Legislators in Arizona and Wisconsin are pushing to decertify their states’ fraudulent 2020 elections with promised resolutions to reclaim the Presidential electors.The Gateway Pundit reported that the Wisconsin State Assembly voted to move forward Rep. Ramthun’s resolution to reclaim Wisconsin’s 10 electors for US President and Vice President who were certified under fraudulent purposes.Arizona’s full forensic audit of Maricopa County’s 2020 election found evidence of elections law violations and hundreds of thousands of fraudulent votes. All evidence was delivered to the Arizona Attorney General,
It has been two years since the world first noticed people were getting sick and dying from a novel coronavirus that originated in Wuhan, China. As the seriousness of the disease became more apparent, policymakers around the world struggled with how to respond.Eventually, many leaders settled on policies of draconian lockdowns and restrictions in an effort to stop the spread of the virus. As these restrictions dragged on for months and years, some leaders trimmed their sails; some changed course completely. But most policy makers failed to keep in mind the fundamental axiom of governing, most pithily stated by Thomas Sowell: there are no solutions, there are only trade-offs.
A 16-year-old, up-and-coming rapper charged with shooting an NYPD cop in the Bronx walked free on bond Thursday—and cops are fuming over it. Camrin Williams, who is also known by the rap name C Blu, posted his $250,000 bond after being locked up at a Brooklyn juvenile facility on gun and assault charges in the shooting of a 27-year-old cop in Belmont. “If anybody wants to know why we have a crisis of violence in this city, or why we’re about to bury two hero police officers, look no further than this disgraceful bail release,” NYPD Police Benevolent Association President Patrick Lynch said
ID.me, one of the D.C.-area’s fastest-growing technology companies, will hire an additional 750 video chat agents to meet increased user volume for its digital identification services. That is on top of more than 1,000 new hires it announced it would fill by the end of last year, quadrupling its workforce. A spokesman for the company has not confirmed if it met last year’s hiring goal. The Tysons, Virginia-based company is ramping up for increased demand in coming months related to unemployment claims, health care and financial services organizations, and tax season. The Internal Revenue Service recently selected ID.me to run a new “selfie” identification requirement for access
President Joe Biden announced on Thursday that Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer is retiring after four decades, and his successor will be a black woman, which he will nominate by the end of February.“Choosing someone to sit on the Supreme Court I believe is one of them most serious constitutional responsibility a president has. Our process is going to be rigorous. I will select a nominee worthy of Justice Breyer's legacy of excellence and decency. While I've been studying candidates’ backgrounds, I've made no decision except one,” the president said.
It’s not clear if this is a misunderstanding, an attempt to make President Biden look bad or just a CNN screw up. This afternoon a CNN national security correspondent claimed on Twitter that a fellow CNN correspondent had been given an account of President Biden’s recent conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. According to an unnamed source, Biden had said a Russian invasion was virtually certain and that Kyiv could be ‘sacked.” The actual report with those details was made on Jake Tapper’s show by reporter Matthew Chance:

But the official White House account of the call was very different and the White House specifically pushed back on the CNN report.
More of this, please. The number of vulnerable Democrat incumbents up for re-election this year is growing. Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney, chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) faces spending financial resources on seven additional campaigns. The number of vulnerable Democrats was already over two dozen. You love to see it, don’t you?
The seven names added to the list are Reps. Greg Stanton (Ariz.), Sanford Bishop (Ga.), Bill Foster (Ill.), Dan Kildee (Mich.), Josh Gottheimer (N.J.) Marcy Kaptur (Ohio), and Jennifer Wexton (Va.). One race caught a break, though. Thanks to re-districting shoring up her chances, Rep. Haley Stevens of Michigan was taken off the list.
Washington - A federal court has rejected a plan to lease millions of acres in the Gulf of Mexico for offshore oil drilling, saying the Biden administration did not adequately take into account the lease sale's effect on planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions, violating a bedrock environmental law.
The decision Thursday by U.S. District Judge Rudolph Contreras in Washington sends the proposed lease sale back to the Interior Department to decide next steps. The judge said it was up to Interior to decide whether to go forward with the sale after a revised review, scrap it or take other steps.
Environmental groups hailed the decision and said the ruling gave President Joe
People can get better immune responses from COVID-19 booster shots if the dose doesn’t match the vaccine received during initial vaccination, according to a lead researcher on the matter from the University Of Maryland School Of Medicine.(Snip)“If your primary series and the boost were the same, you got a good response. But you could increase that response if you mixed the vaccines,” said Dr. Kirsten E. Lyke, professor of medicine at UMSOM, and the co-chair and the principal investigator for the ongoing study. “For instance, if you got a Johnson and Johnson and you followed that with either a Pfizer or Moderna, you could really enhance
With the retirement of Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer being made official Thursday by the man himself just one day after some court snitch rushed to the media before Breyer was read to make it also came the expected news that President Biden would be nominating a black woman in hopes that she would be confirmed and make history in the process.“While I’ve been studying candidates’ backgrounds and writings, I’ve made no decisions except one,” Biden stated during a press conference earlier with Breyer. “The person I will nominate will be someone with extraordinary qualifications, character, experience, and integrity, and that person will be

While Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi go all out to protect Ukraine’s national sovereignty, at the same time they are orchestrating a clandestine invasion of America across the southern border.Two million illegal immigrants from dozens of countries crossed over from Mexico last year, and the Biden administration is facilitating the cartels’ people-smuggling operation — at taxpayer expense.Under cover of darkness, every night the federal government is transporting illegal migrants as fast as it can away from the border on secret charter flights into unsuspecting communities around the country. Officials have lied and obstructed the few journalists who have tried to reveal the truth.

A member of the University of Pennsylvania women’s swim team said some team members are uncomfortable changing in the locker room with transgender swimmer Lia Thomas, according to a teammate.Thomas, 22, who spent the previous three years swimming with the men’s team before she began transitioning to a woman, has created an uneasy environment in the locker room, as she still retains her biologically male genitalia – which are sometimes exposed – and is attracted to women, one teammate told the Daily Mail in an interview.“It’s definitely awkward because Lia still has male body parts and is still attracted to women,”
At the top of their home page, PolitiFact begs for donations by proclaiming "Our only agenda is to publish the truth so you can be an informed participant in democracy." But this "independent fact-checker" routinely betrays a tilt by coming out more aggressively to “correct” rhetorical or factual attacks on Democrats.At the end of Biden’s first 100 days, we reported our study of PolitiFact found they published 13 fact checks of the president, and 106 fact checks of the president’s critics. In other words, they’re much more sensitive about someone “lying” about Biden than they are about Biden lying. Now, after reviewing Biden’s first year, a NewsBusters study shows
My friends who are Democrats, particularly those of the more progressive variety, don’t seem to understand how deep they are in the political hole this year—and just how hard it might be to get out of it in 2024, particularly in the Senate.
On a basic level, midterm elections are referenda on the sitting president and, if a president’s party has control of the Senate and the House, on that governing party as a whole. President Biden’s current Gallup job-approval rating of 40 percent is the second-lowest of any president in the era of modern polling at a comparable
Immigrants are rapidly diversifying the Black population in the U.S.–and in Georgia. Around 10% of all Black people living in the U.S. were born abroad, up from 3% in 1980, according to a Pew Research Center report released Thursday. The foreign-born Black population, currently estimated at roughly 4.6 million, is projected to double in size by 2060.(Snip)Out of all U.S. metro areas, Atlanta holds the fourth largest Black immigrant population, with roughly 190,000 Black immigrants in 2019. That puts metro Atlanta ahead of Boston (180,000 Black immigrants) and behind Washington, D.C. (260,000). New York City leads the country with roughly 1.1 million Black immigrants in 2019.
As indictments and new court filings indicate that Special Counsel John Durham is investigating Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign for feeding false reports to the FBI to incriminate Donald Trump and his advisers as Kremlin agents, Clinton’s role in the burgeoning scandal remains elusive. What did she know and when did she know it? Top officials involved in her campaign have repeatedly claimed, some under oath, that they and the candidate were unaware of the foundation of their disinformation campaign: the 35-page collection of now debunked claims of Trump/Russia collusion known as the Steele dossier.
A former senior aide to President Barack Obama condemned Sen. Kyrsten Sinema as 'a c***' during a foul-mouthed appearance on a leftwing podcast. Alyssa Mastromonaco took aim at the Arizona senator for announcing that she could not support a filibuster carve-out in order to pass voting rights legislative—just before President Joe Biden met with Democrats to make one last appeal for their support. While Sinema has attracted the anger of Democrats from all parts of the party, no one has gone quite as far as Mastromonaco, 45, who was deputy chief of staff in the Obama White House.(Snip)'So anyway, it's the s***tiest grossest, like
In what is becoming a rare sight, a would-be shoplifter in New York City was apprehended by police in a store in Queens. Footage posted to Instagram shows 45-year-old Franklin Nunez struggling with two cops from the NYPD as he attempted to make his getaway from Marshall's Department store in Rego Park. Shocked customers took out their phones to capture the drama which was posted to social media on Thursday. (Video/Photos) Various items of clothing could be seen lying on the ground along with some of the stores shelving which was knocked over in the melee.Despite there being two police officers on the scene
Natural-gas futures tallied their largest one-day percentage gain on record Thursday, up more than 46%, with the rally fueled by the expiration of the February contracts, and a “classic” short squeeze as a winter storm looms in the Northeast. “This is why it’s so dangerous to be short natural gas in the winter,” said Phil Flynn, senior market analyst at The Price Futures Group. “It’s especially dangerous to be short at a time when the expiration is right around the corner.” February natural gas climbed $1.99, or 46.5%, to settle at $6.265 per million British thermal units on Thursday.

