Chinese Protests Continue
Protests across China are continuing as thousands of demonstrators are lashing out in response to the Chinese Communist Party’s &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/white-house-releases-tepid-statement-on-protests-in-china" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Zero COVID</a>&#8221; policy. Ten people died in an apartment fire late last week, and citizens claim that the CCP blocked emergency workers from the area due to the country’s COVID policies.
Fauci Blames Trump For China&#8217;s Dishonesty
Outgoing National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Anthony Fauci said this week on NBC&#8217;s &#8220;Meet the Press&#8221; that it is possible that COVID came from a lab, but reiterated that he believes there is evidence the virus might have occurred naturally. Fauci also blamed former President Trump’s “accusatory” relationship with the Chinese for the communist nation’s refusal to be transparent about the virus:
“If you look at the anti-China approach that clearly the Trump administration had right from the very beginning and the accusatory nature, the Chinese are gonna flinch back and say, &#8220;No, I&#8217;m sorry. We&#8217;re not gonna talk to you about it.&#8221;
Fauci added that the U.S. should &#8220;keep the politics of out of&#8221; trying to determine COVID&#8217;s origins.

Democrat Senator Throws Cold Water On Biden Gun Power Grab
Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/top-senate-dem-admits-biden-probably-doesnt-have-the-votes-to-ram-through-gun-control-in-lame-duck-session" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> the press that President Biden has “probably not” secured the needed 60 votes to pass gun control in the lame-duck session of Congress. Appearing on CNN’s “State of the Union” Sunday, Murphy threw cold water on Biden‘s hopes to pass an assault weapons ban.
“I’m glad that President Biden is going to be pushing us to take a vote on an assault weapons ban, The House has already passed it. It’s sitting in front of the Senate,&#8221; Murphy said. &#8220;Does it have 60 votes in the Senate right now? Probably not. But let’s see if we can try to get that number as close to 60 as possible. If we don’t have the votes, then we will talk to Senator Schumer and maybe come back next year with maybe an additional senator and see if we can do better.”
Buffalo Shooter Pleads Guilty
The suspect charged with murdering ten people during a mass shooting in May at a supermarket in Buffalo, New York, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-buffalo-shooter-pleads-guilty-to-domestic-terrorism-and-hate-crime-charges" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pleaded guilty</a> on Monday morning on all charges.
The 19-year-old man – who we will not name in accordance with Daily Wire policy intended to deprive mass shooters of notoriety – pleaded guilty to all charges in the grand jury indictment, including murder, murder as a hate crime, and hate-motivated domestic terrorism.
Hawaii&#8217;s Largest Volcano Explodes
Hawaii’s largest active volcano began <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/hawaiis-largest-active-volcano-erupts-ash-fall-warning-issued" target="_blank" rel="noopener">erupting</a> Sunday night, with lava flow warnings issued to the surrounding area. The eruption of Mauna Loa, considered the world’s largest active volcano, was detected at approximately 11:30 p.m. local time inside the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.
The volcano has erupted 33 times since officials began documenting its activity in 1843. Its lava flows have reached the ocean eight times since 1868.
&#8220;We The People&#8221; Christmas At White House
First Lady Jill Biden <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2022/11/28/politics/jill-biden-white-house-holiday-decorations/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">revealed</a> that the White House’s holiday decor theme this year is “We the People.” Over 150 volunteers from around the nation helped decorate the White House over a week.
Avian Flu Hits Nebraska
The Nebraska Department of Agriculture <a href="https://www.blackhillsfox.com/2022/11/28/bird-flu-prompts-slaughter-18m-chickens-nebraska/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> Saturday that another 1.8 million chickens must be killed after a case of bird flu was found on an egg-laying farm in the state. This comes after more than 50 million birds were slaughtered nationwide earlier this year due to outbreaks.
Heritage Foundation Spends Big To Protect Religious Freedom
The Heritage Foundation spent more than $1 million on national TV ads over Thanksgiving weekend, encouraging U.S. senators to vote against the new bill codifying same-sex marriage until new religious liberty protections are added to the bill.
The U.S. Senate has a cloture vote on the Respect for Marriage Act Monday but has faced backlash from those who say it will punish religious organizations and non-profits.
Heritage president Kevin Roberts <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/heritage-launches-campaign-run-ads-against-gay-marriage-bill-during-nfl-college-football-games" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> Fox News, “This legislation does not add one additional benefit to same-sex couples in the United States; it’s an attack that sets the stage to take rights away from people of faith.”
&#8220;Gaslighting&#8221; is 2022&#8217;s Word Of The Year
And, Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary has <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/merriam-websters-2022-word-of-the-year-is-gaslighting" target="_blank" rel="noopener">officially declared</a> the 2022 word of the year. It’s “gaslighting.”

