Biden isn’t even pretending that anything other than race and sex are the most important metrics for his Supreme Court choice. And of course, the usual RINOs couldn’t agree more with quotas for the Supreme Court. Perhaps these out-of-touch politicians would do well to pay attention to the American people, though, because Americans think it’s a terrible idea to make intellectual qualifications the least important thing. Lindsey Graham, a man of tremendous charm and no backbone, has already surrendered on the issue. When he heard that J. Michelle Childs, a U.S. District Court Judge from South Carolina, was on the short list, Graham couldn’t have been more excited.

Quelle surprise! How many times have we seen this old, tired act?

More Graham-bashing. Ho-hum. So just to play devil’s advocate, here’s a question: Which other Senator carried more water for President Trump?

Ron Johnson, for one. 76 percent of the population want all candidates considered for SCOTUS. This is the constitution , not a bingo card.

Yeah, we know what a great job FJB did with his vp pick. Loser clown car administration. He is picking someone to replace a lib on the SCOTUS. Not really that much of a big deal. If he was replacing one of the conservative members I would be more concerned. No matter who he picks I hope that person realizes they are representing our CONSTITUTION and not a particular subset of Americans. Fat chance with that.

'carried more water'?? ......talked a big game and did very little of substance. Actually was more of the knife holder for his RINO buddies. More like the scabbard for the knife that was used to stab Trump in the back.

In an ideal real world, where truth and justice prevails, everything done by Biden since Election Fraud Day is automatically null and void. That goes for the Kenyan Fraud too. Both of them, including Hillary, should be in prison, NOW!

"Which other Senator carried more water for President Trump?" Which other Senator encouraged the capitol police to open fire on the Trump supporters on January 6?

What do you expect a Senator from South Carolina to say about a potential nominee who is a United States district judge of the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina, serving in that role since 2010. She previously served as a state circuit court judge based in Columbia, South Carolina. She moved there after her police officer father was killed, and her mother moved the family to South Carolina. She stumbled into law, and has a varied educational background, per Wikipedia: She earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Management, cum laude, in 1988 from the University of South Florida[5] and a Juris Doctor from the University of South Carolina School of Law in 1991.[6] Childs also earned a Master of Arts degree in personnel and employment relations from the University of South Carolina School of Business in 1991.[6][7] Plus, it would certainly be nice to see a break in the Yale/Harvard/Princeton cabal that dominates the judicial system: Education:University of South Florida (BA), University of South Carolina (MA, JD), Duke University (LLM)

Well when a Republican President nominates an individual for a seat on the Supreme Court, that President can be sure in this hyper political era that no Democrat Senators will vote for that nominee. But when a Democrat President nominates an individual for a seat on the Supreme Court, that President knows that he can get any nominee confirmed with Republican support for his nominee, as all that Democrat President has to do is nominate an individual from a State that has one or two Republican Senators to be almost completely certain that those Republican Senators will vote for that Democrat nominee, especially if there is a gender or race factor involved. We already see that scenario in play with Biden’s probable current Supreme Court nominee.

At the beginning of January, Justin Trudeau, the Prime Minister of Canada, posted a message on Twitter in which he announced that he had just received his Covid vaccine booster and urged others to do likewise. At the end of January, Justin Trudeau posted a message on Twitter in which he announced that he had tested positive for Covid-19. Astoundingly, at the conclusion of his message Trudeau urged everyone to get the shots even though they failed to protect him from the disease.

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.

Neil Young (76), better known as “and Young,” was the first. A few days later, there were rumors that Barry Manilow (78) followed, but he appeared to deny them via Twitter on Friday afternoon. The same day, before the Denny’s early bird special expired, Peter Frampton (71) appears to have joined “and Young’s” tenuous movement. Let’s call it, “Boomers for Censorship.” If you’re not aware, earlier this week, “and Young” threatened to remove his music catalogue from Spotify if the corporate media behemoth did not remove the “Joe Rogan Experience” podcast from its platform.

Have you noticed the dwindling shelves at the grocery store? Are you still waiting on product orders placed months ago? In our household, this is a regular observation. School uniform items like pants and shirts that we ordered for our children last Summer took the better part of four to five months to arrive, and we were left scrambling for approved apparel for them to wear to school this past Fall. This phenomenon is not limited to school uniforms or grocery items either.
The January 6 Narrative is Starting to Unravel 31 replies

The Democrats and the propaganda ministry have tried to portray the events of January 6 as the greatest assault on democracy… in like, forever. But it seems like that narrative is starting to unravel. The unraveling began when many people began to suspect that the whole thing was a setup and started looking into it. It wasn’t law enforcement or MSM journalists investigating -- they could be controlled. It was amateur citizen investigators using the power of the internet.

