On Monday, Washington Free Beacon senior writer Andrew Styles reported on a series of leftist media incidents about Democrats “making history” on the diversity front, while consistently ignoring the same progress for Republicans. He cited, for example, how “this weekend’s 60-minute episode included a portion of Pete Boutigig” and welcomed him as “the first publicly gay cabinet secretary to be confirmed by Congress.”

Steels corrects the record: “The next sentence deliberately avoids the fact that Richard Grenell, a Republican, was the first publicly homosexual cabinet member in U.S. history. Grenell served as acting director of the National Intelligence Agency under President Donald Trump, and was confirmed by Congress in 2018 for the role of US ambassador to Germany. “He then pointed to a pattern in the press:” Which is seldom celebrated and often overlooked Lt. Gov. Winsome Sears (R., V.) received similar treatment last year after becoming the first colored woman to be elected to a statewide office in Virginia. “

Washington – In his speech to Congress on Wednesday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky doubled down on his request to impose a no-fly zone over Ukraine.

Zelensky continues to press NATO countries for air support, including a no-fly zone, where US or NATO warplanes have to shoot down Russian bombers and other aircraft that appear to be targeting civilians.

“No-fly zone cannot be enforced. It’s not even on the table right now, “said correspondent Victoria Spartz (R-IN-5th), who was born in Ukraine. “But, to be able to evacuate some people, they have to protect their humanitarian corridors and some things are possible.”

After listening to Zelensky’s speech, Spartz said he felt encouraged when he spoke to some of his Democratic colleagues in Congress who said he was just as dissatisfied with President Biden’s “lack of action.”

Zelensky said that if a no-fly zone was not yet possible, he would request more air support from NATO countries in the form of military assistance. About an hour after Zelensky’s speech, President Biden approved a nearly 800 800 million aid package for Ukraine, including drones.

In announcing the aid package, Biden called Russian President Vladimir Putin a “war criminal.”

Even so, many are still unhappy with Biden’s move to help Ukraine. In response to Zelensky’s call for air support, Representative Jackie Walrowski (R-IN-2nd) wants the President to approve the transfer of several MiG-29 fighter jets from Poland to Ukraine.

Poland has offered a MiG to Ukraine, but other NATO nations, including the United States, have not said so.

“President Zelensky has heard a lot and believes that if they had air power, they would be victorious. I think many of us understand that, “said Walrowski.” We can applaud all day, but we don’t have what he needs, and that is air support. To do this.

Walrowski is in the camp of lawmakers who do not support a no-fly zone over Ukraine.

President Biden insists his administration is working to impose sanctions on Russia.

Post Hussein Lamwalkers first appeared on 93.1FM WIBC, pressing the White House to provide more air support to Ukraine.

On Wednesday, Axios broke the tragic story that the Biden administration was considering the possibility of removing Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) from the terror blacklist if they publicly promised not to be naughty in the future. It was the latest development in President Biden’s efforts to defend former President Obama’s nuclear deal at all costs (including conscience and dignity) and was completely ignored by the evening’s flagship newscast from the broadcast networks.

Instead of covering this story, ABC’s World news tonight, CBS Evening NewsAnd NBC Nightly News The Federal Reserve touted interest rate hikes. There was also a report on ABC about the weather.

Axios’ Barak Ravid reports that “the Biden administration is considering removing Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps from the blacklist of terrorism in exchange for public pledges from Iran to reduce tensions in the region, three Israeli officials and two US sources told me.”

“The IRGC is not only Iran’s most feared military arm, but also a powerful political and economic player,” Ravid wrote. The title “terrorism” means that even if Biden lifts the nuclear sanctions in return for compliance with the agreement, criminal penalties may be imposed on the person or business associated with the IRGC. “

Added: “But removing the title is a political hot potato for Biden. It will probably create a stir among Republicans and several Democrats in the Senate.”

Although the broadcast networks were ignoring the story because it might be another foreign policy mistake for the Biden administration, according to Fox News Channel. Special report Not like them to the Democratic president.

“The administration is considering removing Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps from the list of foreign terrorist organizations if the IRGC publicly offers to reduce its aggression in the region,” said Rich Edson, a senior national correspondent. He went on to note, “This weekend [the IRGC] Has fired a dozen missiles into northern Iraq. Some landed near a US consulate building there. “

Now, it does not seem that they are committed to “de-escalation in the region”.

