The Department of Education has allocated well over a quarter billion dollars to cover gaping school budget deficits tied to ongoing student enrollment declines, The Post has learned. The DOE will give city public schools a total of $323 million dollars this year to help them cover basic costs—including teacher salaries, according to a memo released last week.(Snip)“There are a lot of schools that have lost entire chunks of their enrollment,” said a DOE source. “That means a lot less money for the principal. So they are basically covering the salaries of teachers who they don’t necessarily need this year.” The memo states that 78 percent
President Joe Biden's administration has requested an additional $30 billion more in COVID funding to go toward the pandemic response.
Axios first reported the figure, which was brought up in a call between members of the Department of Health & Human Services and Congressional staff, adding that members of both political parties are skeptical of the amount with surging inflation and a ballooning national deficit. 'HHS's briefing today or this afternoon was a part of our regular conversations with Congress about various resources and needs including what is needed for COVID response,' White House press secretary Jen Psaki said when asked about the $30 billion figure at Tuesday's briefing.
And this matters more for 2024 than it might for 2022. The latest Mason-Dixon poll puts Ron DeSantis in the catbird seat for his gubernatorial re-election, putting him in the lead well past the margin of error against all Democratic challengers. Only former governor Charlie Crist gets within single digits of DeSantis in this poll, and Democrats’ main attack point hasn’t registered with Florida voters at all:
When matched up against his current potential Democratic challengers, DeSantis receives the support of slightly over half of Florida’s voters and his leads provide a decent cushion at this point in the race.
Sarah Palin could possibly face a legal bill in excess of $6 million, it has been claimed, if she decides to fight her case all the way to the Supreme Court, as questions remain about how her legal team is being funded.Palin, who is believed to be worth $8 to 12 million, had her defamation case against The New York Times dismissed by a Manhattan judge on Monday. On Tuesday, the jury - unaware of the judge's decision - found the former vice presidential candidate had not been defamed by the paper.The former governor of Alaska, 58, had sued the newspaper and its former editorial page editor James Bennet,
The Drudge Report spent yesterday saying war being imminent in Ukraine.
Nancy Pelosi said, "We think that an assault on Ukraine is an assault on democracy."
No, having one of your Palace Guards kill an unarmed protester in cold blood is a real threat to our constitutional republic.
She also said, "We understand the loss of life, the damage, the collateral damage to civilians, to military and the rest are severe if he decides to invade."
Good, she can send her son Paul Jr. and Biden can send Hunter to spill their blood.
President Joe Biden reminisced about his time spent serving on the New Castle County Council during an address at the National Association of Counties Legislative Conference on Tuesday. Biden told the crowd gathered at the Washington Hilton that, 'I know from personal experience how hard the job you have is.' He recalled how he represented a middle class to working class district, with 'one very wealthy neighborhood' within its confines. 'And I got a call one night, a woman said to me - obviously not of the same persuasion as I was politically - call me and say, "there's a dead dog on my lawn,"
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has invoked the Emergency Powers Act against the Freedom Convoy, and as PJM’s Paula Bolyard noted, “Among other things, the Canadian government will freeze the assets of truck owners participating in the protests and cancel their insurance policies.” Since the protests have not been violent, as Trudeau claimed, his action amounts to a clampdown on political dissent itself and a serious strike at the very possibility of standing up to a tyrannical government.
If we had a President of the United States right now who was worthy of the name, he (or she — yes, it could be Tulsi Gabbard) would regard Trudeau’s action
New York Rep. Kathleen Rice announced Tuesday she will not seek re-election to Congress, marking the 30th Democratic departure from the House headed into the 2022 midterm elections.

