Australian drivers have taken inspiration from a 'Freedom Convoy' in Canada to drive to Canberra and protest against vaccine mandates—but Victoria's Premier has warned booster shots will soon be mandatory. Protesters from all around the country arrived in the nation's capital on Monday as part of the 'Convoy to Canberra' demonstration.
The convoy of cars between Pheasants Nest, NSW and the capital trailed for several kilometres.(Snip)It comes as Daniel Andrews warned booster shots may soon be required for Victorians to be considered fully-vaccinated. 'There has already been some mandating done for third doses, and there will be more,' Mr Andrews said on Sunday.
President Trump held another packed rally in Conroe, Texas on Saturday night.
An estimated 50,000 supporters turned out to see President Trump in Texas.
President Trump also promised to release the persecuted January 6 Political Prisoners at the DC Gulag! These poor men and women are held in isolation without any basic human rights. Truly this is a dark stain on America and our judicial system.
This morning on the Sunday talk shows dangerous Lindsey Graham and RINO Susan Collins bucked Trump and vowed to persecute the January 6 prisoners. These are not good people.

Kim Jong-un will not be ignored. Even with Europe braced for a shooting war in Ukraine, the Winter Olympics set to begin in China and a pandemic still uncontained, the North Korean leader is using a battery of missile firings to remind the world of the threat he poses and give President Biden another growing foreign policy headache to address. Pyongyang on Sunday test-fired what experts are calling the most powerful missile since Mr. Biden took office more than a year ago.(Snip)Analysts say Mr. Kim has grown increasingly frustrated with the new U.S. administration’s lack of outreach. Diplomacy on the peninsula has largely been on the back
Washington—The Internal Revenue Service says more people without children now qualify for a larger tax break. The Earned Income Tax Credit is the federal government’s largest refundable tax credit for low- to moderate-income families and those who qualify can reduce the amount of taxes they owe and get a bigger refund. In years past, the credit was for eligible, working families but now the age bracket has expanded for lower-income workers with no children also applying for it, according to the IRS.(Snip)“There are important changes to EITC that will help this credit reach more hard-working families this year,” said IRS Commissioner Chuck Rettig.
During testimony last week, attorney Thomas Renz gave testimony on behalf of whistleblowers inside the military medical system who have access to vaccination data that is withheld from the general public. The data on adverse medical conditions that surface after vaccination within the military is contained on a system called the Defense Medical Epidemiology Database (DMED). The documents that were released to Thomas Renz are now being reviewed. The resulting information is very disturbing.
The Brooklyn public school teacher who posted an anti-cop Instagram post about the funeral of detective Jason Rivera is no longer an employee of the school. Coney Island Prep said on Sunday that Chris Flanigan, who appeared to encourage violence against cops mourning Rivera, no longer works for the school. “We do not condone or promote violence of any sort. As of this afternoon, Mr. Flanigan is no longer employed at Coney Island Prep,” Coney Island Prep CEO Leslie-Bernard Joseph said in a statement. “The teachers and staff of Coney Island Prep are public servants; and like all public servants we hold ourselves to a much higher standard,”
Will anything get President Joe Biden to quit waving illegal migrants into the US interior?Border agents are in open revolt, slamming Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and Border Patrol chief Raul Ortiz when they visited to try to boost morale. “You’re allowing illegal aliens to be dropped off in communities,” one fumed.Security contractors for the administration’s secret flights are outraged, too, with one calling the operation “the government betraying the American people.” A Post exposé got the flights to Westchester stopped, while revealing that the migrants brought in include clear adults as well as the minors
Editor's note: This story discusses suicide. If you or someone you know is having thoughts of suicide, please contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255).Cheslie Kryst, the 30-year-old winner of Miss USA 2019, jumped to her death from the 29th floor of the Orion condominium building on Sunday morning, according to the NYPD. Police were called to the 60-story high-rise in the theater district of Manhattan at 7:05 a.m. on a report that a woman jumped from a terrace.
