Former Fox News host Chris Wallace recently suffered some of his worst ratings since leaving the network to join the CNN roster.
According to the latest data from Nielsen, Chris Wallace and his show Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace had an abysmal first month of 2023 – the worst since his show launched in spring 2022. In January, he pulled in an average of 365,000 viewers, performing even worse in the much-ballyhooed 25-54 demographic with an average of 48,000 viewers. As John Nolte of Breitbart News recently noted, Wallace’s rating collapse comes after CNN hit a nine-year low:
The FBI issued the “all clear” on its latest search of one of President Biden’s residences. The announcement came with the first day of special counsel Robert Hur on the job at the Justice Department.
Hur may find that the Biden legal team feels that “all clear” extends beyond the latest search. It could be challenging to make a criminal case after how the investigation has been handled.
At every stage, the FBI has adopted an approach that would compromise or complicate any criminal charge.
The FBI left the home untouched for over three months after classified documents were found in Biden’s former office in DC.
The Wagner Private Military Company reportedly posted a video aimed at recruiting U.S. veterans to join the Russian cause in the war against Ukraine, where Wagner mercenaries are fighting alongside Russian soldiers.
In the video, posted on the Telegram social media platform by an account called “@Belyshum,” and reposted by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), a heavily accented voiceover argues that America has abandoned its founding ideals, and that only Russia stands for the fight against evil worldwide.
“When did these guys drink the Kool-Aid, and who served it to them?” That The New York Times deemed that reference to former Attorney General William Barr and Special Counsel John Durham from Stefan Halper’s criminal defense attorney relevant, much less persuasive, to the question of the propriety of the special counsel’s investigation renders Thursday’s hit piece unworthy of any credibility.
While most corporate media coverage of last week’s Republican National Committee (RNC) meeting was devoted to the contested leadership race between Ronna McDaniel and Harmeet Dhillon, the organization’s conference yielded a significant win for election integrity.
During the meeting, RNC members unanimously passed a resolution rejecting the use of ranked-choice voting (RCV) in U.S. elections. In an RCV system, voters rank candidates in order of preference. If no candidate receives a majority of first-choice votes in the first round of voting, the last-place finisher is eliminated, and his votes are reallocated to the voter’s second-choice candidate. Such a process continues until one candidate receives a majority of votes.
House Republicans will target their investigatory machinery at Joe Biden's family just hours after the president delivers his State of the Union speech before a joint meeting of Congress next week.
The hearing, which will focus on Twitter suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story, is part of a wide-ranging probe that House Oversight panel chair Rep. James Comer has promised to probe alleged Biden family 'influence peddling.'
The investigation comes just as Biden tries to rally the nation with an applause-designed speech on prime time TV – hoping to sell his agenda
Exclusive -The new weaponization of government panel is "absolutely" prepared to issue subpoenas to expose "corruption" in federal agencies as it launches a range of investigations, including into the Department of Justice 's efforts to criminalize protesters at school board meetings, according to the House GOP conference chairwoman.
Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY), a newly appointed member to the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government, said Republicans will demand transparency from the Biden administration and will use the power of the majority to compel documents and testimony.
“Absolutely," Stefanik told the Washington Examiner
The word “authenticity” is having a moment. In the context of product marketing and prominent consumer brands, one sees countless references to the criticality of purpose-driven marketing and the necessity of brands being perceived as authentic to garner the loyalty of (and dollars spent by) Gen Zers and younger millennials.
So it is with political marketing. Whether on behalf of political parties, campaigns, or specific candidates, political advertising and retail campaigning are imbued with messages reinforcing the relatability of the “product” — of which authenticity forms a considerable part.
Republicans have created a “Work and Welfare” subcommittee within the House Ways and Means Committee and Democrats are incensed over it, screeching that it is deeply offensive to those on welfare and to black Americans in general.
Chairman Jason Smith (R-Mo.) called the committee to order on Tuesday to approve the rules in the 118th Congress. The rules put in place the new name of the committee which was immediately pounced on by a number of Democrats who made it evident they are perpetually offended over just about everything. (Video) “As we know, ‘welfare,’ while it might be a word that connotes security and well-being is not well
Russian politicians and companies offer rewards for burning, capturing or destroying NATO tanks in Ukraine.
The declaration was made after the US and Germany announced they would be sending tanks to Ukraine.
Joe Biden announced 31 Abrams tanks would be sent to Ukraine.
Germany announced it would send 14 Leopard tanks to Ukraine in the coming months.
Russian soldiers will be paid up to $21,450 for the capture of a US Abrams tank and $7,150 for its destruction.
Veteran Watergate journalist Bob Woodward says he tried to warn Washington Post reporters about the infamous, discredited “Steele dossier” when the RussiaGate coverage first took off — but they weren’t interested, a new report says.
Woodward was among those interviewed for a lengthy Columbia Journalism Review report published this week about the media’s handling of the unproven allegations that Trump colluded with Russia amid the 2016 election.
In the interview, the 79-year-old reporter — famous for breaking the Nixon White House scandal for the outlet in the early ’70s — recalled how he was quick to slam the largely-discredited Trump dossier