“I entered public service 30 years ago and never left. It has been the honor of my life to serve as a prosecutor, district attorney and US Representative in my beloved home state of New York,” she wrote. “I have always believed that holding political office is neither destiny nor a right.
An Alberta man arrested during a weapons-cache bust near the Canadian border is an 'incredibly good human being' and a single father of two, a friend says. Calgary resident Johnson Chichow Law, 39, was among 11 people charged Monday in the Village of Coutts, near the Montana border. Police seized multiple long guns, hundreds of bullets, and body armor during their investigation. Law, who was charged with mischief and possession of a weapon, looks after his two young daughters full-time and is a hard worker, a friend said.(Snip)The mayor described the individuals as outside agitators who came to town after the protest began.
Late yesterday, Michael Sussmann filed a response to John Durham’s Friday court filing that set off a media buzz over the criminal case against the former Hillary Clinton campaign attorney.
In the six-page memo filed in the D.C. federal court, Sussmann’s Latham and Watkins attorneys informed the court they had previously advised the special counsel that Sussman understood his right to consult with independent counsel and intended to waive any potential conflicts of interest. Sussmann’s filing added that he does not oppose Durham’s request that he waive those issues on the record.
Sussmann then spent the next five pages complaining about the special counsel’s filing.
Jeff Zucker’s paramour Allison Gollust resigned from CNN on Tuesday after an investigation found ‘issues associated’ with the Cuomo brothers.
CNN’s worldwide president Jeff Zucker resigned a couple weeks ago. Mr. Zucker’s relationship with Allison Gollust, the chief marketing officer for CNN, was revealed during an investigation into Chris Cuomo’s sexual misconduct.
According to Radar Online, Zucker and Gollust’s affair goes back before the two were divorced – in fact, both of their marriages ended because of the affair.
The constant push to virtue signal to the idol of social justice is causing some of our historically trusted institutions of academia, health care, and journalism to lose the public’s trust and is further splintering our nation. Minnesota seems to be in the epicenter of it all.
The Carlson School of Management at the University of Minnesota recently endowed a new scholarship to honor George Perry Floyd Jr. It’s the wrong decision and undermines the work of the civil rights movement and what we communicate to black American children across the country.
Attorneys for Michael Sussmann, the former Clinton campaign lawyer charged as part of Special Counsel John Durham’s investigation into the origins of the Trump-Russia probe, demanded that the court "strike" the "factual background" section of Durham’s latest filing, arguing it will "taint the jury pool."Durham filed a motion on Feb. 11 focused on potential conflicts of interest related to the representation of Sussmann, who has been charged with making a false statement to a federal agent. Sussmann has pleaded not guilty."Unfortunately, the Special Counsel has done more than simply file a document identifying potential conflicts of interest," Sussmann’s attorneys wrote.
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton refused to answer questions as to whether or not her presidential campaign spied on former President Donald Trump."Did you pay to spy on the Trump campaign," Hillary was asked by a Daily Mail reporter in New York City on Tuesday. "When are you going to comment on the spying allegations, Hillary?"Clinton declined to answer both questions as she simply waved at the reporter while continuing to walk inside a building.(Tweet/Video) Clinton's lack of comment comes after special counsel John Durham’s Feb. 11 filing alleging that lawyers from Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign in 2016 had paid to infiltrate servers belonging to Trump Tower, and later
P.J. O’Rourke, who has died at the age of 74, once hosted a small New Year’s party at his apartment in Washington. The year was 1990. He’d just returned from Germany, where he had covered the fall of the Berlin Wall. I expressed my sorrow that I hadn’t been there to see it. He went into his bedroom and returned with a small tin of mints. He’d emptied it—and he’d put a shard of the wall he’d pickaxed himself with his own hands inside it. “Happy New Year,” he said.(Snip)It isn’t an exaggeration to say that P.J. was, for a long time, the only cool conservative writer

A shoplifter scuffled with a security guard at a Manhattan Duane Reade Tuesday morning—a brazen theft that unfolded right in front of The Post as it reported on an earlier armed heist at the same store.
The caught-on-camera fracas took place shortly after 10 a.m. at the drug store at 410 Park Ave. South, where security guard Augustine Nwando said he noticed a shopper try to leave the store without paying for a bag full of items. Nwando shouted at the suspect to stop, leading to a scuffle that spilled out onto the sidewalk between East 27th and East 28th streets—and immediately in front of
Ottawa police chief Peter Sloly resigned from his position Tuesday, multiple reports confirmed, after weeks of continued protests against Wuhan coronavirus restrictions by Freedom Convoy truckers, a day after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau invoked emergency powers.
Sloly, criticised by many opposed to the Freedom Convoy protests over his handling of the situation in downtown Ottawa, resigned Tuesday after alleged conflicts with colleagues in the Ottawa Police Service as well as conflicts with members of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) and the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP).
Sources, according to a report from Canadian broadcaster CBC, indicated that Sloly had a short temper and berated senior police officials. He allegedly raised his voice
The Russian government claimed on Tuesday that several military units have completed “scheduled drills” along border with Ukraine and will now return to their permanent bases, bringing their armor and artillery with them.
Russian officials taunted the Biden administration by claiming the redeployment “humiliated” Western war hysterics, while Ukrainian and NATO military officials said they did not see any immediate sign of Russian forces actually pulling back from the border.
Russia’s state-run Tass news agency quoted Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Maj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov’s claim that Russian troops were packing their gear and preparing to depart on Wednesday morning.
Mayor Eric Adams unloaded Tuesday in an epic rant in which he threatened to stop fielding “off-topic” questions at his press conferences — and blasted the Big Apple’s news organizations over what he said was their lack of racial diversity.The scolding, which came before an unrelated press conference on summer youth employment efforts, appeared to be sparked by coverage of his failed bid to get state lawmakers to budge on his anti-crime agenda — although the mayor failed to convey how race factored into that.

