WASHINGTON—The Federal Reserve signaled Wednesday that it will begin a series of interest-rate hikes in March, reversing pandemic-era policies that have fueled hiring and growth — and stock market gains — but also stubbornly high inflation.Chair Jerome Powell said at a news conference that inflation has gotten “slightly worse” since the Fed last met in December. He said raising the Fed’s benchmark rate, which has been pegged at zero since March 2020, will help prevent high prices from becoming entrenched.Seeking to calm fears that higher rates might hurt the economy, Powell said the central bank can manage the process in a way that prolongs growth and keeps unemployment low.
NBC News ran an op-ed by abortion advocates who spuriously attempted to link the pro-life movement and the March for Life to white nationalism, claiming they are willing to overlook racist agendas in order to form a united front against abortion.The piece ran on Monday and was authored by pro-choice advocates Renee Bracey Sherman and Lizz Winstead who pointed to the Patriot Front crashing the March for Life event last week as proof that the movement supports white supremacists. They called it a “dog whistle … coming from inside the house” and alleged that the incident proves pro-life advocates are “ignoring racism.”
On Wednesday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Jesse Watters Primetime,” Breitbart News senior contributor Peter Schweizer and author of Red-Handed: How American Elites Get Rich Helping China Win, said House Speaker Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) went soft from her previous anti-Chinese Communist Party position after “her husband and son started seeking deals in Beijing.”He added that while her family “has done a lot of business in China since the COVID outbreak,” she had refused to allow congressional hearings
Brazen thieves have been hitting the same Upper East Side Rite Aid for months, forcing it to close - and now, numerous small businesses in the upscale Manhattan neighborhood, where residents say they are on high alert because of rising crime, are worried they will soon suffer the same fate after a string of thefts.Shelves are already bare in the Rite Aid store, located at the corner of 80th Street and 2nd Avenue because it will shut its doors for good on February 15, the manager told DailyMail.com, a day after a thief was caught on video boldly sauntering out with shopping bags full of stolen goods. The brazen incident
U.S. Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer was ushered into retirement by “left-wing dark money groups,” according to a statement Wednesday by Carrie Severino, president of the conservative Judicial Crisis Network.
Breyer’s retirement was reported by the press before he himself made it, leading to speculation that it had been leaked by a White House eager to appease left-wing critics after its recent legislative failures — and worried about Republicans winning the Senate in 2022.(snip)
Left-wing groups and elected Democrats had been pressuring Breyer to retire for months, fearful of repeating the experience of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s death in 2020, which allowed President Donald Trump to appoint a third Supreme
Kerri Gray had just parked outside an Atlanta food market she often visited when she turned around and saw her baby slumped over in his car seat. When she noticed a pool of blood in his lap, her heart began to race. On Tuesday afternoon, less than 24 hours after the fatal drive-by shooting of 6-month-old Grayson Matthew Fleming-Gray, Atlanta’s mayor and police chief announced the arrest of 22-year-old Dequasie Jonathan Little.(Snip)She said she knew Grayson was gone the moment she pressed him against her white fleece sweater, which remains stained with his blood.
A fun leftover from yesterday and our latest entry in the Someone Left The Irony On Department. With brinksmanship escalating between the US, the European Union, and Ukraine, CNN’s John Berman asks a solid question: why should Americans care about the fate of this country on the eastern edge of Europe? Jonathan Finer, deputy national security adviser to Joe Biden, says we should be all about enforcing border security and recognizing national sovereignty.
Er .. who wants to tell him?
On Tuesday, Neil Young gave streaming service Spotify an ultimatum.
“I want you to let Spotify know immediately TODAY that I want all my music off their platform,” he told them. “They can have Rogan or Young. Not both.”
Well, Spotify chose Joe Rogan.
According to a report from Wall Street Journal, the streaming giant is “in the process of removing Neil Young’s music” from the platform.
“I am doing this because Spotify is spreading fake information about vaccines—potentially causing death to those who believe the disinformation being spread by them.” Spotify chose to honor their $100+ million contract with Rogan
President Joe Biden presents himself as an avuncular good ol’ boy from Scranton.
