Says He Wants to Work Across the Aisle
Posted By: Imright, 1/7/2023 5:28:52 PM
President Joe Biden congratulated House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) on being elected to the position Saturday, saying he is ready to work across the aisle in a divided government. “The American people expect their leaders to govern in a way that puts their needs above all else, and that is what we need to do now,” Biden said in a statement, congratulating him on his speakership. “As I said after the midterms, I am prepared to work with Republicans when I can and voters made clear that they expect Republicans to be prepared to work with me as well,” he added. “Now that the leadership of the House of Representatives has been decided,

A big problem Democrats and the complicit media have when it comes to the discovery of classified documents in President Joe Biden’s former office at a Washington think tank is that they set the precedent with their response to former President Donald Trump allegedly possessing classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago home.
Another problem they have little interest in is that the documents were at a “Chinese-funded” think tank, according to Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark.
It was on the latter note that Trump had plenty to say, with the media quick to dismiss his assertions as “wild speculation” — the odd thing about Trump’s speculations is that, over time,
The Republican National Committee shared a comprehensive list of President Joe Biden’s biggest whoppers on Tuesday, from his repeated claims that he drove an 18-wheeler to his insistence that a 2004 house fire — which was reportedly contained to his kitchen — had very nearly killed his wife and a couple of fire-fighters.
The list, which the RNC shared on Tuesday, detailed “21 made-up stories Biden has told about himself as president.”
First on the list was Biden’s claim that he “used to drive” an 18-wheeler.
“I used to drive a tractor trailer … I only did it for part of a summer,” Biden said in 2021 —
The House of Representatives affirmed the committee chairmanships of 21 Republicans on Tuesday, one day after the Steering Committee voted on five contested gavels.
Of the new GOP chairs, 16 served as ranking member on their committee during the 117th Congress, while incoming Ways and Means Committee chairman Jason Smith of Missouri was the previous ranking member of the House Budget Committee. North Carolina Rep. Virginia Foxx received a waiver to chair the Education and Workforce Committee, which she led from 2017-19 before being ranking member from 2019-23.
Foxx beat out Michigan Rep. Tim Wahlberg for the Education and Workforce gavel,
As we've all learned this week, multiple news reports allege that President Biden's personal attorneys discovered Obama administration-era classified materials among his belongings at a private office, where they undoubtedly do not belong. The items were handed over to the National Archives shortly after they were allegedly uncovered in a closet during the process of packing up the space. Biden's Attorney General has referred the matter to the US Attorney in Chicago for additional scrutiny, as this episode very much appears to involve improper handling of classified information and potential unlawful conduct.
Prince Harry has shared steamy details from the early days of his relationship with Meghan.
The Duke of Sussex, 38, who also opens up about losing his virginity in his memoir Spare, published today, recounts the very passionate way in which he and Meghan reunited in London after spending weeks apart in the summer of 2016.
The royal reveals he and Meghan spent the night at one of the Soho House branches on the day of the anniversary of Princess Diana's death, and recalls waiting 'breathlessly' outside her room until she opened the door and 'pulled me inside'.
Hinting the passionate clinch that followed their reunion,
Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA), the chair of the Senate’s Select Committee on Intelligence, demanded a briefing from President Joe Biden’s Justice Department on Tuesday about the stash of classified documents at UPenn reportedly related to Ukraine and Iran and dated between 2013 and 2016.
Warner stated he wanted a briefing on Biden’s mishandling of classified documents related to congressional oversight powers. The requested briefing flies in the face of the media’s decision to downplay the national security breach.
President Joe Biden, for the second day in a row, dodged questions about the classified documents found at his think tank in Washington DC, as a new report claims the files contained information on Ukraine, Iran and the United Kingdom.
Biden, who is in Mexico City for a meeting of the 'Three Amigos,' ignored questions shouted to him by reporters during his sit-down with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Tuesday.
"Mr President, did you mishandle classified documents?' a member of the press corps shouted at him.
He merely smiled and stayed silent as White House staff escorted journalists from the room.

