Fox News Channel “Life, Liberty & Levin” host Mark Levin on Sunday hit President Joe Biden over executive action he has taken his first week in office.Levin highlighted how Biden ran on uniting the country. He then noted that Biden’s actions have instead been about “conformity” rather than uniting the country.“Joe Biden made much of the word unity,” Levin stated. “Nothing that Joe Biden has done since his inauguration speech demonstrates any form of unity. It’s conformity. Conformity. He’s there proudly signing one executive order after another. These executive orders do what? Taxpayer-paid-for abortion on demand, even one minute before birth.

Confident that no smoking guns have been produced to support the claim by many on the right that the Democratic Party manipulated the voting process in November, ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos was eager to use Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., to establish as fact that the election was not stolen.With Donald Trump out of office for five full days, much of the media remains fixated on the former president, and Stephanopoulos was quick to dispel Trump’s claim that the election was stolen from him.“This election was not stolen, do you accept that fact?” he asked Paul.“What I would say is that the debate over whether or not there was fraud \
The 2020 election will go down as arguably the greatest fraud in world history. The tremendously popular incumbent candidate, President Trump, was easily winning the race on election night in a landslide and then suddenly multiple states took a break, quit counting, and by the end of the week the election was flipped to Joe Biden.
Then, as the President and his team attempted to address the fraud and alleged abnormalities, the courts refused in any case evidence to be brought before a court of law.
We’ve heard over and over from Big Media that President Trump and his team lost numerous court cases linked to the 2020 election.
A Native American tribe this week criticized the Biden administration’s order halting agency approvals for oil, gas, and coal permitting on federal lands including tribal lands.
(Snip)
The Ute Indian Tribe of the Uintah and Ouray Reservation, which has run an oil-and-gas operation on its 4.5 million-acre reservation for more than 70 years, requested Thursday an exemption for tribal lands from the Interior Department order that halts agencies from issuing permits and leases on mineral production for 60 days.
In a letter Thursday, chairman of the Ute Indian Tribe Business Committee Luke Duncan wrote, “The Ute Indian Tribe and other energy producing tribes rely on energy development to fund our governments and
President Biden's decision to rejoin the Paris climate accord immediately delivered on a campaign promise, fulfilled a top priority of the Left, and delighted our European allies. But most of all, it was a gift to China.Federal action to reduce the world growth of carbon emissions, particularly action as ineffective as that embodied in the Paris accord, should not be taken at the expense of U.S. citizens in relation to foreigners. Yet that is exactly what an immediate return to the Paris accord means. It commits the United States to reductions that will entangle American businesses and jobs in new lengths of red tape, and will also
Marco Rubio signaled Sunday that he isn't too worried about any primary run from Ivanka Trump in his 2022 reelection race, claiming she would 'have a tough race' amid speculation she could pursue public office like her father.'I don't really get into the parlor games of Washington,' the Florida senator told 'Fox News Sunday' host Chris Wallace.'If you're going to run for the Florida Senate, you're going to have a tough race, including a primary,' Rubio continued. 'That's their right under the system.'Former Trump administration officials told Politico earlier this month that Ivanka is working on a possible Senate run.
Tom Brady is back in the Super Bowl.Back where he belongs.The 43-year-old quarterback survived an epic showdown with Aaron Rodgers, the 37-year-old gunslinger trying and ultimately failing to keep Brady from reaching yet another Super Bowl as the Buccaneers held on for a 31-26 win Sunday.Brady threw three touchdown passes to give the Buccaneers a 28-10 lead early in the third quarter then, shockingly, ended three consecutive offensive series in the second half with interceptions to help Rodgers and the Packers crawl back in the game.