Initial reports indicate that the crowd at the Trump Rally in Texas on Saturday night was estimated at around 50,000 people. Trump War Room reported on the huge crowd waiting to get into the event. (Tweet/Video) Former Ambassador Richard Grenell shared a video of the crowd size and you couldn’t see the people farthest away. (Tweet/Video) Taylor Budowich, the Director of Communications for Save America, shared a picture of the massive crowd. (Tweet) Even far-left reporters had to admit the crowd size was massive. Per Heavy.com: Steven Monacelli of Rolling Stone, The Daily Beast, and Dallas Weekly tweeted that there were “tens of thousands” at the event.
Hunter Biden and two business associates received a grand jury subpoena regarding their business dealings in China about 17 months before the 2020 presidential election, The Post has learned.
The order sent by the Department of Justice to JP Morgan Chase bank asked for the records of any international financial transactions for the past five years involving Hunter, his uncle James Biden and former business partners Devon Archer and Eric Schwerin, according to federal documents. The anti-corruption nonprofit Marco Polo, founded by former Trump administration official Garrett Ziegler, obtained the filing, which targets the financial ties between the four men and the Bank of China.
There is a growing eagerness on the right to talk frankly about the crisis of masculinity in America, and to defend traditional manliness against an ascendant left that wants to destroy it. A robust defense of manliness is salutary, and long overdue. But it requires defining what manliness is, and what it is for, because not everyone on the right seems to know.
For some conservatives, the conversation about masculinity has gone completely off the rails.
Democrats have complained about so-called “dark money” for a decade, but they benefited from $1.5 billion in “dark money” spending in the 2020 election, compared to $900 million for Republicans, according to a recent New York Times analysis.“Dark money” is money spent by groups outside campaigns and political parties that do not have to disclose their donors — either because they are organized as “social welfare” organizations under section 501(c)4 of the federal tax code, or as 501(c)3 charities receiving contributions from donor-advised funds that allow many donors to remain anonymous.
The US Treasury said on Friday it is considering alternatives to facial-recognition technology to verify identities for online taxpayer accounts after some lawmakers raised privacy concerns.
The $86 million partnership between the Internal Revenue Service and private contractor ID.me, which was announced in November, would be one of the biggest expansions of facial recognition software made by the US government. The measure has been met with criticism from lawmakers, who argue that the software is intrusive and inaccurate.
Representative Ted Lieu, a California Democrat, called the move a 'very, very bad idea, ' adding that facial recognition is less accurate with dark skin tones.
A same-sex penguin couple has become foster parents to a newborn hatchling in a first for an upstate New York zoo. Humboldt penguins Elmer and Lima first got together this past mating season, and built a nest together in the fall, which they have both defended from incoming predators. Their devotion to each other led officials at the Rosamond Gifford Zoo to test how the two would be as parents, using a dummy egg, before letting them take care of a fertilized egg of their own.(Snip)Some prospective penguin parents either keep the egg next to them, rather than sit on it to keep it warm, or fight
A CNN reporter who claims to be a fact-checker extraordinaire used the word “lie” 19 times in a news item about the 2020 election. The heavy-handed use of the loaded word occurred in reporter Daniel Dale’s piece about social media not being censorial enough for his liking.“Twitter says it has quit taking action against lies about the 2020 election” blairs Dale’s headline. The very first sentence reads “Twitter quit taking action to try to limit the spread of lies about the 2020 election, the company said on Friday — a day after another social media platform, YouTube, removed a Republican congressman’s campaign ad because it included a 2020 lie.”
Heriberto Fuerte-Padilla, an illegal immigrant, was driving drunk in 2020 when he smashed into the car driven by a Texas teenager, killing her. He tried to flee the scene, but police caught up with him. The Homeland Security Department initially said it wanted authorities to pick him up and deport him once Texas punished him, but then it changed its mind. Under rules issued in September by Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, Fuerte-Padilla doesn’t qualify as a priority anymore. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement also told Texas that it was canceling deportation requests—known as “detainers”—on other illegal immigrants, including some who pleaded guilty to felony charges
The CDC COVID-19 record card you get with your vaccine is too large to fit in your wallet, yet small enough to be easily misplaced.
But the little cardboard cards are becoming increasingly important if you want to get out of the house, as venues in the Twin Cities and elsewhere require that they be shown if you want to see a show or dine out. As of Jan. 19, Minneapolis and St. Paul started requiring patrons to show proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test to dine in bars, restaurants and other places where food and drinks are served.(Snip)Blinged-up vaccine card holders allow you
Longtime actor Howard Hesseman, most famous for his role as disc jockey Dr. Johnny Fever on the sitcom WKRP in Cincinnati, has died, says The Hollywood Reporter. He was 81 years old.