Jedi mind tricks, America?If you think the economy is in terrible shape, energy prices are through the ceiling, the supply chain crisis continues in some areas or for some products, and millions of workers walked away from their jobs in 2021, it’s not your fault, America. And it’s not Joe Biden’s fault, either. The real culprit? COVID-19.That’s right, gang — according to Biden Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo, who suggests the perception that the economy is struggling and the reason why people aren’t feeling this “very strong” economy right now is all because of the pandemic, as reported by The Right Scoop.

She was the first black woman nominated for the federal bench.

"The rest of the world, at least on the progressive side in the United States, became increasingly cult-like and insular in its thinking, since March of 2020.” At that time, “lifelong critical thinkers, journalists, editors, researchers, doctors, philanthropists, teachers, psychologists—all began to repeat only talking points from MSNBC and CNN, and soon overtly refused to look at any sources—even peer-reviewed sources in medical journals—even CDC data—that contradicted those talking points.” (Emphasis in the original.)
That may sound like Tucker Carlson but—surprise(!)—it’s feminist author Naomi Wolf, in a January 9 essay headlined “Is it Time for Intellectuals to Talk about God?”
Vice President Kamala Harris spoke repeatedly about battling the “root causes” of record-breaking illegal immigration during a Thursday trip to Honduras — but Harris said that her efforts are unlikely to alleviate the US-Mexico border crisis “overnight.” Harris made a point of mentioning migration after critics chided her for not focusing more on the issue since President Biden appointed her last year to lead his administration’s outreach to Mexico and Central America.The number of illegal border-crossing arrests surged since Harris took on the role.
What is Clarence Thomas? An amazingly thoughtful and intelligent Supreme Court justice? A hero of sorts that overcame the disadvantages of his upbringing, the prejudices of his time, and the damage done to his career by affirmative action and ended up at the very top of the legal system?
Well, yes, those are both correct answers. But the jabbering parrots on “the View” didn’t arrive at that answer. No, according to those bitter, cackling hens, Clarence Thomas is a “race traitor.” Yes, they really said that. Oh, and they implied that Amy Coney Barrett is a traitor to women.
For those wondering why Joe Biden is soft on China, consider this never-before-reported revelation: the Biden family has done five deals in China totaling some $31 million arranged by individuals with direct ties to Chinese intelligence — some reaching the very top of China’s spy agency.
Indeed, every known deal that the Biden family enjoyed with Beijing was reached courtesy of individuals with spy ties. And Joe Biden personally benefitted from his family’s foreign deals. What are these deals? And who are the individuals who made them happen for the Bidens?
WASHINGTON— Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer’s retirement gives President Joe Biden a chance to make his first nomination to the high court. It’s also a chance for Biden to fulfill a campaign promise to nominate the first Black woman to be a justice.Some things to know about the women seen as leading candidates: KETANJI BROWN JACKSON -Ketanji Brown Jackson has known Breyer for decades. A graduate of Harvard and Harvard Law school, she was a law clerk to Breyer from 1999 to 2000. She is comfortable enough with her former boss to have a little fun at his expense.

