[American Wire] Somehow, the image of President Joe Biden bicycling on the beach while war rages in Eastern Europe is not a good optic, though it’s fair to say the 79-year-old president has a busy week ahead of him.
RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel noted in a tweet that Biden "is currently on his 36th trip to Delaware on a beach vacation," and he was photographed riding a bicycle in Gordon’s Pond State Park in Rehoboth Beach, Del., on Sunday.
Of course, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is not the only pressing issue at the moment, as the GOP noted in a tweet sharing that there’s also record gas prices, historic inflation and the wide open southern border with Mexico, where migrant crossings are trending higher that last year, which saw nearly 2 million illegal immigrants cross.
And then there’s the addition "weakness on the world stage"...
The phrase "on the beach" is a Royal Navy term that means "retired from the Service."[5] The title also refers to T. S. Eliot's poem The Hollow Men, which includes the lines:
In this last of meeting places
We grope together
And avoid speech
Gathered on this beach of the tumid river.
[PJMEDIA] There are times when reading about how we are adapting to a many-gendered world that I have to check to make sure I’m still on good old Planet Earth and have not been transported to Cloud Cuckoo Land to live with people who deny the reality of existence.
The Cloud Cuckoo Landers who 30 years ago may have been living under lock and key in some insane asylum are now taking their place in positions of authority and are dictating how the rest of us should view reality.
It would be amusing if there weren’t real-life victims of this nonsense.
A British woman reported to police that she had been raped during a stay in a hospital. But the police were told that simply wasn’t possible because the ward where the woman claims she was raped was for "females only." And since there "was no male in the hospital, therefore the rape could not have happened."
Eh? Even XX females — or X0 females, for that matter — can commit rape. It requires equipment not provided by nature, but objects to meet the need are easy enough to find. I’m sure even in benighted England the law defines rape as unwelcome penetration, not unwelcome p3nile penetration.
Update: According to Wikipedia, England is actually that benighted. Only p3nile penetration is rape; otherwise it is the lesser crime of assault by penetration. In America we are more logical.
Emma Nicholson, the Baroness Nicholson of Winterbourne, stood before the members of the House of Lords and pointed out that the rape was caught on CCTV, but it took nearly a year for the hospital to admit there was a transgendered person in the ward who raped the victim.
Nicholson claimed that the alleged incident was the direct result of a National Health Service policy known as Annex B, which orders hospitals to place patients in single-sex wards according to their preferred gender identity.
"The result of Annex B is that hospital trusts inform ward sisters and nurses that if there is a male as a trans person in a female ward, and a female patient or anyone complains, they must be told that it is not true, there is no male there," Nicholson said.
She added that the policy "gives priority to trans people over women" and, as a result, erodes the "dignity, privacy and safety" of women and girls. (emphasis added)
According to the baroness, the victim came close to a nervous breakdown after spending nearly a year being told that the rape that she experienced never happened. And the hospital would have actually kept denying the victim’s claims if the CCTV cameras hadn’t shown the truth.