Hesseman died at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles on Saturday, of complications from colon surgery that he had last year.
Hesseman had many acting credits to his name. Aside from his role on WKRP in Cincinnati, for which he received two Emmy nominations, he also played history teacher Charlie Moore in the ’80s sitcom Head of the Class, in which he starred for four of its five seasons. He had many other roles and appearances on television,
CTH continues to be cautious with measured expectations around this story, because a thoroughly corrupt and politically compromised DOJ has possessed all of this information for almost a year. {GO DEEP} There will be a response. Likely a massive, coordinated and weaponized response from the totality of the most politically corrupt DC system in our nation’s history, every branch, and their aligned ideologues outside government.
If you needed a metaphor for President Joe Biden's economic recovery, or even his presidency, you just got it on Friday. The very day the president went to Pittsburgh to talk about infrastructure, a bridge collapsed.If you have a bridge on your commute, you would do well to keep an eye on whether Biden has plans to visit your town. (Snip) Yes, we are joking, of course. But the bridge metaphor works because Biden has a track record of making everything he touches worse. Between his staggeringly incompetent exit from Afghanistan and his deplorable conduct in handling the border crisis he created, Biden is really stinking up the joint.
Some experts have suggested that the omicron variant of COVID-19 could be the beginning of the end of the pandemic. In addition to its relatively low case fatality rate, cases overall are declining.
Don’t jump for joy just yet. Just because COVID may be coming to an end soon doesn’t mean mask mandates, vaccine mandates, and other COVID restrictions will simply disappear.
I hate to be cynical, but considering how leftist government officials have proven themselves unwilling to give up their COVID-era control over people, it seems likely that “life will find a way” for them to continue indulging their lust for power.
Democrats know the wipeout is coming. We see a lot of Democrats in the House retiring. 29 people have now announced they are heading for the exits. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee just added seven more Democrats to the “vulnerable” category list they have.
Meanwhile, Democrats are giving Joe Biden the cold shoulder, claiming “scheduling” issues when he comes to town so they don’t have to be seen with him. With his numbers in the basement, he’s political poison.
But now the report is that one of their big guns — DNC Chair Jaime Harrison —

Former Fox News anchor Gretchen Carlson may or may not be angling for a job on CNN if her recent comments on that ratings-challenged network are any indicationCarlson was, in part, reacting to namesake (but no relation) Tucker Carlson for raising questions about why the political/media echo chamber seems hell-bent on fomenting a war with Russia.

Republican Sen. Susan Collins of Maine said Sunday that President Joe Biden "helped politicize" the Supreme Court nomination process when he said as a candidate in 2020 that he would select a black woman to fill a vacancy on the bench should one arise.Biden said during a Democratic primary debate in early 2020 that he would nominate the first black woman to the Supreme Court and, after Associate Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer announced last week his plans to retire, the president reaffirmed his pledge to select a black woman for the highest court in the land.During an appearance on ABC's "This Week," Collins explained to host George Stephanopoulos that
Over the past few months, a string of so-called “smash and grab” robberies has cropped up across the country at businesses in blue cities like Chicago (among others) — but many seem to primarily be happening in California, as RedState covered here, here, and most recently, in late December in the Bay area. On Friday, we saw another example of the latter. [Video]

A Northern California jewelry store owner took matters into his own hands to stop a smash-and-grab robbery last Friday.
Surveillance video shows a person run into Maaz Jewelers at Tanforan Mall in San Bruno, and take a crow bar to the display case.
