Why Didn’t the Media Notice Joe Biden’s ‘Jet Lag’ Sooner?

Addressing questions from reporters at the White House on Wednesday, Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre once again attributed President Joe Biden’s disastrous debate performance to jet lag following travel and a cold.

“He had a schedule that was rigorous, the travel he had to do, going from Italy all the way to the west coast,” said Jean-Pierre. “I think, that can have a toll on anyone, whether you’re 20 or 80.”

Most people don’t get to travel in as much relative comfort as the president of the United States—there’s a bed on Air Force One, after all—but yes, it’s true that travel can be exhausting. To be clear, however, the debate took place a full 12 days after Biden had returned from his trip. Moreover, the fact that the President of the United States is such a demanding job is precisely why voters are so worried about Biden’s advanced age.

The reporters in the room, to their credit, were unimpressed by Jean-Pierre’s attempt to spin the situation and pressed her to address the public’s mounting concerns about Biden’s fitness for office. Several elected Democrats and prominent spokespersons for the party, including Julián Castro and Tim Ryan, have called on Biden to drop out. The Atlantic, The Chicago Tribune, The New York Times, and several of its columnists think he should exit the race. And most importantly, support for Biden is cratering: 74 percent of overall voters now say he is too old to be president, and former President Donald Trump has widened his lead substantially. Vice President Kamala Harris now polls two points better against Trump than Biden does, though Trump is still ahead of her.

But why did it take so long for the mainstream media to pursue this line of inquiry, even as evidence of Biden’s cognitive decline became increasingly obvious? Well before the debate, the American people have consistently expressed a high degree of concern about the president’s ability to serve a second term. Polls dating back to February found that a majority of Democrats and three-quarters of overall voters had serious qualms.

Pandemic Preparedness: Arsonists Run the Fire Department

Imagine if you will, an exceptionally ambitious city Fire Department, located in a city with very few naturally occurring fires.

These ambitious firemen don’t have nearly enough work, prestige, or pay for their liking. Uninterested in simply polishing their trucks, lifting weights, and cooking chili, these firemen want more. A lot more.

They construct a plan. They will start a research program, funded by taxpayers, whereby they will develop an arsenal of the biggest, scariest, most flammable products on earth. They will justify this program under the pretense that these destructive creations are absolutely necessary for the development of bigger and better fire extinguishers. Incidentally, they will also develop, market, and sell these fire extinguishers themselves.

These proprietary fire extinguishers will net the ambitious firemen an incredible fortune – if they can just get every man, woman, and child in the city to buy one.

The Fire Department, working with the corporations that would manufacture their miracle extinguishers, actively publicizes the supposedly tremendous, ever-increasing risk of fires that they claim threaten the population. According to the ambitious firemen, risk factors for worsened fires are everywhere and are ever-increasing – global warming, population growth, take your pick – and the next “big one” is just around the corner. 

Credulous, fearful citizens and heavily lobbied politicians fall for their story, pumping ever more tax dollars into the Fire Department’s research and development program.

The Fire Department develops and grows its stockpile of manufactured fire super-hazards, until one day…

OOPS! 

Somehow, one of the flammable products is released, and a raging conflagration ensues. No one knows exactly how it started – in fact, the chief firemen gather together and publicly deny that any of their products could be responsible. 

But by terrifying the public and confusing the politicians, the firemen coerce the population to shelter in place and follow their strict instructions, lest they perish in the holocaust. After all, the firemen are the experts. 

They heavily promote their special fire extinguishers as the only solution, even managing to get water outlawed for firefighting purposes! (Water wouldn’t work on this kind of fire, they insist. Only the Fire Department’s special extinguishers will suffice.)

Using a huge injection of taxpayer funds, the Fire Department gets their fire extinguishers built in record time, and they hard-sell them to everyone they possibly can. In the meantime, large swaths of the city burn to the ground. And due to the fire extinguishers’ poor design and hasty construction, these devices turn out to be every bit as deadly as the fire, if not worse, for their damaging effects linger long after the fire has burned itself out.

But the firemen and their corporate cronies have secured their fortunes.

The bewildered, traumatized population can’t figure out what happened, any more than the feckless politicians. The Fire Department emerges as the most powerful entity in the city. They resume their “research,” fortified by their growing wealth and power. 

After all, the next big conflagration is just around the corner.

Sound implausible? Think again. Because in the realm of “pandemic preparedness,” the arsonists are running the Fire Department.

FDA advises departing staff how to influence the FDA “behind the scenes” after they’ve left

An investigation published in the BMJ on Monday reveals the “revolving door” between the US Food and Drug Administration and the pharmaceutical industry. FDA employees, including high-level officials, often leave the agency to work for pharmaceutical companies, potentially creating conflicts of interest and raising concerns about the influence of industry on regulatory decisions.

Also revealed by the BMJ investigation, from internal emails, is that staff departing the FDA are given guidance on how to lobby for industry without falling foul of US law which prohibits certain lobbying acts.

