Morgan Wallen is watching his career implode before his eyes as a consequence of a video that catches the country music star using a racial slur. Wallen and his buddies were laughing and carrying on after returning home from a night of drinking this past weekend. Their antics were loud and disruptive enough to wake the neighbors, one of whom decided to pull out a phone and document the commotion. Unfortunately for Wallen, the camera had been turned on right before he shouted to one of his friends across the street, presumably referring to another friend who was in perhaps an especially drunken state, “take care of this [blank] [n-word].”
NEW YORK— His name is The Weeknd but his Super Bowl performance felt like a dreary Monday morning.The pop star headlined the Super Bowl halftime show, running through his many hits like an Olympic relay track team aiming for the gold. But he wasn’t victorious Sunday night — no silver or bronze medals will be handed out here.The Weeknd kicked off his 14-minute set in his signature red blazer and sunglasses, directing his robotic ensemble and singing “Call Out My Name.” His nasally, semi-Michael Jackson-esque vocals shined — especially during “The Hills” and “Earned It” — but the performance felt like it was designed for a typical awards show

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are Super Bowl LV champions after completing a victory that exceeded expectations and made all kinds of history on Sunday night at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida. In dominating the Kansas City Chiefs 31-9, the Bucs became the first team to win a Super Bowl in their home stadium as quarterback Tom Brady secured his seventh Lombardi Trophy, by far the most of any player in NFL history.
In fact, Brady's seven rings are more than any other NFL franchise has won in its existence. The Super Bowl win is Tampa Bay's second in franchise history and first since 2002.
This is CNN.CNN’s “State of the Union” anchor Jake Tapper labeled Trump supporters ‘terrorists’ and said people who question the 2020 election results must be held accountable.After pushing the ‘Trump-Russia collusion’ lie for years, CNN is now telling Trump supporters to sit down and shut up about the Democrat voter fraud in the 2020 election.“If there is no accountability and no attempt by the Republican Party to stop these insane lies that have taken root in their party… This is not going to be the end of MAGA terrorism, this will only be the beginning,”
Football legend Jim Brown is a Trump supporter and for committing the sin of being a free-thinking black man, the fake media are using the movie One Night in Miami to single him out for reputational destruction.In order to spew a bunch of woke talking points, One Night in Miami is a terrible movie that uses a real-life event to spread a ton of lies about soul singer Sam Cooke being some sort of Uncle Tom. You can read all about that in my review here.Something else that’s happening with the movie’s release is the media using it as a means to make an example out of Jim Brown,
House Democrats will propose a bill on Monday that will give families as much as $3,600 per child for a single year as some lawmakers look to make the Child Tax Credit change permanent. Richard Neal, chairman of the House's Ways and Means Committee, is spearheading the proposed legislation—which seeks to bring millions of children out of poverty, outlets reported. If the 22-page legislation passes, the IRS would automatically start sending monthly checks of at least $250 to millions of families in July, the Washington Post first reported.(Snip) Single parents making up to $75,000 and joint couples who earn up to $150,000
A British edition of the U.S.-based GQ magazine drew widespread criticism and mocking online over its “Big Fit Makeover” featuring President Joe Biden in varying styles.“Joe Biden – Swagger-in-Chief,” read the cover of GQ Hype showing a smiling Biden dressed in Western clothing appearing to strum a guitar while sitting on the tailgate of a vintage pickup truck next to three bottles of Budweiser beer.“From double denim to peak preppy, #46 gets our BIG ‘FIT makeover,” the cover also read.“#46 is more than the saviour of the Union… He’s a true-blue style icon too…We gave President @JoeBiden a big ‘fit makeover, GQ style, for a special edition of GQHype,”
Pastor Chik Chikeles stood in front of the altar last month wearing a black T-shirt with the words "Democratic Platform 1. Murder Unborn Children 2. Molest the Survivors. Proverbs 24:11."
"Democrat platform is??" Chikeles asked the faithful in the pews of Calvary Chapel of St. Paul. Then he proclaimed the message on his shirt, citing the Proverbs verse that obligates believers to rescue those being led away to death or destruction. So began a Bible lesson accompanied by rhetoric reflecting growing stridency among a segment of Christians convinced that the nation's Christian heritage is under siege and must be restored, that the government
Super Bowl LV: Kansas City Chiefs v. Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicked off Sunday at the Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida. According to reports, 22,000 fans attended the Super Bowl on Sunday. The Bidens barged in and made a creepy video appearance before kickoff to lecture Americans about “social distancing.”

