‘Should Be Retired’
Posted By: Imright, 3/9/2021 3:05:06 AM
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Monday on “Washington Post Live” that to forward President Joe Biden’s agenda, Democrats have to “do away with” the filibuster.Reporter Jonathan Capehart said, “Your view on the filibuster. In terms of getting President Biden’s agenda through, there is a lot of increasing talk that the filibuster needs to be done away so it can get through on a simple majority vote. If you were still in the Senate, would you vote to do away with the filibuster?”Clinton said, “I would, Johnathan. I would vote to do away with the filibuster. I think it has outlasted its usefulness.

President Donald Trump wants an NFL legend to “run” for the Georgia Senate in 2022, when it’s radical leftist senator Ralph Warnock is up for re-election.(Photos) “Wouldn’t it be fantastic if the legendary Herschel Walker ran for the United States Senate in Georgia?” Trump said in his message. “He would be unstoppable, just like he was when he played for the Georgia Bulldogs, and in the NFL.”“He is also a GREAT person,” Trump added. “Run Herschel, run!”Herschel Walker has been a vocal Trump supporters and an advocate for strong conservative values.
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki hailed the $1.9 trillion bill that passed Wednesday, ostensibly for coronavirus relief, as “the most progressive bill in American history.”The Civil Rights Act of 1964; the Social Security Act of 1935; the Affordable Care Act of 2010 — all paled in comparison to the “American Rescue Plan Act of 2021,” a bill that passed along party lines that was originally touted as an emergency bill to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic, but became much more.Psaki was responding to a “progressive” question from a reporter, who asked:

As the ongoing massive border surge worsens, former acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director Tom Homan says that Joe Biden’s open-borders and catch-and-release policies that appear to be a prelude to amnesty have ruined established security measures. “This is the first president in the nation’s history that’s facilitating illegal immigration at our southern border,” Homan declared.Rejecting a talking point from the administration that the current immigration system is broken, Homan — who worked under six presidents including President Trump — told Fox & Friends host Steve Doocy that “They inherited the most secure border I’ve seen in my almost 35-year career, so they’re lying to the American people,”
Russia and China have confirmed their plans to partner together and construct a lunar research station.On Tuesday, top officials of the China National Space Administration (CNSA) and Roscosmos, Russia’s government space agency, “signed a memorandum of understanding” in order to build a moon outpost named the International Lunar Research Station (ILRS). The China National Space Administration released a statement, saying: The ILRS is a comprehensive scientific experiment base with the capability of long-term autonomous operation, built on the lunar surface and/or on the lunar orbit that will carry out multi-disciplinary and multi-objective
President Joe Biden has not held a press conference in the first 50 days of his presidency, taking longer to do so than the last two presidents combined.Wednesday, March 10, marks Biden’s 50th day in office, but he has yet to hold a single press conference, prompting critics to question his administration’s self-professed commitment to transparency.“Instead of taking questions and speaking directly to the American people, Joe Biden is hiding in the basement waiting for direction from his liberal handlers,” the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) said in a statement, asking what Biden’s “liberal handlers” are so “afraid” of
During an interview with CNN host John Berman, President Joe Biden’s chief medical advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci couldn’t answer how it is “science” to deny Americans the right to travel even after they have been vaccinated.“We know from the Biden administration that they say it will make its decisions based on science. What’s the science behind not saying it’s safe for people who have been vaccinated, received two doses, to travel?” Berman started.Fauci danced around the question as he offered zero “science” in his explanation,
When I covered the White House for The Washington Times during the George W. Bush administration, I used to play a game with then-Press Secretary Dana Perino, now a Fox News host.The game was simple: One of us would send the other an email that said, “Can you imagine if W. had ___.” You could fill in the blank with anything that the Democrats were currently getting away with in the milquetoast U.S. media.The game, of course, can still be played today, just with different players. Take former President Donald Trump.

After “Good Morning Britain” host Piers Morgan severed ties with the show over comments he made concerning Meghan Markle’s interview with Oprah Winfrey, he doubled down by saying that he still does not believe Markle.After a heated exchange with weatherman Alex Beresford, Morgan stormed off the set of the show on Tuesday as Beresford called him “diabolical” for his trashing of Markle. He would return later to further debate the subject with Beresford, but after more than 40,000 complaints to the network over his comments referring to Markle’s accusations of Royal Family racism and bullying, Morgan resigned from the show.On Wednesday, Morgan tweeted to address the situation and
The Centers for Disease Control released another study showing no statistically significant decrease in "daily case" or "death growth" rates from COVID-19 in areas with mask mandates. This comes after a similar CDC study in October indicated that mask mandates do not appear to have slowed or stopped the spread of the coronavirus at all. Still, the CDC continues to recommend that all Americans wear masks, except in certain private settings when individuals are fully vaccinated, unless the goalpost-shifting Dr. Fauci gets his way.This whole "masks don't seem to be having much effect, but wear them anyway" bureaucratic calculus may seem like a frivolous controversy to Americans
Somewhere in the piles of garbage lining the streets of Bushwick, residents might find Mayor de Blasio’s word.It’s been six months since the mayor promised to pump more money into the city’s street-cleaning efforts. And the trash problem has only gotten worse.De Blasio in September announced initiatives to reallocate Sanitation Department funding to bolster litter-basket pickups in communities hit hardest during the pandemic, including Bushwick in Brooklyn. But according to the official mayoral report of “acceptably clean city streets,” street cleanliness there plummeted to 33.3 percent in January, compared with 86.1 percent the month before.
Happy International Women’s Day! The Biden White House announced on Monday, which happened to be International Women’s Day, that the US military is focusing on “maternity flight suits” for pregant women. Because it’s important that pregnant women are able to drop into enemy territory during wartime. Biden made the statement right before he forgot where the hell he was and the name of the general standing behind him. Joe’s handler for the day, Kamala Harris, was standing behind him but failed in her daily duties.

