This is testimony to decline of American influence worldwide, and a Saudi recognition that Biden’s handlers have clearly made a decision to support Iran over Saudi Arabia. Saudi Crown Prince: ‘I do not care’ what Biden thinks MAR 9, 2022 5:00 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER 11 COMMENTS This is testimony to decline of American influence worldwide, and a Saudi recognition that Biden’s handlers have clearly made a decision to support Iran over Saudi Arabia. “Saudi crown prince says ‘do [sic] not care’ if Biden misunderstands him – The Atlantic,” Reuters, March 3, 2022: DUBAI (Reuters) – Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed...

Oh boy, Lara Logan appeared for an interview with Tucker Carlson [Full Article Here] and shouts a big trumpet. In essence Ms. Logan points out the current situation in Afghanistan is exactly the outcome those controlling the Biden administration want. There is a benefit to someone or some group in the current outcome; because if there wasn’t, the outcome would be different. I happen to agree with this perspective because there are so many options that could have been taken before this point in the crisis was reached. We have seen this play out before [Bathtub Principle] where a crisis...

His habit of saying that he is “in trouble” when he screws things up in public raises an awkward question: who's pulling his strings? The speech President Biden gave to a couple hundred solons acting as a “joint session of Congress” apparently sapped his energy enough to cause some embarrassing moments for the man playing the part of Leader of the Free World… for the next two days. Commemorating the fiftieth anniversary of Amtrak yesterday, he lapsed into an incoherent word salad, unable to complete a sentence or stay on the same topic. A jumble of thoughts, none of the...

Lawmakers from both parties have called for John Lausch to keep his job President Joe Biden is forcing Chicago's top federal prosecutor to resign amid ongoing criminal probes of powerful Illinois Democrats and their associates. U.S. attorney John Lausch is prosecuting close confidants of Democrat boss Mike Madigan, an ally of former president Barack Obama who resigned from the state legislature Thursday after a decades-long reign in Springfield. Lausch's office will also prosecute Chicago alderman Edward Burke (D.), an influential figure accused of strong-arming businesses into retaining his law firm. Lausch's abrupt removal has drawn bipartisan criticism from Illinois lawmakers...

The US government has appealed a UK judge’s ruling against the extradition of the WikiLeaks co-founder Julian Assange, according to a justice department official. The appeal made clear that Joe Biden intends to have Assange stand trial on espionage- and hacking-related charges over WikiLeaks’ publication of hundreds of thousands of US military and diplomatic documents.The justice department had until Friday to file an appeal against the ruling on 4 January that Assange suffered mental health problems that would raise the risk of suicide were he extradited to the US for trial.“Yes, we filed an appeal and we are continuing to...

The Trump administration attempted to enact a policy that would force American universities to reveal cooperation with chapters of the Confucius Institute. President Joe Biden quietly revoked the policy a few days after his inauguration. Axios reported that in the final days of his presidency, Trump enacted a policy that would compel primary, secondary, and postsecondary institutions to disclose all contracts and transactions with the Confucius Institute. Under the policy, schools that do not report information would lose certification for the Student and Exchange Visitor Program. Records from the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs revealed that Biden nixed the...

ERBIL - A convoy of the US-led Coalition forces on Saturday entered Syria and headed to its bases in northeast of the country, a monitor revealed. Citing its local activists, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that nearly 50 military vehicles and trucks carrying military and logistical equipment, entered Syria through the border crossing of al-Walid. The convoy was relocated from the Kurdistan Region, SOHR noted, adding that it "headed to the bases of the International Coalition in the countryside of Hasakah." According to the Britain-based monitoring group, "this is the ninth Coalition convoy to enter Syria since the...

Digressions. Mix-ups. Mistakes. Joseph R. Biden Jr. has a choppy speaking style that could undermine his message at a time when he needs to stand strong for our country. After Marine One landed at the White House at 9:39 a.m., Biden took a single question on impeachment before walking into the residence side of the White House. When a reporter asked if former President Trump should lose his political rights, the confused Biden seems to answer a totally different question. Biden responded: “He got an offer to come and testify. He decided not to. We’ll let the Senate work that...

