Biden calls Volodymyr Zelenskyy 'President Putin' on world stage
[FoxNews] Biden mixed up Volodymyr Zelenskyy with Russian President Vladimir Putin at the NATO summit.
Senility is hard on all,not just the one suffering from it.

This is what a 'big boy' press conference looks like: Two teleprompt screens, a list of vetted journalists and press aides with microphones, ready to silence tricky questions.

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Biden flubs lines, meanders and makes excruciating gaffe in 'big boy' press conference with help from a teleprompter and a cheat sheet of reporters that leaves him fighting for his political life
  • President Joe Biden appeared for a survive-or-die press conference Thursday

  • He did enough to fight another day despite flubbed lines and a raspy voice

Economy
California Fast Food Franchisees Forced to Cut Employees' Hours due to $20 Minimum Wage
[BREITBART] Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, fast food franchise owners are being forced to cut their employees’ hours following Gov. Gavin can't be Bee'd Newsom
...mayor of San Francisco as it transformed itself into Poopville, currently governor of California as it transforms itself into Cinderland...
’s (D) $20 minimum wage law, which went into effect in April.

Lawrence Cheng, whose family owns several Wendy’s restaurants in southern California, has had to fill in behind the register to make up for the dramatic cuts, he told the News Agency that Dare Not be Named.

While he used to have "nearly a dozen employees" working the afternoon shift at his Fountain Valley location, he is reportedly down to just seven per shift.

"We kind of just cut where we can," Cheng told the outlet. "I schedule one less person, and then I come in for that time that I didn’t schedule and I work that hour."

Before Newsom’s mandate, he was paying his 250 workers $16 an hour. Now, the only way he can keep up with paying them $20 is to simply have them work fewer hours.

Cheng also said he had to raise menu prices by about 8 percent three months before the law went into effect to offset the increased costs.

SAVE Act Passes House 221-198 — Almost Every Democrat Voted to 'Protect' the Ability of Illegals to Vote in Federal Elections
[THEGATEWAYPUNDIT] The SAVE Act — which requires proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections — passed the House 221-198 on Wednesday.

Nearly every Democrat politician voted to protect the ability of illegals to vote in federal elections.

This is after Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. We get to suffer the consequences...
flooded the US with more than 15 million illegal aliens.

The White House issued a statement on Monday, condemning a House Republicans’ bill requiring proof of citizenship when registering to vote in federal elections.

The bill amends the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 to require voters to show documentary proof of United States citizenship. Under current law, states can only require proof of citizenship to register to vote in local and state elections.

Biden Aside, the Regime Media Is Toast Too (excerpt)
[TOWNHALL] ... There is no good outcome for them. There is only a good outcome for us, assuming our enemies around the world don’t use the incompetence of the White House as an excuse to nuke us. As I have said many times before, we are not the target of these revelations. All these revelations do is confirm what we’ve known through all the various regime media lie-cycles over the past decade. Remember the Russiagate lie? They gave each other Pulitzers over that one. Remember how Covid wasn’t brewed up in a Wuhan lab, and to so say it was anything but contagious pangolins was racist? Remember how Hunter‘s laptop was Russian disinformation – 51 bureaucratic hacks said so, dammit!

No, we conservatives know that if the media is talking, the regime media is lying in the service of the Democratic Party. But normal people don’t, or at least they didn’t until debate night. Normal people don’t go through life following these issues. Normal people go through life having actual lives. Every once in a while, politics intrudes on them because they’re good citizens, and they feel that they should at least pay a little bit of attention to politics around election time. And, unfortunately for Joe Biden, they paid attention when he challenged Donald Trump to walk into an ambush and ended up staggering out mortally wounded.

You couldn’t ask for a better humiliation for the regime media, which has no real choice but to fall back on “Gosh, can you believe those people in the Biden administration lied to us? What a bunch of rascals they are!” Their shameless finger-pointing is hilarious. It’s delightful to remind the Jake Tappers and Peter Bakers and Tater Stelter that if you have been reading Townhall, you knew the truth, and if you had been watching/reading CNN, the New York Times, or the Potato Post, you were utterly ignorant and misinformed.

'I'm the most qualified person to run for president,' says Biden
[GEO.TV] US 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...
defiantly insisted Thursday that he will run for another term and win, as a series of verbal gaffes while leading a major summit threw a harsh new spotlight on his fitness.

The 81-year-old president sought to show himself in command as he led the NATO
...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A cautionary tale of cost-benefit analysis....
summit in Washington two weeks after a disastrous debate performance raised fears among Democrats
...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy, white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects...
that he may lose to Donald Trump
...Oh, noze! Not him!...
.