Republican lawmakers blasted President Joe Biden following the revelation Thursday that immigration officials are releasing migrants with criminal records into the US. “Joe Biden is failing to enforce our rule of law and pouring violent criminals into our communities in the cover of night,” Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) told The Post. “The Biden Administration must reverse course and put the interest and safety of the American people first and secure the border and deport these illegals now,” the chair of the House Republican Conference added. Rep. Michael Carey (R-Ohio) tweeted, “We already knew that the Biden Administration could care less about our immigration laws, but it appears
No one appears to have been in charge at Black Lives Matter for months. The address it lists on tax forms is wrong, and the charity's two board members won't say who controls its $60 million bankroll, a Washington Examiner investigation has found.
BLM's shocking lack of transparency surrounding its finances and operations raises major legal and ethical red flags, multiple charity experts told the Washington Examiner.
"Like a giant ghost ship full of treasure drifting in the night with no captain, no discernible crew, and no clear direction," CharityWatch Executive Director Laurie Styron said of BLM.

The new woke Superman isn’t flying with fans, according to the latest comic book sales numbers. John F. Trent reported Monday for the entertainment website Bounding into Comics that sales of “Superman: Son of Kal-El”—in which the son of the original Superman becomes a climate activist, advocates for illegal immigrants and dates a male reporter after donning his father’s cape—failed to crack the top 50 for the number of units sold only five issues into its new run. This represents an unprecedented sales flop for the Man of Steel, he said. “That’s right, the flagship Superman book at DC Comics is not on a Top 50

Two men have been charged with the murder of law student Aya Hachem who was mistakenly gunned down in a botched drive-by shooting.
Tyre firm boss Feroz Suleman, 40, arranged the execution of a rival businessman in broad daylight but the gunman he hired instead shot dead innocent passer-by Aya. The 19-year-old who dreamed of becoming a solicitor had fled from violence in her native Lebanon as a child to settle with her family in Blackburn, Lancashire. Miss Hachem was shot on May 17 last year while on a trip to a nearby supermarket to buy food ready for when her family would break their Ramadan feast
Laurence Tribe, a Harvard Law professor and legal ally of President Joe Biden’s administration, has stated that vice presidents do not have the authority to make a tie-breaking vote for a Supreme Court nominee’s approval in the Senate.
News of Justice Stephen Breyer’s intent to retire broke Wednesday, though the 87-year-old has not formally announced the move. The news puts Biden in the position of having to pass a nominee through a 50-50 Senate, raising the question of whether Harris can cast a tie-breaking vote.
President Joe Biden’s approval rating has fallen off a cliff in Georgia, according to an Atlanta Journal-Constitution poll released Thursday that showed just one-third of registered voters approve of the Democrat’s job performance. That’s a sharp decline from the 51% of voters who gave Biden high marks in the AJC’s May poll. And it’s a troubling sign for Democrats eager to build off their victories in the last election, which ended with a narrow Biden victory and a Democratic sweep of U.S. Senate runoffs. The poll also found Gov. Brian Kemp ahead of Democrat Stacey Abrams in an early test

We’re into week two of the Glenn Youngkin administration in red Virginia, and so far they’ve demonstrated a commitment to fulfilling their campaign pledges to put parents first in the state when it comes to their children’s education. They’ve also undertaken the arduous task of undoing the damage “woke” policies implemented by former Democrat Govs. Ralph Northam and Terry McAuliffe did to the state.Naturally, this has triggered The Usual Suspects on the left and in the media, including CNN’s Jim Acosta, who was deeply fauxfended by the email tip line set up by Gov.

West Virginia Democrat Sen. Joe Manchin pointed out a fact that many seem to have forgotten, namely that Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders is not a Democrat. On Tuesday, the Manchin pointed out that he’s not particularly concerned about a Sanders backed primary challenge because of this fact.Sanders has run for president twice as a Democrat and maintains leadership in the Senate caucus, but he has never changed his partisan designation from independent. According to Manchin, Sanders isn’t just an independent socialist, but also one who’s ideas are not popular with the majority of Americans. “It’s not what I think the majority of Americans represent,”
Is Joe Biden trying to top the vile, cruel record of blue-state governors such as New York's Andrew Cuomo, who seeded COVID patients into the nursing homes?
It sure looks like it, given his strange, sudden, and absolute shutdown of monoclonal antibody treatments on patients who are being successfully being treated with the therapy in Florida. For vulnerable, sick people waiting in line for it, including those right up to the date of scheduled treatment, tough luck, go to the back of the line and see if you can find some other treatment, and hope your COVID does not progress to the morgue.