President <a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a> called <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/philadelphia" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Philadelphia</a> Phillies fans “virulent” and “obnoxious” on Tuesday.
The comments occurred ahead of the Phillies taking on the Houston Astros in the third game of the World Series. The former team won the first game 6 to 5, while the latter team won the second game 5 to 2.
Associated Press White House Correspondent Zeke Miller <a href="https://twitter.com/ZekeJMiller/status/1587554183682703360" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> on social media that the commander-in-chief called enthusiasts of the baseball franchise “the most virulent, obnoxious fans in the world” during a fundraiser for Florida gubernatorial candidate Charlie Crist. He added that he would be “sleeping alone” if he failed to support Philadelphia teams since his wife, Dr. Jill Biden, is a fan of her hometown sports.
The First Lady is slated to attend the fourth game of the World Series since the event will honor those affected by cancer, according to a <a href="https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/phillies-fan-jill-biden-to-attend-world-series-game-4/3408329/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> from NBC 10 Philadelphia. The Biden administration recently announced <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-vows-cancer-moonshot-but-heres-what-his-own-cancer-charity-spent-on-research" target="_blank" rel="noopener">efforts</a> to battle the disease.
Far beyond its sports franchises, Philadelphia and the Keystone State are in the national spotlight ahead of the upcoming midterm elections. The commonwealth’s Senate race is presently a tossup between Democratic Lieutenant Governor John Fetterman and Republican Dr. Mehmet Oz.
The two nominees participated last week in the contest’s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/confident-oz-and-struggling-fetterman-clash-in-pennsylvania-senate-debate" target="_blank" rel="noopener">first and only debate</a>. Fetterman, who has struggled with cognition following a stroke in May, floundered and offered incoherent responses as moderators questioned him on his record and policy agenda.
Oz, repeatedly raising examples of conversations he has shared with Pennsylvanians over the past several months, blasted Fetterman, who did not commit during the debate to releasing his medical records, on his absence from the campaign. In turn, Fetterman criticized Oz for his longtime residence in New Jersey. Even with a closed captioning system positioned behind the moderators designed to aid his auditory processing, Fetterman struggled to remain coherent.
Conservative and liberal pundits largely concurred that Fetterman’s poor performance and lack of transparency regarding his health were concerning. The Oz campaign later hired a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/oz-parks-mobile-billboard-playing-debate-against-fetterman-outside-democrat-fundraiser" target="_blank" rel="noopener">mobile billboard</a> to park outside of a Fetterman fundraiser attended by Biden to play the debate in its entirety. “Pennsylvanians deserve to see this debate as much as possible since John Fetterman ducked six others,” Oz campaign communications director Brittany Yanick said in a statement. “He won’t be able to escape it during his fundraiser with the inflator-in-chief.”
Multiple <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/first-post-debate-poll-shows-oz-breaking-away-with-nearly-3-point-lead-in-pennsylvania" target="_blank" rel="noopener">polls</a> taken after the debate showed Oz with a newfound lead over his rival. “Pennsylvanians are rallying around Dr. Oz&#8217;s message of restoring balance to Washington because they know Dr. Oz will help to finally lower inflation and gas prices, protect our communities, and improve the lives of all Americans,” Yanick said in another statement.
When asked during the debate about which team they would support in the October 30 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Philadelphia Eagles, Fetterman expressed support for the former franchise while Oz backed the latter. The Eagles defeated the Steelers 35 to 13.
Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro is presently leading Republican State Senator Doug Mastriano. The candidate has received <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/democrat-governor-candidate-breaks-pennsylvanias-campaign-spending-record-republican-spends-less-than-10-as-much" target="_blank" rel="noopener">little support</a> from establishment Republicans even as Shapiro broke the commonwealth’s gubernatorial campaign spending record.

