Biden told a brazen lie about wanting to play lacrosse and football at the same time.
“I wanted to play lacrosse, but you had to choose between lacrosse and football. You couldn’t play both in the same season. I was the runner-up in the state scoring championship! Don’t laugh, man!” Biden said.
Football is a fall sport and lacrosse is a spring sport.
Joe Biden is a pathological liar.
Per Zach Parkinson: Archmere Academy (Biden’s high school) didn’t have a boy’s lacrosse team until 1993, 32 years after he graduated.

Joe is still confused by the pep rallies where all the players had to wear pillowcases on their heads.

Fox apparently removed the video, because Skidmark’s link is the one that pops up in a search of that headline at the site. Either stray gamma rays dunnit, or someone at Fox decided we don’t need to know.
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Good. Don’t give him anything he wants until he does his job properly. Not to mention that it would actually be cheaper to enforce the border compared to leaving it wide open.

How can we improve on a proxy war that Congress has funded but never declared and has never been brought to the American people by Joe? Have a hissy fit about funding and put our folks in a spot where they will be martyrs of Austin’s stupidity.

Sort of sounds like the front office of my work. There is usually one day a week where the population of cubicle critters reaches a local maximum. You have to question whether the FBI new headquarters isn’t more about imperialism. Maybe an AI can build virtual cubicles for cheap.

Yes. They want you to set your thermostat at 60 in the winter and 90 in the summer, but you can bet all those empty offices haven't seen any changes to the thermostat since the day they first closed down for St. COVID.

The very definition of non-essential personnel - shitcan them all.
[NYPOST] Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy announced Wednesday that he will retire at the end of 2023, saying his “work is only getting started” in recruiting other Republicans to run for Congress.
McCarthy (R-Calif.), 58, wrote in a Wall Street Journal op-ed that 17 years after first running to represent California in the House, he had “decided to depart the House at the end of this year to serve America in new ways.”
“I’m an optimist. How could I not be? I’m the son of a firefighter. For 17 years I’ve served in the same congressional seat — the same office in which I was once denied an internship. Only in America,” he wrote.
“I will continue to recruit our country’s best and brightest to run for elected office. The Republican Party is expanding every day, and I am committed to lending my experience to support the next generation of leaders.”
McCarthy’s departure will bring House Republicans’ majority down to two votes, following the expulsion of lying Rep. George Santos (R-NY) on Dec. 1.

Door...ass...bang.
(Newfangled version of the 'don't let the screen door hit you in the ass on the way out' of my youth.)
We are now shown that all of McCarthy's yammering about 'standing together for the good of the party' meant precisely dick. Take his ball and go, to a CNN gig likely.

Remember he gets to convert his 'reelection fund' to personal use. Bets he got that topped off as speaker?
[NYPOST] The results from the latest international assessments show a 13-point drop in US math scores from 2018 to 2022, and the president of the second-largest teachers union is using it as another opportunity to gaslight the public about her role in COVID-era school closures.
Randi Weingarten, American Federation of Teachers president, took to X to repeat the lie that teachers "unions worked hard to reopen US schools for safe in-person learning beginning back in April 2020."
TRULY ORWELLIAN.
Weingarten turned off comments on her post to attempt to avoid public backlash. In other words, she closed her replies like she closed the schools.
Her attempt to avoid public accountability didn’t work, however. The same day, X users slapped a Community Note fact-check on her post calling out her "revisionist" history.
Her union threatened "safety strikes" in 2020 and successfully lobbied the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to make it more difficult to reopen schools in person. The union’s lobbying worked. In at least two instances, the union’s suggestions made it into the CDC guidance nearly verbatim. The CDC wasn’t following the "science." It was following the "political science."
Randi Weingarten called the president’s plan to reopen schools "reckless," "callous" and "cruel."
[FoxNews] New lawsuit says that State Department-funded technologies are 'intentionally' blacklisting conservative news sites.
The State Department is facing a lawsuit for funding a "censorship regime" built by technologies that blacklist conservative media outlets.
In a suit filed by the New Civil Liberties Alliance (NCLA), the State Department is accused of "funding and promotion of censorship technologies and private censorship enterprises that blacklist" conservative news sites The Federalist and The Daily Wire, which negatively impacts the platforms’ "ability to circulate and distribute their publications to both current and potential audiences."
The lawsuit claims that the State Department technologies are "intentionally destroying" the conservative sites’ ability to obtain advertisers.
"Defendants have been granted no statutory authority to fund or promote censorship technology or censorship enterprises that target the American press, tarring disfavored domestic news organizations as purveyors of ‘disinformation,’" the lawsuit says.
"There is no enumerated general power to censor speech or the press found in the United States Constitution, and the First Amendment expressly forbids it, providing: "Congress shall make no law... abridging the freedom of speech or of the press," it continues.
"The State Department’s use of tax dollars to fund the silencing of a segment of the American press is appalling — and terrifying. A free and open press is foundational to our constitutional Republic, which is precisely why the Bill of Rights guarantees freedom of speech and freedom of the press in the First Amendment," Margot Cleveland, counsel at NCLA, said in a statement.
According to the lawsuit, the State Department uses its Global Engagement Center (GEC) to finance the development and promotion of censorship technology and enterprises, including NewsGuard and the Global Disinformation Index.
"These entities generate blacklists of ostensibly risky or unreliable American news outlets for the purpose of discrediting and demonetizing the disfavored press and redirecting money and audiences to news organizations that publish favored viewpoints," the lawsuit states.
Mark Chenoweth, president and general counsel at NCLA said, "The federal government cannot do indirectly what the First Amendment forbids it from doing directly. The chilling censorship machinations alleged in this complaint will frighten all liberty-loving Americans to the core."
The GEC’s stated mission is to "direct, lead, synchronize, integrate, and coordinate U.S. Federal Government efforts to recognize, understand, expose, and counter foreign state and non-state propaganda and disinformation efforts aimed at undermining or influencing the policies, security, or stability of the United States, its allies, and partner nations."
The lawsuit notes that while Congress dramatically expanded the breadth of GEC’s mission, its purpose remained limited to combating "foreign" disinformation.
"Congress explicitly included a limitation in the spending bills that provided: ‘None of the funds authorized to be appropriated or otherwise made available to carry out this section shall be used for purposes other than countering foreign propaganda and misinformation that threatens United States national security,’" it says.
"While Congress forbade GEC from using funds appropriated or otherwise made available to it to counter Americans’ speech… many of GEC’s activities and initiatives targeted speech spoken in America among Americans, including Media Plaintiffs’ speech and press rights," the lawsuit says.
"George Orwell, call your office: The Disinformation Governance Board is back!" said Peggy Little, senior litigation counsel at NCLA, referring to a now-shuttered controversial office within the Department of Homeland Security.
"Worse, it was here all along quietly operating out of the State Department through three presidential administrations with the admitted intent of cutting off advertising dollars and viewership from conservative media outlets," she added.
The State Department did not return comment by time of publication.
The lawsuit was filed Tuesday in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas.