Former Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, a Democrat, has an ultimatum for President Joe Biden. Speaking on Fox News’ “Fox News Primetime” this Friday, she told host Brian Kilmeade that if Biden truly desires “unity,” he must denounce the left’s growing radicalism. More specifically, Biden must denounce House Intelligence Committee chair Adam Schiff and disgraced former CIA Director John Brennan’s call for new domestic terror laws to be instituted and then applied against ostensible “domestic terrorists.” Listen to her remarks below:
The path in the Senate to convict Donald Trump is extremely slim, with a growing number of Republicans expressing confidence that the party will acquit the former President on a charge that he incited the deadly insurrection aimed at stopping President Joe Biden's electoral win.After Democratic leaders announced they would kick off the process to begin the impeachment trial on Monday, Republicans grew sharply critical about the proceedings -- and made clear that they saw virtually no chance that at least 17 Republicans would join with 50 Democrats to convict Trump and also bar him from ever running from office again.
Americans definitely aren’t united on this question.Just one in five Americans have “a great deal of confidence” in President Biden’s ability to make good on his goal to unify the country, according to a new poll released Sunday.While 22 percent said Biden will unify the country, 24 percent remained highly skeptical, saying that they have no confidence “at all” that he will be able to do so, the ABC News/Ipsos poll found.Thirty-five percent said they have a “good amount” of confidence Biden could unite the country and 19 percent said they had “not so much” confidence.
President Biden will reinstate a re-entry ban on nearly all non-US travelers trying to come into the country from the United Kingdom, Ireland, 26 other European countries and Brazil—and impose a new ban on travel from South Africa, a report said Sunday. Former President Trump had signed an order Jan. 18 that was to lift the coronavirus-related ban Tuesday—but Biden will take action Monday to keep the prohibition stays in place, federal public-health sources told Reuters. Biden also will put into place a ban on most non-US residents entering the country after having recently been in South Africa
Ivanka for Senate? Republican Sen. Marco Rubio was coy Sunday when asked about a possible 2022 primary challenge for his Florida seat from former President Trump’s daughter and senior adviser. “I don’t really get into the parlor games of Washington,” he said on “Fox News Sunday.” “If you’re going to run for the Florida Senate, you’re going to have a tough race, including a primary. That’s their right under the system.” Rubio continued. The interview came amid widespread speculation about the Trump family’s post-White House plans. Ivanka Trump is working on a possible Senate run behind the scenes since she moved to Florida,
On Friday night, writing for The Washington Post, conservative attorney George Conway laid out the way forward to investigate former President Donald Trump for his criminal conduct in office now that he is a private citizen — and prosecute him where appropriate.
"Trump departed the White House a possible — many would say probable, provable — criminal, one who has left a sordid trail of potential and actual misconduct that remains to be fully investigated," wrote Conway. "A desperate fear of criminal indictment may even explain Trump's willingness to break any number of laws to stay in office despite losing his reelection bid, democracy and the Constitution be damned."
A 26-year-old man had just gotten off a bus from Atlanta when he was attacked by a group of about a dozen suspects who beat him, cut him several times and stole his clothes, including his underwear, cops said Sunday. The group of males and females began assaulting the victim around 11:30 a.m. Friday near Canal and Allen streets in Manhattan, cutting him with an unknown object, police said. Police released video of the suspects and are seeking witnesses. The attackers took the man’s cell phone and removed his pants, underwear and shoes.(Snip) The man, who is from Brooklyn, suffered
President Joe Biden attended Mass for the first time since taking office, worshipping Sunday at the church he frequented when he was vice president.Biden, the nation's second Catholic president, picked Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Washington's Georgetown neighborhood, a few miles from the White House. It's where the nation's only other Catholic president, John F Kennedy, often went to Mass.Biden entered through the front, where a Black Lives Matter banner was hanging on one side and a banner with a quote from Pope Francis was on the other:
Megyn Kelly argued CNN and other media outlets partially share responsibility for the Jan. 6 deadly riot at the US Capitol — claiming the public “lost trust” in what she characterized as a lack of objective reporting of former President Trump.Kelly, who left Fox News in 2017 following a feud with Trump, argued networks are to blame for “a complete lack of trust,” in the controversial interview with “BBC Newsnight” Saturday, according to video of the exchange posted by the Daily Mail.“Part of the reason we saw what happened at the Capitol here two weeks ago is because there had been a complete lack of trust in the media,
CIUDAD VICTORIA, Mexico -- Mexican authorities say they have found 19 shot and burned bodies near a town across the Rio Grande from Texas in an area that has seen violent territorial disputes between organized crime groups in recent years. The Tamaulipas state prosecutor’s office said late Saturday that the bodies were discovered along a dirt road outside Camargo after residents reported a burning vehicle. Authorities found two vehicles on fire, one containing four bodies and the other 15. Some rifles were also found. All had been shot, but shells were not found at the site, leading investigators to believe
Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) declared Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that the Democrats will use the reconciliation process to pass bills with a simple 51 majority in the Senate to forward major legislation.Sanders said, “What we have got to do is recognize right now we are living in an unprecedented moment in American history with the pandemic, economic collapse, climate change, crumbling infrastructure. We have millions of people working for starvation wages. What we have to do is roll up our sleeves and fight for the agenda that working people throughout this country want. They want to raise that minimum wage to $15 an hour.
WASHINGTON—A growing number of Republican senators say they oppose holding an impeachment trial, a sign of the dimming chances that former President Donald Trump will be convicted on the charge that he incited a siege of the U.S. Capitol.House Democrats, who will walk the impeachment charge of “incitement of insurrection” to the Senate on Monday evening, are hoping that strong Republican denunciations of Trump after the Jan. 6 riot will translate into a conviction and a separate vote to bar Trump from holding office again. But GOP passions appear to have cooled since the insurrection, and now that Trump’s presidency is over, Republican senators who will serve as jurors

