Rep. Jim Cooper becomes 29th House Democrat
to announce exit ahead of 2022 midterms
Posted By: formerNYer, 1/25/2022 11:32:46 PM
ennessee's longtime Rep. Jim Cooper is the latest in a growing line of House Democrats who have announced they're not going to run for re-election in this year's November midterms. He blames the latest round of redistricting as a hurdle that got in his way. It's a change that CBS reports now favors Republicans by "at least 15 points." Today I am announcing that I will not run for re-election to Congress. After 32 years in office, I will be leaving Congress next year.

REPORT: Maddow Taking ‘Hiatus’ From MSNBC
34 replies
MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow is taking a “hiatus” from the network, according to a Monday report from Business Insider.
Maddow is expected to announce her hiatus to viewers of “The Rachel Maddow Show” tonight, according to Business Insider. The host will reportedly step away from her show to instead focus on movie and podcast productions.
Maddow’s hiatus is expected to start Feb. 7, Business Insider reported. The break is expected to be temporary and Maddow will still appear for coverage of special events, according to the outlet.
As indictments and new court filings indicate that Special Counsel John Durham is investigating Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign for feeding false reports to the FBI to incriminate Donald Trump and his advisers as Kremlin agents, Clinton’s role in the burgeoning scandal remains elusive. What did she know and when did she know it? Top officials involved in her campaign have repeatedly claimed, some under oath, that they and the candidate were unaware of the foundation of their disinformation campaign: the 35-page collection of now debunked claims of Trump/Russia collusion known as the Steele dossier.

‘I Stay In My Lane,’ We Should Entertain
‘For All People’ 8 replies
Oscar-winning actress Goldie Hawn on Friday discussed the heavy political activism of Hollywood, stating that she likes to “stay in her lane” when it comes to politics and believes entertainers should strive to “serve” and perform “for all people. ”SiriusXM host Megyn Kelly broached the subject with Hawn during her Friday show. “I think it’s why it drives people crazy when Hollywood tries to act holier than thou and starts lecturing middle America about morality and so on,”
Parents who planned to dine out with their kids in the Big Apple on Monday were shocked to find out that 5- to 11-year-olds can’t get into restaurants without being vaccinated against the coronavirus — and the rule is about to get even tougher.
Erik St. Martin, a software engineer from Florida, 38, said he and his daughter Allie, 7, were turned away from the Hard Rock Cafe in Times Square because she hasn’t gotten any shots.
Hillary Clinton Emails Surface
18 replies
Emails have from 2009 have surfaced that reveal Hillary Clinton knew about — and possibly covered up — the threat posed by the Chinese Communist Party’s Wuhan Institute of Virology while she was in office as President Obama’s secretary of state.
In a leaked State Department cable obtained from Wikileaks, Clinton warned that the Wuhan Institute of Virology could lead to “biological weapons proliferation concern.” The email was sent in June of 2009 from the State Department to all embassies in member nations.
All hope for Steven Spielberg’s racially divisive West Side Story remake died in week two, plummeting 68 percent with a humiliating take of just $3.4 million. After ten days in release, which includes two weekends, this historic box office bomb has grossed just $17.9 million. The hope had been that word of mouth would give Woke Side box office legs. Sorry, nope. No legs. Just two little stumps.
A Missouri-based conservative political action committee has canceled a fundraiser featuring Donald Trump Jr. after a payment processor owned by the nation’s largest bank reportedly canceled its contract with the group, refunded $30,000 in ticket sales, then said it had made a mistake and reversed its decision.
The Defense of Liberty PAC event was scheduled for December 3 in St. Charles, a suburb of St. Louis. The organization was expecting approximately 3,000 people to attend. An organizer said tickets ranged from $70 to $250 and included a $500 per person pre-event with Trump Jr.
However, one of the most notable moments of the broadcast was when Maher called out the biased editorial standards of cable news programs, especially MSNBC, and said that had Don Jr. engaged in the same behaviors as Hunter Biden, it would have gotten constant coverage on the news, but, because Hunter’s dad is a Democrat, his behavior doesn’t get the same coverage.
Uncertainty on several fronts delivered Wall Street its largest losses in months amid a broad fall in global stocks.
Investors fretted over the implications and financial contagion of the potential failure of China’s Evergrande property group. A looming Federal Reserve policy meeting, Congressional budget and debt ceiling wrangling in Washington, and stretched stock valuations all contributed to a sense of uncertainty in markets.
Let me start by acknowledging the legitimate skepticism of many Gateway Pundit commentators that any justice will come out of John Durham’s work. You have been promised the moon in the past and instead received a flaming bag of dog poop.
But let’s accept the fact that yesterday’s news that DNC lawyer Michael Sussmann was going to be indicted turned out to be true. Charlie Brown got to kick the football this time. Durham’s indictment of Sussmann lays out the foundation of a conspiracy.

Former Vice President Mike Pence is dropping anchor in South Carolina as he prepares to mount a 2024 White House bid.
Pence is headed back to the Palmetto State in April and May as part of a deliberate strategy to build support with conservative activists and Republican operatives in the state that hosts the third primary on the GOP nominating calendar — and first in the South. Leading this effort is the plugged-in national Republican strategist Chip Saltsman as well as Josh Kimbrell, a state senator described as an “ambassador” for Pence in South Carolina, with other party insiders quietly assisting.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau spoke out against a growing truck convoy of vaccine mandate protesters at the nation’s capital on Monday, claiming Canadians are “disgusted” by their behavior.Trudeau released the post on Twitter just hours after announcing he had tested positive for COVID-19.“I know this pandemic is frustrating. It’s frustrating that, after two years, we’re not done fighting COVID-19.

