In the days after the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021, Big Tech moved against a conservative alternative social media platform, Parler, based on the premise that the rioters has used Parler to plan the attack on the Capitol and that Parler had failed in its responsibility to prevent such coordination. Based on this narrative, Apple and Google removed Parler from their app stores and Amazon removed Parler’s internet hosting. Yet on Thursday, Parler flipped the narrative on its head.
On Thursday, Parler sent a response to the House Committee on Oversight and Reform’s request for documents regarding the riot,
“The bill, H.B. 0800, was introduced by Representative Bruce Griffey (R – District 75) and will be considered by the Education Instruction Subcommittee on March 30,” KSDK reported Wednesday.
The bill says public schools need to focus on teaching subjects such as reading, science, and mathematics. It also adds LGBTQ+ content is inappropriate for the classroom and may offend a significant portion of school communities that hold Christian values.
In addition, the bill suggests LGBTQ+ issues be treated with the same rules as religious teaching in public schools.
Americans hate woke culture, as I noted in these pages not too long ago. Black, white, Republican and Democrat, a large majority of Americans oppose it. Even people like former President Barack Obama, Bill Maher and ultra-liberal comedienne Sarah Silverman hate it (Maher calls it “Stalinist”).
But it keeps going. Why is that? And what can you do about it — especially if you or someone you are close to comes under attack? In short, it keeps going because it’s easy and fun — and you have to make it less so.

Joe Biden's Mind Melts and the White House

Earlier today, Joe Biden gave one of the more embarrassing press conferences you’ll see from a president. As RedState chronicled here, here, and here, all the overpreparation in the world didn’t seem to matter. Despite holding mock briefings, something unheard of for a routine presidential presser, and having a binder full of answers to questions, Biden’s mind still managed to meltdown several times throughout the event.
Here’s one of the more egregious examples. Watch all the way until the end because the mumbling performance at the beginning isn’t his only flub in the span of 30 seconds. Biden later starts shuffling through papers attempting to read
The Liberal government has successfully defended its carbon tax in the courts, and it will defend it at the polls too, says the federal environment minister.
In a 6-3 decision on Thursday, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled the federal carbon pricing regime is constitutional. The decision means the government can move forward with its plan to ensure every province and territory has a price on carbon emissions.
COLUMBUS, Ohio—The Republican-led Ohio General Assembly on Wednesday voted to override Gov. Mike DeWine’s veto of legislation to rein in his administration’s coronavirus powers.
Senate Bill 22, which takes effect in 90 days, gives lawmakers the authority to cancel any gubernatorial health orders that last longer than 30 days, require the governor’s office to renew such orders every 60 days, and create a legislative oversight panel.
The bill also limits local health officials’ power to require people to quarantine or self-isolate without a specific medical diagnosis and allows Ohioans to sue over the constitutionality of any state emergency order in their home county.
Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp on Thursday signed sweeping changes to the state's election rules into law.
The package approved by the Senate earlier this month imposes voter ID requirements, limits ballot drop boxes and allows the state to take over local elections.
"I was proud to sign S.B. 202 to ensure elections in Georgia are secure, fair and accessible," Kemp wrote on Twitter after the signing. "I appreciate the hard work of members of the General Assembly to make it easy to vote and hard to cheat."
The bill also expands early voting for primary and general elections, but not runoffs, while shortening
When the Democrats decided to launch their unconstitutional military occupation of Washington D.C., they summoned 26,000 National Guard troops from all over the country to serve as a captive audience for Biden’s inauguration in an empty city living in fear. Those troops were made to sleep on cold marble floors in the Capitol and later in a cold parking garage. They were fed tainted meat, food with metal shavings and worms, resulting in illnesses and hospitalization.
The bill for this disastrous mess came to $483 million. Nothing but the best for the troops.
This wasn’t the only immigration lie he told at today’s presser. Rich Lowry has a list of others, like Biden falsely claiming that Trump treated immigrants more harshly than was actually the case or that his policies didn’t succeed at reducing illegal immigration. (They did, although the pandemic had a hand in that as well.) He also insisted that the “vast majority of families” arriving at the border are being turned away. If that was true before, it hasn’t been true recently: Between March 14 and 21, just 13 percent of family members were being sent back into Mexico. But the big lie is the one the White House

There’s a lot of room between sitting on your hands doing nothing and setting everything on fire. Things that used to get done used to get done in that space, and not much outside it. Outside it is apathy or insanity, which are not places you want to live. But life has gone from having a dimmer switch to two settings – off and blowing circuits. It’s fun to watch, I guess, but it’s not particularly helpful if you want to get things done. And I, for one, would like to get things done.

