Sterling Mosely 1/16/24 Last Thursday, a group of Navy SEALs, one of America's most elite groups of soldiers, carried out a risky nighttime operation in the Gulf of Aden to intercept a vessel carrying missile parts from Iran to Yemen as Houthi rebels continued to bombard international shipping in the area. During the operation, however, two SEALs went "missing." According to U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), the operation was carried out amid rough seas, which led to one SEAL falling into the water. Following this, another member of the team, following military protocol, jumped in to save his fellow SEAL. The...

Last week, a federal appeals court overturned a Biden administration rule governing dishwashers. This week, the Supreme Court will hear a case involving the regulation of commercial fishing.Both are seemingly minor regulatory scuffles that normally would attract little public attention.But they could mark the beginning of the end of the bloated, unaccountable, extra-constitutional “administrative state” – which today imposes $2 trillion in costs on businesses and consumers and every day eats away at our freedom.The dishwasher story began during the previous administration when President Donald Trump pushed regulators to allow consumers to buy dishwashers that, well, wash dishes.As we noted...

A tried and true anti-human, Kerry is a depopulation activist who seeks to surrender America’s sovereignty to the ESG mafia. Kerry, the once-failed presidential candidate, became America’s first “Special Presidential Envoy for Climate” in 2021, on the day of President Biden’s inauguration. The “climate czar” has refused to disclose the names of his staff members, leading to concerns of possible collusion between Kerry’s office and radical “environmentalist” groups. A tried and true anti-human, Kerry is a depopulation activist who seeks to surrender America’s sovereignty to the ESG mafia. He has led the Biden Administration’s campaign to “transition” away from reliable...

The Biden administration’s status Obama presidential term three is confirmed by Biden’s appointment of enormous number of Obamaites. Barack Obama and his “Hope and Change” for America represented a political Trojan Horse phenomenon. Joe Biden was Obama’s choice for his vice president for eight years of his Trojan Horse presidency. Joe Biden’s presidency has been an Obama Trojan Horse II with less subtle, more blunt messages of political persuasion and policy formation. Obama, through clever political manipulation, presidential dictates, and eloquent speechmaking brought a seductive liberal, progressive, socialistic utopian vision to America. Obama used sophisticated Alinsky-style tactics to construct his...

Representative Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said Thursday on CNN’s “Inside Politics” that she believed the January 6, 2021 Capitol Hill riot was an assault on “personal freedoms” that former President Donald Trump must be held accountable for. When asked about President Joe Biden’s campaign ad highlighting the Capitol riot, Pelosi said, “I think it’s very important, but I think it also recognizes that democracy is a personal issue. Freedom to whether it is to have access to health care, when, if, and how to expand your family, freedom to be in the workplace in a very strong way because you have...

Jack Poso 🇺🇸 @JackPosobiec Biden announces national address on dangers of white supremacy on Jan 6 anniversary https://thepostmillennial.com/biden-to-stoke-fears-of-white-supremacy-domestic-extremism-in-speeches-on-j6-anniversary?utm_campaign=64483 10:26 AM · Jan 3, 2024

President Joe Biden said on New Year’s Eve his favorite memory of 2023 was the alleged improvement of the U.S. economy. Polling appears to show the economy did not improve under Biden’s leadership: WSJ: Only 23 percent of voters said Biden’s policies helped them. CNBC: A record high of 66 percent of Americans are “pessimistic” about the future of Biden’s economy. Lending Club: 62 percent of adults in December said they live paycheck to paycheck, up from 58 percent in March. “As you look back and reflect on 2023, what sort of memories, highlights, stand out for you?” New Year’s...

2023 was an unusually bad year for appliance regulations, and future years won’t be much better unless Congress finds a way to stop the nonsense. It all started last January when Richard Trumka Jr., a commissioner on the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), announced an investigation into the safety of natural gas stoves and boasted that a ban on them was "a real possibility." That sparked a powerful consumer backlash, followed up by strong denials from the Biden administration that any such ban was in the works. But CPSC has still gone ahead with its inquiry, and in February, team...

The Biden administration planned to keep the Chinese spy balloon that traveled across North America this year a secret from the public and even from Congress — and only came clean after civilians saw the massive white orb over Montana, according to a damning new report. “Before it was spotted publicly, there was the intention to study it and let it pass over and not ever tell anyone about it,” a former senior US official told NBC News Friday, nearly 11 months after the balloon penetrated American airspace and began a meandering week-long tour of sensitive military sites. When the...

