On Friday, the Justice Department announced the indictment of two members of the “Proud Boys” stemming from their conversations before the riot at the US Capitol on January 6. Dominic Pezzola, 43, of Rochester, New York, and William Pepe, 31, of Beacon, New York, were indicted today in federal court in the District of Columbia on charges of conspiracy; civil disorder; unlawfully entering restricted buildings or grounds; and disorderly and disruptive conduct in restricted buildings or grounds. Pezzola was also charged with obstruction of an official proceeding; additional counts of civil disorder and aiding and abetting civil disorder; robbery of personal property of the United States; assaulting, resisting, or impeding
Dean Baquet, the executive editor of The New York Times, decided to give science reporter Donald McNeil a second chance despite finding that he’d made offensive (allegedly quite racist) remarks on a trip with schoolchildren. Fair enough — but how does that square with the Times’ crucifixion of ESPN’s Doug Adler a few years back?
Adler’s only “crime” was to describe Venus Williams’ play at the net as “guerilla” tactics. But, as our own Phil Mushnick has reported repeatedly, a Times critic took it as “gorilla” — and that was enough not only to get ESPN to fire Adler, but to destroy his career.
And no matter that “guerilla” is used
A Tsunami of Hate

Our friend David Horowitz makes the case that our present political crisis is not the result of polarized views on policy, but rather is caused by the Left’s outpouring of vicious hate and determination to crush all opposition.
Everybody agrees that our country is in crisis – and agrees that it is the worst crisis since the Civil War. But at the same time, we tell ourselves a comforting tale about the source of the crisis that perpetuates the problem instead of providing a path to ending it. We say our politics are “divisive” and talk about “unity and healing” as though that would miraculously be achieved
Saturday Night Live completely avoided parodying Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in its first episode since the pair were sworn into office.Hosted by John Krasinki, the first SNL of 2021 managed to not feature either the president or vice president in its skits. Instead it featured special 'appearances' from Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, Mark Zuckerberg and Tom Brady. The move was blasted online by some viewers who described the show as a 'snoozefest' which is 'too scared of getting canceled'. Others noted how Donald Trump had been the butt of their jokes for the past four years.
Longtime ABC News chief James Goldston stunned industry insiders Thursday by announcing he’s stepping down from his post. Goldston, who has had a 17-year career at the network and helmed its news division for seven, leaves his plum post with no successor lined up and no job to go to. In a memo to staff, seen by Page Six, Goldston wrote, “It’s a really tough decision. I’ve loved every day of my 17 years at ABC News, but in recent times I’ve always assumed that after this extraordinary election cycle, which we’ve covered at a full sprint for four years, it would be time
Jack Palladino, the private investigator hired by former President Bill Clinton during his 1992 campaign to help discredit women claiming extramarital affairs with him, was reportedly on life support after being robbed Thursday outside of his San Francisco home. Palladino, whose celebrity clients have also included Harvey Weinstein, Don Johnson, Kevin Costner, Robin Williams, Huey Newton and Snoop Dogg, fell onto the pavement outside his home when the robber grabbed his new camera from around his neck, the San Francisco Police Department said, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.
He suffered a traumatic brain injury in the fall and wasn’t expected to survive,
Newly released bodycam videos show Rochester cops pepper-spraying a 9-year-old girl in the upstate New York city. Footage from one video shot during a family dispute on Friday shows the distraught youngster running from police, then dropping to the snow-covered ground as a cop tries to bring her back.
“I want my dad,” the girl screams in a second video. “I ain’t going nowhere. I want my dad… I’m not getting in no car until I see my dad.”(Snip) Nine police cars responded to the call, police said. The girl’s mother, who was also not identified, is seen

