However much you dislike the media, it isn't enough ! GREAT MOMENTS IN OBITUARIES: Legendary singer/songwriter, who faced widespread backlash for supporting Trump, dies at 74. Screencap here if NJ.com comes to their senses over the late Eric Carmen: https://www.nj.com/news/2024/03/trump-supporting-singer-songwriter-dies.html I missed the obit headlines that read “Frank Sinatra, legendary singer and actor, who faced widespread backlash for supporting Reagan, dies at 82.” Or heck, based on the rumors that later circulated around him, “John Lennon, legendary singer/songwriter, who faced widespread backlash for supporting Reagan, dead at 40.” https://instapundit.com/636597/

Reminder:

Biden’s Gaza Floating Port Plan Generating Concern Among Military Professionals “I don’t know a single maritime professional who thinks this is a good idea given the location and conditions ashore, but orders are orders.” During President Biden’s State of the Union address, the President stated that he was directing the military to set up a temporary pier in Gaza that would enable supply of humanitarian aid the the Palestinians. https://legalinsurrection.com/2024/03/bidens-gaza-floating-port-plan-generating-concern-among-military-professionals/ .

Pentagon Giving Ukraine $300 Million Without New Congressional Approval Back in December, the Pentagon announced that they had burned through all of the money designated to supply military aid to Ukraine, so future shipments would have to wait until Congress appropriated more funds. That hasn't happened because the House GOP is insisting that Joe Biden fix our borders before we blow even more cash on those of another country. Now, it would appear that Biden's patience is exhausted because the Pentagon is shipping another $300 million worth of weapons to Ukraine anyway. How are they doing that? They claim to have mysteriously "found some cost savings" in their contracts. But in reality, they've already spent $10 billion more than they were supposed to on Ukraine. So much for oversight, I suppose. (Associated Press) https://hotair.com/jazz-shaw/2024/03/13/pentagon-giving-ukraine-300-million-without-new-congressional-approval-n3784597

Panic Time for Democrats As Joe Biden Gets No Bump From Terrible State of the Union Speech The disconnect between the press and average Americans was laid bare following Joe Biden's angry and divisive State of the Union speech in early March. As reported, the president appeared to be hopped up on stimulants as he shouted his way through the first half-hour of his remarks. That he decided to focus on Ukraine and January 6th before any of the actual things most Americans are concerned about didn't help his performance either. You may want to sit down for this, but apparently, normal people do not share the opinions of wine-sipping elites who never have to worry about their grocery bill or how they are going to pay their mortgage. The numbers are in on Biden's triumphant State of the Union speech, and it's panic time for Democrats. There are a lot of lessons to be learned here, none of which Democrats will take to heart, with the most obvious being that results matter more than rhetoric. That's not always true, but when things get bad enough, it becomes an undeniable fact of political life. By the numbers, most Americans do not "like" Donald Trump, but that doesn't matter when they care far more about how much money is in their bank account and whether the border crisis is going to continue to spill over into their communities. https://redstate.com/bonchie/2024/03/13/panic-time-for-democrats-as-joe-biden-gets-no-bump-from-terrible-state-of-the-union-speech-n2171315

TO HELL WITH BIDEN, IT’S A PROBLEM FOR ME: The Inflation Issue Isn’t Going Away, and That’s a Problem for Biden. On Tuesday, the White House went into full gaslighting mode with some bizarre claims about inflation. "Inflation is down two-thirds, and we have the lowest annual core inflation since May 2021," White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre claimed during the White House press briefing. "Prices fell over the last year for gas milk, eggs, chicken, appliances, and also used cars. Well, that's news to pretty much everyone outside of the White House. On the same day that Jean-Pierre made this claim, the federal government reported that consumer prices went up again in February. CBS News aptly observed that "inflation remains a persistent thorn in the side of the Federal Reserve and for President Joe Biden's re-election campaign." According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, in February, prices experienced a 0.4% increase, marking a slight uptick from the previous month's 0.3%. The government's report on Tuesday revealed that, compared to the same period 12 months ago, consumer prices surged by 3.2% last month, surpassing January's annual pace of 3.1%. https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2024/03/12/the-inflation-issue-isnt-going-away-and-thats-a-problem-for-biden-n4927250 .

