Now that several states are rolling back COVID restrictions and mask orders by citing the distribution of the vaccines, the Biden regime is determined to hog the credit to itself.Rather than take the high road by giving former President Trump some credit for setting vaccine production in motion with Operation Warp Speed, Biden’s team is refusing to acknowledge the efforts of his predecessor who was faced with a once-in-a-lifetime pandemic. Earlier this week, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki oozed contempt for Trump during her daily presser when asked by a reporter whether the Biden should acknowledge the contributions of his predecessor.
While speaking with Author Mike McCormick, and National Pulse Editor-in-Chief Raheem Kassam on The War Room, host of the show Steve Bannon said it is time to get ready for the transition from President Joe Biden to Kamala Harris.Bannon pointed to Biden’s current well being, saying that his “eyes are now dead,” also noting that Harris has had a relatively large roll compared to previous vice presidents.That’s not the roll of the vice president.”“Kamala Harris is printed up in playbooks, always there for these meetings,” Bannon said as he explained how Harris is involved with a large amount of meetings. “Pence was never that.

pandemic, Dr. Marc Siegel says replies
A new possible medication to treat coronavirus-positive patients could be enough to turn the pandemic on its head, Fox News medical contributor Dr. Marc Siegel revealed Sunday on "Fox & Friends Weekend."
First-stage testing of the experimental COVID-19 pill called Molnupiravir, by Merck and Ridgeback Biotherapeutics, showed promising signs of effectiveness in reducing the virus in patients. (Snip) "The drug would function as an at-home, five-day treatment, similar to Tamiflu, to stop the virus from reproducing before causing major damage. Siegel said the therapeutic could come to market in as little as four to five months.
Rush Limbaugh is the undisputed greatest radio host of all time. Even his death certificate says so.
TMZ, which obtained the document, shows that the late radio talk show host’s occupation is listed on the certificate as “GREATEST RADIO HOST OF ALL TIME.” Rush Limbaugh died last month, roughly a year after announcing he had Stage 4 lung cancer. The day after Rush’s announcement, he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Trump during his State of the Union address. The Presidential Medal of Freedom is the highest honor that can be bestowed upon a civilian in the United States and was established
Wait until Michael Moore learns that Beto O’Rourke is an Irish-American guy with a Hispanic-sounding nickname. Would Moore mind if Beto got a COVID-19 vaccination? That is a question now because he doesn’t think that white Texans should be getting the vaccine. Apparently, Michael Moore is under the impression that all Texans are of one mind. The population of 30 million Texans, in Moore’s warped mind, is monolithic. He’s taking a beating on social media for a really idiotic tweet he launched after Governor Abbott lifted the face mask mandate in Texas. Moore was so triggered that he declared that the state should not even be receiving COVID vaccines

