Utter codswallop! Of course they do. I'm also certain that the security services of a number of foreign adversaries do as well. The unprecedented deception effort to conceal this information makes it clear how seriously damaging it would be to have it revealed. Business or political visitors can be explained away, but physicians or medical treatments are always immediate cause for investigation. Further cements for me the probability of the medical thread from yesterday as the basis for it!
The instant proof is given about the cognitive deficiency and cover up of the President, uncontrollable consequences begin.
[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] Garry Reid, the DoD's Director for Defense Intelligence, was recently dismissed from his duties after an Inspector General investigation into his misconduct
Complaints against Reid included claims he was having an affair with a subordinate, sexually harassed staff, and interfered with a secret UFO program
Former staffer Luis 'Lue' Elizondo claims in an exclusive interview that Reid was allegedly ousted for a spat over UFOs - and will be replaced by his alleged mistress, Tara Jones
Jones is named only as Employee 1 in an April 2020 IG report which found evidence of an 'inappropriate relationship and favoritism' but not a sexual affair
But Elizondo claims it wasn't until the IG investigated his complaints of Reid's alleged vendetta and smear campaign against him that Reid was dismissed
Last May Elizondo filed a separate 64-page complaint to the Department of Defense's Inspector General alleging a coordinated effort to discredit him
Elizondo shot to fame in 2017 after helping leak extraordinary videos from of tic tac-shaped UFOs moving with incredible speed and agility near aircraft carriers
[THEBLUESTATECONSERVATIVE] When Jen Psaki ...a valley girl who woke up one morning and found she was spokeswoman for the U.S. Department of State under Obama. A new American success story, under Biden she became spokeswoman for the whole administration, and she was even able to get her sister a job... used her position and platform to attack Fox News, I reported that she might have been acting illegally. Why? Because she’s a government official, and it’s thus at the very least unethical, if not illegal for her to boost a company she has a relationship with (she’s rumored to be heading to MSNBC when she leaves the White House).
For reference, she said, when asked if Peter Doocy is a stupid SOB, "He works for a network that provides people with questions that, nothing personal to any individual including Peter Doocy, but might make anyone sound like a stupid son of a bitch."
That attack on Fox, an attack that might have discredited it and thus boosted other stations like MSNBC in the eyes of some, particularly those who would be listening to Peppermint Patty on Pod Save America, was almost certainly unethical.
As a result, an anti-corruption organization called Protect the Public’s Trust (PPT) is demanding that she be investigated for what she said so it can be determined if she broke the law or behaved unethically by making the comments she did about Fox, a competitor to her future employer. Describing that demand in a blurb/complaint, PPT said:
Today, federal ethics watchdog Protect the Public’s Trust requested an investigation into possible ethics violations by White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki. Ms. Psaki’s statements and actions in the wake of widespread media reporting that she has been in negotiations to leave federal service for a role with a major media outlet appear inconsistent with her own promise to set "an example of engagement and transparency."
Despite the reporting and recusal requirements federal employees must comply with while in negotiations for outside employment as well as her own statements regarding those obligations, Ms. Psaki does not appear to have altered her behavior with respect to either her prospective employer or its competitors. She has continued to brief news hounds from the White House podium, including fielding inquiries from the organizations reportedly in a bidding war for her services.
In addition, her comments on an April 14, 2022, recording of Pod Save America disparaging Fox News, a competitor of her reported prospective employer, could constitute a misuse of her official position. During the podcast, Ms. Psaki was introduced by her title of White House Press Secretary and answered questions relating to President Joe Biden ...... 46th president of the U.S. Old, boring, a plagiarist, fond of hair sniffing and grabbing the protruding parts of women, and not whatcha call brilliant. Just look at the competent way he dumped Afghanistan...... and other aspects of her official duties. When asked about Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy, she declared, "He works for a network that provides people with questions that, nothing personal to any individual including Peter Doocy, but might make anyone sound like a stupid son of a b***h."

