Apparently someone forgot to tell the Afgans and Taliban that?

Joey Bag of Stupid also was back on the "deer wearing Kevlar" idiocy again too. The man is truly gone.

An F-15 would be totally useless in this application as people, even Democrats, wouldn't accept the collateral damage.

Nah, I don't think it even gets that far. Who is going to prep, fuel, load ordnance, and fly military aircraft against what would essentially be family and friends? Answer: No one. These big weapons are useless without dozens of human beings managing them, and those dozens of humans aren't going to be managing anything if the order is to turn those weapons on Americans on American soil. Joey Bag of Stupid's got nothing.

Biden seeks $47B for Ukraine, COVID-19, monkeypox, disasters

https://apnews.com/article/rus...32baa2fab90001a11148

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden is asking Congress to provide more than $47 billion in emergency dollars that would go toward the war in Ukraine, the response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the ongoing monkeypox outbreak and help for recent natural disasters in Kentucky and other states.

The request, which comes as lawmakers are preparing to return to Washington and fund the government, seeks $13.7 billion related to Ukraine, including money for equipment, intelligence support and direct budgetary support. Shalanda Young, the director of the White House Office of Management and Budget, said that more than three-fourths of the $40 billion approved by Congress earlier this year has already been disbursed or committed.

“We have rallied the world to support the people of Ukraine as they defend their democracy and we cannot allow that support to Ukraine to run dry,” Young said in a blog post.

The White House request will play into congressional budget negotiations in the coming weeks as financing for federal agencies is set to run out Sept. 30. Both parties will be seeking to avoid a government shutdown in the weeks before the midterm elections, but they will have to work out differences over issues like the COVID-19 aid, which has been a sticking point for many months as the White House has said more money is needed for vaccines and testing and Republicans have pointed to the trillions that have already been approved.

In Friday’s request, the White House is seeking $7.1 billion to procure additional vaccines and for replenishing personal protective equipment in the Strategic National Stockpile, among other measures. Another $8 billion would go to accelerate research for next-generation vaccines and therapeutics.

Biden is also seeking $2 billion to continue COVID-19 testing programs, including an initiative to distribute free at-home tests that ended on Friday as the government says it is running short on funds. White House officials say they have some tests left in the stockpile, but not enough to provide free tests if cases sharply increase.

Congress has not moved forward on similar administration requests for the COVID-19 response amid the partisan stalemate.

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said the White House has repeatedly warned that there would be trade-offs if that money wasn’t approved, and “that is precisely what happened.” The lack of free testing kits, for example, “leaves our domestic testing capacity diminished for a potential fall surge,” she said.

The administration is also asking for $4.5 billion to bolster its efforts to fight monkeypox amid the ongoing outbreak. Officials said they have already depleted significant reserves from the national stockpile to provide over 1.1 million vials of vaccine.

The money would help ensure access to vaccinations, testing and treatment, and also help fund the global effort to fight the disease, administration officials said.

For disaster relief, the White House is asking for $6.5 billion, including money for the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s disaster relief fund, farmers affected by weather events and efforts to increase the resilience of the electric grid. As part of that request, the administration is also asking for $1.4 billion to address unmet disaster recovery needs in several states, including for recent devastating floods in Kentucky.

Friday Humor: White House Takes Credit For Creating 10 Billion Jobs

https://www.zerohedge.com/poli...ting-10-billion-jobs

It appears Common Core math has crept its way into the highest echelons of the Biden administration.

On Friday, White House spox Karine Jean-Pierre attempted to actually answer a question - except, while her boss can't read a teleprompter - Jean-Pierre apparently can't read a binder when she's not deflecting.

When asked what she thinks about a variety of terrible metrics since Biden took office, she panicked and attempted to rattle off a list of economic accomplishments, which did not go well.

"Under President Biden, student test scores has gone backwards, inflation has gone the wrong direction, workers' real wages have come down. We're seeing spending on programs and promised that at some point in the future, the transition will be over. What, in the last 20 months, where's the progress?" asked Fox Business correspondent Edward Lawrence.

After rattling off some broad brush strokes, Lawrence reiterates: "But inflation still outpaces wages," to which Pierre turned to her trusty binder of accomplishments, where she noted that the White House has created "nearly ten-thousand million jobs," which she bragged was "the fastest job growth in history - so you're asking me 'where's the success?'"

