Another day, another book tour takes over the networks. This time it was First Lady Dr. Jill Biden on Wednesday's Good Morning America (GMA), with her latest children’s book Willow the White House Cat. It could have been quite the interview but was nothing more than a cushy campaign booster on Disney owned ABC with Biden taking time to declare the ‘end of Democracy’ if her husband is not elected.  It is ironic enough that a feminist such as the First Lady could possibly appreciate a focus on her husband during an interview about her work!  At one point, the conversation moved from her book to more political subjects, like the upcoming election: GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: It is of course an election year. How do you describe the people watching at home what's at stake? DR. JILL BIDEN: Everything is at stake. I think especially for women this year. You know, women's rights, our freedoms, democracy is on the line. And we have a choice. I mean, this is what I am out there saying, we have a choice. We can have – you know, my husband who is calm and steady and strong and has character and integrity, or we have the other choice, which is chaotic and, I mean, if you just look at what you just reported on -- the craziness of it all. So, we have to decide: democracy or chaos? If it is not yet clear, Dr. Biden seems to be able to campaign better in writing a children's book and going on GMA to get free publicity, than any one of her husbands gaff-filled ‘speeches’. In other words, she resorted to such ridiculous doomsday claims as can be seen in nearly every other Biden campaign speech.      ABC’s treatment of the First Lady, however, is something completely limited to Democratic party members, such as the treatment of Melania Trump throughout her time in the White House. Melania is notably reserved in the area of politics compared to Dr. Biden, yet ABC had no problem pressing the women with inappropriate and pointed questions. Attacking her marriage, and familial relationships, this 2018 interview highlights the blatant double standard used in the media.  Rewinding to the beginning and it was a gushy back-and-forth about the book centering around a house cat at the White House and how much of the staff that keep the building running smoothly remain, regardless of party. But the ABC crew really laid it on thick when they asked her about teaching and even thanked her for all she’s done for “women’s health” (click “expand”): ROBERTS: I know we often talk about how we all have a favorite teacher — SPENCER: Yeah. BIDEN: Uh-huh ROBERTS: — and how they impacted our life. This Saturday we know where you are going to be, Erie County Community College. BIDEN: College, yes! ROBERTS: You’re the special commencement speaker, what’s your favorite part about speaking to the next generation of leaders and thinkers? BIDEN: Well, I know that all of the opportunities that they’re going to have. And you know six out of 10 children don't go straight to a four-year college, but now they have so many other pathways. And they can — we have career connected learning where they can start in High School, earn College Credits and go into, like, cybersecurity or environmental studies or robotics, so many interesting careers now. Careers of the future and that's what I think is exciting that people – students just don't, have to think “oh I just — I need to go to a four year college.” That’s not true anymore. SPENCER: That is not true and also so passionate about women's health and we thank you for that. BIDEN: Oh my gosh. SPENCER: I know in November you and the President launched the White House Initiative for Women's Health Research. Talk to me about the progress that you seen made. BIDEN: I’m so excited about that because there -- you know, women's health has been underfunded and understudied for so long, so I'm sure that many of you have friends, somebody in your family. And women go to the doctors and they come away, they don't have answers to their questions. ROBERTS: They don't. BIDEN: And so especially for women who are maybe middle age or over, you know, what is menopause? What are hot flashes? Why do I feel this way? You know, why is my hair thinning? Why am I moody? We need answers to these questions. SPENCER: Yes, we do. ROBERTS: Yes we do. [Laughter] BIDEN: Not getting personal or anything. But now it will change because we are funding the research and I am so excited about it because things will change. With the books as a hook, it was no surprise the liberal media are gearing up to stream what looks more like a Biden campaign than a real interview. The narrative of a presidential family member writing children’s literature is nothing new as in past years Chelsea Clinton has pervaded media stories with their books and free campaigning. It was almost four years ago that Biden was on air speaking about her book, and vouching for her husband's place as president.  The transcript is below.

