The January 6 committee was doomed from the start. Comprised of anti-Trump partisans picked by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), one of the most anti-Trump partisans of them all, the committee appeared destined to do a political hatchet job on the former president rather than expose the real derelictions of duty that gave rise to the absence of adequate protection for the Capitol that day. Despite conjecture to the contrary, there remains no actual proof sufficient to tie President Donald Trump to any crimes committed at the Capitol on January 6. He gave no order, and he took no action, to cause any single person to break into the Capitol
Seattle—The man accused of randomly attacking a woman at a Seattle light rail station will be paid $250 a day while the state remains unable to find him mental health help, a judge ordered Thursday.
Alexander Jay allegedly grabbed a woman and threw her down the stairs two times at the King Street light rail station in March. Jay is also accused of stabbing a woman 10 times at a bus stop on the same day. In April, Jay was found incompetent to stand trial and ordered to undergo 90 days of inpatient treatment.(Snip)The victim of the light rail station attack, Kim Hayes, addressed the court Thursday,
An aide to the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol said Thursday that the first public hearings, scheduled for prime time broadcast, would largely recapitulate what “has been reported” already.The Washington Post reported: Committee aides sought to temper expectations of any shocking revelations during Thursday’s hearing and instead framed the session as an opening argument. “[Thursday] night is connecting the dots,” said a second aide. “A lot of this has been reported and bits and pieces of it have been shared. But our aim is to tie all that together
Two individuals were transported to a local hospital after tumbling into a vat of chocolate inside an M&M factory in Elizabethtown, Pennsylvania, on Thursday.
Their conditions were unknown, Fox 31 reported, adding emergency dispatch said the rescue operation happened at the M&M Mars facility.
The Elizabethtown Borough Police Department also confirmed to Breitbart News the rescue took place and the employees are expected to be okay.
Yesterday we learned that the suspect in the attempted murder of Justice Kavanaugh showed up at his home with bags containing a gun, a knife, pepper spray, zip ties and tools to break into his house. He told investigators he wanted to give his life purpose by killing Kavanaugh (before killing himself). Today, media outlets have gotten hold of the two 911 calls that Roske made shortly after he arrived. He made two calls. The first one was about a minute and ended when he couldn’t tell the dispatcher exactly where he was located. But he called back a moment later, gave an address and spoke
Diary of disturbing disinformation and dangerous delusions..This slur: “Is it as obvious as it seems that domestic violent extremists are an important part of the voting coalition on the right?”— MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace, Tuesday — the day before a left-wing nut planned to kill Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh..We say: Don’t write off Wallace’s reality-free slur as mere bad timing. With the Justice Department labeling parents “domestic terrorists” and the left hyping (and distorting) fringe “white replacement theory” (while ignoring left-wing extremists, antifa, etc.), partisans like Wallace really do see right-wing terrorists around every corner.
Sometimes it’s best to say the quiet part very quietly. Especially if you are in a high profile position. Even if you are reasonable, factually accurate, and fair and balanced, it doesn’t matter. If the wacky, destructive leftists on Twitter decide to roast you, consider yourself roasted. And apologizing, whether you mean it or not, is essential.When you tackle hot button lefty issues like January 6th, George Floyd, Covid, abortion, and such, if you get a paycheck from a sports team, television network, production company, etc, you’d better tread lightly.(Tweet) This week, an NFL coach found that out the very hard way. Per Outkick:
Asheville—Police are searching for the person or people who spray-painted a local pregnancy services clinic with the words "If abortions aren't safe, neither are you!" and busted out windows, according to a news release.(Snip)"Upon arrival, officers found that someone had spray-painted the business with red graffiti, with the threatening wording, 'If abortions aren’t safe, neither are you!' and an anarchist symbol on the front of the building," the release says.

