Important Takeaways:
- Kamala steps in for Joe Biden for 22nd anniversary of 9/11 at Ground Zero – while President will mark the day 4,300 miles away in Alaska
- Joe Biden’s unprecedented decision not to mark the anniversary of 9/11 at one of the three crash sites left Vice President Kamala Harris filling in at the Ground Zero ceremony in New York on Monday.
- Biden infuriated families of the 2,977 killed by the hijackers by becoming the first president not to visit Manhattan, the Pentagon, or Shanksville, Pennsylvania to remember the deadliest terror attack on U.S. soil.
- Instead he will spend just two hours at Joint Elmendorf-Richardson in Alaska with service members and first responders on his way home from a 24-hour trip to Vietnam dominated by a shambolic and rambling press conference.

Important Takeaways:
- A late-summer surge in new COVID cases has meant the return of face masks in some parts of the country, reigniting a political battle that quickly became the centerpiece of a broader fight over the response to the pandemic during the last two elections.
- President Joe Biden is at the center of the storm. Again.
- Biden, who wore a face mask throughout the 2020 presidential campaign and was constantly mocked by Donald Trump for doing so, donned a black face mask at a White House Medal of Honor ceremony for a Vietnam War Army helicopter pilot on Tuesday. The day before the event, first lady Jill Biden tested positive for COVID.
- “Don’t tell them I didn’t have it on when I walked in,” he joked.
- COVID mandates aren’t in the top five election issues right now but… it could come back up into the top three as something that motivates people to vote if he does this during an election year
- No matter what Biden does, the COVID-19 pandemic and the steps taken by the states and federal government are “more than likely going to be part of next year’s presidential campaign,”

Important Takeaways:
- What Will America Be Like Under Biden’s Digital Dollar? Look At Communist China
- Biden’s executive order gave the game away by stating that a U.S. digital dollar must ensure ‘financial inclusion and equity’ and monitor or mitigate ‘climate change and pollution.’
- President Joe Biden issued a sweeping executive order last year on Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC), which “places the highest urgency on research and development efforts into the potential design and deployment options of a United States CBDC.”
- But experiences in China, a nation that launched a digital currency in 2020, have shown that a CBDC considerably expands government power at the expense of individual freedom.
- According to The Wall Street Journal, the Chinese digital yuan is programable, and “Beijing has tested expiration dates to encourage users to spend it quickly, for times when the economy needs a jump start.”
- Even before the digital yuan’s issuance, those Chinese citizens who received lower social credit scores due to “bad behaviors” struggled to live an everyday life. Many couldn’t travel because they were unable to buy plane or train tickets, some were denied school or employment opportunities, and some pet owners even had their pets confiscated.
- The digital yuan has enabled the Chinese government to reprimand human rights activists, religious practitioners, and government critics in new and terrifying ways: by instantly deducting fines from their bank accounts, confiscating their wealth, or banishing them from China’s digital payment system completely. Knowing they won’t be able to survive for a day in a cashless society is frightening enough to silence most dissenting voices.
- Anyone who assumes the U.S. and other democracies will not abuse CBDCs like China has done is delusional. The Covid-19 pandemic revealed how quickly democratically elected governments in the West expanded their powers and intruded on citizens’ economic and political freedom in the name of public health.

- ‘When one of the worst disasters in U.S. history happens, he hasn’t been out here and it’s been two weeks as of Tuesday – what kind of president does that?’
- ‘You give all this money and time and efforts to Ukraine but you won’t even do it for Americans? Come on.’

Important Takeaways:
- In President Biden’s response to the devastating wildfires in Maui, we can see the reemergence of a familiar habit: to ignore, dance around and/or gaslight the public about a difficult situation — whether it’s self-inflicted or not — and respond to it only when the critiques become so deafening, they drown out all else. And the coup de grâce: to sing his own praises afterwards.
- In June 2021, Biden dismissed consumers’ concerns about the early warning signs of inflation. A few months later, Biden said it was the “difficult challenges and complications caused by COVID-19” that were “driving up costs for American families.” Those challenges and complications were in no small part driven by an ill-advised $1.9 trillion spending jubilee Biden championed and signed at the outset of his presidency.
- Biden’s roadmap for this kind of obfuscation was modeled by his handling of the Afghanistan withdrawal. He called the evacuation an “extraordinary success.”
- Last week, Biden promised the federal government would give Maui “everything it needs.” But then Sunday — whilst enjoying one of his many days at the beach — Biden was apparently too busy to comment on the devastation.
- Don’t be surprised when — not if — he eschews taking responsibility for his callousness in favor of unearned self-congratulations.