President Joe Biden had several awkward moments during his first press conference Thursday.1. Biden claims “I miss” former President Donald Trump.At one point, Biden was asked if he was going to run for re-election in 2024, since former President Donald Trump had already indicated he would run again at this point of his presidency. (Tweet/Video) “My predecessor need do,” Biden muttered, “needed to,” with a laugh.“My predecessor. Oh God, I miss him,” he said sarcastically, before confirming his “plan” is to run.When asked a followup, Biden said, “I’ve never been able to plan four and a half, three and a half years ahead for certain.”2.

ATLANTIC CITY, New Jersey -- Atlantic City says it will redo a Black Lives Matter tribute on a street because the original painting of those words across the entire road confused motorists who didn't know where to drive on it. Instead, the words "Black Lives Matter" will be painted onto the repaved road in a manner that does not obscure lane divider markings, Mayor Marty Small said Thursday. The City Council voted Wednesday night to spend $36,000 to repave the road, which police said had become so confusing to motorists that the city blocked it off at either end with barriers
It was Halloween when Jane Bernardel, a homeschooling mom of 11, was hauled away by police for praying in an empty church without a mask.
It’s a Bernardel family tradition to attend Vespers and recitations of the litany of the saints on Halloween, the eve of the great feast of All Saints, to sanctify a day they see as having been secularized. On Halloween 2020, Bernardel and some of her children prayed at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church in Kansas City, Missouri.
“We went in and got in our pew and it was empty, no one was there. It was really dark,” Bernardel told LifeSiteNews in an exclusive video interview.
Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey said Thursday it was a 'total mistake' for The New York Post to be locked out of its Twitter account for tweets sharing the newspaper's report on Hunter Biden's emails.
'We made a total mistake with the New York Post, we corrected that within 24 hours,' Dorsey told House Minority Whip Steve Scalise, who had asked about that example. 'It was not to do with the content, it had to do with a hacked materials policy, we had an incorrect interpretation,' Dorsey added.

New Jersey—Rutgers University announced it will require all students receive the COVID-19 vaccine by the fall 2021 semester. All students enrolled for the fall semester must be vaccinated before arriving on campus, the university said Thursday. “We are committed to health and safety for all members of our community, and adding COVID-19 vaccination to our student immunization requirements will help provide a safer and more robust college experience for our students,” said Rutgers President Jonathan Holloway.
The announcement comes as the federal government set a directive to have vaccine doses available for all adults by the end of May.

During the first news conference of his presidency, Joe Biden was never asked about the issue that likely got him elected and, in all likelihood, will be the defining crisis of his time in office.Over the course of 62 minutes on Thursday, the Covid-19 pandemic never arose, except for in the president’s remarks at the start of the event, touting the accomplishments his administration has made in the U.S.’s year-long fight.The absence of the issue from the news conference illustrates the degree to which a host of other challenges have begun to dominate Biden’s time in office:
I have to admit, I almost felt sorry for Joe Biden during his ridiculous press conference on Thursday. Watching this sham of an event was excruciating, particularly during the moments he seemed to forget what he was trying to say.But perhaps one of most ridiculous parts of the press conference, when Biden actually succeeded in getting through a sentence without losing his train of thought, was when he made an absurd attack on Republican efforts to strengthen election integrity in various states.“What I’m worried about is how un-American this whole initiative is. It’s sick. It’s sick,” he said. “I’m convinced that we’ll be able to stop this,

Pfizer Inc and its German partner BioNTech SE have begun testing their COVID-19 vaccine in children under age 12.

The companies hope they will be able to expand vaccination to that age range by early 2022. The pediatric trial, which will include children as young as six months old, follows a similar one launched by Moderna Inc last week. The safety of their

The mayor of Charlottesville, Virginia, is defending social media posts that slammed her own city as “rooted in racism” and compared it to a rapist.
Mayor Nikuyah Walker, who became Charlottesville‘s first Black female mayor in 2017, wrote a graphic comment on Facebook that she said got her briefly suspended from the platform. “Charlottesville: The beautiful-ugly it is,” Ms. Walker wrote Wednesday morning. “It rapes you, comforts you in its ***-stained sheet and tells you to keep its secrets.”(Snip) In a longer post, which also remains active on her page, Ms. Walker slammed her city as “anchored in white supremacy and rooted in racism.”

