Biden forgot the date of January 6th, even though he says it every third sentence.

President Joe Biden suffered yet another gaffe Thursday as he mixed up the date of the Jan. 6 riots during a glitzy fundraiser hosted by Hollywood stars Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones at their Westchester home.

Biden, the oldest-ever US president at 81, made the blunder as he ripped his Republican rival, former President Donald Trump, 77, in front of the star-studded crowd.

"We'll certainly never forget the dark days of June 6, January 6th, excuse me," the commander-in-chief said, according to a White House pool report.

Biden's chief of strategy tried to gently encourage Karine Jean-Pierre to leave the job she is so horribly incompetent at, but she was too fucking stupid to take the hint.

De facto White House communications chief Anita Dunn, 66, the wife of Biden personal attorney Bob Bauer, told colleagues she had decided to call in prominent Democrats to explain to Jean-Pierre, 49, that the time was ripe to move on, sources told The Post.

"There was an effort to have some outside folks who Karine knows and trusts talk to her about why leaving last fall would have made a lot of sense for her and her career," the source said, calling it an "effort to encourage her to move along."

Jean-Pierre, the person added, "had been in the job for a year and a half at that point, which is a pretty standard tenure for a press secretary in what is admittedly a very demanding job [and] Jeff and Anita [tried] to have folks that she would listen to and trust talk to her about why it might be wise to do that."

Jean-Pierre's predecessor, Jen Psaki, was press secretary for one week shy of 16 months before leaving to take a job as a host and analyst at MSNBC.

A second source told The Post that "Jeff [Zients] and Anita [Dunn] were trying to find Karine a graceful exit" because of the ugly optics of removing her against her will.

"There's a huge diversity issue and they're afraid of what folks are going to say," added this source, who said they learned of the effort from multiple people briefed by Dunn and confirmed at least one person from outside the administration did speak with Jean-Pierre.

The revelation of Dunn's plan is likely to make for awkward workplace dynamics, the first source said, but is unlikely to result in Jean-Pierre's departure.

"She has been pretty consistent in telling people from the minute she got the job that she was going to stay through the election," they said.

"I think Karine has decided to stay come hell or high water and that's that."

CNN's ratings disaster Poppy Harlow is bright enough to take the hint.

Veteran CNN host Poppy Harlow is leaving the struggling cable news network -- two months after the cancellation of "CNN This Morning," where a slew of on-air meltdowns had sparked last year's ouster of Don Lemon.

Republicans want the IRS to look into Chinese funding of anti-Israel protests and riots.

Oh, and China is also behind "Green Energy" propaganda, to cripple the country.

House lawmakers called on the IRS to investigate U.S.-based anti-Israel activist groups that have financial links to China, according to a letter obtained by the Washington Free Beacon on Wednesday.

Members of the House Ways and Means Committee said they are concerned that "foreign adversaries are taking advantage of loopholes to impact American political activity with little-to-no transparency."

The letter follows reports connecting the Chinese government to a network of U.S.-based nonprofit groups.

The People's Forum, a group that helped organize anti-Israel walkouts in New York City public schools, is bankrolled by Chinese propagandist and tech mogul Neville Roy Singham, the New York Times reported last year. The organization encouraged student protesters to shout anti-Semitic chants, such as "from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free," a slogan that calls for the elimination of the Jewish state.

"Not only do these activities raise serious national security concerns, but they also raise questions about whether organizations like this receive foreign funding from America's adversaries and whether the Internal Revenue Service ('IRS') is conducting oversight of entities like these," wrote the lawmakers in a letter to IRS commissioner Daniel Werfel.

The letter also raised concerns about other China-linked political groups. The Energy Foundation, a U.S.-based nonprofit that promotes climate change activism, operates primarily out of China and has significant ties to the government, Fox News reported in December.

The Energy Foundation has pushed for U.S. green energy policies that would benefit China, which dominates the global solar energy and battery industries.

Hamas and Iran are, get this, big fans of anti-Israel (and anti-Jew) protests on American "college" campuses.

An official with the Palestinian terror group Hamas and the supreme leader of Iran have praised the growing college campus protests in the United States against Israel's military offensive in Gaza, including pro-Hamas demonstrations at Columbia University that have driven fear into the hearts of Jewish students.