Important Takeaways:
- The Biden administration believes that a seismic but fragile realignment is underway in East Asia: a deeper relationship between two close U.S. allies with a long history of mutual acrimony and distrust.
- The change would accelerate Washington’s effort to counter China’s influence in the region and help it defend Taiwan.
- While the summit is unlikely to produce a formal security arrangement that commits the nations to each other’s’ defense, they will agree to a mutual understanding about regional responsibilities.

Important Takeaways:
- Democrats Denied Election Results 150+ Times Before Trump Was Indicted for Challenging Election
- Breitbart News reported, more than 150 examples show Democrats denying election results, including President Joe Biden; two-time failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton; House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY); Reps. Barbara Lee (D-CA), Maxine Waters (D-CA), and Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX); and failed Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams.
- In fact, every single Democrat president since 1977 has questioned the legitimacy of U.S. elections, according to the Republican National Committee. In both 2013 and 2016, Biden claimed that Al Gore won the 2000 presidential election. In May 2019, Biden said he “absolutely agrees” that Trump was an “illegitimate president.” Biden cast doubt on the legitimacy of the 2022 midterms this year.
- Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said it is “appropriate” to have a debate concerning the 2004 election and claimed that there were “legitimate concerns” regarding the “integrity” of U.S. elections. Then-Rep. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) cast doubt on the security of electronic voting machines in the 2004 election, saying he was “worried” that some machines do not have a paper trail.
- [So why aren’t they on trial for questioning the results of an election?]

- Greg Steube Files Articles Of Impeachment Against Joe Biden For Bribery, Extortion, Obstruction Of Justice, Fraud, Financial Involvement In Drugs And Prostitution/Trafficking: “We Have All The Facts And Evidence Now”
- Greg Steube, R-Fla., jumped ahead of his Republican colleagues on Friday and introduced articles of impeachment against President Biden.
- While several congressional committees are building a multipronged case to remove Biden from office, Steube said it was past time to take action. He filed articles of impeachment against Biden charging that the president had been complicit in his son Hunter’s alleged crimes and had worked to shield him from justice.
- “It’s long past time to impeach Joe Biden,” Steube said in a statement. “He has undermined the integrity of his office, brought disrepute on the Presidency, betrayed his trust as President, and acted in a manner subversive of the rule of law and justice at the expense of America’s citizens.”
- Steube filed four articles alleging high crimes and misdemeanors by Biden. The first accuses the president of abusing the power of his office by allegedly accepting bribes, committing Hobbs Act extortion and honest services fraud related to use of his official position…
- The second article charges that President Biden obstructed justice, citing IRS whistleblower testimony that “members of the Biden campaign improperly colluded with Justice Department (DOJ) officials to improperly interfere with investigations into tax crimes alleged to have been committed by Hunter Biden.”
- The third and fourth articles accuse Biden of “fraud” and paying for Hunter Biden’s illegal drugs and trysts with prostitutes, respectively. “The evidence continues to mount by the day – the Biden Crime Family has personally profited off Joe’s government positions through bribery, threats, and fraud. Joe Biden must not be allowed to continue to sit in the White House, selling out our country,” Steube said

Important Takeaways:
- US grid operators warn Biden’s power plant crackdown could trigger ‘significant power shortages’
- The nation’s largest power grid operators, which collectively provide power to 154 million Americans, joined a chorus of voices expressing concern about the Biden administration’s crackdown on gas-fired plants.
- In joint comments filed Tuesday with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), four major grid operators — PJM Interconnection, Midcontinent Independent System Operator, Electric Reliability Council of Texas and Southwest Power Pool — stated that under the proposal announced earlier this year, grid reliability will “dwindle to concerning levels.” The four nonpartisan entities operate across 2 million square miles in all or parts of 30 states.
- “As the penetration of renewable resources continues to increase, the grid will need to rely even more on generation capable of providing critical reliability attributes,” they wrote in their comment letter. “With continued and potentially accelerated retirements of dispatch able generation, supply of these reliability attributes will dwindle to concerning levels.”
- The grid operators further warned that if carbon capture technology isn’t developed as quickly as EPA anticipates it will be, the U.S. would be left without sufficient power supply. Carbon capture technology is being used at just one large-scale facility in the world, the Boundary Dam Power Station in Canada.
- “This proposal also strips states of important discretion while using technologies that don’t work in the real world — so it sets up the plants for failing to meet the standards dictated in the rule, leaving the plants with no other option but to cease operations,” West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey said in a statement.
- “This is designed to scare more coal-fired power plants into retirement — the goal of the Biden administration’s so-called green new deal,” he said. “That tactic is unacceptable, and this rule appears to utterly fly in the face of the rule of law.”
