Digging into those WH visits

On Monday, the White House press corps demanded that press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre (KJP) explain why Dr. Kevin Cannard (photo below), a prominent neurologist specializing in Parkinson’s disease, had visited the White House repeatedly since February 2023. Dr. Cannard practices at Walter Reed Medical Center.

She refused to even acknowledge that he had been near the place, citing “security reasons”, despite the fact that the visitor logs are not just public, but easily accessed via the internet. Depending on which news story you read, the number of times Cannard visited the White House varies. The president’s annual physicals are conducted at Walter Reed Hospital in February. According to KJP, Biden has only been examined by a neurologist at the hospital during those physicals. She refused to name the neurologist.

Peter Doocy says in the video above that the White House Visitor Logs are a matter of public record. I certainly had no trouble finding them. I went to https://www.whitehouse.gov/disclosures/visitor-logs/ and did a simple search for Dr. Cannard’s name. At first, I thought there were ten visits, but then I realized two had the same date with slightly different, but overlapping start times. I eliminated that one, leaving the nine I show above. Below, I go into more detail, also showing what is in the drop downs for each item.

????? Every visitor entry says the meetings ended at 23:59. ?????

  1. November 15, 2022: The appointment began less than two hours after it was made. Dr. Cannard met with Dr. Joshua Simmons in the White House Residence Clinic. Dr. Joshua Simmons is an emergency medical specialist at Walter Reed. N.b., Biden was at the G-20 in Indonesia that day; also, the White House Residence Clinic provides care for many more people than just President Biden. I googled “White House Residence Clinic” and found only the “White House Medical Unit” which is staffed by the military and located on the first floor of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. It operates much like an urgent care facility. Given the fast response time by this noted specialist, perhaps someone important needed to be examined without the press seeing him/her leave the White House and enter Walter Reed.
  2. July 28, 2023: The appointment was made on July 11. Dr. Cannard met with Megan Nasworthy in the White House Residence Clinic beginning at 8 am. Megan Nasworthy is a liaison between Walter Reed Medical Center and the White House. She coordinates primary care for Biden.
  3. August 25, 2023: The appointment was made a month prior, on July 26, two days before Dr. Cannard met with Nasworthy on July 28. Dr. Cannard met with Megan Nasworthy in the White House Residence Clinic beginning at 8 am.
  4. September 1, 2023: The appointment was made on August 30, just five days after the previous appointment. Dr. Cannard met with Megan Nasworthy in the White House Residence Clinic beginning at either 7:30 am or 8:00 am. (This one is listed twice. I left off the second one.)
  5. October 13, 2023: The appointment was made on October 3. Dr. Cannard met with Megan Nasworthy in the White House Residence Clinic beginning at 8:30 am.
  6. November 17, 2023: The appointment was made on November 8. Dr. Cannard met with Megan Nasworthy in the White House Residence Clinic beginning at 8:00 am.
  7. January 17, 2024: The appointment was made on January 12. Dr. Cannard met with four people. The visitee of record was Dr. Kevin O’Connor, the president’s personal physician. One news report says one of the other people was a cardiologist.
  8. January 26, 2024: The appointment was made the day before. Dr. Cannard met with Megan Nasworthy in the White House Residence Clinic beginning at 9:00 am. On Tuesday, KJP told reporters that this meeting had nothing to do with Biden. Now, she says that, in fact, this was when Biden underwent an extremely detailed neurological exam that (allegedly) did not show any signs of cerebellar or other central neurological disorder. I added the “(allegedly)” since she had just lied about this the day before.
  9. March 28, 2024: The date and time the appointment was made is blank. Dr. Cannard (photo below) met with Megan Nasworthy in the White House Residence Clinic beginning at 8:00 am.

BIDENOMICS: Dementia Joe says we have the “best economy ever!” Since there have been record breaking numbers of bankruptcies filed this year, I’m thinking he means “We’re on track to destroy America and hand it all over to the ChiComs.” (BTW, that NY Post cover is three years old.)

DOD: An anti-terrorism brief was held at Fort Liberty (formerly Fort Bragg) yesterday. The slide above was shown right after a slide about ISIS. Zoom in to learn how to recognize members of the terrorist threat that is believing that the lives of unborn human babies have a right to protection under the law. The cruel irony of this garbage being presented at Fort Liberty is not lost on me.

EAGLES: [0:17] – “Some experts believe that eagles lock their talons as a way to establish dominance or defend their territory. Others suggest that this behavior is a form of courtship, with the eagles engaging in a type of aerial dance to attract a mate.”

GERMANY: A news channel known for opposing globalist efforts (e.g., compulsory masks, compulsory vaccination, climate hysteria) has had eight of its bank accounts in Germany and Austria shut down. It still has one account available in a Hungarian bank.

