White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki gave a haphazard excuse as to why Vice President Kamala Harris has not visited the border. She claimed Harris’ focus “is not on the border” physically but “on a diplomatic level” after President Biden assigned her to be in charge of addressing the border migration crisis.

Psaki was asked to clarify the Vice President’s remarks that she had not made any plans to make a crisis-related trip to the border because of the ongoing coronavirus and the risks involved.

“Well, I would certainly have to ask her team about that specifically, but I would tell you also that her focus is not on the border. It’s on addressing the root causes in the Northern Triangle,” Psaki said.

“That’s why the majority of her time has been spent on working on a diplomatic level. She is going to have a bilateral meeting with the president of Guatemala this afternoon. She’s going to speak with the president of Mexico next week, and she’s working with them to ensure there are systems put in place to reduce the amount of migration coming from these countries, but also to address the root causes. And that’s really what the president asked her to do,” the press secretary added.

Psaki implied that Harris may not travel to the border for security reasons, although the vice president has recently made trips to states like Colorado and Illinois.

“If a president or a vice president goes down and visits a facility like this, you have to potentially clear some parts out. There’s a lot of security that comes. Our focus here is on solutions, on making progress, on moving these kids out of facilities,” Psaki said.

Doocy also asked about the news that copies of Harris’ children’s book “Superheroes Are Everywhere,” published in 2019, were given to migrant children arriving in the U.S.

“Of the vice president’s book? I’d have to check with our Health and Human Services team,” Psaki said.

“I’d have to certainly check on that. I hear it’s a good book,” she later said.

Harris says it is the former Trump administration that is to blame for the situation at the U.S./ Mexico border and is not something can be “solved overnight.”

Elon Musk stated that “a bunch of people will probably die” either on the way to or from Mars or on the red planet itself.

“You might die, it’s going to be uncomfortable and probably won’t have good food,” Musk told Peter Diamandis, -chairman of the X Prize Foundation for scientific discovery.

Musk said recruiting material aimed at potential space travelers should note how it will be an “arduous and dangerous journey where you may not come back alive.”

“Going to Mars reads like that advert for Shackleton going to the Antarctic,” he said.

“Honestly, a bunch of people will probably die in the beginning,” he said with a laugh, but added that it will be “a glorious adventure and it will be an amazing experience.”

The journey is “not for everyone,” he said, adding with a chuckle. “Volunteers only!”

Musk announced plans to send up to a million people to Mars by 2050, but he has said nothing about their return to Earth. In February, Musk announced that SpaceX plans to send its first “all-civilian” crew to space at the end of 2021. Tech entrepreneur Jared Isaacman will lead the command and SpaceX will pick three people to ride alongside him.

A Japanese billionaire who has already booked a seat on the first private flight to the moon said he’s willing to bring eight companions along — and he’ll pay their way.

Yusaku Maezawa last month put out an open call for people who want to join him on the SpaceX rocket, which is set to head to the moon in 2023.

“Are you satisfied with what you’re doing right now? By going to space could you do something that’s even better, even bigger? If that sounds like you, please join me,” Maezawa said in a video detailing his plans.

“I will pay for the entire journey. I have bought all the seats so it will be a private ride,” he said.

Maezawa, 45, an e-commerce billionaire, said he’s open to people with “all kinds of backgrounds.” He said he first thought to bring artists but has since “evolved.”

“The more I thought about it, the more ambiguous it became,” he said in the video. “And I began to think that maybe every single person who is doing something creative could be called an artist.”

“That is why I want to reach out to a wider, more diverse audience, to give more people around the world the opportunity to join this journey. If you see yourself as an artist, then you’re an artist.”

Maezawa said there are two criteria: “First of all, whatever activity you are into, by going to space, I hope that you can push its envelope to help other people and greater society in some way. I want someone with that kind of potential to take part.”

Former all-pro NFL defensive end and current sports analyst, Marcellus Wiley, finally told the truth about the radical-leftist LeBron James over one of his most controversial tweets the NBA star posted late last week. James, a left-wing Democrat activist, tweeted out a photograph of the police officer — who allegedly shot and killed a girl who was trying to stab another girl — writing, “YOU’RE NEXT. #ACCOUNTABILITY.” –

Wiley held James accountable for his rushing to extreme judgment on the incident after how the nation is still in turmoil from Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer, being convicted of murdering George Floyd.