President Biden said Monday that his administration is committed to improving the border crisis by trying to "figure out" why migrants are leaving their home countries for the U.S. in the first place.
"We’re working a lot with neighboring countries. A lot to do," Biden said during a meeting with Vice President Kamala Harris and the National Governors Association (NGA) at the White House. "I think one of the fundamental things we've got to do in addition to some of the changes we'll make, which we won’t get into it today, is that if we figure out why they're leaving in the first place," the president continued.
Vice President Kamala Harris came within yards of a pipe bomb during last year’s US Capitol riot–and was inside the Democratic National Committee building for about two hours before the device was discovered, according to a new report. Several sources told CNN that Harris drove just a short distance away from the explosive, which was lying next to a bench outside the DNC on Jan. 6, 2021. Her motorcade pulled into the headquarters garage about 11:30 a.m. and stopped at the parking deck near where the bomb was later discovered, according to the network. It has previously been reported that Harris was inside the DNC headquarters
'The View' host Whoopi Goldberg claims

Holocaust wasn’t about race: ‘These
are two White groups’ 31 replies
ABC’s "The View" co-host Whoopi Goldberg declared the Holocaust was "not about race" despite the systematic killing of an estimated six million Jews, leading to sharp criticism of the outspoken liberal. The daytime gabfest was in the midst of a conversation about a Tennessee school district voting to remove a Pulitzer Prize winning graphic novel about the Holocaust from its curriculum due to "inappropriate language" and an illustration of a nude woman. "Maus" by Art Spiegelman tells the story of his Jewish parents living in 1940s Poland and depicts him interviewing his father about his experiences as a Holocaust survivor.
San Quentin death row - where California's most macabre and twisted killers were once caged - is being shuttered and converted into a 'positive, healing environment.'The prison ward is seeped in dark history dating back to March 3, 1893 when the first of 215 prisoners was hung. It has since housed notorious murderers including Charles Manson, Richard 'the night stalker' Ramirez, and William Bonin, a serial killer who killed at least 21 young men and boys.It's the current home of Scott Peterson, who was sentenced to death in 2005 for the murder of his wife Laci and their unborn son.
Albany—An upstate district attorney’s office is dropping its criminal investigation of sexual harassment allegations against Andrew Cuomo—shutting down the last of five criminal cases involving the disgraced ex-governor. But Oswego DA Gregory Oakes told The Post on Monday that while there’s not “sufficient legal basis” to bring charges based on allegations of unwanted physical contact by accuser Virginia Limmiatis, “this decision is not an exoneration.” “After a thorough review of the available evidence and applicable law, the Oswego County District Attorney’s Office has concluded that there is not a sufficient legal basis to bring criminal charges against former Governor Andrew Cuomo based upon the allegations of unwanted
White House press secretary Jen Psaki mocked media outlets who focused on the consequences of 'soft-on-crime' policies during a surge in violence across the country and said some coverage is from an 'alternate universe'.
Psaki was speaking about a Fox News segment during an appearance on the Pod Save America podcast last week when she questioned what 'soft-on-crime consequence' even means and insisted Americans care 'more about what’s happening in their lives than what’s necessarily happening in every cable news chyron'.
Veteran, 76-year-old rocker Neil Young was bad enough. Seventy-eight-year-old Joni Mitchell soon followed. In yet another “devastating blow,” 71-year-old Peter Frampton came next. Oh noes, how will Spotify survive?
But now, in what might prove to be the death blow to Spotify, the ex-royals of ex-royals — attention-craving Harry and Meghan — have announced that they too will join the Joe Rogan protest and boycott the audio streaming and media services provider. But first a bit of background.
The left has long accused Rogan, host of “The Joe Rogan Experience” — the most popular podcast in the world in 2021— of spreading COVID “misinformation” and “anti-vaccination rhetoric,”
Libby was convicted in 2007 of obstruction of justice and other crimes related to a leak of the identity of CIA agent Valerie Plame Wilson. The conviction was widely viewed as a miscarriage of justice, especially because Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage later admitted that he was the likely source of the leak, not Libby. President George W. Bush commuted Libby’s sentence, but despite the urging of then-Vice President Cheney, he declined to issue a formal pardon for his aide.
It was only Trump who pardoned Libby in 2018, taking the political heat for doing so and standing up for Libby’s record of public service.
Whoopi Goldberg (born Caryn Johnson and most decidedly not Jewish), de-Judaized the Holocaust, a strikingly antisemitic act. After a deserved uproar, she apologized but that’s not good enough. Just as Sharon Osborne and Roseanne Barr got fired for offending racial shibboleths, Goldberg needs to go.
Goldberg a staple on The View, a show in which several inane left-wing women loudly opine about the issues of the day, dismissed the Holocaust as a uniquely Jewish event and, essentially said that a lot of people died during World War II

Another one bites the dust - Cooper always talked like a moderate and voted as a liberal. His brother the mayor of Nashville is a doofus too. Good riddance's Jim don't let the door hit you in the @ss on the way out.
