MSNBC went full Nazi in a new ad, bizarrely linking conservatives Oliver North and G. Gordon Liddy to the Third Reich. The spot promoting host Lawrence O’Donnell began with text reading, “Straight to the heart of moral corruption.” Then, the liberal host lectured, “'We were just following orders' is a statement that is indelibly etched in our consciences as what we should never become. We are following orders is now and always has been the last line of defense for the indefensible here and around the world.” During his commentary, pictures of Iran-Contra figure North, as well as Watergate's Liddy...

Coffee is finally launching Monday in the United States after being available for years internationally. The product is made with Brazilian coffee and comes in dark blend, vanilla and caramel flavors. There's also a calorie-free zero sugar version. Each 12-ounce can has 69 milligrams of caffeine. That's about half as much as is in a 12-ounce cup of coffee but far more than what's in a can of Coke. The new product comes at a time when Coca-Cola (KO) is focusing on its core products, including Coke and Coke Zero Sugar. Last year, the company announced plans to cut its...

Dad Doug thumbs up grotesque baby art, cannibalism videoStaff ReportThe darling of the presidential inauguration this month was Ella Emhoff, a privileged rich kid from Los Angeles who wore a stunning outfit and made cute funny faces while her "Momala" Kamala Harris assumed the role as vice-regent of the United States. The willowy young twentysomething, in purple Batsheva brand dress, paired with an embellished Miu Miu tweed coat, amazed the glitterati. The Times of London anointed her a fashion icon and compared her to royalty. Pop Sugar deemed her "deeply, deeply cool." The New York Post crowned her the style...

A federal judge on Tuesday barred the U.S. government from enforcing a 100-day deportation moratorium that is a key immigration priority of President Joe Biden. U.S. District Judge Drew Tipton issued a temporary restraining order sought by Texas, which sued on Friday against a Department of Homeland Security memo that instructed immigration agencies to pause most deportations. Tipton said the Biden administration had failed “to provide any concrete, reasonable justification for a 100-day pause on deportations.” Tipton’s order is an early blow to the Biden administration, which has proposed far-reaching changes sought by immigration advocates, including a plan to legalize...

To see what is in front of one’s nose needs a constant struggle,’ George Orwell famously observed. He was talking not about everyday life but about politics, where it is ‘quite easy for the part to be greater than the whole or for two objects to be in the same place simultaneously’. For years before the 2020 election, nearly all American conservatives were in favor of standing up to Big Tech — but most were also against changing the laws and regulations enough to make such a stand effective. And yet the threat from Silicon Valley was literally in front...

The teenage daughter of Kellyanne Conway backtracked Tuesday after accusing her mother of posting a topless picture of her online, saying she believes the former Trump adviser’s phone was hacked. Claudia Conway caused a stir on Monday when she took to her TikTok account to accuse her mother of stealing her phone, finding the picture of her topless, and then posting the illicit photo to her Twitter account under the new Fleets feature, which automatically deletes all posts after 24 hours. “Apparently that’s real and here’s what I guess happened,” Claudia Conway said in a video montage that was saved...

Sen. Rand Paul plans to force a test vote on Tuesday that will show how many Republicans support holding an impeachment trial for former President Donald Trump and how many believe a trial should not take place. Paul, a Kentucky Republican, told reporters he's going to force a procedural vote on the constitutionality of a Senate trial. The vote is expected to take place Tuesday afternoon after senators are sworn in as jurors. "I think there will be enough (votes) to show that more than a third of the Senate thinks that the whole proceeding is unconstitutional, which will show...

This is a message for Democrats. Not progressives, or socialists, or communist sympathizers, but real, old-school, Democrats. The kind that love the United States of America and only differ from Republicans because their vision of government is as a benevolent entity meant to help our fellow human beings.Your party is gone.Really, It’s GoneThe party that took over the White House on January 20th is a very different party, and if you don’t get wise to it soon, it will be too late.The violence of January 6th has led various pundits and politicians to use the word “insurrection.” That word is...

