National Review covered Salon’s hit piece on Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AK), which tried to accuse him of lying about his military record. But there’s a small part in the National Review article that should drive everyone mad. At Salon, Roger Sollenberger claimed that completing Ranger School does not make one an actual Ranger. He also insisted that the military agrees with him. I emphasized the important part: In his first run for Congress, Cotton leaned heavily on his military service, claiming to have been “a U.S. Army Ranger in Iraq and Afghanistan,” and, in a campaign ad, to have “volunteered...

For bread-lovers, there's very little that compares to the aroma of a freshly baked loaf. With Tiong Bahru Bakery's new handwash (yes, you read that right), you'll be able to enjoy the buttery scent of baked goods without even leaving your house. The bakery is pretty much a household name thanks to its French pastries and artisanal bread, but it's expanding its offerings with Brioche N°5, a brioche-inspired handwash that will be going on sale on Friday (Jan 29). With a cruelty-free formula and a custom scent created by local fragrance house Oo La Lab, the handwash is "a treat...

Pre-Chinese New Year festivities usually involve buying new clothes to parade around in, but one woman isn't so sure about her festive OOTD this year. She bought a dress online but received a shower curtain in the mail. Read the condensed version of this story, and other top stories with NewsLite. The woman, who only wished to be known as Leong, told AsiaOne she purchased the dress from a store on Shopee. A quick scroll through the store's listings shows only clothing for sale, which made Leong suspect that the distribution centre might have mixed up the packages. "[The parcel]...

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has accused the Republican leader of the House, Kevin McCarthy, of being controlled by QAnon-supporting members of Congress, claiming the party has had an influx of 'legitimate white supremacists' into its ranks. The New York congresswoman appeared on MSNBC on Wednesday night and was asked about shocking behavior by Republican congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene. Greene, who openly supports the QAnon conspiracy theory - the idea that Donald Trump was sent to save the world from a cabal of Satan-worshiping pedophiles, working in the 'deep state' - has found herself in the spotlight for her social media posts.

Welcome to the continuing world of the Clinton, Obama, Biden failure team!!! I can assure my fooled, fellow Americans...."Happy Days" are not here once again!!!

House GOP Conference Chairwoman Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) has seen her political support completely collapse in Wyoming as solid majorities of both Republicans and all voters in the state want her out of office, a new poll shows. What’s more, Cheney has fallen behind her primary challenger by more than double digits, a sharp turn in just weeks against the one-time rising star since she voted to impeach former President Donald Trump. The poll, conducted by Trump’s team and first reported by Politico, shows 73 percent of Republicans in ruby red Wyoming view her unfavorably—while 62 percent of all voters...

Last week, Biden’s newly appointed White House climate czar Gina McCarthy said, “Biden has committed to 100% clean power by 2035.…We are going to get there because we will not be stopped.” Wind, especially, is touted as a symbol of clean power. It is common to see the image of a wind turbine on pamphlets or reports that address the transition to clean energy. But the shocking truth is that wind energy is impossible without fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are not merely a supporting source, but the very foundation of wind turbines and the energy derived from them. The Institute...

More than 31,000 people in the United States have died due to the Chinese coronavirus during President Joe Biden’s first week in office. Meanwhile, Dr. Anthony Fauci suggested that wearing two masks “just makes common sense.” An estimated 31,180 people in the U.S. have died due to complications stemming from the coronavirus during Biden’s first week in the White House, according to statistics provided by Johns Hopkins University. Last week, when President Biden was inaugurated, the United States had suffered a total of 397,611 deaths due to the Wuhan virus. One week later, the U.S. has topped 400,000 coronavirus-related deaths,...

While Biden only signed two executive orders, his first order, “Tackling the Climate Crisis at Home and Abroad Executive Order,” proved a monstrosity with no fewer than seven separate aspects. The order directs the federal government to place the so-called “climate crisis” at the center of U.S. foreign policy and national security concerns. This involves: committing the U.S. to the Paris climate agreement; scheduling a Leaders’ Climate Summit on Earth Day, April 22, 2021; creating a new climate envoy (John Kerry) for the National Security Council; and directing the Director of National Intelligence to prepare a report on climate change....

