Hillary Clinton is set to publish her first ever novel, and takes a veiled swipe at Donald Trump with the story about a 'dangerously out of control' US government in the midst of a terror attack.The former Secretary of State, 73, has co-written State of Terror with her friend, the Canadian author Louise Penny.The book, which will hit bookshelves in October, tells the story of a novice Secretary of State serving in the administration of her political rival as a 'series of terrorist attacks throws the global order into disarray.'
On Monday during a speech at the White House, President Joe Biden suffered from another brain freeze when he completely jumbled his speech.The comments were made at a ceremony for the 500,000 Americans who have died from Coronavirus, 100,000 of which have happened in the very little time Biden has been in office.Biden couldn’t even read what he was supposed to say from the teleprompter: “The only way to spare more pain and more loss, the only way— these millstones no longer mark our national mourning— these milestones, I should say, no longer,

Truck yeah!The US Postal Service on Tuesday unveiled a modern replacement for the iconic Grumman LLV mail truck that has been in use since the late 1980s.The new design consists of a waste-high front hood that resembles the front beak of a duck in front of an extra-high windshield.Oshkosh Defense has been contracted to build between 50,000 and 165,000 of the new trucks over the next 10 years — replacing vehicles that have been in service for as long as three decades, USPS said in a statement.Oshkosh’s design is not completely finalized,
A man purporting to be a U.S. history teacher noted in a now-deleted TikTok video several of his Gen Z didn’t know who Adolph Hitler was and believed that disabilities advocate Helen Keller was a “Nazi.”In addition, one student believed that “D-Day,” — the June 6, 1944, Allied invasion of Europe during World War II — was a rap artist.At the start of the video, the teacher asked his middle-school students if they knew of Keller (above, in 1905), who lost her sight and hearing after suffering an illness at the age of 19 months.“Helen Keller is the Nazi guy,” said one. “He’s like a terrorist.” (Tweet/Video)
The once-great Washington Post is now just another outlet of Newspeak.In an Orwellian twist, the Jeff Bezos-owned paper has morphed “kids in cages” into “migrant facility for children.”Throughout former President Donald Trump’s four years in the White House, the mainstream media, like the Post, repeatedly cited “kids in cages,” claiming foreigners entering the U.S. illegally had their children ruthlessly snatched from them and shoved into cages (it was actually former President Barack Obama who started the practice).But all that’s changed now. “First migrant facility for children opens under Biden,” said the Post headline on Monday.
“Our fellow citizens deserve better and expect more of us,” Justice Clarence Thomas declared Monday, when the Supreme Court decided — by one vote –to hear none of the 2020 election cases raising issues of voter fraud and illegal votes.Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett voted with the liberal justices to deny review of the lower court decisions.Four justices must vote to hear a case to put it on the Court’s docket, but only three justices — Thomas, fellow conservative Samuel Alito, and libertarian Neil Gorsuch — voted to take at least two of four
Tiger Woods was recovering from surgery at a Los Angeles hospital early Wednesday after surgeons placed a rod in his lower right leg and screws and pins in his foot and ankle.The legendary golfer suffered “significant orthopaedic injuries to his right lower extremity” following his devastating SUV crash outside Los Angeles earlier in the day, according to Harbor-UCLA Medical Center’s Chief Medical Officer Dr. Anish Mahajan.Woods, 45, sustained “open fractures affecting both the upper and lower portions of the tibia and fibula,” Mahajan said.Tiger Woods was recovering from surgery at a Los Angeles hospital early Wednesday after surgeons placed a rod in his lower right leg and screws and pins
On Tuesday, the Senate confirmed President Joe Biden’s nominee to be the next U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.As The Washington Post reports, “the upper chamber took an initial step, voting 78 to 20 to elevate Linda Thomas-Greenfield to ambassador status,” followed by “a second vote to make her ‘representative of the United States of America to the Sessions of the General Assembly of the United Nations'” by a vote of 78 to 21. (Video) Biden announced in November that he would elevate the position to Cabinet-level after the Trump administration had downgraded the role in 2018.
Former President Donald Trump predicted on Tuesday night that Tiger Woods will make a comeback following his devastating car wreck.Trump spoke to Fox News about the golf legend after Woods severely injured his legs during a high-speed roll-over crash in his SUV outside Los Angeles earlier on Tuesday. “He’s gonna be back, I have no doubt about it. He’s gonna be back,” Trump said in the interview. Trump has had a close relationship with Woods, golfing with the Masters champ several times during his presidency.
ATLANTA—The Georgia Senate on Tuesday pushed through the first batch of what could be a raft of restrictive voting measures Republican lawmakers say will safeguard voting but Democrats decry as based on a lie and aimed at overturning their party's recent electoral success in Georgia.The most important measure passed was Senate Bill 67, which carried on a largely party-line 35-18 vote. It would require that a voter include their driver’s license number, other state identification number or a photocopy of an approved ID when applying for an absentee ballot. That would replace the current process of signature verification, one of the key elements former President Donald Trump and others attacked

