Biden can barely walk up a flight of stairs, a straight line, and when he is walking he has no idea where he is going. How on earth can he 'run' for President again???


One must seriously wonder, if his mental state is this bad in public, what is it like in the Oval Office. If it's half as bad as we see in every public appearance one must wonder who is really running this country???

Biden administration considers forcing migrant families to remain in Texas

quote:

The Biden administration is considering forcing some migrant families who enter the country without authorization to remain near the border in Texas while awaiting asylum screening, effectively limiting their ability to travel within the U.S., three U.S. officials told The Times.

Administration officials have been considering the idea as a way to stem recent increases in the numbers of migrant families crossing the southern border, which reportedly reached an all-time high last month. Supporters of the remain-in-Texas idea, which has yet to be finalized, hope that it would help the administration advance its goals of quickly deporting families who fail initial asylum screenings and deterring other families from crossing in the first place.

But the proposal, which recalls President Reagan’s efforts to limit asylum-seekers’ movements in the late 1980s, is likely to draw fierce opposition from immigrant rights groups and border-state officials. Since 2022, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, a Republican, has bused thousands of migrants out of his state to Democrat-run cities such as Los Angeles, New York and Washington, D.C.

The Biden plan would force certain migrant families to remain in Texas — or possibly other border states — by tracking their location through GPS monitoring devices, such as ankle bracelets, according to the three officials, who were not authorized to speak publicly on the matter. The families would be put through an asylum screening process to determine whether they could stay in the U.S. and proceed with their claims. Officials have discussed working with local organizations to provide housing for the families.

If the families failed their initial screenings, they’d be easier to deport because they’d be close to the border.

He can't keep them in Mexico, but he's going to keep them in Texas? Okay, sure.

Gun charges are the 'least' of Hunter's crimes Rep. James Comer claims

“Top Republican James Comer is accusing Hunter Biden prosecutor David Weiss of attempting to sneak through another 'sweetheart deal' for the president's son - who is facing an imminent indictment for his gun crimes.

On Wednesday, federal prosecutors on Weiss' team said in a filing that they plan to indict Hunter Biden on illegal gun charges - that have a maximum of 10 years in prison - by the end of September.

'They already tried to sneak something through once. We need to make sure that they don't do it again,' House Oversight Chairman Comer told WABC 770 AM's 'Cats & Cosby Show.'

'This is the least of all the crimes that Hunter Biden has committed,' he continued.

Comer referred to the original 'sweetheart deal' between Hunter and the DOJ from July that would have allowed him to walk away from gun and tax crimes with just a slap on the wrist and no prison time. Republicans had slammed as a 'sweetheart deal' that Biden's DOJ put together to protect him.

However, the deal blew up spectacularly after a hidden clause giving Hunter blanket immunity for a wide range of other potential charges, including illegal foreign lobbying, was uncovered by the judge. …”

I'd bet it's got something to do with this:

quote:

NEW YORK — New York City Mayor Eric Adams made some of his strongest comments yet on his concerns about the unending flow of migrants coming to the city, warning it will upend neighborhoods and continue to strain resources.

“Never in my life have I had a problem that I did not see an ending to. I don’t see an ending to this,” Adams said Wednesday night.

Adams, a Democrat, was speaking at a town hall organized by his office on Manhattan’s Upper West Side. His opening remarks lamented the financial impact of the city’s efforts to house and serve more than 100,000 migrants over the last year.

“This issue will destroy New York City. … All of us are going to be impacted by this. I said it last year when we had 15,000, and I’m telling you now at 110,000. The city we knew, we’re about to lose,” he continued.

Republicans praised Adams, jumping off his words to promote the party’s position of reducing immigration and knocking the White House for not doing more.

“The first step towards solving a problem is admitting you have one. Credit to Mayor Adams for being truthful in this clip about the scope of NYC’s migrant crisis,” Rep. Nick LaLota (R-N.Y.) wrote on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. “Now, he must repeal NYC’s sanctuary policies & President Biden must reinstate Remain in Mexico to help solve it.”

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has also seized Adams’ ongoing comments that the Biden administration and the state need to do more to help migrants find work and provide more aid to the city. Republicans are already making the migrant issue in New York a campaign issue heading into the 2024 elections in key House races.

“It has gotten so bad, even the leaders of Democrat strongholds like New York City and Massachusetts are throwing in the towel,” McCarthy said in a statement Tuesday. “They can’t handle the strain that the massive influx of people has had on their city and state.”

The mayor has long pointed to the recent wave of migration as a financial burden to the city, and one of the reasons he has had to order multiple rounds of budget cuts to city agencies.

The direct impact on city services so far has been limited, with most of the savings coming from eliminating unfilled positions and re-estimates of health care spending.

But Adams suggested there would be further cuts in the upcoming budget cycle.

“We have a $12 billion deficit that we’re going to have to cut,” he said. “Every service in this city is going to be impacted.”

Adams has repeatedly called for more federal funding, saying that asylum-seeking migrants coming to the city should not just be New York’s problem.

He has called out Biden directly, leading to tension between the two Democrats. That hasn’t gotten Adams great results.

