White House Press Secretary Slams “Irresponsible Reporting” Linking White House Cocaine To The Bidens

by

The White House briefly went on lockdown on July 2 after a small bag of “white powder” was discovered in the Situation Room lobby. It was later discovered to be cocaine. However, unmarked bags of white powder are a jumpy subject in DC. Many Beltway veterans vividly remember the wave of notable anthrax attacks in the early 2000s. The President and First Lady were not in the White House at the time. They were in Delaware on a weekend away before overseeing the Fourth of July celebrations in the capital.

At the time, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre acknowledged that the Secret Service was investigating the incident. “It is under investigation by the Secret Service. This is in their purview. And so we’re going to allow certainly the investigation to continue.” However, Jean-Pierre still had to answer over two-dozen questions about the incident in the days after it was reported. Additionally, several news outlets took the opportunity to link the story to the well-publicized drug use of the President’s son, Hunter.

Jean-Pierre Shuts Down Questions Linking Cocaine To The Bidens

However, once again, right-wing outlets continued to chase the unsubstantiated idea that the cocaine somehow belonged to the First family themselves. “Can you just say once and for all whether or not the cocaine belonged to the Biden family?” asked Caitlin Doornbos of The New York Post. That led to Jean-Pierre making it very clear how she felt about that line of questioning. “We’ve answered this question, litigated this question for the last two days, exhaustively,” Jean-Pierre replied. “There has been some irresponsible reporting about the family, and so I’ve got to call that out here. And I have been very clear. I was clear two days ago when talking about this over and over again as I was being asked the question. So, to ask that question is actually incredibly irresponsible, and I’ll just leave it there,” Jean-Pierre said.

Partway through her answer, Jean-Pierre reiterated that the Biden family had left the White House for Delaware on June 30. Furthermore, they didn’t return to DC until July 4. The cocaine was discovered on July 2. Furthermore, the area in which was found sees a lot of foot traffic from staff, visitors, and civilian tour groups. However, that has not stopped Biden’s detractors from linking the dime bag to the President. “Does anybody really believe that the COCAINE found in the West Wing of the White House, very close to the Oval Office, is for the use of anyone other than Hunter & Joe Biden,” Donald Trump baselessly claimed on social media.

Pusha T Blamed For White House Cocaine (As A Joke)

by

Back in early June, government officials canvased an area of the White House where visitors are asked to leave their phones while in the President’s residence. They found a small amount of cocaine, causing Secret Services to investigate who might’ve brought the illegal substance in. However, they can simply turn to the hip-hop special detectives for one obvious suspect: Pusha-T.

The rapper from Virginia Beach visited the White House back during the Obama administration. And even though that was over seven years ago, Pusha fans were convinced the rapper was the culprit for stashing the goods in the heart of American politics. They even think this is good fodder for a new Pusha-T verse. Somebody commented, “This one is just absolutely teed up for an all-time @PUSHA_T bar.” While the accusations could be serious, the comment thread is anything but.

Pusha T’s History With White Powder

The rapper’s entire persona circles around “moving bricks.” Whether he’s actually done that before or does so presently is up for debate. But the name “Pusha T” is almost synonymous with cocaine. It’s pretty bad when Twitter “solves the case” with a picture of you by former President Barack Obama tagged to the original Tweet about the found stash, and people agree. Other hip-hop artists who have been linked to the presidential powder include Freddie Gibbs and the Griselda Big Three, also notorious hard drug fiends.

In other, actual Pusha T news, he’s been beefing with Jim Jones nonstop. There was a diss track that came out, but it turned out to be generated by artificial intelligence. Other than the current feud, Pusha and his musical comrade Pharrell have shown each other some love over the past few weeks. As far as actual music, there hasn’t been much from the Pusha camp. However, with this latest cocaine controversy, best believe he’ll keep this in his back pocket for a new song soon.

Angel Reese Hugs FLOTUS, Player Faints At Wild White House Visit

by

The day many thought might not happen finally arrived. There was always some doubt that LSU’s visit to the White House might not go ahead. Angel Reese, the team star and unofficial leader, very publicly beefed with the White House after comments made by Dr. Jill Biden. Reese went as far as to joke about visiting the Obamas instead before confirming that she would respect the team’s decision to visit the White House.

The first sports teams to be invited to the White House were two amateur baseball teams in 1865. It quickly became a tradition amongst professional teams. In 1976, the Indiana Hoosiers Men’s Basketball team became the first collegiate visitors to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. It has since become an annual tradition for collegiate champions to visit the President in the months after their title.

LSU Mark Memorable White House Visit

Of course, the final chapter of the LSU’s White House saga wouldn’t be complete without a little drama. During President Biden’s remarks, freshman forward Sa’Myah Smith fainted. She was immediately swarmed by her team as the live stream cut out. However, President Biden could be heard reassuring the crowd. Later, Biden apologized, “It’s a lot of standing,” Biden said. “I apologize. It’s OK. It’s happened lots of times.” A few minutes later, head coach Kim Mulkey gave a quick update on Smith. “As you can see, we leave our mark where we go,” Mulkey said. “Sa’Myah planned that. No, Sa’Myah is fine, for those of you who are concerned. I’ll assure you of that. … She doesn’t want to leave. She wants to stand with us but she needs to be checked out.”

Meanwhile, Dr. Biden and Angel Reese appeared to squash their beef. Reese presented the Bidens with a custom LSU jersey before embracing the first lady, Dr. Jill Biden. Dr. Biden had been the primary target of Reese’s wrath after the National Championship Game. This was due to Dr. Biden’s comments that appeared to imply that she intended to invite National Runners-up Iowa to the White House as well. However, the two appear to have no bad blood now.

