Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) said that Democrats must focus on progressive priorities such as ending the filibuster and canceling student debt and that members of her party are "delusional" if they think they can win in 2022 without addressing these issues.The congresswoman claimed Friday in a Twitter thread that Democrats would have a poor showing in next year's midterm elections if they do not push progressive agenda items including student debt cancelations, ending the filibuster, passing the Build Back Better Act, allowing the child tax credit to expire and offering a path to citizenship.

Scott Hubbard and his 8-year-old Chihuahua mix Gracie have a Christmas tradition that’s sure to make you smile.The verified TikTok creator celebrated the start of the holiday season by turning Gracie into a festive present, which he documented this year for his 7.8 million followers.Using a sheet of wrapping paper, tape and a stick-on bow, Hubbard carefully wraps Gracie up in the Santa-patterned paper while she patiently waits. The red bow at the top of her head completes the look, and Gracie seems to be content with it.“Every year I wrap my dog up just to remind us both of the gift she is,” Hubbard told Fox News.
Desperate New York City restaurant owners have been forced to get creative to tackle the city's rodent infestation after rat sightings soared by 40percent in 2021 compared to 2019.Restauranteurs have blamed lack of regular trash collection and street-cleaning services during the pandemic era staff shortages for the increase in critters.The problem has become so bad that the savvy New York rats are spoiled for choice in scraps, so it takes a special kind of bait to lure them in - peanut butter Oreo cookies. 'Peanut butter Oreos are the best,' said Jim Webster, Rat Trap Distribution's director of operations, of his secret weapon.
Fox News host Judge Jeanine Pirro delivered viewers a spin on the Christmas classic, “A Christmas Carol,” by Charles Dickens on Saturday, replacing Ebenezer Scrooge and his mistakes with none other than Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi.‘The question for Ebenezer Scrooge, here our own Nancy Pelosi, is whether redemption is even available to her,” the Judge told viewers.The first ghost to visit Nancy Pelosi in Pirro’s version of the Christmas classic is the ghost of lawlessness in America.
The name Gary Sinise is synonymous with selfless service. And true to form, the Forrest Gump, Apollo 13, and CSI: NY star and his eponymous Foundation honored more than 750 families of fallen military service members this week with its annual Snowball Express event, connecting families with celebrities who showered them with uplifting messages and praise.The COVID-19 pandemic derailed the foundation’s usually ritual of flying the families to the Walt Disney World Resort, which had been custom since 2018. This year’s event (like last year’s, watch it here) was hosted online.
On its face, the claim by Vice President Kamala Harris that she and President Biden have never discussed whether he would seek re-election seems the kind of ridiculous lie that only a politician would tell. With Biden’s growing age and declining faculties, and their party’s troubled state, not to mention Harris’ staff problems and low standing with voters, it is impossible to believe the president and vice president have never talked about 2024. And given the stakes for the country, they would be guilty of negligence not to talk about the future. Surely it came up at some point?
Democrats, media pundits, and Hollywood stars threw tantrums on social media on Sunday after Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) told Fox News Sunday that he would not vote for President Joe Biden’s multi-trillion-dollar “Build Back Better” bill. Rolling Stone, for instance, published an article titled: “Joe Manchin Just Tore Out the Heart of Biden’s Agenda.” It went on to explain: “Build Back Better was the centerpiece of Biden’s domestic plans.” Now it is unlikely to pass the Senate.
MSNBC contributor Donny Deutsch predicted Friday on “Deadline” that former President Donald Trump would be indicted for “bank fraud, mail fraud, and insurance fraud.”Deutsch said, “I met with Michael Cohen a couple of weeks ago. He is doing well, out of house arrest, and he seems to think things are really moving along.”When asked what investigators Cohen is speaking with, Deutsch said, “Cy Vance’s people, both, both the attorney general and the district attorney. He has met over a dozen times.
More than three dozen American citizens and lawful residents, including an 11-month old boy, were rescued from Afghanistan through the help a civilian volunteer group.
The rescue of 39 on Friday, orchestrated by the Tampa-based Project DYNAMO, comes nearly four months after America's chaotic withdrawal from the Taliban-controlled nation in August, which left hundreds of Americans and allies behind. 'This is the first known major airlift rescue with American boots on the ground since the U.S. government abandoned the country of Afghanistan in August,'
19,000 see President Trump in Houston on December 18, 2021 — 20 see Joe Biden in Georgia in 2020. You really cannot trust a single thing the fake news mainstream media is reporting anymore.

