'Let's Go Brandon!' Song Soars to 1 on iTunes
[BREITBART] The viral ’Let’s Go Brandon!’ mass take down 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...
has inspired a unique rap version that on Sunday perched squarely at the top of the iTunes hip-hop chart.

Fox News reported the song, performed by rapper Loza Alexander and titled "Let’s Go Brandon," first went viral on TikTok before quickly joining the iTunes hip-hop chart to clinch the number one spot.

The piece was inspired by the "Let’s Go Brandon!" trend sweeping the country since NBC sports news hound Kelli Stavast interviewed NASCAR driver Brandon Brown after his victory at Alabama’s Talladega Superspeedway earlier this month.

As Breitbart News reported, the crowd could be heard chanting in the background during the interview "F— Joe Biden" which Stavast claims to have misheard as "Let’s Go Brandon!"

"Brandon, you also told me," Stavast said before being interrupted by the crowd. "As you can hear the chants from the crowd..." she added, before claiming the crowd was saying, "’Let’s Go, Brandon!’"

The exchange quickly went viral on social media, with some users speculating the news hound intentionally attempted to mischaracterize the crowd’s chanting to spare her blushes and those of the interviewee.

From there the phrase became a catch cry for opponents of the president, finding its way onto merchandise while others began chanting it at sporting events, with a child at NAPA’s Super DIRT Week at the Oswego Speedway even exclaiming, "let’s go Brandon!" when asked by an announcer to "help kick this thing off."

Now the hip hop version rules the iTunes charts.

In the days since the mocking chant was first heard, neither NBC nor Stavast has commented on Stavast’s false claim about the NASCAR crowd.

Elsewhere the establishment media has also played its part in seeking to protect the president from the predations of public opinion.

Economy
Buttigieg: Supply Chain Problems Exist Because Biden Guided U.S. Out of Recession
[BREITBART] Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg
...the testicleless mayor of South Bend, Indiana, since 2012. Buttigieg graduated from Harvard College and, on a Rhodes Scholarship, from Pembroke College, Oxford. From 2007 to 2010, he worked at McKinsey and Company, a consulting firm. From 2009 to 2017 Buttigieg served as an intelligence officer in the United States Navy Reserve, attaining the rank of lieutenant and deploying to Afghanistan in 2014. Buttigieg was first elected mayor of South Bend in 2011 and was reelected in 2015. During his second term, he announced he was gay, which surprised no one. Buttigieg also campaigned for Indiana state treasurer in 2010 and for chair of the Democratic National Committee in 2017, losing both elections. He ran for the Dem nomination in 2020 on the theory that being mayor of a nondescript medium sized city is qualification to run the country. He lost that one too...
said Sunday on CNN
...the organization formerly known as the Cable News Network. Now who knows what it might stand for...
’s "State of the Union" that the supply chain backups at America’s ports were a product of President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S., father of Hunter. He blames Trump for losing Afghanistan....
guiding the economy "out of the teeth of a terrifying recession," which caused incomes and demand to rise.Anchor Jake Tapper said, "We are seeing supply chain disruption causing everything from higher prices to longer waits for products. Moody’s warns that these supply chain disruptions, quote, ’will get worse before they get better, ’ unquote. do Americans need to prepare ourselves for this to get worse before it gets better?"

Buttigieg said, "Certainly, a lot of the challenges that we have been experiencing this year will continue into next year. But there are both short-term and long-term steps that we can take to do something about it. Part of what’s happening isn’t just the supply side. It’s the demand side. Demand is off the charts. Retail sales are through the roof. If you think about those images of ships, for example, waiting at anchor on the west coast, every one of those ships is full of record amounts of goods that Americans are buying, because demand is up, because income is up, because the president has successfully guided this economy out of the teeth of a terrifying recession. Now the issue is, even though our ports are handling more than they ever have, record amounts of goods coming through, our supply chains can’t keep up. Of course, our supply chains — that’s a complicated system that is mostly in private hands and rightly so. Our role is to be an honest broker, bring together all of the players, secure commitments, and get solutions that will make it easier."

