Karoline Leavitt: White House Press Secretary
B-Man replied to BillsFanNC's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Perhaps your earlier 'concern' was misplaced. During the Biden era, 442 reporters lost their “hard pass” to cover the White House. In 2021, the number of reporters with access to the White House dropped by 31%. The Biden White House made new rules revoking passes for journalists who don’t “act in a professional manner.” If you’re wondering what the White House Correspondents’ Association did to assist these reporters, the answer is nada. -

As a reminder, the AP still has full access to the White House and is not having its First Amendment rights trod on in any way. Unlike with what the Biden White House did, stripping away the passes of 442 reporters back in August of 2023, a move about which the WCHA had nothing to say at the time. In stripping the WHCA of the power to decide which media outlets get included in the press pool, the Trump White House is sending a clear message: the days of media elites controlling access and influencing are over. Deal with it. https://redstate.com/terichristoph/2025/02/25/trump-white-house-neuters-whca-n2186001 -
Democrats Continue to Not Get It, Poll Says 75 Percent Think Biden Migrant Invasion Was an 'Accident' By Becky Noble Democrats are still numb and in shock over President Donald Trump's overwhelming victory in November, and Republicans are not shy about admitting that they are having a ton of fun watching them flail about. You don't have to look far to find a liberal talking head on television who is still completely clueless as to why Democrats lost in such a grandiose fashion. However, a new poll shows the obvious: it is not just the usual suspects in Washington, D.C., who refuse to do any kind of self-reflection, it is the people who elected them as well. A New Harvard-Harris poll taken between February 19-20 of 2,443 registered voters shows that a whopping 75 percent of Democrats say they do not believe that Joe Biden and his hapless administration threw the doors of the United States wide open for millions of illegal immigrants to pour into the nation deliberately. The poll asked this question: "Do you think Democrats deliberately kept the southern border open to bring millions of immigrants into the country illegally, or was that not their deliberate policy?" Of those polled, 80 percent of Republicans believe the opposite, that Biden administration immigration policies were very deliberate. Despite rank-and-file Democrats' assertion that Biden administration immigration policies were not deliberate, there is plenty of evidence that might say otherwise. Programs like "Parole" and "Welcome Corps at Work," along with billions of taxpayer dollars, often at the expense of actual American citizens, were nothing more than a wink and a nod at illegal immigrants to come on in. https://redstate.com/beckynoble/2025/02/25/democrats-continue-to-not-get-it-poll-says-75-percent-think-biden-migrant-invasion-was-an-accident-n2185997

The Gaza Ceasefire Ends Saturday. Will the War Resume? John Sexton In order to appreciate where we are right now with the Gaza ceasefire, you have to compare it to what was supposed to happen. The idea was to create a 6-week ceasefire, known as phase one, during which Hamas would hand over Israeli hostages, often 3-4 at a time, and Israel would respond to by freeing Palestinian prisoners, often hundreds at a time. And while this temporary truce was in place Israel and Hamas would discuss plans for phase two in which a) all the remaining hostages would be released and b) the war would finally end with some plan for the future of Gaza having been reached. So here we are just days away from the deadline that will mark the end of phase one and things are not going as planned. In Israel, people have rejoiced every time hostages are released. The whole thing is televised in real time, but Hamas has turned the releases into a sad spectacle where the hostages are paraded through a small army of Hamas fighters and forced to sign documents and wave to the cameras as if they are cheerfully saying goodbye to their captors. All of these people were kidnapped, many have lost family members to Hamas violence and they've been held captive for more than a year, often starved and forced to work like servants in the households where they stayed. None of them feel like waving fond goodbyes to their captors but Hamas is determined to put on a show. And then you had the handover of Shiri Bibas and her two children last Thursday. This family in particular has really impacted a lot of Israelis because the children were so young (4 years and 9 months) and because video of them being abducted showed the tremendous fear on the face of their mother. {snip} So what will happen next? Most likely the US will intervene and try to extend the ceasefire to allow for a few more exchanges of hostages/prisoners. There is probably a limit on this process however as there are only about 60 hostages left. Hamas won't be willing to release them all because then they would have no leverage left to prevent Israel from resuming the war. At this point it's hard to see how the ceasefire can last long term unless Islamic states demand an end to Hamas. https://hotair.com/john-s-2/2025/02/25/the-gaza-ceasefire-ends-saturday-will-the-war-resume-n3800179
