President Joe Biden’s top national security aides told reporters on Monday that despite the risks it entailed, the president felt it was “really important” to make the surprise trip to Ukraine.
“He was excited about making the trip. I think he felt it was really important to stand up next to President Zelenskyy and speak the way that he did today,” National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said on a conference call with press. “[He] felt he had an important mission to undertake, and he was eager to do it,” he added. Another aide on the call said his visit was a demonstration of Biden’s commitment to Ukraine.
Let’s be brutally honest, shall we? And I mean to cast no aspersions on Walmart, but when even Walmart finally packs up and skedaddles out of your city, it’s a strong indication that your city is in pretty bad shape. And when Lori Lightfoot is your mayor, you live in Chicago, and you know exactly what I’m talking about.
Closing stores isn’t rare for Walmart, particularly given its more than 5,000 stores nationwide. As ABC affiliate WLS-TV in Chicago reported the giant retailer closed 160 stores over the past couple of years, but with 5,000 stores the company has to be flexible and the bottom line is, literally, it has to go
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg is facing more pressure this week over the Ohio train disaster, with former President Donald Trump set to visit the state Wednesday amid GOP calls for Buttigieg to resign or face impeachment over the train derailment.
Ohio GOP Rep. Warren Davidson on Friday called for Buttigieg to be impeached over the matter, after a train derailment spewed toxic chemicals and caused residents to complain of headaches and other symptoms.
'I hope [Buttigieg] does resign, and if he doesn't, you know, there's a long list of impeachment criteria. I never would have thought we'd see a point where we need to impeach a secretary of Transportation,
America is bracing for a mass exodus of retail stores across the nation this year, with more than 800 big box locations set to close from California to New York.
Among the iconic names to announce they are downsizing includes Bed Bath & Beyond, Walmart, Gap and Party City.
At least 803 stores are set to be shuttered over the rest of 2023, with many forced into desperate cost cutting measures amid rampant inflation and declining bottom lines.
The move comes as numerous industries continue to struggle, including Silicon Valley's 'tech wreck' which has seen over 70,000 jobs lost in recent months.
The request from Alec Baldwin's attorneys to drop a five-year gun-enhancement charge against the actor has been granted.
The Santa Fe New Mexican reports the Sante Fe District Attorney's Office dropped the charge against Baldwin and armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed on Monday. Baldwin still faces a charge of involuntary manslaughter in the shooting death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins during production of the film Rust.
Conviction on the gun-enhancement charge carries a mandatory five-year sentence. If convicted of involuntary manslaughter, Baldwin would face an 18-month sentence.
“This is a major cultural issue of our time,” Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey (R) told Breitbart News as he begins an investigation into a St. Louis gender clinic.
Appearing on Breitbart News Saturday, Bailey said his office’s investigation into Washington University Transgender Center at St. Louis Children’s Hospital will be comprehensive.
“It’s an all-hands-on-deck approach; we’re not going to leave any stone unturned because the allegations are significant,” Bailey said, referring to an affidavit from whistleblower Jamie Reed who previously worked at the clinic. “We began an investigation, we’ve marshaled state resources, and we’re now leading a multi-agency investigation.”
Social media users piled on Vice President Kamala Harris’ tweet from Sunday that featured an unmasked Harris posing with a young Black girl wearing a mask.
Harris posted the picture from her personal account, along with a comment meant to inspire "Black women and girls everywhere."
"My message to Black women and girls everywhere: Never ask for permission to lead," Harris tweeted. (Tweet) Twitter users attacked the irony of the choice of the image and quote.

James O’Keefe, the guerilla filmmaker known for exposing left-wing politicians and institutions, is out at Project Veritas, the conservative media company he founded more than a decade ago.
In a 45-minute video, which appears to have been filmed Monday at Project Veritas’s office, O’Keefe announced that he was “packing up my personal belongings” after he had been indefinitely suspended from his role as CEO and removed from the group’s board of directors.
O’Keefe, who appeared to be talking to gathered Project Veritas staffers, said the video, which was published anonymously on the streaming platform Vimeo, was “just for us,”