Joe Biden and the Democrats don’t want to have to talk about policies or any of the real issues afflicting the country right now. Because if they did, the focus would be on all their failures. That’s why they want the focus now to be on the Jan. 6 Committee and the show trial that they want to sell you.
Not only is it a show trial, it even has a producer, as my colleague Jeff Charles reported, like any TV drama — according to Axios, “James Goldston — former president of ABC News, and a documentary storyteller who ran ‘Good Morning America’ and ‘Nightline’ —
Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Democrats have 'absolutely no intention' of losing the House despite historic norms and dire polls suggesting otherwise and acquiesced that she would accept a more narrow gun control package from the Senate. In a wide-ranging briefing, the speaker proclaimed: 'We have absolutely no intention of losing the House.' As the party in the White House, the historical odds are not in the favor of Democrats, not to mention inflation and gas prices have dragged on Democrats' poll numbers. Republicans need a net gain of just five seats to take back the majority, and the Cook Report rates 26 Democratic-held seats as toss-up or leaning Republican.
President Joe Biden finally came face-to-face with the 'Trump of the Tropics,' Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro Thursday, telling him how he had visited the 'wonderful place' three times, including for the World Cup, and enjoyed its 'magnificent people.' Bolsonaro, who in the run-up to the Summit of the Americas meeting questioned Biden's 2020 win and also suggested he might not adhere to Brazil's October election result, defended his country's ability to hold fair elections, its environmental record and its decision to stay neutral in Russia's war against Ukraine. 'This year we will be having elections in Brazil and we do wish to have honest,
A suburban Chicago city has revoked the special permit for an upcoming gay pride parade over security staffing concerns following a spat in which local authorities were told that police officers would not be allowed to march in uniform. The group running the Aurora Pride Parade had been working with the Aurora Police Department to come up with a safety plan for the privately-run event, but a police spokesperson told Fox Chicago the department couldn't make it work.

After a yearlong investigation, the sham House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th began its first hearing Thursday night. The unprecedently partisan and unconstitutional committee is debuting never-before-seen recordings and documentation from closed-door depositions with Trump officials on primetime. Rep. Bennie Thompson kicked off the proceedings by playing the race card and deflecting the Democrat Party’s Ku Klux Klan legacy onto the GOP.

CEOs Chip Bergh from Levi Strauss (pictured, left), Lauren Hobart from Dick’s Sporting Goods (pictured, right), and 248 other company heads are sending a letter to the Senate on Thursday asking for more gun control.
Axios acquired a copy of the letter, which replicates a letter that was originally sent to Congress in 2019. There are some revisions to the message and an increased number of signatories.
The push to re-send the letter is the result of a partnership between Levi’s and Mike Bloomberg-affiliated Everytown for Gun Safety.
In the letter, CEOs describe gun violence as a “public health crisis,” noting economic impact of gun crime and the human cost of gun crime.
Donald Trump went on a lengthy rant attacking the House select committee investigating the January 6 attack on the US Capitol on Thursday, hours before the Democrat-led panel holds the first in a series of six hearings looking into the ex-president's role that day. And rather than downplaying the riot like he has in the past, Trump held it up as the 'greatest movement' in history and lashed out at the 'Unselect Committee' for not instead investigating the election fraud theories that motivated his supporters to storm the US Capitol last year.
South Carolina rep Nancy Mace is the typical DC political creature who sheds skin, changes position and manipulates sentences to obfuscate her DeceptiCon nature. In essence, she is the epitome of a new Nikki Haley, so it doesn’t come as a surprise to see Haley and the DeceptiCon crew circle the wagons to protect Mace from the primary challenge of Katie Arrington.
Nikki Haley and her donor allies are pouring money into Mace’s district and putting all their clout behind her race. However, Donald Trump has endorsed Katie Arrington, who is the favorite of the grass roots MAGA base. If South Carolina republicans want to hit Mitch McConnell and his
Joe Biden was speaking at the Summit of the Americas on Thursday.
As we’ve already noted, it hasn’t been going well. Biden stumbled up the stairs as he was boarding Air Force One for Los Angeles. Then, Biden was met by a protester rushing the motorcade who had to be subdued. Meanwhile, a lot of the countries didn’t show up because of the poor way that the Biden team dealt with the event. While objecting to the human rights violations of Cuba, Nicaragua, and Venezuela is a good thing and we should encourage that, how weak is it if
Former Education Secretary Betsy DeVos is revealing for the first time the extent of her revulsion at former President Donald Trump's inability to 'do what he could have done' to try to counter the events of January 6th, she said in a new interview. DeVos resigned her post on Jan. 7, 2020–calling the riot the previous day and Trump's rhetoric an 'inflection point.' Now in a new interview promoting a book, she says she discussed using the 25th Amendment to remove Trump from office–and says she faulted Trump for failing to 'address the situation.' She even raised the 25th Amendment issue directly with Vice President Mike Pence,
Disney has ousted a top executive who slammed Florida’s anti-grooming, Parental Rights in Education law as “a violation of fundamental human rights.”
Peter Rice was fired from his post as Chairman of Walt Disney Television and Co-Chair, Disney Media Networks, and will replace him with Dana Walden, Chairman of Entertainment, Walt Disney Television, according to a report by Deadline.
Rice, who spoke out against Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R)’s Parental Rights in Education law, joined Disney in 2019, after the company acquired 21st Century Fox.
In March, Rice told The Hollywood Reporter that he viewed the anti-grooming legislation in Florida as “a violation of fundamental human rights.”
Washington Post fired national political reporter Felicia Sonmez after her continuous criticism of the newspaper, according to multiple sources.
The Post terminated her Thursday afternoon, though the Post declined to comment due to privacy concerns, the Daily Beast first reported.