MICHAEL STRAHAN: We are joined now by First Lady Dr. Jill Biden, here live this morning to talk about her new children’s book, Willow the White House Cat. Dr. Biden, welcome to GMA.  DR. JILL BIDEN:Thank you. STRAHAN: Well, we can -- we can give it up. Hey! [Applause] BIDEN: Thank you. Thank you. STRAHAN: This is a great story.  A new story, inspired by real-life events, so tell us about it. BIDEN: That’s right, so it’s the story of Willow the White House cat how she came from Western Pennsylvania from being in a barn to the White House. And really, it's kind of a behind-the-scenes, cat's eye view of what it is like to live in the White House. [Laughter] GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: We were talking about the illustrations, so beautiful! Tell us about working with Kate Berube. BIDEN: Well, she came to the White House. Of course, she met Willow and she met all the people who worked there who are so warm and welcoming and make the White House a home. And so, she had her tour and she met everybody, so I think she felt right at home like we do and like Willow does. ROBIN ROBERTS: Of course, it’s a children's book but really there is really a lesson in there for all of us isn't there? BIDEN: Yeah. Yeah and it's that learning can be fun. Reading can be fun. ROBERTS: Yep. Biden: So that I hope that you know children enjoy the book. I hope that teachers use it before they come to the White House. Have you been to the  White House? STRAHAN: Oh yeah. ROBERTS: [LAUGHS] A time or two. BIDEN: Okay, alright, I just wanted to make sure that you got to. [Laughter] LARA SPENCER: I'd like to come again. BIDEN: Okay! STRAHAN: We never had a cat's eye view. LARA SPENCER: Willow really does have the best perch. BIDEN: Yeah. SPENCER: This is your third children's book -- BIDEN: Yes. SPENCER: -- Dr. Biden, what is it about writing to kids that is so special to you? BIDEN: Well, I am an English teacher and I want children to love reading. And I want children to know that reading is fun, learning is fun, and I want, you know, people to know about the White House and the people inside that make it all run because there are almost 100 people there. And they dedicate their lives to making the White House run. And it doesn't matter whether you are a Republican family or a democratic family. They always make everything so special for us. And for the people who visit there every single day. We have thousands of people come on tours and they make it beautiful. They make the house beautiful for all the people in the United States. STRAHAN: And you're so passionate about education. BIDEN: I am. STRAHAN: Yes. And you had the first ever teacher of the year State Dinner. And so, with your finger on the pulse of education right now, what are the biggest concerns for teachers and how can we help them? BIDEN: Well, I think when I talk to teachers and we had that State Dinner which is the highest honor for teachers and it was so filled with joy. The whole night was just magic. And I think that teachers are always sort of thinking about their students. You know a lot of students are dealing with mental health issues. I think a lot of that is due to the pandemic. And so, I think that if we commit probably to acts of kindness each and every day, I try to tell my students that and my own kids and grandkids, it makes such a difference, you know? Just the little smile, maybe a pat, maybe it’s that note, maybe -- STRAHAN: Yeah. BIDEN: -- it’s something to reach out to people to make connections. ROBERTS: I know we often talk about how we all have a favorite teacher --  SPENCER: Yeah. BIDEN: Uh-huh ROBERTS: -- and how they impacted our life. This Saturday we know where you are going to be, Erie County Community College. BIDEN: College, yes!

Come on in there, Seth. [Cheers and applause] BIDEN: Oh, my goodness! Thank you! Oh my goodness, thank you! SPENCER: We can packed those up for you. We just wanted to say have a happy birthday.  BIDEN: Oh, thank you. SPENCER: We know you are busy, but we hope you take a moment to celebrate yourself. BIDEN: Thank you. STEPHANOPOULOS: Happy birthday. ROBERTS: Thank you for all that you do. SPENCER: And congrats on the book! We love Willow! BIDEN: Thanks! STRAHAN: Thank you for being here. An absolute -- absolute pleasure. And Willow the White House Cat will be available next Tuesday. Best -- best -- best perspective in the White House --  SPENCER: Yep! STRAHAN: -- everybody. (...)  

