After destroying the country with millions of illegal aliens from around the world‚ Biden’s administration will now seek to limit illegal immigration with executive actions. This is in time for the election so he can win again and give them all amnesty for Democrat one-party rule. It won’t be a country worth ruling. NBC News […] The post Biden to the Rescue!

Massachusetts Democratic Governor Maura Healey tapped a woman she was romantically involved with for multiple years to serve on the state’s Supreme Judicial Court. On Wednesday‚ Healey officially nominated Massachusetts Appeals Court Associate Justice Gabrielle Wolohojian‚ who has served on the appeals court since 2008‚ CBS News reported. The two had previously shared a home and first went public with their relationship in 2013 when Healey ran for attorney general. “There is no one more qualified or more well-prepared to join the SJC than Justice Wolohojian. I’m proud of that nomination‚ and I’m proud of nominating someone who is so deserving and so qualified. It is what the commonwealth deserves‚” Healey said in a press conference‚ according to Fox News. Healey defended her pick‚ saying that her former partner was unanimously recommended by the five-member Judicial Nominating Commission. “Of course‚ I had a personal relationship with Judge Wolohojian for many years‚ so I happen to also know something about her character and her integrity and the kind of person she is‚” Healey added. “I don’t want the fact that she had a personal relationship with me to deprive the Commonwealth of a person who’s most qualified for the position.” In 2015‚ Boston Magazine reported that Healey and Wolohojian had been together for eight years after meeting at the law firm Hale &; Dorr where they had both worked at one time. Healey and Wolohojian then moved in together‚ living in a rowhouse in Boston’s Charlestown neighborhood. Healey‚ who became the first open lesbian to be elected governor in the U.S. in 2022‚ now lives with her partner Joanna Lydgate‚ Boston.com reported. Wolohojian’s nomination was slammed by the chair of the Massachusetts Republican Party‚ who said it is “highly inappropriate.” “It is highly inappropriate for the governor to nominate to Massachusetts’ highest court an individual with whom she had a long-term romantic relationship in the past‚” Massachusetts GOP chair Amy Carnevale said. “This nomination clearly demonstrates a lack of accountability inherent in one-party rule.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Wolohojian must now be approved by the Governor’s Council‚ an eight-member board that will hold a confirmation hearing on February 21.

Multiple men who identify as women took the floor in a women’s college volleyball game in Ontario‚ Canada‚ last month‚ according to reporting from conservative outlet Rebel News. Rebel News reporter David Menzies attended a game between the Seneca Sting and Centennial Colts and recorded some of the competition‚ saying that between the two teams‚ he witnessed five trans-identifying men take the floor. Three trans-identifying players on Seneca and two on Centennial were on the court for the entire game‚ and Seneca ended up taking the victory‚ Rebel News reported. Multiple other outlets‚ including The New York Post‚ Fox News‚ and The Blaze‚ also reported on the Canadian volleyball match dominated by men who identify as women. Menzies said he attended the volleyball game after getting a tip from a female volleyball “insider” who was concerned that “the situation is so dire that it is no longer safe for biological women to compete.” Rebel News reported that the source alleged that there had been two recent head injuries to female players caused by trans-identifying men competing in the Ontario Colleges Athletic Association (OCAA)‚ the league that includes Seneca and Centennial. TRANS TAKEOVER: Five 'trans women' dominate female volleyball game We went to a college female varsity volleyball game… and a 'sausage-fest' broke out! FIVE men‚ pretending to be women‚ were on the court. Why? Just when you thought transanity couldn’t get any worse… Last… pic.twitter.com/6fLwAN0FkZ — Rebel News (@RebelNewsOnline) January 30‚ 2024 Last week‚ the OCAA published a fact sheet that included answering questions on trans-identifying athletes‚ saying that it “is aware that participation of transgender student-athletes has recently received public attention.” The fact sheet directs readers to the OCAA’s transgender policy‚ which states: “Student-athletes may compete on the sport team that corresponds with either their sex assigned at birth or their gender identity‚ provided that at all times student-athletes are in compliance with the Canadian Anti-Doping Program.” The OCAA fact sheet added‚ “Any policies that would prohibit the participation of transgender student-athletes within the OCAA would be a violation of the Ontario Human Rights Code.” Throughout Rebel News’ attempt to report on the volleyball game‚ Menzies said he and his crew were confronted by facility staff and security guards who said he could stay and watch but couldn’t record the event. After the game‚ the reporter asked Centennial coach Andrew Mallory why he allowed male players to compete on his team. Mallory responded‚ “I’m not.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Seneca‚ the team that reportedly has three trans-identifying players‚ currently leads the standings in the OCAA’s East division with a 17-1 record. The Ontario collegiate volleyball game is the latest in a string of stories about trans-identifying men dominating women’s sports just in the past few weeks. Last month‚ Hailey Davidson‚ a man who identifies as a woman‚ placed first in the NXXT women’s golf tournament in Florida‚ inching himself closer to an LPGA qualifying tour. Trans-identifying track athlete Sadie Schreiner also made headlines last month after setting two new records for the Rochester Institute of Technology. Schreiner also received the Liberty League Women’s Track &; Field Performer of the Week award.