Something very interesting happened last week when President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden">Joe Biden</a> and first lady Jill Biden flew down to Florida to witness firsthand the damage done by Hurricane Ian.
No, it wasn&#8217;t that Biden toured with Republican Governor Ron DeSantis, a possible preview of the 2024 presidential contest.
It was Jill Biden&#8217;s shoes.
An eagle-eyed Twitterer caught the fact that Jill Biden was wearing high heels on the tour, posting a picture of her along with one of former first lady Melania Trump, who also wore heels when she toured damage in Texas during her husband&#8217;s term.
&#8220;Only one of these photos garnered wall to wall press coverage about the First Lady’s outfit choice,&#8221; Ben Goldey <a href="https://twitter.com/BenGoldey/status/1577690424738709505">tweeted</a>.
No one said a word about Jill&#8217;s shoe choice, but hoo boy did the media go crazy when Melania wore them.
“Melania Trump, Off to Texas, Finds Herself on Thin Heels,&#8221; The New York Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/29/fashion/melania-trump-hurricane-harvey-heels-texas.html">wrote</a> on August 29, 2017.
&#8220;When is a shoe not just a shoe?&#8221; Vanessa Friedman wrote.
&#8220;When it is a pair of very high, needle-thin heels worn by the first lady of the United States on her way to the site of a natural disaster. Then it becomes a symbol for what many see as the disconnect between the Trump administration and reality; another example of the way in which this president and his family continue to define &#8216;appropriate&#8217; their own way; and an excuse for partisan name-calling,&#8221; she wrote.
<a href="https://www.vogue.com/article/melania-trump-hurricane-harvey-stilettos">Vogue</a> piled on in a piece headlined: “Melania Trump’s Hurricane Stilettos, and the White House’s Continual Failure to Understand Optics.”
&#8220;While the nation is riveted by images of thousands of Texans wading with their possessions, their pets, their kids, in chest-high water, desperately seeking refuge; while a government official recommends that those who insist on sheltering in place write their names and social security numbers on their arms, Melania Trump is heading to visit them in footwear that is a challenge to walk in on dry land,&#8221; Lynn Yaeger wrote.
It went on and on.
“Melania Trump Gets Backlash for Wearing Heels to Help Hurricane Victims,&#8221; Harper’s Bazaar <a href="https://www.harpersbazaar.com/culture/politics/a12119130/melania-trump-hurricane-harvey-heels-backlash/">wrote</a>. “Melania Trump Wears Her Stilettos to Tour Houston Flood Zone, No Joke,&#8221; Hollywood Reporter <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general-news/melania-trump-stilettos-houston-flood-zone-1033584/">wrote</a>.
And writer Kenzie Bryant <a href="https://www.vanityfair.com/style/2017/08/melania-trump-hurricane-harvey-heels">wrote</a> in Vanity Fair, &#8220;Who Wears Stilettos to a Hurricane? Melania Trump.&#8221;
But Bryant&#8217;s piece included an &#8220;update&#8221; (not correction, mind you). &#8220;Update (August 29, 2017 at 1:12 p.m.): Melania Trump changed en route into more sensible footwear&#8230;.&#8221;
So wait, she wore heels walking from the White House to the Marine One helicopter on the South Lawn and changed her footwear on Air Force One?
That&#8217;s right. She changed her whole outfit and donned a pair of white Adidas sneakers for the hurricane damage tour, according to Inside Edition.
What is most interesting about it all is that Jill Biden got very different coverage, showing the double standard of the liberal media.
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Melania Trump Criticized for Wearing High Heels as She Left for Texas" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/bwjQL2xqlys?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>
&#8220;Jill Biden Gets Sharply Suited With Striped Bow Pumps for Florida Visit After Hurricane Ian,&#8221; Footwear News <a href="https://footwearnews.com/2022/fashion/womens/jill-biden-ron-desantis-bow-pumps-hurricane-ian-florida-1203354122/">wrote</a>.
&#8220;When it came to footwear, Biden completed her look with a set of whimsical pumps. Her pointed-toe style — now a signature of hers as the first lady — appeared to feature pink and yellow floral uppers with a ruched texture, triangular toes,&#8221; the site wrote.
But the conservative site The Free Beacon gave Jill the Melania <a href="https://freebeacon.com/biden-administration/jill-bided-hurricane-heel-scandal/">treatment</a>. &#8220;Who Wears Heels to a Hurricane? Dr. Jill Biden,&#8221; the headline said. &#8220;Tone-deaf doesn&#8217;t even begin to describe the first lady&#8217;s wardrobe choice,&#8221; said the subhead.
The piece also included its own &#8220;update&#8221;: &#8220;UPDATE: Dr. Jill was still wearing the same flashy heels after landing in Florida to survey the hurricane damage. (At least Melania had the decency to change into sneakers.) By contrast, Gov. Ron DeSantis&#8217; (R., Fla.) wife Casey wore sensible flats.&#8221;
So to sum up, Jill Biden actually wore high heels to tour hurricane damage while Melania Trump just wore them on the helicopter and plane before changing into &#8220;sensible footwear&#8221; &#8212; and the media blew up Melania!?
Same as it ever was.

President Joe Biden claimed on Wednesday that he once &#8220;lost an awful lot&#8221; in a house fire — but fact-checkers have previously said that the 2004 fire was contained to the kitchen and doused within 20 minutes.
<a href="http://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Biden</a> traveled to Fort Myers, Florida, to assess the damage left behind by the high winds and dangerous storm surge of <a href="http://www.dailywire.com/topic/hurricane-ian/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hurricane Ian</a> — but when he took a moment to let Floridians know that he understood what they were going through, the story he shared appeared to be at best an exaggeration.
Arthur Schwartz shared video of the comment, which he captioned, &#8220;Joe Biden says he once &#8216;lost an awful lot&#8217; of his home in a fire. That never happened; he made it up. Totally normal.&#8221;

&#8220;I know from experience how much — how much anxiety and fear and concern there are in the people,&#8221; he said. &#8220;We didn&#8217;t lose our whole home, but lightning struck and we lost an awful lot of it about 15 years ago.&#8221;
Last November, Biden also said that his house had &#8220;burned down&#8221; and that first lady Jill Biden had been in the house at the time — but that she had been able to get out safely.
At the time, The Washington Post&#8217;s fact-checker Glenn Kessler noted that there had, in fact, been a fire at the Biden home in 2004 – but that it had not been anywhere near as large or as damaging as the president appeared to suggest.
Kessler shared an Associated Press <a href="https://www.firehouse.com/home/news/10516121/lightning-sparks-fire-at-bidens-house" target="_blank" rel="noopener">news report</a> detailing the incident, tweeting, &#8220;Biden today: We &#8216;had a house burn down with my wife in it.

According to Cranston Heights Fire Company Chief George Lamborn, when firefighters arrived on the scene, they could see heavy smoke coming from the house — but because they arrived on the scene early, they were able to keep the flames from spreading outside of the kitchen.
&#8220;Luckily, we got it pretty early. The fire was under control in 20 minutes,&#8221; he said.