Climate friendly vehicles could/should be some kind of bio-diesel as you can get the required fuel nearly anywhere. Mix that with a hybrid electric if you can do so properly to extend the range.
Modify shipping containers to have dozens of Tesla walls (or similar) inside and lots of power plugs so you can charge off a supercarriers power all day and helicopter it in to a forward base at night to charge up the vehicles before heading out again in the morning. They even have mini-nuke plants that could power up vehicles in super-safe areas.
Combine all that with sniffer tech on drones that could pick up regular diesel exhaust and you could pinpoint enemies within a certain range which might be useful.
Just spitballing. I know it's a corrupt boondoggle to pay off the usual suspects but some good could come out of it.
[AMERICANTHINKER] As Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. The nincompoop who dumped Afghanistan. The copier doesdn't exist that could reelect him.... , or whoever is handling him today, aware of his latest "optics"?
Get a load of what he's been up to:
President Joe Biden stopped in Portland ...a formerly lovely city in Oregon, governed by an unholy alliance of communists, anarchists, and incompetents. In 2017 the city was named as the fifth most business-friendly in the nation. It took only three years for the city to degenerate to the point where it became a national embarrassment, with antifa and Black Lives Matter bullying taxpayers and occasionally shooting one as an example to the others... for a few hours Thursday afternoon to drum up excitement for his administration's trillion-dollar effort to revamp the nation's roads, bridges, airports and railways.
Biden's speech was part pep talk, part explainer.
"Oregon and America have gone from being on the mend to being on the move," Biden said. "We just gotta get the hell out of our own way."
Oregon? Portland? Seriously? That's like touting Flint, or bankrupt, increasingly impoverished, reliably Democrat, Detroit ... ruled by Democrats since 1962. A city whose Golden Age included the Purple Gang... as the great model upon which to build back all of America. Do his handlers think these things through -- or is Portland the only place out there that will step up to serve as his model?
Portland is a disastrous antifa-infested mess, a pit of drugs, crime, and homelessness, with corporations and citizens pulling up stakes to flee the city. Its infrastructure is a mess in no small part because city officials are so busy handing out the city coffers to the homeless instead of repairing the roads, and antifa is busy trashing and burning it. Any city like that would have infrastruture problems. Joe says he's coming to transfer money from other taxpayers to fix Portland up -- so antifa can burn it down again. Neither Biden, nor Portland Democrats talk about getting rid of antifa.

It's funny how many assumptions they make, like that MM was a mod. Or that we're all part of the Qanon thing. Honestly I wouldn't know where to find it. The oilfield has a few idiots, I remember one that planned to vote for Bernie, despite the fact Bernie PROMISED to put us out of work. She claimed I probably read something Stormer and a bunch of other stuff I never heard of. I told her it was odd that I, a die hard conservative and constitutionalist had never heard of them yet she had. She got quiet for a moment and then said "Fox News", I laughed and answered "They're a bunch of leftists" She was quite unhappy.
I'll take your word for it, Frank G.

The sink trap disappeared years ago in one of Fred’s upgrades. It was interesting to see what was in it, but mostly of the contents were uninteresting insults or spam.
I missed the excitement today, but have no doubt the deletions were deserved. Some of our new visitors have the mistaken impression that flame wars are well reasoned discourse, or that repeating their point multiple times, only louder, will persuade our readers.
I smelled a moslem in here too once or twice,
I wouldn’t be surprised. We get all sorts of interesting visitors here, Dron, from all over the world.
libtards posing as ultraRight and such too, out to gaslight Rantburg or get it in trouble.
Gaslighting doesn’t work well with the experienced cynics round here, but one of the reasons the moderators are as strict as we are is that we will not allow Fred to be set up when he has spent so much time making this place for us.
[TOWNHALL] State politicians in Rhode Island are pushing legislation that would require every person in the state 16 years of age and older to be vaccinated against COVID-19 and punish those who refuse to do so.
Local outlet NBC 10 reported Tuesday that two state Senators have removed their names from the bill, Bill S.2552.
NBC 10 noted that those who violate the proposed mandate would "face a civil penalty of $50 and shall owe twice the amount of personal income taxes."
Employers would be responsible to enforce the mandate and require vaccine proof from employees or face a $5,000 fine for each worker who is unvaccinated.
"Some of the senators who introduced the bill on March 1 did not want to talk about it anymore," NBC 10 wrote.
State Sen. Sam Bell, a Democrat, said on Twitter that Rhode Island residents "strongly support a universal vaccine mandate" and that "it’s time for us to pass my mandate bill."

