A White House truly in disarray, if we had a media to report on it

Depending on where you get your news, this week is either a tale of two narratives. Either Fox News is evil and abetting in the greatest attack on democracy since the Civil War, and nothing else matters than to use authoritarian tactics in order to silence the purported authoritarians.

Conversely, if you happen to share my quest to discern what actually took place this week outside of the legacy media’s collective narrative bubble, you would see that the wheels are coming off of this administration on almost every front. Here’s what we’ve learned, and what’s been made available to the public, but largely ignored by legacy media, in just the last week.

Former CDC director Robert Redfield dropped the hammer on Anthony Fauci in the first House COVID-19 subcommittee hearing Wednesday. His testimony was explosive, accusing Anthony Fauci of sidelining him over the lab leak in Wuhan in order to save Fauci’s own backside from exposure in the gain of function scandal.



Dr. Redfield also claimed that gain of function research is actually caused the greatest pandemic our world has seen.



DNI Avril Haines has trouble connecting the dots on Iran’s growing nuclear program at Senate Intel.

The main job of the Director of National Intelligence is to gather bits of the mosaic that is intelligence, and come up with actionable analysis or conclusions. She was asked why Iran seemed to restart their nuclear weapons program in earnest in November of 2020, and was totally stumped. Senator Tom Cotton had to help her along to reach the obvious conclusion.



White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre claimed incredulously Tuesday that Joe Biden had basically solved the fentanyl crisis in the U.S. and the worst was behind us because of his policies.



That was news to DNI Haines, who in Senate Intel testified that the agencies under her control are underprepared to deal with the problem.



Meanwhile, the secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorkas, sat down with CNN’s Christiane Amanpour and fought linguistic syntax use instead of dealing with the crisis at the border. Specifically, he won’t use the word crisis, and even has to couch the word challenge in the most reassuring way possible.



Speaking of challenges, the CCP isn’t just spying on us via spy balloons. They apparently are using cranes in our nation’s ports to do a little surveillance and reconnaissance. Fear not, said Karine Jean-Pierre, because the Biden administration is totally taking it seriously, and has tasked their top man on the job – Pete Buttigieg at the Department of Transportation. I’m sure that his past performance in handling the East Palestine rail disaster in Ohio is a good building block to how well he’ll handle the ChiComs committing espionage on U.S. soil.



At the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Chairman Mike McCaul got eyebrow-raising testimony from our Defense Intelligence Agency director, Lt. Gen. Scott Berrier. Short form? It’s just a matter of time before ISIS-K regroups and has the ability to attack us again.



This testimony was offered as part of an oversight look into the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal two years ago by Joe Biden. One of our former Marine snipers, Sgt. Tyler Vargas-Andrews, said he had the bomber that detonated himself at the Kabul Airport, in his sights, and was refused by the military chain of command to engage the bomber before he detonated himself, killing 13 of our military trying to control the gate, and countless Afghanis trying to escape before the Taliban took over. His testimony was devastating.



Senator Marco Rubio elicited testimony from FBI director Christopher Wray about the real threat posed by TikTok.



Wray also confirmed what the White House has been desperately trying to deny for the last couple of weeks, that the COVID virus most likely escaped out of the Wuhan lab.



The Senate finished sawing the limb out from under the House Democrats, who thought they were doing Biden a favor by supporting Democrats running the District of Columbia. D.C. passed an insane law reducing criminal penalties on all sorts of felonies, calling it a criminal reform bill. The House passed a bill overturning D.C.’s statute, and House Democrats waited for the impending Biden veto threat. Biden reversed himself, saying he would sign the bill. Wednesday evening, the Senate voted 81-14 to overturn D.C.’s bill, sending the measure to Biden’s desk for signature. House Democrats are seething. Senate Ted Cruz summed up the grisly stats, which show the real damage done when Democrats are put in charge of law and order.



Meanwhile, Vice President Kamala Harris would not be denied a least a moment in the sun if we’re talking about administrative disarray. She wants to address the country’s latest health crisis – climate mental health.



Speaking of mental health, imagine how the mental health of women everywhere around the world are going to be after seeing First Lady Jill Biden present a award, an international women of courage award, on International Women’s Day at the White House, to a biological male.



Where are all the feminists? Well, here’s one at the White House, Karine Jean-Pierre, mocking another feminist, Marianne Williamson.



Believe me, I could double the length of this column from this week alone. If I operated a popcorn stand for conservatives, business would be spectacular. Again, what is the news if you’re ABC/NBC/CBS/MSNBC/CNN/PBS? The latest incarnation of Mussolini and the mayor of Potemkin village are Tucker Carlson and Ron DeSantis. And Fox News should be pulled from the airwaves, because democracy. I sure hope next week isn’t this nutso, because it’s looking like a hoarder’s house at the studio with all this show material lying around.
