We reported Wednesday on how CNN’s Daniel Dale, who we’ve been told is the resident “fact checker” for the failing network, was told to “f*** off” after he sought comment from Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s office following a tweet in which she blamed Joe Biden for the fentanyl poisoning deaths of two brothers who died under the Trump administration.To recap, as you’ll see from the tweet below, Greene wrongly attributed their deaths to Biden’s lax southern border policies, but in the video she included, she spoke to the mother of the victims, Rebecca Kiessling, during a hearing this week and told her that “our government” must do more

Biden’s roller coaster of catastrophes

In a remarkable interview last Friday, ABC News anchor David Muir pulled back the curtain to reveal a President Joe Biden who seemed disconnected with the political reality swirling around him and his White House.
Here was a commander in chief unable to remember whether he had spoken with the mayor of a small Ohio town experiencing one of the worst chemical accidents in recent memory, a catastrophic train derailment that had dominated the news for three weeks.
Muir simply asked the president if he had talked with the mayor of East Palestine. Biden responded: “I can’t recall that I. I don’t think I’ve talked to the mayor.
I’d speculate that Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) ate his Wheaties Wednesday morning, but it appears, instead, that his breakfast consisted of Attorney General Merrick Garland, who is testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee as I write this.While questioning the AG about prosecutions brought under 18 U.S. Code § 1507, which prohibits picketing or parading in or near a court or judge’s residence with the intent of obstructing justice or influencing a judge, juror, or other court officer, Cruz lit into Garland and refused to let him weasel out of answering what should have been a simple yes-or-no question.
Below is just a sampling of their exchange:
Newly reelected Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, whose 19-point victory over Democrat Charlie Crist surprised him and most of the political establishment, said that a Republican should be able to repeat his win on the national stage if they follow his model of ignoring polls and governing with their gut.
In his campaign-style autobiography, The Courage to be Free, DeSantis wrote, “From day one, I was fully prepared to let the political chips fall where they may. That we not only succeeded electorally, but did so in dramatic fashion, demonstrates that doing good policy can lead to good politics.”The Republican, who won with the biggest margin in Florida in a generation, added,
We’re living in perilous times; the planet is plagued by primary problems. Fortunately, at least one American lawmaker is majoring in the majors.Florida state Senator Lauren Book recently surveyed the nation and noticed a pressing need. So she upheld her promise as a public servant and went to work whacking at it.
Excerpted from Section One of Democrat Lauren’s February 17th “animal welfare” bill:
A person may not…allow a dog to extend its head or any other body part outside a motor vehicle window while the person is operating the motor vehicle on a public roadway.
Why J6 Transparency Frightens the Democrats