of Americans after outcry replies
After a massive outcry, the Biden Defense Department paused plans to give the COVID-19 vaccine to about 40 Guantanamo Bay detainees, including Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, one of the masterminds behind the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. While millions of Americans wait in line, The New York Times reported last week that Gitmo detainees and prisoners will be offered vaccines on a voluntary basis, beginning as early as Monday. But the Pentagon halted those plans Saturday in the face of heavy criticism for prioritizing terror suspects ahead of American citizens, according to CBS News.House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., pinned responsibility for the initial decision,
Rush Limbaugh spent a portion of his program on Friday discussing what he believes is more treachery by the GOP establishment as it seeks to ‘cleanse’ the party of Trumpism — which most realistic analysts believe, at this point, would be political suicide.And that’s precisely the point, the conservative talk king noted.Limbaugh, who has long since been known for his keen intellect and ability to see through the political chaff, said that the GOP elites won’t have a problem at all becoming the minority party for the foreseeable future if it means the end of the MAGA movement — much like the RINO elite opposed the conservative populism of
Donald Trump has announced attorneys David Schoen and Bruce Castor will head the legal team in his second impeachment trial. Schoen, based in Alabama, was readying to defend Jeffrey Epstein when the New York financier was found dead in his cell in August 2019, in what Schoen insists was not suicide.
Castor was district attorney for Montgomery County in Pennsylvania when Bill Cosby was accused of sexual assault by Andrea Constand. He declined to prosecute; his successor secured a conviction in 2018. The former president released a statement through his office calling the trial lawyers 'highly-respected'. He also said that both Schoen and Castor agree
Former President Trump was no Jimmy Carter and President Biden is no Ronald Reagan. The elections of four decades ago offer informative parallels for what is — and is not — now happening in the U.S. Comparing the two parties’ last presidential defeats, Republicans are in a much stronger position now than Democrats were then.
Defeats of elected presidential incumbents are rare. Since 1916, they have lost re-election only four times. It is worthwhile comparing each party’s last defeat — especially considering their shared elements.
Twenty-one men have come forward to accuse longtime Republican strategist John Weaver of sexually harassing them online. The New York Times outlined interviews with those 21 accusers—many who were not named—in an article published Sunday. It came two weeks after Weaver publicly admitted to sending inappropriate messages to men and stepped down from the Lincoln Project, an anti-Trump super PAC he co-founded. The accusers described how Weaver, 61, groomed and preyed on them for years with unsolicited promises to help them get work in politics in exchange for sex.(Snip) In another case, Weaver allegedly propositioned a boy beginning
Anti-Trump conservative group the Lincoln Project has threatened Rudy Giuliani with a defamation suit after he claimed the group organized the deadly Capitol riots last month in a bid to discredit the then-president.
Trump lawyer Giuliani told Steve Bannon's War Room podcast that he believed the riots were not organized by Trump supporters, but by leftist 'Antifa' activists and conservative 'wolves in sheep's clothing'. He said: 'One of the people who organized this is well known for having worked with the Lincoln Project in the past.'(Snip) In a scorching letter to Giuliani released on Saturday, the group threatened legal action,
President Biden’s top economic adviser said the administration will take a look at the legal questions surrounding the roller-coaster ride GameStop took last week as small-dollar traders squared off against well-heeled hedge fund managers, sending its stock soaring to astronomical levels. “I could tell you the SEC is focused on understanding fully what happened here. And their focus is on protecting retail investors and also the integrity of the market,” Brian Deese, the head of the National Economic Council, told NBC News’ “Meet the Press.” The Securities and Exchange Commission said last Friday that it will take action “to identify and pursue potential wrongdoing.”
