Some Democrats are publicly criticizing President Joe Biden too much as the 2024 general election nears‚ according to Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA). The first-term senator joined MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski on Thursday to discuss the upcoming election and Biden’s standing in the pivotal swing state of Pennsylvania. After predicting a “difficult” 2024 race for the president‚ Fetterman said he’s baffled by the actions of some of his fellow Democrats. “All kinds of Democrats [are] criticizing the president too publicly. I don’t understand why‚” the senator said. “I don’t know what it’s in it for you to do that‚ whether you’re just chasing clout or you want to make it in the news or anything like that. But‚ if you’re not willing to just support the president now and say these kinds of things‚ you might as well just get your MAGA hat‚ because you now are helping Trump at this.” "If you're not willing to just support the president now‚ you might as well just get your MAGA hat because you're helping Trump." — @JohnFetterman on his election message to Dems in his swing state‚ PAhttps://t.co/q9K6i5RfhI pic.twitter.com/BgXAsugzZF — Morning Joe (@Morning_Joe) February 22‚ 2024 Some Democratic strategists and lawmakers have voiced concerns about the 81-year-old Biden’s re-election campaign‚ most notably Rep. Dean Phillips (D-MN)‚ who jumped into the presidential race to challenge Biden last October. Biden has also faced criticism from far-Left anti-Israel Reps. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) and Ilhan Omar (D-MN) over his response to the war between Israel and Hamas‚ with Tlaib even encouraging voters in her district to vote against Biden in the primary. Late last year‚ Fetterman responded to criticisms of Biden made by Democratic strategist James Carville‚ who said earlier in December that Biden was on track to lose to former President Donald Trump. “I’ll use this [as] another opportunity to tell James Carville to shut the f*** up‚” Fetterman told POLITICO. “Like I said‚ my man hasn’t been relevant since grunge was a thing. And I don’t know why he believes it’s helpful to say these kinds of things about an incredibly difficult circumstance with an incredibly strong and decent and excellent president. I’ll never understand that.” Fetterman has recently been praised by some on the Right for standing up for Israel and speaking out about the illegal immigration crisis. While the senator has suggested that the migrant influx is threatening “the American dream‚” he remains loyal to Biden‚ whose administration has overseen a record number of border encounters. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP “I believe there’s only one person that can beat Trump‚ and that’s Joe Biden‚” Fetterman said at another point of his interview with “Morning Joe.” “Because right now he’s the only person in America that actually has beaten Trump.”

Whoopi Goldberg laughed off the most recent report on President Joe Biden’s bite-happy German Shepherd‚ Commander‚ which the Secret Service has now cited in at least 24 separate instances involving bites. Goldberg struggled to even read through the entire report without laughing about it and then immediately joked that perhaps the dog was reacting to something that people were unable to see. WATCH: The View laughed about Biden's untrained dog attacking 24 people and suggested it was in the right.Whoopi: "Well‚ it makes you wonder. What did he see that nobody else saw?…He's like‚ I know you got something in your pocket!..Let me check!" pic.twitter.com/A0aRsz5CQE — Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) February 22‚ 2024 “A Secret Service report was just released … about a Biden family member …” Goldberg began‚ clearly struggling not to laugh as she added‚ “… who’s caused a lot of controversy at the White House: their dog. His name is Commander. The report found that there were at least 24 incidents of him biting folks.” “Well‚ it makes you wonder. What did he see that nobody else saw?” Goldberg continued‚ putting a photo of the dog on the screen behind the table. The audience responded to the photo‚ prompting co-host Sara Haines to say‚ “You must have missed the 24-bite part of this story when you ‘awwwww.'” “He’s like‚ ‘I know you got something in your pocket! I don’t know what it is‚ you can say it’s your hand‚'” Goldberg continued in mocking tones. “‘Let me check!’ And he checked‚ and it was the guy’s hand.” Co-host Joy Behar continued with the joke‚ asking whether it would be possible for Republicans to find a way to blame Commander’s behavior on Hunter Biden. Haines cut in again‚ noting that often one bite incident was enough to force owners to have a dog put down. “How does it last 24 bites? Cause you have a lot of one-bite rules in states.” WATCH: Whoopi and Sunny say the dog's look and name are all anyone needs to know to be careful around it.WHOOPI: All you have to do is look at him.SUNNY: Listen to his name‚ Commander.WHOOPI: Imma bite your ass!WHOOPI: If I was Biden…I'd have a dog that wasn't playing too. pic.twitter.com/Uw3pfp9twq — Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) February 22‚ 2024 Goldberg pivoted back to the photo of Commander‚ saying that he clearly looked like he was in charge and his appearance should be enough to make sure people backed off. Co-host Sunny Hostin agreed‚ saying‚ “Listen to his name‚ Commander.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP They then went through the list of former presidents and their dogs‚ after which Goldberg said that in today’s political climate‚ “If I was President Biden in the world that we’re living in‚ I’d have a dog that wasn’t playing too.”