For two years, the Democrats have insisted that, on Jan. 6, 2021, the republic was shaken to its foundations by an “insurrection” mounted by wild-eyed MAGA extremists. They attempted to reinforce this claim with a series of hyper-partisan hearings, complete with video edited for dramatic effect by a professional television producer. This left most of the footage captured by Capitol surveillance cameras on the cutting room floor, and the Democrats refused to release any of the unused video to the public. Thus, after the midterms, Kevin McCarthy pledged to make it public if elected speaker of the House. He kept his word, and the Democrats are clearly alarmed.
Activism can be messy — some sorts more than others. And in Massachusetts recently, a group got down to the dirty business of freeing females from stifling shame.
“Equity” is the word of the era, but it isn’t often mixed with menstruation. On January 28th, however, the two were transfused. Northeastern University hosted a conference combining forced outcome with a cyclical discharge of the uterine lining. Pro-woman group Mass NOW whipped up the Menstrual Equity Summit.
Per Mass NOW’s event page, the Summit featured University of Massachusetts Boston Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies Professor Chris Bobel — author of such works as The Managed Body: Developing Girls and Menstrual Health and
A Georgia Bulldog football player would like to know where the championship team’s invitation to visit the White House is and appealed directly to President Biden on Twitter. Defensive lineman Warren Brinson caused a stir on social media when he questioned the snub.(Snip)Good point.
All major sports teams who win national championships traditionally receive an invitation to the White House, even collegiate teams. The president officially congratulates the team and there are photo ops and press availabilities for the players. The team usually presents the president with a jersey. It’s a big deal for them. The tradition was disrupted during the pandemic
AState Department-backed group is severing its connections with a disinformation index group also backed by progressive megadoner George Soros – following reports about the group’s efforts to muzzle conservative media outlets by blacklisting them with advertisers.
The National Endowment for Democracy, a private foundation created by Congress whose funding is part of the State Department budget, said it will no longer provide grants to the Global Disinformation Index, according to The Washington Times.
"Recently, we became aware that one of our grantees, the Global Disinformation Index (GDI), was engaged in an initiative, funded by a different donor, that focused on specific U.S. media outlets,” the NED told the newspaper Tuesday.
Until a couple of decades ago, voting in the United States was a straightforward exercise that required registered voters to appear at local polling places on Election Day and cast their ballots in person. A small number were permitted to vote absentee if they were stationed overseas in the military or could show that they were otherwise unable to get to the polls. This system, with minor variations, was used in all 50 states and revealed the winners of most elections with alacrity. Though not perfect, it was generally efficient, secure, and trusted by the vast majority of voters.
House Democrat Leader Hakeem Jeffries asked other House Democrats to take a trip to the U.S.-Mexico border to better understand the situation brought about by the Biden border crisis. He wants them to gain a better understanding of what federal law enforcement and local communities face every day before they try to push immigration reform in Congress.Jeffries visited the district of Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX) in the Laredo area on Friday. He is on a multiday tour of the region to learn about the humanitarian crisis and the fentanyl epidemic that has resulted from the porous border during the Biden administration. Cuellar has been a rare voice among

Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California was hospitalized in recent days with shingles and is now being treated in her hometown of San Francisco, her office announced Thursday.
Feinstein missed a key vote Wednesday when the Senate voted 50 to 46 to block a Biden administration rule allowing retirement fund managers to consider environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors in investment decisions. She has also missed a pair of Senate Judiciary Committee hearings.
'I was diagnosed over the February recess with a case of the shingles. I have been hospitalized and am receiving treatment in San Francisco and expect to make a full recovery.
John Kerry condemned fossil fuels during remarks at the 2023 Our Ocean Conference in Panama.
Biden’s so-called Climate Envoy John Kerry traveled all the way to Brazil and Panama this week to lecture on the virtues of making sacrifices to stop climate change.
John Kerry said we are facing a climate change crisis because of “how we live” and the choices we make on a daily basis.
“That crisis is caused by unabated emissions from fossil fuels that burn so that we can propel our vehicles, heat our homes, light our businesses,” John Kerry said.
The Delaware Supreme Court lowered the passing score on the state's bar exam amid other changes reportedly intended to increase racial diversity among the state's lawyers. The 200-question multiple-choice exam will be offered twice instead of once a year beginning in 2024 – and its passing score will be lowered from 145 to 143, according to local outlet WHYY. The number of essays on the exam will be decreased from eight to four, and the number of essay topics will be reduced from 14 to 10. The clerkship requirement is also being lowered from 21 weeks to 12 weeks, and the
After a number of Trump-endorsed Republicans lost key elections in the midterms, the many wings of Rupert Murdoch’s media empire began to urge the party to move past the former president. Now that dynamic may be escalating in a way that could hurt his shot at the GOP nomination in 2024.
According to four Trump aides who spoke with Semafor, the former president is now facing an unofficial ban at Fox News, with the network refusing to book him or even talk much about him in the context of the Republican presidential primary. “It’s certainly — however you want to say, quiet ban, soft ban, whatever it is —
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said Thursday on CNN’s “The Lead” that Fox News was the “number one cause” of “erosion in our democracy” while discussing the Dominion Voting Systems lawsuit against FNC for defamation.
Schumer said, “The threat to our democracy may be greater than it ever has been before because when people doubt that the elections are for real, democracy is on edge. After all, the wellspring, the heart of our democracy, is that we trust the elections. You know, I worry that if this erodes, our democracy will erode, and my children and grandchildren will not grow up in the grand democracy that gave me,
A stunning report in Wednesday’s Washington Post details the tensions between FBI agents and Justice Department attorneys over the August raid of former President Donald Trump’s Florida home, Mar-a-Lago.
FBI officials were leery of the plan, and pleaded for a more measured approach, while DOJ prosecutors were hell-bent on a surprise incursion to search for classified documents:
Prosecutors argued that new evidence suggested Trump was knowingly concealing secret documents at his Palm Beach, Fla., home and urged the FBI to conduct a surprise raid at the property. But two senior FBI officials who would be in charge of leading the search resisted the plan as too combative
Just a couple of girls, living in the moment, discussing cootie-ridden boys! Just kidding, it was MSNBC’s Jonathan Capehart and Doug Emhoff, in a one-on-one interview where the eunuchs discussed “toxic masculinity” — something about which Emhoff has thought “a lot”. (Snip) First of all, let’s just be clear on one thing, because this is an area where conservatives forfeit ground to leftist Newspeak. “Gender” isn’t a word that applies to the human race, rather it is a word that applies to language — words, not people, are “gendered.” The left is right though on one thing: “gender” is a social construct, albeit one fabricated by pseudo-academic leftists.
What First Amendment?
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (NY) on Wednesday demanded Rupert Murdoch silence Tucker Carlson and other Fox News hosts.
“Order Tucker Carlson and other hosts on Fox News to stop spreading the Big Lie.” Schumer said.
Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries sent Rupert Murdoch a letter demanding he censor Fox News hosts.
“As noted in your deposition released yesterday, Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, and other Fox News personalities knowingly, repeatedly, and dangerously endorsed and promoted the Big Lie that Donald Trump won the 2020 presidential election.

After announcing his decision to live out his final days in hospice care at home, Jimmy Carter is being hailed as America's decent, humble president who cared about the so-called little people during his time in office.
And while his philanthropic work after leaving the White House speaks to that image, Secret Service agents who were on the 39th president's detail during his four-year term saw an entirely different man.

As soon as this month, air quality officials in the San Francisco Bay Area are expected to adopt the nation’s first rules phasing out new gas-fueled water heaters and furnaces in homes and businesses starting in 2027. When they do, it will mark a significant step in the effort to curb health-damaging and planet-warming emissions from buildings. The California Air Resources Board adopted plans last year to phase out sales of gas water heaters and furnaces statewide by 2030 but isn't going to consider setting rules to do so until 2025. The South Coast Air Quality Management District, which regulates
An Arizona school board member wearing cat ears during a meeting said she would oppose having a contract with a Christian university over the religious and Biblical beliefs they espouse, Fox News Digital found. The Washington Elementary School District, which serves students in the Phoenix and Glendale areas, had an ongoing contract with Arizona Christian University for five years, enabling their student teachers to be placed in its schools for field experience. The contract opened up opportunities for recruitment and hiring.
On Feb. 23, the board agreed on a motion to dissolve the partnership with the Christian university.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., blamed a member of her staff for not paying the "several thousands of dollars' worth of goods and services" for her attendance at the 2021 Met Gala. The House Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE) opened an investigation into whether Ocasio-Cortez violated House rules by improperly accepting gifts at the Met Gala, but the congresswoman claimed she was unaware and proceeded to let a staff member take the blame.
While speaking to investigators, Ocasio-Cortez said that she was unaware of unpaid expenses related to the dress she wore and stylists that helped her get ready for the Met Gala in 2021. "I just never, ever, ever would have
