House Democrats late Friday night clinched a long-sought victory on President Biden’s domestic agenda, passing a $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill — while preparing to advance an even larger social spending package — after months of stubborn infighting that’s bedeviled the party and helped deflate Biden’s public standing.
The vote came after progressives caved on a key demand they’d maintained for months: their insistence that the climate and social spending package be passed on the same day as the more popular infrastructure proposal.
On Friday they shed that stipulation, threw their weight behind the public works bill — which had already passed the Senate
Republicans knocked Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm on Friday for laughing when asked about the 'Granholm plan to increase oil production' in response to rising gas prices. 'That is hilarious,' Granholm told Bloomberg's Tom Keene. 'Would that I had the magic wand on this.' Granholm went on to explain that the higher gas prices are thanks to OPEC. (Video)As you know, of course, oil is a global market,' she said. 'It is controlled by a cartel. That cartel is called OPEC, and they made a decision yesterday that they were not going to increase beyond what they were already planning.' Republicans have hammered President Joe Biden's administration
The nation argued for five years over the infamous Steele dossier, the document on which the FBI relied to investigate Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign. It should have been called the Clinton dossier. Special counsel John Durham this week obtained an indictment of Igor Danchenko, a Russian who provided information for the dossier. Danchenko is charged with lying to the FBI, but the bigger story of the indictment is Democrats’ central role in every aspect of the dossier and the FBI investigation.Never forget the original claim. According to the FBI, Democrats and the media, Trump harbored secret and nefarious ties with Russia. We knew that because —
An overwhelming majority of white women voters with no college degree helped propel Virginia governor-elect Glenn Youngkin to victory over Democrat Terry McAuliffe, and some in the liberal media claim that they know why.They're racists. 'As a student of American history and a person of color, I never underestimate the white, hot rage, anxiety, and resentment of a Karen scorned,' wrote Wajahat Ali for The Daily Beast in a piece titled, 'You Damn Karens Are Killing America.' 'When push comes to shove, many white women in this country have historically shoved people of color out of the way,' Ali claimed.
The lucrative $50,000-per-year journalist tax break that Democrats have tucked within President Biden’s multitrillion-dollar social welfare bill is estimated to cost taxpayers more than $1.6 billion over the next decade. A new analysis of the legislation by the Joint Committee on Taxation, a special congressional panel made up of 10 senior lawmakers from both chambers of Congress, found that taxpayers would be on the hook for more than $1.6 billion if the tax credit becomes law. The credit would allow “local news” outlets to receive a quarterly tax credit, “equal to 50%” of a journalist’s wages up to a cap of $12,500-per-quarter.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Friday escalated the tense standoff over President Biden's domestic agenda, daring liberals in her own caucus to oppose a bipartisan infrastructure bill that's languished in the House for months while negotiators haggled over a larger social spending package.
Progressives, behind Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.), have blocked the infrastructure proposal for fear that Senate centrists — Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) — would reject the bigger "family" benefits bill if the more popular public works bill had already reached Biden's desk.
In response, Pelosi has kept the infrastructure bill off the floor, even despite urging the liberals to reconsider their objections
Washington - President Joe Biden canceled a Friday night trip to Delaware for the weekend as he tried to resolve bickering between Democrats on a social spending plan, the White House said.
Biden was talking to Democratic leadership in the House of Representatives as well as progressive and moderate lawmakers in an effort to come to a solution, a White House official said. "And he has been urging a vote tonight," the official said.
On the Anniversary of the Fraudulent 2020 Election, President Trump gave remarks to the American Patriots who know the truth.