Edson stated that they had pressured the State Department to “consider it appropriate for the IRGC to consider removing the terrorist designation for such an attack on the part of the United States,” but declined to comment:

Edson: Spokesman Ned Price declined to comment on specific issues, although he defended the administration’s efforts to revive the nuclear deal with Iran. Which would lift sanctions on Iran’s nuclear program in exchange for a temporary embargo.

NED Price (State Department Spokesperson): The challenges that we will face and face from Iran will be the support of proxies, support for terrorist groups, ballistic missile program, all these challenges will become more difficult. Iran will deal if it has nuclear weapons.

“Officials say the IRGC threats are forcing the State Department to provide security for former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and former Iranian ambassador to Afghanistan Brian Hooke,” Edson said in part because of the threat to their lives.

Biden’s blackout was probably made possible by the lucrative sponsorship of TD Ameritrade on ABC, Claritin on CBS, and NBC, to secure confirmation. Their contact information is linked.

Brett Bear: Also tonight, President Biden is going to make a huge change in US policy on Iran. Senior National Correspondent Rich Edson is here on behalf of the State Department to tell us, Good evening, rich.

Rich Edson: Good evening, Brett. The administration is considering removing Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps from its list of foreign terrorist organizations if the IRGC publicly offers to reduce aggression in the region. This information has been known through discussion. It was first reported on Axios.

Sources said that the administration has not yet taken a final decision in this regard. IRGC is a paramilitary group in Iran. It has fired a dozen missiles into northern Iraq this weekend. Some landed near the US Consulate building.

We asked the State Department this afternoon if it would be appropriate for the United States to consider removing the terrorist designation for such an attack on the IRGC. Despite defending the administration’s efforts to revive the nuclear deal with Iran, spokesman Ned Price declined to comment on specific issues. Which would lift sanctions on Iran’s nuclear program in exchange for a temporary embargo.

Edson: Officials say the IRGC threat is also forcing the State Department to provide security for former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and former Iranian ambassador Brian Hook. About three years ago, the Trump administration designated the IRGC as a foreign terrorist organization. This is the first time any government agency has made this list. A foreign terrorist designation automatically strikes that entity with a ban. Brett

BAIER: Rich Edson at the State Department. Rich, thank you.

Andrew Cuomo resigned as governor of New York less than a year ago and he is already considering running for the same office again.

Even the people who died in the nursing home on his watch have not been fully investigated and yet he thinks he deserves to get his old job back.

Even Democrats do not want him to run again.

CNBC reports:

Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is considering fighting Kathy Hochul despite opposition from his own party.

Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo is considering running for office as part of an effort to bring back his replacement and fellow Democrat, Gov. Kathy Huchul, after she resigned after being humiliated by multiple allegations of sexual harassment by former allies, according to sources.

Cuomo, who inadvertently left office after denying allegations of harassment last year, called on supporters about a possible race against his former lieutenant governor. His associates are conducting their own internal voter polls in potential matchups, these people explained. Those who declined to be named did so in order to speak freely about personal matters.

Quomo was a few points behind Hochul after recent opinion polls from Emerson College and The Hill showed that the former governor had received calls from allies urging him to fight Hochul, a person close to Kuomo said. That poll, published last week, showed Cuomo was just four points behind Hochul, probably with New York Democratic primary voters. This is a rare poll showing Kuomo near Hochul with early voters. Hochul is ready for re-election in 2022 and Rep. Tom Suozzi is having an early fight with DN.Y6 As well as New York City Public Advocate Juman Williams.

If the former governor gets to sign the thousands of voter petitions needed to go to the polls by the April deadline, a campaign against Hochul could start a big initial fight.

He may not go as far as he thinks.

It’s been almost two years. The media is finally catching up AndrewquomoAtrocities and coverups in nursing homes. Grateful @ Tomdinapoli To be by the side of the angels and to report the truth in his state audit. GovKathyHochul You need to stop being involved. pic.twitter.com/TvzrlCzKx3

The death of that nursing home needs to be investigated.

Posted from Cross American Lookout.

Report Post: Former NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo first appeared on The Gateway Pundit, thinking of running again.

On Tuesday, the New York State Comptroller found that former Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s administration had purposefully reduced COVID nursing home deaths to more than 50 percent, a former Cuomo aide admitting it was done to quell criticism of then-President Donald Trump. All three evening newscasts ignored the report, along with Fox News Special report And the local Fox affiliate Fox 5 NY is the only other network to cover this release.

Although they have covered this new Kuomo story from ABC World news tonight, CBS Evening NewsAnd NBC Nightly News The Federal Reserve was hyped that raising interest rates. ABCO thought it was important to talk about the weather.

