She was “imprecise” in her language, and Gov DeSantis is “not opposed to teaching the FACT [emphasis hers] of slavery in schools,” but the “governor opposes” books that “historians and teachers say…” argle-bargle-BS-bargle. She’s trying to do an end run while doubling down, and DeSantis Deputy Press Secretary Jeremy Redfern truth nails her, brutally.
After that miserable exercise in arrogance, subterfuge, and evasion, if I bet on more than the occasional Mega-Millions, I’d say patience has probably run out in the DeSantis camp. Lemme go check.
HUEY-BURNS: And I just have to ask, because it did take you a couple of days to respond publicly or several days to respond publicly to this particular incident. Do you wish you would have spoken out sooner?
BUTTIGIEG: Yes, I was focused on just making sure that our folks on the ground were all set, but could have spoken sooner about how strongly I felt about this incident. And that’s a lesson learned for me.
I asked Secretary Buttigieg about the crisis in East Palestine and I guess he didn’t like that so he took a pic of me. Im just doing my job, sir. @DailyCallerpic.twitter.com/HjKNgF25FJ
In reaction to the bizarre behavior from the Secretary of Transportation, DCNF managing editor Mike Bastasch told me, “We are damn proud of Jennie Taer for asking a powerful government official tough questions. As for Secretary Buttigieg’s photo request, only he can tell us the real reason behind it, but if it was meant to intimidate us, it’s not going to work.”
What was Buttigieg thinking with this question?
Of all the insanely weird things to say to a reporter, asking to photograph them late at night on a street is right near the top of the list.
Is this how Biden administration officials treat the press? They get a question they don’t like and the strategy is to stonewall, deflect and then make the interaction as uncomfortable as possible? Am I understanding this correctly?
QUESTION ASKED: What the Hell Is Going on With That Trump Grand Jury Foreman? “The Trump grand jury in Georgia has yet to reveal any indictments, but the jury’s foreman — forewoman, foreperson, forexian, whatever — is already doing the cable news circuit… and in the weirdest way.”
“COME WHERE YOU’RE APPRECIATED:” Politics and Open Doors after Cancellation. “On the podcast, Jamie talked about how astonished he was to be welcomed so enthusiastically and warmly by Christian conservatives. ‘I’m this Jewish lefty and they know who I am, and they know I swear in my comedy and they’re still being so nice to me.'”
Mexico and their Killer Bees? Feh. Giant Rats of Sumatra? Puh-leeze. Man-eating Pythons of Brazil? Getouttahere.
We’re Americans. We are facing invasive “Super Pigs” from Canada.
Fun Fact: According to the University of Saskatchewan: “They can take down a whitetail deer, even an adult.”
Interestingly enough, boar hunting in Germany is a fairly erudite sport, where the gentry have organized hunts where wild boars are chased by village boys through the woods into a narrow clearing that can be a thousand yards downrange. Rather fancy shooting if you are using a bolt-action 308, but honestly, I think Ma Deuce would be more…entertaining.
BIDEN MOUNTS HUGE POWER-GRAB FOR WHO: President Joe Biden is about to sign on to a deal that would cede U.S. sovereignty to the World Health Organization (WHO) to determine this country’s response to future pandemics, according to The Epoch Times’ Kevin Stocklin. As I reported last year, Biden has been working with officials at WHO for some time seeking such powers since the COVID-19 Pandemic.
