In a recent viral video clip, a man named Vince Dao skillfully debunks the trendy but vacuous, race-obsessed gibberish of fellow panelists participating in a discussion where “Asian Americans Debate Model Minority and Asian Hate.” It’s depressing to see young people accept (or claim to accept) the idea that our immutable characteristics shape our destiny. But it is worth watching Dao offer a solid defense of Bourgeois ethics.

A sarcastic former President Donald Trump mocked Nikki Haley's entry into the 2024 presidential field by highlighting her poll numbers in a Wednesday post on his Truth social.
'She's polling at 1%, not a bad start!!' Trump remarked.
The ex-president also pointed to comments Haley made in 2021, when she said she would not run for president against him.
'Nikki Haley had a hard time making the decision to run for President because she very publicly stated that she "would never run against the President. He did a GREAT JOB, and was the best President in my lifetime,"' Trump recalled.
He added, 'I told Nikki to follow her heart, not her ambition or belief.'
Rail company Norfolk Southern ran scared of a town hall meeting in East Palestine tonight because officials 'were afraid for their safety' following the chemical train derailment disaster.
Representatives were due to attend to help explain what happened and how they could repair the devastation - and soothe fears of potential long term health problems including cancer.
But the town's mayor Trent Conaway revealed just before the packed meeting at the local high school: 'The people want answers. I want answers.
'Norfolk Southern didn't show up.'
Under political pressure from Democrats as well as Republicans, President Joe Biden is considering giving a speech in the coming days to address the Chinese spy balloon and the three other shot-down objects, two senior administration officials confirmed ABC News on Wednesday.
The White House is eying the days before Biden departs for his trip to Poland for the potential balloon remarks. He is scheduled to depart for that trip, during which he'll mark the one-year anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, on Monday, Feb. 20. The deliberations over the speech were first reported by Reuters.

The winner of the largest ever lottery jackpot described himself as “shocked and ecstatic” as officials revealed his identity, satisfying a law in his state, California.
Edwin Castro bought the ticket that won the record-breaking $2.04bn Powerball jackpot on 8 November. Instead of choosing to collect the full prize through an annuity over 29 years, he opted for an immediate lump sum of more than $997.6m – the more common path for people in his position.
Castro declined an invitation to appear at a news conference held on Tuesday by lottery officials in California. But the names of California lottery winners must become public by law, so officials published his name
Republican Rep. Jim Jordan issued subpoenas to Big Tech's biggest names on Wednesday for documents relating to any alleged collusion with the government to suppress free speech.
The Judiciary Committee chairman calls on materials from CEOs Mark Zuckerberg of Meta, the parent company of Facebook; Tim Cook of Apple; Sundar Pichai of Alphabet, the parent company of Google; Andy Jassy of Amazon; and Satya Nadella of Microsoft.

The Justice Department has ended its investigation into Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) without any charges, according to the Florida congressman and news reports.
Gaetz’s office said in a statement, according to the Associated Press, “The Department of Justice has confirmed to Congressman Gaetz’s attorneys that their investigation has concluded and that he will not be charged with any crimes.”
Gaetz was being investigated by the DOJ on whether Gaetz and a onetime political ally, Joel Greenberg, had paid underage girls and escorts or offered them gifts in exchange for sex, AP reported. Greenberg pleaded guilty as part of a plea deal a