#12  Pete is in here somewhere...

congenital liar 🤥 pathological liar 🤥 and more

A congenital characteristic or feature in a person is so strong that you cannot imagine it ever changing, although there may seem to be no reason for it

A pathological liar is someone who lies to get his way. They are manipulative, crafty, and usually have a goal in mind when they lie. They have no concern for the feelings of others, even of those people who are close to them.

Compulsive liars lie for many different reasons. Unlike the pathological liar, compulsive liars are easier to figure out. Their stories don’t usually have a ring of truth to them. They also display obvious lying behaviors, such as breaking out into a sweat, avoiding eye contact, rambling or tripping over their words.

Some types of compulsive liar personality disorder are the habitual liar and the narcissistic liar. Habitual liars are people who lie all the time. In fact, lying has become a habit.

Remember if you are a Democrat....Vote early and vote often !

Generally a tongue-in-cheek phrase used in relation to elections and the voting process. Though rarely considered a serious suggestion, the phrase theoretically encourages corrupt electoral activity, but is used mostly to suggest the occurrence of such corruption. (See Election 2020)

The phrase had its origins in the United States in the mid-19th century, and had an early appearance in Britain when a newspaper reprinted correspondence from an American solicitor. The phrase, however, did not find widespread use until the early 1900s when it was used in relation to the activities of organized crime figures in Chicago.
(But WAS adopted by the Democrat party, in their platform as early as 1 January 1900 - see unwritten rules - secret handshake 🤝 - Obama Rules 2021-2024)

Government Corruption
Biden Admin Threatens To Make Unvaxx'd Navy SEALs Repay Their Training Costs
[American Thinker] I can think of few better ways to ensure that fewer qualified people will apply to join the nation's most elite fighting unit than the policy just announced by the U.S. Navy's COVID Consolidated Disposition Authority. It has issued a directive that, as Hank Berrien reports, threatens "removing them from special warfare, reducing their salaries, and forcing them to repay training."

Since training a SEAL is very expensive, this amounts to financial ruin for the heroes who undergo incredibly harsh training and who offer their lives to protect us.

President Trump's interior secretary, Ryan Zinke, a former SEAL, appropriately criticized the plan on Facebook:
Our Nation's best don't sign up to be a Navy SEAL to cash in on our training years later. We give a blood oath to fight for freedom and defend the Constitution against all enemies, both foreign and domestic. In doing so, we bear a burden of emotional, psychological, physical, and family stress of constant deployments and low pay because we love our Country. Shame Mr. President for not recognizing the service and sacrifice and further insulting SEALs by making this about money.

Put aside any consideration of the effectiveness of the vaccines or of the side-effects that may take years to become apparent. This escalation of bullying of the bravest and most self-sacrificing among us threatens national security.

$86M bus 'war room' empty, falling apart two years after MTA ribbon cutting
[NYPOST] The MTA spent $86 million on a state-of-the-art, NASA-like "bus command center" that has gone unused for more than two years because it’s already falling apart, The Post has learned.

Transit officials have said the eastern Brooklyn command center, which replaces a smaller facility across the street, will serve as a "war room" for bus dispatchers. But the building has sat empty since former Transit President Andy Byford and other big-wigs held a celebratory ribbon cutting there in June 2019.

With the building at Jamaica Avenue and Fanchon Place having suffered leaks, faulty heating and bug-infested bathrooms, dispatchers who are supposed to work there have refused to relocate from across the street, sources said.

The ribbon Byford cut with then-MTA Buses President Darryl Irick in 2019 said "grand opening," but dispatchers only started to move into the building last winter, sources said. That lasted only a few months because the heat did not work and the building’s electrical system couldn’t handle the worker’s space heaters.

"It’s falling apart. It had roof leaks. The place is empty and the employees refuse to work there," said one bus worker. "They have to put in electric heaters just to keep warm."

MTA officials have promised to hire additional dispatchers to fill the new command center’s massive theater, but photos obtained by The Post show the so-called "war room" empty — with the computers running and cable playing on the TVs.

"They’re keeping the heating and ventilation system running. They can’t let it freeze up. They’re paying thousands of dollars in cable bills with TVs on and no one’s there," said the source. "It’s a brand new building and it looks horrible."

"That place has been a mess since it started," said another worker, who shared photos of dropped ceilings, an infested bathroom and cracked glass in a section of the building meant to protect workers from chemical attacks.

