With her announcement Tuesday, Republican Nikki Haley hopes to become the nation's first female president.
Throughout her political career, Haley, 51, has racked up a number of firsts.
She was the first female governor of South Carolina, the first minority governor of South Carolina and the first female-minority combo governor in the United States.
Haley was also, at one point, the youngest governor in the country.
When her husband Michael Haley deployed to Afghanistan in 2013, she became the first governor in U.S. history to have a spouse deployed.
President Joe Biden falsely claimed food prices are coming down after Tuesday’s inflation report revealed prices at the grocery store actually increased in January.
Delivering a Tuesday afternoon keynote address at the National Association of Counties, Biden falsely claimed inflation, including food prices, is coming down.
“Today’s report on inflation shows the good is that inflation in America is continuing to come down,” Biden claimed. “Food prices at the grocery store are coming down.”
But according to the consumer price index report released Tuesday morning, the price of food at home jumped 0.5 percent compared with December.
Federal prosecutors investigating Donald Trump's storing of classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate have written to the Justice Department seeking permission to compel his attorney to testify before a grand jury, according to a report.
M. Evan Corcoran spoke to the grand jury in January.
Now, according to The New York Times, the prosecutors want him to return for further questioning - and they are seeking to exempt Corcoran from the standard attorney-client privilege.
They are asking a federal judge to invoke 'the crime-fraud exception', which renders attorney-client privilege invalid, when there is reason to believe that legal advice or legal services have been used in furthering a crime.
Ohio's Republican Sen. J.D. Vance said he is 'certainly not' satisfied with Transportation Sec. Pete Buttigieg's handling of the train derailment in East Palestine.
'He's more concerned about racism and white construction workers,' Vance told DailyMail.com.
Explaining what he's looking for out of the Transportation Department, Vance said: 'I'd like to see more investigations. I'd like to see some openness about what the regulatory failure was.'
Buttigieg has said on Twitter his agency is supporting ongoing investigations into the fiery 50-car derailment on February 3, and will work to 'ensure accountability.'

The most expensive neighborhoods are no longer in New York and San Francisco as many billionaires and celebrities relocate to Florida.
Star Island in Miami is known to attract many A-list figures, such as Jennifer Lopez and Rosie O’Donnell, with a private gated bridge and luxury homes surrounded by Biscayne Bay turquoise waters.
Homes on the man-made island can sell for as high as $70 million but the medium home value is $40 million, according to Bloomberg. Star Island saw an increase in its selling price by 23.5 million since 2019.
Port Royals in Naples, Florida, is the second most expensive neighborhood in the US with average home prices ranking at $16.9 million,
A hazardous chemical leak from a rollover crash involving a commercial tanker truck closed Interstate 10 in both directions in Tucson.
The crash happened at around 2:43 p.m. on I-10 near Kolb and Rita Roads on Tuesday.