I&#8217;m not a doctor, so it really isn&#8217;t within my purview to say whether or not <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">President Joe Biden</a> has dementia. I do have common sense, however, and can say that Wednesday, September 28, 2022, was one of his most demented days ever.
Biden kickstarted the day by calling out to the dead. As reported, Biden thanked a handful of bipartisan officials for putting together the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/white-house" target="_blank" rel="noopener">White House</a> Conference on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health. During his acknowledgments, he asked, “Jackie, are you here? Where’s Jackie?” Biden was referring to Congresswoman Jackie Walorski (R-IN), who <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-u-s-congresswoman-killed-in-head-on-collision" target="_blank" rel="noopener">passed away</a> last month in an automobile accident. He was totally unaware of his error.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
To make matters worse, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre defended the statement as if it were a normal thing to say. Jean-Pierre remarked, &#8220;she was on his mind, she was top of mind,&#8221; and added that she didn&#8217;t &#8220;find his comments confusing.&#8221;
The only way the gaffe isn&#8217;t confusing is if Biden has a hidden medical diagnosis relating to his cognitive abilities. That would explain quite a lot about Biden&#8217;s actions.
Next, Biden&#8217;s wife Jill must have been reading The Daily Wire because she helped Biden make it off the stairs after giving a speech on Wednesday. Last week, this author pondered in a column, &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/video-why-does-biden-constantly-wander-around-aimlessly-after-speeches" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Why Does Biden Constantly Wander Around Aimlessly After Speeches?</a>&#8221;
&#8220;It would be one thing if this were a one-off occurrence, but the Mr. Magoo-esque podium exit has become a hallmark of the 46th president’s time in office,&#8221; the column stated.
This author also asked, &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/question-if-joe-biden-were-your-dad-would-you-let-him-live-on-his-own" target="_blank" rel="noopener">If Joe Biden Were Your Dad, Would You Let Him Live On His Own?</a>&#8221; while putting forth the notion that the first lady and Biden&#8217;s family were committing elder abuse.
Well, on Wednesday, Jill was seen directing Biden away from the podium in the Rose Garden. &#8220;You go down &#8230; here,&#8221; Jill can be heard saying while guiding her husband.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
Jill Biden has to direct Joe Biden away from the podium: &quot;You go down this way.&quot;

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
It seems Jill got the memo that she can&#8217;t in good conscience let Biden meander around. He isn&#8217;t in the old folks&#8217; home, he&#8217;s in the Oval Office. Maybe next, she&#8217;ll get him to resign.
Then there&#8217;s the actual substance of Biden&#8217;s big event on starvation.
The president promised on Wednesday that he <a href="https://twitter.com/Forbes/status/1575142543133753345?s=20&amp;t=q40jX3WQR9CRAIwXU0Y2jg" target="_blank" rel="noopener">would end hunger</a> in America by 2030. As it currently stands, more Americans are going hungry under Biden&#8217;s watch as <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-announced-a-plan-to-end-hunger-food-inflation-is-still-in-the-double-digits" target="_blank" rel="noopener">inflation</a> eats away at their ability to <a href="https://www.pbs.org/newshour/economy/most-americans-say-they-cut-back-on-recent-spending-as-prices-rose" target="_blank" rel="noopener">purchase</a> food. If he can&#8217;t even handle it now, how is the federal government going to solve the problem through a series of welfare programs?
It&#8217;s sort of reminiscent of this old clip of then-San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom. In 2008, he promised to end homelessness within 10 years in San Fransisco.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

In March 2005, the Golden Gate City had <a href="https://hsh.sfgov.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/San_Francisco_Homeless_Count_2005_Final_Report.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">6,248</a> homeless individuals and many more who bounced between permanent housing and the streets. Since then, the city has <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/san-francisco-has-spent-billions-to-end-homelessness-and-its-been-a-total-disaster" target="_blank" rel="noopener">spent billions</a> of dollars on the issue.

In other words, Newsom&#8217;s big government spending plan epically failed.
And such will be the case with Biden&#8217;s plan to end food hunger. Big government programs never really work, but that doesn&#8217;t matter to Biden. What matters is expanding government power — even if he isn&#8217;t quite all there or calling the shots to make it happen.
Between the half-baked government programs, Biden&#8217;s not-so-secret senility, and Jean-Pierre&#8217;s blatant lies, it is insulting how dumb this White House thinks the American people are.
The president is batty. Everyone can see it.

One Of Biden’s Most Demented Days Ever

White House

Greetings, global citizens! Some things happen in politics that are a bit too on the nose.
For example, conservatives have warned that &#8220;America Last&#8221; globalists in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/washington-d-c" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Washington, D.C.</a>, are wasting federal money on pet causes such as <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/it-is-pretty-ironic-radio-interview-with-teen-climate-activist-goes-sideways-in-3-2-1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">climate change</a>. At the same time, these self-appointed moral betters are pushing the entire world into having the same set of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/globalism" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rules, customs, and culture</a>. Those same elites remain oblivious that enemies like China are completely flouting those standards.
Critics say that is all a conspiracy and fear-mongering.
To help alleviate those fears, Democrat President Joe Biden, first lady Jill Biden, Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE), and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) addressed the Global Citizen Festival this past weekend.
All four bragged about the fact that the United States is spending billions on leftist causes while shipping U.S. tax dollars overseas. Jill even went a bit further and pushed the notion that the entire world should adopt left-wing American values.
Via video address, Biden joined the first lady for an urgent message for the event Saturday evening. The festival was started in 2012 and is sponsored by some of the largest corporations in the world. It aims to alleviate &#8220;extreme poverty&#8221; through global collectivist efforts.
&#8220;Last month I signed the biggest climate bill in history, the biggest ever. $369 billion to slash emissions by nearly half,&#8221; Biden bragged as a doting Jill nodded along. &#8220;This is a whole new chapter for America and for the planet. We have to do more, I pledged $11 billion a year to help poor countries fight climate change.&#8221;