The city has received about $140 million in federal funds, while spending about $1.5 billion in the last fiscal year on housing and serving migrants.

City Hall expects spending to escalate rapidly, to $4 billion over the current year. Adams has also called for a “decompression strategy” at the border to slow migration to New York and for the White House to expedite work permits for asylum-seekers, so they could legally make an income and provide for themselves.

But later in the night, when a resident at the town hall was despairing about the state of the city, Adams was back to his usual confident self.

“Don’t be consumed by the enormity of the problems that we’re facing,” he said. “There’s not one day that I don’t wake up and say, ‘We got this.’”

This way, NYC, San Francisco, and Seattle don't have to undo their sanctuary city nonsense and look weak, and the Biden admin gets to fuck Texas.

As I said before, this is really about trying to get an enormous amount of money from the fed. If they are given additional funds, it would be squandered and misspent on things barely related to the invaders… if at all. It’s the democRAT way.

It seems politicians are quick to calculate a number -- "we need 47 kajillion dollars!" -- but mighty slow to show an actual spending plan for those dollars with true measurable goals.

No surprise that a CNN poll would reflect the wrong things. The poll said that 49% of those polled were most concerned about Biden's age, while a whopping 7% each were most concerned about his health, mental sharpness, and his ability to do his job.

Yes, let's just forget that the most troubling thing about Biden is that he's an amoral, entirely corrupt, pathologically-lying, America-hating asshole who display complete and open contempt for American citizens.

But the most telling thing in the article is a remark by the ever-lying James Carville.

quote:

"For me to come on television and say I don't find this alarming or troubling at all, it'd be stupid of me."

In other words, he would lie if there were a chance he could pull it off. He has no idea how very revealing is that remark.

I’m sure that has been the plan all along. Deplete our oil reserves. Falsely allude that we’re ready to produce like we did during Trump. Pull the carpet out from under the whole shebang. Keep pushing electric cars. DemocRATS are liars by nature so it shouldn’t come as a surprise.

Possible diesel shortage and no strategic petroleum reserve to draw from. Stop drilling in Alaska too. Biden truly can screw things up.


Russia Set To Slash Diesel Exports In September

https://oilprice.com/Latest-En...ts-In-September.html


Amid refinery maintenance and rising domestic fuel prices, Russia is set to cut its diesel exports from its ports on the Baltic and Black Seas by nearly 25% in September compared to the export plans for August, Bloomberg reported on Friday, quoting industry data it had seen.

The shipments of diesel out of Russia’s western ports, including some exports from Belarus, are planned at 1.874 million tons in September, or 466,000 barrels per day (bpd), down from about 600,000 bpd planned for August exports, according to Bloomberg’s calculations.

The plan for diesel exports in September lays out the lowest shipments since May this year when spring refinery maintenance was in place.

Now the autumn refinery maintenance is also slashing diesel exports out of Russia.

The primary oil refining capacity that will be offline in Russia is set to soar by 44% in September compared to August amid seasonal maintenance, according to Reuters estimates based on data from industry sources.

As much as 4.635 million metric tons of Russia’s refining capacity is expected to be offline this month, industry sources have told Reuters.

Russia’s authorities are also recommending refineries curb exports and sell more fuel domestically to meet local demand, but the recommendation is not legally binding, according to Bloomberg.

Lower diesel shipments overseas would mean lower export revenues for Russia, which continues to earn billions of U.S. dollars each month from exports of crude and products.

Russia’s crude oil and refined products exports remained steady at some 7.3 million bpd in July, while higher oil prices and narrower price differentials for Russian crude pushed Moscow’s revenues higher compared to June, according to estimates by the International Energy Agency (IEA) in its market report in August. Russia’s export revenues, at $15.3 billion in July, rose by $2.5 billion from June, but they were $4.1 billion lower compared to July 2022, the agency’s estimates showed.

Hunter Biden testified recently that he was embarrassed by “offensive” content published from his laptop after he dropped it off for repair at The Mac Shop in Wilmington, Delaware, on April 12, 2019 — but still denies that the laptop or its contents are his.

The first son provided confusing and often contradictory testimony under oath on June 29 during a six-hour deposition related to a defamation action brought by John Paul Mac Isaac, the owner of the now-defunct computer repair shop, who accuses Hunter of falsely insisting the laptop was not his, or was stolen, or that his information was hacked.

Hunter is countersuing Mac Isaac, accusing him of illegally distributing his personal data and invading his privacy.

Portions of Hunter’s deposition are revealed for the first time in the opening brief of a motion filed by Mac Isaac, in Delaware Superior Court late Thursday, to dismiss the countersuit with prejudice.

Hunter refused to admit in his deposition that he visited The Mac Shop twice in April 2019, despite Mac Isaac presenting evidence that Hunter signed a work order and provided his contact information.

Bank records that Hunter was required to hand over to Mac Isaac’s legal team also show “frequent uses of Wells Fargo ATMs where significant withdrawals were made — all within a few miles of Mac Isaac’s shop,” the filing says.

