Former President Trump endorsed GOP candidate Katie Arrington on Wednesday in her bid to unseat Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.), who has blamed Trump for causing the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.
Trump, in a statement via his Save America PAC, knocked Mace, calling her “an absolutely terrible candidate” who has been “disloyal” to the Republican Party. He also said the congresswoman’s “remarks and attitude have been devastating for her community, and not at all representative” of the GOP.
Discovery and AT&T (TBB) received a long-awaited green light from the Justice Department on Wednesday, driving the two companies closer to completing Discovery's takeover of WarnerMedia.
AT&T is planning to spin off CNN and the rest of WarnerMedia in the coming months, at which point Discovery will merge with WarnerMedia, creating a new juggernaut of streaming and cable content.
The final necessary step is a vote by Discovery shareholders. It is expected to take place in the coming weeks, and is regarded as a formality. The spin-off and merger is likely to take effect in April, according to executives with knowledge of the matter.
Here’s a question for alert readers: when was the last RCP-tracked poll that put Joe Biden’s job-approval deficit in single digits? Contemplate that for a moment before I answer it, especially in light of today’s numbers. Byron York noticed that Biden’s floor is now officially below 40%: That 15-point gap didn’t come out of nowhere. The last national poll tracked by RCP with a single-digit gap in Biden’s job approval came last week from the Economist/YouGov tracking poll (45/49). If that was the good news, relatively speaking, the bad news is that the same tracking poll
Marjorie Taylor Greene accidentally used the word 'gazpacho' – which is a cold Spanish soup – when meaning to accuse House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of using Capitol Police as Nazi 'gestapos' to spy on GOP lawmakers.The Republican Georgia congresswoman insisted in an interview with One America News on Wednesday that United States Capitol Police (USCP) are being used as 'political pawns' and Pelosi is 'sending them into our offices' to take pictures and snoop around.She said Pelosi is also having them probe visitors who want to meet with members of Congress.
So, it looks like the White House is doing damage control on CrackPipeGate. After The Washington Free Beacon published a report on a grant being offered by the Department of Health and Human Services that would fund, in part, the distribution of crack pipes to “underserved” communities, the Biden administration faced outrage coming from conservatives and others. Even Snopes tried to come to the White House’s rescue.

NPR was ridiculed on Wednesday for its take on emojis and how some can supposedly denote white privilege.
The article, headlined "Which skin color emoji should you use? The answer can be more complex than you think," claimed that white people using the common yellow-handed, thumbs-up emoji can actually suggest ignorance of white privilege. Its authors were Alejandra Marquez Jans, Asma Khalid and Patrick Jarenwattananon. "I completely hear some people are just exhausted [from] having to do that. Many people of color have to do that every day and are confronted with race every day,"

It really happened.Democrats and their media lackeys are so certain of this that they will not allow anyone to inspect the voting machines.** In Arizona Democrat Secretary of State Katie Hobbs argued that Maricopa County would be forced to replace their Dominion voting machines if they were inspected by investigators. The machines were so delicate that they can never be audited. That’s weird?Also in Arizona election workers were caught on video deleting “archived” files before the machines were turned over
Queens is being hit hard by a dramatic surge in thefts this year—almost topping levels not seen since the NYPD started compiling statistics decades ago—and business owners are calling on cops to step up. As of last Sunday, the borough had recorded 1,236 grand larcenies in 2022, which is only a few dozen shy of the tally logged during the same period in 1993, the earliest for which records are available, when 1,326 major thefts occurred, a Post analysis of police data shows. A store manager of JMart on Main Street in Flushing told The Post his store loses up to $2,000 on any given day. “I’ve never seen
At a State Department briefing last week, Team Biden spokesman Ned Price chided an Associated Press reporter who wanted some evidence for his claims on Russia: “I’m sorry that you’re doubting the information that is in the possession of the US government.”This epitomizes the administration’s attitude towards the press and the public. President Joe Biden and his appointees talk as if Americans are obliged to trust him solely because he won the November 2020 election.In his inaugural address last year, Biden proclaimed, “Each of us has a duty and a responsibility
The system is working — in this alleged crook’s favor. A robbery suspect with 59 busts under her belt has been through a revolving door of arrests — and avoided jail again this week for yet another mugging, cops say. Serial purse snatcher, Nicole Green, 46, who was picked up on a robbery charge Monday was freed by a Manhattan judge that day, after DA Alvin Bragg’s office asked for supervised release, the Post has learned.The latest charges come just days after she managed to dodge a stay in jail last Thursday for violating terms of her release in another robbery case by missing a court-mandated hearing.
A White House official warned reporters to not even “think about” asking President Joe Biden questions as the president began a round table event at the White House on Wednesday.Biden was meeting with CEOs of energy companies in an effort to push his Build Back Better agenda, which is dead in the water in Congress. Reporters began shouting questions to Biden as he concluded his opening remarks and staffers began herding the press corps out of the room. White House pool reporters say one aide was concerned Biden would start taking questions. The aide warned a reporter, who was lingering in the room.“Don’t think about it, Matt,” she said,

