A Telegram channel affiliated with Iran-backed militia groups in Iraq posted in English claiming to have a resistance cell with the capacity to target American troops inside the United States, according to a report.
“The axis of resistance today is stronger than before. Resistance cells are rooted even in America and its capital,” read the alleged social media post, according to the Middle East Media Research Institute, which posted a screenshot of the message.
The post, which included a casket containing American soldiers, was made by the Kawtheryoon Electronic Team, a Telegram network that is said to be used by Iranian militia groups and supporters.
For years the Republican Party has been fundraising off of President Trump’s name — even when they attacking him at the same time. In 2020 the Republican Party somehow managed to turn a landslide victory for President Trump into a defeat. (Photo) The election was filled with impossibilities and obvious fraud. Much of it was even recorded on video.(Photo) But the Republican Party quickly moved on after Joe Biden was declared the winner. The GOP let the Trump campaign and Trump supporters battle to find the truth of the election.
TUCSON, Ariz. — Busloads of asylum seekers have started to arrive in Tucson, Arizona, for the first time since President Joe Biden began reversing border policies implemented by former President Donald Trump, city officials said. Less then 200 people arrived this week, most from Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador, after being released by Border Patrol in Yuma, The Arizona Daily Star reported Friday. Tucson officials say asylum seekers are staying a couple days in the city before traveling to live with friends and families in other cities while their asylum claims are processed. Councilman Steve Kozachik, who helped lead efforts to
Far-left activists are furious with the “corporate Democrats” that sided with Republicans against Sen. Bernard Sanders’ latest push to raise the federal minimum wage to $15 per hour. Justice Democrats, the group that helped give rise to New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, said the vote in the Senate on Friday showed why “we need to not just elect more Democrats — we need to elect better Democrats.” Mr. Sanders offered an amendment seeking to add the minimum wage hike to the $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package that lawmakers are hammering out in the Senate. Seven Democrats and one independent joined
The Great State of Arizona is putting an end to the coronavirus lockdowns and reopening its state for business. The state’s governor, Doug Ducey, stated that Arizona will reopen all businesses at 100 percent capacity.“We’ve learned a lot over the past year,” Ducey said in a statement. “Our businesses have done an excellent job at responding to this pandemic in a safe and responsible way. We will always admire the sacrifice they and their employees have made and their vigilance to protect against the virus.”“We withstood the calls from the extremes on both sides, and we will continue to ignore them,” he added.

Former White House Senior Adviser Stephen Miller slammed Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas during an interview this week, saying that the remarks coming from the Biden administration about the border crisis were an “offense” to logic and reason.Miller, who made the remarks during an interview with Fox News host Laura Ingraham, was responding to the following diced-up clip that Ingraham played on her show: We do not have the capacity now to address the asylum seekers’ claims … because that system was dismantled in its entirety by the prior administration. … We have to address those implications,
Mark Pavelich, a member of the 1980 “Miracle on Ice” U.S. Olympic hockey team who spent the bulk of his seven-year NHL career with the Rangers, was found dead at a treatment facility in central Minnesota.The 63-year-old died at Eagle’s Healing Nest, where he was receiving mental health treatment, according to the Minneapolis Star Tribune. Pavelich was under civil commitment after assaulting his neighbor with a four-foot metal pipe in August 2019.
Police were called to Pavelich’s residence around 8:30 a.m. Thursday after a reported death.
President Joe Biden has gone longer than any sitting president in at least 100 years in not holding a press conference, having gone 44 days in office without taking questions from the media.Former Trump White House aide Stephen Bannon expressed real concern about this on his “War Room Pandemic” podcast. Saying that Biden “can’t take questions,” he then pointed out that as president, Biden has “the nuclear codes.”Bannon ran a clip of a White House feed suddenly being cut Wednesday after Biden said he was “happy to take questions” from Democratic lawmakers — the “arrogance” of the administration being seen when they offered no explanation on why.
On Friday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Fox & Friends,” Cochise County, AZ Sheriff Mark Dannels (R) stated that the Biden administration’s immigration policy “goes against the grain of the CDC. I would love to hear Dr. Fauci.” And that people entering the U.S. are “being released without being tested into communities.”Dannels stated, “It goes against the grain of the CDC.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R) announced on Friday that he plans to sign a bill into law that would prohibit social media companies from censoring Texans’ viewpoints online, adding that censorship is “not going to be tolerated in Texas.”“We see that the First Amendment is under assault by these social media companies, and that is not going to be tolerated in Texas,” said Governor Abbott at a press conference on Friday alongside State Senator Bryan Hughes (R).“There is a dangerous movement spreading across the country trying to try to silence conservative ideas, religious beliefs,” the governor added. “We saw that first arise on college campuses.”

Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-Texas) has been sounding the alarm for weeks about the growing crisis at the southern border, telling anyone who would listen that the crisis is real and will spiral out of control unless something is done.
Cueller hasn’t exactly hit the panic button, but the reality is that numbers don’t lie. About 10,000 people trying to enter the United States last week were apprehended — 2,500 in the last two days alone. Border Patrol data shows that In October 2020, there were 71,922 apprehensions, while in November, data showed 72,091 apprehensions. In January, data showed a significant rise with 78,323 apprehensions.
Americans' trust in the Black Lives Matter movement has fallen and their faith in local law enforcement has risen since protests demanding social justice swept the nation last year, according to an exclusive USA TODAY/Ipsos Poll.
The debate over the intersection of racism and policing will be in the spotlight again as jury selection opens Monday in the Minneapolis trial of former police officer Derek Chauvin in the death of George Floyd, which sparked nationwide marches last year.

On Wednesday, the U.S. House of Representatives passed H.R. 1, the “For the People Act,” a sweeping election bill that would gut election integrity measures like state voter ID laws. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) supports the vast majority of H.R. 1’s attacks on election integrity, but even this leftist organization had to object to one particularly noxious part of the bill that would undermine free speech in politics.
H.R. 1 would require politically-active organizations, including 401(c)3 nonprofits, to disclose donors who give $10,000 or more. If an organization released an ad attacking a politician like Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) or House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.)
Fox News Channel CEO Lachlan Murdoch is pledging that the network will be Biden’s “loyal opposition”. He candidly admitted that the focus of opposition to the new administration will boost the cable news network’s ratings. Murdoch addressed a Morgan Stanley conference on Thursday and said the network will hold President Biden accountable. Murdoch hopes that by using the model of MSNBC and its non-stop opposition to everything during the Trump administration, Fox will lure back viewers who have left for more conservative news outlets. He describes it as the network’s “job”.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. — West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice ordered to loosen pandemic restrictions on Friday at restaurants, bars and most businesses to allow full capacity at those establishments where social distancing is possible. The state's mask mandate will remain in effect.
Full capacity will be allowed at small business and retail stores and gyms and museums. Justice said standing room to congregate will not be allowed in places such as bars.
Last month, Justice had already loosened restrictions on businesses after a dip in cases and deaths.
But he said he will not be influenced by other Republican governors
Citing expanded vaccine availability and declining COVID-19 case numbers, Gov. Doug Ducey on Friday announced he would relax emergency restrictions previously placed on businesses.
While mask and physical distancing requirements will not change, businesses including bars, restaurants, gyms, theaters and water parks can now operate at full capacity.
Spring training and Major League sports can also pick up after submitting and receiving approval for safety plans, which are expected to include reduced capacities, seating pods for small groups and touchless payment systems. Cactus League stadiums have already implemented some of these changes.
Considering a Disney+ membership? You may want to hold off. The Daily Wire released the results of an exclusive poll conducted by Neil Newhouse of Public Opinion Strategies which found that 65% of Americans "believe that companies like Disney have taken political correctness too far."
Conducted between Feb 26 and March 3, the poll of 1,098 participants, including Republicans, Democrats, and Independents, set the bottom line: “Corporate America’s lunge into ‘wokeness’ and cancel culture might hit a bump in the road given public reaction to Disney’s recent actions,” concluded Newhouse.