Special counsel Jack Smith’s team has subpoenaed Donald Trump’s former attorney Rudy Giuliani, according to an exclusive new report from CNN.
The special counsel investigation has asked Giuliani to turn over records to a federal grand jury to examine Donald Trump’s fundraising following the 2020 election, the report adds.
The subpoena, which was sent more than a month ago and has not been previously reported, CNN notes. The subpoenas to other witnesses in addition to Giuliani were sent in late December, the report adds.
The investigation is requesting documents from Giuliani about payments he received at the time he was contesting elections on Donald Trump’s behalf.

Documents, but an Old Clip Proves Inconvenient 4 replies
On Monday evening, news dropped that Joe Biden had illegally possessed classified documents he took following his vice presidency. They were stored in a closet at the Penn Biden Center (which opened in 2018) and were supposedly discovered by lawyers prior to the 2022 election. They were then reported after all the votes were cast. I’m sure that timing was purely coincidental, though.
The comparisons to Donald Trump having allegedly classified documents at Mar-a-Lago began immediately, and rightfully so. It seemed to be another case of our two-tiered justice system rearing its head, where Democrats can hold onto classified information without consequence while Republicans face the full force of the law.

President Joe Biden slammed former President Donald Trump in September on 60 Minutes as “irresponsible” for allegedly keeping classified documents at Mar-a-Lago.
“How could that possibly happen?” Biden responded in the interview about Trump’s documents at Mar-a-Lago. “How anyone could be that irresponsible?”
“And I thought, what data was in there that may compromise sources and methods?” Biden added:(Tweet/Video) Biden’s statement came four months before CBS News reported Monday that a Biden think tank had been storing ten classified documents at the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement in Washington:
Columnist David Marcus wrote an opinion piece for Fox News that was published on Monday calling for the defunding of NPR after it ran a disgusting and disturbing essay by author Maia Kobabe defending the “Gender Queer” graphic novel for children which displays graphic drawings of sex acts.
“As House Republicans overcome their differences and take power in the chamber there is an issue that they should take up immediately: defunding National Public Radio. We all know that the taxpayer-funded, so-called news outlet leans farther left than a NASCAR racetrack, but this week they ran a slanderous and frankly disgusting essay by the author of the controversial graphic novel
Vice President Kamala Harris did not accompany President Joe Biden on his first border trip and has apparently not led any migration-related activity for seven months, despite being tapped as the administration’s border czar.
Biden travelled to El Paso, Texas, and had a highly controlled look at the border and a migrant center on Sunday. He spoke with local officials and federal law enforcement officials, but did not travel to see the masses of migrants sleeping on the streets in the downtown of the city.

