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

The committee in the US House of Representatives investigation the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021 said in a court filing Wednesday it believes that former President Donald Trump violated 'multiple laws' in his attempt to overturn the 2020 Presidential Election. The court document was filed in federal court in Los Angeles as part of the U.S. House of Representative Select Committee's dispute with John Eastman, a lawyer who advised Trump on a plan to invalidate election results in key battleground states. Eastmann is behind the notorious 'coup memo,' which argued that former Vice President Mike Pence had unilateral power to overturn Trump's loss to Joe Biden.
Former President Donald J. Trump seems quite happy with the results of Tuesday’s GOP primary in Texas.“Big night in Texas! All 33 candidates that were Trump endorsed have either won their primary election or are substantially leading in the case of a runoff. Governor Abbott and Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick have won in a landslide. Thank you, and congratulations to all!” Trump declared triumphantly in a statement shared online by the Save America political action committee.In a follow-up to his victory lap, Trump said, “All 33 Trump-Endorsed candidates won last night in Texas, or are substantially leading. Big night!
President Joe Biden drew ire from Democrats and Republicans alike during his first State of the Union address, and it was surprisingly on the same issue.Pivoting off the topic of COVID-19, Biden attempted to transition into a plan for the future that would unite Americans. He brought up the deaths of New York Police Department officers Jason Rivera, 22, and Wilbert Mora, 27, who were killed in the line of duty after being ambushed on a domestic disturbance call.Biden left out the ambush stating, “They were responding to a 911 call when a man shot and killed them with a stolen gun.”
It’s not exactly news that Whoopi Goldberg is a lunatic. After all, this is the same person that was suspended from her television show for two weeks after she suggested (multiple times) that the Holocaust wasn’t predicated on race. I guess she thought Adolf Hitler just didn’t like the little hats the Jewish men wore or something? But, if you thought that episode might produce some levity in the Hollywood star, think again.Oh, who am I kidding? No one thought that, so when Goldberg entered orbit over Lauren Boebert heckling Joe Biden at the State of the Union, it was completely expected. Here she is ranting and raving,
President Biden said Wednesday that he’s open to banning Russian oil imports as he accused Moscow’s invading troops of intentionally targeting residential areas in Ukraine. Biden, facing calls to sanction Russia’s lucrative energy exports, indicated his willingness to go further after claiming Tuesday night in his first State of the Union address that “we prepared extensively and carefully” to respond to Russia’s attack.Critics slammed Biden last week for implementing initially limited sanctions as tanks rolled across Ukraine’s borders and as Russian jets bombed targets across the former Soviet republic.
Joe Biden on Wednesday delivered remarks on his infrastructure law in Superior, Wisconsin fresh off of his disastrous SOTU address.Biden started off his visit to Duluth-Superior by visiting the “deteriorated” Blatnik bridge, which connects Superior, Wisconsin and Duluth, Minnesota.Joey is obsessed with bridges. (Tweet) Nurse Jill spoke first and told the crowd: “You were right to put your faith in Joe Biden a year ago.”VIDEO: (Tweet/Video) Joe took the stage and started off his speech by talking about an irrelevant story about how Nurse Jill drew hearts on his office windows one Valentine’s Day.
Moscow has admitted that nearly 500 of its troops have been killed and 1,600 more have been injured in its first report of casualties from fighting since President Vladimir Putin ordered Russia's savage invasion of Ukraine.The figures, released on Wednesday, come days after Russia claimed it had not suffered any casualties in the war.The Kremlin has engaged in a propaganda campaign designed to favourably mould the narrative through state-owned media channels, but has insisted its losses are considerably lower than the figures offered by Ukraine. Ukrainian authorities have said more than 5,800 Russian soldiers have been killed in the last week
A parent of a Marine who was killed during the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan blasted President Joe Biden on social media after he did not mention the 13 service members who were killed by a suicide bomber during his State of the Union.Shana Chappell, the mother of Marine Lance Corporal Kareem Nikoui, said in a lengthy statement, Biden did not mention the 13 troops because he knows their blood is on his hands and "You don’t even care!": "[Joe Biden] did you already forget that you put 13 kids in flagged draped coffins you piece of
A haunting video shows a Russian mother trying to explain to her tearful daughter why they have been detained by armed police for opposing Vladimir Putin’s war.They went to put flowers at the Ukrainian embassy in Moscow, and the children handed in ‘No to War’ posters they had drawn. But the mothers and children were all detained.Sociologist Alexandra Arkhipova told of her horror when mothers Ekaterina Zavizion and Olga Alter and their children Sofya Gladkova, seven, Liza Gladkova, 11, Gosha Petrov, 11, Matvey Petrov, nine and David Petrov, seven, were held by Russian officers.

