Punny PETA letter presses first lady Jill Biden to block use of real eggs at White House Easter egg roll



People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals is pressing first lady Jill Biden to prohibit the use real eggs for the White House Easter egg roll.

In a letter, PETA President Ingrid Newkirk asked the first lady "not to allow the use of real chicken eggs for the White House Easter Egg Roll but to choose instead reusable plastic or wooden eggs—or even lovely painted rocks or egg-shaped balls—all of which would last for years to come."

PETA playfully deployed puns in the letter.

"This update would make the event eggstra special for chickens and inclusive of all children who attend, including those who don't consume eggs for ethical, environmental, or health reasons," the letter read. "Children, who have natural empathy for animals, would be saddened to learn that the eggs at this family event came from mothers who spent their entire lives in cages smaller than a letter-sized sheet of paper, unable to lift a single wing, and were taken from her as soon as they were laid. It's a most fowl irony."

"We hope you'll agree that while families are shelling out nearly 70% more for eggs amid the deadliest avian flu outbreak on record, now is a hopping good time to hatch an Easter tradition that is kind and doesn’t prop up the cruel egg industry. We wish you and your family a very happy Easter and look forward to hearing from you," the letter stated.

The day before millions of Americans chowed down on turkey dinners for Thanksgiving last year, PETA posted a tweet that featured a cartoon depicting turkey-headed characters with human-like bodies preparing to feast upon a human being for dinner. "POV: The dinner tables turned & a family is gathering around your dead body to share why they’re thankful," PETA tweeted.

According to its website, "PETA opposes speciesism, a human-supremacist worldview."

First lady Jill Biden says 'All books should be in the library'



First lady Jill Biden told Sheinelle Jones of NBC's "Today" that all titles should be allowed in libraries.

"Where's the line, in your opinion, with how much of a say parents should have when it comes to what their kids are learning in school?" Jones asked.

The first lady said that she believes that due to "the pandemic, parents saw how hard teachers work and how difficult this job really is. And I think if they work together in their school districts" and determine "what they want" regarding "their curriculum."

Jones asked whether there is some sort of "balance" regarding which books should be available in the library.

"All books should be in the library. All books. This is America. We don't ban books," Biden answered.

The inclusion of some books in school libraries, such as Maia Kobabe's "Gender Queer: A Memoir," has sparked controversies.

Jones asked the first lady whether she and the president are ready to engage in another presidential campaign, noting that such an endeavor must "be taxing."

The first lady said the president has stayed "true to what he said he would do," and that she believes "he just needs to keep goin'."

The current commander in chief, who is already the oldest person ever to serve as president, would be 86 years old by the end of his second term if he were to win reelection. He has previously said that he plans to run again as long as he has "good health."

"While serving as First Lady, Dr. Biden continued teaching English and writing at Northern Virginia Community College, where she has been a professor since 2009. She is the first presidential spouse to maintain an independent career outside of the White House," according to the White House website.

Jill Biden butchers Spanish protest slogan during César Chávez celebration and faces brutally hilarious ridicule



First lady Jill Biden gave a speech commemorating the birthday of farmworker civil rights advocate César Chávez but she faced ridicule and mockery for butchering the Spanish slogan he made famous.

The first lady spoke to farmworkers in Delano, California, with Gov. Gavin Newsom at her side on Wednesday and the United Farm Workers flag behind her.

"Cesar Chávez understood that no matter the obstacles, when people come together united in a cause, anything is possible. Yes we can. Si se puede!" Biden said during the speech.

"Si se puede" was popularized by Chávez and translates to "Yes we can."

She tried to close out the speech with another rousing call to the audience but floundered when she botched the pronunciation of the famous slogan.

Her critics were quick to pounce on video of the embarrassing moment and circulate it widely on social media.

"What better way to wrap #CesarChavezDay than with Co-President Dr. Jill Biden butchering "Sí Se Puede" while standing in front of Chávez' black eagle," chided Jorge Bonilla of the Media Research Center.

The Fresno Bee reported her gaffe as sounding like "si se pwad-way," despite having said it correctly previously in the speech.

"What a fake, pandering machine politician Jill Biden is. just like her husband," responded Steve Hilton.

"Not a big deal, but I'm old enough to remember when President Trump's mispronunciations would consume news cycles," replied Giancarlo Sopo.

"Melania is fluent in 5 languages Jill Biden can't even say a rehearsed line in Spanish," responded an anonymous Twitter user.

"Thank God @POTUS jumped in with the #Despacito save or that could have been embarrassing for @FLOTUS," joked another user.

Biden was speaking at the Forty Acres site, a national monument where Chávez fought for farmworkers' rights and founded the United Farm Workers of America labor organization.