But he’s not that at all. Aside from his creepy behavior with women and children (c’mon, who sniffs hair?), he’s also a cold-blooded politician who has ruthlessly made his way in politics by slashing and burning his opponents.
Of course, he’s no different from his predecessors — you don’t get to be president unless you’re a real, well, let’s just say the nickname for Richard. The great thing about former President Donald Trump was clueing us into this: All these guys are calculating Machiavellis — Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, Biden, every politician, really.
Joe Biden had been president for just three months, but Demand Justice was anxious. The influential, courts-focused progressive organization wanted Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer to step away so Biden could fill the seat with someone younger who could serve for decades to come. So Demand Justice on April 9, 2021, marked the 11-year anniversary of the late Justice John Paul Stevens' retirement announcement by launching a "Breyer Retire" campaign and dispatching a black-and-neon-green billboard truck emblazoned with the message "BREYER, RETIRE" to circle the Supreme Court . But Breyer stayed put. His apparent intransigence frustrated progressives — and even some of
The news that Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer is retiring is still fresh. He won’t even officially retire until October, and the Biden administration will likely spend months vetting potential nominees.
But I can tell you right now, whoever Biden picks, they sexually assaulted me 25 years ago at a high school party. I can’t remember how I got there or how I got home. So far, the people I know who were present are telling me it didn’t happen. I may have changed my story a few times too. But, hey, look, you can trust me. I have no agenda.

Governor On Masks replies
FAIRFAX COUNTY, Virginia – Fairfax County Public Schools made a show of defying Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s order that schools respect parental rights on masking on Tuesday, with an assistant principal standing in front of the school to suspend students without masks, and a public relations staffer who said the media was not allowed to watch the conflict between state and local governments play out.
At one classroom exterior door, a teacher in a dark mask and a full-face plastic shield resembled Darth Vader as she peered through the glass and, after seeing a masked child out front, opened the door a crack to let him in.
A new law proposed in South Carolina could make it illegal for an employer or other organization to ask about a person’s vaccine status.
South Carolina House Bill 4848, also called the “don’t ask” bill, would make questions about a person’s COVID-19 status a misdemeanor crime.
“Notwithstanding another provision of law to the contrary, any employee, officer, agent, or other representative of a public, nonprofit, or private entity who inquires about the COVID-19 vaccination status of any student, employee, member, or anyone else seeking admission on the entity’s premises is guilty of a misdemeanor and, upon conviction, must be fined not more than fourteen thousand dollars
In 1964, the Supreme Court issued a “landmark” decision in New York Times vs. Sullivan, which established the very high bar of requiring the smeared plaintiff to prove there was “actual malice” on the part of the media outlet. Now The Times is exploiting that standard again in the feisty First Amendment test brought by Sarah Palin. There is no doubt that the liberal media are nervous about this “prestigious” newspaper being forced into court to defend their reckless character assassinations of conservatives.Palin first sued The Times in 2017
In 2016, Donald Trump pulled off an extraordinary political feat only he could have achieved. As the army of highly compensated professional political consultants in Washington, D.C., watched aghast, Trump single-handedly wrested the Republican nomination from the grip of a GOP establishment that had long enjoyed complete control of national and state party hierarchies, fundraising structures, and think tanks that determine policy priorities. As Trump’s rogue campaign trounced establishment candidates in state after state in the GOP primaries—despite the unified opposition of Conservatism, Inc.—he not only defeated that establishment’s lockstep institutional opposition, he defeated their agenda
Dr Anthony Fauci, the nation's top infectious disease expert, issued a warning Wednesday that it is too early to consider Covid 'controlled' in the U.S. During a Covid briefing Wednesday, the director of the National Institute of Allergies and Infectious Disease warned that the current Covid situation is not as optimistic as some officials and experts are saying.(Snip)He also mentioned that the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine for young children—which he believes could be available soon—will require three doses of the shot instead of the standard two dose regimen. 'Where we want to be is that sufficient control. Not eradication… that's unreasonable. Not necessarily elimination…
The US has shipped more than 400 million free COVID-19 vaccine doses to 112 needy countries around the world, the White House said Wednesday. “Today, we will hit a major milestone in our global effort: 400 million vaccine doses shipped to 112 countries … for free, no strings attached,” White House COVID-19 coordinator Jeff Zients said at a press conference. “Put America’s leadership into perspective. We have shipped four times more free doses to the world than any other country,” he said. The donated jabs include 42 million doses delivered to Pakistan, 28 million to Bangladesh and 24 million to the Philippines, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation,
White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Wednesday that President Biden stands by his commitment to nominate a Black woman to serve on the Supreme Court. Mr. Biden is expected to formally announce Supreme Court Justice Stephen G. Breyer’s retirement and will have his first opportunity to install a new justice since taking office.