University of Arizona police later tweeted that anyone within a one mile of the crash should shelter in place and turn off any air-conditioning units that bring in outside air.
UA police later said the Pima County Sheriff's Department instructed all personnel at the university's Tech Park to evacuate. The Tucson Fire Department
We’ve seen a lot of effort to censor conservatives and folks who won’t just mimic the liberal narrative. That’s one of the things revealed in the Twitter files, with tweets and accounts causing shadow banning or visibility filtering. We saw coordination with the Biden team as well as the staff for Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) trying to suppress a journalist for what he wrote about Schiff. As we reported, Redstate was even put on a blacklist, along with many other conservative sites by Microsoft-owned Xandr, a major advertising company, which red-flagged our site while not taking the same action against left-wing sites. Fortunately, that appears to have now been lifted.
Ever since President Joe Biden started shooting down every unidentified-floating-object over America, the public has been left to wonder why.
Now four 'objects,' including the Chinese spy ship, have been popped by sophisticated weapons of war over the last 10 days.
So, what explains the White House going from letting balloons soar clear across the purple mountains and fruited plains to suddenly scrambling the F-22s and F-16s to destroy anything that drifts?
Who knows?
Given that this fiasco involves national security and intelligence, it is reasonable that Biden won't simply reveal all. But so far, we've gotten mixed messages
Rep. Dan Crenshaw, R-Texas, broke down some of the specifics of what Congress was told regarding the unidentified objects that the U.S. continues to shoot out of the sky.
Members of Congress were briefed Tuesday on three unidentified flying objects that were shot down over North America in recent days. [Snip] "Everyone wants answers on the objects flying over the United States. Today Members of Congress finally got more info from senior military officials," he said. "We still don’t know what these other 3 objects were. We’re calling them unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs.)"
Although inflation has fallen for seven straight months, prices for one item that is a major part of every American's budget continues to rise: the food we eat at home. Grocery inflation picked up in January, even as overall U.S. prices fell slightly from the previous month, according to federal labor data. Prices for food at home — what people buy at retailers to prepare their own meals — jumped 11.3% in January from a year earlier, the Labor Department said on Tuesday. Many households continue to feel the pinch, even as the overall inflation rate is slowly receding, thanks to lower
President Joe Biden has not addressed the American people about mysterious objects being shot out of the sky because the White House does not want to spark panic.
That was the answer given by Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Tuesday when she was asked why Biden had not made a televised speech on the issue.
She said he was taking the matter seriously and was being briefed regularly.
'And he's going to continue to do that,' she told reporters.
'We are sharing as much information as we can as possible ... but we do want to make sure that the American people understand that there's no need to panic.'
Former Vice President Al Gore will open the first Agriculture Innovation Mission for Climate Summit this May in Washington, D.C., to increase collaboration and investment for climate-smart agriculture and food systems.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture announced Tuesday that Gore, also known for his environmental work and Oscar-winning documentary An Inconvenient Truth, will be the opening keynote speaker at the premier summit for AIM for Climate, which is scheduled to run from May 8 to 10.
"We are honored to have former Vice President Al Gore join us in Washington this May to kick off the AIM for Climate Summit," Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said in a statement.
Residents of East Palestine, Ohio, where a train derailed nearly two weeks ago, releasing toxic fumes into the air and potentially contaminating the region's waterways, will meet this week to discuss the ongoing fallout from the incident.
The East Palestine city council will hold an emergency meeting Wednesday to address growing fear in the community that pets, livestock and farm animals would soon become exposed.
The Ohio Department of Natural Resources has said the spill was responsible for killing an estimated 3,500 small fish across several miles of streams near the crash site.
The Norfolk Southern train derailed on Feb. 3, with about 50 cars
It's been days since President Joe Biden directed the Pentagon to shootdown a number of "objects" he claims were a threat to U.S. airspace and commercial aircraft. There are no photos of the "objects," which White House officials say cannot be classified as balloons, and still no recovered debris after they were reportedly taken out by F-16 pilots using $400,000 missiles.
As officials drag their feet on providing details about what exactly the objects were, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre won't say whether Biden scrambled fighter jets to shoot down
President Biden's brother was hired to engage in secret negotiations with the Saudi government on behalf of a US construction company because of his relationship with the then vice president, legal documents claim.
Jim Biden was selected because Saudi Arabia 'would not dare stiff the brother of the Vice-President who would be instrumental to the deal,' bombshell affidavits obtained by DailyMail.com allege.
Joe's younger brother Jim, 73, was at the center of a $140million settlement negotiation between Hill International and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in 2012.
Democrats continue to manipulate language to attack anyone who fails to fall in line with their identity class politics, which creates an entitled society that embraces victimhood over self-determination.
Case in point, U.S. Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., who employed divisive rhetoric to slam the Huntington Beach City Council for voting to only fly municipal, state, and federal flags outside City Hall, along with the POW/MIA flag.
The move was intended in the spirit of unity, as in one people, but Democrats like Schiff pounced to declare it an attack on the LGBTQ+ community, characterizing the action as “hate.”