Jan. 26 -- Smoking marijuana impacts adults' ability to drive safely, yet most who use the drug believe otherwise, a study published Wednesday by JAMA Psychiatry found.
Adults in the study performed "significantly" less well on tests designed to assess their driving abilities, including reaction times 30 minutes and 90 minutes after smoking marijuana, the data showed. They also had "borderline" declines in driving performance 3 1/2 hours after using the drug. By 4 1/2 hours after use, driving performance returned to normal levels, the researchers said.
The U.S.-backed Syrian forces were able to retake control of a prison after Islamic State terrorists launched a sophisticated attack to free their brothers in arms that has experts concerned about what it means for the ISIS threat going forward.
The dayslong assault focused on the Gweiran Prison in Hasakah, Syria, last Thursday saw roughly 300 ISIS operatives detonate multiple car bombs before converging on the facility, Voice of America reported, citing the Syrian Democratic Forces. The facility housed roughly 4,000 ISIS and another 700-850 boys and teenagers.

Joe Biden announced on the campaign trail a couple of years ago that he intended to nominate a black woman to the Supreme Court. The White House re-affirmed that intention yesterday in the wake of confirmed rumors of Justice Stephen Breyer’s imminent retirement.
It’s not that Biden has a particular nominee in mind who just happens to be a black woman. No, it’s that being a black woman is the main criteria.
This is not unprecedented for Biden.

They said a mumbling man walked up and shot him.
Chicago - An 11-year-old boy was charged in connection with an armed carjacking last November in the Mount Greenwood neighborhood on the Far Southwest Side.
The boy, who has not been identified because he is a minor, was accused of taking a car at gunpoint from two women on Nov. 19, 2021 in the 1100 block of South Harding Street, police said. During the investigation, the 11-year-old was spotted inside another vehicle that was reported stolen from the Lawndale neighborhood on Nov. 13, 2021, police said. (Snip) He is the second 11-year-old charged with carjacking in the past three months.
This is the terrifying moment two Jewish shop owners are assaulted by a passer-by in a 'brutal, unprovoked and anti-Semitic' attack on the eve of Holocaust Memorial Day. The shocking video shows the pair locking up their shop in north London, when they are approached by a passer-by who launches an astonishing attack, knocking one to the floor and causing both to lose their kippah. The attack, which is being probed as a hate crime by police, took place in Stamford Hill—a Jewish community which last year saw a 'worrying rise' in anti-Semitic violence following escalating tension in the Middle East.
Newly released surveillance video shows a prolific shoplifter arrested in downtown Seattle after he stole a 70-inch television from a Target store last month, which staff claim was his 22nd instance of theft in just three months. Career criminal John Ray Lomack, 55, who is believed to be homeless and has a rap sheet dating back to the '80s, was caught on camera eyeing the TV in the store, loading it into a shopping cart and walking out of the store without attempting to pay. He is said to have nabbed $6,000 worth of property from this one Target location since October; it's unknown what other items he has stolen.
Joe Biden's administration has issued a dramatic warning to Vladimir Putin that if he invades Ukraine the key $11bn Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline into Germany will be cancelled. The Biden administration yesterday warned the Kremlin that it would halt the pipeline using sanctions if there was military action taken against Ukraine. 'I want to be very clear: if Russia invades Ukraine one way or another, Nord Stream 2 will not move forward,' State Department spokesperson Ned Price told reporters. The spokesman refused to go 'into specifics', but added: 'We [The US] will work with Germany to ensure it does not move forward.' This morning, despite a stall in offering
Mr. President, you asked in your press conference last week, “What are Republicans for? What are they for? Name me one thing they’re for.”Unfortunately, your cheap rhetoric is emblematic of your unwillingness to obtain advice from anyone beyond your handlers. Mr. President, it is you who appears bereft of ideas to solve our nation’s crises.Republicans fight to preserve the American way of life and our traditions laid down in our founding documents.Abraham Lincoln was our party’s first president. Along with Martin Luther King, no single person in history fought harder for the freedom of America’s children.

On Wednesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “The Beat,” Senate Judiciary Committee member Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-HI) said she wants Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer’s replacement to be someone “who will consider the impact, the effects of whatever decision-making is on people in our country so that they are not making decisions just based on” the law.

A doctor who has been offering free telehealth services to COVID-19 patients during the pandemic says that early treatment for COVID-19 works, claiming that he has a 99.99 percent survival rate.
“We have a team of volunteer free doctors that donate their time to help treat these patients that come to us,” Dr. Ben Marble, the founder of myfreedoctor.com, an online medical consultation service, said at a roundtable discussion hosted by Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) on Jan. 24.

SAN FRANCISCO — California State University, the largest-four year university system in the country, is poised to eliminate SAT and ACT standardized tests from its undergraduate admissions process, following a trend in higher education over concerns that the exams are unfair to minority and low-income students. The Board of Trustees for the 23-campus CSU system will vote in March on recommendations to end the testing requirements, which were presented at a meeting Wednesday and met with widespread enthusiasm. (Snip) Critics have long argued that standardized tests put minority and low-income students at a disadvantage, in part because of test questions that
Have you heard about the latest in educational pedagogy: Identify Your Privilege Bingo.
Who needs math, or English, or History in preparing young men and women for the challenges facing us as individuals and as a country?
No, what we need is another exercise of identity politics to drive home the point of just how unfair – sorry, didn’t use the proper “buzz” word here – how inequitable life is in this most unjust of countries that rewards the privileged while oppressing mercilessly those without privilege. But what makes for privilege? That’s the really interesting question, and one that will identify the motives
Wait — I thought America needed its norms back? John Harris instead likes the cut of a presidential jib a bit better when the C-in-C uses “s*** talk,” such as Donald Trump did for four-plus years … excuse me, Joe Biden did last week with Peter Doocy. In Politico Magazine, Harris advises Biden to let that fly and express his “authentic voice” as an antidote to Beltway phoniness.
Didn’t we just get four years of the press complaining about the very same “authenticity”?
Petulant Neil Young is trending in Memeville so it wasn’t a great leap to recall one of his best-known songs. Then other news I read today drove home the point.

Geraldo Rivera Says Kamala Harris Could

Be ‘Terrific’ Supreme Court Justice
On Fox’s ‘The Five’ replies
Political commentator Geraldo Rivera said that Vice President Kamala Harris would be “terrific” on the Supreme Court on Fox News’ “The Five” Wednesday.“She [Harris] could be a terrific Supreme Court Justice, an appointment for life. She’s only in her fifties; she’d be there for 30 years,” Rivera said.
President Joe Biden announced his intention to nominate a black woman to the Supreme Court in February of 2020.
“It’s not going to happen,” Rivera continued. “They’ve already put out the D.C. Circuit Judge Brown Jackson, the South Carolina District Judge Michelle Childs, Leondra Kruger — all black women.
Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer has not made an official announcement about retiring at the end of the current term but that hasn't stopped news of his departure from spreading like wildfire in Washington D.C. and around the country. Reportedly, Breyer is "upset" about the way the announcement was made and did not plan on breaking the news today.
President Joe Biden committed during the 2020 presidential election to nominating a black woman to the U.S. Supreme Court –though he would not, unlike President Donald Trump, reveal a list of candidates for the public to scrutinize.
While there are many outstanding black female attorneys and jurists, there are still few on the federal bench or in senior judicial positions, making Biden’s list of potential candidates an unusually short one. Here are three possible nominees:
Clearly, election night this coming November is not shaping up to be a good one for Democrats. The historical trends alone all but guarantee they lose the House of Representatives, and the contemporary trends are no better, pointing to a large Republican wave that could also decisively shift power in the Senate.
Yet, in the midst of all that darkness for Democrats stands the state of Georgia. Sure, they are probably going to get beat in Florida and Arizona, but Georgia is supposed to be different. It’s trending the opposite way, representing an oasis in the political desert for a party that will be thirsty for a big win in November.
Peter Schweizer’s new book Red-Handed: How American Elites Get Rich Helping China Win tells the story of how Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s (D-CA) husband Richard Blum was part owner of a Chinese firm that allegedly sold computers with spyware chips to the U.S. military. The military has never been able to calculate how much sensitive data these computers allowed China to steal.
A hefty chapter of Red-Handed is devoted to tracking Feinstein’s long and expensive relationship with Communist China. The senator has made herself very, very useful to Beijing — so useful that she actually tried to excuse the Tiananmen Square massacre

