The Biden administration is expected to drop the US's years-long opposition to a new natural gas pipeline between Russia and Germany as early as today, earning swift backlash from top Republicans.'This is a terrible mistake, it's a mistake that's opposed by both parties in Congress. It's just another example of the pathetic appeasement of Joe Biden for Vladimir Putin,' Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton said on Fox News Wednesday.On top of 'costing' American jobs, Cotton claims the move empowers Russia and 'badly undercuts our allies and partners in Eastern Europe like Poland and Ukraine,

political allies to plum diplomatic positions 2 replies
Joe Biden has nominated three of the wives of his political allies to plum diplomatic posts - putting his own spin on the tradition of giving the coveted positions to major donors.The ambassadors to Austria, Slovenia and the U.N.'s world food program are all wives of supporters.Biden is also reportedly considering Caroline Kennedy, the daughter of John F. Kennedy, for an ambassadorial role in Asia or Australia. She was ambassador to Japan during the Obama administration.

Instead of launching a committee for the purposes of political theater, U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) herself could shed a lot of light on what happened at the Capitol on January 6. Instead, the investigation will resemble âMSNBC with subpoena power.â That is how Tucker Carlson assessed the situation in another powerful editorial delivered on Wednesday evening on his eponymous Fox News show.
Pelosi could save the committee, if not the entire Congress and America itself, a lot of time by answering a few basic questions, Carlson said. These include the following: Why did the House sergeant-at-arms, a Pelosi subordinate, allegedly deny the Capitol police chiefâs repeated requests
Sometimes people just come out and say what we all know to be true, even if some still pretend otherwise. Nikki Fried, a Democratic politician who is running for Florida governor and hopes to challenge Republican Ron DeSantis, tweeted this on Thursday: âRon DeSantis has Fox News, but we have everyone else. Florida will be blue in 2022.â There it is. âWe have everyone else.â Hereâs a screen shot of the tweet in case it gets deleted. (Tweet) Now, we at the Media Research Centerâs NewsBusters have known this for a while, but itâs not often that a Democrat will just come out and say it:
Kamala Harris hosted DACA recipients and dreamers on Thursday following the Texas federal court decision ruling last week that the program protecting illegal immigrants was created unlawfully by former President Barack Obama.'I want to make clear to the dreamers that are here, and to those who are watching from home, this is your home, this is your home, and we see you and you are not alone,' Harris assured the group as she spoke to the press ahead of the meeting.The vice president assured those in the meeting that the Texas court ruling 'will not immediately impact current DACA recipients, also it will put hundreds of thousands of young
The Mississippi Attorney General on Thursday asked the Supreme Court to overturn Roe V. Wade.âThe conclusion that abortion is a constitutional right has no basis in text, structure, history, or traditionâ Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch told the Supreme Court justices.âThere are those who would like to believe that Roe v. Wade settled the issue of abortion once and for all,â Fitch said in a statement posted on her official website. âBut all it did was establish a special-rules regime for abortion jurisprudence that has left these cases out of step with other Court decisions
Former President Donald Trump chastised an Arizona Republican who said the chamber's controversial audit of the 2020 election in Maricopa County "makes us look like idiots." A message issued through Trump's Save America PAC on Thursday singled out state Sen. Paul Boyer, calling him a "RINO," which stands for Republican in Name Only, and offering praise to his primary challenger."Republican Arizona State Senator Paul Boyer, a RINO if there ever was one, is doing everything in his power to hold up the damning Forensic Audit of Maricopa County which has been taking place over the last 90 days. The people of Arizona are demanding it," Trump said.
A report published by Outside Interactive alleged that Americaâs historically racist policies have contributed to âthe nature gap,â resulting in black Americans having less enjoyment of the so-called âgreat outdoors.âErin Key, the reportâs author, is pushing for minorities to use their free time outdoors in nature through the use of grants and advocacy work. She does not, however, mention that there are no modern laws prohibiting non-whites from visiting public nature sites.âThough many donât like to speak about it, so many of our living relatives experienced racism when it was legal â
The launch of a new federal effort to combat gun violence across the country brought Attorney General Merrick Garland back to his native Chicago, where he called gun violence an ongoing tragedy Thursday and said, âI feel it particularly in my home town.âGarlandâs first official visit as attorney general to Chicago came in the wake of three mass shootings in a single day. One of them took place just down the street from St. Agatha Catholic Church, where Garland met with community members Thursday and talked briefly with reporters.Shortly before Garland arrived at the church, a police chase erupted outside.
Rev. Franklin Graham on Thursday praised Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) for remarks she made during an exclusive interview with Breitbart News, where she framed the culture war in the United States as a fight between Judeo-Christian values and Marxism. That, Graham said, is âabsolutely right.âGraham shared Breitbart Newsâs exclusive interview long-form video exclusive â part of the On The Hill series â on his Facebook page Thursday morning. âUS Senator Marsha Blackburn said that this isnât just a culture warâitâs a war between Judeo-Christian values and Marxism, which the Democratic party is pushing,â he began. âShe is absolutely right.ââI applaud her for calling it what it is and
America Needs a Grand Strategy

Americaâs basic strategic posture has not changed since it inherited Britainâs mantle of world leadership during World War II. Preserving national sovereignty and independence while simultaneously ensuring countries can freely navigate the worldâs oceans and airspace continue to be essential for the safety and prosperity of the United States. But threats are rising from all corners of the world. Now more than ever, America needs a robust foreign policy shaped by a grand strategy. Indeed, the free world needs America to have such.The rise of China, revanchist Russia, and militant Islam have convinced some that the world is far too complicated for traditional strategic thinking and that, by continuing its

Joe Biden overinflated the efficiency of vaccines, especially against the Delta variant, during his gaffe-filled town hall on Wednesday where he claimed the jab will prevent Americans from contracting coronavirus. 'We're not in the position where we think that any virus, including the Delta virus, which is much more transmissible and more deadly in terms of unvaccinated people, the â the various shots that people are getting now cover that,' Biden said during a CNN town hall in Cincinnati, Ohio on Wednesday.'You're OK,' he assured. 'You're not going to â you're not going to get COVID if you have these vaccinations.'This statement is false considering

President Joe Bidenâs administration is weighing the idea of more mask mandates for Americans during the coronavirus pandemic â even if they are vaccinated, according to a report published Wednesday.
Details of the masking discussions were reported by the Washington Post.
The White House is weighing these options as the âDelta variantâ of the virus is spreading, even among the vaccinated.
The report noted that federal health officials are considering whether they would update masking guidance, asking all Americans to wear masks indoors in public places.
The White House would likely face strong pushback from vaccinated Americans
Weâve all seen this before, as has every leader of every country in the world. A sitting President of the United States cannot put together a coherent answer to a simple question. (snip) Asked an unchallenging question of 12-year-olds and vaccination, he drifted off in the middle of a sentence, and, as he so often does, looked down, got that Deliverance banjo player look on his face, and appeared to be listening to something in his earpiece, and then strung together a sequence of words that were not grammatically related to the rest of the sentence, but which, on their own, were coherent.
The NFL has laid out its strongest incentive yet for players to get the vaccine.
According to a memo shared on Twitter by NFL Networkâs Tom Pelissero, the league has mandated that a game cannot be rescheduled due to a COVID-19 outbreak among unvaccinated players â and that team will be forced to forfeit, resulting âin a loss for playoff seeding.â (Snip) Additionally, if a game is canceled and cannot be rescheduled, neither teamâs players will be paid for the game.
Vaccinated players who test positive can return to the team immediately after two negative tests, while unvaccinated players will be required to isolate for 10 days, according to the memo.
A group of scientists discovered ancient viruses frozen in two ice samples taken from the Tibetan Plateau in China, and most of them are unlike anything ever seen before.
The findings, published Wednesday in the journal Microbiome, came from ice cores taken in 2015 that scientists said began to freeze at least 14,400 years ago. (Snip) When researchers analyzed the ice, they found genetic codes for 33 viruses. Of the 33, genetic codes for four of them showed they are part of virus families that typically infect bacteria. Up to 28 were novel, meaning they had never before been identified.

time because he isn't dressed 24 replies
President Joe Biden said he asks Secret Service agents to keep out of his bedroom at breakfast time because he hasn't dressed yet. Biden gave some insight into his morning routine at a CNN town hall on Wednesday. He said he liked to start his days wearing his robe and eating breakfast undisturbed by his protection detail. Secret Service agents usually stay close to the president as he moves around the White House, where he lives with his wife, Jill. Asked by CNN's Don Lemon what life behind the scenes was like at the White House, Biden said the Secret
Are all those media items featuring Joe Biden eating ice cream not a diversion from the serious issues of the day but rather a coded warning?
Consider this explanation from the Alzheimerâs Association Caregiver Tips & Tools:
"Ice cream. It takes all of your worries away. (snip) And dementia (here is the best part!) allows one to fully enjoy the treat, with no concerns for calories, weight gain or dietary needs, completely guilt free! For people with dementia, ice cream is far more effective and safe than Prozac, or any other âhappyâ drug on the market!"
The Biden Justice Department is deploying gun trafficking âstrike forcesâ to Washington and four other major cities this week, part of a push to contain a recent national surge in violent crime. Attorney General Merrick B. Garland will visit Chicago Thursday afternoon to launch the strike forces, which will also be set up in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Washington, D.C. The units will share information and coordinate the prosecution of gun crimes across multiple jurisdictions. They are part of President Bidenâs Violent Crime Reduction Initiative announced last month in response to an uptick in violent crimes across the country, particularly shootings and homicides.
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley refused to answer questions about âwhite rageâ during a Wednesday press conference.
Miley said he avoided discussing the topic because it is âvery complicated,â according to video of the press conference.
âI think itâs a very complicated topic and we donât have the time to go into the nuance of it right this minute,â Milley said. âI can do that later. Iâd be happy to do that later, but right now is not a good time to do that.â
Joe Biden told a business owner struggling to hire staff that he needs to pay better wages, as he seemed to concede that the pandemic increase in unemployment benefits was keeping people away from work.
The president spoke at a half-empty CNN town hall at Mount St. Joseph University in Cincinnati on Wednesday night. Flattering camera angles hid the small crowd from viewers at home, but reporters traveling with Biden tweeted pictures of rows of empty seats. At the event, Biden was asked by Ohio restaurant owner John Lanni how he planned to resolve the staffing crisis in his industry
Rep. Ilhan Omar is leading House lawmakers demanding the Biden administration create a special envoy to combat Islamophobia, citing a rise in anti-Muslim incidents across the globe. In a letter to Secretary of State Antony Blinken, the lawmakers said the U.S. must take the lead in combatting the phenomenon. âAs part of our commitment to international religious freedom and human rights, we must recognize Islamophobia as a pattern that is repeating in nearly every corner of the globe,â the lawmakers wrote. Ms. Omar, a Muslim and a member of the âSquadâ of young far-left Congress members, was joined by Jan Schakowsky, a Jewish Illinois Democrat, to spearhead
A federal judge blocked a West Virginia law banning transgender athletes from competing in girls sports, saying the legislation likely runs afoul of the Constitution. Judge Joseph R. Goodwin, a Clinton appointee, said if West Virginia wants to treat people differently, there must be a compelling reason to do so. âI have been provided with scant evidence that this law addresses any problem at all, let alone an important problem,â the judge wrote in a 15-page opinion. West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice, a Republican, signed the Save Womenâs Sports bill in April. The legislation requires the stateâs public schools to allow biological females only to compete in girls sports.
Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is allegedly considering naming Ohio Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger to her special committee to investigate the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
