On Monday, Joe Biden traveled to Ukraine. Not to be outdone on foreign travel, First Lady Jill Biden is now departing for a trip to Africa.

Neither of them have visited Ohio or even said any comforting words for the Americans who are suffering there.

It’s important to remember that none of this is happening by accident. These trips are being made by deliberate choices.

The Associated Press reports:

Jill Biden heads to Namibia, Kenya; part of US-Africa push

Jill Biden headed for Africa on Tuesday, first stop Namibia, declaring as she departed Washington that she had “a lot to accomplish” during a five-day visit focused on empowering women and young people and addressing food insecurity.

The first lady’s visit to Namibia and Kenya is part of a push by the United States to step up engagement with Africa as a counterweight to China’s influence on the continent.

Biden, who teaches English and writing at a community college, said she dashed home from class with only an hour to spare before she needed to depart on the trip. She headed out a day before her husband gets back from his surprise trip to Ukraine and a scheduled visit to Poland.

“This whole trip will be exciting and we have a lot to accomplish,” she said.

Granddaughter Naomi Biden is accompanying the first lady on the trip.

President Joe Biden told African leaders who came to Washington for a summit last year that the U.S. is “all in” on the continent’s future and announced that he, his wife, the vice president and several members of his Cabinet would travel to Africa this year. He joked that the leaders would get tired of hosting everyone.

Watch the video below where Jill is preparing to depart and note how chummy the reporters are with her:

An environmental disaster is unfolding in Ohio and neither the president nor his wife have visited or even commented on the situation. In fact, they’re both jetting off to foreign lands in the same week.

And no one in the press even asks them about this.

Do you remember Keith Olbermann? He made a name for himself at MSNBC back in the early 2000s by going on the air almost every night and calling George W. Bush a fascist.

Now he has been reduced to doing a podcast. People like him never really go away, no matter how far they fall.

Keith must be really worried about Tucker Carlson getting his hands on the J6 footage, because he is now calling for FOX News to be shut down, for national security reasons.

Twitchy reported:

First, congratulations to Keith Olbermann for finding a website that will host his podcast, “Countdown.” The selfies of him shouting from his balcony were getting a little repetitive, so it’s good he’s found an outlet.

As Twitchy has reported, both Rep. Adam Schiff and CNN analyst Adam Kinzinger are having tantrums that Speaker Kevin McCarthy has given more than 40,000 hours of January 6 footage to Tucker Carlson and his staff. Plenty reminded Kinzinger that Congress has had this footage all along and that his select committee chose to work with a former ABC producer to edit together a “highlight reel” for the public.

Olbermann isn’t just angry that Carlson has the video; he thinks Fox News should be shut down as a national security risk, as the footage will likely be used to “provide a roadmap” for future insurrectionists to evade detection.

Watch below, this is pretty funny.

"It is time to de-platform and close down FoxNews as a threat to national security.

"@SpeakerMcCarthy has given @TuckerCarlson 41,000 hours of 1/6 Video so he can gaslight the coup AND next time provide a roadmap past detection."

Some people were not impressed.

Keith’s fascist recommendation of the day.

Someone’s jealous. And a little “off”, too.

dude, just a couple of days ago you made an argument that blue states need to starve out red states.

You're as has been. Delete your account.

Sir, with all due respect (which is none), I think you have mental issues.

Keith really does seem to need help. He is as unhinged as he ever was, although with a much smaller audience.