Former FDA Commissioner Dr. Scott Gottlieb said Sunday that a COVID-19 vaccine for children age 4 and under could be approved by early March. Gottlieb said the authorization would depend on whether federal officials move forward with Pfizer’s two-dose candidate, as opposed to the three-dose one added last month to the company’s clinical trials. The two-dose shot could presumably be approved the fastest of the two, since trials on it are further ahead, so it’s just a question of whether its potency is considered enough protection for the age group at this point, Gottlieb said. “Getting two doses into a child can provide baseline immunity that protects
Actor Michael Rapaport returned to his neighborhood Rite Aid on Sunday only to find shelves empty just days after he saw a brazen thief calmly walk out of the store with two shopping bags full of stolen goods.'Back in my Rite Aid,' he said in a video posted to his Instagram on Sunday. 'And there's nothing to steal because this Rite Aid like so many other Rite Aids is closing down because everybody stole everything. And the workers here don't know if they're getting jobs.'Congratulations, losers,' the 51-year-old actor concluded in the video, which had already garnered 20,570 views in just one hour.It came nearly one week after the actor,
This week has been eye-opening. Even for me -- and I'm the guy who has warned for over a year, in commentary after commentary, and often for three hours a day on my nationally syndicated radio show, that the COVID-19 vaccine could be dangerous and deadly and could lead to catastrophe. (Snip)
Three months ago, I was the first to warn that Americans were dropping in record numbers of heart attacks, strokes and blood clots. I titled my commentary, "If the Vaccine Is So Great, Why Are So Many People Dropping Dead?"
But even I was shocked by the plethora of stories coming out just in the past week,
Are the world’s elite tone-deaf, willfully ignorant, or truly malicious? I must contemplate this question because, on a very human level, it points to where we’ve gone wrong, and what we must do to fix it before it’s too late. I think, honestly, it’s all three. It just depends on the person whom we’re talking about and what set of circumstances we’re contemplating.
Let’s face it: There are a relative few who consider themselves “the chosen” in this world, the ones with the most money, the power-mad, the influencers.
Sarah Palin is 'just friends' with former New York Rangers hockey player Ron Duguay, a source close to the former Alaska governor insisted after the pair were pictured dining together in New York City.The source, according to People Magazine, said they became friends after they 'met through hockey'.Palin, a former vice presidential hopeful, was rumored to be dating ex-NHL player Duguay as sources told Page Six they have been involved since late last year. The pair was spotted dining outside on Wednesday night at Elio's on the Upper East Side in New York City - two days after Palin knew she had tested positive for COVID.
Two New York-based healthcare workers were arrested for allegedly forging and selling thousands of COVID-19 vaccine cards, officials said.
The Suffolk County Police Department on Long Island said on Jan. 28 that it arrested Julie DeVuono, 49, and Marissa Urraro, 44, for allegedly selling fake vaccine cards and entering that information into the New York State Immunization Information System. Both were charged with one count of forgery in the second degree, while DeVuono faces the additional charge of offering a false instrument for filing.

They charged $220 for adults and $85 for children, he said.
The White House last week leaked word of Justice Stephen Breyer’s imminent retirement. The leak forced Justice Breyer to accelerate his plan to the following day, rather than waiting until the end of the Supreme Court term in June, as typically happens.
Accelerating Justice Breyer’s plan was not an incidental outcome of the White House leak. It was the intended outcome.
And it worked, for a moment anyway. Attention has been diverted from Joe Biden’s ongoing bungling of Ukraine, the economy, COVID, the border, Afghanistan and his plummeting poll numbers, by a renewed focus on his campaign promise to nominate a black woman for the next Supreme Court opening.
True the Vote has been working with Dinesh D’Souza to create a bombshell movie that uses footage they obtained of ballot boxes in key states across America to steal the election in 2020.
100 Percent Fed Up reports – Using geo-tracking devices, True the Vote was able to take footage from drop boxes across America in key states like Georgia and others to track over 2,000 ‘mules” wearing gloves and disguises to stuff ballot boxes.

Six people are charged with grabbing thousands of dollars in merchandise in front of stunned shoppers and employees at several Twin Cities retail outlets on Nov. 26, Black Friday. "This brazen act by an organized group shocked those who witnessed it first-hand as well as the retail community and law-abiding shoppers who were out making purchases ahead of the busy holiday season," Ramsey County Attorney John Choi said Friday, when the charges were unsealed in District Court.
Charged with felony theft are Nathaniel Spears, 27, of Albany, Minn.; Raymone Wright, 22, of Minneapolis; Na'Touri K. Ross,c 19, of Minneapolis; and Shaimee N.S. Robinson-Love, 18, of Bloomington.