In a report on Fox 5 NY, anchor Morgan Mac announced that “The Cuomo administration has stopped counting the number of residents who were infected with COVID at a facility but later died at a hospital. In New York, fewer nursing home residents than Covid seem to have died. “ Mack also mentioned it “This audit is now the third state investigation to conclude that the Cuomo administration made a deliberate decision to withhold this data from the public.”

Later in the report, Mack mentions the apparent motivation for Kuomo’s coveted death coverup. “In a leaked recording, the governor’s top aide admits he deliberately kept the information secret from the public to avoid an attack by former President Donald Trump.”

As mentioned earlier, Fox News’ Brett Bear, who appears to be one of the latest genuine television journalists, also covered the New York Comptroller’s report:

A new audit by Fox 5 in New York found that the administration of then-Governor Andrew Cuomo failed to account for nearly (…) more than 441 nursing home residents (…) who died from COVID-19. The state health department has reduced nursing home deaths by more than 50 percent during the epidemic, the report said.

You can be sure that the networks will not ignore this story if it covers the death of Florida Republican Governor Ron Descentis Nursing Home.

This blackout of disrespectful former governor Andrew Cuomo was made possible by profiteering sponsorship from under-reporting the death of a cowardly nursing home for political gain. TD Ameritrade At ABC, Claritin CBS, and To confirm On NBC. Their contact information is linked.

5:30 p.m.

Morgan McKay: The Cuomo administration has stopped counting the number of residents who were infected with COVID at a facility but later died at a hospital. Covid in New York appears to have killed far fewer nursing home residents. But the audit is now the third state investigation to conclude that the Kuomo administration has deliberately decided to withhold this information from the public.

Bill Hammond (Empire Center Health Policy Expert): They have not been told the truth about what is happening.

MCKAY: The New York State Comptroller has found that the administration under former Governor Andrew Cuomo is counting less than fifty percent of nursing home deaths during the epidemic.

Hammond: The picture that the governor painted was disconnected, just above the situation, doing everything possible to get the experts to listen. Almost all statements end up not being completely true.

MCKAY: Now this revelation is not very surprising because the Kuomo spokesperson mentioned that it was already public knowledge. But it does remind voters of the spark that led to Kuomo’s final resignation, as Kuomo potentially marks a comeback.

Basil Smickel (Director of Public Policy at Hunter College): There are still many unanswered questions and I imagine that if he decides to enter the race he will be involved in these questions in addition to the abuse questions.

MCKAY: In January 2021, the state’s attorney general released a report showing that the state is underestimating the number of nursing home residents who have died from covid. In a leaked recording, the governor’s top aide admits he deliberately kept the information secret from the public to avoid an attack by former President Donald Trump. Kuomo has accused a lawmaker of leaking the recording after he turned around and threatened Kuomo on national television. Just a few weeks later, the first lady came forward accusing Kuomo of sexual misconduct.

Brett Bear: A new audit by Fox 5 in New York found that the administration of then-Governor Andrew Cuomo failed to account for about 441 – I’m sorry, 441 hundred nursing home residents. I think 441 people have died from Kovid-19. The state health department has reduced nursing home deaths by more than 50 percent during the epidemic, the report said.

Liberal journalists now lament that some in the conservative media “regularly repeat Russian speaking points on TV,” as if liberals have always viewed the Russian government as an expansionist enemy. In fact, American conservatives have long been Russia’s toughest domestic critics, and liberals have long advocated Russian totalitarianism and moral equality between American and European democracies.

Sting sang a song called “Russian” which rejected the Cold War and the Hot War, declaring them invincible. How does that look right now?

In the latest newsbuster podcast, we dig deeper into the archives of the Media Research Center to explore Russian media treatment during and after the Cold War. Research director Scott Whitlock joined the show on how the media elite has for years admired Soviet communism and its egalitarian dream. In 1988, Ted Turner aired a documentary series titled TBS Portrait of the Soviet Union It was so pro-Soviet that the Soviets apologized for it on Russian TV.

With the liberalization of the Soviet Union and the subsequent cessation of existence, the American media elites often lamented how Russia would become “another capitalist machine” and that the Russians had lost all dreams of socialist protection of the grave from their cradle. So they should probably not talk about repeating the “point of speaking Russian on TV”.

On wednesday 11th hour On MSNBC, during part of the ongoing war in Ukraine, Stephanie Ruhel claimed that it was a “far-right” statement that the United States was not doing anything to help Ukraine, as if there were “significant numbers of people far away” – exactly who claimed to help Ukraine. Nothing is being done.

