A Christian organization has been suspended from the Twitter social media platform for stating Dr. Rachel Levine’s, assistant secretary for health at the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), biological sex. In recent weeks tech giants like Twitter, Facebook, and Google have been censuring mostly conservative voices on social media platforms, including former President Donald Trump and My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell. “You can now add Focus on the Family’s The Daily Citizen to the list,” Jim Daly, president of the organization, wrote in a blog last week.

SAN FRANCISCO — Within hours of President Joe Biden’s inauguration, the Internet was consumed by images of Sen. Bernie Sanders sitting, stone-faced, bundled against the cold in a parka and colorful mittens. The meme turned into a fundraising bonanza for nonprofits and a symbol of a new administration getting down to business, as a contrast to the carefully curated image cultivated by its predecessor. Who could possibly find fault with that? (Snip) “What did they see? They saw a white man in a puffy jacket and huge mittens, distant not only in his social distancing, but in his demeanor and

Somewhere right now, a 20-something-year-old guy is setting down his controller in between rounds of Call of Duty to pick up his phone and opening up an app to check on how his GameStop stock is doing. It’s his day off from his job and he’s spending it gaming, binging Netflix, and stuffing his face with junk food. He, like many people around his age group, is a pretty standard sight in today’s society with a clear exception. This average guy is a hero, and he’s bringing down some of the most powerful and corrupt people in our society right there from his couch, in between Warzone matches.

Jalina Porter, who was recently made the deputy spokeswoman of Joe Biden’s State Department, called American cops “largest threat to U.S. national security” in a Facebook post in 2016, reports the Washington Free Beacon. The Beacon obtained a screenshot of the offending remarks. “An unarmed Black man takes a knee for justice, bigots riot. An unarmed black man (with his hands raised) takes a bullet and dies, these same bigots are silent. Explain this to me, please,” the alleged post by Porter says. “The largest threat to U.S. national security are U.S. cops. Not ISIS, not Russian hackers, not anyone or anything else.

The next coronavirus stimulus package will include $30 billion in relief for public transit agencies—and the MTA is on track to get the biggest chunk of that, according to a source close to Senate Majority Leader Sen. Chuck Schumer, who’s pressing to make infrastructure projects in the city a key priority now that Democrats control Congress. The source did not give an exact figure for how much money is bound for the MTA, but noted that the $30 billion pot is larger than the transit aid allocations from the past two stimulus packages. “And the MTA will receive a substantial amount of that,”

There is no question that, regardless of what anyone may think of his presidency, Donald Trump’s foreign policy accomplishments were exemplary and second-to-none in the modern era.In addition to keeping America out of new wars, he managed to reduce our military footprint in places we should have pulled out of more than a decade ago.Oh, and in his spare time, the former president’s team also managed to secure a series of historic peace deals in very troubled parts of the world that literally no president before him has managed to even come close to matching.

The Capitol Police officer who shot and killed Air Force veteran Ashli Babbitt during the January 6 insurrection should not be prosecuted, an initial police investigation has concluded.
Babbitt, 35, was killed as she tried to climb through a broken window to get into congressional chambers, after breaking into the federal building with a mob of pro-Trump rioters.
On Monday night sources told The Wall Street Journal that the unnamed Capitol lieutenant had been cleared by an internal investigation.
The Justice Department will ultimately decide whether to press charges, and is yet to make their conclusions.

Joe Biden is off to the most left-wing start of any Democratic president in recent memory.
Just two weeks later, the dulcet tones of Biden’s inaugural address already seem an artifact of a bygone era. Republicans will hammer him for the rest of his presidency for failing to deliver on his unifying message, but the fact is that Biden is governing as he promised — further to the left of his own record, further to the left of his ex-boss, former President Barack Obama, and further to the left of any Democrat who made his career prior to the ascendency of the cultural left.

A group of 10 Senate Republicans on Monday released a proposed $618 billion coronavirus stimulus plan that included, while lowering the direct payments to $1,000 and giving them to far fewer taxpayers. The $1,000 payments would be less than the $1,400 originally proposed, and go only to individuals making $40,000 or less, or married couples filing jointly making $80,000 or less. Those earning from $40,000 to $50,000 and married couples earning $80,000 to $100,000 would get a partial payment. Eligible families also would get $500 for each dependent child or adult.

Democrats and their media are hoping to impeach private citizen Donald Trump next week for inciting a riot at the US Capitol on January 6th. This will be quite a challenge for Democrats considering President Trump called for a peaceful protest and considering the violence was planned weeks in advance before President Trump’s speech. Then again Democrats will have one of their own senators presiding over the proceedings because the Supreme Court wants nothing to do with it.