The command center was initially supposed to cost $55 million and wrap up in 2017. Completion was ultimately kicked to June 2019 due to issues with the building’s drainage and sprinkler systems.

The building was constructed by MPCC Corp., a contracting company based in Westchester County.

A related project to upgrade the MTA’s bus radio system has been repeatedly delayed, in part due to "poor contractor quality/productivity," according to publicly available MTA board materials. Once slated to cost $283 million, the radio project cost has increased to $294 as of November 2020.

MTA rep Aaron Donovan said the command center is now set to open "in the first half of next year."

"The upgraded Bus Command Center is the first part of a complex project to improve service for bus customers by bringing our service management into the 21st century with a state-of-the-art bus radio system," Donovan said in a statement. "Like most of the capital program, the project was temporarily placed on pause during the pandemic."

Loudoun County prosecutor who sought to jail father of girl allegedly raped at school tied to Soros, McAuliffe
[FOXNEWS] The Loudoun County prosecutor who sought jail time against a father who was arrested at a school board meeting after his daughter was allegedly sexually assaulted in a school bathroom has ties to progressive megadonor George Soros
...either Ernst Stavro Blofeld or Auric Goldfinger come true...
and Democratic Virginia gubernatorial nominee Terry McAuliffe.Loudoun County Commonwealth's Attorney Buta Biberaj
...born in Montenegro of Albanian parents then reared in the Bronx, she’s one of the stable of Soros prosecutors...
was described in the explosive report by The Daily Wire as the "progressive" elected county prosecutor who ran on a platform of ending "mass incarceration," but yet she sought jail time for disorderly conduct and resisting arrest, both misdemeanor charges, against Scott Smith.

Smith was arrested during a June 22 school board meeting several weeks after he says his daughter was raped by a gender-fluid student in a school bathroom. The student, a 15-year-old boy, was charged in that case with two counts of forcible sodomy and later arrested. He was then fitted with an ankle monitor and transferred to another school in Ashburn, where he was accused of committing another sexual assault against another female student in October.

Biberaj told Fox 5 on Friday the decision to transfer the student to a different school came because he didn’t have a prior history of such behavior at the time, and she asked the public to "be patient" and refrain from judgment until "all the facts" in the case come to light.

Meanwhile,
...back at the desert island, Bert climbed the cocoanut tree, looking for ships. He saw none. He looked in the other direction and saw Irene, vigorously scrubbing her backside...
Smith’s attorney has announced plans to sue the school district over its handling of the case and his own arrest at the school board meeting. He was sentenced in that case to 10 days in jail, all suspended, contingent on a year of good behavior.

According to The Daily Wire, Biberaj appeared in court to personally prosecute Smith, despite knowing the details of the case involving his daughter. Smith’s attorney Elizabeth Lancaster told the outlet that she’s known Biberaj for "years" and was shocked when the charges against Smith weren’t dropped.

"The idea that they would actually be seeking jail time, I’d guess in my 15 years the number of times I’ve seen that happen would be zero," Lancaster said. "The idea that this is a person who we need to put in a cage was astounding to me given the social justice reform she was pushing. I was blown away."

The Daily Wire’s article appears to suggest Biberaj motives for prosecuting the case are political, claiming she is "known for leniency and alternatives to incarceration" in other cases. She came under fire earlier this month for dismissing of hundreds of domestic violence cases after an accused wife-beater out on bond allegedly murdered his wife with a hammer. An advocacy group called Virginians for Safe Communities is leading a recall effort against Biberaj because of that case, the Washington Free Beacon reported.

Biberaj did not immediately respond to Fox News’ request for comment.
Fox News adds:
Biberaj was one of several Soros-backed prosecutors elected in Northern Virginia in 2019 after her campaign received more than $860,000 from Soros' Justice and Public Safety PAC. She is a criminal reform advocate and member of a group of the commonwealth’s attorneys called Virginia Progressive Prosecutors for Justice, which calls for eliminating mandatory minimum sentences and cash bail.

Biberaj is also a close ally with McAuliffe, who reportedly accepted a $250,000 contribution from Soros for his campaign in August. Biberaj, who has praised McAulliffe as being "part of the progress" that Virginia needs, joined the former Democratic governor as recently as Oct. 2 at a campaign event in Leesburg.