After months of trying, conservative Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene was given access last night to the jail housing up to 120 alleged Jan. 6 rioters and watched as they sang the national anthem, a nightly ritual.In a statement, Greene said that D.C. Corrections Department officials allowed her in to check on the conditions which some of the inmates complained about.She dubbed it the “Patriot Wing.” (Tweet) In a series of tweets, she showed the pretrial defendants dressed in orange while singing the anthem.“I just left the Patriot wing of the DC jail where I visited with pretrial J6 defendants in person. I asked questions and heard their stories.
Avondale, Ariz.—NASCAR denounced its association with the “Let's go, Brandon” political cry being used across the country as an insult directed at President Joe Biden. Steve Phelps, NASCAR's president, said Friday the top motorsports series in the United States does not want to be associated with politics “on the left or the right.”
Phelps also said NASCAR will pursue action against any illegal use of its trademarks on merchandise boasting the slogan. Retired baseball star Lenny Dykstra posted a photo on Twitter this week of a man eating breakfast at a New Jersey hotel wearing a black “Let's go, Brandon” shirt alongside NASCAR's trademarked color bars.
All right all right all right all right. Or all wrong if you’re Beto O’Rourke or Matthew McConaughey, both of whom come up short in the latest Texas Tribune poll for the Lone Star State. Contrary to other recent polling, Greg Abbott maintains a significant lead in a re-election gubernatorial bid, although not exactly commanding:
Gov. Greg Abbott has a comfortable lead over potential Democratic challenger Beto O’Rourke, according to a new poll from the University of Texas at Austin and The Texas Tribune.
The survey of registered voters found Abbott with a 9-percentage-point advantage over O’Rourke, 46% to 37%. Seven percent of respondents picked someone else in the hypothetical matchup,
Friday afternoon Project Veritas founder James O’Keefe announced that the homes of current and former Project Veritas journalists had been raided by FBI agents Thursday morning and that he had been served a Grand Jury subpoena with a cover letter requesting that he not make the existence of the subpoena known.
Appearing on video, O’Keefe said (in part):
It appears the Southern District of New York now has journalists in their sights for the supposed “crime” of doing their jobs lawfully and honestly. Or at least, this journalist.
I had to think long and hard before making this statement. It’s a decision that only I can make.
How much do Joe Biden and the Democrats care about the problems that Americans are facing with Biden inflation, in particular rising food and gas prices?
Biden previously said that he didn’t see any “near term” solution for the rising gas prices. He went overseas, begged Russia and Saudi Arabia to pump more saying it was “not right,” looking incredibly weak with such pleading. Meanwhile, he’s been lobbying against fossil fuels in America and doing in our energy production with moves like cutting the Keystone XL pipeline and the Willow Project for more drilling in Alaska.

A lawyer on Thursday confirmed that Washington-based communications executive Charles Dolan Jr. is the individual referred to as “PR Executive-1” in special counsel John Durham’s indictment against Russia analyst Igor Danchenko, which was unsealed earlier this week.
The grand jury indictment of Dachenko alleges that he lied when he told the FBI that he never communicated with a public relations executive who had been active in the Democratic Party about claims in a dossier issued by former UK spy Christopher Steele.
Although the public relations executive, or “PR Executive-1,” is never named in the indictment, Dolan’s lawyer Ralph Martin told The Epoch Times on Friday that his client is the person
As a former congressional staffer who has seen what happens to new movements when they come to Washington with little more than energy and talking points, I think it’s important for national conservatives to think carefully and concretely about policy. But more important than policy, especially in this moment, is understanding where policy comes from.
Conservatism is not a set of legislative goals like lowering taxes, school choice, or even border security. It’s a set of principles or goods – what Russell Kirk called “the permanent things,” like family, opportunity, order, faith, and freedom.
Colin Powell's widow Alma led mourners including Joe and Jill Biden, former presidents and the most prominent members of the political and military elite at his funeral on Friday following his death from COVID complications last month at age 84.Barack and Michelle Obama, George W. and Laura Bush and Hillary Clinton - without her husband Bill during his recovery from an infection - sat together in the front row for the Pentagon powerhouse's ceremony at the Washington National Cathedral.Former Vice President Dick Cheney, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Mark Milley, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, national security advisor Condoleeza Rice were also in attendance to pay tribute
America’s employers accelerated their hiring last month, adding a solid 531,000 jobs, the most since July and a sign that the recovery from the pandemic recession is overcoming a virus-induced slowdown. Friday’s report from the Labor Department also showed that the unemployment rate fell to 4.6% last month from 4.8% in September. That is a comparatively low level though still well above the pre-pandemic jobless rate of 3.5%. And the job gains in August and September weren’t as weak as initially reported: The government increased its estimate of hiring for those two months by a hefty combined 235,000 jobs. CORRECTION*
They’re doubling down on this fake narrative. It was totally predictable but it’s still amusing. Again, the liberal media being beclowning themselves when they lose elections, they think they’re entitled to win will never be boring—ever. The best part is you see them act as if they’re yards smarter than anyone else. CNN’s Don Lemon is like that when in fact he’s one of the biggest morons on the network. The GOP won, therefore, its white supremacy. It’s like clockwork—but someone decided to comb through precincts in Virginia, where Republicans had an especially good night, and jammed that fake white nationalist narrative through the woodchipper.

