    President Joe Biden and his administration are being accused of telegraphing their alleged forthcoming punches against Iran and its terrorist proxy groups in the Middle East after three U.S. soldiers were killed in a terror attack over the weekend.

    Sky News reported Monday afternoon that Biden was preparing to authorize U.S. Military action against those responsible for the attack as early as
    tonight, thus potentially tipping them off.

    Shortly after the suicide drone attack was carried out on Sunday, the Iranian-backed terrorists responsible for the attack evacuated their posts
    and spread out their most valuable equipment in anticipation of U.S. airstrikes.

    Biden officials leaked to Politico on Monday night the targets that Biden is considering:

    Among the options on the table for the Pentagon: striking Iranian
    personnel in Syria or Iraq or Iranian naval assets in the Persian
    Gulf, according to the officials. The Iranian government, for its
    part, has suggested that a strike on Iran itself would be a red
    line. The officials suggested that, once the president gave the
    go-ahead, the retaliation would likely begin in the next couple of
    days and come in waves against a range of targets.

    Rebeccah Heinrichs, senior fellow at Hudson Institute and the director of its Keystone Defense Initiative, slammed the administration for once again
    tipping off the enemy to its plans.

    It is a bizarre habit of this White House to overshare what it is going to
    do to the enemy, she said. It does not appear that it is meant to
    complicate the enemys calculations or make him fear us; instead it seems
    meant to clarify for the enemy and assure him. It would be far better to say nothing at all.

    Why is the WH previewing the attack? https://t.co/Moa6uXjkFG

    For Gods sake: strike hard at Iran to deter further Tehran-backed
    attacks and a war. And stop the leaks and messaging about how
    terrified you are of escalation! @JakeSullivan46

    When Biden finally launched bare minimum retaliatory strikes against Iranian-backed Houthi terrorists in Yemen for disrupting global trade in the Red Sea earlier this month he was accused of warning them in advance of his plans.

    A surprise attack obviously gives us better odds of killing more Houthis, destroying their weapons, and keeping our service members safe. Telegraphing the attack decreases those odds, Heinrichs told The Daily Wire at the time. It is a maddening hallmark of this administrations approach in responding
    to aggression. It seems to think by allaying the fears of our enemies, communicating that we wont hurt them too badly, they wont hit us back
    too much.

    We should be making our enemies fear us, she added. We have the
    overwhelming advantage. We have got to start acting like it or it will keep getting worse.

    New York Democratic Mayor Eric Adams says he is limited in what he can do to address the migrant crisis that has crippled the citys welfare system.

    Adams suggested that New Yorks sanctuary city laws and other policies that have allowed migrants to take advantage of the citys welfare system have curbed his ability to act, according to Fox News.

    Were not just saying were out of room as a soundbite. Were out of room, literally. People are going to be eventually sleeping on the streets, he
    told FOX 5 New Yorks Rosanna Scotto.

    When asked what Adams could do about the flood of migrants entering the city, the mayor demurred. He said the legal system has restricted his options and forced his decisions on key issues.

    The law states that we cannot notify [Immigration and Customs Enforcement].
    I cannot break the law and enforce the law. I cant deport. I cant stop
    people from coming in, repeated criminal behavior, I cant report to ICE for deportation. So, theres certain things I cant do, Adams responded.

    Adams said the migrant crisis that is straining the citys infrastructure is unfair to New Yorkers.

    Our hearts are endless, but our resources are not, Adams said. Its not
    like New York is not saying we are not a city of immigrants. We are. We have
    a rich history of immigrants, but we cant take the global problem and it become our problem. That is unfair to New Yorkers, and is unfair to
    migrants.

    Adams was hit with a lawsuit on Wednesday as New York City has struggled to house tens of thousands of homeless immigrants. A new law, put in place after the city council overrode a veto from Adams, expands the citys housing
    voucher program as thousands of people are looking for space in the citys shelters, according to The New York Times.

    Legal Aid Society, a group that represents low-income New Yorkers, filed a class action lawsuit against Adams accusing the mayor of not expanding the voucher program as the new law requires.

