replace Feinstein on Judiciary Committee
Posted By: Dreadnought, 4/18/2023 4:27:01 PM
Washington — Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said GOP senators will not help Democrats temporarily replace Sen. Dianne Feinstein on the powerful Senate Judiciary Committee, ending any hopes among Democrats that Republicans would allow them to push through judicial nominations as the California Democrat recovers from an illness. "Let's be clear: Senate Republicans will not take part in sidelining a temporarily absent colleague off a committee just so Democrats can force through their very worst nominees," McConnell said on the Senate floor on Tuesday, calling it an "unusual request." Democrats need Feinstein to help push through President Biden's judicial nominees

EXCLUSIVE: Republican Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody is calling on Congress to investigate the Biden administration over its alleged poor treatment of unaccompanied migrant children detained in the state after a grand jury accused the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) of "complete abdication of responsibility" for their welfare.
"A Florida Grand Jury found shocking and horrific evidence of the Biden administration facilitating human trafficking and child exploitation of unaccompanied minors. It should enrage everyone that any child is being exposed to such danger and terrible conditions," Moody told Fox News Digital in a Monday statement.
"I’m calling on Congress to conduct hearings to further the investigation,
President Joe Biden railed against House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s preliminary budget plan at the White House on Tuesday.
While speaking about what the White House has termed the “care economy,” Biden attacked McCarthy and House Republicans’ preliminary budget plan to lift the debt ceiling until May 2024, create ten-year spending caps, claw back unspent coronavirus aid money, and enact a sweeping energy bill, the Lower Energy Costs Act, work requirement, along with the REINS Act. McCarthy will likely try to pass the plan before April 28 to increase the Republicans’ negotiating ability with Biden, who has refused to negotiate with the House. McCarthy will likely try to pass
The CBC is in a huff about being labeled government-funded media, despite being…government-funded media.
It’s a replay of NPR’s and the BBC’s complaints that Twitter is stating truths about their ties to the government. “We have integrity!,” they declare while proving the opposite by trying to deny a manifest truth. You would think that denying an easily demonstrated fact would be proof that they have no integrity at all, but plenty of liberals share their outrage.
Well, let me give a simple example of how the CBC in particular lies with a straight face about their finances.
Take, for example, this chart. On its face, it seems pretty obvious that government
Trump knocks DeSantis over Disney feud

Former President Trump on Tuesday knocked Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) for actions against Disney in the state, saying the governor is “being absolutely destroyed” by the company.
“DeSanctus is being absolutely destroyed by Disney. His original P.R. plan fizzled, so now he’s going back with a new one in order to save face,” Trump said on Truth Social, referring to the Florida governor by a nickname.
Trump speculated that “Disney’s next move will be the announcement that no more money will be invested in Florida because of the Governor. In fact, they could even announce a slow withdrawal or sale of certain properties, or the whole thing. Watch!