Public health officials will provide medical assistance to residents of East Palestine, Ohio, in a greater response to increasing fears in the community after a train loaded with toxic chemicals derailed more than two weeks ago, leading to possible contamination of the air and drinking water in the region.
Starting Tuesday, health experts with the Ohio Department of Health, the Columbiana County Health Department, and U.S. Department of Health and Human Services will meet face-to-face with citizens for two weeks as part of a series of public health clinics to answer medical questions and provide health assessments, medical care and other assistance
This is part of a Washington Examiner investigative series on self-styled "disinformation" tracking groups that are blacklisting and trying to defund conservative media outlets. Here is where you can read stories in the series.~~
As a direct result of multiple Washington Examiner reports, a State Department-backed nonprofit group is severing its financial relationship with a "disinformation" tracking organization that is secretly blacklisting and taking steps to shut down conservative media.
The National Endowment for Democracy, a group funded almost entirely through congressional appropriations, granted $545,750 between 2020 and 2021 to the Global Disinformation Index, which is feeding conservative website blacklists to advertising companies.
Nearly 150,000 cans of baby formula are being recalled for deadly bacteria contamination.
Reckitt, based in the UK, is recalling cans manufactured between August and September and sold across the US, Guam and Puerto Rico because of potential Cronobacter sakazakii contamination.
The bacteria lives in very dry places and sporadically appears as a contaminant in dry foods like formula, powdered milk and herbal teas. It can lead to deadly complications like sepsis and meningitis when ingested.

Following President Joe Biden's surprise visit to the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv on Monday, senior members of his administration detailed the security discussions that led up to the decision to go on the trip and the content of the meetings Biden had with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy over the course of his roughly five hours in the city. (Snip) "We did notify the Russians that President Biden would be traveling to Kyiv. We did so some hours before his departure for deconfliction purposes," Jake Sullivan, the national security adviser to the president, told reporters on Monday morning in a press
On Monday evening, Project Veritas released a statement responding to founder James O’Keefe’s resignation.
The board of directors claimed O’Keefe spent an excessive amount of money on unnecessary expenses.
It is worth noting that the following expenses were all mentioned and refuted by O’Keefe in his resignation speech.
READ THE STATEMENT BELOW:
Today, James O’Keefe decided to remove his belongings from Project Veritas headquarters. The Board and Management made numerous attempts in the last 14 days to have a conversation with James, but he ignored our outreach and decided to instead leak private information to others, either by doing so himself or by proxy.
As we reported earlier, Joe Biden made a “surprise” visit to Ukraine to meet with President Volodymyr Zelensky to appear tough to Americans after getting a lot of backlash for his handling of a Chinese spy balloon over the United States. But while it was a surprise to Americans, the Russians were told before we were.Then Biden tweeted that Ukraine had “captured a part of my heart,” infuriating Americans who believed he doesn’t give a darn about Americans including in places in crisis, like the border and East Palestine, Ohio. Americans think he’s more “captured” by what he (or his family) can get from Ukraine, while our money is

Sen. Joe Manchin III is escalating his attacks on corporations and financial firms that embrace environmental, social and governance investing as the ESG movement also suffers setbacks in corporate boardrooms.
Once mum on the hot-button issue, the West Virginia Democrat has increasingly targeted the investment strategy that makes fighting climate change a top consideration.
Mr. Manchin insisted to The Washington Times in a recent interview that his warning that ESG hurts energy security when geopolitical risks go ignored was “not criticizing ESG” or the responsibility to address climate change. But he has begun to sound more like his Republican colleagues who dub ESG “woke capitalism.”
President Joe Biden’s appointee to represent the U.S. at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) formerly served as a member of an organization which experts have identified as a Chinese Communist Party (CCP) intelligence front group, according to a spokesman from the company he leads.
Dominic Ng, CEO of East West Bank, served at an “executive-director level” in an “honorary position” at the China Overseas Exchange Association (COEA), yet allegedly withdrew from the organization in 2014 due to “non-participation,” according to statements an East West Bank spokesman made to American Banker on Friday.
Make it Go Away

Some of my friends think Biden has been a punching bag for conservatives, while others can't believe how much Biden gets away with. Since both can't be true, which is it? Biden may be the least transparent president in history, although he claims the contrary. Biden has done just 22 media interviews, fewer than any of his six most recent White House predecessors at this point in their presidencies. Why? By avoiding answering revealing questions, could he be seeking to make it all go away?
There are two primary reasons Biden does not meet with the public more often.
Ever since Ted Cruz became a U.S. senator in 2012, originally riding the wave of the Tea Party grassroots conservative movement, he has won many fans. He’s an outspoken conservative who’s willing to confront the rampant corruption and hypocrisy in Washington, D.C. His experience as a lawyer and debater has made him a powerful voice for his constituents and brought him close to becoming the Republican nominee for president in 2016.
In many ways, he was an outsider and populist before it was cool, holding no elected offices prior to his upset in 2012. Unfortunately for Cruz, in 2016 another candidate demonstrated he was even more of a populist and outsider.
A California city council member was arrested for allegedly committing election fraud.
Lodi City Council member Shakir Khan, a Democrat, was arrested on Thursday for multiple election fraud charges, including allegedly stashing 41 mail-in ballots at his home, falsifying voter registration documents, and pressuring residents to vote for him. Investigators claim, based partially on body cam footage of police interviews, that Khan registered 23 people to vote at his home address and used his phone number to register 47 people to vote.

