Former President Donald Trump is banking on a Washington Post interview with the chairman of the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol to back a key claim in his case before the Supreme Court.In an interview published last week, Rep. Bennie G. Thompson, Mississippi Democrat, told the Post that the committee’s findings into Mr. Trump’s inaction as a mob of his supporters stormed the Capitol could lead to a criminal referral to the Department of Justice. “That dereliction of duty causes us real concern,” Mr. Thompson told the Post. “And one of those concerns is that whether or not it was intentional, and whether or not

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez claimed Friday Republicans criticize her because of their “deranged sexual frustrations” and suggested Republicans seek “therapy.”The “squad” member was spotted dining outdoors in Miami Beach with her boyfriend as her home state sees record-breaking cases of the coronavirus.Columnist and former President Donald Trump adviser Steve Cortes poked fun at Ocasio-Cortez, claiming “if leftists like AOC actually thought mandates and masking worked, they wouldn’t be frolicking in free FL” and that her boyfriend’s feet were “gross” and “pale.”
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) faced backlash on Friday evening after falsely suggesting that Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) was missing when, in fact, he was still carrying out his job as governor and taking his wife, Casey DeSantis, to her cancer treatments.Ocasio-Cortez’s false remarks came in response to DeSantis’ campaign welcoming her to the state of Florida after news broke that she was hanging out in Miami Beach while the city she represents recorded a record number of new coronavirus cases.

Mayor Bill de Blasio plans on leaving Gracie Mansion true to form: late! Movers were at the mayor’s official residence on Friday to pack de Blasio’s stuff into a pair of vans, but City Hall said the perpetually tardy bureaucrat would remain there overnight, even though Mayor-elect Eric Adams succeeds him immediately after the stroke of midnight. With one of de Blasio’s two Park Slope houses rented out and the other undergoing extensive remodeling, sources said he would be relocating to the Marriott hotel in downtown Brooklyn. It’s unclear how long de Blasio plans to stay there. It was not clear who is paying for the hotel stay.

'I made clear to President Putin that if he makes any more moves, if he goes into Ukraine, we will have severe sanctions.

I want to add a few notes to my Christmas weekend column on the Census Bureau's July 2021 state population estimates and what stories they tell about growth and decline in the first 15 months of the coronavirus pandemic.THE IMMIGRATION BUST -The big news is about immigration. In the years from 2010 to 2019, the Census Bureau recorded an increase in "international migration" -- immigration, in layman's language -- of 873,000.For the 15 months from April 2020 to July 2021, the corresponding number is only 257,000 -- down 71% from the average of the years from 2010 to 2019. Presumably, that does not include most of the additional illegal

The Biden presidency is a disaster. But it takes a former president to truly reveal just how much a disaster it really is.That is what Donald Trump did on Thursday with a breathtaking list of failures of the Biden presidency… so far.

The doll's backstory, written in two short volumes by 'The Great Wall of Lucy Wu' author Wendy Shang, takes place in the exclusive Colorado ski town. There, Corinne Tan and her younger sister Gwynn - the toy company's first 'little sister' doll - ski and skate, adjust to their parents' recent divorce and move to a more posh part of town with their new stepdad.

Democrat Rep. Debbie Dingell grew emotional on Wednesday night over having to leave her hometown of Dearborn, Michigan in order to keep serving in Congress after redistricting swiped her seat ahead of the 2022 midterm elections.For the first time in history, Michigan's new map was drawn by an independent commission rather than political operators. That saw the state's number of House seats drop from 14 to 13, and is forcing Dingell out of the 12th Congressional District she took over from her husband, late longtime Rep. John Dingell.Members of her party are watching nervously as next year's races begin to take shape with 23 less Democrat incumbents --