“There are reports that people are falling for inclusion in the media – that the United States is not doing much to help Ukraine. That is not true.” Ruhle claims when the segment starts. He then listed the various weapons and other military supplies that the Biden administration was providing to Ukraine so that they could successfully fight Russian aggression in their country.

Turning to Eugene Daniels, editor of the Politico Playbook, he asked indifferently, “Isn’t the White House already doing a lot strategically?” To which Daniels replied, “Absolutely not.” Apparently, he had forgotten that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky had repeatedly asked the Biden administration to impose sanctions on Russian President Vladimir Putin before invading Ukraine, as well as his repeated requests to allow the transfer of warplanes from Poland. Provided.

Despite that, Daniels has still been done with enough emphasis “Working to build an alliance of countries around the world. As well as Try[ing] To work with our allies and determine what sanctions will work to keep this alliance together. “

Ruhel then jumps in again and claims: “It’s a far-right statement that the United States is not doing anything. And the same Republican lawmakers who are pushing for President Biden to step down are the same people who didn’t want Trump to do anything.”

This is, of course, a Straman argument, with no one claiming that the United States is doing anything to help Ukraine. But there are many in Congress, including the bipartisan majority, who do not believe the Biden administration is doing enough to support that country.

Apparently the Conservatives are done throwing rubbish, Ruhel changes gears. “Great combination “. By Biden administration. He turned to his other guest, former ambassador William Taylor “Can you talk about President Biden – has he done a good job of uniting our allies around the world? From my small seat, it seems like a wonderful, coordinated effort.”

Presumably, Taylor claims: “The coordination has been great, Stephanie. A colleague of General McCaffrey, General Doug Luke, who knows something about the increase in the military, saw it as a diplomatic upsurge. President Biden, Blinken, Sullivan, Austin, he has never seen such intense, consistent, high-level, periodic diplomatic activity – it’s an amazing emergence, an amazing achievement. “

Ruhel then rolled up the segment and went on a commercial break.

MSNBC’s 11th hour
3/16/2022
11:11:53 pm East

Stephanie Ruhel: Eugene, I want to start with you. There is a story that people are falling for in the media – that the United States is not doing much to help Ukraine. That’s not true. For information, please see this list. 800 Stinger anti-aircraft systems, 9,000 anti-armor systems, including 2000 javelins, 7000 rifles, machine guns, shotguns, grenade launchers, 100 drones. And 20 million rounds of ammunition. And I didn’t even mention the big sanctions that are crippling their economy so much that Putin has to admit in his speech today. Isn’t the White House already doing a lot strategically?

Eugene Daniels: Absolutely not. And not to mention what happened before the attack began. Right? Working to form an alliance of countries around the world to do exactly the same thing. Trying to determine what sanctions would work to form and keep this alliance with our allies, because it has become even more dangerous because it has become too dangerous for countries to give Ukraine what it can do. And the things you outlined today, just, now extra things, this country has helped Ukraine a lot in the last few months and years, because they are dealing with what is happening with Russia. And that aspect of it, I think, is lost a lot of the time because people are seeing all these horrible, horrible images of babies, pregnant women, attacking people, who are obviously not in the army or not. . And so it means that people are saying, well, what are we doing to help? And don’t admit that all that has been done.

The administration knows this, they know people are coming to the United States, and they say they should do more. That is why they are continuing their work. This is why you are watching the President go to Europe next week to make sure that everyone knows that he is still there and that this country is still trying its best to make it clear that what is happening in Ukraine will not stop and America will continue. We get the resources to move forward.

Ruhel: The situation on Ukrainian soil is devastating. But we should remind our listeners that this is an ultra-right narrative that pushes the United States to do nothing. And those same Republican lawmakers who are pushing for President Biden to step down are the same people who didn’t want to do anything to Trump.

(…)

RUHEL: Before we left, Ambassador Taylor, just what General was referring to, you know Europe is uniting, can you talk about President Biden – has he done a good job of uniting our allies around the world? From my small seat, it feels awesome, the combination.

William Taylor: The coordination has been great, Stephanie. A colleague of General McCaffrey, General Doug Luke, who knows something about the increase in the military, noticed that it was a diplomatic upsurge. President Biden, Blinken, Sullivan, Austin, he has never seen such intense, consistent, high-level, over-the-top diplomatic activity – it’s an amazing rise, an amazing achievement. I worked in NATO at a time when there were 16 countries, now there are 30. And putting them together is a challenge. And then you got Japanese and South Korean and Australian. It has been a major endeavor, and it has been a great success.
