Trump Says ‘New’ Iranian President Requested Ceasefire

(Kyle Anzalone, Antiwar.com) President Donald Trump said that the “new” President of Iran had accepted a ceasefire with the US. Tehran quickly denied Trump’s statement. 

“Iran’s New Regime President, much less Radicalized and far more intelligent than his predecessors, has just asked the United States of America for a CEASEFIRE!” the President posted on his Trump Social account on Wednesday. “We will consider when Hormuz Strait is open, free, and clear. Until then, we are blasting Iran into oblivion or, as they say, back to the Stone Ages!!!”

The post is confusing as Iran does not have a new president, and Tehran says there are no ongoing talks with the US. Masoud Pezeshkian has served as President of Iran since his election in 2024. 

The Iranian Foreign Ministry said Trump’s claim that Tehran agreed to a ceasefire is false. Additionally, Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei issued a statement explaining that Iran would continue to use its leverage over the Strait of Hormuz and was seeking new domains to expand the war. 

Throughout the month-long conflict, Trump and other top US officials have repeatedly claimed that Tehran was attempting to broker an end to the conflict. Iranian officials have rebuked those statements and said that Tehran is uninterested in a truce or negotiations with Washington. 

While the White House and Pentagon have told the American people that Iran’s military capabilities have been significantly degraded, Iranian forces continue to fire missiles and drones at US bases, Israel, and other US allies in the region. 

According to data compiled by Anadolu, Iran has fired missiles and drones at a consistent rate since the war was started by a US and Israeli surprise attack on February 28. On Wednesday, Fox News chief foreign correspondent Trey Yingst said that Tel Aviv was experiencing a constant bombardment from Iranian missiles.

US Deploying Another Aircraft Carrier to the Middle East for Iran War

US Deploying Another Aircraft Carrier to the Middle East for Iran War

(Dave DeCamp, Antiwar.com) The US is deploying a third aircraft carrier to the Middle East for operations against Iran, US officials told media outlets on Tuesday, a sign that the war will continue to escalate despite President Donald Trump’s claims that he is looking to end the conflict.

The aircraft carrier USS George H.W. Bush and other warships that are part of its strike group departed Naval Station Norfolk in Virginia on Tuesday and are expected to arrive in the Middle East in a few weeks. The US Navy said the strike group’s departure is part of a regularly scheduled deployment.

According to The Wall Street Journal, once the Bush arrives in the region, the US could have three carriers deployed for the Iran war for the foreseeable future, though Al Arabiya reported that the warship could replace one of the two carriers that have been involved in the conflict: the USS Abraham Lincoln, which has been operating in the Arabian Sea, or the USS Gerald Ford, which is currently in Croatia after being in Crete for repairs.

The Ford, which was operating in the Eastern Mediterranean near Israel, went to port after a major fire on the ship destroyed the beds of 100 crewmembers. The US military has insisted that the blaze was caused by a fire in the ship’s laundry room, though there are suspicions that an attack or sabotage was the real cause. The Ford has also been on an extended deployment and is set to break the record for the longest deployment since the Vietnam War.

In addition to sending a third aircraft carrier to the Middle East, the US has deployed thousands of Marines and US Army Airborne troops to the region as the Pentagon prepares for potential ground operations. Trump is insisting the war could be over in a few weeks, but escalating to a ground war would likely lead to a much longer conflict.

Advocacy Groups Urge YouTube to Protect Kids From ‘AI slop’ Videos

Advocacy Groups Urge YouTube to Protect Kids From ‘AI slop’ Videos

(Headline USA) Advocacy groups and experts condemned YouTube for serving up low-quality artificial intelligence-generated videos to its most vulnerable audience: children.

In a letter to YouTube CEO Neal Mohan and Sundar Pichai, the CEO of YouTube’s parent company Google, children’s advocacy group Fairplay expresses “serious concern” about the spread of AI-generated videos on both YouTube and YouTube Kids. The letter, which was sent on Wednesday morning, was signed by more than 200 organizations and individual experts such as child psychiatrists and educators.

“This ’ AI slop ’ harms children’s development by distorting their sense of reality, overwhelming their learning processes and hijacking their attention, thereby extending time online and displacing offline activities necessary for their healthy development,” the letter reads. “These harms are particularly acute for young children.” The letter calls on YouTube to clearly label all AI-generated content and ban any AI-generated content on YouTube Kids. They also propose barring AI-generated videos from being recommended to users under 18 and implementing an option for parents to turn off AI-generated content even if their child searches for it.

