Classified documents from Biden's time as VP discovered in private office, source says By Jamie Gangel, CNN Updated 5:52 PM EST, Mon January 09, 2023 (CNN)Several classified documents from President Joe Biden's time as vice president were discovered last fall in a private office, a source with knowledge of the matter tells CNN. The National Archives has referred the matter to the Justice Department for further investigation, the source told CNN. Biden's lawyers found the government materials in November while closing out a Washington, DC-based office that Biden used as part of his relationship with the University of Pennsylvania, where...

I know many of you/ us don't want the United States involved in a war over Ukraine. I agree, though I believe there would be no invasion of Ukraine if Donald Trump were president. I also love Tucker Carlson, he's the most worthwhile host on Fox. However, I challenge anyone to justify the fanciful version of facts Tucker Carlson just put on with the help of Tulsi Gabbard. The clear news today is that Joe Biden, for at least the second time, unequivocally announced that a Russian invasion of Ukraine cannot and will not be militarily opposed by the United...

Hope this vanity to General/ Chat is not too intrusive. I love Tucker Carlson, his analysis and his bravery, to the extent he's the only Fox show I watch every night. However, Tucker's opposition to any possible (even imagined) American military action is extreme. Tucker is against America going to war with Russia over Ukraine. That's ok, but so is everyone, including the Biden Administration. Biden made it clear the American/ NATO reaction to a Russian invasion, would be limited to sanctions. Yesterday, everyone but Tucker heard Biden practically invite Russia into Ukraine. But Tucker still claimed on yesterday's show...

Susan Rice is on television right now acting like the president she is. Announcing executive orders Biden hasn't even signed yet. Now the reporters are asking what she's doing about "White Nationalism" and "people waving confederate flags". She obviously got fed up with doddering Biden and decided to step out front and center. And it's all racial equality to take over the economy. She is absolutely the president.

They are blaming Fox for the Capitol "insurrection". It's getting serious folks.

So much stuff is going down it's time to engage in a little vanity. I am a 100% Trump supporter since the escalator (funny isn't it we all know what that means) and up to this very minute. Yesterday President Trump finally did the very best thing, which he should have done a few weeks ago. He calmly stepped out of the way and allowed conservative commentators to focus on their secret weapons - Joe Biden with a supporting choir of Schumer, Pelosi and the media. Joe did not disappoint. He openly sold his soul to Black Lives Matter and...

NYT Site has Trump ahead by 1908 in Georgia. It indicates more than 98% of the vote is counted. The accompanying article says "almost all" votes have been counted.

Something that happened to the last 3 Republican presidents, and to Obama in their first reelection debates. Did not happen to Trump. Both Bushes,Obama and even the great Ronald Reagan were dead on their feet and had truly horrible first debates. That's what caused the "Reagan is too old" talk, that he had to salvage with his classic joke about Mondale's youth and inexperience, in a later debate. Most presidents get so used to being catered to in office, they just aren't ready for their first debate. It's been glaring in every other case in recent history. Obama looked like...

I don't fault the Trump campaign for making every type of pitch imaginable to get me to contribute. I'm still a little irked at Melania, because she once failed to send me a calendar she promised, and I really believed she wanted me to have that calendar. But can anyone educate me on the concept of "matching funds" and how it really works? Ok, I figure that some rich donor or organization pledges to match every dollar raised during a certain period. But tonight I received an email stating there will be a "700% match"! How does this work? If...

New Jersey is holding its primary today, in which the default is to vote by mail. Anyone voting in person must fill out a provisional ballot. And the provisional ballot requires your drivers license number. So voting in person now requires Voter ID, you fill out a lengthy form, and vote with a paper ballot. Normal voting in person does not exist. I've heard for years that Voter ID is a republican plot which suppresses minority Voters. But now it's required if you want to vote in person. I'm hearing numerous reports of people voting in person and telling the...