'Nuclear Weapons' replies
We've been covering lately how President Joe Biden and his administration are particularly obsessed with abortion, but on Tuesday afternoon the president reminded how he's equally overly focused on another Democratic talking point, which would be climate change. Biden addressed the issue during a fundraiser for the Democratic National Committee (DNC) in New York City. Not only did he warn about climate change when it comes to emphasize we have "a real big problem," he claimed that it's even worse than nuclear weapons.
"If we don't stay under 1.5 degrees Celsius incr- -- we're going to have a real problem," he said, stumbling over his words.
Joe Biden has been hit with scandal after scandal.
Now things just got worse.
Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.) proposed a new impeachment article against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, and alleged violation of his oath of office and failure to enforce U.S. immigration law.
Biggs, who has repeatedly demanded Mayorkas’ removal, introduced the articles in 2021, accusing Mayorkas of having engaged in behavior inconsistent with his duties as an officer of the U.S. With a record high of 2.3 million migrant encounters in FY 2022, including 251,000 in December alone, and Republicans now in control of the House, the impeachment effort has been revived.
The articles said:
A Chicago Girl Scout Troop on the northwest side of Chicago was the victim of a cookie theft over the weekend, after dozens of boxes of Thin Mints were reported stolen in broad daylight while the troop was working to sort through orders.
According to officials, on Saturday afternoon, scouts aged 5 to 11 and parents from Troop 25778 were unloading and sorting cookies on pallets near 6160 W. Higgins Road. As the troop began to organize orders, an individual approached and grabbed boxes without paying, reports say.
“We put the cookies on the sidewalk out in front, and then we started sorting,"
Eyedrops feared to be contaminated with a bacterial superbug are thought to have killed at least one person and caused blindness in several more.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has issued an urgent warning over EzriCare Artificial Tears, a popular over-the-counter drug sold across the US.
They are believed to be at the center of 50 eye infections across 11 states between last May and this January, including one that was fatal and several more that caused 'permanent blindness'.
Dust off your pu**y hat and hit the streets, ladies! A creepy president invaded a female reporter’s personal space and indulged himself in some unwanted touching, and we can’t have that!
Gropey Joe left the White House Tuesday to head to New York for his infrastructure speech. As he passed through the usual phalanx of reporters, one foxy correspondent, NBC’s Kristen Welker, caught his twinkling eye. She was plainly asking for it when she queried, “What’s behind your decision to end the COVID emergency, Mr. President?” Responding to her come-hither advances, the most powerful man in the world reached for her hand, held tight, and pulled himself into the intimate
One of the stars of Disney’s upcoming Marvel series Ironheart has expressed hope that the show will appeal to transgender children and teens by giving them validation and something to emulate.
Zoe Terakes — who identifies as “non-binary” and “trans masculine,”and uses “they/them” pronouns — spoke to Collider about the series that is expected to debut on Disney+ later this year.
“I think as trans people, growing up I didn’t get to see myself anywhere, so I didn’t really know that I existed. And especially not in a superhero show or movie,” Terakes said. “And so I think I just feel deeply grateful and moved that little trans kids and trans teens
Gov. Tim Walz has signed a bill that prohibits racial discrimination based on hairstyles.
Wednesday, the governor signed the “Creating a Respectful and Open World for Natural Hair (CROWN) Act” into law. However, a ceremonial bill signing is planned for later this week. (snip) “Black people in Minnesota, and across the country, deserve to show up as their full, beautiful selves, without the fear of hair discrimination.”
The pandemic sparked a restlessness in American life, with many families opting to move in search of more space or a lower cost of living. That trend continued in 2022, with hundreds of thousands of people uprooting their lives and moving to new states.
But some regions are benefitting from an influx of new residents — a trend that can help those areas grow their economies and expand their tax bases — while others are witnessing a net loss of residents. About 25 U.S. states saw more people move within their boundaries last year, while about 25 states lost residents or were relatively flat,
The Department of Energy is proposing new energy conservation standards for new household gas and electric cooking devices, some of which have never been subject to federal efficiency standards.
DOE's proposed rule-making, published Wednesday, follows the recent political frenzy over the fate of gas stoves that was ignited after a federal regulator at the Consumer Product Safety Commission said his agency could ban them to reduce indoor air pollution.