An international group of virus experts on Thursday called for a new “full and unrestricted” international forensic probe of the emergence of the coronavirus, expressing concern over China‘s dissembling and lack of transparency on the origins of the pandemic. The scientists’ call for a new inquiry comes after a probe by a World Health Organization team of experts into the virus’s origin produced what critics said was an incomplete and questionable report after a recent visit to China.(Snip) The scientists signing the letter included experts from U.S., Australia, New Zealand, France, Britain, Spain, Belgium, and Germany.

More than three-quarters of the “child” migrants who recently crossed the border into government custody are teenagers who claim ages of 15 to 17, according to data from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).

President Joe Biden will hold his first presidential press conference by the end of the month, White House press secretary Jen Psaski said Friday. 'We look forward to holding a full press conference in the coming weeks before the end of the month,' Psaki told reporters at the press briefing. 'And we're working on setting a final date for that and as soon as we do we will let you all know.' Psaki was asked why Biden had delayed a full Q&A with journalists, bucking a tradition to do one in the early weeks of an administration, which has been around since the Reagan years.
Famed New York City restaurants that have opened up in Miami despite the COVID-19 pandemic are reaping the benefits of lesser restrictions with business said to be 'booming' and overflowing with patrons and reservations. While the once thriving hospitality scene in NYC has been largely been crippled due to the state's strict COVID-19 measures, some restaurant owners say Miami has opened up new opportunities to expand and survive amid the pandemic. NYC's high-end sushi chain Kissaki is among the latest to open in Miami, with restaurateur and owner Garry Kafner preparing to open two new locations this year.

Ex-House impeachment manager Eric Swalwell (D-CA) confirmed Friday he will sue former President Donald Trump, his son Donald Trump Jr., Rudy Giuliani and Republican Rep. Mo Brooks in a second major lawsuit seeking to hold Trump and his allies accountable for the attack on the U.S. Capitol on January 6. Swalwell’s action follows a similar suit filed last month by Rep. Bennie Thompson against Trump, Giuliani and the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys groups. Swalwell’s case echoes some of the same claims as Thompson’s — citing a civil rights law meant to counter the Ku Klux Klan’s intimidation of elected officials.
Traders across Wall Street are poised for significant profits from the freeze that roiled energy markets and left swaths of the U.S. without electricity last month. That is, if they can collect. Goldman Sachs Group Inc. could gain more than $200 million from the physical sale of power and natural gas and from financial hedges after spot prices surged across much of the U.S., according to people with knowledge of the matter. Morgan Stanley’s gains could come in under $200 million, according to a person with familiar with the matter, and Bank of America Corp. stands to rake in profits as well.
A drugged-up teenage girl chomped a FDNY paramedic’s face in Brooklyn early Friday as the first responder tried to care for her, officials said. EMS was called to evaluate the teen, who was suffering from an altered mental state, inside a Haring St. home near Emmons Ave. in Sheepshead Bay about 2 a.m. when the teen met them on a staircase. The teen jumped around on several steps to evade first responders when the paramedic, a seven year veteran of the FDNY, caught her, officials said. In return, the teen sank her teeth into the 28-year-old first responder’s face,
One of President Biden’s top policy goals, an increase in the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour by 2025, suffered a big setback Friday when eight members of the Senate Democratic caucus voted against it. An effort by Senate Budget Committee Chairman Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) to waive a procedural objection to adding the $15 minimum wage to a COVID-19 relief package was resoundingly defeated by a vote of 58-42 in which seven Democrats and one independent joined all 50 Republicans. Here are the eight members of the Senate Democratic Conference who voted against the $15 minimum wage: Sen.Joe Manchin
Senator Bernie Sanders’ (I., Vt.) proposed amendment to hike the federal minimum wage to $15 failed in the Senate on Friday, with seven Democrats and one independent joining Republicans in voting down the measure.