The FBI searched the University of Delaware twice in recent weeks for documents related to the investigation into President Joe Biden's mishandling of classified documents.
A source familiar with the investigation told CNN that agents and investigations carried out two searches on two separate days at the college in Biden's home state.
Two separate batches of materials retrieved from the university were taken from at least two different locations at the school and are now being reviewed by the FBI.
The search comes after it was revealed last month that at least 16 documents with classified markings were found at Biden's Washington, D.C. think tank and his home in Wilmington, Delaware.
On Friday, the U.S. Supreme Court (SCOTUS) will consider for a second time whether to hear Raland J. Brunson v. Alma S. Adams, a case that alleges Congress had a duty to investigate claims of fraud and impropriety in the 2020 national election, and that member votes against doing so amounted to treason. While some of the reasoning and suggested remedies in the complaint seem hyperbolic, it is aimed at accountability for those in leadership positions who are derelict in their duty to protect the American electoral system from manipulation.
On the matter of authorities taking a serious look at election fraud,
The FBI has conducted two searches at the University of Delaware in connection with the investigation into President Joe Biden's handling of classified documents, a source familiar with the investigation told CNN.
The previously undisclosed searches were conducted in recent weeks, with the consent and cooperation of the president's legal team, the source said.
The library at the University of Delaware, Biden's alma mater, is home to an extensive collection of papers from the president's time in the Senate, according to its website. Investigators retrieved materials from two university locations on two different days. The material did not appear to have classified markings, according to the source,
President Joe Biden is again lying to the American people, claiming the country is in better shape than he wants you to believe.
On Tuesday, Biden falsely claimed that inflation, including food prices, is on the mend. However, the inflation report revealed that prices increased during January.
"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."
However, the price of grocery store items rose 0.5 percent since the beginning of the year. Over the past 12 months, food prices went up 10.1 percent.
The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension has released the identity of the man who was shot and killed by St. Paul police officers on Saturday. The Ramsey County medical examiner said that Yia Xiong, 65, of St. Paul, died of multiple gunshot wounds.
The BCA also identified the two officers involved in the use-of-force incident:
Officer Abdirahman Dahir, who has one year of law enforcement experience, fired his department rifle.
Officer Noushue Cha, who has one year of law enforcement experience, deployed his taser.
As the months and years go by, we continue to learn more and more about the government’s handling of the pandemic response. And the more we learn, the uglier the picture becomes. I’m not just talking about the federal government here, either. State and municipal government leaders were drinking deeply from the cup of executive authority during a declared state of emergency as well. Today’s story has elements of both and it even involves the Federal Bureau of Investigation, potentially adding another dark mark to the FBI’s record. It’s being alleged that the municipal government

Any number of candidates may jump in to challenge former President Donald Trump for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination but, when it comes to the most buzzworthy name on the list, former Gov. Sarah Palin (R-Alaska) provided her reason for him to stay out of it. (Video) The one time vice presidential nominee joined Newsmax host Eric Bolling on Tuesday’s episode of “The Balance” to discuss a number of topics like network deplatforming and President Joe Biden’s response to the Chinese spy balloon and other objects entering American airspace. When the discussion turned to the 2024 election, Palin seemed to follow President Ronald Reagan’s 11th commandment

Conservative firebrand Kari Lake reminded commentator Piers Morgan exactly why she is considered such as she pushed back hard on his blanket dismissal of election integrity concerns: “I frankly don’t give a damn what you think about it.” (Video) The reported marginal defeat of Lake by then-Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs in the 2022 gubernatorial election by less than a percentage point was the topic du jour when the former news anchor joined “Piers Morgan Uncensored” last week. After treating his guest as a potential running mate for former President Donald Trump in his 2024 bid for the White House, Morgan trotted out the oft-repeated lines
Fifty percent of Americans say the national media intend to mislead, misinform, and persuade the public, as just 35 percent say most news organizations could be relied upon, a Gallup and Knight Foundation poll found Tuesday.
While 50 percent say the national media tried to push a false narrative, only 25 percent say the national media do not intend to mislead, misinform, or persuade the public. Twenty-three percent neither agreed nor disagreed.
Nearly 75 percent say the news businesses have enough resources to accurately report the news.
ROME — U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres offered his apocalyptic view of the coming climate catastrophe Tuesday, warning the Security Council that rising seas threaten the very existence of “entire countries.”
In his doomsday address, the U.N.’s alarmist-in-chief declared that the danger “is especially acute for nearly 900 million people who live in coastal zones at low elevations — that’s one out of ten people on Earth.”
“Low-lying communities and entire countries could disappear forever,” Guterres asserted. “We would witness a mass exodus of entire populations on a biblical scale.”
“Rising seas are sinking futures,” Guterres intoned with hyperbolic flourish.
This is a great pro-life message.
A baby girl was born under the rubble of her family’s home in Syria after the 7.8 magnitude earthquakes devastated the area.
Aya, which is Arabic for “a sign from God,” was found by rescue workers after the earthquake hit Turkey and Syria last week. She was still attached to her mother’s umbilical cord and was rushed to the nearby hospital, where she's been ever since. Aya’s mother died after giving birth, along with Aya's father and four siblings.
Thankfully, AP News reports she’s in good health.
Late Monday night, a deranged gunman opened fire on students at Michigan State University, killing three and leaving five others in critical condition. On Tuesday evening, the three evening news broadcasts were quick to jump to their usual playbook of overblowing how frequent mass shootings in the United States are and turning to guests or victims to plea for gun control.All three networks used completely dishonest and inflated statistics that there have been 67 mass shootings in the United States in 2023. Yet ABC's World News Tonight, CBS Evening News & NBC Nightly News had no interest in reporting that the gunman
WASHINGTON — Former President Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign was quick to blast new rival Nikki Haley on Wednesday, noting that she had praised Hillary Clinton in a 2012 interview and had initially vowed not to run for the White House if the former president was also a candidate.
Moments after Haley, the former South Carolina governor and ambassador to the United Nations, launched her presidential bid in Charleston, the Trump campaign sent out an email blast headlined: “The Real Nikki Haley.”
The message listed seven critiques of prior Haley comments,

