Dennis Kucinich is ready for another run at the job he last held nearly 42 years ago.
On Monday afternoon in Tremont, the 74-year-old Kucinich announced that he will run for Cleveland mayor. "I am ready from day one to take the city in a new, upbeat, can-do direction," he said during his remarks.
Kucinich mostly focused on crime in his announcement, pledging to add 400 new officers to the Cleveland Division of Police along with two new helicopters. "We must send a message loud and clear to violent felons: A strengthened Cleveland police force will pursue you. You cannot escape. You will be caught. You will face justice."
It is now clear, after the appointment of new attorney general, Merrick Garland, that he must, not may, appoint a Special Counsel to investigate Hunter Biden in public corruption matters that may substantially involve his father.
This is especially clear now that it is known, contrary to his fervent denials, that Joe Biden met with Hunter’s corrupt Ukrainian and Russian clients at least once at Café Milano in Washington, D.C. There are likely more meetings, but once is enough. He also met at length in the White House with Hunter’s partner, Devon Archer, as the two were pitching their services to the corrupt Burisma Holdings,
I’ve stayed away from writing about the election audit in Arizona’s Maricopa County because I felt that, until the audit was completed, there wasn’t much point in trying to offering commentary about its progress. (snip) On Monday, though, a conservative reporter with a good reputation revealed some really stunning facts: Several hundred thousand ballots are missing and boxes that purported to hold ballots for counting contained only blanks. (snip) given that Trump won Arizona by only 10,457 votes, the fact that 5 to 10 percent of the votes are currently missing is staggering in its implications.
U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson on Sunday strongly refuted a media-generated narrative that the Jan. 6 Capitol riot was an “armed insurrection” during an appearance on Fox News.In an interview with “Life, Liberty, and Levin” host Mark Levin, Johnson discussed his efforts to extract information from Justice Department and Capitol Police sources about the demonstration, adding that his staff has recently reviewed some 14 hours of video taken that day and have made some startling discoveries.But the notion that there were throngs of armed participants intent on overthrowing the government — the purpose of insurrection — is completely false, Johnson, a Wisconsin Republican, asserted, and the video evidence
Former Biden Coronavirus Adviser: Pandemic
Was Worse Because Americans Didn't Sacrifice

Was Worse Because Americans Didn't Sacrifice
Enough replies
Andy Slavitt was Joe Biden’s senior adviser to the COVID response team. He just stepped down from the position last week and now has a new book he’s hawking on all the networks, “Preventable: The Inside Story of How Leadership Failures, Politics, and Selfishness Doomed the U.S. Coronavirus Response.”
What a coincidence, I’m sure that his leaving isn’t at all timed to coincide with the book coming out. Did it factor into his joining the administration? This is just wrong to try to profit off the pandemic with a book. Yes, he’s no longer with the Biden team but that doesn’t make it any less scummy.
American media is so infected with leftism that it’s ideologically slanted to the point of tipping over and it’s highly possible that the media doesn’t even know it. It doesn’t have the ability to look at itself critically, and we get very real moments where the media asks Democrats what it can do to better help them along while on air.
The media in other countries can see it, though, and Australia’s, in particular, can’t help but dedicate a segment to it.
On a segment during Sky News’s Kenny on Media, Australian anchors and commentators took aim at the American media
Watch these three, short videos. No words are necessary.
First, The Hologram “in action”: [Video]
Second, as if the first wasn’t enough, here’s another short clip of the Hologram: [Video]
Third, the vigorous President Trump: [Video]
Well, on second thought, a few words ARE necessary! Here are a few points that come immediately to mind:
1. One of these two is a complete embarrassment.
2. One of these two is operating in a diminished capacity, both physically and mentally.
3. One of these two is a de facto Hologram and incapable of independent thought.
A FOX 26 reporter just blew the whistle on Fox Corporation and accused them of "muzzling" her from revealing information, keeping it from the viewers. Her name is Ivory Hecker and she claims she's not the only one this is happening to. Hecker says she will release secret recordings to an independent group who she names in the video above.
