White House visitor logs showed that an attorney for Hunter Biden met with one of First Lady Jill Biden&#8217;s top aides as well as President Joe Biden himself days before the president&#8217;s son defied a congressional subpoena, the New York Post (NYP) <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/04/06/us-news/white-house-meets-with-hunter-bidens-legal-team-visitor-logs/">reported</a> Saturday.
Hunter&#8217;s attorney Abbe Lowell had a meeting with Anthony Bernal, who has been an aide for Jill since 2008, in the East Wing of the White House on December 11, 2023, according to the NYP. Visitor logs also showed that Lowell met with Joe Biden, but the Post noted that meeting was most likely in the context of an official Hanukkah reception held the same day.
“We’ve called on the White House to provide information about whether President Biden sought to influence or obstruct our investigation by preventing, discouraging, or dissuading his son from complying with the subpoenas for a deposition as part of the House of Representatives’ impeachment inquiry, but the White House has refused to provide any information,” House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) told the Post.
&#8220;The White House must provide the public with information about the contents of this meeting in order to provide transparency to the American people,&#8221; he added.
Two days after Lowell visited the White House, Hunter skipped his scheduled deposition with congressional investigators regarding the corruption-focused <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/impeachment" target="_blank" rel="noopener">impeachment</a> inquiry into the president. The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/house-oversight-subpoenas-hunter-biden-presidents-brother-and-ex-business-associate" target="_blank" rel="noopener">president’s brother, James Biden</a>, as well as <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/republicans-issue-subpoenas-over-hunter-biden-art-sales" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hunter Biden’s art dealer</a> and business associates, had also received congressional subpoenas.
Hunter did <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/hunter-biden-shows-up-to-capitol-defies-subpoena-for-house-deposition">show up</a> on Capitol Hill the day he was supposed to sit down for the deposition, but instead of meeting with investigators, he held an impromptu press conference, <a href="https://twitter.com/greg_price11/status/1734948300485243130" target="_blank" rel="noopener">denying</a> that his father was “financially involved” in his business affairs, including in dealings abroad with people from China and Ukraine, as well as his investments domestically and work as an artist.
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre later <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/4358693-white-house-president-familiar-with-what-hunter-biden-planned-to-say/">remarked</a> that Joe Biden was &#8220;familiar&#8221; with what Hunter planned to say at the press conference.
Under threat of being held in contempt of Congress by House Republicans, Hunter finally agreed to sit down for a deposition in late February. In the transcript for the deposition, Hunter <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/hunter-biden-confirms-joe-biden-was-the-big-guy-referenced-in-message-about-chinese-business-deal">confirmed</a> that his father was, in fact, the &#8220;big guy&#8221; referenced in a message related to a proposed business deal with a Chinese company.
Hunter <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/hunter-biden-refuses-public-hearing-comer-says-panel-called-his-bluff">declined</a> an invitation in March to testify in a public hearing before the Oversight Committee, with Lowell citing a scheduling conflict.

“We’ve proven the crimes. Now it’s time to hold people accountable for the crimes and Joe Biden needs to answer some questions in front of the Oversight Committee,&#8221; Comer <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/04/03/us-news/james-comer-claims-republicans-have-proven-the-crimes-against-bidens/">told</a> Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo during a Wednesday interview. &#8220;We’ve had three Biden associates that said [President Biden] was the closer of … selling the Biden brand.&#8221;

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/music">U2</a> finished its residency at the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/las-vegas">Las Vegas</a> venue Sphere over the weekend with a tribute to first lady <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jill-biden">Jill Biden</a>.
Frontman Bono dedicated the song “All I Want Is You” from the 1988 U2 album &#8220;Rattle and Hum&#8221; to Mrs. Biden, who was in attendance.
“This song, when we wrote it, I tried to write the lyrics from the point of view of the woman or the bride, in this case, which is pretty arrogant, I suppose. That was a trick for me to get to the lyric I was playing on myself,” Bono said. 
“Tonight, I want to dedicate it to all the great women in our lives — our partners, our mothers, our daughters, all the women on the U2 crew, all the great women in our audience that we feel we know, and all the great women in parts of the world going through very difficult circumstances that we could never know. And one woman in particular who is with us tonight, she’s a teacher. She’s your first lady, so this is for Jill Biden.”
At another point in the show, Bono mentioned Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, which he’s been doing on stage since Navalny’s death was announced last month.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

