MSNBC “Morning Joe” host Joe Scarborough on Wednesday reacted to President Joe Biden changing his tune on moving the Masters golf tournament out of Georgia a week after calling for Major League Baseball to move its All-Star Game out of the state. The call, which was ultimately heeded by MLB, came in response to Georgia’s new election law. After MSNBC’s Willie Geist pointed out that it is “impossible to square” Biden’s argument, Scarborough suggested the league and others, including the president, “jumped the gun” before actually reading Georgia’s law and comparing it to other states’ election laws.

“Few Republicans have as much COURAGE and FIGHT as Alabama Congressman Mo Brooks. Mo is a great Conservative Republican leader, who will stand up for America First no matter what obstacles the Fake News Media, RINOs, or Socialist Democrats may place in his path,” wrote President Trump. “Mo Brooks is pro-life, loves our Military and our Vets, will protect our Second Amendment, combat the Biden open borders agenda, is fighting for voter integrity (like few others), and was the Co-Chair of our winning, and record setting, Alabama campaign in 2020. Mo Brooks has my Complete and Total Endorsement for the...

The China Coast Guard’s aggressive behavior around the Senkaku islands, Beijing’s build-up of coastal military capabilities and this weekend’s transit of a People’s Liberation Army Navy carrier strike group near Okinawa underline Tokyo’s need for its own offensive military capability resources, a leading Japanese security expert said Monday.Masafuma Iida, head of the America, Europe and Russia Division at the Japanese National Institute for Defense Studies, said the threat China poses now is a “very severe reality” that requires “Japan [to] acquire more offensive capability.” He called for the Japanese Air Self-Defense Force to have a long-range precision strike that could...

One in three people who overcome COVID-19 suffer from a neurological or psychiatric diagnosis six months on, according to the largest study so far published on the mental toll that long-COVID takes on survivors. Authors said the research, printed Wednesday in The Lancet Psychiatry journal, proved that COVID-19 patients were significantly more likely to develop brain conditions than those suffering from other respiratory tract infections. Studying the health records of more than 230,000 patients who had recovered from COVID-19, they found that 34 percent were diagnosed with a neurological or psychiatric condition within six months. The most common conditions were...

Let's say I wanted to build a small web site to try and make a small stab against wokeness. In the past, I'd have probably registered a domain with Godaddy, and then either rented some hosting space or thrown up my own server. In a rural area and it's hard enough to get a reliable DSL - and I need to stay on the good side of my ISP since I use it for work. So short of renting some commercial space in town and trying to get a business internet connection, it looks like I'd have to use a...

Republicans have slammed Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) for tweeting Wednesday that paid leave, child care, and caregiving are “infrastructure” related items to include in future infrastructure legislation.

Another public official silenced by the tech giants. YouTube has censored a video of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’s March 18 public health roundtable which featured former White House coronavirus advisor Dr. Scott Atlas and the authors of The Great Barrington Declaration – an anti-lockdown statement from Dr. Sunetra Gupta, Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, and Dr. Martin Kulldorff.

The world’s richest man and liberal Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos broke his silence to advocate for President Joe Biden’s plan to hike the corporate tax rate from 21 percent to 28 percent. The Amazon CEO released a statement April 6 praising how “[w]e support the Biden Administration’s focus on making bold [multitrillion-dollar] investments in American infrastructure.” Bezos attempted to seem bipartisan, but then slipped a little note in parentheses that underscored his liberal political bent: “We recognize this investment will require concessions from all sides—both on the specifics of what’s included as well as how it gets paid for...

Former President Donald Trump on Wednesday denied a report that claimed embattled Rep. Matt Gaetz sought a blanket pardon from his White House — for himself and unidentified congressional allies amid a federal probe of underage sex trafficking allegations. “Congressman Matt Gaetz has never asked me for a pardon,” the 45th commander-in-chief said in the emailed statement, “It must also be remembered that he has totally denied the accusations against him.” The New York Times reported Tuesday that Gaetz (R-Fla.) allegedly pushed a pardon

Man Who Agrees With Every Single Corporation Thinks He's Part Of The Resistance

The LA County Sheriff’s Office is expected to announce Wednesday — that he will not face any charges or citations, according to a report.

Local Tea Party leader Pressley Stutts said Trump’s instructions to the faithful were clear: “‘Go purge, get rid of the RINOs in the Republican Party.’ So we took him seriously.” When Lenna Smith arrived at her precinct’s annual Republican Party organizing meeting last month, she didn’t expect to be greeted by a dozen strangers. Smith has been a fixture in GOP politics in Greenville, South Carolina, for 30 years. As a prominent anti-abortion activist, she has in her rolodex nearly everyone notable or influential in conservative circles in the state’s most populous county. She is on a first-name basis with...

A semiconductor shortage has been plaguing the automobile industry for several months, and this piece explains why: To understand why the $450 billion semiconductor industry has lurched into crisis, a helpful place to start is a one-dollar part called a display driver. Correction: The semiconductor industry itself isn’t in crisis, it’s making money hand-over-fist right now. It’s certain industries relying on semiconductors that have the problem. Hundreds of different kinds of chips make up the global silicon industry, with the flashiest ones from Qualcomm Inc. and Intel Corp. going for $100 apiece to more than $1,000. Those run powerful computers...

Iranian officials are claiming victory over the United States as diplomats gather this week for negotiations over a revamped nuclear deal, discussions that are likely to result in the Biden administration lifting tough economic sanctions on the Islamic Republic. Iranian government spokesman Ali Rabiei said Tuesday that his country's leaders will not sit down for talks with the Americans, including U.S.-Iran envoy Robert Malley. American diplomats, however, expect indirect communications through intermediaries. Rabiei said the negotiations, which will occur in Vienna, represent a victory over the United States and the former Trump administration's "maximum pressure" campaign on Iran, which included...

Late one spring evening quite a few years ago, my teenage daughter and I peered out the door to enjoy the cool of the spring night. In the glow of the porch light we saw something in the bush out by the door so we shone a flashlight on it. In the bright beam of the flashlight, many glistening pairs of eyes glowed . We decided the eyes belonged to insects of some sort and the effect of the many red dots of reflected light was rather mesmerizing. But then one of them left the bush and flew towards the...

Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz has been tapped as a “special guest” at the upcoming Women for America First summit in Miami — as he battles accusations that he paid for sex with women, including an underage girl. The embattled Republican congressman was announced as a headline speaker at the pro-Trump group’s four-day “Save America Summit” beginning Thursday. “Rep Matt Gaetz has been a fearless leader in DC. Few members of Congress have been more willing than Matt to stand up & fight on behalf of President Trump & his America First Agenda,” Women for America First tweeted Tuesday. “We are...