Hecker was about to do a live segment about air conditioning in Montgomery County in Texas, as they go through a heatwave - but she took a few seconds to make her announcement to the viewers first.
President Biden has not done enough to make America’s allies recognize the threat from China, Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) told Fox News Monday night.
“Russia is a threat, [but] China is the threat to the United States and to the free world, and our European allies need to recognize that threat China poses,” Cotton told “The Ingraham Angle” hours after Biden took part in the NATO Summit
UPDATED at 7:15 p.m.: Just hours after Lip Sync Battle co-host Chrissy Teigen broke her monthlong silence after bullying allegations from former reality star Courtney Stodden, another higher profile reality TV personality has accused her of a concerted campaign to ruin his career.
Michael Costello, who came in 4th place on season 8 of Project Runway and was the second runner up on Project Runway All Stars in 2012, posted a lengthy testimonial to Instagram on Monday in which he accused Teigen of a years-long effort to destroy his career.
The designer said it began when he was the victim of an online hoax
Remember when we were assured that Joe Biden was going to bring about a return of normalcy and decorum? Yeah, good times.
That’s all gone out the window since Biden officially took office and things aren’t getting any better. When the president’s mind is not melting, he’s pushing a far-left agenda that is enough to make Bernie Sanders blush. Even still, you’d expect the partisan rantings to be few and far between while overseas at the G7, where he’s already beclowned himself multiple times throughout the last week.
Yet, because Biden is, in fact, not a return to normalcy, he launched into an embarrassing tirade against the Republican Party
A cashier was gunned down inside a Georgia supermarket Monday simply for asking a man to put on a mask — and a retired deputy who intervened was also shot, authorities said.The afternoon horror happened at a Big Bear Supermarket in DeKalb, when the worker asked Victor Tucker Jr., 30, to mask up due to the COVID-19 pandemic, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation,(Photos) Tucker refused and got into an argument with the woman before leaving the store without making a purchase, the report and GBI said.
The suspect then barged back inside and allegedly shot her in the head, authorities said.
The State of Arizona’s Attorney General Mark Brnovich has issued a blistering response to Biden’s Attorney General Merrick Garland regarding not-so-subtloe threats the Department of Justice has made over the state’s election audit of Maricopa County.
On Monday, Arizona’s AG issued the following response to Garland over its threats: [Tweet]
Late last week, you made troubling comments about the ongoing efforts in states to ensure election integrity,” the letter read. “Your statements displayed an alarming disdain for state sovereignty as defined under the 10th Amendment of the United States Constitution and the election provisions in Articles I and II.”
House and Senate Republicans introduced bills on Monday that would bar federal funds from being used to teach The New York Times’ “1619 Project.”
The measures are unlikely to pass the Democratic-run Congress, but the bills reflect mounting opposition to effort inform school curriculums with the newspaper series, which reframed U.S. history with a focus on slavery and racism as the defining characteristic of the American experience. “Activists in schools want to teach our kids to hate America and hate each other using discredited, Critical Race Theory curricula like the 1619 Project. Federal funds should not pay for activists to masquerade as teachers and indoctrinate our youth,”
House Republican presses bill to prevent

Iowa Republican Rep. Ashley Hinson appeared on the House floor Monday to press for legislation that would bar Vice President Harris from taxpayer-funded international travel until she visits the southern border first. Harris, whom President Biden deputized to lead efforts in Central America to eradicate the "root causes" of the massive waves of illegal immigrants heading from there to the U.S. border, has faced strong Republican criticism for not bothering to experience firsthand the crisis she's playing a role in ending. "This crisis is worsening by the day. Yet, the vice president has refused to go to the border herself and talk to the brave law enforcement officers,
The first speaker former actress Eva Longoria introduced at the Democratic National Convention in August 2020 was Muriel Bowser, the Democrat mayor of Washington, D.C. Longoria referenced the clearing of a street in front of the White House earlier that summer, an operation the media had repeatedly falsely characterized as the violent removal of peaceful protesters with tear gas for the sole purpose of a photo opportunity for President Donald Trump.
