Those few senators still interested in repairing the tattered confirmation process should resurrect this strategy. Lincoln Brown is a former talk show host who hosted "The Lincoln Brown Show" in Utah. He is also an ex-wildland firefighter, truck driver, bartender, HazMat responder, and columnist whose work has appeared in Townhall.com and The Hill. He also holds a Master’s Degree in Theological Studies. On the scale of things that the Biden administration has done to give us ulcers, this one rates relatively low. But it is a reminder of what we have been dealing with the past four years and what we can expect from four more.

And what we have seen since then, as I was speaking about before with respect to the provision and facilitation of humanitarian assistance, has been a significant difference. But the administration will be well represented at that event. So, I can’t speak specifically to these reports, how they relate to Israel’s future military operations, because I’ve only seen them kind of written in the newspaper. I haven’t yet seen what exactly they’re referring to. So, sort of setting aside the question of Rafah for the moment, which is a hard question to set aside, there’s going to be a significant amount of humanitarian activity in Khan Younis regardless, as there can and should be in Gaza City as well as we get more aid to the north. Until recently, as we’ve said on many occasions, we were unable to provide these ATACMS because of readiness concerns.

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre says the U.S. Office of Special Counsel's finding that she violated the Hatch Act is "retroactive," adding that she was "given the green light to actually say the comments that I made." She is seen here during Wednesday's daily briefing at the White House. “I witnessed Jeff and Anita coming pretty hard to Karine’s defense after [the January Axios report on Kirby wanting to call on reporters himself] and asking others to do the same,” said one Democrat who supports the press secretary.

And part of our job is to ensure that we are working across all of these theaters at once. And that’s precisely what we’re doing each day. But the details of that are something that are being discussed among the — the operational agencies, and I don’t want to share too much of that publicly at this time.

Column: Did Newsom give Democrats a glimpse of a younger, robust alternative to Biden?

You know, President Biden spoke with Prime Minister Netanyahu a little more than two weeks ago. And others had told us the challenges of malnutrition and potential famine were most acute. But as I’ve said before at this podium — and as you’ve heard from Secretary Austin, the Chairman, and other senior military officials — there is no silver bullet in this conflict. One capability is not going to be the ultimate solution. It is an amalgam of capabilities that come together and combine with the bravery and skill of Ukraine’s fighters that’s going to make the difference in this conflict. And that’s because of the deep reservoir of support there is for Ukraine.

Moving forward, expect us to continue leaning in on our successful strategies like these and like our parole program for Venezuela nationals, which has drastically reduced the number of Venezuelans attempting to enter unlawfully. And we’ll continue to drive messaging in the region to counter disinformation from smugglers. So that’s another thing that we — you know, we have to keep an eye on, is how the misinformation that’s going to be going out to smugglers in the next couple of days. And so we have to make sure — we will work together with all of you, our team will, to make sure that that doesn’t happen, because that is one of the big issues that we’re seeing when it comes to migrants trying to cross the border.

As president, he has to do multiple things at once. And that’s what you saw him do this weekend. We also will continue to take steps to pursue a humane, orderly border policy. And we will work with the Congress in the weeks ahead to continue to get the resource that we — resources we need to be able to do that. And without getting into the specifics of safe passage for civilians and so forth, I will say it’s something that the U.S. government is seized with in supporting how we do that operationally.

But certainly, we’re not going to talk about steps or any conversations in public because we want to make sure that we get this done. And the work that the President has done, he wants to do this in a bipartisan way. But what we’re seeing is Republicans continue to move forward with political stunts. And we continue to see this over the last several months.

You know, flu is rising in many parts of the country, with probably the worst flu outbreak we’ve seen in a decade. There — and there are some places where may- — flu may be peaking, but it’s very early data. RSV, nationally, looks like it has clearly peaked and is on its way down. There are still places that have a very high levels of RSV. You’re still — but — but, nationally, there’s no question in my mind that RSV is heading down.

Tomorrow, the President will visit and speak at a town hall at the — at the Major Joseph R. Beau Biden III National Guard Reserve Center in New Castle, Delaware. And thanks to the President, our administration has invested $432 million in getting the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline up and running in communities across the country, an 18-fold increase in investment from the previous administration. Second is, while we — as I have mentioned from here before — while we took a lot of the resources we had for tests to purchase vaccines and treatments, we still had some resources left; we didn’t use — deplete the whole supply. And so we had money in the American Rescue Plan to still be able to buy some more tests.

The sources agreed that Dunn does not appear to harbor any ill will toward Jean-Pierre, with many suggesting that the encouragement that the press secretary shift to an outside role was meant to be a long-term boost to Jean-Pierre that plays more to her strengths. Kirby, who is widely respected by journalists as a valuable source of both information and soundbites, has requested to pick out who asks him questions at briefings, but Jean-Pierre has not agreed to allow him to do so. In December, not long after word of Dunn’s plan circulated in the White House, Jean-Pierre received and rejected an unsolicited offer to become president of EMILYs List, a major Democratic group that raises money for female candidates who support expanded abortion rights. “She doesn’t have a grasp of the issues and doesn’t spend the time to learn,” this person said. The source also told The Post that Dunn had claimed White House chief of staff Jeff Zients knew about and supported the cloak-and-dagger scheme to push Jean-Pierre out of the West Wing. WASHINGTON — Top aides to President Biden secretly hatched a plan this past fall to replace White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre by recruiting outside allies to nudge her out the door, The Post has learned.

And, you kn- — so, we know how focused he’s been on — on what has happened. He’s shown his leadership over the h- — the horrific events over the weekend in Israel. If you have any further questions, certainly I would refer you to Department of Justice or the White House Counsel to ask any detailed information. Right now, we have Americans who are being held hostage by Hamas in Gaza. Bringing those Americans home from Iran was a high priority — from Afghanistan, from Venezuela, from other places as well.

To me, that is suggestive of a high level of preparation and organization which I would count as a core competency in that line of work. I would also imagine that Ms. McEnany curated the contents of that binder as well. All of that due to the fact that she is one smart cookie.

And then, third, the United States is building up our capacity to support Ukraine. For example, we’re investing in our own domestic production of 155-millimeter artillery rounds. Since the start of this conflict, we’ve more than doubled our monthly production of 155. By the end of this year, we will have doubled it again.

The administration remains committed to supporting schools and the students they serve. Look, the President was — was very much engaged in showing his — his leadership and also how we’re continue — we’re going to continue to support Israel. And that’s going to certainly — we’re going to — that’s how we’re going to move forward. As the President just said, what we’ve seen from Ha- — Hamas these past few days was the same evil and barbarity that we’ve seen from ISIS. The unspeakable horrors they perpetrated on innocent people — women, children, the elderly, babies — these were the scenes we saw in Iraq and Syria as ISIS rampaged through.
