Trump clinches GOP nomination
replies
Former President Trump is projected to win the GOP primary in Washington, thereby clinching the Republican presidential nomination and setting him up for a rematch against President Biden, according to Decision Desk HQ.
Trump is expected to notch at least 1,215 delegates — the minimum number needed to secure the Republican nod. Ahead of the Tuesday primaries, Trump had been awarded 1,077 delegates, according to DDHQ, meaning that he needed at least 138 delegates. Between the Georgia, Hawaii, Mississippi and Washington state GOP nominating contests, there were 161 delegates up for grabs.
Harry and Meghan are facing a hypocrisy row after it was revealed that a tree was edited into the photo used to announce Meghan Markle being pregnant with Lilibet, after the Duchess of Sussex's camp took aim at the Princess of Wales for her Photoshop blunder. Royal experts have slammed Prince Harry and Meghan as 'hypocrites' after a resurfaced podcast heard that the intimate 2021 black and white photo of the couple had been doctored. London-based photographer Misan Harriman has previously discussed how he altered an image of them in a meadow to be under a willow tree.
Former special counsel Robert Hur revealed in Capitol Hill testimony that Biden 'willfully' retained classified materials as a private citizen and gave them to Mark Zwonitzer - the ghost writer of his $8 million book - who later tried to destroy them.
Hur arrived on Capitol Hill to offer insight into his devastating classified documents report that painted Biden as 'elderly' and 'forgetful' and with 'diminished faculties,' but did not recommend charges for the president.
He pushed back on Democrats who claimed his report cleared Biden of any wrongdoing, saying it 'did not exonerate' the president.
An exiled ally of late Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny has been attacked outside his Lithuanian home with a hammer and tear gas, it has emerged.
Leonid Volkov, Navalny's close ally and top strategist, was attacked near his residence in Vilnius, Lithuania's capital city, on Tuesday night.
The assailant smashed a window of Volkov's car, sprayed tear gas into his eyes and started hitting him with a hammer, Navalny's spokeswoman Kira Yarmysh said.
If Joe Biden’s policies were wildly popular, everybody would overlook the fact that the man walks into walls.
But his policies are terrible.
On Tuesday, it was reported that the index of consumer prices rose 3.2% in February from one year earlier. We try to keep the rate at 2%. But we are still clocking in at well above 3% — which is 50% higher than what we want. Core price inflation is sitting at 3.8%; again, we aim for 2%.
Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director Christopher Wray refused to tell House Republican Conference Chair Elise Stefanik (R-NY) at a hearing Tuesday whether the FBI is engaged in counterintelligence investigations into President Joe Biden or former President Donald Trump.
During the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence’s Annual Threat Assessment hearing, Stefanik pressed Wray on the matter. She first emphasized that former FBI Director James Comey “testified that he did not follow the proper protocol regarding the notification of Congress of the opening of the Crossfire Hurricane” – the counterintelligence investigation into Trump in 2016.
Never Trump Republicans are still unable to accept the fact that former President Donald Trump will be the Republican Party’s nominee for president in the general election and are spending roughly $50 million to run ads featuring Republicans who say they can no longer support the presumptive nominee.
While Trump undoubtedly stood as the frontrunner throughout the entirety of the Republican Primary race, winning state after state, his status as the presumptive nominee was solidified after Super Tuesday when former Gov. Nikki Haley (R-SC) opted to drop out of the race, presumably seeing no viable path forward. Unlike some of her fellow challengers,
Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is interested in having NFL star Aaron Rodgers or ex-wrestler Jesse 'The Body' Ventura as his vice presidential pick.
The New York Times reported Tuesday that Kennedy approached both Rodgers and Ventura, a former governor of Minnesota, about appearing on his ticket, sources told the paper.
Rodgers is still playing in the NFL - and is supposed to be a starting quarterback for the New York Jets come fall.
European countries have foiled an increase number of terror threats over the last year, according to a report by the Wall Street Journal on Tuesday. Many of these incidents were left unreported until now.
In one incident, which occured last December, Austrian and Bosnian authorities arrested two separate groups of Syrian and Afghan refugees who were found to be holding arms and ammunition. The arrested parties had photos of Israeli and Jewish targets in Europe, leading authorities to believe that their motives may have been connected to Israel's war against Hamas. In another arrest from late last year, a group of Tajik nationals had been detained
In the latest HarrisX/Forbes poll, which was taken three days following last week’s State of the Union address, Joe Biden saw his approval rating drop and former President Donald Trump’s 2024 lead tick up. In the week just prior to Thursday’s State of the Union address, HarrisX/Forbes released a poll that showed the following…
Biden’s approval rating: 39 percent.
Disapproval: 56 percent.
That is -17 points underwater.
A HarrisX/Forbes poll of 2,017 registered surveyed after Thursday’s State of the Union speech between March 8 and 10, shows the following… Biden’s job approval rating: 37 percent.