The Times article claimed Biden was committing to Pope Francis’s focus on “environmental protection, poverty, and migration” by rejoining the Paris climate accords and stopping the construction of a border wall.
Joe Biden is expected to overturn Donald Trump’s policy on banning US funding from going to foreign abortionists this week.In remarks from Anthony Fauci released by the White House this week, the controversial figure told the World Health Organization’s executive board that Biden will soon revoke the Mexico City Policy “as part of his broader commitment to protect women’s health and advance gender equality at home and around the world.”The policy was first enacted by the Reagan administration and has been overturned by Democratic presidents,
Arizona Republican Party Chairwoman Kelli Ward, an ally of former President Donald Trump, was reelected to the role on Jan. 22, fending off several challengers for the role, after Trump endorsed her for another two-year term.
She won 51.5 percent of the vote, to 48.5 percent for challenger Sergio Arellano in the second round of voting.
In a short call last week, Trump called on Arizonans to reelect Ward, saying that he gives her his “complete and total endorsement,” due to her stances on a number of issues.“She is a terrific person. She is a person I know. You’ll never find anybody as dedicated to every aspect we’re all dedicated to"
People who have received two doses of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus vaccine may still spread the virus to others, a senior British medical officer has warned.
Professor Jonathan Van-Tam, England’s deputy chief medical officer, said on Jan. 24 that “we do not yet know the impact of the vaccine on transmission of the virus.”
“So even after you have had both doses of the vaccine you may still give COVID-19 to someone else and the chains of transmission will then continue,” (Snip)Therefore, he urged the millions of Britons who have already been vaccinated to keep following the lockdown rules.