Columbia University in New York City announced a shift to hybrid classes after protestors set up a "Gaza Solidarity Encampment" last Wednesday. This led to the arrest of more than 100 people after Columbia University President Minouche Shafik authorized police to clear the camp. The demonstrators resettled the encampment, and there have been multiple reports of Jewish members of Columbia's community feeling unsafe due to the encampment.

The demonstration has prompted calls for the Biden administration to take away the school's federal funding and discipline the demonstrators, which some say should include revoking the visas of the students expressing support for terrorist groups.

Um, obviously. Stupid American brats have the right to chant "Death to America" in America. Nasty terrorist foreigners do not. Being here is a privilege, not a right.

Oh what am I talking about, The Regime has decided that every f*cking foreigner in the world has an inalienable right to mob up in America.

On Wednesday, Izzat Al-Risheq, a member of Hamas' political bureau, accused the Biden administration of violating student and faculty rights, claiming that they are only rejecting "the genocide that our Palestinian people are the subjected in the Gaza Strip at the hands of the neo-Nazi Zionists."

USA Today quoted the Hamas official as saying, "Today's students are the leaders of the future."

Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei also praised the protests.

"Western governments say the Resistance Front is terrorism," Khamenei wrote in a tweet. "This comes at a time when people flew Hezbollah's flag in a street in the US. The people of the world are supporting the Resistance Front because they are resisting & because they are against oppression."

Khamenei's "oppression" comment comes as the Islamic Republic of Iran has a notorious record for infringing on the rights of religious minorities through imprisonment. Iran also used lethal force to crack down on widespread protests in 2022.

Remember during the Iraq War when Bill Kristol would attack anyone questioning the war as giving support to terrorists?

He's not saying that anymore, is he?

Iran is begging students to stop Israel's war against its proxies. Half of Hez'ballah's commanders have been exterminated in the Hez'ballah stronghold of south Lebanon.

Israeli counterstrikes have killed "half of Hezbollah's commanders in southern Lebanon," Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant revealed on April 24. Gallant's remarks came as Israel launched an unusually intense wave of bombing sorties against the Iran-backed terrorist group's forces in southern Lebanon. "These were the men responsible for belligerent actions, for the drive to strike at the citizens of the State of Israel," Gallant said during a visit to Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Northern Command. The other half, he added, "are in hiding and abandoning southern Lebanon in the face of IDF actions."

Gallant signaled that Israel could escalate to a ground operation if mediated diplomatic efforts to get Hezbollah to withdraw from the border failed. "Our main objective was and remains to bring about a different security situation here and for residents of the northern State of Israel to be able to go back home to quiet and safety," Gallant said, referring to some 80,000 civilians evacuated from border communities. "The coming period will be decisive in this regard."

Crush those cockroaches.

Google fired another 20 of its disruptive pro-terrorist "workers," after firing 28 previously.

Google has fired more employees who were involved in protests over the tech company's cloud computing contract with the Israeli government. The workers held sit-ins at the company's offices in California and New York over Google's $1.2 billion contract to provide custom tools for Israeli's military.

Google has fired more employees who were involved in protests over the tech company's cloud computing contract with the Israeli government. The workers held sit-ins at the company's offices in California and New York over Google's $1.2 billion contract to provide custom tools for Israeli's military.

Google has fired an additional 20 employees who participated in a protest last week against the company's defense contract with the Israeli government.

This brings the total number of employees laid off due to the protest to 50, according to the group that organized the demonstrations, No Tech for Apartheid.

My count is 48 total but you know, Hamas sympathizers tend to inflate numbers, don't they?

Jane Chung, a spokesperson for the group, said some of the dismissed employees were "nonparticipating bystanders" during the sit-in protests held on April 16 at Google's offices in Sunnyvale and New York. The group labeled the tech giant's action as an "aggressive and desperate act of retaliation."

The media rule: If rightwingers get into a scuffle with cops, they "attacked hardworking policemen."

If leftwingers attack cops, write that there were "clashes with police." It's just a case of mutual combat -- no bad guys, no good guys, just all misunderstandings all around.
