Biden gives fewest interviews of any president in 40 years, raising questions among friendly media

The Basement Campaign? During his first three years as president, President Biden has given 89 interviews, compared to former President Donald Trump’s 300, and former President Obama’s 422.

NBC ran a fishy story yesterday headlined, “Red Lobster closing at least 99 locations as its future comes into question.” ...

But the CEO of Thai Union Group, the seafood chain’s largest shareholder, implicitly blamed Bidenomics: “The combination of Covid-19 pandemic, sustained industry headwinds, higher interest rates and rising material and labor costs have impacted Red Lobster, resulting in prolonged negative financial contributions to Thai Union and its shareholders,” Thiraphong Chansiri, Thai Union Group’s CEO, said in a statement.

Given our struggling businesses and the shrinking pocketbooks of our consumers, is this a good time for a trade war? Despite Biden running against Trump’s China tariffs in 2016, they are good now, since a barely-cognitive care-home resident thinks so. Lost in the chatter yesterday about Biden’s economic flip-flopping was the fact these are more sanctions. Aljazeera ran the story yesterday under the headline, “Biden slaps new tariffs on Chinese imports, ratcheting trade war.” ...

Biden’s hypocrisy knows no bounds, and so forth. He’s doing exactly what he criticized Trump for during the last election cycle, and he’s doing exactly what the United States government has made into a national pastime for the well-connected. But that’s not the real story.

The real story is that the sanctions war against China just shifted into the highest gear. They skipped all the intermediate gears. No ramping up or anything. It’s economic nuclear war. The new ‘tariffs’ affect an estimated eighteen billion in annual imported Chinese goods like steel, aluminium, semiconductors, electric vehicles, critical minerals, solar cells and for some reason, cranes.

And it’s not just any little warning tariff, either. Biden has quadrupled import duties on Chinese electric vehicles — a jump of more than 100% — and doubled duties on semiconductor tariffs — up 50%.

Why do I call it economic war? Well, for one thing it was right there, in the Aljazeera article:

"China immediately promised retaliation. Its Ministry of Commerce said Beijing was opposed to the tariff hikes by the United States and would take measures to defend its interests."

For another thing, they told us this would happen, not even three weeks ago. Headline from Politico, April 26th:




But even though a child could connect these dots, useless corporate media is dutifully reporting the fake Biden narrative, that the tariffs are somehow intended to help the U.S.’s economy, instead of admitting the truth: this is part of the Ukraine war. Sanctions catastrophically failed against Russia — which is why they’re not calling the tariffs ‘sanctions’ this time — and Biden blames China.

The Biden administration and the National Park Service backed down from their threats to prevent the Knights of Columbus from hosting a Memorial Day Mass at a national cemetery.

All it took was some good old-fashioned lawsuit threats.

The Knights have hosted the annual Memorial Day Mass inside Poplar Grove National Cemetery in Petersburg, Virginia since the 1960's.

On May 21, First Liberty Institute and McGuireWoods LLP filed a motion for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction against National Park Service, so that the Knights can continue on with hosting their annual Memorial Day Mass at the Cemetery. NPS denied the Knights a permit, citing a new policy that designated 'religious services' as prohibited 'demonstrations.' That policy said religious services must be held somewhere outside the cemetery, even though other events may be held in the cemetery.

Yeah, apparently a Catholic Mass is an illegal "demonstration" under Biden's federal government.

Well, it's a "demonstration" until you realize you're not going to win in court. Then it's an approved behavior.

According to First Liberty, the National Park Service denied the Knights a permit to host the Mass because a policy change prohibits 'demonstrations,' including religious services, in the cemetery. It explained to the court that government cannot disfavor faith-based organizations and gatherings simply because they're religious. In fact, under the First Amendment and other federal law, religion and religious groups receive favored treatment and protection.

In the wake of the lawsuit, Biden officials have allowed the service to move forward.

Always assert your rights and push back. You'll be shocked how many of these administration services just don't want to deal with the legal fight.

Especially when you have precedent on your side.

The Knights of Columbus have held this exact ceremony in this exact place for around 60 years. And only under Biden has it suddenly become illegal.

It's a load of crap and we all know it.

'The Knights are thrilled that they will be able to exercise their religious beliefs and keep this honorable tradition alive. We appreciate the tremendous support of Governor Youngkin and Attorney General Miyares in this case,' said First Liberty Senior Counsel Roger Byron.

Good on the Knights for living up to their namesake and fighting for the faith in America.
