Trump is gone and Iran finally has another President they can push around. But this time they don’t want a measly $150 Billion like Obama gave them, they want much, much more. Iran has told President Joe Biden to pay $1 trillion in damages caused by the U.S. sanctions as the White House gears up for nuclear talks with the regime. The Biden administration can hand over the mind-boggling amount as “reparation” or “investment” in the Iranian economy, regime’s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif demanded on Sunday.

Thanks to experience with numerous hurricanes, we were prepared for the Texas power outage and no one slept in the cold at our house. When you are prepared, three days is not that bad.I have lived along the Gulf Coast my entire life, mostly in the Houston Area. I lived and worked in Louisiana when Hurricanes Katrina, Rita, and Gustav slammed into South Louisiana and have learned from my successes and failures and those of my friends.After moving back home to Texas and a long period of relatively quiet storm activity, Hurricane Harvey was a test of different beast until...

Five years after failing to give him a hearing as a Supreme Court nominee, Republican senators were generally cordial in their questioning of Merrick Garland, President Biden’s nominee for attorney general.“I like you, I respect you, and I think you are a good pick for this job,” said Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, early in a Monday hearing with the Senate Judiciary Committee. Grassley is the top Republican on the committee.“I think you’re a very good pick for this job,” said Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., who previously served as Judiciary chairman.

VIDEOMerrick Garland very conveniently turned into Mumblin' Merrick, a mumbling bumbling completely ignorant fool, whenever he was asked questions that he didn't want to give a direct answer to during his U.S. Senate confirmation hearing for Attorney General.

Biden asks: What would you have me cut from COVID relief bill?

I’m a lifelong Redskins fan. So, when I say there is one man in the NFL who deserves to have his franchise ripped from his cold, dead hands it’s Dan Snyder — you can believe I’m being sincere. I’ve spent most of my years as a fan watching this smug asshole spend wildly while the Redskins always find ways to fall apart each season no matter who the coach is or who is on the roster. That leaves one person footing the bill – Snyder… But I’d gladly take another decade of losing if it meant the team wasn’t owned...

Canadians who test positive forced to undergo quarantine in government facility... After a new policy mandating Canadians take an airport COVID test to determine whether they will have to undergo quarantine at a government facility was introduced yesterday, a viral video clip shows a man refusing to take the test before being issued with a fine. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau outlined the details of the new policy in a tweet yesterday afternoon. “Update: If you’re flying back into Canada, you’ll need to show a negative PCR test result before you board the plane – and as of today, you’ll need...

The producers behind The Bachelor had vowed to do better when it came to diversity and representation on their hit ABC franchise. “We are taking positive steps to expand diversity in our cast, in our staff, and most importantly, in the relationships that we show on television,” the executive producers said in the summer of 2020. “We can and will do better to reflect the world around us and show all of its beautiful love stories.”

BDS tells its supporters that it is "an inclusive, anti-racist human rights movement that is opposed on principle to all forms of discrimination, including anti-semitism and Islamophobia". That is a lie.BDS has also succeeded in making life worse for Palestinian Arabs, the very people they falsely claim to help. This includes backing and strengthening the leadership of the Palestinian Authority (PA) and Hamas....[snip]Using words chillingly resonant of the Third Reich, Mahmoud Abbas said during a speech in Egypt: "In a final resolution, we would not see the presence of a single Israeli — civilian or soldier — on our lands"....

President Joe Biden suffered another awkward brain freeze on Monday as he attempted to memorialize victims of the coronavirus. Biden marked 500,000 American deaths during a White House ceremony — 100,000 since he took office — when he said, “The only way to spare more pain and more loss, the only way— these millstones no longer mark our national mourning— these milestones, I should say, no longer, no longer moke— mark our national mourning.”

The Biden administration is currently attempting to enact an “administrative abolishment” of Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Along with essentially rolling out a welcome banner for illegals, the move will also terminate the jobs of thousands of officers who arrest and deport these trespassers.

No governor's story is as emblematic of the media malpractice in the era of coronavirus than that of Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis. No governor’s story is as emblematic of media malpractice in the era of coronavirus than of Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis. An opponent of the draconian lockdowns eroding liberty at the stroke of a pen, DeSantis has angered statists more than has any Republican in the past year except for Donald Trump.By refusing the one-size-fits-all approach demanded by Dr. Anthony Fauci, a triumphant DeSantis has become both a villain to the left and a hero of the...

During introductory remarks at a three-day summit to address violent extremism on Tuesday, Vice President Joe Biden welcomed future waves of immigration which he predicted are “not going to stop.” ~snip~ “I’m proud of the American record on culture and economic integration of not only our Muslim communities but African communities, Asian communities, Hispanic communities,” Biden said. “And the wave still continues.

Another Democrat lawmaker who took umbrage with Lauren Boebert’s display was Rep.

The campaign by critics of New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s bid to hide nursing home COVID-19 deaths as he basked in media praise for his virus efforts is kicking into a higher gear today with a new video call for him to go. The conservative Washington-based Committee to Unleash Prosperity is posting a video detailing the alleged failures of Cuomo’s virus efforts juxtaposed with his bragging book and Emmy for holding daily coronavirus briefings. “Andrew Cuomo claims he protected nursing homes. It didn't work. Cuomo lied,” said the video shown to Secrets. “Seniors died in darkness while Cuomo took the...

The Supreme Court’s abdication of its authority to answer important constitutional questions threatens even more chaotic federal elections.On Feb. 22, the Supreme Court refused to hear two 2020 election-related appeals, falling one vote short of the four needed for the high court to agree to hear the case. Justice Clarence Thomas dissented from the denial of certiorari, as did Justice Samuel Alito in a separate dissent, joined by Justice Neil Gorsuch. With Joe Biden now a month into his office as president of the United States, Americans may shrug at the court’s decision, but we shouldn’t: The Supreme Court’s abdication...