He pledged during the 2020 campaign that he would nominate the first Black woman to serve in the high court if a seat opened during his tenure. “The president has stated and reiterated his commitment to nominating a Black woman to the Supreme Court, and certainly stands by that for today,” Ms. Psaki told reporters.
The Biden administration has canceled two leases near Minnesota’s Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness — a remote, lake-pocked region at the center of a blistering fight over whether to mine near one of the nation’s most popular wilderness destinations. On Wednesday, the Interior Department said it found that the leases to extract copper, nickel and other valuable hardrock minerals in northern Minnesota were improperly renewed under Donald Trump. The Biden administration’s decision will help protect the hundreds of lakes, streams and wetlands in the 1.1 million-acre wilderness area hugging the Canadian border from the potential toxic leaching from mining.
Shoplifters are so unconcerned with being arrested in the city that one of them stopped to chat with The Post after ransacking a Manhattan drug store—which is closing for good because of the out-of-control crime scourge. The Rite Aid at the corner of 8th Avenue and 50th Street in Hell’s Kitchen will close Feb. 8 because of the rampant pilfering, said store sources who claim thieves have ripped off more than $200,000 worth of merchandise in the past two months alone. A Post reporter followed one brazen thief at the store last week, watching him load four cases of beer into an oversize canvas bag
Surveillance video shared on social media of a shooting inside a Spring Garden pizza shop last month appears to contradict portions of the initial account shared by police, including the assertion that the shooting victim was shot after he tried to strangle the mother of the teenager who ended up firing on him.
The 28-second video instead shows the would-be robber forcefully reaching for the register — not the cashier — in an apparent attempt to steal money. Within seconds, a 14-year-old behind the counter pulled a gun from his waistband and fired from point-blank range, the video shows.
The mayor of Ukraine’s capital city, former heavyweight boxing champion Vitali Klitschko, pulled no punches against the German government Wednesday after Berlin committed to supplying Ukraine with 5,000 military helmets in the face of a potential Russian invasion. “The behavior of the German government leaves me speechless,” Klitschko, who was elected mayor of Kiev in 2014, told German tabloid Bild, according to Reuters. “The defense ministry apparently hasn’t realized that we are confronted with perfectly equipped Russian forces that can start another invasion of Ukraine at any time.” “What kind of support will Germany send next?” Klitschko added. “Pillows?”
Washington—Republicans’ faith in science is falling as Democrats rely on it even more, with a trust gap in science and medicine widening substantially during the COVID-19 pandemic, new survey data shows. It’s the largest gap in nearly five decades of polling by the General Social Survey, a widely respected trend survey conducted by NORC at the University of Chicago that has been measuring confidence in institutions since 1972. That is unsurprising to more than a dozen scientists reached for comment by The Associated Press, but it concerns many of them. Science used to be something all Americans would get behind, Rice University historian Douglas Brinkley said.
Biden accused of keeping GOP lawmakers

in the dark about $1.2T being spent on infrastructure replies
House Republicans are demanding transparency from the Biden administration about how it is spending more than $1.2 trillion in infrastructure funding that Congress approved last year.