The FBI search of President Joe Biden's vacation home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, on Wednesday, continues the search for classified material in various homes and work spaces used by the president and his family in the past decade. What is surprising about Wednesday's search is not the fact that a sitting president has now been subject to two FBI searches of his residences, but the fact that this search has come roughly three months after the first discovery of documents in a closet in Washington.
Harris County Texas is huge. If it were a state it would rank 25th in population, just behind Alabama. Almost 5 million people live there.
Nine members of the U.S. House of Representatives hail from or represent the county, as well as 24 state representatives.
At its center is Houston, which is reliably Democrat, but the county as a whole is a swing district these days with both Democrats and Republicans winning elections. In other words, how well the elections are run matters a lot, not just to the citizens of the county itself, but to the overall balance of power in the state and country.
Guess what? The elections were run
The Federal Reserve is raising its benchmark interest rate a quarter of a percentage point, officials with the central bank said on Wednesday, its eighth consecutive hike as policy makers try to subdue inflation.
The latest increase in the federal funds rate — what banks charge each other for short-term loans — is smaller than the Fed's 0.5 percentage point increase in December as well as a string of three-quarter point moves over the course of 2022. With the latest increase, the Fed's target interest rate is set in a range between 4.50% and 4.75% — its highest level since late 2007. The Fed said its campaign to curb prices

On the literal eve of a House vote to end the COVID emergency through legislation, the White House announced they would end the COVID-19 Emergency Declaration on May 11th. [pdf here]
The managers of Biden knew they would face a bipartisan vote to end the power of the dictatorial fiat known as the COVID emergency, so they quickly rushed to give Democrats in congress cover for voting against the legislative end.
In the end this is all a matter of pure politics and posturing for narrative control, because the Democrat controlled Senate is not going to take up the House bills

on AP African American history course:
'I think it's trash' replies
Leon County Commissioner Bill Proctor, a Black Democrat, agreed with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, R., last week that a proposed AP African American history course that was rejected by the state's Department of Education constitutes propaganda rather than a legitimate educational curriculum. DeSantis blocked the course on grounds that it violated the Sunshine State's Stop WOKE Act that was passed last year.
"I think it’s trash," Proctor said about the curriculum.
"There is grave concern about the tone and the tenor of leadership’s voice from the highest spaces in our state being hostile to teaching of African American history," he noted. "Well frankly I’m
The office of New York Attorney General Letitia James released footage on Tuesday of the deposition of former President Donald Trump. The video was intended to create a narrative as President Trump repeatedly invoked privileges under the fifth amendment against self-incrimination.