The Lies of the J6 Committee Are Adding Up. Newly-released transcripts of secret testimony at the January 6 Committee show that a witness testified then-President Donald Trump had not wrestled with a Secret Service agent, and had indeed requested troops to protect the Capitol. The transcript of a closed-door interview with Deputy Chief of Staff Anthony Ornato and then-Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) on January 28, 2022, was hidden by the committee, as it played up sensational claims that the testimony refuted. In particular, Cheney boosted the accusations by former Trump aide Cassidy Hutchinson, who claimed publicly — and to great media fanfare — that Trump had tried to commandeer his presidential vehicle to drive to the Capitol riot. As noted at the time of Hutchinson’s dramatic testimony in June 2022, several people — including Ornato — were prepared to testify publicly to refute her claims (which were debunked in other ways as well). https://hotair.com/headlines/2024/03/13/the-lies-of-the-j6-committee-are-adding-up-n3784551 .

Idiots. PETA Pressures Jill Biden to Switch Eggs for Potatoes at Annual White House Easter Egg Roll by Anthony Scott People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) is pressuring Jill Biden to forego eggs this Easter but instead use potatoes for the White House’s annual Easter Egg Roll event. In a statement, PETA wrote, “Ahead of the annual White House Easter Egg Roll, PETA sent a letter to Dr. Jill Biden today asking the first lady to modernize the celebration by replacing eggs with dyed Easter potatoes.” “Children love animals and would be sad to learn that the eggs used for fun and games at the White House come from tormented hens https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/03/peta-pressures-jill-biden-switch-eggs-potatoes-annual/

Democrats Are Seething After Robert Hur's Testimony, and the Highlights Are Brutal for Joe Biden Congressional testimonies often don't live up to the hype, but Robert Hur's trip to Capitol Hill on Tuesday was everything Republicans were hoping it would be. The now-former special counsel was in charge of investigating Joe Biden's theft and mishandling of classified documents, some of which were found unsecured in his garage. That led to a report from Hur that was lambasted by Democrats for supposedly overstepping its bounds. What was the issue? It included ample evidence of the current president's senility, including significant memory loss. https://redstate.com/bonchie/2024/03/12/democrats-are-seething-after-robert-hurs-testimony-here-are-the-highlights-n2171295 .

Biden and Trump clinch nominations, setting the stage for a grueling general election rematch Associated Press News, by Steve Peoples President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump clinched their parties’ presidential nominations Tuesday with decisive victories in a slate of low-profile primaries, setting up a general election rematch that many voters do not want. The outcome of contests across Georgia, Mississippi and Washington state was never in doubt. Neither Biden, a Democrat, nor Trump, a Republican, faced major opposition. But the magnitude of their wins gave each man the delegate majority he needed to claim his party’s nomination at the summertime national conventions. Not even halfway through the presidential primary calendar, Tuesday marked a crystalizing moment for a nation uneasy with its choices in 2024. https://apnews.com/article/trump-biden-primary-georgia-washington-mississippi-hawaii-15bb0084ad656903ffef14cfae822abd?

Rand Paul: Proposed TikTok ban ‘makes no sense’ BY SARAH FORTINSKY https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/4527989-rand-paul-proposed-tiktok-ban-makes-no-sense/

.

Concern over the China controlled TikTok is correct. However, what Congress is pulling is NOT the way to go. . . . . . . . . . . it's not even a ban really. Here’s what’s actually going on with the TikTok fight right now. Deep State toadies are taking advantage of anti-China sentiment to transfer TikTok’s surveillance apparatus from China’s evil surveillance state to the U.S. government’s evil surveillance state. TikTok isn’t going to be banned, because neither the CCP-run Chinese government nor the CCP-owned U.S. government wants to lose such a valuable tool for spying on Americans and poisoning the minds of their children. Instead, the corrupt U.S. intelligence bureaucracy wants control of TikTok, which is why it included the divestment mandate. Only a handful of U.S. companies are capable of buying and managing TikTok, and they already function as appendages of the Deep State surveillance apparatus. It’s not that the U.S. government wants to protect you from spying and data theft and manipulation. If only. No, the people behind the Russian collusion hoax, and the Kavanaugh hoax, and the natural origin COVID hoax, and the illegal warrantless spying, and the forced transing of your children —they want to be the ones spying on you and stealing your data and poisoning the minds of your children.

HarrisX/Forbes Poll: SOTU Didn't Help Biden, and Currently Is Losing DAVID STROM President Biden's State of the Union address was portrayed as a great opportunity for Biden to address the concerns the American public has about his competence and mental capacity to be president. Despite absolutely glowing media reviews, the speech has helped Biden's electoral prospects as much as Madame Web has helped Sony Pictures' bottom line. https://hotair.com/david-strom/2024/03/12/harvardharris-sotu-didnt-help-biden-and-currently-is-losing-n3784545
