(FreedomWire.org) – House Speaker Nancy Pelosi spoke at the opening session of the elite 2022 Aspen Ideas Climate Conference in Miami. While on stage, Pelosi referred to the Republican Party as a ‘”cult.”

“You don’t want me to get too political here, do you?” Pelosi asked the audience.

“I mean, the fossil fuel industry, they weigh in so significantly,” she continued. “I mean, how could it be that nobody in the Senate cares about climate?”

Pelosi continued, “So rather than saying, ‘Well, we have to defeat them,’ no, let’s just try to persuade them. I want the Republican party to take back the party, take it back to where you were when you cared about a woman’s right to choose, you cared about the environment.”

“Hey, here I am, Nancy Pelosi, saying this country needs a strong Republican party, and we do, not a cult, but a strong Republican party.”

Pelosi has branded the GOP a cult before in the past. In 2020 she said Republicans had been “highjacked” by a “cult-like group of people and others who are afraid of defying the cult leader,” referring to President Donald Trump.

(FreedomWire.org) – Valerie Biden Owens, the sister of President Joe Biden, was recently on Good Morning Britain. During her interview she invited Meghan Markle to join the Democratic Party, and said Meghan would “of course” make a good candidate for the US Presidency.

Valerie Biden Owens, 76, said that the Duchess of Sussex would be “welcome to come in and join the Democratic Party,” adding that it was key to have more women in politics.

The Biden family have had a close relationship with Prince Harry for the last 10 years.  Reports have claimed that Markle has been networking among senior Democrats with a view of building a campaign and starting a career in politics. 

Owens stated, “It’s wonderful to have women in politics. The more women we have the better our democratic system will work. We welcome her to come in and join the Democratic Party.”

When asked if she thought the Duchess would make a good potential candidate for President one day, Owens said, “Yes, perhaps. Of course she will.”

Owens, was also asked about her brother’s mental health as well as his future plans. They pointed out that Republicans have accused Biden of being mentally unfit for office following a series of verbal blunders, such as referring to his wife Jill as the Vice President and calling for regime change in Russia by saying Vladimir Putin “cannot remain in power.”

When asked about whether it makes her angry when Biden misspeaks and people put it down to him not being mentally fit for office, Owens said, “First of all, his gaffes are truths. He speaks the truth.”

Owens replied, “Is he capable? Watch him. Look at him. He speaks the truth. Sometimes it comes out in a different way and people call it a gaffe. He speaks the truth.”

Owens revealed she was not “enthusiastic” about Biden running against Donald Trump for the presidency in 2020 because she believed Trump was “committed to destroying my brother and my family.”

Owens, who has been in charge of Biden’s political campaigns for over 50 years.

“I was not enthusiastic about him running against the former president, because the former president I believe was committed to destroying my brother and my family,” Owens said.

Owens added, “Joe is the right person at the right time for the right job and there are lots of things still to do to carry on the agenda. There’s no daylight between the private person and the public man. The American people know what Joe is about.”

When asked if Biden will run for President in 2024, Owens confirmed, “Yes! We’ve got stuff to do. Absolutely!”

Owens was her brother’s campaign manager for all of his Senate campaigns and for his 2008 presidential bid, which he suspended only to be chosen as Democratic nominee Barack Obama’s running mate. She was a senior adviser on the president’s 2020 campaign.

(FreedomWire.org) – Former Vice President Pence calls President Biden’s “MAGA crowd” extremism charge a “desperate” deflection by the administration “grasping for straws” due to its tanking approval rating.

Biden labeled MAGA as the “most extreme” political organization in recent U.S. history on Wednesday, in reaction to a leaked draft Supreme Court opinion overturning landmark abortion case Roe v. Wade, and support by Republicans for the end of federal protections for abortion and returning that power to states. 

“What are the next things that are going to be attacked?” Biden asked. “Because this MAGA crowd is really the most extreme political organization that’s existed in American history—-in recent American history.”

“With all due respect, President Biden sounds desperate. It sounds like the rhetoric of an administration grasping for straws,” Pence told Fox News Digital during an exclusive interview Saturday ahead of his commencement speech at Patrick Henry College in Virginia.

