Representative Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) said Monday on MSNBC’s “Deadline” that she believes Republicans, who deny the severity of January 6, 2021, “think their supporters are dumb.” Discussing Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) and Rep.

HAZELWOOD, Mo. (KMOV) - Hazelwood Police Chief James Hudanick says an internal investigation is underway after a traffic stop Wednesday night. It happened around 11:30 pm near Lindberg and McDonnell. Joseph Hibler was pulled over for an expired license plate on his way home from a funeral. Hibler says the officer told him he had an open warrant. The warrant stemmed from a citation from 2018 over no vehicle insurance. He described what was going through his mind when the officer told him to get out of the car and handcuff him. “My children are in the car. There’s no...

Amid the impasse, McCarthy is floating a plan that would reinstall him as speaker and make Jordan, a conservative Trump ally, the assistant speaker, according to three sources familiar with McCarthy’s pitch. Asked why the idea — which lacks key details, like how it would be enacted and whether it could even gain enough traction to happen — was being floated now, a GOP lawmaker replied: “We’re desperate.” While the idea might seem far-fetched and it has not been pitched broadly within the GOP Conference, it is being discussed among some Republicans after Emmer, the third GOP nominee, dropped his...

I hadn’t seen this survey by the Cato Institute until today but it’s really striking. It seems that a shockingly high percentage of Gen Z would be okay with in-home government surveillance. If that sounds like something out of George Orwell’s 1984, that’s exactly how CATO saw it.In the book 1984, citizens of the fictional nation Oceania are under constant government surveillance, including in their own homes. Devices called telescreens display propaganda and record peoples’ actions, allowing the government to monitor people even in what should be the most private place they know—their homes. This type of behavior is meant...

Those who dream of eliminating all private gun ownership in the United States face the prospect of a devastating legal defeat. We find ourselves living in a highly consequential time for the legal clarification of the 2nd Amendment. Extremely aggressive, wide-ranging bans of semi-automatic firearms have been enacted in various parts of the country, drawing legal challenges. While the ultimate resolution of these challenges is unknowable, many observers believe the Supreme Court will eventually arrive at a decision prohibiting the wholesale banning of semi-automatic firearms. Those who dream of eliminating all private gun ownership in the United States face the...

Dumb phones may be falling out of fashion on a global scale, but it’s a different story in the U.S. Companies like HMD Global, the maker of Nokia phones, continue to sell millions of mobile devices similar to those used in the early 2000s. This includes what’s known as “feature phones” — traditional flip or slide phones that have additional features like GPS or a hotspot. “I think you can see it with certain Gen Z populations — they’re tired of the screens,” said Jose Briones, ... In the U.S., feature flip phone sales were up in 2022 for HMD...

This came across my YouTube feed. I needed something to make me laugh. It is Q&A of Gen-Z kids at what looks like a Gay Pride event - lots of rainbow flags around.

The former president told Sean Hannity’s radio show:...Mr Trump added: “That’s without even negotiating a deal. I could have negotiated. At worst, I could have made a deal to take over something, you know, there are certain areas that are Russian speaking areas, right, like, but you could have worked a deal. And now Ukraine is just being blown to smithereens.”

Flashback: Biden: WW3 starts with the shipment of offensive equipment like tanks to Ukraine ... US to send Ukraine 31 tanks in abrupt Biden White House reversal WASHINGTON – The US will send Ukraine 31 M1 Abrams tanks, President Biden announced Wednesday in a neck-snapping reversal from the Pentagon’s stated opposition late last week — though Kyiv won’t be able to make full use of the vehicles for months “The Abrams tanks are the most capable tanks in the world,” Biden said in remarks from the White House. “These tanks are further evidence of our enduring and unflagging commitment to...

US man ‘trapped’ in Russian-controlled Donetsk despite release from prison “I am very happy to be free. But I don’t know what to do next. The Russians never gave me back my passport, and I feel trapped here,” Murekezi said in a phone interview from the city of Donetsk, the capital of the Russian-annexed Donetsk region. Before moving to Ukraine, Murekezi spent six years in the US air force. He left the military in 2017 and started investing in shares and cryptocurrencies. His interest in crypto eventually brought him to Kherson, a city he quickly started to call home. When...

ABC’s late-night comedy host Jimmy Kimmel continued his obsession with Georgia Senate candidate Herschel Walker (R) on Wednesday’s show, mocking Walker as both dumb and unintelligible — a repeated theme in Kimmel’s frequent harangues against the former NFL star. Jimmy Kimmel’s latest attack on Walker comes as Georgia is heading for a runoff election between its Senate candidates, who both failed to reach 50 percent of the vote in Tuesday’s midterm election. Walker is looking to unseat incumbent Sen. Raphael Warnock (D) in the hotly contested race that could determine the balance of the U.S. Senate.

During a campaign stop on Nov. 2, 2020, then-President Donald Trump touted the low gasoline prices of the time and warned that if Joe Biden became president, Americans would end up paying $7, $8, even $9 a gallon. Trump also said that, in response to those high gas prices, the Biden administration would tell people to get rid of their cars."It's an incredible thing that's happened over the last few years, a lot of great things," said Trump. "And you’re paying, what, $2 a gallon for your gasoline? If Biden got in, you’d be paying $7, $8, $9. Then they’d...

I went to my nearest Cabela's this week to do a little shopping. When I entered the store I noticed a sign at the service counter that essentially said guns entering the store must be registered at the counter. I asked if that was all guns and was told yes. I took out my conceal carry and put it on the country. Thee attendant asked me if the gun had bullets in it (DUH!). I said yes. He then told me I had to take the gun to the gun sales and have them unload it and then bring it...

LOS ALAMOS, N.M. – A new report revealed on Wednesday shows dozens of scientists have left Los Alamos National Laboratory in northern New Mexico and fueled military technology innovation in China. The shocking details show how American taxpayers may have unintentionally helped China’s military become more of a threat to the U.S. over decades, as government-funded defense research later made its way to China’s labs. The report details how China poached talent from New Mexico and then stole American ideas for cutting-edge technology, shining a light on the security of top-secret U.S. research on sophisticated weapons at the country’s top...

White House aides repeatedly refuse to address the cost of President Joe Biden’s decision on Wednesday to cancel up to $20,000 in student debt. “I can’t give you that off the top of my head,” White House director of domestic policy Susan Rice said Wednesday during the daily briefing when asked whether the administration had estimated the cost of the president’s decision. She repeated the cost of the program would not be fully known until the federal government knew how many people would take advantage of it. The president spent several months stalling a decision on canceling student debt, telling...

“I have been humiliated by my own decay.” Thus spoke Winston Churchill in 1953 during his second stint as Britain’s prime minister. Churchill, perhaps the greatest democratic figure of the 20th century, had been sworn in 18 months earlier — just a few weeks shy of his 77th birthday. Joe Biden was sworn in as president two months after his 78th birthday. The humiliation for Churchill came from an argument he lost with the American secretary of state, John Foster Dulles, who was shockingly dismissive of his concerns. Churchill’s “decay” was a serious concern. Joe Biden is 79 now —...
