Biden annoyed at Kamala Harris for not 'rising to the occasion,' VP scared of 'messing up': report

'I don't think that the president sees her as somebody who takes anything off of his plate,' one former White House official reportedly said

 

President Joe Biden is reportedly frustrated at Vice President Kamala Harris for not "rising to the occasion" as his second-in-command, according to a recent report from Reuters. 

The bombshell story from Reuters included comments from high-ranking officials in the Biden administration who revealed some of president's candid opinions about Harris.  

"If he did not think she was capable, he would not have picked her," one former Biden official told Reuters.

"But it is a question of consistently rising to the occasion," the official said.

A second former official highlighted a "point of tension" between Biden and Harris. 

"I don't think that the president sees her as somebody who takes anything off of his plate," a second former White House official said, adding a "fear of messing up" had caused Harris to be late in joining important political fights, like the ongoing border crisis. 

Biden put Harris in charge of border issues in 2021, but she has notably neglected visiting the border, going only after she took heavy flack in the press and from interest groups. 

The National Border Patrol Council grilled Harris for failing to do her job and protect the border in January. 

"If you were given a job 2 years ago with the explicit goal of reducing illegal immigration, and then you sit around and do nothing while illegal immigration explodes to levels never seen before, you should be fired and replaced. Period," the Council wrote. 

A current administration official acknowledged Harris’ weakness on border issues in comments to Reuters. "She, I think, is smart. She does not see this as a political win for her. Because it's not. It's a really hard issue," the official said.

This is not Harris’ first conflict with Democratic Party heavyweights. CNN reported that Harris stopped receiving Sen. Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s phone calls for a time after the Senator seemingly refused to endorse the VP for re-election in 2024.

"I really want to defer to what makes Biden comfortable on his team," Warren said when asked by a Boston Public Radio interview if Harris should be Biden's running mate in 2024.

"I’ve known Kamala for a long time. I like Kamala. I knew her back when she was an attorney general and I was still teaching, and we worked on the housing crisis together, so we go way back. But they need — they have to be a team, and my sense is they are — I don’t mean that by suggesting I think there are any problems. I think they are."

Warren attempted to call Harris twice to apologize for her comments, according to CNN, but the vice president has not returned her calls.

Warren later tried to correct record, arguing that she was always in full support of Harris. 

"I fully support the president’s and vice president’s reelection together and never intended to imply otherwise," Warren told GBH News. 

"They’re a terrific team with a strong record of delivering for working families."

Biden and Harris did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.

Oregon Democrats Seek to Create Sanctuary State for Kids to Get Abortions and Sex Changes Without Parental Consent

by Cassandra MacDonald Mar. 24, 2023 7:15 am118 Comments

 

Democrat lawmakers in Oregon are working to create a sanctuary state for minors to get abortions or sex changes without parental consent.

The measure, The Reproductive Health and Access to Care Act, would allow “any person without regard to the age” to get abortions or sex change surgeries, including those that will sterilize them, without their parent’s knowledge or permission.

The changes would also deem facial reconstruction surgery and hair removal as “medically necessary” — requiring insurance companies to cover it.

“Someone I know and love, someone you know and love, may need an abortion or gender-affirming care someday,” Democratic House Speaker Dan Rayfield said of the measure, according to a report from the Associated Press. “People should have the right to make their own decisions on their own health care with medical professionals, without fear of harm.”

The lead sponsor of the bill, Democratic state Sen. Kate Lieber, implied during the hearing about the measure that it will help to prevent teen suicide.

 

“LGBTQ youth in particular have a very high rate of suicide,” she testified. “It is really important to listen to the children who are telling us what they’re feeling and how they are being in this world.”

The report explains that in addition to allowing minors to obtain life and body-altering procedures, it will “shield providers and patients from criminal and civil liability as states have moved to outlaw abortion following the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade last year. It would also allow a person to bring a civil action in court against a public body for interfering with their reproductive health rights.”

“The bill would also prohibit medical licensing boards from suspending, revoking or refusing to grant a license to a provider because of a conviction or disciplinary action for providing reproductive or gender-affirming health care in states where that care is restricted,” the report added.

Republican state Rep. Emily McIntire testified that “one of the most beautiful relationships in the universe is a parent to a child” and that “this bill goes to the very core of a family unit.”

The Washington Free Beacon reports that a detransitioner named Frank Smith “told lawmakers he agreed to genital surgery and breast implants while addicted to meth and has had to navigate his way to detransitioning on his own since the therapists he went to for help told him his remaining male characteristics caused his post-transition unhappiness. When he decided to remove the breast implants, Medicaid would not pay for the procedure so he had to save up on his own.”

“I could not afford complete anesthesia and they operated on me while I was awake with only a little numbing cream,” Smith said, explaining that he learned too late that he cannot reconstruct his former body if he changed his mind. “My muscles had been ripped off the bone in haste to fabricate female anatomy on a male chest. There is no reattaching them.”