The letter is signed by 135 organizations including the American Federation of Teachers and the American Counseling Association, and around 100 individual experts like “The Anxious Generation” author Jonathan Haidt. The letter is part of a larger campaign from Fairplay that also includes a petition.

Much of this AI-generated content is fast-paced with bright colors, lively music and clickbait titles that work to grab the attention of young viewers, the letter outlines. There has been a growing movement online against AI-generated content, particularly when it looks or feels low quality or leans into the meaninglessness of “ brainrot.”

Spokesperson Boot Bullwinkle said in a statement that YouTube has “high standards for the content in YouTube Kids, including limiting AI-generated content in the app to a small set of high-quality channels.”

“We also provide parents the option to block channels. Across YouTube, we prioritize transparency when it comes to AI content, labeling content from our own AI tools, and requiring creators to disclose realistic AI content,” Bullwinkle said. “We’re always evolving our approach to stay current as the ecosystem evolves.”

YouTube’s current policy regarding AI-generated content requires creators to disclose when content that’s “realistic” is made with altered or synthetic media, including generative AI. Creators are not required to disclose when generative AI is used to create content that is clearly unrealistic, including animated videos and those with special effects.

YouTube said it is actively working on developing labels for YouTube Kids.

In its letter, Fairplay argues that voluntary disclosure policy and what it sees as an “extremely limited” definition of altered and synthetic content mean kids still see a flood of AI-generated videos that are not labeled as such. They also argue that many children who watch YouTube videos are not yet able to read or to comprehend something like an AI disclosure. That leaves children “to fend for themselves or their parents to play whack-a-mole,” the letter reads.

Fairplay’s campaign comes shortly after Google’s AI Futures Fund invested $1 million into Animaj, an AI animation studio that makes videos for kids and draws in staggeringly high viewership numbers, according to Bloomberg.

The campaign follows a landmark verdict in a social media addiction trial in which a California jury found that YouTube designed its platform to hook young users without concern for their well-being. Meta was also found liable on the same counts as YouTube in the same case.

“Pushing AI slop onto young children is just another testament to how YouTube and YouTube Kids are designed to maximize children’s time online — including babies. AI slop hypnotizes young children, making it hard for them to get off their screens and move onto essential activities like play, sleep and social interaction,” said Rachel Franz, the director of Fairplay’s Young Children Thrive Offline program, in a statement. “What’s more, YouTube’s algorithm makes it impossible for kids to avoid AI slop.”

Earlier this year, YouTube head Mohan listed out “managing AI slop” as one of the company’s priorities for 2026. In a January blog post, he wrote that the company was “actively building on our established systems that have been very successful in combatting spam and clickbait, and reducing the spread of low quality, repetitive content.”

Trump Makes History at Supreme Court Amid Landmark Birthright Citizenship Challenge

(Emily Rodriguez & Brett Rowland, The Center Square) President Donald Trump made history Wednesday by attending oral arguments at the U.S. Supreme Court over his executive order seeking to end birthright citizenship, spotlighting a pivotal legal battle with far-reaching implications.

Trump has been urging the Supreme Court to rule in his favor on several key issues. After the court ruled against him on tariffs in February, the citizenship case moved to the forefront. During oral arguments, the president stayed for only part of the session, leaving the courtroom for the White House as an American Civil Liberties Union attorney presented the case against his order.

Trump, a second-term Republican, arrived in a secure convoy. Police blocked off access for non-Supreme Court personnel and redirected traffic, while photographers waited outside the area.

Around 9:40 a.m., police vehicles led Trump’s convoy to the Supreme Court, followed by several black vehicles, armored police vehicles, and an ambulance. Security was heightened as military personnel arrived and vehicles remained at the scene.

Trump left the court about 15 minutes after a lawyer for the American Civil Liberties Union presented the case against Trump’s executive order. On the drive back, tourists responded with gestures of support and opposition to the president. Trump arrived back at the White House at 11:30 a.m.

The birthright citizenship case, Trump v. Barbara, challenges Trump’s first-day executive order denying birthright citizenship to children born in the U.S. after Feb. 19, 2025, whose parents are either illegally in the country or are temporary residents. The central legal question is whether the president’s order violates or reinterprets the 14th Amendment’s guarantee of citizenship to those born in the United States.