Gateway Pundit:
Rep. Matt Gaetz Sends Letter to House Admin Chair Asking Why The Gateway Pundit is Being Blocked on House Computers, Requests Answers by Dec. 12 – LETTER INCLUDED.
[MSN -StateOfTheUnion] The Florida Democratic Party has excluded Rep. Dean Phillips and Marianne Williamson from the state’s primary ballot, leaving President Joe Biden as the sole candidate. The little people don't matter.
Phillips and Williamson criticized the move, with Phillips calling it disenfranchising and suppressive of Democratic voters. Whoda thunk! Voter supression by the Democrats!
A poll showed that 35% of registered Democrat primary voters in Florida do not support Biden.
"What happened in Florida yesterday is a tragedy and a travesty. The Florida Democratic Party — just a handful of people — decided to disenfranchise millions of Democratic voters in Florida by saying, ’We’re not gonna have a presidential primary,’" said Rep. Phillips.
"I’m running for president; there are others running for President as Democrats, and this is the kind of stuff that happens in Tehran, not in Tallahassee," he added.
"We’ve got to do something about this," he demanded. It's settled. Biden will be the nominee and you Rubes can sit down and shut up.
"I’ve been a lifelong Democrat... supported our party since I was in my 20s, been a member of Congress for three terms, and was a member of House Democratic leadership. I’ve never seen something so absurd, so disenfranchising, and so suppressive of Democratic voters," explained Rep. Phillips.
The Florida Democratic Party Chair dismissed Phillips’s concerns as "conspiratorial."
Florida Democratic Party Chair Nikki Fried said, "We are dismayed by Dean Phillips’ conspiratorial and inappropriate comments comparing the state of Florida to the Iranian regime as part of his knee-jerk reaction to long-established procedures."
Adding, "This is unbecoming of someone running for higher office."
Williamson also criticized the party’s decision, calling it absurd and unconstitutional.
"You have to jump through a lot of hoops to get on the ballot in states across the country, but Florida takes the cake: they won’t even let you try!" wrote Williamson on X, referencing the Sec. of State’s authority to "DECIDE who it wants to be on the ballot."
"This absurd and unconstitutional display is exactly how an authoritarian state works: People are told they can vote, but are informed by someone else who their options will be," she added.

I think it’s a brilliant idea for them to refuse to allow any other potential candidates exposure that might convince more voters that voting for a Democratic candidate is a good idea.

Since Harris is unelectable, my bet would be that Biden runs.
If (or as Dominion Voting Systems replaces with "When") Biden wins and is sworn in, he then has an 'episode' requiring him to retire and hand the keys over to Kamala.

The trajectories of Joe’s declining, popularity, mentality and legal troubles should intersect in the spring. He will be out of office one way or another. This move just prevents anyone else from gaining delegates in preparation for a brokered convention. The primary contest would have only been a chance for an undervote protest. We will see one in a state that does have a primary and it will spread like a Chinese virus.

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