Lots of articles posted here on FR make reference to Biden's "handlers." Yet I haven't read an article identifying these folks. Any ideas? ID them by name if you can.

WASHINGTON - President Biden’s push to increase the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour would cost more than 1.5 million jobs and drive up the cost of goods and services, the US Congressional Budget Office projected Monday. The nonpartisan federal agency also found that the “Raise the Wage Act” would see the federal deficit balloon to a whopping $54 billion — almost double what is now — if enacted next month. The report found Biden’s plan would have mixed results. The federal boost would lift 900,000 Americans out of poverty but would cut employment by 1.4 million. “Spending for...

President Joe Biden on Thursday ended US support for Saudi Arabia's devastating war in Yemen and dramatically increased the welcome to refugees, ushering in a major reset in American foreign policy. In his first major speech on foreign affairs as president, Biden also froze former president Donald Trump's plans to redeploy troops from Germany and vowed a tough approach against what he described as a rising authoritarian threat from China and Russia.

They spend two hours discussing differences, but vow to keep discussion moving forward. After a longer-than-expected two-hour meeting Monday with President Joe Biden, Sen. Mitt Romney said the president “has genuine interest in working with” Republicans to close a gap on their competing proposals for a pandemic aid package. “It was not just a check-the-box meeting,” Romney said in a call with Utah reporters. “We had a full airing of our different points of view and a direction by the president to continue our discussions.” Biden is pushing for a $1.9 trillion package, while a group of 10 centrist Republicans...

WASHINGTON - Less than two weeks in office, President Joe Biden is facing two critical tests of whether the deadly riot at the U.S. Capitol has damaged America’s standing as a beacon for democracy. Protests in Russia and a military coup in Myanmar come as American credibility on the world stage has plummeted after last month’s storming of the Capitol by a pro-Donald Trump mob looking to stop the certification of Biden’s election victory. That adds to the weight on Biden as he seeks to fulfill a campaign pledge to dramatically reposition the U.S. as a global leader following four...

Melissa Hodgman Named Acting Director of Enforcement at the SEC President Joe Biden’s Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced it hired Melissa Hodgman to lead the agency as its acting director of the Division of Enforcement. “Melissa’s dedication to investor protection, broad experience in the Division, and proven track record of collaboration and creative problem solving make her ideally suited to this role,” SEC Acting Chair Allison Herren Lee celebrated in a statement. “As Associate Director, Melissa has overseen a wide range of complex and programmatically important matters, and has been a leading voice in the Division on critical issues...

The Biden admin's executive actions in the last 48 hours are attacking farms and implementing the technocratic takeover of food, accelerating a global collapse in food production by paying farmers NOT to grow food, cutting their financial support, tasking Tom Vilsack's USDA with a Net-Zero goal, changing COVID guidance on grocery stores, restaurants, and meatpacking plants. Meanwhile, the media is finally acknowledging the soybean shortage, and the US is now also experiencing a fertilizer shortage, which will further increase costs and cause yields will collapse. As other countries stop exporting to protect domestic supplies, the US has been wholly sold...

Joe Biden, a self-described dictator, has issued at least 22 Executive Orders and has yet to really do anything positive for the American people. He's considering allocating COVID 19 funds for "climate change"He's reinstating taxpayer funding of abortion for the US and in foreign nations.He's going full blown Communism with "equity"He's imposed a xenophobic travel banHe destroyed women's sports and rights These are all wrong, but this one is pure lunacy. The left is always telling us to "follow the science." The science is that biologic males are bigger, stronger and faster than biologic females. Biologic males are XY, biologic...

The Biden administration is moving forward with a plan to replace Andrew Jackson on the front of the $20 bill with an image of Harriet Tubman. The decision to use Tubman’s likeness was initially made by the Obama administration in 2016, but had been delayed by former Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin under President Trump. White House press secretary Jen Psaki announced the Treasury Department would engage in the necessary steps to place Tubman on the currency, removing Jackson from the front of the note where he has appeared since 1928. “The Treasury Department is taking steps to resume efforts to...