[TOWNHALL] I really am flummoxed by the ineptitude of President Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. We hold these truths to be self-evident. All men and women created ... by the — you know — you know, the thing... and his chief of staff, Ron Klain. Biden has been a Washington politician for half a century, including eight years as vice president and before that a senior senator. Klain is a consummate Washington insider, having worked for Janet Reno, Al Gore ...Former Vice President, Nobel Prize winner, Global Warming prophet and speculator, and crazed sex poodle Al Gore... , Biden and others.
How are they this inept?
Last summer, the border got swamped with migrants colonists. They sent Vice President Kámala Harris Former Oakland mayor Willie Brown's former mistress, then a senatrix from California, and then a former 2020 Dem presidential hopeful. She dropped out because she was polling in negative numbers because of racism or misogyny or something like that. Her father is a Marxist professor emeritus at Stanford and her mother is an Indian of the Hindoo tribe. She is reputedly the proud descendant of a long line of women. Joe Biden picked her for her skin tone, feeling she could also bring in the Native American, women's, and bimbo votes. She's an outstanding exemplar of the Peter Principle, proudly displaying her level of competence in her handling of the Biden Border Surge south of the border and the situation never improved. Activists accused border patrol agents of whipping refugees with horsewhips. The White House condemned the act. But an investigation recently revealed no immigrants colonists were whipped. White House staff have declined to apologize for believing the allegation.
Many border patrol agents are Hispanic. The criticisms of Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the border patrol by the left are criticisms of Hispanic voters and their families -- a constituency the Democrats are losing. But the White House seems openly hostile to both.
Now, having seen what monsoon of migrants colonists the summer brought last year, the Biden administration (aka the Wilmington comorra) ...the collection of boodlers, grifters, hangers-on, and self-proclaimed experts affiliated with the Biden Crime Family. Entrusted with an entire nation as the result of a suspicious election, they set about happily implementing stuff they absorbed in college, all of which blew up and splattered the rest of us... is preparing for the expiration of Title 42. The pandemic is receding. Title 42 can be deployed as a health care power so long as the pandemic is at the forefront. It allows the surgeon general to keep people from entering the United States due to a health care crisis. With a receding pandemic, Title 42 has to go away. It's only a matter of time before some enterprising Trump judge scraps it to exacerbate the political problems for Biden.
Here's the thing: How are we in April of 2022 in a midterm election and the White House clearly has no plan to deal with the surge of illegal immigrants colonists and expiration of Title 42? Their own polling shows this issue is pushing Hispanic voters to the GOP and they've got nothing. They have had plenty of time to prepare and did nothing to prepare.
How are they this inept?
The Biden administration was caught flat-footed on Ukraine too. They knew the Russians would invade. They chose to provide Ukraine help but have constantly scaled back their original offers. The administration has slow-walked intelligence to Ukraine, putting the Republicans in a more pro-Ukraine position than Biden. Biden has accused Russia of genocide and then taken no actions equal to the accusation. Just last week, the United States promised helicopters on a Thursday and walked back the promise that same Friday.
How are they this inept?
Then there is the mask issue. They could have let it expire a few weeks ago and taken the credit. Instead, a federal judge in Florida threw it out. Then Joe Biden himself said people should have the choice whether they want to wear a mask or not. Less than six hours later, his administration decided to appeal to get the mask mandate reinstated. But they are not going to ask for its immediate reinstatement. Instead, they're going to ask for the authority to be able to reimpose it in the future.
So, in other words, Biden could have canceled the mask mandate a few weeks ago, rendered the court case moot, preserved the power to reimpose it and taken credit for its end. But Biden and Klain did not. Instead, they will now ask a court to preserve power for the organization that insists you not eat raw cookie dough and cook your steak to an internal temperature of 145 F.
How are they this inept?
Between the border, Ukraine and the masks, they really have no plans for governing. They have just decided to perpetuate the status quo of their own making in the hope that something shakes out. They are careening from crisis to crisis, two clowns in bumper cars colliding with crises of their own creation.
The best they have going now are their pundit partisans lamenting that really Biden is a victim of circumstance unable to control anything. And that is not much of a defense.
Some might say this is all part of some elaborate plan, but the Republicans are about to wipe them out. That is most assuredly not part of the plan. How are they this inept?

