Sad to report the death this morning of Fred Hiatt, the editor of the @washingtonpost’s editorial page and a wonderful colleague. Note
to staff just sent by publisher Fred Ryan: pic.twitter.com/6Le9MIvhAx — Paul Farhi (@farhip) December 6, 2021 No word on what caused the death. Hiatt was 66 and in good shape. Hiatt was still working before the Thanksgiving holiday… At this rate, Biden is likely to be presiding over a dangerously unstaffed administration even halfway into his term. If the GOP wins the Senate next year, he’s likely to go an entire term without anything close to a full...

Republican Rep. Fred Upton says he has received over 1,000 calls, including multiple death threats, since he voted Friday to pass the bipartisan infrastructure bill – a measure he helped write earlier this year. The
calls began when fellow GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, of Georgia, posted Upton's phone number online following the vote. She called him and the other 12 Republicans who voted for the bill "traitors." An Upton spokesperson said 90% of the calls are coming from outside the congressman's district in southwest Michigan. One man from South Carolina purportedly left a message in which he said, "I...

Since leaving office, Trump has continued to endorse a number of Republicans running for Congress. “It is my great honor to endorse Michigan State Representative Steve Carra to oppose RINO Congressman Fred Upton.

Fred Fleitz: Biden and Harris Must be Impeached for Endangering U.S. National Security

| Tuesday August 17, 2021 | Fred Fleitz
Like many Trump supporters who agreed with President Trump’s decision to withdraw U.S. troops from Afghanistan, I knew it was possible this could result in the Taliban seizing control of the country. However,
I was confident the Trump administration would avoid or at least postpone this horrible outcome because it would implement an orderly withdrawal in full cooperation with the Afghan government and military. Instead of an orderly withdrawal, President Biden ordered a sudden pullout of U.S. troops without a plan or any preparation. Biden blindsided the Afghan government, the Afghan military and America’s allies. The implications of Biden’s national...

in the southern Bahamas and Florida should monitor updates to the forecast for this system, but it is too soon to determine what if any impacts could occur there by late this week or this weekend given the uncertainty in the long-range forecast.

Out in the Hinterlands | June 12, 2021 | Big Fan of Emmylou Harris
I have mosquito bites all over my arms and legs. I'm
thinking because I've been out camping, sitting by the campfire and doing a lot of cast iron based cooking over said fire. Which is some of the best kind of cooking if you are to be camping. Then I go into my tent and roll myself into a "sleeping bag" but even then, I'm thinking mosquitoes are still able to get through. So a lot of mosquito bites and it's only mid June. Lot of camping left to go this season. Nothing better though then sleeping under a tent...

Longtime Rep. Fred Upton (R-Mich.) has joined a growing number of House Republicans in saying he plans to vote to impeach President Trump on Wednesday following a deadly riot by a mob of his supporters at the U.S. Capitol last week. “Today
the President characterized his inflammatory rhetoric at last Wednesday’s rally as ‘totally appropriate,’ and he expressed no regrets for last week’s violent insurrection at the U.S. Capitol,” Upton said in a statement Tuesday.

There was a group of players — led by Kyrie Irving and Avery Bradley — who questioned if the NBA restart in Orlando would take the spotlight away and slow the momentum of the Black Lives Matter and social justice movements. It’s
a legitimately difficult question to answer. Players struggled with that topic and discussed it amongst themselves. While most will still be going to Orlando for the restart, saying they want to use the league’s platform to spread the social justice message, the decision wasn’t come to lightly.

My Long Goodbye to S. Fred Singer

The first time I laid eyes on climate science pioneer Fred Singer was in a scenic elevator at the Marriot Marquis in NYC, in March of 2008. The
hotel was hosting the premiere International Conference on Climate Change (ICCC), and I was there to cover the event for American Thinker. Dr. Singer was there not only to dazzle the crowd of noted skeptical climate scientists, economists and policy experts from around the world, but also to launch his new Non-IPCC report, a rebuttal to the agenda-driven propaganda of the then recent IPCC Fourth Assessment (AR4). Singer’s unique, soft-spoken wit was...