The comments came just a week after John Kerry, the White House&#8217;s special climate envoy, warned poorer nations in Africa that they would have to sacrifice for the good of the world and choose which sort of fossil fuel they want to power the continent.
&#8220;We are not saying no gas,&#8221; Kerry <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/climate-czar-john-kerry-warns-africa-natural-gas-bring-power-millions" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> at a conference in Dakar, Senegal.
&#8220;What we are saying is, over the next few years, gas replaces coal or replaces oil,&#8221; he added in promotion of a transition to green energy.
For all his bluster, Kerry does not seem too concerned with the threat of fossil fuels himself. According to Fox News, Kerry&#8217;s family jet has emitted 300 metric tons of carbon dioxide since the Biden administration began.
Saturday afternoon, Schumer and Coons similarly amped up the crowd by promising to look after the citizens of other countries. Coons was particularly laudatory of &#8220;global citizens.&#8221;
&#8220;As chair of the Senate subcommittee that funds all of our foreign assistance, I will keep working with Senator Schumer to fund issues like climate change and improve the lives of millions and millions of families across the globe,&#8221; Coons told the crowd.
&#8220;Thank you Global Citizens for everything you do!&#8221; he added. &#8220;You are the wind beneath our wings!&#8221;
&#8220;You are the greatest,&#8221; Schumer chimed in. &#8220;And we are in a New York State of Mind.&#8221;
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Senators Schumer &amp; Coons on the American Fight Against Climate Change | Global Citizen Festival: NYC" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/DYlwyHk3wTQ?start=28&#038;feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Did you get that? Global citizens are the pinnacle of model human beings, according to Schumer and Coons.
MAGA Republicans, on the other hand, are threats to democracy and a basket of deplorables. Democratic leaders have zero interest in representing anybody not on board with their collectivist agenda.
The first lady also made it abundantly clear that the entire world is in a battle against American conservatives. For her part, Jill called on the whole planet to come together at this time.
&#8220;From the Paris agreement to defending democracy to standing up to the NRA, we’ve seen what’s possible when we come together, when we vote, when we raise our voices, and work for change,&#8221; the first lady said during the video address. &#8220;The world is counting on us, all of us, to stand up for the values we hold dear.&#8221;
It is not entirely clear what fighting a second amendment advocacy group in the U.S. has to do with feeding starving children abroad, but the first lady evidently thought it was necessary to mention her party&#8217;s fight against the NRA. &#8220;Defending democracy,&#8221; as readers well know, is a codeword for using the might of the federal government against Americans who support former President Donald J. Trump of the MAGA philosophy.
Of course, as America suffers from open borders, sends billions to places like Ukraine with zero oversight, and inflation runs wild, it&#8217;s obvious that the Democratic Party has other priorities than improving the lives of the average American or standing up to our enemies.
Well, now we know in their own words, they are focused on &#8220;global citizens.&#8221; Meanwhile, China is focused on <a href="https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/china-has-built-14-overseas-coal-plants-since-vowing-no-new-ones-1.1822049" target="_blank" rel="noopener">opening up another</a> coal plant.

Serious question: If <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">President Joe Biden</a> were your dad, would you let him live on his own? Or would you start having conversations with your siblings about putting him in a retirement home?
At the very least, you would likely discuss hiring a part-time caretaker because it is apparent that the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/white-house-stealth-edits-bidens-apparent-teleprompter-gaffe-internet-notices-mockery-ensues" target="_blank" rel="noopener">president isn&#8217;t quite all there</a> anymore.
Put another way, if your father <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-biden-falls-while-walking-up-steps-to-get-on-air-force-one" target="_blank" rel="noopener">had difficulty</a> getting up the stairs, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-roasted-after-falling-off-bicycle-a-perfect-metaphor-for-the-current-state-of-our-country" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fell down</a> on his bike, constantly <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/video-why-does-biden-constantly-wander-around-aimlessly-after-speeches" target="_blank" rel="noopener">meandered</a> about looking lost, broke his foot <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-says-he-broke-foot-after-exiting-shower-jokingly-running-after-dog-to-grab-his-tail" target="_blank" rel="noopener">while trying to pull your family&#8217;s dog&#8217;s tail</a> after getting out of the shower, and needed cue cards in approximate size 48 font just to know when he is <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/you-take-your-seat-bidens-notecard-has-step-by-step-instructions-for-everything-like-walking-into-room-and-sitting-down" target="_blank" rel="noopener">supposed to sit down</a>, how would you react? One would hope you&#8217;d be concerned about his wellbeing.
Biden does all of that and more. Yet his family seems quite content to keep him propped up as President of the United States.
Then, of course, there are his speech issues.
Biden has claimed that he has always had a <a href="https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/joe-biden-stutter/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stutter</a>. Interestingly enough, that didn&#8217;t really seem to be a problem before he turned 76 years old.
Many of his gaffes can&#8217;t be blamed on that sort of speech impediment. His long-winded stories are <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/joe-biden-tells-the-story-of-big-mama-and-repeats-false-claim-he-used-to-drive-a-truck" target="_blank" rel="noopener">replete</a> with lies that he tells over and over. Those &#8220;half-truths,&#8221; as they say in the Swamp, certainly can&#8217;t be caused by a stutter.
Come to think of it, he sounds more like an unprimed lawn mower nowadays. Or he sounds <a href="https://twitter.com/TimMeadsUSA/status/1572613445232775169?s=20&amp;t=W5WD-N8eqy1W13JAB3yubQ" target="_blank" rel="noopener">depressed</a>. And when the president isn&#8217;t sounding deflated, he&#8217;s going berserk on stage in a shrieking rage. See for yourself:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-conversation="none">

