Biden ‘Soiled’ White House Resolute Desk, Says Trump.

Former President Donald Trump told donors that the aging Joe Biden, noted for his physical impairment and memory lapses, may have “literally” soiled the famous Resolute Desk in the White House’s Oval Office.

Trump’s remarks came during a Saturday evening fundraiser in Palm Beach, Florida. Trump criticized President Joe Biden’s border policy and commented on further poor decision-making in the Oval Office, specifically referring to the historically significant Resolute Desk.

“The Resolute Desk is beautiful,” said Trump. “Ronald Reagan used it, others used it. And [Biden’s] using it. I might not use it the next time. It’s been soiled. And I mean that literally, which is sad,” Trump continued.

The Resolute Desk was a gift from Queen Victoria to President Rutherford B. Hayes in 1880 and was made from the timbers of the British Arctic exploration ship HMS Resolute. It has been used by many U.S. presidents in the Oval Office, symbolizing the close relationship between the United States and the United Kingdom.

While Trump’s remarks were likely in jest — “The attendee who witnessed the moment said that dinner guests laughed,” reported The New York Times — some mainstream media organizations have sought to depict Trump’s joke as a “baseless” lie. The Independent, for example, reported that “Trump wildly claims Biden ‘soiled’ himself on White House Resolute desk in latest baseless rant.”

Earlier this year, the Trump campaign released a video mocking Biden’s age-addled body and mind, joking that the octogenarian is enjoying “White House senior living.” Biden’s frailty and cognitive impairment have become an increasing concern for Democrats heading into the 2024 election.

So Uh, About That Latest Jobs Report…

All that glitters is not gold in the latest hiring data, which shows that a surprisingly high 303,000 jobs were added to the U.S. economy in March. Except the numbers are a little more tricky than most of the media coverage would have you believe.

The glitter: The topline number from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) report is way better than the 200,000 jobs economists forecast and is the largest one-month jump since May 2023. Unemployment also ticked down slightly from 3.9 percent to 3.8 percent.

This sounds great until you look closer…

Fools gold: The job gains were entirely made up of part-time employment. In March, 691,000 part-time jobs were added, and full-time jobs dropped by 6,000.

Foreign workers taking American jobs: The March data shows that in the last year, native-born Americans have lost a net of 651,000 jobs. And worse, they have been replaced with 1.3 million foreign-born workers.

  • It’s important to note that the BLS report does not distinguish between foreign-born workers who are here legally or illegally.

Where were jobs added? The sectors that saw the most growth were healthcare (72,000) and government (71,000). There was zero gain in manufacturing jobs.

Big picture: In 2022-2023, the Federal Reserve raised interest rates to make it harder for you to borrow money in the hopes that it would slow down the economy, which, in theory, should cool down inflation. But this hot jobs report means interest rates are going to stay higher for longer — something Joe Biden does not want in an election year.

Trump Calls for Biden to Take Drug Test, Hints at Cocaine Use.

Former President Donald Trump on Thursday challenged Joe Biden to take a drug test if the two were to engage in a debate. The request came during an interview with Hugh Hewitt, during which Trump insinuated that Biden may, at times, be under the influence of cocaine.

“I think what happened is you know that white stuff that they happened to find, which happened to be cocaine in the White House, I don’t know, I think something’s going on there, because I watched this State of the Union, and he was all jacked up at the beginning. By the end, he was fading fast,” Trump noted. “There’s something going on there. I want to debate. And I think debates, with him, at least, should be drug tested. I want a drug test,” he continued. 

Hewitt, caught off guard, sought clarification on Trump’s comment hinting at Biden’s possible cocaine use. Trump replied that although he was not certain what Biden took, he said he believed he was “higher than a kite.”

“He’s obviously — he’s being helped some way, because most of the time, he looks like he’s falling asleep,” Trump said. “And all of a sudden, he walked up there and did a poor job. But he was all jacked up.”

DOJ Admits Ashley Biden’s Diary – Which Claims Familial Molestation – Is Real.

The Justice Department has asked a New York district judge to send Aimee Harris, the woman who stole Ashley Biden‘s diary, to prison for four to 10 months.

Prosecutors initially sought a sentence of six months of home confinement and three years of supervised release for Aimee Harris. However, prosecutors now argue that Harris’s multiple requests to move her hearing date amount to an effort to “improperly delay” her sentencing and are seeking a stiffer sentence.

