“We are all encouraging him to make that decision because time is running short” Pelosi

Former House Speaker and long-time Democratic party leader Nancy Pelosi weighed in on whether President Joe Biden should drop out of the race to let another Democrat challenge former President Donald Trump.

Pelosi, who is 84 years old, made the comments Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” and appeared to suggest there was still a chance Biden could step down, despite the president saying he has no intention of doing so.

When directly asked if Biden has her support to be the head of the Democratic ticket, the California Democrat said “it’s up to the president to decide if he is going to run.”

“We are all encouraging him to make that decision because time is running short,” Pelosi continued. “I think overwhelming support of the caucus, it’s not for me to say, I’m not the head of the caucus anymore, but he is beloved. He is respected, and people want him to make that decision.”

When pressed further with the point that Biden says he has already made the decision to stay in the race, Pelosi said, “I want him to do whatever he decides to do, and that’s the way it is.”

“Whatever he decides, we go with,” she said.

Pelosi said Biden was “spectacular” at his NATO summit speech the day before and lauded his record. She emphasized the importance of the NATO summit, which Biden is hosting with dozens of world leaders, and seemed to suggest Biden’s decision should come after the NATO summit.

Pelosi’s comments sparked headlines Wednesday and are particularly important given her senior influence within the party, especially since they seem to contradict Rep. Alexandira Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., another leader in the party, who told reporters Monday that “the matter is closed.”

Notably, Biden called in to “Morning Joe” earlier this week to shore up support within his own party.

Biden has repeatedly and emphatically said he will remain in the race and told Democrats questioning his candidacy to give it up. Congressional Democrats have continued to pressure Biden out of fear that his weakness will lead to them losing their seats, and any chance at a House or Senate majority, down the ballot.

Enthusiasm about the candidate on the top of the ticket traditionally has a major impact on down ballot races, especially in tight races.

Biden’s woes reached a crescendo following the first debate between Biden and Trump two weeks ago, when Biden faltered, stumbled and at times was incoherent in the debate.

Immediately after the debate, Democrats in the party, including elected Democrats, began calling for Biden to step aside, largely aided by left-leaning media.

Biden has pushed back, including sending a letter to Congress attempting to end the discussions, but has so far not succeeded.

The latest polling shows Trump has a lead over Biden, especially in several key swing states.

Quick Hit:

Hamas paraded the caskets of Israeli hostages, including what they claimed were the bodies of a mother and two young children, through the streets of Gaza before handing them over to the Red Cross. Videos show crowds cheering as armed terrorists carried the coffins as part of a prisoner exchange with Israel.

Key Details:

  • Videos from Khan Younis, Gaza, show Hamas and other terrorists parading four caskets, including those of two young children, before handing them to the Red Cross.
  • Crowds cheered as the terrorists, armed and unmasked, carried the coffins, with celebratory music playing in the background.
  • The deceased were identified as members of the Bibas family, including the youngest hostages from the October 7 attack.

 

Diving Deeper:

During a ceremony in Khan Younis, Gaza, Hamas paraded the caskets of Israeli hostages through the streets, including what they claimed were the bodies of a mother and her two small children. The display occurred before the remains were handed over to the Red Cross as part of a prisoner exchange agreement with Israel. Crowds of Gazans were seen cheering and celebrating as the coffins were carried by armed terrorists.

Videos from the event show masked militants loading a casket into a Red Cross aid truck, while another militant, adorned with symbols of Palestinian Islamic Jihad, filmed the procession. Another video shows adults and children waving and celebrating as Hamas fighters, armed and in trucks, paraded through the streets. Reuters footage also captured members of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PLFP) helping carry a casket, highlighting the involvement of multiple terrorist factions in the display.

Hamas presented the bodies as those of the Bibas family, who were captured during the October 7 attack. The children, aged four years and less than one year, were among the youngest hostages taken during the brutal assault that triggered the ongoing 15-month conflict. The fourth body was identified as 83-year-old Oded Lifshitz, according to Jewish News Syndicate. Hamas has repeatedly blamed the deaths on Israeli airstrikes, though no evidence was provided to support the claim.

Israel and Hamas are currently observing a temporary ceasefire agreement, facilitating the exchange of civilian hostages for Palestinian prisoners. Despite the ceasefire, Hamas has continued to celebrate the October 7 attacks, which resulted in the largest mass killing of Jewish people since the Holocaust. During the ceremony, a stage displayed a poster depicting Israel as a “Nazi Army,” underscoring Hamas’s longstanding agenda of hostility towards the Jewish state.

The shocking parade of caskets, accompanied by celebratory music and cheering crowds, has drawn international condemnation and further underscored the brutal nature of Hamas’s actions. As the exchange process continues, the emotional toll on the families of the victims remains immeasurable.

RFK Jr: There’s no medical justification for vaccinating one-day-old babies for Hepatitis B

Published on

From LifeSiteNews

By Doug Mainwaring

‘Hepatitis B is sexually transmitted from having sex with multiple partners in gay sex, or from sex workers, or intravenous drug use,’ explained the new HHS head. ‘Why would you give that to a baby?’

In a widely-viewed video shared on social media, the new U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS), Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., asserted that the majority of vaccines — including those he sees as unjustifiably being mandated for infants — have been developed primarily to create profits for Big Pharma.    

“Most of the vaccines after 1989 were added not for public health reasons but for pharmaceutical profit reasons,” said Kennedy.    

“Why are we vaccinating one-day-old babies for Hepatitis B?” he asked. 

“Hepatitis B is sexually transmitted from having sex with multiple partners in gay sex, or from sex workers, or intravenous drug use,” he said, reemphasizing, “Why would you give that to a baby?” 

According to Kennedy, Pharmaceutical giant Merck was directed by both the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) and the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) to develop the Hepatitis B vaccine for “those vulnerable populations.”    

He explained that when those populations showed little interest in the vaccine, “Merck went back to the agencies and said ‘You told us to develop this vaccine, but nobody’s buying it.”  

“The CDC said, ‘Don’t worry’” recounted Kennedy, “we’ll just recommend it for children and we’ll force everybody to buy it.”     

“So, that’s how it got on the [childhood vaccine] schedule,” he said, declaring, “There’s no medical justification.”   

There’s no downstream liability, there’s no front-end safety testing – that saves them a quarter billion dollars – and there’s no marketing and advertising costs, because the federal government is ordering 78 million school kids to take that vaccine every year.  

What better product could you have? And so there was a gold rush to add all these new vaccines to the schedule that we don’t need. Most of these vaccines are unnecessary. Many of them are for diseases that are not even casually contagious.  

It was a gold rush, because if you get onto that schedule, it’s a billion dollars a year for your company.  

And in many cases, NIH is earning the royalties. 

According to Kennedy, more obscene than the huge profits being horded by Big Pharma are the vast number of negative side-effects from all those untested vaccines. 

“Neurological diseases” have “exploded,” he said. 

“ADHD, sleep disorders, language delays, ASD, autism, Tourette’s syndrome, ticks, narcolepsy. These are all things that I never heard of,” said Kennedy. “Autism went from one in 10,000 in my generation according to CDC data to one in every 34 kids today.” 

Kennedy is known for vehemently opposing vaccines without proper knowledge for those taking them, a stance he adopted after the mothers of vaccine-injured children implored him to look into the research linking thimerosal to neurological injuries, including autism. He went on to found Children’s Health Defense, an organization with the stated mission of “ending childhood health epidemics by eliminating toxic exposure,” largely through vaccines.
