The U.S. Department of the Interior announced Thursday that it has given new names to five places that previously included a racist term for a Native American woman.
The renamed sites are in California, North Dakota, Tennessee and Texas, completing a yearlong process to remove the historically offensive word “squaw” from geographic names across the country.
The City of Minneapolis is boosting funding to violence intervention groups.
In the first 12 days of the new year, 14 people have been shot in six separate shootings.

A woman is suing two Minneapolis police officers who allegedly knocked her down and injured her during a 2021 protest over the fatal law enforcement shooting of Winston Smith. (snip) Bligh had brought $300 worth of pizza and bottled water for the protesters, the complaint states, and she tried to gather the food while the officers advanced. At some point, the officers got between her and the pizza. She asked if she could grab them, “but they ignored her requests and pushed her back.”
As we’ve reported, classified documents keep popping up in President Joe Biden’s think tank, his garage, and now the “personal library” at his residence… and suddenly the president is in potentially big trouble, both legally and politically. Thursday afternoon Attorney General Merrick Garland announced the appointment of Robert Hur as special prosecutor to investigate the case. If the most partisan and hyper-political attorney general ever is forced to investigate his own boss, you know things are serious.
But notice the timing of the revelations. The Biden Administration has known about some of the documents since at least before the November elections, but the public is just finding out now. Conspiracy theories
The twists and turns of President Biden’s classified documents scandal took a sharp turn on Thursday when Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed Special Counsel Robert Hur to investigate the chain of custody. But the unhinged and manic host of MSNBC’s Deadline: White House, Nicolle Wallace, had her knives out and looking to take a pound of flesh from the AG, suggesting the decision was unjust and without integrity. She even suggested his investigation style was responsible for the political unrest in Brazil. “Special counsel regs are for criminal investigations that are extraordinary in nature,” she ranted
After days of occasionally mealy-mouthed defenses of President Biden over news that classified documents were found at the Penn Biden Center and then a testy Wednesday White House briefing, the damn broke Thursday afternoon following Attorney General Merrick Garland’s appointment of Special Counsel Robert Hur to investigate that and at least two other discoveries of classified documents at Biden’s Wilmington, Delaware residence. ABC, CBS, and NBC all broke in for Garland’s announcement and, with few exceptions, they brutally savaged the President and his administration for misleading the public and withholding information
President Joe Biden in 2016 admitted that his son, Hunter Biden, had access to his Delaware garage, where stashed classified documents were unearthed by the president’s attorney on Thursday.
Joe Biden revealed on the “Jay Leno’s Garage” show that his sons Hunter and Beau had access to his garage to restore the infamous green Corvette, a video uploaded to YouTube dated October 26, 2016, revealed.
“My two sons, Beau, who passed away, and my son Hunter decided as a Christmas gift to have the engine rebuilt for me,” he explained to Jay Leno.
October of 2016 is just months before then-Vice President Joe Biden left the White House and allegedly stole classified documents.
WEST HILLS, Calif.— Lisa Marie Presley — the only child of Elvis Presley — died Thursday after being hospitalized earlier that day, her mother said in a statement. The singer was 54.
“It is with a heavy heart that I must share the devastating news that my beautiful daughter Lisa Marie has left us,” Priscilla Presley said in a statement Thursday evening. “She was the most passionate, strong and loving woman I have ever known.”
The announcement came just hours after Priscilla Presley had confirmed that Lisa Marie Presley was rushed to the hospital earlier Thursday.
Los Angeles County paramedics were dispatched to a Calabasas home at 10:37 a.m. following a report
NEW ORLEANS, Louisiana — More than 80 years later, the memories linger for Joseph Eskenazi: a bomb falling but not exploding outside his barracks, explosions as the battleship USS Arizona was sunk and machine gun fire from enemy planes.