“Well, you’re being a wise guy with me a little bit, and I understand that’s your job.”That was Joe Biden in a response to Lester Holt on Thursday night. As the NBC News anchor noted, inflation had surged 7.5 percent from January 2021 to January 2022. Back in July, Holt recalled, Biden said “no serious economist” believed unchecked inflation was on the way. Biden added that “our experts believe” the price increases were “expected to be temporary.” During his January 19 press conference, Biden fielded a question about his speech on “voting rights” and his suggestion that those who opposed the Democrats’ bill
Washington—Federal safety regulators say they will retain power to approve Boeing 787 airliners for flight rather than return that authority to the aircraft maker, which hasn't been able to deliver any new Dreamliner planes since last May because of production flaws. The Federal Aviation Administration said it told Boeing of its decision Tuesday. The FAA said that once deliveries of 787s resume, it will perform final inspections and retain power to clear each new plane until it is confident that Boeing’s quality control and manufacturing “consistently produce 787s that meet FAA design standards.” It also said Boeing must have a plan for handling planes that need reworking.
Ottawa’s police chief Peter Sloly has resigned, according to a tweet by an Ottawa city councillor.
Riley Brockington says the official announcement will be made by the Police Services Board after a meeting that’s closed to the public.
Ottawa’s police board said it would hold a public meeting to address the matter today at 2:30 p.m.
The news comes amid the ongoing protests in Ottawa against the government’s COVID-19 mandates.
Prior to becoming chief of the Ottawa Police Service, Sloly was a partner at Deloitte, as well as deputy chief with the Toronto Police Service.
Grisly new details emerged Monday in the death of Brian Laundrie, including that his scattered bones had been gnawed on by rodents and feral dogs after his death.
Laundrie, 23, died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head that caused extensive fractures in his skull, according to a newly released report by a Florida medical examiner’s office.
The single bullet entered his brain at the left temple and exited through the right, traveling slightly upward, said the full autopsy and forensic report.
Authorities recovered “the vast majority of [his] skeleton” — aside from a few bones from his teeth and his face — scattered “in plain sight,” they said.
The North Island Naval Air Station in San Diego closed its inbound and outbound gates on Tuesday after a driver tried to enter with “bomb-making materials,” officials said.

The driver, who is in the custody of the Naval Criminal Investigative Service, tried to enter the station this morning, Dixon told The Post. The driver’s vehicle was searched and the illicit materials were discovered.
Justin Trudeau (who is definitely not Fidel Castro’s son!) cannot explain the legal basis for invoking the Emergencies Act, but he’s got his finance minister out there announcing that banks can freeze your account without a court order anyway if you donate to the truckers.
After Trudeau authorized the Canadian government’s use of the Emergencies Act, giving the government much broader powers to deal with anti-vaccine mandate protests in his country, it might be useful to recall that in 2013, asked what country he most admired besides Canada, he selected communist China, even while admitting they had a “basic dictatorship.”
Things are turning, indeed, out there… out in the truck stops and the households fending off repossession and the small businesses struggling desperately for survival — even in the degenerate halls of government…
If the ads on the Superbowl each year are like a Rorschach test for the nation’s mental condition, then this year’s ad-roll was a cavalcade of frantic hallucinations suggesting a near-complete detachment from reality for an audience of ADD-disabled cell phone slaves locked into a Big Tech induced consensus trance. You could barely tell what these advertisers were trying to sell in their commercials, the psychotic dazzle of half-second jump-cuts was so ferocious.
Just four days after the Republican-controlled Kansas legislature approved the state’s 2022 congressional reapportionment map, Democrats are asking a county court to strike it down.
The complaint was filed on Feb. 14 in Wyandotte County District Court by attorneys from the Grissom Miller Law Firm of Kansas City, Missouri, and the Elias Law Group of Washington D.C. on behalf of several Kansas residents and activist group Loud Light.
The Elias Law Group is headed by Democrat election lawyer and strategist Marc Elias, who served as attorney for presidential candidate Hillary Clinton in 2016.
Elias is widely credited for engineering election law changes in key swing states that helped Democrats in the 2020 election,
A Queens man with 167 arrests on his record was busted yet again this week for shoplifting from a Rite Aid on the Upper East Side, The Post has learned. Jamel Pringle, 39, was nabbed around 8:15 a.m. Monday for stealing 48 items worth close to $430 from the drug store on Second Avenue near East 96th Street, police and Manhattan prosecutors said Tuesday. As with most of his prior arrests, he was charged with petit larceny—a misdemeanor that is not bail-eligible under the state’s new criminal justice reform law.(Snip)Pringle’s criminal history is “extensive” and includes one felony conviction, 88 misdemeanor convictions and 39 failures