Why isn&#8217;t Jill, or even <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/struggling-artist-hunter-biden-asks-for-lower-child-support-payments" target="_blank" rel="noopener">struggling artist</a> Hunter, suggesting that he resign and get some rest?
Keeping with the theme of the article, now imagine that your dad was running a major company. He was, as they say, The Big Cheese, The Top Dog, The Head Honcho. Yet, all around him, his staffers constantly undermined his orders.
He would make one company announcement, and a few days later, a subordinate would tell all employees something else completely. That would obviously be concerning, but it would be even more concerning if your dad was unaware it was occurring.
That has happened multiple times in Biden&#8217;s presidency so far.
Perhaps most notably in March, when Biden <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/none-of-the-three-occurred-biden-denies-making-foreign-policy-gaffes-that-white-house-walked-back" target="_blank" rel="noopener">appeared</a> to tell American troops that they were headed to Ukraine, suggested that the United States might retaliate with a chemical weapon if Russia used one first, and alluded to the possibility of regime change in Russia.
Then his aides walked it all back. When asked about it, the president seemed like he didn&#8217;t have a clue his staff had retracted his comments, let alone that he made them in the first place.
“What’s getting walked back?” Biden responded when Fox News&#8217; Peter Doocey asked him point blank about the three retractions. After an explanation, the president interrupted, denying that had happened at all, “None of the three occurred.”
Then, this week, the president declared that America would <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-declares-u-s-troops-will-engage-in-war-with-china-if-taiwan-attacked-white-house-walks-back-statement" target="_blank" rel="noopener">send troops to defend Taiwan</a> should China invade, and that the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-shocks-white-house-by-declaring-pandemic-is-over-while-hundreds-of-americans-die-every-day" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pandemic was over</a>. Again, both remarks were retracted by anonymous White House officials.
Biden is surrounded by dozens, if not hundreds of aides, Secret Service, top-of-the-line doctors, and more. We still don&#8217;t know what he does at Delaware practically every weekend, but it&#8217;s safe to say he isn&#8217;t alone.
All of that raises the question posed in the title and opening lede: If you took away all the privilege and wealth Biden has, and he were your dad, would you let him live on his own? I would hope not.
That would be elder abuse. So, why isn&#8217;t anybody calling out the Biden family for what they&#8217;re doing to their patriarch?

Question: If Joe Biden Were Your Dad, Would You Let Him Live On His Own?

The leader of the free world was relegated to Westminster Abbey’s nosebleed seats for Monday’s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/thousands-of-mourners-wait-up-to-30-hours-to-see-queen-elizabeths-coffin-in-5-mile-long-line-dubbed-the-queue/">funeral of Queen Elizabeth</a>.
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">President Joe Biden</a> and first lady Jill Biden were seated 14 rows back for the service in what the British press described as the result of a complex seating plan devised under long-established protocols. Those with a better view included the president of Poland, the emperor and empress of Japan, other European royals and the King of Jordan.
“Biden isn&#8217;t very ego-driven but he&#8217;s going to be near the front,” Lord Renwick, who served as British ambassador to the United States in the early 1990s, told <a href="https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/how-to-avoid-a-hissy-fit-from-world-leaders-at-the-queens-funeral-the-diplomats-guide-wz5rzf7bd" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the Times</a>. “[French President] Macron would have hysterics if he wasn&#8217;t given a place of honor.

The Bidens were afforded one special privilege denied other royals and heads of state: Instead of suffering the indignity of arriving by bus, they were permitted to ride to the affair in “the beast,” as the presidential limousine is known. That’s because U.S. Secret Service protocols dictate that the president travel by armored car with a security detail on hand.
Renwick said it is standard for the American president to receive exemptions that other world leaders would not receive.
“We don’t permit huge swarms of protectors to be around them, although you have to rein off for the president of the United States. He is always surrounded by secret service agents wherever he goes,” he said.
Some 2,000 mourners attended the funeral for Queen Elizabeth, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/kate-middleton-shares-how-sweet-prince-louis-4-comforted-her-after-queen-elizabeths-death">who died Sept. 8 at 96</a>, after a record 70-year reign. King Charles and the rest of the royal family occupied the first two rows. Seated next to the Bidens in the legendary abbey’s south transept was Swiss President Ignazio Cassis.
The late queen was to be buried at Windsor Castle after the service.