Sen. Mike Rounds (R-S.D.) criticized President Joe Biden’s revocation of the permit for the Keystone XL pipeline in an interview aired on Saturday, saying that the oil which would have traveled through the pipeline will go to China or another country or be shipped to the United States by rail, which Rounds said is less safe.
“Look, they’re going to pump the oil, and it’s going to go someplace. It’s too valuable not to, and we still need the oil. So, it’s either going to be shipped to other countries, including China, which has not the same type of environmental regulations that we have when it comes to the processing of

“The ability to just live a normal life is pretty amazing,” he said. While many countries are still reeling from Covid-19, China — where the pandemic originated — has become one of the safest places in the world. The country reported fewer than 100,000 infections for all of 2020.
TAIPEI, Taiwan—The U.S State Department has voiced concerns about China’s continued military aggression against Taiwan, after China breached the island’s air defense zone with 13 military aircraft.
“We urge Beijing to cease its military, diplomatic, and economic pressure against Taiwan and instead engage in meaningful dialogue with Taiwan’s democratically elected representatives,” State Department spokesperson Ned Price said in a statement on Jan. 23.
He added: “We will continue to assist Taiwan in maintaining a sufficient self-defense capability. Our commitment to Taiwan is rock-solid and contributes to the maintenance of peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait and within the region.”
Former U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Mark Morgan accused the Biden administration of making the United States less safe within hours of being sworn in last week.
“With the stroke of a pen, President Biden made this country less safe,” (Snip) “It’s pure politics over public safety.”
“Look, I know what our team said to the transition team,” the former commissioner said, adding that he believes the administration did not speak to experts with the Border Patrol about what policies should remain. “I know the facts and data and analysis that was provided.

Dr. Anthony Fauci, President Biden‘s chief medical adviser, accused the previous presidential administration on Friday of having prevented him from appearing on MSNBC‘s popular “The Rachel Maddow Show” cable program. Appearing on “Maddow” two days into Mr. Biden‘s presidency, the head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases said he would have been on sooner if not for the Trump administration.
“I’ve been wanting to come on your show for months and months. You’ve been asking me to come on your show for months and months, and it’s just gotten blocked,” Dr. Fauci told the show’s host.
Generations of children have been charmed by the magical tale of the boy who never grew up, but Peter Pan is now on a list of banned movies. Bosses at Disney have blocked anyone under the age of seven from watching the 1953 animated classic on its streaming service over concerns that it portrays racial stereotypes, The Mail on Sunday can reveal. Three other long-standing family favourites–The Aristocats, Swiss Family Robinson and Dumbo–have also been removed from children’s accounts for breaching ‘content advisories’ that were recently put in place.(Snip)It is understood the main reason behind Peter Pan being blocked is because
A COVID-19 testing facility was torched in the Netherlands during riots on the first night of a strict new curfew—with police later using water cannons against protesters as the violence raged on Sunday. Local media video from Urk, a fishing village about 50 miles northeast of Amsterdam, showed a mob breaking into the portable testing facility on Saturday night and setting it ablaze. By Sunday morning, only a burnt-out shell remained, with police saying it came on a night where rioters were throwing stones and fireworks in an attempt to destroy cop cars. The violence came as a strict curfew
Senator Rand paul debunked George Stephanopoulos’s claims that no election fraud occurred, repeatedly slamming the ABC host for his left-wing bias.The January 24th interview was intended to have Senator Amy Klobuchar as its third participant, but due to audio issues, the nearly seven-minute program consisted of just Senator Paul and Stephanopoulos.The ABC host repeatedly press the Kentucky Senator with the question: “the election was not stolen, do you accept that fact?”In addition to Senate Paul slamming Stephanopoulos’s clear left-wing, anti-Trump bias several times, he also insisted that “the debate over whether or not there was fraud should occur.”
Amazon is seeking to block mail-in votes in an upcoming unionization vote.
Workers at a warehouse in Bessemer, Alabama, are scheduled to vote soon on whether to unionize, with ballots being sent out on Feb. 8. The National Labor Relations Board said earlier this month that the vote would take place entirely by mail because of the COVID-19 pandemic. (Snip)Approximately 2.9 percent of Amazon’s 7,575 employees and third-party workers tested positive for COVID-19 in the two weeks ending on Jan. 7, Amazon said. The company contests that that percentage doesn’t constitute an outbreak.
Mitt Romney made the rounds on the Sunday shows this morning. As expected, he was pressed on impeachment and took the opportunity to bash Donald Trump. At one point on Chris Wallace’s show, the host said it sounds like he’s going to vote to convict Trump, and Romney still couldn’t just be upfront, instead choosing to say he wants to hear the defense first. Yeah, I’m sure that’s going to change his mind.Regardless, another topic also came up regarding who the future of the GOP will be over the next several years. Romney mentioned some names, and be warned, you may want to stop sipping your coffee before reading them.