School Boards and Idiots
[AMERICANTHINKER] Mark Twain famously said, "In the first place, God made idiots. That was for practice. Then he made school boards." If you ever doubted the wisdom of this observation, the conduct of the Loudoun County School Board, the National School Boards Association, and Attorney General Merrick Garland
...Attorney General of the U.S., who classifies indignant parents as domestic terrorists. The is the respected legal scholar Obama nominated for the Supreme Court...
should put paid to your skepticism. A more patent a collection of idiots it would be hard to find.

The heroes in this story are Scott Smith, father of a maiden of tender years who had been sexually assaulted in a Loudoun County school bathroom by a "gender fluid" boy wearing a skirt, with an assist from the America First Legal Foundation (AFL), and the thousands of concerned parents of public school children around the country.

DOJ Hits Back At Biden, Declares It's Independence
[CONSERVATIVEBRIEF] President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. The guy who lost Afghanistan, aka Biden's Bungle...
’s own Department of Justice just laid the smackdown on him after he urged the January 6 House Select Committee to prosecute those who do not comply with a Congressional subpoena.As he was outside the White House on Friday a CNN
...the organization formerly known as the Cable News Network. Now who knows what it might stand for...
news hound asked him if those people, like former White House chief strategist Bannon, should be prosecuted.

"Mr. President, what’s your message to people who defy Congressional subpoenas on the January 6 committee?" the news hound said.

"I hope that the committee goes after them and holds them accountable criminally," he said.

"Should they be prosecuted by the Justice Department?" the news hound pressed.

"I do, yes," the president said.

The Department of Justice was not thrilled with the president’s statement and DOJ spokesperson Anthony Coley made it known that the department will not be told what to do.
*wink wink*
"The Department of Justice will make its own independent decisions in all prosecutions based solely on the facts and the law. Period. Full stop," he said.

White House Press Secretary 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...
attempted to fix Biden’s message on Twitter.

"As @potus has said many times, January 6th was one of the darkest days in our democracy. He supports the work of the committee and the independent role of the Department of Justice to make any decisions about prosecutions," she said.

Home Front: Politix
Abbott on 'Let's Go Brandon' Movement: People 'Angry' About Border, Inflation, COVID, 'Ludicrous' Biden Policies
[BREITBART] Texas Gov. Greg Abbott
... governor of Texas. Abbott is a Republican. His 2014 Dem opponent, state senatrix Wendy Davis, thought the absolute, most pressing, most important issue facing the state was abortion. Abbott beat the pantyhose off her. His 2018 opponent, Lupe Valdez didn't dwell too heavily on abortion, but she lost too...
(R) weighed in on the "Fuck Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. An incredibly corrupt version of Jar-Jar Binks, only well into his dotage. The dumbass who abandoned Afghanistan....
" (FJB), "Let’s Go Brandon" movement sweeping the country Friday in an exclusive interview with Breitbart News."Let’s Go Brandon," replied the Lone Star State governor when asked about the viral trend from the 50 yard line at the University of Texas’s Darrell K. Royal Stadium. "Let’s Go Brandon" is the newer, more family-friendly version of the anti-President Joe Biden
...... 46th president of the U.S. An incredibly corrupt version of Jar-Jar Binks, only well into his dotage. The dumbass who abandoned Afghanistan.......
slogan which was born after an NBC news hound embarrassingly misreported a NASCAR crowd chant earlier this month.

"It is happening because of the disastrous policies that are implemented by Joe Biden," explained Abbott.

"People are angry. People who come to these stadiums, who want to gather and celebrate a great American tradition like college football, and you have Joe Biden trying to shut things down and shut people out and you got [Anthony] Fauci saying you got to stay home until Christmas or whenever — and it’s just ludicrous the policies that Joe Biden is advancing," the governor continued.

Abbott shared his perspective ahead of the Texas vs. Oklahoma State football game Saturday. While the FJB phenomenon has since spread to other events, including to international venues, videos of the chant being sung were first recorded at college football games across America.