Bracing for the January 6 House committee's public hearing on Thursday, former President Donald Trump attacked the panel's probe in a series of statements on his Truth Social account, arguing the real investigation should have been on the "rigged and stolen" election and not on the riot at the Capitol."The Unselect Committee didn't spend one minute studying the reason that people went to Washington, D.C., in massive numbers, far greater than the Fake News Media is willing to report, or that the Unselects are willing to even mention, because January 6th was simply not a protest," Trump wrote on Thursday morning.

Trump's .943 batting average

Nothing beats success like success. President Donald John Trump's victories in the Republican primaries have convinced me that I was wrong. Endorsing candidates rocked. He is 116-7 for a 94.3% success rate. That translates into a .943 batting average.
In Tuesday's primaries, he went 16-0. A 17th race -- Ryan Zinke's bid for Congress in Montana -- is undecided but he is ahead by 1.5 points.
Sure, many of those hits were singles. Kristi Noem never was at risk in her bid for the Republican nod for another term as governor of South Dakota.
But singles add up. Pete Rose had 3,215 career singles on his way to a 4,256-hit career,
Of all the crazy policies we see implemented around us, from decriminalizing theft to teaching children to change their “gender,” perhaps the craziest is government’s determination to force us to drive electric vehicles. EVs like the Tesla are perfectly fine cars, or would be if they weren’t subsidized or mandated. But they are terrible for the environment, and the conditions under which their materials are mined raise serious ethical questions.
Ronald Stein makes excellent points in his column titled “Is it ethical to purchase a lithium battery powered EV?”

On the day the Jan. 6 committee hearings began, the American Conservative Union launched a website to publish information about the attack. (Photo) The site, J6Facts.org, was created to "debunk the lies told by the corrupt members of the January 6th Committee," according to a Twitter account by the same name. This Twitter account also seemingly launched Thursday, issuing its first tweet that day. As of this report, the account has 239 followers."It’s a place to go and get the facts," ACU Chairman Matt Schlapp explained. He also claimed it will be run by political operatives.
Great Reset. Green New Deal. Build Back Better. New World Order. Bilderberg. Davos. Council on Foreign Relations. World Health Organization. The list of secretive global societies and their mission directives for humanity are daunting. Many people who would prefer to be left alone to live their lives free from government interference have an understandable sense of impending doom. The COVID Crisis showed Westerners how quickly (and easily) their governments would impose unilateral mandates against their will, destroying any illusion that self-congratulating "democracies" have any more respect for individual rights or bodily autonomy than the authoritarian regimes the West routinely condemns.
Former President Donald Trump on Thursday said the Jan. 6 Capitol attack "was not simply a protest, it represented the greatest movement in the history of our Country to Make America Great Again."Trump made the remark on his Truth Social platform, publishing it ahead of the first of six televised hearings by the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 riot. He referred to the panel as the "Unselect Committee," The Independent reports, and again falsely claimed that the election was rigged.President Biden also commented on the Capitol attack on Thursday, saying during a meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau that the assault was

A radical left-wing pro-abortion group known as Ruth Sent Us, sent a very disturbing, unsettling “special message” on Wednesday to the family of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.The message in question was delivered the very same day an armed man, Nicholas John Roske, was arrested near his home. Roske had told authorities he had planned to kill Kavanaugh and then himself because he was mad about the leaked draft opinion that suggests the court voted to overturn Roe v.