enator Bill Cassidy didn’t hold back during an interview Sunday morning with FNC’s Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace. The talk of working with the other side of the aisle is just a whole lot of malarkey coming from Joe Biden and his administration. On a top priority, a COVID relief package, Senator Cassidy told Wallace that the administration never reached out to work with Republicans. Not once. Cassidy didn’t say it once, he said it twice as Wallace did his usual bidding for Democrats and Joe Biden’s administration.
The banners outside the White House on Inauguration Day proclaimed the arrival of the “Biden-Harris” administration. And since then, they have governed as if physically joined by a hyphen.They were both in the Oval Office on Friday to receive the president’s daily security briefing together, and then again for an economic briefing with Janet Yellen, the newly installed secretary of the Treasury. Lunch together followed in the president’s private dining room.Their close relationship strikes a stark contrast with their immediate predecessors, who did not speak for five days this month when an already strained relationship stretched to a breaking point after the Capitol violence on Jan. 6.
Rep. Adam Kinzinger on Sunday offered a glimpse of what it’s like being one of the 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach former President Donald Trump: Friends and family turned against him, and he was told he’s “possessed by the devil.”
“Look it’s really difficult. I mean, all of a sudden imagine everybody that supported you, or so it seems that way, your friends, your family, has turned against you. They think you're selling out,” the Illinois congressman said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”
“I've gotten a letter, a certified letter, twice from the same people, disowning me and claiming I'm possessed by the devil.”
It really is all in our heads after all. Promising new gene research by a leading expert in Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder has revealed changes in the brains of those afflicted with the illness. The ongoing study gives hope for better understanding of, and treatment for, a disorder that affects an estimated 8 million Americans a year, according to Dr. Matthew Friedman, who is a professor and vice chair for research in the Department of Psychiatry at the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth.
One of the very fanciest, most expensive prep schools in the country recently has been convulsed with demands to alter its curriculum and staff to force feed a radical racial agenda on the children of the Ruling Class. But a group of parents has circulated a letter of protest, seeking to ensure that Junior and Muffy will not be dumbed down and radicalized in the name of avenging the death of George Floyd of a drug overdose while in custody of the Minneapolis Police.
Retail sites were overwhelmed with physical demand for silver on Sunday, suggesting the Reddit-inspired frenzy that roiled commodities markets last week is spilling over into physical bars and coins. Sites from Money Metals and SD Bullion to JM Bullion and Apmex, the Walmart of precious metals products in North America, said they were unable to process orders until Asian markets open because of unprecedented demand for silver. Premiums on American Eagle silver coins have risen to close to $5 from a normal level of $2 over the past three days, according to Everett Millman at Gainesville Coins in Florida. His
Bitterly cold winter conditions are setting in. And the coronavirus is spreading among the National Guard troops occupying D.C. as part of Biden's political theater. Many Republican governors stepped up to end the occupation when troops were forced to sleep in parking garages because they had offended a Democrat staffer. But Democrat governors are doubling down on the authoritarian occupation of D.C. and are deploying more soldiers to intimidate Americans.
There's nothing illegal or unethical about what IMG Models did. However, the New York–based modeling agency that has some of the biggest names on its roster suddenly discovered a hidden Cinderella in our midst: Ella Emhoff, who is Kamala Harris's 22-year-old stepdaughter. The problem with this amazing discovery is that Emhoff is entirely ordinary and seems somewhat scary. It's patently clear that IMG is capitalizing on her stepmother's position, and that's just sleazy.
Over the years, IMG has represented people such as Lauren Hutton, Christie Brinkley, the Hadid sisters, and Karlie Kloss — names so big and women so beautiful by any standard that even I recognize them