House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) told Breitbart News that the U.S. Treasury must provide bank records related to court documents that show James Biden’s secretly negotiated a $140 million settlement deal in 2012 between a U.S. company and the Saudi Arabian government due to his relationship with then-Vice President Joe Biden.
“Evidence continues to mount that the Biden family used Joe Biden’s name to secure deals around the world to enrich themselves,” Comer said Wednesday in relation to the court documents.

Forget “America First” for a moment. Put MAGA aside. Any effort to restore American greatness without putting the children first will fail.
If there was any doubt that kids suffer when their own needs are subjugated to the fears and desires of adults, the Covid experience should have cast it out. For years, children en masse were put on the bottom of the priority list. Children are falling behind in education and key developmental milestones, mood disorders and loneliness are up, and suicide ideation has risen dramatically (including during the Covid era). Families are more broken and dysfunctional than in previous decades, and nearly 400,000 children are in foster care.
CNN, ABC, MSNBC and more flipped out over former United Nations ambassador Nikki Haley's 2024 announcement as they claimed that the former South Carolina governor was just a "token" presidential candidate who had "lost her mind." Wajahat Ali, a columnist for the Daily Beast, launched a racially-charged attack against Haley on Twitter. "In the 2023 Racial Draft, I, on behalf of all self-respecting South Asians, hereby announce we are cutting Nikki Nimrata Haley from our team. We advise you not to pick her up off waivers. Oops! Too late. GOP scoops up another token. Well, we warned you. Good luck!" he wrote.
There's been a lot of talk among Republicans about the effect a big primary field might have on the 2024 presidential nomination race. The short version is that a big field is thought to benefit former President Donald Trump, who, as in 2016, would not have to win a majority of votes to win — a plurality, and not even a big one, would be enough. On the other hand, a small field, especially a one-on-one matchup with another candidate, say Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL), might allow the challenger to defeat Trump.
Given that, there are Republican activists in the early voting states who are trying to keep the field small.
At this point, I have to think that CNN CEO Chris Licht must be somewhere behind the scenes, tearing his hair out. Because if he hoped to change the network back into a news network (and I say if), he seems to be being thwarted at every turn by the bad personnel with whom he has been left to deal.
Licht fired a bunch of them, including Brian Stelter and John Harwood. But the ratings for the network have been the worst in nine years (Snip) there’s yet another scandal popping off now at CNN involving the top producer on Jake Tapper’s show.
Actress Raquel Welch, who rose to fame as a sex symbol of the 1960s, died Wednesday after a brief illness, TMZ reported. She was 82.
Her long resume includes “Fantastic Voyage,” “Bedazzled” and “Hannie Caulder.”
Welch is a two-time Golden Globe nominee and won one award in 1975 for her performance in “The Three Musketeers.”
She also appeared on “The Cher Show” in 1975 and performed “I’m a Woman” with Cher.
Born Sept. 5, 1940, Welch was named one of the “100 Sexiest Stars in Film History” by Empire magazine in 1995.
Nikki Haley, the former governor of South Carolina and U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, called for a new generation of leadership during her 2024 presidential campaign kickoff speech on Wednesday, taking shots at the older generation of politicians in the White House and in Congress.
“We’re ready to move past the stale ideas and faded names of the past and we are more than ready for a new generation to lead us into the future,” said Haley, who at 51 would offer a change in pace from 80-year-old President Joe Biden and 76-year-old former president Donald Trump. Trump is the only other candidate who has formally announced a 2024 bid.
For much of 2017 through 2021, Americans suffered the “bombshell” and “walls are closing” mythologies first of Russian collusion, then of supposedly vast Russian social media investments to sabotage the election. From there we moved on to the Alfa Bank (snip) the supposed Putin bounties on U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan that Trump was said to have ignored and, of course, the idea that Hunter’s laptop was just “Russian disinformation.”
These were journalistic sins of commission, warping the news cycle to advance ideological agendas and win elections. There emerged, however, other real landmines of omission—things the media deliberately ignores, but have the potential to go off and blow up a presidency.