In the cacophonous arena of political discourse‚ it’s not uncommon to witness the clash of ideologically opposed personalities. A recent skirmish involving Meghan McCain‚ a figure with strong Republican ties albeit with a streak of independence‚ has captured the attention of conservative circles. McCain‚ while often echoing a mainstream conservativism‚ diverges at times‚ particularly with the more populist factions within the party. The subject of McCain’s latest critique‚ Kari Lake‚ is a name gaining momentum among the conservative grassroots. Known for her unapologetic stances and fervent support of policies aligning with traditional conservative principles‚ Lake has become a touchstone for discussions on the future direction of the party. Her no-nonsense rhetoric appeals to a base seeking assertiveness and directness in their representatives. BREAKING: Meghan McCain humiliates MAGA Arizona Senate candidate Kari Lake with a truly brutal public rejection after Lake tries to offer her a pathetic olive branch to end their deeply bitter feud. John McCain's daughter took the gloves off this time… "NO PEACE‚ BITCH!"… pic.twitter.com/TrKheY45yD — Occupy Democrats (@OccupyDemocrats) February 21‚ 2024 McCain’s challenge to Lake‚ however‚ illuminates the growing divide within conservative ranks‚ between establishment figures and the ascending populist wing. This fissure is symptomatic of a larger debate about conservativism’s core values and the methodology of enacting its corresponding political agenda. McCain represents a more measured‚ perhaps pragmatic‚ side of the party‚ concerned with maintaining a coalition while paying homage to long-standing conservative doctrines. Conversely‚ Lake embodies the insurgent spirit that’s been on the rise since the latter half of the last decade. Her brand of politics resonates with those who feel alienated by what they perceive as a drift toward the center on the part of the GOP establishment. McCain’s critique could therefore be seen as less about Lake personally‚ and more indicative of a wider ideological battle for the heart of the Republican Party. Meghan McCain has more vitriol for Kari Lake than she does Biden. She has more vitriol against America First conservatives than she does for liberals. This is why they are called RINOs‚ they will inevitably show their true colours once things get a little testy pic.twitter.com/EwHHgBv7KW — Red Dragoon (@The_Red_Dragoon) February 22‚ 2024 Notwithstanding the personalities involved‚ this conflict is reflective of a broader conversation around civility and the perceived effectiveness of different political strategies. While some argue that a strong‚ even confrontational approach is necessary to achieve policy goals‚ others worry that such tactics may alienate potential allies and moderates whose support is crucial in closely contested elections. This internal skirmish also points to the potential challenges the party faces as it positions itself for future elections. With a base pulling further towards the poles‚ the party risks creating a void in the center – a space that could be capitalized on by political adversaries. Thus‚ the intraparty dynamics at play are not just about the here and now‚ but also carry significant implications for the electoral landscape. The upshot of these intraparty critiques‚ particularly those coming from voices like McCain’s‚ is the impact on public perception and party unity. Differences within a party are not inherently detrimental‚ as dissent can lead to refinement and strengthening of policies and principles. However‚ in the age of instantaneous communication‚ harsh words and public spats might give fodder to opposition forces and media outlets eager to amplify discord. While such episodes of contention are not unheard of in the annals of political parties‚ the conservative movement’s current situation presents an opportunity to reconcile competing visions and redefine itself in a manner that is both true to its principles and adaptive to the shifting American political landscape.   The post Meghan McCain’s Forceful Rebuke of Kari Lake’s Politics Highlights Deepening Political Rifts appeared first on The Conservative Brief.

