As talks over a return to the 2015 Iran nuclear deal continue, Congress is upping scrutiny of President Joe Biden’s efforts to forge an agreement with Tehran that some argue needs provisions that extend for longer and stronger terms to contain the regime’s malign regional activity.
Twice last week, Biden’s envoy on Iran appeared in private hearings before Congress, a ratcheting up of pressure that points to fissures inside the Democratic Party over the policy.

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. The former first lady, New York senator, secretary of state, and defeated 2016 Democratic nominee is back in the spotlight as President Joe Biden stumbles.

New Mexico could become the latest state to take a hard look at financial questions swirling around Black Lives Matter.
The state's top lawman, Democratic Attorney General Hector Balderas, vowed to go after any charity that takes advantage of donors, and his spokeswoman said the office is working on "securing compliance" with the social justice charity. "Our office will investigate and pursue action against any charitable organization that refuses to comply with reporting requirements, or that takes advantage of donors," said Jerri Mares, a spokeswoman for Balderas's office.

When Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer retirement was leaked by leftist activists in order to force the issue, President Biden was immediately confronted by demands to honor his pledge during the 2020 presidential campaign to appoint a black female to his first vacancy on the Supreme Court. When Republicans objected that this race and gender litmus test is unconstitutional, many of the Left replied that Biden is simply doing what Ronald Reagan did when he promised to appoint a woman to the court and later appointed Sandra Day O’Connor to the court in 1981. If one follows leftist “logic,” if Reagan violated the constitution, we can too.

A top Republican who was censored and temporarily suspended by Twitter for controversial statements about a transgender government official said the platform dealt with him in a contradictory manner and unfairly targeted him as a conservative.
Republican Rep. Jim Banks of Indiana had his official Twitter account temporarily suspended for a few weeks in October for allegedly misgendering Department of Health and Human Services assistant secretary for health Rachel Levine, who is a transgender woman. According to a screenshot posted of the censored tweet, Banks said “the title of first female four-star officer gets taken by a man,”

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Attorney General Ashley Moody filed an amended complaint saying the Biden administration’s latest immigration policy is unlawful.
The new policy, called "Parole + Alternatives to Detention," releases illegal immigrants within the borders of the United States without starting a legal process for removal. The complaint states that federal immigration officials are assisting migrants in resettling around the country and that the Transportation Security Administration is “accepting immigration arrest warrants as identification sufficient to board a domestic flight.”
“The Biden administration has not only consciously refused to enforce immigration laws, but it has also developed an operation to secretly resettle illegal aliens into communities across Florida

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.

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.

A pregnant New Zealand journalist who covered the fall of Afghanistan to the Taliban is speaking out about how the Islamist group, which is widely criticized for its treatment of women, offered her a helping hand when she needed a place to stay after her home country rejected her entry.
Charlotte Bellis, a Christchurch native who was deployed to Afghanistan by Al Jazeera, wrote a column published in the New Zealand Herald that said she returned to her base in Doha, Qatar, in September, after which she realized she was pregnant. Since it is illegal to be pregnant and unmarried in Qatar,

The VP tweeted a tribute to the six million Jews who were slaughtered as she landed in the country.
She wrote: 'Today, we honor the six million Jews and other victims murdered by the Nazi regime during the Holocaust. We must teach our children the truth about the atrocities of the Holocaust, so that together we give meaning to that timeless pledge: never again'.

President Joe Biden delivered remarks Thursday on the retirement of Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer - and confirmed he would select a black woman to be Breyer's replacement, which prompted Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell to immediately stoke fears the president would select someone endorsed by the 'radical left.'
'Our process is going to be rigorous. I will select a nominee worthy of Justice Breyer's legacy of excellence and decency,' Biden said. 'While I've been studying candidates' backgrounds and writings, I've made no decision except one: the person I will nominate will be someone of extraordinary qualifications, character, experience and integrity.'

And when his radical base tells him to jump, Sleepy Joe asks, "how high?"