[THEGATEWAYPUNDIT] Florida Governor Ron DeSantis ...Republican governor of Florida, stone in the shoe of the Dems and their ilk, maybe one-day president... signed a bill into law on Friday that terminates all special districts that were enacted in Florida prior to 1968, including Disney’s Reedy Creek Improvement District. The new law will remove Disney’s tax privilege and special governing status.
The Reedy Creek Improvement District, which was created by state politicians in 1967, is the governing jurisdiction and special taxing district for the land of Walt Disney World Resort.
Rep. Randy Fine filed HB3C on Tuesday to end six of 1,844 special districts, including the Reedy Creek Improvement District.
The Florida Senate passed legislation on Wednesday to end Disney’s special tax privilege and self-governing status on a 23-16 vote.
On Thursday, the Florida House voted 68-38 in favor to strip Disney’s self-government.
Lefty protesters screeched like demons as politicians voted to pass the legislation.

Add one of those special taxes where the revenue from goes to a fund to assist traumatized children who are victims of sexual assault.
And on a personal level, these are people who have promised to make the underpants of children their business even with an explicit law stating otherwise, that doubters should take a second look at Constitution Carry as a safety against these stalkers and sexual predators.
[NYPOST] President Joe Biden ...... 46th president of the U.S. We hold these truths to be self-evident. All men and women created ... by the — you know — you know, the thing...... on Friday celebrated Earth Day in Seattle ...a formerly lovely city in Washington state, governed by communists, anarchists, dipshits, and other sorts of incompetents. Home to Starbuck's, Boeing (at least for now), and Amazon, Microsoft, and Costco, the city became rich beyond its wildest dreams. All that money attracted the usual sort of grifting politician, and it's well on its way to chewing off the hand that feeds it... with a rambling speech vowing to make "every vehicle" in the military "climate-friendly" while admitting his personal fleet includes a prized Corvette that "does nothing but pollute."
Biden didn’t offer specifics while telling local Democrats in a park that he intends to cut the emissions of war machines like tanks, helicopters and fighter jets.
"I’m going to start the process where every vehicle in the United States military — every vehicle is going to be climate-friendly. Every vehicle. No, I mean it. We’re spending billions of dollars to do it," Biden said.
The president, who uses large amounts of fossil fuels for regular weekend trips home to Delaware, admitted he’s had a hard time practicing what he is preaching.
"I’m an automobile buff. I have a ’68 Corvette that does nothing but pollute the air. But I don’t drive it very much," Biden joked, appearing to refer to his 1967 Corvette Stingray.
The gaffe-prone president’s week began with an aide dressed as an Easter bunny intervening to stop him from talking to news hounds, but no staffers stepped in as he proceeded to use baby-talk to imitate a child’s plea for him to"pwomise" him to "pwease" protect the Bears Ears National Monument in Utah.

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
