Secretary of State Marco Rubio clashed with Hillary Clinton’s former running mate Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia Tuesday over the Trump administration’s decision to declare Afrikaner farmers as refugees. The Trump administration granted refugee status to the white South African farmers in a Feb. 7 executive order issued by President Donald Trump. During a hearing held by the Senate Appropriations Committee’s Subcommittee on State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs, Kaine questioned Rubio about the decision.

Comments:

If Kaine is remembered for anything it will be when Hillary was looking for a VEEP he was the only dim who made her look good.

One of DOGE’s accomplishments was seeing that Tim Kaines’s son was fired from his SES position as Chief of Staff of Customs and Border Protection- a job for which he was unqualified.

Kaine needs to get over his ridiculous quest to save the poor “colored” people like he is some Irish Catholic Don Quixote Great White Hope, tilting with roving gangs of flesh eating white supremicists. Anyone who has set foot in Maryland in the past 20 years knows exactly what Kaine is up to. Roadside vegetable stands are now manned by nearly unintelligible East Asians and seafood and American restaurants throughout the state have been replaced by Mexican and Central American fare made and served by Spanish speakers. Churches are now iglesias and billboards with public notices feature pictures of gavels and urgent messages in Spanish. Kaine is not a hero, he’s a hack who burnishes Rubio’s appearance whenever they meet.

The diagnosis follows renewed scrutiny on Biden’s physical and mental decline, along with its cover-up, ahead of the release of a book on the subject titled “Original Sin” by CNN anchor Jake Tapper and Axios reporter Alex Thompson.

Democratic Michigan Rep. Shri Thanedar dropped his ill-fated effort to force the House to vote on his impeachment resolution against President Donald Trump following widespread pressure from Democrats to stand down. Thanedar, an embattled two-term lawmaker facing a primary challenge from the left, filed a privileged resolution Tuesday that would have forced House Democrats to vote on seven articles of impeachment brought against the president. Thanedar’s decision to cave to House Democratic leadership and not trigger a vote Wednesday, comes as Democrats viewed his impeachment effort as a distraction from the conference’s united opposition against the president’s “one big, beautiful bill.”

A Seattle man travelled more than 60 miles to find help after falling 400ft off a mountain in an accident that killed his three companions. Authories say the protective equipment used by the group failed on Saturday in the northern Cascade mountain range, in an area called the Early Winter Spires.

Connected to each other by ropes, the group fell about 200ft (60m) through the air, before tumbling another 200ft over rocks, dirt and snow.

The joint statement, released by the British government on Monday, said, “We strongly oppose the expansion of Israel’s military operations in Gaza.

Americans celebrating Memorial Day by hitting the road will likely be paying the cheapest gas prices since 2003. GasBuddy, a fuel savings platform, said Tuesday that it forecasts the national average price of gasoline to be $3.08 per gallon on Memorial Day. That would make it the cheapest since 2021 in nominal terms. After adjusting for inflation, it would be the lowest since 2003. This is not expected to be short-lived. Prices of gasoline are expected to average around $3.02 per gallon between Memorial Day and Labor Day, with prices falling below three dollars on some days.

Media reports are laced with unsubstantiated claims that man is overheating his planet. Every time climate change is mentioned in a story, even features in a newspaper’s food or fashion pages, it is understood that humans are turning Earth into a muggy greenhouse by burning fossil fuel. No evidence is provided to corroborate the claim. Man-made global warming just is and skeptics are deplorables. But the facts tell a different story. Roy Spencer, a University of Alabama-Huntsville climate scientist, has determined that “65% of the U.S. linear warming trend between 1895 and 2023 was due to increasing population density at the suburban and urban stations;

Honestly, I hope that Jill plans to go to confession and admit that she loved the title of First Lady a lot more than being a devoted wife. My guess is there a lot of ladies in the country who can't believe her disregard for Joe Biden's health and well-being. Again, she loved the title and staff. And now there is prostate cancer: The 82-year-old former president was diagnosed Friday after doctors found a “small nodule” on his prostate during a medical exam earlier this month -- with the cancer cells having spread to the bone, his spokesman revealed Sunday.
