Today is the deadline Gov. Gavin Newsom set for California school districts to apply for a portion of the $2 billion in grants he wants the state to set aside to help them safely return to in-person instruction. "We would like to have schools reopened in the safest manner possible," Assembly Budget Chair Phil Ting, D-San Francisco, said at a hearing last week. "However, I also don't want to repeat the same mistake that we made in this last budget, where we gave districts resources to open up and we did not see that happen." Since then, teacher unions and...

Tuesday on CNN’s “Newsroom,” Sen. Jon Tester (D-MT) acknowledged President Joe Biden’s decision to halt the construction of the Keystone Pipeline XL was a mistake. Tester, a supporter of the pipeline, said he believes in climate change, but he does not think stopping the one pipeline is “going to turn our climate around.” Host Poppy Harlow asked Tester, “Do you believe it was … a mistake for the Biden administration to cancel the Keystone XL Pipeline on day one in office given the impacts of … 11,000 American jobs? Do you think it was a mistake?” “[L]ook, I’ve been a...

Gov. Gavin Newsom and state lawmakers are in talks on a new path for getting more public schools to reopen as the governor’s late-December plan offering money and aid for those that move quickly to bring students back on campus comes under withering fire from districts, teacher unions and legislators. Monday was the deadline in Newsom’s $2 billion Safe Schools for All Plan announced Dec. 30 for schools to file reopening plans and qualify for the funding, but the Legislature has yet to act on it, leaving its status in doubt. And last week, a bill was pulled from committee...

RUSH: Now, look at this. National security news. This from the Washington Free Beacon. “State Dept[artment Spokeswoman]: ‘Largest Threat to U.S. National Security are U.S. Cops.’ — The State Department’s newly installed deputy spokesperson, Jalina Porter, said in a 2016 Facebook post … ‘The largest threat to U.S. national security are U.S. cops. … “Not ISIS, not Russian hackers, not anyone or anything else.'” American cops. Now, her Facebook “comments were made on September 20, 2016, and appear to be in reference to video footage released that day of an unarmed black man being shot by police officers in Tulsa…”...

CHEYENNE, Wyo. — Jim Lish, an Iraq War veteran, recalls fondly how receptive his local congresswoman was when he visited her in Washington to talk about treatments for traumatic brain injury. He appreciated her efforts to bring a national Veterans Affairs cemetery to the state. And he admired her family, a political dynasty of sorts whose names are on high school soccer fields and whose books are displayed at the local library.

An oil and gas employee in New Mexico warned that President Biden’s order to halt new drilling on federal lands and a potential ban on all drilling on federal lands is “going to make oil and gas operators look at investing at other places.” “What this does is it exports New Mexican jobs and it causes us to import foreign oil,” Lee Livingston with Mack Energy Corporation, told FOX Business’ Grady Trimble during an interview on “Varney & Co.” on Tuesday. According to The American Petroleum Institute (API), a recent analysis revealed New Mexico would be among the hardest-hit states...

With wokeness suddenly flooding universities, high schools, the medical profession, the military, business, and seemingly everywhere else, we are seeing something comparable to the Arian crisis of the 4th century or the Albigensian crisis of the 13th century – the alarmingly rapid spread of a toxic religious cult that threatens the general sociopolitical order no less than it does the Church. As in these earlier crises, there are many Christians, already heterodox anyway, who are happy to cave in to the madness. And there are also some otherwise orthodox Christians who, out of cowardice and/or muddle-headedness, try to accommodate themselves...

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D.-N.Y.) sent out a tweet on Sunday—as a snow storm hit Washington, D.C.—declaring that: “The climate crisis is an emergency.” In his tweet, Schumer called for Biden to declare a national emergency. “President Biden should declare a national emergency on the climate crisis,” Schumer said. “Donald Trump declared a fake emergency for his ineffective, wasteful wall,” Schumer said. “That was no emergency. “The climate crisis is an emergency,” Schumer said.

Good news for Democrats!

The National Rifle Association (NRA) teamed with three Virginia residents and filed a lawsuit on Friday, Jan. 29, against Fairfax County for its unconstitutional ban on firearm possession in parks and in areas adjacent to certain events. “The ban on firearms in parks and on trails in Fairfax County is dangerous and unconstitutional,” said Amy Hunter, spokeswoman, NRA. “While all of us hope that parks are safe and beautiful havens, the reality is that assaults, sexual assaults and other violent crimes can and do occur at parks. Furthermore, parks are some of the few places people can go during the...

China’s top diplomat Yang Jiechi warned the Biden administration not to cross Beijing’s “red line” in a half-hour speech on the evening of Feb. 1. “The United States should stop interference in the affairs of Hong Kong, Tibet, and Xinjiang,” Yang said, calling the issues regarding the three regions China’s “internal affairs.” He made the remarks while speaking at a virtual event hosted by New York-based nonprofit the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations. Yang added: “They constitute a red line that must not be crossed. Any trespassing would end up undermining China-U.S. relations and the United States’ own interests.” He...

The first rifle on my list is the venerable Ruger 10/22. Designed to mimic the size and weight of the historic M1 Carbine, this compact weapon has made a name for itself as one of the most accurate, reliable, and affordable .22s on the market. It works great for small game hunting or propped by the back door for varmints, and with a 10-round magazine, it can handle self-defense in a pinch. There is also an endless list of aftermarket accessories available, so you can customize your rifle with ease.

The House impeachment managers are confident the evidence is strong enough to convict former President Donald Trump of “incitement of insurrection.” The managers, headed by Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), released a statement after they filed a brief outlining their case against Trump. “The facts are compelling and the evidence is overwhelming. After months of spreading his Big Lie that he won a landslide victory in the 2020 election, leading up to and on January 6, 2021, President Trump summoned, assembled and incited a violent mob that attacked the Capitol, cost the lives of three police officers and four other people,...

SACRAMENTO — Gov. Gavin Newsom’s job approval rating among California voters has plummeted, driven largely by dissatisfaction over the state’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic and adding fuel to a Republican-led recall campaign, according to a new poll by the UC Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies. More than a third of the state’s registered voters said they would vote to oust Newsom from office if the recall qualifies for the ballot, though 45% said they would oppose such a move, the survey found. The decline in Newsom’s standing could endanger his policy agenda as he guides the state through the...

“British gold and promises of personal freedom served as futile incentives among the Negroes of the American Navy; for them, the proud consciousness of duty well done served as a constant monitor and nerved their strong black arms when thundering shot and shell menaced the future of the country; and, although African slavery was still a recognized legal institution and constituted the basic fabric of the great food productive industry of the nation, it was the Negro’s trusted devotion to duty whichever guided him in the nation’s darkest hours of peril and menace.”

I heard RUSH say many articles have been asking. But I wanted to here it from you the Grass Root Folks!

President Trump’s legal team has called on the Senate for an acquittal, while arguing the impeachment trial is unconstitutional. In a brief filed with the House Tuesday, defense attorneys noted Trump cannot be tried for impeachment because he is no longer the sitting president. They also argued his January 6 speech was protected by the First Amendment and he did not engage in insurrection or rebellion. Trump’s legal team said the Senate has no jurisdiction over whether he can hold office again and the House Articles of Impeachment were improperly drafted. The response came after the House Democrats filed their...
