TUCKER: Well, many colleges and universities now teach something called critical race theory. Now, according to critical race theory, some races are inherently better than other races. This isn’t an assault on racism. It is racism and it’s spreading. Bewilderingly the deepest possible betrayal of the promise of this country of every Martin Luther King speech ever given. And yet it’s in your kid’s school. One law professor started a website called critical race.org. Once again, that’s critical race dot, or you can use that site to track the spread of these diseased ideas in schools and seeing if they’ve...

Nearly 80 cups of coffee for less than $3? Market Basket’s 11.5-ounce house brand ground coffee cans seemed like a deal too good to be true. According to a Massachusetts man’s lawsuit, that’s because it was. Two of Market Basket’s “misleading” coffee cans included less than half the number of rounded tablespoons that had been advertised on their packages, alleges a proposed class action lawsuit filed Tuesday in federal court on behalf of Weymouth resident David Cohen. According to the suit, Cohen purchased the Tewksbury-based grocery store’s 11.5-ounce House Blend and 11.5-ounce House Blend Decaf coffee cans under the “reasonable...

Even though experts believe college is still worth the cost, employers question the value to their businesses. Many believe college degrees do not provide graduates with the skills needed in today’s workplace. In a 2014 survey of over 600 business leaders, only 11 percent strongly agreed that college graduates had the skills their companies needed. The majority believed that universities are not adequately preparing students. The gap has only widened since then. Employers expect more from college graduates. The mismatch between college programs and the needs of the business community creates two problems for graduates. Many cannot find meaningful employment...

Marjorie Taylor Greene and I share the same political party. We share some political views. We don't share all the same political views, God knows, but I don't see how that really makes a difference, do you?The same "cancel" rhetoric used against the freshman from Georgia has been used against Jim Jordan, Matt Gaetz, Doug Collins, Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley, Tom Cotton, and even grandfatherly Mitch McConnell.Let's be clear: Nancy Pelosi, Steny Hoyer, Chuck Schumer, and Dick Durbin claim all Republicans are dangerous extremists when it serves their political purpose. Hell, they depicted Paul Ryan murdering an elderly, wheelchair-bound woman...

House impeachment managers sent a letter to Donald Trump strongly suggesting the former president testify at the Senate impeachment trial. The trial, slated to begin on Tuesday of next week, involves a charge from the House that Trump incited a mob of supporters who stormed the Capitol on January 6th. A formal response from Trump’s lawyers “denied” that he “ever engaged in a violation of his oath of office,” and instead he, “at all times acted to the best of his ability to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.” Lead impeachment manager Jamie Raskin (D-MD) essentially...

Comrades, it is time. Time to expand The Executive Purge List.Re-impeaching Ex-President Trump from the office of the presidency may prevent him from running for that office again.

Will “Big Guy” Joe Biden come through for the “not bad folks” of Communist China? Joe Biden is on record that the Chinese Communists are “not bad folks, folks,” and “not competition for us.” The Delaware Democrat, is facing a crucial decision on China, by way of Canada, that deserves careful monitoring. In December of 2018 in Vancouver, Canada arrested Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou on a U.S. extradition warrant. China responded by taking captive Canadians Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor. As Solarina Ho of CTV News reports, Trudeau has spoken to Joe Biden about the case and “should the U.S....

N.Y. money manager with dealership investments charged in $1.8B Ponzi-like fraud JONATHAN STEMPEL, Reuters NEW YORK -- The head of a New York money manager that holds a controlling stake in the nation's 11th-largest auto dealership group was criminally charged along with two associates on Thursday with running what authorities called a $1.8 billion Ponzi-like fraud where thousands of victims were falsely promised steady returns on their investments. David Gentile, CEO of GPB Capital Holdings LLC, was accused of using new money to repay earlier investors, and together with his co-defendants siphoning millions of dollars to pay themselves and fund...

Lyin’ Joe just can’t help himself, or maybe he’s just having a little Alzheimer moment. President Biden has revived an old claim that previously got him in hot water, telling state department employees Thursday that he was “shot at” overseas. Remarking on the courage of the diplomatic aides he was speaking to, Biden commented, “I’ve been with some of you when we’ve been shot at.”