of boosting US oil production: 'That is hilarious' replies
Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm laughed off the notion of encouraging more domestic oil production to blunt high gasoline prices and said matters are exclusively in OPEC's hands.
"That is hilarious," Granholm responded while laughing to Bloomberg Surveillance host Tom Keene's question about the "Granholm plan" to increase oil production in America.
"Would that I had the magic wand on this," Granholm said. "As you know, of course, oil is a global market. It is controlled by a cartel. That cartel is called OPEC."
On Friday, conservative commentator Ben Shapiro stopped by ‘Fox & Friends’ to announce a massive lawsuit against Joe Biden’s tyrannical jab mandate. The new unconstitutional mandate goes into effect on January 4th, 2022. It requires all business of over 100 employees to require vaccination or proof of a negative covid test.Shapiro says the company will not comply.“What are you doing about this?” the Fox host asked Shapiro.“We are not going to comply with this mandate and we’ve already filed a federal lawsuit with the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals to stop this mandate.
Sometimes you want to hear from the strategists rather than the candidate. With all due respect to Governor-elect Glenn Youngkin — who, for a first-timer from the world of high finance, proved to be remarkably disciplined on the stump (few verbal missteps) and surprisingly motivational to Republicans (record turnout) — he's not all that interesting. What is interesting is how he won. How did his campaign win a state by two points one year after his party lost it by 10 points? How did his strategists view Fox News and Twitter, where a funhouse mirror version of the race often played out?

immense social spending bill amid resistance

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi moved to save face with a procedural vote on Democrats' reconciliation bill Friday after an effort to pass it stalled yet again when a small group of moderates demanded the House wait for scores from the Congressional Budget Office. But that plan, which includes a vote on the infrastructure bill as well, may also backfire on top Democrats due to progressive opposition to passing infrastructure without reconciliation. Pelosi, D-Calif., and other top Democrats Thursday night and Friday morning had projected confidence that the House would pass the bipartisan infrastructure bill and the reconciliation bill Friday.
The Democrats’ $1.75 trillion social spending bill would massively increase fines imposed on employers for occupational hazards. President Biden’s vaccine mandate will be enforced through such penalties.
Businesses with over 100 employees must ensure by Jan. 4 that their workers are either fully vaccinated or undergo weekly COVID-19 testing, according to the mandate, which was finalized Thursday. Fines, enforced through the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), could be as high as $14,000 per violation.
The protection that fully vaccinated Americans have against COVID-19 infection severely drops over time, a new study suggests. A team led by the Public Health Institute in Oakland, California, found that the overall effectiveness of the three Covid vaccines available in the U.S fell from 87 percent in March to 48 percent by September. Johnson & Johnson vaccine recipients are especially at risk with just 13 percent efficacy against contracting the virus.(Snip)Researchers, who published their findings on Thursday in the journal Science, gathered data from the Veterans Health Administration from February to October 2021.
In total, nearly 800,000 veterans' data was included in the massive study.
With the Biden administration facing a growing wave of lawsuits to stop the president’s vaccine mandate on companies, an Indiana businessman-turned-senator believes he has the quickest way to kill it.
Sen. Mike Braun, backed by most GOP senators, including Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, is hopeful of nixing the mandate through the arcane but effective Congressional Review Act. It would force a vote in both Houses just before Christmas and when 93,000 firms could be firing unvaccinated workers.
President Joe Biden defeated former President Donald Trump in 2020, but as he struggles through the first months of the job he cannot stop thinking of the former occupant of the Oval Office.“If that’s Trump, then tell him I’m busy,” Biden joked Wednesday, bringing up the former president after a reporter’s phone ringtone went off as he took questions at a press event.(Video) The moment was just one of many Biden mentions of the former president as he tries to seize the political spotlight from his predecessor.After meeting with world leaders about the Iran nuclear threat, Biden pointedly noted to reporters that Trump was to blame
Radical climate protesters blockaded Sen. Joe Manchin’s car on Thursday and then claimed he tried to run them over in the parking garage.
"Pass climate change bills!" screamed one of the activists.
"This is Joe Manchin's car slowly pressing into our people protesters," said another.
Several then began shouting "we want to live!" While others could be heard chanting "F*** Joe Manchin."
The former commissioner of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) believes the COVID-19 pandemic could end by the beginning of next year. In an appearance on CNBC's Squawk Box on Friday, Dr Scott Gottlieb said America is about to gain new tools to fight the disease in the form of antiviral pills from Pfizer Inc and Merck & Co. Gottlieb said recent Covid vaccine mandates implemented by President Joe Biden in workplaces may not even be necessary by the time they go into effect. Starting January 4, the mandate requires all companies with at least 100 employees to test weekly those who aren't fully vaccinated.
Back like 25 years ago, when President * was only 132 years old, The Simpsons was funny, and there was a great scene where Principal Skinner, confronted with the possibility that he screwed up, reassures himself that no, it’s the children who are wrong. In that analogy, the Democrats are Seymour Skinner (or Armin Tamzarian, if you are really into Simpsons deep cuts) and the voters are the kids.Glenn Youngkin greatly disappointed Terry McAuliffe and his North American Man-Boy Lincoln Project (I wish I originated that) pals by winning Virginia, the latter also because Glenn did not live up to his last name.
Leftists in Minneapolis are so unhappy with the results of their city’s democratic process that they want to burn down another police precinct.
“Do you want more burned precincts? Because this is how you get more burned precincts,” said Ian Coldwater, a widely followed, Twitter-verified, Minneapolis-based anarchist..