Several people were sent to a hospital for burns Monday after a metal factory in the Cleveland area of Ohio went up in flames, creating a large plume of smoke from the building.
Local media reported witnesses heard a big “boom” shortly after 2:00 p.m. at the I Schumann & Co. metal and paint plant in Oakwood Village, which produces copper alloys, in Bedford, Ohio. Several ambulances and authorities raced to the scene to rescue victims and contain the fire.

On NPR's Weekend Edition Saturday, host Scott Simon sounded like state-run radio as he touted Biden's latest physical showed "a strong and vigorous man" as Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley "openly played the age card" in her announcement. NPR political analyst Ron Elving insisted "any kind of dissing of old folks is a risky strategy and likely to backfire." Liberals parade around their hopes as "news."
It began like this:

Insiders claim Meghan Markle has been left 'upset and overwhelmed' for the past few days at how she and Prince Harry are depicted in an episode of South Park.
The episode, titled 'World Privacy Tour' pokes fun at the couple's grievances, while Meghan is introduced cuttingly as a 'sorority girl, actress, influencer, victim,' by another character.
The satirical series ridiculed the couple's demands for privacy while on a publicity blitz for the prince's autobiography 'Waaaah' - a dig at Harry's recent memoir Spare - in last week's brutal episode.
According to a source in California, Meghan spent the last few days ‘upset and overwhelmed’ over how she was portrayed.
The problem with Don Lemon is that nobody has ever told him he’s not as good as he thinks he is.
He’s handsome and works in an industry that can inflate even the most constrained egos. Clearly, the CNN anchor has no constraints. He has allowed his ego to grow bigger than a Chinese weather balloon. We are watching in real time the inevitable process of cutting Lemon down to size. It’s not CNN doing that.
He’s doing it to himself by exposing his toxic chauvinism to female colleagues. Ever since he lost his solo primetime show due to low ratings, Lemon has been having an internal tantrum that regularly erupts

Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis’ team fired back at New York City Mayor Eric Adams, a Democrat, after the mayor offered to teach the Florida governor about the crime-ridden city's "values." Adams took a shot at DeSantis as the Florida governor kicked off his pro-police tour through Democrat-run cities in the City that Never Sleeps on Monday.
"Welcome to NYC, [DeSantis], a place where we don’t ban books, discriminate against our LGBTQ+ neighbors, use asylum seekers as props, or let the government stand between a woman and health care," Adams wrote on Monday.
“Project Veritas” founder and CEO James O’Keefe has left the company he founded after a group of his staff reportedly tried to oust him.
O’Keefe was put on paid leave as the organization’s board considered whether they would oust him. Employees had been dissatisfied by O’Keefe’s management and alleged he wasted money and was “outright cruel” to his staff, according to the The Daily Beast.
O’Keefe announced to his staff Monday that he was ousted as CEO and from the board in an emotional 15-minute video.
Taylor Brock is her name, and RedState was the first to break this mother’s story about the choking assault against her seventh-grade son, Christian, by a female perpetrator on a school bus. The boy was bullied, then choked, leaving visible marks on his neck, and scars on his psyche. Yet, despite Brock bringing the incident to their attention with the video and photographic receipts, the Fairfax County School District took little to no action on her son’s behalf.
Brock has since retained the counsel of Cheri Belkowitz and is speaking out to other outlets, including Fox News.
A man has been arrested in connection with the murder of a Catholic bishop who was found shot to death inside his Los Angeles home over the weekend.
Sheriff's deputies responded to Auxiliary Bishop David O'Connell's Hacienda Heights home Saturday afternoon, where they found the clergyman with a gunshot wound to his upper torso in his bed. The 69-year-old was pronounced dead at the scene.
The following day, deputies officially said they were investigating O'Connell's death as a murder before announcing on Monday that they have made an arrest.
Axios is reporting that House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has granted Fox News’s Tucker Carlson exclusive access to 41,000 hours of Capitol videotape from Jan. 6, 2021, (aka J6).FACT-O-RAMA! We were told there were 14,000 hours of surveillance video, but now it appears there are roughly 41,000 hours of tape.
Tucker has long questioned whether J6 was an actual insurrection. The FBI stated in August 2021 they found little evidence that the crowd tried to topple the United States. A Harvard University survey released in August 2022 said the same thing.
Democrats have fought to keep the tapes under wraps. That is understandable, as it’s hard to cry “insurrection” when looking at videos
Al Gore’s hypocrisy is well known: consuming ten times the average household’s electricity in his Tennessee mansion, buying a beachfront mansion in California while warning of sea level rise, flying in private jets while hectoring us about our carbon footprint, etc.
Turns out Gore’s investment fund, Generation Investment Management, dedicated to “sustainable” investing (ESG before it was the cool term) is in on the con, too. Bloomberg reports:
"Espousing a mantra of 'sustainable capitalism,' Generation says it aims to invest in businesses that support 'an equitable, healthy and safe society' and minimize their contribution to global warming. Over time, it became one of the largest such firms, managing a peak $39 billion
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) is expected to meet with law enforcement figures in crime-ridden blue areas — including Chicago, New York, and Philadelphia — touting his approach to crime and support of law enforcement in the Sunshine State, as speculation of a 2024 presidential bid continues to dominate the narrative.
DeSantis has long capitalized on his administration’s support for law enforcement, particularly in the wake of protests, riots, and rising crime over the past few years in blue jurisdictions. While calls to “defund police” dominated the narrative, DeSantis made it clear that Florida would do no such thing