But Biden mistakenly introduced Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky as his Russian foe Vladimir Putin
...President-for-Life of Russia. He gets along well with other presidents for life. He is credited with bringing political stability and re-establishing something like the rule of law, which occasionally results in somebody dropping dead from poisoning by polonium or other interesting substance. Under Putin, a new group of business magnates controlling significant swathes of Russia's economy has emerged, all of whom have close personal ties to him. The old bunch, without close personal ties to Putin, are in jail or in exile or dead from poisoning by polonium or other interesting substances...
before quickly correcting himself.

At a high-stakes evening news conference afterward, Biden mistakenly referred to "Vice President" Trump.

But he vowed to stay in the race.

"I think I'm the most qualified person to run for president. I beat him once, and I will beat him again," Biden said of Trump.

Biden, already the oldest person to be elected the first time to the White House, said he was "not in this for my legacy" but to "complete the job I started."

Biden has faced a steady drumbeat of Democrats calling for him to abandon his 2024 candidacy, fearing that Trump is in a position to beat him.

Biden made clear he supported Harris - who as vice president would take over from him, but is also seen by a growing number of Democrats as a stronger candidate at the top of the ticket.

Biden said he would not have picked Kámala Harris
Former Oakland mayor Willie Brown's former mistress, then a senatrix from California former 2020 Dem presidential hopeful, and Joe Biden's wing nut...
, whom he accidentally referred to as Trump, if "she was not qualified to be president."

He also denied reports that he needed to go to bed by 8 pm, a time at which he was still holding his news conference on Thursday.

"Instead of my every day starting at 7:00 am and going to bed at midnight, it would be smarter for me to pace myself a little more," Biden said.

Mediaite Caught Lying in Blatant Distortion of Transcript of J.D. Vance Interview in Effort to Interfere in Donald Trump's Veepstakes
[BREITBART] Mediaite, a leftist publication, has been caught lying in a blatant distortion of a transcript of an interview that now-Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) did years ago on MSNBC in an obvious attempt to interfere in former President Donald Trump
...Perhaps no man has ever had as much fun being president of the US...
’s vice presidential selection process.

The left-leaning anti-Trump publication ran a headline on Wednesday as part of the globalists’ last-ditch effort to stop Vance from getting selected as Trump’s running mate in the 2024 presidential election that, if true, would certainly make heads in Trump world turn: "JD Vance Said He Believes Trump’s Sexual Assault Accuser in Unearthed Interview."

The problem with Mediaite’s headline — and its story — is that this is not an accurate reflection of what Vance said in a 2016 interview with then-MSNBC host Chris My Thigh is Tingling! Matthews
... the late Tip O'Neill's former gopher who has magazines with centerfolds of Barack Obama in his bathroom...
The actual transcript of the MSNBC interview from the October 12, 2016, Hardball show — which has hardly been "unearthed," for what it is worth, as it is literally on the MSNBC website for anyone to find, but that is beside the point — shows Matthews playing a clip of Jessica Leeds, a woman who accused Trump of groping her, and then asking Vance for reaction.

Here is Matthews’s exact question: "What do you think of this? This is something, it’s sort of interesting evocative of the time because of the time because we used to say stewardess first of all. That was a flight attendant. It just gives us a sense of history. But this woman is not a showoff. She’s just telling what happened so we can know it."

Here is Vance’s exact response: "Yes, yes. And it’s sort of — — it makes me think that at fundamental, this is sort of he said/she said, right? And at the end of the day, do you believe Donald Trump who always tells the truth? Just kidding, or do you believe that woman on the tape? And I —"

That is the end of the exchange. Vance literally said in his response that this was a "he said/she said" disagreement and questioned which person between the two people — Trump or Leeds — someone should believe.

Vance’s argument, for whatever it is worth, was far more pro-Trump than most MSNBC guests at the time, even though he was still a Trump critic back then. His conversion from critic to strong supporter of Trump is a widely known story, but the notion he was saying, as Mediaite claimed in this headline, that he believed the accuser is just not true because that is not what he said.

Where things get particularly interesting is that the author of the piece, Colby Hall, first off, did not, per multiple sources familiar with the matter, reach out to Vance’s team for comment ahead of time on the story. While it is a publicly available transcript on MSNBC’s website, Hall did not even include the video of the interview for the story, and mischaracterizing Vance’s comments like this is a significant development. What is more, in non-off-record conversations with Vance’s staff after the publication of the story, Hall admitted that headlines are not the full story — he literally told, per communications reviewed by Breitbart News, a Vance staffer that he "surmised" what he thought Vance meant to write the headline on this piece rather than accurately letting Vance’s word speak for themselves.

