I’ve really gotten to know President Donald J. Trump over the past six years since he came down that escalator. I was the first to predict he’d be the next President of the United States (at Fox News on the day Trump announced in June of 2015). I was the first to compare him to Ronald Reagan and predict Trump would become the greatest conservative president ever. I was the first to predict he’d create the most jobs in history for blacks and Hispanics (in a Fox News editorial before he was elected). I was the media personality who called Trump the greatest world leader in history for Israel
If you are looking for something to lift your spirits, a video showing kids at a Las Vegas elementary school jumping out of their seats, bursting into cheers, screaming, and dancing in joy after learning they no longer have to wear a mask to school should do the trick.Whereas cranky-pants leftists think it’s too soon to lift the Clark County School District mask mandate, the children are thrilled by it. The news came on Thursday after Democratic Governor Steve Sisolak announced the end of the state mask mandate.
Former President Donald Trump slammed New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman - and gave her a new nickname - for reporting that he's told people he's still in touch with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un. 'Yet another fake book, by a reporter who knows nothing about me, Maggot Haberman of the New York Times, is making up stories about my relationship with foreign leaders,' Trump said in a statement Friday. 'She claims I speak with Kim Jong Un of North Korea, but not other world leaders. Wrong!' Trump's message came after Haberman's reporting was shared by Axios Thursday and also revealed
President Joe Biden posed for selfies with staff at the White House on Friday before flying out for a weekend at Camp David, leaving Washington minutes after his administration told Americans to leave Ukraine in the next 48 hours.Video of him working the rope line on the South Lawn showed a president at ease even as three thousand more U.S. troops were on their way to the region and officials warned of impending bloodshed.

During an interview with the Daily Signal on Thursday, Republican Senator Rand Paul urged the trucker convoys to come to the United States to “clog up cities.”
“I’m all for it,” Paul said to The Daily Signal. “Civil disobedience is a time-honored tradition in our country, from slavery to civil rights, to you name it. Peaceful protest, clog things up, make people think about the mandates.”“And some of this, we started,” the Senator continued. “We put [COVID-19] mandates on truckers coming across the border from Canada so they put mandates on, and the truckers are annoyed. They’re riding in a cab by themselves, most of them for eight, 10-hour

President Joe Biden's administration has urged Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's government to use its federal powers to end the Freedom Convoy demonstrations blockading key border crossings to protest Canada's COVID-19 restrictions.On Friday the blockade halting traffic at the Ambassador Bridge crossing connecting Windsor, Ontario to Detroit entered its fifth day, disrupting the flow products between the two countries and threatening to shut down production at several US auto plants.

On Thursday’s CNN Tonight, host Laura Coates went on an unhinged rant over the battle in Congress to renew the so-called “Violence Against Women Act” (VAWA). Coates also lashed out at the National Rifle Association (NRA) for blocking the “boyfriend loophole” which would prevent someone who is convicted of a misdemeanor or felony from owning a firearm regardless of whether the couple is living together or not. “It's frankly unbelievable that we even need to have a Violence Against Women Act, but we do.
A heavily-armed Taliban fighter stood eye to eye with Aman Khalili, suspiciously scrutinizing the former US forces interpreter who helped Joe Biden's 2008 rescue in a bleak snow-filled valley in Afghanistan.As the fanatic flicked through mugshots on his cell phone, Khalili knew that if his face popped up, he was dead, and his wife Amina and five of their children traveling with him would probably be killed as well.He was a hunted man who would be a trophy for the new regime that swept up the country in the wake of President Joe Biden's chaotic withdrawal.But after a few terrifying seconds,

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has said that 'everything is on the table' to end the Freedom Convoy demonstrations blockading key border crossings to the US, after speaking directly with President Joe Biden. 'President Biden and I both agreed that for the security of people and the economy, these blockades cannot continue,' Trudeau said at a press briefing.

The Biden administration is putting out new details on its effort to create 500,000 electric vehicle charging stations–with new efforts to push out funds to have them line interstates at 50-mile intervals. The administration is awarding $5 billion over five years to states to have them build thousands of electric vehicle charging stations. Another $2.5 billion will go out in grants to be decided later. It all comes from the $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure plan that was enacted late last year and that the administration continues to sell, amid the collapse of Biden's Build Back Better plan. The charging stations would work with all electric vehicles

A majority of New York City residents say they agree with COVID-19 vaccine mandates–and they’re angry with the minority who refuse to get jabbed, a survey released Thursday shows. Residents polled by the CUNY Graduate School of Public Health said the coronavirus vaccine should be required for people who work in service industries and schools, and should be a mandate for indoor activities and airplane travel. More than half of New York respondents—54 percent—said they are angry with the small percentage of residents who have refused to get vaxxed.(Snip)“The mask lifting heightens the need to get vaccinated,” said Dr. Aymen El-Mohandes, dean of
A new Toyota commercial featuring Colin Kaepernick claims the former NFL quarterback's controversial national anthem protest was a "sign of respect to the military."

The commercial also calls Kaepernick a "two-time Super Bowl quarterback," which is false. Kaepernick appeared in one Super Bowl, a 34-31 loss to the Baltimore Ravens.
With COVID deaths now topping 910,000, the Biden administration and the rest of the Democratic left are deciding to ease up on their mandate regime. We need to learn to live with COVID, they say – repeating advice President Donald Trump issued back in October 2020.
We’re all for ditching the left’s COVID police state, even if Democrats’ reason is political, as we pointed out in this space yesterday.
But that leaves us with a question: Was any of it worth it? Did any of the guidelines, mandates, orders, shutdowns, cancelations, lockdowns do anything to alter the course of the disease, or

Earlier this week, U.S. Capitol Police Chief Tom Manger released a statement in response to a complaint from Rep. Troy Nehls (R-Texas), who says the USCP illegally entered his office, took photos, and later interrogated his staff. According to Manger, “The weekend before Thanksgiving, one of our vigilant officers spotted the Congressman’s door was wide open.” As such, Manger said it is the responsibility of the USCP to document the incident and secure the office.
There’s just one problem with this explanation: (snip) This is the exact door @CapitolPolice claims their officer found “wide open” on that Saturday.
The door automatically closes. See for yourself.

After shunning her native country and choosing to compete for China, many have questioned US-born Olympic freeskier Eileen Gu’s true allegiances. However, there is one group that Gu proudly associates with, Black Lives Matter.
In March of last year, the California native gave an interview to the South China Morning Post, in which she called herself an “ally” of Black Lives Matter. In the article, Gu lamented the rash of anti-Asian hate crimes occurring across the country. Gu said that she and her grandmother had fallen victim to such an attack.