Alec Baldwin is no longer facing years behind bars in connection to the fatal shooting of "Rust" cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.
Prosecutors dropped the firearms enhancement charge originally brought against Baldwin. First Judicial District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies filed the paperwork Monday morning, according to documents obtained by Fox News Digital.
"In order to avoid further litigious distractions by Mr. Baldwin and his attorneys, the District Attorney and the special prosecutor have removed the firearm enhancement to the involuntary manslaughter charges in the death of Halyna Hutchins on the 'Rust' film set," Heather Brewer, spokesperson for the district attorney, told Fox News Digital.

In the past, it would be a safe bet that Bernie Sanders would run against the Democrat establishment candidate.
Not anymore.
Sanders has said he will support Biden, the oldest sitting president, in 2024 if he plans to run again. Biden would be 82 at the start of a second term.
“I think there’s a general consensus right now that President Biden has done, not everything we would like, he has done a good job,” Sanders said on CBS. “And again, I can’t speak for anybody else. But what I have said is, if he runs, announces that he is going to run, I will support him.”
All-terrain vehicle (ATV) and dirt bike riders illegally swarmed roads and highways across Miami-Dade County in a move that generated traffic chaos, WSVN reported Saturday.
At one point, the riders congregated around a portion of the Dolphin Expressway Saturday afternoon and brought traffic to a complete standstill, according to WSVN.
The first rider sightings occurred Friday night in North Miami Beach and Sunny Isles Beach, WSVN reported. One group of ATV and dirt bike riders overtook a Shell gas station.
We have the worst border crisis in history, and the Biden administration insists that our southern border is secure. This disconnect between the narrative and reality is the reason why Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas is currently facing potential impeachment.
Yet, after watching his interview with CNN’s Chris Wallace, it all makes sense.
“Our goal is to achieve operational control of the border, to do everything that we can to support our personnel with the resources, the technology, the policies that really advance the security of the border, and do not come at the cost of the values of our country,” Mayorkas told Wallace.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) on Monday said that President Biden is neglecting domestic problems by making an international trip this week that included a surprise trip to Kyiv to show support for Ukraine in its war with Russia.
“We have a lot of problems accumulating here in our own country that he is neglecting,” DeSantis said in an appearance on Fox News after news of Biden’s surprise trip to visit with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Biden made the visit to the war-torn capital of Kyiv just days before the country’s war with Russia reaches its first anniversary.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) called out President Biden for his "blank-check policy" on Ukraine after the president traveled to Kyiv for an unannounced visit shortly before the one-year mark of Putin's assault.
DeSantis joined "Fox & Friends" Monday to discuss Biden's first visit to the war zone since the conflict started a year ago, and why the newly allocated half-billion dollars in Ukrainian aid is unacceptable without clearly defined goals.
"They have effectively a blank-check policy with no clear, strategic objective identified, and these things can escalate, and I don't think it's in our interests to be getting into a proxy war with China, getting involved
Republican lawmakers from Idaho have introduced a bill that will make it a crime to administer mRNA vaccines in the state, citing safety concerns, which would apply to COVID-19 vaccines manufactured by companies like Pfizer and Moderna.