“Who in the hell is looking at this situation any different?” Wiley asked about the shooting in Ohio that James responded to. “The cop has an impossible choice, which is to save a life. I’m going to have to take a life. And it’s just that simple. Like I get where we want to say, but this happened over here, but that ain’t this. I’m talking about right here.”

Wiley also took issue with James’ victim mentality after James claimed in a follow-up tweet, after deleting his tweet targeting the police officer, that “it’s about the entire system.”

“LeBron James in this tweet, what does he saying? ‘Oh man, the system.’ The system?” Wiley asked rhetorically. “The same system that is so broken that it allowed you to become a billionaire and never get arrested in it. But the system is broken? Are you speaking for other people? We have enough people out here telling us what not to do, what goes wrong. How about somebody who has made it? Single parent? LeBron James, what, he went to 10 different homes moving around Ohio his entire childhood. I would love to hear that story of how you became LeBron James against all odds, instead of always professing the odds are against all people.”

Wiley lamented that young people are growing up in a world where “they’re going to know the victim’s names before they know professor’s names and wise scholars like Thomas Sowell.”

Wiley also slammed James for calling out the roughly 250 black people killed by police every year while ignoring the “7,500 homicides to black people every single year.” Wiley said that the 7,500 number “never gets the discussion” it deserves “because the people with the [influential] platform[s] are not highlighting that.”

The backlash to James’ initial tweet was so severe that he deleted it less than two hours after posting it.

“ANGER does [sic] any of us any good and that includes myself!” James said. “Gathering all the facts and educating does though! My anger still is here for what happened to that lil girl. My sympathy for her family and may justice prevail!”

“I’m so damn tired of seeing Black people killed by police,” James continued. “I took the tweet down because it’s being used to create more hate -This isn’t about one officer. It’s about the entire system and they always use our words to create more racism. I am so desperate for more ACCOUNTABILITY.”

Former President Donald Trump unloaded on the NBA star in a statement about James before.

“LeBron James should focus on basketball rather than presiding over the destruction of the NBA, which has just recorded the lowest television RATINGS, by far, in the long and distinguished history of the League,” former President Donald Trump said in a statement. “His RACIST rants are divisive, nasty, insulting, and demeaning. He may be a great basketball player, but he is doing nothing to bring our Country together!”

A missile has been launched from within Syria that struck the southern region of Israel early Thursday morning, setting off a chain reaction of air raid sirens and air-defense systems.

The missile landed near the country’s top-secret nuclear reactor, the Dimona nuclear facility in the southern Israeli district of Abu Qrenat.

BREAKING: A surface-to-air missile was fired from Syria to Israel’s southern Negev.

In response, we struck the battery from which the missile was launched and additional surface-to-air batteries in Syria.

— Israel Defense Forces (@IDF) April 22, 2021

“Abu Qrenat is deeper within Israeli territory than the usual range of the rockets of Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip,” Reuters reported. “Israeli media have said for weeks that air defenses in the area of Dimona and the Red Sea port Eilat were being beefed up in anticipation of a possible long-range missile or drone attack by Iranian-backed forces – perhaps from as far away as Yemen.”

“In response, we struck the battery from which the missile was launched and additional surface-to-air batteries in Syria,” Israel Defense Forces (IDF) reported in regards to its response to the attack.

This latest incident marks the most serious violence between Israel and Syria in years which most likely points to Iranian involvement. Iran maintains a large number of troops and proxies in Syria. It has also accused Israel of sabotaging its Natanz nuclear facility on April 11th and vowed revenge. But the attack on Israel comes mostly from Biden’s radical left foriegn policies and aggressively pursuing Iran to re-enter the Obama administration’s nuclear deal, called the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).

The first report from FDD’s Biden Administration Foreign Policy Tracker said that the administration was trending “very negative” when it comes to Iran.

