Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., blasted Democratic Senator John Fetterman's "unbecoming" decision to attend a Senate press conference while wearing a hoodie and shorts. "John Fetterman redefined Casual Friday on a Thursday morning," Boebert wrote on Twitter. "It’s truly unbecoming for someone to show up like that to any job, let alone a job that only 100 people are elected to do." The Pennsylvania senator attended a Thursday news conference to discuss debt limit negotiations wearing a white hoodie, gray workout shorts, and running shoes, while standing alongside four fellow Democratic Senators who all were dressed in a suit and tie.

The reaction to the recent New York City subway confrontation that resulted in the death of homeless man Jordan Neely and the arrest of former Marine Sergeant Daniel Penny demonstrates so much of what has gone wrong with our society and how far the level of civil discourse has fallen. (Snip) In the moments prior to the tragic encounter that led to his death, Neely was throwing garbage at subway passengers and screaming that he didn’t care if he went to prison for the rest of his life. Several passengers dialed 911 for police assistance. Others would later say how

WASHINGTON — The Pentagon has overestimated the value of the weapons it has sent to Ukraine by at least $3 billion — an accounting error that could be a boon for the war effort because it will allow the Defense Department to send more weapons now without asking Congress for more money. The acknowledgment Thursday comes at a time when Pentagon is under increased pressure by Congress to show accountability for the billions of dollars it has sent in weapons, ammunition and equipment to Ukraine and as some lawmakers question whether that level of support should continue. It also could free up
The oldest member of the US Senate contracted encephalitis, a brain inflammation, her office has said, after a bout of shingles that left her unable to sit on key committee. Dianne Feinstein, 89, also developed Ramsay Hunt syndrome, which can cause facial paralysis, her office said. The encephalitis resolved itself, but she continues to deal with Ramsay Hunt syndrome, the statement said. She returned to Washington on 10 May after nearly three months of absence. The California Democrat was admitted to hospital after being diagnosed with shingles in late February and recovered at home in San Francisco. Her spokesman
One of the most vocal bystanders as a Minneapolis police officer murdered George Floyd three years ago is suing the city, alleging he was assaulted and suffered emotional distress as he witnessed the handcuffed Black man beg for his life, go limp and stop breathing. Donald Williams of Minneapolis filed the lawsuit Tuesday in Hennepin County District Court. (Snip) Because of the officers’ conduct, William has endured emotional distress, pain, suffering, humiliation, embarrassment and medical expenses, according to the lawsuit. A city spokesperson told The Associated Press in an email Wednesday that the City Attorney’s Office does not have a

Wing Activists’ That Laura Ingraham
Is Getting Fired 10 replies
Fox News released a statement on Wednesday blasting “left wing activists” who took to Twitter and reported that the network planned to fire prime time host Laura Ingraham after Matt Drudge’s eponymous news aggregation site reported on a prime time shake-up at the network. The Drudge Report dropped a siren-blaring headline on Wednesday morning, teasing major scheduling changes at the long-dominant cable news network. The site eventually reported that Sean Hannity would take over Tucker Carlson’s old 8 p.m. time slot and that hosts Jesse Watters and Greg Gutfeld would also be moved to prime time. A Fox News spokesperson
A Washington Post reporter admitted Wednesday to passing along a misquote of Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., from the lawmaker's office that drastically cleaned up his actual remarks. Economics reporter Jeff Stein took criticism for tweeting that Fetterman had asked Silicon Valley Bank ex-CEO Greg Becker, "Shouldn't you have a working requirement after we bail out your bank? Republicans seen to be more preoccupied with SNAP requirements for hungry people than protecting taxpayers that have to bail out these banks." However, Fetterman, still suffering speaking and cognitive issues from a stroke he had a year ago, was much less clear in
Target (TGT) has become a target for major thefts, and it's taking a huge chunk out of profits. The retailer estimated in its earnings release Wednesday that inventory shrinkage — mostly the theft of merchandise — would clip profits by a whopping $500 million this year. Factoring in an about $700 million profit hit from inventory shrinkage in 2022, Target is on pace to see $1.2 billion in profits go up in smoke, due primarily to organized retail crime. Target Chairman and CEO Brian Cornell says the problem is getting worse, is nationwide, and across various merchandise departments. "The unfortunate
While appearing at the 34th annual GLAAD Media Awards over the weekend, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre insisted that trans kids are "our kids" and "belong to all of us" in response to what she called "anti-LGBTQ+ legislation." Speaking with the website Jezebel at the event on Saturday, Jean-Pierre, who identifies as "queer," talked about the importance of representation and visibility for young people. She also insisted that there needed to be more moments to "call out" Republican legislation for the sake of trans children. "There are more than 600 pieces of anti-LGBTQ+ legislation out there. A few hundred
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — San Francisco resident Pia Harris hopes for reparations in her lifetime. But the nonprofit program director is not confident that California lawmakers will turn the recommendations of a first-in-the-nation task force into concrete legislation given pushback from opponents who say slavery was a thing of the past. It frustrates Harris, 45, that reparations opponents won’t acknowledge that life for Black people did not improve with the abolition of chattel slavery in 1865. Black families have been unable to accumulate wealth through property ownership and higher education. Black boys and teenagers are still told to watch out for