The Biden Justice Department has a dilemma.
Up until January 9, 2023, when CBS News reported that President Joe Biden had a classified documents scandal of his own, you could have bet the ranch that DOJ was poised to indict former President Donald Trump for illegally retaining national-security intelligence at his Mar-a-Lago estate. Prosecutors were getting their ducks in a row, taking the kind of steps that are only taken when the government is very serious about filing charges: appointing a special counsel, forcing former executive officials to testify before the grand jury despite potential privilege claims, aggressively litigating in the district and appellate courts to prevent Trump’s
The Witch Trials of J.K. Rowling

J.K. Rowling is arguably the most successful author in the history of publishing, with the possible exception of God. And “Harry Potter” was a kind of bible for my generation. Since its publication beginning in the late ’90s, the series has taught tens of millions of children about virtues like loyalty, courage, and love—about the inclusion of outsiders and the celebration of difference. The books illustrated the idea of moral complexity, how a person who may at first appear sinister can turn out to be a hero after all.
The author herself became part of the legend, too. A broke, abused, and depressed single mother—writing in longhand at cafes
A second university has been found to have received more than $6.7 million in anonymous donations from China, including direct funding from the Chinese government, after Joe Biden set up a program there in his name, according to a Government Accountability Institute analysis. The revelation comes following reporting that anonymous China-linked funds flowing to the University of Pennsylvania almost tripled after the inauguration of the Penn-Biden Center, which illegally housed classified documents.
The Deep State is doing everything it can to stop Donald Trump from being President again.
In a Truth Social post, President Trump predicted the deep state would “step up their illegal and unprecedented attacks in order to disparage me with false “bull….” and statements in the hope that I will be damaged enough to allow a RINO, or Biden, to “slip through the cracks.”
He said the reason is that he is doing great in the polls.

Transgender athletes will not be allowed to compete in college sports in the Lone Star State, Texas Governor Greg Abbott has vowed.
“This next session, we will pass a law prohibiting biological men to compete against women in college sports,” the governor said during a meeting of young conservatives in Dallas.
Under his leadership, the state imposed a similar ban in 2021 on transgender competitors in public schools from kindergarten through high school.
Texas lawmakers are now turning their attention to universities, with two lawmakers filing a bill to ban trans women from competing against biological women in college sports.
Following multiple shoot-downs of unidentified flying objects over the last week, reporters were itching to gather more information during Tuesday’s White House press briefing. That vigor for transparency was quickly quelled by the world’s worst press secretary, though.
Karine Jean-Pierre took to the podium to once again provide absolutely nothing of value for the six-figure salary she collects from taxpayers. When pressed on why Joe Biden has still not addressed the nation about even the initial Chinese spy balloon that was downed, this was the result. (Tweet/Video)
Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein told reporters on Tuesday that she had not 'released anything' about retiring from Congress after her office put out a statement announcing this was her last term.
'I haven’t made that decision. I haven't released anything,' she told reporters when asked about her emailed statement.
When a staffer mentioned the earlier announcement, she said, 'You put out the statement? I didn't know they put it out.'
The 89-year-old lawmaker is unquestionable a political titan, particularly so in California. But recent reports have raised concerns about her cognitive abilities at this advanced age, and have hastened the push for her to retire.

And in another 60 percent increase, 24 percent of high school girls went so far as to make plans for their own
Not long ago, Disney ripped off any pretense of being a family company and dove head-first into the social justice muck with an episode of “The Proud Family” that featured a slam poetry segment that echoed the fringe critical race theory claim that “slaves built this country.”
As RedState reported, it soon surfaced that the writer of the show is a very loud and proud social justice radical named Latoya Raveneau, who has a “not-at-all-secret gay agenda” and wants to introduce “queerness” to the shows your kids watch whenever she gets the chance. She also bragged that no one at Disney is trying to stop her.