Top GOP lawmakers on the House Transporation and Infrastructure Committee said more clarity is needed given the size of the public works package and the “byzantine” bureaucracies responsible for its implementation. The Biden administration’s decision to appoint Mitch Landrieu as its unelected, unconfirmed “infrastructure czar” has done little to allay concerns, they said.(Snip)Mr. Landrieu, a Democrat and former mayor of New Orleans, was tapped as the White House’s “infrastructure czar” in November 2021. The appointment came shortly after Congress passed the $1.2 trillion
Former Clinton advisor and Democrat pollster Mark Penn joined ‘Americas Newsroom’ to discuss Biden's continuing drop in polls as COVID-19, inflation, and crime is on the rise. Penn said Biden is facing a "double-barreled" problem.MARK PENN: The president has the double-barreled problem of people are upset that the virus is continuing. But I think even more importantly, now that inflation has raged and therefore so few people think the economy is going in the right direction. As you know, when things are going badly, the ins get voted out. And that can be a very powerful force here, and I rarely have seen numbers this bad in recent times.
They must be bored again at the Department of Homeland Security because they are back to issuing Armageddon-like warnings about “domestic violent extremists” about to do all sorts of really, really bad stuff, you know, like burn the Reichstag or destroy a radio tower at Gleiwitz. Domestic violent extremists and racially motivated extremists have been developing plans to attack the U.S. electric sector, according to an intelligence bulletin from the Department of Homeland Security that was issued this week and obtained by The Daily Beast. “DVEs have developed credible, specific plans to attack electricity infrastructure since at least 2020, identifying the electric grid as a particularly attractive target
The latest from the Durham investigation which should have been completed ages ago is not good news. According to reports, Durham’s team only this month found out about key evidence that should have been analyzed months ago.As most Americans know, corrupt Obama officials during the 2016 Election used a false document (the Steele Dossier) as a basis for spying on the Trump campaign and Administration. This dossier was a lie created by the Hillary gang and the DOJ and FBI used it anyways in a coup attempt to have President Trump removed from office.
This time in history is bound to assume a place alongside The Black Plague, the First and Second World War, and The Cold War. Man, as we’ve seen over and over in this miserable pandemic debacle, can be as malignant a force as a microbe barely seen under an electron microscope. Right now, most of the world is afflicted by a virus made vicious by the machinations of a human in a lab in Wuhan, China, funded by money courtesy of the U.S. taxpayers. Doesn’t that beat all?

Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer will retire.
As one of three liberal justices on the Supreme Court, his vacancy, reported by several outlets Wednesday, will pave the way for President Joe Biden to nominate a new judge to the highest court.
"It has always been the decision of any Supreme Court Justice if and when they decide to retire, and how they want to announce it, and that remains the case today," White House press secretary Jen Psaki wrote in a statement. "We have no additional details or information to share."
Biden’s Ukraine Scramble
replies
As usual, the media coverage on the Ukraine crisis is largely inadequate. Perversely, most of the aggressive left-wing media want to escalate the feud with Russian President Vladimir Putin to the point of driving Russia into the arms of China. This is the only way Russia (whose GDP is smaller than Canada’s) could seriously damage the West.
At the same time, some conservative commentators, including some of the stars at Fox News, are unreasonably accusing those who favor resisting Russian aggression in Ukraine of being warmongers and trying to propel America into endless, useless war. Again.
There is a legitimate American and Western interest in not allowing Russia to trample
A retired military official is warning on Wednesday that China could claim salvage rights to an F-35 stealth fighter jet that crashed into the South China Sea earlier this week. Carl Schuster, former director of operations at the US Pacific Command's Joint Intelligence Center in Hawaii, told CNN that China's likely game plan will be to capitalize on its territorial claims in the South China Sea and claim it's salvaging the craft for environmental purposes.(Snip)The timeline for search and recovery could stretch across months, the retired military commander said. Salvage ships could take between 10 to 15 days to arrive at their destination, he explained,
Miami Beach, Fla.—The U.S. Coast Guard battled time and currents Wednesday as aircraft and ships searched for 38 people missing in the Atlantic off Florida, four days after the capsizing of a suspected smuggling boat killed at least one and left one known survivor. Capt. Jo-Ann F. Burdian told a news conference that finding the other migrants alive is their highest priority. She said the survivor told rescuers that they capsized shortly after sailing into a storm from the Bahamas Saturday evening.(Snip)The man said he was part of a group of 40 people who left the island of Bimini in the Bahamas on Saturday evening
COVID-19 can be stopped without massive vaccination, renowned cardiologist and epidemiologist Dr. Peter McCullough told NTD’s “Capitol Report” program during the “Defeat the Mandates” march in Washington D.C., on Jan. 23.