Washington—The Biden administration is considering revoking former President Donald Trump’s access to intelligence briefings just weeks after he left the Oval Office. White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki on Monday confirmed that President Biden’s national security team was reviewing Trump’s access when asked by a reporter if they would “continue to extend the privilege” of classified information to Trump. “This is a good question,” Psaki said. “It’s something obviously that’s under review.”(Snip) At Monday’s briefing, the same reporter pointed Psaki to “concerns among some Democrats” that Trump would either “misuse” the information “or leverage it to enrich himself.”

Asked by a reporter whether Mr. Trump‘s ban by social media makes it easier for the Biden White House to negotiate with congressional Republicans, Ms. Psaki said it’s up to GOP lawmakers to decide whether it “gives them space” to work with Democrats.(Snip) Asked whether the White House favors a continued social media ban on Mr. Trump, Ms. Psaki noted that Mr. Biden has spoken out about “the need for social media platforms to continue to take steps to reduce hate speech.”

White House press secretary Jen Psaki made it clear on Monday that she’s got her eye on “conservative Twitter.” The Biden administration spokeswoman took the time to indirectly address a social media montage of her telling reporters that she would “circle back,” which garnered over 2.3 million views. “Last thing I want to do before we get to your questions, I often note that I’m going to circle back,” she said.(Snip) The comment became a “trending news” hashtag on Twitter and comes days after Grabien Media founder Tom Elliott released a “supercut” of Ms. Psaki balking on questions and vowing to “circle back” at another time.

The New York Times reported Sunday that while flying home on Air Force One from the Trump's last pre-election day rally, in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Eric proposed an Electoral College betting pool. The then-president's middle son wagered that his dad would win at least 320 electoral votes, with 270 needed to win the White House for another four years.(Snip) For Trump to get to 320 he would have had to retain Georgia, Arizona, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin

Former special prosecutor Ken Starr added to a chorus of conservative voices arguing that the Senate doesn’t have the jurisdiction to hold an impeachment trial against former President Donald Trump.
Starr, in comments to Fox News on Monday, stated that the upper chamber cannot try a president after leaving office.
“The answer is emphatically not,” Starr said, adding that “the text of the Constitution to me is absolutely clear that judgment in cases of impeachment” refers to the “removal and possible disqualification.” He argued that a “former officer, by definition, cannot be removed.”

As you may have already heard, there’s a recall effort going on in California right now, aiming to remove Governor Gavin Newsom from office. Even if the proponents of that movement manage to gather the required number of signatures and get the measure on the ballot, it’s far from a sure thing that there will be enough votes to actually replace him. But a little thing like public debate isn’t going to stop Facebook from making its intentions clear well in advance. As our colleague, Scott Hounsell reports this week at RedState, the social media giant is now refusing to sell any advertising space for messages supporting the recall effort.

At least nine senior state health officials have quit the New York State Health Department since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, in part due to clashes with Governor Andrew Cuomo over his approach to battling the virus.
The senior officials who have resigned or retired from the state health department in recent months include the deputy commissioner for public health, Dr. Isaac Weisfuse, who left in late summer.
Following Weisfuse’s departure, the director of the bureau of communicable disease control and the medical director for epidemiology also left. Last month, a state epidemiologist also announced her departure.

“I thought President Biden’s inaugural address was very good,” Zuckerberg said in the Jan. 21 meeting.
“In his first day, President Biden already issued a number of Executive Orders on areas that we as a company care quite deeply about and have for some time,” he added. “Areas like immigration, preserving DACA, ending restrictions on travel from Muslim-majority countries, as well as other Executive Orders on climate and advancing racial justice and equity. I think these were all important and positive steps.”

It goes on to claim that the British military ordered the clock tower dismantled. Then the "British moved the clock first to a new tower across from the municipality of Jerusalem, and transferred it to the British Museum in London, to become the famous British icon, 'Big Ben'."
How did Big Ben, which was built in 1859, become a Muslim clock tower from the 20th century?

After 40 years, CNN’s vice president of standards and practices Rick Davis is stepping down, but not before he gave Brian Stelter some stunning advice: book more conservatives to interview on your show. Naturally, Brian appeared to basically ignore and glibly gloss over the advice of his mentor because this is CNN, after all. On Sunday, the “Reliable Sources” host interviewed Davis and probably could not believe his ears. The admission came towards the end of the segment, but in it, Davis claimed that Stelter and CNN fell short in hearing from and listening to conservatives. So much for diversity.