“This is a tightly constructed show, but as it’s our last night, we wondered if it might be OK to experiment on you a little bit. The idea is to record something special to honor Alexei Navalny’s widow, Yulia, who is continuing a fight against Vladimir Putin for a free, free Russia, which is what we want for the Russian people,” Bono said before playing “Don’t Dream It’s Over.”
“The other day we got a beautiful email from Neil Finn, who wrote this bewildering beautiful song and he attached to the email a version of this song that he said we could play on or whatever we wanted. It’s a new version that he did, and we thought if we are going to record it, well, maybe if you would be on that recording and we could make that session the last night recording session and dedicating it to Yulia,” he continued, calling the single “a song about freedom.”
The band has played 40 shows at the visually stunning music and entertainment arena beginning in September. U2 was commemorating one of its most successful records, “Achtung Baby” (1991), by playing the album in its entirety along with other selected tracks from the band&#8217;s catalog.
During the performance, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/bono">Bono</a> welcomed the album’s producer, Daniel Lanois, to the stage. He also made mention of drummer Larry Mullen Jr., who was in the audience but unable to play due to his recent neck surgery. 
“The rumors that Larry will be playing with us tonight are not true, sadly. But he is here with us,” Bono said of Mullen Jr. “That is the man who pinned the note on the notice board at Mount Temple Comprehensive School all those years ago. We are very grateful that he did, and that he’s here with us tonight. We wish him a speedy, speedy, speedy recovery. We love you, Larry Mullen Jr.”

U.S.

A presidential historian said during an interview over the weekend that one of the main driving forces behind President Joe Biden&#8217;s decision to run for re-election was his wife, Jill Biden.
Douglas Brinkley, author of &#8220;The Unfinished Presidency,&#8221; told CBS News&#8217; &#8220;Face The Nation&#8221; on Sunday that Jill Biden has done the exact opposite of what other first ladies have done.
He noted that both former Presidents Harry Truman and Lyndon B. Johnson decided to leave office because their wives told them they didn&#8217;t want to serve a second term.
&#8220;She is the vital part. Dr. Jill Biden is it,&#8221; he said. &#8220;You know, if you go back to 1952, Harry Truman could have run, and he didn&#8217;t. Why? Well, the Korean War and, you know, other reasons. But — but Bess wanted to go back to Independence [Missouri] — she didn&#8217;t like it in Washington.&#8221;
&#8220;If you cut to &#8217;68, Lyndon Johnson was – quit in March of &#8217;68 and people will say because of Walter Cronkite. No,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;The big thing was his health was bad, he had a bad heart, he was smoking, high blood pressure, tension, and Lady Bird Johnson didn&#8217;t want to stay in. And she wanted – let&#8217;s go back to Texas and convinced Johnson to step down.&#8221;
&#8220;That&#8217;s not the case with Jill Biden. She likes power. She wants to stay. She wants some sense of revenge,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;She teaches in Virginia Community College. This milieu around our building here, this is her home. And the idea of relinquishing it all after you&#8217;ve taken the slings and arrows of the last years of attacks, and at the last minute, just when you get all the delegates you&#8217;re going to say, I&#8217;m going to open it up to a bunch of people — it&#8217;s very childish when you read those kind of reports.&#8221;

Presidential Historian Reveals Jill Biden Is The Reason Joe Biden Ran Again: ‘She Likes Power’, Wants ‘Revenge’