President Biden’s nominee for FEMA administrator, Deanne Criswell, told senators Thursday that she’s unfamiliar with what the agency is doing since it was summoned to help address a migrant surge along the US-Mexico border.
Criswell, currently commissioner of New York City Emergency Management, said she hasn’t been briefed by Biden administration officials on the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s role. “I’ve not been briefed on their specific activities that they’re performing,” Criswell testified to Sen. Rob Portman (R-Ohio) at her confirmation hearing before the Senate Homeland Security Committee.
She added: “I’m not familiar with the details of exactly what support FEMA is providing,

(Snip) Yamiche Alcindor badgered President Trump about the media’s “kung flu” rumor earlier this month and attacked the president for calling the current pandemic the Chinse coronavirus.
President Biden on Thursday said he would “be flattered” if migrants were surging to the US-Mexico border because of him — but disputed that notion, insisting that migration waves generally happen in the spring and the mounting crisis his administration is facing is not unique.Biden, taking his second question at his first formal White House press conference, was asked about people illegally entering the US because of the perception he will welcome them, which he did not address and instead insisted that the same situation occurs “every single, solitary year.”“Well look, I guess I should be flattered if people are coming because I’m a nice guy —
President Joe Biden denied that his policies or his rhetoric about immigration is the cause of a surge of migrants at the southern border, instead attributing it to an annual increase of people making the trek to the United States during the winter months.
Biden joked that he wished it was true that migrants were rushing to come into the country because “I’m a decent man,” but he pointed to a similar surge under former President Donald Trump in 2019, and questioned if that’s “because he’s a nice guy, doing good things on the border?”
“I like to think it’s because I’m a nice guy, but it’s not,” Biden said.
There used to be a saying that any country called the “People’s Democratic Republic” was the reverse. Nothing illustrates the semantic inversion better than the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK, also known as North Korea). It is neither a democracy nor a republic; in fact, it is actually the only Communist aristocratic dynasty in the world.
But their Communist majesties are a royal family on the cheap. That makes them deceptively comical. The Nokor version of “Game of Thrones” featured the assassination of Kim Jong-un’s half-brother in Malaysia, which resulted in the entire DPRK embassy being recently expelled.
President Joe Biden directed Vice-President Kamala Harris on Wednesday to get the Mexican and Central American governments to forcibly block poor migrants moving towards the United States.
“The Vice President agreed … agreed to lead our diplomatic effort and work with those nations to accept returnees, and enhanced migration enforcement at their borders — at their borders,” Biden said in an afternoon press conference [emphasis added]. “We’re already talking to Mexico about that,” he revealed.
She will work with “the countries that need help in stemming the movement of so many folks, stemming the migration to our southern border,” Biden explained.

The New York State Assembly’s judiciary committee announced on Tuesday that its investigation of Governor Andrew Cuomo’s behavior could take “months.”

A member of one of Utah's most prominent families, and a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, has filed a lawsuit accusing the church of fraud.
James Huntsman says the church spent tithes from members on commercial interests instead of charity, as it was intended.
"This is not a case about faith; it is a case about fraud and corporate greed," the lawsuit reads.
Embattled New York Democrat Governor Andrew Cuomo and New York State Health Commissioner Howard Zucker reportedly instructed local health officials to prioritize Cuomo’s family and individuals with links to his administration during the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic.According to the Albany Times Union, sources with direct knowledge of the occurrences told the outlet that family members received multiple tests even when they were scarce.

Kamala Harris is now in charge of the White House response to the southern border crisis and has immediately faced a slew of criticism from conservatives for her very lax stance on immigration.
'An undocumented immigrant is not a criminal,' Harris tweeted in April 2017 in bashing then-President Donald Trump's hard-line immigration policy.
Republicans were quick to pounce on Biden's decision to put Harris at the helm of this issue, pointing to her past criticism of offices dealing with the border.
Specifically, the GOP referenced a congressional hearing in 2018 when Harris, then a U.S. senator for California, compared Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to the KKK.

The Government Accountability Office has reportedly launched an inquiry into whether Joe Biden broke the law when he halted construction of the border wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.
Biden campaigned on reversing former president Trump’s border security policies, including his pet project, the wall, and he made good on his promise as soon as he entered office.
It turns out, Biden may not have been legally permitted to end the construction because the funding for the project had already been approved.
Charles Young, public affairs officer for the GAO, confirmed the investigation on Tuesday, as more and more border Democrats spoke out against Biden’s disastrous immigration policies.
If you needed a reminder that the swamp is alive and well, look no further than the recent vote by the House Republican Conference to bring pork-barrel spending back to Congress.