Obama Appointed Judge Rules in Favor of Biden on Wyoming Oil Lease Pause

https://www.theepochtimes.com/...hTXJBlh6TAgK4JGFMO2t

A federal judge sided with the Biden administration in a lawsuit related to the government halting oil and gas leases in the state of Wyoming.

On Jan. 27, 2021, President Joe Biden issued an executive order instructing the Department of the Interior (DOI) to temporarily pause all new oil and gas leases on federal lands and offshore waters until an assessment is completed to determine the potential “climate and other impacts” of such actions. The DOI secretary postponed most scheduled leases in Q1 2021, and did not carry out any lease sales in Q2. The Mineral Leasing Act (MLA) of 1920 grants authority to the DOI secretary to lease federal land for developing natural resources.

The Petroleum Association of Wyoming and the Western Energy Alliance filed a lawsuit against the DOI’s actions on Jan. 27, 2021. On March 24, 2021, the state of Wyoming filed its lawsuit. Both cases were then consolidated into one.

Petitioners alleged that the DOI’s actions were not in line with governing law, were arbitrary or capricious, and were an abuse of discretion.

U.S. District Judge Scott W. Skavdahl looked at whether the industry petitioners and the state of Wyoming had the standing to challenge the DOI regarding its leasing actions in the first two quarters of 2021.

In his ruling (pdf), the judge pointed out that the lease postponement or cancellation decisions taken by the DOI only took place after Jan. 27, 2021, when the two industry petitioners had filed the lawsuit. As a result, the industry petitioners lacked the standing to challenge the DOI’s actions, Skavdahl judged.


With regard to the state of Wyoming, Skavdahl noted that the DOI had postponed all March 2021 lease sales as of March 24 when the petitioner filed its lawsuit. As such, Wyoming only has standing to challenge the DOI’s postponement of March 2021 lease sales and not “anything beyond the first-quarter lease sale postponements in this lawsuit.”

Blocking Biden’s Oil Lease Pause
Skavdahl’s ruling comes weeks after another federal judge issued a permanent injunction against Biden’s temporary halt of oil and gas leases.

Terry Doughty, U.S. district judge for the Western District of Louisiana, ruled on Aug. 18 that the White House overreached itself with the ban. The judgment came as part of a lawsuit filed by 13 states. The judge noted that the MLA requires the DOI to hold lease sales on eligible lands.

“By stopping the process, the agencies are in effect amending two Congressional statutes. Neither the OCSLA (Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act) nor the MLA gives the Government Defendants’ agencies the authority to implement a Stop of lease sales,” Doughty, a Trump appointee, said in the ruling.

However, Doughty’s ruling only applies to the 13 states involved in the case and not to Wyoming as the state was not a party in the lawsuit.

Are any of the republicans trying to fight against all this money going to Ukraine and voting against it as well?

Huh? Biden Screams That He “Beat Pharma This Year”

During a Labor Day speech in Milwaukee Monday, Joe Biden screamed that he “beat pharma this year” despite the fact that he provided billions in record profits for the pharmaceutical industry by attempting to enforce vaccine mandates.

Biden Admin Is Placing Vending Machines Filled With Drug Supplies in Rural Kentucky

https://freebeacon.com/biden-a...s-in-rural-kentucky/

The Biden administration is set to spend $3.6 million to deploy vending machines filled with drug supplies in rural Kentucky—an effort the Biden administration claims will reduce stigma for drug users.

The project from the National Institutes of Health was launched in August and will study the effectiveness of "harm reduction kiosks" in rural Appalachia that contain "injection equipment, naloxone, fentanyl test strips, hygiene kits, condoms, and other supplies." The vending machines allow drug users to obtain items such as syringes without interacting with a health professional, in hopes of eliminating the "stigma" that comes with visiting an in-person harm reduction facility, according to the health agency.

The White House referenced the project in an August 31 press release on its actions taken "to address addiction and the overdose epidemic." The administration has adopted a wide range of harm reduction policies, which aim to make illicit drug use safer rather than eliminate it.