The power of government rests on ignorance of the people, and it knows this, and therefore will always resist enlightenment. Leo Tolstoy Every nation has its fair share of people with no useful abilities, yet harboring considerable ambition and an insurmountable craving for la dolce vita. The longing is there, but with no means for its realization. So, what they to do? Sooner or later the mediocre find a workable solution: they go into politics. A sufficiently high position in a government structure that doesn’t require any special abilities or talents gives an nearly assured opportunity to receive lucrative benefits, including money, respect, and influence.

A day ago, Vice-President Kamala Harris sat down for a wide-ranging one-on-one interview with NBC’s Craig Melvin. Melvin asked Harris about the Biden administration's lack of progress in the fight against COVID-19. He inquired why they haven't updated guidelines on masks since public health officials acknowledge that cloth masks are not as effective as KN95s and N95s masks. Harris was also asked about Biden’s divisive rhetoric on the Voting Rights Bill during his speech in Atlanta and why the administration hasn’t been able to convince moderate Democrats to vote for their bill.

Supreme Court Does Joe Biden's Dirty Work

Joe Biden’s vaccine mandate for companies with 100 or more employees officially went into effect on Monday and companies are scrambling to figure out how to force employees to comply. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court is sitting on its hands, refusing to rule, and compelling employers to enforce Biden’s totalitarian mandate. On December 15, 2021 a three-judge panel for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit ruled that the lower Louisiana federal court only had the authority to block the mandate in the 14 states that had actually filed suit

There is a real possibility that the European Union (EU) will endure major fuel shortages this winter. Record-high electricity prices are currently the norm with no end in sight. Russian president Vladimir Putin astutely understands that the EU heavily relies on Russian natural gas, which the Nord Stream 1 and now 2 (NS2) natural gas pipeline will provide. This $11 billion line to the German coast spanning 764 miles under the Baltic Sea will double the capacity of Russian natural gas and be used as a geopolitical leverage point against Ukraine, Poland, NATO, the EU, and most of all Germany, the largest economy in the EU.

It started in Chicago, where an incredible 91% of union teachers voted to go on strike and refused to do what they get paid to do, which is teach. Then the union walkouts spread to Maryland, New Jersey and California. Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot, a liberal Democrat, has attacked the Chicago teachers unions for "holding kids hostage." She is right. Why doesn't she call a state of emergency and disband the union to save the children from the union terrorists? Or tear up the contract because the unions have violated it? If she did, she would be a hero.

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.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell countered former President Donald Trump on Tuesday saying those charged with crimes for the January 6 Capitol attack shouldn't have their sentences shortened. 'What we saw here on January the 6th was an effort to prevent the peaceful transfer of power from one administration to the other, which had never happened before in our country,' McConnell said at a press conference with GOP leaders. 'My view is I would not be in favor of shortening any of the sentences for any of the people who pleaded guilty to crimes.'

She could be America’s next Olympic darling — a stunning 18-year-old skier who signed with Victoria’s Secret and plans to attend Stanford after she vies for gold in Beijing. But Eileen Gu won’t be competing for the US. Instead, in a move that’s baffled members of the American skiing community, San Francisco-born-and bred Gu has joined Team China. (Snip) “She became the athlete she is because she grew up in the United States, where she had access to premier training grounds and coaching that, as a female, she might not have had in China,” Hudak told The Post. “I think she would be a different skier if she grew up in China.

Generally speaking, I am not a fan of polls. For one, I’ve never been polled by anyone. For another, the number of people being polled often strikes me as too small a sample from which to draw broad conclusions. Also, those samples more often than not tend to oversample one group, Democrats, let’s say, over another group, which again leads to questions of accuracy. Bottom line, I don’t trust ‘em and tend to ignore them in preference to the only poll that actually counts, the election itself. I’ve often asked myself, what would I do if I were to be contacted to participate in a poll.

Reporter Pete Williams said, “Christopher Wray said when he became FBI director, the sheer amount of Chinese spying to steal American technology was a huge surprise.” Wray said, “This one blew me away. And I’m not the kind of guy that uses words like ‘blown away’ easily. We are opening a new China-related counterintelligence investigation about every 12 hours. We probably have over 2,000 of those investigations.” He continued, “There is no country that presents a broader, more severe threat
