JUNEAU, Alaska - Alaska Republican U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski said Tuesday she knows her vote to convict former President Donald Trump during his recent Senate impeachment trial could have political consequences, “but I can’t be afraid of that.” If the people of Alaska decide that “because I did not support my party that I can no longer serve them in the United States Senate, then so be it,” Murkowski told reporters during a visit to the state Capitol. She also said that if the state Republican Party decides to censure her for her vote, “they can make that statement. But...

In the end, the judge denied Binger’s requests and forbade the DA’s office from accessing...

AUSTIN, Texas - Anger over Texas’ power grid failing in the face of a record winter freeze mounted Tuesday as millions of residents in the energy capital of the U.S. remained shivering with no assurances that their electricity and heat — out for 36 hours or longer in many homes — would return soon or stay on once it finally does. “I know people are angry and frustrated,” said Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner, who woke up to more than 1 million people still without power in his city. “So am I.” Making matters worse, expectations that the outages would be...

In addition, she’s already handling some of his major official duties. It’s like some creepy horror story: Whenever Biden gives a speech, there’s an almost spectral figure standing behind him. It doesn’t take too much imagination to liken that figure to Grim Reaper, waiting for Biden’s appointment with his final destiny. Of course, it’s not the Grim Reaper; it’s merely Kamala Harris, who’s clearly being prepped to take over as president in Biden’s place as soon as possible. As part of this obvious agenda, Harris is already handling some of Joe’s major foreign policy telephone calls. Here are screenshots of...

... Santa Clara County saw 4,517 people fail to show up for confirmed vaccine appointments at county-run sites such as the fairgrounds from Feb. 8 to 12, according to a county spokesperson. The county couldn't confirm why people failed to show. One theory was they made multiple appointments out of concern one would be cancelled as some vaccine sites run out of supply. The county said they filled the spots through public messaging and social media alerting people in Phase 1A — health care workers and long-term care residents — who haven't received vaccines. SFGATE is hoping to learn more...

Is it possible to create parallel Americas without instigating a separation? In Year One of the Biden Revolutionary Calendar, Democrats, the left, and the globalist clique are in high spirits. They’ve resumed the four years stalled wonderous “transformation” of America, and they’re doing so with a literal vengeance. These Jacobins won’t end up transforming the country, though. No, what they’re setting in motion is the law of unintended consequences. They want to radically change America through sheer imposition, dominance, and by curtailing basic rights. In fact, as this is written, they’re off to a swell start driving a deeper wedge...

President Biden’s call for gun control on the anniversary of the Parkland, Fla. tragedy is, well… malarkey President Joe Biden marked the anniversary of the tragedy at Parkland, Fla., by calling for three of the planks of his gun control platform. He showed with this gun control call that he’s more interested in pursuing an agenda that’s rooted in ideological goals and not grounded in reality. Instead of pledging to hold criminals accountable for their actions and improve security at public schools, President Biden chose to placate the radical elements of his party. President Biden used the tragic loss of...

There it is, hiding in plain sight: An astonishing six-part plan to make America into a one-party state. With the 2020 election in the rear-view mirror, it is timely to focus on election politics for 2022 and beyond. The first step is pattern recognition: The Democrats are pursuing a multi-prong strategy to cement a permanent majority. To accomplish the goal requires upending the constitutional design. Until the scope of this effort is seen in its entirety, it can proceed in the shadows. It has six astonishing elements: i. Enable Congress to determine who can run for President,ii. Eliminate the Electoral...

A consultant for the Republican establishment, who wrongly predicted that former President Trump would not be the GOP presidential nominee in 2015, is now calling former United Nations (UN) Ambassador Nikki Haley the “front-runner” for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination. GOP consultant Alex Castellanos — whose clients have included the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, former President George W. Bush, and Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) during his failed 2008 presidential bid — claims Haley is leading the GOP slate of potential candidates for 2024. “I think Nikki Haley is the front-runner and it’s going to be very hard to stop her,”...

Law Enforcement sources report the release of more than 200 mostly Central American family units into a West Texas border community. The Biden administration’s cancellation of swift removal policies for Central American migrants forced Border Patrol officials to begin the releases of certain migrants immediately. The recent dismantling of international agreements by the Biden administration created a backlog of migrants being detained in Border Patrol facilities. Due to these changes, the Border Patrol will begin to release Central American family groups that cannot be removed by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to their home countries, according to information obtained...

Nine Democratic members of the New York State Assembly on Tuesday accused Gov. Andrew Cuomo of federal obstruction of justice in a letter seeking support to strip him of his COVID-19 emergency powers. The move followed last week’s exclusive Post report that revealed Secretary to the Governor Melissa DeRosa admitting to Democratic lawmakers that Cuomo’s administration covered up data about the total number of nursing home residents killed by the coronavirus. The letter, sent Tuesday to members of the Assembly, said, “It is now unambiguously clear that this governor has engaged in an intentional obstruction of justice, as outlined in...

LAS VEGAS (AP) - A county board voted unanimously Tuesday to rename busy McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas after former U.S. Sen. Harry Reid of Nevada. The all-Democratic Clark County Commission approved a measure directing the county’s airport staff to file a change with the Federal Aviation Administration renaming the facility Harry Reid International Airport. The county commission oversees the airport and is the final authority on a name change. There have been longstanding calls to rename the airport. Its current namesake, former Nevada Sen. Patrick McCarran, served as one of Nevada’s two U.S. senators from 1933 until his...

ABC is in “crisis mode” and considering taking the spotlight off Claudia Conway after her appearance on “American Idol” was branded “exploitative” because it appeared to capitalize on her serious struggles with her mom, Kellyanne Conway. For months, Claudia, 16, has been documenting her volatile relationship with her mother, a former White House adviser to Donald Trump, on Tik Tok. Things got so bad that cops got involved last month after Claudia accused Kellyanne, 54, of leaking a nude picture of her (though she later recanted the allegation). This weekend, Claudia appeared on the talent show, with the network...