White House

A new report released this week said that first lady <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jill-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jill Biden</a> was so irate after President Joe Biden embarrassed himself at a press conference that she berated him and his aides for allowing it to continue.
The report comes after Biden held an <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-explodes-during-press-conference-on-his-mental-fitness-makes-several-mental-mistakes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">impromptu press conference</a> on Thursday to address his mental fitness after the special counsel who was leading the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/special-counsel-biden-willfully-retained-disclosed-classified-materials-but-no-criminal-charges-warranted" target="_blank" rel="noopener">criminal investigation</a> into Biden&#8217;s handling of classified material said in his report that he would not prosecute Biden in part because he had <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/special-counsel-biden-has-significantly-limited-memory-didnt-remember-when-he-was-vp-or-when-son-died" target="_blank" rel="noopener">serious memory issues</a>.
During the event, Biden <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-explodes-during-press-conference-on-his-mental-fitness-makes-several-mental-mistakes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">exploded</a> at reporters who pointed out voters’ concerns about his age and declared that he was the most qualified person in America to be president. During the event, Biden mixed up the presidents of Egypt and Mexico, forgot the name of the church where his deceased son got the rosary that he wears every day, and forgot key details from the special counsel’s report.
Axios reported that, according to a new forthcoming book, Jill Biden erupted after a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-on-his-struggles-in-office-i-didnt-over-promise-but-i-have-probably-outperformed" target="_blank" rel="noopener">January 19, 2022, press conference</a> that lasted two hours that was widely panned as <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-slammed-over-embarrassing-press-conference-let-the-25th-amendment-discussions-begin" target="_blank" rel="noopener">embarrassing</a> for the president.
&#8220;She had watched the news conference, and the look on her face told everyone in the room — from the president on down — that they had some explaining to do,&#8221; an excerpt from the book said. &#8220;This dressing down &#8230; illustrated the degree to which she is her husband&#8217;s fiercest protector.&#8221;
&#8220;Why didn&#8217;t anyone stop that?&#8221; she fumed as she demanded to know where his aides were and who was supposed to intercede on Biden&#8217;s behalf and end the press conference.
The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/democrats-panic-after-bidens-disastrous-press-conference-worse-than-an-indictment" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reaction from Democrats to Biden&#8217;s press conference</a> this week was mixed, with some rushing to Biden’s defense while others, most of them privately, signaled that Biden’s press conference did serious damage to his re-election campaign.
Longtime Democrat strategist and former Clinton White House aide Paul Begala said on CNN: “Look, I’m a Biden supporter. And I slept like a baby last night. I woke up every two hours crying and wet the bed.”
A Democrat House member, speaking anonymously, <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/-nightmare-special-counsels-assessment-bidens-mental-fitness-triggers-rcna137975" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> NBC News that the special counsel’s assessment was a “nightmare” that “weakens President Biden electorally.”
“For Democrats, we’re in a grim situation,” the member said.

A Democrat operative also told NBC News that yesterday’s events were “beyond devastating,” adding: “It confirms every doubt and concern that voters have. If the only reason they didn’t charge him is because he’s too old to be charged, then how can he be President of the United States?”
Another Biden ally told the publication that it was the “worst day of his presidency.”
A Democrat strategist <a href="https://thedispatch.com/newsletter/dispatch-politics/democrats-fret-over-bidens-age-after-special-counsel-report/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in an interview with The Dispatch that the report from Hur, combined with Biden’s disastrous press conference, was “worse than an indictment,” while another called it “extremely bad.”
Axios <a href="https://www.axios.com/2024/02/09/biden-defends-memory-2024-election" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> that many senior Democrats were alarmed by Biden’s press conference, including a former Biden White House official, who called it “brutal.”
Another former Biden official said, “Taking the nomination away from Biden is like taking the car keys away from your parents.”

Jill Biden Reportedly Lashed Out At Biden Aides After Disastrous 2022 Press Conference: 'Why Didn't Anyone Stop That?'