“I mean, look, the president’s approval rating speaks for itself. He is exploring of the bowels of American approval numbers in modern history. And it’s because the American people see the failed policies of this administration at home and abroad,” Pence continued.

Biden’s approval rating tumbled to the lowest point of his presidency, with just 33% of Americans approving of his job performance.

“And I think there’s no amount of, you know, any effort by this administration to demean the 74 million people that supported this [MAGA] movement. And millions of Americans who know our economy can be strong, our borders can be secure, and that that America can be respected on the world stage and our values can be respected in our courts, [values] that they love.”

Pence said that Biden’s dig at MAGA will likely have the opposite effect that he may have anticipated.

(FreedomWire.org) – Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) claimed Joe Biden is “literally threatening the lives” of the Supreme Court’s justices. Blaming the president for the explosive fallout from the potential overturning of Roe v. Wade.

Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo interviewed Cruz on Sunday Morning Futures, he believes a  “left-wing, woke twit” is responsible for leaking Justice Samuel Alito’s draft majority opinion. Cruz expressed hope that the leaker will “be criminally prosecuted” for attempting to “destroy the court.”

Bartiromo asked Cruz for his thoughts on the protests pro-choice advocates were conducting outside the houses of the Supreme Court’s conservative justices. Cruz claimed that causing these demonstrations was the leaker’s intent — as he condemned the Biden Administration because White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki did not emphatically denounce protests at the justices’ homes.

“It was shameful that the White House refused to condemn violent protest threatening the families of the supreme court. It is disgraceful! And Joe Biden used to be chairman of the Judiciary Committee. Joe Biden knows it’s disgraceful! He’s literally threatening the lives of these justices by the mob they’re unleashing. It’s the same thing we saw with Black Lives Matter and Antifa riots where the left embraced them, and now they’re embracing mob violence to get their partisan outcome.”

(FreedomWire.org) – While appearing on Jesse Watters Primetime last Friday, Border Patrol union chief Brandon Judd stated the Biden administration isn’t punishing illegal border crossings. 

Judd said,  “First thing I would do is, I would re-implement the Migrant Protection Protocols, but even if he chose not to do that, he could operate within his parameters. Stop the catch-and-release, hold people in our custody here in the United States pending their deportation or asylum proceedings. If he did that, people would stop coming. Again, it’s like a light switch. They will not give the cartels thousands of dollars to be smuggled to the United States if they know they’re going to go back. The only people that are benefiting from this are illegal border-crossers, the drug smugglers and the cartels. They’re generating billions of dollars … it is policy that is allowing these people to generate the billions of dollars.”

DHS officials, including Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, have been grilled by Republican lawmakers as the leadership within DHS continues to deny responsibility for the historic increase in illegal border crossings and drugs being smuggled into the United States.

“By the way What would you call what’s happening at the border? Is it a crisis?” Hawley asked.

“I believe we’re facing significant challenges at the border, sir,” Neto replied.

“Challenges. Is it a problem?” Hawley followed up.

“I think there are parts of the border where we have seen particularly problematic flows,” said Neto.

(FreedomWire.org) – Joe Biden announced Karine Jean-Pierre would soon replace Jen Psaki as his press secretary. Biden clearly expects Jean-Pierre’s status as a black woman and a member of the LGBT community will protect her from scrutiny and criticism.

However, the closer you look into Jean-Pierre private life, it raises red flags. S

She’s in a same-sex marriage with CNN reporter Suzanne Malveaux, which could cause a conflict in interest.

“The White House did not respond to a request for comment about whether Jean-Pierre would recuse herself in dealing with CNN,” the Washington Free Beacon reports. “Malveaux’s colleagues include Valerie Jarrett’s daughter, CNN justice correspondent Laura Jarrett, and Israel ambassador Tom Nides’s wife, Virginia Moseley, who serves as CNN’s senior vice president of news gathering.”

“Suzanne Malveaux will continue in her role as CNN national correspondent covering national/international news and cultural events but will not cover politics, Capitol Hill, or the White House while Karine Jean-Pierre is serving as White House press secretary,” a CNN spokesperson told the Washington Free Beacon.

