Sandor Mecs was a child when his family lived in the town of Szentendre, Hungary. (Snip) life in post-World War II Hungary was anything but ideal if you were a free thinker. “At that time, we had become a Stalinized state of the Soviet Union, and Matyas Rakosi ruled the country for over seven years as a dictator who demanded no one strayed from the collective approved government thought,” he said. If you did, you disappeared.(Snip)In their zeal to dismantle conservatism, they miss the true dictator in our country. They are our cultural curators.

President Joe Biden fell three times climbing up the stairs into Air Force One on Friday morning.
Biden, the oldest president of the United States at 78 years old, stood up from the multiple stumbles after a few seconds on the ground(Snip)
Biden’s recent fall comes among a series of verbal gaffes and frequent mental slip-ups that plagued his campaign trail and carried over into his presidential speeches. He also recently suffered a hairline fracture in his foot in November after he slipped and grabbed his dog’s tail while stepping out of the shower, an injury that required a walking boot.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Friday said she rejected a move by some Democrats led by Rep. Jimmy Gomez (D-Calif.) to expel Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) from Congress.
About 70 House Democrats joined Gomez in signing the resolution. However, to expel a member of Congress, the bid requires a two-thirds supermajority, meaning that a significant number of Republicans would need to join.
“I’m not going to get into that,” (Snip) “Members are very unhappy about what’s happened here. And they can express themselves the way they do. What Mr. Gomez did is his own view. And that is not a leadership position.”
On this episode of The Federalist Radio Hour, filmmakers Phelim McAleer and Ann McElhinney join Culture Editor Emily Jashinsky to talk about their new movie “My Son Hunter” and how big tech, the media, and political elites covered up the Biden family’s corruption right before the 2020 presidential election. “We wouldn’t be making this movie if the media, if journalists had done their jobs,” (Snip) “…people at the mainstream media like the New York Times and CNN,(Snip) were just completely quiet in advance of the election despite the fact that this amazing bombshell was dropped into our laps on this laptop.” “(Snip) They actually intimidated other journalists(Snip)” McAleer added.

A major development broke this week in the Federal investigation into what exactly caused the death of U.S. Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick.(Snip)But providing “clarity” into Sicknick’s death was approximately the opposite of what transpired.
Here’s what we know:
Two men, Julian Khater and George Tanios, have been charged with nine criminal counts for actions taken on January 6th just outside the steps of the U.S. Capitol building. The most serious offense appears to be assault on an officer with a dangerous weapon, arising from Khater’s alleged use of Tanios’s chemical spray to tag Officer Sicknick and two other officers in the face.
Talks between the U.S. and China got off to a rough start on Thursday, with both sides chiding and reprimanding each other in an unusual public display of tensions.
The meeting in Anchorage, Alaska was the first high-level meeting between the two countries under the administration of President Joe Biden, and came after more than two years of rocky relations between the two countries.
What was initially meant to be a four-minute photo shoot ended up lasting more than an hour as both sides traded barbs on issues from U.S.-China relations to concerns from Washington’s allies. Reporters were told not to leave as both sides wanted to add their rebuttals.
Russian President Vladimir Putin publicly challenged Joe Biden to a televised debate, after Biden referred to him as a “killer” in an ABC interview, as reported by The Daily Caller.
Putin made the challenge on Russian state TV, saying “I want to propose to President Biden to continue our discussion, but on the condition that we do it basically live, as it’s called, without any delays and directly in an open, direct discussion.”
When asked about Putin’s request, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki once again dodged the question and said that she would “have to get back to you,” while also claiming that Biden is “quite busy.”

Writing as someone who was slightly acquainted with the late Mario Cuomo and considered him a substantial political force—not out of place among the many distinguished men who have held the historic office of governor of New York, from General George Clinton and John Jay to the Roosevelts, Al Smith, and Nelson Rockefeller—I have always found both of the present public Cuomos unutterably obnoxious.

Sellout's remorse
5 replies
The other side of buyer's remorse is seller's remorse. That happens when you sell or even give away something that you miss after its gone.
Rich Lowry, editor of the Never Trump Review, has a variant called sellout's remorse. He sold out his once-conservative magazine's reputation to gain brownie points among the elitists. His Against Trump issue was a political and intellectual failure because 1. Trump won the presidency, and 2. Trump was the most successful conservative president in decades.
Opposition from Fake Conservatives helped Democrats stymie President Trump's completion of the wall. As hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens gather at our border, Lowry realizes the price paid for selling out.

Biden on Tuesday kicked off his “Help is Here” tour of the nation, which he thinks will be a good way of showcasing the highly partisan $1.9 trillion COVID-19 stimulus bill.

Last weekend, Biden and his wife, Jill Biden, took Marine One to their Wilmington home and didn’t return to Washington until Sunday.