Some would say it was inevitable: a non-politician decides to take on the swamp in the name of the “forgotten men and women” of America, is eventually sabotaged by the deep state, and is unceremoniously ejected from office after just one term. Remember, Donald Trump was the first president we have ever had, from Washington to Obama, who wasn’t a member of the political or military elite. Every single president America has ever had has been a former general, senator, congressman, or governor. In 2016, American voters changed all that and so changed America, but only, seemingly, for four years. He was the first non-swamp dweller chief executive.
Protests outside an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Portland turned ugly on Saturday night as federal authorities threatened mass arrests for trespassing. Dramatic videos posted on Twitter showed the crowd chanting: 'No borders! No nations! Abolish deportations!' Officers with the Federal Protective Service, a branch within the Department of Homeland Security, declared an unlawful assembly at about 10pm and ordered protesters to disperse. 'If you trespass on federal property with a weapon… you will be arrested,' a recording warned the crowd before officers began deploying tear gas and flash bangs.(Snip)Dozens of protesters were seen resisting officers' orders to leave the area.
Dr. Deborah Birx, the former White House coronavirus task force coordinator, said in an interview airing Sunday that the Jan. 20 inauguration of President Biden could end up being a “super spreader” event. “It could be—when you bring 30,000 people together where you know that they’re most likely to have asymptomatic infections and you haven’t prescreened, pre-tested, [and] serially tested all of these troops,” Dr. Birx told CBS’ “Face the Nation. “These are dedicated troops,” she said. “They’re going to do their mission. I can promise you that they will sacrifice their own health to do their mission.” There were about 26,000 National Guard members

Wuhan, the Chinese industrial city where the coronavirus was first detected, has largely returned to normal as the rest of the world battles the pandemic. Residents in the city of 11 million were jogging and practicing tai chi in a park, many of them without face shields, last week. Wuhan accounted for most of China’s 4,635 deaths, but has been free of outbreaks since lockdown was lifted in April, according to the Associated Press.

Members of the Biden administration admitted they were behind in getting the coronavirus vaccine into the arms of Americans across the country, but blamed the delay on “bottlenecks” and the lack of a comprehensive plan from the Trump White House. Ron Klain, President Biden’s nominee as White House Chief of Staff, said a vaccination plan “did not really exist when we came into the White House.” “The fundamental difference between the Biden approach and the Trump approach is that we are going to take responsibility at the federal government,” Klain said Sunday on NBC News’ “Meet the Press.” Xavier Becerra, the nominee
Bill Maher always presents an interesting case study in Democrats. Sometimes he lands in the crazy leftist camps. Sometimes he lands in a more centrist Democrat camp. However, always he isn’t afraid to give voice to the real intentions of the Democrat party.As Fox News reported, on his show last night Bill explored what direction that the Democrat party would take now that Trump is gone. As his guest was blaming the riot at the Capitol on Trump, Bill made a terrifying statement: “Now that we’ve gotten rid of Trump, we’re faced with this problem as Americans. Now we can’t blame everything on him.
President Joe Biden rode a record-breaking $145 million in “dark money” donations into the White House, Bloomberg News reported Saturday. “Dark money” is donations from anonymous donors to outside groups backing a given candidate. Biden’s $145 million is the all-time record for a candidate challenging an incumbent president, according to Bloomberg. Former President Donald Trump received $28 million from such donations. Many Democrats have called for an end to dark money donations as it is difficult for the public to discover where the donations are coming from.pro-Biden outside spending group Priorities USA defended their donations