Chinese Communist Party. replies
Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser and her appointees have repeatedly met with and hosted leaders from a leading organization in the Chinese Communist Party’s United Front.
The United Front functions as China’s premier influence and propaganda organization, raising flags with the U.S. government’s Economic and Security Review Commission.
It seeks to “co-opt and neutralize sources of potential opposition to the policies and authority of its ruling Chinese Communist Party” and coerce American leaders “to take actions or adopt positions supportive of Beijing’s preferred policies.”What’s more, the State Department has described the group as seeking to “directly and malignly influence” U.S. state and local leaders.
MINNEAPOLIS — Late last year, a 14-page questionnaire began to arrive in mailboxes across Minneapolis and its suburbs. It asked if the recipient had watched the video of George Floyd dying under a police officer’s knee. What about the protests against police brutality, it wanted to know — did you go? How do you feel about Black Lives Matter? It asked respondents to list their education level, any martial arts training, even their favorite podcasts. And then there was the essay prompt, followed by a daunting expanse of blank paper: Tell us everything you have heard about the death of
President Biden on Sunday signed a sweeping executive order instructing federal agencies to advance Democrat Party objectives for U.S. elections, using the agencies to provide information about voter registration and vote-by-mail applications, including for federal prisoners.
The Biden administration asserted the federal government plays a primary role in providing education about voter registration and combating “misinformation.” His administration is devoted to promoting and defending “the right to vote for all Americans who are legally entitled to participate in elections,” he states in the order.
One of the main objectives listed in the executive action is providing prisoners with educational materials related to voting and facilitating voter registration for eligible prisoners...
A member of the far-right group Proud Boys was in contact with an associate of the Trump White House in the days leading up to the MAGA riot at the United States Capitol on January 6, it has been claimed. A law enforcement official said to be familiar with the details of the investigation told The New York Times that the contacts were uncovered thanks to cell phone records and location data.(Snip) One of the leaders of the Proud Boys, Enrique Tarrio, told the Times that he spoke to Roger Stone, a close associate of former President Donald Trump, while protesting
Among the beneficiaries of the $1.9 trillion stimulus bill passed Saturday was Planned Parenthood, despite the best efforts of Senate Republicans and pro-life groups. Senate Democrats beat back efforts to apply the Hyde Amendment to the legislation, meaning that the federal funding, notably $50 million allotted for grants and contracts under the Public Health Service Act, may be used to cover abortions in a break with last year’s novel coronavirus spending.(Snip) Mr. Biden has made it a priority to reverse the Trump administration’s abortion policies. He has already rescinded the Mexico City Policy preventing foreign-aid dollars from paying for overseas
LA County is considering returning a beachfront property to the descendants of its original owners who were the first Black landowners in Manhattan Beach, California. As KABC-TV reported, Willia and Charles Bruce's property was taken away when the city council used eminent domain in 1924. According to the outlet, the couple's property, which is now a lifeguard building, served as a beach resort for Black families at the time amid racial tension and discrimination. "The property that was once the Bruce's is now owned by the County, and I want LA County to be part of righting this wrong," Los
This past week while the nation was distracted by Joe Biden’s dementia-ridden incompetence and Andrew Cuomo’s predatory misogyny, The Satanic Temple of Texas filed suit to defend its religious right to engage in child sacrifice as a spiritual ritual. The Dallas Observer reports as follows.
“[On Feb. 23, 2021] The Satanic Temple [of Dallas, Fort Worth, and Houston] filed a lawsuit against the State of Texas alleging certain state-mandated abortion regulations violate the religious liberty of its members… [and] violate the temple’s religious teachings. The Satanic Temple… wants its followers to be exempt from such regulations. The temple has members across
A top Democratic lawmaker in New York has called on Governor Andrew Cuomo to resign after a fifth woman came forward to accuse him of sexual harassment.