The Washington Free Beacon in February reported that the Department of Health and Human Services was set to fund the distribution of crack pipes through a $30 million harm reduction grant program. The administration backed off the funding plans amid public backlash, and the New York Times reported that the uproar over plans to fund crack pipes "derailed" Biden's drug policy agenda. The White House, however, still appears willing to adopt controversial harm reduction policies—the New York Times reported in July that Biden's drug czar Dr. Rahul Gupta was supportive of legalized injection sites, which allow users to take drugs with supervision from health professionals.

The new study, which is conducted by the University of Kentucky, appears to be the first effort from the federal government to deploy harm-reduction vending machines. Harm reduction vending machines have been popularized in Canada, Australia, and other countries. A few U.S. states, including New York, Rhode Island, Ohio, and Nevada, have deployed the machines in recent years. The machines sometimes include smoking kits, which in many cases include crack pipes.

The University of Kentucky declined to comment, directing the Free Beacon‘s inquiry to the NIH. The National Institute on Drug Abuse, which heads the project at the NIH, told the Free Beacon that along with drug paraphernalia, the vending machines will include "food kits, water, socks and gloves, feminine hygiene products, wound care, and resources/guides." The agency did not respond to questions regarding the status of the kiosk program.

Let’s not address the base issue…the drugs.

I’d be tempted to give one of those boxes the necklacing treatment.

The mentality of the leftists.

The Biden administration has announced that Dr. Daskalakis will be the Deputy White House Monkey pox Response Coordinator. And from the pics at the linked article, it looks like he'll fit right in with the administration of misfits.

“Demetre Daskalakis, a leading public health expert, is currently Director of the CDC Division of HIV Prevention. Widely known as a national expert on health issues affecting the LGBGQIA+ communities, his clinical practice has focused on providing care for the underserved LGBTQIA+ communities. He previously oversaw management of infectious diseases for the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, one of the largest departments in the nation – including in serving as incident commander for the City’s COVID-19 response.” the White House said.

The above named Dr appointed. He looks like he knows the INS and outs of the Monkey pox.

Biden spokeswoman struggles to defend personal tweets claiming 2016, 2018 elections 'stolen'

https://justthenews.com/politi..._campaign=newsletter

After criticizing proponents of former President Donald Trump's narrative that the 2020 presidential election was stolen, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre struggled to defend her own past tweets making similar claims about elections in 2016 and 2018.

Fox News reporter Peter Doocy asked Jean-Pierre account for her own comments questioning the legitimacy of Trump's 2016 victory and that of Georgia Republican Gov. Brian Kemp in 2018.

"You tweeted Trump stole an election. You tweeted Brian Kemp stolen an election" Doocy said, before Jean-Pierre interrupted. Doocy, nonetheless, continued. "If denying election results is extreme now..."

The press secretary again interrupted. "So let's be really clear. That comparison that you made is just ridiculous."

Jean-Pierre did acknowledge her past comments, saying "I was talking specifically at that time of what was happening with voting rights and what was in danger of voting rights. That's what I was speaking to at the time."

In December 2016, a month after Trump's victory over Hillary Clinton, Jean-Pierre tweeted: " “Stolen emails, stolen drone, stolen election …..welcome to the world of #unpresidented Trump.”

Two years later she made a similar claim about Kemp's victory in Georgia. "Reminder: Brian Kemp stole the gubernatorial election form Georgians and Stacey Abrams."

In 2018, Kemp narrowly defeated then-Democratic rising Stacey Abrams after a protracted ballot counting process. Abrams refused to concede the election and pushed the narrative that voter suppression cost her the race. She was also a prominent critic of a subsequent election integrity bill that Kemp signed into law following the voter fraud allegations of the 2020 election.

The press-secretary's defense this week was mocked by conservatives on social media. "She’s not bright," conservative activist Ned Ryun tweeted. "You know this question is coming; it’s inevitable. And this is her answer??"



Jean-Pierre's difficulty answering questions about her own tweets come after President Joe Biden gave a widely panned speech slamming conservatives who question the 2020 election outcome or the rules under which it was run.

"I will not stand by and watch — I will not — the will of the American people be overturned by wild conspiracy theories and baseless, evidence-free claims of fraud," Biden declared. "I will not stand by and watch elections in this country stolen by people who simply refuse to accept that they lost,"