The U.S. is indirectly paying an airline controlled by the Taliban to fly out Afghans seeking safety, according to a new report, following the chaotic departure of American troops last year.
Washington is committed to helping rescue Afghans who helped U.S. forces or who fear for their lives after working for the former government. But with no diplomatic representation in the country it is reliant on Qatar, which maintains relations with the Taliban, to make arrangements to fly Afghans out of the country en route to the U.S. Four sources told NBC News that Qatar is buying plane tickets in bulk from Ariana Afghan Airlines, the country’s state-owned airline.
It's been 17 exhausting months since Jan. 6, 2021, the Left's self-proclaimed 9/11. Gas prices are hitting historic highs, inflation is through the roof, and baby formula is nowhere to be seen, but the Democrats are ignoring the compiling crises to televise Watergate-styled House hearings on the Capitol riot.A majority of sensible Americans have moved on, now worrying about the high cost of living and rampant crime in their communities, but progressives with the obsessive vengeance of career cyberbully and professional victim Taylor Lorenz have beaten the dead J6 horse into the grave.
Carrie Severino, president of the Judicial Crisis Network, said on Thursday that Attorney General Merrick Garland did little in his capacity as head of the U.S. Department of Justice to prosecute criminal threats against his former collegue, Justice Brett Kavanaugh.Garland was a federal judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit between 1997 and 2020, including seven years as the court’s chief judge. Kavanaugh served as a federal judge alongside Garland on the same court between 2006 and 2018.

Just 24% of Hispanic voters and 49% of black voters said they approve of Biden’s work.Although elected with the most votes in US history, Biden’s support cratered about seven months into office during the chaotic US pullout from Afghanistan
I’ve been promising to collect our own lexicon of the real meaning of key leftist terms—an undated version of Ambrose Bierce’s Devil’s Dictionary, for a while now. So here goes. Readers are encouraged to propose additional definitions and terms in the comment thread, and we’ll update this lexicon from time to time.
Populism: When the wrong person or cause wins a free election, like Brexit, Trump, or a Soros DA recall.
Racism: Any opposition to the agenda of the left.
Democracy: Any institutional design or voting system that enables the left to get what it wants.
Threat to democracy: When Republicans win an election.
Equality: Outmoded idea from the Declaration of Independence.
The Air Force revealed there's a design flaw in former President Donald Trump's wish to paint the presidential plane in his signature red, white and dark blue colors. Trump's plan for the two new 747s being built into flying White Houses called for the underside of the plane and its engine area to be painted dark blue. But that could contribute to excessive temperatures on the plane, a problem that Boeing would have to pay out-of-pocket to fix, Politico reported.
Boeing has already lost nearly $1.1 billion so far in converting two 747 aircraft into new Air Force Ones and its CEO has expressed regret at taking on

‘Flew Under the Radar,’ Described
as ‘Socially Awkward’ replies
Former classmates, colleagues, and friends of the California man accused of attempting to assassinate Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh early Wednesday described him as a friendly but sometimes “socially awkward” young man who tended to fly “under the radar.”
None of the people who spoke to National Review said they had reason to believe that Nicholas John Roske, 26, of Simi Valley, would be a threat to kill anyone. Roske’s grandfather, Dan Shannon, told CBS Los Angeles that his grandson was a “good kid,” and the allegations against him are “extremely” out of character for him.
A former colleague of Roske’s said he did not stand out
It wasn’t that long ago when the left’s narrative on ‘gay rights’ was simple, straightforward, and easy to support: Let’s all be tolerant of one another, live and let live, and don’t discriminate. Tolerance is, after all, one of the fundamental tenets of the philosophy which drove America’s founding. But as the saying goes, “give someone an inch and they’ll take a mile,” which is the situation in which we find ourselves today.
The message of ‘tolerance’ eventually morphed into ‘acceptance.’ At some point late in the Obama Administration, our culture decided that it was inadequate to merely tolerate the shenanigans of the LGBTQ community, we needed to welcome them.
In April, a black nationalist terrorist named Frank James opened fire on the downtown N subway train in Manhattan. While the racist gunman had a large stockpile of weapons, he happened to use a Glock pistol that he had bought over ten years ago. Now Glock is being sued.
James bought the gun in Columbus, Ohio in 2011. So he quite clearly didn’t purchase it, intending to shoot up a New York City subway train. Nevertheless the lawsuit blames the gunmaker for having "contributed to creating and maintaining a public nuisance in the State of New York" even though the gun wasn't even sold in New York.
As the rare virus monkeypox continues to spread across the U.S., now having been detected 40 times in 15 states and the District of Columbia, some are raising concerns about the national stockpile of drugs to deal with the infection.

