Kamala Harris said she doesn't think she was set up for failure despite a myriad of criticisms plaguing her office in year No. 1 as the first female and minority vice president in U.S. history.Some Democrats have excused Harris' shortcomings, claiming she was given too ambitious of responsibilities as vice president, including addressing the southern border crisis.'I've talked to some of your former Senate colleagues and they say you have been given an impossible portfolio,' CBS Face the Nation host Margaret Brennan prompted in a pre-taped interview that aired Sunday.

A severely injured seven-year-old little girl, who lost her nine-year-old sister in a devastating tornado in Missouri this month, squealed in delight as she received boxes of surprise Christmas gifts from Donald and Melania Trump to lift her spirits.Avalinn Rackley was videoed by her grandmother, Pam Moore, with two large boxes of presents just weeks after the child lost her older sister and best friend Annistyn in the storm that also critically injured her mother and destroyed her home in Caruthersville, Missouri on December 10.“These boxes came in the mail, and they are from… President Trump! Both of these boxes. Can you believe it?”
Jim Jordan, appearing on Fox News’s “Sunday Morning Futures” program, had some harsh words for the Brandon Administration, which he said has “done everything wrong.
Beginning his remarks, he warned that “Elizabeth Warren seems to be hinting at price controls.”And what does that mean for the average American? As he put it, “And we know what that will do. That will only exacerbate the problems we see out there.”That is, of course, the opposite of what the average American wants. As Jordan put it, “So, in simple words, I think the American people would like — they’d like safe streets, they’d like affordable gas, and they’d like freedom.”
Speaking to governor's today about Covid, President Joe Biden claimed that "there is no federal solution" to delivering more wide-spread testing. It was last year that Biden vowed to "shut down the virus." (Tweet) "We got to beat it back before we shut it down. Look, it's going to take time worldwide. In order to be COVID, we have to shut it down worldwide," he said as he announced new federal measures to beat back the scourge. "Look, there is no federal solution," Biden said in response to a question from Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson. "This gets solved at the state level." (Video) CORRECTION*

