White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre snapped at a reporter during Friday’s press briefing when confronted about President Joe Biden lying to the American people about pardoning his son, convicted felon Hunter Biden. The exchange came after Biden pardoned his son last week and then took a trip to Africa and Biden’s White House communications team avoided doing on-air press briefings for several days, likely hoping that they would not be asked on camera about their repeated lying to the American public that Biden would not pardon his son. “Zeke asked this question. I just didn’t hear an answer,” CNN’s MJ Lee began. “The next time that the president says he will or won’t do something, why should the American people believe him?” “I answered that question,” Jean-Pierre claimed. “I don’t have anything else to add.” Lee again pressed Jean-Pierre to answer, to which KJP claimed: “I answered the question. I answered the question.” Lee politely asked Jean-Pierre if she could explain it in a way that was understandable for the American public. Jean-Pierre responded by insulting Lee, suggesting that she was not smart enough to understand her response. CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE “I can’t speak to you understanding the question or not or my answer or not on this,” Jean-Pierre snapped back. “I don’t have anything else to say. I’m not gonna re-litigate this. I did this on Monday for 30 minutes. I went back and forth.” She claimed that Biden put out a “really comprehensive” statement explaining his decision to pardon his son for gun crimes, tax crimes, and other crimes that he may have committed.

Congress will ban the use of taxpayer funds for gender transition surgeries for children that get their medical care through the military’s healthcare program, according to the text of legislation posted on Saturday evening. This year’s National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) includes language that prohibits coverage under Tricare of transgender procedures that could “result in sterilization” of children. Section 708 of the NDAA states: “Medical interventions for the treatment of gender dysphoria that could result in sterilization may not be provided to a child under the age of 18,” according to a copy of the NDAA viewed by The Daily Wire. Speaker of the House Mike Johnson told The Daily Wire on Saturday that this is a “critical and necessary step” in the fight against “radical gender ideology.” “Taxpayer dollars should never be used to support procedures and treatments that could permanently harm and sterilize young people,” Speaker of the House Mike Johnson told The Daily Wire. “In this year’s NDAA, we’re taking a critical and necessary step to protect the children of American service members from radical gender ideology and experimental drugs.” He further promised: “House Republicans will continue to take action to protect America’s kids.” BREAKING: The TRICARE program, which handles health care for the military, is banning transgender procedures that “could result in sterilization” of children. This is the final language of the NDAA legislation, which was just negotiated by leadership in the Senate & House: pic.twitter.com/C2J9eBk5ON — Mary Margaret Olohan (@MaryMargOlohan) December 8, 2024 The news follows oral arguments heard by the Supreme Court over Tennessee’s law banning transgender procedures for children. Conservatives have rallied around Tennessee, hoping that its law paves the way for other states, or even the federal government, to pass similar laws. Immediately after the hearing, Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS) introduced legislation that would ban doctors from performing life-altering and irreversible transgender procedures on kids across the country. The provision in the NDAA was first slipped into the bill this summer. There was speculation that this would be stripped during negotiations between Republicans and Democrats, but the provision survived and is in the final agreed upon legislation. It appears on page 398 of the nearly 2,000 page piece of legislation, which can be viewed in full here.  

It looks as if the royal family’s life may be returning to normal. The last year has been hard, particularly for Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis as they navigated life with a mother undergoing cancer treatment. Kate Middleton announced in September that her chemo was over, and she would be returning to her royal duties slowly but surely. Among the most anticipated was her fourth annual Together at Christmas carol service. On December 6, Princess Kate and her children attended the event, the young royals’ first public outing as a threesome in six months. Photos of the beautiful event at Westminster Abbey show the royal family ready for Christmas. View this post on Instagram A post shared by The Prince and Princess of Wales (@princeandprincessofwales) Princess Kate And Her Children Were Glowing Quite literally, the family held candles and sang carols during the traditional event. William and Kate shared images of the happy family on their official Instagram. The caption reads, “An evening to come together and celebrate this festive season as the Together at Christmas Carol Service returns to Westminster Abbey. Shining a light on individuals from all over the UK who have shown love, kindness, and empathy towards others in their communities.” Royal enthusiasts loved seeing everyone together again. One wrote, “So beautiful to see this initiative thrive. This whole event screams Catherine in capital letters. I love seeing everyone, from artists to guests to the family enjoying it every year. What a great asset she is to this institution.” This person agreed, “It’s so wonderful to see the whole family together! Looking forward to watching the program! So wonderful to have Catherine back.” Together at Christmas will air in Great Britain on Christmas Eve, so we’ll have to settle for pictures for now. Princess Kate, William, and their children looked like the picture of health and holiday cheer. We hope they have the merriest Christmas yet.