RENO — The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday refused a rural Nevada church’s request to enter a legal battle over the government’s authority to limit the size of religious gatherings amid the COVID-19 pandemic — after the church won an appeals court ruling last month that found Nevada’s restrictions unconstitutional. Attorneys general from 19 other states had recently joined in support of the unusual request from Calvary Chapel Dayton Valley east of Reno. They were urging the Supreme Court to rule on the merits of the Nevada case to help bring uniformity to various standards courts across the country have...

Big Pharma did not like Donald Trump, but they certainly like Joe Biden – especially now. In an ongoing frenzy to undo everything Trump did over the last four years, Joe Biden froze a December rule aimed at lowering prescription drug prices for insulin and epinephrine. On Thursday, Biden’s Department of Health and Human Services announced the new rule would be put on hold, along with several other Trump-era orders pending a 60 day review, The Federalist reports. Biden Chief of Staff Ron Klain directed federal agencies on Wednesday to pause orders that had been signed and published by Trump’s...

Brave Iraqi activist and former Miss Iraq slams Ilhan Omar for supporting terrorism. As you can see in the Post below, Miss Iraq Sarah Idan shared a video exposing the use of child soldiers by the Houthi terrorist organization in Yemen, and asked why Congresswoman Ilhan Omar continues to back the Houthis who are clearly terrorists backed by Iran that commit war crimes and crimes against humanity on a daily basis. This armed child soldier in the video is screaming: "death to America. Does to Israel, curse the Jews." Serious question! Why does @IlhanMN constantly tweets about Yemen criticizing KSA...

Donald Trump could seek vengeance on GOP senators if they break with him on impeachment and vote to convict. The message from Brian Jack, Trump’s former political director at the White House, is the latest sign that Republicans considering an impeachment conviction will do so knowing that Trump may come after them in upcoming primaries if they vote to convict him for “incitement of insurrection.” Jack did not mention impeachment in his calls. But he wanted the word to get around that Trump is still a Republican — and for many, still the leader of his party.

Police have launched an investigation into a topless photo of Kellyanne Conway’s 16-year-old daughter, Claudia — which the teen says was posted on her mom’s Twitter — and cops paid a visit to the family’s New Jersey mansion Tuesday. Just before noon, four officers showed up with papers in hand at the Conways’ home in tony Alpine and spent about an hour inside before leaving. Alpine Police Chief Christopher Belcolle confirmed that a probe was underway. “An investigation is being conducted. No additional information can be released,” Belcolle said, noting that records regarding juveniles are not made public.

Vaccine manufacturer Merck has abandoned development of two coronavirus vaccines, saying that after extensive research it was concluded that the shots offered less protection than just contracting the virus itself and developing antibodies. The company announced that the shots V590 and V591 were ‘well tolerated’ by test patients, however they generated an ‘inferior’ immune system response in comparison with natural infection. The company stated that instead it will focus on research into therapeutic drugs labeled as MK-7110 and MK-4482. The drugs aim to protect patients from the damage of an overactive immune response to the virus. “Interim results from a...

As anti-tank weapons go, one, in particular, didn’t have an extraordinary range, it had limited stopping power, aiming was rather crude and it was one shot only – yet the German-designed Panzerfaust (“armor fist”) has become somewhat legendary. The History Only introduced in 1943, the Panzerfaust was very much a sign of the state of the war effort, which had turned against Nazi Germany and its once seemingly unstoppable military faced assaults on all fronts. Inexpensive to produce and simple to operate, the Panzerfaust gave a single infantryman a weapon that could take out enemy armor.

Joe Biden's Transgender FictionsIn early discussions of transgenderism, many people pointedly quoted Thomas Jefferson’s line about government power and religion: “It does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no God. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.” Why, I was asked, are you bothered about whether someone born male later comes to identify as a woman when it does you no harm, financially or physically? At the time, this question gave me pause for thought; but that has long since ceased to be the case. Take, for example, Biden's executive order...