(snip) you realize no one in their right mind would answer any questions from this “investigative inquiry”.
Former President Trump accused Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) of being a “RINO GLOBALIST” on Wednesday, continuing his attacks on the potential 2024 contender widely viewed as his biggest competition for the Republican nomination.
“The real Ron is a RINO GLOBALIST, who closed quickly down Florida and even its beaches,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social. “Loved the Vaccines and wasted big money on ‘testing.’ How quickly people forget!”
Is the Biden money-making machine gig up?
Sure looks like it, given the situation with artistic genius, Hunter Biden.
According to the Washington Free Beacon's Alana Goodman:
Hunter Biden is in financial turmoil after his paintings sold for less than the six-figure price tags estimated by his gallerist ...
The underwhelming sales have led Biden to consider launching a legal defense fund to help pay his mounting attorney bills stemming from a federal tax crime investigation and congressional inquiries into his foreign business dealings, the Washington Post reported.
The Biden crime family made millions committing criminal activities including espionage. The Gateway Pundit has reported on several likely criminal actions disclosed on Hunter Biden’s laptop computer.
1. The Gateway Pundit reported last Thursday that the Bidens were using classified information to the benefit of the Hunter Biden family business. This was in response to Miranda Devine’s report at the New York Post where she identified an email with 22 points that was not written by Hunter Biden.
The College Board on Wednesday released a revised version of an Advanced Placement African American studies course following criticism from Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R), who refused to allow the program to run in the state’s schools.
In a new framework for the course reviewed by The Hill, Black writers and scholars associated with critical race theory have been scrubbed from the curriculum, as have those who touch on the Black queer experience and Black feminism. Other topics, like Black Lives Matter, are now optional. The Board also added “Black conservatism” as a potential research topic.
David Coleman, the head of the College Board, told The New York Times
The Office of the Inspector General dropped a new report about the relationship between the National Institutes of Health, the EcoHealth Alliance, and the facilities that received grants from the organization.
The contents do not reflect well on either the NIH or the EcoHealth Alliance. They were playing with fire, knew it, and failed to ensure that safety was front and center when messing with microbes.
The report is entitled quite sexily: THE NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH AND ECOHEALTH ALLIANCE DID NOT EFFECTIVELY MONITOR AWARDS AND SUBAWARDS, RESULTING IN MISSED OPPORTUNITIES TO OVERSEE RESEARCH AND OTHER DEFICIENCIES.
Catchy title, as you would expect from the Inspector General’s office.
House Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. James Comer has said the National Archives and Records Administration was prevented from notifying the public about the initial discovery of classified documents from President Biden’s former DC think tank office.
Comer (R-Ky.) told Fox News’ “Hannity” Tuesday night that Archives general counsel Gary Stern said in a closed-door interview he could not tell lawmakers who ordered the Archives not to put out a press release announcing the Nov. 2 find at the Penn Biden Center.
“There are only two people that could have given those orders, and that’s either the Department of Justice with [Attorney General] Merrick Garland or the White House
Rep. Adam B. Schiff promoted himself as a fighter against lies and corruption that can bring down democracy when he announced his bid to become the next U.S. senator from California.
“I’ve always believed that right matters, that the truth matters,” Mr. Schiff said in a video launching his campaign. Yet Mr. Schiff brings into the race his own trail of distortion and outright lies that critics say undercut the democratic process. He has refused to acknowledge most of the mistruths, even when faced with overwhelming evidence.
On Wednesday morning, Joe Biden’s attorney Bob Bauer revealed that the FBI is in the process of searching the president’s vacation house in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. Agents are reportedly hunting for additional classified documents.
“Today, with the President’s full support and cooperation, the DOJ is conducting a planned search of his home in Rehoboth, Delaware,” Bauer said in a statement. “Under DOJ’s standard procedures, in the interests of operational security and integrity, it sought to do this work without advance public notice, and we agreed to cooperate.”
Bauer added, “The search today is a further step in a thorough and timely DOJ process we will continue to fully support and facilitate.
A federal judge halted California’s attempt to censor doctors when, last Wednesday, the court enjoined the state statute that banned medical professionals from spreading purported “misinformation” or “disinformation” to their patients about Covid-19. The decision represents the latest victory against the authoritarian edicts that quickly followed the outbreak of the pandemic three years ago but continue to this day.
Federal agents are searching Joe Biden's Rehoboth beach house for classified documents, the president's attorney said on Wednesday, as the crisis takes yet another troubling turn for the administration.