Democrats had basically two objectives on Tuesday: create the impression that the Hur report exonerated Joe Biden, and repair the damage done by his assessment of Joe Biden’s poor memory.
Well, they failed at both objectives. Special Counsel Hur explicitly said that his report was not an exoneration of Joe Biden. As for the issue of Joe Biden’s memory... they didn’t do any better. In fact, anyone who reads the transcript will see just how bad Biden’s memory was while he was answering questions. Is the average American going to read the transcript of Joe Biden’s interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur? Not a chance. So, what are
It would be a tough call as to which Democrat had the slimiest questioning of Special Counsel Robert Hur before Congress on Tuesday as he testified on his report about Joe Biden's handling of classified documents. There was Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) attacking Hur, saying that he should have left out the parts about Joe Biden's failed memory. But as Hur noted, that was critical to his analysis, and so he wasn't going to "sanitize" it to play politics.
There was Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) accidentally opening up the door and blowing up the Democratic narrative that
Washington— President Joe Biden, who took office aiming to steady a nation convulsed by the coronavirus pandemic and the Jan. 6 insurrection, clinched a second straight Democratic nomination Tuesday and set up an all-but-certain rematch with the predecessor he blames for destabilizing the country.
Biden became his party’s presumptive nominee when he won enough delegates in Georgia. That pushed Biden’s count past 1,968 for a majority of delegates to the Democratic National Convention in Chicago this August, where his nomination will be made official.
House Republicans are demanding the Department of Education forfeit information and records related to its use of taxpayer dollars to conduct partisan get-out-the-vote efforts that benefit Democrats, The Federalist has learned.
In their Tuesday letter to Education Secretary Miguel Cardona, senior Republicans on the House Administration Committee and the Education and Workforce Committee pressed the Biden appointee over the agency’s use of Federal Work-Study (FWS) funds — which are used to provide part-time campus jobs to help students with tuition costs — to “support the Biden Administration’s campaign efforts during the 2024 election cycle.
For the Joe Biden administration from hell, ‘America last’ is a mantra that pervades every aspect of government.
When it comes to National Defense, it isn’t any different.
That’s why it isn’t surprising that the Pentagon will rush about $300 million in weapons to Ukraine after finding some ‘surprise’ cost savings in its contracts – despite the fact that the US military itself is deeply overdrawn and needs at least $10 billion to replenish all the inventory it has pulled from its stocks to help Kiev.
The House voted to adopt a resolution Tuesday claiming that President Joe Biden has created the 'worst border security crisis' the country has ever experienced.
The resolution passed the House on a vote 226 - 193. Notably, 14 Democrats voted in favor of the resolution.
Democrat Reps. Jared Moskowitz, Henry Cuellar, Jared Golden and Mary Peltolta were among those who voted in favor of the resolution. The measure specifically denounced the Biden administration's border policies and claimed he has incentivized over 9.3 million illegal migrants to arrive at the U.S. southern border since he took office.
One of the big takeaways from the newly-released transcript of Joe Biden’s two-day interview with Robert Hur is that the special counsel was being exceedingly generous when describing the president as a “sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.”
Much of the conversation with Hur is littered with barely incoherent answers and spiraling word salads. Though, the reader is occasionally entertained by Biden’s blowhard-y non-sequiturs. We learn about Biden’s Corvette — twice. We learn that the president is a frustrated architect but an excellent archer. Biden jokes that there might be risqué pictures of Dr. First Lady Jill Biden.
Former Special Counsel Robert Hur testified at the House Judiciary Committee on Tuesday that the White House tried to interfere with his report to the Attorney General on President Joe Biden’s abuse of classified documents.
Specifically, he confirmed that the White House wrote to Attorney General Merrick Garland and Associate Deputy Attorney General Bradey Weinsheimer, who were supervising Hur’s work, asking for changes to Hur’s comment on Biden’s poor memory. The testimony confirmed earlier reports of attempted interference by the Biden White House in the investigation.

It’s a good thing President Joe Biden wasn’t strapped to a polygraph while giving his State of the Union speech on Thursday, because his results would have come back about as clean as O.J. Simpson’s. That was especially true when he recited a lot of tall tales — and some whoppers — while touting his administration’s alleged successes.
Here is a list my top five half-truths and in some cases outright fabrications:

With the Ukraine war wearing out its welcome, the only diversion left was the uncivil war in Haiti. Suddenly riots in its capital became the most important story in the world!
We are sending troops to Port-au-Prince, something we failed to do to Minneapolis, Seattle and Portland four years ago. Apparently it is OK to give rioters in Baltimore space, but not in Haiti.
I swear by all that I know to be righteous and accurate, the combined willpower of the UniParty in Washington DC is not targeting TikTok from the perspective of concern over data collection. Instead, the DC system -which is to say the USIC- is using the auspices of TikTok to expand the reach of government censorship and control information.
This is a domestic information space battle, using the guise of TikTok as a baseline for justification. (snip) You only need to look at the mechanism of the law as it is written, the compliance section, and the definitions they are using to see they are not targeting data collection.
The U.S. led the world in oil production for the sixth consecutive year in 2023, according to a new report from the Energy Information Administration (EIA). Crude oil production in the U.S., including condensate, averaged 12.9 million barrels per day (b/d) in 2023 — a level which surpassed the American and global record of 12.3 million b/d that the U.S. set in 2019. Average monthly U.S. crude oil production also reached a record high in December 2023 at more than 13.3 million b/d.