Biden Administration

First lady Jill Biden is bringing Kate Cox, a woman who left Texas to get an abortion, as her guest to the State of the Union address in March.
Cox made headlines last month when she was denied an abortion in Texas for her unborn baby with a fetal anomaly and so left to obtain the abortion out of state.
The White House announced the invitation on Wednesday.
&#8220;On Sunday, the President and the First Lady spoke to Kate Cox, who was forced to go to court to seek permission for the care she needed for a nonviable pregnancy that threatened her life. They thanked her for her courage in sharing her story and speaking out about the impact of the extreme abortion ban in Texas,&#8221; White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said.
&#8220;The first lady invited Kate to join her as a guest at the State of the Union and Kate accepted, so those are ways that you&#8217;re going to hear the president lift up those very personal stories,&#8221; the press secretary said.
In December, the Texas Supreme Court <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/texas-woman-denied-abortion-of-baby-with-fetal-anomaly-leaves-state-to-obtain-one" target="_blank" rel="noopener">decided</a> against Cox, 31, ruling that she was not entitled to a medical exception abortion under the state&#8217;s abortion ban.
Cox&#8217;s legal team had <a href="https://reproductiverights.org/texas-woman-who-needs-emergency-abortion-forced-to-flee-state/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">argued</a> that her unborn baby had a fatal fetal condition and that continuing the pregnancy threatened Cox’s future fertility.
Cox, who has two other children, was more than 20 weeks pregnant with a baby who had a condition called trisomy 18, which involves having an extra chromosome 18 and can cause abnormalities like heart defects.
About 95% of trisomy 18 pregnancies <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20080804190753/http://www.emedicine.com/ped/topic652.htm#section~Introduction" target="_blank" rel="noopener">result</a> in a miscarriage. However, some babies do survive past birth and can live into their toddler years, teen years, or even longer. A woman believed to be one of the oldest people with the condition <a href="https://www.fox23.com/news/local/oklahoma-city-woman-is-one-of-the-oldest-in-the-world-with-this-rare-genetic/article_25b2070a-fe8c-5c93-b860-6b3ee0ff2dd4.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lived</a> to 40.
Texas law <a href="https://statutes.capitol.texas.gov/Docs/HS/htm/HS.171.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">allows</a> for abortions only when a pregnancy seriously threatens the life of the woman or carries “a serious risk of substantial impairment of a major bodily function.”
The state Supreme Court <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/11/us/texas-abortion-kate-cox.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a> in its ruling that Cox’s doctor “asked a court to pre-authorize the abortion yet she could not, or at least did not, attest to the court that Ms. Cox’s condition poses the risks the exception requires.”
Cox’s attorneys <a href="https://reproductiverights.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Cox-v.-Texas-original-petition-FINAL-1.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">argued</a> that she needed a dilation and evacuation (D&amp;E) abortion because going through vaginal labor would risk uterine rupture due to her two previous C-sections. Another C-section birth would make future pregnancies higher risk and potentially damage her fertility, Cox’s doctors told her, according to court documents.
Cox had also been to the emergency room several times during her pregnancy for symptoms including cramping and discharge.

“No one disputes that Ms. Cox’s pregnancy has been extremely complicated. Any parents would be devastated to learn of their unborn (fatal condition) diagnosis. Some difficulties in pregnancy, however, even serious ones, do not pose the heightened risks to the mother the exception encompasses,” the Texas Supreme Court <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2023/12/11/us/texas-woman-leaves-state-abortion/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a> in its ruling.
The court also called on the Texas Medical Board to provide further guidance on the state’s abortion ban.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, a Republican, previously <a href="https://twitter.com/TXAG/status/1732849903154450622/photo/2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">warned</a> that doctors or hospitals who performed Cox’s abortion could face criminal prosecution.

The Biden administration and his reelection campaign have placed abortion front and center as the election cycle heats up.
On Sunday, the Biden campaign <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-campaign-attempts-to-tie-trump-to-state-abortion-bans-in-new-ad" target="_blank" rel="noopener">debuted</a> a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrtvE4bSwKY" target="_blank" rel="noopener">new ad</a> titled “Forced,” which features another Texas woman who obtained an abortion out of state.
Dr. Austin Dennard, a Dallas OBGYN and mother of three, left Texas to obtain an abortion for her unborn baby with anencephaly, a condition where a baby is born without parts of the brain and skull.
Dennard is one of several women suing Texas to clarify the “medical emergency” exception to the state’s abortion ban.
In her court testimony, Dennard acknowledged that her pregnancy had not made her “critically ill.”
“I was not hemorrhaging, I was not septic. I was pregnant with a lethal anomaly, and I did not believe that I would be able to receive an abortion in my state at that time for the sole purpose of my lethal anomaly,” Dennard said.
The Biden campaign&#8217;s new ad also attempted to tie former President Donald Trump to state abortion bans.

