for Ashli Babbitt’s family to mark her
would-be 36th birthday 3 replies
Former President Donald Trump recorded a personalized video message for the family of Ashli Babbitt to mark what would have been the deceased 14-year Air Force veteran’s 36th birthday.The family held an event over the weekend in Freeport, Texas, to commemorate Babbitt’s life, and after expressing his condolences Trump called for the Department of Justice to reopen its investigation into her death.“To Ashli’s family and friends, please know that her memory will live on in our hearts for all time,” the former president said in the video. “Ashli served our country in the United States Air Force for 14 years, where she was a security forces airman and
Jim Acosta is devastated because he thought that the rabid support for Donald J. Trump would dissipate after he was forced out of office by the Deep State.Jimmy couldn’t have been more wrong. Not only is Trump’s current approval rating far higher than Joe Biden’s, but the 45th President packs campaign-style rally’s with tens of thousands of people without even trying.Now, Acosta is referring to these persistent Trump supporters “twisted and evil”.“And these politicians have to ask themselves, why are you sharing the stage with that man?”
We’re sinking into debt at an unprecedented rate and many of our elected officials in Washington seem to think that this isn’t something to be worried about.Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul is, though, and he has some things to say about it. Not only that, he wants to point out to his colleagues and the American people what it is we’re spending huge chunks of cash on that help drive us further and further into the hole.“We’re rapidly approaching a milestone in our country, and it’s not a good one: $30 trillion in debt,” Paul said during a Senate floor speech.
Lego has vowed to remove gender stereotypes from its toys, after a survey revealed how boys fear they will be 'made fun of' if they play with toys marketed for girls.The famous Danish firm, the world's largest toymaker, says its products are primarily used by young boys.But it says it will now work to remove gender bias from its toys and push towards products aimed at both genders.Bosses of the plastic brick toy firm have heralded products like Lego Dots and Lego City Wildlife Rescue as the way forward.
A series of supply chain bottlenecks has created a monumental shortage of goods across America, with shelves in pharmacies, department stores, grocery stores and more sitting empty while cargo ships, freight trains and trucks struggle to distribute goods quickly enough to keep up with demand.The shortage is not down to a lack of goods - they have been produced. But backlogs at shipping yards and rail yards across the country, combined with a lack of workers means the items aren't being offloaded quickly enough and distributed across stores. Dozens of cargo ships are waiting to dock in California and further up the West Coast,
An unprecedented spike in shoplifting has emptied out the shelves of drug stores across New York City, the New York Post reported Saturday.“It looks like the Third World,” a Manhattan resident complained after inspecting the ravaged aisles of a local CVS, according to the New York Post. “They’ve all been stolen,” an employee of the CVS said of missing toothpaste, hand sanitizer and face wash, The Post reported. As of early September, 26,385 complaints of retail theft were filed, which is the highest number ever recorded. Compared to last year, 2021 witnessed a 32% surge in the number of complaints, according to The Post.Cases against serial shoplifters are rarely prosecuted,
Why Columbus Day is Worth Defending
6 replies
Among the federal holidays, Columbus Day has become one of the least honored, partially due to controversy about misdeeds associated with colonization. In fact, Columbus never set foot on or came close to any territory that later became part of the continental United States. The history of Christopher Columbus is actually less messy and more consequential than many of the other heroes of our national holidays. There is not only a great deal to celebrate in Columbus, but the man embodied a range of attributes that are necessary to solving many of our contemporary problems and even saving our country from further decline and collapse resulting from group think,
Only a fool pokes a mama bear, but that’s Merrick Garland for you. The attorney general thought to be such a moderate that 20 Republicans confirmed his nomination turns out to be a radical ideologue hellbent on targeting President Biden’s political foes. He is injecting himself into the front lines of every culture war, from pregnant “people” to school board meetings. But Garland’s ominous memo last week directing the FBI to investigate parents as domestic terror threats was a big mistake. He cited no evidence for what he claims is a “disturbing spike in harassment, intimidation, and threats of violence” against school boards.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., has served in Congress for nearly 34 years and presently presides in a top-tier position as one of the most powerful figures in the U.S. government. Amid a recent flurry of complicated decisions she's had to face as leader of her caucus, Fox News host Jesse Watters launched a "Watters' World" investigation into her financial dealings during her tenure in politics.Last week, the Speaker was unable to pass the bipartisan infrastructure bill as progressives in her own party signaled their disapproval. Watters condemned her policies, saying they're making it "harder and harder for average Americans to accumulate wealth," shackling them with taxes and
The recovered remains of a World War II pilot were buried in Maine on Saturday more than 70 years after his body was lost in the Adriatic Sea.Relatives from across the country gathered in Millinocket to honor the life of US Army Air Forces 2nd Lt. Ernest N. Vienneau, who was 25 when the B-17 bomber on which he served as co-pilot came under fire over present-day Slovenia on November 6, 1944. Vienneau was mortally wounded in the attack and he crashed his bomber into the ocean off the coast of Vis Island, Croatia.
California took another step toward its goal of ridding the state of all gas-powered engines thanks to a new bill signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom on Saturday. The new law will ban the sale of all off-road, gas-powered engines, including generators, lawn equipment, pressure washers, chainsaws, weed trimmers, and even golf carts. Under the new law , these machines must be zero-emissions, meaning they will have to be either battery-powered or plug-in, according to the Los Angeles Times .
CNN lies to the American people on a daily basis. When Trump was in office, spread fake news about him during every program. And even when they didn’t “lie”, they spun the story in their favor and committed key aspects in order to advance their narrative.However, taking a look inside and blaming themselves for their cratering trust with the public, they are blaming conservatives for spreading “disinformation” online that they hear from Fox News. Stelter continued by bemoaning how much trust Fox News has with it’s conservative viewers.
“Whenever anyone asks me about trust in media, I try to ask what do they mean by media?,” Stelter began.