According to McCullough, early treatment and natural immunity are safe and effective against COVID-19, but federal health agencies have ignored these in a push for vaccines, the broad use of which is not needed.
“The government has certainly been in an oblivion in terms of early treatment,” he said.
Thousands of people turned out to march in protest against COVID-19 vaccine mandates—one of the largest U.S. events against the mandates since the start of the pandemic.
According to a recent Harvard-Harris poll, Americans think Trump did a better job as president than Brandon is doing.The poll, which recorded the responses of 1,815 registered voters, first asked those voters “In general, do you think the country is on the right track or is it off on the wrong track?”The answers tracked with what many have been reporting recently. 33% of respondents said they thought the country is on the right track, 59% said the nation is on the wrong track, and the remaining 8% were unsure.The next question was similar, but focused on the economy rather than the country as a whole,
When Corey Johnson was 17, he murdered a 13-year-old boy, Jovanni Sierra Brand, and stabbed two other people because they “idolized celebrities and disrespected his Muslim faith.” Johnson is now 21. On Thursday, he got a life sentence for the murder, but no one seems to be pondering the larger implications of the case.
The UK’s Daily Mail reported Thursday that “Palm Beach County Judge Cheryl Caracuzzo sentenced Johnson to life in prison and said on Thursday she did not believe rehabilitation was likely for Johnson after he remained emotionless during the heartfelt testimony of Jovanni’s mother.”
When he was in court Thursday, Johnson did make an attempt to show remorse:
The United States and several of its European allies are in talks to deploy thousands of forces to NATO countries near Ukraine ahead of a potential Russian invasion of the former Soviet state, a new report claimed on Wednesday.The deployment would be a show of force for the Western alliance against an increasingly aggressive Vladimir Putin, sources told CNN.Each country would reportedly send 1,000 additional troops. Romania, Bulgaria and Hungary are among the countries expected to receive them.The report claimed that not all NATO countries are on board with the potential plan, which the US and United Kingdom have signed onto.
Deescalation appears to be accelerating over the Ukraine crisis given a number of rapid developments which have seen lead NATO countries break from the more bellicose and threatening tone of the United States and UK. After Germany's neutrality toward the Russia-Ukraine crisis became apparent, Sweden is the latest to follow its lead of forbidding arms transfers to Kiev, while Croatia is out with a firm statement saying it will recall all of its troops from NATO in the event of war.
This followed on the heels of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announcing that circumstances in the region are now "under control" and that there's "no reason to panic" according to
Over last weekend, attorneys for Carter Page filed responses to motions to dismiss filed by the FBI and eight agents involved in the Crossfire Hurricane investigation that led to the government illegally obtaining four surveillance warrants to spy on Page.
In November 2020, Page, who had briefly served as a volunteer advisor to the Trump campaign, sued the defendants in a D.C. federal court alleging violations of the Fourth Amendment, the Patriot Act, and the Privacy Act. In response, the government and the individual defendants argued Page’s claims were time-barred or that Page had no legal grounds on which to sue. Page’s responses counter those arguments while providing five key take-aways.
A Pa. woman first on the scene of last week’s lab monkey truck crash near Danville is now the center of online conspiracy theories after falling ill. The Daily Mail reports the woman, Michele Fallon who lives near Danville, Pa., is now suffering symptoms after one of the cynomolgus macaque monkeys “hissed” in her face. On her Facebook page and in interviews, Fallon said she suddenly developed a cough, runny nose and pink-eye the day following the accident. The pink-eye became so bad, she sought emergency room treatment at Geisinger Medical Center in Danville, the Daily Mail reported. According to
A suspect wanted for a fatal Bronx nightclub shooting sparked by an argument over the line for the restroom has been nabbed, police said Wednesday. Damon Bailey, 40, was arrested Tuesday on murder and gun charges for allegedly shooting Shamar Watt, 30, during a May 9 fight over whose turn it was to use the bathroom inside an unlicensed club on Third Ave. near E. 184th St. in Belmont, police said.(Snip)Surveillance video later released by police shows the gunman, clad in a hoodie, slowly approach the victim and opening fire, then casually strolling away as clubgoers scatter. Bailey served two state prison terms for gun possession, records show.