According to the Department of Justice, the stolen diary was part of a haul that included tax records, private family photographs, and a personal cellphone. All of the items were found in the same Florida home where Ashley Biden once resided.

The legal document, filed by U.S. Attorney Damian Williams, emphasizes the defendant’s disregard for court proceedings and her unwillingness to work within the legal framework. Harris allegedly made false statements to earn unwarranted breaks, refused court appearances, and neglected to provide required information to the court.

After acquiring the diary and other belongings, Harris enlisted Robert Kurlander’s aid to orchestrate a sale. The materials eventually found their way to conservative media outlet Project Veritas in the lead-up to the 2020 election, earning the duo $40,000.

The contents of the diary did not go public, but parts of it were eventually disseminated online, including disturbing revelations about Biden taking showers with her father. “Was I molested? I think so — I can’t remember specifics but I do remember trauma. Hyper-sexualized @ a young age . . . I remember being somewhat sexualized with Caroline; I remember having sex with friends @ a young age; showers w/my dad (probably not appropriate),” Biden wrote.

Harris’s sentencing hearing is set for April 9 and prosecutors have warned against further avoidance, threatening an enhancement for obstruction of justice.

ROCK BOTTOM: Dwayne Johnson Regrets 2020 Biden Endorsement, Slams ‘Woke’ and ‘Cancel’ Culture.

Actor and wrestling star Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson has expressed regret over his endorsement of Joe Biden in 2020, and has vowed not to repeat the error. His comments came in an exclusive interview with Fox News aired Friday morning. Johnson also used the opportunity to blast “woke culture” and “cancel culture.”

“Am I happy with the state of America right now? Well, that answer is no,” Johnson said.

“The endorsement that I made years ago with Biden was one I thought was the best decision for me at that time,” he explained, saying he felt it was his duty to use his influence and his position to share his preferred candidate with the public.

“Am I going to do that again this year? That answer’s no,” he confirmed.

TEARS ME UP.

“What I realize, what that caused back then was something that tears me up in my guts back then and now, which is division. That got me. The takeaway after that, months and months, I realized, that caused division in our country. I realize now going into this election, I will not do that, my goal is to bring this country together.

“[With] this level of influence, I’m going to keep my politics to myself; I think it’s between me and the ballot box,” he said, adding he would support whoever the American people choose.

Johnson also said he was not planning to enter the political arena himself “as of now.”

Far-Left Calls for SCOTUS Justice Sotomayor Retirement Reveal Dems Believe in Trump Victory.

Democrats are increasingly calling on Justice Sonia Sotomayor to resign from the Supreme Court before the 2024 presidential election, suggesting a widespread belief that former President Donald Trump will win.

Sotomayor is 69,  a lifelong diabetic, and the oldest liberal member of the court. Should Trump win the election and Sotomayor need to retire in the next four years due to her health, conservatives could secure a 7-2 majority.

Senator Richard Blumenthal recently expressed those fears. “I’m very respectful of Justice Sotomayor,” he told NBC. “I have great admiration for her. But I think she really has to weigh the competing factors. We should learn a lesson. And it’s not like there’s any mystery here about what the lesson should be. The old saying — graveyards are full of indispensable people, ourselves in this body included.”

Although many Democrats have publicly spoken out against Sotomayor’s retirement, sources indicate that most believe she should. “All the people in the liberal legal community are putting hurting Sonia’s feelings ahead of the prospect of a 7-2 court. Insane,” said one Democrat who worked on judicial nominations but is prohibited from speaking about the justices publicly. “So they don’t say anything about her retiring when they all think she should.”

Controversial former MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan echoed these concerns in a column in The Guardian. “Biden, elected Democrats, and liberals and progressives across the board should be both publicly and privately encouraging Sotomayor to consider what she wants her legacy to be, to remember what happened with [Ruth Bader Ginsburg], and to not take any kind of gamble with the future of our democracy,” Hasan wrote.

Trump currently leads Biden in six of seven of the most crucial swing states, according to recent polling.

Biden Squandered America’s Emergency Oil Reserves. Now He Won’t Refill Them.

Joe Biden canceled plans to begin refilling our Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR), which he depleted to drive down gas prices ahead of the 2022 midterm elections.

What is the SPR? It’s our emergency oil reserve, meant for use during emergencies like war and natural disasters.

