We have to be honest with each other, and ourselves: Whoever Joe Biden nominates to replace retiring Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer is probably going to be confirmed. Unless they are a secret serial killer who confesses during their confirmation hearing, or has a “I hate the USA!” neck tattoo, Democrats have the votes to put them on the court. When the conclusion is foregone, strategy matters even more than usual – how Republicans go about this process can and will have an impact in what matters even more: the 2022 elections. That’s why I suggest they simply let it...

Arguably the USSR crumbled because everybody was lying to everybody else, so that nothing could be believed, including (especially) economic transactions. With the Biden Administration, the US has entered this same territory. Anyone paying attention can see that the occupant of the White House lapses into dementia on a regular and accelerating basis. In moments of crisis, he is quietly sent out to have some ice cream and go shopping while the hidden hands that make the real decisions (and make them badly) take over. The propaganda efforts, a joint project of the media and the progressives in control of...

I have distinct and incredibly fond memories of eating frozen pizza as a kid. It was generally an "every now and then treat." And then, WHAM. College happened, and suddenly frozen pizza went from "cute tradition" to "literal lifestyle." I know I'm not the only one here. And the number of brands out there?! Staggering. Now that I'm a grown adult who actually cooks for a living, I'm usually too busy cooking up something not pizza-related...but TBH, I live for a frozen pizza every now and then. That said, the number of choices out there is overwhelming. Have I ever...

It's not just Justin Trudeau who's running away from a peaceful protest. Other Canadian leaders are doing so as well. For the past several days, the world’s longest convoy, made up of truckers, has been slowly traveling across Canada from Vancouver east to Ottawa, the country’s capital city. They are protesting a new Canadian policy that mandates that truckers must be vaccinated to cross into Canada, even if they are Canadian citizens. In response to this peaceful protest, Justin Trudeau has run away and hidden, while in Nova Scotia, the political class has already lined up the penalities for any...

Few exist in our nation who are better able -- and inexplicably willing -- than Keith Olbermann to afford us a portal through which we may view the mindset of your average left-wing digressive on the topic of what is necessary to heal America’s present cultural divide. Last week, Olbermann publicly condemned Biden -- and even called for his resignation -- due to his administration’s failure over the last year to defend the country from what he called -- by way of incredible hyperbole -- the “terrorists” who reside amongst us throughout this country, as exemplified by those who entered...

Turkey's Islamist government is set to complete a pair of construction projects in New York City that, among other uses, will house Turkish-American students and expose Muslim youth to Turkish propaganda and extremism. However, Turkey's indoctrination of Muslim youths isn't the only reason why New Yorkers should oppose the Islamist government's real estate plans. A notorious Turkish foundation involved in numerous cases of child abuse and rape will fund and administer one of these dormitories, exposing vulnerable immigrant youths to sexual exploitation. The U.S.-based Türken Foundation, an organization set up jointly by two other religious foundations, Ensar and Türgev, is...

This week the Democratic National Committee gave Justice Steven Breyer the hook, announcing that he was retiring before he’d firmly decided to do so. When he finally responded, he made clear his intention to remain on the bench until Biden’s nominee was confirmed, which at best likely will be sometime this summer if ever. As part of a deal he made with congressman and House majority whip Jim Clyburn when he was on the ropes in the primaries, President Biden promised to nominate to this significant position a black woman, and three candidates’ names -- a weak bench if the...

John Campopiano's alter ego has been a staple of the winter season since he first decided to don a yeti costume and go walking around in the snow seven years agoWe catch up with the Boston Yeti to talk about being a Boston winter legend, his children’s book plans and if we will see an official Yeti sidekick out there in the future. Boston residents know that a local legend makes their way out in the elements when the snow starts falling. And a blizzard means you might just see the beloved Boston Yeti on the prowl. John Campopiano, aka...

Encouraged by new attention in the cold-case investigation of a serial killer who terrorized San Francisco’s gay community in the 1970s, police will announce Thursday that it is doubling the reward to $200,000 for information leading to the capture and conviction of the notorious “Doodler.” The announcement will come 48 years to the day after the first victim was found lying at the water’s edge off Ocean Beach on Jan. 27, 1974. The San Francisco Police Department is also expected to confirm it is adding a probable sixth victim to the total of gay men whose bodies were found along...

The mostly peaceful protests at the Capitol Building on January 6, 2021, have resulted in the jailing of those many who entered the building. Despite committing no actual crimes beyond trespassing, they are being made an example of by the Deep State to dissuade patriots from acting in defiance of government corruption. President Donald Trump has been conspicuously quiet for months regarding these political prisoners. He has mentioned them on occasion, but hadn’t specifically promised action until Saturday night’s rally in Conroe, Texas. There, he promised to act on behalf of those who are still being persecuted, even pardoning them...

Penzey’s Spices, the Milwaukee company that held “Republicans are Racist” sale on Martin Luther King Weekend, is now dealing with a massive loss of customers and is begging for new business. “After starting the year with Republicans are Racists we’ve set a nice little Boycott Penzeys! surge in motion,” Penzey’s CEO Bill Penzey said in an email to customers Friday. “It certainly wasn’t unexpected, but if it’s within your means, you picking up a small stack of Gift Cards would help.” Penzey admitted that the “Republicans are Racists” email cost his business 40,000 subscribers, roughly three percent of the total....

A Canadian premier said Saturday the proof of vaccine requirement makes no sense and he will end it in the “not-too-distant future” in his province.Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe said in a statement that being vaccinated doesn’t prevent one from getting the virus and the vaccine mandate “makes no sense.”“I want to be clear on how I feel about vaccines. I am fully vaccinated with my booster shot. This did not prevent me from recently contracting COVID-19, but I believe it did keep me from becoming sick,” he said in a statement.COVID-19 is the disease caused by the CCP (Chinese Communist...

Democrats have tried everything they can think of to try to pressure Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) to go along with them, to do away with the filibuster and vote for Joe Biden’s Build Back Better bill. But Manchin stood firm, along with Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) and the effort went down to crushing defeat.If you listen to Democrats, they want people to think that Americans are on their side on the issue, and they think — somehow — they can do Manchin in with his constituents.But the bottom line is the truth of how Joe Manchin was greeted back in...

As a tour celebrating the 50th anniversary of his iconic 'American Pie' gets underway, singer-songwriter Don McLean reveals the deep 'yearning for something American' that he feels he's captured. New York-born Don McLean, the one-man cultural force behind "American Pie," "Vincent (Starry, Starry Night)," "And I Love You So," "Castles in the Air," and many other songs, albums, tours, and projects, told Fox News Digital in a revealing in-depth interview that he "was the right guy at the right time" for "American Pie." That song attained No. 1 on the Billboard charts after its release more than 50 years ago,...

It’s Jussieversary! That special time of year when we remember the man who took one of the biggest L’s in hoax history. Three years ago tomorrow, Jussie (pronounced “Juicy”) was ATTACKED (Narrator: He wasn’t) in the dead cold of night while getting a sandwich and some smokes. Every year, this date rolls around and we remember the man not just for the mistakes he made — and he has made a lot of mistakes — but for the memes he gave us. The other day I asked a few friends what they thought the funniest and most obvious mistake was....

Tom Brady has finally retired. The 44-year-old quarterback plans to retire from the NFL after a 22-year career, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter and Jeff Darlington. Brady had consistently said he planned to play through his age-45 season, but there were rumblings this could be his final playoff run before the Tampa Bay Buccaneers faced the Los Angeles Rams in the Divisional Round of the 2022 playoffs. The Rams’ 30-27 victory is the last game Brady will play in his career. Brady is now rebuking the report, and saying he hasn’t made his final decision yet.Tom Brady contacted @Buccaneers GM...

Update (1500ET): While in a normal world this would be beyond satire and ridicule, it is perhaps of no surprise whatsoever that the blame for instigation of the "Freedom Convoy" is already being placed on so-called 'Russian actors'..."...given Canada's support of Ukraine... I don't know it it's far-fetched to ask but there is concern that Russian actors could be continuing to fuel things as this protest grows... perhaps even instigating it..."A lot of strange coverage by the media on this thing but this one wins the prize.pic.twitter.com/bLauTjI9NG — Jim Burnett (@jamesfburnett) January 29, 2022As Brian Lilley writes at The Toronto...
