Moments in Our History’
Posted By: Imright, 2/12/2022 5:36:35 PM
Former Gov. John Kasich (R-OH) said Thursday on CNN’s “The Situation Room” that the House Select Committee investigating the riot on January 6, 2021 at the U.S. Capitol was important because it is getting to the bottom of “one of the darkest moments in our history.”Guest-host Jim Acosta said, “As you know, the top-secret designation means if those documents were released, it could cause grave damage to national security, so what’s your reaction to this report? Can you imagine removing top-secret documents from the White House?” Kasich said, “When you talk about top-secret information, there were times I had to deal with it being on the Armed Services Committee.

WASHINGTON— President Joe Biden related a faulty Democratic talking point about guns in his first State of the Union speech, made his plan on electric vehicles sound more advanced than it is and inflated the sweep of his infrastructure package. On several fronts, he presented ambitions as achievements.A look at some of his claims Tuesday night and a glance at the Republican response: COVID-19 -BIDEN: “Severe cases are down to a level not seen since July of last year.” THE FACTS: Biden overstated the improvement, omitting a statistic that remains a worrisome marker of the toll from COVID-19. While hospitalizations indeed are down from last summer, deaths remain high.
Exxon Mobil said it will pull its $4billion Russian oil and gas operations and halt new investments as a result of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The decision, which was made on Tuesday, will see Exxon pull out of managing its large oil and gas production facilities on Sakhalin Island in Russia's Far East. This decision puts the fate of a proposed multi-billion dollar liquefied natural gas (LNG) facility there in doubt.'We deplore Russia's military action that violates the territorial integrity of Ukraine and endangers its people,' the company said in a statement critical of the intensifying military attacks
President Joe Biden stumbled through his State of the Union address on Tuesday, flubbing several lines from his prepared text and ad-libbing lines that did not make sense. Here is a list of his biggest mistakes:
1. Biden mistakenly says “Iranian people” instead of “Ukrainian people.”“Putin may circle Kyiv with tanks, but he will never gain the hearts and souls of the Iranian people,” he said in his speech.According to his prepared text, he was supposed to say “hearts and souls of the Ukrainian people.”
2. Biden refers to “a pound of Ukrainian people” Biden referred to “a pound of Ukrainian people.” His prepared text said “proud.”
President Joe Biden used his State of the Union address on Tuesday night to call on Congress to “secure the border,” after his administration allowed roughly 1.5 million migrants to pour across the southern border in his first months in office.In remarks as prepared for delivery, Biden planned to say: And if we are to advance liberty and justice, we need to secure the Border and fix the immigration system. We can do both. At our border, we’ve installed new technology like cutting-edge scanners to better detect drug smuggling. We’ve set up joint patrols with Mexico and Guatemala to catch more human traffickers.

CLAIM: During his State of the Union (SOTU) address on Tuesday evening, President Joe Biden claimed his administration is “actually” ensuring that “taxpayers’ dollars support American jobs and businesses.”VERDICT: MOSTLY FALSE. Biden’s infrastructure bill signed into law last year provides giant federal carve-outs for industries to outsource and offshore American jobs.“When we use taxpayer dollars to rebuild America — we are going to Buy American: buy American products to support American jobs,” Biden said:
The federal government spends about $600 Billion a year to keep the country safe and secure. There’s been a law on the books for almost a century
Donald Trump lashed out at the media and Republican 'warmongers' in an angry statement on Tuesday for 'misrepresenting' his comments calling Russian President Vladimir Putin a 'genius' for invading Ukraine.The former president blamed 'Biden, NATO, and the West' for Moscow's unprovoked attack on its neighbor and accused them of doing nothing while Putin declared two breakaway separatist regions of Ukraine to be independent republics, which then allowed their pro-Russia leaders to invite the Kremlin's troops.It comes as reports indicate President Joe Biden will close United States airspace to Russian planes
Texas voters on Tuesday night chose GOP Governor Greg Abbott as their nominee for governor.Incumbent Greg Abbott won the Republican nomination for governor Tuesday night with more than 50% of the vote to avoid a runoff.“Republican Gov. Greg Abbott is again his party’s nominee after a commanding win over a band of challengers from the far right, including Allen West — a former Florida congressman.” AP reported.
Voters in Texas will set the tone for the beginning of the 2022 midterm election cycle with the first regularly scheduled primaries taking place Tuesday.Voters will decide if GOP Gov. Greg Abbott will represent the party again, or if he will face a runoff later in the spring, and will decide similar fates for Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick and Attorney General Ken Paxton. Key congressional races throughout Texas will also help determine the future of the GOP, with proxy wars playing out in several, particularly in the eighth congressional district in a battle between Morgan Luttrell and Christian Collins.
Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot announced the Windy City will temporarily suspend its sister city program with Moscow to show support for Ukrainians. Lightfoot, 59, announced on Tuesday that she asked World Business Chicago - an economic development agency - 'to suspend Chicago’s sister city relationship with Moscow' in light of Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine last week. 'While this is not a decision I enter into lightly, we must send an unambiguous message: we strongly condemn all actions by the Putin regime,' she said on Tuesday.
President Biden is expected to announce a ban on Russian planes in US airspace during his State of the Union address on Tuesday, sources told the Associated Press.
The US would join Canadian and European aviation authorities in the ban, which comes amid growing sanctions and backlash against Russia due to the invasion of Ukraine.