The latest allegations prompted State Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins, a fellow Democrat, to demand the governor's resignation in a statement on Sunday. 'For the good of the state Governor Cuomo must resign,' said Stewart-Cousins, who has publicly sparred with Cuomo in the past. (Snip) In a call with reporters on Sunday, Cuomo vowed not to step down, and said that fresh allegations from accuser Karen Hinton were 'not true,' labeling Hinton a 'long-time political
During an appearance with Maria Bartiromo on FNC's "Sunday Morning Futures," Rep. Matt Gaetz said Democrats were doing their best to tarnish the image of freedom and the United States while praising "the Middle Kingdom" of China."They are trying to create a constructed threat to justify the continued occupation of our capital city, because, if you want to replace America, if you want to do away with America, you would want to reduce the beautiful splendor of our capital and our country and our republic," Gaetz said. "And that is the slow march to socialism and communism that this Democratic Party is taking us down."
Switzerland will follow France, Belgium and Austria after narrowly voting in a referendum to ban women from wearing the burqa or niqab in public spaces.
Just over 51% of Swiss voters cast their ballots in favour of the initiative to ban people from covering their face completely on the street, in shops and restaurants. Full facial veils will still be allowed to be worn inside places of prayer and for “native customs”, such as carnival.(Snip) Switzerland’s parliament and the seven-member executive council that constitutes the country’s federal government opposed the referendum proposal. They argued that full facial veils represented a “fringe phenomenon”,
"Cuomo's Gotta Go," said Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY) on Twitter on Tuesday. And he wants to be the guy to kick him out. Fielding a nursing home scandal had already weakened Gov. Andrew Cuomo politically, but with a new trio of sexual harassment accusations against him, Cuomo finds even his own party starting to turn against him.
Zeldin sees an opening and he is "actively exploring" a run against Gov. Cuomo in 2022. (Tweets)"After a lot of people reached out to me in recent days and weeks(Snip) I am now actively exploring a run for governor of New York against Andrew Cuomo is 2022,”
The Washington Post faced backlash on Saturday evening over a headline that praised President Joe Biden in response to the Senate passing Biden’s $1.9 trillion coronavirus stimulus package. The headline, which was later featured in a tweet, stated, “Biden stimulus showers money on Americans, sharply cutting poverty in defining move of presidency.”Reaction to the headline was overwhelmingly negative across the political spectrum with many calling it propaganda. Here are some of the newsworthy responses the the headline garnered:
Former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe joined Maria Bartiromo on Sunday Morning Futures this morning.During the interview, Bartiromo asked Ratcliffe if he thought the 2020 election was fair.Ratcliffe came clean. Maria Bartiromo: So there was cheating in 2020 then. Was 2020 fair?Former DNI John Ratcliffe: I think we implemented rules in the pandemic and what we saw even weeks before the election were voting procedures that were changed. And I don’t think that was fair and I think that contributed to the ability for fraud to be perpetuated in any number of ways. And the most important thing, Maria, when we talk about election integrity, is that
Most conservatives realize our cultural and educational institutions are in enemy hands. Public schools and universities fill our kids’ heads with radical anti-American nonsense. TV shows and movies shove woke ideology down the throats of ordinary Americans. It makes sense that conservatives would want to fight back against this.Yet some conservatives (and many liberals) make the bad-faith argument that resistance to wokeness is, in fact, “cancel culture.” In order to prove you love free speech, you must allow the Left to maintain its total domination of our culture-forming institutions.This argument was recently repeated by Acadia University lecturer Jeffrey Sachs for Arc Digital. Sachs details the many legislative proposals
State Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins on Sunday said that Gov. Andrew Cuomo “must resign,” as the number of sexual harassment accusers against him has grown to five — a sentiment State Assembly Majority Leader Carl Heastie appeared to echo.
In a brief statement issued shortly after a press briefing in which Cuomo vowed not to step down, Stewart-Cousins (D-Yonkers) cited not only the mushrooming sexual harassment scandal, but also other black eyes including a looming federal probe over the Cuomo administration’s accounting of the coronavirus death toll in nursing homes.