The challenge centers on whether the executive order is consistent with the 14th Amendment, which conferred citizenship and voting rights to freed African Americans after the Civil War. Plaintiffs argue the order conflicts with what has been interpreted as a constitutional guarantee.

The 14th Amendment reads: “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.” The case could hinge on the meaning of five words: “subject to the jurisdiction thereof.”

This case directly challenges the president’s authority to alter citizenship policy by executive order, and its outcome could reshape immigration policy, citizenship definitions, and broader U.S. policy.

The Supreme Court is expected to decide the case before the end of its term this summer.

Don’t Be a Precious Metals Fool

(Stuart Englert, Money Metals News Service) Since it’s April 1st, it seems an appropriate time to look at the Top 10 reasons why it’s foolish to own gold and silver.

1) Despite persistently dire and gloomy headlines, all the world’s economic problems and financial woes, including excess currency creation, price inflation, and record indebtedness, have been solved—forever.

2) Acknowledging that charging exorbitant interest on loans is immoral, creditors and lenders around the globe plan to declare a debt jubilee, forgiving all government, corporate, household, and individual debts, totaling $348 trillion. Budgetary bliss and economic utopia will ensue, while financial exploitation and predatory lending will cease.

3) With their debts erased, financially reformed governments worldwide will halt deficit spending, incessant borrowing, and announce a decades-long income tax holiday, lifting the onerous burden on their citizens, who will stop dreading the financial future and wallow in their newfound wealth.

4) Since they’re so deadly, destructive, expensive to wage, and contribute greatly to budget deficits, world leaders will ban all wars and armed conflicts, as well as economic sanctions and trade restrictions. Free enterprise will rule, and the peace dividend will reign. Philanthropy and prudence will prevail over profligacy and war profiteering.

5) With debts forgiven, wars banned, and currency debasement curtailed, monetary inflation will be reduced to the point that the Federal Reserve and other central banks will embrace their irrelevancy. No longer needed to hike interest rates to deflate asset bubbles or combat rising prices, the parasitic institutions ultimately will be dismantled and mothballed.

6) With inflation slayed and across-the-board balanced budgets, fiat currencies will appreciate in value, prompting governments and central banks to unlock their vaults, relinquish their 37,000 tons of gold reserves, and donate the worthless bullion to architectural artists and historical museums, thereby abandoning thousands of years of monetary history.

7) Without depreciating currencies and monetary inflation, owning precious metals as financial assets, economic insurance, or personal savings will become pointless and passé. Gold and silver will become relics of the past as antiquated as dinosaur bones, film cameras, and telephone booths. Gold and silver coins will be repurposed as gaming tokens and poker chips. Bullion bars will be used as construction material, doorstops, and paperweights.

8) As part of the growing trend away from shiny rocks, women in India start collecting Barbie dolls and Beanie Babies for their enduring value rather than gold bangles, earrings, and necklaces.

9) With precious metals falling out of fashion, the anti-gold and silver craze catches on globally among the jewelry-wearing general public. Environmentally-conscious newlyweds in the United States, for example, begin exchanging wooden wedding bands and nose rings made from recycled plastic as symbols of their eternal love.

10) And finally, in addition to declining consumer demand for precious metals, space aliens have taught Chinese scientists how to transform abundant iron pyrite (known as fool’s gold) into gold, convert tin foil hats into silver, and turn scrap aluminum into palladium and platinum, purely for industrial applications, of course.

If you’re naïve enough to believe any of the forementioned nonsense on April Fools’ Day, or any other day for that matter, you’re probably foolish enough not to own gold and silver.

Trump Pardons Corrupt Nursing Home Owner

Trump Pardons Corrupt Nursing Home Owner

(José Niño, Headline USA) President Donald Trump granted a full pardon to nursing home owner Joseph Schwartz in November, erasing his federal prison sentence just three months into a three year term for orchestrating a $39 million payroll tax scheme. The pardon left grieving families unable to collect multimillion dollar judgments awarded after their loved ones died in Schwartz’s facilities, ProPublica reported.

Schwartz had pleaded guilty last April to failure to pay IRS taxes withheld from employees and failing to file a financial report for his employees’ benefit plan. Federal prosecutors said they believed Schwartz still controlled more than $50 million in assets, though not a single asset appeared in his name.