The national average for gas prices in the United States has surpassed the $5 mark for the first time in history, according to one measure on Thursday. According to GasBuddy, the average has risen to $5 per gallon after an increase of several cents over the last few days. Various factors have influenced the rise in prices over the last several months. Experts say that the spike recently has been mostly affected by rising demand for the summer season and limited capacity at U.S. and foreign refineries.

He died at Kings County Hospital Monday. Surveillance video released by the NYPD shows he fell backward after a man he was walking down the sidewalk with punched him without warning in the head.
Of all the shortages that I have reported in recently, a possible coffee bean shortage must be ranked among the most dire.
It turns out coffee bean reserves have plunged to their lowest since the 2000s.
…Stockpiles of high-end Arabica beans, a favourite of artisan coffee shops and chains such as Starbucks, totalled 1.078 million bags, or about 143 million pounds, according to data released Monday by the ICE Futures US exchange.”
Brazil is the world’s top coffee producer. By the 1820’s it was already producing thirty percent of the world’s coffee. Today, it produces a third of the world’s coffee with 40 to 60 million bags annually.
It’s probably not something you want to hear on a Thursday morning, but Procter & Gamble is blaming Amy Schumer for the national tampon shortage.
Didn’t know there was a national tampon shortage? Well, there is, among all the country’s other woes. Actually, the shortage of tampons might explain the country’s other woes.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Nearly a year since its inception, the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol will go public with its findings starting this week as lawmakers hope to show the American public how democracy came to the brink of disaster.
The series of hearings that will take place over the next several weeks begin with a prime-time session Thursday night in which the nine-member panel plans to give an overview of its 11-month investigation. More than 1,000 people have been interviewed by the panel, and only snippets of that testimony have been revealed to the public, mostly through court filings.
PHOENIX -- Police have identified the suspect arrested in connection to the brutal beating of a woman at a Cricket Wireless store in Phoenix. Police say 33-year-old Michael Cook attempted to rob the cellphone store near 43rd Avenue and Bethany Home Road on Saturday around 5:15 p.m. After punching and kicking a woman multiple times, he left the scene with stolen items.
Court documents say Cook hit the woman 13 times in the head and face. As she was hit, she dropped her phone, and Cook picked it up. Police say the woman managed to escape by running to a local business to call for help.
On May 3, 1972, at age 21, University of Chicago student Sheila Smith found herself and six female friends in the back of a police paddy wagon, eating a stack of three-by-five index cards, each one inked with the name and number of a woman seeking an illegal abortion. “My first day of learning how to assist was the day I got arrested,” Smith, now 71, told The Post. But Smith was more concerned about protecting the identities of the women she helped end unwanted pregnancies than facing 110 years in jail on 11 counts of abortion and conspiracy to commit abortion.(Snip)Now, 40 years later, their story
During an appearance on Wednesday’s broadcast of FNC’s “Jesse Watters Tonight,” Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) warned there could be more trouble ahead in the wake of the threat aimed at Supreme Court Associate Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s life uncovered earlier in the day.
Graham blamed rhetoric from Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and the inaction of Attorney General Merrick Garland for what he deemed to be the “logical extension” of the threat of violence.
A U.S. senator was stunned during his recent border trip when he saw an illegal immigrant who’d just jumped the boundary in a Versace dress. Sen. James Lankford, fresh off a Memorial Day trip to the border in Yuma, Arizona, reported back to colleagues this week on the piles of wall-building materials he saw rusting in the elements, just a mile down the road from a gap in the border wall where migrants could pour through with ease. The Oklahoma Republican said illegal crossers will step over the boundary and wait for Border Patrol agents to come pick them up, figuring—usually correctly—that they’ll be processed and quickly released