Sen. Joe Manchin called on President Joe Biden to ramp up domestic energy production to curtail the United States's reliance on Russian oil and gas imports, accusing the White House of pushing “hypocritical” policies.The West Virginia Democrat said in a statement late Monday that the U.S. importing about a half-million barrels of oil products from Russia a month poses a “clear and present danger to U.S. national security." The “entire world is watching as Vladimir Putin uses energy as a weapon in an attempt to extort and coerce our European allies,” said Manchin,
President Joe Biden has reinstalled a fence around the United States Capitol ahead of his State of the Union (SOTU) address on Tuesday evening, even as he has frozen U.S.-Mexico border wall construction for over a year.The U.S. Secret Service worked with the U.S. Capitol Police to reinstall the fencing that had originally been installed for Biden’s inauguration in January of last year. Capitol Police Chief Tom Manger said the fencing has been reinstalled “out of an abundance of caution.”The fencing comes even as Biden continues to block the construction of border wall on the U.S.-Mexico border, which has been overrun by record-setting illegal immigration levels

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie launched into former President Trump with dismay over his comments describing Vladimir Putin as 'very savvy' and a 'genius.' Christie, a former close advisor to Trump who trained him for his debates in 2020, wrote on Twitter: 'How can anyone with any understanding of the world call Putin's decision to invade Ukraine "genius" and "very savvy" as we watch him unite the rest of the world against Russia in nearly an instant?'
Russia's invasion of Ukraine has triggered aggressive sanctions the world over-even typically neutral nations like Sweden and Switzerland have joined the European Union's sanctions plan to starve and isolate the Russian