The New York Times reported that Schwartz spent more than $1 million on lobbyists to press the White House, the Justice Department, and Congress on his behalf. Far right activist and Trump ally Laura Loomer also championed his cause, publishing posts on X that falsely claimed Schwartz was not responsible for the tax violations and that he had paid back “every dime.” She accused the sentencing judge of antisemitism against Schwartz, who is Jewish, though she offered no evidence. Loomer said she heard about the case in a group chat with members of an orthodox Jewish outreach movement who asked her to look into it.

The White House claimed that Schwartz “relied on a third-party entity” to manage tax filings, that no funds were used for personal enrichment, and that the sentence was “an example of over prosecution.” But those claims are contradicted by the court record and Schwartz’s own guilty plea, in which he acknowledged responsibility for the unpaid payroll taxes. While he repaid $5 million, that covered only a fraction of what he owed.

Among those left without recourse was the family of Doris Coulson. The retired cardiac nurse had been admitted to Hillview Post Acute and Rehabilitation Center in Little Rock, Arkansas in January 2016 after Parkinson’s disease left her at risk of choking when she swallowed. Her medical records were marked “NPO,” meaning nothing by mouth.

In September 2016, a nursing assistant found Coulson unresponsive and hanging off the side of her bed, her skin ashy and her breathing shallow. She died several days later. The chief cause of death was aspiration pneumonia.

“The doctors said they found scrambled eggs in her lungs,” said her daughter Melissa Coulson.

The family sued Skyline Healthcare and Schwartz, alleging that cost cutting at Hillview left Coulson without necessary care. Schwartz did not contest the case, and a judge in 2020 awarded nearly $19 million in damages. The family has never collected. Schwartz had relinquished all property in Arkansas by that time.

Another family sued after Zelma Grissom, a mother of six, died of sepsis from bedsores at the same facility. Her son LeVester Ivy recalled that one day a wound care nurse showed the family a severe pressure sore that had developed after Grissom had not been turned regularly.

“She started getting infection after infection,” Ivy recalled.

A judge ordered Schwartz to pay Grissom’s family $15.7 million. Schwartz has not paid the judgment.

U.S. District Judge Susan D. Wigenton said at sentencing that she could not understand why prosecutors had agreed to such a lenient sentence. She noted that it remained unclear where much of the money had gone and that “Not a single asset is in your name. Not one.”

Trump’s pardon wiped away Schwartz’s federal prison sentence and likely any IRS effort to recover the remaining stolen taxes. But it did not affect a separate Arkansas state conviction for Medicaid fraud and tax evasion.

The Arkansas Advocate reported that Schwartz owed the state nine months in prison and $1.8 million in restitution. A spokesman for Arkansas Attorney General Tim Griffin said last week that after making some payments, Schwartz owed about $1.2 million, which must be fully repaid by April 2027.

Schwartz reported to an Arkansas prison on December 29, creating an opportunity for lawyers representing families with judgments against him to serve him with court papers and compel him to answer questions under oath about his finances. But the window proved too brief. The Arkansas parole board released Schwartz after just three weeks.

Melissa Coulson said Trump’s pardon reinforced her belief that justice is not applied equally.

“Apparently he’s got money somewhere,” Coulson said. Her lawyer hopes to find it.

Greg Bovino is Locked Out of Gov Social Media Accounts

Greg Bovino is Locked Out of Gov Social Media Accounts

(José Niño, Headline USA) The Trump administration terminated three social media accounts that recently retired Border Patrol official Gregory Bovino had converted to his personal brand and declined to relinquish despite them being government property, the Washington Examiner reported.

Facebook, Instagram, and X accounts tied to the Border Patrol’s El Centro, California sector with a combined following of 850,000 users were closed down mid Thursday after functioning earlier that day, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

“Chief Patrol Agent Bovino has retired from federal service and no longer has access to official government social media accounts,” a CBP spokesperson wrote in an email to the Washington Examiner.

A senior Department of Homeland Security official verified that the department reclaimed the accounts on the first full day that Secretary Markwayne Mullin took charge.

Bovino was one of 20 chief patrol agents across the country who directed operations in their assigned regions. His role permitted him to upload pictures, videos, and text to the region’s accounts on Facebook, Instagram, and X once senior officials at CBP headquarters gave their approval.

The dispute originated in July 2025 when Bovino took a sizable contingent of Border Patrol agents from the El Centro Sector to Los Angeles, where they clashed with activists and rioters demonstrating against federal immigration operations. Bovino started sharing updates from Los Angeles while content about El Centro vanished from the accounts’ feeds.