Cases being dismissed include felony charges such as assaults on federal officers,(Snip) more than half of the dropped charges were “dismissed with prejudice,” which means the case can’t be brought back to court. And at least 11 of the dismissed cases were reportedly dropped on or after the inauguration of Mr. Biden.(Snip) the Biden Justice Dept. is taking a tough stance against the Trump supporters who stormed the Capitol on January 6.

Many people have asked why the media is suddenly willing to call out New York Governor Andrew Cuomo. What changed? Why this willingness to support the accusations of sexual harassment against women? Why do democrats seemingly select targets and sometimes protect others? What is the distinction?

It is refreshing to find President Trump affirming the larger context of what CTH has been presenting for well over a decade. The Big Ugly is not an issue of destroying Democrats.

But Cincinnati Mayor John Cranley is fighting the potential change to that hiring policy, saying that, without the decree, Cincinnati Police Chief Eliot Isaac may have never been hired in the first place.
Tom Burns, an attorney representing Erik Kohler, says his client was initially passed over for a promotion to sergeant in July because of his race.

YouTube’s CEO said the video sharing platform will lift its suspension of former President Donald Trump’s account once the company determines “the risk of violence has decreased.”
In comments at an Atlantic Council forum Thursday, CEO Susan Wojcicki said Trump’s account was suspended after the channel uploaded videos that violated YouTube’s incitement of violence policy.
The move came in the days following the Capitol riots on Jan. 6.
In America, class warfare is often disguised as culture war, and culture war is often cloaked by talk of race. But underneath it all, the class warfare is still there. Whether accidentally or intentionally, America’s upper classes seem to wind up harming the working class and small businesses, always in the name of some high-minded cause.
On immigration, for example, the go-to move is to call people who object to open borders racists and nativists. But what’s behind it?

The effect of President Trump’s address to the Conservative Political Action Committee on Sunday has become clearer this week. The key sentence was, “A Republican president will be returning to the White House.” Since the only other living Republican president, George W. Bush, is term-limited, Trump was speaking of himself.The speech was not only the best and most interesting political speech delivered in the United States since President Reagan’s successful reelection campaign in 1984, it also broke new ground in three important respects. First, by expressing once again in reasonable and credible terms the basis of his complaint about voting and vote counting irregularities in the presidential election in

Debate commenced at 9 a.m., following the nearly 11-hour reading of the 628-page measure.

SpaceX created a futuristic tableau at its Texas rocket-testing facilities on Thursday, when a robotic dog wandered the wreckage of the company's latest Starship prototype.
SpaceX launched the rocket prototype, called Starship serial No. 10, or SN10, on Wednesday. Like the two prototypes before it, SN10 climbed to nearly 33,000 feet above the company's facilities in the town of Boca Chica. Then it shut off its engines and plummeted to Earth in a belly-flop position, controlling its fall with four wing flaps.

Most of the changes will go into effect on March 19, with several more coming down the line over the following two weeks. The decision comes as President Joe Biden warns states not to move fast on reopening. Lamont said the decision was a result of Connecticut’s dropping COVID-19 metrics.

The Biden administration can be subjected to two empirical tests by any observer: first whether there will there be a new outbreak of war in the Middle East/North Africa (MENA) owing to the repudiation of the Abraham Accords and second, will it endorse restrictions on the exercise of the First and Second Amendments?
We can leave aside for a moment the question of whether these possible developments are justified or beneficial. All that need concern the analyst for the moment is whether they can be detected. They most probably can because their signal characteristics are strong enough to burn through any spin.