Cardi B says she noticed that a majority of the negative reactions to her hit song "WAP" in August came from Republican influencers.
The singer and rapper released the song in collaboration with Megan Thee Stallion and it quickly became one of the summer’s biggest hits. However, given the graphic and adult nature of the song, it also faced criticism that the star now says was mostly front the right.
Speaking with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe, the 28-year-old explained that she was surprised that people reacted so much to the song, arguing that she grew up listening to "nasty" and "freaky" music all her life.
Representative Maxine Waters (D-CA) said Sunday on MSNBC’s “Velshi” denied she glorified or encouraged violence against Republicans.In a video clip, waters said, “Let’s make sure we show up wherever we have to show up, and if you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out, and you create a crowd, and you push back on them.

Super Bowl 55 kicked off Sunday with recording artist Alicia Keys singing the so-called black national anthem, “Lift Ev’ry Voice and Sing,” along with a poem. Hitmaker Alicia Keys was tasked with a virtual performance of the 121-year-old spiritual song that has come to be known alternately as the “black national anthem” after being introduced in 1899 for Abraham Lincoln’s birthday. The poem read in 1899 was set to music in 1900. (Tweet/Video) Keys sang the song to kick off the season, as well.

Sen. Rand Paul said if Democrats seek to impeach former President Donald Trump for his rhetoric before the Capitol riot, then they should consider impeaching colleagues such as Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer "for inciting violence" in the past."I think if we are going to criminalize speech and somehow impeach everybody who says, oh, go fight to hear your voices heard, really we ought to impeach Chuck Schumer then," the Kentucky Republican told Fox News Sunday anchor Chris Wallace.

Gateway Pundit founder Jim Hoft has been permanently banned from Twitter after posting false election fraud claims to the site. Conservative radio host Wayne Allyn Root's account was also suspended Sunday after both men were accused of 'violating Twitter's civic integrity policy'.(Snip) It was not immediately clear which exact posts by Hoft and Root triggered the suspensions.

Rep. Cori Bush, D-Mo., is facing criticism for her reaction to a riot Saturday at a downtown St. Louis jail.
Inmates rioted over a variety of concerns, setting fires, smashing windows and throwing debris to the street below. It took corrections officers almost eight hours to end the "extremely violent" disturbance.
But the Missouri congresswoman tweeted a statement of support for the rioters, saying she would work to address their grievances, which include safety fears due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Former Secretary of State George P. Shultz, a titan of American academia, business and diplomacy who spent most of the 1980s trying to improve Cold War relations with the Soviet Union and forging a course for peace in the Middle East, has died. He was 100. Schultz died Saturday at his home on the campus of Stanford University, where he was a distinguished fellow at the Hoover Institution, a think tank, and professor emeritus at Stanford's Graduate School of Business.
Black Lives Matter protesters and Antifa agitators marched through Washington D.C. on Saturday and threatened people as they ate dinner, according to video footage and reports.
“Burn it down” is what the demonstrators said. “We are here tonight because black lives matter,” members of the far-left group also said. “Despite black lives mattering, black people are still dying at the hands of the police paid for by our tax dollars.”
Other video footage uploaded by independent journalists on the scene showed Antifa types fighting with police officers, who were trying to keep them away from restaurants. Some, who were clad in all black, could be seen holding the red-and-black Antifa flag.
Arrangements made between the U.S. and three Central American countries to curb the number of asylum claims at the U.S. border were suspended Saturday, the Biden administration announced.The Asylum Cooperative Agreements that limited some asylum seekers from making claims in the U.S. and required them to instead seek asylum in El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras were suspended and scheduled to be terminated with an executive order signed Tuesday, Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced.“To be clear, these actions do not mean that the U.S. border is open,” Blinken said in a statement. “While we are committed to expanding legal pathways for protection and opportunity
What did they call the union of corporations, a political party and the state in the 1930s? Does Bruce Springsteen understand what it means for an artist to use their art in service of such a bundling together of corporate, political and state power in the aftermath of a contested election that has seen a transfer of power backed up by thousands of armed troops deployed on the streets of the nation’s capitol and the deposed leader being put on trial by his triumphant enemies? Springsteen probably does know the answers to those questions and is gladly playing his part as did so many in