“When peaceful protesters were teargassed across from the White House, our next speaker stood up, stood strong and turned that place into the Black Lives Matter Plaza in their honor. Please welcome Mayor Muriel Bowser,” Longoria said. Amazingly,
Fox 26 Houston TV reporter Ivory Hecker announced LIVE ON AIR tonight that she has been secretly recording the FOX 26 Channel and that Project Veritas will release the video tomorrow.Ivory Hecker started off her news story on Monday with that little tidbit for company brass.“I want to let you the viewers know that Fox Corp has been muzzling me to keep certain information from you, the viewer. And from what I’m gathering I’m not the only reporter being subjected to this. I am going to be releasing some recordings about what goes on behind the scenes
Students in every K-12 public school in Florida will soon be able to observe a moment of silence at the start of each school day, if they so choose.
Gov. Ron DeSantis on Monday signed HB 529 into law, which requires teachers in first-period classrooms in all K-12 public schools to set aside at least one minute, but no more than two minutes every day "for a moment of silence."
During that time, "students may not interfere with other students' participation."
In addition, "a teacher may not make suggestions as to the nature of any reflection that a student may engage in during the moment of silence."
The Democratic Party, having apparently solved all of America’s problems, are going back to the well at least one more time: It is announcing yet another partisan Trump “witch hunt.”On Monday, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) announced that the House Democrats are going to open a formal investigation into the Department of Justice’s surveillance of Congress, journalists, and others:“Recent reports suggest that, during the Trump Administration, the Department of Justice used criminal investigations as a pretext to spy on President Trump’s perceived political enemies,” Nadler’s letter read.“It remains possible that these cases—which now include Members of Congress, members of the press,
The Girl Scouts have an unusual problem this year: 15 million boxes of unsold cookies.
The 109-year-old organization says the coronavirus — not thinner demand for Thin Mints — is the main culprit. As the pandemic wore into the spring selling season, many troops nixed their traditional cookie booths for safety reasons.
"This is unfortunate, but given this is a girl-driven program and the majority of cookies are sold in-person, it was to be expected," said Kelly Parisi, a spokeswoman for Girl Scouts of the USA.
Former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu blasted US President Joe Biden in a 'scorched earth' speech on his last day in office before officially handing over power on Monday, warning Iran will be 'celebrating' his defeat because Israel will be 'weak'. In a scathing speech that was meant to last 15 minutes but ran for more than half an hour, Netanyahu said the Islamic Republic would celebrate his loss because 'they understand that starting today there will be a weak and unstable government that will align with the dictates of the international community.' He then turned on his replacement, and former ally, Naftali Bennett, in the rambling speech, branding the
Pet food companies are swapping meat proteins for that of insects in a bid to reduce your cat or dog’s environmental impact or carbon pawprint.
Big name brands like Nestle Purina and Mars have recently joined the move by using dried black soldier fly larvae, while other companies, such as Jiminy’s, use cricket protein.
The shift aims to reduce the 64 million tons of carbon dioxide that is emitted each year from producing and the consumption of meat-based products.
Some companies say their insect farms only generate four percent of the current emissions released each year by farms that maintain cows, pigs and chickens.
Facebook vice-president Nick Clegg has admitted the company's fact-checkers – employed to root out alleged 'fake news' from its social-media platforms – could be biased and pursuing their own political agendas, according to a European Commission document obtained by The Mail on Sunday.The former Deputy Prime Minister made the admission to EU officials in November during talks about how the tech giant was tackling misinformation flooding its site.Facebook announced fact-checking measures in 2016 amid claims that its failure to remove misleading content helped to swing that year's US Presidential election in favour of Donald Trump.

President Biden on Monday claimed the Republican party is “vastly diminished in numbers” after the January 6 Capitol riot and expressed disappointment in GOP senators who “know better” than to vote against an investigation into the riot but are “worried about being primaried.” Biden’s remarks came in response to a question about whether NATO allies are shaken by the Capitol riot and the actions of former President Trump.
During a press conference after the NATO summit in Brussels, Belgium, Biden said that while other leaders may have seen things
