Republican Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin denied on Monday that he made racist comments last week when he said he wasn't concerned about pro-Donald Trump insurrectionists at the U.S. Capitol in January - but would have been worried if they were Black Lives Matters protesters. The comments drew a firestorm of criticism from Democrats and others who said Johnson was making racist statements. But Johnson on Monday told Fox News that his remarks had been 'blown out of proportion' and denied there was racism involved.'I wasn't talking about the people that actually stormed the Capitol and assaulted police officers,' Johnson told Maria Bartiromo,

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki was repeatedly pressed multiple times during Monday’s press conference about President Joe Biden’s border crisis, including on why the administration is spending taxpayer money to put migrants in hotels while National Guard troops were forced to sleep in Washington, D.C., parking garages earlier this year.“One of the options that’s being reported over the weekend is spending $86 million on hotel rooms for some migrants and feeding them,” a reporter said. “How did you square that with the National Guard troops who were sleeping in parking garages,
Columnist and Never-Trumper turned Democrat Bill Kristol tweeted out on Monday that there is no crisis at the border, only an ongoing problem that is the fault of the Trump administration and not that of President Joe Biden.Kristol tweeted: “There is no crisis at the border. There is a recurring problem at the border, which is being addressed, and which could be considerably ameliorated by a sensible and humane overhaul of our immigration policies and practices, practices the Trump administration made worse.”Back in February of 2017, Kristol declared that Americans were disposable and proclaimed that population replacement would be advantageous for national power:
On Monday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “All In,” Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) stated that not passing gun control legislation unintentionally endorses mass shooters and “these minds that are starting to become unhinged imply that it’s okay.”Murphy said that the U.S. is a country with a high amount of guns and gun violence, and “we’re also a country that sends an unintended but meaningful message to mass shooters of endorsements. I mean, when Congress doesn’t do anything year after year, decade after decade in the wake of mass shooting after mass shooting, these minds that are starting to become unhinged imply that it’s okay.
President Joe Biden’s job approval rating has slipped three points since Friday as Democrats in the House continue to pursue a range of far-left policy proposals, including the Equality Act, H.R. 1, and mass amnesty. Monday’s Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll showed the 78-year-old commander-in-chief garnering a 49 percent approval rating and 49 percent disapproval rating. “The latest figures include 32% who Strongly Approve of the job Biden is doing and 42% who Strongly Disapprove. This gives him a Presidential Approval Index rating of -10,” Rasmussen reported. Monday’s figures represent a three-point drop,
Vice President Kamala Harris laughed on Monday when she was asked if she plans to visit the southern border amid the crisis that has unfolded under the Biden-Harris administration.“Do you plan to visit the border?” a reporter asked Harris.“Um, not today,” Harris laughed. “But, um, I have before and I’m sure I will again.”The question comes after multiple news reports broke earlier on Monday that contained leaked photographs from inside detention facilities on the southern border. The photos showed large numbers of migrants, mostly children and teenagers, packed into small spaces.
Karl Rove will hold a bigtime virtual fundraiser on March 31 for vocal Trump-hater Adam Kinzinger.Top GOP donors from Illinois are expected to attend this fundraiser.

If you’re white, you may at some point have “whitesplained.” But attendees of North Carolina State University aren’t likely to make your mistake — not, at least, after undergoing the school’s mandatory diversity training. As reported by Campus Reform, NCSU is mandating all its students take an online diversity course.According to the outlet’s reported access, “Diversity, Equity and Inclusion for Students” purports to provide “learners with the information and skills necessary to create a respectful and welcoming environment for everyone.”The training’s official webpage names some “key topics”:
Barron Trump rang in his 15th birthday over the weekend with social media tributes from his mother Melania and half-sister Tiffany, who shared a sweet throwback photo of them together. Since leaving the White House in January, the teen has been living with his parents at their Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, which is partly closed due to a COVID-19 outbreak last week. It's unclear how Melania, 50, and her husband, former President Donald Trump, 74, celebrated their son's big day, but she made sure to give him a shout-out on social media.
After Joe Biden was installed in the White House in January, he immediately began to lay waste to dozens of Trump-era policies that put America first.One of the effective policies he axed was Trump’s “remain in Mexico” policy, which required migrants seeking asylum in the U.S. to remain in Mexico while their asylum claims were processed. Now, just two months later, Biden is realizing how badly he screwed up.While quickly speaking to reporters on Sunday, Biden said he would “re-establish what existed before”, which was this exact “Remain In Mexico” policy that worked so well under Trump.
The liberal Chicago suburb of Evanston, Illinois, officially approved the first spending for “reparations” for black residents on Monday evening. It is the nation’s first reparations program, following an 8-1 vote by local aldermen in November 2019.As Breitbart News noted at the time, the City of Evanston planned to fund the reparations with a new 3% marijuana tax: Local leaders eye marijuana dispensaries as an attractive source of revenue to reverse what they call the ongoing impact of institutional racist and persisting effects of slavery, according to the Chicago Tribune. “The fund will be capped at $10 million,