Eskenazi, 104, is the oldest survivor of the attack on Pearl Harbor by Japanese forces on the “date that will live in infamy” -- Dec. 7, 1941. He was stationed at Schofield Barracks on Oahu the day the attack occurred. About 2,400 servicemen were killed in the attack.
On Wednesday, Jan. 11 he was greeted by flag waving admirers
Speaker Kevin McCarthy went on a rant Thursday when asked about the differences between the Trump and Biden document dramas — and rightly so.
The idea that President Joe Biden’s case is entirely different from ex-President Donald Trump’s is the media’s first line of defense for the current prez. And yes, lots of details differ.
But, as McCarthy noted, many of them make Biden look worse. The speaker’s demolition of the apples-to-apples critique was a powerful performance, slicing all the issues expertly.
During a press conference today, Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed Robert K Hur as Special Counsel to investigate the Joe Biden classified documents that were removed from the White House during President Obama’s term in office (2009 through January 2017). The timeline given by AG Garland does not match up with prior DOJ statements and lawyers representing Joe Biden.The timeline as described by AG Merrick Garland:
♦ Nov 4, 2022 – National Archives notifies DOJ of classified documents located at Penn-Biden Center
♦ Nov 9, 2022 – Garland instructs FBI to conduct assessment of classified documents and investigate
♦ Nov 14, 2022 – Garland instructs USAO Laush to conduct investigation of events and
Hunter Biden owned President Joe Biden’s Delaware house in 2018, where the elder Biden has now been discovered to have stashed classified documents, according to a document unearthed by New York Post’s Miranda Devine on Thursday.
On a document titled, “background screening request,” it appears Hunter checked a box to indicate he owned Joe Biden’s home located in Wilmington, Delaware. The document is signed July, 2018. (rweet/image)In 2017, Joe Biden left the White House and apparently stored classified documents inside his garage, along with two other locations. The first batch of documents found are alleged to contain information pertaining to Ukraine and Iran, according to CNN.
It’s starting to get hard to keep up with all the classified documents that Joe Biden has left strewn all over the place.
I wanted to clarify the alleged timing of the various finds.
As we have already reported there was the cache that was found at the Penn Biden Center, locked in a closet by the personal attorney who just happened to be clearing out Biden’s old office.
Then there was a second set that we reported on earlier, which was found in his garage, near his Corvette. That’s the one that Biden commented on and said they were safe because they were kept in the locked garage near his Corvette.

What a difference a new Speaker of the House makes. Newly-elected Speaker Kevin McCarthy used his first weekly press conference on Thursday to eviscerate the hypocritical “mainstream” media, while blistering serial-lying Rep. Adam Schiff (Calif.) and scandal-riddled Rep. Eric Swalwell (Calif.) in the process. How bad was it? CNN — The Most Trusted Name in News™ — cut to regular programming.
After taking several questions about embattled New York Republican Rep. George Santos, who faces calls from both parties to resign after he was caught in multiple lies, McCarthy turned the tables on reporters, asking why they refused to ask similar questions
Reporters on Thursday grilled White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on ‘GarageGate’ and the cover-up involving the classified documents stored at Biden’s Delaware home.
On Monday it was revealed top secret intelligence documents related to Ukraine, UK and Iran were found in Joe Biden’s private office shortly before the 2022 midterm elections.
Joe Biden stored top-secret files with the “sensitive compartmented information” (SCIF) designation at Penn Biden Center in DC.
The Arizona Court of Appeals agreed to expedite consideration of Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake’s lawsuit alleging that the 2022 election was flawed.
In a brief order, issued on Jan. 9 and made public the next day, the court ordered a reset of “the matter for conference on February 1, 2023,” and agreed with Lake’s arguments that her challenge should be handled as a “special action petition.” The court date was reportedly scheduled for March.
Lawyers for Democrat Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs, the state’s former secretary of state, has until Jan. 17 to respond and argue why Lake’s challenge should be rejected, according to the order.

Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) indicated during a Jan. 12 press conference that he wants to release all of the security footage from the U.S. Capitol from Jan. 6, 2021.
During the last Congress, many crucial questions about the Capitol breach were left unanswered and unaddressed by the Democrat-led Jan. 6 committee. Republican lawmakers, who have long expressed a keen interest in conducting their own investigations into the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol breach, intend to move forward now that the GOP holds congressional subpoena power by virtue of their House majority.
Hours of surveillance footage recorded at the Capitol that day haven’t been released to the public, raising questions among
Lisa Marie Presley, who has been rushed to hospital after a cardiac arrest, has followed in her father's footsteps with her rollercoaster life.
The 54-year-old has suffered the loss of her father Elvis, four failed marriages - including to troubled Michael Jackson and actor Nicolas Cage - and her son's suicide.
She suffered a cardiac arrest at her Calabasas home on Thursday morning and was resuscitated by paramedics.
Her mother, Priscilla Presley, was seen arriving at the hospital to support her daughter - an hour after reports of the medical episode.
Lisa Marie Presley was rushed to a hospital Thursday after officials responded to her home for a cardiac arrest, according to reports.
TMZ reported that paramedics performed CPR on Presley and were able to regain a pulse before she was transported.
A spokesperson from the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department tells The Hollywood Reporter that deputies responded to the 5900 block of Normandy in the city of Calabasas for a female in her 50s that suffered a cardiac arrest. The spokesperson added that the fire department responded and was able to get a pulse on the female and that she was transported to West Hills hospital.

— but didn’t tell public replies
Twitter let Democrats spread a false narrative that “Russian bots” were making a Republican memo on FBI surveillance abuse trend in 2018, according to the 14th installment of the “Twitter Files,” released Thursday.
The failure of the website to push back as Democrats used the bot claims to discredit findings by Rep. Devin Nunes of flaws in the Trump-Russia investigation, was “one of the more shameful episodes in the recent history of our media,” according to independent journalist and author Matt Taibbi. The conservative California Republican had submitted the report “detailing abuses by the FBI in obtaining FISA surveillance authority against Trump-connected figures”

Within 24 hours of the public learning of the existence of a second trove of classified documents stolen from the White House by Joe Biden, this time in his Delaware garage, AG Merrick Garland disposed of a hot potato by appointing Robert Hur, a DC Lawyer and former US Attorney for Maryland as special counsel.
The approved narrative is already emphasizing that he was a Trump appointee but will not mention that presidents usually nominate candidates recommended by a state’s senators, in Hur’s case, liberal Democrats Ben Cardin and Chris Van Hollen in 2018.
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) on Thursday argued President Biden knew his private office had classified documents, or he wouldn’t have had his attorneys remove things from his office.
“I think if you call a lawyer to remove something for your office, he must have known ahead of time,” McCarthy said. “So, I think he has a lot of answers to the American public. The good thing about that is the American public has a Congress that can get the answers.” The remarks came at McCarthy’s first press conference as Speaker in response to a question from the conservative One America News Network about whether McCarthy had ever used a lawyer
The story of Joe Biden and the classified documents is just getting worse. As we reported earlier, the location of the second set of classified documents was concerning — in a storage area in Biden’s Wilmington home. I knew it was going to be bad when they didn’t even say where it was when they initially announced it. Then Biden’s response to that was just horrible, claiming the classified documents were locked up next to his Corvette. “My Corvette’s in a locked garage, okay? So it’s not like they’re sitting out on the street.” That got George Washington Law School professor Jonathan Turley going. He ripped into Biden
After a week of leftist-media hazing about a “hard right” faction holding Kevin McCarthy’s bid for House Speaker “hostage,” it’s a breath of fresh air to find Washington Post columnist (and Deputy Opinion Editor) Karen Tumulty acknowledging that there were principled reasons to negotiate in a piece entitled "What the House GOP rebels were right about." It turns out anyone can see Congress has a broken system, regardless of party.