Emails obtained in response to a Freedom of Information Act request show how the FDA provides guidance to departing employees on how they can work “behind the scenes” for industry after leaving the agency and, despite restrictions on post-employment lobbying, they are still permitted to influence the agency.

The FDA’s ethics staff proactively informed these departing employees that although US law prohibits certain types of lobbying contact “they do not prohibit the former employee from other activities, including working ‘behind the scenes’.”

15 Secretaries Blow Off Congressional Subpoenas While Subpoena Refusal Lands Trump Adviser In Jail

The New York Times headline seemed to gloat: “Stephen Bannon Reports to Prison After One Final Podcast Episode.” 

“The show will be his last for four months, but the longtime adviser to Donald J. Trump has no intention of surrendering his influence,” the newspaper of record for the Democratic Party and the American left declared in its online subhead on Monday. 

And so the corporate media stories went, reporting on Bannon’s failed attempt to secure an 11th-hour reprieve from the U.S. Supreme Court. Bannon surrendered to federal authorities at a Connecticut federal prison to begin serving his time on contempt charges for defying a congressional subpoena. 

Loathed by the left and ruling-class Republicans, the conservative firebrand became the latest casualty of a two-tiered system of justice in America. 

As Bannon begins his term, 15 cabinet officials in the Biden administration continue to defy congressional subpoenas, and Merrick Garland, the attorney general of the United States, continues to insist he’s above Congress. 

On June 13, U.S. Rep. Bryan Steil, chairman of the Committee on House Administration, issued subpoenas to 15 administration cabinet members seeking documents related to Biden’s constitutionally suspect executive order commanding federal agencies to assist in voter registration and get-out-the-vote campaigns. The agency chiefs failed to comply by Steil’s deadline of June 26.

“Not a single agency has responded with their strategic plan or with any details about the implementation of the EO,” the Wisconsin Republican said in a statement to The Federalist. “Additionally, we know that as many as 40 outside groups assisted and advised the agencies on implementation – we have received nothing on the role these groups played in the design of the strategic plans.” 

Seems like contempt of Congress. Will the cabinet secretaries be bunking with Bannon anytime soon? Don’t count on it. 

What about Garland?

Pfizer purchased companies that produce drugs to treat the same conditions caused by covid vaccines

In 2017 a former vice president of Pfizer blew the whistle and said that pharmaceutical companies intentionally design vaccines to keep the public in a state of illness to profit from the treatments of vaccine-induced illnesses. 

Pfizer’s acquisitions of other pharmaceutical companies since the rollout of its covid vaccine seem to indicate this is indeed the case.

In 2021, Pfizer’s acquisition of Arena Pharmaceuticals raised eyebrows. The purchase price seemed disproportionate to the market size of the drug they acquired – a drug that is a potential therapy for all kinds of immuno-inflammatory diseases, including inflammation of the heart.  As we know, myocarditis began to skyrocket after the rollout of Pfizer’s mRNA vaccines.

In 2023, Pfizer purchased Seagen Pharmaceuticals, known for its cancer drugs.  Was this because of the connection between the mRNA injections and “turbo cancers”?

In 2022, Pfizer purchased Global Blood Therapeutics for its drug to treat sickle cell disease, again for an amount that seemed disproportionate to the profit the company could make off the drug considering how many people have the disease.  Does Pfizer know something we don’t? Will we see a blood cell disease epidemic as well?

The Long Sordid Career of Creepy Joe Biden

I get complaints from people that I concentrate too much on Donald Trump. Basically, the message is, “But what about Biden?” I do write more about Trump, because he’s the face of the perceived opposition. The only Emmanuel Goldstein in town. I assume everyone reading me understands just who and what Joe Biden is.

But people might not remember quite everything about Joe Biden’s lengthy career as a beloved resident of the Washington, D.C. swamp that Trump promised to drain. Biden was first elected as a U.S. Senator from Delaware in 1973. Even I was very young then. In 1981, the great “liberal” senator strongly supported the Intelligence Identities Protection Act, passed in the wake of CIA whistleblower Philip Agee’s disclosures about the Agency is his best-selling book Inside the Company. Biden declared that “I do not think anybody has any doubt about Mr. Agee. We should lock him away in my opinion.” The good senator really liked locking people up, it seems. As a strong supporter of the 1986 Anti-Drug Abuse Act, he took credit for a draconian provision that mandated a five year sentence for possessing small amounts of crack cocaine.

Little did Biden know that, decades later his own troubled son Hunter would be caught with enough crack cocaine to garner a long prison sentence under the original 1986 Act, which was softened a bit in 2010. With every ounce of “liberal” ardor that he could muster, Biden bragged at the time, “If you have a piece of crack cocaine no bigger than this quarter that I’m holding in my hand, one quarter of one dollar, we passed a law — with leadership of Sen. Thurmond and myself and others — a law that says: you’re caught with that, you go to jail for five years. You get no probation, you get nothing, other than five years in jail. Judge doesn’t have a choice.” Senator Biden also authored the horrendous 1994 crime bill which featured “three strike you’re out” and mandatory sentencing, significantly increasing the prison population.

