Psaki: Biden Administration 'absolutely committed' to allowing reporters into border facilities

White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Sunday that reporters would soon be granted access to Border Patrol facilities sheltering unaccompanied minors.

Psaki's comment came in response to questions from Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday over the administration's lack of transparency around the facilities, which are required, by law, to transfer children to HHS shelters in under 72 hours. In recent weeks, as the number of unaccompanied minors in Border Protection and Health and Human Services custody has swelled to more than 18,000, some children have been held in the processing centers for as long as ten days.

Psaki said that the Biden administration was "absolutely committed" to allowing reporters and cameras into the facilities. "We want to provide access into the Border Patrol facilities. We are mindful that we are in the middle of the pandemic, we want to keep the kids safe, we want to keep the staff safe."

Wallace accused the White House of being "less transparent than the Trump administration" regarding media access at the facilities, to which Psaki responded that the administration is "committed to allowing cameras into Border Patrol facilities."

However, Senator Mike Braun (R., Ind.) on Saturday said a Biden official asked a group of Republican senators who visited the southern border to delete photos they had taken of the overcrowded conditions at a migrant processing and holding center they toured one day earlier in Donna, Texas.

Comment: A great interview with President Trump on the border issue:


Ted Cruz has been perusing the situation at the US/Mexican border. What he found at the detention center was shocking:
An official tried to block Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) from recording after he turned up at a Customs and Border Protection detention center to film the inhumane conditions of migrants under the Biden administration.

Cruz published a video on Sunday showing the facility in Donna, Texas packed with migrants wrapped in foil blankets with no social distancing, despite the dangers of the Covid-19 pandemic, as an unnamed woman frantically attempted to get Cruz to stop recording.


In his caption to the video, Cruz accused the woman of being "a political operative from DC" sent by President Joe Biden to stop Americans from seeing the conditions of the facility.

Some people attempted to turn the criticism on Cruz, however:
Russell Foster, a Texas congressional candidate for Biden's Democratic Party, accused the senator of hypocrisy for not scrutinizing immigration facilities in the same manner during former President Donald Trump's administration, and blamed current immigration problems on previous "RACIST GOP administrations."

The Biden administration has struggled to deal with a surge in illegal immigrants crossing the border, placing them in packed temporary overflow facilities and banning members of the press from documenting conditions.

Shocking photos from inside the Donna facility went viral earlier this month, and journalists, media groups, and human rights organizations have called on Biden to lift his ban on visitors - criticizing his administration's lack of commitment to transparency.

Biden regularly consults with Barack Obama on a 'range of issues,' Psaki says

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki on Monday said that President Biden maintains "regular" communication with Barack Obama on a number of issues.

Psaki was asked by a reporter whether Obama had visited the White House and how often the two speak, to which she responded that Obama and Biden have a relationship that is not defined as president and vice president - instead, they are "friends."
"They consult and talk about a range of issues and I would expect that continues through the course of President Biden's presidency. That can be done over the phone it turns out, and I think if President Obama had been here, you would all know."
Psaki declined to give an exact number of times that the powerful pair had spoken, but said they "keep in regular touch" and their respective teams also were in regular touch "about a range of issues."

Comment: Others consider what they observe. Such is revealed in the Maria Bartiromo interview with two sources:
Charlie Kirk and Christian Walker joined Maria Bartiromo on Sunday Morning Futures to discuss the increasing radicalism of the Biden administration. During the conversation Bartiromo mentioned something she's heard from her sources: "I know Biden's on the phone all the time with Obama and I'm hearing he's running things from behind the scenes."


Of course, this is what we all suspected.
Joe Biden is no condition to order his own meal let alone run the United States.

By trying to talk tough on China, Biden's White House is pushing Beijing into an alliance with Moscow, top Russian senator claims

US diplomats are struggling to contain and control an "increasingly powerful" China, one of Moscow's top politicians has said, warning that Washington's oppositional stance will fall flat with the world's most populous country.

Alexey Pushkov, an influential member of the Russian Senate and former head of the parliamentary Foreign Affairs Committee, slammed the recent approach championed by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken in a tweet on Sunday.

According to Pushkov, Washington's top envoy
"will not scare Beijing by stating his intention to address relations with China 'from a position of strength,' but will only make it more wary and push it towards an alliance with Moscow. At the same time, the US does not have the resources to deal with an increasingly powerful China. The new team in Washington is thinking in the old framework of the 20th century."
Moscow and Beijing have been pursuing closer partnerships in recent months, with both expressing concern over potential US sanctions. At a summit with his Chinese counterparts last week, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov warned that "you cannot do global business by means of ultimatums and sanctions, or force other countries to behave as expected of them."

Best of the Web: Yes, new 'Jewish Power' party in Israel is fascistic, but its rise was inevitable

Comment: This then would appear to be Israel's version of 'the populist right'...