No, I hadn't see this news item late last week, about George Bush suddenly not "owing" another president his "silence," in his string of lip-curdling insults directed at President Trump. Guess I don't view him as worth watching much. But sure enough, he had plenty of hateful things to say about President Trump for the left-wing media, and he's the smaller for it.
Here were his three worst whoppers, as cited by Business Insider:
In an interview with the Texas Tribune's Evan Smith, Bush described how watching the January 6 attack "really disturbed" him, both then and now.
Corporate media is lauding Leyna Bloom, the first black and Asian transgender to model in Sports Illustrated’s annual Swimsuit Issue.
“Leyna is legendary in the world of activism, strikingly gorgeous, and has an undeniable sense of self that shines through the minute she walks on set” MJ Day, editor at Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, wrote in an Instagram caption. “Her story represents one grounded in resilience and we couldn’t be more thrilled to help her tell it,” Day continued. “Her presence as the first trans woman of color to be in our issue is a result of her lifetime dedication to forging her own path
Wet A** P*ssy is “the defining song of 2020” according to so-called critics/journalists who make a living fawning over this crap. WAP debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 100. For weeks it squatted atop the charts like a sweaty naked fat woman on a toilet.
In “the raunchiest set the Grammy’s have ever seen” that annual television info-award-mercial featured a live performance of WAP. Incompetently acclaimed and shamelessly promoted by those same so-called critics/journalists, the spectacle held all the artistry of a Mexican border town donkey show.

A Department of Justice prosecutor believes that former President Donald Trump could be charged for his alleged role in the Capitol riots. The DOJ federal prosecutor, Michael Sherwin, made the bombshell assertion on 60 Minutes on Sunday.“Has the role of former President Trump been part of your investigation?” Pelley asked. (Tweet/Video) “It’s unequivocal that Trump was the magnet that brought the people to D.C. on the 6th,” replied Sherwin, making a spurious argument.So does that mean that Trump is “criminally culpable for everything that happened during the siege, during the breach?” Pelley asked.

Department of Homeland Security secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said Sunday the Biden administration would release video “footage” of the conditions of the inside of migrant detention facilities to assuage concerns amid its continued refusal to allow members of the press inside.
“Let’s not forget that we’re in the midst of a pandemic and we are focused on our operations, executing our operations in a crowded border patrol facility where hundreds of vulnerable migrant children are located,” Mayorkas said.
While the last election is still fresh in the minds of most Americans, the next one is going to become an issue a lot sooner than most people think.
Republicans are poised to retake the House due to redistricting alone. That and the historical fact that the first midterm for a newly minted president is almost always a bloodbath has Democrats dreading what looks to be coming. That’s why you see such a push to get rid of the filibuster now. Democrats know they are on borrowed time, and they want to push through what they can now.
There has been one thing that the left have been hoping will save them
WASHINGTON — President Biden’s economic advisers are preparing to recommend spending as much as $3 trillion on a sweeping set of efforts aimed at boosting the economy, reducing carbon emissions and narrowing economic inequality, beginning with a giant infrastructure plan that may be financed in part through tax increases on corporations and the rich.
After months of internal debate, Mr. Biden’s advisers are expected to present a proposal to the president this week that recommends carving his economic agenda into separate legislative pieces, rather than trying to push a mammoth package through Congress, according to people familiar with the plans and documents obtained by The New York Times.
Was This All God's Plan?

Let me be honest from the start of this. I’m not religious. I’m an agnostic. That is, I cannot say with any degree of certainty whether God exists or not. That would be any God, Christian, Muslim, or take your pick. My belief is much like a coin, flipped into the air to land, improbably, on edge and stand there. Perhaps wobbling and teetering a bit, but not ready to take that leap of faith one way or the other.
To me, it seems that deciding to believe that God’s there or not, has to be done without the benefit of convincing evidence for or against