NORTHEAST MIAMI-DADE, FL – A Florida Highway Patrol trooper is miraculously unharmed after an alleged attempted execution-style shooting of the trooper that occurred during the afternoon of February 3rd. As for the suspect alleged to have tried shooting the trooper, officials say that the trooper managed to successfully return fire on the suspect.

At the White House press briefing on Feb. 4, NBC News Chief White House Correspondent Peter Alexander asked Press Secretary Jen Psaki for an update on what the Biden administration is doing to “combat [the] resistance of Americans to wearing masks and social distancing.” In her reply, she suggested that Americans would have to keep taking strict precautions even after receiving the vaccine. “….Even after you’re vaccinated, social distancing, wearing masks are going to be essential. We’ll need to keep communicating about that through health and medical experts,” she said in her reply.

In his inauguration speech Jan. 20, President Joe Biden invoked Abraham Lincoln and the Gettysburg Address—and a nation, now as then, deeply divided. “To overcome these challenges—to restore the soul and to secure the future of America—requires more than words,” Biden solemnly intoned. “It requires that most elusive of things in a democracy: unity. Unity.” The repetition presumably was for emphasis.

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) was granted a concealed carry permit in D.C., police Chief Robert Contee said in a press conference Thursday. “A concealed carry permit was issued in that case,” Contee said when asked if the permit was granted for the first-year congresswoman. Boebert went viral last month for an ad she released of her walking around Capitol grounds in which she said, “I will carry my firearm in D.C. and in Congress.” The Colorado Republican is seen in the video walking around the Capitol while appearing to carry a handgun. Members are allowed to carry handguns on Capitol...

Congressional Democrats are preparing to leave Republicans behind as they push forward with another COVID-19 relief bill. With a 50/50 party split in the Senate, congressional Democrats have spent the past week discussing using a budget reconciliation bill to pass their COVID-19 relief with just a simple majority. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi affirmed in a Thursday press conference that Democrats would pass the reconciliation “if we need it” — but some centrist Republicans reportedly aren’t thrilled. Pelosi sent a letter to her colleagues Wednesday with this message: “On the legislative front, we are grateful to our Committee Chairs, who are...

China’s ruling communist party has further tightened its control over speech, information, and thought among the Chinese people, announcing limits on what is allowed on Chinese social media. The country’s social media platforms in recent days have issued notices to users, requiring them to obtain “Internet News Information Service Licenses” or otherwise be banned from commenting on “politics, economics, the military, diplomacy, and other major news.” The notices explain that if a user does not have a license, they are advised not to compile, publish, comment and interpret any information on current affairs. The notices from Sohu and Baidu clearly...

Gov. Charlie Baker must be losing it — on Wednesday he let St. Anthony Fauci beat him to the punch by hours in trying to scare “folks” out of having Super Bowl parties Sunday. “Every time we have something like this,” Fauci thundered to the true believers on the Democrat morning shows, “there is always a spike.” By the time Charlie Parker — as Joe Biden calls him — went out to administer his daily rites of panic porn, Fauci owned the headlines: “Lay low and cool it.” Parker seemed off his game, for once almost apologetic about his hysterical...

This seems like the sort of thing you don’t say out loud but, like a serial killer, many in politics are just too absorbed in their own egos to not try to take credit for their deeds. TIME wrote a very interesting piece making some very alarming claims. Namely, that a secret cabal banded together across the country to stop Donald Trump from winning re-election. This included everything from manipulating media coverage to getting election laws changed, at least according to TIME’s account.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — After only their first few weeks of work, tensions already are high among lawmakers meeting in-person at some state capitols — not because of testy debates over taxes, guns or abortion, but because of a disregard for coronavirus precautions. In Georgia, a Republican lawmaker recently was booted from the House floor for refusing to get tested for the coronavirus. In Iowa, a Democratic House member boldly violated a no-jeans rule to protest the chamber’s lack of a mask rule. And in Missouri, numerous lawmakers and staff — some fearing for their health after a COVID-19...

A B.C. man who gained widespread attention for helping drive a stranded American family to the Alaska-Canada border will soon be able to do that trip in a new car. Gary Bath, a Canadian ranger and military veteran in Fort St. John, helped Lynn Marchessault and her family after they were stranded in a November snowstorm on their way to join her husband. That good deed has been recognized by Planters, the American nut company, which is giving both Bath and Marchessault a new car and a lifetime supply of peanuts. “They reached out through (Facebook) Messenger, trying to get...