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — The Trump-DeSantis primary battle is now a two-sided affair. After sidestepping former President Donald Trump and his allies for weeks, a group of Florida GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis supporters have begun to push back amid a flurry of criticism from the former president.
Never Back Down, the super PAC supporting DeSantis, came out swinging with two new videos that take direct aim at Trump. One that came out the same day that Trump addressed the National Rifle Association said he sided with Democrats on some gun regulations.
“Trump the gun-grabber doesn’t deserve a second chance,” the video maintains. Then came a second one on Sunday
PORTLAND, Ore. — The REI store in Portland's Pearl District will close at the end of February 2024, the company announced on Monday.
In a letter to REI members, the company cited concerns over safety and an increase in crime over the last few years as reasons for the closure.
"The safety of our employees, members and customers is always our number one priority. In recent years, Portland has been dealing with increased crime in our neighborhood and beyond. Last year, REI Portland had its highest number of break-ins and thefts in two decades, despite actions to provide extra security," REI said in its letter.
The FBI has arrested two men accused of running a covert station for China’s police force in New York, and using it as a base to track Chinese dissidents living in the US.
The station, in Manhattan’s Chinatown, was allegedly set up in February 2022 and operated by Beijing’s ministry of public security (MPS) as part of a campaign of transnational repression against Chinese pro-democracy activists and other political opponents around the world. The justice department also announced charges on Monday against 40 MPS officers and four others for allegedly running an internet troll operation against dissidents in the US, creating fake social media accounts to harass them and recruiting
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis announced Monday that the state legislature is preparing a bill to revoke development agreements that a Disney-controlled special district board provided to the company before a state-controlled board took the reins in March.
DeSantis said the Disney-controlled board offered special deals to Disney, in “direct defiance of the will of the people of Florida.” Disney, he said, essentially was negotiating with itself to prevent the state from taking control of development in the district.
“That’s not going to work,” he said. “That’s not going to fly.”
Twitter CEO Elon Musk said that U.S. government agencies had “full access” to directed messages on the platform in an excerpt of an interview with Tucker Carlson released Sunday afternoon.
“The degree to which various government agencies had effectively had full access to everything that was going on on Twitter blew my mind. I was not aware of that,” Musk tells Fox News anchor Carlson in one clip cut from a longer interview set to air Monday night.
“Would that include people’s DMs?” Carlson asked.
“Yes,” Musk responded. In another clip posted on Monday morning, Carlson jokes with Musk about Twitter’s recent decision to remove the New York Times blue verification
'Many of those who supported the special operation yesterday are now in doubt, or categorically against what is happening'
Yevgeny Prigozhin, chief of Russia’s notorious mercenary Wagner group, on Saturday urged President Vladimir Putin to stop the “special military operation,” as the Kremlin calls the war in Ukraine. In his op-ed about the current situation on the frontline posted on Telegram, Prigozhin, who lost thousands of militants in the battle of Bakhmut, suggested that Moscow should declare victory in the Ukraine war. “The ideal option is to announce the end of the SMO (special military operation), to inform everyone that Russia has achieved the results that it planned for,
Governor Ron DeSantis was briefly interrupted in the middle of his speech at the Republican Party’s Amos Tuck fundraiser dinner in New Hampshire on Friday night. Protesters stormed the stage chanting, “Jews against DeSantis!”
The Florida governor was in the middle of section of his speech talking about upcoming “governor races, president races,” when two women tried to unfurl a banner emblazoned with “Ron Desantis: Loves Israel, Hates Jews” written in black on a banner before it was quickly ripped as they were escorted off the stage.
“You gotta have a little spice in the speech, right? I mean, you gotta have a little fun,”

Virginia Democrat Sen. Tim Kaine gave the FBI his approval to investigate Catholic parishes in his own state on Monday. (snip)
Kaine said Monday that the FBI has been running similar surveillance of American Muslims.
“We’ve done the same thing for years working in tandem with mosques because there have been groups that have tried to target or radicalize, especially young people,” the senator said.

As the seasons change and the weather warms, American adults are yet again being subjected to the uncomfortable spectacle of teenage girls wearing outfits more befitting a runway show than a school, a store, or any other public setting. Every winter I hope the trend loses steam or reverses, but every spring it returns worse (snip)
I wish there were a way I could word this in a less tawdry manner, but I can’t, so I’ll just be blunt: Mom and Dad, we can see the bottom of your teenage daughter’s ass. And we shouldn’t be seeing the bottom of your teenage daughter’s ass.
Jim Hoft previously reported 51 former intelligence officials in October 2020 signed and published a letter that baselessly decried the contents of Hunter’s ‘laptop from hell’ had “all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.”
The deep state stooges claimed the laptop looked like Russian disinformation without citing any actual evidence to back up the claim. Rather, the officials based their fallacious statements on their so-called experience.
Reporters led by Natasha Bertrand, who wrote the original Politico article citing the intelligence officials, knew the officials’ claims were completely false yet they chose to gaslight the public anyway.