    The Adams administrations refusal to implement the law is unacceptable, and the City must take immediate action to ensure that the thousands of New
    Yorkers who are experiencing or are on the brink of homelessness and who are now eligible for CityFHEPS can secure safe, long-term and affordable
    housing, Legal Aid attorney Robert Desir stated.

    Adams said in a press conference on Tuesday that the city cannot afford to
    pay for the reforms to the expanded voucher program.

    The myriad of gaffes by President Joe Biden has nothing to do with his
    brain, a veteran Democrat in Congress said on Saturday as he pointed to Bidens lifelong fight to overcome a stutter.

    Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-SC), a co-chair of Bidens re-election campaign, defended the 81-year-old president during an interview on CNN as polls show up to 86%
    of Americans believe Biden is too old to serve a second term in the White House.

    If Joe Biden commits a gaffe, a guy who stuttered all of his childhood, into his adulthood and everybody knows his stuttering is what caused a lot of his speech impediments, and we know that. It has nothing to do with his brain, he stumbles one time and everybody says, Hes too old to be the president,' Clyburn said.

    The congressman then alluded to the release last week of a new survey of historians who ranked all the presidents from best to worst, placing Biden in 14 place and Trump in last place.

    Look, we had a president of these United States, I saw the rankings the
    other day, who was in the top ten, and some people got him in the top three: Franklin Roosevelt was in a wheelchair. It didnt bother his brand, Clyburn said.

    Fresh questions about Bidens ability to lead effectively were spurred by
    this months release of a report by special counsel Robert Hur that
    criticized Bidens handling of classified documents. Although Hur did not recommend charges, the report added that Biden exhibited memory problems that likely would preclude a jury from convicting him.

    Biden responded to Hurs findings in an impromptu press conference during
    which he insisted that his memory was fine and then mixed up world leaders. In the days leading up to the reports unveiling, Biden made headlines for talking about discussions with European heads of state who had died by the
    time he said the conversations took place.

    Clyburn suggested former President Donald Trump, who is also running for re- election, does not get the same amount of press as Biden when it comes to gaffes or meandering remarks.

    Although polls do not reflect as much concern about the age of 77-year-old Trump, Clyburn insisted, Theres something wrong with Trump, and we noticed something wrong with Trump.

    Everybody. There's only one president that has been indicted and found liable for rape.

    And Biden has gotten more legislation passed for people than any
    president since FDR.

    As if "more laws" is a badge of honor that we should admire him for.

    We already have plenty of laws.** Other than recurring issues like
    budgetary funding, Congress could take a decade off and that'd be just
    fine with me. In fact, we should double their salaries if they'll just
    stay home. It would save taxpayers untold billions.

    **If the Code of Federal Regulations and the US Code were printed out in
    hard copy in their entirety, it would take several semi-trucks to move
    them.

    This is what happens when "passing more laws" is used as the benchmark
    for a politician's success:

    40 USC 8103(b)(5) makes it a federal crime to take government-
    owned gravel.

    21 USC 343(g), 333 & 21 CFR 131.25 make it a federal crime to sell
    "whipped cream" unless it was made by whipping cream.

    16 USC 707 & 50 CFR 21.29(f)(9)(ii) make it a federal crime for a
    falconer to use a falcon to advertise products, except falconry
    products.

    21 USC 333 & 21 CFR 145.180(b)(1)(ii)(c) make it a crime to sell
    canned pineapple if more than 10% of slices have an arc of less than
    90 degrees.

    16 USC 705 & W. Va. Code 20-2-5(4) make it a federal crime to take a
    turkey that was killed by a drone in West Virginia to any other state

    15 USC 69i & 16 CFR 301.7 make it a federal crime to sell one
    animal's fur described with two animal names, like "chinchilla
    rabbit".

    18 USC 1865 & 36 CFR 2.15(a)(4) make it a federal crime to let your
    pet make a noise that scares the wildlife in a national park.

    18 USC 1865 & 36 CFR 7.96(b)(1) make it a federal crime to play
    croquet without a croquet permit in any national park in
    Washington, DC.

    Really? A "croquet permit"? This is a federal issue worthy of
    congressional legislation?

    15 USC 69b, 69i & 16 CFR 301.11 make it a federal crime to sell a
    fur product labeled as the fur of a fictitious or non-existant
    animal.