Biden Touts Police Reform While Mobs Run Wild in Portland
[PJMEDIA] Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S., father of Hunter. He blames Trump for losing Afghanistan....
commemorated coppers who had bit the dust in the line of duty in 2019 and 2020 in a speech at the Capitol building on Saturday. "There’s too much pain. There’s too much loss. There’s too much at stake for your safety and the safety of those you serve," Biden said at the National Peace Officers’ annual memorial service.There’s also too much interference by politicians for the police to do an effective job. And there’s too little support by Democratic politicians of the police forces that keep their cities from blowing up.

There’s a clear disconnect between what Biden was saying about the heroism of police and the fact that he and other politicians have abandoned them.

Washington Post:

The 2020 killing of St. George Floyd
...the patron saint of Minneapolis, a sterling example for our children and indeed for us all. St. George was martyed by the Devil's agents in blue while standing on a street corner preaching tolerance and racial justice or something like that...
by a Minneapolis police officer brought millions into the streets to call for police reform and a dismantling of systemic racism
...the idea that the nation is racist to the core, always was, and always will be. 330 million Americans live in Selma, Alabama in 1965, and we're never, ever leaving...
. "Defund the police" became a rallying cry for some and a source of derision for others. The polarization was exacerbated as violent mostly peaceful crime ticked up in American cities and local leaders looked to police to curb the violence.

Floyd’s family spoke at the 2020 Democratic National Convention, where Biden was nominated. And as president, Biden invited the Floyds to a White House meeting on the anniversary of his killing.

Biden said nothing about the way that Floyd’s murder while in police custody was used by politicians and activists — including radical revolutionaries — to portray all police as being guilty of racism and "targeting" black people for death. The white-hot anti-police rhetoric by Black Lives Matter has directly led to the deaths of several coppersbumped off for the simple reason that they wore blue.

Most recently, a Houston, Texas, deputy constable working a "police-related extra job" was shot and killed while two other constables were maimed in what authorities say was an "ambush" shooting.

Another 'Insurrection:' 'We the Parents' to demonstrate in front of Justice Department
[PUBLISH.TWITTER] Kamala Harris Appears in Law-Breaking Video Because Nothing Matters Anymore
[REDSTATE] When it comes to politics, nothing matters anymore. At least, that’s true as long as you are a Democrat, and 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
illustrated that perfectly yesterday with the release of a law-breaking video. In it, she clearly endorses Terry McAuliffe to be Virginia’s next governor, which is technically allowed for the vice president because she’s exempt from the Hatch Act. Yet, it’s where the video is going to be played that should lead to legal consequences.

Of course, the keyword there is "should" because we all know nothing is going to happen here.

This would be a national scandal if a Republican down to dogcatcher did it.

These churches playing this video, which is not only political but actually endorses a candidate, is a clear violation of the Johnson Amendment which prohibits tax-exempt churches from engaging in the direct or indirect promotion of a candidate for office. Here’s the legal definition per NPR.

Under terms of the 1954 legislation (named for its principal sponsor, then-Sen. Lyndon Johnson), churches and other nonprofit organizations that are exempt from taxation "are absolutely prohibited from directly or indirectly participating in, or intervening in, any political campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to) any candidate for elective public office," according to the IRS
...the Internal Revenue Service; that office of the United States government that collects taxes and persecutes the regime's political enemies...
website.

Harris’ video could not meet the above definition anymore perfectly if she tried. Had she simply encouraged people to vote, this likely would have passed muster (as sketchy as that would be on its own), but she went much further than that. While there’s sometimes ambiguity when Democrat politicians campaign in black churches, a common occurrence, Harris endorses McAuliffe and spends half the video singing his praises. If that’s not a violation of the Johnson Amendment, then nothing is. And there’s little argument that the church is promoting her message from the pulpit when they are choosing to play the video without a counter from Glenn Youngkin.

Biden, nearly 79, plans to undergo physical exam 'soon,' Psaki says
[FOXNEWS] President Joe Biden
...... 46th president of the U.S. Sleazy Dem machine politician, paterfamilias of the Biden Crime Family, the guy who bungled Afghanistan......
will undergo a physical examination soon but no specific date has been set, White House press secretary 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...
said at a news briefing Thursday.

Video from the briefing shows Psaki fielding questions from Playboy news hound Brian Karem as she donned a face mask and prepared to leave the White House briefing room after a session with a roomful of journalists.

"Hey Jen, will he take a physical anytime soon and report it to the American public?" Karem asked about Biden, who will turn 79 years old Nov. 20 and is the oldest man ever to serve in the Oval Office.