Georgia Bulldogs Decline White House Invitation

The first sports teams to be invited to the White House were two amateur baseball teams in 1865. It quickly became a tradition amongst professional teams. In 1976, the Indiana Hoosiers Men’s Basketball team became the first collegiate visitors to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. It has since become an annual tradition for collegiate champions to visit the President in the months after their title.

However, the White House visit has become a major point of debate this year. Primarily, the discourse was sparked after LSU’s Angel Reese implied she wouldn’t accept the invitation. This came after Reese accused First Lady Jill Biden of disrespecting her and LSU. Dr. Biden had made comments implying she also wanted to invite National Runners-up Iowa. Reese eventually accepted and will visit with her teammates on May 26. However, a different college powerhouse has declined their invitation.

The Georgia Bulldogs are back-to-back D1 football champions. They are considered the team to beat in college football and saw numerous stars drafted into the NFL. However, they will not be visiting Joe Biden at the White House. The Georgia Athletic Association formally declined the June 12 invitation, stating that there was a scheduling conflict that could not be avoided. President Biden has designated June 12 “College Athlete Day”. Multiple teams and individuals from the world of college athletics will be in attendance.

“The University of Georgia first received on May 3 an invitation for the Bulldog football team to visit the White House on June 12. Unfortunately, the date suggested is not feasible given the student-athlete calendar and time of year. However, we are appreciative of the invitation and look forward to other opportunities for Georgia teams moving forward,” the statement read. Additional details about the nature of the conflict were not made available to the media. Restrictions relating to the COVID-19 pandemic also resulted in the Bulldogs not attending the White House after their 2022 National Championship. Here’s hoping the Bulldogs can three-peat so that their players finally get that trip to DC.

Chris Brown Says He's 'Single With a Girlfriend' on Respectfully Justin Premiere

So this will get a little wild. By now, I’m sure you have heard about the flying objects across North America that the U.S. is working to shoot down. The first was the Chinese Spy Balloon. The other three items are currently unknown.

The moment was so wild it led the White House Press Secretary to issue a statement against aliens. Yes, aliens.

In a presser on Monday, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre alerted citizens that there is “no indication of aliens or extraterrestrial activity” in the hovering objects.

“I just want to make sure we address this from the White House. I know there have been questions and concerns about this, but there is no, again, no indication of aliens or extraterrestrial activity with these recent takedowns,” Jean-Pierre said. “Wanted to make sure that the American people knew that, all of you knew that, and it is important for us to say that from here.”

Meaning, Will Smith will not have to turn into his Independence Day or Men in Black characters for America.

Now enter Chris Brown. He calls all of it cap. Breezy hit Instagram and stated that aliens have been here for a long and may even be your next door neighbor.

“I know this is hella random but don’t fall for the fake ufo/UAP FALSE FLAGS,” Brown wrote. “EXTRATERRESTRIALS HAVE BEEN VISITING US FOR A LONG TIME. Some live amongst us. We ARE THE ONLY DESTRUCTIVE SPECIES DOOMING OUR EXISTENCE DONT LET THEM RUN WITH THIS NARRATIVE.. just say I’m crazy BUT ALSO MAKE YOUR OWN JUDGMENTS.”

You can see his full statement below. You rolling with Breezy or the government?

Biden Administration Denies Aliens Were Behind Multiple UFOs Spotted In North America

by

Many North Americans were tuning into this past weekend’s Super Bowl. Elsewhere, others were feeling rising anxiety over the increasing number of UFOs appearing over the continent this month. It all began with the Chinese spy balloon, which was previously shot down under President Joe Biden’s orders. Since then, three more unidentified aerial items have been shot down across Canada and the U.S.

The most recent was first spotted on Saturday (February 11) over Michigan’s Great Lakes. Authorities were quick to remove it, announcing that airspace in the area was shut down on Sunday. The UFO was apparently a potential risk to human air travel, resulting in its removal.

As the news continues to spread, many have been speculating about the potential of alien involvement. In fact, even NORAD Commander and General, Glen Van Herck, has said that he’s “not ruling out the possibility of extraterrestrial activity.” However, on Monday (February 13), the White House made attempts to shut down this narrative in a press conference.

Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre made it clear that the Biden Administration does not believe otherworldly creatures are to blame for the sudden UFO surge. “There is no indication of aliens or extra-terrestrial activity with these recent takedowns. Again, there is no indication of aliens or terrestrial activity with these recent takedowns,” she explicitly stated.

The speaker acknowledged that the White House is aware of the circulating theories. Still, they remain sure that this isn’t an E.T.-related incident. However, as TMZ notes, Jean-Pierre – or National Security who spoke after her – were able to provide clear answers regarding the aerial objects.

During his time on the podium, NSK spokesman John Kirby explained that the U.S. still hasn’t been able to properly assess their latest finds. At this time, the process of collecting material from the discovery location and subsequently studying it is still unfolding. The details he could provide reveal that the latest UFOs “had no discernable communication systems, no propulsion systems and no real maneuvering capabilities.”

The mysterious creations also had no passengers when they went down. The government says they’re not balloon-type crafts, like the Chinese balloon was, though they can’t find an accurate way to describe them just yet. As lawmakers continue to demand answers, Biden has authorized an inter-agency team. This brings the State Department, Defense Department, and Office of National Intelligence together for further investigation on the matter.

Do you think the Biden Administration is being honest about the lack of alien involvement in the UFOs? Sound off in the comments, and check back later for any updates.
