President Joe Biden has a long list of slip-ups in his political history, and his first year in the White House was no exception. In addition to bumbling through national addresses and mixing up the titles of world leaders, Biden infamously misremembered his past, lied, and even made up several stories to score points with his audience. Here are just a few of such incidents.1. Joe Biden’s Made-Up Amtrak StoryAt a 50th-anniversary event for Amtrak in Philadelphia, Biden said that when he was vice president, a train conductor congratulated him for traveling 1.5 million miles on Amtrak. A Fox News...

President Biden said Thursday that Americans unvaccinated against the coronavirus are facing a winter of "severe illness and death." "It’s here now and it’s spreading and it’s going to increase," the president said about the omicron variant while meeting with his coronavirus response team. "For unvaccinated we are looking at a winter of severe illness and death if you’re unvaccinated for themselves, their families, and the hospitals they will soon overwhelm." "But, there’s good news," Biden added. "If you’re vaccinated and have your booster shot you’re protected from severe illness and death."

It's been a busy and not particularly good day for President Joe Biden and his Build Back Better agenda. Not long after the White House released a statement from the president raising doubts about the future of the bill, news broke that the Senate parliamentarian, Elizabeth MacDonough, had rejected a third proposal from Senate Democrats to do with including immigration reform in the bill.Democrats only have a shot at passing Biden's spending bill through the reconciliation process. While it only needs a simple majority to pass, it must also meet certain rules for what's included in the legislation, namely that...

A federal judge has ruled that a New York-based Christian photographer must provide services for same-sex wedding celebrations despite holding religious objections to gay marriage. Judge Frank Geraci, Jr. of the U.S. District Court for the Western District of New York, rejected a request by Emilee Carpenter of the upstate New York-based Emilee Carpenter Photography to grant a preliminary injunction against a state anti-discrimination law. In his ruling Monday, the Obama appointee concluded that “New York has a compelling interest in ensuring that individuals, without regard to sexual orientation, have equal access to publicly available goods and services, and that...

"Absolutely terrible. GET OUT OF BLUE STATES FOLKS… NOW not later… make the move. Save your life and freedom because it is only going to get worse"

Is Omicron really a “new strain,” or is there more than meets the eye to this latest COVID narrative? Say I’m a scientist who has just discovered a previously undetected matter in the universe. Let’s call it Purple Matter. The world never bothered to test specifically for Purple Matter until now, because they had no idea Purple Matter existed. Somehow, my Purple Matter testing protocol finds Purple Matter EVERYWHERE. Does that mean my newly discovered Purple Matter only surfaced when I started testing for it? Of course not. If my Purple Matter test launched just last month, I would be...

With Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) continuing to give his own party nightmares as the infighting over President Biden’s “Build Back Better” agenda rages on with no end in sight, talk on Capitol Hill has (predictably) turned to speculation over whether or not Manchin is planning an eventual flip to the dark side – also known as switching to the Republican party.The Associated Press floated a story today suggesting that some Senate Democrats were very “concerned he could switch parties and take away their slim hold on power” considering the Senate as it stands now is at a 50/50 split, with...

Due to party infighting, Democrats are now looking to push a vote on Joe Biden’s big-government socialism juggernaut, the Build Back Better Act, into next year. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) had hoped to pass the bill before Christmas, but key holdouts like Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) made it impossible to pass the bill through the evenly split Senate due to his concerns about the hefty price tag. Democrats now expect a vote won’t happen until January at the earliest. But that’s wishful thinking, according to Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) who says Biden’s $3 trillion plan is “dead forever.”...

"Fox News host Sean Hannity has fired back at Wyoming RINO Rep. Liz Cheney for reading out his text message during the public January 6 hearing. Hannity called for her emails and texts, and those of her family, to be made public. Hannity was responding to Cheney reading his private text to Mark Meadows on Jan 6 during a public hearing. “I’d like to see all Cheney family texts, emails, transcripts, phone calls, kissing Donald Trump’s a** to get a pardon for Scooter Libby—and what was the aftermath of that?” Hannity blasted. ..."