Russia has started a 'hybrid war', it was feared tonight, as several key Ukrainian websites, including banks, government departments and the ministry of defence, were hit by a massive cyber attack.
Ukraine has been under constant attack from Russian and Kremlin-backed hackers since Moscow's 2014 annexation of Crimea. Cyber espionage, damage to databases and servers, disruption to power and communications and disinformation are all now routine weapons in the Russian armoury. Tonight, several major Ukrainian banks, including PrivatBank, Oschad and the State Savings Bank of Ukraine, experienced issues with transactions and mobile apps, along with other outages at the Ministry of defence and armed services websites.

WASHINGTON — U.S. intelligence officials on Tuesday accused a conservative financial news website with a significant American readership of amplifying Kremlin propaganda and alleged five media outlets targeting Ukrainians have taken direction from Russian spies. The officials said Zero Hedge, which has 1.2 million Twitter followers, published articles created by Moscow-controlled media that were then shared by outlets and people unaware of their nexus to Russian intelligence. The officials did not say whether they thought Zero Hedge knew of any links to spy agencies and did not allege direct links between the website and Russia.CORRECTIONS*
Lyme disease could become a thing of the past as scientists believe they may soon be able to stop ticks transmitting the bacterial infection. US experts have found a way of editing the genes of the spider-like creatures, which feed on blood. It opens the possibility to researchers being able to alter parts of a tick's DNA that helps them carry and transmit the disease-causing bacteria. And the discovery could pave the way for genetically-engineered ticks, which are unable to spread illness, to be released into the wild. A similar tactic has already been used on mosquitoes as part of trials to cut the spread of malaria
TALLAHASSEE — Alligator hunting could become a 24/7 endeavor under a proposal going before Florida wildlife commissioners.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission on March 2 will consider a staff proposal that would expand, at most locations, the daily hours for the next alligator hunting season to 24 from the current 17 — 5 p.m. to 10 a.m.

For years the leftist media and Democrats have issued warnings about "threats" to American democracy and yet, much of it was projection.

In other words, they were spying.

Joe Biden continues to show dismal favorability across the country with only four states giving him a higher approval than disapproval score and key swing states' approval averaging in the low 30s.
The president's approval rating nationally sits around 40 percent, according to several tracking averages, but a new CIVIQS poll showed it sitting at 34 percent from the 165,786 respondents surveyed.
His disapproval is at 57 percent and 9 percent neither approve nor disapprove in the dire poll results revealed on the day new data showed wholesale inflation surged by 9.7 percent last month.

Prince Andrew has reached a legal agreement that include(s) an undisclosed settle(ment) with a woman who has accused him in court of sexually abusing her as a teen, according to news reports Tuesday. The settlement with plaintiff Virginia Giuffre will reportedly lead to a dismissal in the case being brought in Manhattan federal court.
Giuffre and Andrew will file a stipulation to dismiss the case inside of the next month, according to court papers filed on Tuesday.
An unsigned letter included in the settlement filing acknowledged Giuffre has suffered for years as a result of being trafficked by the late Jeffrey Epstein, with whom Andrew consorted for years.
Wholesale inflation in the United States surged again last month, rising 9.7 percent from a year earlier in another sign that price pressures remain high at all levels of the economy. The producer price index for final demand, which measures inflation before it reaches consumers, jumped 1 percent last month after climbing just 0.4 percent in December, the Labor Department said on Tuesday.
Companies facing higher wholesale and raw materials costs have shown no hesitation to pass along the higher prices to consumers, and the latest data suggests that further increases are coming at the retail level. With consumer price increases hitting a 40-year high of 7.5 percent
For two years, Americans have been partially or entirely deprived of fundamental freedoms — of assembly, speech, religious liberty, making a living, a child’s right to an education, access to early treatment for a potentially deadly virus, and more — for the first time in American history. That half of America, especially its elites, has either made peace with or supported these deprivations of freedom is why many of us worry about America’s future as a free society.
Even more concerning have been the reactions of America’s great religions — specifically, Catholics, Protestants, Mormons (Latter-day Saints) and Jews. The government issued irrational (as well as anti-religious and unethical) edicts and

With revelations from the Durham special counsel's investigation that the Hillary Clinton campaign in 2016 paid tech executives to spy on the Trump campaign, the Trump residence, and then the Trump presidency, many political watchers think significant indictments are probably coming as a result of it.

