Justice Sonia Sotomayor warned on Wednesday that the hyper-partisan state of politics has taken the country to the brink of crisis when it comes to nominating justices to the Supreme Court. She laid out her fears during a virtual event with New York University, amid calls to reform the nation's highest court and as the confirmation battle to fill Justice Stephen Breyer's seat looms.'I have concerns that we might be in crisis as norms in the nomination process are broken,' she said, according to CNN.'As norms of the nomination process are broken, as more senators, congressional representatives, governors, mayors, local politicians and the media question the legitimacy of the court,

Hillary Clinton is expected to speak at the New York State Democratic Party Convention in an attempt to 'galvanize the party', sources claimed, as speculation mounts that she will run again in the 2024 presidential election. The former Democratic presidential candidate is anticipated to speak in front of the party leaders at the Sheraton hotel in New York next week, people familiar with the event told CNBC.
'She's beloved by the mainstream members of the Democratic Party and her popularity is likely higher than that of President Biden,' a source, who said Clinton is set to speak at the event, told the news outlet.
Walmart has started securing high-priced steaks inside locked metal cages amid rising crime rates across the U.S., a new viral video has revealed. Michael Fromhold, from Florida, was stunned when he noticed that the meat at his local Walmart had been locked up in what appears to be a rather dramatic attempt to prevent people from stealing it. Michael took a video of it and shared it to TikTok where it quickly went viral - gaining more than four million views in a matter of days - and the clip lead some viewers to lament the fact that such measures have become necessary.
Rhode Island is currently represented by two Democrats, but with this upcoming November midterms dominated by a record amount of retirements, it's possible that a likely red wave could change that. Among those dozens of Democrats heading for the exits is Rep. James Langevin, who has represented Rhode Island's 2nd district since 2001. On Friday, former Mayor Allan Fung, who has also run for governor, entered the race, as reported by WRPI. "We need a different type of leader in D.C.," An email from Fung with the subject headline "I'M BACK" read. "We need a problem solver. We need leaders who are willing to work

I’ve written how liberals like Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Ottawa city councilor Diane Deans have been trying to blame Americans for the protests in Canada. After trying to smear their fellow Canadians as racists, they’ve now moved on to suggest that it’s Americans behind it all, to negate the opinion of their fellow Canadians and deny that yes, it’s Canadians who are doing this.Both CNN and Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer are now taking that a step further, and trying to blame “right-wing media.”“Right-wing media is really fueling it,” CNN’s Brianna Keiler claimed.
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. The White House took pains to say that Biden would be kept abreast of developments at the presidential retreat.And an official told DailyMail.com he was due to speak to Putin on Saturday.
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

Joe Biden has tapped an LGBTQ+ activist, drag queen “pup” fetishist to be the deputy assistant secretary of Spent Fuel and Waste Disposition in the Energy Department’s Office of Nuclear Energy.
The Politico reported the news on Thursday: (snip) Sam Brinton, according to his profile on an LGBTQ website, has “a dual Master’s degree in engineering systems and nuclear science and engineering from MIT.”
In his spare time, Brinton also enjoys roleplaying as a “pup handler,” and talking about having sex with animals. His drag queen alter ego is “Sister Ray Dee O’Active,” The National Pulse reported. Brinton is reportedly the son of Southern Baptist missionaries
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. 'Make no mistake, the border cannot and will not remain closed.' 'Everything is on the table because this unlawful activity has to end, and it will end,' Trudeau said, declining to offer specifics on a police action at the Ambassador Bridge, which is now widely expected after the provincial premier of Ontario
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
Sam Brinton (“they/them”), had some “pretty BIG news” for his friends and followers on LinkedIn recently: “I have accepted the offer to serve as the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Spent Fuel and Waste Disposition in the Office of Nuclear Energy for the Department of Energy. In this role I’ll be doing what I always dreamed of doing, leading the effort to solve the nation’s nuclear waste challenges.” Brinton also noted proudly that he would “even be (to my knowledge) the first gender fluid person in federal government leadership.” He is much more than that. He is, to the best of my knowledge, the first drag queen and the first person
As buzz builds about who will push for the 2024 presidency in both major parties, one of the most unlikely names continues popping up in the news.
Hillary Clinton is making headlines as she sets up speaking engagements, shows up to campaign events, and sells merchandise poking fun at onetime rival Donald Trump.

Veteran GOP strategist Karl Rove is under fire hours before he is set to speak at a major gathering of Republicans in Missouri, Breitbart News has learned, all while his failures on redistricting nationwide become clearer.
Rove, who is scheduled to keynote the Missouri Republican Party’s Lincoln Day Dinner in St. Louis on Saturday night, is a senior adviser nationally to a group called the National Republican Redistricting Trust (NRRT). The GOP redistricting group NRRT, Rove wrote in a 2021 op-ed for the Wall Street Journal announcing his appointment to it, “was formed in response to Democratic efforts organized in 2016
Atlanta—A federal cybersecurity agency is reviewing a report that alleges security vulnerabilities in voting machines used by Georgia and other states and says the document shouldn’t be made public until the agency has had time to assess and mitigate potential risks. The report has been under seal since July in federal court in Atlanta, part of a long-running lawsuit challenging Georgia’s voting machines. Its author, J. Alex Halderman, said in sworn declarations filed publicly with the court that he examined the Dominion Voting Systems machines for 12 weeks and identified “multiple severe security flaws” that would allow bad actors to install malicious software.
The U.S. Army unveiled a plan this week to tackle issues surrounding climate change, including the establishment of an electric vehicle fleet, as well as the reduction of the branch's greenhouse gas emissions.
The plan, outlined by the Army in a document titled "Climate Strategy," calls for the service to cut its emissions by 50% by 2030 from 2005 levels and reach net-zero emissions by 2050. The strategy aims to establish an "all-electric light-duty non-tactical vehicle fleet by 2027" and an "all-electric non-tactical vehicle fleet by 2035."
"There are 950 renewable energy projects supplying 480 megawatts of power to the Army today … scoped and planned through 2024," the Army strategy stated.

CNN analyst Juliette Kayyem hastily backtracked her Thursday call for Canadian truckers participating in the protests against the Liberal government's coronavirus policies to have their tires slashed."Earlier today, I tweeted something that has been used by others to suggest I was promoting vigilantism. I was not. People have the freedom to protest. Governments have the responsibility to protect public safety. That was what I intended to say," Kayyem tweeted late Thursday evening. (Tweet) Earlier in the day, Kayyem railed against the truckers, declaring their protest an "economic and security issue," and calling for them to be stopped.
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
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.
The bridge, which connects Windsor, Ontario with Detroit, Michigan, is North America's busiest international land border and usually carriesaccommodating 27 percent of the approximately $400 billion in annual trade