Republican attorneys general broadened their legal battle against President Biden’s immigration policies in a new lawsuit announced Friday that challenges a federal program to shortcut the smuggling journey and bring children directly from Central America. The Central American Minors program, or CAM, allows people already in the U.S. to petition to bring their children legally even if the parents jumped the border to get here. The Biden team says the program is a recognition of reality—the children are surging here already, usually braving a torturous trip that can involve assault, rape and sickness, so eliminating the need for that trip can save lives.(Snip)“No sovereign nation would reward those
President Trump has never been one to pull punches or side with sissies like Justin Trudeau over real men like the Canadian truckers composing the Freedom Convoy.So, it should come as no surprise that he praised the freedom convoy during his Saturday rally in Conroe, Texas.During that rally, one well-attended by thousands upon thousands of patriots and Trump supporters, he praised the Canadian truckers for defending freedom and attacking lawless mandates in a way America’s leaders haven’t, saying:“The Canadian truckers, you’ve been reading about it.

A public city school teacher posted an Instagram story Saturday that appeared to encourage violence against police mourning the murder of detective Jason Rivera, drawing outrage from members of New York’s Finest. Christopher Flanigan, who teaches math at Coney Island Prep in Brooklyn according to his LinkedIn page, posted an overhead shot of thousands of officers lining Fifth Avenue for Rivera’s funeral Friday St. Patrick’s Cathedral. The post was captioned, “5/30/20: NYPD SUV drives into a crowd of protestors. Ideal conditions for reciprocity.” The incident Flanigan referenced happened in the wake of the George Floyd police murder, when an NYPD vehicle drove through a group of Brooklyn protestors
Armed Texas homeowners are no joke.
During his final day on Earth, a home invader was taught one final lesson that could have added decades onto his life: Don’t mess with a Second Amendment patriot in Texas.
Had this particular thug been schooled on the God-given constitutional rights bestowed on every American citizen, perhaps he would have thought twice about bursting into a Texan’s home and pointing a gun in the homeowner’s face.
However, in a moment of true southern hospitality, the homeowner felt obliged to teach his unexpected guest how the Second Amendment works.
Think energy costs are high now? Just wait: President Joe Biden is doubling down on his War on Energy, and that’s sure to keep prices zooming up, up and… up. Biden’s Environmental Protection Agency is writing new rules that will raise costs for fossil-fuel-based power plants. And, as Kenneth R. Timmerman noted in The Post last week, Team Biden has also moved to kill the Eastern Mediterranean Gas Pipeline, which would’ve brought Israeli and Cypriot natural gas to gas-starved Europe, helping ease shortages there. The prez is also reviving Obama-era loan guarantees for “clean energy” producers, starting with $1 billion in backing for a Nebraska company

Like other cities run by Democrats, Los Angeles is going through an epidemic of violent crime. Its Soros-funded DA George Gascón has a lot of blood on his hands for increasing the mayhem. When he was sworn in, he said his office would not prosecute a host of misdemeanor crimes, or seek the death penalty for even the most heinous murders. No surprise that, as Broken Windows policing confirmed nearly two decades ago, tolerating “non-violent” crimes has increased violent ones.
“The data,” as City Journal’s Soledad Ursúa, reports on LA, “show staggering surges of homicides, gun violence, and sexual assaults, and one can see with one’s own eyes the open-air
Always remember, CNN is the official “fake news” narrative engineering effort of the U.S. State Department. The Washington Post pushes the Intelligence Community effort (CIA, etc.), and the New York Times push the FBI/DOJ (state police) effort.
Today in an effort to use Ukraine as a proxy state for war against Russia, the State Dept and CIA are claiming the Russians are amassing massive stockpiles of blood at the Ukraine border as they prepare for a protracted war. In response the Ukraine government tells the Biden crew to knock it off with the nonsense. This puts CNN journalists in Ukraine telling CNN journalists in the U.S.
T-Mobile US Inc. will fire corporate employees who are not fully vaccinated against Covid-19 by April 2, according to a memo to staff obtained by Bloomberg News. In the email to U.S. employees, the wireless carrier’s human resources chief also said that office employees who haven’t received the first dose of a vaccine by Feb. 21 will be placed on unpaid leave. The policy applies to all employees who need “regular or occasional” access to T-Mobile’s offices, which the company says includes almost all staff.(Snip)The vaccine rules and decision to terminate unvaccinated employees won’t apply to field technicians and most in-store retail roles,
“Israel's daily COVID-19 cases reach record 83,653,” says Wednesday’s news wire.