over civil war, Second Amendment: 'It's infuriating' 26 replies
2024 presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy angered "CNN This Morning" host Don Lemon during a debate on gun rights for Black Americans while on-air.
In the heated exchange, Lemon took offense to Ramaswamy’s recent statements at an NRA conference last week about Democrats in the south instituting gun laws to prevent African Americans from protecting their newfound rights in the post-Civil War era.
Lemon reduced Ramaswamy’s point to a declaration that the Civil War was fought merely to give Black people gun rights and berated him for it, telling him the statement "insulted" him as a Black American.
A Missouri school district plans to include the personal pronouns “they/them” in math problems and hire certified teachers as “math interventionists” to fight racism and gender bias in math classes after a curriculum evaluation.
“A persistent myth within math education is that since ‘numbers are universal,’ math classrooms are objective and free of bias,” says the Webster Groves School District’s Math Program Evaluation, which was presented Thursday during a Board of Education meeting.
“Research shows clearly that any space where learning occurs is neither free of bias nor resistant to oppressive systems such as racism, sexism, classism or xenophobia,” Susan Bergman, the district’s math curriculum director, wrote
The Arizona House voted 46-13 to expel State Rep. Liz Harris (R-Chandler) on Wednesday after conducting an investigation into her bringing a witness to testify to the Senate Elections Committee, who accused legislators and other public officials of committing crimes. Jacqueline Breger told the committee that Democratic Governor Katie Hobbs, State House Speaker Ben Toma (R-Peoria) and others executed fraudulent deeds as part of a bribery scheme involving the Sinaloa drug cartel, along with other accusations.
Last weekend, a flash mob of up to 500 Chicago young people — mostly teens — descended on downtown and began to burn cars, terrorize tourists, smash windows, and fight among themselves in a no-longer-shocking display of lawlessness and mayhem.
Some Chicago leaders appeared frightened. “We’ve had more than our share of downtown mass arrest incidents going back over a decade. This is not new,” 2nd Ward Alderman Brian Hopkins said. “What is new is to have it happen three days in a row.”
The police were paralyzed and ended up quarreling with other agencies about who was in charge and who was at fault.
Prior to the 2020 election, The Gateway Pundit released sordid details from the Hunter Biden laptop. The mainstream media and regime lapdogs refused to report on the criminal conduct of Hunter Biden, Joe Biden, and the Biden Crime Family, in order to protect them days before the 2020 election.
The Gateway Pundit reported in October 2020 on Hunter Biden’s Russian orgies, his many nights with Russian hookers, his father wiring him money for his prostitutes, and his fears of being blackmailed by the Putin regime.
A $787.5 million settlement has been reached in Dominion Voting Systems' $1.6billion defamation case against Fox News.
After an hours-long delay, Judge Eric Davis entered the courtroom just before 4pm and thanked the jurors as he dismissed them with the simple words, 'The parties have resolved their case.'
After the jury was dismissed attorneys for both parties thanked the court. Judge Davis in turn complimented their professionalism throughout.This brings an end to the contentious case that saw the voting machine company accuse the cable news network of 'giving life' to a 'manufactured storyline' about voter fraud after the 2020 election.
International legal “experts” — backed by the United Nations — have released a report stating sex with minors is perfectly acceptable.
“Sexual conduct involving persons below the domestically prescribed minimum age of consent to sex may be consensual in fact, if not in law,” according to the International Commission of Jurists (ICJ). You can read that part for yourself on page 12.
FACT-O-RAMA! The pedo-loving report is called “The 8 March Principles for a Human Rights-Based Approach to Criminal Law Proscribing Conduct Associated with Sex, Reproduction, Drug Use, HIV, Homelessness and Poverty.”
The shocking legal “recommendations” were released purposely last month on March 8, which is International Women’s Day.
Kneeling could be an avenue to rise through the ranks at the FBI, judging by promotions for two agents who did so in solidarity with Black Lives Matter protesters.
One of the two agents appears in a video for her alma mater saying that the FBI seeks a “diverse workforce” to ensure that the bureau is “looking like the communities that we represent.”
Protests and riots linked to the Black Lives Matter movement swept the nation in the weeks and months after the May 25, 2020, killing of George Floyd, who was black, by a Minneapolis police officer who is white. In some cases, law enforcement joined the protests.