He gained recognition for eye-catching social media videos showcasing his confrontational style in capturing suspected illegal aliens and boasting about his team’s accomplishments. The spectacles alarmed immigrant rights organizations, immigration lawyers, and even some conservatives who found the growing use of force and its celebration disturbing.

One source with knowledge of exchanges between Bovino, CBP, and DHS wrote that CBP Commissioner Rodney Scott “gave Bovino a direct order to return the pages/accounts names to reflect El Centro Sector and that new accounts would be created” for Bovino in his broader role.

“Bovino refused, arguing that the followers were his, he said he earned the followers and that his followers expected him to post from new cities,” the same person said. “It was all about Greg Bovino getting attention and nothing else.”

A separate DHS official recalled that “When Bovino took those accounts, they told him not to. He said, ‘Those are my followers, so I’m taking them with me.'”

Corey Lewandowski, Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign manager who worked under former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem as a special government employee, shielded Bovino from CBP’s attempts to recover its accounts.

“Corey prevented the Commissioner from taking any action against Bovino, so that just empowered Bovino and his ego even more,” a third official said.

Left without a way to inform the public about arrests and operations, the El Centro Sector launched three new accounts on each platform in early September. Those new accounts have accumulated just 11,000 followers compared to the 850,000 following Bovino commandeered.

Bovino was removed from Minneapolis in January after two fatal shootings of U.S. citizen activists by federal officers. He went back to California before retiring in late March.

During his last weeks, Bovino spoke with the New York Times, which published an extensive account from his viewpoint about directing Border Patrol operations across half a dozen “sanctuary” cities. At the time of the interview, Bovino’s name and his self designated title of commander at large still sat atop his trio of appropriated social media accounts.

Days afterward, those pages and Bovino’s recorded history on each profile had disappeared.

Eric Swalwell Demands FBI Not Release His Files

Eric Swalwell Demands FBI Not Release His Files

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) Embattled Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., who has long demanded that President Donald Trump release the Epstein files, now faces scrutiny as the FBI prepares to release documents tied to its investigation into his alleged ties to a Chinese intelligence operative.

The scrutiny comes after Swalwell demanded Monday that FBI Director Kash Patel refrain from declassifying the potentially damaging files, which could shed light on his relationship with Christine Fang, the suspected Chinese spy also known as “Fang Fang.”

On X, critics highlighted what they called blatant hypocrisy, pointing to Swalwell’s prior demands that Trump release the Epstein files.

One widely shared X post from July 2025 read, “Trump has the files. Why won’t HE release them,” in reference to the Epstein files.

On Sept. 25, Swalwell himself replied to a post from Patel, writing, “Blah blah blah. Where are the Epstein Files?”

On Oct. 7, Swalwell again pressed Patel, adding, “Where are the Epstein Files?”

Just 10 days later, Swalwell escalated further, branding House Speaker Mike Johnson the “pro-pedophile Speaker” and again demanding the Epstein files be released.

Swalwell conveyed his opposition in a cease-and-desist letter to Patel, urging that his own FBI files are not released.

“The congressman has never been accused of wrongdoing in that matter and your attempt to release the file is a transparent attempt to smear him and undermine his campaign for governor of California,” the letter said, as quoted by the leftist Washington Post.

It added, “Your actions threaten to expose you, others at the FBI, and the FBI itself to significant legal liability.”

The Post reported over the weekend that Patel had deployed agents to California to review the documents ahead of a potential public release.

The forthcoming release of the files could provide clarity on the FBI’s investigation into Swalwell’s early political career. He joined Congress in 2013 after serving three years on the Dublin City Council.

The probe centered on Fang’s alleged efforts to act as a Chinese intelligence operative by cultivating relationships with up-and-coming politicians.

Swalwell has not definitively denied having a sexual relationship with Fang. He purportedly cut off contact with her after being briefed by the FBI.

What Swalwell knew about Fang, and what he told the FBI, has largely remained speculative, but that could change if the files were released.

Kristi Noem’s Husband Exposed in Fetish Scandal

Kristi Noem’s Husband Exposed in Fetish Scandal

(José Niño, Headline USA) Bryon Noem, the husband of former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, has been revealed as a secret crossdresser who wore fake breasts and pink shorts while paying adult performers for explicit conversations, The Daily Mail reported.

As his wife oversaw critical national security matters at DHS, Bryon, 56, was dressing up and transferring money to women involved in the “bimbofication” scene, a fetish community where porn performers alter themselves to resemble real life Barbie dolls by injecting massive quantities of saline into their breasts.