On Friday’s broadcast of CNBC’s “Squawk on the Street,” White House National Economic Council Director Lael Brainard stated that 2023 is “a good year for the American worker, the American economy.” But it “takes a while” for people to feel that “given just how much Americans have been through, but I think it’s starting to really take shape” and that’s reflected in consumer sentiment data.

President Joe Biden is demoting critical border negotiations with Republicans to, instead, conduct emergency border negotiations with Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador. The diplomatic switch comes as Biden’s flood of several million illegal migrants is further damaging his 2024 poll ratings, and as GOP leaders are using their Senate clout to demand real border reforms. “Everything revolves around getting the Mexican government to do targeted operations” against the cartels’ migration business, one U.S. official told the Washington Post.

The presidential election is less than a year away, and economic issues are once again top of mind for voters around the country. Despite the economy’s rapid recovery from the pandemic, President Biden has struggled to convince Americans that his policies are improving their finances. In polls, the majority of Americans still say they trust former president Donald Trump’s handling of the economy over Biden’s. 1. Job gains The astoundingly strong labor market is arguably the White House’s biggest victory. 2. Unemployment rate Aside from a covid-fueled surge in much of 2020 and 2021, the national unemployment rate has remained...

Biden is lucky in that many portray him as a senile, dumb US Senator who happens to be President. Perhaps Biden is actually insidious allowing for open borders in the hopes of crashing the US economy by overloading the welfare system and driving national debt through the roof? To the extent that this was Biden’s mission, destruction of the US economy, he has been wildly successful. According to the Center For Immigration Studies, 59% of non-citizen-headed households receive welfare. The Cloward-Piven strategy is to overload the welfare system to the point of chaos, take control and implement Marxism through government...

A group of Republicans are looking to ban President Joe Biden’s administration from siphoning healthcare resources from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) away from military veterans to illegal aliens arriving at the United States-Mexico border. The legislation, first reported by Fox News Digital’s Jamie Joseph and Adam Shaw, comes as Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has been accused of siphoning VA healthcare resources from military veterans to illegal aliens. Last year, DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas seemingly confirmed to Rep. Ashley Hinson (R-IA) that the agency was looking at using VA healthcare resources at the border.

Biden, Slurring, Says Admin Is Securing "Contracts For New Covid Vaccines, Three New Covid Vaccines"

In the filings, jointly submitted by the federal government and eco groups... However, the filing failed to detail exactly what conditions were included in the secretive package ....

The Biden administration gave $86 million to a company accused of peddling counterfeit COVID test kits manufactured in China, according to records obtained by the Washington Free Beacon. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services announced the funding to CorDx, a COVID test kit manufacturer, in September. The deal will finance free testing products to American households and is intended to "bolster U.S. manufacturing."But records obtained by the Free Beacon raise questions about CorDx's testing kits and its domestic manufacturing capabilities. One of the company's competitors claimed CorDx sold knockoff kits stamped with a false brand name, in violation...

Michelle Obama can predict the future. Well, she can shape it anyway. Back in 2012, she stood before the assembled throng at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina, and said words that are still shaping elections a decade later. “Let’s be clear,” Michelle said, “elections aren’t just about who votes but who doesn’t vote.” Today, we finally understand what she meant. Here’s what happened: just a few weeks after Biden moved out of his basement and into the Oval Office, he was handed a piece of paper to sign – a paper that set in motion an extremely...

Kamala Harris attacked Israel over its conduct of the war with Hamas in Gaza in remarks made Saturday at the COP28 climate summit in Dubai, saying, “too many innocent Palestinians have been killed.” The criticism comes as the Biden administration is facing enormous political pressure by the Hamas wing of the Democratic Party with reports of Arab Muslims and progressives in swing states including Michigan saying they will not vote for Biden-Harris in the 2024 election because of the administration’s support for Israel. Biden went through a struggle session with Arab Muslims at the White House on October 26 in...

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken told Israel that it lacks “credit” to conduct the kind of military campaign necessary to defeat Hamas, saying that the Biden administration would not tolerate large-scale bombing over months in southern Gaza. Blinken’s remarks were leaked to the Israeli press. The Times of Israel quoted a transcript of his meeting with Israel’s war cabinet: Blinken: You can’t operate in southern Gaza in the way you did in the north. There are two million Palestinians there. You need to evacuate fewer people from their homes, be more accurate in the attacks, not hit UN facilities,...