While the younger Biden and his lawyers indicated he came to Congress on Wednesday to testify, GOP lawmakers decried what they viewed as another stunt.

President Joe Biden appeared to forget — at least momentarily — about his well-documented love for ice cream during a brief exchange with host Ryan Seacrest on &#8220;Dick Clark&#8217;s New Tear&#8217;s Rockin&#8217; Eve.&#8221;
Both the president and First Lady Jill Biden chatted with Seacrest during the holiday special on Sunday evening, and the former &#8220;American Idol&#8221; host lobbed a series of softball questions their way.

At one point, Seacrest asked the president to share some of the holiday foods he had been enjoying as he had traveled first to Camp David and then to St. Croix, the U.S. Virgin Islands, over the last week.
&#8220;I&#8217;ve been eating everything that&#8217;s put in front of me!&#8221; Biden replied. &#8220;I&#8217;ve eaten pasta, which I love. Eaten a lot of chicken, chicken parmesan, I&#8217;ve been eating all Italian foods basically —&#8221;
&#8220;And ice cream,&#8221; Jill Biden reminded him, interrupting.
&#8220;And ice cream,&#8221; the president repeated, then added, &#8220;Chocolate chip ice cream.&#8221;

During one such instance in October of 2022, the president touted his &#8220;strong as hell&#8221; economy between bites of ice cream — despite the fact that inflation had raised the price of the dairy treat by double digits.

A car crashed into President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden&#8217;s</a> motorcade on Sunday night just as he was getting ready to step back inside one of the vehicles.
Biden was walking out from his campaign office headquarters in Wilmington, Delaware, after he and the first lady had finished eating when the incident happened.
The car hit a U.S. Secret Service vehicle that was being used to block an intersection near the headquarters. The car reportedly then tried to drive into the closed-off intersection when federal law enforcement officials surrounded the car and ordered the driver to put his hands up.
Video of the incident shows Biden walking outside and talking to a heckler when the incident happened as the crash was loud enough that it grabbed the attention of Secret Service agents who quickly surrounded Biden and got him into the vehicle.