“COVID-19 in Israel: Serious cases increase tenfold in span of a month, continue to rise,” announces a recent headline from the Jerusalem Post.
Elsewhere we learn that Israel’s positive test rate is a staggering 29.63 percent. This means that nearly one third of all Covid tests taken by Israelis are coming back positive.
Israel is obviously a country in deep Covid trouble with the SARS-CoV-2 virus running out of control in that nation.
Revealingly, Israel happens to be one of the most heavily vaccinated countries in the world. Some 80 percent of its adult population have been double vaccinated
Arguably the USSR crumbled because everybody was lying to everybody else, so that nothing could be believed, including (especially) economic transactions.
With the Biden Administration, the US has entered this same territory. Anyone paying attention can see that the occupant of the White House lapses into dementia on a regular and accelerating basis. In moments of crisis, he is quietly sent out to have some ice cream and go shopping while the hidden hands that make the real decisions (and make them badly) take over.

'all possible nominees' for Supreme Court
vacancy: Poll replies
A new ABC News/Ipsos poll finds that a plurality of Americans view the Supreme Court as motivated by partisanship, while President Joe Biden's campaign trail vow to select a Black woman to fill a high-court vacancy without reviewing all potential candidates evokes a sharply negative reaction from voters. (Snip) During the spring 2020 presidential primaries, days before his set of big wins on Super Tuesday, Biden pledged to nominate the first Black woman to the Supreme Court, if elected. Now, with the chance to do so, just over three-quarters of Americans (76%) want Biden to consider "all possible nominees."
In this installment of their weekly Sunday Six conversation, PF Whalen and Parker Beauregard of The Blue State Conservative discuss six conclusions they can draw from the continuing crisis in Ukraine with Russia’s military buildup.
#6: The Russia Hoax narrative that President Trump was somehow beholden to Putin due to some nefarious side deals has been thoroughly destroyed. PF: The left’s storyline on Trump and Russia never held water, which is why so many of us were frustrated by the whole affair. From the beginning, there was zero evidence to support the Russia Hoax, despite claims by Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) and the hopes and wishes of the mainstream media.
COLUMBIA, S.C. — At President Joe Biden’s lowest moment in the 2020 campaign, South Carolina Rep. Jim Clyburn came to him with a suggestion: He should pledge to put the first Black woman on the Supreme Court. After some cajoling, Biden made the promise at a Democratic debate, a move Clyburn credits with turning out the Black support that helped Biden score a resounding victory in the South Carolina primary and ultimately win the White House. Two years later, the hoped-for vacancy on the court has arrived with the retirement of Justice Stephen Breyer. Biden is standing by his pledge.
In ancient times, pagans sacrificed children to propitiate angry, erratic, and inscrutable gods, hoping that giving up their most precious possessions would save the entire community. Leftists are still doing that, not just with abortion, but with their COVID policies and the madness of their decriminalizing crime.
Child sacrifice was normative across the ancient world. It was only the combination of the Torah’s proscription against human sacrifice (The Binding of Isaac, Genesis 22), combined with Jesus Christ offering himself as the ultimate sacrifice, that pagan societies eventually abandoned the practice. (snip) A few stories got me wondering if leftists are quite the rational atheists they think they are.

School sure has changed, and the recent report of a college assignment provides a perfect case in point.
At the University of New Hampshire, they’re trying to make the world a better place. That’s the reason, presumably, for an alleged assignment last summer in an “Introduction to Language and Social Interaction” course.

The victim of such sinisterness must be “a person of color,” “LGBTQI+,” or “a disabled person.”
This week the Democratic National Committee gave Justice Steven Breyer the hook, announcing that he was retiring before he’d firmly decided to do so. When he finally responded, he made clear his intention to remain on the bench until Biden’s nominee was confirmed, which at best likely will be sometime this summer if ever. As part of a deal he made with congressman and House majority whip Jim Clyburn when he was on the ropes in the primaries, President Biden promised to nominate to this significant position a black woman, and three candidates’ names -- a weak bench if the suppositions are correct -- have been
Many of the woke politicians who have pushed for student-loan cancellation are themselves hip-deep in school debt, federal records reviewed by The Post show.
