Professional athletes kneeling for the national anthem has become commonplace nowadays that those who decide to stand for the patriotic song are met with backlash and forced to explain themselves. U.S. women’s soccer player Carli Lloyd is learning this the hard way, as she was just forced to defend herself when she decided to stand for the anthem while the rest of her team took a knee.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom has from the start said his coronavirus policy decisions would be driven by data shared with the public to provide maximum transparency. But with the state starting to emerge from its worst surge, his administration won’t disclose key information that will help determine when his latest stay-at-home order is lifted. State health officials said they rely on a very complex set of measurements that would confuse and potentially mislead the public if they were made public.

House Financial Services Committee chair Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) said Friday on MSNBC’s “Live” that she will continue her congressional investigations into former President Donald Trump’s finances.

The railroad system in Dalian, northern China, collapsed citywide on Tuesday for up to 20 hours after the Adobe Flash programing software stopped running. Adobe had announced as early as 2017 that it would cease support for the multimedia software on Dec. 30 last year. The American software company eventually ended the operation of all Flash content on Tuesday. Tuesday’s chaos arose after China Railway Shenyang failed to deactivate Flash in time, leading to a complete shutdown of its railroads in Dalian, Liaoning province. Staffers were reportedly unable to view train operation diagrams, formulate train sequencing schedules and arrange shunting...

[In a letter to the Chairwoman of the AZ Republican Party, Kelli Ward, Arizona GOP leaders of the party write:]"Your egregious distortions of truth are disturbing and duplicitous. The misunderstood messages include:Raising $23 million for the AZGOP when in truth, the Republican National Committee and the Trump Victory Campaign provided the funding.

Newly-elected Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) on Jan. 21 announced she has introduced articles of impeachment against the new president, Joe Biden. The articles of impeachment concern Biden’s alleged actions involving a “quid pro quo” deal in Ukraine and alleged abuse of power “by allowing his son, Hunter Biden, to siphon off cash from America’s greatest enemies Russia and China,” Greene’s office announced in a statement just a day after Biden was sworn in as the 46th U.S. president.

American conservatives know that after Democrats all but cheered on violence and rioting for months, the idea that Trump incited an insurrection is pure nonsense. It’s a lie and McConnell’s parroting of it is disqualifying for leadership. So why is McConnell playing along with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s charade of impeachment? He thinks he can get the conservative movement back on his and the Chamber of Commerce’s team. He can’t. If he pushes this impeachment conviction, as he seems to be, he should have no place in Republican leadership. It is nothing short of a betrayal of Republican voters.

Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khamenie, recently sent out a highly problematic, violent-rhetoric-filled tweet about Donald Trump:Donald Trump, the 45th President of the United States, was removed from this platform “due to the risk of further incitement of violence.”Today, Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, shared an image bearing a resemblance to Trump which calls for “revenge.”— Kyle Morris (@RealKyleMorris) January 22, 2021The tweet contained an image of a golfer resembling Trump apparently being targeted by a drone. pic.twitter.com/E5iBZVc6aB— Steve Herman (@W7VOA) January 22, 2021Translation pic.twitter.com/3vsZh0uW2b— Heshmat Alavi (@HeshmatAlavi) January 21, 2021Here’s a screenshot of the tweet:Hi Twitter,This account is affiliated...

They only think about wrong and bad things that they want to do. They want many things for themselves. They want to hurt other people. They are always jealous of other people. They kill people. They quarrel and fight with people. They are not honest or kind. They say silly things about other people. They tell lies about people. They hate God. They insult other people. They are proud and they say how important they are. They think of many ways to do bad things. They do not obey their parents. They do not understand what is right. They do...

President Joe Biden will sign another round of executive orders on Friday, these aimed at providing assistance for those facing food insecurity, protecting American workers and providing economic relief to struggling families. Biden kicked off his presidency with a series of orders aimed at undoing much of President Donald Trump's legacy and helping those devastated by the coronavirus pandemic. On Friday he will sign executive orders aimed at speeding up delivery of stimulus checks to families who haven't received them and increasing food aid for children who normally rely on school meals as a main source of food.

Joe Biden revoked a Trump administration order that had banned federal agencies, contractors and recipients of federal funding from conducting certain diversity training. The order had targeted workplace training that explored systemic racism and privilege, including 'critical race theory,' which former President Donald Trump had deemed 'un-American' and potentially harmful to white workers. The Trump administration had said the order prohibited training that implies anyone is racist or sexist 'by virtue of his or her race, sex, and/or national origin.'

The New York Times reportedly canceled an editor's contract after she tweeted that she had 'chills' watching Joe Biden land at Joint Base Andrews the day before the inauguration and slammed Trump for not sending him a government plane. Lauren Wolfe tweeted on Tuesday: 'Biden landing at Joint Base Andrews now. I have chills. 'The pettiness of the Trump admin not sending a military plane to bring him to D.C. as is tradition is mortifying.

Former Michigan governor Jennifer Granholm, President Joe Biden's pick for energy secretary, could pocket up to $5 million for stepping down from a prominent position with a Silicon Valley energy company. Granholm will relinquish her spot on the board of Proterra, Inc., an electric-vehicles manufacturer, if she is confirmed by Congress. She will also sell off all stocks in the company, resulting in a windfall. Disclosure forms show that Granholm's stock in Proterra is valued between $1 and $5 million. She will also divest from other energy companies, including First Solar, a solar-panel company, and Duke Energy, an electric company....

Please list the Republicans that addressed Biden’s corrupt dealings with foreign adversaries 2008-2016....None that I’m aware of despite the whispering of the Obama administration being concerned about it. (Verified in the trial for the 2019 impeachment by Democrat witnesses). Should one vote for any Republican in office 2008-2016 that did nothing? Should one vote for any Republican that accepted the fraudulent electors? Should one vote for any Republican Governor that sent National Guard troops to DC for a photo op?

We have a faux President, a faux White House, and a faux inauguration. We are under military rule and Biden has no legal power. Check the Federal Register — no record of Biden Executive Orders, for example We are currently ruled by a “Shadow Cabinet”, which is part of the Continuity of Government protocols. According to several sources, the video was distributed in Europe at 7:00 AM their time Military uniforms appear to be fake — no ribbons, I think, for example No images of presidential band at inauguration —recording?
