Former President Donald Trump has reportedly been referring to Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) as "Meatball Ron" ahead of the latter's expected 2024 White House bid.
Trump has insulted the popular Florida governor in casual conversations, per the New York Times, describing him as "Meatball Ron," a likely jab at his appearance, and "Shutdown Ron," for his actions putting restrictions in place at the beginning of the COVID-19

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said it Friday: “Also new, uh, I also know uh, that Ben is making history.” She was referring to Ben LaBolt, the new White House communications director. “As you know,” Jean-Pierre struggled on, “we believe here, in the Biden-Harris White House, that representation matters, he will be the first openly, uh, gay, uh, um, uh, communications director, which is very, very important indeed.” It is? With the military shooting a series of strange and unexplained objects out of the sky, a nonexistent Southern border, skyrocketing inflation,

Kamala Harris is a living embodiment of the Peter Principle, where people keep getting promoted until they reach jobs for which they are clearly unqualified. More and more Americans think that describes our current vice president.
Harris is deeply unpopular with independents, who are essential for electoral success (fewer than one in three voters view her favorably), and she is losing popularity among Democratic Party leaders. They see her ineptitude, listen to her word salads, and watch the polls with dismay. The latest evidence of Harris’ fading position is a sharply critical article in the New York Times, of all places, filled with anonymous disapproval from senior Democrats

President Joe Biden has not addressed the American people about mysterious objects being shot out of the sky because the White House does not want to spark panic.
That was the answer given by Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Tuesday when she was asked why Biden had not made a televised speech on the issue.
She said he was taking the matter seriously and was being briefed regularly.
'And he's going to continue to do that,' she told reporters.
'We are sharing as much information as we can as possible ... but we do want to make sure that the American people understand that there's no need to panic.'

California Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein announced Tuesday that she will retire at the end of her term.
“I am announcing today I will not run for reelection in 2024, but intend to accomplish as much for California as I can through the end of next year when my term ends,” Feinstein said in her announcement.
At 89, Feinstein is the oldest senator who has held a seat representing California since 1992. She said she plans to spend the remainder of her tenure working on a few legislative priority projects for her state.
“I campaigned in 2018 on several priorities for California and the nation: preventing and combating wildfires, mitigating

With her announcement Tuesday, Republican Nikki Haley hopes to become the nation's first female president.
Throughout her political career, Haley, 51, has racked up a number of firsts.
She was the first female governor of South Carolina, the first minority governor of South Carolina and the first female-minority combo governor in the United States.
Haley was also, at one point, the youngest governor in the country.
When her husband Michael Haley deployed to Afghanistan in 2013, she became the first governor in U.S. history to have a spouse deployed.

President Joe Biden falsely claimed food prices are coming down after Tuesday’s inflation report revealed prices at the grocery store actually increased in January.
Delivering a Tuesday afternoon keynote address at the National Association of Counties, Biden falsely claimed inflation, including food prices, is coming down.
“Today’s report on inflation shows the good is that inflation in America is continuing to come down,” Biden claimed. “Food prices at the grocery store are coming down.”
But according to the consumer price index report released Tuesday morning, the price of food at home jumped 0.5 percent compared with December.

Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein told reporters on Tuesday that she had not 'released anything' about retiring from Congress after her office put out a statement announcing this was her last term.
'I haven’t made that decision. I haven't released anything,' she told reporters when asked about her emailed statement.
When a staffer mentioned the earlier announcement, she said, 'You put out the statement? I didn't know they put it out.'
The 89-year-old lawmaker is unquestionable a political titan, particularly so in California. But recent reports have raised concerns about her cognitive abilities at this advanced age, and have hastened the push for her to retire.

The gunman who killed three students and then himself at Michigan State University last night was arrested in 2019 for keeping a loaded gun in his car.
Anthony McRae, 43, opened fire on MSU campus at 8.18pm last night, shooting dead two kids at Berkey Hall before moving on to Union Hall, where he killed a third student.
His motive for the rampage remains unclear - he has no known ties to the school. Public records show McRae lived in Lansing with his father. His mother died last year.

Recently, an establishment called Nettie's House of Spaghetti in New Jersey announced they will no longer allow children under 10 to dine at their restaurant.
The move caused controversy, with some respondents applauding the policy and others accusing Nettie’s staff of being “child haters.” But the top commenter at MSN.com summed the issue up succinctly:
“We don't hate your kids,” she wrote. “We hate your parenting.”
Congratulations, madam, you won the Internet today.
If this seems a tempest in a teapot, know that it has implications for our entire society, because it reflects a deadly modern problem:
Too many Americans are failing to civilize their children.

This is the history of the transformation of a tiny area occupied by Zaporozhian Cossacks into the largest country in Europe after Russia, larger than France or Germany. How did Ukraine pull off an expansion of this magnitude without a single conquest? [Map] (Snip)
The historical record demonstrates that contemporary Ukraine emerged from a mosaic of lands assembled by Russian conquests and paid for with Russian blood and treasure. Except for a small area of the Zaporozhian Host (the red area on the map), Ukraine has no historical connection to the land it occupies and is the product of Russian geopolitical engineering.