For every American, the fallout from Democratic control of the presidency and both Houses is to be slowly dispossessed of their freedom to choose, speak, assemble, bear arms, and to be assured that your children will be given a proper education free of political animus, gender confusion, and allegations of racial privilege. Putting 52 stars on the flag, overstuffing the Supreme Court, and loading up the voter rolls with illegal aliens will usher in a permanent political class exercising one-party rule. Apart from a bit of moaning and groaning, there seems little backbone from the Republican political establishment to hold the hill.
There are thousands of soldiers outside Congress and political terror inside its halls. That political terror isn’t coming from a QAnon Shaman who only eats organic food, but from the Democrats who are using a manufactured state of emergency to purge the opposition.
Democrats deployed 26,000 troops to Washington D.C. at a cost of $500 million. Thousands of soldiers, authorized to use deadly force as they were forbidden to do either at the border or during the Black Lives Matter assault on the White House, will stay to fight an imaginary threat.

In a few days, a trial will begin in the Senate of the United States to decide if the former President Donald J. Trump is guilty or not guilty of inciting an insurrection against the country he led for four years. It promises to be spellbinding. Millions will watch as the drama unfolds on national television, but if they would like an indication of what may transpire, they may avail themselves of volume 2 of Winston Churchill’s A History of the English-Speaking Peoples; and it would benefit Mr. Trump and his attorneys to do so.

There is over a decade of deep research on Tom Donohue and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce within this website. It was Donohue who originated the cabal assembly we define as “DeceptiCons”.

Immediately after they admitted the U.S. CoC worked with Big Labor and leftists to try and remove President Trump, Tom Donohue announces his departure from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

Republican Rep. Liz Cheney suggested Sunday that former President Donald Trump's tweets chastising Mike Pence during the January 6 riot ty the Capitol complex was, potentially, "a premeditated effort to provoke violence" during an appearance on "Fox News Sunday." "I think people all across Wyoming understand and recognize that our duty is to the Constitution," she said in response to being formally censured by the Wyoming Republican Party on February 6 over her vote to impeach the former president a second time.

CTH Admin Stella reminded me of an article written in May of 2013 when CTH was urgently, desperately, trying to awaken more people to see the natural conclusion to the events unfolding. Events we were directly challenging.At the time George Zimmerman was under attack; then came Ferguson (Wilson -vs- Mike Brown); then Baltimore (Freddie Gray -vs- Baltimore Six); but the natural alignment… the purpose of the events… was a leftist probe into weaponized narrative engineering in order to advance completely false and fabricated stories. The U.S. media were testing whether they could control the outlook of Americans.
The shift in attack direction from media at the time was alarming.
Former U.S. Secretary of State George P. Shultz, the Thomas W. and Susan B.

House Republican Conference Chair Liz Cheney said Sunday she will remain in office despite the Wyoming Republican Party’s call for her to resign over her vote to impeach former President Donald Trump. The state party’s central committee voted overwhelmingly Saturday to censure Ms. Cheney, the third-ranking House Republican who joined nine other House Republicans and all House Democrats in voting in favor of impeaching Mr. Trump in the Jan. 13 vote.

Donald Trump dusted off his old Gab account for a social media comeback in the wake of his purge by Silicon Valley tech giants.In his first post to the site since 8 January, Mr Trump uploaded his lawyer’s response to demands he testifies at his second impeachment hearing next week.Mr Trump had resorted to releasing statements from the Office of the Former President after he and his campaign presence was scrubbed from the internet by Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Reddit, Snapchat, Twitch, Shopify, Stripe, and YouTube, among others.
While his return to social media was just a repost of his lawyers’ letter, the phrasing carried the ex-president’s characteristic defiance.
An emotional President Biden fought back tears as he discussed his son Hunter’s new memoir — saying “My boy’s back.” “The honesty with which he stepped forward and talked about the problem.