Major federal infrastructure spending was originally justified as a national defense issue. The interstate system was to secure expedient troop movement, for instance. But those days are long gone. Today’s bipartisan support for such spending stems from political expediency.

He will ever fascinate, I’m afraid, that arrogant killer named John Wayne Gacy. I have never forgotten being a young reporter and watching as some of the dead bodies of young men and boys were removed from the crawl space of Gacy’s ranch house near Norridge, in an unincorporated village in Norwood Park Township.(Snip) Were their more victims? Could one man pull off all these murders? Was law enforcement blinded a bit by Gacy’s “political connections” (he was a prominent volunteer for a number of local Democratic organization)

There was another time in U.S. history when a president was incapable of serving. His name was Woodrow Wilson, and he had had a stroke, a debilitating one. He never recovered. (snip) A little more than a century later, history is repeating itself -- sort of. President Joe Biden is functionally incapable of discharging his duties. Robotically signing executive orders doesn’t count. (snip) But disaster is in the making. The cabal-manufactured border crisis and its drive to end America’s energy independence are “destroying our country,”
Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski have once again betrayed the American people and voted to confirm one of the most insidious persons ever nominated to a Cabinet position, "Rachel" Levine. He will now be the assistant secretary of health. Levine was as toxic as N.Y. Gov. Cuomo when it came to rendering Pennsylvania nursing homes super-spreaders of COVID, but he put his own mother in a hotel. (snip) The question of the day is, why have any Republicans voted to confirm any of Biden's Cabinet appointees? Every one of them has been chosen not for his expertise in any sphere of influence, but for his radicalism
NPR is getting in front of it by assuring us it’s going to be a tough sell, but former President Donald Trump is responding to social media companies like Twitter and Facebook, that suspended him from their platforms in early January following the chaos at the Capitol, by teasing plans to create his own platform.In a media advisory issued from his office on March 22, Trump indicated he would be a guest on former Fox News contributor Lisa Boothe’s new podcast, “The Truth with Lisa Boothe,” which turned out to be the place where Trump himself teased his Trump-branded social media idea.
Is there anyone more unfit for the job of "point person" or "leading diplomatic efforts" during the current migrant border surge than Vice President Kamala Harris?
It's an absolutely certain failure. Naming Harris the 'point person' on the Biden-created border surge such a bad idea one almost wonders if Joe Biden did it on purpose.
After all, as the Sydney Morning Post notes in its headline: "'It will not be easy:' Biden hands Kamala Harris problem he couldn't fix."
The already-failed Biden policy that triggered this current border surge is now a leading issue with the public that's eating into Biden's poll numbers. According to a Hill-HarrisX survey
Scenario: You have a Concealed Handgun License in Oregon. You have no criminal record. You’re an average person going about your day. Let’s say one of your parents is having health issues, so you travel across the state to help them out for a few days. You’re bringing groceries back to them. Then a cop pulls up behind you and turns his rack lights on. You have a tail light out. While running your plates the cop discovers you have a CHL and he asks if you’re carrying. You say yes, because you’re a licensed CHL holder and you’ve never had any trouble with the law. Unbeknownst to you
Former Trump campaign lawyer Sidney Powell yesterday responded to the $1.3 billion defamation lawsuit that Dominion Voting Systems filed after she repeatedly accused the company of participating in an elaborate international conspiracy to deny Donald Trump his rightful victory in last year's presidential election. Her defense, more or less, is that she did not really mean what she said.
On Wednesday, Lecia Brooks, the chief of staff at the scandal-plagued far-left smear factory the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), insisted that her organization “is not anti-Christian at all.” Brooks attempted to dismiss claims that the SPLC brands mainstream conservative and Christian organizations “hate groups,” listing them on a map with the Ku Klux Klan due to leftist bias and fundraising, not due to objective criteria.
Brooks testified at a House Armed Services Committee hearing on “Extremism in the Armed Forces.” She cited the current and former members of the military who had been arrested in conjunction with the Capitol riot and argued

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas., was quick to dismiss a reporter's request that he wear a mask during a Senate presser on Wednesday.
Cruz stepped up to the microphones, but was stopped before he could speak by the unidentified reporter asking, "Would you mind putting on a mask for us?"
"Yeah, when I’m talking to the TV camera, I’m not going to wear a mask," Cruz responded. "All of us have been immunized, so..."
"It’d make us feel better," the reporter is heard replying.