RALEIGH, N.C. -- Disturbing claims of racism on the court led to the William Peace University Women's Basketball Team walking out on their shot at the conference title. The team did it in an act of solidarity with Lauryn Cross -- a star point guard. It started back in January when, during a heated matchup against Mary Baldwin University, she says a white player insulted her.

Former President Donald Trump requested a mail-in ballot ahead of a local municipal election in Florida, according to Palm Beach County records, despite his frequent attacks on voting by mail.
The records from the Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections website show the ballot was mailed on Friday to Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort, which he made his permanent residence in 2019.
One of the most famous and popular TV personalities in Britain walked off the set of his TV show and resigned after getting flak over his charges that Meghan was just drama queening to Oprah when she claimed to have considered suicide. So great is Piers Morgan’s media clout that the show business bible Variety wrote, “Morgan’s shock departure from “Good Morning Britain” is sure to be a blow for ITV,” rather than a risky gambit for the broadcaster. (snip) Morgan may be in for official trouble, according to NBC News:
The United Kingdom’s Office of Communications announced it was investigating the show’s Monday episode under its “harm and offence rules.”
Gas prices are expected to rise over the next few weeks due to a combination of factors that could send the average cost per gallon of gas to nearly $3, according to the American Automobile Association (AAA).“With crude oil prices back on the rise, we could see the national average climb towards $2.90 this spring with some relief by early summer,” AAA spokesperson Jeanette McGee said in a statement. “The last time we saw the national average flirt with $3 was nearly three years ago in May 2018. At that time, crude was averaging about $71 per barrel.”AAA attributes the recent spike in gas prices to
Oprah Winfrey has called her interview with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex “the best” of her career. (Snip)Harry and Meghan Markle’s “divorce” from the royal family predated Oprah’s interview with the couple Sunday night on CBS. The legendary broadcaster is being hailed by her colleagues for scoring the first post-Megxit interview with the bitter duo. And it was definitely ratings gold for Oprah and CBS, pulling in over 17 million viewers (more than the Emmys and Golden Globes combined).
It was also history-making (Snip) The last time the British royal family tangled with an American divorcee it ended in an abdication that put the current monarch’s father
Buckingham Palace issued a statement regarding the explosive interview between Meghan Markle, Prince Harry and Oprah Winfrey on Sunday.
"The whole family is saddened to learn the full extent of how challenging the last few years have been for Harry and Meghan," a statement from the Palace provided to Fox News reads. "The issues raised, particularly that of race, are concerning. While some recollections may vary, they are taken very seriously and will be addressed by the family privately."

The millions of Americans who were paying attention throughout the 2020 election campaign all became painfully aware of the fact that Joe Biden’s cognitive abilities were slipping and slipping fast. His wife, as the person closest to him, should have been the one to call the campaign quits in order to reduce stress on the man.
Instead, apparently so anxious to become the First Lady by any means necessary, Mrs. Biden continued to push her failing husband’s campaign forward as if he were mentally qualified.
For British viewers, Oprah Winfrey’s bombshell special on the royal family was also an exposé of the American pharmaceutical industry.
Those in England who streamed Sunday’s interview with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were shocked to see advertisements for prescription drugs including Skyrizi, Kisqali and Jardiance. Advertising prescription drugs is banned in the United Kingdom — and most of the world, excluding the US and New Zealand. (Snip) “These medical adverts and the side effects though. American healthcare truly is a business,” noted a third.
Other critics called the ads “surreal” and “unhinged” and said they made them feel like they were “in some post-apocalyptic world.”

The situation at the border is getting worse, specifically regarding the number of migrant children in custody, and the responsibility for that lies solely with Joe Biden and his pursuit of absolutely terrible policies that are encouraging a surge of illegal immigration.
Despite that, Jen Psaki decided to make some ridiculous claims in today’s presser, clearly believing that those listening are morons. In the process, she also made it clear that we don’t really have a president. The following clips are just mind-blowing in their level of dishonesty and buck-passing.
An Air traffic controller is ringing alarm bells about the Biden administration’s mask mandates, warning that the face coverings are creating a serious safety hazard.
Investigative journalist Alex Berenson reported on Twitter that he received an “urgent warning” from an air traffic controller who works at a major Air Route Traffic Control Center (ARTCC) for the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
The whistleblower told Berenson that the FAA issued a guidance about a month ago requiring controllers to “wear masks at all times” while at work and in position, and warned that the directive could have devastating consequences for airline passengers and pilots.