National Crisis: CDC Says 1 in 36 Children Now Identified with Autism Spectrum Disorder

by Jim Hoft Mar. 24, 2023 7:30 am171 Comments

 

Autism is becoming more prevalent among young children.

Earlier this year, a new study published in the journal Pediatrics analyzed data from more than 4,000 8-year-olds in New York and New Jersey and found that the prevalence of autism has tripled in the last 16 years, Forbes reported.

On Thursday, the CDC released its updated report on the expected prevalence of autism among American children.

The Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring (ADDM) Network included 11 sites (Arizona, Arkansas, California, Georgia, Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, Tennessee, Utah, and Wisconsin) that monitored Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) prevalence for 2020.

According to the study, more children of color (Black and Hispanic) than White children are being diagnosed with autism for the first time.

Prevalence via CDC:

• About 1 in 36 children has been identified with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) according to estimates from CDC’s Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring (ADDM) Network. [Read article]
• ASD is reported to occur in all racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic groups. [Read article]
• ASD is more than 4 times more common among boys than among girls. [Read article]
• About 1 in 6 (17%) children aged 3–17 years were diagnosed with a developmental disability, as reported by parents, during a study period of 2009-2017. These included autism, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, blindness, and cerebral palsy, among others. [Read summary]

According to federal health officials, COVID prevented early intervention and treatment for some children.

Robert Kennedy Jr., a major figure in the vaccine resistance movement, wrote on his Twitter, “Why does CDC refuse to investigate the cause of exploding Autism epidemic far more devastating than COVID?”

  What is happening in Phoenix?! Has anyone heard what caused this? This came out on Sunday, and there has been no update. Parents are freaking out what caused this and are wondering what is going on. “Phoenix detectives are investigating after three children were found dead in separate incidents in the span of one hour Sunday morning. In each case, a child was found not breathing, but they have confirmed none were from drownings.” The deaths occurred between 5:30 am and 6:30 am. https://fox10phoenix.com/news/3-children-reported-dead-in-phoenix-in-one-morning-police-say

  3 children reported dead in Phoenix in one morning, police say

  Phoenix detectives are investigating after three children were found dead in separate incidents in the span of one hour Sunday morning.

   

   

   

   

   

  The incidents are not linked to drownings, according to the police.

  
  

  Sgt. Robert Scherer of the Phoenix Police Department said that at this point in the investigation, it does not appear that their deaths were suspicious.

  “Ruling foul play out completely wouldn’t be the right thing at this time,” Scherer said. “However I can tell you that neither of these cases have elements that would be suspicious to investigators.”

  The office of the medical examiner will determine the cause of death in each case.

  AZ Central reported:

  The first incident happened just before 5:30 a.m. near Thomas Road and North 32nd Street. Officers and firefighters arrived and tried to treat a child, but the kid did not survive and was pronounced dead at the scene, police said.

  Officers responded to a similar call at a residence near McDowell Road and North 51st Avenue just after 5:30 a.m. Officers and firefighters found a “very young” child not breathing. Firefighters treated the toddler and took the child to a hospital. The toddler did not survive and was pronounced dead at a hospital, according to Phoenix police.

  A third incident happened at an apartment complex near Broadway and Price roads shortly before 6:30 a.m. There, officers found a child who was also not breathing. Firefighters arrived and treated the child before rushing to a hospital where the child later died, police said.

   

  In Chandler, Det. Eva Zermeo reported that a 5-month-old infant was rushed to the hospital on March 19 at 5 a.m., but sadly the baby did not survive.

  “As in any death investigation, we don’t determine the cause of death. Our detectives investigated to see if there was anything criminal that we don’t appear there was at this time. The medical examiner’s office determines the cause of death,” she said.

Mr. Woman of the Year – USA Today Honors Transgender State Representative

by Jim Hoft Mar. 22, 2023 9:50 pm542 Comments

Guest post by Victor Nieves

The insult against women continues as USA Today chose to honor a man as one of their “women of the year.” This time, biological male, state representative Leigh Finke who “transitioned” in 2017 made the short list of so-called heroic women.

 

 

 

Transgender Democrat Wins Minnesota House Seat in Landslide Victory

The Gateway Pundit

 

Finke was only elected last November but has been described as an activist for BLM and LGBTQ causes.  The Gateway Pundit reported on her historic win back in November.

Alongside Leigh were actual women such as Michelle Obama, and astronaut Colonel Nicole Mann.

The intentional destruction and erasure of women is nothing new in this country. In 2015 Caitlyn (Bruce) Jenner was named Woman of the Year by Glamour Magazine. Leah Thomas destroyed female competitors to become the first transgender NCAA champion in division 1 history and was later nominated for NCAA “Woman of the Year” award. Earlier this year Jill Biden presented a man, Alba Rueda, with an award for International Women’s Day. Now newly elected lawmakers are eligible to be honored among women, even though they were born male.