WASHINGTON—Amid a baffling series of incidents in which the U.S. has shot down three unidentified flying objects, the White House said Monday it would create a team expected to study airborne objects and the potential security and safety risks they pose.
The new group, created at the behest of national-security adviser Jake Sullivan, would comprise elements of the Pentagon, the Federal Aviation Administration, the Department of Homeland Security and other government agencies, said U.S. officials.
Air India will purchase more than 200 planes from Boeing, a White House official says President Joe Biden will announce Tuesday. It's the third biggest sale of all time for the aircraft manufacturer.
The agreement will include 190 Boeing 737 MAXs, 20 Boeing 787s, and 10 Boeing 777Xs -- a total of 220 firm orders valued at a list price of $34 billion, the official says. The purchase will also include customer options for an additional 50 Boeing 737 MAXs and 20 Boeing 787s, totaling 290 airplanes for a total of $45.9 billion at list price.
In a statement, Biden said the sale would "support over one million

“And when you kick back, it hurts them more if you are wearing heels.” Nikki Haley released a 3-minute and 33-second video today that announces her candidacy for president. This comes a day before her official campaign announcement which she will make Wednesday in South Carolina. Is this how we do things now? Maybe this is what generational change looks like. Traditionally, a candidate waits to announce his or her candidacy at an official rally or event and then the video ads begin. Haley looks eager to get started, which may play in her favor. She’s enthusiastically confident in her ability to run for president.
From the authors of the Great Barrington Declaration–the public health officials and economists who warned that the government’s response to COVID would be a disaster–comes the Norfolk Declaration, which calls for a COVID-19 Commission to look back at the lessons we have, or at least should have learned from the past 3 years.The authors come from diverse backgrounds, but are unified by one central characteristic: they saw the disaster coming and tried to warn us. For their troubles, they were attacked, slandered, censored, and professionally harmed.
That is not their focus, though. Rather they want to salvage something from the disaster. As with a post-crash investigation of an airplane accident,
We have a deep archived series of articles on Nikki Haley [SEE HERE] specifically because she is the most transparently manipulative and simultaneously predictable, conniving political entity in Republican politics. Yes, she’s worse than Monkey Pox.
Reminder, Nikki Haley in February 2021: …”“I don’t think [Trump’s] going to be in the picture,” she said, matter-of-factly. “I don’t think he can. He’s fallen so far.” […] “We need to acknowledge he let us down,” she said. “He went down a path he shouldn’t have, and we shouldn’t have followed him, and we shouldn’t have listened to him. And we can’t let that ever happen again.” (link)
On Sunday afternoon, I got a text from my mother-in-law. She had just seen a news alert that the Federal Aviation Administration and North American Air Defense had temporarily closed the airspace over Lake Michigan. My husband's parents live near the lake and were a bit concerned.

She was largely kidding, but at the same time, I think my mother-in-law hit on the unease most of us have felt in recent days, as the United States keeps encountering these unidentified objects in the sky.

Kamala Harris is a living embodiment of the Peter Principle, where people keep getting promoted until they reach jobs for which they are clearly unqualified. More and more Americans think that describes our current vice president.
Harris is deeply unpopular with independents, who are essential for electoral success (fewer than one in three voters view her favorably), and she is losing popularity among Democratic Party leaders. They see her ineptitude, listen to her word salads, and watch the polls with dismay. The latest evidence of Harris’ fading position is a sharply critical article in the New York Times, of all places, filled with anonymous disapproval from senior Democrats
The People's Republic of China lobbied criticisms at the United States on Monday over the nation's recent actions to protect its airspace.

"We have made it clear time and again that the entry of the Chinese civilian unmanned airship into U.S. airspace was a purely unintended, unexpected and isolated event caused by force majeure," said Wang. However, Wang could not provide any information on whether any of the recently downed aircraft belonged to China

He couldn’t get his “Build Back Better” bill passed last year because everyone knew it would cause more inflation. So he stubbornly pushed it through Congress as a renamed “H.R. 5376,” otherwise known as the “Inflation Reduction Act.”