The law does prosecute women for seducing boys and sexually abusing minors. Why can't a case be made for a 'girl with penis' (ugh) raping a woman. After all it is all about the penis?
The law just wants to keep creating categories of people it does not have to bother with enforcing itself upon.
[justTheNews] Action allows Secretary of State investigators to compel testimony, delivery of evidence.
The Georgia Elections Board has approved a subpoena to secure evidence and testimony in an ongoing investigation into whether third-party liberal activists illegally gathered thousands of absentee ballots in the 2020 general election and a subsequent runoff that determined Democrat control of the U.S. Senate.
The vote was a major win for Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, who announced the investigation into alleged ballot harvesting in January and was seeking the subpoena authority to assist the probe.
The subpoena power will allow Raffensperger's team to secure evidence about a whistleblower who alleged to an election integrity group that he participated in a large operation to gather ballots in which activists were paid $10 for each ballot they delivered.
Georgia law expressly prohibits third parties from collecting, gathering or delivering absentee ballots, except in the case of immediate relatives.
A vote on the subpoena was delayed by weeks as the Elections Board could not decide on a new chairman. But at a meeting last week, the board unanimously chose member Matthew Mashburn to be acting chairman.
The board then voted out the subpoena in a closed session, according to audio of the meeting reviewed by Just the News.
"All the board members are here," Mashburn said after emerging from the closed-door session. "A quorum is in order. We went into executive session for purposes of discussing pending and potential litigation and for the board to authorize subpoenas in case no. 2020-10-Dougherty County and 2022-003 ballot harvesting."
Officials said the new subpoena powers will be used by Raffensperger's office to secure evidence from the election integrity group True the Vote, which filed a complaint in November saying it had acquired videotapes, a whistleblower's admission and cell phone location records showing what appeared to be a widespread ballot harvesting operation in the November 2020 general election and January 2021 election runoff.
The group's complaint said surveillance camera footage showed ballot traffickers delivering stacks of ballots to drop boxes between midnight and 5 a.m. and cell phone records showed as many as 240 activists made such deliveries.
The group said a cooperating whistleblower to whom it granted John Doe anonymity admitted he was paid $10 for each ballot he collected and delivered and that scores of others were involved in the operation.
"John Doe described a network of non-governmental organizations that worked together to facilitate a ballot trafficking scheme in Georgia," True the Vote wrote in its complaint. "John Doe claimed to have been one of many individuals paid to collect and deliver absentee ballots during the early voting periods of the November 2020 General Election and the January 2021 Runoff Election."
Raffensperger, who in 2019 led an effort to update state law to explicitly outlaw harvesting, told Just the News earlier this month that his investigators want to secure the identity and cooperation of the whistleblower and to follow the money to who funded the operation.
"We need to get a subpoena for the fella who this John Doe is," Raffensperger explained. "Was he paid? How much was he paid? And then who paid him. And we're going to follow the money, and we're going get to the bottom of it. And we're going to prosecute this, if we find that there's substance to it."
State law currently allows only the ballot traffickers to be prosecuted, and does not invalidate the ballots of voters who are lawfully registered to vote but give their ballot to a third-party.
Some state officials told Just the News they have been privately discussing asking the Georgia legislature to create penalties for voters who surrender their ballots to a third party.
The Georgia investigation comes as other states have begun turning up evidence of ballot harvesting during the 2020 election.
Arizona has prosecuted several activists for illegally collecting third-party ballots, while the former state Supreme Court justice named to oversee an election integrity probe in Wisconsin recently offered evidence that third parties may have cast ballots on behalf of physically or mentally incapacitated nursing home residents.
[NYPOST] Dr. Anthony Fauci on Sunday appeared to back-track on retiring any time soon, saying he wants to wait for the US to be "really out" of the COVID-19 pandemic before he moves on.
The 81-year-old had started buzz about his potential retirement Saturday when he told ABC’s "Start Here" podcast, "I have said that I would stay in what I’m doing until we get out of the pandemic phase, and I think we might be there already."
But in an interview on ABC’s "This Week" on Sunday, the White House chief medical adviser was asked about whether the country was nearing the end of the pandemic and if he planned to get "some rest" at that point.
"I’m not so sure, George," the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases told anchor George Stephonaupolous. "I want to make sure we’re really out of this before I really seriously consider doing anything different. We’re still in this.

He has been director of the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Deceases since 1984. That is almost 40 years in same job. He was offered the job of head of NIH several times but turned it down.
The man just loves his work.

"We've selected these crackerjack hacks
From McMansions and shacks by the tracks--"
"Shit, if that's all we got,
We deserves to get shot!"
"... to 'encourage' the rest of you Blacks!"

In my lifetime I have never seen a deeper trivialization of our governmental power. Every single legislator that participated in this moronic, racist insult to the people who pay their salaries needs to be bitch-slapped and laughed out town. This isn't about fairness, it is institutionalized race entitlement, at its barely concealed philosophic core ,this is about creating a privileged, exempt racial class.

If it won’t pass in the Senate, it’s just posturing for the rubes. It’s for preventing this kind of nonsense becoming the law of the land that the Senate exists.
#6
I get that TW, but its shameless posturing the PASSED the House of Representatives. That descent into garbage legislation will be passed to a near rubber-stamp Senate. It is how far standards have devolved that honestly disturbs me. A mere three or four minds like Murkowski, or Collins or Romneyin the Senate are all that might stand between this and Biden's pen.
[FoxNews] Des Moines suburb residents slam government's secretive deal with Apple
Residents of a Des Moines suburb criticized a government agreement with Apple that gave the tech giant $200 million in public subsidies for a project that's years behind schedule.
"It’s not fair. They don’t give me anything," a Waukee man told Fox News. "I go there as a citizen, as a single person, they’re not going to listen to me."
Apple reached an agreement with state and local officials in 2017 that gave the tech giant $213 million in public subsidies in exchange for 50 permanent jobs at a data center it would build in Waukee. Residents have criticized the agreement for lacking transparency and for its perceived unfairness.
Apple, which reached a market value of $3 trillion in January, planned to open the data center in 2020, according to the company's initial announcement. Apple now plans to complete the project in 2027, according to the Des Moines Register.