MRC Free Speech America Vice President Dan Schneider called out Big Tech for censorship, discrimination and election interference during a hearing at the Texas Capitol.  During a May 29 hearing of the Texas Senate Committee on State Affairs, committee members heard from several witnesses, including Schneider, about Big Tech censorship and election interference. During the hearing, Schneider touched on Facebook’s outright discrimination against certain users, undeniable election interference efforts and upcoming free speech cases that are currently before the U.S. Supreme Court.  During his opening remarks, Schneider presented work done by MRC Free Speech America and blistered Big Tech companies such as Facebook for their bias and discrimination.   MRC's @Schneider_DC testifies before the Texas Senate about our unique database https://t.co/PnA94qKHV4 which tracks Big Tech censorship of free speech. pic.twitter.com/u4APrirGLD — Free Speech America (@FreeSpeechAmer) May 29, 2024 Schneider warned that the future of free speech in many ways lies in the hands of three cases soon to be decided by the U.S. Supreme Court. “[W]e are at risk of losing the First Amendment entirely,” he said. “The Google/Facebook attorney has argued that our individual rights to free speech are nothing compared to the government’s right to free speech to coordinate with Big Tech to silence individuals, which of course turns the First Amendment upside down.”  Schneider also shredded Big Tech for its bias and outright discrimination. “It’s important for you all to know that Google and Facebook, and these other Big Tech firms, they’ve resurrected the Plessy v. Ferguson standard,” Schneider said. “They believe that not only can they discriminate against people based on political viewpoint, they can, and in fact do, discriminate against people based on race and religion,” he added referring to a case in which Facebook argued that it could discriminate against a Sikh religious group. When Texas State Senator Tan Parker asked Schneider about how social media algorithms drive bias, Schneider pointed out that algorithms are written by people who often have biases. “What we know is that those algorithms are drafted in a way specifically to achieve outcomes. These outcomes, oftentimes, are articulated by the corporate leadership.”  He gave the example of a meeting at Google following the 2016 election. “[Y]ou had the most senior Google employees, specifically at an all-hands-on meeting, vowing that this would never be allowed to happen again their resources were put into altering future election outcomes and it's gone on to this day.”   Schneider added that the Big Tech companies, “Collude with advertisers and media ratings firms like NewsGuard and Ad Fontes and then other organizations like the Southern Poverty Law Center and the ADL, that used to care about the rights of individuals, but now they’re just politicized, radical left-wing organizations that exist to silence everyday Americans.”  The MRC Free Speech America Vice President also offered a solution. “This collusion, I believe, is in violation of the Sherman Antitrust Act and then similar laws at the state level that prohibit illegal restraint on trade. So, I think that that could be a very good avenue for this committee and for the attorney general to explore.”  Following the hearing, Senate Committee on State Affairs Chair Bryan Hughes announced that the committee had unanimously voted to authorize subpoenas against Big Tech companies. In a post on X, Hughes wrote, “There is strong evidence that big tech imposes their own biases to manipulate and stifle dissenting voices, undermining election integrity. Texas will not stand for that.” Conservatives are under attack. Contact your representatives and demand that Big Tech be held to account to mirror the First Amendment while providing transparency and an equal footing for conservatives. If you have been censored, contact us at the Media Research Center contact form, and help us hold Big Tech accountable.

A fugitive murder suspect believed to be living in the U.S. illegally was recently apprehended near Houston, Texas.Leo Acosta Sanchez, a 21-year-old Mexican national, has apparently been on the radar of local and federal law enforcement for some time. A statement from ICE indicated that she entered the U.S. "as a nonimmigrant" last August and ever since has reportedly been shuttling back and forth between Splendora, Texas, and Terrenos, a controversial land development better known as Colony Ridge, which in recent years has attracted many illegal-immigrant buyers because of its lax lending policies.'She remains in ICE custody pending disposition of her immigration proceedings.'Sanchez is also wanted for murder by Interpol, an international law enforcement organization, though where and when the alleged murder took place have not been reported.On Friday, officers with the City of Splendora Police Department spotted Sanchez "behind the wheel of a vehicle" during "routine traffic patrol," a police press release said. The officers immediately called for backup. Once that backup arrived, they then conducted a traffic stop on the suspect, who was subsequently arrested.Sanchez was taken into custody "in a joint effort with the Department of Homeland Security" and now faces "charges related to the alleged crimes committed," said the police press release, which likewise described Sanchez as a "dangerous individual."The statement from Splendora PD did not clarify whether Sanchez is wanted in connection with any crimes committed inside the U.S., but ICE indicated that she has "violated the terms of her admission" since entering the country last year."She remains in ICE custody pending disposition of her immigration proceedings," the ICE statement said.The police press release implied that the suspect is married, referring to her as "Mrs. Sanchez" (emphasis added). Whether she is married and, if so, whether her spouse is an American citizen are both unclear.Like Blaze News?

Biden Loses Battle With the Teleprompter AGAIN, Mumbles His Way Through ANOTHER Speech

Back in 2021, I began my career as a video game journalist here at DualShockers. Bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, I couldn't believe I'd landed my dream job. Shortly after, I was tasked with my first review: Returnal. I was nervous but eager to dig into this gorgeous-looking game on my shiny new PlayStation 5. Within a short amount of time, I knew I loved Returnal. The only problem? I sucked at it.
