U.S.—The nation is preparing to celebrate what is expected to become a beloved annual holiday: Two Weeks To Slow The Spread Day, to be held in March every year. "This time of year we like to come together to remember the historic day one year ago when we put on masks and locked ourselves down, trusting that the lockdown would be over in just two weeks," said local man Paul Christof as he stared out his window longingly, his three masks securely in place. "This year, I'm going all out with a Zoom party with no more than five of...

Pentagon Spokesman John Kirby said Monday that the estimated cost for National Guard protection of the U.S. Capitol complex through March 15 will cost taxpayers a total of $483 million.

A federal judge in Texas extended the suspension of President Joe Biden’s 100-day moratorium on deportations until Feb. 23. U.S. District Court Judge Drew Tipton in the Southern District of Texas on Tuesday ruled that the federal government cannot make immigration enforcement changes without consulting Texas. As a result, he extended the temporary restraining order by another 14 days, asserting that the state of Texas would face more harm than the federal government if the extension wasn’t granted.

A top ethics lawyer during the Obama administration said this week that President Joe Biden’s administration should clarify ethics rules after it was revealed his brother’s law firm was using the sibling relationship in promotional material. Frank Biden was hired by Berman Law Group as a senior adviser in 2018. Since then, the Florida-based company has touted his ties to Joe Biden. In one post in 2018, the firm wrote that “Joe Biden’s brother joins The Berman Law Group.” In an advertisement that ran on the day Joe Biden was inaugurated, the firm said Frank Biden shared his brother’s “commitment...

A law professor who’s been sitting on Facebook’s oversight board stepped down to accept a position in President Joe Biden’s Department of Justice. Stanford’s Pamela Karlan will serve as principal deputy assistant attorney general in the DOJ’s Civil Division after spending less than a year on the Facebook board set up in 2019 to review the social media behemoth’s content policing decisions. In 2019, she testified at Trump’s first impeachment trial, making a quip at the expense of his son, for which she later apologized. During one public appearance she joked that she “had to cross the street” to avoid...

A judge has temporarily blocked Los Angeles County George Gascón's efforts to do away with certain sentencing enhancements, after his own prosecutors sued him, claiming he was ignoring the law. The directives forbade prosecutors from seeking longer sentences for repeat offenders under the state's Three Strikes Law, as well as in several other types of cases. The Association of Deputy District Attorneys for Los Angeles County (ADDA) brought a lawsuit against him, and Judge James Chalfant granted their request for a preliminary injunction, allowing certain sentencing enhancements to continue for the duration of the case.

Last week I told you about former teen and current gun-grabber David Hogg starting his own pillow company to take down My Pillow founder Mike Lindell. You can almost see the cartoon thought-balloon over Hogg’s adorable little head: “Hey, if a crazy crackhead can become a multimillionaire by making pillows, how tough can it be?” Unfortunately, young Mr. Hogg is quickly discovering exactly how tough it can be. And thanks to the modern miracle of Twitter, we can watch him sink into a pit of disillusioned despair in real-time.

'Tucker Carlson Tonight' host slams media coverage of coronavirus vaccine as 'totally disingenuous'

For the second time in under a month, The New York Times has published an article about people who developed a rare autoimmune disease after receiving COVID vaccines. Monday’s article featured two women, both of whom were described as healthy before they received the Moderna vaccine. The women, ages 72 and 48, are now being treated for immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), a condition that develops when the immune system attacks platelets (blood component essential for clotting) or the cells that create them, according to the Times. On Jan. 13, the Times reported on the death of Dr. Gregory Michael, a Florida...

He recalled hearing “pounding on the door like a battering ram” and remembered it as “the most haunting sound” he has ever heard. Raskin reflected on the moment he apologized to his daughter and told her it would not be the same when she returned to the Capitol. “I told her how sorry I was and I promised her that it would not be like this again the next time she came back to the Capitol...

KELO-TV reported South Dakota state Republican House Rep.

An extensive correspondence, which WELT AM SONNTAG has, shows: In the first high phase of the pandemic, the house of Interior Minister Horst Seehofer acted on researchers. Thereupon they provided results for a dramatic "secret paper" of the ministry. The Federal Ministry of the Interior engaged scientists from several research institutes and universities for political purposes in the first wave of the corona pandemic in March 2020. It commissioned the researchers from the Robert Koch Institute and other institutions to create a calculation model on the basis of which the Ministry of the Interior, Horst Seehofer (CSU), wanted to justify...

The new congress women from Georgia, Marjorie Taylor Green perfectly sums up the Democrats’ Impeachment charade in one Tweet. “This impeachment trial is circus for the Democrat media mob to entertain the masses that they have brainwashed and addicted to hate, so they don’t see the Dem policies being rapidly forced into place that are destroying our lives, stealing our freedoms and putting America last.” She sums it up perfectly. Joe Biden is busy signing executive orders on everything from immigration to climate policy and all the House and Senate are focused is a 2nd Impeachment. On her first day...

Richmond, Va., Feb 6, 2021 / 03:01 pm MT (CNA).- The Virginia House of Representatives on Wednesday passed a bill to remove conscience protections for child-placing agencies, prompting worry that the state’s Catholic adoption and foster care agencies could be forced to shut down because of their views on marriage. HB 1932 would repeal a section of the Code of Virginia which reads, in part: “To the extent allowed by federal law, no private child-placing agency shall be required to perform, assist, counsel, recommend, consent to, refer, or participate in any placement of a child for foster care or adoption...

Interestingly Politico is picking up on a fear amid the GOPe (establishment) that President Trump will likely not only survive the second insufferable impeachment effort, but he is likely to exit stronger than ever…. and that means retaliation against the DeceptiCon class of republicans. This is the blind spot of the UniParty, their inability to see that smart Americans have identified their motives and are prepared to destroy them. This is the aspect CTH warned about the day after the November election. The GOPe is so fraught with elitist perspectives, it continues to assemble as a hopeless echo-chamber, and they...