Texas state Rep. Bryan Slaton (R-Canton) introduced a bill proposing the border wall construction initiated under former President Donald Trump be completed by the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS).
Slaton said that the actions taken by President Joe Biden shouldn’t stop the construction of the wall along the U.S.-Mexico border in Texas.
“President Trump fought to bring real border security and was opposed by Republicans and Democrats in Congress. While hundreds of miles of new wall were built under his leadership, the Biden administration has already ceased border wall construction,” Snip)

The Biden administration is undertaking a “whole of government response” to investigate and respond to the cyberattacks against Microsoft’s Exchange Server, which the Big Tech company assessed are being carried out by a sophisticated Chinese state-backed hacker group.
Microsoft announced it detected “multiple zero-day exploits being used to attack on-premises versions of Microsoft Exchange Server in limited and targeted attacks” last week and said its Threat Intelligence Center attributed the cyber campaign with “high confidence” to a hacker group dubbed “Hafnium.” Microsoft said the hacker group was “state-sponsored” and operating out of China.
Over the weekend, the FBI said it is “aware of Microsoft’s emergency patch for previously unknown vulnerabilities
The life of new term "Blue Anon" in the online Urban Dictionary was short-lived. After emerging on social media and landing in a spot in the slang-term glossary on Saturday, it was quickly purged. A Google search brings up nothing on the term other than brand name ski gear.
Jack Posobiec pointed out the deletion from Urban Dictionary: "I have never even heard of a word being banned from Urban Dictionary before the banned Blue Anon." A search of the dictionary for the term comes up short.
Coca-Cola is bringing one of its family members to home base, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Minute Maid, the company’s flagship juice brand, will relocate to Atlanta. The operation leaves Texas and the Houston-area, where it’s been nearly 57 years.
120 employees based in Sugar Land, just southwest of Houston, have been working remotely the past year due to the pandemic. The AJC reports some of those workers may stay in the Houston area.
Those who choose to relocate will be “integrated into the company’s main headquarters complex near Georgia Tech,” the paper says.
You may remember Brendan Eich. He was the brilliant mind behind JavaScript who co-founded Mozilla, and then was forced out as an early victim of cancel culture over his religious views on traditional marriage.
Since then, the Mozilla Foundation has vanished into further obscurity. Hardly anyone uses Firefox. Thunderbird is a disaster.
But Eich rebounded with Brave, a privacy-oriented browser. That's not a unique idea, most alternative browsers to Google's Chrome and whatever Microsoft is calling its browser this week, claim to offer privacy.
But Brave recently had a gamechanger by way of integrating IFPS.
Old Communist genocide denier dogs can't be expected to learn new tricks. Here, courtesy of the Under Fire account is Noam Chomsky discussing "Black Lives Matter, Universalism, and Hopes for the Left" at the Einstein Forum. After mumbling his way through a condemnation of "wage slavery", Chomsky bizarrely claims that capitalism is worse than Stalin. "People have to rent themselves to a tyranny so that most of their waking lives, they're under totalitarian control of a kind that Stalin couldn't dream of. Like, Stalin couldn't say here's where you can go to the bathroom. Or here's where you can talk to a friend," Chomsky argues.
Russian intelligence officials are attempting to cast doubt on the Pfizer coronavirus vaccine, according to a new report from the Wall Street Journal.
Four publications acting as fronts for Russian intelligence are disseminating information that questions the efficacy and safety of the Pfizer vaccine, State Department officials told the Journal.
Russia is pedaling misleading information designed to make Americans question whether the US rushed the approval process for the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine. "We can say these outlets are directly linked to Russian intelligence services," an official at the State Department's Global Engagement Center told the newspaper. "They're all foreign-owned

According to a new book on the 2020 election, former President Barack Obama made some questionable comments during a 2019 meeting with elite black donors in New York City. The book, “Lucky: How Joe Biden Barely Won the Presidency,” written by The Hill’s Amie Parnes and NBC’s Jonathan Allen, describe questionable comments that the former president made about then-candidate Pete Buttigieg. During the meeting, Obama allegedly poked fun at Buttigieg’s height, age and sexuality for why he wouldn’t win the Democratic nomination.
President Joe Biden is pressuring the Democrat-controlled Congress to reimplement more federal oversight of elections in defiance of a 2013 Supreme Court ruling striking down provisions of the Voting Rights Act.“In 2013, the U.S. Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act, holding that times have changed and blatant voter discrimination was rare, contrary to the assault that was taking place on the ground,” Biden plans to say at the Martin & Coretta Scott King Unity Breakfast on Sunday, according to The Hill. “The late Justice [Ruth Bader] Ginsburg wrote that the decision was like ‘throwing away your umbrella in a rainstorm.’ Today, we have a hail storm, not a rainstorm,”
A man was fatally shot Saturday evening near E. 38th Street and Chicago Avenue, the Minneapolis intersection known as George Floyd Square, where Floyd died in police custody last May. According to police spokesman John Elder, police got a ShotSpotter notification about 5:45 p.m., and 911 callers reported that two people had been shot and were being brought to the barricades at the area's entrance. When officers arrived, the victim was already gone.(Snip) "Officers were met with some interference" when they arrived at the square to investigate, Elder said, without giving further details.

BERKELEY, Calif. -- The East Bay home where Vice President Kamala Harris grew up may become a historic landmark. Berkeley leaders will consider a resolution on Tuesday that would allow for homes of historic residents to be given landmark status. Harris was born in Oakland and spent most of her childhood in Berkeley. She attended Berkeley's African American cultural center almost every week and she was part of the city's first voluntary school integration program. "Her election as the first woman, African-American and South Asian American to be elected to the second highest position in the country are historic achievements that
The genius of the Left's success in achieving their favored policy positions is found in their favorite tactic: first, posit a counter-factual and, second, act on it as if it were true -- with maximum governmental force.
Examples abound: that men can transform themselves into biological women by simply wishing it to happen, and then can be protected -- nay, favored -- by a raft of new laws designed for their "protection." That the real women are offtimes physically damaged by this malignant fantasy matters not one bit. After all, "rights" are more important that reality.
CARMEL, Ind. – Two sharp-eyed young sisters were hailed as change agents and champions of equality by the Carmel City Council Monday.