Journalist Lara Logan ripped first lady Jill Biden, <a href="https://www.mediaite.com/tv/lara-logan-trashes-jill-biden-for-lying-about-her-husbands-dementia-truly-reprehensible-and-disgusting/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">calling her out</a> and accusing her of covering up what Logan called President Biden’s “dementia.”
Logan was responding to a New York Times <a href="//2C096BA2-6640-434B-8461-AF97178AE9A8/v" target="_blank" rel="noopener">opinion piece</a> by a member of their editorial board that mocked Republican candidates having their wives act as major parts of their campaigns.
“The notion that there is some meaningful insight about a candidate to be had from his spouse praising him in ads or defending him in interviews or simply appearing at his campaign events is weak at best. Gov. Ron DeSantis’s wife, Casey, may genuinely believe he’s the cat’s pajamas; that doesn’t change the guy’s disturbing authoritarian Trumpiness,” Michelle Cottle wrote.
Asked about the NYT piece by Newsmax’s Eric Bolling, Logan savaged Jill Biden.
“I believe in following the facts and the truth – and finding the principles – and there’s a principle here in what you’re talking about, right? Which is that you’re never going to see the New York Times doing an article about the fact that Jill Biden is propping up her husband,” she snapped.
“I mean, if you want to know something that is truly reprehensible and disgusting, here is this woman who knows that her husband has dementia, and yet she’s lying to the whole country,” she declared. “She’s lying to her own base, lying to her own supporters. I mean, if there’s anything nauseating about what anyone’s spouse is doing, it’s really quite extraordinary to watch this woman trying to cover up with for the absolute embarrassment that passes for a cognizant human being in the president today.”
At the end of her diatribe, Cottle wrote, “Women who value the ability to control their own bodies should make clear at the polls that they are too smart to fall for this lazy whitewashing.”
Logan commented that the Times piece arose out of desperation at the GOP’s chances in November. She asserted, “This article is very small. We’ve become very, very small across the New York Times and much of the media. To me, it’s really an act of desperation, because the vast majority of people in this country see through these tactics, right? They know it’s not nice to talk about people like that in your personal life yet alone in the newspapers.”

In yet another attempt by Democrats to link those who acted terribly on January 6, 2021, with conservatives standing up on other issues, Rep. Hank Johnson (D-GA) compared conservative parents who have protested at school board meetings to the miscreants of January 6.
Johnson’s comments dovetailed with first lady Jill Biden <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/all-books-should-be-in-the-library-jill-biden-takes-shot-at-parents-concerned-about-inappropriate-books-in-school-libraries" target="_blank" rel="noopener">implicitly criticizing parents</a> who have protested against the inclusion of inappropriate books at school libraries by insisting “All books should be in the library. All books. This is America. We don’t ban books.”
“January 6, 2021 will never be forgotten: an infamous day in American history. MAGA Republicans descended upon the Capitol, engaged in an insurrection; they occupied the Capitol,” Johnson started his diatribe. “Five people were killed; hundreds injured; including hundreds of Capitol Hill police officers, attacked and bludgeoned. It was a day that we’ll never forget.”
Then Johnson, who in a 2010 House Armed Services Committee hearing <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QjG958lZ1KI" target="_blank" rel="noopener">asked a Navy admiral</a> if overpopulation could cause the island of Guam to “tip over and capsize,” linked January 6 to concerned parents protesting at school board meetings: “And people on the local level at affected school board meetings. They won’t forget the MAGA Republicans descending on their school board meetings after January 6, like January 6.”
Johnson declared that parents protesting at school board meetings were part of a “coordinated attack happening across the country,” adding, “Americans won’t forget about it. School board members, teachers, administrators subjected to violence, threats of violence, harassment, intimidation.”
Then Johnson segued to the infamous letter written by the National School Boards Association in which they claimed that some of the actions at school board meetings “could be the equivalent to a form of domestic terrorism and hate crimes.”
Johnson claimed that in response to the “threats of violence, harassment, intimidation,” “the National School Boards Association sent a letter to the Biden administration seeking federal help. Things had gotten so far out of hand.”
“And by the way, there’s not one scintilla of evidence, either direct or indirect, that there was any coordination between the Biden administration and the National School Boards Association that caused that letter to be sent seeking federal assistance,” he insisted.
Yet the original letter acknowledged “recent discussions with White House and U.S. Department of Education staff on many critical issues facing public schools, including threats school officials are receiving.” Additionally, Chip Slaven, the CEO of the National School Boards Association <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/nsba-collaborated-with-white-house-before-letter-describing-domestic-terrorism-at-school-board-meetings-report/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sent an email</a> announcing the letter “was sent to President Biden concerning threats to public schools and school board members,” adding, “Additionally, in talks over the last several weeks with White House staff, they requested additional information on some of the specific threats, so the letter also details many of the incidents that have been occurring.’”
Viola Garcia, the president of NSBA, sent an email on October 2 stating, “NSBA has been engaged with the White House and the Department of Education on these and other issues related to the pandemic for several weeks now.”
The National School Boards Association <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/nsba-apologizes-for-letter-describing-potential-domestic-terrorism-at-school-board-meetings/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ultimately apologized</a> for the letter, stating, “&#8230; there was no justification for some of the language included in the letter. We should have had a better process in place to allow for consultation on a communication of this significance. We apologize also for the strain and stress this situation has caused you and your organizations.”