Wednesday on Fox Business Network’s “Mornings with Maria,” former President Donald Trump ripped President Joe Biden over his poor approval ratings.A recent ABC News/Washington Post poll showed only 37% of adults in the United States approve of the way Biden is handling his job.Citing the rising crime, especially in “Democrat-run cities,” Trump said he didn’t believe that many people approved of the president’s job in office thus far. He argued that the United States “is going to hell” under Biden.“First of all, I don’t believe 37% because if you believe that he has got 37%, that means that 37% of the people in this country approve
Embattled Wyoming Republican Rep. Liz Cheney, scorned by her party for working with Democrats on the Jan. 6 riot investigation, linked the tumultuous event to Russia’s attack on Ukraine in a bid to get people to focus on problems larger than political infighting. Speaking this week to members of the centrist Republican Ripon Society, she said, “Some things have to matter,” pointing to the violent Capitol protest of President Joe Biden’s election certification and the fight for democracy in Ukraine.“If I could sum up both the lessons of what's gone on since Jan. 6 and the lessons of what's happening in the world today as we watch Russia invade Ukraine,
Vladimir Putin's barbaric invasion of Ukraine has sparked horror and outrage around the world with leaders lining up to denounce the Russian despot.NATO, the EU and their allies have been providing weapons and military hardware to Ukraine while imposing harsh sanctions on Russia intended to cripple the economy. But many countries have refused to condemn the military action which has already cost the lives of hundreds of civilians, deciding to preserve their own historic or trade links with the world's largest nation.They are trying to maintain a balancing act, fearing the consequence of upsetting Russia while not stirring up protests back home and losing Ukraine as an ally,