Martin Kulldorff used to be a Professor at Harvard Medical School until COVID-19 destroyed his career.
Kulldorff wasn't fired because he spread wacky theories, or even opposed the use of the vaccine. He was fired because he told the truth at a time when telling the truth was absolutely forbidden. Kulldorff was one of too few who were willing to pay a high price to do the right thing. Far too few; in fact, people who knew he was right participated in the destruction of Kulldorff because failing to do so might cost them their jobs.

U.S. Rep. Ken Buck will leave Congress on March 22, the Windsor Republican announced Tuesday in a decision that’s sure to scramble the already highly contentious and competitive race to replace him that includes U.S. Rep.

Special counsel Robert Hur pushed back forcefully during his Tuesday testimony when Democrats repeatedly pushed him to take partisan positions on the differences between President Joe Biden and former president Donald Trump’s classified-documents cases.
Hur fielded questions from members of the House Judiciary Committee about his investigation into Joe Biden’s handling of classified documents following his vice presidency. House Democrats repeatedly questioned Hur’s partisan allegiances because of his decision to comment on Biden’s advanced age in his final report
Washington — Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito on Tuesday extended an order blocking Texas troopers and police from arresting and jailing migrants suspected of crossing the U.S. southern border without authorization under a strict state immigration law known as SB4.
Alito continued an administrative stay of a lower court order that had paved the way for Texas officials to enforce SB4, one of the toughest state immigration laws in U.S. history. The pause was previously going to expire on Wednesday evening. Alito on Tuesday extended it through Monday, March 18. Passed into law by the Texas legislature last year, SB4 authorizes Texas law enforcement at the state and local levels
The National Health Services announced Tuesday that U.K. gender clinics will no longer prescribe puberty blockers to children.
Puberty blockers will now only be available to minors who are participating in clinical research trials. The ruling follows a public consultation of the issue and a 2020 NHS England-sanctioned independent review of gender transition surgeries and hormone therapy for minors.
“Ending the routine prescription of puberty blockers will help ensure that care is based on evidence, expert clinical opinion and is in the best interests of the child,” Health Minister Maria Caulfield said in a statement to The Independent.
So much for that strange demand that Israel observe Ramadan during its war against Hamas and other Islamist terror networks.

Rep. Ken Buck, R-Colo., who frequently defied his own party and announced last fall he would not seek re-election, said Tuesday he will resign from Congress at the end of next week, further shrinking the GOP's already razor-thin majority. "Today I am announcing that I will depart Congress at the end of next week," Buck said in a statement. "I look forward to staying involved in our political process, as well as spending more time in Colorado and with my family."
His departure will cut the House Republican margin to 218-213; Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., will continue to have two votes to spare before needing Democrats to govern.
The federal judge overseeing the Trump classified documents case handed defense lawyers a win on Monday, allowing a 10-day extension to file motions. In a paperless order on Monday, U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon granted former President Donald Trump a 10-day extension, meaning that he shall file a reply to their pretrial motions by March 24.His lawyers had made the request this week, arguing that they are preparing for a separate criminal trial in New York over state charges that he allegedly falsified business records at the end of the 2016 election.
Special counsel Robert Hur corrected Democratic Washington Rep. Pramila Jayapal at a Tuesday hearing when she said his report exonerated President Joe Biden for his handling of classified documents.
Hur issued his report in February on Biden’s handling of classified documents, deciding not to pursue charges against the president because he would be unlikely to get a conviction. Jayapal asserted Hur’s report exonerated Biden, but the special counsel disputed her statement. “This lengthy, expensive, and independent investigation resulted in a complete exoneration of President Joe Biden,” Jayapal said. “For every document you discussed in your report, you found insufficient evidence that the president violated any laws about possession or retention
New evidence suggests that the FBI purposefully tolerated and encouraged political violence ahead of the 2020 presidential election so as to target perceived domestic extremists for arrest.
The evidence includes “[t]housands of pages of internal FBI reports and hundreds of hours of undercover recordings” that were obtained by The Intercept, a “progressive” news source.
“The secret files offer an extraordinary view inside a high-profile domestic terrorism investigation, revealing in stark relief how federal agents have turned the war on terror inward, using informant-led stings to chase after potential domestic extremists,” The Intercept reported last Wednesday.
Special Counsel Robert Hur is testifying before Congress today.
Hur was subpoenaed in February to testify before Congress regarding his findings in the Joe Biden classified documents case.
Special Counsel Robert Hur last month released a 345-page report on his investigation of the stolen classified documents.
Biden’s stolen classified documents were scattered all over the place in damaged cardboard boxes and unlocked drawers at the Penn Biden Center. The documents were also easily accessible in Biden’s Delaware garage and basement den.
The transcript of Joe Biden’s interview with Special Counsel Bob Hur showed the president frequently wandered off topic, even making “car noises.” (snip) According to the transcript, Biden then proceeded to talk about his car, and make car noises. (snip)
Biden then started talking about cars in general, before Hur interrupted with, “Sir, I’d love — I would love to hear much more about this, but I do have a few more questions to get through.”
Biden ignored him, and continued talking about cars, to which Hur finally said, “All right. So let’s — let’s launch into the next subject which relates to the Penn Biden Center.”
Last month, the Hur report found that Joe Biden willfully retained, mishandled, and disclosed classified information but determined that he was essentially too senile to stand trial. Biden delivered an impromptu address to the nation that managed to make things worse for him. According to the report, Biden struggled to remember details, and he couldn't remember when his son Beau died. Joe Biden angrily defended his memory in his unplanned address and attacked Special Counsel Robert Hur for bringing up Beau during his interview during the investigation.
"There's even a reference that I don't remember when my son died," Biden said. “How in the hell dare he raise that? Frankly, when