At this point‚ it seems as though there’s nothing the iconic Dolly Parton hasn’t done — just last night‚ she added “be a Pet Gala host” to her list! It wasn’t long ago that the country singer first announced this special event featuring her famous friends‚ music‚ and lots of adorable pups. As if that doesn’t sound amazing enough‚ there was even a dog fashion show! To kick off the event‚ Parton sang a particularly fitting song of hers: Puppy Love. Parton has lots and lots of songs‚ but this one holds a special place in her heart like no other. That’s because it’s the very first single that she recorded — and she was only 13 years old when she did! Parton would go on to include it in her very first album. It’s also the first song of hers she heard on the radio. .@dollyparton kicked off #DollysPetGala with her newest version of “Puppy Love” pic.twitter.com/8AWuozfnd1— Doggy Parton (@DoggyParton) February 22‚ 2024 “I remember the first time I heard myself on the radio‚” she shares in her 2020 book‚ Songteller. “I about killed myself — I was sitting up on the counter‚ and the radio was on — I jumped off the counter and slid and fell trying to get to the radio to turn it up.” Dolly Parton Kicks Off Pet Gala With Puppy Love The song is about young love‚ but it also made for a fitting opener to the Pet Gala. Parton donned a bright red outfit featuring dog paws‚ only adding to the already pawsome start to the show. Fans at home immediately took to social media to rave over the iconic performance. YouTube Then‚ soon after‚ Parton delighted fans even more with a surprise. Turns out‚ she recently re-recorded Puppy Love‚ and it’s available to stream right now! This latest release is called Puppy Love (Billy Version)‚ which is fittingly in honor of her French bulldog with the same name.

This scene might give you nightmares if you remember The Neverending Story. A 1‚200-pound white horse became trapped in a Los Angeles sinkhole. Like Artax‚ the horse Lucky was stuck in mud up to her neck and sinking. This story does have a happy ending‚ as you can see below‚ as the owners offer her carrots. Image from X (Twitter). Lucky is a 20-year-old white Paso Fino horse. The breed is an exceptional trail-riding horse and is very popular for pleasure riding. They also make great show horses with a specific gait‚ smaller frame‚ and delicate features. Maria Lastre‚ Lucky’s owner‚ was riding her in the backyard of their San Fernando Valley home. Maria’s husband‚ Juan Lastre‚ thought the horse had just tripped but quickly realized she was sinking in mud. Maria was able to scramble to safety‚ but Lucky just kept sinking. After briefly attempting to free the horse from the sinkhole‚ the Lastre’s called for assistance. Image from X (Twitter). The rescue party included more than 60 LAFD firefighters‚ Animal Services personnel‚ and the “Specialized Mobile Animal Rescue Team” (SMART). SMART is familiar with this type of large animal rescue operation. The Sanitation Department was on the scene with heavy equipment. The entire rescue was documented on X (Twitter) by LAFD Public Information Officer (PIO) Erik Scott. PIO Scott posted several videos during and after the rescue. #LakeviewTerrace horse rescue. Your @LAFD #Firefighters will remove this beautiful 1200 pound horse &; help her live up to her name‚ “Lucky“. pic.twitter.com/NW6YtahfFd— Erik Scott (@PIOErikScott) February 21‚ 2024 Workers used hand shovels to remove as much mud as possible around Lucky. An excavator was necessary to move dirt and mud to create a trench. That allowed personnel to help the horse and to keep the sinkhole from refilling. A Happy Ending For Lucky The Horse After Rescue From A Sinkhole Rescuers attempted to help the horse out of the sinkhole with manpower alone. Later‚ they attached harnesses and used the hydraulic arm of the excavator to lift the horse out of the sinkhole. Lucky is free! pic.twitter.com/eFCNlgzGIx— Erik Scott (@PIOErikScott) February 21‚ 2024 After rescuing the horse from the sinkhole‚ Lucky got food and a bath. She was eating well. Animal services personnel checked her for injuries. Fortunately‚ she appeared unharmed after the traumatic experience. The entire rescue operation took around three hours. Lucky and her owners are grateful to all the dedicated rescuers who assisted. You can find the source of this story’s featured image here and here.