The report stated:

On the eve of indirect nuclear talks between the United States and Iran, the Biden administration reportedly collapsed on two major negotiating positions that date back to the 2020 presidential campaign – handing Iran strategic victories before talks even commenced. President Biden had vowed not to provide Iran with sanctions relief prior to Iran’s return to “strict compliance” with the 2015 nuclear deal, yet his administration reportedly offered Iran billions of dollars in sanctions relief in exchange for only modest nuclear concessions.

Additionally, while Secretary Blinken told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in January that it was not in the U.S. interest to lift terrorism sanctions on Iran – specifically terrorism sanctions imposed on the Central Bank of Iran (CBI) and the National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC) – the Biden administration is reportedly offering Iran sanctions relief for both the CBI and NIOC. The administration now claims that many sanctions imposed on Iranian entities for supporting terrorism are not “legitimate,” and that any terrorism, human rights, or missile sanctions deemed “inconsistent” with the nuclear deal will be lifted – a stunning change to the terms of the agreement, which the Obama administration claimed.

There are a few things that could ruin Easter and watching the robotic movements of President Biden really brings it to the top. Biden and First Lady Jill Biden released an Easter Video this last Easter over his many social media outlets. The president urged all Americans to get vaccinated against the virus, even going as far as calling it a “moral obligation.”

Biden goes to references God, Pope Francis, and even the New Testament but fails to mention the main point of celebrating Easter, Jesus.

“We share the sentiments of Pope Francis, who has said that getting vaccinated is a moral obligation, one that can save your life and the lives of others,” the President stated in his robotic tone “By getting vaccinated and encouraging your congregations and your communities to get vaccinated, we not only can beat this virus, we can also hasten the day when we can celebrate the holidays together.”

One of the president’s main points in his press release was that “the virus is not gone.” He then went on to note that many Americans continue to experience hardship due to the result of the pandemic.

“As we celebrate this most holy day, we know many are still going without familiar comforts of the season,” he said. “The virus is not gone, and so many of us still feel the longing and loneliness of distance. For a second year, most will be apart from their families, friends, the full congregations that fill us with joy.”

For a second year, most will be apart from their families, friends, the full congregations that fill us with joy.”

But the Bidens then went on to remind Americans that Easter presents hope for better times.

“And yet as the Gospel of John reminds us, the light shines in the darkness and the darkness has not overcome it,” the president said.

Mrs. Biden said: “The traditions of Holy Week take us on a journey from sorrow to salvation, reminding us that with faith, hope and love, anything is possible.”

“One of the great legends in the golden age of burlesque” passed on in their Las Vegas apartment earlier this week. Tempest Storm, who starred in early Russ Meyer films, was well known as being a fiery redhead and an icon in the burlesque community. She was 93 at the time of her death.

Storm had been in an ongoing war with dementia that lasted for the last few months. She was under round-the-clock care until her death after complications with a hip surgery on April 8th that had left her health in dire straits.

“Tempest was easily one of the best-known and highest-regarded burlesque [performers] of all time, and was an active part of the burlesque community right to the end,” Burlesque Hall of Fame executive director Dustin Wax said. “She will be missed terribly in the burlesque community and well beyond it.”

“She was the last of the great legends in the golden age of burlesque,” added her longtime friend and business partner Harvey Robbins. “She was perhaps the biggest of all.”

Born Annie Blanche Banks in 1928, Storm left home in the seventh grade and moved to Hollywood at the ripe age of 15 to pursue a career. Working as a waitress, a customer suggested she’d make money as a striptease performer. She got an audition with Follies Theater by 1951 and had to choose a stage name — either Sunny Day or Tempest Storm.

“Well, I said, I guess it might as well be Tempest Storm,” she said.

Storm took the burlesque world by storm and by 1956 was the highest-paid performer ever with a 10-year contract at $100,000 at the Bryan-Engels burlesque production company.

She eventually took on the film world, scoring a role alongside Bettie Page in Irving Klaw’s 1955 film, “Teaserama.”

Storm also revealed that she dated Elvis Presley and former President John F. Kennedy.

