Meanwhile White House senior deputy press secretary Andrew Bates is getting some much needed help from new hire Tyler Cherry who was communications director for Deb Haaland at Interior

 

 I'm sure Joe knows all about this guy lol:

"Praying for #Baltimore, but praying even harder for an end to a capitalistic police state motivated by explicit and implicit racial biases," Cherry posted in 2015 amid riots that were sparked following the death of Freddie Gray, a Black man, in police custody in Baltimore.

"Apt (sic.) time to recall that the modern day police system is a direct evolution of slave patrols and lynch mobs," he stated in a separate post months later.

In 2018, Cherry called for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the Homeland Security Department agency tasked with preventing cross-border crime and illegal immigration, to be abolished.

Cherry was also posting support for "Palestine" on social media in 2014 during the Gaza War in which Palestinian forces, led by the radical Iran-backed terrorist group Hamas, launched hundreds of rockets into Israel, sparking a forceful Israeli response that involved airstrikes and a ground invasion.

"Cheersing in bars to ending the occupation of Palestine — no shame and f--- your glares #ISupportGaza #FreePalestine," Cherry said on July 25, 2014, in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter.

Cherry also has a history of criticizing Republicans on social media, including in 2017 when he said that conservatives in the Republican Party were focused on "white grievance politics."

"The Tea Party was never about the debt/deficit but about racism and white grievance politics," he wrote on X.

Update:

Very-Fine-People-On-Both-Sides Hoax of 2017 in the news: There was a change of ownership at Snopes in September 2022

Biden decided to run for president, he said, because Trump called neo-Nazis very fine people.

Funny what a change of ownership in September 2022 can do.

Trump and Biden have a debate scheduled for next Thursday, coincidentally.

Billionaire Mark Cuban is what Moe would call a very intelligent imbecile

 

Biden made the uncle-eaten-by-cannibals claim in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on April 17th

Major American media protected the president from this story for five days and didn't address it widely until Papua New Guinea got offended by his remarks.

It wasn't "news" before that, because it was bad.

Pennsylvania polling headed south for Biden starting on April 30 and not even the May 31 conviction of Trump has reversed it.

Letting Biden loose in Pennsylvania for three days to pile up eight fact checks from CNN of all places appears to have been a very costly political mistake.

 

 

Trump takes the war to Biden's home turf, turns out big, enthusiastic crowd in North Philly

 Biden took 81% of the vote in Philadelphia County in 2020 but won Pennsylvania by only 82,000 votes.

 Trump: "I went to school in Philadelphia" lol, which is some lie you'd expect Joe Biden to say but is actually true in Trump's case.

CNN, 19 April 2024:

President Joe Biden spent three days this week campaigning in the critical swing state of Pennsylvania. He littered his remarks with false and misleading claims on subjects ranging from his annual earnings to his cap on seniors’ prescription drug spending to the demographics of China to the frequency of his past travel to Iraq and Afghanistan.

And in Biden’s most eyebrow-raising remarks of the campaign swing, he told and then retold a story in which he strongly suggested his late uncle, Ambrose Finnegan, was eaten by cannibals after his plane was shot down while he fought in World War II. Biden’s dramatic details don’t match the Defense Department’s official account of the plane crash.

Here is a fact check of eight of Biden’s Pennsylvania remarks.

One reason Americans are fatter than ever might seem to be sloth, except for the fact that 60% of the population worked in both 1979 and 2022 but the average work week dropped by just one hour over the period

According to the CDC, obesity is most severe among those of late middle-age, so if you can prevent it before then you are more likely to escape it later:

The prevalence of severe obesity was highest among adults aged 40–59 compared with other age groups.

Peak Baby Boom turned 40 in 1997.

Americans worked 32.61 hours per week on average in 1979 and 31.57 hours in 2022

 Yeah, good times 2016:

Video posted on Twitter shows a woman that appears to be Clinton briefly swooning before being helped into a waiting van by her staff.

 

POLITICO has asked the campaign to confirm the clip’s authenticity.

Because the event was a small, non-campaign event, just a small pool of reporters was there to cover the ceremony, but those on hand did not witness any incident.

Calls and emails to more than a dozen Clinton staffers and associates asking for explanation were not returned.

 

Yeah, because the French center and left have made them prey

French women voters swing sharply to far right...

In a video Bardella argued that his party supported advances for women’s rights, from medical support to protection for women suffering domestic abuse. He also said he’d deport “foreign delinquents and criminals” and introduce stricter sentences for violence against women.

“No woman should ever have to fear going out into the streets of our country, whatever the time of day or night,” he said. ... “Our European values will always be outstandingly superior to those which enslave women, imprison them behind headscarves,” he said in a speech before the European Parliament last year.

  

Biden's immigration orders are as illegal as Obama's: The president has plenary statutory authority under 8 U.S.C. 1201 to deport any alien (legal or illegal) at any time for any reason, but he does not have any reciprocal power to naturalize aliens outside of Congress

 

 During the fledgling nation's constitutional ratification debates, which assumed existential importance after the failure of the Articles of Confederation, Federalists felt compelled to distinguish the presidency from the Crown on the grounds that the king "can make denizens of aliens" but the president has no such power. Indeed, the Framers cared so much about this that they explicitly accorded to Congress, in Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution, the power to "establish a uniform rule of naturalization." The message was clear: The president is not a king.

Instead of bailing out a bunch of deadbeat ingrates' student loans for votes in November maybe demagogue Joe Biden should have built some ships to help us fulfill our promises to our freedom-loving friends around the world.