A Florida man was arrested this morning on charges of conspiring with others in advance of the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election to use various social media platforms to disseminate misinformation designed to deprive individuals of their constitutional right to vote. Douglass Mackey, aka Ricky Vaughn, 31, of West Palm Beach, was charged by criminal complaint in the Eastern District of New York. He was taken into custody this morning in West Palm Beach and made his initial appearance before U.S. Magistrate Judge Bruce E. Reinhart of the Southern District of Florida. “According to the allegations in the complaint, the defendant...

As part of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s continuing efforts to protect consumers from potentially dangerous or subpotent hand sanitizers, the agency has placed all alcohol-based hand sanitizers from Mexico on a countrywide import alert to help stop products that appear to be in violation from entering the U.S. until the agency is able to review the products’ safety. Over the course of the ongoing pandemic, the agency has seen a sharp increase in hand sanitizer products from Mexico that were labeled to contain ethanol (also known as ethyl alcohol) but tested positive for methanol contamination. Methanol, or wood...

Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Wednesday that the United States is “deeply concerned” about detained Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny and was considering actions in response to his detention in Russia. Blinken said at his first press briefing after being sworn in that the Biden administration was reviewing how to respond to actions by Russia, including the alleged use of chemical weapons in an attack on Navalny, the Solar Winds cyber attack, reports of bounties on American forces and interference in U.S. elections.

The Michigan Senate refused to confirm 13 individuals appointed by Gov. Gretchen Whitmer to various state boards and commissions on Wednesday. In a party-line vote, the Senate’s GOP majority defeated the nominations 19-14. On Jan. 13, Republican state Sen. Jim Stamas stated in a press release that Whitmer’s appointments would be rejected until the administration ended COVID lockdowns and permitted the state to reopen. “The governor is continuing punitive lockdowns and jeopardizing lives and livelihoods — while state government has largely been unaffected,” said Stamas, R-Midland. “People have suggested that the governor and her department heads not get paid until...

It’s clear that one of Walmart’s competitive advantages is our stores. And today, stores are transforming to serve more and more purposes – we’re using them to fill pickup and delivery orders, make Walmart.com deliveries and more. We have a great operation that will serve us well for years to come, but we aren’t stopping there. Our customers love the speed and convenience of pickup and delivery, and we’re committed to finding faster ways to serve them, which is why we’re scaling the number of stores that will also serve as local fulfillment centers. We’re already planning dozens of locations,...

GameStop shows the power of millions of small fries being able to destroy the billion dollar hedge funds. How can we use non-violent disruptive acts to destroy liberal funding sources, institutions, and beliefs? Small acts can create big waves. My suggestion is that his gender sports EO. Have a dozen conservative boys show up for girls basketball tryout just take over. Once they start winning every game it’ll collapse the ridiculous EO. A “collapse the system” approach but by our side. Someone actually did this for a weightlifting competition. “Identified as a woman” to get in. Set a state record....

One way to send a message to IDIOT Biden would be to help remove IDIOT Democrats from office... John Bel Edwards is an 'enabler' of Joe Biden and his goal of destroying as many American jobs as he can and send them to China... Auntie Nancy Pelosi's nephew Gov Gavin Newsome is facing recall in California. Some say his political career is over. Energy jobs are extemely important for Louisiana. Not only considerable jobs bus also oil and gas revenue from its production... John Bel Edwards was very happy to attend POS (not POTUS) Biden's inauguration. As far as I...

Race dominates early days of Biden presidency: 'It's like the Great Society for identity politics'President Biden on Wednesday said “environmental justice” for people of color will be a central feature of his efforts to combat climate change, again putting skin color and racial justice front and center in his early policy and personnel decisions.Mr. Biden’s early focus on what he calls “systemic racism and white supremacy” in America generated pushback from critics and scholars who say they don’t need a lecture from the commander-in-chief about the country’s racial history.“It’s like the Great Society for identity politics,” said Mike Gonzalez, a...

My 61 year old brother Dan who has developmental disability has been in the hospital over 2 weeks with serious surgical complications. He has a bowel leak and abscess formation after 2 surgeries for volvulus (a twisted colon). Antibiotics are not helping much and he is delirious, which is so hard to watch. Please pray for him and his medical team.