Prince Harry has hinted that he and his wife, Meghan Markle will never give up their royal titles, while brazenly asking 'what difference it would make'.
When the Duke and Duchess of Sussex announced that they were stepping away from the monarchy and moving to America in early 2020 - many people called for them to give up their royal titles.
Those cries have become increasingly louder in the years since, during which Harry and Meghan have both launched multiple attacks on the royal family, beginning with their incendiary Oprah interview - and continuing with further TV appearances, a Netflix documentary, and the release of Harry's bombshell memoir,
Joe Biden on Monday refused to answer why classified documents had been found inside the offices of his Washington D.C. think tank in November - news that has only been made public now.
Biden was in Mexico City on Monday, for a meeting with President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador.
As the press was being ushered out of the meeting room, one reporter yelled out: 'Mr President, any response to the discovery of classified documents?'
Biden, flanked by his Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, and the Attorney General Merrick Garland, did not respond to the question, which was shouted as a Mexican government official began thanking the visiting U.S. delegation.
Americans are obliged to help bring more foreigners into their American society, White House spokesman John Kirby told reporters in a briefing ahead of President Joe Biden’s meeting with Mexico’s president on Monday and Tuesday.
“You can’t forget that … we do, as a nation of immigrants, have an obligation to provide better tools and pathways for them to come in,” Kirby told reporters in the White House. The “Nation of Immigrants” narrative was invented in the 1950s by advocates for more migration. Biden and his deputies are pushing that claim to justify their importation of more illegal migrants above the limits set by Congress.
A customer shot and killed a suspected robber at a Mexican restaurant in Houston late Thursday night, officials said.
According to the Houston Police Department, the shooting happened at The Ranchito #4 around 11:30 p.m.
Witnesses told police that a man in a ski mask entered the restaurant and pointed a pistol at customers, demanding their money. As the suspect collected money, one of the customers pulled out his own gun and shot the suspect multiple times, killing him, police said.
The shooter then retrieved all the stolen money from the robber and returned the money to the other customers before fleeing the scene.
Representative Katherine Clark (D-MA) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that the 15 votes it took for Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) to win the speakership showed “the keys have been handed over to extremists.”
Anchor Jake Tapper said, “It was a chaotic week in the House. Ultimately, however, Kevin McCarthy is the speaker. Are there areas where you think Democrats can realistically work with the Republican majority, common ground on relieving inflation, relieving the humanitarian crisis at the border?”
Clark said, “We have shown, Jake, Democrats stand ready at all times to work for the American people.
A federal agency may look to ban gas stoves over concern about the release of pollutants that can cause health and respiratory problems, according to a new report.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is set to open public comment on the dangers of gas stoves sometime this winter. The commission could set standards on emissions from the gas stoves, or even look to ban the manufacture or import of the appliances, commissioner Richard Trumka Jr. told Bloomberg News.
“This is a hidden hazard,” Trumka told the outlet. “Any option is on the table. Products that can’t be made safe can be banned.”
Lynnette Hardaway, the “Diamond” of the famed conservative duo Diamond and Silk, died Monday, according to the pair’s official Twitter account. “The World just lost a True Angel and Warrior Patriot for Freedom, Love, and Humanity! Diamond blazed a trail, founded on her passion and love for the entire race of humanity,” the family wrote on a fundraising page for her memorial service, to which they linked on Twitter.(Snip)“Silk was with her all the way, and at her passing,” the former president wrote. “There was no better TEAM anywhere, or at any time,” he added. “Rest In Peace our Magnificent Diamond, you will be greatly missed!” he concluded.
Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) on Sunday condemned House Speaker Kevin McCarthy's (R-CA) plans to kick her off the House Foreign Affairs Committee as hypocritical.
Omar was asked about McCarthy's repeated promises to yank her committee assignments during an appearance on MSNBC's Yasmin Vossoughian Reports. The progressive lawmaker was specifically questioned about if there were any developments on the matter in the days since McCarthy had secured the speaker's gavel. "I have not [received any updates]," Omar said. "It’s my understanding that we obviously have to get the rules package done. Hopefully, Monday when we reconvene, that is on top of the agenda,

As I’ve said in the past, I’ve never been a fan of the silliness of labeling political opponents. This is not to be confused with humorous “nicknames” — the most clever of which I enjoy, and have coined a few — but rather attempting to paint an adversary into a particular corner defined by you. Third-party “you,” that is. And of course, the most popular label by far among certain factions of the Republican Party is “RINO.”
The definition of “RINO” — Republican in Name Only — not only used to be easy to understand; it was easy to identify Republicans who fit the RINO mold. In the 1990s,
The White House refuses to comment or provide clarity on President Joe Biden’s remark to a Salvation Army official in El Paso this past weekend — that he spent time with the Secret Service in Poland and Ukraine.
The White House did not respond to Breitbart News’s request for comment about what specifically Biden was referencing.
A hot mic moment unearthed by the Republican National Committee’s research team revealed Biden told the Salvation Army official that he spent time with the Secret Service in Poland and Ukraine.
Biden, who visited the El Paso County Migrant Services Center on Sunday, spoke to a Salvation Army official during his inspection of the facility.
The House of Representatives is slated to vote on a bill Monday night that would cut more than $70 billion in Internal Revenue Service funding in an effort to prevent the agency from conducting new audits on Americans — fulfilling newly elected House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s promise ahead of taking the gavel. The Family and Small Business Taxpayer Protection Act from Reps. Adrian Smith, R-Neb., and Michelle Steel, R-Calif., would roll back the billions of dollars of funding for the IRS that was approved in the Inflation Reduction Act last year. Smith’s bill leaves in place funding for customer service and improvements to IT services at the IRS but rescinds
