Senator Rick Scott is calling on Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo to testify before the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, according to a Thursday report.'There is more that the Department of Transportation can and should be doing to help address ongoing supply chain issues related to the pandemic,' Senator Cynthia Lummis told the Washington Examiner.'We're well over a year into this, and I'm concerned that the Biden administration seems more focused on pushing Congress to massively expand the federal bureaucracy rather than using their existing authorities to help American businesses and consumers get back to normal,'

Pete Buttigieg rebuked conservative criticism over taking parental leave in the midst of a supply chain crisis after adopting twin newborns, as the Transportation secretary claimed paid leave to take care of family is still 'work.'
He also admitted that the supply chain traffic jams and delays could last into next year.'As you might imagine, we're bottle-feeding, and doing it at all hours of the day and night,' Buttigieg explained to CNN's State of the Union on Sunday. 'And I'm not going to apologize to Tucker Carlson or anyone else for taking care of my premature newborn infant twins.'

The conversation happened during one of their early meetings, according to Midnight in Washington: How We Almost Lost Our Democracy and Still Could, Schiff's book released last week. (Video) "In one of our first meetings, I had warned him about how many good people the president had chewed up and spat out," the California Democrat wrote, Insider reported .
WEST COLUMBIA, S.C —Jill Biden on Sunday returned to the South Carolina Baptist church where she says she began to repair her relationship with God following her son's death from brain cancer six years ago.The first lady quietly flew to West Columbia for a surprise appearance at the 50th anniversary celebration for Pastor Charles B. Jackson Sr. of Brookland Baptist Church. But she ended up giving one of the most extensive explanations yet of how her faith wavered after Beau Biden's death and how she found her way back to God with help from her "prayer partner" — Robin Jackson, the pastor's wife.

That it took President Joe Biden being in office for 64 days before giving his first press briefing on March 25 turned out to be a sign of things to come for his administration, according to Amie Parnes' article for The Hill, "Biden giving stiff-arm to press interviews."As Parnes wrote, "President Biden has only given 10 one-on-one press interviews since taking office in January, a low number that is drawing more attention toward the White House’s efforts to control and manage the way Biden interacts with reporters.How bad is 10? It's pretty bad, especially in comparison. His predecessor, Donald Trump, did more than 50 interviews through the summer
Joe Biden commemorated police officers who had lost their lives in the line of duty in 2019 and 2020 in a speech at the Capitol building on Saturday. “There’s too much pain. There’s too much loss. There’s too much at stake for your safety and the safety of those you serve,” Biden said at the National Peace Officers’ annual memorial service.There’s also too much interference by politicians for the police to do an effective job. And there’s too little support by Democratic politicians of the police forces that keep their cities from blowing up.There’s a clear disconnect between what Biden was saying
By the time Biden Attorney General Merrick Garland realizes what an incredibly stupid memo he wrote to the president accusing parents of ‘”harassment and intimidation” of school board members, his boss will probably be a lame-duck president ready to be put out to pasture.Republicans couldn’t have drawn it up any better. What’s the best way to show how radical the Biden administration is? How about threatening parents with a federal investigation because they want a say in what their children are being taught?That parental pushback will take substantive form on October 17, when there will be a “Not a Domestic Terrorist” rally in front of
President Joe Biden’s own Department of Justice is turning on him after he made an eyebrow raising comment while speaking to a reporter at the White House.On Friday, the Department of Justice issued a statement opposing President Biden who had said that the Justice Department should prosecute Trump supporters who defy subpoenas.“Mr. President, what’s your message to people who defy Congressional subpoenas on the January 6 committee?” the reporter asked.Biden replied, “I hope that the committee goes after them and holds them accountable criminally.”
On Saturday night, CNN Newsroom weekend host Pamela Brown devoted a segment to promoting abortion as an important option for underage girls as she spoke with a young woman who had an abortion at age 17, and does not regret doing it. The pro-abortion activist even claimed that it "saved my life" by making it easier to go to college.The segment also suggested that it was unreasonable to require underage girls to get either the consent of their parents or of a judge before getting an abortion.
The viral ‘Let’s Go Brandon!’ mass take down of President Joe Biden has inspired a unique rap version that on Sunday perched squarely at the top of the iTunes hip-hop chart.Fox News reported the song, performed by rapper Loza Alexander and titled “Let’s Go Brandon,” first went viral on TikTok before quickly joining the iTunes hip-hop chart to clinch the number one spot.The piece was inspired by the “Let’s Go Brandon!” trend sweeping the country since NBC sports reporter Kelli Stavast interviewed NASCAR driver Brandon Brown
Gabby Petito’s parents said they were duped by a “quiet and polite” Brian Laundrie, thinking he would “take care of her” and keep her safe during the young couple’s trip out west.Instead, Laundrie is now on the run and sought for questioning in the 22-year-old slain Long Island native’s strangulation.“He just seemed like a nice guy,” Petito’s mother, Nichole Schmidt, told Australia’s “60 Minutes” in an interview posted online Sunday. “I worried. I told her to be careful, be safe. To be aware of your surroundings. Don’t trust anybody.”
When it comes to politics, nothing matters anymore. At least, that’s true as long as you are a Democrat, and Kamala Harris illustrated that perfectly yesterday with the release of a law-breaking video. In it, she clearly endorses Terry McAuliffe to be Virginia’s next governor, which is technically allowed for the vice president because she’s exempt from the Hatch Act. Yet, it’s where the video is going to be played that should lead to legal consequences.Of course, the keyword there is “should” because we all know nothing is going to happen here.