The details: Last month, the Biden regime’s Department of Energy said it planned to purchase three million barrels of oil to begin refilling the SPR. But yesterday, it abruptly canceled the purchase due to the rising price of oil.

Zoom out: When President Trump left office, the SPR had 638 million barrels of oil. Since taking over, Biden has drained 43 percent of the reserves, currently at 363 million barrels — a 40-year low.

Political motivations: In the months leading up to the 2022 midterm elections, gas prices spiked above $5 per gallon (national average). In response, Biden sold off 180 million barrels from our SPR to drive them down.

Tale of two presidents: While Biden has depleted our reserves, former President Trump proposed topping off the reserves before leaving office, with plans to add 77 million barrels while oil prices were low. But Congress refused to sign off on funding him.

Real talk: Today, the national average gas price is steadily creeping back up and currently sits at $3.56. If they continue to climb as we get closer to the 2024 presidential election, maybe Joe will go for broke and just sell off the rest of the SPR.

Biden Failed to Declare Emergency After East Palestine Train Disaster.

Joe Biden regime officials failed to declare the Norfolk Southern train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio, a public health emergency despite the chemical fire and mass evacuation that followed.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) claims insufficient proof of widespread health issues or ongoing chemical exposure has been presented despite many residents voicing concerns over persistent respiratory problems and rashes.

The Government Accountability Project obtained official emails discussing the possibility of declaring an emergency through a public records request. They found that the EPA has insisted that it can manage the situation in East Palestine without escalating it to an emergency.

This is despite the fact Norfolk Southern was told by the EPA the conditions created at the derailment site “may constitute an imminent and substantial endangerment to the public health or welfare or the environment.”

Residents complain of numerous issues, including chronic nosebleeds and a chemical stench in the air after it rains.

“I talk to residents all the time and they’re having new seizures pop up, cancers. I mean, a lot of the damage has already been done to these people,” said Government Accountability Project investigator Lesley Pacey.

DATA: Trump Leads Biden in 6 of 7 Critical Swing States.

Former President Donald Trump leads Joe Biden in six of the seven most critical swing states. A recent Wall Street Journal poll queried voters from Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin — all states that could decide the 2024 election. Trump is leading Biden in all of them except Wisconsin, where the two candidates are tied.

The former President leads Biden 47 percent to 42 percent in Arizona, 49 percent to 45 percent in Georgia, 48 percent to 45 percent in Michigan, 48 percent to 44 percent in Nevada, 49 percent to 43 percent in North Carolina, and 47 percent to 44 percent in Pennsylvania. Trump and Biden sit at 46 percent each in Wisconsin.

If Trump were to lose Wisconsin but win the other six states, he would almost certainly win the Presidency.

The poll comes as voters consistently rank immigration, inflation, and the economy in general as their most important issues — all areas in which Biden’s policy failures have been acutely apparent.

Illegal immigration — once the concern solely of border states — is now a national issue as the border crisis continues to spiral out of control and illegal aliens are flooding into the nation’s interior, straining resources and committing crimes.

The real inflation rate continues to sit well above the Federal Reserve’s two percent target, driving up the cost of living for most Americans.

Cartoon Network Promotes ‘Transgender Day of Visibility.’

Cartoon Network, which airs animated content primarily aimed at children and young viewers, celebrated the “Transgender Day of Visibility” — which coincided with Easter Sunday this year — on an Instagram post.

Along with a series of colorful, child-friendly images featuring pro-trans slogans, the Warner Bros.-owned network wrote “Affirmations for our trans and gender non-conforming family. You are valid, just as you are 💖🏳️‍⚧️ #TransgenderDayofVisbility.” The network also implied that opposition to promoting transgenderism is “hate,” commenting: “We’re not doing hate today. Be kind or be blocked.”

Cartoon Network’s persistent promotion of transgender and gender non-conforming themes has been evident in its programming. Last year, the “We Baby Bears” animated series introduced “non-binary” characters that used “they/them” pronouns. During last year’s “Transgender Day of Visibility,” the network promoted “preferred pronouns.”

The Biden regime caused controversy this week when it promoted the “Transgender Day of Visibility” on Easter Sunday, the holiest day in the Christian calendar. Transgender ideology is explicitly at odds with Christian teachings, and many viewed the Biden government’s support for the “Transgender Day” observance as a direct and intentional insult to Christians, especially in light of the fact it had banned Christian symbols at its annual Easter egg hunt.