Tumulty noted the "hardliners" had a point on how the legislative machine operates these days:
Procedural issues rarely get the attention they deserve, which is why it has largely slipped the public’s notice
Attorney General Merrick Garland announced Thursday he had appointed a special counsel to investigate how classified documents ended up at an office President Biden used at his namesake think tank in Washington, DC, and his home in Delaware.
Republicans called on Garland to name a special counsel to examine whether the Obama-era documents were mishandled by Biden following revelations this week that a box containing classified documents were discovered in a locked closet in an office the president used at the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement on Nov. 2, just days before the midterm elections.
President Joe Biden confirmed Thursday classified documents were discovered in his garage at his Delaware home, but did not explain why.
“By the way, the Corvette is in a locked garage. OK? It’s not like they’re sitting out in the street,” he said when asked by reporters about the revelation of a second group of classified documents found at his home in Wilmington, Delaware.
Biden’s prized Corvette has been used by the White House to promote the president’s agenda.
While the media has us focused on the “knife violence” miscreant in Utah and the circus clowns in D.C., “gun enthusiasts” have been blazing up our streets in 15 states and our nation’s capital.
Let’s take a look at the bumper crop of mass shootings we’ve had thus far in 2023.
DEFINITION-O-RAMA! I am going with the traditional definition of a mass shooting: four or more people shot — not including the shooter — in a fluid situation. Meaning, if a clown shoots three people in a Denny’s, takes a nap, watches an episode of “Forensic Files,” and then perforates four more at a Piggly Wiggly, this is not a mass shooting.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is mulling a move to ban Chinese entities from purchasing property in the state due to the economic and security risks posed by China’s communist regime.
“If you look at the Chinese Communist Party, they’ve been very active throughout the Western Hemisphere in gobbling up land and investing in different things,” DeSantis said during a press conference on Jan. 10.
“And, you know, when they have interests that are opposed to ours, and you’ve seen how they’ve wielded their authority… it is not in the best interests of Florida to have the Chinese Communist Party owning farmland, owning land close to military bases.”
JPMorgan Chase on Thursday shut down the website for a college financial aid platform it bought for $175 million after alleging the company's founder created nearly 4 million fake customer accounts.
The country's biggest bank acquired Frank in September 2021 to help it deepen relationships with college students, a key demographic, a Chase executive told CNBC at the time. JPMorgan touted the deal as giving it the "fastest-growing college financial planning platform" used by more than 5 million students at 6,000 institutions. It also provided access to the startup's founder, Charlie Javice, who joined the New York-based bank as part of the acquisition.
Months after the transaction closed,
The president’s lawyers discovered a small number of documents with classified markings in the garage of President Joe Biden’s house in Wilmington, Delaware, the White House said on Thursday.
A single document was found in a room adjacent to the garage and no documents were found in the Bidens’ Rehoboth Beach home, White House Special Counsel Richard Sauber said in a statement. The administration is “fully cooperating” to ensure that the records are handled properly, he said.
Self-healing concrete was the foundation of ancient Rome's architectural legacy. A new study shows how to use the wonder material to create more sustainable concrete today. In Virgil's "Aeneid," a Latin epic poem, the god Jupiter prophesizes that Aeneas, a hero who fled the fall of Troy, will receive the gift of an empire that will never end. That empire was Rome.
The idea of creating this legacy of an everlasting empire was of profound importance to Rome, never more so than with its great building projects.
President Joe Biden's aides located documents with classified markings at two locations inside his home in Wilmington, Delaware, the White House counsel's office said in a statement Thursday.
The documents were located in a storage area in the garage and then an adjacent room, the statement reads.
The documents were located following a search of the president's homes in Wilmington and Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. No classified documents were located in Rehoboth, the statement says. The documents were found "among personal and political papers," the statement reads.
Lawyers for Biden concluded their review of the Delaware homes on Wednesday evening.