The Democrats’ Court-Packing Threat-Today, we’re getting a real-time lesson in how Washington works. It’s an ongoing drama. We can all observe as the Democrats and their allies in the Main Stream Media seek to intimidate the Supreme Court, trying to scare it away from issuing conservative rulings. Democrats are saying, in effect, That’s a nice Supreme Court ya got there. Shame if anything were to happen to it. Needless to say, this is not how our system is supposed to work. According to our Constitution, the judicial branch—

The state Senate Republican Caucus confirmed his passing Saturday but did not say where he died.

Hillary Clinton was on television Sunday promoting her new political thriller State of Terror—which she admitted is based on her 2016 rival, former President Donald Trump. In her third interview this month, the former first lady accused Trump of 'masterminding' the January 6 Capitol riot and said he was a 'danger' to the country.
Her recent media blitz has fueled rumors that Clinton is testing the waters for her own re-election bid after repeatedly calling a potential Trump 2024 ticket a threat to democracy. This morning, CNN host Fareed Zakaria asked about claims her new novel is a 'thinly veiled attack on President Trump.'
Joe Biden has announced that the extension on not making student loan payments is ending in February. This is a pet issue for progressives who wanted Biden to forgive all student debt. They are not happy that he is not doing their bidding on this and MA Democrat Ayanna Pressley is even calling student debt “policy violence” whatever that means. There’s a new form of violence in Democrats’ vocabulary. Democratic Rep. Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts took to social media to push President Biden to universally cancel student debt for U.S. college students and graduates. Reporting on her own canvassing efforts, Pressley said allowing student debt to continue was a form
The California Department of Education is facing questions over why it is paying a six figure salary to an individual who has been tasked with overseeing “equity” initiatives in the state’s schools despite his residing in Philadelphia which is over 2,500 miles away.
According to a report by Politico, Daniel Lee, who is described as a “psychologist, life coach and self-help author,” was hired to serve as California’s first superintendent of equity, a capacity that he has served in since last summer where he pulls down a salary of “up to $179,832” despite a resume that “shows no prior experience in California or relationships with school districts in the state.”

New York state, hit hard in the earliest wave of the coronavirus pandemic, has now tallied a record number of COVID cases in a single day. The state reported Friday that over 21,000 people tested positive the previous day, the highest single-day total since testing was widespread.

In roughly three weeks, the New York state legislature will vote on Bill A416, which will give the New York governor (in this case, the power-mad Kathy Hochul), as well as the governor’s delegates (i.e., New York’s administrative state) the power to indefinitely detain anyone the governor or her agencies deem a “significant threat to public health.” (snip) the governor has the power to “order the removal and/or detention of such a person or of a group of such persons” with just a single order (reasonably specific) to detain people “in a medical facility or other appropriate facility or premises....”

The student newspaper at an Ohio college known for its left-leaning politics published a column addressing the number of white students attending campus concerts. “When there are so few resources for non-white students on campus, it can be upsetting when concerts headlined by artists of color are dominated by white students,” wrote Kayla Kim, a first-year student at Oberlin College. (Snip) The school had already taken steps to address police behavior at campus events, such as requiring a 30-minute behavioral training class and making students sign a form to acknowledge “different identities” before attending affairs monitored by “vibe watchers” looking