Most members of “The Squad” — the coterie of socialist legislators led by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) — fall into this category. Collectively, they owe between $180,004 and $400,000 in student loans, the records show.
Rep. Ocasio-Cortez had a balance of between $15,001 and $50,000 in federal student loans as of 2020, according to her most recent personal financial disclosure.
What do we mean by the Revolution? The war? That was no part of the revolution; it was only an effect and consequence of it. The revolution was in the minds of the people.”
What did John Adams mean when he wrote this to Thomas Jefferson in 1815, after both had served as president?
Adams was saying that America, the country that took up arms and fought for its independence from the British, was already a nation — before 1775.
America preexisted the Constitution, Adams is saying. America had been conceived and born before he and Jefferson began to write its Declaration of Independence in Philadelphia in 1776.
Now neither Bill Maher nor Joe Rogan is a conservative. But what conservatives see in both of them is a willingness to pierce the veil of democratic narrative and speak some truth to power. They’re willing to say some basic truths that others with a big platform are not. Now, when the elites in control seem drunk on their power, that’s more essential than it ever was.We saw that Maher was willing to put Bari Weiss on last week, and her smackdown on COVID restrictions lit up the internet.Now, I probably don’t agree with Maher on much. But he nails — in a hilarious way — how liberals have
Former President Donald J. Trump called Peter Schweizer’s new book, Red-Handed: How American Elites Get Rich Helping China Win, “terrific” and highlighted the bombshell revelation that the Biden family received $31 million from five deals in China that were conducted with individuals closely tied to Chinese intelligence. While speaking at the Save America Rally in Conroe, Texas, on Saturday night, Trump lauded Schweizer’s investigative work in Red-Handed: A really great new book by Peter Schweizer, which is a terrific book, actually a sad book, very sad because of what it says and represents –
Parts of the Massachusetts island of Nantucket are underwater following a winter storm that lashed the Northeast with deep snow and gusts of wind close to hurricane force. In a video posted to TikTok on Saturday, homes appear to be completely stranded as a street became submerged. The houses were surrounded by cold grey water coming in from the Atlantic as a howling wind continued to blow waves ashore. (Video/Photos) (Snip) Other video showed wind and waves battering North Weymouth, south of Boston, flooding streets with frigid water. Tens of thousands of homes and businesses lost power in Massachusetts, with the failures mounting. No other states reported widespread outages.
From the time COVID started, I've been a bit of a maverick. I didn't stay home. I never have worn a mask that wasn't easy to breathe through — one thin layer, and only where I'm forced to wear it. I always believed that science would find drugs that could keep us out of the hospital — and those were, indeed, found early on. I was never scared of COVID itself. I figured if I was making healthy food and other lifestyle choices and got outdoors a lot for exercise (and believe me, it's daunting when you're the only one outdoors,
At least 10 police officers in five states — mostly in big cities — have been attacked in the last eight days. What’s especially troubling is that several of the incidents appeared to target police officers specifically.
Both criminal justice reform advocates and police unions blame the same thing: a violent crime crisis. Reformers think the violent crime spree is the result of inequality and police brutality. The cops think it’s due to lax prosecutors and spineless politicians.

Two officers died after a shooting in New York City last Friday, two were shot near St. Louis on Wednesday, three
President Donald held a “Save America” rally in Conroe, Texas, on Saturday.
He was preceded by other speakers including Texas state Attorney General Ken Paxton, who noted what great success his state has been having against the Biden mandates. When Trump took the stage, he called out what a massive crowd it was. Trump seemed in great form, with a lot of energy. Nine months from now, the people are going to send a message to the radical Democrats in D.C., Trump said, talking about the midterm elections. He praised Texas for being about family, freedom, God, and country. “And oil and guns,”
oe Biden and his Democrat allies wasted no time trying to make political hay out of a bridge collapse in Pittsburgh, a city Biden had just arrived in to discuss his infrastructure bill:
The collapse happened just hours before President Biden traveled to the area to speak at a previously scheduled event about the $1 trillion infrastructure bill he signed into law last year.
"We have been so far behind on infrastructure for so many years it's just mind-boggling," Mr. Biden told a group of elected officials and first responders during a visit to the collapse site. "...We used to be number one in the world."