A new and unconstitutional, Orwellian gag-order law took effect on Jan. 1. Titled “Physicians and surgeons: unprofessional conduct,” the law permits the Medical Board of California to discipline doctors who “disseminate” misinformation.
It’s an obvious and direct attack on the First Amendment—freedom of speech—as well as the Fifth Amendment, which says an individual cannot be compelled by the government to provide incriminating information about himself, and the Fourteenth Amendment’s equal protection under the laws.
This law attempts to mandate a new and undefined standard known as “contemporary scientific consensus” and illegally suppress differing professional opinions counter to this consensus on COVID-19.
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was grilled on the question of the classified documents found at Joe Biden’s Penn Biden office. I don’t think they’d even heard yet that even more documents had been found.
But it did not go over well for Jean-Pierre, particularly the grilling on why the American people hadn’t been told when the first set of documents was found back on November 2, shortly before the election.

Consumer prices decreased 0.1 percent in December according to the latest read of the Consumer Price Index released on Thursday morning, but still advanced 6.5 percent over the last 12 months, in line with Wall Street expectations for the latest report on the costs paid by Americans,
As the Bureau of Labor Statistics explained in its release of December's CPI, the index for gasoline was "by far the largest contributor to the monthly all items decrease" — a volatile index that is not expected to remain on a downward trajectory as spring and summer approach.
Shortly after the House passed the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act on Wednesday, which requires doctors to provide care for babies born alive after failed abortion attempts, senior Democrat lawmakers blew up Twitter in an apoplectic meltdown, declaring the bill “extreme” — and then some.
As Fox News reported, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, Vice President Kamala Harris, and of course former Speaker Nancy Pelosi — the “very religious person” who has referred to on-demand late-term abortion as “sacred ground” — were among the most histrionic.
Here’s a bit of background on the bill, via Fox:
Oklahoma death row inmate Scott Eizember is set to be executed Thursday morning. He was denied clemency by the Oklahoma Pardon and Parole Board in December.
Eizember is on death row for the 2003 beating death of 76-year-old A.J. Cantrell. He also was sentenced to 150 years in prison for the shooting death of 70-year-old Patsy Cantrell.
Eizember, who was 42-years-old at the time, had broken into the Cantrell’s home in Depew, Okla. to spy on the house across the street, which belonged to the mother of Kathy Biggs, his ex-girlfriend. Eizember had a history of stalking Biggs, as he also
The Left has gone mad over Donald J. Trump—past, present, and future.
The current Democratic Party and NeverTrump “conservatives” assumed that Trump was and remains so obviously toxic that they do not have to define exactly what his evil entails.
Accordingly, they believe that any means necessary are justified to stop him. And furthermore, these zealots, when out of power, insist such extraordinary measures should not be emulated and institutionalized by their opponents, much less ever boomeranged back upon their creators. In this context, the Republicans retaking control of the House of Representatives once again raises the question whether they should reply in kind.
Illinois Democrat Governor J.B. Pritzker signed legislation Tuesday banning the manufacture or possession of dozens of rapid-fire rifles and pistols, .50-caliber guns, and some attachments, which went into effect immediately.
Pritzker signed the “Protect Illinois Communities Act” into law during a ceremony at the State Capitol in Springfield hours after House Democrats secured the final passage less than a day after Senate Democrats approved the measure.
“It’s been quite a past 24 hours,” Pritzker said, according to local media.
Americans should be “insulted” President Joe Biden received praise during his trip to Mexico for suspending former President Donald Trump’s border policies, three former Trump officials who led migration-related bodies told the Daily Caller.
Mexican President Andres Manuel López Obrador, who has a history of speaking out against Republicans cracking down on illegal migration, talked to Biden about migration issues on Tuesday at the North American Leaders’ Summit, and thanked him for not building “even one meter of wall” despite pleas from Republicans.