In her wide-ranging interview with CBS' "Face the Nation" host Margaret Brennan on Sunday, Vice President Kamala Harris said America would lose its "role model" status if Congress fails to pass voting rights legislation. With Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., essentially ending President Biden's chances to pass Build Back Better, the administration appears to be pivoting to other policy areas. Harris was tasked with spearheading voting rights over the summer. "In the days and weeks ahead, I will engage the American people, and I will work with voting rights organizations, community organizations, and the private sector
Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot was slammed on Twitter after she and her wife, Amy Eshleman, posted a video wishing a 'joyous Kwanzaa' to all who celebrate.'Joyous Kwanzaa, Chicago!' Lightfoot said in a video shared online. 'The seven principles of Kwanzaa guide us to unity and cooperation as we work to uplift and protect our neighbors.' 'As you light the candles and gather in unity, we hope your holiday is filled with rejoicing and happiness,' Eshleman echoed.The pair, who also used the holiday video as an opportunity to promote COVID-19 vaccinations, were criticized by Twitter users
Huma Abedin, the former longtime aide to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, said the “final straw” for her came when The Post published a photo on its front page of her husband, disgraced Congressman Anthony Weiner, sexting while lying in bed with their young son. “I did finally reach my breaking point, because that was the point where for so long, Dana, I was saying, I don’t understand. I don’t understand. Why can’t you just knock it off?,” she told host Dana Bash during an interview Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
The bodybuilding-crazed son of a family that helped shape New York City's skyline appeared stone-faced in his mugshot after he was arrested for allegedly shooting his parents at their sprawling $3.2million Long Island estate on Christmas morning. Construction magnate Rocco Tomassetti, 65, and wife Vinceta Marsicano-Tomassetti, were shot inside their 8,751-square foot mansion in Hewlett Harbor at around 10am. Their 29-year-old son Dino Tomassetti allegedly fled the scene in a Cadillac Escalade,
Kamala Harris gave an interview to Margaret Brennan on CBS News’ “Face the Nation” that finally ran today.We’ve touched on aspects of the interview already, including her saying that the “biggest national security challenge confronting the U.S.” was our democracy because of the fear of autocracies rising around the world. The irony of her saying that, being a part of one of the most autocratic administrations we’ve ever had, pushing all kinds of mandates on Americans.But Harris continued with the cluelessness when Brennan asked her what her “biggest failure has been at this point.”
Democrats and their creepy reverence for Dr. Anthony Fauci — who has become a quasi-religious figure to many — has created a cottage industry of products with the career bureaucrat’s likeness which have ended up under many a leftist Christmas tree, including a Texas lawmaker who took to Twitter to show off his prized gift.In a Christmas day tweet, James Talarico, a Lone Star State representative from Austin showed off a doll of the longtime head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, a man whose media stardom has been prolonged by the Omicron variant much to the joy of his cult-like army of loyal followers.
Congresswoman Debbie Dingell shared an expletive-laden death threat she got via voicemail recently, two years after Donald Trump slammed her for voting to impeach him and suggested that her late husband was 'looking up' at her from hell. Dingell, who represents Michigan's 12th Congressional District, shared the recent voicemail Sunday morning in an episode of CNN's State of the Union with Dana Bash to show that the bile continues to pour in. 'You godd*** old senile b****. You’re as old and ugly as Biden. You ought to get the f**** off the planet.
A seven year-old girl left badly injured because of a tornado that killed her nine year-old sibling couldn't contain her excitement after receiving boxes of Christmas gifts from Donald and Melania Trump. An enthusiastic Avalinn Rackley, 7, reacted to the news when filmed by her grandmother, Pam Moore, weeks after her older sister and best friend Annistyn was killed by a tornado that also destroyed the family home in Caruthersville, Missouri on December 10.'These boxes came in the mail, and they are from...President Trump! Both of these boxes. Can you believe it?' Moore says as Avalinn grins with expectation. 'Oh my God!' the brave little girl screams happily

Arm, Deletes Reviews Critical of Communist

In the latest example of corporate America kowtowing to the Communists in Beijing, internal memos and Amazon.com insiders have revealed the company’s continuing appeasement of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), including colluding with state propaganda operatives to delete reviews of books critical of the regime. Notably, as reported by Reuters, Amazon caved in like a cheap Mao suit to a CCP edict that it stop allowing negative customer ratings and reviews of the book “Xi Jinping: The Governance of China,” which contains many of Xi’s speeches and writings, as well as other state propaganda.It gets worse.Said a company insider, according to Reuters: “I think the issue was anything