    So basically you can go to federal prison for selling a Chewbacca
    costume? Our government really felt the need to impose that on us.

    Note that these aren't just civil regulatory violations, but *crimes*.
    You can go to prison for doing these ridiculous things. These are laws
    that they tell us we really need to function in a supposedly free
    society. Who knows where we'd be if we didn't have those vitally
    important federal croquet regulations that are literally maintaining the
    very fabric of our republic.

    No, Biden is hardly a hero for "getting more laws passed since FDR".
    (Hell, half of FDR's laws were unconstitutional. He had to blackmail the Supreme Court to get them to stop pointing that out.)

    people.

    Now do Trump. Do you suppose Biden will ever refer to his wife as
    "Mercedes" also?

    Already been fact-checked false, Hutt, you filthy shitmonkey.

    Trump made the comment at CPAC and was referring to Mercedes Schlapp who
    was present at the time. Trump commented on how audiences love his wife
    Melania when she gets standing ovations and then turned and addressed
    Schlapp when he said "Mercedes".

    Biden, on the other hand, confused his wife and his sister during a
    primary speech in 2020. He introduced DOCTOR Jill as his "little sister Valerie".

    In the days leading up to the report's unveiling, Biden made headlines for
    talking about discussions with European heads of state who had died by the

    But it's just a stutter, guys!


    A stutter that causes speech impediments.

    I just needed to see that again.

    Stuttering *is* a speech impediment.

    Exactly.

    Okay. But who claimed that stuttering causes speech impediments?

    Thanks. Yeah, I’m not sure at this point who the source was, might’ve been the reporter that wrote the article. It was just such a stupid thing to

    And of course, there’s a potential double meaning to both the words “speech” and “impediment“ in this context.

    Gee, who could have seen that coming?

    Everybody. There's only one president that has been indicted and found
    liable for rape.

    And Biden has gotten more legislation passed for people than any
    president since FDR.

    As if "more laws" is a badge of honor that we should admire him for.


    Great point. How about historic low unemployment? How about saving an
    economy that was spiraling downward towards recession because of Trump
    and his cabinet of far more than three stooges? Do either of these
    resonate with your white supremacist lizard brain? How about we try
    lowering drug costs, particularly insulin? Still no? How about
    forgiving hopelessly unfair student debt for needy Americans? Still too
    lizard and/or hare brained? You might want to consider that you
    yourself is the problem.


    We already have plenty of laws.** Other than recurring issues like
    budgetary funding, Congress could take a decade off and that'd be just
    fine with me. In fact, we should double their salaries if they'll just
    stay home. It would save taxpayers untold billions.

    **If the Code of Federal Regulations and the US Code were printed out in
    hard copy in their entirety, it would take several semi-trucks to move
    them.

    This is what happens when "passing more laws" is used as the benchmark
    for a politician's success:

    40 USC 8103(b)(5) makes it a federal crime to take government-
    owned gravel.

    21 USC 343(g), 333 & 21 CFR 131.25 make it a federal crime to sell
    "whipped cream" unless it was made by whipping cream.

    16 USC 707 & 50 CFR 21.29(f)(9)(ii) make it a federal crime for a
    falconer to use a falcon to advertise products, except falconry
    products.

    21 USC 333 & 21 CFR 145.180(b)(1)(ii)(c) make it a crime to sell
    canned pineapple if more than 10% of slices have an arc of less than
    90 degrees.

    16 USC 705 & W. Va. Code 20-2-5(4) make it a federal crime to take a
    turkey that was killed by a drone in West Virginia to any other state

    15 USC 69i & 16 CFR 301.7 make it a federal crime to sell one
    animal's fur described with two animal names, like "chinchilla
    rabbit".

    18 USC 1865 & 36 CFR 2.15(a)(4) make it a federal crime to let your
    pet make a noise that scares the wildlife in a national park.

    18 USC 1865 & 36 CFR 7.96(b)(1) make it a federal crime to play
    croquet without a croquet permit in any national park in
    Washington, DC.

    Really? A "croquet permit"? This is a federal issue worthy of
    congressional legislation?