WATCH: Moment Car Smashes Into Biden's Motorcade

Delaware

There are two major problems with the notion of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI).
The first is the inherent discrimination in the concept: the belief that all aspects of success are due to exploitation and discrimination. This means, when applied to groups, statistically underperforming groups are to be considered “victimized,” whether or not they are victims, and to be treated with special privileges; those who are members of statistically overachieving groups, whether or not they are victimized, are to be treated as villains. 
The only possible exception to this hierarchy is white men, who are always to be treated as villains, whether their group is underperforming or overperforming in any given situation.
This philosophy is how you get a holiday party for “Electeds of Color” thrown by Asian Boston Mayor Michelle Wu. Apparently, this “Electeds of Color” party has been happening for a decade in Boston. 
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Mayor Wu addresses controversy around holiday party invitation" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ANTk8QMJ_oc?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Obviously, this is discriminatory and wrong. If there were a white-electeds-only party, of course, that would be violative of federal discrimination law. But DEI insists you cannot be wrong so long as you’re a member of the victimhood hierarchy.
So that’s the first problem with DEI: It’s racist.
Then there’s the second problem, not disconnected to the first: mediocrity. 
<h4><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-1870-wrecking-satan-for-christmas-member-exclusive" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: The Ben Shapiro Show</a></h4>
If success is to be treated as sinful and failure as virtuous — because victimhood is virtue — then mediocrity is the happy middle wherein you can avoid being completely terrible at things and also escape censure for being good at them.
So it is in academia, where racially diverse mediocrity is preferable to non-race-based meritocratic achievement. See, for example, Harvard, where <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/oh-to-be-a-black-harvard-president">President Claudine Gay</a>, despite apparently being both a serial plagiarist and a soft-on-anti-Semitism leader, is still in her job.
Or, see Chicago, where Mayor Brandon Johnson — the even worse successor to Lori Lightfoot — announced his plans to kill Chicago’s high-achieving selective-enrollment schools, since they weren’t racially diverse enough. Chicago Public Schools CEO Pedro Martinez has put forth <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12864439/Chicago-Mayor-Brandon-Johnson-selective-enrollment-high-schools.html">a resolution</a> seeking “a transition away from privatization and admissions/enrollment policies and approaches that further stratification and inequity in CPS and drive student enrollment away from neighborhood schools.”
Better that high-achieving students be trapped in the crappy local school than they be able to go to a better school. Mediocrity for all!
And so it is at the White House, where equity prevails above all. 
Now, when the Biden White House promised equity would be at the heart of all they do, they meant it. Which, presumably, is why Dr. Jill Biden — the greatest of all doctors — invited the Dorrance Dance company to perform a version of the “Nutcracker” ballet at the White House. 
There’s nothing wrong with the concept here; the “Nutcracker” is a famous Christmastime piece of culture, and tap dance is a historically black American art form with a long and storied Hollywood history. Many if not most of the greatest tap artists in history have been black Americans, from the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNKRm6H-qOU" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nicholas Brothers</a> to Bill “Bojangles” Robinson to Gregory Hines. 
Now, of course, like most of what is amazing in America, tap has been adopted by people of all cultures — which is how you end up with Gene Kelly and Fred Astaire, two of the greatest American artists of all time.
So, there was plenty of history and quality for the Biden White House to choose from in picking their Christmas tap routine.
But what the White House presented wasn’t good tap dancing. It wasn’t terrible. It was just … well, <a href="https://twitter.com/FLOTUS/status/1735074586721468855" target="_blank" rel="noopener">meh</a>.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Now, why was Dorrance Dance picked to do this much-mocked routine? Presumably, it had something to do with the politics of the group. Michelle Dorrance, founder of the group, has dedicated the group to “antiracism.” Here is what she <a href="https://www.dorrancedance.com/antiracism-michelles-why" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a> on her website: 
<blockquote>It is our job to tell the history of tap dance as a celebration of Black culture and also the never-ending struggle against systemic racism and white supremacy in this country &#8211; the origin story of appropriation in American culture. In 2020, I am a part of the way this story plays out. I am a white tap dancer with Black cultural ancestors in a society that privileges white people and whiteness. I am easy for white audiences wanting to access and experience elements of Black culture to swallow.</blockquote>
Dorrance says that tap dance is “both a tradition born of subversion/revolution/protest and a powerful vehicle for social and political change” and adds that as a beneficiary of “white privilege that I invite you to join me in lifelong antiracism work. Understanding how deeply embedded white supremacy, racism, and colonialism is in our culture is paramount to understanding our role (as white people) in perpetuating it, and embracing our job to dismantle it.”
Or, you know, you could just dance.
Because here’s the reality of a free country: Quality improves everyone and everything. All the black tap artists I mentioned did more for racial comity and black Americans than Michelle Dorrance ever will — because they demonstrated, to anyone who would even think that race ought to define someone, that incredible artistry spans and transcends race.
But when DEI is your goal, mediocrity is all too often the result.

