We're Back to This Silly Game Dems Always
Play When They're About to Get Wrecked
on Election Day

The NFL playoffs are upon us but there’s another postseason that’s coming too on the Hill. Who’s the biggest moron in the Democratic Party. There are loads of them. It’s almost like World Series of Poker. Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) is a perpetual finalist in this contest. At the same time, he’s from a D-plus 700 district which means he can do and say anything. He can be a total idiot on television and screw around with Chinese spies—allegedly. We’re back to this doomsday game again. Not with COVID—but the whole ‘if the GOP wins, it’s the end of the country’ nonsense that comes and goes with metronomic regularity

After Joe Biden was elected president, I had a conversation with a Wall Street banker friend who is deeply involved in Democratic politics. He could see I was worried. He knew my views about Trump: didn’t like his tone, his Twitter noise and the antics of Jan. 6. I thought his trade policies were often self-defeating, but generally I liked what he did with the economy. The policies actually worked: With tax cuts and deregulation, wages rose for the working class for the first time in years. Pre-pandemic, there was non-inflationary growth.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis expressed optimism Friday regarding his wife’s battle with cancer, stating he is hopeful first lady Casey DeSantis will be cancer-free in 2022.“We’re not out of the woods… She’s a public figure, a lot of people care about her, and a lot of people have been praying for her, and that makes a huge difference to us, and we really appreciate it,” Desantis explained during a press conference in Lake Butler, documented by the Hill. “At the same time, you know it’s a medical issue for the family, which, it’s generally a private thing,” the governor continued. “So we felt it was important to
After closing for six months during the pandemic and laying off or furloughing 60 percent of its staff, the cash-starved 9/11 Memorial and Museum gave $1,000 bonuses to each of its 12 highest paid execs, The Post has learned.The bonus brought the total compensation in 2020 for CEO Alice Greenwald, who recently announced she is stepping down, to $564,500, according to the organization’s latest IRS filing.(Snip) The salaries anger an advocacy group, 9/11 Parents & Families of Firefighters and World Trade Center Victims, which wants the National Park Service to run the site.“This is a cash cow for the executives running the museum. Their salaries are exorbitant,”
The husband of slain Capitol rioter Ashli Babbitt insists she would still be alive today if he had attended the January 6 rally with her. Ashli, 36, was fatally shot by Capitol police officer Michael Byrd during the Capitol riot as she tried to climb through a broken window into the Speaker's Lobby outside the House chamber while cloaked in a Trump flag. Ashli's husband, Aaron, told TMZ that he believes his wife wouldn't have even stepped foot inside the Capitol building during the riot a year ago if he had flown to DC with her.
Former President Donald Trump's niece Mary Trump - one of the few members of the Trump extended family to oppose his re-election - has purchased a $7million apartment in New York City. Mary Trump, 56 - who sold nearly a million copies in preorders of her 2020 memoir Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World's Most Dangerous Man - will own the pricey unit at a luxury building in Manhattan's Soho neighborhood. The unit is located at 565 Broome Street and designed by Pritzker Prize-winning Italian architect Renzo Piano.
Big Tech Needs to Be Broken Up

The First Amendment is the heart and soul of our constitutional rights as Americans—and it belongs to everyone, regardless of background or opinion. Unfortunately, a concept so basic as the right to speak your mind is now under siege. Big Tech monopolies like Twitter and Facebook have become arbiters of what they feel is permitted speech, taking your right to self-expression into their own hands—and promptly crushing it. Big Tech companies have worked hard over the past several years to enlarge their power and influence over how we live our lives, and we have finally reached a breaking point.They have carefully cultivated a monopoly on online speech, establishing
A rare economic declaration from our president, Joe Biden, is herewith recorded:
“For too long Republicans have thrown around terms like pro-growth and supply-side economics to drive an economic agenda that didn't deliver enough growth and supplied more wealth to those who already were very well off. From day one, my economic agenda has been different. It’s been about taking a fundamentally new approach to our economy.”That's right, Mr. President. We have a brand new approach to our economy. You have generated the first serious bout of inflation in four decades. Nice going. This could not have been easy. The Federal Reserve has been trying to get inflation
President Joe Biden appears to have declared war on roughly 50 percent of the U.S. population, and according to Fox News host Greg Gutfeld, this “should scare the crap out of all of us.”Speaking Friday on Fox News’ “Gutfeld!” the host drew attention to a disturbing, eerie tweet the president had posted amid the left’s Jan. 6th anniversary festivities on Thursday.“I have said it many times, and it is no more true or real than when we think about the events of January 6: We are in a battle for the soul of America.
According to a report, Democrats are so desperate to eliminate the Senate filibuster — which would enable the Democrats, who control the Senate, to pass legislation regarding voting that would be highly favorable to them— that two former presidents and celebrity Oprah Winfrey have contacted Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV), who is considered the pivotal vote in the Senate, to pressure him into accepting the filibuster’s demise.Former presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton have joined Winfrey in the cooperative effort to persuade Manchin, according to Politico.“Manchin has told colleagues that his phone line has been lighting up with prominent names outside the Senate in recent days.
The number two Senate GOP leader John Thune has announced he is running for reelection this year.The South Dakota senator - and likely successor to Republican leader Mitch McConnell - announced his run for reelection on Twitter on Saturday, putting an end an end to recent speculation over his political future.'I've always promised that I would do the work, even when it was hard, uncomfortable, or unpopular,' Thune said in a statement posted on Twitter. 'That work continues, which is why after careful consideration and prayer, and with the support of my family, I'm asking South Dakotans for the opportunity to continue serving them in the US Senate.'
Fox News host Laura Ingraham blasted former Vice President Dick Cheney Thursday after he visited Capitol Hill for the first anniversary of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot."The dinosaurs of the Pelosi-Schumer age are about to go extinct," Ingraham said. "They know their political con game is coming to an end in November, and they're so petrified that Trump or someone with similar views will win the presidency in 2024 that they're even willing to team up with an old nemesis [Dick Cheney]."The Fox host then presented a collection of clips showing Democrats rip the former vice president throughout the years.
While Democrats are attempting to make the most of their congressional majorities, it is widely anticipated Republicans will have a strong showing in November and win back control of the U.S. House of Representatives.According to Rep. Barry Moore (R-AL), Republicans should consider using their leadership powers, including potential House Judiciary chairmanship for Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), to possibly impeach President Joe Biden and investigate if House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) played any role in the lax security at the U.S. Capitol in the lead-up to the January 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol riot.

Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) on Thursday called for the lessons of the Jan. 6, 2021, to be heeded as Washington observes the anniversary of the unprecedented Capitol attack, warning that "democracy is fragile."
"We ignore the lessons of January 6 at our own peril. Democracy is fragile; it cannot survive without leaders of integrity and character who care more about the strength of our Republic than about winning the next election," Romney said in a statement.
"I said last year that the best way we can show respect for voters who are upset is by telling them the truth," he added.

Transgender University of Pennsylvania swimmer Lia Thomas was crushed in the 100-yard freestyle, finishing fifth, after being beaten by another transgender swimmer who is transitioning from female to male. Earlier, Thomas won the first of four races by just two seconds—one month after she shattered two women's records with a 38-second margin against her closest competitor.

Hospitalizations of U.S. children under 5 with COVID-19 soared in recent weeks to their highest level since the pandemic began, according to government data released Friday on the only age group not yet eligible for the vaccine.
The worrisome trend in children too young to be vaccinated underscores the need for older kids and adults to get their shots to help protect those around them, said Dr. Rochelle Walensky, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Since mid-December, with the highly contagious omicron variant spreading furiously around the country, the hospitalization rate in these youngest kids has surged to more than 4 in 100,000 children, up from 2.5 per 100,000.
The liberal wing of the Supreme Court embarrassed itself Friday with a slew of false claims about COVID-19 during oral arguments over Joe Biden’s vaccine mandates.
For example, Justice Stephen Breyer claimed hospitals are at capacity because of unvaccinated Americans with COVID. This is false. But perhaps the most ridiculous false claim from a Supreme Court justice came from Justice Sonia Sotomayor, who falsely claimed that 100,000 children are in “serious condition” from COVID.
“We have hospitals that are almost at full capacity with people severely ill on ventilators. We have over 100,000 children, which we’ve never had before, in serious condition, and many on ventilators,” Sotomayor claimed.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Rochelle Walensky said Friday there is a good chance that the U.S. will follow the "ice-pick"-shaped curve of South Africa's omicron surge of the COVID variant, but cautioned that it could roll through different parts of the country at various times, as previous waves have. "I do think in places that we are seeing this really steep incline, that we may well see also a precipitous decline, but we're also a much bigger country than South Africa," Walensky said in a briefing with reporters.
Politico Playbook ran an unwise story about the “wise Latina” Justice Sotomayor purportedly dining with Democratic heavyweights after one of the most ridiculous, fact-free performances by any Supreme Court Justice in U.S. history.
The photo that purportedly showed Sotomayor dining with Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer is shown below.
“SPOTTED: Speaker NANCY PELOSI, Senate Majority Leader CHUCK SCHUMER and wife, IRIS WEINSHALL, Sens. AMY KLOBUCHAR (D-Minn.) and DICK DURBIN (D-Ill.) dining together at Le Diplomate on Friday night,” Politico Playbook said. Then, it noted that it was initially miscaptioned.
“CORRECTION: The original version of this item misidentified Iris Weinshall, the wife of Chuck Schumer, as Sonia Sotomayor.

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg appeared with Rev. Al Sharpton Saturday at the National Action Network Rally in New York to talk about his plans to reduce incarceration through lowered prison sentences and fewer arrests.
"We said we were going to marry fairness and safety, and we laid out a specific plan," Bragg declared. "We put it on the website. We put it in print. And this week, after Jan. 1, we got down to work, and we are doing what we said we would do."

Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam said Wednesday he was "sick and tired" of hearing criticism of "what went wrong" during the recent snowstorm that left hundreds of people stranded for hours on Interstate 95, according to The Richmond Times-Dispatch. During an interview on WRVA, a Richmond-area radio station, reporter Matt Demlein asked Northam about any updates in assessing how the huge transportation backlog transpired, especially as many were stuck in their vehicles with limited heat, minimal food options, and frigid outdoor temperatures. The Democratic governor — who is term-limited and will leave office on January 15 — forcefully rejected the line of questioning