After Trump's statement and deploying the military, Tucker attacked Trump - no other word for it - because the Fox reporter got assaulted last night. Next he chose to attack Jared Kushner for pushing prison reform. Really? Tonight? A cheap shot against Jared K because Tucker dislikes him and his policies? Tucker started with a perfectly fine attack on the violent rioters, but he then started criticizing Trump. Acted like Trump calling out the troops today was an afterthought. I agree with Tucker the rioting has to be stopped. But Trump has gotten that from day 1. The attack on...

I know half of you will say you gave up on Fox years ago. But I've noticed this has gotten really bad of late. I keep saying to my wife "Why is EVERY story now told from the perspective of what 'democrats' say?" They never report what President Trump actually did or said. The report just now and the screen headline was "Democrats accuse the President of lacking a serious plan to fight the virus." How is that even a news story or headline? They are reporting Democrat talking points as if it's news. I know Trump has a detailed...

Trump is on now but Brett Baier and Martha Macallum are doing a total hit job. How the heck can they each ask a question about Schumer attacking the Supreme Court - and turn it into anti Trump questions? And the first question from a "Trump supporter" was asking Trump to be more civil. Gee, Democrats don't get questioned this way

Low tides have left canals in Venice almost dry, just two months after severe flooding left much of the Italian city under water. Boats have been seen almost beached as water levels dip drastically. The canals look more like mud trenches and getting around has become a problem for many in the city. In November, Venice experienced its highest water levels in more than 50 years in what some said was a direct result of climate change. Climate change behind highest tide in 50 years, says mayor More than two thirds of the city was underwater then, with the mayor...

Democrat impeachment commissar Adam Schiff received an unwelcome surprise during a Saturday town hall courtesy of President Trump's supporters. The conniving congressman whose secret hearings in a locked room in the Capitol's basement served as the foundation for the articles of impeachment was shouted down by patriotic Americans. When shifty Schiff took the stage at the Los Angeles area event sponsored by a group that backed the recognition of the Armenian genocide, a number of audience members serenaded him with their disapproval.

At the doctor's office. Just incredible. The View is a nonstop Democrat election commercial. "You Republicans..." is a common phrase of condemnation. They asked today will the republicans wait until David Duke is in the cabinet, before they finally denounce Trump as a racist? There was a lecture about the "system of racism" that runs education, business and politics in "this country". This is all stated as fact not opinion. They talk about electing Democrats and defeating Republicans constantly. I was shocked this doesn't just come up, it's the basis of the entire show. I'm sure for some reason the...

It's very troubling so little critical analysis exists on this latest flap. We'd expect Democrats, aided by the media, to seize on any "issue" whether manufactured or real. But I watched Romney, Collins, Graham all run to microphones to criticize the president's "mistake". Romney's statement was the most extreme and the most empty headed. He said something along the lines that accepting foreign information about a political opponent "undercuts the very basis of our democracy". Zero explanation of why "listening" to a foreigner is in any way illegal (it isn't), or unethical, much less somehow damaging "our democracy". A corollary...

Just saw Captain Marvel. There was no overt social justice content. Just that she's a resilient woman. Her back story is about as touching as you're going to get in a super hero origin film. In that regard, think of Captain America's first movie for a similar emotional impact. This is more than Captain Marvel's origin story, it's also the back story for Nick Fury and Agent Coulson. You kind of can't go wrong with a movie that features Samuel L. Jackson. Anyone who's been following the MCU will be fascinated watching the revealed history, and then the 2 scenes...

I really dislike Chris Stirewalt and it's compounded because they allow him to be an election analyst on Fox News. He never has a favorable view on Republicans and anything positive for the party causes him to look absolutely constipated. Tonight he jumped the anti-republican shark with his crazy explanation of why the GOP has an historic favorability rating and is viewed more positively than the Democrat party. According to Stirewalt, it's because "people band together when they are facing dire straights". The Republicans are facing loss of the House, loss on Kavenaugh, and Trump attacked every day. Ok Chris,...