Biden's forgiven student loans are nothing but new spending obligations of the American taxpayer financed by more borrowing: Big jump in the 2024 deficit due to student loan bailouts

 

 Student loan relief contributing to 27% jump in projected federal budget deficit, per CBO 

The federal budget deficit will hit $1.9 trillion this fiscal year according to the Congressional Budget Office. That’s $400 billion larger than the agency estimated in February.

Pew Research details crackpot beliefs held by a certain protected group and softens report under fierce social justice warrior backlash

PEW revises 'racial conspiracy theories' report after backlash...

 In the report released June 10 titled “Most Black Americans Believe Racial Conspiracy Theories About U.S. Institutions,” Pew detailed “the suspicions that Black adults might have about the actions of U.S. institutions based on their personal and collective historical experiences with racial discrimination.” Survey respondents highlighted issues such as discrimination in the medical field, incarceration, and guns and drugs in Black communities. ... Pew released the revised report Saturday with a new title: “Most Black Americans Believe U.S. Institutions Were Designed To Hold Black People Back.” The updated report includes a new headline, additional context and direct quotes from respondents.

It must infuriate Robin DiAngelo that Pew capitalizes "white" lol.

The crackpot beliefs are still there for all to see:

• 76% of Black adults say Black public officials today are singled out to be discredited in a way that doesn’t happen to White public officials.
• 76% say police today do very little to stop guns and drugs from flooding Black communities.
• 74% say Black people are more likely than White people to be incarcerated because prisons want to make money on the backs of Black people today.
• 67% of Black Americans say businesses today target marketing of luxury products to Black people in order to put them into debt.
• 55% of Black adults say secret and nonconsensual medical experiments (like the Tuskegee study) are happening to Black people today.
• 55% of Black adults say the government today encourages single motherhood and the elimination of Black men from Black families. 
• 51% of Black adults say the government promotes birth control and abortion to reduce the size of the Black population, and this is happening today.

Although most of the weapons have been shot down, at least 77 cargo ships have been hit, and one British-owned ship carrying 20,000 tons of fertilizer aboard was sunk. ...

The Biden administration has limited its military response to the Houthi attacks, hoping to avoid being drawn into a wider Middle East conflict.

People who say Trump's character counts make me want to puke: JFK has to be the biggest POS to ever win the White House, and his brothers right along with him

 'I know what's going on,' she told Finnerty. 'All these reporters — and they're almost always men — think I'm strange, that I must live off in my own world not to see what he's up to. I know exactly what he's up to.'

Jackie suspected that even Lee, her sister, had slept with Jack once. She knew about Jack and Pamela Turnure, her own press secretary. She knew about Jack's euphemistic 'pool parties' held almost daily in the White House — often attended by his brothers Ted and Bobby and various lackeys — and the young secretaries who'd join them. Women ran up and down the back stairs whenever Jackie was away, leaving behind blonde hairs and bobby pins.

One she didn't know about was 19-year-old Mimi Beardsley, who worked in the White House secretarial pool. Jack had invited Mimi to the White House residence, gotten her drunk, and taken Mimi's virginity on the bed he shared with his wife. In that same bed, Jackie once found a pair of women's knickers. 'Would you please shop around and find who these belong to?' she asked Jack coolly. 'They're not my size.'

Estimated-tax-penalties balloon by four times in 2023 due to higher interest rates and a greedy, lazy IRS which just got tens of billions in new funding from Joe Biden but can't get its software updated

 The average estimated-tax penalty in fiscal-year 2023 climbed to about $500 from about $150 in 2022, according to Internal Revenue Service data. Meanwhile the number of affected tax filers rose to 14 million from 12 million. Overall, the agency assessed $7 billion in estimated-tax penalties in 2023, nearly four times the $1.8 billion it assessed in 2022. ...

Filers who don’t pay in enough tax throughout the year owe a penalty in the form of an interest charge on their underpayment that’s set quarterly. In 2021, the year that prompted most of the 2022 assessments, the IRS’s rate on underpayments was a rock-bottom 3%. The penalty is based on the short-term Treasury rate plus three points, and it climbed to 6% as rates rose in 2022. That pushed up charges on underpayments assessed the next year.

In 2023 the rate rose to 8% for the fourth quarter. It’s still there–so underpayment penalties will continue to sting taxpayers who owe them. ...

The IRS’s computers can impose undeserved penalties on some estimated-tax filers, because they automatically treat income as though it’s earned equally throughout the year. So if a filer does a fourth-quarter Roth IRA conversion and pays tax on it at that time, the system will assume the income was earned all through the year but the tax was only paid in the fourth quarter.

Peggy Noonan: The Alitos did nothing wrong, and the dishonest activist is nothing but a Stalinist rat

  

 But there was something quite inhuman in what the left-wing activist did. She treated human beings as if they were mere means to her end. She acted out admiration to perform reputational harm. She presented herself falsely to inflict damage. That the content she produced was disseminated by honest grown-up journalists is to their discredit.

She claims to oppose polarization but fans it, further alienating those who already lack trust in institutions like the court and professionals like journalists. She presents another warning to those who hold or are adjacent to high office: You can’t assume good faith on the part of fellow citizens who seek you out.

More than that, it is deeply Stalinist. In Stalin’s time private life was dead, and private comments too. Neighbor spied on neighbor and reported back subversive comments to the Central Committee. People became spies, rooting out ideological error.