President Joe Biden, despite supposedly being a "devout Catholic," keeps finding himself in the news over his obsession, and the obsession of his administration, on abortion. On Tuesday, we covered how his administration may be looking to declare a public health emergency declaration, this time on abortion. Earlier in the week, on Monday, Biden had also been confronted by a reporter about such a pro-abortion stance, which led to the president giving a rather head-scratching answer about his Catholic faith.
As our friends at Twitchy highlighted, Biden was confronted by a reporter from EWTWN, a Catholic network,
The National Archives was prevented from notifying the public that classified documents had been found at President Joe Biden's think tank back in November, raising questions over who stopped the information from coming out.
House Oversight and Reform Committee Chairman James Comer raised the question Tuesday night, claiming the only two entities that could have given the order are the White House and the Department of Justice – putting the onus on either Biden or Attorney General Merrick Garland.
Despite Biden's team claiming they have been 'transparent' regarding the classified document scandal, new details emerged Tuesday
Tom Brady has taken to social media to announce he’s retiring again. This time he means it and is gone “for good.”
He retired after the 2021 season but turned around a month later and reversed that to “unretire,” as Breitbart News reported.

“Good morning guys, I’ll get to the point right away. I’m retiring for good,” Brady said on Twitter.

A Princeton University student argued in a Sunday night opinion article that the school’s Honor Code unfairly impacts racial minorities, citing parallels to the U.S. criminal justice system. The Ivy League school’s Undergraduate Honor Code lays out standards for student conduct that all undergraduate students must abide by and prohibits students from plagiarizing or cheating, according to its website. Emilly Santos, author of the op-ed and Princeton University student, likened the code to the United States criminal justice system to propose that it “disadvantages” minority students.

I am responding to "Ukraine and the Unlearned Lesson of History," by Jacob Fraden. published in AT 1/31/23.
I’ll start with the author’s contention that Russia’s war against Napoleonic France was one of its wars “of aggression.” On June 24, 1812, Napoleon invaded Russia with an army of 650,000, approximately the 12th European county to receive the French tyrant’s military attention. Who was the aggressor here? Tsar Alexander I was a hero at the Congress of Vienna, for crushing that invasion and breaking the French chronic aggressor’s back once and for all.

On January 25, Project Veritas released what has already become by far its most-watched video ever: An undercover conversation with Dr. Jordon Trishton Walker.

It’s not as shocking, but certainly very revealing about the nature of modern America: Who the heck is Jordon Walker and how did this blabbermouth idiot get a sweet job at Pfizer?
Critics of the Veritas scoop have zeroed in on the idea that Walker could not possibly hold a senior role with Pfizer, citing his relatively recent graduation and unremarkable research history.
This criticism is rooted in truth.

Tallahassee, Fla. — The Republican-controlled Florida Legislature is expected to hold a special session next week, where it will deal directly with Disney World’s Reedy Creek Improvement District.
Bryan Griffin, a spokesperson for Gov. Ron DeSantis, confirmed in a statement Tuesday that “the governor’s office anticipates a special session next week on Reedy Creek, and other items,” a signal that the governor’s office could be increasing pressure to get something done ahead of the regular session that is scheduled to start in early March. Under Florida law, the governor can call a special session on his own, or legislative leaders can agree to hold one.
Griffin did not provide any additional details