What a clown show. Joe Biden, signed a number of Executive Orders last week but there is no evidence he has any idea what he was signing. Joe Biden signed 15 Executive Orders on Wednesday alone, his first day in office. These orders involved providing billions of US taxpayer money ‘to tackle the climate crisis’, preventing discrimination ‘on the basis of gender identity’, and forcing federal workers to wear masks for months. Per the official register only nine Orders have so far been recorded, all from January 20:

The MAGA movement is a unified common sense political network. No-one in the current GOP is ever going to win reelection without the support of the MAGA base and President Donald Trump. The GOPe is dead, they just don’t know it yet.
One example comes from Arizona where the republican party has voted to censure anti-Trump voices like Cindy McCain, Jeff Flake and Doug Ducey. The republican party is a Trump centric operation now…. you are either with us, or against us. It matters not. FOX NEWS – (Snip)
The censures of Sen. John McCain’s widow, former Sen. Jeff Flake and Gov. Doug Ducey are merely symbolic.
A word is more than just a neutral label attached to an object; it also carries a time-hardened public attitude.

As if the winter darkness doesn't present its own health challenges in a non-pandemic year, a recent study suggests that the sun's lack of intensity in the coldest months of this year might also be enhancing the transmission of COVID-19.

Among corporate America’s biggest worries about a Biden presidency was that he might cave to the left wing of his party and select Elizabeth Warren as his top white-collar-crime cop.
Well, the corporate chieftains dodged that bullet, only to find themselves now in the crosshairs of the next worst thing.
To say Gary Gensler — nominated as head of the Securities and Exchange Commission — is the favorite regulator of the business-hating Massachusetts senator isn’t an overstatement. Both he and Warren view the business of monitoring securities markets and regulating big business as more of a progressive holy war than matter of governance.
Following the strange inauguration of Joe Biden, some 25,000 to 65,000 National Guard troops brought in to guard the Capitol were in for a string of insults. First, their loyalty was questioned. Then their professionalism was questioned. And with no clear purpose for so many of them to protect the Capitol, it was clear they were being used for photo op props, not the service they were sworn to. They found themselves there not to chase off rioters, but to bolster Democrats in their political purpose of smearing Republicans as insurgents.
The final insult came when someone ordered them to get lost from the Capitol.
Sen. Chuck Grassley on Friday called on the Justice Department to explain its decision to close an investigation into leaks of information about former national security adviser Michael Flynn with a finding of no wrongdoing on the part of Obama administration officials.

From the moment President Trump took office in 2017, the GOP almost instantaneously morphed into a strong political party helmed by a non-politician. Under Trump’s lead, the once weak-spine, dull, and globalist-focused party transitioned into the people’s party.Although a registered Republican since the age of 18, I was never enthused about any Republican candidate; in fact, I would often stall at the polling booth and ponder if the Democrat candidate would be a better choice—on more than one occasion I ended up voting for the opposite side.

Literally, for years, Democrats have complained that prices for prescription drugs are too high, a criticism that really ramped up during the debates over the Affordable Care Act.And during the most recent presidential campaign cycle, it was no different.“Several candidates have supported legislation to enable direct government regulation or control of prescription drug prices beyond Medicare Part D. These bills vary in whether they target the absolute price of a drug itself or the rate of price growth, and in the nature and magnitude of the penalties they impose on firms for non-compliance,” Health Affairs reported in August 2019.

As Democrats plunge ahead with a post-term impeachment trial of President Donald Trump, a key question remains: Will Chief Justice Roberts take the case? Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky says he won’t--making the exercise “a fake, partisan impeachment,” the lawmaker told Fox News’ Sean Hannity Friday.