Carlos Tejada, a New York Times Deputy Asia Editor, has died at the age of 49. He suffered a heart attack less than a day after posting to social media that he had received a Moderna booster vaccination.
Tejada, who worked in part on the paper’s COVID-19 coverage, was married with two children. He had worked at the Wall Street Journal prior to moving to the Times, where he worked for almost five years.
According to Tejada’s own Instagram page, he was grateful to receive the mRNA/LNP booster while in Seoul, South Korea.
President Joe Biden on Monday admitted that his administration has not done enough to ease the COVID testing demand, vowing to do better.
'That's not enough. Clearly not enough,' Biden said, adding: 'We have to do more. We have to do better. And we will.'
Biden told the governors - a mix of Republicans and Democrats - that there was 'no federal solution' to the Omicron variant causing cases to spike around the country, saying the solution was solidly on 'state level.'
A CNN panelist claimed that a father of four, who tagged a phone call with President Joe Biden with the phrase “Let’s Go, Brandon,” was not only being impolite but also harboring feelings “about insurrection.”
Ron Brownstein, a senior editor at The Atlantic, joined a CNN panel to discuss a phone call between Biden, First Lady Jill Biden, and an Oregon father Jared Schmeck who ended his live-streamed phone call with a less vulgar substitute for “f*** Joe Biden.”
The CNN host dubbed the interaction between Schmeck and the Bidens “disrespectful,” “juvenile” and “reprehensible.” He also asked Brownstein for his opinion on the matter.
The criminal insanity in LA continues, this time at a Rite-Aid. There, a woman wielding a pickaxe yelled at customers and robbed the store, using the mining tool as a weapon. Watch her here: [video]
As you can watch in the video, the deranged woman drags the basket full of goods she presumably intends to steal across the floor of the establishment, wielding the pickaxe as she does so.
Also, some of her comments are audible. For example, at one point she says “I’m not f*****g around,” to an employee who attempts to get her to stop as she grabs at the beauty projects she’s stealing,
Major General Hossein Salami, commander of Iran’s paramilitary Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC), on Sunday threatened Israel’s leaders he is ready to “cut off their hands” if they threaten attacks of any sort.
He spoke at the conclusion of an exercise code-named the Great Prophet 17 (Payambare Azam 17) in which Iran tested a slew of new missiles, the Tehran Times reports.Claiming the missile part of the drill is carrying “very clear and obvious messages,” General Salami said, “The message of this drill is a serious, real, and field warning to threats by the Zionist regime’s officials
An energy company is pulling the plug on a controversial plan to install natural gas turbines at a power plant in Gowanus, Brooklyn.
The proposal had come under criticism as a step backward while the state government attempts to phase out fossil fuels and switch to clean sources of energy. Eastern Generation said it was withdrawing its application to replace combustion turbines at the Gowanus site—considered to be among the dirtiest power plants in the city—with natural gas units.(Snip)“With the defeat of fossil-fuel power plant expansions in Gowanus and Astoria, New York City is on its way towards a more sustainable future,” he said.
The Texas vs. California Challenge
19 replies
Leaving California for Texas is such a conformist thing to do these days, but I did for a short vacation to America. In Houston, I went into an H.E.B. and was talking about California to someone who was giving away free samples of beef – having conversations with random people is a huge difference from LA – and I had to reassure the guy I was going home. He seemed relieved. I’ve been coming to Texas intermittently for about 30 years, and it’s never seemed more crowded. The place is packed – the roads, the stores, the airport. Back home in LA, it’s empty and depressing
What is "obscene" wealth?
19 replies
According to a friend at a Christmas party, “obscene” wealth is the kind that’s unneeded. His example was a 100-foot yacht. “Nobody needs a 100-foot yacht,” he intoned.
I agreed that nobody needs a 100-foot yacht. But nobody needs a glass of expensive chardonnay either. I kindly offered to relieve him of the one he was holding.
The only things that are truly needed by humans are food, shelter, simple clothing and occasional medical treatment. Everything beyond that is unneeded and, therefore, under my friend’s definition, obscene.
So “obscene” wealth must mean something other than the unneeded kind. But what?
For guidance in defining obscenity, let’s look at sex
A poll released Monday shows powerful Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell hemorrhaging GOP support, less than a year until the 2022 midterm elections.
McConnell came in dead last in Gallup's new survey ranking 11 federal officials by their job approval ratings. His 34 percent public approval is lower than that of President Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and even House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
But while the three top Democrats in government found majority support among their own party's voters, the Kentucky Republican is trailing in the GOP sphere.
Just 46 percent of McConnell's fellow Republicans approve of his job in the Senate, while a decisive 52-point majority disapprove.
Kamala Harris said in an interview aired Sunday that when she snapped during a talk with Charlamagne tha God, she was 'frustrated' over him questioning who the 'real president is.' 'People saw you, a flash of anger the other day, when you did that interview with Charlamagne,' CBS Face the Nation host Margaret Brennan said to the vice president before playing a clip from the interview. Harris laughed off the tense exchange earlier this month and told Brennan that she felt 'frustration' at that point in the interview with Charlamagne tha God.(Snip)'What gets you fired up?' she asked the VP. 'Injustice,' Harris replied.