President Biden's surprise trip to Kyiv, Ukraine, is not expected to have any impact on the Russia-Ukraine war, according to an expert who believes Putin will keep up military pressure in the hopes of forcing Ukraine to negotiate for peace.
Biden arrived in Ukraine on Monday to unveil more U.S. assistance to Ukraine alongside President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. This marks Biden's first visit since Putin invaded the country almost one year ago.

"[S]he uses her Brown skin to launder White supremacist talking points," Ali added.
The long-range missiles matter. So do the super-accurate artillery shells, the surface-to-air missiles, and the winter weather gear; the training in the English countryside or the muddy Grafenwöhr maneuver grounds; and the intelligence provided from the eyes in space and the ears on airplanes that circle outside the battlezone. President Biden’s visit to Kyiv matters just as much as any of these.
Other heads of government preceded him, earning deserved credit. But it is an altogether different thing when the president of the United States—who is, indeed, the leader of the Free World—shows up. His words mattered.
Americans woke up on Monday morning to the news of a surprise visit to Ukraine, by the President of the United States.
Press outlets swooned as Joe Biden was seen walking around the streets of Kyiv with Volodymyr Zelensky, the latter donning his signature olive drab. There were even air raid sirens blaring in the background to really make the scene pop. I’m sort of in the middle on Ukraine aid, believing that some investment in diminishing Russia’s military by proxy is a net positive (but I want less overall and a lot more accountability). What I’m affirmatively against, though, is being gaslit
Two recent news stories converge into one urgent plea. One is the alarming and well-covered story of the Chinese spy balloon. The other: At 23 Baltimore public schools (out of 150), zero students tested proficient in math. That includes 10 high schools. Not surprisingly, this story received far less coverage, including none in The New York Times.
Also ignored was the follow-up news: 77% of Baltimore high-school students read only at elementary-school grade levels. Ignored too was the copy-cat story for Chicago: that of 649 Windy City public schools, 22 have zero students grade-level proficient in reading, and 33 have zero grade-level proficient in math.
U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg has called out the rail operator at the center of a hazardous train derailment in Ohio. In a sharply worded, three-page letter sent Sunday to Norfolk Southern Railway president and CEO Alan Shaw, Buttigieg accused the Atlanta-based company of repeatedly prioritizing profit over safety -- a problematic ethos within the larger transportation industry that the secretary said has contributed to a number of derailments over the years. "The derailment of a Norfolk Southern train carrying hazardous materials near East Palestine, Ohio, has upended the lives of numerous residents, many of whom continue to worry about
President Joe Biden could wait up to a whole year before beginning his re-election campaign should he decide to run for a second term in 2024.
According to a new report, Biden will follow the “Obama model,” in which former President Barack Obama didn’t start campaigning until 13 months after announcing his re-election run.
“Obama went 13 months after the announcement to start campaigning,” NBC News’s Peter Alexander said during an interview on “Meet the Press.” “[Biden] could make an announcement in April and wait until next year to get on the trail.”
A priceless treasure hoard buried by a family fleeing the Second World War has been found 80 years later by the next generation.
The Glazewski family buried their silver and fled their estate in eastern Poland in September 1939 after hearing that the Russians were invading.
Only Adam, the head of the family, stayed behind to face the Russians, who threw him off his land, and nearly executed him before his staff intervened.
Faced with a life under Soviet rule, his four sons never returned to their home near Lviv - formerly part of Poland, today part of Ukraine - and settled around the world.
President Joe Biden arrived in Kyiv on Monday morning on a surprise days before the first anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and declared that Vladimir Putin had failed in his 'war of conquest.'
His visit was shrouded in secrecy. He arrived after the hourslong train journey from Poland with a stripped down press traveling pool of just one reporter and a photographer.
Air raid sirens blared across the besieged Ukrainian capital although there were no reports of Russian missile or air strikes.
The environmental disaster in East Palestine, Ohio, was bizarrely ignored by the Biden administration for weeks. Gov. Mike DeWine reportedly had repeatedly requested assistance from FEMA, but those requests were denied.
However, on Friday, Donald Trump announced his intention to visit East Palestine the following week, and within two hours, it was announced that FEMA would, in fact, come to assist the people of East Palestine.
“FEMA and the State of Ohio have been in constant contact regarding emergency operations in East Palestine. U.S. EPA and Ohio EPA have been working together since day one,” Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine and FEMA regional administrator Thomas Sivak said in a joint statement.
Everyone is mad at Tiger Woods. No, he didn’t cheat on his wife and the mother of his children with multiple women this time. Nor did he drive his car across two lanes of traffic before crashing it. He didn’t even tick everyone off by underperforming during the first round of the Genesis Invitational on Friday, his first official PGA Tour event in over seven months. No, Tiger did something far worse: he made a joke — a joke that offended the ruling class.