The Daily Mail examined hundreds of messages with three women. Bryon showered their surgically altered bodies with compliments, expressed his fascination with “huge, huge ridiculous boobs,” and offered revealing remarks about his 34 year marriage to Kristi.

National security analysts cautioned that his activities may have exposed the former DHS secretary to blackmail risks.

“If a media organization can find this out, you can assume with a high degree of confidence that a hostile intelligence service knows this as well,” warned former CIA officer Marc Polymeropoulos.

Photos shared with his online contacts show Bryon in a flesh toned crop top and tight pink shorts, apparently with balloons stuffed beneath his shirt to mimic breasts. A separate image depicts him wearing form fitting green leggings and a white top stretched across two prominent bulges. His face is unmistakably visible in both pictures.

Text and WhatsApp exchanges show that Bryon received repeated requests for money throughout the 14 months Noem ran the country’s biggest federal law enforcement agency. He transferred at least $25,000 to his online contacts through Cash App and PayPal.

Jack Barsky, a former Soviet spy who became a US counterintelligence asset, told The Daily Mail the blackmail potential was disturbing.

“It’s astounding that somebody whose spouse is at that level has that kind of bad judgment,” he said.

Polymeropoulos concurred. “Damaging information like this can be a tantalizing lead for a hostile intelligence service. They approach the person and say, if you work with us we won’t expose this, and if you don’t, we will. That’s espionage 101.”

When the Daily Mail contacted Bryon by phone, he did not dispute having explicit exchanges or distributing photos of himself dressed as a woman. Asked whether he had made careless comments about his wife and potentially compromised national security, he answered, “Yeah, I made no comments like that, that would lead to that. I deny the second part of that.” He then ended the call.

“Mrs. Noem is devastated,” a spokesperson for the former DHS Secretary stated. “The family was blindsided by this. They ask for privacy and prayers at this time.”

Bryon operated under the pseudonym “Jason Jackson” when messaging the women, flattering their figures and pledging to worship them. A PayPal account registered to “Jason Jackson” made regular transfers ranging from $500 to $1,000.

One woman recounted accidentally pocket dialing him and hearing a voicemail message stating “Noem Insurance, leave a message.” A brief Google search returned photos of Kristi and Bryon Noem.

“I was completely shocked,” the woman said. “I said, ‘Why are you doing this?’ I didn’t think hot guys did this. He said he didn’t care. I thought, you should care – your wife could lose everything she’s ever worked for.”

The Daily Mail had previously reported on Kristi Noem’s alleged multi year affair with close advisor Corey Lewandowski. During a March 4 congressional hearing, California Democrat Sydney Kamlager Dove questioned the departing DHS Secretary about whether she had sexual relations with Lewandowski. Noem avoided a direct denial, instead firing back, “I am shocked that we’re going down and peddling tabloid garbage in this committee.”

When one of the women inquired about the affair allegations, Bryon responded, “I know. There’s nothing I can do about it.”

Trump dismissed Noem from the cabinet in March following bipartisan backlash over her management of the Minneapolis deportation operations during which two U.S. citizens were fatally shot by ICE agents. Markwayne Mullin has since taken over at DHS while Noem transitioned to special envoy for the Shield of the Americas initiative.

Pelosi Yet Again Compares Biden to LBJ 

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., appears to be trying once again to cozy up to Joe Biden, her former ally and the embattled former president, by publicly praising him and comparing him to Lyndon B. Johnson. 

Pelosi made the comparison during a softball interview with left-leaning MS Now correspondent Ali Vitali, published Tuesday. 

“I wonder if you factor in the way Biden’s campaign ended, when you think about your own legacy. I think that many people credit you or blame you for the way that campaign ended. And I wonder how you think about that now that some time has passed,” Vitali asked. 

Pelosi said in response, ‘“Well, I don’t know – how can I say this in a nice way? The Biden administration accomplished great things. People compared him to LBJ in terms of the amount of quality and quantity of accomplishments.” 

Pelosi went on to claim that while Biden had “achievements,” many people were unaware of them. She also said she had urged Biden’s campaign to diversify the polls they were using and ensure he was fit to serve another term. 

“They didn’t agree with that,” Pelosi recalled. 

Pelosi’s comments come after she publicly compared Biden to LBJ and Franklin Delano Roosevelt, both presidents celebrated for their Great Society and New Deal programs.