When Democrats regained control of the Virginia House of Delegates in November 2019, one of the first things they did was pass a law that says school officials do not have to report misdemeanor crimes – specifically singling out “sexual assaults” – to law enforcement. Two years later, with Republicans back in control of that chamber, Democrats do not support its repeal.Former Democratic Governor Ralph Northam signed off on the law in February 2020. Schools are currently not required to report to police misdemeanors related to instances of sexual battery, assault, violent threats, stalking, drug and alcohol violations, and more.
On Jan. 6, 2021, social media influencer Brandon Straka ran a thriving nonprofit organization with a massive following, had a game plan for red-pilling Democratic minorities, and was personally invited by President Donald Trump to attend a rally.It all came crashing down when Straka was seen standing on the East Lawn of the Capitol filming people, out of view from the violence and chaos seen around the world. Straka unwittingly became one of the event's most famous defendants when he was arrested two weeks later by a SWAT team that he says treated him as a terrorist.He is now confined to his home, claims he has been placed on
After a week in the half into the Canadian trucker convoy protests against vaccine mandates, the closest the Biden administration has in response is acknowledging the situation to the north as it stands, rather than having concrete solutions readily available.It was earlier on in January of this year that trucking companies warned about the impact of a vaccine mandate on their particular industry. But White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki on Tuesday sidestepped that in describing the Biden administration’s response to the matter, by talking about how vaccine mandates have gone through overall.

Donald Trump tore into Mitch McConnell on Wednesday and said he does 'not represent the voice of the Republican Party' after the Senate Minority Leader called January 6 an 'insurrection' and criticized the censure of Adam Kinzinger and Liz Cheney.The former president attacked his GOP nemesis for doing nothing to stop the Biden administration, the 'fraudulent election' or the 'persecution of political opponents' in a scathing statement on Wednesday - deepening divisions in a party on the brink of civil war.

In the dead of winter, thousands of Canadians have been streaming into Ottawa, led by a massive convoy of truckers protesting draconian Covid mandates that have harmed their ability to earn a living. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau refused to meet with the protesters and slammed the freedom convoy as “an insult to memory and truth.” Fils Justin thus invites memories of himself and Trudeau père.
As Edward Gibbon noted, hereditary rule is always the most risible, and apart from the connection with his father, Canadians would be hard pressed to find any merit in Justin Trudeau his own self. He has no scholarly achievement, no record of publication, and
NASA’s days aren’t numbered but it’s billionaires with aspirations of conquering other planets that are capturing people’s imagination and changing the trajectory of American exploration of outer space.
Congress is aware that Americans thinking about a return to the moon now picture billionaires in corporate offices leading the charge instead of NASA’s Mission Control Center, according to Sen. Maria Cantwell, Washington Democrat. At a Senate hearing for oversight of NASA, Ms. Cantwell told NASA officials that she has witnessed a shift in people’s thinking about the government’s role in space exploration. She said it doesn’t do the government a great deal of service. “I think somewhere this image
The US postal service (USPS) is facing the mounting fury of the Biden administration, Democratic lawmakers and environmental groups over its plan to spend billions of dollars on a new fleet of gasoline-powered mail delivery trucks that critics say will upend a White House goal to slash planet-heating gases. The USPS has outlined plans to spend $11.3bn on as many as 165,000 new delivery trucks over the next decade to refresh what is one of the largest civilian vehicle fleets in the world. The familiar boxy white trucks with red and blue stripes will be replaced by a new design that has been likened in appearance to a duck.
It’s official. Joe Biden has reached another record in his unpopularity. On Wednesday, February 9, 2022, the Democrat’s approval rating dropped into the 30s. Four new polls found him at 41, 40,41 or 38. The Real Clear Politics (RCP) average plummeted to 39.8 (with his disapproval up to 54.4).By way of comparison, George W. Bush didn’t drop into the 30s until well into his second term, March 2, 2006. How will journalists react to this terrible news? For these new polls, Ecomoist/YouGov, Rasmussen, Politico/Morning Consult and IBD/TIPP, the network morning and evening newscasts in the last week simply ignored them

Any proliferating “narratives” the Biden administration deems “false or misleading” qualifies as a “terrorism threat” according to a recent National Terrorism Advisory System bulletin released by the Biden administration’s DHS, and has received sharp backlash online after warning that Americans are expressing unwelcome beliefs on issues such as the Chinese coronavirus and election fraud pose “an ongoing threat to the nation.”The bulletin, issued on Monday by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), addressed the “Terrorism Threat to the U.S. Homeland.”In it, the country is described as being in a “heightened threat environment” due to f