A fed-up Brooklyn deli owner has come up with a new way to try to stop a group of local teens from repeatedly shoplifting at his popular Park Slope store — public shaming.
Majeed Arbahri, the proprietor of Green Olives Deli & Grill Juice Bar on Seventh Avenue, has begun displaying a “Thieves of the Week” video behind the counter, hoping it discourages a troublesome group of local high school girls from robbing him blind. (Snip) He said he even spoke to the school principal and sent him the video.
“He said they did it outside the school so there’s nothing they can do,” Arbahri said.
In the spring of 2021, Everest Romney had a bright future.
The 6-foot-9 sophomore played on Corner Canyon High School’s basketball team in Draper, Utah. The 17-year-old told a TV interviewer he had high hopes for getting a scholarship to play college basketball.
Then, on April 21 of that year, he got the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccination.
The news that the federal government is seriously considering a ban on the sale of gas stoves caught many normal Americans off guard. It shouldn’t have. Nor should they believe it when a regulator says they won’t actually ever ban the thing.
In recent decades, regulators have wormed their way into every corner of our lives – banning some products, ruining others, and pricing others out of reach of working families – all allegedly for our benefit. The only thing that’s surprising is that they hadn’t targeted gas stoves earlier.
This week, the Consumer Product Safety Commission Commissioner Richard Trumka Jr. said that gas appliances
Jeff Beck, the celebrated guitarist who played with the Yardbirds and led the Jeff Beck Group, has died aged 78, his representative has confirmed.
Beck died on Tuesday after “suddenly contracting bacterial meningitis”, the representative confirmed. “His family ask for privacy while they process this tremendous loss,” they added. Often described as one of the greatest guitarists of all time, Beck – whose fingers and thumbs were famously insured for £7m – was known as a keen innovator. He pioneered jazz-rock, experimented with fuzz and distortion effects and paved the way for heavier subgenres such as psych rock and heavy metal over the course of his career.
Musk Exposes Fauci
replies
Elon Musk is transforming Twitter from a government censorship bureau into a powerhouse of investigative journalism. The Biden Junta doesn’t like it.
Musk’s tweet of “My pronouns are Prosecute/Fauci” drew a furious reaction from White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, who said criticizing Dr. Fauci was “dangerous,” “disgusting” and “divorced from reality.” Musk didn’t think so, and started digging deeper.
On December 28, Musk tweeted, “Almost no one seems to realize that the head of bioethics at NIH – the person who is supposed to make sure that Fauci behaves ethically – is his wife.” That would be National Institutes of Health bioethics boss Christine Grady.
Former President Donald Trump called for an investigation into the FBI and “powerful corporations” for “systematically colluding” to advance a “censorship regime” in a video posted to Rumble Wednesday.
“The now-famous Twitter Files have proven beyond all doubt that the corrupt officials at the FBI have been coordinating a massive censorship, surveillance and propaganda campaign against the American people and, frankly, against me,” Trump said in the video posted on Rumble. “In the most recent and notorious example, the FBI worked to stop the truth from being told about the Biden family’s criminality.”

Here’s something that will leave a bad taste in peoples’ mouths. Gov. Hochul quietly snuck a proposal to outlaw new gas stoves into the “New York Housing Compact” she unveiled during her State of the State speech Tuesday — urging people to ditch their kitchens’ gas grills and go electric. The ban would affect old-timers and millennials who are obsessed with cast-iron pans that are tricky to use on electric stoves. CORRECTION*
Following yet another failure of government control of transportation -- the FAA system debacle -- Pete Buttigieg has been soundly thrashed again for his incompetence. The FAA failure is only one of many fiascos over the past year laid at the feet of the erstwhile secretary of Transportation. Recall when he and his “husband” were on paternity leave for nearly two months while the maritime shipping supply chain crisis was going on last fall. Next, he was AWOL during the railroad strike negotiations and really played no role in brokering a deal. As a matter of fact, he was on vacation in Portugal at the time.