These are the two 16-year-old boys accused of murdering their high school's Spanish teacher in a park, then dumping her remains under a wheelbarrow. Willard Noble Chaiden Miller and Jeremy Everett Goodale have both been charged as adults for the first-degree murder of 66 year-old Nohema Graber, who was found dead in the sleepy Iowa town of Fairfield on November 3. Graber taught Spanish at the nearby Fairfield High School, which her alleged killers attended, although cops and prosecutors have yet to reveal a motive for her murder. A county prosecutor told DailyMail.com no further details about why Graber was killed would be shared, but
I woke up Wednesday morning so grateful that my state, Virginia, had voted out abortion extremism. Abortion activists were supposed to sweep Terry McAuliffe back to the governor's mansion. McAuliffe spent millions of dollars on ads blasting Glenn Youngkin for being pro-life and brought in outside speakers, including former President Obama, to campaign on the issue of abortion. Instead of keeping Virginia blue, these efforts may have propelled Youngkin to victory.
Pfizer Inc announced on Friday that its experimental pill to treat COVID-19 can cut rates of hospitalization and death by nearly 90 percent. The New York-based pharmaceutical company said it is no longer taking new patients in a clinical trial of the drug 'due to the overwhelming efficacy' and plans to submit data to U.S. regulators soon. 'We were hoping that we had something extraordinary, but it's rare that you see great drugs come through with almost 90 percent efficacy and 100 percent protection for death,' Dr Mikael Dolsten, Pfizer's chief scientific officer, said in an interview. This is the second pill to prove effective at treating the disease
The “penis doctor” community is playing hardball to promote vaccine awareness. Convincing the public to get the COVID vaccine has proven Sisyphean, but enterprising doctors may have formulated a foolproof reason why men should get the jab — so they can maintain their erections. Their potentially penis-propping PSA is currently going viral on YouTube. [snip] The clip then cuts to a panel of real-life doctors, who warn the nostalgic sex hounds that “men who have had COVID are six times more likely to develop erectile dysfunction.”
As the Delta variant became the dominant strain of coronavirus across the United States, all three COVID-19 vaccines available to Americans lost some of their protective power, with vaccine efficacy among a large group of veterans dropping between 35% and 85%, according to a new study.
Researchers who scoured the records of nearly 800,000 U.S. veterans found that in early March, just as the Delta variant was gaining a toehold across American communities, the three vaccines were roughly equal in their ability to prevent infections.
But over the next six months, that changed dramatically.
By the end of September, Moderna’s two-dose COVID-19 vaccine, measured as 89% effective in March, was
Special counsel John Durham’s indictment of Igor Danchenko, the principal source for the bogus Steele dossier used by the FBI as a basis for the Trump-Russia investigation, further illustrates that Durham has his sights set on the Clinton campaign.
Danchenko has been charged with five counts of lying to the FBI in interviews during 2017, as the bureau struggled in futility to verify outlandish allegations that Donald Trump and his campaign were clandestine agents of the Kremlin. Those allegations were compiled in the so-called Steele dossier, which the FBI relied on in obtaining surveillance warrants from a secret federal court. The dossier was generated by the Clinton campaign.
A throng of climate protesters swarmed Sen. Joe Manchin's car Thursday morning in an effort to confront him about his opposition to President Joe Biden's multi-trillion dollar social spending plan.
The environmental activists followed Manchin from his $700,000 houseboat on the Potomac River in Washington DC to a parking garage where he keeps his $80,000 Maserati Levante as they chanted 'pass climate change bills,' 'we want to live!' and 'fight for us!'
Video shared on social media shows the group in the garage surrounding the Maserati as Manchin honks his horn.
The origin of the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19 remains unclear, but recent revelations reinforce the likelihood that the true source was a lab leak from the Wuhan Institute of Virology. A letter from Lawrence Tabak, the National Institutes of Health’s principal deputy director, to Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.) confirms that the NIH funded research at the WIV during 2018-2019 that manipulated a bat coronavirus called WIV1. Researchers at the institute grafted spike proteins from other coronaviruses onto WIV1 to see if the modified virus was capable of binding in a mouse that possessed the ACE2 receptors found in humans—the same receptor to which
Congressional Democrats have released a third version of their big government socialist Build Back Better Act. Compared to the previous draft, the newest version adds another 450 pages, resulting in a 2,135-page plan for a reckless tax and spending spree.