Guard to Capitol four days before Jan.
6 riots, memo shows replies
The Pentagon first raised the possibility of sending National Guard troops to the U.S. Capitol four days before the Jan. 6 riots, setting in motion a series of rejections by Capitol Police and Democrats that left Congress vulnerable as threats of violence were rising, according to government memos that validate Trump administration officials' long-held claims. An official timeline of the Jan. 6 tragedy assembled by Capitol Police shows that a Defense Department official reached out to a Capitol Police deputy chief, Sean Gallagher, on Jan. 2, 2021 to see if a request for troops was forthcoming, but the offer was quickly rejected after a consultation with then-Chief Steve Sund.
House Democrats on Wednesday stalled a bill that would have provided additional security for Supreme Court Justices on the same day a man was arrested for attempting to murder Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) made a unanimous consent request on the House floor to bring up S. 4160 for a vote. S. 4160, which passed the Senate by a unanimous vote, would have allocated additional security for the justices’ family members.
Despite McCarthy’s request, Speaker Pelosi and the Democrats failed to comply with McCarthy’s proposal to bring the bill to vote.
It’s a biological fact that, generally speaking, males in relation to females are naturally larger, more physical, more ambitious, stronger, faster, cruder, stinkier, more competitive and hornier. Those traits are wired into them as tightly as the DNA in their Y chromosome, and are all awash in the testosterone hormone produced in their testicles.
At times, those traits can be problematic. At other times, they can save the day, save the world, or save a child.
But men are out of fashion these days. Boys, too.
Mind you,
Today the Missouri attorney general announced subpoenas of seven school districts in response to parent complaints of racist instruction and intrusive surveys administered to their children allegedly without prior parental notice. Attorney General Eric Schmitt’s office also posted Wednesday a public database of open records investigations into 49 Missouri school districts that uncovered the systemic abuse of public schooling for political purposes.
The investigation uncovers Missouri public schools forcing students to participate in exercises that shame children for their skin color and teaching that races are inherently unequal, which violate the Fourteenth Amendment
In drought-plagued Southern California, the comrades have ways of making you obey.
Fresh after nixing a new plan for a desalinization plant to provide water to residents during these water-lean times, they'd rather target individual water wasters at residences. They're putting "flow restrictors" on residential taps to stomp out "water wasters," same way Stalin's men worked to stomp out wreckers and hoarders.
Apparently, paying higher bills for excess water use is simply not enough.
Coercion is better.
Water your lawn, get your water clamped to a trickle.
The FBI deceived the House, Senate and the Justice Department about the substance and strength of evidence undergirding its counterintelligence investigation of President Trump, according to a recently declassified document and other material.
A seven-page internal FBI memo dated March 8, 2017, shows that "talking points" prepared for then-FBI Director James Comey for his meeting the next day with the congressional leadership were riddled with half-truths, outright falsehoods, and critical omissions. Both the Senate and the House opened investigations and held hearings based in part on the misrepresentations made in those FBI briefings,
As the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6 Attack prepares to stage a show trial of Donald Trump on Capitol Hill this week, I have filed a lawsuit challenging the Select Committee’s gross violations of the Constitution’s separation of powers.
Yes, congressional committees do have the power to investigate. Yet, they can only do so in pursuit of a “legislative function,” e.g., to enact new rules, regulations, or policies.
What settled law explicitly rules out is the pursuit of a “judicial function” in which a congressional committee seeks to act as judge, jury, and executioner. That clearly violates the separation of powers – punishment is reserved exclusively for the judicial branch.
President Joe Biden made time out of his busy schedule to schmooze with leftist late-night host Jimmy Kimmel who was visibly frustrated that gun control executive orders weren’t being implemented left and right. Kimmel advised the president on Wednesday night, “I think you need to start yelling at people,” in reference to those who would not get on board with gun control.The leftist host was flummoxed over Biden’s inability to solve gun control, abortion, and climate change issues. He cheered on every potentially heavy-handed move that Biden could possibly make to control those issues.
Grab the popcorn and the Red Vines (Twizzlers, if you’re on the East Coast), put up your feet, and prepare to get excited–it’s the primetime Jan 6 hearings, broadcast live Thursday at 8 pm Eastern on ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, and MSNBC. Fox News is choosing to stick to its regular lineup, which makes sense because its evening shows often pull in over 3 million viewers each.No word on if there will be a halftime show, or if Beyonce has agreed to perform in it.Skip your plans to go see “Top Gun: Maverick” because this hearing might be even more exciting.