border crisis, inflation, and crime, spin
out of control replies
Joe Biden has a funny way of dealing with crises. Instead of working the phones or discussing strategies with diplomats or military officials, he takes a jaunt outside for ice cream.
He did something of that nature when he (and his secretary of state, Anthony Blinken) went on vacation when Afghanistan was collapsing -- Biden to Camp David, Blinken to the Hamptons, while Biden's sidekick, Kamala Harris, toured Singapore and Vietnam. (Snip) Now that Ukraine has emerged as a full-blown crisis,
Few things delight me more than watching climate cultists with Big Plans to change the way we live running headlong into reality and discovering that their ideas just don't work. The story of Heidi Harmon, who stepped down from being mayor of San Luis Obispo, California last August to battle climate change, is one to savor. (snip) After multiple attempts to find a working charging station in San Jose, Harmon realized charging the car would take up to seven hours and there was no way she could make the rally. Harmon posted multiple videos about her difficulties in traveling in an all-electric vehicle. She discusses calling the police
The big news on Monday night was that Joe Biden, in response to a perfectly appropriate question from Fox News White House correspondent Steve Doocy, not only refused to answer, but openly and into the mic called Doocy a "stupid son of a b‑‑‑‑." Biden then called Doocy, ostensibly to apologize. In fact, he didn't apologize at all, but Doocy seemed happy to be the nice guy who accepted a private non-apology in exchange for a public insult. (snip) What he should have said was, "Mr. Biden, you very publicly and crudely insulted me. I expect an equally public, explicit apology."
An 80-tonne shipment of US anti-tank missiles has arrived in Ukraine—just the latest delivery of high-tech weapons aimed at inflicting maximum death and destruction on Putin's forces if he decides to invade. A plane loaded with 300 Javelin missiles worth some $50million landed in capital Kiev late Tuesday, the third part of a $200million shipment of American military aid that is being sent to help its ally. The shipment also contained grenade launchers, as well as ammunition and other non-lethal weapons systems, and comes in addition to other anti-tank and anti-aircraft weapons already supplied by the UK, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.
Republican Sen. Marsha Blackburn (TN) slammed President Joe Biden, stating he is loved by “Communist China” in light of shocking revelations from Peter Schweizer’s new book Red-Handed: How American Elites Get Rich Helping China Win.
Blackburn linked to a Breitbart News report on the revelation in Schweizer’s book that donations from communist China to the University of Pennsylvania almost tripled after the university announced the launch of the Biden Center in February of 2017.
“In the three years before the announcement, the university received around $15 million. In the three years after, the total was close to $40 million. The latter number is $60 million from China if you include contracts,”
Biden: No Course Correction
replies
The failures of President Joe Biden's first year in office are obvious to all. Inflation is raging. COVID is raging. Crime is spiking in some big cities. The U.S.-Mexico border is a mess. The American withdrawal from Afghanistan was a mess. And with it all, the president and his party are obsessed, most of all, with passing a voting rules bill that would help ensure their future election by federalizing the voting system along lines favorable to Democrats.
It's hard to avoid the conclusion that Democrats, and the president, are spending too much time focusing on issues that are not top voter concerns. That has created a huge opportunity for Republicans.
There's nothing petty about petty crime. Tolerate it, and society descends into disorder.
You're standing in line at Starbucks and watch a freeloader go to the front, pick out a sandwich and walk out without paying. No one says a word.
Or you pay your bills, then find out thieves have robbed the blue USPS box to abscond with your checking information and empty your account. That happened to me last week.
The thieves fish mail out of the box or use stolen USPS keys sold on the internet. This crime is surging, but the police and banks shrug their shoulders and advise going directly to the post office or using electronic banking.
While Nancy Pelosi often gets called out as the Congresswoman that knows how to make money day trading based on upcoming legislation and things that only the legislature knows to be ture, she’s hardly the only one that does so. In fact, Congress as a whole beat the S&P 500 in 2021, according to a shocking report from Unusual Whales.