The common assumption on the right is that Joe Biden has been endlessly rehearsing answers to questions that will asked by friendly reporters when President Biden holds his first-ever presidential press conference. But his response to a question shouted out to him yesterday raises a couple of alternative possibilities to consider.
According to Peter Doocy, the White House correspondent for Fox News, “Somebody shouted out to Biden ‘how are you getting ready for your press conference’ and he said: ‘What press conference?’” (snip) are there any reporters that will ask Biden questions more difficult than his favorite ice cream flavor?
At less than 100 days in, Trump-haters have imposed growing disasters on the country. Trump-hating voters cared about one thing and it wasn’t the success of Operation Warp Speed, a strong economy, or peace in the Mideast. Bad Orange Man must go, the country, our kids’ and grandkids’ futures be damned. And we reap what we sow. (snip) So here we are. Unity? Moderation? Not in a Biden-Harris administration that brags about passing the most “progressive bill in American history.” Not in an administration driven by reversing Trump policy no matter how successful while driven by divisiveness, lies, ideology, and power.
The campaign for Washington, D.C., statehood has come up yet again. If nothing else, this shows how far out of control the federal government has become.
The drive to make D.C. America’s 51st state isn’t new. But, with a Democratic president and a Democratic majority in Congress, the ruling class is in a mood to consolidate its power, and with the Democrat-media industrial complex demanding that everything must be seen through the lens of race, it’s now an overheated topic.
For decades the pro-statehood forces have complained about being subject to taxation without representation. (We’ll have more to say on

Axios reports that President Biden has been consulting with historians in his quest to figure out who he is — and that, right on cue, those historians have suggested that Biden is a Great Man who has been sent to completely overhaul the United States.Among the ideas with which the president’s consultants apparently agreed are that now is the time for Biden to “jam through once-in-a-lifetime historic changes to America,” that he must “go even bigger and faster than anyone expected,” and that it would be a good idea for him to “jam through what could amount to a $5 trillion overhaul of America, and vast changes to voting,
Researchers in Mexico have sniffed out a new COVID-19 mask designed for people to wear only over their schnozes while they eat, according to a report Wednesday.The nose masks — worn under a full mask with similar behind-the-ears straps — were unveiled in a demonstration video where a man and woman sit down for lunch, according to Reuters.In the video, the pair takes off their normal masks to reveal their nose-only gear before chowing down at an outdoor table.Some observers cheered the idea on Twitter, saying it would “reduce transmission” while others poked fun of its goofy look.
A former CNN producer called on the network to stop one of its hosts, Don Lemon, from using “dangerous” rhetoric surrounding his coverage of the Monday mass shooting in Boulder, Colorado.In the aftermath of the shooting that killed 10, Lemon used his platform on CNN to advocate for gun control and slam Republicans for resisting such measures by Democrats. The CNN host also insisted that Americans are playing the “odds” that they will not be killed in a mass shooting by not supporting gun control measures.“Every single one of us is just playing the odds at this point. The odds that in a country of 325 million souls that we

Joe Biden has made 'about the worst possible choice' in putting Vice President Kamala Harris in charge of the border, the Republican governor of Arizona has said, as critics pointed to her previous statements as evidence of her being unfit for the role.Biden on Wednesday announced that Harris was heading up his administration's approach to the U.S.-Mexico border, as they scrambled to get a grip on the increasingly fraught situation. 'She's leading the effort,' he said. 'The best thing to do is put someone when he or she speaks, they don't have to wonder about is that where the president is. 'She speaks for me. She knows what she's doing.'

Montgomery, Ala.—U.S. Rep. Mo Brooks, who helped lead GOP objections to President Donald Trump’s loss and came under fire for remarks he made preceding the attack on the U.S. Capitol, on Wednesday stressed his support for Trump as he began his Senate bid but declined to commit to supporting Sen. Mitch McConnell for GOP Senate leader.The north Alabama firebrand is seeking the seat that will be vacated when Sen. Richard Shelby retires. He ran for Alabama’s other Senate seat in 2017 but finished third in the primary when he faced a barrage of attack ads from a McConnell-aligned super PAC that accused Brooks of disloyalty to Trump.

Voting mostly along party lines, the U.S. Senate on Wednesday confirmed former Pennsylvania Health Secretary Rachel Levine to be the nation’s assistant secretary of health. She is the first openly transgender federal official to win Senate confirmation. The final vote was 52-48. Republican Sens. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Susan Collins of Maine joined all Democrats in supporting Levine. Levine had been serving as Pennsylvania’s top health official since 2017, and emerged as the public face of the state’s response to the coronavirus pandemic. She is expected to oversee Health and Human Services offices and programs across the U.S.