<a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/first-lady-jill-biden-blasted-bizarre-white-house-christmas-video-united-states-bananas?intcmp=tw_fnc" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Social media users</a> were quick to call out the video as  &#8220;absolute garbage,&#8221; &#8220;like something out of hell,&#8221; and more.
&#8220;This should&#8217;ve come with a sensitivity label,&#8221; Libs of Tiktok wrote. &#8220;This is [horrendous].&#8221;
Another added, &#8220;It&#8217;s a mentally ill Christmas at the Biden White House.&#8221;
While another person wrote, &#8220;You are so strange. Bizarre. Freaky.&#8221;
Others included side-by-side clips of the strange video against former First Lady Melania Trump&#8217;s Christmas video from 2020 during her time in the White House with former President Donald Trump.
&#8220;Jill Biden&#8217;s Psycho Christmas White House or Melania Trump&#8217;s Peaceful Christmas White House?&#8221; one person <a href="https://x.com/dailycallout/status/1735323126790246548?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a>.
Another added, &#8220;How utterly tacky, tasteless and ANTI Christmas. Melania&#8217;s was tasteful, seasonal, appealed to everyone and was absolutely breathtaking and gorgeous.&#8221;
While a third wrote, &#8220;This is &#8216;Dr&#8217; Jill Biden&#8217;s cringey Christmas video. Of course it&#8217;s all blacks/gays/theys/thems. Not a single reference to the birth of Christ &#8230;&#8221;
In comparison, the video former First Lady Melania Trump released in <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AClZ1-byZdo" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2020</a> featured lots of beautiful Christmas trees, messages on packages that read, &#8220;faith&#8221; and &#8220;love,&#8221; and a toy train bearing the words &#8220;America the beautiful.&#8221;

President Joe Biden will mask up in certain situations and socially distance himself after first lady Jill Biden <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jill-biden-tests-positive-for-covid-again" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tested positive</a> for COVID, the White House announced Tuesday.
On Monday, the first lady&#8217;s communications director, Elizabeth Alexander, told the press, “This evening, the First Lady tested positive for COVID-19. She is currently experiencing only mild symptoms.&#8221; The president tested negative both Monday and Tuesday morning and now will undergo a series of precautionary measures.
&#8220;He&#8217;s not experiencing any symptoms,&#8221; White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Tuesday. &#8220;As far as the steps that he is taking since the president was with the first lady yesterday, he will be masking while indoors and around people in alignment with CDC guidance. And, as, as has been the practice in the past, the president will remove his mask when sufficiently distanced from others indoors, and while outside as well.&#8221;

Reports <a href="https://www.axios.com/2023/09/01/covid-cases-uptick-summer-2023-new-variant" target="_blank" rel="noopener">suggest</a> that a COVID wave is hitting the nation, but there is no information to indicate it is any deadlier than previous surges.
Biden&#8217;s return to masking comes after <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/fauci-confronted-with-study-that-raised-doubts-about-masks" target="_blank" rel="noopener">several studies</a> have suggested that masking has no effect on stopping the transmission of the virus. Anthony Fauci, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, recently disputed such claims.
“I am concerned that people will not abide by recommendations,” Fauci said on Sunday. “I would hope that if we get to the point that the volume of cases is such and organizations like the CDC recommends — CDC does not mandate anything — recommends that people wear masks, I would hope that people abide by that recommendation and take into account the risks to themselves and their families.”

As a presidential candidate, Biden promised to &#8220;shut down the virus,&#8221; a pledge which has yet to come to fruition.
In response to new COVID variants, Biden <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-to-request-more-funding-for-new-covid-vaccine-recommended-that-everybody-get-it" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in late August that he would ask Congress for additional funding for the development of a new COVID vaccine.
&#8220;I signed off this morning on a proposal we have to present to the Congress a request for additional funding for a new vaccine that is necessary, that works,” Biden <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-to-request-more-funding-for-new-covid-vaccine-recommended-that-everybody-get-it" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>. &#8220;It will likely be recommended that everybody get it no matter whether they’ve gotten it before or not.&#8221;
The fully-vaccinated Jill Biden&#8217;s COVID diagnosis comes more than two years after the president <a href="https://apnews.com/article/joe-biden-business-health-government-and-politics-coronavirus-pandemic-46a270ce0f681caa7e4143e2ae9a0211">told</a> the American people, &#8220;You&#8217;re not going to get COVID if you have these vaccinations.&#8221;

The first lady also had COVID in August 2022. The president has had COVID twice.
For now, Biden is still scheduled to go to the G20 summit hosted in India later this week.

WILMINGTON, DE – AUGUST 13: Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee former Vice President Joe Biden puts his mask back on after delivering remarks following a coronavirus briefing with health experts at the Hotel DuPont on August 13, 2020 in Wilmington, Delaware. Harris is the first Black woman and first person of Indian descent to be a presumptive nominee on a presidential ticket by a major party in U.S. history.
