Her daughter bought a fake Percocet pill and it caused her death because it was laced with opioids.“A tale of two Presidents.

It’s déjà vu all over again. There’s the big bombshell that turns out to be total nonsense—a nothing burger. But even this story comes without the bun. There’s no meat. There’s no bun. There’s nothing. The January 6 Select Committee was established by Democrats to get Trump. Everyone else has gotten over this riot. We have much more important things to worry about, but Mark Meadows, Trump’s former chief of staff, turned over text messages. Fox News hosts and family members were included. It’s a gross invasion of privacy, but you know how far the anti-Trump wing of America, which includes some Republicans, will go to attack this man.
Joe Biden’s Pentagon is continuing to discharge unvaccinated service members despite concerns by Republican lawmakers. According to ABC News on Thursday, 103 Marines were purged by Biden’s officials for refusing to take COVID vaccines.The report said at least 30,000 service members remain unvaccinated across all branches of the U.S. military, despite Biden’s vaccine mandate. The Marine Corps said 95 percent of its members received at least one dose of the vaccine, which is the lowest rate of all military branches.This comes after Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) requested the Pentagon explain its actions and whether or not the discharged service members had requested any exemptions.
On Thursday night, the White House released a statement from President Joe Biden on the reconciliation spending bill, also known as Build Back Better. The bill, which passed the House last month, has received considerable attention in the past few days, especially when it appears the Senate may be moving on to voting legislation, rather than trying to pass the spending bill before the year's end. (Tweet)The statement was something of a lengthy one, taking quite a few words to try to get across what Biden may hope sends an optimistic message.
Former President Donald Trump sat down for an interview with former Arkansas Gov. Mick Huckabee for Huckabee's Newsmax Christmas special and boasted that he saved 'Merry Christmas' from the 'woke.' Trump pointed out that bringing 'Merry Christmas' back, over the non-denominational 'Happy Holidays,' was part of his original campaign message when he first ran for president in 2015. 'The country had started with this "woke" a little bit before that, and it was embarrassing for stores to say, "Merry Christmas,"' Trump said. 'You see these big chains.

In November, the Salvation Army officially went woke, declaring that, after soul searching, it was calling upon all White people associated with or donating to the Salvation Army to admit their racism and repent.

Local Salvation Army chapters are seeing 50% drops in both volunteers and donations. Get Woke; Go Broke.

President Joe Biden issued a stark warning about the risks the Omicron variant poses to the unvaccinated in particular, as the nation braces for a steep escalation in cases amid an expected surge in hospitalizations. 'It's here, it's spreading and it's going to increase,' Biden cautioned in remarks Wednesday afternoon.

The coronavirus will hit millions of Americans in a "viral blizzard" within a few weeks as infections from the Omicron variant pile on top of Delta, an expert predicts. Already, hospitalizations are rising as the holiday season gets into full swing. Long lines for Covid-19 testing formed Thursday in metro areas, including New York, Boston and Miami. The Delta variant remains a problem. And Omicron, with its high transmissibility, could strike millions more soon, said Michael Osterholm, director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota.

President Biden said Thursday that Americans unvaccinated against the coronavirus are facing a winter of "severe illness and death." "It’s here now and it’s spreading and it’s going to increase," the president said about the omicron variant while meeting with his coronavirus response team.

Democrats who see the writing on the wall and who have been around in Congress for a while are seeing this as a good time to pack it in.
The latest to retire is five-term Rep. Alan Lowenthal (D-CA). Lowenthal is the 20th Democrat who will be retiring or otherwise moving on at the end of this term. He’s 80 years old and has been serving in political positions since 1992, almost thirty years. Generally, you hear a lot of retirements after the holidays. The fact that there have been so many already has to be worrying the Democrats because there are likely even more coming,
I am not sure who told Chevrolet that what we really needed this Christmas was to ugly cry over an ad they produced for the holidays, but whoever it was needs to go sit in the corner and think about what they’ve done.
You may have seen the shortened version of this ad, titled “Holiday Ride,” on TV. But you don’t get the full emotional impact without seeing the extended four-minute version, which is a tear-jerker and hit me harder than listening to my child ask me why Mufasa wasn’t waking up. [Video]

Elon Musk's bizarre feud with a senator and a television host intensified on Thursday, with news anchor Joy Reid accusing him of 'misappropriating black vernacular for misogynistic purposes' by using the insult 'Karen'—and Musk referring to Reid, in turn, as a lobbyist for Elizabeth Warren.(Snip)'Elon wasn't happy, so he did what he always did, and stomped his little feet and insulted Senator Warren,' said Reid. 'Calling her an 'angry mom' and referring to her as Senator Karen. 'So for so many reasons—being a freeloader, and a selfish and disrespectful one, and for misappropriating black vernacular for misogynistic purposes—Elon Musk is the absolute worst.
