Newly elected Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (Ga.) lashed out at “hate America Democrats” and their “bloodthirsty media” henchmen on Twitter Wednesday in response to a Democratic initiative to oust her from committee assignments that had reportedly begun to resonate with Republican leadership. Greene — who has drawn condemnation from Democrats, and some Republicans, over
Once Joe Biden became president, CBS News quickly shifted from speaking truth to power to operating as a house organ for the state. On Wednesday, CBS This Morning co-hosts pestered moderate Democratic senator Joe Manchin about being too bipartisan and the need to just follow orders. Tony Dokoupil began the segment by fretting about the
Bottlenecks in the supply of COVID vaccine have resulted in shortages across the country and it doesn’t appear that the problem with distribution will ease before late May or June. At that time, there should be at least 4 approved vaccines with a high degree of effectiveness. But the biggest problem in taming the coronavirus
The good news for QAnoners: Georgia found some voter fraud! The bad news: The fraud is coming from inside the house. Allahpundit mentioned this last night, but it really deserves a full thread, if for no other reason than the multiple levels of irony involved. I wonder if we’ll get a treatise on burdens of proof from
The Ethics and Public Policy Center, where I’m a visiting fellow, announced today that Roger Severino will be joining our team of scholars — a welcome and gratifying addition, and the first hire we’ve made at EPPC since Ryan Anderson succeeded Ed Whelan as president earlier this week. Roger joins us at EPPC after three
A few weeks ago, Wyoming Republican Rep. Liz Cheney voted with Democrats to impeach President Trump. Now she might pay dearly for that decision. Other Republicans in the House are gearing up to remove her from a leadership role. The Federalist reports: TRENDING: WATCH: Newsmax Host Has Mike Lindell on to Talk About Tech Censorship
Kate O’Leary, an EMT for Cataldo Ambulance and Nursing student prepares a Pfizer/BioNTech coronavirus vaccination dose in Boston, Mass., January 29, 2021. (Faith Ninivaggi/Reuters) I’ll understand if you wish this newsletter would move on from coverage of the vaccination effort and get on to more exciting topics such as whatever insanity Marjorie Taylor Greene uttered
(Natural News) As Florida Governor Ron DeSantis launches a war against Big Tech censorship, it’s increasingly obvious that tech giants like Google, Facebook and YouTube will soon have to deliver different content results to the “free” states where censorship is banned. Yet those same tech giants will simultaneously deliver heavily censored, limited content results to
President Joe Biden swears in presidential appointees in a virtual ceremony in the State Dining Room of the White House, January 20, 2021. (Tom Brenner/Reuters) Practically speaking, deference to Europe equals deference to Russian, Chinese, and Iranian interests. A common refrain of the Biden campaign was that as president, the Democratic nominee would seek to
Amanda Ensing has spent the past nine years as a beauty vlogger, posting online videos that propelled her to 1.4 million subscribers on YouTube and Instagram along with endorsement contracts from brands eager to grab the attention of her audience. But the influencer says she has been hit with a barrage of attacks after she
A political organization co-founded by former staffers of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) are taking aim at moderate Democrats in an attempt to clear the way for their far-left legislative goals. The No Excuses PAC was founded by Saikat Chakrabarti, the former chief of staff for Ocasio-Cortez, and Corbin Trent, the former communications director for the
There are some things in life you can always count on. Death. Taxes. And ABC’s racial comedy black-ish painting white people as ignorant, annoying and racist. Which is racist in and of itself, but someone apparently forgot to tell them that. Tuesday’s episode “What About Gary?” was no different, as main character Dre (Anthony Anderson) attempts
Even though White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki is apparently screening questions in advance, she doesn’t seem to be well prepared at press briefings. On Tuesday, when asked about Space Force, Psaki was clearly clueless about how to respond, resorting instead to mocking the newest branch of the U.S. military. It was a simple question
(Natural News) A few months ago, some infectious disease experts began warning that it would extremely difficult, as the COVID-19 pandemic lingered into the fall, for frontline healthcare providers to determine if sickness was due to the novel coronavirus or good, old-fashioned influenza. The reason, they said, is that in many respects, flu symptoms could
The U.S. House of Representatives has held 18 recorded votes so far this year. Three seats remain vacant. In Louisiana’s fifth district, Republican congressman-elect Luke Letlow died December 29, 2020, of COVID-19 before assuming office. In Louisiana’s second district, Representative Cedric Richmond resigned his office January 15 to become the director of the Biden administration’s