Mixed on Constitutionality of Trump Second
Impeachment Trial replies
The upcoming Senate impeachment trial against former President Donald Trump is a first-of-its-kind proceeding and legal scholars have expressed mixed opinions about its constitutionality.
Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) raised a point of order on the Senate floor earlier this week, forcing the chamber to take a stance on the constitutionality of the proceedings. Although it returned a 55-45 vote, meaning the trial will go ahead, it also revealed nearly half of the chamber is of the view the proceedings are unconstitutional.
Many scholars who are arguing that the trial is unconstitutional are relying on an interpretation of Article II, Section 4, of the U.S. Constitution which states, “The President,
Twin Cities-based General Mills is honoring an Olympic champion who remains an enduring symbol of the 1960s protest movement by putting his image on Wheaties boxes.

Reminiscent of the Obama Internal Revenue Service’s (IRS) witch hunt of conservative groups, a U.S. Senator who sits on the committee that oversees the tax agency is pushing it to revoke a student charity’s nonprofit status. The veteran lawmaker, Rhode Island Democrat Sheldon Whitehouse, says the conservative student organization, Turning Point USA, should lose its nonprofit rating because it held large events that could help spread COVID-19.
A group of New York parents have lost their bid to get their children exempt from school vaccination requirements after Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor rejected the effort.The anonymous group of parents had sought to have their kids skip being vaccinated because they were learning remotely instead of in classrooms.But even kids who take classes online must be vaccinated, State Health Commissioner Howard Zucker’s office said, prompting the parents to pursue their case in court.“Excluding medically fragile children from distance learning because they are missing a vaccine that might harm or kill them serves no valid state interest
Melvin Capital Management lost over half its assets after GameStop burned short-selling funds this month. The hedge fund, which was at the heart of the GameStop frenzy, lost 53% in January, sources close to the fund told Insider. The Wall Street Journal first reported the loss.
Melvin Capital, founded by star portfolio manager Gabe Plotkin, started the year with $12.5 billion in assets and ended the month with more than $8 billion in assets under management after current investors committed additional capital, the source said. Billionaire investors Steve Cohen and Ken Griffin invested $2.75 billion into the hedge fund earlier this week.
New York Times columnist Charles M. Blow is calling for black Americans to launch a 'reverse Great Migration' and move back to the South to create racial majorities in the states their ancestors fled two centuries ago.
Blow presents his provocative proposal in his new book 'The Devil You Know: A Black Power Manifesto', which hit bookstores last week.(Snip) Looking back through a modern lens, Blow asserts that 'the initial benefits of the Great Migration have given way, in many ways, to a stinging failure', citing the 'perpetual oppression' wrought by housing discrimination, police brutality, white nationalism and other forces.
Ten Republican senators on Sunday proposed their own framework for a COVID-19 relief package, calling on President Joe Biden to work alongside them in drafting the legislation.
The lawmakers, including Senators Susan Collins (R., Maine), Lisa Murkowski (R., Alaska), Mitt Romney (R., Utah) and Rob Portman (R., Ohio), sent a letter to Biden saying they “welcome the opportunity to work with (him) in a bipartisan manner to combat the Covid-19 virus and provide continued support to families struggling during the pandemic.”
“In the spirit of bipartisanship and unity, we have developed a Covid-19 relief framework that builds on prior Covid assistance laws, all of which passed with bipartisan support,” they wrote.
The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors has balked and manipulated information and the media to prevent a valid audit of the county’s 2020 election results. Now the local media outlet ABC15 is assisting them by claiming it is against state law for the county to provide ballots to auditors to review.It was reported yesterday that the Arizona Senate has requested an audit of the Maricopa County 2020 election results and will select the auditor themselves.

President Biden has united Republicans with his oil-and-gas crackdown — they’re against it — but his aggressive orders have created a bind for Democratic governors in states feeling the heat over his drilling freeze on federal lands and waters.
In Colorado, Democratic Gov. Jared Polis praised Mr. Biden as “a president that believes in science” and “cleaner energy” while making it clear that the moratorium on new oil-and-gas leases on federal lands and waters signed Wednesday cannot last forever.
“We will also work closely with the Biden administration as they begin a program-wide review of energy development policy on public lands to ensure that it works for Colorado,”

President Joe Biden says he wants most schools serving kindergarten through eighth grade to reopen by late April, but even if that happens, it is likely to leave out millions of students, many of them minorities in urban areas. “We’re going to see kids fall further and further behind, particularly low-income students of color,” said Shavar Jeffries, president of Democrats for Education Reform. “There’s potentially a generational level of harm that students have suffered from being out of school for so long.” Like some other officials and education advocates, Jeffries said powerful teachers unions are standing in the way of
After just one week in the White House, the Biden administration is already buckling under the pressure from the coronavirus pandemic as officials are still yet to locate 20million COVID-19 vaccine doses distributed to the states last month.