When Prime Minister Boris Johnson recently announced an end to some medical mandates and virus-related restrictions in the United Kingdom, I thought: "This is a victory for nation-states over unitary global government." The reason the prime minister turned a 180 on his country's COVID-1984 tyranny seems to be intricately linked to his own personal scandals involving the breaking of various lockdown, masking, and social gathering rules that form the crux of the U.K.'s totalitarian health regime. If Klaus Schwab, George Soros, Bill Gates, or Anthony Fauci had complete control over the queen's realm, you can bet that the mandates would never go away.
More people died in Michigan in 2020 than were born. That’s according to demographer Curt Metzger, who analyzed the most recent full year of data from the state. “We saw 76 out of the 83 counties had more deaths than births,” Metzger said today on Stateside. “And we’ve got counties where deaths are doubling births.”

The saying goes that crises reveal your true nature. If that’s the case, we are in big trouble, because what COVID has revealed about young people in America is not good.
A new Morning Consult poll out this week finds that young people are the most worried about getting COVID of any age group — even though their risk from the disease is negligible.
At the other end of the spectrum, the elderly are much less worried, even though they are at the highest risk of death.
The poll found that 23% of those between ages 18-34 are “very worried
Have you noticed the dwindling shelves at the grocery store? Are you still waiting on product orders placed months ago? In our household, this is a regular observation. School uniform items like pants and shirts that we ordered for our children last Summer took the better part of four to five months to arrive, and we were left scrambling for approved apparel for them to wear to school this past Fall. This phenomenon is not limited to school uniforms or grocery items either.
The truth is that the Second American Civil War is...almost over. Unlike the first one, the Democrats appear to be a near lock to win.
Leftists, through a combination of brilliant projectionist strategy and callously evil use of their political opponents' naïveté, decency, and tolerance, have transformed America's institutions. They have weaponized them and used them against their less aggressive fellow citizens. In the process, they have transformed Americans, their beliefs and expectations, too. Much like the Chinese Communist Party, they own nearly all the levers of influence and power
President Joe Biden will visit New York City next week to discuss combating gun crime with Mayor Eric Adams, a meeting that will follow the recent fatal shooting of two city police officers.The White House said Biden planned during the Feb. 3 meeting to discuss his administration's 'comprehensive strategy' to combat gun crime, including increased funding for cities and states to hire more police officers and pay for community violence prevention and intervention programs.The strategy also includes beefing up federal law enforcement efforts against gun traffickers, the White House said.

A bystander told DailyMail.com he spotted Palin seated in the outside dining area of Elio's at around 10pm with a group of five or six people.

The New York Times reported the news, which does not make it a lock; but when it comes to progressive affairs, one can bet the grey lady has it right that the announcement is all-but-a-done-deal.While Biden is certain to pick a fire-breathing leftist for the forthcoming vacancy,

“Well, at least it can’t get any worse than this,” Joe Biden is thinking as he scans this Monmouth poll. Meanwhile, thousands of miles away, Vladimir Putin picks up the phone and gives the “go” order to his generals outside Ukraine…
Coupla real gut punches for Democrats in this new data from Monmouth. Biden has reached the lowest job approval of his presidency in their polling to date, crossing the political Mendoza line by falling from 40 percent last month to 39 now. Republicans also lead 51/43 on the generic ballot, an all but unheard of advantage for the GOP at this stage
Keep an eye on this story folks; there’s something else here. The FDA decision to block COVID-19 treatment options is very sketchy, and I sense that Florida Governor Ron DeSantis knows the science will not support the Biden administration. This story -when exposed- has the potential to bring down the Biden administration, big time… DeSantis senses it. Earlier today, Florida (snip) FDA decision to revoke monoclonal antibody treatments as a therapeutic option.

The Biden administration decided to send all Americans free COVID-19 tests to address the omicron surge. So far, the ordered tests are getting delivered unless you live in an apartment. As our editor Paula Boylard noted, those living in colder parts of the country may also have their tests left out in the cold. The COVID tests are not supposed to be stored in temperatures under 36° F. Fox’s Bill Hemmer received the four tests he ordered and noted another odd feature. According to Fox News:
