The Republican Party is a 'front for a terrorist movement,' MSNBC contributor and controversial political scientist Dr. Jason Johnson argued on the network Thursday, comparing the GOP to a 'terror cell.' Dr. Johnson made an appearance on 'Deadline: White House,' where he proceeded to make the brazen comparison while discussing the relationship between former President Donald Trump and the Republican Party as the 2024 presidential election draws ever near. Dr. Johnson, who is an associate professor of communication and journalism at HBCU Morgan State University, referred to Trump as 'the bad guy' and called the Republican Party itself a 'front...

Do we all get it that as of yesterday, Joe Biden is officially a LAME DUCK?Let's look at the facts as of today, shall we? 1. Build Back Broke --- DEAD. At least as of now and assuming Joe Manchin, who typically folds like a cheap suit on everything else, actually holds his ground here.2. Changing the Senate Fillibuster Rules so the Dem's can rig elections in their favor forever --- DEAD. Krysten Sinema, a Democrat is showing she has more balls than just about the entire Republican Party combined. That is, assuming she hold her ground as well.3. Biden's...

resident Joe Biden delivered another one of those COVID-19 speeches Thursday morning. It was the languid Joe today, more reminiscent of a Franklin Roosevelt fireside chat than the absurdly torrid speech he delivered in Atlanta this week that would have made the always bombastic Louisiana Gov. Huey Long appears placid. Biden may think he’s doing an excellent job at playing the good cop, bad cop routine, but in both roles he not only appears unhinged, but always struggling to grasp the issue at hand. Thursday was no exception. Biden gently chided the unvaccinated whom he continues to blame for the...

he intended role of representative central government is to fill vacuums -- to formulate and implement constructive policy towards the resolution of issues only when such cannot be achieved at a grassroots level. SNIP We are guilty of being a systemically racist nation, fueled by white supremacy and patriarchy. Riots are “what people do.” Equity trumps merit. Identity politics trumps unity. Cancel culture precludes conversation. Criminal behavior is acceptable. Income inequality is a crime against the people. Hysteria and fear are the proper response to COVID. American imperialism justifies open immigration. The January 6 “insurrection” heralds the downfall of democracy....

America has made a habit of exporting democracy at the point of the bayonet, be it by fomenting war or agitating for color-coded, plant-based revolutions, blessed and backed by the duopoly. While not as lethal, cultural trends and products exported can be toxic, too. They, moreover, displace and contaminate indigenous culture. To wit, Wokeism is made in America, is entirely toxic, and, sadly, suffers no supply-chain disruptions in its spread abroad. In case you’re not awake to it, woke is the current state-of-being in America. In particular, to be woke in America is to be anti-white and to be anti-white...

Biden and his team obviously don’t have time to address inflation, the border, or crime. They are too busy lying about “voting rights” laws that open the door to massive cheating, spreading lies about systemic racism, targeting parents and seeking to destroy their political opponents. President Trump’s policies basically consisted of smaller government, fewer regulations, lower taxes, and energy independence. The results of Trump’s policies were good economic growth, reasonable energy prices, wages rising, especially for those at the bottom, and record low unemployment rates for all races and people at all education levels. Energy independence gave all people affordable...

Pfizer CEO admits its vaccine has hit a brick wall with Omicron and that booster only provides "reasonable protection" against hospitalization and death. ***************************************************************** COVID-19 vaccines allow breakthrough infections. Their duration "appears to be limited." On top of that, wealthy countries caused harm by bidding up vaccine prices to hoard the "limited supply" available last year. These are not criticisms from a purported purveyor of COVID misinformation. They came from the biggest private funder of global health research. Bill Gates, whom the National Institutes of Health called a "superhero" for his eponymous foundation's lavish health spending, frowned on the results...

In a report just released, the National Academy of Sciences takes America to task for being the world’s biggest contributor of the plastic refuse that finds its way into to the oceans. But the claim needs closer examination. Credible prior reporting has estimated, on a country-by-country basis, the seaward flux of packaging materials: plastic bottles, bags, eating and drinking utensils, and sundry other consumer items afloat on ocean currents. Study outcomes may vary and yield somewhat divergent results, accountable from differing methodologies reliant on the modeling assumptions used, but their overall agreement is consistent. Neither cited study supports NAS’s contention...

What exactly would you say you do here? It’s the classic line from the film Office Space. That line should be directed at Joe Biden because the man is just a waste of space at this point. The only successful part of his trip to the Hill was that he didn’t trip going up the steps. Biden made one last-ditch effort to get support to tweak the filibuster rules to ram through the Democrat’s shoddy elections bill. It’s not about the integrity of our elections. The bill federalizes the races and makes sure the tilt is always to the Left....

The COVID enforcers have made a crucial tactical error. There are moments in battle when your opponent commits a tactical error, and if you see it, seize upon it, and exploit it, victory follows. The COVID-1984 authoritarians have become so enamored with their own power that they are blindly committing such an error today. For two years now, they have engaged in a classic "divide and conquer" military strategy aimed at weakening any popular revolts against their policies by pitting segments of society against each other. We must shut down the economy and go into two weeks of lockdowns, or...

CAR TROUBLE A blonde pushes her BMW into a gas station. She tells the mechanic it died. After he works on it for a few minutes, it is idling smoothly. She says, “What's the story?” He replies, “Just crap in the carburetor.” She asks, “How often do I have to do that?” SPEEDING TICKET A police officer stops a blonde for speeding and asks her very nicely if he could see her driver’s license. She replied in a huff, “I wish you guys would get your act together! Just yesterday they took my license away and now today you expect...

<p>MELBOURNE — Novak Djokovic faces deportation again after the Australian government revoked his visa for a second time.

Due to the interest in Pelosi's trading after her NVDA, AAPL, and AMZN trades after releasing options, we show all her trades in one place. In the House and the Senate reports, we showed that both parties, no matter their allegiance, seem to be trading and often legislating to benefit their own positions. Pelosi.....or rather her spouse.....seems no different. Here are one year returns for Pelosi at the current date, in her stocks and options positions. So far, Pelosi's family has done very well trading over the last year. Her one year returns for her stocks is 45.59%, and her...

Not to be deterred by such pesky inconveniences as a Supreme Court decision, immediately after the high court ruled the vaccine mandate was unconstitutional federal overreach – the White House told employers to enforce the vaccine mandate anyway. White House Spokesperson Jennifer Psaki said the Biden administration would “not be deterred” by the Supreme Court decision, and all employers should immediately continue to “initiate vaccination requirements.” WATCH: VIDEO AT LINK.................

WASHINGTON, Monday, Jan. 13. Washington was never more astounded than it was to-day, by the announcement that Secretary CAMERON had retired from the War Department. The thing was wholly unexpected, and no man was more surprised than Mr. CAMERON himself. It seems that the change made is wholly the work of the President. The first agitation of the subject in the President's mind occurred last Thursday. Yesterday he had formed his conclusion, and addressed a note to Mr. CAMERON informing him of it. This note was received by Mr. CAMERON last night, and was the first Intimation he had that...

How do you explain why an ultra-experienced politician makes a major speech on the behalf of a legislative goal that is both doomed to fail and unpopular with voters? Especially when his speech is boycotted by the bill's chief backers and consists of one big lie after another? resident Joe Biden's speech in Atlanta on Tuesday raised these questions, although most of the media are unlikely to ask them. The speech purported to rally support for the Democrats' legislation to impose federal standards on voting in all 50 states -- legislation that has no chance of passing. It doesn't even...

A federal grand jury indicted Baltimore's top prosecutor Thursday on charges of perjury and making false mortgage applications in the purchase of two Florida vacation homes. The four-count indictment alleges that Baltimore State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby, 41, lied about meeting qualifications for coronavirus-related distributions from a city retirement plan in 2020. Federal prosecutors also allege that the Democratic prosecutor lied on 2020 application forms for mortgages to purchase a home in Kissimmee and a condominium in Long Boat Key. It alleges that Mosby falsely certified that she experienced adverse financial hardships because of the coronavirus, but actually received her nearly...

The Biden administration laid out an ambitious plan Wednesday for government-funded wind farms along the east coast, which it said would sustain millions of Americans’ energy needs. Multiple federal agencies are planning to collaborate on the project, which will be completed by 2030, Interior Department Secretary Deb Haaland said during a renewable energy conference in Boston on Wednesday. Overall, at least 30 gigawatts will be produced by offshore wind farms by decade’s end. “The Interior Department is laying out an ambitious roadmap as we advance the Administration’s plans to confront climate change, create good-paying jobs, and accelerate the nation’s transition...
