Vogue magazine drew heavy criticism this week for featuring First Lady Jill Biden as its August cover girl after her husband, President Joe Biden, suffered what was widely regarded as a failed debate performance against Donald Trump. 

The first lady spoke with the magazine from Camp David days after last week’s debate, vowing that she and Joe Biden would continue to fight. She did not directly respond to criticism of her husband’s debate performance, but she said he “will always do what’s best for the country.”

According to figures on both the left and the right, however, what is best for the country is for the 81-year-old president to step down — for his own sake and the nation’s.

Conservative commentator Katie Pavlich, who has 1 million followers on X, posted the glitzy magazine’s fawning cover. “This is something else,” Pavlich said reacting to the feature story.

This is something else:

“I If you want to know what power feels like, try to get yourself driven around in a motorcade. Flashing police chaperone lights form a perimeter as you blaze down an empty highway, waiting cars backed up on entry ramps as you pass. It’s as if the world… https://t.co/MLyqyEbe2d

“Her lust for power is on full display. She’s not even ashamed,” Jenna Ellis, a conservative radio host and lawyer, said in response to Pavlich’s tweet.

The former FBI general counsel who pushed Twitter to censor the Hunter Biden laptop story is now working with a left-wing election influencers’ group. 

James Baker, also prominent for his role in pushing the FBI’s political persecution of former President Donald Trump for the “Russiagate” hoax, is listed as a member of the National Task Force on Election Crises. The group is a subsidiary of the left-wing Protect Democracy Project, a litigation group formed to oppose Trump’s policies, according to InfluenceWatch.

The task force pushes early and mail-in voting, claims to help prevent “cyber or other attacks by foreign adversaries or domestic disrupters,” promotes “pre-canvassing of absentee ballots,” seeks to discourage legal election challenges, and advocates for censorship of certain online speech about elections.  

Working for the Regime

Baker’s key areas of expertise, according to the group’s website, are “legal and legislative issues,” “political violence and intimidation,” “foreign and cyber interference,” and “election subversion.”

Baker certainly knows about “legal issues.” While serving as the FBI’s lead counsel, he met with Michael Sussmann — who he later admitted was a “friend” — and who provided “intel” supposedly proving connections between the Trump Organization and Alfa Bank, a Russian company. Sussmann claimed he was acting on his own behalf, though he was later found to have been working for Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign.

Baker should also know about “political violence and intimidation,” considering that he prompted the FBI to investigate Trump using Sussmann’s faulty information. He also told Congress Sussmann’s lie

A former employee of BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee (BCBST) was awarded a nearly $700,000 settlement Friday after she was fired for refusing the Covid-19 vaccine. 

Tanja Benton, the plaintiff, submitted a religious exemption when BCBST forced a vaccine mandate on its employees in August 2021. A Tennessee federal jury found “by a preponderance of evidence that her [plaintiff] refusal to receive the Covid vaccination was based upon sincerely held religious belief.” 

The Plaintiff had submitted her religious exemption to BCBST in September 2021 and was fired in November of that year.

“Specifically, Plaintiff firmly believes, based upon personal research, that all COVID-19 vaccines are derived from aborted fetus cell lines,” Benton’s lawsuit reads. “Because of her sincerely held religious beliefs concerning abortion, Plaintiff cannot in good conscience consume the vaccine, which would not only defile her body but also anger and dishonor God.”

Benton’s lawsuit also cited the nature of her job as a biostatistical research scientist with BCBST as solitary; she infrequently met with clients and was able to successfully work remotely.

“Plaintiff’s job rarely involved direct interaction with clients,” the lawsuit reads. “In fact, approximately one percent (25 hours) of her total annual working hours (2,080 hours) involved client interaction.” 

Benton was an employee of BCBST for 16-plus years before her termination. Before the vaccine mandate, Benton had worked remotely for over a year and a half amid pandemic lockdown orders.

“Plaintiff conducted all client meetings by remote means,” the lawsuit reads. “No client expressed any concerns or problems about remote interactions, nor did any client express a desire for Plaintiff to have