Tuesday isn’t just for tacos anymore. Yesterday was Joe Biden’s Equity Tuesday when he highlighted his administration’s extensive plans for upping racial “equity” by undermining the 14th Amendment’s promise of “equal protection of the laws.”
“Equity” has become the dog-whistle term used to alert the Woke that you intend to deliver to them the equality of outcome they desire rather than the equality of opportunity they deserve. Politicians who laud “equity” are, in effect, inevitably promising racial quotas at the expense of the careers of competent white men and their families.

The sunlight of a free exchange of ideas, of thought-provoking discussion, of attending church, of tolerating a simple different point of view appears close to being extinguished. History is being rewritten and even statues of Lincoln are being brought down.

MIAMI — Two months after losing a race she was heavily favored to win, Donna Shalala continues to raise money and consider another run for the U.S. House of Representatives in Florida in 2022. Shalala, 79, has sent several fundraising emails through her political committee encouraging supporters to donate money to an effort to unseat U.S. Rep. María Elvira Salazar, the Republican and former TV journalist who defeated Shalala in the November election in her second run for the seat. On Friday, Shalala confirmed that she remains interested in running for Congress again next year, when newly drawn districts are

America has vowed to 'take action' if Myanmar military coup is not reversed after soldiers arrested de facto leader Aung San Suu Ky, the president and members of parliament in dawn raids on Monday.US Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken condemned the reports in a statement released overnight, and called for the military to 'reverse these actions immediately'.The generals struck amid fears that Suu Kyi would use her new mandate - which saw her humiliate military-backed parties at a vote held last year - to reform the constitution and remove their strangle-hold on power.Military leaders, who claim the vote was fraudulent, have now declared a year-long state of emergency,

The U.S. House of Representatives passed a new rules package that explicitly strikes “gendered language” from the official House rules. The rules prohibit the use of terms that designate the gender of familial relationships— father, mother, son, daughter, brother, sister, and so on—and replace them with gender-neutral terms.
Commentator Tammy Bruce, a radio and Fox Nation host, says this move Jan. 4 is “obscenely Marxist” because it “deconstructs what it means to be female.” She went on to say: “It reduces all of us, it eliminates the value of the individual and our uniqueness as individuals.”
The goal of social policing of our language is thought control, which epitomizes the Marxist agenda.

Only someone living under a rock hasn’t heard about the GameStop stock market shorting scandal. While the mechanics of the stock market battle are interesting, they’re nothing new. What’s new is this: The battle this time is being waged by Deplorable America vs. Elite America. And Elite America isn’t at all happy about it.
It’s well known that the stock market isn’t controlled by small investors, but by massive financial institutions. Recent data show that mutual funds, pension funds, hedge funds, Wall Street investment banks, public pensions and the like control more than 80% of all shares traded. They are

March weather, according to folklore, comes in like a lion and out like a lamb, although late March often has its share of nasty winter storms where I live. Donald Trump’s presidency has followed a similar pattern. (snip) Does Trump still have a trump card to play? (snip) It’s not in his nature to lose, especially in such fashion, exiting the biggest stage in the world like a lamb.
He has hinted at things to come, as when he mentioned in passing while golfing, “we haven’t finished yet.” I hold out hope, although dwindling, as without hope there is nothing.

How was the media going to handle the sex scandal at the Lincoln Project, which had worked to elect Joe Biden and Democrats?
Obviously by insisting that they're Republicans.
The New York Times went from touting Lincoln Project ads in the election to pretending that they're Republicans. And so the Times produced an article about the Lincoln Project which never mentions the word, "Biden" or "Democrats". [SNIP] The Times describes the Lincoln Project as anti-Trump. But that's that. No mention of which party they were backing. That's a little like talking about the World Series while only mentioning the other team.

LGBT activists are cheering Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s announcement that he will reverse an order from President Donald Trump and put up “pride” flags at U.S. Embassies around the world.
Outfront magazine reported on the development: The Biden administration is off to a hopeful start, as Secretary of State nominee, Antony Blinken, has confirmed a recommitment to LGBTQ rights. In a memo from July 2020, former Secretary of Defense Mark Esper released a list of flags permitted to be displayed at U.S. military bases. Missing from the list was the LGBTQ pride flag, which Esper compared to the confederate flag. Prior to the ban,

To expand on the awakening….and based on a recent call for clarity… here are some brutally obvious points about DC that connect through the stop-Trump operation commonly known as “spygate”. Robert Mueller had two goals as special counsel. Goal #1 was to continue the fraudulent DOJ/FBI “Stop Trump” operation initiated by James Comey, Andrew McCabe and their crew technically named Crossfire Hurricane. Goal #2 was to bury the illegal action; to create the cover-up needed for everything that took place in the “Stop Trump” operation. It is the second goal that most people never reconciled;(Snip)that second goal that’s the most important.