What in God's name is Mike Pence doing? And for Pence, I do mean in God's name.
Is Mike Pence a traitor to conservatives? Is Pence trying to become the next John Dean, the Watergate traitor? Is Pence trying to be just like Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger? Is Pence really a part of the Deep State? Has Pence sold out President Trump for 30 pieces of silver? Unfortunately, it appears that some of the answers to these questions could be "yes."
Unbelievable. Mike Pence has apparently sold out President Trump, MAGA Nation, and the America First agenda. Why is it that Democrats never turn on Democrats,

Outgoing Democratic Rep. Jim Cooper of Tennessee sat down for an interview with a local newspaper on Tuesday to give his thoughts on upcoming elections and the future of the Democratic Party in his state.
Cooper's predictions were far from optimistic, as he said that the party is "facing extinction" in Tennessee and claimed that Democrats have no strategy to appeal to rural voters. "As usual, Democrats are not alert to future dangers," Cooper lamented to the Nashville Scene.
A growing group of moms from across America — and across the political spectrum — have created a covert network dedicated to combating critical theory pedagogy in private schools accredited by the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS), and are setting out to destroy what one mother calls the “head of the snake.” The central goal of the group is to expose and put a stop to political indoctrination in their children’s schools, declining academic standards, and opaque school governance and financial management — which they believe stems from NAIS.The moms are of a variety of political leanings — some of whom told Breitbart News they have “maxed out”

In Ottawa, authorities have declared a state of emergency over the parked big-rigs, and are now issuing threats to any Canadians who seek to bring supplies to the protesters.
Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson declared a state of emergency Sunday afternoon as approximately 500 trucks and vehicles with the “Freedom Convoy” continue to linger in the streets of the Canadian capital to protest vaccine mandates.
“Declaring a state of emergency reflects the serious danger and threat to the safety and security of residents posed by the ongoing demonstrations and highlights the need for support from other jurisdictions and levels of government,” the city said in a statement.
More than three dozen House Republicans are demanding that President Joe Biden submits to a cognitive test and outlined their concerns about his fitness for office in a searing letter sent on Wednesday.
Thirty-seven GOP lawmakers signed onto the letter, written by former White House physician Rep. Ronny Jackson. 'The American people should have absolute confidence in their President. They deserve to know that he or she can perform the duties of Head of State and Commander-in-Chief,' the letter, obtained by Fox, states.(Snip)It comes after recent polling showed a growing number of Americans having doubts about Biden's mental fitness.
We can understand if Dr. Anthony Fauci, the uber-scientist who knows it all, did not enjoy his Monday coffee as he opened the morning newspapers. Three thousand miles away, Big Tech social media cops who now control with an iron hand every American conversation in the public square (no differently from Mukhabarat police organizations of the Middle East) were similarly having a bad start to the week.
Gov. Philip Murphy of New Jersey, a liberal Democrat in one of the bluest states, had just announced a return to a life of normalcy. Students, teachers, and employees in state schools would no longer be required to wear masks.

Remember those little bulletins that Mike Pence carried around, enjoining us all to to take “fifteen days to stop the spread”? I think we’re at about day 750 now.

US Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg claimed on Wednesday that Florida Republicans' controversial Parental Rights in Education bill could drive up LGBTQ youth suicide rates if it's implemented. It's part of an all-out offensive the White House seems to have mounted against the legislation, which President Joe Biden denounced as 'hateful' on Tuesday evening. Republican lawmakers in the Sunshine State are working to pass a bill that bans discussion of sexual orientation or gender identity in state public schools from kindergarten through fifth grade. It also encourages parents to sue school districts that promote talking about such issues.(Snip)Buttigieg, the first openly gay official to lead a department within

On Tuesday night, radio host Monica Matthews of Clear Talk Media tweeted a communication allegedly between two officials at The Lovett School — a prestigious private K-12 school in Atlanta. It immediately got a lot of attention on Twitter and raised a lot of eyebrows. It’s easy to see why.
The communication purports to be between two officials at the school and says it is a “preliminary list” of many parents who have been deemed “insubordinate.” One staffer wrote that she was “disgusted by some of these parents” and talked about the “need to prioritize our efforts as some have too much influence.”

The COVID-19 Pandemic is now officially over. If you want to be specific, it has gone from ‘Pandemic’ to ‘Endemic’ but that’s not really a new thing when you think about it.
The mainstream media would have you believe that COVID being in the ‘Endemic’ phase is a relatively new period. One that they’re not sure how to handle because, if they were to explain it to you, they fear they would lose control over the narrative. After all, endemic means ‘forever’.
Sounds scary, but COVID has only been something to fear for those who allowed it to cause fear.

There’s no denying the influence various forms of media have on society. Sometimes the effect is benign, like the influence it has on what kind of toothpaste you buy, but sometimes it can have deleterious effects that alter the movement of history. Of course, in human things, pure objectivity may be a goal beyond our reach. Everything we write and read must have some element of bias. We come from particular intellectual traditions, after all, and we are informed by them. But shouldn’t a newspaper ostensibly designed for the mere purpose of delivering the news remain as objective as possible? Shouldn’t we be left guessing about
