President Joe Biden (left) and first lady Jill Biden (right) walk out of the White House to Marine One en route to Camp David for a weekend away ahead of week that will define his presidency
* President Joe Biden left the White House Friday night - with first lady Jill Biden in tow - for a weekend away at Camp David
* His departure came at the end of a week that saw tens of thousand of Haitian migrants moved from camping under a bridge at the border with Mexico in Texas
* Next week could define Biden's presidency with a government shutdown and a showdown with Republicans on the debt ceiling looming
* All the while, he's trying to get his massive $3.5 trillion budget bill through Congress - a key part of his 'Build Back Better' agenda
* 'Let's just talk about it when I get through,' Biden answered when asked on the South Lawn if he was surprised that moderate Democrats are the holdouts
* He answered, 'Yeah, but I'm negotiating with them, not you guys,' when asked if he knew what moderates wanted
* Progressives in the House won't sign onto Biden's bipartisan infrastructure plan unless they're assured the $3.5 trillion budget bill will pass too
President Joe Biden left the White House Friday night together with first lady Jill Biden for a weekend away at Camp David at the end of a chaotic week that saw an impromptu border camp in Del Rio, Texas, cleared of thousands of Haitian migrants.
Nearly 30,000 migrants had been encountered in Del Rio in the past two weeks but by Friday morning there were none left in the camp beneath the international bridge that links the U.S. with Mexico.
More than 12,000 migrants will have a chance to make their case for protection before U.S. immigration judges, an estimated 8,000 voluntarily returned to Mexico, and 2,000 were expelled to Haiti.
The fate of others detained is to be decided.

WNU Editor: This has been another weird week in the Biden Presidency. Just learned that when he was meeting Indian Prime Minister Modi in the Oval Office this week, he claimed he was the Vice-President in 2020. Aside from the mumbling and being completely reliant on note-cards, he also has no trouble picking his nose while the cameras are on. See video below.
You seem to believe that the president should never have a weekend off!
ReplyDeletetime to put aside the bias. It is policy and getting what needs doing that count and not sitting in the White House while Congress is not in session.
How often did Trump go off somewhere while Virus raging? Border filling up with refugees?
How many casualties did Trump have? Less than Obama or Bush. Illegal border crossing spike during his 3rd year and then cam way down. Overall the average illegal border crossing Trump had were less than the feckless, evil Obama.

ReplyDeleteNose picking at 11:48. If he did not have mask, would he have ate it?
ReplyDeleteIt is policy and getting what needs doing that count ... does not matter, if the party leader is a figurehead and a moron.
I think if he was going to eat it he would have done so there and then.He is the President after all.
DeleteWorld leaders can be strange. Australia's ex Prime Minister Kevin Rudd has a peculiar habit of picking and eating his own earwax. Fazman can confirm this if he still frequents this blog.
BUSH et al kept us in Afghanistan. Trump made deal with the Taliban! and then could not or would not get us out. Biden did it! Blaming Dems is sheer biases bullshit. Biden ended our involvement. Not Trump.
ReplyDeleteTrump’s deal with the Taliban, explained
now grow some brains
Typical Lapides nonsense. Come on Freddy!
DeleteTrump did complete his deal himself, because the election was stolen (Thankyou Ruby Freeman). If he had been sworn in, we would have been out in May of 2021.
ReplyDeleteThe only proof that he could not get it done is the example of Syria, where Jim Jeffrey sand others lied to the president. That is called insubordination among the military and in Jeffrey's case it is a felony.
About brains. I actually have ACT, SAT and GRE test scores attesting to brains. You on the other hand do not.
Getting proof from Lapides is not for the faint of heart. He brags about all manner of things (military service, wife, children, foreign connections etc) but never provides proof. Just a common liar.
DeleteYou have this and that: which you do not show.But you say I do not, which you do not know. You are just stupid.

Lapides, what are you trying to say?
DeleteYou cite the Guardian? Really?
ReplyDeleteIf a person did not know the fix was in, they certainly knew it after the Republican Senate candidates won in the general and lost in the special election. I figured the junior Republican senator might lose, but not the senior one.

"-- Trump intensifies war with Georgia GOP leaders at Perry rally"
ReplyDeleteWhat is the problem here Freddie? You should be gleeful of a GOP civil war, since you are a devout, practicing liberal Democrat, socialist, Leftist and all around bad guy.
Or are you the site crier? Sort of like a town crier, but instead of news you cry propaganda?
When Ruby Freeman continually runs the same ballot containers through a tabulating machine multiple times it screams salted lot. That is ballot box stuffing. You may not know what a salted lot is, but that is just you showing your insouciance.
And Freddie did not read Betsy DeVos remarks, but the headline looked good, right Freddie?
And Freddie di not read the quotes by Council for National Policy.
Literally, Fred you have nothing except a loud mouth. There is not there there.
Michigan businesswoman, political megadonor and former U.S. Education Secretary Betsy DeVos implicitly criticized the GOP's ongoing capture by former President Donald Trump in a Saturday address to the Mackinac Republican Leadership Conference.
ReplyDeleteDeVos told attendees at the biennial conference on Mackinac Island she worries that "principles have been overtaken by personalities" in today's political environment.
IS THAT WHAT WAS MISSED? SEEMS TO SUGGEST THAT POLICIES ARE NEGLECTED IN FAVOR OF FAWNING OVER TRUMP, A CULT OF PERSONALITY HEY, BUT YOU WOULD KNOW ABOUT THAT, RIGHT, BRIGHT BOY?
"principles have been overtaken by personalities"
ReplyDeleteJust because someone has a strong personality does not mean principles are not there or evaporate.
You studied sociology back in the Stone Ages. Would you be so kind as to tell the dear readers here the axioms or theorems that shows once you have personality or God forbid a strong personality, principles go out the window?
Clinton and Obama had strong personalities. Who could forget the Man from Hope? You never held it against them. In fact I hold it is the very reason you voted for Clinton and Obama other than you are a Democrat drudge voter. Now you are so concerned for the Republicans that you must be a Von Munchausen by proxy personality. I fear for all the people you interact with. Do you go Von Munchausen on everyone?
Be truthful. All during the 2010s did you sing the Obama savior songs with tears in your eyes every morning?

"The global bullies took Barack’s measure by challenging his heroic, god-like image. They found Mr. Obama shrivels when faced with the realities of a dangerous world that cares little about an indecisive, media inflated, cult of personality president, whose foreign policy consists of spouting meaningless utopian, faculty lounge, platitudes … WHILE HE DOES NOTHING."

5:02 i.e. Mr. Worthless Degree,
ReplyDeleteThere were 70,000 ballots with significant problems, which is many times more than Biden's margin of victory.
What I was taught by another auditor, who was the head of our auditing team were to use words or phrases like "I saw" or "I found". We were not to say "we found x, so obviously y happened". For one you could be wrong. If you are just partially wrong, you look bad even if you are less wrong than they are. So that head auditor's training helped me take national professional auditing test.
What I see is the language of auditors. What you see is a way to spin things for your party unaware how freaking ignorant you are.
I have to suspend belief like I would at above to believe What Democrats allege. I have to suspend my training or experience in mathematics and auditing.
Ignorance must be bliss. It is you whole life. You write a book about how to do something (for which you may have had training for), but you never actually do that something (experience). Is that a blissfully life or an ignorant life.