But that’s not the only concern with Jean-Pierre. In addition, she is also a long-time anti-Israel activist which raises ethical issues.

Her history includes a past role as a senior adviser and national spokeswoman for MoveOn.org, a far-left organization that has established itself as anti-Israel, in part by advocating for boycotts of the country that are widely considered anti-Semitic.

“Joe Biden’s promotion of Jean-Pierre signals to all would-be Israel haters that their efforts will be rewarded with White House appointments and promotions,” said Ellie Cohanim, a former Trump administration official who served as the State Department’s deputy special envoy to monitor and combat anti-Semitism. “At a time of rising anti-Semitism in America, Biden’s promotion of Jean-Pierre is exactly the wrong signal to send.”

“As a child of Holocaust survivors and as an American Jew, I am both appalled and frightened that Biden has chosen as his principal deputy press secretary, Ms. Jean-Pierre, who has shown essentially antisemitic hostility toward Israel and is willing to lie about and vilify Israel and Jews to promote her ugly Israelophobic agenda,” Mort Klein, CEO of the Zionist Organization on America, said in a statement.

(FreedomWire.org) – New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is furious with, Arizona Senator Kyrsten Sinema and wants her removed from office when she faces reelection in 2024.

After the headline-grabbing Roe v. Wade draft opinion leak, which AOC called a “disaster,” the New York Democrat called for Republicans and “Dem obstructionists” to be held accountable. The latter, she said should be held accountable for not voting according to party lines.

Her criticism comes after Sinema released a statement defending her decision to support the filibuster, citing the filibuster as a critical protector for women’s health legislation in the last ten years.

She started her statement by saying, “A woman’s healthcare choices should be between her, her family, and her doctor. Overturning Roe v. Wade endangers the health and wellbeing of women in Arizona and across America.”

Sinema went on to defend her decision on the filibuster, writing, “Protections in the Senate safeguarding against the erosion of women’s access to health care have been used half-a-dozen times in the past ten years, and are more important now than ever.”

However, AOC, who wasn’t pleased with Sinema, argued that lawmakers “could protect Roe tomorrow, but Sinema refuses to act on the filibuster,” adding that the Arizona Democrat “can take a seat talking about ‘women’s access to healthcare’” until she changes her perspective on the filibuster.

In the same tweet, Ocasio-Cortez stated, “Hold everyone contributing to this disaster accountable, GOP & Dem obstructionists included. She should be primaried.”

(FreedomWire.org) – After the leak of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito’s majority abortion opinion, Republican Rep. Jim Jordan blasted the “radical nature” of the Democratic Party’s reaction to the leak of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito’s draft opinion in a landmark case that could overturn Roe V. Wade.

“I think one of the key things we have to do as Republicans, as conservatives, people who are pro-life and support the decision is, we have to point out the radical nature on this debate is the Left. It’s Chuck Schumer and all these Democrats who think you should be able to take the life of an unborn child all the way up until right when they’re about ready to be born,” Jordan told Jimmy Failla in an interview with Fox Across America.

“That is their position. And they always say, ‘these radical conservative Republicans in the Supreme Court’. It’s the Democrats who have the radical position. It was Ralph Northam who said the crazy things he said as governor of Virginia about unborn children and children just born, what they were contemplating doing to kids, to human beings. That’s what we’ve got to be willing to point out when we debate folks, if this plays out over the next several months,” he added.

Politico first obtained a draft of conservative Justice Samuel Alito’s majority decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, a controversial Mississippi case which could effectively overturn Roe v. Wade and almost 50 years of legal precedent guaranteeing a woman’s right to an abortion.

According to the document, Justices Clarence Thomas, Amy Coney Barrett, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and possibly Chief Justice John Roberts support Justice Alito’s decision.

Should the court vote to overturn the current precedents, abortions would be left for the states to decide. 

“We hold that Roe and Casey must be overruled,” Justice Alito wrote in the opinion. “It is time to heed the Constitution and return the issue of abortion to the people’s elected representatives.”

Alito also noted that 30 states had active bans on abortion throughout pregnancy at the time Roe was decided and Americans still hold “sharply conflicting views” on the subject.