“Elvis the Pelvis,” she told a local news outlet in 2013. “It was 1956. I was appearing at The Dunes Hotel in Las Vegas, which is now the Bellagio. We had a burlesque review and he came to see the show. He came over and sat down — he had the most beautiful eyes — and we got into a relationship and it was absolutely fantastic. He was a real Southern gentleman. Very polite.”

As for JFK, their alleged fling started before he became president.

“I met him in 1957 when he was a senator,” she said. “It was a great relationship. He was a great man in his politics and everything. I hadn’t seen him for years, and the last time I saw him, I said, ‘You’re going to be president,’ and he said, ‘I hope you’re right!’ “

Senator Ted Cruz on Friday responded to Democrats’ remarks on the House floor defending Washington, D.C. statehood, including Representative Mondaire Jones calling Republican arguments “racist trash.”

During an interview with Fox News Channel’s “The Faulkner Focus”, Cruz said that the “race card” is the “only card” Dems have in their deck then called Democrats’ intentions into question. For example, why were they pushing for more power instead of focusing on getting us out of this neverending pandemic.

“Unfortunately, that is now the go-to attack for Democrats. They accuse anyone who disagrees with them on any issue of being a racist. And they use language that is just incendiary, it’s inflammatory, and they’re deliberately playing on racial divisions in our country,” said Cruz.

“They do it on issue after issue after issue,” he continued. “You know, people talk about playing the race card — it is the only card they have in their deck, and so that’s their standard attack. And D.C. statehood, their push here is part of a broader effort. We have Democratic control of the White House and both houses of Congress, and their number one priority — it’s not COVID, it’s not vaccinations, it’s not reopening jobs, it’s not getting kids back in school, it’s not doing anything substantive — their number one priority is they want to stay in power forever.”

“So, you look at what they are pushing. They are pushing D.C. statehood. Why? Because they want two new Democratic senators. They are pushing H.R. 1, what many are calling the corrupt politicians act because they want to federalize elections. They want to register millions of illegal aliens and felons to vote and keep Democrats in power for the next 100 years. And they want to pack the U.S. Supreme Court and add four new left-wing justices because they want to change the rules and maintain power.”

Cruz added, “That’s their priority, and it is not what they should be doing.”

Even after the recent victory for many, Black Lives Matter radical activists boiled over in anger after Derek Chauvin was convicted of all charges, manslaughter, and murder, in the death of George Floyd last May.

The jury returned with the verdict after only taking less than a day of deliberations. After the verdict was announced the streets of Minneapolis filled with protestors and activists still pushing to “burn the entire system down.”

“Yes, we can defund the police,” one BLM supporter shouted. “And maybe one day we will abolish the police, but we ain’t gonna do s**t unless we have control over them. That is the number one thing right now. … We’re not gonna let these pigs in these buildings have any more control over our lives today. That sh*t ends today.”

More BLM supporters called out for people to attack “the system” from “every single f***ing angle” and to “go way beyond voting at this point.”

“We need to go way beyond voting at this point,” the BLM supporter said. “We need to be coming out here every single day if that’s what it takes until we get justice for the people that they murdered a week ago that they’ve already forgotten about. … The only reason once again, that we got this conviction, is because we showed up. And if we don’t keep showing up, and if we don’t change laws, and we don’t attack this system, from every single f***ing angle we can, we will be here again.”

“We’re not, we’re never gonna be satisfied,” the BLM supporter said. “Black Lives Matter isn’t a trend. It’s a movement. Black Lives Matter forever, okay? So, we’re not gonna stop just because we’ve got one conviction. We’re happy with the conviction, but we’re gonna keep going. … This is a black genocide. This is more than one case. We’re not satisfied.”

Another BLM supporter said that it was “epic” that the Minneapolis Police Department precinct that Chauvin was based out of “burned to the ground.”

“Derrick Chauvin’s Police Department burned to the ground. So we have to remember, those people are still facing challenges for arson. We have to remember that we just set us up a map once again because that was epic!”

BLM CHANTS: “BURN IT DOWN”

I think BLM’s intentions are clear from this video out of Minneapolis.