In the last few days we've seen a series of hearings in the House and Senate on the January 6 riot at the Capitol. After all the talk, we still don't know some of the basic facts of the riot, especially the circumstances surrounding the death of Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick, the only law enforcement officer and only non-rioter to die in the violence. But in spite of the gaps in our knowledge, a sense of perspective on the riot -- Who was involved? What did they think they were doing? -- has begun to emerge.
First, the riot is often referred to as an "armed insurrection." A search
People of my generation learned to read with Dr. Seuss. Sure, there were some child-like hijinks in the doctor’s prescriptions but to many toddlers the rhyme and rhythm were music to the ears, tonic to the souls and tutors to the unschooled. Mostly, they were exactly what Dr. Seuss intended them to be – entertaining, mischievous children’s literature.
Dr. Seuss succeeded for nearly a century. In that time, millions of children learned to read and Dr. Seuss was awarded numerous prizes.

Indian-descent Americans are taking over the country — you, my vice president, my speechwriter,” Biden told Swati Mohan, NASA’s guidance and controls operations lead for the Mars Perseverance rover landing. Biden made the seemingly tone-deaf effort at levity before telling the NASA group that diversity in the US allows for the betterment of “every single solitary culture.”

Every year, the House Democrat Caucus holds an Issues Conference in the early spring, and this year was the same save for one glaring difference.Thanks to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, this year’s conference turned into a stunningly sycophantic and horrifyingly cringe ode to President Joe Biden. During the event — which, to be clear, was the same event where the White House cut Biden’s feed after he told Pelosi that he’d be “happy to take questions” from her caucus — the House speaker introduced the president to her caucus by praising him endlessly.The whole thing, from beginning to end, was pure sycophancy.Watch: (Video)
A bill advancing out of a Kentucky Senate committee on Thursday would make it a crime to insult or taunt a police officer to the point where the taunts provoke a violent response.
Senate Bill 211 passed by a 7-3 vote, according to reports. The proposal was a response to riots throughout the country last summer, said the bill's sponsor, Sen. Danny Carroll, R-Benton, a retired police officer.
"In these riots, you see people getting up in officers' faces, yelling in their ears, doing everything they can to provoke a violent response," Carroll said, according to the Louisville Courier-Journal.
President Joe Biden wasn’t too happy when Texas and Mississippi decided to reopen their economies and liberate their people from statewide mask mandates, calling it “Neanderthal thinking.”
But wait a minute, who’s following the science here, and who isn’t?

One Swiss group, for example, found 10 studies challenging the effectiveness of masks. One is a Danish review that compared

No, conference goers didn't gather to spread conspiracy theories. No, they didn't bow down to a golden statue of Trump. And no, the stage wasn't designed to pay homage to Nazi symbology.
Fascism, a form of big government, is hated among conservatives.
Outsiders in the mainstream media really piled on the hate.
"There will be no policy debates," claimed an MSNBC opinion columnist. That's false. The truth, it seems, was of no value in reporting on this year's Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC).
Among speeches from high-profile Republicans were dozens of panels and debates on a broad spectrum of policy issues — which was the purpose of the gathering.
Less than a year ago, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo was a darling of the left over his “leadership” in managing the COVID pandemic in his state. (snip) In politics there are no coincidences. Cuomo has been a boorish pig for decades and has been NY governor since 2011. His behavior is nothing new, simply ignored as Biden’s similar MeToo activities were (and are to this day). (snip) Exposing the nursing home death march could reveal much behind the entire COVID-con. A virus from China, a country Trump beat like a drum on trade deals, appears when Trump’s economy is breaking records.
On Wednesday, New York’s Governor Andrew Cuomo issued a teary apology during which he said that he didn’t do anything he was alleged to have done but, if he did in fact do those things, he had no idea that they were bad things. On Thursday, Charlotte Bennett, a 25-year-old former health policy adviser to Gov. Cuomo, told CBS that Andrew Cuomo explicitly propositioned her during an office meeting, in addition to crude, personal questions about her sex life. Cuomo’s going to have a hard time explaining that he didn’t know he’s not supposed to proposition employees almost four decades younger than he is.
