⚡️Moscow: If US rejects security proposals, Russia will be forced to create counterthreats

Remember how President Biden recently referred to VP Kamala Harris as “President Harris” during his speech at South Carolina State University?

Well, it turns out that Kamala ended up taking the rap for such an oversight.

🗣 "I want to know who the real president of this country is - is it Joe Biden, or Joe Manchin?" Charlamagne asked Kamala on his Comedy Central show.

🗣 “C'mon, Charlamagne,” she said. “No, no, no, no, it’s Joe Biden,” she repeated as he tried to give his reasons for the question.

🗣 “And don’t start talking like a Republican, about asking whether or not he’s president. ... And it's Joe Biden, it's Joe Biden and I'm vice president and my name is Kamala Harris, ”she added defiantly

⚡️ According to local media reports, rockets targeted the US embassy in Baghdad on Saturday night. One rocket reportedly landed in the vicinity of the embassy, while the second one fell outside the embassy

All the Democrats want to do is put people in jail. They are vicious, violent, and Radical Left thugs. They are destroying people’s lives, which is the only thing they are good at. They couldn’t get out of Afghanistan without disgracing our Country. The economy and inflation are a disaster. They’re letting thugs and murderers into our Country—their DA’s, AG’s, and Dem Law Enforcement are out of control. This is what happens in communist countries and dictatorships, and they don’t think they’ll be held accountable for rigging the 2020 Presidential Election. The Jan. 6 Unselect Committee is a coverup for what took place on November 3rd, and the people of our Country won’t stand for it. 

Connecticut Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal said in an interview that he regrets attending a communist awards ceremony last week.

🗣"My understanding was that this ceremony was strictly a labor event, '' Blumenthal said Friday in a telephone interview with the Hartford Courant." If I had known the details, I wouldn't have gone. ... Let me just say very emphatically, I'm a Democrat and a strong believer in American capitalism. I have been consistently a Democrat and a strong supporter and believer in American capitalism''

😁 Richard, how many communist awards ceremonies have you accidentally attended?

⚡️ Former Georgia Republican Sen. Johnny Isakson has died at the age of 76, Gov. Brian Kemp said in a statement on Sunday

Sen. Joe Manchin caused quite a stir in the Democratic nest after indicating he would vote against President Biden's roughly $2 trillion social spending package known as the Build Back Better Act.

Let's take a look at the reactions of some of them:

▪️ Senator Bernie Sanders harshly criticized the senator, saying that Manchin's "no vote" meant that the West Virginian did not have the courage to stand up to special interest groups to lower the cost of prenoscription drugs, and that he was not able to expand the scope of home health care and medical care;

▪️ White House press secretary Jen Psaki also issued a scathing statement: "Senator Manchin's comments this morning on FOX are at odds with his discussions this week with the President, with White House staff, and with his own public utterances," Psaki said;

▪️ Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez did not spare the West Virginia senator: "Either way, we cannot accept no for an answer. Dem leadership - incl but not limited to the President himself and House Dem leadership - wrote a massive check on their credibility the night of the BIF vote in order to secure the votes they needed, promising passage of BBB," she said on her Twitter.

Manchin's vote against the massive spending bill aimed at overhauling the social safety net, health care system, climate and tax policies seriously jeopardizes the Democrats' plan to push the legislation through after negotiations, as it requires 50 votes to pass

🇺🇸🇨🇳Former US President Donald Trump has objected to the Biden administration's decision to boycott the 2022 Winter Olympics in China, citing his memory of a similar move by Jimmy Carter against the Moscow Olympics in 1980.

"No, because I watched Jimmy Carter do it and it was terrible. It was terrible. It hurts the athletes. There are much more powerful things we can do than that," Trump said in an interview with Fox News, when asked if he would do it.

The 2022 boycott will be of a diplomatic nature, meaning that US athletes are still free to compete. In 1980, US athletes missed the games.