Legitimate women across the country are being forced to watch what is essentially a public humiliation ritual. New wave “feminists” have created an unholy marriage with the radical transgender activists and leave real women in their wake of destruction.  Young women work their entire lives to achieve success in sports, academia, or philanthropic ventures just to have a man dress up like an insulting caricature of what he thinks a woman is, and steal their awards.

When will women push back?  And what will the radical trans community do next?

 

Here we go again) Frightening new fungus 'candida auris': What is it? Who is susceptible? Experts weigh in on potentially deadly fungus detected in over half of US states

Frightening new fungus 'candida auris': What is it? Who is susceptible?

Experts weigh in on potentially deadly fungus detected in over half of US states

 

Cases of a potentially deadly fungus have risen to an alarming rate — sparking a warning from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) that it is an "urgent threat" in a recent release about a new study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine. 

Cases have soared nearly 200%, from 476 cases in 2019 to 1,471 in 2021 — and those cases were detected in over half of U.S. states, the CDC report found.

Candida auris or C. Auris is a fungus typically found in hospital settings and long-term care facilities. 

It is a type of yeast.

CDC SAYS CASES OF LETHAL FUNGUS TRIPLED IN RECENT YEARS

It can cause severe infections and death in those who are immunocompromised or have underlying medical issues and indwelling devices, health experts told Fox News Digital. 

The first case in the United States was back in 2013, with early cases found mainly in New York City and Chicago, according to the CDC published report.

"Candida auris is a strain of yeast that has been found in hospital settings," Dr. Frederick Davis, the associate chair of Emergency Medicine at Northwell Health on Long Island New York, told Fox News Digital.  

The concern with this particular strain, he said, is that "many recent cases have been found to be resistant to commonly used medications to treat infection and in the limited number of cases have had a 30% to 60% mortality rate."

"In chronically ill patients in health care facilities, it can enter the bloodstream through areas of open wound."

Davis was not involved in the CDC report.

He said the fungus "is usually not a threat to healthy individuals. In some people, it can reside on one’s skin and around the mouth or rectum and not cause any symptoms or concern. This is called asymptomatic colonization."

Catheters could also be a source of transmission, said one medical expert, as they're usually inserted many times through the skin, where candida resides. (iStock)

However, he said, "in chronically ill patients in health care facilities, it can enter the bloodstream through areas of open wound and lead to a symptomatic infection."

Those with an implanted device are more susceptible to this type of infection because the devices offer a surface for the fungus to colonize, the emergency medicine physician said. 

POTENTIALLY DEADLY DRUG-RESISTANT FUNGUS SPREADING RAPIDLY IN US

Catheters could also be a source of transmission, he said, as they're usually inserted many times through the skin, where candida will reside.

The fungus is resistant to many drugs that would be used to treat it. 

"While most candida infections can present as a red patchy rash, the main concern is when candida gets into the bloodstream through an open wound. This will lead to fevers and look of sepsis."  

Davis said this includes symptoms such as an increased heart rate and low blood pressure.

The other major concern about it, as health experts shared Fox News Digital, was that this type of fungus is resistant to many drugs that would be used to treat it.

"There are many types of antifungals; some of them work, and some of them don’t," said Aaron Glatt, M.D., chief of infectious diseases at Mount Sinai South Nassau Hospital on Long Island, New York.

"The concern is that these candida auris [infections] are already becoming resistant to many different types of antifungals available, so you are really limited in how you treat" them, he said.

"Bugs, fungi — they adapt," Glatt said.

Precautions such as wearing gloves and gowns and properly washing hands could help limit the exposure. 

He equated the ability of the fungus to adapt, much as a person adapts by putting on a sweater when it gets cold.

This adaptability of this fungus strain creates a threat to patients with underlying medical issues, he said. 

People need to be aware of preventing the spread of the fungus, especially in nursing home facilities, hospitals and long-term care units where there are vulnerable populations, said one medical expert.  (iStock)

"This is becoming more of a concern in very immunocompromised patients," he said.

The infectious disease expert said while this type of fungal infection is not something that healthy people typically need to be concerned about, they do need to be aware of preventing the spread of the fungus, especially in nursing home facilities, hospitals and long-term care units where there are vulnerable populations. 

Precautions such as wearing gloves and gowns and properly washing hands could help limit the exposure and help prevent the spread of this fungus strain. 

One possibility for the dramatic increase in cases of the fungus, according to the authors of the CDC report, could be due to decreased infection control measures during the pandemic, due to the strain that COVID-19 put on health care systems.

The strain resulted in shortages of staff and equipment, increased antimicrobial use and an