Advocates for the transgender ideology are admitting they cannot persuade their own progressive allies, or even “persuadable” swing voters, to back their revolutionary goal of suppressing Americans’ recognition of sex differences.“Right now, our opposition wins the debate on trans youth in sports against any and all arguments we have tried for our side,” admits a “Messaging Guide” by the California-based Transgender Law Center.Overall, “we can at best elicit sympathy, a passive and often patronizing attitude that alienates our base [of current supporters] and fails to generate sustained interest from persuadable audiences” of swing voters, said the guide, which is titled “Transgender Youth and the Freedom to Be Ourselves.”
Mercedes-Benz’s latest hot car ad has caused Asian social media to blow up over ads featuring models sporting makeup that allegedly creates stereotypical “slanted eyes” which the Chinese find extremely offensive.The high-end German automaker removed the ad in deference to the Chinese from the social media network Weibo on Dec. 25 after a massive blowup over the “slanted eyes” issue.“Is there any beauty in this makeup?” one incensed critic wrote, according to the Global Times. “It is not [open for] interpretation. No Chinese will think this kind of ‘beauty’ is attractive,” another remarked.The Global Times, which is the Chinese Communist Party’s propaganda outlet, claimed on Tuesday that the hashtag
U.S. prosecutors decided to end their criminal case against two Manhattan jail guards who admitted to falsifying records on the night the financier Jeffrey Epstein killed himself on their watch. In a Thursday filing in Manhattan federal court, prosecutors asked a judge to dismiss claims against Tova Noel and Michael Thomas, after both complied with the six-month deferred prosecution agreements they agreed to in May. Epstein was found hanging in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center on Aug. 10, 2019, while awaiting trial for sex trafficking, in what New York City's medical examiner called a suicide.
Vice President Kamala Harris struggled to give a coherent answer when asked about the economy and inflation during a Sunday interview on CBS.
Harris appeared on "Face the Nation" when host Margaret Brennan asked her on the issues of inflation going into the "third year" of a pandemic. "Was it wrong to consider inflation transitory? These price spikes seem like they’re going to be with us for a while," Brennan asked.
The question referred to a previous statement pushed by White House press secretary Jen Psaki that insisted inflation was only "transitory" and should go down within the next year.
Since then economists have admitted inflation has only gotten worse
BERLIN — Germany on Friday is shutting down half of the six nuclear plants it still has in operation, a year before the country draws the final curtain on its decades-long use of atomic power. The decision to phase out nuclear power and shift from fossil fuels to renewable energy was first taken by the center-left government of Gerhard Schroeder in 2002. His successor, Angela Merkel, reversed her decision to extend the lifetime of Germany’s nuclear plants in the wake of the 2011 Fukushima disaster in Japan and set 2022 as the final deadline for shutting them down.
ABC’s “The View” is having a hard time finding a new conservative co-host. The ones who’ve auditioned either are liberals masquerading as conservatives on air, or have proven they’re too much smarter than the incumbent panelists. Five months after co-star Meghan McCain left the show, the hosts can’t experience the latter again.
“At the same time,” Politico Playbook reported Monday, the new host “can’t be seen as too chummy with the other co-hosts, as the network’s market-research shows that the audience wants to see the women spar.”

In the aftermath of Christmas, the season of giving, failed 2016 Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton apparently thinks it’s a good time to pass the hat for her now purportedly financially challenged, so-called nonprofit organization.
The response on social media was an emphatic no sale, however.
“If you’re able to give, I hope you’ll consider supporting the life-changing work of the [Clinton Foundation],” she wrote on Twitter in her fundraising pitch. In so doing, she retweeted a message from the foundation’s blue-check account that bragged about various virtue-signaling-sounding initiatives.
Critics have alleged that the foundation functioned as an influence pedaling, pay-for-play operation in which foreign entities made big contributions
An error-filled letter from a Virginia teachers union president calling for increased protections against the coronavirus was mocked relentlessly on Twitter after an appalled parent took a correction pen to the piece and posted the revised version online. 'Hey @VEA4Kids, are you going to send out more of these grammar worksheets over break?' parent Ellen Gallery wrote Thursday morning, in a post that featured the heavily marked-up document sent by Arlington Education Association President Ingrid Grant.'My kids and I had a great time spotting errors!