Senate Republicans have shared they hope former President Donald Trump does not announce another run for the White House – especially before the 2022 midterms, a Sunday report reveals.Several GOP senators told The Hill that they don't want Trump at the helm of their party.'I think we're better off when he's not part of any story,' one Republican senator, who said his view is widely shared in the GOP conference, said.'He's a clinical narcissist,' the senator continued.

Anthony Fauci warned that vaccinated Americans to still wear a mask outdoors this winter and offered up hope that Covid-19 deaths will continue their downward trajectory in the next few months.

California will soon ban the sale of new gas-powered leaf blowers and lawn mowers after Governor Gavin Newsom signed off on the new law on Saturday. The move is aimed at curbing emissions from a category of small engines on pace to produce more pollution each year than passenger vehicles. The gas-powered equipment to be banned uses small off-road engines, a broad category that includes generators, lawn equipment, pressure washers, chainsaws, weed trimmers and even golf carts. Under the new law these machines must be zero-emissions, meaning they'll have to be battery-powered or plug-in.(Snip)'This is a pretty modest approach to trying
China is sending record numbers of military aircraft to threaten Taiwan, warning “war may be triggered at any time” and asking the island democracy’s allies if they want to “become cannon fodder.”Team Biden’s response: Happy talk of how China’s president-for-life promised a month ago to keep the peace and having the Pentagon shift from Trump-era “great power competition” to “strategic competition” that “does not, and should not, preclude working with China.”Ouch. Talk of “peace in our time” is exactly the wrong answer to China’s “We’re ready to rumble” message. Washington needs to act, and now, to get Beijing to back down.
We’ve been talking about how bad the polling has been for Joe Biden, even in deep-blue states like Minnesota.
How do you know when it’s getting really bad? When even CNN — usually all in to pimp for Biden — is acknowledging how underwater he is in job approval. He’s down even with Democrats, but what they say is really animating the poll is how much he has dropped with independents. As CNN’s John Berman and Harry Enten put it, the technical term is “not good.” He’s down 10 points among Democrats, 12 among Republicans, but among independents, he’s down 19 points.

Has the White House dumped Kamala?
34 replies
As Joe Biden's public approval tanks in the polls, his sidekick Kamala Harris is also looking pretty wretched. She underwent 'repackaging' from swamp consultants who specialize in "crisis messaging," to very miserable results as she posed for videos with kids, coming off phonier than ever.
And more important, she may have been frozen out of all serious decision-making as an obviously giggling lightweight.
There's this item, reported by Fox News: Several top members of the Biden administration were in Mexico City on Friday for a meeting with Mexican officials regarding security along the U.S.-Mexico border. But Vice President Kamala Harris wasn't among them.Harris, whom President Biden appointed in March
President Biden issued a proclamation this week to mark Indigenous Peoples’ Day — the first time a US president had commemorated the holiday.
“On Indigenous Peoples’ Day, our Nation celebrates the invaluable contributions and resilience of Indigenous peoples, recognizes their inherent sovereignty, and commits to honoring the Federal Government’s trust and treaty obligations to Tribal Nations,” Biden wrote in the proclamation made Friday. “Today, we recognize Indigenous peoples’ resilience and strength as well as the immeasurable positive impact that they have made on every aspect of American society.”
We have finally gotten a glimpse of the new YouTube series starring Kamala Harris, and it’s just as cringeworthy as you could imagine. In fact, it might be the most cringeworthy thing she’s ever done (and that’s saying a lot).Harris is famously disingenuous , and this video does nothing to help that reputation. In the clip below, you see Kamala awkwardly using some sort of “Narrators voice” as she’s talking to the kids about space exploration.“I just love the idea of exploring the unknown,” Harris says in an awkward tone of voice. “And then, there’s other things that we just haven’t figured out or discovered yet.
British Airways has instructed pilots and cabin crew not to refer to passengers as 'ladies and gentlemen' in an effort to celebrate 'diversity and inclusion'. Britain's flagship carrier has abandoned the greeting in favour of more gender-neutral terms, reportedly to respect wider social norms and make children feel included. Other major airlines, including Lufthansa, easyJet and Air Canada, have already adopted gender-neutral language.
A non-governmental organization (NGO) backed by former Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama, as well as first ladies Hillary Clinton, Laura Bush, and Michelle Obama, is working closely with President Joe Biden to resettle tens of thousands of Afghans across the United States.The NGO, called Welcome.US, was launched by former Clinton, Bush, and Obama staffers with the former presidents’ serving as honorary chairs and receiving backing from Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors which has ties to billionaire George Soros.Likewise, the NGO is working alongside multinational corporations like Airbnb, Walmart, Starbucks, Instacart, Facebook, Microsoft, and Chobani to provide newly arrived Afghans with financial assistance.
The U.S. has agreed to provide humanitarian aid to a desperately poor Afghanistan on the brink of an economic disaster, while refusing to give political recognition to the country's new Taliban rulers, the Taliban said Sunday. The statement came at the end of the first direct talks between the former foes since the chaotic withdrawal of U.S. troops at the end of August. There was no immediate comment from the U.S. on the weekend meeting. The Taliban said the talks held in Doha, Qatar, 'went well,' with Washington freeing up humanitarian aid to Afghanistan after agreeing not to link such assistance to formal recognition of the Taliban.
