After weeks of whining, the White House press corps got its first official Biden presidential news conference on Thursday.... Asked how “hard” he would work for his policy goals, he responded that “all my focus” so far has been on covid-19 and the economic recovery, but he promised he would get to other issues such as guns, immigration, climate change and voting rights. On immigration, he made clear that crowded facilities at the southern border are not the result of a policy change from his administration... “It happens every single solitary year,” Biden noted. In his lengthy responses to questions...

Twenty-one men have come forward to accuse longtime Republican strategist John Weaver of sexually harassing them online. The New York Times outlined interviews with those 21 accusers - many who were not named - in an article published Sunday. It came two weeks after Weaver publicly admitted to sending inappropriate messages to men and stepped down from the Lincoln Project, an anti-Trump super PAC he co-founded. The accusers described how Weaver, 61, groomed and preyed on them for years with unsolicited promises to help them get work in politics in exchange for sex. 'Help you other times. Give advice, counsel,...

Does the left fear a 2024 run by President Trump? Looks that way, judging from this morning's AM Joy show on MSNBC, guest-hosted by Maria Teresa Kumar. The show devoted a segment to the possibility of Trump 2024. And in a pre-emptive strike on a possible run, the panel pleaded that the media shouldn't cover Trump, and that supporters shouldn't contribute to him.The segment began with a clip of Kamala Harris cackling past the graveyard, replying "oh, please" to a reporter's question as to whether she believes Biden-Harris could defeat Trump were he to run again. That segued into the...

I never thought that my adopted home, the land of the free, would so soon start sounding like the one-party dictatorial state I left behind.The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is reportedly in the process of creating a global blacklist of critics who have supported or funded the freedom and democracy movement in Hong Kong and Taiwan. The list specifically targets those who reside outside mainland China. The scale of the project might be massive because, in Taiwan alone, at least 6 million people support Taiwan’s independence, which is a punishable crime in the eyes of the CCP. The Global Times,...

I have to be careful in writing this column, not because I might say something I don’t mean, but because I might say exactly what I mean and the editors will cut it because it’s…well, let’s just say “not quite family friendly.” In “Groundhog Day,” Bill Murray tells Phil the groundhog “Don’t drive angry.” Writing angry is fine, but writing disgusted is something different. So, if you pick up on any subliminal messages in this piece, they are by accident (mostly). Whatever ends up happening with the challenges in the election (the media called it for Biden and in between...

Far-left Slate joined the Democrats’ and media’s growing calls for recrimination against Trump supporters with an editorial demanding Senior White House adviser Stephen Miller be imprisoned: But [Stephen Miller’s] also a man. And like all men who commit crimes against humanity, he should be imprisoned by the society he wounded, forever prevented from spreading his pestilence and fear. In a just world, this reckoning would happen right on Jan. 21. This is just the latest in a growing call from the media and establishment left to criminalize politics, blacklist Trump supporters, and ruin people personally. On Friday, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez...

Source: Twitter/ScreenshotOn MSNBC, a large panel seemingly agreed with Jennifer Rubin's calls for the burning down of the Republican Party and the elimination of all survivors. Is this the "dark winter" Biden warned us about?  Deranged Trump-hater Jennifer Rubin repeated her calls for retribution of Trump supporters on MSNBC's "AM Joy" on Saturday."It's not only that Trump has to lose, but that all his enablers have to lose," Rubin threatened. "We have to collectively in essence burn down the Republican Party. We have to level them because if there are survivors, if there are people who weather this storm, they...

Jennifer 'Count Every Vote' Rubin @JRubinBlogger Any R now promoting rejection of an election or calling to not to follow the will of voters or making baseless allegations of fraud should never serve in office, join a corporate board, find a faculty position or be accepted into "polite" society. We have a list. And she’s not alone in keeping a list. My colleague Stacey Lennox points me to this AOC tweet followed by a blue checkmark named Michael Simon, who’s starting an entire project to keep track of people who deigned to become Trump supporters. They’re finished. Simon is a...

In response to Republican concerns over voter fraud and election irregularities, Democrats are attempting to intimidate and threaten Republicans who back the president's pursuit of a fair election. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), apparently undeterred by the loss of several of her Democratic House colleagues, is calling on her cancel-culture goons to maintain a running list of "Trump sycophants" who she believes will "deny their complicity in the future." Is anyone archiving these Trump sycophants for when they try to downplay or deny their complicity in the future? I foresee decent probability of many deleted Tweets, writings, photos in the future...

Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin was roasted on social media for calling Amy Coney Barret “clueless” and labeling the Supreme Court confirmation hearing a “festival of White Privilege.” Rubin, a White former conservative who is an outspoken critic of President Trump, penned her latest column headlined, “Barrett seeks refuge in ignorance and evasion.” The piece labeled highly intellectual Barrett as “clueless” because of her avoidance of making statements based on simply her moral principles. “Either she has lived her life in a soulless vacuum, or she is terribly afraid of offending President Trump,” Rubin wrote.

Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin blasted the medical team at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center Monday, going as far as calling for the "defunding" of the hospital after President Trump announced he would return to the White House that evening. Trump tweeted Monday afternoon: "I will be leaving the great Walter Reed Medical Center today at 6:30 P.M. Feeling really good! Don’t be afraid of Covid. Don’t let it dominate your life. We have developed, under the Trump Administration, some really great drugs & knowledge. I feel better than I did 20 years ago!"

Washington D.C. has always been a club, with decorum and strict membership rules. Most of us are not in this club and would have no desire to join if offered membership based on our morals, ethics, and a desire to look at ourselves in the mirror every day without being disgusted. George Carlin said it best, “It’s a big club, and you ain’t in it.” The club goes by many names – deep state, swamp, uniparty – and the club charter is quite clear, outlined ironically by someone not in the club, blackballed by the membership committee. President Trump, before...

In what is probably the least surprising announcement of the 21st century, Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin who has been flying the false flag of "conservative" for a long time has finally revealed the very obvious by writing in her Thursday Washington Post column that she has removed the "conservative" tag from her Twitter profile. She attempted to explain what we already knew in "Why I dropped ‘conservative’ from my Twitter profile."

There is great confusion in the GOP ranks and the media about the likelihood of a third candidate running. Multiple sources confirm there are several groups with access to funding, in communication with one another, working on a third-party run. It is not, as commonly argued, all that difficult to get on ballots in most every state. “The process is complex but not hard,” says longtime GOP operative Rick Wilson, who is involved in such efforts. “All the steps are explicable, and the lawyers know how to get it home. Even in ballot access states due in May, there are...

s their preferred candidate crashes in national polls and the race tightens to a dead heat in Joe Biden’s must-win states, NeverTrump “conservatives” are once again taking their marching orders from Democrats. The death, destruction, and mayhem besieging Democratic-run cities across the country, NeverTrump dutifully recites, is all Donald Trump’s fault. Team Biden crafted the inane talking points to deflect concerns that the violence in cities such as Portland and Kenosha rapidly was backfiring on Democrats; scenes of angry mobs attacking Trump supporters, including Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and his wife, leaving the White House late Thursday night after the...

Washington Post opinion writer Jennifer Rubin said the Republican Party under President Donald Trump’s leadership had become the party “of white vigilanteism of white supremacy,” on Monday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “The Reidout.” Rubin said, “Today Joe Biden walked out there confidently, and he slammed Donald Trump for being the cause of mayhem, the cause of violence, the cause of unnecessary deaths from COVID. He did exactly what he’s supposed to do, which is to hold Trump accountable and say, you’re the president, this isn’t about a Biden America, this is Trump America right now. What’s more, he dared Trump to...

'You need a psychiatrist,' one Twitter user responded to Rubin Washington Post "conservative opinion writer" Jennifer Rubin claimed Thursday she was so moved by this year's Democratic National Convention that she cried more than dozen times during the four-night event. Joe Biden wrapped up the convention Thursday night by officially accepting the Democratic Party's nomination in a well-received speech. His remarks followed impassioned speeches from former President Barack Obama, former first lady Michelle Obama, Biden's wife Jill, and vice presidential candidate Kamala Harris among others.

In her latest op-ed, published Monday, Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin questioned the necessity of the Republican Party. In the column -- headlined "Do we even need the Republican Party?" -- Rubin made the case that President Trump has sealed the GOP's fate after "years of racism and xenophobia" as a minority dependent on "White grievance and cultural resentment." "The unpleasant truth for those expected to say 'there are fine people' in both parties is that, aside from a few stray governors and Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah), there really are not fine people running the Republican Party," she wrote. "They...

President Trump has taken to tweeting “LAW & ORDER!” — no doubt a reflection of his aides’ advice that law and order has been a strong card for Republicans (although they might have imagined some messaging less hysterical than “LAW & ORDER!”). Trump bangs that drum loudly, insisting that a radical mob is roaming the country, coming not just for statues but also for your house and children. It is an issue that he certainly wants to highlight, but for a number of reasons, he very likely is helping Democrats to claim the issue of public order and domestic tranquility....

They sound like Leftists. They act like Leftists. And now we learn that the Never-Trumper group called “The Lincoln Project” is funded by a Leftist billionaire, according to a new book on the subject. And a collective “Oh, it all makes sense to me now!” just spread over the land. The project features, among others, GOP political strategists Rick Wilson, Steve Schmidt, the Washington Post’s “conservative” columnist Jennifer Rubin, former “Weekly Standard” editor Bill Kristol, and disgruntled attorney, George “Mr. Kellyanne” Conway, who spends nearly all of his time trying to ruin his wife’s White House career. Judging by their...
