Biden Names Multi-Billionaire Heiress and Obama Mega-Donor Penny Pritzker to Oversee Ukraine’s Economic Recovery

On Thursday, Joe Biden named former U.S. Commerce Secretary Penny Pritzker as U.S. special representative for Ukraine’s economic recovery.

The new position, which falls under the State Department, was established as the Biden administration comes under increased scrutiny for the billions being sent Ukraine.

According to the Council on Foreign Relations, the United States has provided Ukraine with more than $75 billion in assistance since the war began, which includes humanitarian, financial, and military support.

As millions of Americans struggle to make ends meet amid rising inflation and an crumbling economy due to disastrous policies, in early September the Biden regime pledged another jaw-dropping sum of over $1 billion in new aid to Ukraine.

Joe Biden said in a statement announcing the appointment, “As an accomplished public servant, former Secretary of Commerce, and transformative industry leader — with deep familial ties to Ukraine — Special Representative Pritzker brings decades of experience and expertise to this critical position. Working in lockstep with the Ukrainian government, our allies and partners, international financial institutions, and the private sector, she will drive the United States’ efforts to help rebuild the Ukrainian economy.”

“This includes mobilizing public and private investment, shaping donor priorities and working to open export markets and businesses shut down by Russia’s brutal attacks and destruction.”

Pritzker released a statement Thursday, “Simply put, the stakes could not be higher. My role — working with governments and the private sector around the world — is about ensuring Ukraine succeeds, now and long into the future, as a prosperous, secure, independent, sovereign democracy. Our collective mission is simple: to see to it that Ukraine survives and thrives.”

“But this is also personal for me. My family fled Ukraine in the late 1800s, and my attachment to the country remains. During my tenure as Commerce Secretary, I worked with the Ukrainian government to advance progress on reforms, draw private sector interest, and coordinate with partner governments — activities I will also pursue in this role. And, like many Americans, I have been inspired by the bravery and resilience of the Ukrainian people.”

This was probably to shut up her brother about running in 2024… https://t.co/JoXjhmeI36

Los Angeles Spends $44,000 Per 'Temporary' Tent For Homeless Village

Los Angeles is reportedly spending $44,000 for each individual tent in a temporary tent village for homeless people in East Hollywood, The Messenger reports.

All told, it cost about $4 million to put up fencing, bathrooms, and staffing facilities for the village. Catering services and 24-7 staffing cost an additional $3 million per year, the Los Angeles Times reported.

Despite the high costs, the site is only temporary. It's located on a parking lot that will eventually be turned into public housing. But because it will take years for construction to commence on that project, the city decided to fill the space with tents in the meantime.

San Francisco-based nonprofit Urban Alchemy maintains the encampment. Launched in 2018 with a small grant, the group hires mostly former prisoners because they have the "ability to read people in unpredictable situations."

According to several lawsuits, however, some of those employees have engaged in abusive behavior.

After expanding to Portland and Austin, the group brought in $51 million in 2021.

Pelosi on Trump Blaming Her for January 6: ‘There Is a Sickness There’

During an appearance on MSNBC’s “The Sunday Show,” House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said former President Donald Trump is sick and knows he is responsible for the January 6, 2021 riot at the Capitol after he blamed her.

Anchor Jonathan Capehart asked, “The former president at the United States, Donald Trump, on Meet the Press, says this, and I’m quoting you directly, him directly, ‘Nancy Pelosi is responsible for January 6.’ He is blaming you for the attack on the Capitol that he instigated. Your response?”

Pelosi said, “The former occupant of the White House has always been about projection. He knows that he’s responsible for that, so he projects it on to others. His instigation of it insurrection, and assault in our Constitution, the day we were supposed to approve, and we did, the work of the Electoral College results, the assault on the Capitol building, the assault on the Constitution, the assault on our democracy. Shame on him.”

She continued, “He always projects. Now he used to say, well, she turned down my troops no, we, Chuck Schumer and I begged him to send the troops again and again.”

Pelosi added, “There is the sickness here that has to be an intervention. That intervention has to be the election, which we have to win. That’s one of the reasons why I am running again, to fight for our democracy. Which is at stake, if he’s on the ballot.”

Plumber Finds Fetus Inside Pipe After Residents Complain of Drainage Issues At Houston Apartment Complex

A plumber made a grim discovery when he saw a fetus in a pipe at a Texas apartment complex.

The Harris County Sheriff’s Office was alerted to the situation on Monday, according to a local report by KPRC.

Residents living at the Glen Cove Apartments had made complaints about drainage issues since Friday. While a plumber was addressing the building’s plumbing problems, he made the disturbing find when he opened a pipe and uncovered the fetal remains.

Authorities say the fetus was in its early developmental stages.

According to KHOU, a woman residing in the building was observed being transported away in an ambulance. While an investigation is underway, detectives suspect that the fetus may be connected to a miscarriage. As of the latest update, no charges have been filed.

