McCaskill said, “Well, today was certainly a bittersweet day. And, candidly, I’m bitter. I mean, I’m bitter that a higher political price wasn’t paid for what Donald Trump did on January 6. Something is broken and we need to acknowledge that. And the other thing we have to keep front of mind, Nicolle, is that Donald Trump didn’t win 50 percent of the votes. This is an evenly divided country.
Associated P ress, by Seth Borenstein Original Article Posted by Ketchuplover — 1/8/2025 1:42:25 AM Frigid air that normally stays trapped in the Arctic has escaped, plunging deep into the United States for an extended visit that is expected to provoke teeth-chattering but not be record-shattering.
It’s a cold air outbreak that some experts say is happening more frequently, and paradoxically, because of a warming world.(snip) “There’s a climate change signal in that,” Francis said.
The Arctic is warming four times faster than the rest of the world, which means the difference between temperatures up north and down south are shrinking, Francis said. Arctic sea ice is shrinking,
Legal Insurrection, by Leslie Eastman Original Article Posted by Hazymac — 1/7/2025 9:31:57 AM Bubonic plague is a severe infectious and potentially fatal disease caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis. It is the most common form of plague and is primarily spread through the bite of infected fleas that typically live on rodents.
The disease, also known infamously as the Black Death, ravaged Europe from 1347 to 1351, causing between 75 million and 200 million deaths (which included about 50% of the total population in Europe at the time). Those horrifying numbers still grip the imagination.
Now, in an intriguing development, COVID-19 vaccine scientists have developed a new shot that would protect against Yersinia pestis infections.

Gateway Pundit, by Ben Kew Original Article Posted by ladydawgfan — 1/7/2025 9:33:21 PM Joe Biden will be remembered as one of the worst presidents in American history, according to the latest Gallup poll.
While Biden and the White House seek to rewrite his legacy as someone who improved the lives of Americans and people worldwide, the American public clearly feels differently.
A majority of Americans—54 percent—believe Joe Biden will be remembered as a “below average” (37 percent) or “poor” (17 percent) president.
In contrast, only 19 percent think he will be seen as “outstanding” (6 percent) or “above average” (13 percent).
Meanwhile, 26 percent say he will be regarded as “average.”
Gateway Pundit, by Jim Hoft Original Article Posted by Imright — 1/7/2025 9:21:17 AM For the last 4 years, Democrats, their media, and the Biden administration have lied thousands of times about who was responsible for the violence on January 6, 2021.
We now know that three things had to happen in order for the violence to take place.
1.) Nancy Pelosi and Mayor Muriel Bowser had to block the National Guard from protecting the US Capitol. Pelosi did this be banning the President Trump’s request for the National Guard troops at the Capitol that day. And, then on January 6, Nancy Pelosi stalled in calling in the National Guard until late in the afternoon.
2.) Capitol Police were ready, and eager

Hot Air, by David Strom Original Article Posted by mc squared — 1/7/2025 12:19:34 PM Canada is a lovely country with many lovely people. And while its federal government is dysfunctional and occasionally tyrannical when it comes to defending civil rights, it has much to offer. It has a well-educated populace with remarkably good manners, some fine educational institutions, and a largely functioning economy. I suggest that we only take half the country and leave the rest to sink or swim on its own. [snip] But then what? After all, this is a country that suffered under Justin Trudeau for nine years! Something must be wrong with it--at least with certain parts of Canada.
Comments:
I am convinced that Obama INTENDED to assist Iran in gaining power and developing nuclear weapons. Not an error, not a mistake, intentionally helping Islamic fanatics to gain power.