"He will," Psaki responded.

"How soon? Do we know?" Karem asked.

"I don’t have an update for you but will soon," Psaki replied.

Democrats face growing storm over IRS reporting provision
[THEHILL] Democrats are facing a firestorm of criticism over a proposal to increase the amount of bank account information reported to the IRS
...the Internal Revenue Service; that office of the United States government that collects taxes and persecutes the regime's political enemies...
, posing a challenge as they craft their wide-ranging social spending bill.The proposal is a top priority of the Biden administration, the same old faces in slightly different places, the same old ideas, the same old graft
...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...
, which argues it will help the IRS go after wealthy tax cheats.

But it has come under a barrage of attacks from banks and Republicans, who say it raises significant privacy concerns. Financial institutions have been mobilizing their customers to speak out against the proposal to politicians.

Congressional Democrats are expected to make changes to the administration’s initial proposal, but are generally supportive of the idea. The increasing attacks on the proposal has prompted politicians and administration officials to go on the defensive.

"Ultimately, the President’s proposal seeks to pare back tax evasion by shedding some light on opaque sources of income that accrue disproportionately to the top 1 percent of earners," Natasha Sarin, deputy assistant secretary for economic policy at the Treasury Department, wrote Thursday in a post on the department’s website.

"As such, it is unsurprising that substantial resources are being deployed to defeat these efforts, because many tax cheats stand to lose from a fairer tax system," Sarin added.

The Biden administration earlier this year released a proposal that would require banks and other financial institutions to report on existing annual IRS forms the total amount of money that came into an account during a year and the total amount of money that came out of it.

The president’s budget request proposed imposing the reporting requirement for accounts with flows of at least $600. Congressional Democrats have discussed raising that threshold to $10,000 and exempting payments from payroll processors.

The proposal could be a way to raise revenue that could be used to offset the cost of spending in Democrats’ social safety net package in areas such as child care, education and climate. Treasury estimated that the administration’s proposal would raise about $460 billion over 10 years, and has said that a narrower proposal could raise $200 billion to $250 billion over a decade.

Lefty Protesters Drown Out Jill Biden's Campaign Speech For Democrat Terry McAuliffe
[THEGATEWAYPUNDIT] Far-left protesters interrupted Jill Biden Friday evening while she was stumping for Virginia Democrat gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe.

Protesters began shouting as Jill Biden said she "loves the energy" of the crowd.

’ResistLine3 water protectors’ who oppose the proposed pipeline from Alberta, Canada to Superior, Wisconsin showed up to McAuliffe’s rally and shouted over Jill Biden.

"Stop line 3! Stop line 3!" the protesters chanted.

The protesters repeatedly interrupted Jill Biden as she tried to speak over them: "You can’t drink oil! Keep it in the soil!"

Granholm Grants Interview to Dem Megadonor Donald Sussman's Daughter
[FREEBEACON] Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm
...Former Dem governess of Michigan, Energy Secretary under the Biden administration. She'll likely consider that enough to qualify her for a presidential bid come next election...
set aside time amid the energy crisis for a lengthy Instagram conversation with the daughter of a Democratic megadonor who spent millions of dollars to get President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. You're a lyin' dog-faced pony soldier...
in the White House.

Granholm sat down for an interview last week with Emily Tisch Sussman, the daughter of liberal hedge fund manager Donald Sussman. The liberal financier spent more than nearly anyone in support of Biden's presidential campaign, according to the Center for Responsive Politics, donating more than $23 million in support of Democratic candidates and Red Guards liberal groups during the 2020 cycle alone.

Granholm's interview with Emily Tisch Sussman, hosted by beauty magazine Marie Claire, briefly touched on the secretary's role in the administration but then shifted to the importance of electing progressive Democrats to get through Biden's spending agenda.

"First of all, not to be partisan, but I am part of a Democratic administration, and fortunately we have just bare, but we do have majorities in the House and Senate," Granholm said. "We've got to get this stuff through."

Sussman, whose father runs a hedge fund with billions of assets under management, stressed the importance of strengthening the government social net, noting how hard it is for her generation to get by. "So many of us are in the sandwich generation, taking care of our kids, taking care of our parents," she said.