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis calls out the media’s hypocrisy for its ‘hacked information’ guidelines. DeSantis said, “You’re trying to tell me if there was hacked information that could damage me, you wouldn’t print it? Give me a break. You can whiz on my leg, but don’t tell me it’s raining.” In October of 2020, the
A supporter of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump holds an American flag at a campaign rally in Milford, N.H., in 2016. (Mike Segar/Reuters) Across a great spectrum of issues, from trade to military policy to entitlements, the policy preferences of the populist Right broadly overlap with those of the populist Left. Welcome to “The Tuesday,”
President Trump offered the nation’s highest civilian honor – the Presidential Medal of Freedom – twice to legendary country music superstar Dolly Parton. She turned his offer down twice. Now it is very likely that she will have to decide if she will accept the honor from President Biden. It’s not what you might have
(Abubaker Lubowa/Reuters) Can a former parish music director sue the Archdiocese of Chicago for a parish priest’s supposedly “offensive” speech about plaintiff’s sexuality and other matters? Or does the First Amendment’s ministerial exception — which protects religious autonomy by barring secular authorities from interfering in a church’s selection and supervision of ministers — preclude this
The cremated remains of U.S. Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick laid in honor in the building’s Rotunda Tuesday night, as the nation mourns and pays tribute to the fallen law enforcement officer and veteran who lost his life due to injuries sustained during a riot on the building last month. Members of Congress will pay
A law in place to help police prevent prostitution on the streets of New York has been repealed because activists said it led to discrimination against transgender people and other minorities. Since 1976, New York Penal Law Section 240.37 criminalized loitering in public spaces if a police officer ascertained that the person loitering was doing
Chris “Fredo” Cuomo’s seething hatred for Republicans was boiling during the Tuesday edition of CNN’s PrimeTime. Between telling his viewers that they all “have to worry about the GOP” going forward because they could become the party of presidential assassins and suggesting they didn’t care about murdered Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick, Cuomo was out
The Biden administration clearly benefitted from Big Tech censorship in the weeks before the election. Twitter and Facebook actively censored the NY Post’s report on Hunter Biden’s dealings with China, preventing millions of voters from learning true and important information about one of the two contenders for the presidency. Twitter and Facebook have never censored
The first two weeks of the Biden administration have been dominated by promotion of “racial equity” and eradication of “systemic racism.” Setting aside the fact that structural/institutional/systemic racism is largely a canard, and the administration’s invocation thereof is primarily a tool to expand progressives’ power, there’s one inarguable case of systemic racism that the administration could
The official Facebook account for the WikiLeaks Shop has been banned from the platform without explanation. The shop raises money for Julian Assange’s defense fund by selling merch. Speaking to the Gateway Pundit, the person who runs the account said that “it seems they banned us for posting a graphic of one of our Free
(DONGSEON_KIM/Getty Images) National Review has recently published two pieces that describe a movement to reinvigorate civics, and reestablish the subject as a centerpiece of K–12 education, as a move toward “woke” civics. These two stories by Stanley Kurtz appear more interested in fueling divisions than they are in giving a factual accounting of what we
My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell stands outside the West Wing of the White House, January 15, 2021. (File photo: Erin Scott/Reuters) A Newsmax anchor walked off the air in the middle of an interview after the show’s guest continued to insist that the 2020 presidential election was stolen. Newsmax invited Mike Lindell, founder and chief
Alexei Navalny was finally scheduled to begin his trial in Moscow today after cooling his heels in a Russian jail since returning to the country last month. Given all of the complications involved in this proceeding and the international attention focused on it, I’m sure that it will drag on for quite a while before
(maroke/Getty Images) Dan Lips of the Foundation for Research on Equal Opportunity reviews the numbers: In March, Congress passed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, which provided $30.75 billion to the U.S. Department of Education for an Education Stabilization Fund. The fund included $16.2 billion for K-12 education, including $13.2 billion for an