These images show what America will become if fear of violence continues to prevent stopping these criminals before they can commit any more violent crimes. Because their intentions of “not stopping” and “burning everything down” are as clear as day.

A topless woman was seen on the streets of Windsor, England causing complete mayhem during Prince Phillip’s funeral. She was reportedly arrested for her streak through the procession. The woman allegedly jumped and rode on a statue of Queen Victoria outside of Windsor Castle, where the Duke of Edinburgh’s funeral took place on Saturday.

Officers can be seen removing the woman, who has not been identified at this time. She was shouting “save the Planet” just after the minute’s silence for the Duke of Edinburgh while exposing her breasts without wearing a shirt.

There have been no new updates or information about this story. It is unclear if the woman has been charged. The Thames Valley Police has not made any statements or been reached at this time.

Prince Phillip passed on April 9 at the age of 99. The royal funeral took place at St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle.

Phillips’ funeral was attended by his and the queen’s four children — Prince Charles, Princess Anne, Prince Andrew, and Prince Edward — as well as Charles’s wife Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall; Anne’s husband Timothy Laurence and Edward’s wife Sophie, Countess of Wessex.

Philip’s grandchildren — which include Peter Phillips, Zara Tindall, Prince William, Prince Harry, Princess Beatrice, Princess Eugenie, Lady Louise and James, Viscount Severn — also were in attendance.

Meanwhile, Prince William’s wife, Kate Middleton, Zara Tindall’s husband, Mike Tindall, Princess Eugenie’s husband, Jack Brooksbank, and Princess Beatrice’s husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, will also join their royal spouses at the family event.

During the service, Queen Elizabeth II sat alone in St. George’s Chapel during the funeral.

A scary viral video that was put on Twitter captured a rabid bobcat attacking a woman in her own driveway in Burgaw, North Carolina.

Kristi and Happy Wade said they were preparing to take their cat, Caroline, to the veterinarian at 7:20 a.m. April 9.

The video that was shared earlier this week showed the two preparing to leave their home and get inside their SUB in their driveway before the deadly feline darted into view.

This was a wild 46 seconds pic.twitter.com/jIHQg0G4qU

“I heard a horrible growl, and I thought, that’s a very unhappy sounding kitty cat,” Kristi said. “The bobcat showed its face, went around the front fender of the car that was next to me, and I knew immediately what it was, I knew it was a bobcat, so I took off running and it followed me.”

The woman’s screams can be heard in the video as the wild animal claws gripped into Krist Wade’s back. The cat can be seen attempting to climb up her back to most likely bite into her neck. Happy was able to step in and save his wife’s life before any of that could happen. He pulled the bobcat off of her body and ran across his yard, holding the writhing animal in his outstretched arms.

“Oh my god, it’s a bobcat! Oh my god!” he screams, tossing the animal several feet across his lawn. Happy was able to grab his handgun before the 46-second video ended. He eventually shot the bobcat once before law enforcement arrived and killed the feral feline. The bobcat “tested positive for rabies” after local law enforcement sent bloodwork to a state lab in Raleigh.

Kristi Wade had over 20 puncture wounds and was bitten by the deadly feline three times. Both she and Happy have since undergone intensive treatment for rabies which caused each of them to receive more than 30 shots each.

“Some people have criticized me because I threw the cat. Well, it’s not a nice kitty, it’s got rabies, it’s out of its mind, it’s in a lot of pain,” Happy said. “My wife and I love animals, and I didn’t take it lightly that I was shooting this bobcat. To be honest with you, I also wanted to make sure we got the medical care we needed. To do that you have to put the animal down.”

Kristi said that she was grateful for her husband’s actions and how he saved her life from the feline.

“One person asked me, ‘Did it surprise you the way your husband acted?’ and I said, ‘no, it did not,’” Kristi said. “He’s always been my hero. I’ve always known how much he loves me, and he would do anything to protect me.”

“We just want people to understand this was a freak incident,” Kristi said. “We want people to make sure they get their animals vaccinated and that they realize this was not meant to be cruel in any way. How would you react if a wild rabid bobcat attacked you in your driveway? We had to think fast.”
