Maybe the lack of star formation is because it’s so sad.

In the second White House press briefing since the presidential election and a day before the surreal Oval Office sit-down between President Biden and President-Elect Trump, Fox’s Peter Doocy drew Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre’s ire when he wonddered “how awkward was” Tuesday’s lunch between Biden and Vice President Harris at the White House. Jean-Pierre pretended to stammer in confusion as Doocy tried to explain himself: “I don’t even understand. Why would — why would it be awkward? Why would it be awkward? Why would — why would you — but why would — why would you characterize it as awkward? They have regular lunches. Uh — they meet and talk regularly.”     Amid all that hoopla, Doocy expanded: “Because — because the President got squeezed out for her and then she kept him at arm’s length, and then she lost and now, she’s back.” Jean-Pierre unloaded at Doocy once he made one last go at it: DOOCY: So, there’s no weirdness about the way that things have unfolded since July 21? JEAN-PIERRE: Did you see them — did you see them together yesterday as well when they honored our veterans and were together — uh — uh — during the day, making sure that we didn’t forget the brave men and women that fought for this country? Did you see them together yesterday? Did you see the — the show of force together? This is — uh —I’m not even gonna take the premise of this — the question. What I will say is the President and the Vice President had lunch today. They’ve had lunch many times. They have — um — they communicate with each other regularly. They had an opportunity to discuss the last 70 days or so of this administration, how important it is to get things done for the American people, and that’s their focus. That is genuinely their focus. Moments earlier, Doocy had asked whether Harris would be at the White House Wednesday (no), whether Biden would ask Trump “to pardon his son Hunter” for him since the current President has insisted he wouldn’t, and if Biden would tell Trump about what he believes is the country’s biggest threat (as Obama did in making the case to Trump it was North Korea). Towards the end of the briefing, Time magazine’s Brian Bennett delivered this missive from the left that Biden take steps to protect illegal immigrants from a Trump Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Border Patrol: Time magazine’s Brian Bennett: “President Trump has promised to launch the largest deportation in American history when he becomes president.

The lack of border security under the Biden administration is one of many reasons the nation re-elected Donald Trump. The people are ready to see the mass deportations Trump has promised come to fruition. Per usual, however, the mainstream media/propaganda arm of the Democrat Party is spinning lies about what mass deportations mean. Dave Rubin plays the clip of “The View” co-host Ana Navarro lying about Trump’s intentions to deport American citizens and the response from Tom Homan, Trump’s border czar. “If you have U.S. citizen children or a U.S. citizen spouse and you don’t want to separate them, then let’s deport the U.S. citizens,” Navarro said, referring to Trump’s mass deportation plan. “When you talk about mass deportations, people think, ‘Oh, it's just going to be the criminals.’ ... What it means is grandmothers; what it means is brothers and aunts; what it means is abuelos y abuelas; it means dreamers; it means your family members; it means your colleagues,” Navarro claimed. Following these erroneous statements, Trump’s appointed border czar Tom Homan joined “The Sean Hannity Show” to clear up any confusion. “Are you planning on deporting American citizens?” Hannity asked. “No, exactly not. Look, ‘The View,’ it’s like the island of misfit toys,”’ he chuckled. “They don’t know what the hell they’re talking about.” Homan then explained Trump’s actual plan: To “prioritize public safety threats and national security threats first,” meaning they’re going to seek out “convicted criminal aliens in this country” and issue “orders of removal.” However, that doesn’t mean that if you’re an illegal alien who’s not a convicted criminal that you’re safe. “If you're in the country illegally, you shouldn't feel comfortable — absolutely not,” Homan added. “When you enter this country illegally, you have committed a crime. You are a criminal, and you're not off the table.” “We’re finally getting the guy we’ve been waiting for!” says Dave.

A Connecticut teacher — who reportedly is assigned to special education at a public elementary school — has been placed on leave after a video circulated showing her threatening people who voted for President-elect Donald Trump.In the video, she claims that "people of color and poor people and gay people and all the people that I care about aren't gonna be safe in America — neither the f*** are you guys. Just because you won doesn't mean we don't remember who the f*** you voted for. You're not in the clear."'I can't unsee the video ... and I can't walk into that school. ... I’m literally shaking, I can't walk into that school and hand my kid off to that person.'She adds, "Please don't test your gangster on me because you will end on a stretcher. Gone. Forever. So serious. Nobody f***in' talk to me unless you wanna swing. If you wanna fight, text me, call me, whatever. Anybody else stay the f*** outta my face."The clip ends with her saying, "And if you voted for Trump, literally please delete me, block me, get rid of everything of me — or step to me, so that I know what’s up, and I can handle you how I see fit. Please, just come forward, we f***in' know. Just tell me. Or leave." Cheshire Public School’s Superintendent Jeff Solan said he was made aware of the Snapchat video over the weekend and that the teacher — whom the district has not identified — was placed on leave until the outcome of an investigation, WFSB-TV reported.Solan told the station that the district received a large number of calls — mostly from people outside the Cheshire community — and that business couldn't be conducted as usual with the teacher on campus.A police presence was put in place out of an abundance of caution, WFSB said, adding Cheshire police stated that they've launched their own investigation.WTIC-TV reported that it learned the teacher is assigned to special education at Chapman Elementary School in Cheshire.Solan told WFSB the teacher intended the video as a private message to her Snapchat group and that she expressed her personal opinion, not the opinion of Cheshire Public Schools.WFSB added that Kate Dias, president of the Connecticut Education Association, released a statement about the teacher’s video in regard to respecting free speech:CEA values the right to free speech and respects the diverse opinions of our members. We know that emotions can run high after an election, and we encourage everyone to engage in respectful conversations as part of our democratic process. Keeping our discussions civil and focused is important in maintaining a positive environment in our schools. We must continue to share our views constructively while prioritizing respect, unity, and our shared commitment to educating and caring for our students.WTIC said the Cheshire Town Council held a meeting Tuesday night, and some parents said they weren't happy with what was expressed in the video.WTIC reported that Amy Bourdon — a Cheshire mom whose son with special needs attends school in the district — said, "I saw a woman in crisis, and then when I replayed it a couple of times, I got up from my table and went and locked my front door."Bourdon — who is a Republican, WTIC said — added that "we are the targets. Our lives have been targeted by an individual that cashes a paycheck from the town of Cheshire every week."Lorie Barnes told WTIC that “I'm tired of being a Trump supporter and whispering."Barnes, who's lived in Cheshire all her life, added to WTIC that her grandson will be moving from England and entering the Cheshire school district — and now that terrifies her."I can't unsee the video ... and I can't walk into that school. ... I’m literally shaking, I can't walk into that school and hand my kid off to that person," Barnes told WTIC.You can view a news station video report here about the controversy.The hits just keep on comingAs Blaze News has previously reported this week, a Southern California high school teacher on the day after the election lashed out in a classroom at a student who was wearing a Trump hat. Blaze News this week also noted that a teacher at a different Southern California public high school went on a profane rant in his Advanced Placement world history class against Trump the day after the election and was placed on administrative leave.Like Blaze News?
