Wednesday on FNC’s “Your World,” Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) discussed threats from Senate Democrats to end the filibuster rule in the U.S. Senate.Aside from the inconsistencies from Democrats, who defended the filibuster rule when they were in the minority, Grassley referenced the purpose of the filibuster, which he said was to maintain the Senate as the deliberative body in Congress.“Well, you just pointed out the key point here, how inconsistent and intellectually dishonest the Democrats who are talking about doing that are, because they defended the 60-vote rule in the United States Senate, well throughout history, as far as I know.

Vice President Kamala Harris condemned the U.S. as racist, xenophobic, and sexist in remarks at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, where she and President Joe Biden traveled Friday to show solidarity with the Asian American community.“Racism is real in America and it has always been. Xenophobia is real in America and always has been. Sexism, too,” Harris said.Eight people were murdered this week at three massage parlors in Atlanta.

During a speech on Thursday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said that the illegal immigrants brought by their parents are the “true and legitimate heirs of our founders.” With that logic, you could make the argument that anyone in the world that comes to the United States with absolutely no ancestors in this country is also an heir of the founding fathers. Pelosi is basically making the case that everyone on the planet is entitled to what the ancestors of many American citizens bled and died for.Pelosi made her claims as the Democrats prepared to vote through an amnesty for at least three million migrants.

On Friday morning, President Joe Biden repeatedly fell up the steps of Air Force One at Andrews Air Force Base and almost immediately, comparisons ensued as conservatives and Republicans recalled the liberal media’s wall-to-wall coverage of then-President Trump holding of a water glass and walking slowly down a ramp at the June 13, 2020 West Point commencement.For CNN and MSNBC, the ordeal was treated like the 21st century’s Zapruder film. A NewsBusters analysis has found that CNN and MSNBC spent a heaping 50 minutes and 55 seconds (excluding teases) on June 15 reveling in the ordeal as a sign of Trump’s supposed mental and physical decline
The CDC announced new guidelines on Friday, stating that 3 feet of distance is acceptable within schools after nearly a year of Americans abiding by the 6-feet social distancing rule.A recent Clinical Infectious Disease study in Massachusetts schools showed that there was no major difference between rates of COVID-19 among students who were 3 feet apart from one another or 6 feet apart from one another.

Others were far less kind and called Fauci a “liar,” a “puppet,” and a “flip-flopper.” They said he was “inconsistent” and “self-serving” as well.
A federal appeals court judge in Washington, D.C. has penned a scathing dissent accusing the media of being a 'trumpet' for the Democratic Party, while calling on his colleagues to overturn a Supreme Court landmark decision protecting the press.