Much of Seattle’s 2021 cruise season could be canceled after Canadian authorities on Thursday extended a pandemic-related ban on large cruise ships in Canadian waters through February 2022.
Passage through Canadian waters and to Canadian ports is key for the Seattle-based cruise business, which has been largely on hold since last spring due to U.S. and Canadian restrictions.

The Biden administration is ending asylum deals brokered under the Trump administration with three Central American countries just as the number of migrants arriving at the southern border is spiking.
“The United States has suspended and initiated the process to terminate the Asylum Cooperative Agreements with the Governments of El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras as the first concrete steps on the path to greater partnership and collaboration in the region laid out by President Biden,” Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced Saturday.
The agreements with El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras required many migrants who showed up at the U.S.–Mexico border to seek asylum in one of those countries first.
Iran’s top leader issued a “final” ultimatum to the US on Sunday, saying the only way Washington could return to the 2015 nuclear deal signed by the world powers is to lift all sanctions against the Islamic Republic. “Iran has fulfilled all its obligations under the deal, not the United States and the three European countries… If they want Iran to return to its commitments, the United States must in practice… lift all sanctions,” Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei said, according to Reuters, which cited Iran-state TV.(Snip) Former President Donald Trump reimposed harsh sanctions against Tehran after he withdrew from the accord in May 2018.

The Wyoming Republican Party voted overwhelmingly Saturday to censure U.S. Rep. Liz Cheney for voting to impeach President Donald Trump for his role in the January 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol. Only eight of the 74-member state GOP's central committee stood to oppose censure in a vote that didn't proceed to a formal count. The censure document accused Cheney of voting to impeach even though the U.S. House didn't offer Trump 'formal hearing or due process.'
One of the great things going for Democrats who want to silence their opponents is that they don’t have to fumpher around with the First Amendment’s prohibitions against censorship. Instead, corporate America, unconstrained by the First Amendment, will do the silencing for them. The latest example comes by way of Professor Gad Saad, a famed evolutionary behavior scientist and author (snip) So, what was this popular article written for a glossy publication that provides light-as-air, user-friendly insights into psychology issues? It was Saad’s description and analysis of an interchange he had with actor Seth Rogen on Twitter.
CNN quietly snuck out a report this week, without posting the story to their homepage and barely covering the news on air. It suggests despite the multitude of claims since January 6th, Capitol police officer Brian Sicknick was NOT killed by a blunt force trauma. Posted on Tuesday, CNN’s new story was not shared by any of their leading personalities, reporters, or anchors. The eighth paragraph of the story claims (emphasis added): According to one law enforcement official, medical examiners did not find signs that the officer sustained any blunt force trauma, so investigators believe that early reports that he was fatally struck by a fire extinguisher are not true.
Count me as one who believes that the impeachment trial against former President Trump is an unconstitutional bill of attainder against a private citizen. Still, the proceeding is going to play out and it appears that Trump’s attorneys are going to fight hard. One of their plans in a case charging President Trump with inciting violence is to play for the Senate all the footage of Democrats inciting violence in 2020.
The problem for the Democrats going into the trial is one of evidence. The evidence against Trump isn’t just slim, it’s non-existent.

It was slated to take effect by the State Department on Jan. 19, the day before President Joe Biden was inaugurated.The Houthi movement, which is officially called Ansarallah (or Ansar Allah, for “supporters of God”), brags a slogan which reads: “God is great, death to the U.S., death to Israel, curse the Jews, and victory for Islam.”
The lead attorney representing Dominion Voting Systems has come out swinging against OAN for airing Mike Lindell’s two-hour election fraud special — and claims that they “warned” the network not to air it.Lindell’s film titled “Absolute Proof,” aired on the network in the form of a paid advertisement, with a disclaimer that it was not an OAN report.The disclaimer said that Lindell “purchased the airtime for the broadcast of this program” and it “is not the product of OAN’s reporting.”