Speculation is rife concerning the possible presidential candidates representing the two major parties as the nation approaches the 2024 elections. Everyone has an opinion, and the pundits are competing in the expertise sweepstakes. What can we say with some degree of plausibility?
The Democrat roster is, by all accounts, dramatically uninspiring. Biden, who speaks in tongues, is plainly beyond redeeming; the question is whether he will manage to survive the year, let alone stumble, lollop, and whiffle to the end of his first term. Kamala Harris belongs in vaudeville or farce, given her talent for provoking laughter. Both will have to be retired in favor of an electable candidate. But who?
President Joe Biden used his first in-person appearance on a late-night talk show since taking office to take shots at his White House predecessor and the “hard right” Republican party in an interview that was dominated by gun control talk.Biden also touched on a number of other hot-button issues like abortion rights, climate change and inflation during his Wednesday night appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” — which came about four months after his last on-the-record interview with a reporter.The president knocked former President Donald Trump during the roughly 20-minute Q&A when host Jimmy Kimmel questioned the possible use of executive orders
The Justice Department appears to still be allowing protesters to gather outside of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s home even after police arrested a man who allegedly intended to assassinate him.Video on Wednesday showed protesters marching in front of the justice’s home shouting pro-abortion slogans. The protesters also made their way over to Chief Justice John Roberts’ home as well. (Tweets/Videos) Police arrested California resident Nicholas John Roske, 26, near Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s house in Maryland on Wednesday after he had allegedly traveled there to murder the sitting judge to protect Roe v. Wade.
When we conservatives decline to volunteer as a dish in the progressive buffet, the leftists have no choice but to feed upon each other. We will see more of it as conservatives wake up and smell the kombucha – leftists only win when they can bully and intimidate, and if we choose not to let them do that to us, then it's not as if they will give up their go-to move. No, they will turn on each other, and we will gobble up the Orville Redenbacher as they fight to the death for our amusement. And we are amused.
New Biden Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre yesterday ignored the First Law of Holes and kept on digging. It’s been a rough start for the Psaki successor, reading from notes rather than spontaneously answering questions, and cutting off briefings and walking out as reporters continue to shout questions.
But yesterday, trying to defend the miserable mismanagement of the economy, she fully escaped the bounds of reality and entered what must be the Twilight Zone. Precisely nobody will believe this:
"What we're trying to say, what I'm trying to say to you, is that the economy is in a better place than it has been historically."
The New York Post reports that YouTube deleted a video it posted about the Jan. 6, 2021, incursion into the Capitol building.
“In the video, Aaron Mostofsky, son of a Brooklyn Supreme Court judge, explains why he was compelled to come to the Capitol, namely ‘to express … [his] opinion as a free American … that this election was stolen’,” the Post says.
YouTube’s censors says they deleted the video because “it’s our job to make sure that YouTube is a safe place for all,” and that “content that advances false claims that widespread fraud … changed the outcome of the U.S. 2020 presidential election is not allowed.”
Hunter Biden is one of the most deeply disturbed, even revolting, people known to the American public. Yet Miranda Devine, at the New York Post, says there’s evidence that the person on whom Joe Biden is relying for political advice isn’t his wife, chief of staff, or former boss, despite what everyone thinks. Instead, it’s Hunter Biden. That would certainly explain both why and how our country is going so quickly to Hell in a handbasket.
It's almost impossible to exaggerate just what an appalling man Hunter Biden is.
For anyone in doubt concerning why the Jan. 6 Select Committee scheduled Thursday’s public hearing for primetime, NBC’s Yamiche Alcindor recently provided an explanation during a discussion with Andrea Mitchell. Noting that Americans are worried about gas prices, inflation, and shortages, Alcindor admitted that the hearing is a distraction: “These lawmakers are going to try now to have a narrative to focus the country’s attention to say, ‘Look at this thing.’” Alcindor said the committee is trying to save democracy but fears the public isn’t paying attention.
As our aged president appears to be slipping cognitively, as well as slipping literally on the stairs of Air Force One, as he did again Wednesday, the whole world is wondering who really is in charge at the White House. Is it exhausted chief of staff Ron Klain calling the shots behind the scenes? Is it Biden’s “Sherpa,” White House counselor Steve Ricchetti? Is it first lady Jill Biden? But there is another alarming prospect: the “smartest man” Joe Biden knows, his son, the crack addict-turned-blowpipe artist Hunter Biden.(Snip)