Nearly a year has passed since the 2020 election, yet there has not been a clear, satisfactory answer to the central mystery: How did a dull, declining Joe Biden manage to get more than 81 million votes and win the presidency? After all, Biden spent most of the pandemic-laced campaign in his Delaware basement and his appearances were marked by sparse crowds and signs he had lost more than a step. Yet he flipped five states Hillary Clinton lost in 2016, including Georgia and Arizona, and racked up 306 electoral votes to Donald Trump’s 232.
Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) on Friday condemned the process that led to the redistricting of his House seat ahead of the next election, calling it “anything but transparent.” “I have proudly served six terms in the U.S. House and it has been an honor to do so,” Kinzinger said. “Following the release of the new congressional maps for Illinois, my team and I will spend some time looking them over and reviewing all of the options, including those outside the House. This redistricting process has been anything but transparent, which comes as no surprise to anyone. I believe the people

Queen Elizabeth II, the world's longest-reigning living monarch, is a picture of good health even at 95 years of age. One of the reasons the monarch has aged so gracefully is that she follows the advice of her nutritionists and doctors, but she wasn't very happy when she was recently asked to drop her daily cocktail.

US Intelligence and US Military officials were left stunned.

Philadelphia became the first major city to ban police traffic stops of low-level motor vehicle offenses, a tactic which critics claim disproportionately affects black people.The Philadelphia City Council passed two Driving Equity bills on Thursday that Mayor James Kenney is is expected to sign into law this week. The law creates an open searchable database recording traffic stops and prohibits police officers from stopping drivers for minor offenses by reclassifying several offenses as secondary violations.Secondary violations citations are issued to drivers by mail,

Thing’ Because It Means ‘More People

White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Friday on CNN’s “The Lead” that rising prices were a “good thing” because it meant more people were buying goods.Anchor Jake Tapper said, “Inflation is skyrocketing as I don’t need to tell you. The prices for home heating costs, cars, groceries, furniture, rent, gasoline are hitting Americans right in the wallet. The White House response has been generally to say, ‘Hey, inflation shows we’re coming out of the recession. It’s a good sign.'”He continued, “President Biden’s chief of staff Ron Klain enthusiastically retreated an economist who said in part ‘Most of the economic problems, inflation, supply chains, et cetera, are high-class problems.’
President Joe Biden and his wife Jill enjoyed an Italian seafood dinner at a Michelin-starred Washington DC restaurant on Saturday evening. The Bidens dressed up for what the White House dubbed as a 'date night' at Fiola Mare in Washington Harbor.The couple looked loved up and held hands as they made their way into the restaurant, followed by secret service downed in black suits and black face masks.

President Joe Biden visited a daycare center in Connecticut on Friday, promoting his multitrillion-dollar spending bills that would make the federal government subsidize child and elder care.
The president argued that his “Build Back Better” bill was focused on human infrastructure to get the economy running again.
“How can we compete in a world if millions of American parents, especially moms, can’t be part of the work force?” Biden asked. “Because they can’t afford the cost of child care or elder care?”
Biden said the cost of childcare in America made it difficult for both parents to work.

By Thursday evening, the former president, 75, remained hospitalized for monitoring at the University of California Irvine Medical Center in Orange, California, according to spokesperson Angel Urena. (snip)According to Dr. Marc Siegel, professor of medicine at NYU Langone Health and a Fox News medical contributor, "Urinary infections are more common in men at older ages, sometimes involving prostate, sometimes not. They can spread rapidly because of a lot of blood flow to the bladder and kidneys and enter the blood stream causing urosepsis."
