Shortly after the Presidential election, the Trump campaign claimed that electing Joe Biden would quickly put Kamala Harris in charge of the country. These allegations gain even more attraction as Joe Biden called his vice president, Kamala Harris, “President Harris” on more than one occasion. Biden, 77, frequently stumbles over his words and many left wondering about the health of the current President. Joe Biden, while eager to dispel any notion that he’ll be a lame duck, has insisted repeatedly that Harris need not wait for power. As a former vice president who believes in a robust role for the...

“I’m not familiar with that claim. It doesn’t sound like it’s backed up by a lot of evidence. If you have evidence or specifics, I’m happy to discuss it further,” Psaki said at her daily press briefing in response to a question from The Post.

The mainstream media goons who shrieked and moaned about a “free press” during the Trump administration are pretty mum after the Biden admin announced that they will be charging reporters for their COVID tests every time they enter the building. Without taking the $170 test, reporters will not be allowed to enter the building to go to press briefings. The Washington Post reported on Friday that the White House is seeking to put the new charges in place on Monday. Charges this high would make it much harder for smaller and independent outlets to get into the briefings, which would...

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki defending Joe Biden's migrant facility near the U.S. Mexico border by claiming they weren't “ripping kids from the arms of their parents. "During an interview on ABC’s “The View," co-host Meghan McCain asked:

White House press secretary Jen Psaki defended the decision by President Joe Biden’s administration to reopen a detention center for migrant children on Monday. More than 200 migrant teenagers on Monday were sent to a reopened facility in Carrizo Springs, Texas, according to CBS News, with plans to expand the number of detained children to 700 in facilities across the country.

President Biden moved the goalposts Tuesday night about his administration’s goal for reopening schools and in the process threw his press secretary, Jen Psaki, under the bus. The administration’s original goal was to have a majority of schools open at least one day per week, according to Psaki. Much like Biden’s vaccination goal, it was criticized as setting too low a bar as many school districts had already opened before Biden took office and more were in the process of opening by the time he was sworn in. On Tuesday at a town hall, Biden told moderator Anderson Cooper that...

White House press secretary Jen Psaki avoided responding to questions about whether President Biden still believed Gov. Andrew Cuomo is the “gold standard” in leadership during the coronavirus pandemic.” Jonathan Karl said, “ Andrew Cuomo under fire for allegedly not being transparent and misleading on the number of nursing home deaths in New York. Last spring, President Biden cited Andrew Cuomo as the gold standard for leadership during the pandemic. Take a listen.” In a video clip Biden said, “Your governor of New York has done one hell of a job. I think he’s sort of the gold standard.” Karl...

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki on Wednesday said coal and natural gas – NOT frozen wind turbines – caused the power grid failure in this week’s Texas cold snap. Texas got hit with a rare cold snap that spanned to the southern part of the state and the power grids gave out. .... Snip.... Millions of Texans suffered blackouts partly due to the frozen wind turbines. Psaki said reports suggesting renewables caused the power grid failure in Texas are inaccurate, rather it was renewables that came in to save the day. “Numerous reports show that it was failure in...

REPORTER: “There are several reports of migrants crossing the border and several local Texas health officials have expressed concerns that there are migrants coming over the border who are not — who have not been tested by the — by the authorities.” PSAKI: “Well, let me reiterate what I — what I’ve done in here, and I know different people are in here different days, so I’m certainly happy to do it again. You know, first, the majority of people who come to the border are turned away and we are enforcing our laws at the border, but we are...

... “Can you please just give us a broad sense of what the administration is trying to achieve in the Middle East?” a reporter asked — in follow-up to an earlier question asking why President Biden has yet to call Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. “For example,” the reporter asked, “does the administration still consider the Saudis and the Israelis important allies? Rather than saying simply, “Yes,” Psaki gave this answer, according to a White House transcript of the late-afternoon briefing. “Well, you know, again, I think we — there are ongoing processes and internal interagency processes — one that...

She reminds me of her for some reason.

Chris mentioned this today. The resemblance is astonishing! LOL

One arena of US executive power that the media establishment is glad to have return to its pre-Trump mode is White House press relations, embodied in Joe Biden press secretary Jen Psaki. Former President Donald Trump’s press secretaries, like Sean Spicer with his iffy Holocaust history (Vox, 4/11/17) and mendacious Kayleigh McEnany (Vanity Fair, 1/26/21), turned any given White House press conference into a Terry Gilliam fever dream. Any spokesperson for the new administration might seem like a bit of fresh air after such lunacy. But let’s be cautious. There has certainly been corporate media fanfare over what journalists...

During a press conference on Tuesday, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki stated that President Joe Biden’s goal for re-opening schools is to have more than 50% of schools teaching in class “at least one day a week” by the 100th day of his presidency.

On Jan. 21, President Biden's first full day in office, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki began her briefing with this: "When the president asked me to serve in this role, we talked about the importance of bringing truth and transparency back to the briefing room." Now, the administration's position on opening schools shut by COVID lockdowns is testing that pledge. Psaki's problem started on Feb. 3, when the White House COVID Response Team held a teleconference for the press. Among the group was Dr. Rochelle Walensky, the president's new choice to head the Centers for Disease Control. A reporter...

White House press secretary Jen Psaki defended Tuesday President Joe Biden’s executive order that opens up women’s sports to men who say they are transgender. “The president’s belief is that trans rights are human rights, and that’s why he signed that executive order,” Psaki said when asked by a reporter to react to the issue in regard to competing in high school and college sports for scholarships.

During a press conference on Wednesday, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki responded to CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky’s comments earlier in the day that teachers do not need to be vaccinated in order for schools to safely reopen by stating that the CDC hasn’t “released their official guidance” on “what would be needed to ensure the safe reopening of school

Joe Biden is officially breaking his promise to provide all Americans with a $2,000 direct stimulus check. Instead, Biden and Democrats in Congress plan to ram through a bill for a $1,400 stimulus check, claiming that the $600 provided by Republicans under the Trump administration was a “down payment” for the total of $2,000. “The president also had the opportunity to meet in the Oval Office just a few minutes ago to meet with [Senate Majority] Leader Schumer and the Democratic chairs of the Senate committee with jurisdiction over the American rescue program,” said Biden White House Press Secretary Jen...

Before her current role as White House Press Secretary for the Biden administration, Jen Psaki was a paid contributor for CNN. Her prior experience as communications director under the Obama administration led to valuable insights into the messaging strategies and tactics under then-President Donald Trump. But some of Psaki’s partisan comments are coming back to haunt her, particularly one that is fairly viewed as homophobic. At issue? The derisive and mocking term “Lady G,” which has been used by some progressives to mock Senator Lindsey Graham, who went from being a vocal critic of President Trump to one of his...