Democratic Massachusetts Sen. Ed Markey introduced a bill to pack the Supreme Court on Tuesday, claiming during a press conference on the legislation that Justices Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett have “no right” to be on the Court. Markey’s Judiciary Act of 2023, which pro-abortion groups Planned Parenthood and NARAL Pro-Choice America endorsed, would add four seats to the Supreme Court. During his press conference on the Supreme Court steps, Markey called for Justice Clarence Thomas to resign and claimed that two justices have “no right to be there.” “In 2016, Senate Republicans broke the rules and packed the
Residents of California have been leaving the state in droves over the last few years due to radical policies and high prices governing the state. Many former residents have been settling in more politically red states, such as Florida and Texas, which have seen immense population growth. California is the home of Hollywood, the center of the film industry. Actor Dennis Quaid explained to "Jesse Watters Primetime" why there is a push from actors to move the film industry out of California to Texas. "We want to make Texas the film capital of the world. That's what Texas used to

The World Health Organization (W.H.O.) warns in a report released Friday that rising temperatures could lead to more than nine million additional deaths each year by the end of the century.
The W.H.O., which has been criticized for its close ties to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), declared in its annual World Health Statistics report that “climate change continues to degrade the environmental and social determinants of physical and mental health, posing enormous risks to us all.” “Climate change is one of the greatest health challenges of the 21st century,” the W.H.O. alleges.
Former US Attorney General Bill Barr on Thursday predicted Special Counsel Jack Smith will indict Trump in August or September.
Jack Smith reportedly has “new and significant evidence” of potential Trump obstruction in the Mar-a-Lago classified documents case.Biden’s Justice Department has nothing on Trump so they are going to try to get him on ‘obstruction’ charges.
Jack Smith is also investigating Trump’s effort to raise money off of ‘false claims of election fraud,’ according to a leak to the Washington Post.
Federal prosecutors are investigating money raised between November 3, 2020 and January 20, 2021.