Authorities are aware of the parents’ identity but have chosen not to release it at this time.

Former AG Ed Meese Submits Court Declaration Calling Prosecution of Trump DOJ Official Jeff Clark ‘A Major Affront to Federal Supremacy Never Seen Before’

Former Attorney General who served under Ronald Reagan, Edwin Meese, submitted a court declaration calling the prosecution of Trump DOJ official Jeffrey Clark ‘a major affront to federal supremacy never before seen in the history of our country.’

Jeffrey Clark served as the Department of Justice Assistant Attorney General under Trump and was under consideration to be Trump’s Attorney General.

Ed Meese is 91 years old so he won’t be able to show up in court on Monday where Jeffrey Clark will argue his case.

“So, he won’t be open to being cross-examined and, as a result, it’s unclear whether judge will consider Meese’s statement. Not clear if Clark himself will testify. Fulton County DA has subpoenaed another Trump Asst. AG, Jody Hunt, for the hearing.” Politico’s Josh Gerstein noted.

Last month Fani Willis hit President Trump and 18 others with RICO and conspiracy charges for daring to challenge the 2020 election.

Fani Willis criminalized the First Amendment and brave state lawmakers did their best to fight back and oust her from office.

Former Trump DOJ official Jeffrey Clark was indicted by a Fulton County grand jury on two counts: 1 (RICO) and 22 (Criminal Attempt to Commit False Statements and Writings).

Recall, that Jeffrey Clark was also raided by the FBI in 2022.

After the FBI raided Jeffrey Clark’s home, left-wing media attacked him for being a ‘promoter of The Gateway Pundit.’

In August 2022, Jeffrey Clark appeared on Tucker Carlson Tonight on Fox to talk about the FBI raid on his Northern Virginia home. Clark said the agents made him go outside in his pajamas while they searched his house. Clark said twelve FBI agents, two Fairfax County police officers and an ‘electronic sniffer dog’ searched his house for over three hours. All his electronic devices were seized.

NBC News mocked for report revealing doctors finding it 'increasingly difficult to distinguish COVID from allergies or the common cold'

NBC News ran an article revealing that doctors are having issues distinguishing COVID from the common cold and allergies. Online commentators mocked the liberal news outlet, many asserting that the revelation materialized three years too late.

On Saturday, NBC News published an article that found that COVID symptoms are increasingly indistinguishable from the common cold and allergies.

"Doctors say they're finding it increasingly difficult to distinguish COVID from allergies or the common cold, even as hospitalizations tick up," the article began.

"The illness' past hallmarks, such as a dry cough or the loss of sense of taste or smell, have become less common," NBC News admitted. "Instead, doctors are observing milder disease, mostly concentrated in the upper respiratory tract."

Dr. Grace McComsey – vice dean for clinical and translational research at Case Western University – estimated that roughly 10-20% of her COVID patients lose their sense of taste or smell now, versus 60-70% early in the pandemic.

"It isn’t the same typical symptoms that we were seeing before. It’s a lot of congestion, sometimes sneezing, usually a mild sore throat," explained Dr. Erick Eiting – vice chair of operations for emergency medicine at Mount Sinai Downtown in New York City.

Eiting confessed, "Just about everyone who I've seen has had really mild symptoms. The only way that we knew that it was Covid was because we happened to be testing them."

Doctors say those infected with COVID typically have symptoms such as congestion, headaches, fatigue, muscle aches, fever, chills, and post-nasal drip.

Dr. Dan Barouch – director of the Center for Virology and Vaccine Research at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston – told NBC News, "Overall, the severity of COVID is much lower than it was a year ago and two years ago. That’s not because the variants are less robust. It’s because the immune responses are higher."

Reactions on the X social media platform slammed NBC News for the belated realization.

DeSantis press secretary Jeremy Redfern: "NBC is so close to getting it."

Health policy commentator Pradheep J. Shanker: "It's almost like… COVID doesn't matter that much."

Writer Ian Miller: "COVID is such a serious threat that it requires new boosters without rigorous clinical testing, but it’s also indistinguishable from the common cold Just The Science at work."

DeSantis researcher Kyle Lamb: "Again, while pretend 'experts' post about cases, actual physicians are not finding severe disease anywhere, or at least it's extremely rare. There is no longer an emergency. There is no need for boosters, nor has there been proven a benefit even if there were."

Conservative consultant Steve Guest: "'Doctors say they're finding it increasingly difficult to distinguish Covid from allergies.' It took NBC 3 years to report this."

Writer Rupa Subramanya: "Deadly COVID is indistinguishable from the common cold or allergies. The Science seems to be finally catching up with the 'conspiracy theorists' who had it right all along that COVID was basically the common cold."

Actor Matthew Marsden: "Same doctors failed to distinguish real science from bulls**t for the past four years."

Writer Meghan Maureen: "This is terrifying. How will I know if my sneezing is from the deadliest virus ever known or from ragweed?"