Former President Donald Trump leads former Gov. Nikki Haley (R-SC) and his other potential Republican primary opponents in South Carolina, the second GOP primary state in the nation, according to a poll.
Trump has the support of 35.1 percent of South Carolina Republican primary voters sampled in a Neighborhood Research and Media poll released Wednesday, giving him a double-digit lead.

Washington — The Justice Department has formally decided not to charge Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida in relation to a sex trafficking investigation, sources familiar with the matter told CBS News, with career federal prosecutors informing witnesses of the decision on Wednesday.
The four-term congressman has been under investigation for several years to determine if he violated sex trafficking laws and obstructed justice in that probe. Gaetz has previously denied all wrongdoing, and said he has never paid for sex nor had sex with an underage girl. CNN first reported that the department had decided against charging Gaetz.

Los Angeles, California city officials announced a new public safety initiative which implements yoga, meditation and healing circles to homeless communities as an alternative form of unarmed policing. The initiative's launch cost the city of Los Angeles $2.2 million in city funding. At a briefing on Monday, Councilwoman Monica Rodriguez, who chairs the City Council's public safety committee, announced the Project TURN initiative-which stands for Therapeutic Unarmed Response for Neighborhoods. The initiative aims at providing trauma training and services to 100 community intervention workers to tackle retaliatory violence.

U.S. military and intelligence agencies tracked the Chinese spy balloon for nearly a week before it violated American airspace last month, according to a new report.
As the U.S. monitored the balloon, it appeared headed for the U.S. territory of Guam. But the balloon was seemingly blown off course and instead ended up over Alaska’s Aleutian Islands before ultimately floating over the continental United States, the Washington Post reported.
U.S. officials are considering the possibility that China did not intend to send the spy balloon over the continental United States, but instead took advantage of the balloon being blown off course to surveil sensitive locations in Montana.
Nicola Sturgeon, Scotland’s first minister, announced her resignation on Wednesday, saying that she had become too polarizing a figure — an acknowledgment that comes amid a tense fight over gender law in the country.
“My judgment now is that a new leader will be better able to do this,” Sturgeon said in a surprise announcement after more than eight years in office. “Someone about whom the mind about almost everyone in the country is not already made up, for better or worse. Someone who is not subject to quite the same polarized opinions, fair or unfair, as I now am.”
She said was was worn down by the “brutality” of political life.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — A group of Catholic women claims they were denied Communion at an Englewood church for wearing rainbow-colored face masks. Sally Odenheimer said it was an effort to show support for Maggie Barton, an LGBTQ teacher fired from the church’s affiliated Catholic school. Barton claims she was fired from All Souls Catholic School in Englewood after the Archdiocese of Denver learned of her same-sex relationship.The Archdiocese said she was fired because she violated her contract, which includes “refraining from taking any public position or conducting himself or herself in a manner that is contrary to the teachings of the Catholic Church.”

Joe and Victoria have been targeted by Merrick Garland’s Department of Justice (details below), and despite being lawyers themselves, need expensive legal and support work to help them fight back. They have targeted $500,000 as their goal to help fund this struggle, and a GiveSendGo account has been established by my friend (and AT contributor) Mark. J. Fitzgibbons to help them.