… a 3 minute call from President Biden to
@TDEM

@ChiefKidd
. Chief Kidd was sitting next to me as we waited for the president’s call. I spoke to the president from 11:49 a.m. to 11:52 a.m. on Chief Kidd’s phone.

The reason they called Chief Kidd was puzzling to me since they had just been given my cell phone number.
@FEMA
had called a TDEM employee roughly 10 minutes before my call with the president asking for my personal phone number. My team gave FEMA my cell number and my chief of staff’s phone number. Yet, the president still called Chief Kidd’s phone 10 minutes later instead of calling of me.

I spent all weekend working alongside FEMA employees at the State Operations Center in Austin. They are good men and women, but they never said the president was trying to reach me.

The president could have simply called his own FEMA employees who were working with me for 3 days before, during, and after the hurricane. If they wanted to find me, I was easily found. I was where I was supposed to be, at the state operations center, day and night, in plain sight.

Gov. Abbott did not hear from the president during Hurricane Beryl either. Gov. Abbott tweeted that the president has his phone number and called him as recently as Memorial Day. But, he did not call Abbott either during the hurricane.

To suggest that the president could not find me or the governor is ridiculous. The bottom line is this: I asked for a federal disaster declaration at the proper time without delay and the president agreed. Sadly, President Biden is attacking Gov. Abbott and me, trying to score political points, for reasons that make no sense. Mr. President, as you like to say, “C’mon, man!” #txlege

Trump's ex-wife Marla Maples stands by former president, ready to help his campaign
[NYPOST] Donald Trump
...Oh, noze! Not him!...
’s ex-wife Marla Maples revealed in a rare interview that she’s willing to help the former president’s 2024 campaign — and is even "open" to being his vice president.
Yeahhhhhh. No
"I’m ready. I am available if needed and I’m not sitting back anymore," Maples, who just turned 60, told the Evening Standard in her first interview in eight years.

"I want to step out more, share more and not be afraid of positive or negative outcomes that come from speaking out," she added.

Maples, who shares daughter Tiffany Trump with the former commander-in-chief, said her willingness to help Trump’s second White House bid has not been affected by her ex-husband’s legal troubles.

Biden Floods Ohio Town with 20,000 Haitian Migrants: Ten to a Bedroom
[BREITBART] Residents of the west-central town of Springfield, Ohio, are demanding that their city council do something to stem the tide of the Haitian immigrants colonists that have flooded the city, especially in the aftermath of the death of a child in a school bus accident caused by a migrant driving illegally.

The town situated just west of the state capitol in Columbus has been a target of Haitian immigrants colonists at least since 2014, and in the ensuing years, some ten thousand had moved to the Rust Belt town. But in the last four years alone, that population has ballooned to more than 20,000. The influx is causing serious pressures to mount on the town.

Ohio’s Republican U.S. Sen. J.D. Vance put the blame for the mounting problems squarely on the Biden administration, which is causing small towns all across the country to suffer just like Springfield.

"This self-imposed disaster is crushing the job prospects of our citizens, making it more difficult for Ohio families to find homes and draining social service programs funded by American taxpayers," Vance told the media. "People who are here illegally should be sent back to their home countries as soon as possible, and individuals here on temporary status should not expect to stay indefinitely."

The explosion of immigrants colonists — many of whom do not speak English — has placed serious burdens on the town. Town services are being stretched thin, and costs for translating services, housing, and legal services have become a major expense.

For a few years, longtime residents were unbothered by the growing Haitian community, but over time, festivities have begun to occur as Haitians have become more obtrusive by driving illegally, piling into apartments and homes by the dozens, filling local schools with children who need special care in education and language services, and increasingly becoming a focus for government spending.

#2  Next county over. I do my best not to go near there anymore. Springfield was a Rustbelt poster child before this. Now it’s simply too dangerous to consider driving through if avoidable.

#5  That's like an 18% increase.

Hey, doing an inflation joke, wise guys?

#6  Did you know?

Clark County, Ohio went 60% to 37% Trump over Biden in 2020?

-Gets a crayon and a placemat-

OK, say 2/3 are voting eligible, 89760, of that number, half don't vote, 44880, 60/40 split is 26928/17952 is a difference of 8,976.

#7  Curiouser and curiouser;
You can find stats for all sorts of stuff, population, income, vocation, so forth, every year dating back to 1980, including a steadily declining population - but for some reason stats end at 2020.

#8  Ohio is getting weird. The state now offers paperwork in English, Spanish and Somali.

#9  Why Somali? According to the World Population Review, the current Somali population of Ohio is 21,051.

From the same site, the Russian population is 63,112.