A printer error in Nassau County, New York turned every registered voter in the county Democrat.
The printer reportedly botched over 976,000 voter registration cards and labeled every voter in the county Democrat.
Republicans make up over 60% of registered voters in Nassau County which left many Conservatives in the county feeling absolutely blindsided by the error.
Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman told NBC 4 News “We’re already starting to get phone calls from people, saying ‘I’m a registered Republican, I’m a registered Conservative – how come I’m being identified as a Democrat? Who changed my registration?’ And they’re quite upset about it.”
The NAACP's national board of directors has issued a formal travel advisory for Florida, warning black and LGBTQ people against visiting the state due to Governor Ron DeSantis' policies.
'Florida is openly hostile toward African Americans, people of color and LGBTQ+ individuals,' states the advisory issued on Saturday night by the civil rights group.
'Before traveling to Florida, please understand that the state of Florida devalues and marginalizes the contributions of, and the challenges faced by African Americans and other communities of color,' it adds.
We are living in an age of mass deception, distraction and denial, of mass brainwashing. We might as well all be living in Jonestown, Guyana and following the orders of Jim Jones.
That’s how bad it is. It’s all laid out right in front of us. But no one can see it. Or maybe no one wants to see it. The Durham Report is “the canary in the coal mine.”
It’s all Obama. It’s always been Obama. Obama is the REAL “Big Guy.” Obama is the REAL criminal mastermind. Obama was the head of the snake. Obama was the John Gotti of the US government, overseeing a massive criminal conspiracy.
Every so often, the race industry in America — let’s call it what it is — seemingly feels like they are not getting enough attention, and so they come forward with some new absurd way to get that attention, apparently clinging to the notion that there is no such thing as bad publicity. The latest to attempt that is far-left congressional squad member, Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO). Bush has glommed onto an idea that is certainly not new and is hugely unpopular with roughly half the country. But Bush has decided to give it the old college try and float it once again.

As an attorney and retired NYPD Inspector, I’ve been told some stories in my day. This one lands someplace between "Beowulf"and Monty Python. So let us now uncover these mysteries, hidden deep in the tale.
As we’ve all heard by now, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex (wasn’t he recently banished from the realm or something?) are claiming that on Tuesday night, after leaving an event in Manhattan’s midtown, they were pursued by paparazzi in a "near catastrophic" car chase that went on for two hours.
Rep. Lauren Boebert didn't hold back when it came to criticizing Democrat Senator John Fetterman's decision to wear a hoodie and shorts to a Senate press conference on Thursday.
The Colorado Republican was so incensed she took to Twitter to express her disapproval, calling Fetterman's appearance 'truly unbecoming.'
She argued that such attire was inappropriate for any job, especially considering the limited number of individuals elected to serve in the Senate.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein spent months missing from the Senate. As far as the public was concerned, she had shingles, and that’s it. End of story. Nothing to worry about, she’ll be back soon, ready to return to business, case closed, let’s stop talking about her resigning, shall we?
Except this wasn’t just a simple case of an 89-year-old woman with shingles. It wasn’t until after Feinstein returned to the Senate that her office confirmed the senior senator from California was admitted to the hospital with serious neurological complications resulting from shingles. The condition, which is called encephalitis, affected her brain and face.
“No Labels” has been “gaining steam” and raising money to hopefully get a candidate on the 2024 ballot, with Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) at the top of the political group’s list, the New York Times reported.
The group — which has been working to allow all 50 states to vote on a third-party candidate in the presidential election — is trying to raise a large war chest in order to have a “well-funded” “unity ticket” on the ballot in the 2024 presidential election, the Times reported.

Before we dig into the main course, a few words about polling in general. First, it’s been my experience that many—if not most—casual poll watchers tend to pay selective attention to polls, not unlike Fox News or CNN viewers who watch various on-air personalities to be told what they want to hear.
Second, we’ve seen candidates laud the results of a particular poll when its results favor them, then turn around and call the exact same polls “fake” when they don’t like the poll’s latest results. Third, while pre-primary polls conducted among likely voters of a single party might be lauded by various candidates and their followers, polls conducted among
The Biden administration is now funding a book on “drag queens, trans taxi drivers, cruising gay men and femme witches” by a drag performer who writes LGTBQ books for children.
The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) awarded a $60,000 grant to Harris Kornstein, who performs in drag as Lil Miss Hot Mess.
Kornstein is the co-founder and board member of Drag Queen Story Hour and wrote the children’s books “The Hips on the Drag Queen Go Swish, Swish, Swish” and “If You’re a Drag Queen and You Know It.”
The grant, which was awarded in January, is for a book about how drag queens “playfully dazzle both the human senses