They are competent. It's just the weight of everything when you sit down in that chair. It's heavy,' a source with knowledge of the situation told Politico.
Weymouth, MA – Some students at Weymouth High School started a petition to ban the display of the Thin Blue Line flag in any form on their campus because it offends them, but the students who support law enforcement are fighting back and say they are doing it in memory of murdered Weymouth Police Officer Michael Chesna. Many students and staff at Weymouth High School have shown their support for the fallen hero who was killed in the line of duty on July 15, 2018 when a suspect bashed him in the head with a rock and then shot the officer in the head.

Suppose you’re a die-hard Democrat. What do you do about such issues as:
Transgenderism in women’s sports. Do you side with persons having male chromosomes but identify as women – who happen to be overwhelmingly Democrats – when they want to compete in sports against women? Or do you side with genetic women – who are also predominately Democrats – who are concerned that subjecting genetic women to competition from persons who’ve spent most of their lives developing height, girth and muscle mass as a man with male chromosomes and testosterone levels will destroy women’s sports?
Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.), one of 10 Republicans to vote to impeach Donald Trump earlier this month, has launched a new leadership political action committee that is designed to become a financial engine to challenge the former president’s wing of the GOP caucus and stand up against a leadership team still aligned with him. Kinzinger, a onetime star of the 2010 Tea Party class, said the Jan. 6 insurrection at the Capitol served as a final breaking point for the direction of the Republican Party, providing a stark divide between those who want to continue a path toward autocracy and
The South Carolina Republican Party (SCGOP) has voted to formally censure Rep. Tom Rice (R-S.C.), who voted with Democrats to impeach then-President Donald Trump earlier this month.
Rice was one of ten Republicans who joined Democrats in impeaching Trump for a second time, in a 232–197 vote in the House on Jan. 13. (Snip)
In a statement, Drew McKissick, who currently serves as State Chairman for the SCGOP, noted that after the impeachment vote, an effort to condemn Rice emerged at the grassroots level from a county in his district.
The resolution passed through various committees before reaching the SCGOP State Executive Committee, whose members then voted for it to pass.

Pope Francis met with Cardinal Blase Cupich on Saturday, 10 days after the cardinal publicly criticized the U.S. bishops’ official statement on the inauguration of President Joe Biden.
The private audience occurred in the Apostolic Palace on the morning of Jan. 30. Cardinal Cupich, the archbishop of Chicago, has been in Rome for a meeting of the Vatican Congregation for Bishops. The Holy See Press Office did not release any further information on the meeting other than that it took place.
President Biden’s embrace of utter nonsense pushed by the “woke” continued with last week’s executive orders to “advance racial equity” and “root out systemic racism in housing and criminal justice.”
The “equity” approach assumes that any outcome that doesn’t meet inane racial quotas is the result of bias. It is, in fact, systematically racist.
The four executive orders Biden signed Tuesday don’t seem that earth-shattering. He directed the Department of Housing and Urban Development “to take steps necessary to redress racially discriminatory federal housing policies,” told the Justice Department to stop using private prisons, recommitted the feds to honoring tribal sovereignty and vowed to combat “racism,

Reporters asked Kerry how the new administration would explain to hundreds of thousands of energy workers about the necessity of making them unemployed, Kerry suggested that they could “make better choices,” and told reporters that they should learn to build solar panels instead. Kerry also made some claims about the dynamism of employment in the wind and solar energy fields, claims that got the attention of Washington Post fact checker Glenn Kessler:

Maxine Waters (D-CA) calling on her supporters to harass members of the former Trump administration but altered the quote to target Gov. Andrew Cuomo's (D-NY) administration.

A portion of Highway 1 near Big Sur, Calif., collapsed this week and fell into the Pacific Ocean after heavy rains caused a “debris flow” of trees, boulders, water and mud, leaving behind a 150-foot-wide gap.

The latest sordid example involves one of Joe’s younger brothers, Frank Biden, appearing in a Florida law firm’s ad — on Inauguration Day no less. The ad used the president’s name to draw attention to the Berman Law Group’s class-action suit against sugar cane growers.“The two Biden brothers have long held a commitment to pushing environmental issues to the forefront,” says the ad. “The president-elect has vowed to rejoin the Paris Agreement and wants to set ambitious greenhouse gas reduction targets.”