Although Hunter claimed he “is without knowledge” as to his whereabouts on April 12, 2019, “Mac Isaac knows exactly where he was.”

Hunter’s “confused and dishonest responses prove fatal to all facts alleged in his counterclaims.”

Hunter claimed he was “embarrassed” by publication of private material that would be “highly offensive to a reasonable person,” according to the filing, yet much of the material that a reasonable person would find most offensive, such as sexually explicit photos, was “voluntarily shared by [Hunter] Biden with others through the website, ‘Pornhub.’ …

“The use of the ‘reasonable person’ standard should clearly not apply to Biden … It seems what would embarrass a reasonable person does not embarrass Biden.”

n his deposition, Hunter also:

Gave “confused and dishonest responses” about whether he dropped off the laptop with Mac Isaac on April 12, 2019, or returned a day or two later at Mac Isaac’s request with an external hard drive onto which his data could be transferred.

Refused to admit that the laptop was his. “He either doesn’t recall or denies it altogether.”

“Hems and haws about how embarrassing the content of the laptop was while, at the same time, failing to identify what content and if it was even his content.”

Said he was “without knowledge” that he had received voicemail messages and emails from Mac Isaac about his laptop asking him to bring in an external hard drive, pay his repair bill and pick up his property.

Claimed he did not give consent to Mac Isaac to access the data on his laptop even though he signed a work order.
Refused to deny that he signed the work order.

Claimed that the “boilerplate terms of the Repair Authorization” on the work order were “well below the signature line” even though he is a trained attorney and signed the document.

Referred to the Repair Authorization as a “typical small-print adhesion clause for which there was no proper notice or opportunity to bargain or negotiate.” But, according to the filing, the text is “not abnormally small” and is the same size as the rest of the work order.

Hunter abandoned his laptop at Mac Isaac’s store in April 2019 and never returned to pick it up or pay his bill, despite multiple attempts by Mac Isaac to contact him by phone and email.

“After obtaining the rights to the laptop pursuant to the contract signed by Biden, Mac Isaac grew uneasy with the seemingly illegal activities cataloged in the laptop.

“As he was taught to do at the Apple Store and in accordance with his own convictions, he made contact with the FBI. Soon thereafter, on December 9, 2019, Mac Isaac gave the laptop, the original hard drive, and the original work order to the FBI.”

The FBI verified the authenticity of Hunter’s abandoned laptop in November 2019 “by matching the device number against Hunter Biden’s Apple iCloud ID,” IRS supervisory agent Gary Shapley testified to Congress in June.

An FBI computer expert assessed that the laptop “was not manipulated in any way” and could be used as evidence, Shapley said.

The IRS investigation of Hunter also accessed financial records showing he was at a cigar shop near Mac Isaac’s store in Wilmington, Del., the day the laptop was dropped off.

The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) told dozens of federal agencies to adopt “Indigenous Knowledge” for “research, policies, and decision making,” in a November 2022 memo. In April, the United States Geological Survey (USGS) hosted a webinar titled “Incorporating Indigenous Knowledges into Federal Research and Management,” in which a speaker warned scientists about “disrespecting” indigenous knowledge, including “spirits.”

“When you ask for knowledge and you take it and use it in a way that you didn’t intend or you misuse it, you’re not only disrespecting that individual that you sought that knowledge from,” Traditional Ecological Knowledge Outreach Specialist Melonee Montano said in the April webinar attended by scientists. “You’re disrespecting the teachers that they obtained the knowledge from. You’re disrespecting those spirits that may have brought that knowledge to them through a dream.”

the November OSTP memo also suggests collaborating with “spiritual leaders.” The White House has published over three dozen documents that positively reference “Indigenous Knowledge,” according to the Free Beacon’s investigation. A December memo states the Biden administration acknowledges that “Indigenous Knowledge … contributes to the scientific, technical, social, and economic advancements of the United States.”

On the state level, Hawaii’s Department of Land and Natural Resources’ Deputy Director M. Kaleo Manuel advocated for “indigenous knowledge” and delayed a request for water diversion to fight the Maui wildfires due to possible impacts on a local farmer, according to a letter sent by a Hawaiian water management campaign.

Manuel prioritized incorporating “indigenous knowledge to the fields of water advocacy and management in Hawaii,” which allegedly could have contributed to the worsening of the Hawaii wildfires.

Montano is currently on a leave of absence


from A WH guidance paper
https://www.whitehouse.gov/ceq...or-federal-agencies/


Indigenous Knowledge is a body of observations, oral and written knowledge, innovations, practices, and beliefs developed by Tribes and Indigenous Peoples through interaction and experience with the environment. The Biden-Harris Administration has formally recognized Indigenous Knowledge as one of the many important bodies of knowledge that contributes to the scientific, technical, social, and economic advancements of the United States and our collective understanding of the natural world.

“As the original stewards of the natural environment, Tribes and Indigenous communities have expertise critical to finding solutions to the climate crisis and protecting our nation’s ecosystems,” said CEQ Chair Brenda Mallory. “The guidance released today will help ensure that their voices are included across the Federal Government for the collective benefit of our communities and the planet.”