Cardinal Gerhard Ludwig Mueller. (Photo internet reproduction) "People, who sit on the throne of their wealth" see an "opportunity to push their agenda," the cardinal said, naming Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, billionaire George Soros and Davos Economic Forum head Klaus Schwab among those behind the global control scheme. RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – A German cardinal has claimed that the coronavirus pandemic has been used by the likes of George Soros and Bill Gates to create a global “surveillance state.” Gerhard Ludwig Mueller, a high-ranking Vatican court judge, has said in an interview with Austria’s St. Boniface Institute last week...

After biological male transgender swimmer Lia Thomas dominated women’s events at the Zippy Invitational at the University of Akron earlier this month, athletes have expressed their frustrations at the fact that a man pretending to be a woman is setting records and overshadowing actual women in NCAA competitions.Last week here at PJ Media, my esteemed colleague Robert Spencer noted that Thomas’ fellow swimmers — the real women swimmers of the University of Pennsylvania — are secretly unhappy with their teammate.Behind the façade of joy and pride in Thomas’ accomplishments is growing discontent with the devaluation of women’s athletics that the...

Santa Claus is coming to town, but this year he just might find more naughty than nice! Check out what happened when I donned the jolly old elf’s red suit and asked the guys what gifts they want for Christmas in 2021! Seems like I wasn’t the only one playing dress-up! Watch now!

In a recent interview, billionaire Elon Musk stated that the most serious problem we face as a society is that not enough children are being born.I can't emphasize this enough. There are not enough people. And I think one of the biggest risks to civilization is the low birthrate and the rapidly declining birthrate. He's right. The statistics are grim: in 2020, the Centers for Disease Control reported that the U.S. birth rate is plummeting and is the lowest it has been since 1909. The 2020 Census data show that population growth is the slowest since 1930.Part of the population...

In a sane world, where facts and science held sway, it would all be over soon.The largely harmless omicron variant is absolutely unstoppable meaning that the more lethal delta variant has precious little time left to be a threat to anyone.The former, which I call the Variant of Freedom, disperses so rapidly that it makes delta look frozen in time. To the informed and educated mind, this is a glorious thing, indeed. But those blinded by fear and ignorance cannot see the marvelous miracle unfolding before our very eyes. The press has been loaded with doom-and-gloom stories about the omicron...

Muh shots!

The new “West Side Story” is, so far, a box-office flop. Steven Spielberg’s much-anticipated remake of the landmark 1961 musical received rave reviews and has been called a masterpiece. Yet its first weekend theatrical release yielded only $10.5 million, which Variety called “a dismal result for a movie of its scale and scope.” --- It’s not woke, it’s wonderful. “America,” that most American of songs, so knowing but not jaded, is done differently from the original but better, more communally, and it’s just as joyous and comic. The Journal’s Joe Morgenstern used exactly the right word to describe this movie:...

SNIP “He is extremely verbally and emotionally abusive,” a Goldbergs employee told Deadline. In his VF interview, Garlin dismissed accusations of being verbally offensive by saying that he is just being “silly” as part of his shtick as a comedian. He did note his penchant for dropping the word “vagina” on the set. According to a source on the show, a camera assistant made a complaint to her department head about Garlin’s use of the word. After the actor found out, he reportedly put his hands around her and kept saying “vagina” in her face over and over again. Overall,...

...At this point, we have little understanding of the universe of endemic and potentially emerging coronaviruses. Though coronaviruses are distributed globally, the most important betacoronavirus hot spots are in southeast Asia and contiguous areas of southern and southwestern China. Preliminary identification and sequencing of bat and other mammal-adapted coronaviruses from this region reveal rapid evolution and enormous viral complexity. Numerous bat species transmit sarbecoviruses (SARS-like viruses including SARS-CoV-2) to one another and to numerous mammals, including humans, at a high rate. Generation of new genomes through mixed infection and homologous genetic recombination leads to substantial coronaviral genetic diversity, analogous to...
