White House Hosts Fourth Annual Vesak Celebration
Religion News Service | May 23, 2024 | Jack Jenkins

(RNS) — The White House will play host to a Vesak ceremony on Thursday afternoon (May 23), the fourth time President Joe Biden’s administration has marked the annual Buddhist holiday celebrating the Buddha’s birth, death and enlightenment.

Second gentleman Douglas Emhoff will once again host the ceremony commemorating the holiday, which had never been celebrated by the White House until Biden came into office in 2021. According to a White House official, the event, which coincides with the full moon, will include the lighting of lamps and feature ambassadors and representatives from the embassies of Nepal, India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Cambodia, Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore, Mongolia and Laos.

“We are very grateful to the Second Gentleman for his leadership and vision for our communities in hosting the fourth ever Vesak ceremony at the White House — this is a tradition that he established in the very first year of our first term to celebrate the most sacred day for Buddhists in America and around the world,” Erika Moritsugu, deputy assistant to the president and Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander senior liaison, said in a statement.

“As President Biden has said: ‘Vesak is a time to reflect on the Buddha’s teachings, including the need to work for peace and justice, and cultivate humility and compassion as we work together towards a brighter future.’ Lord Buddha’s lessons of harmony and care are timeless, and reminder every day of what we can do to advance our common values.”

As in the past, the event will take place at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building and is part of a partnership with the International Buddhist Association of America. Wangmo Dixey, IBAA’s executive director, told Religion News Service this year’s celebration will again include leaders from Theravada, Mahayana and Vajrayana Buddhist traditions, as well as young lay Buddhist leaders from the Tibetan American and Khmer Krom communities.

According to Pew Research, Buddhists make up around 1.2% of the U.S. population as of 2010.

That should bring in the votes.

The Guardian | 5/20/24

Microplastics have been found in human testicles, with researchers saying the discovery might be linked to declining sperm counts in men.

The scientists tested 23 human testes, as well as 47 testes from pet dogs. They found microplastic pollution in every sample.

… Microplastics have also recently been discovered in human blood, placentas and breast milk, indicating widespread contamination of people’s bodies. The impact on health is as yet unknown but microplastics have been shown to cause damage to human cells in the laboratory.

Video: Biden Malfunctions, Touts Signing the ‘Pacandlpacatlackack’
Breitbart | 21 May 2024 | Elizabeth Weibel

During a speech in New Hampshire on Tuesday discussing the Honoring Our Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics (PACT) Act, President Joe Biden seemingly had trouble pronouncing the name of the legislation.

[Would Harris have called it the HO PACT Act?]

As he was closing out his speech, Biden seemed to butcher the name of the PACT Act, referring to it as the “pacandlpacatlackack.”

“Let me close with this,” Biden said. “After I signed the pacandlpacatlackack into law, I handed the pen and I signed it with a wiszzfschuna, the most person most responsible for the legislation to a widow and her daughter of a late Sgt. First Class Heath Robinson.”

White House Scrubs Joe Biden’s Transcript of Nine Embarrassing Errors, Gaffes
Breitbart | 05/22/2024 | WENDELL HUSEBØ

Aides to President Joe Biden corrected nine gaffes on a transcript of his speech delivered on Sunday, raising concerns about Biden’s fitness for office.

The White House issued a total of 148 corrections to transcripts of his remarks between January and April, a Daily Caller analysis found.

Biden, whom Special Counsel Robert Hur described as “an elderly man with a poor memory,” delivered the errors and gaffes while speaking to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) in Detroit, Michigan, on Sunday.

Shortly after the speech, Biden’s aides began scrubbing the transcript to omit Biden’s comments about Capitol protestors being “irrectionists.” [[[ Being charitable. “Erectionists.” ]]] They also changed Biden’s claim that he was vice president during the coronavirus pandemic. The transcript, released Monday, is riddled with strikethroughs of mistakes and corrections of comments in brackets.

Gee I wonder why they don’t want the audio of the Hur transcripts released???
