"No Longer Tenable" - Biden's Marxist 'Lenin Award'-Winning Banking Pick Pulls Out

Saule Omarova, the committed anti-capitalist and former "Lenin"-award-winning academic who has written about ending banking "as we know it", has withdrawn her nomination to be President Biden's comptroller of the currency after several influential Senate Democrats joined Republicans in opposing her nomination.

That Omarova was ever selected by President Biden and his administration shows just how much influence progressives have on his agenda. Just last year, Omarova authored a paper proposing a new banking system where private banks were abandoned in favor of Americans transacting directly with the Fed using a digital dollar. Just the idea of this spooked the industry which rallied its lobbyists to oppose her nomination.

During her first hearing before the Senate, John Kennedy, a Republican from Louisiana, tore her apart in this now-infamous exchange where he grills her about being a member of the "Young Communists", as he put it.

"I don't know whether to call you professor or comrade," he added.

NatSec Advisor Jake Sullivan Says Biden “Looked Putin the Eye” and Warned Him of ‘Strong’ Response if Russia Invades Ukraine

Joe Biden and Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday held a virtual meeting to discuss the mounting threat of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

According to reports, the Kremlin is planning a “multi-front offensive” against Ukraine with ground troops.

Russia became emboldened after Biden gave Vladimir Putin the Nord Stream 2 pipeline.

Joe Biden and his Democrat allies received money from a top Russia lobbyist in 2020 before waiving sanctions on the Nord Stream 2 pipeline.

The Nord Stream 2 pipeline would allow Russia to bypass Ukraine and Poland and deliver gas to Germany.

This expands Vladimir Putin’s political power and influence in the region and now the Kremlin is threatening to invade Ukraine.

National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan held a press briefing and answered questions about Biden’s threat to impose economic sanctions if Putin invades neighboring Ukraine.

Sullivan laughably claimed Biden “looked Putin in the eye” and put him on notice.

“What are the strong economic measures? And how are they different from the ones you put on Russia in 2014 which didn’t deter Russia from taking Crimea – what are they and why do you think they’ll work better this time?” a reporter asked Jake Sullivan.

“I will look you in the eye and tell you as President Biden looked President Putin in the eye and told him today, that things we did not do in 2014—we are prepared to do now,” Sullivan told reporters without offering specifics.

A Navy special warfare service member assigned to SEAL Team 8 died Tuesday at a civilian hospital in Virginia after being injured in a training accident over the weekend, the Navy confirmed.

"A servicemember assigned to SEAL Team 8 died on Dec. 7 at Norfolk Sentara General Hospital in Norfolk, Virginia, after sustaining injuries during training on Dec. 4 in Virginia Beach, Virginia," Lt. Cmdr. Kara Handley of Naval Special Warfare Command told Just the News.

"The details of the tragic accident are currently under investigation and findings will be made available at the appropriate time," Handley also said.

SEAL Team 8 is among the Naval Special Warfare units that took part in Operation Anaconda, and the Battle of Takur Ghar, during the war in Afghanistan.

China threatens Biden admin: ‘US will pay, wait and see’

China threatened the United States on Tuesday over the Biden administration’s diplomatic boycott of the 2022 Olympics in Beijing, warning that the US will “pay” for its action.

On Monday, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki announced the administration “will not send any diplomatic or official representation to the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics and Paralympic Games” due to China’s “ongoing genocide and crimes against humanity in Xinjiang, and other human rights abuses.”

The move prompted Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian to issue the threatening response during a press conference on Tuesday: “The US will pay a price for its erroneous actions. You may wait and see.”

Zhao accused the Biden administration of “fabricating the biggest lie of the century” about what he characterized as the “so-called ‘genocide’ in Xinjiang,” which he said has been “debunked.”

“Based on its ideological biases as well as lies and rumors, the US attempts to interfere with the Beijing Winter Olympics, which will only expose its malicious intention and make it lose more moral principles and credibility,” Zhao said. “Speaking of ‘genocide,’ the US fits this label better than anyone else for the evil crimes they committed against Native Americans.”

Zhao accused the Biden administration of “gravely” violating the political neutrality of the Olympics through “political posturing and manipulation.”

“The US should stop politicizing sports, and stop disrupting and undermining the Beijing Winter Olympics, lest it should affect bilateral dialogue and cooperation in important areas and international and regional issues,” Zhao concluded.

Despite China’s insistence that it is not committing egregious human rights violations against Uyghur minorities, more than 40 nations spoke out against the atrocities in a joint statement issued at the United Nations in October.

The statement cited “credible reports” of political re-education camps in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, where more than 1 million minorities have been held against their will.

We Need A More Forceful Pushback To A Hostile Media

In the book 'Bad News: How Woke Media Is Undermining Democracy,' Batya Ungar-Sargon urges news consumers to champion unpopular opinions—but is it enough?

For those who don’t have the Washington Post as your local newspaper, let me tell you what it’s like opening up the print edition each morning over breakfast. The front page inevitably has a story on race — today as I write this article, it’s on how word games like crossword puzzles and scrabble suffer from “systemic racism.”

The next section, “Metro,” tracks local (often race-related) news, like a recent article by leftist columnist Petula Dvorak on a couple Virginians putting racist things in their front yards. Next is “Style,” which covers entertainment and fashion… as it relates to race, such as a recent feature on black women and reality TV. Finally comes “Sports,” which, no surprise, has multiple stories on race, such as former Raiders coach Jon Gruden being labeled a racist, or how women’s rugby needs more black players.

Sometimes I play a game in which I try to see if the WaPo can go a day without having an article on race in every single section of the paper. Most days I lose. And if it’s not race, there will inevitably be some other hobbyhorse of identity politics — feminism, LGBTQ+, transgenderism — that takes the place of race. Sometimes the WaPo gets extra points by figuring out how to combine them all, say, with an exclusive report on black transgender feminists.

It didn’t used to be this way. When I was going through my deceased father’s files, I found an old Washington Post from the 1980s that included an entire section on the upcoming hunting season. If the WaPo bothers to report on hunting now, its writers are so clueless on the subject they call bowhunting “archery.” Today they’d probably either label hunting systemically racist, or do a feature on a black transgender feminist bowhunter (surely there’s at least one).

How did the media’s nonstop obsession with identity politics happen? Batya Ungar-Sargon, the deputy opinion editor of Newsweek, has some ideas. In her new book Bad News: How Woke Media Is Undermining Democracy, Ungar-Sargon argues that in the last several decades, as their profession became populated by those from elite academic institutions, American journalism underwent a radical shift away from concern with the working class towards those of the affluent and well-educated.