Recent revelations that President Joe Biden kept classified government documents at his two namesake think tanks, his Delaware home and even his garage have largely been treated with a yawn by big media. But average Americans are paying attention and worry that Biden's careless stewardship of classified documents endangers U.S. national security, the latest I&I/TIPP Poll shows.
In our national online I&I/TIPP Poll of 1,358 adults, taken from Feb. 1-3, we asked Americans two questions, the first being: "How closely are you following the story about classified documents from Joe Biden's time as Vice President found at his former office and home?"

It is now fashionable to deride our presidents as part of the woke deconstruction and desecration of America. Two of America’s most noble presidents, George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, whom Presidents’ Day honors most especially, are routinely scrutinized by the vandals running through our country and institutions. Why?
The two most consequential presidents are the ones whom the woke despise most. Washington is the “Father” of the United States. But what America is he the father of? The America of liberty, the rule of law, and defender of freedom or the America of racism, white supremacy, and historical injustices? Likewise, Lincoln held the union together,
Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis is set to kick off a pro-police tour starting in New York City to speak with law enforcement officers in blue-led cities who feel unsupported. DeSantis will begin the tour Monday morning by speaking with police officers and law enforcement union officials at a diner in red-leaning borough of Staten Island. The governor will then head to Fort Washington, a Philadelphia suburb, and Elmhurst, Illinois, near Chicago, where he will meet with sheriffs, chiefs of police and other local law enforcement officials, his political team told Fox News Digital.
A major power outage caused by a fire at an electrical substation shut down the Oakland Airport in Northern California Sunday evening.
More than 50,000 customers in the Bay Area were impacted and flights out of the area were halted after a fire broke out at a Pacific Gas and Electric substation around 1pm.
Photos and videos posted on social media show stranded passengers at the airport waiting at their gates and to get through security which was shut down for hours.
A representative for PG&E confirmed the widespread outage on Twitter just after 2.50pm Pacific Standard Time and say they are 'currently investigating the details.'
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Sunday traveled to survey damage from two devastating earthquakes as he announced $100 million in funds for Turkey and Syria.
"Profoundly saddened to see firsthand the devastation of the earthquakes in Turkey. The United States remains committed to doing everything we can to help with rescue, relief and recovery efforts," Blinken said in a statement.
Blinken said the United States has already responded with $85 million in humanitarian assistance after a 7.8-magnitude earthquake struck Turkey and Syria on Feb. 6 followed by a 7.7-magnitude earthquake hours later, leaving tens of thousands dead.
Until a couple of decades ago, voting in the United States was a straightforward exercise that required registered voters to appear at local polling places on Election Day and cast their ballots in person. A small number were permitted to vote absentee if they were stationed overseas in the military or could show that they were otherwise unable to get to the polls. This system, with minor variations, was used in all 50 states and revealed the winners of most elections with alacrity. Though not perfect, it was generally efficient, secure, and trusted by the vast majority of voters.
Vice President Kamala Harris may be watching corporate media show her the door in real time as MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell not only called out President Joe Biden’s “defects” but her “even less favorable ratings” in one-on-one interview.
“They don’t think you’re the right person to be on the ticket,” the host insisted.(Video) Harris has repeatedly come under fire from named and anonymous Democratic insiders alike about the potential liability she poses remaining Biden’s running mate or, worse still, leading a ticket during a presidential election. During a sit down with the vice president as she represented the United States at the Munich Security Conference in Germany,
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg is coming under fire over disasters ranging from the airlines’ holiday meltdown to the train wreck that has spilled chemicals in Ohio — and critics are blaming his cozy ties with the industries he’s supposed to regulate.
Outrage over US air chaos spilled into President Biden’s State of the Union Address earlier this month.