    15 USC 69b, 69i & 16 CFR 301.11 make it a federal crime to sell a
    fur product labeled as the fur of a fictitious or non-existant
    animal.

    So basically you can go to federal prison for selling a Chewbacca
    costume? Our government really felt the need to impose that on us.

    Note that these aren't just civil regulatory violations, but *crimes*.
    You can go to prison for doing these ridiculous things. These are laws
    that they tell us we really need to function in a supposedly free
    society. Who knows where we'd be if we didn't have those vitally
    important federal croquet regulations that are literally maintaining the
    very fabric of our republic.

    No, Biden is hardly a hero for "getting more laws passed since FDR".
    (Hell, half of FDR's laws were unconstitutional. He had to blackmail the Supreme Court to get them to stop pointing that out.)

    President Joe Bidens sole contribution to the Supreme Court Justice
    Ketanji Brown Jackson made headlines during her confirmation hearing when
    she failed to define the word woman.

    On Monday, she made headlines again this time because during oral arguments in the social media censorship case Murthy v. Missouri, she voiced concerns over the fact that the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was doing exactly what it was designed to do: restraining the federal government.

    WATCH:

    KBJ doubles down: My biggest concern is that your view has the
    First Amendment hamstringing the government in significant ways.

    That is, quite literally, the entire point of the First Amendmentof
    the entire Bill of Rights.
    pic.twitter.com/gWMCaHDG1W

    System Update (@SystemUpdate_) March 18, 2024

    Speaking to Louisiana Solicitor General Benjamin Aguiaga, Jackson said, My biggest concern is that your view has the First Amendment hamstringing the government in significant ways in the most important time periods.

    She went on to suggest that she believed there were occasions when government should have the power and, in fact, had a duty to dictate what could and could not be posted on social media, and she worried that a strict reading
    of the First Amendment could threaten to rein that in.

    You seem to be suggesting that that duty cannot manifest itself in the government encouraging or even pressuring platforms to take down harmful information. So, can you help me? Jackson continued. Because Im really worried about that because youve got the First Amendment operating in an environment of threatening circumstances, from the governments perspective, and youre saying that the government cant interact with the source of those problems.

    Our position is not that the government cant interact with the platforms there. They can and they should in certain circumstances like that, that present such dangerous issues for society and especially young people. But
    the way they do that has to be in compliance with the First Amendment. And I think that means they can give them all the true information that the
    platform needs and ask to amplify that, Aguiaga replied.

    Jackson was not quite finished, however, and she argued that certain
    situations such as the COVID pandemic warranted the government stepping

    Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) responded to Jacksons assessment, noting that in the case of the pandemic, the information the government had suppressed had
    turned out to be accurate and pointing out that her chief complaint about
    the First Amendment appeared to be that it was working as the Founders had intended it to.

    She said youve got the First Amendment hamstringing the government. Well, thats what its supposed to do, for goodness sake. It was literally one of
    the craziest things Ive ever seen, that you could have a Supreme Court
    Justice say that in the oral argument made no sense to me, Jordan said.
    That is frightening because if she really believes that, that is scary where we are heading. Understand what took place here. This was censorship by surrogate. This was big government telling big tech to take down speech that they disagreed with, and it was the most fundamental kind of speech. It was political speech.

    White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre became agitated during an interview on Monday and hung up the phone after she was asked a couple of
    fair questions about President Joe Biden.

    KJP lost her cool during an interview with Charlottes WBT News Director Mark Garrison during a live radio interview after Garrison asked her about Bidens mental fitness for office and the high costs of everyday products.

    When I told a number of people that I was talking to you today, it was interesting, though, they all said, would you please just ask her, does the president have dementia? So before I move on from that, does he? Garrison asked.

    That Mark, Mark, I cant even believe youre asking me this question. That
    is a credibly offensive question to ask, she fired back.

    But, you know people ask it, Garrison responded.

    Wait. Oh let me no, no, no, no, no. You Mark, you, you, you, you, youre taking us down this rabbit hole. Let me, let me, let me be very clear about this, KJP responded.

