Biden Neglects to Mention “God” in National Day of Prayer Proclamation
In a huge break from his predecessors, President Joe Biden chose not to mention “God” during the National Day of Prayer. Instead, he went for the “inclusive” approach, saying, “Throughout our history, Americans of many religions and belief systems have turned to prayer for strength, hope and guidance. Prayer has nourished countless souls and powered moral movements – including essential fights against racial injustice, child labor and infringement on the rights of disabled Americans. Prayer is also a daily practice for many, whether it is to ask for help or strength, or to give thanks over blessings bestowed.” In fact, the only mention of God was during Biden’s remarks when he stated the coronavirus vaccine was given “by the grace of God.”
Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms Won’t Seek Re-election
In a surprise announcement, Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms, who has been positioned as a rising star in the progressive ranks of the Democratic Party, said Thursday that she will not run for re-election this year. “As [husband] Derek and I have given thoughtful prayer and consideration to the season now before us, it is with deep emotions that I hold my head high, and choose not to seek another term as mayor,” Bottoms said in a statement. “The move is a shocking reversal for Bottoms, a mayor with a rising national profile who had launched her re-election campaign and held a fundraising event featuring President Joe Biden,” The Atlanta Journal-Constitution observed. “The decision creates a wide-open mayor’s race this year, and is likely to open the door for a slew of new candidates.”
Elizabeth Warren Applauds Facebook For Upholding Trump Ban: ‘Danger to Democracy’
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), the failed 2020 Democratic presidential candidate who has styled herself as a populist voice against Big Tech bullying, praised Facebook Thursday for deciding to uphold its ban of ex-President Trump. “I am much happier with Donald Trump off the air, off Facebook. I don’t like having to get up every morning and go through what he’s done. I think he poses a lot of risk,” Warren exclaimed in an interview with a leading Washington news outlet. “He spreads lies,” she continued. “Indeed, he is now forcing, evidently, everybody else in the Republican Party to agree to say the lie out loud. He spreads misinformation. He is truly a danger to our democracy.”
Democrat Rep. Cori Bush Ripped For Calling Mothers ‘Birthing People’
“Every day, Black birthing people and our babies die because our doctors don’t believe our pain. My children almost became a statistic. I almost became a statistic,” Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO) tweeted out on Thursday. Her odd description of motherhood drew an immediate backlash. “Crazy Woke Congresswoman Calls Pregnant Women ‘Birthing People,’ read a headline for an article at the conservative Bongino Report. But Bush did have some supporters on the Left. “When we talk about birthing people, we’re being inclusive. It’s that simple,” NARAL Pro-Choice America stated in a tweet. “We use gender-neutral language when talking about pregnancy, because it’s not just cis-gender women that can get pregnant and give birth. Reproductive freedom is for *every* body.”
Ex-Criminal Defense Lawyer: Jimmy Hoffa Buried Under Golf Course in Georgia
“It was so out of the way, it was ridiculous that he would be brought here to Savannah, Georgia,” former criminal defense attorney Reginald Haupt Jr. tells Fox News. “It made this the perfect place.” And with that there is a new entry in the Jimmy Hoffa Burial Site Sweepstakes. Haupt claims Hoffa’s remains are located under the green of a hole on the golf course at the Savannah Inn and Golf Country Club on Wilmington Island, on the banks of the Savannah River. Haupt says he discovered this fact in an unusual way. “At one particular spot on that golf course, [mobsters] would urinate,” he averred. “They would laugh about it, and when you see somebody do that, it sort of rings a bell. That is not ordinary golf etiquette.”
NFL GM: I Would Consider Cutting Unvaccinated Player From Roster
Buffalo Bills General Manager Brandon Beane says it would be to his team’s “advantage” to cut a player who has not gotten the coronavirus vaccine if doing so keeps the NFL squad from facing league-mandated COVID-19 restrictions. “You guys saw it in the fieldhouse, we had three and four meetings going on, and sometimes you’re talking over each other. But it was the only way to pull it off and be social distant,” Beane said during a Wednesday podcast interview. “So it would be an advantage to cut a player and fall under that umbrella.”

Ex-Olympic Weightlifter: Females Told to ‘Be Quiet’ About Transgender Competitor at 2021 Games
Former Olympic weightlifter Tracey Lambrechs says females are being told to “be quiet” if they attempt to take issue with transgender New Zealand athlete Laurel Hubbard competing at the Tokyo Games this summer. “I’m quite disappointed, quite disappointed for the female athlete who will lose out on that spot,” Lambrechs told New Zealand station TVNZ. “We’re all about equality for women in sport but right now that equality is being taken away from us.” “I’ve had female weightlifters come up to me and say, ‘What do we do? This isn’t fair, what do we do?’” Lambrechs added. “Unfortunately, there’s nothing we can do because every time we voice it, we get told to be quiet.”
