsos poll.

The Democratic president currently sits at 58 percent disapproval and only 33 percent approval — the worst presidential approval numbers since George W. Bush between 2006 and 2008. The poll also revealed that just 57 percent of voters who lean Democratic would be satisfied with Biden as the Party’s nominee in 2024.

A deeper dive into the poll results sheds some light on why. As the border crisis rages on, only 18 percent of respondents support Biden’s handling of immigration — the lowest number on record since ABC began polling the issue in 2004. Biden is also facing high disapproval numbers due to his mishandling of the economy. Seventy-one percent of those polled said the economy was bad, with nearly half saying they are worse off now economically than when Donald Trump was president. Overall, 56 percent of people disapprove of Biden’s handling of the economy.

President Biden is also hemorrhaging support among younger minority voters. While Biden maintains a 65 percent approval rating among Black people aged 50 and up, he has only a 32 percent approval rating among Black people younger than 50. His approval rating with Black people in general is 21 points below average, and among Hispanic people, it is 15 points below average, according to the poll. Biden has also seen women abandon him. Although he received the vote of 57 percent of women in 2020, he now only has the approval of 31 percent.

Biden Raised Nearly $100M in Q4 2023.

The Biden campaign and Democratic National Committee raised over $97 million during the Fourth Quarter of 2023, the campaign announced.

Biden campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez called the campaign’s impressive fundraising a “historic haul” before claiming that “democracy and hard-fought basic rights and freedoms are on the line in 2024, and these numbers prove that the American people know the stakes and are taking action early to help defeat the extreme MAGA Republican agenda again.”

The campaign said more than 520,000 donors contributed to Biden and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) in Q4 2023, with 97 percent of donations below $200. The Biden team conducted 39 fundraisers in the final quarter, benefitting from more than 130,000 donors who contribute monthly. A competition to meet Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris also raised over $3 million for the campaign.

The Biden campaign now has $117 million cash on hand.