Life for conservatives can often feel like an endless series of setbacks. As the Left continues to wage war on reality and convert more people into their cult of insanity‚ it often feels like we’re fighting an unwinnable war. But if you pay attention‚ there are often victories on the battlefield that should encourage us all to keep fighting the good fight. Today’s moment of justice has to do with a California-based professor who was just cleared to return to work after committing the cardinal sin of handing out chocolate bars. Professor David Richardson‚ a man of substance and excellent taste‚ was suspended from Madera Community College in May 2023 after he laid out a table of snacks for students which included a selection of Jeremy’s Chocolate. Though many of his students didn’t recognize this act of heroism for what it was‚ one disgruntled colleague – who identifies as transgender – was predictably offended and reported Richardson’s actions to the administration.  Considering this happened in California‚ and considering the political leanings of almost every institution of higher learning in the country‚ it would be logical to assume that Richardson‚ who taught at the college for 30 years‚ would lose his job over this. But just when all hope was lost‚ a light shined through. The chocolate-loving prof is back‚ baby. “I am happy and grateful to be back for all the faculty‚ staff and students who supported me while I was in exile. I wouldn’t have made it without them. But there is a new normal. I know there were a lot of people on the other side who wanted nothing more than to see me never come back‚” Richardson said of his return‚ per The College Fix. Richardson‚ who is both gay and conservative‚ was drawn not just to the deliciousness of Jeremy’s Chocolate‚ but also the way these delectable candy bars aren’t afraid to declare the truth. Like humans‚ the candy is available in two varieties: He/Him and She/Her‚ one with nuts and one without. They were made in response to a Hershey’s featuring a man as one of the faces of its “SHE” bar on the first day of Women’s History Month. GET YOUR JEREMY’S CHOCOLATE HERE The professor’s colleague claimed the chocolate brand’s messaging is “transphobic.” That staffer made no mention of how the candy quickly became the most popular item on the snack table once students realized what it was.  Ultimately‚ Richardson was “fully exonerated” after an investigation following the Title IX complaint filed against him. Madera Community College spokesman Cory Burkarth declined to comment on the matter‚ saying the institution didn’t comment on personnel decisions. This incident proves that not everyone who stands up to leftists gets defeated‚ even in a completely indoctrinated field such as academia.  Truth-tellers would be wise to send the message to more people with the miniature micro-aggression size Jeremy’s Chocolate bars. They’re ideal for handing out to “they/them” at parties‚ for the holidays‚ or yes‚ even in a classroom setting. Because the trans activists can complain‚ they can tattle‚ they can scream‚ but they can’t deny that chocolate tastes better when it’s rooted in truth. One has nuts. One doesn’t. Any questions‚ class? 

