I think we lost him years ago!-----Dad tells Biden, 'Let's go Brandon' during Christmas Eve call
Dad tells Biden, 'Let's go Brandon' during Christmas Eve call
"Things went off script when President Biden and first lady Jill Biden spoke with children and NORAD officials who are tracking Santa Claus on Christmas Eve.
A dad who identified as Jared from Oregon closed his family's call with the Bidens by saying, "Let's go Brandon," a phrase that disparages the president.
...It's now used to mock both Biden and the media for not understanding those who oppose the president, and as a euphemism for that more vulgar chant.
"Let's go Brandon, I agree," Biden responded.
The president followed up by asking where Jared's home was, but no one responded.
"I think we lost him," Biden said."...Audio at link.

‘Problematic’ statue of Teddy Roosevelt removed from Museum of Natural History in New York City
"The summer of 2020 wasn’t just about riots — it was the height of statue frenzy as well.
...It was problematic, you see, because the statue of Abraham Lincoln helping lift a slave out of his chains looked racist to some people.
Boston removed its Emancipation Memorial last December because it was making residents and visitors “uncomfortable” all of a sudden.
There was a similarly problematic statue of Teddy Roosevelt in front of the American Museum of Natural History in New York City.

Later this week, the FDA plans to approve, as the first outpatient COVID drugs, therapeutics that are extremely dangerous and unproven, even as the agency goes to war against cheap, safe, and proven drugs with a track record of no serious adverse events. The approval is as shocking as it is revealing and should serve as a warning to those who don’t believe the FDA would approve vaccines that aren’t safe and effective.