On Wednesday Joe Biden told reporters he was “a professor” at Penn after he left office in 2017.
This came after news broke that classified documents were found in a closet at the Penn Biden Center, linked to Joe Biden, in November before the 2022 election.
The Department of Justice, the same group that set up the Trump-Russia scam, are allegedly investigating.(Tweet/Video) Of course, this was a lie.
According to the RNC — This is at least the 17th time Biden has told this lie since he became president. Biden was never a “professor.” Biden and his associates raked in hundreds of thousands of dollars to essentially do nothing while millions in anonymously earmarked Chinese
Former President Donald Trump slammed President Joe Biden following the revelation that he was stashing classified documents at the University of Pennsylvania, which is reported to have accepted millions of dollars in mysterious donations from China.
Trump speculated that China could have had access to the classified information because the Penn Biden Center reportedly received $54 million in anonymous Chinese donations between 2014 and 2019.
“Biden’s documents are HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL, many pertain to UKRAINE, where Hunter was ‘raking in the dough,’ and FUNDED BY CHINA, which gave $55 Million to Biden, through Penn, and probably had easy access,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
After a chaotic start, Republicans finally earned one of their first wins of the 118th Congress on Wednesday as they used their new majority to approve two measures aimed at protecting unborn lives and pro-life facilities.
The first measure passed condemns attacks on anti-abortion abortion facilities, including crisis pregnancy centers that do not offer abortions but do offer other services to expecting mothers.
A second separate bill that passed the House Wednesday imposes new penalties on doctors if they refuse to administer care to infants born alive following abortion attempts.
Hunter Biden walked up to House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) at the White House state dinner honoring French President Emmanuel Macron last month and commented on the appearance of McCarthy’s 82-year-old mother, according to a report.
President Biden’s son was among the first of the guests to arrive at the lavish function, and among the few other early arrivals was McCarthy and his mother Roberta, according to a New York Times report on Wednesday. Despite the California Republican’s vows to investigate Hunter and his father, the first son and his wife approached McCarthy and his mother and the two men shook hands, according to the news outlet.
Stéphane Bancel, CEO of Moderna, announced the development of a new mRNA shot to treat patients suffering from heart failure.
In a statement released on Monday, the pharmaceutical company said it currently has 48 programs in development, including 36 programs that are currently being tested in clinical trials.

Democratic politicians are portraying the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, which requires health care professionals to provide necessary care to infants born alive after failed abortions, as an attack on women’s rights.
Democratic Massachusetts Rep. Katherine Clark and Democratic California Reps. Judy Chu and Norma Torres characterized the legislation as an assault on women’s freedom and bodily autonomy. Certain tweets also appeared to refer to a resolution in the House of Representatives condemning violent attacks on pro-life groups.
“Abortion care is health care. @HouseGOP is putting legislation on the floor today that is part of its assault on women’s reproductive freedom,” Torres wrote Wednesday.
On Wednesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “All In,” Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) stated that the United States can’t take an unlimited number of asylum seekers, even though “there are many in my party who don’t want to admit that,” and the U.S. will have to limit the number of people it grants asylum to, encourage applicants to do so from their own country, “and then, frankly, turn those who don’t go through that process back around.”
Murphy stated, “[H]ere’s the question, the question is can we accept an unlimited number of asylum seekers? The answer is no. And so while there are many in my party who don’t want to admit that,
Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders (R-AK) signed an executive order on her first day in office, requiring state entities to replace the leftist phrase “Latinx” on official documents with the traditional terms “Latino” or “Hispanic.”
“State offices, departments, and agencies” must review their official documents for singular and plural uses of “Latinx” and “submit a written report to the Governor detailing the findings of their review,” the order reads. All state entities have 60 days to swap out the genderless terms with “Hispanic,” the gendered “Latino,” or “Latina,” or their plural variations.
As the Spanish language is structurally intertwined with gender,