On Tuesday, White House spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre claimed President Biden is the "the best communicator" in the White House," sparking laughter across Twitter. After being questioned by a reporter about whether Biden is viewed by his team as "equally adept in all settings in terms of communications," Jean-Pierre insisted that the president's communication skills are the best in his administration.
Many on Twitter balked at Jean-Pierre's statement. Biden has a long history of being lampooned for his word flubs and sometimes incomprehensible speech at public events.

There were two things that I missed during Sunday’s Super Bowl LVII in Glendale, Arizona, between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles.
The first was Kansas City’s game-winning drive, which saw kicker Harrison Butker seal the underdog Chiefs’ 38-35 victory with a last-second field goal. My inattention was unintentional; my daughter, in the throes of a stomach flu that’s currently working its way through the family, decided to decorate our floor as the game came down to the wire. Que sera sera.
The second was pop star Rihanna’s halftime show — or at least the audio portion. This was wholly intentional, since I’ve heard Rihanna’s music before
Democratic Rep. Angie Craig, D-Minn., is calling for serious action against the rising crime crisis and for prosecution of repeat offenses after she was reportedly assaulted by a man who had a rap sheet full of violent crimes. "I got attacked by someone who the District of Columbia has not prosecuted fully over the course of almost a decade, over the course of 12 assaults before mine that morning," Craig told CBS News in an interview. "And so I think we have to think about how in the world can we make sure that we’re not just letting criminals out."

Almost exactly two years ago today, the New York Times ran an article headlined: “Biden and Fed Leave 1970s Inflation Fears Behind.”
That story has not aged well. Neither have the troika of ideologues and imbeciles behind the rebirth of ‘70s-era inflation.
On Tuesday, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that prices climbed 0.5% in January, which is up from December’s 0.1% hike. Prices were up 6.4% over the year before, which is higher than economists had been predicting and comes amid warnings that inflationary pressures are building again.
This all comes one week after President Biden reassured the nation that “here at home, inflation is coming down.”

Since President Trump left office, many of the “trustworthy” media outlets have created a talking point that is now held by a minority, yet noticeable number of Conservative Americans. The belief is “DeSantis is Trump, without the baggage.” This group supported President Trump’s policies and felt he did a tremendous job as president, but now feel the baggage that came with Trump would not be present with Ron DeSantis. Many have taken this a step further and believe this baggage would give DeSantis (or others) a better chance of winning in a general election against the Democrat nominee than President Trump.

What Are Judeo-Christian Values?
replies
The term “Judeo-Christian values” is frequently used.
I am one who uses it.
I do so for the same reason the late great British prime minister Margaret Thatcher did. “The truths of the Judaic-Christian tradition,” she said, “are infinitely precious, not only, as I believe, because they are true, but also because they provide the moral impulse which alone can lead to that peace, in the true meaning of the word, for which we all long . . . There is little hope for democracy if the hearts of men and women in democratic societies cannot be touched by a call to something greater than themselves.”
Senators were given a closed-door briefing on Tuesday on the three “objects” that were shot down over the U.S. and Canada over the weekend.
While many of the Senators were limited in what they could say because the meeting was classified, senators on both sides of the aisle said that the Biden team should make the information known to the American people. Both sides called for more transparency from the Biden team.
“There is a lot of information presented to us this morning that could be told to the American people without any harm to sources or methods or national security,” Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) said.

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine took to the podium on Tuesday to update reporters and citizens about the devastating train derailment in E. Palestine, Ohio, on February 3. The small town has been reeling in the wake of the derailment and subsequent controlled burn of dangerous chemicals days after the wreck. One of the most astounding revelations from the press conference (watch below) was that the train was not classified as carrying hazardous chemicals.
“I learned today from the PUCO [Public Utilities Council of Ohio] that this train was not considered a high hazardous material train,” DeWine said. As a result, the railroad was not required to notify anyone in Ohio
U.S. intelligence officials were tracking the spy balloon that was shot down earlier this month since it lifted off from the south coast of China, U.S. officials said Tuesday.
According to U.S. officials, after takeoff, the spy balloon drifted east in the direction of Guam and Hawaii and then went north to Alaska and entered U.S. airspace on Jan. 28. Given the path, it's possible that the balloon was blown off course by weather, but U.S. officials said that once it came south over the continental United States, it was being controlled by China.
The tracking of the balloon was first reported by The Washington Post. China has insisted