    For the past several years, the presidents physician has laid out very, in
    a comprehensive way, the presidents health, she said. This is a president
    if you watch him every day, if you really pay attention to his record and what he has done, you will see exactly how focused hes been on the American people, how historic his actions have been. And so Im not even going to
    truly, truly, really, you know, take, take the premise of your question. I think it is incredibly insulting. And, and so we can, you know, we can move
    on to the next question.

    Garrison then mentioned the high costs of groceries and gas and asked how
    does Biden win votes when people are struggling to make ends meet.

    Look, the president understands. He grew up in a middle-class family,
    working class family in Scranton, Pennsylvania. He gets it, she claimed. He understands how difficult it is for Americans who are sitting around their kitchen table every month trying to figure out what theyre going to pay for. You have to remember, when the president walked into this administration,
    there were multiple crises happening. There was COVID, there was, the economy was in a tailspin because of the last administration, because of what the President Trump left us with.

    Now youre asking me about gas prices, she continued. The president took action on gas prices. Lets not forget Russias invasion on Ukraine
    skyrocketed prices of gas. And because the president took action, we see we
    are in a different place than we were a year ago in gas prices. Eggs, milk, seafood products, all the important groceries, those costs have gone down because of what this president has been able to do. And, and with that, thank you so much, Mark. Have an amazing, amazing day.

    KJP then abruptly hung up the phone as the line went to a dial tone.

    Wow! Garrison responded. Wow!

    And why do they ask it? Because every week brings another example of him
    being half-dead. We can see it with our eyes and no amount of
    gaslighting from Biden's diversity-hire spokeshole will convince us
    otherwise.

    Wait. Oh let me-- no, no, no, no, no. You-- Mark, you, you, you, you, you're taking us down this rabbit hole. Let me, let me, let me be very clear about this," KJP responded. "For the past several years, the president's physician has laid out very, in a comprehensive way, the president's health," she said.

    But every time he takes a physical, she's asked if he also took a mental
    acuity test and she says no, because he doesn't need it.

    So bringing up his physicals is a way of dodging the question. It
    doesn't matter how good his heart is if his brain is Swiss cheese. And
    the real reason they don't want him to take a mental acuity test is
    because if he does, that becomes part of the official records and is
    FOIA-able and the last thing they want is an official document making
    the rounds that says he has the mind of a 5-year-old.

    "This is a president-- if you watch him every day, if you really pay attention to his record and what he has done, you will see exactly how focused he's been on the American people

    No, it means someone else in the White House-- probably his wife and
    chief of staff-- have been focused while he sits in the corner slurping
    pudding and watching the birds outside on the lawn.

    And so I'm not even going to truly, truly, really, you know, take, take
    the premise of your question. I think it is incredibly insulting. And and
    so we can, you know, we can move on to the next question."

    More gaslighting and outright lying. I was at the grocery store last
    night and bought both eggs and milk. The prices have most certainly NOT
    gone down. They were more expensive than ever. I bought six items, not
    even enough to fill one paper bag, and the bill was north of $50.

    And with that, thank you so much, Mark. Have an amazing, amazing day."

    KJP then abruptly hung up the phone as the line went to a dial tone.

    This is what this woman does all the time. If you ask her any question
    that forces her to tell bald-face lies to cover for her boss, she just
    bails.

    "Wow!" Garrison responded. "Wow!"

    The Biden administrations Department of the Interior (DOI) is set to
    celebrate transgender day of visibility with a screening of a documentary about LGBT inclusion in marine biology, an internal email obtained by The
    Daily Wire reveals.

    The department, tasked with the management and conservation of federal land, announced that it would host a screening of Diving for Rays: A Queer Conservationists Story in an employee digest email sent on March 26th that was obtained exclusively by The Daily Wire

    Transgender Day of Visibility is an internationally recognized event that is celebrated annually on March 31st to help raise awareness and increase understanding of the challenges, importance and struggles of our transgender, non-binary and gender non-conforming communities, the email reads. The Department will mark this important occasion by showing a short documentary called Diving for Rays: A Queer Conservationists Story.


    The documentary that Interior is screening in celebration of transgenderism details the experiences of Nicole Morris, a native of San Diego, California
    who complains that the field of marine biology is saturated with straight
    men.