With the entire Russiagate affair exposed as a Clinton campaign fabrication, it’s the clear duty of The Washington Post and New York Times to give back the Pulitzers they won for “reporting” the fake news. Clinton campaign cash ordered up the “Steele dossier,” with Democratic operatives providing some of the rumors and a cynical Russian exile asking buddies to supply rank speculation for the rest.

But that message stands at stark odds with briefings out of Washington overnight that Russian troops are actually being moved closer to the border -
Former President Donald Trump ripped the ”LameStream” media Monday for its failure to cover allegations by special counsel John Durham that Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign paid an internet company to spy on Trump.“Can you imagine that, what should be the biggest story of our time, bigger than Watergate, is getting absolutely no mention, ZERO, in the New York Times, Washington Post, ABC Fake News, NBC Fake News, CBS Fake News, ratings-dead CNN, and MSDNC,” the former president said in an emailed statement from his Save America PAC.“This in itself is a scandal, the fact that a story so big, so powerful, and so important
The Silent Coup

Ever since President Trump came down the golden escalators to announce his candidacy for president of the United States, many professional and even casual observers of politics and history have wondered just what was going on in the events that followed. (snip) Now it is clear for all to see, the Deep State was running a coup against Donald Trump. A coup against candidate Trump. A coup against President-elect Trump. And a coup against President Trump while in office. The Deep State, including the Fourth Branch of government (the intelligence apparatus), went after Trump from the moment he came down the escalators
If we’ve learned anything from the inhabitants of Planet Looney Tunes over the last couple of years, it is this: Anything and everything the left doesn’t like is racist, misogynistic, or worse.
And by “racist,” we’re talking systemic racism — which is tied to white supremacy and the ridiculous notion that all white people — at birth, solely because of the color of their skin — are inherently racist, and for which, they must atone by living proactively anti-racist lives.
And, as if we haven’t laughed at these people enough, they now tell us that eating meat is “all of the above.”
Last week, two memes started in response to Justin Trudeau’s authoritarianism. Let’s Go Brandeau! is a thing now. It’s a brilliant frozen-north variation of Let’s Go Brandon. The second was the tongue-in-cheek claim that Justin Trudeau is the illegitimate love-child of Fidel Castro. AP and The New York Times refuted this claim. I don’t know which is funnier, the meme or the fact-checking clowns at AP and NYT.In any event, on Monday, Trudeau channeled his inner Castro and invoked emergency powers. He’s shutting down protests that don’t align with his autocratic, authoritarian mandates.
A technology expert shot back at special counsel John Durham in response to claims that he "exploited" access to internet traffic to build a narrative of collusion between former President Donald Trump's 2016 campaign and Russia.As Trump and his allies argue that Durham has found a "far bigger crime" than what happened in the Watergate scandal, “Technology Executive-1," known to be former Neustar Senior Vice President Rodney Joffe, issued a statement via a representative to combat the "allegations" made in the special counsel's recent court filing.
The White House on Monday refused to be drawn into the growing controversy over claims that Hillary Clinton's allies tried to smear Donald Trump, and whether internet data collection amounted to spying. Three times Joe Biden's principal deputy press secretary was asked whether the president had any concerns about campaigns hacking into opponents' computer systems to gather dirt.And three times during the White House daily briefing Karine Jean-Pierre referred all questions to the Department of Justice.
Washington Post, New York Times should
give back their Pulitzers for Russia-Trump ‘reporting’ replies
give back their Pulitzers for Russia-Trump ‘reporting’ replies
With the entire Russiagate affair exposed as a Clinton campaign fabrication, it’s the clear duty of The Washington Post and New York Times to give back the Pulitzers they won for “reporting” the fake news. (snip) Their Pulitzer awards say the papers “dramatically furthered the nation’s understanding of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election and its connections to the Trump campaign.” Now everyone knows they only “dramatically furthered” a smear.
Show a shred of decency, and give your Pulitzers back.
The Biden administration doesn’t want a judge to release a report on Dominion Voting Systems equipment in Georgia, claiming that doing so would “threaten election security,” Just The News reports.
The report was written by the Director of the University of Michigan Center for Computer Security and Society, J. Alex Halderman. Halderman was previously profiled in a video by the New York Times back in 2018 when he demonstrated to a group of students how easy it would be to rig a voting machine.
In the 2018 video, Halderman demonstrated how voting machines are “dangerous” and “obsolete” by holding a mock election with University of Michigan students.