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has caused confusion with her reaction to a moment during President Joe Biden's State of the Union speech on Tuesday. Biden was speaking about the dangers soldiers faced in Afghanistan and Iraq when Pelosi's response to this topic sparked debate on social media. Biden said one of the dangers was soldiers breathing in toxic smoke from burn pits while at their bases. At this moment, Pelosi began to rise to her feet while rubbing her knuckles together and smiling. Applause can also be heard from the crowd. This moment has been viewed over 1.5
U.S. Rep Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said President Joe Biden's State of the Union address 'left a little to be desired' for Democrats because he did not push issues like renewable energy, student loan debt, education or immigration. The New York Democrat said Biden's speech on Tuesday, where he focused on COVID recovery and the conflict in the Ukraine, failed to capitalize on moving away from Russian oil by committing to green energy. 'I think it was a lost opportunity,' Ocasio-Cortez, 32, told MSNBC. 'There is profound bipartisan support to a long-term shift away from fossil fuels.'
She added that Biden had glossed over issues of 'crisis in education,'
Former President George W. Bush recalled some of his memorable interactions with Russian President Vladimir Putin, while discussing how the Russian president miscalculated the invasion of Ukraine at an event Tuesday night in Chicago. 'I introduced Vladimir Putin to Barney, our Scottish terrier, and [Putin] dissed him.(Snip)'So we're watching him try to reinstate Soviet hegemony,' Bush said. But he miscalculated by going into Ukraine, the ex-president said. 'He picks weak people to do that,' Bush said. 'He thought Ukraine was weak, but it's not. Ukraine is showing a backbone and a spine that this world sorely needs to see.'
Republican Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert heckled President Biden Tuesday at his first State of the Union address — making rare breaches of etiquette to show their disapproval of various Biden policies.Greene (R-Ga.) made faces and muttered throughout Biden’s roughly one hour speech, particularly when he spoke about administering COVID-19 vaccines to children — but Boebert (R-Colo.) earned greater gasps for slamming Biden’s Afghanistan exit by invoking the deaths of 13 US troops in an August bombing at Kabul’s airport.Many of Greene’s utterances were inaudible to reporters,
President Joe Biden kept up his hits on Russian President Vladimir Putin Wednesday–blasting his 'unprovoked' attack on Ukraine and invoking Jan. 6th as he said Putin had failed in his effort to divide' the United States. 'Vladimir Putin was counting on being able to split up the United States,' Biden said in a speech in Superior, Wisconsin. 'Look, how would you feel if you saw crowds storm and break down the doors of the British Parliament and kill five cops, injure 145? Or the German Bundestag or the Italian Parliament?' he asked. 'I think you’d wonder. Well that’s what the rest of the world saw. It’s not who we are.
Zi Faámelu was born and raised in Crimea, an area of Ukraine that was invaded and taken over by Russia in 2014. Now the 31-year-old lives in Kyiv, the capital city that has been under Russian siege for nearly a week. She is running out of food and hasn't left her house for days as gunfire erupts outside.
And she says she can't leave.
Faámelu, who is transgender, said that transphobia is pervasive in the city and neighboring countries, and fears that if she leaves, the tension of the ongoing conflict will make her more susceptible to violence.
Ever since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the western public has been carpet bombed with the claim that Russian president Vladimir Putin is some sort of unhinged madman. This notion is being feverishly spread by the establishment and those in its pay: the political class, the media and the commentariat, career diplomats and technocrats as well as those connected to the security and intelligence communities.
The most remarkable thing about the Mad Vlad claim is that it is obviously false.
Whatever Vladimir Putin may be, he is certainly no irrational madman.

One year into his presidency, it seems like Joe Biden and the Democrats in Washington, D.C. have sent the country back in time to the late-1970s and early 80s, “when runaway inflation was hammering families, a violent crime wave was crashing our cities, and the Soviet army was trying to redraw the world map,” Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds said Tuesday night, in the official Republican response to Biden’s State of the Union address.
Speaking in front of the Iowa state capitol in Des Moines, Reynolds attacked Biden’s international and domestic record, and she made the case for putting faith in the American people. Dressed in red and wearing

Seems the election takeover by Mark Zuckerberg's minions in Wisconsin has now been declared 'bribery' by Wisconsin's special counsel, who was appointed to investigate the state's 2020 election.
According to the Federalist:
Nearly $9 million in Zuckerberg grant funds directed solely to five Democratic strongholds in Wisconsin violated the state’s election code’s prohibition on bribery. That conclusion represents but one of the many troubling findings detailed in the report submitted today by a state-appointed special counsel to the Wisconsin Assembly.

The sicko who allegedly smashed his own feces in a Bronx straphanger’s face joked with cops that “s–t happens” before sneering to a Bronx judge, “F–k you, b****.” Frank Abrokwa, 37, was busted Monday at his homeless shelter in connection to the revolting Feb. 21 attack, according to cops and police sources. Upon arrest, he made light of the attack, quipping to cops, “S–t happens. Haha. This is a s–tty situation. Haha,” Bronx Assistant District Attorney Grace Phillips said during Abrokwa’s arraignment late Tuesday. Abrokwa—apparently impatient because Brooklyn detectives showed up to arrest him for an unrelated hate crime from September—also made a scene