My husband and I have been Amazon users for about 15 years. (Snip) We became Prime members in July 2017 and delighted in two- and even one-day shipping of everything from diapers to canned goods to dry erase markers to work boots, eliminating the annoyance of running to the store over one or two items. It seemed fun, easy, and exciting.
And then it wasn’t fun, easy, and exciting any more, because Amazon became evil—and I learned how evil they had really been all along. Using it to indulge my own greed and materialism was one problem. Amazon’s use of its market power is another. Both are a big deal.
In ancient Greece, they warned that excessive pride and arrogance will without fail lead to punishment. In ancient Rome, slaves rode behind conquerors whispering in their ears “memento mori” -- you are mortal -- meaning that both fame and you die. (Snip) Just consider the rise and fall of New York Governor Andrew Cuomo. In this case we can see why he rose to such fame. Why he’s being attacked right now has several explanations. As I detail, I think it’s because others with the same greed for power and fame in his own ranks are vying for the same unearned glory he once held.
Even ten minutes reading from a teleprompter on a Saturday afternoon was too much for the 45th President of the United States.

Sen. Steve Daines (R-MT), chair of the Senate Pro-Life Caucus, rebuked Democrats Saturday after they voted to pass President Joe Biden’s COVID relief bill allowing billions of American taxpayer dollars to be used to fund abortion on demand. The bill allocates $400 billion which can be used to fund elective abortions.(Tweets) While Daines worked to insert the longstanding Hyde Amendment into the measure, Senate Democrats blocked this provision that has been attached to spending bills for decades and bars taxpayer funds from being used to pay for abortions.

Two more women came forward Saturday to accuse Gov. Cuomo of sexually harassing behavior, including a former press aide who describes struggling to free herself from his repeated hugs, and a young assistant who now says he left her feeling like “just a skirt.” Former press aide Karen Hinton endured a “very long, too long, too tight, too intimate” embrace from Cuomo in a dimly lit Los Angeles hotel room in December 2000, she told the Washington Post. The married Hinton pulled away, but “he pulls me back for another intimate embrace,” she told the paper. “I thought at that moment it could lead to a kiss, it could lead

Earlier today, the Democrats in the Senate passed their COVID “relief” bill along a party-line vote. Not even Lisa Murkowski or Mitt Romney saw fit to break ranks this time because that’s how bad this piece of legislation is. In fact, only 9% of the bill goes to direct assistance for those who have suffered at the hands of government lockdowns. The rest goes to a smattering of special interests and payoffs, from the National Endowment of the Arts to bailing out blue states that were in dire financial straits long before the pandemic hit. For some reason, all this led to Joe Biden’s handlers
The last of the Capitol rioters had barely vacated the premises when Nancy Pelosi’s allies began slandering their Republican colleagues claiming that Republican members of Congress had taken an active role in permitting the demonstrators…indeed, if they were BLM demonstrators, we would be calling them “peaceful”…to enter the Capitol. Baseless allegations were made that some Republican members of Congress allowed rioters to enter the Capitol by having them issued visitor’s passes. This is Nancy Pelosi:

Senate Democrats blocked an amendment by Republicans on Saturday that would have stopped taxpayer-funded stimulus checks from going to illegal aliens and incarcerated criminals.Republican Sens. Tom Cotton (AR), Ted Cruz (TX), and Bill Cassidy (LA) offered an amendment on the Senate floor to block prisoners from being able to receive stimulus checks, which was blocked in a 49-50 vote.“The bill includes $1400 stimulus checks for individuals who make less than $75,000,” Fox News reported. “Inmates are included among those who receive stimulus checks, just as they were in both of the previous Covid relief bills that offered $1,200 and $600 checks.”