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) did not hold back when he was confronted over his support for Israel by far-Left Code Pink protesters on Wednesday. Hawley told the protesters that they were “pro-terrorist” and‚ if they had it their way‚ would usher in a “second Holocaust.” “Don’t give us your talking points‚” one female protester yelled at Hawley‚ video from Fox News shows. “Bulls***‚ you are unbelievable.” “The state of Israel has the right to defend itself‚” the senator responded. The same protester told Hawley that what Israel is doing is “not defense” and demanded a “cease-fire.” Code Pink’s website calls for a “Ceasefire in Gaza…to end Israel’s ongoing genocide.” Hamas terrorists on October 7 carried out brutal attacks in Israel‚ killing about 1‚200 people. The terrorist group also took hundreds of hostages back to Gaza. Reports earlier this week indicated that more than a fifth of the nearly 140 hostages remaining in Gaza are dead. Hawley told a protester that he would not call for a cease-fire “until Hamas is eliminated.” “Hamas will never be eliminated‚” she responded. The senator suggested the protester was “anti-Semitic‚” adding‚ “If you guys had your way‚ there’d be a second Holocaust‚ that’s what you want. Pro-terrorist.” Hawley posted the confrontation to X and captioned the video‚ “Here’s my message to anyone saying Israel doesn’t have a right to defend itself: you are pro-terrorist.” Here’s my message to anyone saying Israel doesn’t have a right to defend itself: you are pro-terrorist pic.twitter.com/jpgRd3nF2a — Josh Hawley (@HawleyMO) February 7‚ 2024 Following the October 7 terror attacks‚ elite college campuses erupted with support for Hamas and blame for Israel. Notably‚ a joint statement from dozens of groups of Harvard University students blamed Israel for the violence and atrocities committed by Hamas. “We‚ the undersigned student organizations‚ hold the Israeli regime entirely responsible for all unfolding violence‚” the Harvard Palestine Solidarity Groups on the Situation in Palestine wrote. “Today’s events did not occur in a vacuum. … The apartheid regime is the only one to blame.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP In response‚ Hawley suggested the Department of Justice investigate who’s funding such protests‚ The Daily Wire reported. “What I want to know is who’s funding these student groups‚” Hawley said. “I hope the DOJ is investigating where the money is coming from. Are there terror groups who are part of these networks who are infiltrating our campuses? This is crazy stuff that we’re seeing on these campuses‚ and for these administrators to have their hand out and take federal money‚ taxpayer money‚ and (on) the same dime be silent or silently condone this kind of terrorism‚ it is just grotesque.” Hank Berrien contributed to this report.

  In a recent display at the White House‚ First Lady Dr. Jill Biden was seen taking charge during a reception celebrating Black History Month. The event‚ which took place in the East Room‚ showcased the Bidens hosting an evening dedicated to recognizing the contributions and history of African Americans. The reception‚ held on a Tuesday evening‚ was meant to be a momentous occasion. However‚ it was not the celebration itself that caught the public’s attention but rather a moment between the President and the First Lady. After delivering brief remarks‚ President Joe Biden appeared to need guidance from Dr. Jill Biden on where to exit the stage. "Go Out This Way" – Dr. Jill Bosses Joe Biden Around at a Reception Celebrating Black History Month (VIDEO) https://t.co/fBGJbHF6X6 — Ben Owen (@hrkbenowen) February 7‚ 2024 Dr. Jill Biden’s intervention was audible and visible to attendees and the press. “Thank you so much!” she exclaimed before instructing the President‚ “Go out this way‚” directing him offstage. This moment has sparked conversations about the dynamic between the President and the First Lady‚ with some suggesting that Dr. Jill Biden’s role often extends beyond traditional expectations. Critics have pointed to this incident as indicative of President Biden’s occasional lapses in public appearances. Previously‚ upon his return from a trip to Las Vegas‚ the President’s stiffened gait and shuffling walk raised eyebrows among observers. His physical demeanor prompted concerns about his well-being‚ especially given the demanding nature of his office. Seriously fake Doctor Jill Biden is truly a monster. Put this mumbling senile dirty old man in a nursing home already! Our enemies are laughing at us! pic.twitter.com/Iwcg9vSu7i — Vince Langman (@LangmanVince) February 6‚ 2024 The optics of the First Lady directing the President could be interpreted in various ways. Supporters might see it as a sign of teamwork and mutual support within their relationship. On the other hand‚ detractors may view it as evidence of the President’s reliance on his wife for basic directions‚ fueling ongoing discussions about his fitness for the presidency. Amidst these observations‚ the President’s handling of questions—or rather‚ the lack thereof—has also been a point of contention. Following his remarks at the Black History Month event‚ President Biden did not take questions from the press‚ instead shuffling back inside the White House. This has become a pattern for the President‚ who often avoids engaging with the media after public events. The reception‚ while intended to honor Black History Month‚ has inadvertently turned into a platform for scrutinizing presidential conduct. The First Lady’s assertive direction and the President’s subsequent actions have provided fodder for those questioning the administration’s transparency and the President’s capacity to fulfill his duties without assistance. As the nation continues to navigate complex social and political landscapes‚ the leadership at the helm remains under close watch. Events like the Black History Month reception are not just ceremonial but serve as a lens through which the public gauges the strength and stability of the presidency.   The post Dr. Jill Takes Charge: Directing President Biden at Black History Month Event appeared first on The Conservative Brief.