MICHIGAN: Gov. “Jackboots” Whitmer signed new legislation to make it a lot harder for anyone to question election results. Way to protect democracy, Gretch.

THE PHILIPPINES: In May 2024, the national House of Representatives regarding the 43% rise in the nation’s mortality rate (i.e., 290,000 excess deaths) since the roll-out of the COVID “vaccine” (i.e., experimental gene therapy). One analyst revealed the nation’s last normal year for birth rates was 2019. Since then, the number of babies born each year has declined. Congressman Dan S. Fernandez admitted, “We’ve been a part of that mistake because we approved the law that mandates the pharmaceutical to be responsible. And now we learn from that mistake.”

USPS: Postage is going up by 7.8% on the 14th and I don’t recall it ever jumping by so much in one go. AND it’s the second time in 2024! New prices below.

Domestic Mail: Postcards 56¢. First Class 73¢ per oz. Extra ounce 28¢.

2024: Jill is digging in her heels, but that’s not the only speed bump in the way of Democrats replacing Dementia Joe on the 2024 presidential ballot. The Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project is reportedly preparing to go to war to PREVENT President Joe Biden from dropping out of this year’s presidential election. And there are laws in some states to bolster their efforts.

  1. In Wisconsin, a candidate cannot be removed from the ballot unless they die.
  2. In Nevada, changes cannot be made to the ballot after 5:00 pm on the fourth Friday in June of said election year unless the “nominee dies or is adjudicated insane or mentally incompetent.”
  3. In Georgia, if the president were to withdraw from the ballot less than 60 days (September 6) before the presidential election, his name would still remain on the ballot, though none of the votes would be counted (which would be very beneficial for former President Donald Trump).

Wisconsin (10 electoral votes), Nevada (6 electoral votes) and Georgia (16 electoral votes) are all swing states.

In other news, Nikki Haley announced today that she is releasing her 97 delegates to former President Donald Trump.

Meanwhile, Dementia Joe is claiming that the polls underestimated him in 2020 and the same thing is happening in 2024. The opposite is true. CLICK https://x.com/ForecasterEnten/status/1810319519275221034 [3:44] for a reality check from CNN.

Aaaaaand, CLICK https://x.com/CollinRugg/status/1810385235047313680 [:23] to hear both Karine Jean-Pierre and John Kirby refer to President Biden’s upcoming press conference as a “Big Boy press conference.”

CALIFORNICATION: Pedo-loving Dems are fighting a proposed bill that would make it a felony to solicit a minor for sex. In California, it is currently only a misdemeanor, which tells you bunches about the pervs running the Land of Nuts and Berries.

CHICAGO: Over 100 people were shot in Chicago last weekend; 18 of them died. CLICK https://x.com/greg_price11/status/1810405202085949612 [:41] to hear the mayor of this Democrat stronghold blame Richard Nixon.

DEFUND THE POLICE: [1:48] – It was only after a video of the mass looting was shared with the department that it was raised to a Priority 1 and an officer was sent to the store nine hours after the robbery began.

SWEDEN: Two Afghani immigrants, aged 16, raped a 13-year-old girl at knife point, threatening to murder her if she resisted. They filmed the attack on a mobile phone and left ample evidence, including DNA. On July 2, they were both found guilty of aggravated rape against a child, offensive photography, child pornography, and additional assaults against two other girls. They were sentenced to 22 months COMBINED of “youth care and supervision” to be completed … not behind bars, but “in the community.”

VOTER FRAUD: The U.S. House of Representatives is considering a bill that would make American citizenship a requirement in order to vote in federal elections. The Biden administration is opposed because … get this … they claim it would make it “much harder for all eligible Americans to register to vote and increase the risk that eligible voters are purged from voter rolls.”

Boeing in the news … again

In 2021, after two crashes of Boeing 737 Max 8 airplanes, the DOJ charged the company with defrauding the U.S. government, then gave Boeing three years, until Jan. 7, 2024, to comply with new safety obligations in order to avoid charges.

Boeing picked the plea deal, which must be approved by a federal judge in order to take effect. If it is approved, it will only shield Boeing from any wrongdoing before the 737 Max crashes in 2018 and 2019. The company will still be on the hook for incidents since then, including the Alaska Airlines incident.

On Jan. 5, 2024, just two days before the deferred prosecution agreement would have expired, an Alaska Airlines door panel on a Boeing 737 Max 9 blew off midair. On May 14, 2024, the DOJ ruled the incident put Boeing in violation of the agreement and gave the company the choice to plead guilty and pay a fine or face a trial.