President Biden will promote a new “988” crisis hotline and outline funding to combat the harmful effects of social media when he devotes a portion of his State of the Union Address to the “unprecedented mental health crisis” in the country, the White House said. The three-digit hotline is available in some parts of the country, but a July launch will make it available nationwide as part of an interconnected network of local crisis centers that can respond to calls and texts. Mr. Biden plans to propose nearly $700 million in funding in his fiscal 2023 budget to “staff up and shore up” local crisis centers.
The U.S. government has been advising Americans to social distance during a possible nuclear attack, according to a bulletin last updated Feb. 25, 2022.
As part of the bulletin’s warning, individuals are told to get inside to the nearest building to avoid radiation and remove contaminated clothing that could have come in contact with debris when the fallout from the attack occurred.
“Go to the basement or middle of the building,” the government advises. “Stay away from the outer walls and roofs.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) on Monday announced that he has denied a request for the state’s National Guard to deploy to the nation’s capital for President Biden’s Tuesday State of the Union address, ensuring that the Florida National Guard will not be sent to Washington, DC.The Biden administration last week requested assistance from state National Guards ahead of Tuesday’s speech. The request coincides with hundreds of National Guard members being activated in the D.C. area ahead of the address to assist with traffic and security. Florida’s National Guard, however, will not participate.
President Joe Biden’s nominee to replace Justice Stephen Breyer on the Supreme Court, Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, apparently refuses to use the term “illegal alien” in her court opinions, opting instead for “noncitizen.”
In a handful of immigration-related cases that Jackson has ruled on U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, she has made a note to employ the term “noncitizen” or “undocumented non-citizens” rather than the terms “alien” or “illegal aliens” that are regularly used in court and in federal statutes.
Kamala Harris just took dumbing down to a whole new level. During an appearance on the syndicated “Morning Hustle” radio program, Harris was asked by co-host Headkrack to explain the conflict “in layman’s terms for people who don’t understand what’s going on and how can this directly affect the people of the United States?” Speaking slowly, Harris began, “So, Ukraine is a country in Europe.” “It exists next to another country called Russia,” she continued. “Russia is a bigger country. Russia is a powerful country. Russia decided to invade a smaller country called Ukraine. So, basically, that’s wrong, and it goes against everything that we stand for.”
President Biden will give his first State of the Union address Tuesday night, marking the most consequential speech of his lifetime as U.S. inflation soars and Eastern Europe devolves into war.
While State of the Union speeches tend to concentrate on domestic issues, Russian President Vladimir Putin’s decision to launch a full-fledged invasion of Ukraine despite Biden’s repeated threats of economic sanctions has brought the U.S. president’s foreign policy agenda into central focus.Putin ordered his nuclear forces on high alert Sunday after the U.S. and other Western nations announced that they would remove selected Russian banks from the SWIFT international financial messaging system.
In recent years, words and ideas used to describe discrimination against members of historically marginalized and disadvantaged groups have seemingly exploded into the lexicon: systemic inequality, privilege, white supremacy, the patriarchy, etc.
In some senses, the apparent novelty is deceiving: most of these concepts have been around for decades in academic and activist circles.(Snip)For instance, given that the shifts became increasingly pronounced in 2012, one might assume they are straightforwardly a response to the killing of Trayvon Martin. However, it is harder to explain why we see similar changes in discussion and public attitudes with respect to sexism, homophobia, transphobia, Islamophobia and antisemitism–all at roughly the same time

Western film icon Sam Elliot might be next on the regressive left’s list of “people to cancel this month” because he expressed some wrongthink about the American Wild West and gays. I know this sounds confusing. Let me explain. On a recent episode of Marc Maron’s podcast, Elliot made some scathing remarks about the film The Power of the Dog,(Snip) Elliot is of course trending on Twitter, with the usual woke suspects calling for his head because no one is allowed to say “Hey, not everything is gay,” or criticize a woman for trying to force gay stuff into a western.
A watchdog group is calling for an ethics investigation into Sen. Richard Blumenthal's (D., Conn.) sale of shares of Robinhood, the brokerage company at the center of the "meme stock" speculation frenzy last year.
The Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust (FACT) on Monday requested that the Senate Select Committee on Ethics probe Blumenthal's sale of Robinhood shares worth up to $2.5 million. Blumenthal, one of the wealthiest members of the Senate, failed to disclose the trades within the 45 days required under federal law, the Washington Free Beacon reported.
A new era at CNN is set to begin after the ouster of longtime head Jeff Zucker, who stepped down last month, and the naming of his replacement could signal an overhaul at the network which has struggled to draw viewers since former President Donald J. Trump departed from the White House.On Monday, initial reports of the new boss were confirmed when it was announced veteran producer Chris Licht had been tabbed by Discovery CEO David Zaslav to replace the scandal-drenched Zucker who during his nine years at the helm, managed to trash what was once one of the most highly renowned news operations in the nation
A couple of years after former President Trump made significant gains in often Hispanic-majority Democrat counties along the United States-Mexico border in Texas, a wave of Democrats in one particular community are switching parties to join the GOP.
In Terrell County, Texas, the New York Times reports that multiple elected officials are opting to run — for the first time — as Republicans rather than as Democrats in a “quiet political upheaval” across U.S. border towns, fueled mostly by rising crime and constant waves of illegal immigration. The Times reports:
First, the Democratic county judge said she would seek another term — as a Republican. Then the county clerk and the treasurer decided that they too would abandon