According to that report, 105 members of Congress were involved in over 3,500 trades last year, selling somewhere in the range of $290 million in stocks. Further, 6 members of Congress were involved in over 270 options contract transactions totaling about $140 million,
The Wisconsin Assembly has voted in the affirmative to pass a privileged resolution to withdraw the state’s 10 electors who were slated to have cast their votes for Joe Biden in the 2020 election.
The announcement of the privileged resolution, as well as the present members unanimous vote to pass it, can be viewed below. [Video]
The privileged resolution to withdraw the Biden electors will now proceed to the Wisconsin Rules Committee in the Wisconsin Assembly and to the Wisconsin Senate for immediate confirmation. The legislation was introduced by Rep. Timothy Ramthun.
President Biden said Tuesday that a Russian invasion of Ukraine would “change the world” — moments after reiterating that he has “no intention of putting American forces or NATO forces” in the threatened country.
“There will be enormous consequences if he were to go in and invade, as he could, the entire country — or a lot less than as well — for Russia, not only in terms of economic consequences and political consequences,” Biden told reporters, referring to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
It wasn’t long ago that we were told that President Donald Trump’s questioning the legitimacy of the election wasn’t just unfounded, but a serious threat to the future of the nation.
As one commentator put it, by fanning the specter of election fraud, Trump was “sowing doubt not just about the 2020 election, but whether America’s voting system – the foundation of American democracy – is sound … In a democracy, where governing power is rooted in the consent of the governed, this is deeply dangerous.”
Yet here is President Joe Biden, predicting that the next election can’t be trusted, based on far less evidence than Trump had.
Of the more than 725 Americans arrested so far for various crimes related to the Capitol protest on January 6, 2021, nearly every defendant faces the same two misdemeanor charges: “entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds” and “disorderly conduct in a restricted building or grounds.”
The basis for the offenses is not, as the American people repeatedly have been told, that the building was closed to the public that day. (Snip)
Instead, the Justice Department has argued that the presence of both Vice President Michael Pence and incoming Vice President Kamala Harris rendered entry into the Capitol on January 6 a federal crime
One of the most memorable lines from the 1995 movie “The Usual Suspects” is this: “The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he did not exist.”
With just a little tweak, this statement could be applied to the last presidential election: “The greatest trick the Democrats ever pulled was convincing the voters they did not steal the 2020 election.”
Consider the number of things the Left has been willing to lie to the American people about in recent years.
Musician Neil Young on Tuesday deleted his post of a letter that directed his management team and record label to remove his music from Spotify over what he views as COVID misinformation spread by podcaster Joe Rogan.
"I want you to let Spotify know immediately TODAY that I want all my music off their platform," he wrote, Rolling Stone reports. "They can have Rogan or Young. Not both."
The part-time Crosby, Stills & Nash member accused Spotify of "spreading fake information about vaccines – potentially causing death to those who believe the disinformation being spread by them."
For 50 years, Joe Biden cultivated an illusory image of being a kindly — if dimwitted — uncle: someone whose terrible politics and inappropriate malapropisms were tolerated because he said he meant well. What a farce. Uncle Joe — now firmly in grandfather territory — was never that guy. Long a fantasist who recounts fake stories years after they’ve been debunked, Biden was always a hit-and-run liar. He was also always a hack and a jerk, with an anger that betrays the arrogance of a corrupt elite. This week, he called Fox News reporter Peter Doocy
President Joe Biden said there would be enormous impacts in Europe should Russia invade Ukraine – and said such a move would bring 'severe consequences' for Russian President Vladimir Putin. Biden made the sweeping statements at a Capitol Hill gift shop, as he began to make good on a pledge to get out into the country more, although in this case just minutes from the White House. He issued stark pronouncements bout the global stakes after examining gifts for family, speaking to the national media in front of a tote bag featuring a blue whale.

This discussion on the special “Second Opinion” panel that Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) hosted is a perfect example of one of the root problems in the American response to the covid pandemic: The press. Johnson organized world-renowned doctors and medical experts to offer a different perspective on the pandemic: global pandemic response, the current state of knowledge of early and hospital treatment, vaccine efficacy and safety, what went right, what went wrong, what should be done now, and what needs to be addressed long term. The panel discussion was held this Monday, and the 5-hour discussion is via the link HERE.