Rep. Lauren Boebert, the Colorado Republican, took to Twitter on Thursday to apparently show her idea of the new fashion trend sweeping across Washington, D.C., after this week's elections. Boebert mocked Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s "Tax the Rich" dress that the New York Democrat wore to the Met Gala in September. Boebert’s dress read, "Let’s Go, Brandon," the phrase that has become something of a rallying cry for President Biden’s most fierce critics, which is code for a derogatory message to the president. "It’s not a phrase, it’s a movement," Boebert posted.
DENVER — Colorado Gov. Jared Polis, a wealthy tech entrepreneur worth hundreds of millions of dollars, paid little or no federal income taxes in the nine years before the Democrat was elected governor, by taking advantage of loopholes that aren't available to most taxpayers, according to a ProPublica report published Thursday. Polis paid nothing in federal income taxes from 2013 to 2015 and paid an effective rate of 8.2% from 2010 to 2018, substantially lower than the 19% paid by a taxpayer who made $45,000 in 2018, the report found. The bombshell report is the latest revelation based on thousands of

Reading the recent column by fellow Blue State Conservative contributor John Eidson got me to thinking about educational experiences of my own. It’s always a good column when it makes one think.
Reading it, there was a vivid memory of when I was working at a regional campus of The Ohio State University as an academic advisor.
I met with a just-admitted young black woman from Cleveland, OH. I was looking forward to meeting her after having reviewed her high school transcript. It was all A’s and B’s with other indicators of academic excellence. At least, that was what the transcript showed.

President Joe Biden says he’s been addressing supply chain problems “since Day One,” but that’s consisted mainly of appointing task forces and holding summits. His latest bold “action” was to beg G-20 leaders to “help address global supply chain issues.”
The one concrete step Biden has taken was, he said, to get the Los Angeles ports to stay open 24/7, which he announced on Oct. 13. Biden said this has the “potential to be a gamechanger.” A White House fact sheet declared that it “will speed up shipments of goods throughout the country.”
Except, that’s not what’s happened.
In fact, things have gotten worse at those ports, not better, since Biden’s “game changer.”

Shining further light on today's arrest of Igor Danchenko - the primary source for the debunked Steele dossier - is constitutional scholar Jonathan Turley, who calls it a "seismic development." (Tweets) More via Jonathanturley.org:The office of Special Counsel John Durham has confirmed that Igor Danchenko, a key source for British ex-spy Christopher Steele, has been arrested. This is the third arrest by Durham who is moving toward the prosecution stage of his investigation into the origins of the Russian collusion scandal. Durham is variously described as either painfully methodical or positively glacial as a prosecutor. But he is widely credited with being a dogged and absolutely apolitical prosecutor.