“Some believe fervently that a human person comes into being at conception and that abortion ends an innocent life. Others feel just as strongly that any regulation of abortion invades a woman’s right to control her own body and prevents women from achieving full equality. Still others in a third group think that abortion should be allowed under some but not all circumstances, and those within this group hold a variety of views about the particular restrictions that should be imposed,” Alito wrote. 

Shortly after the opinion was leaked, thousands of protestors took to the streets in cities across the country to protest what they perceive as the end of Roe.

Hundreds of protestors from both sides of the abortion debate gathered in front of the Supreme Court in Washington, D.C., in the days Politico published Justice Samuel Alito’s opinion draft.

According to reporter Alejandro Alvarez, the pro-choice crowd in Washington far outnumbered the pro-life crowd.

(FreedomWire.org) – President Biden just established a new set of executive orders on gun control. He said “no amendment is absolute,” while maintaining that “nothing” he is recommending “impinges” on the Second Amendment.

“Today we’re taking steps to confront not just the gun crisis, but what is actually a public health crisis,” Biden said from the White House Thursday.

“Nothing, nothing I am about to recommend in any way impinges on the Second Amendment,” the president said, calling arguments suggesting that those constitutional rights are at stake “phony.”

“No amendment, no amendment to the Constitution is absolute,” he said. “You can’t yell ‘fire’ in a crowded movie theater — recall a freedom of speech. From the very beginning, you couldn’t own any weapon you wanted to own. From the very beginning that the Second Amendment existed, certain people weren’t allowed to have weapons.” He also said, “So the idea is just bizarre, to suggest that some of the things we’re recommending are contrary to the Constitution.”

The president stated that gun violence in the United States “an epidemic.”

“Let me say it again, gun violence in this country is an epidemic,” Biden said. “And it’s an international embarrassment.”

Vice President Harris added, “I’ve seen with my own two eyes what a bullet can do to the human body … and I’ve fought my entire career to fight this violence and to pass reasonable gun safety.”

“What are we waiting for? Cause we aren’t waiting or a tragedy… We’ve had more tragedy than we can bear,” she said. “The solutions exist… people on both sides of the aisle want action, real people … so all that is left is the will and the courage to act.”

Republicans, meanwhile, have expressed their suspicion of Biden’s agenda, which goes much further than the actions he is announcing Thursday. The president has said he supports an assault weapons ban, voluntary buybacks of assault weapons, wants to repeal a law that prevents gun manufacturers from being sued for crimes people commit with guns, and much more.

“By appointing the anti-gun Merrick Garland as attorney general and nominating David Chipman, formerly a senior staffer at the leading gun control lobby, to head ATF. Biden has made clear his sights are set on restricting the rights of law-abiding gun owners while ignoring criminals and foregoing substantive measures that will actually keep Americans safe,” the National Rifle Association (NRA) said in a statement.

“Further, the proposals Biden announced tonight could require law-abiding citizens to surrender lawful property and enable states to expand gun confiscation orders. The NRA will fight this nomination and ill-conceived executive actions,” the NRA stated. 

(FreedomWire) – Biden’s new “Disinformation” Czar, Nina Jankowicz lives in Loudoun County, VA. Loudoun County,  has been dubbed ground zero for school board activism and parental pushback over the school policies like CRT, gender ideology, school closures and COVID-19 vaccines.

Jankowicz said the GOP is made up of “disinformers” who “have seized on” issues like CRT to spread “disinformation” at a speaking event at The City Club of Cleveland in October 2021 titled “Disinformation and Democracy: Civic Discourse in the Digital Age.”

“I live in Virginia and in Loudoun County, that’s one of the areas where people have really honed in on this topic,” Jankowicz added at the event. “But it’s no different than any of the other hot-button issues that have allowed disinformation to flourish. It’s weaponizing people’s emotion.”

“Critical Race Theory has become one of those hot-button issues that the Republicans and other disinformers, who are engaged in disinformation for profit, frankly … have seized on,” Jankowicz said.

This is the person Biden wants to control ‘disinformation.’

Republicans and other ‘disinformers’.

She is calling parents disinformers. Parents in Loudoun County and around the country are fighting the against CRT. Parents have the right to say what they don’t want their children taught in school.