A JFK assassination researcher attended a Joe Biden seminar in 2005. He was able to briefly question Biden about the assassination. As recounted on a discussion forum, this was the short conversation: “Senator Biden, do you believe JFK was killed as a result of a conspiracy?” Answer:  “No.” “So do you believe that Lee Harvey Oswald, alone and unaided, killed President Kennedy?” Answer:  “Yes.” This is hardly surprising, of course, but reflects Biden’s ironclad establishment mindset. In 2019, the American Prospect published a piece headlined, “Joe Biden’s Love Affair With the CIA.” Biden was very helpful to Reagan’s CIA Director William Casey, who praised him in a classified early 1980s memo to his intelligence staff. Biden would state, in a speech at Stanford, that the intelligence community had been compromised by leaks.

Oakland Corruption Scandal: Democrat Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao and Government Officials Allegedly Funded by Sex Trafficking Drug Ring

An FBI raid has exposed a complex web of alleged illicit activities involving high-ranking government officials and a notorious local business in Oakland, California.

Andy Duong, a key member of the Duong family and the self-proclaimed proprietor of the now-defunct Music Cafe, is accused of using the cafe as a front for a sex trafficking and drug operation. This establishment, which also functioned as a karaoke lounge, was linked by state authorities to drug dealing, pimping, and human trafficking before its closure in early 2019, the Mercury News reported.

The recent FBI operations on June 20 encompassed searches at several locations, including the residences of Andy Duong, his father David Duong, Mayor Thao, and the offices of CWS. These raids have brought to light alleged financial dealings and contributions made to various political campaigns in the Oakland and South Bay areas.

The Gateway Pundit previously reported that FBI agents raided a home owned by Democrat Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao. An FBI spokesperson told the press that agents were conducting “court-authorized law enforcement” at Thao’s property.

The focus of the investigation is on David Duong, CEO of California Waste Solutions, and his son, Andy Duong. Both have deep-seated ties to Democratic politicians and businesses, NBC Bay Area reported.

Their business dealings and political connections are under intense scrutiny following evidence that suggests they orchestrated a complex scheme to circumvent campaign finance laws and funnel illegal donations to various Democratic candidates.

A quick look at Andy Duong’s Instagram page reveals frequent posts with high-profile figures in the political world – including President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, Governor Gavin Newsom, Attorney General Rob Bonta, and Health and Human Services Secretary and former state Attorney General Xavier Becerra. The list also includes elected leaders from other states such as Nevada Attorney General Aaron Ford, according to abc7 News.

The US Swine Flu Epidemic That Wasn’t

In July of 2009, amid the national swine flu panic stoked by the CDC, I got two tips from insiders: the CDC had instructed hospitals and states to stop testing for swine flu! Doctors were to presume that any patients who came in with flu-like symptoms had swine flu, or H1N1, and treat them as such without testing them to confirm it.

How strange! both of my sources told me, separately. I had to agree. Why would the CDC not want to collect the best data possible during an outbreak that the agency implied could bring America to its knees? The CDC had already green lighted emergency development and approval of what could be a very lucrative swine flu vaccine.

The CDC’s official rationale for stopping tests was that swine flu had supposedly become so widespread, it was reasonable to save money on tests and just assume everyone who caught something that looked like any sort of flu had the H1N1 variety.

My sources were suspicious.

I remember the words of one of them—a government scientist. He told me, “CDC is either trying to inflate the number of swine flu cases or downplay the number. Your job is to figure out which it is.”

I was stunned by what I discovered. And a CBS News manager short-circuited the resulting story to keep it off of the Evening News.

‘They lie about what’s happening at the border’: Border Patrol Union leaders reiterate they never endorsed Biden

Following President Joe Biden’s claims during the first presidential debate that border patrol had endorsed him for president, the Border Patrol Union has clarified that they have not endorsed Biden and never will. 

During the debate, President Biden spoke about immigration where he claimed that his administration had significantly increased the number of asylum officers. He went on to say that the Border Patrol endorsed him and endorsed his position on border security.  

This statement prompted a strong reaction from the Border Patrol Union, which immediately posted, “To be clear, we never have and never will endorse Biden.” Brandon Judd, president of the Border Patrol Union, appeared on Fox News to set the record straight on Biden’s debate claim and border policies. 

“The border can be secured tomorrow if we would go back, and we would look at the policies that were in place that President Trump built. They were great policies,” Judd said.

Jim Jordan Investigates Stanford Internet Observatory Monitoring Election Speech for 2024

Recently the news arrived that what opponents see as a key linchpin in the government-Big Tech censorship collusion, the Stanford Internet Observatory (SIO), was winding back its operations.

But before it does, the House Judiciary Committee and the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government want to gain access to information requested through a previous subpoena.

On Monday, Chairman Jim Jordan sent a letter to SIO’s legal representative, the main point being the Committee’s desire to make sure that neither SIO, other groups operating as part of the university, nor any group that might succeed SIO will continue with their “disinformation studies” ahead of the 2024 presidential election.

We obtained a copy of the letter for you here.