Ben-Gvir
© WikipediaReligious Zionism's Itamar Ben-Gvir ranks #3
With over 90% of the votes counted after Israel's Tuesday elections, Jewish Power, the party of followers of the late Jewish-fascist rabbi Meir Kahane, has helped get six seats for its bloc, Religious Zionism - well over the threshold of four (3.25% of all legitimate votes). It is now clear that Itamar Ben Gvir, the Kahanist who keeps a poster of Baruch Goldstein, the 1994 Hebron massacre perpetrator, in his living room, will enter the Israeli parliament, Knesset.

James Zogby and other commentators have compared Jewish Power to the KKK or neo-Nazis.

Prime Minister Netanyahu in fact worked hard to forge the Religious Zionism bloc so as to not lose these votes on his right side. He recently enraged ultra-orthodox leaders by urging voters to back Religious Zionism in order to secure their entry into the Knesset, reassuring them that the two traditional ultra-orthodox parties (Shas and United Torah Judaism) are doing fine. It looks like Shas got 9 seats, UTJ 7.

Comment: Israel's hardline political underbelly is being exposed. Trump was castigated by globalist media for appearing to side with the KKK and neo-Nazis. Israel's leader of almost two decades literally sides with such types.

The Biden administration is reportedly working on developing coronavirus vaccine passports that would allow Americans to prove that they have been vaccinated since some businesses have indicated that they will require proof of vaccination for people to enter their businesses.

"The administration's initiative has been driven largely by arms of the Department of Health and Human Services, including an office devoted to health information technology, said five officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the effort," The Washington Post reported. "The White House this month took on a bigger role coordinating government agencies involved in the work, led by coronavirus coordinator Jeff Zients, with a goal of announcing updates in coming days."

The report said that a digital version of the vaccine passport would be available through smartphone apps and "could display a scannable code similar to an airline boarding pass." Developers told the Post that people should also have the option of printing out a vaccine passport. The vaccine passports are expected to face "significant hurdles" surrounding data privacy and making sure that the passports cannot be counterfeited.

Christian explains how traditional ranching is actually being criminalized as part of the push to end meat -- a lynchpin of the total takeover of food in the Great Reset. We cannot allow this.

Asked at a White House press conference whether such orders would be forthcoming soon, Psaki responded: "Yes."

Best of the Web: Congress, in a five-hour hearing, demands tech CEOs censor the Internet even more aggressively

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, and Google/Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai testify before the House Energy and Commerce Committee, Mar. 25, 2021
Over the course of five-plus hours on Thursday, a House Committee along with two subcommittees badgered three tech CEOs, repeatedly demanding that they censor more political content from their platforms and vowing legislative retaliation if they fail to comply. The hearing — convened by the House Energy and Commerce Committee's Chair Rep. Frank Pallone, Jr. (D-NJ), and the two Chairs of its Subcommittees, Mike Doyle (D-PA) and Jan Schakowsky (D-IL) — was one of the most stunning displays of the growing authoritarian effort in Congress to commandeer the control which these companies wield over political discourse for their own political interests and purposes.

As I noted when I reported last month on the scheduling of this hearing, this was "the third time in less than five months that the U.S. Congress has summoned the CEOs of social media companies to appear before them with the explicit intent to pressure and coerce them to censor more content from their platforms." The bulk of Thursday's lengthy hearing consisted of one Democratic member after the next complaining that Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Google/Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai and Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey have failed in their duties to censor political voices and ideological content that these elected officials regard as adversarial or harmful, accompanied by threats that legislative punishment (including possible revocation of Section 230 immunity) is imminent in order to force compliance (Section 230 is the provision of the 1996 Communications Decency Act that shields internet companies from liability for content posted by their users).

Republican members largely confined their grievances to the opposite concern: that these social media giants were excessively silencing conservative voices in order to promote a liberal political agenda (that complaint is only partially true: a good amount of online censorship, like growing law enforcement domestic monitoring generally, focuses on all anti-establishment ideologies, not just the right-wing variant). This editorial censoring, many Republicans insisted, rendered the tech companies' Section 230 immunity obsolete, since they are now acting as publishers rather than mere neutral transmitters of information. Some Republicans did join with Democrats in demanding greater censorship, though typically in the name of protecting children from mental health disorders and predators rather than ideological conformity.

Mental Prison - You can't win. Don't even try!

Imagine you find a prisoner in an unlocked jail cell. Confused, you ask him why he's sitting there when the door to his cell isn't even locked.

"Oh, it's unlocked? I didn't check."

You assure him it's unlocked and ask again why he doesn't leave.

"Why bother? They'll probably catch me before I get out."

You look around in confusion. You explain to him that this isn't even a prison. That he's simply been told to wear an orange jumpsuit and stay in an unlocked room, but he doesn't have to comply. All he has to do is leave.

"Even if I get away, they'll just find me and bring me back here. Might as well just stay put."

Do you think this story is ridiculous? Of course it is. But the situation it details is all too true. In fact, researchers have known for half a century the mechanism by which people can be made to effectively lock themselves up inside their own mental prison . . . and it didn't take long for the intelligence agencies to put that research to use.

Today, let's explore the startling true story of how and how the public has been conditioned into a (false) sense of helplessness, and — more important by far — what you can do to break that conditioning.