First lady Jill Biden, who got her doctoral degree in educational from the University of Delaware, implicitly criticized American parents who feel inappropriate books are lying on the bookshelves of the children’s school libraries.
In recent years, many parents have stood up to school boards and denounced schools for their inclusion of books they feel teach inappropriate values to their children.
Biden was prompted by NBC’s “Today” host Sheinelle Jones, who started by noting something that would have caused nary a ripple in the past.
“Parents and politicians are now weighing in on what books should be in our school libraries and what their kids are being taught. Where is the line in your opinion, with how much of a say parents should have when it comes to what their kids are learning in school,” she asked.
“Well, I think with the pandemic, parents saw how hard teachers work and how difficult this job really is,” Biden <a href="https://grabien.com/story.php?id=393629" target="_blank" rel="noopener">answered</a>. “And I think  if they work together in their school districts and decide what they want with their curriculum.”
“Is there a balance between this book should be in the library, this book is under review?” Jones asked.
“All books should be in the library,” Biden pronounced. “All books. This is America. We don’t ban books.”
In November 2021, the mother of a Fairfax high school student in Virginia was <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/virginia-mother-who-exposed-pornographic-reading-material-in-curriculum-barred-from-entering-high-school-library/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">prevented</a> from entering the school’s library. Stacy Langton was told by Fairfax High School’s acting principal Maureen Keck she was forbidden from entering the library, the Washington Examiner <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/virginia-mother-who-exposed-pornographic-books-barred-from-high-school-library" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.
Prior to her being barred from the library, as Luke Rosiak of The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-mom-reads-graphic-gay-porn-found-in-school-library-to-school-board" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>, Langton had made national news after reading aloud to the school board several books available to students that included graphic depictions of sex and pedophilia.
As opposed to Jill Biden’s laissez-faire attitude regarding books that might be inappropriate for children, in March, Florida GOP Governor Ron DeSantis signed HB 1467, the “K-12 Education” bill, into law. The bill <a href="https://www.flsenate.gov/Session/Bill/2022/1467/BillText/er/PDF" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stated</a>:
<blockquote>
Each district school board must adopt a policy regarding an objection by a parent or a resident of the county to the use of a specific instructional material, which clearly describes a process to handle all objections and provides for resolution.
The process must provide the parent or resident the opportunity to proffer evidence to the district school board that: Any material used in a classroom, made available in a school library, or included on a reading list contains content that is pornographic or prohibited under s. 847.012, is not suited to student needs and their ability to comprehend the material presented, or is inappropriate for the grade level and age group for which the material is used.
</blockquote>
DeSantis called the bill the “strongest curriculum transparency legislation in the country.”

The monarch died peacefully on Thursday, surrounded by family, Buckingham Palace announced.
The Queen “was more than a monarch,” the joint statement from the Bidens <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2022/09/08/statement-of-president-joe-biden-and-first-lady-jill-biden-on-the-death-of-queen-elizabeth-ii/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>. “She defined an era.”
“In a world of constant change, she was a steadying presence and a source of comfort and pride for generations of Britons, including many who have never known their country without her,“ the Bidens continued. “An enduring admiration for Queen Elizabeth II united people across the Commonwealth. The seven decades of her history-making reign bore witness to an age of unprecedented human advancement and the forward march of human dignity.”
“She was the first British monarch to whom people all around the world could feel a personal and immediate connection—whether they heard her on the radio as a young princess speaking to the children of the United Kingdom, or gathered around their televisions for her coronation, or watched her final Christmas speech or her Platinum Jubilee on their phones,” the statement said. “And she, in turn, dedicated her whole life to their service.”
The Bidens said Queen Elizabeth “led always with grace, an unwavering commitment to duty, and the incomparable power of her example.”
The late monarch was joined by her beloved Prince Philip, the president noted. The pair were married for some 73 years before the prince passed last year at age 99.
“She endured the dangers and deprivations of a world war alongside the British people and rallied them during the devastation of a global pandemic to look to better days ahead,” the statement continued. “Through her dedication to her patronages and charities, she supported causes that uplifted people and expanded opportunity. By showing friendship and respect to newly independent nations around the world, she elevated the cause of liberty and fostered enduring bonds that helped strengthen the Commonwealth, which she loved so deeply, into a community to promote peace and shared values.”
“Queen Elizabeth II was a stateswoman of unmatched dignity and constancy who deepened the bedrock Alliance between the United Kingdom and the United States,“ the pair said. “She helped make our relationship special.”
“In the years ahead, we look forward to continuing a close friendship with The King and The Queen Consort,” the statement added, referring to Charles and his wife, Camilla. “Today, the thoughts and prayers of people all across the United States are with the people of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth in their grief. We send our deepest condolences to the Royal Family, who are not only mourning their Queen, but their dear mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. Her legacy will loom large in the pages of British history, and in the story of our world.”