American Conservative Union chief Matt Schlapp held his own in a combative interview Monday with CNN’s Chris Cuomo, who said that former President Donald Trump’s claims of vote fraud and manipulation were unfounded while hinting he should not be given a platform to continue making them.To lead the segment, Cuomo noted that Trump will be a featured speaker at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference that is set to begin on Thursday, strongly suggesting that he should not be given a venue to speak.Schlapp responded by noting that Trump’s agenda and policies were “the most conservative” of any president in generations and that he kept his promises while in office.
Corporate America continues to threaten to pull campaign contributions from the 147 Republicans who voted to not certify the results of the 2020 presidential election, yet this has made no dent in Republicans’ fundraising strength as Democrats govern left at alarming speed.According to financial disclosures made public by the Federal Election Commission, the Republican National Committee raised $16.3 million in January compared to the Democratic National Committee’s $13.5 million. That’s about $3 million more.The Democratic Senatorial Committee raised $6 million while the National Republican Senatorial Committee raised $8.3 million in January, as previously reported by The Federalist. The National Republican Congressional Committee outpaced the Democratic

Dr. Anthony Fauci declared this week that people who are vaccinated against COVID-19 still shouldn’t dine indoors at restaurants or go to movie theaters “because of the safety of society,” even as the number of positive cases in the country continues to decline. “There are certain aspects of being vaccinated and what that means to you personally and your own personal safety and that of your family, versus what vaccines will allow you to do in society,” Dr. Fauci, head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said during a White House COVID-19 press briefing. “One relates to you, yourself,
Former President Obama burnished his “Renegades” credentials on Monday by telling Bruce Springsteen that he once broke a basketball teammate’s nose over a racial slur. The nation’s 44th president—now a “Renegades” podcast co-host on Spotify with the famous singer—earned kudos for his fists of fury. “Listen, when I was in school. I had a friend. We played basketball together,” Mr. Obama said Monday. “And one time we got into a fight and he called me a c—. … It’s one of those things where he might not even [have] known what a c— was.(Snip) And I remember, I popped him in the face

In a shocking development in the ongoing censorship debate, two influential Democrat members of the House of Representatives have taken the first steps to challenge the continued availability of conservative channels Newsmax, OANN, and Fox News on mainstream cable, satellite, and streaming television platforms. Multichannel News reported on the story yesterday in an article titled “House Dems Pressure Distributors to Justify Carrying Fox News, Others.”
California Democrats Reps. Anna Eshoo and Jerry McNerney have written to a dozen cable, satellite and streaming companies calling on them to better combat disinformation
For a couple of years, my wife and I escaped Obama’s America by owning a Pacific Ocean hotel in San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua. The irony was that in supposedly socialist Nicaragua, Daniel Ortega's government left us alone far more than government did in the supposedly free country of the United States of Obama.
Still, while Ortega 2.0 might have shed most of his socialism, he had not shed his lust for power, and the job of making sure he never lost again was that of the Chief Justice Roberto Rivas Reyes of what is in effect the Nicaraguan Supreme Court.

Governor Greg Abbott requested statewide designation for major disaster relief from President Biden. Biden denied the statewide designation and only approved some counties in Texas, not all of them. Abbott asked for a declaration that covered the entire state because the winter storm knocked out power and heat throughout the state, as well as leaving millions of Texans without water. Texas has 254 counties. Biden approved only 77 counties for disaster relief. The governor calls it an important first step but it falls far short of what Texas officials requested. Biden signed the declaration late Friday. It covers much of the Texas population.
A public school system in New York has introduced a new curriculum to teach that 'all white people play a part in perpetuating systemic racism', and show kindergarten classes videos of black children shot and killed by police, instructing them about the dangers of police brutality.
Buffalo's schools are expected to follow lesson plans devised by Fatima Morrell, the associate superintendent for Culturally and Linguistically Responsive Initiatives.
Morrell's lesson plans, obtained by City Journal, teach pupils and their teachers how to be, in her words, more 'woke.'

Joe and Jill Biden will travel to Houston, Texas on Friday, the White House announced, to visit the state as it recovers from a winter storm. 'The president will meet with local leaders to discuss the winter storm relief efforts, the progress toward recovery and the incredible resilience shown by the people of Houston and Texas,' White House press Jen Psaki said at her briefing on Tuesday.She also said Biden would visit a COVID health center during his trip to see vaccines being distributed.

WASHINGTON – The Equality Act is expected to advance in Congress this week. It's a controversial bill designed to overhaul the nation's civil rights laws to include LGBT Americans, but many worry it will trample on the rights of women and people of faith. Under the Equality Act, disagreement is considered discrimination. It includes gay marriage, biological males competing in women's sports, and doctors performing procedures--like gender reassignments--that go against their conscience.(Snip) Under the bill, Christian beliefs are unlawful. Churches could be prevented from requiring employees to abide by their biblical beliefs about marriage and differences between men and women.
