O'Keefe Media Group Uncovers who is Really Running the White House – Special Advisor Reveals That Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton Are Still Involved Behind The Scenes! (VIDEO)
[Gateway] Tyler Robinson, a special advisor at the United States Small Business Administration (SBA), recently revealed to an O’Keefe Media Group undercover journalist the inner workings of the Biden Administration and who is really running the White House.

BLUF:

Robinson also revealed that Biden’s shadow cabinet of advisors, which includes Barrack Obama and Hillary Clinton. According to Robinson, Hillary Clinton is close to people in the White House, such as Director of the Domestic Policy Council Neera Tanden, a former employee of Hillary Clinton, and uses them to influence policy. "She does a lot of the international stuff... They have like the Clinton Initiative," he added.

Recall that O’Keefe previously exposed another White House official who admitted that Joe Biden’s mental health is in decline and that there are closed-door discussions about how to remove Kamala Harris from the 2024 ticket without stirring a "scandal" and giving poor optics to the American people.

#1  ...there are closed-door discussions about how to remove Kamala Harris from the 2024 ticket...

Can we assume Clinton has the lead on this one ?

#5  Neera Tanden - key name in the "Supreme Soviet Central Committee" that actually runs the country:
"May 2023, the Whitehouse announced that Tanden would serve as President Biden’s domestic policy adviser. Tanden replaced former adviser Susan Rice who had recently vacated the post. President Biden told reporters that “Neera Tanden will continue to drive the formulation and implementation of my domestic policy, from economic mobility and racial equity to health care, immigration and education.” 43

"Politico has described Tanden as a “longtime Clinton confidante,”13 while Vox labeled her “one of the more liberal members of Clintonland.”14 Tanden, Politico wrote, “has spent the better part of two decades at Clinton’s side — first as a White House aide, then as a top staffer in her Senate office, later as policy director of the 2008 campaign.” 15 In fact, then-First Lady Hillary Clinton threw Tanden a wedding shower at the White House. 16

In October 2016, Tanden said, “I would do whatever Hillary needs always. I owe her a lot. And I’m a loyal soldier.”17

#9  So when is Harris committing suicide? Is there a pool?
Posted by: Glenmore || 04/18/2024 15:00 Comments || Top||

#10  They will offer Harris a deal where she gets to finish out Joe’s term. She will agree not understanding that they mean for her to make no independent decisions. She will get to be the first woman president. Kamala will then try to exercise real power on her own initiatives. Not sure what happens at that point.
Posted by: Super Hose || 04/18/2024 16:24 Comments || Top||

#11  I think Harris is so unreliable and ambitious she would say and do anything to get the Oval Office. But if shevdid, all bets would be off about her leaving at the end of Biden’s term. They painted themselves into a very tight corner. I think Super Hose is right, no telling what might happen.

#12  My prediction is the Dems will run with Gretchen Whitmer, current Governor of Michigan. In addition to being a Vagino-American, she is a loyal Dem soldier and has national media exposure via her federally-sponsored "kidnapping plot".

Democrats KILL Alejandro Mayorkas' impeachment
[MAIL] Democratic Senators have dismissed both impeachment charges against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and blocked a historic trial over his role the border crisis.

President Biden's border chief escaped an investigation and first impeachment of a cabinet secretary in 150 years after the Senate voted along party lines to kill both articles.

Republicans claimed their rivals were trying to 'set the Constitution ablaze' and break '200 years of precedent' by shutting down the trial before it had even began.

The GOP says Mayorkas is to blame for the historic surge in migrants crossing the southern border and claim his policies show the dire situation is intentional.

It is a victory for the White House who have called the impeachment a sham, and an embarrassing defeat for House Republicans who have also stalled in their investigation into President Biden.

Missouri Files Injunction To Block Biden's 'Illegal Student Loan Plan' While Lawsuit Plays Out
[ZERO] Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey announced on Wednesday that the state has filed for a temporary restraining order (TRO) to block the Biden administration's "illegal student loan plan," referred to by a coalition of states as "Plan B," which was implemented shortly after a previous attempt ("Plan A") was deemed illegal by the Supreme Court.

"Plan B" aims to forgive student loans under different statutory provisions, but faces similar legal challenges as plan A - primarily surrounding the authority to enact such broad debt cancellation without clear congressional authorization.

"From the moment the Supreme Court ruled in Biden v. Nebraska, President Biden made clear he would ’stop at nothing’ to evade the decision," reads the TRO request. "Although the challenged rule, by its own text, was not supposed to take effect until this July, Defendants decided to start implementing it early and have already illegally cancelled billions of dollars in loans."

"Defendants make almost no attempt to meaningfully distinguish their Plan B from their patently unlawful Plan A," the filing continues.

#1  Basically, anyone paying a student loan right now is a sucker because Joe needs all students to vote for him. His need to bribe voters will only increase. Eventually, he will float reparations as a possibility in his second term.

Republican senator makes new push to defund NPR as whistleblower editor resigns
[NYPOST] Sen. Marsha Blackburn wants to end federal funding for National Public Radio after the resignation of a veteran editor following his suspension for publicly accused the outlet of espousing liberal bias.

“The mainstream media has become obsessed with doing the Left’s bidding and taking down strong conservatives — and NPR has led the pack,” Blackburn (R-Tenn.) told Fox News Digital in an interview published Wednesday.

“It makes no sense that the American people are forced to fund a propagandist left-wing outlet that refuses to represent the voices of half the country. NPR should not receive our tax dollars.”

Uri Berliner announced on social media Wednesday morning that he was leaving NPR, where he had worked for 25 years covering business news.

“I don’t support calls to defund NPR,” Berliner’s resignation statement read. “I respect the integrity of my colleagues and wish for NPR to thrive and do important journalism.

#3  NPR claiming to be dealing in facts?

Bwahahahahahahaaaa....

#4  Skidmark, she also said truth gets in the way of getting things done.
Posted by: Deacon+Blues || 04/18/2024 11:37 Comments || Top||

#5  I don’t think there is much federal direct funding of NPR - maybe 10%. There is probably more indirect funding washed through various foundations. Blocking funding in January would be helpful. Make the leftists pay for their own propaganda.
Posted by: Super Hose || 04/18/2024 11:55 Comments || Top||

#6  M. Murcek's right - I've read at least three stories on this and the 50 NPR employees don't mention a specific 'factual inaccuracy', which means there were no factual inaccuracies.
Posted by: Raj || 04/18/2024 12:09 Comments || Top||

#7  I don’t think there is much federal direct funding of NPR - maybe 10%.

True. One of NPR's talking points is that they are listener funded. The way that works is the FedGov gives money to universities and such that then send it on to NPR. If you or I did that, we'd get called for money laundering. But it does make the numbers come out nice.

And let's not forget corporate sponsorship. The other day I heard an NPR commercial for MathWorks - Makers of MATLAB and Simulink software. These are high-end numerical computing packages which are probably *not* of interest to the average NPR drive-time listener who wouldn't know a spreadsheet if it bit them on the ass.