There’s a general consensus on the Right. Biden’s State of the Union address was a nasty campaign speech. Among establishment shills, though, comes predictable silliness. Bill Scher at the Washington Monthly claimed that Joe’s rant was the “fiercest” such speech in history. Biden is at peak warrior, suggested Scher. Joe proved that “age is nothing but a number.”
Never mind all the contrary public evidence. Joe is a shuffling ditz who on Thursday night benefited from a cocktail of meds that would put umph! into a sloth. In fact, Joe came across like a hophead much of the night.

Alright, alright, alright. All the right people are pearl clutching as the new MAGA RNC leadership starts eliminating positions, reprioritizing the Republican National Committee on the functions that matter, and canceling professionally republican vendor contracts.

Special counsel Robert Hur will defend on Tuesday the observations he made about President Joe Biden’s memory in his final report on the investigation into Biden’s handling of classified materials.
Ahead of his testimony before the House Judiciary Committee, Hur will deliver an opening statement, obtained by National Review, addressing criticisms of his decision to comment on Biden’s apparent memory lapses in his report, explaining that the commentary was necessary to explain why he didn’t believe Biden should be charged with willfully retaining classified documents, even though he had determined that the president did in fact knowingly retain such material.

Cuomo also quit his SiriusXM radio show after being fired from CNN.

With only 19.5 million viewers, Sunday night’s Academy Awards bombed with the fourth-lowest viewership in Oscar history.
Naturally, the sycophants in the corporate media who need Hollywood’s ad dollars and refuse to admit America will never embrace their fascist Woke Revolution are spinning this failure with these howler headlines: “Oscars 2024 Hit 4-Year Viewership High With 19.5 Million” and “TV Ratings: Oscars Score Post-Pandemic Highs” and “‘Barbenheimer,’ and an Early Start, Boost Oscar Ratings to 4-Year High.”

Remember when progressives in Florida sought to use lawfare to take down Florida’s Parental Rights in Education Act? It appears that their efforts were all for naught.

The lawsuit has concluded with both parties agreeing to clarifications designed to mitigate concerns over discrimination and censorship.

Biden’s DOA Budget
replies
Joe Biden unveiled his 2025 budget proposal earlier today. In general, presidents’ budgets are hardly worth discussing. They project revenue and spending over the next ten years, and if you go back and look at them a few years later, they usually bear no relation to reality. And, in this instance, there is zero chance that Congress will pass anything resembling Biden’s budget, which can best be seen as a campaign document.
But, for what it is worth, this is what the Wall Street Journal had to say about it:
President Biden proposed Monday a $7.3 trillion budget for the next fiscal year that would raise taxes on wealthy people and
For about a year, I learned foreign languages with Duolingo. I spent extensive time working on Spanish and Japanese, and I dabbled in Welsh, Hebrew, and Italian. Duolingo is an effective and often fun way of learning a new language, despite some annoyances. For starters, Duolingo likes to send way too many notifications. Almost every day without fail, I would get a notification before 7:30 in the morning calling me out for not already spending hours on the app.
But there was another thing I noticed early on about Duolingo: there was an awful lot of gayness in the lessons and exercises. I wrote about it last May:
