Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has called Senator Joe Manchin 'patronizing' for referring to her as a 'young lady' as the two Democrats spar over his objections to the party's massive spending bill. Manchin appeared on CNN's State of the Union on Sunday to explain his concerns with President Joe Biden's $3.5 trillion plan for social and environmental spending, denying Ocasio-Cortez's allegation that he has 'weekly huddles' with Exxon executives.'I don't know that young lady that well, I really don't. I met her one time between sets here, but that's it. We've not had any conversations.

The Texas government is set to sign a contract with private firms to build hundreds of miles of wall along the state’s border with Mexico, continuing a federal project begun under former President Donald Trump.The plan is to build an additional 700 miles of wall, according to a post on the website of the Texas Facilities Commission.The agency announced that it had selected an engineering and design firm to oversee wall construction.“The Texas Facilities Commission, which oversees state contracts,
Despite Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) was a hard “no” on the proposed $3.5 trillion reconciliation bill on Sunday, his colleague, Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL), thinks Manchin will vote for the bill when it is at a much lower price tag.During an appearance on Fox Business Network on Monday, Tuberville told FBN’s Maria Bartiromo, based on his conversations with Manchin, that the West Virginia Democrat will come around to support the legislation pushed by his Democrat colleagues.“We’ve got 10 million jobs open, eight million people out of a job,” Tuberville said. “That doesn’t add up.
President Joe Biden has often shown pride in his Irish Catholic roots, but on another side of his ancestry, the progressive commander-in-chief's family lineage can be traced back to America's shameful past of slave ownership.Jesse Robinett, Biden's great-great-great grandfather, owned two enslaved people in Maryland in the 1800s, according to a Politico story adapted from a bombshell new book, The Bidens. Biden shares an apparent connection with Robinett through his full name - Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. Another ancestor of Biden's also reportedly owned a slave in Maryland - a 14-year-old boy.
On Monday, the Central Election Commission of the Russian Federation dismissed a complaint lodged by local pro-democracy activists concerning the government’s decision to censor a news story on corruption in the Putin clan just ahead of the 2018 presidential election in the autocratic nation.Published in the reformist newspaper Novaya Gazeta, the story had detailed how the Russian strongman’s daughter Katerina helped arrange meetings between a German appliances giant seeking market share in Russia and her father while he served as prime minister in 2011.
Rasmussen Reports, which has a reputation for being a highly accurate polling firm, took CNN to task over what it called a “deceptive” recent survey regarding what “most Republicans” think about a potential 2024 run by former President Donald Trump.The polling firm was responding to the findings contained in a story headlined, “Most Republicans want Trump as the GOP’s leader but are divided about whether he’d help them retake the White House,” which was published Sunday.“Republicans and Republican-leaning independents say, 63% to 37%, that Trump should be the leader of the Republican Party. But they are about evenly split over whether having the defeated former President back on the ticket
A supposed, leading voice of True-Con Inc.™ reveals how they betray themselves.Take all of the names out of the Never Trump camp, toss them in a black Stetson. Any and all familiar names qualify for this thought experiment — Bill Kristol, Jennifer Rubin, Max Boot, Nicolle Wallace, Matthew Dowd, and all the simpletons at The Lincoln Project or The Bulwark. There are plenty more, so keep chucking those names into all ten gallons of the Texan chapeau. Now, randomly pick out any one of them. You will end up with the same result.The characteristics of this cabal are matching both in design and in a lack of quality.
She made one of the biggest statements at the Met Gala with an avant-garde look from Balenciaga in which not an inch of her skin was shown.But Kim Kardashian has since been mocked on social media for looking like one of 'the foulest creatures that walk this earth.'The 40-year-old reality star was compared to a 'Dementor' from the Harry Potter series as many took to Twitter to post memes poking fun of her outfit at the gala event taking place at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City on Monday.
House Democrats unveiled proposals on Monday to pay for a $3.5 trillion spending plan, with tax increases that could mean the wealthiest New Yorkers and Californians face rates of about 60 percent.The plans represent a rollback of Donald Trump's tax cuts and include a three percent surtax on individuals who earn more than $5million as well as increases in capital gains tax and a corporate tax hike from 21 percent to 26.5 percent for the biggest companies. Critics said that was a higher rate than communist China - where the general corporate tax rate is 25 percent -

Protesters carrying “F* Biden” signs greeted Joe Biden at all of his stops in Idaho and California on Monday.More than 1,000 Trump supporters carrying “F*** Biden” signs lined up out outside of Long Beach City College where Biden is campaigning with Governor Gavin Newsom on the eve of the recall election.Biden’s motorcade was booed by a mob of angry patriots as he pulled into the venue.

President Biden’s 9/11 weekend was an unusual combination of awkward shout-outs, getting booed and heckled, and being hilariously trolled by pre-teen children in pro-Trump gear.While in Shanksville with Jill Biden to commemorate the heroism of Flight 93, Biden couldn’t resist a quick photo-op with the kids. (Tweet/Photo) “This is even more humiliating than him getting booed at the WTC memorial,” Human Events senior editor Jack Posobiec noted.There is a lot going on in this photo. These three heroes were in on the epic Trump ‘photo bomb.’
While speaking at an event at Smith College in Northampton, Massachusetts, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi said that America needs a “big, strong Republican Party.”“I say to my Republican friends, take back your party. The country needs a big, strong Republican Party. And I say that as a leader in the Democratic Party,” Pelosi said.Pelosi then went on to claim that the current Republican party is just an extreme right part full of “cult” personalities.“Don’t have it be a cult of personality on the extreme, extreme, extreme right,” she said. “This isn’t about liberal or conservative, it’s about radical…uh…shall we say,

Without immediate action to combat climate change, 216 million people could be forced to migrate to other parts of their country by 2050. A new report from the World Bank modeled the impact of rising sea levels, water scarcity and declining crop productivity on six regions, concluding that climate migration 'hotspots' will emerge as soon as 2030.The poorest parts of the world will be hit hardest, researchers said: Sub-Saharan Africa alone would account for 86 million of the internal migrants, with 19 million more in North Africa, the report showed,
I held off on writing about the “F*** Joe Biden” chants that began at college football games a couple of weeks ago. I had three reasons. First, I’m not a fan of obscenities because I think they cheapen speech. Second, these chants were initially small groups at Southern colleges, which really didn’t seem like a “thing.” Third, I wasn’t going to get excited until I learned whether the chants had legs. Well, it turns out they do have legs and they’re becoming large chants at multiple games (including New York baseball games). And most importantly, Joe Biden knows about them and isn’t happy.
I will never trust another doctor

It happened again yesterday, twice. Reading through comments on a blog post I found this: "I will never trust another doctor again." I long ago lost count of the number of times I have seen that written.
You hear it, too. In private conversations with people they trust, American citizens are heaping contempt on doctors for forcing a narrative on us that had no basis in science. Many of us, perhaps even the majority, immediately recognized this virus for what it is -- a common flu virus

Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer said on this week’s broadcast of “Fox News Sunday” that they did not hear President Donald Trump’s 2020 election case because it did not meet “normal criteria.”
Anchor Chris Wallace said, “One of your arguments against seeing the court’s political is the fact that it refused to even hear the appeals from the Trump campaign about the 2020 election. Didn’t even hear it them.”
In a video, former President Donald Trump said, “No judge has had the courage, including the Supreme Court — I am so disappointed in them...

CNN poll: America turns irate, glum

Americans are fuming and pessimistic at this time, that’s for sure. A new CNN poll finds that 74% of U.S. adults now say they are “very or somewhat angry” about the way things are going in the U.S. today—that includes 88% of Republicans, 70% of independents and even 67% of Democrats. But wait, there’s more. Another 69% of U.S. adults now say that things are going “pretty or very badly” in the country these days—that includes 91% of Republicans, 72% of independents and 49% of Democrats. And by the way, illegal immigration is still a concern for many in this nation. The CNN survey also found that 77%

The White House abruptly cut the feed of President Biden's briefing on wildfires with federal and state officials. During Monday's visit to Boise, Idaho, Biden received a briefing about the ongoing wildfires that have plagued several states out west.
While Biden spoke for much of the briefing, at one point he said he wanted to hear more from George Geissler of the National Association of State Foresters. "Can I ask you a question?" Biden asked.
"Of course," Geissler responded.
"One of the things that I've been working on with some others is —" Biden said before being cut off mid-sentence.

A group of very young Trump supporters hilariously trolled Joe Biden in Shanksville, PA over the weekend – much to the horror of Biden’s handlers.
NBC News reported that after attending a memorial event at ground zero, Biden visited the Flight 93 memorial in Shanksville. Apart from being part of the wreath-laying ceremony, the U.S. President also visited the local fire department.
It was there when a bunch of kids approached Biden and the U.S. President was pictured surrounded by them.
The Pentagon defended a deadly August drone strike in Kabul on Monday – despite a report that the attack actually killed an innocent man and his family.
The second of a pair of drone airstrikes in the waning days of the Afghanistan war is now being investigated by Central Command, but details are scarce and there remains a question of how much information will be shared once the probe is completed.
“I would say that the assessment by Central Command is ongoing and I’m not gonna get ahead of that,” Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby said during a news briefing on Monday.
A popular catch-phrase among pro-Trump patriots is: “Nothing can stop what is coming.”
This is based on the theory that there are things quietly going on behind the scenes, that President Trump still has a hand in what is happening today.
Perhaps he is laying a giant trap for Democrats and the deep state establishment. Or perhaps the military is in control under the theory of devolution.
Or perhaps, this is all delusional wishful thinking.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s outfit at the Met Gala came with a message. The New York congresswoman wore a white gown with the phrase “Tax the Rich” emblazoned in red on the back. The dress was designed by Aurora James, who created a pledge for large corporations to fill 15% of their shelves with products from Black-owned businesses. “When Aurora and I were first kind of partnered, we really started having a conversation about what it means to be working-class women of color at the Met, and we said we can’t just play along, but we need to break the fourth wall and challenge some of the institutions