The Boeing story is just the latest example of our justice system’s double standard. In 2021, the federal government fined Boeing for $243.6 million over airline crashes in which 346 people died. This week’s plea deal demands Boeing cough up another $243.6 million for failing to complete the safety changes within the three year grace period given in 2021. In that time, Boeing’s planes have had so many mishaps that the company has become a meme-worthy by-word for accidents waiting to happen.

By contrast, Trump was ordered to pay $355 million in fines over made up crimes for which there were no victims. The lenders said they did not believe they had been defrauded and Trump paid back all the loans as he had promised. But the DOJ is run by DemocRATS who don’t believe that justice should be blind.

In other news, the FAA has ordered inspections of the passenger oxygen mask system on more than 2,600 Boeing 737 series airplanes. The passenger oxygen generators are reportedly shifting because of a failure of pressure-sensitive adhesive material that holds them in place. In the event of a loss of cabin pressure, the problem could result in passengers having no oxygen.

The clip stops before we got to see what happened with the brown woman who was next.

KAMALA: [5:16] – She’s right about one thing … we’re not like her. We’re also not like Whoopi Goldberg who said of Biden, “I don’t care if he’s pooped his pants. I don’t care if he can’t put a sentence together. Show me he can’t do the job and then I’ll say, ‘Okay, maybe it’s time to go.’” Oh, I dunno. If he’s pooped his pants, hasn’t he already shown you it was time to go?

NEW YORK SUCKS: Vitacost just refused to refill the Vitamin C I’ve been using for years, because they can no longer ship it to my stupid blue state. I googled and found out it’s because I need to be “protected” from green tea extract. Why, you ask? Because it’s used in weight loss products. If I was over 18, I could buy it. But, you know, that would require a signature, which would make shipping cost more. Argh!

THE WORMS TURN: Far left Axios just published a story entitled “Scoop: How Biden’s event staffers guide him behind the scenes.” Graphic caption is “Documents prepared by White House staff to aid President Biden at an event which were sent to other staff as a template for how to prepare for future events. Screenshots: Obtained by Axios.

Their source told them that, before a presidential event, the White House provides Biden with full page photos of important policy details to cover … like how to walk to and from the podium and the view he will have from the podium.

TIN FOIL HATS: Months ago, Alex Berenson reported that a Parkinson’s expert had visited the White House at least nine times since June 2023. The New York Slime just put out the same story.

TITLE IX: A Mississippi district judge has ruled that the federal government can’t enforce its reinterpretation of Title IX protections to include gender identity revisions.

VAXXX: [:38] – In June, Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach filed a lawsuit against Pfizer alleging the company “misled the public that it had a ‘safe and effective’ COVID-19 vaccine.” Four other states have since joined the effort.

The left continues to protect Big Pharma at the expense of human lives. After Christine Niles truthfully reported on the fact that five states are suing Pfizer, YouTube removed her video, charging her with “medical misinformation.”

2024: The Donald has challenged FAUXTUS to another debate, but this time one without rules.

In other news, some of President Biden’s top donors have latched on to a “Star Wars” analogy aimed at keeping nervous supporters from defecting: President Biden is like Yoda — old and frail yet wise and influential — whereas Donald Trump is like Jabba the Hutt, a gluttonous and powerful gangster.

2024: Project 2025 is being organized by The Heritage Foundation. See the first link below. The graphic is from the second link. The following is from the third link:

In a post on Truth Social, Trump said, “I know nothing about Project 2025. I have no idea who is behind it. I disagree with some of the things they’re saying and some of the things they’re saying are absolutely ridiculous and abysmal. Anything they do, I wish them luck, but I have nothing to do with them.” 

BIDENOMICS: The Economist tweeted the cover of its latest issue (graphic above) under “The presidential debate was awful for Joe Biden, but the cover-­up has been worse. The dishonesty of his campaign provokes contempt. He must withdraw.

Not The Bee notes, “Of course, The Economist itself covered up Biden’s condition until the moment it was impossible to do otherwise. But watching the Left attacking each other? So, so sweet.

Also at my #1 news source, Not The Bee, “Ladies and gentlemen, the housing market is in full Bidenomics recovery mode — and by that I mean it’s not recovering in the slightest.” As of May, there are 481,000 new homes sitting on the market without buyers, the highest level since 2008.

FAUXTUS: I have heard noises that top Democrat leaders like Nancy Pelosi are proposing evicting Dementia Joe via the 25th Amendment. I have to wonder if they are threatening it to get him to drop out of the race.

SCAM BAIT: I got this weirdly amusing email today. The attachment claims to be from Norton. I will not be opening it.

GRAMMY NOTES: Firefox has a new feature that I am loving. The graphic shows the review checks from two products that helped seal the deal for me. The product with reliable reviews costs more, but I expect it will be more than worth it when I don’t have to futz around with the junky one.