    After realizing the lack of LGBTQ+ visibility in marine science led her to abandon her childhood dream, Nicole Morris decided to re-route her life path
    to try and become a marine biologist, to conserve endangered rays, a description of the film, posted to the National Park Service website reads.

    All I was ever exposed to were documentaries that had the perspectives of straight men, Morris bemoans in the documentary. As I got older it became harder and harder to imagine myself in those films, she says before later adding, So I had to ask myself was marine science something that a queer woman could do?

    The film screening comes as President Joe Biden has directed the entire
    federal bureaucracy to push leftist gender ideology and the diversity,
    equity, and inclusion (DEI) agenda. Biden most recently reaffirmed his commitment to far-left dogmas by declaring Easter Sunday as Transgender Day
    of Visibility, a move that was widely condemned by his critics.

    On Transgender Day of Visibility, we celebrate the joy, strength, and
    absolute courage of some of the bravest people I know.

    Today, we show millions of transgender and nonbinary Americans that
    we see them, they belong, and they should be treated with dignity
    and respect. pic.twitter.com/mhixHV9KC2

    Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) March 31, 2024

    The film details Morris journey to becoming a marine conservationist, with
    her learning how to scuba dive before later being accepted into a graduate school program.

    I think getting scuba certified helped me to finally see myself for the
    first time. That helped me to see myself as both a marine conservationist and as a queer woman, she says at one point in the 22-minute long documentary.
    I like to think that even though I might be different from most marine conservationists, my perspective as a queer woman in science is just as important.

    I am fully out and I am fully proud and I am a queer marine
    conservationist, Morris says at the end of the film.

    An Interior spokesman told The Daily Wire that the screening is not
    mandatory, though he did not answer questions pertaining to the cost of the screening.

    Following the documentary, there will be a question-and-answer session with the filmmaker, Nova, West, and a panel of representatives from multiple LGBTQIA+ Employee Resource Groups from the U.S. Geological Survey, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, U.S. Bureau of Land Management, and the National Park Service, the email also states.

    The email suggests that the screening was organized by Tristian Edgarian, who leads Interiors LGBTQ Employee Resource Group along with James Mosley. The film screening comes as the wider federal bureaucracy has embraced far-left views on both gender and race, institutionalizing ideology into their
    practices and initiatives.

    Even the intelligence community has pushed far-left dogmas under the Biden administration. A recent Daily Wire investigation revealed that the Office of the Director of National Intelligence sent out a DEI newsletter to the entire intelligence community, including the FBI, CIA, and DOJ, instructing agents
    to avoid using problematic phrases when discussing Islamic terrorism. The same DEI document also featured an article from an anonymous intelligence official who claimed that crossdressing makes him a better intelligence officer.

    DEI trainings have become commonplace throughout the federal bureaucracy,
    with the Internal Revenue Service hosting a mandatory training for criminal investigators that pulled material from a radical transgender academic who called for the death of whiteness in an article titled Dead Honky.

    Trump has signaled that he will take steps to gut the administrative state if he is reelected, using tools like Schedule F, an executive order, to strip civil service employment protections from bureaucrats who have influence over the policy-making process.

    We will pass critical reforms making every executive branch employee
    fireable by the president of the United States, Trump said at a rally,
    touting the plan. The deep state must be brought to heel.

    Which to me is ridiculous.

    Scientifically the value of her work is how it's evaluated by her
    profefssional peers, not her gender identity.

    While I appreciate the sciences used to be an all-male domain that was
    then this is now and hasn't been the case for a very long time.

    So my response to the question in the last line of your quote is "of

    Yeah, I never understood why people feel the need to have someone to
    look up to in that field that they want to enter. I never considered a
    career because of who was in it. Only if I was interested in doing
    that for a lifetime and could I earn a living. I didn't know anyone in
    my first choice of a field (Chemical Engineering) and still can't name
    anyone in it.

    Now the career I did choose had a fair number of women in it (at least
    at the schools I went to) from the beginning. So clearly women didn't
    feel that they had to know some female computer science person before
    entering the field.

    Scientifically the value of her work is how it's evaluated by her >profefssional peers, not her gender identity.

    That's true, but I will acknowledge that depending on where you are
    you can run into sexism that could work against her. Not everywhere,
    by any means, but the stories are out there.
