MSNBC contributor Donny Deutsch on Wednesday issued a stark warning about the GOP taking back control of the House and Donald Trump getting re-elected to the White House. During a panel discussion on “Morning Joe” about the disconnect between the American elites and the average American, Deutsch said that if House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) takes back his House Majority Leader position and Trump wins the presidency, then “our democracy is over.”

Businessman Mike Gibbons is rising in early polls of Ohio’s crowded Republican Senate primary, and he is seeking to introduce himself to voters as the pro-Trump candidate in the race, according to a new advertisement campaign he will launch Tuesday. Former President Donald Trump has yet to make an endorsement in the race to succeed retiring GOP Sen. Rob Portman, but several Republican candidates are actively courting that endorsement in a race that has largely been driven by the candidates’ level of fealty to Trump. A pair of polls showed Gibbons making significant gains with voters in recent days. One...

9:18 AM PT -- A judge has granted Bob's family the temporary restraining order it requested to block the release of photos from the scene in his hotel room. Bob Saget's death is creating a mystery for many experts, who wonder how he suffered such a severe skull fracture ... and what exactly he hit -- but authorities are firm on what didn't happen, and they think the injury was caused by something connected to the bed. As we've reported, Bob died from a brain bleed after hitting his head on something. Sources with direct knowledge of the investigation tell...

Freedom Convoy donor Tammy Giuliani lost a lot more than $250 to the cause after getting doxxed by pro-Trudeau hackers. Her Ottawa restaurant, the popular Stella Luna Gelato Café, was forced to close on Tuesday following threats of violence.

Europe needs a bolder space policy, French President Emmanuel Macron declared Wednesday, warning that Europe’s sovereignty is at stake if it falls behind rival powers in a key field for technology, science and military competitiveness. Speaking at a meeting in Toulouse, France, Macron said recent events had shown how crucial it is to be able to monitor troop movements from orbit — a reference to satellite images showing Russia’s mass military deployment near Ukraine that raise fears of an imminent invasion. “There is no full power or autonomy without managing space,” Macron said. “Without (it) you can’t conquer new frontiers...

@ggreenwald Absolutely unbelievable: the excuse Twitter used to censor the pre-election Hunter Biden reporting was its policy on prohibiting use of "hacked" material. That was a lie: nothing was hacked. This [GiveSendGo] donor information was hacked, and Twitter is allowing full disclosure of all names.

There are few things as freeing as an emergency. There are also few things as dangerous as an emergency. For two years now, to varying degrees the people of the United States and Canada have been living under emergency rules. On Monday, in Ottawa, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau introduced a new state of national emergency, not because of COVID this time, but because of the supposed threat posed by truckers protesting COVID restrictions. In the 20th century freedom triumphed over both fascism and communism, in the 21th century the greatest threat to that freedom is not from such noxious ideologies,...

The Biden administration is asking a federal judge to keep a report about Georgia voting machines from being seen by the public in any form. The Biden administration is urging a federal judge not to issue any form of a report about potential flaws in the Dominion Voting Systems’ equipment used in Georgia, even though both sides in a court case over the machines want at least a version of the report to get out. U.S. District Judge Amy Totenberg is considering releasing a redacted version of a report from J. Alex Halderman, a University of Michigan computer science professor....

Can someone please explain the price for Diesel? About a week ago I filled up at a local station in Louisville, KY. The listed price on the outside board said $3.49 a gallon. While filling up I looked at the price on the pump. Shock. It was $3.79. I complained and they did give me the difference, but that time the price on the outside sign was bumped up to $3.79. Last Friday I was at my local station in Greeneville, TN. The price for regular gas was $3.09. The Diesel? $3.79. Seventy cents more for Diesel. I can only...

New method can pull rare earth elements from electronic waste and coal ash.. When a pulse of current goes through a tube containing coal ash, a flash of light indicates rapid heating. Rare earth elements then become much easier to extract.. As chemists scramble to find ways to reclaim valuable metals from industrial waste and discarded electronics, one team has found a solution that sounds a little like magic: Zap the trash with flashes of electric heat. Rare earth elements (REEs) present an environmental paradox. On one hand, these dozen or so metals, such as yttrium and neodymium, are vital...

The CDC on Wednesday casually admitted some of the Covid nose swabs ended up in a lab for genomic sequencing analysis. But don’t worry because only the virus will be used for the genomic sequencing analysis, the CDC said.

Over the last 30 years, the scientific community has been working to develop a synthetic alternative to bone grafts for repairing diseased or damaged bone. McGill University researchers used the Canadian Light Source (CLS) at the University of Saskatchewan to advance a novel method for growing synthetic bone tissue. The rapidly advancing field of bone tissue engineering is focused on growing bone cells in the lab on materials called scaffolds, then transferring these structures into a person's body to repair bone damage. Like the bone it mimics, scaffolds need an interconnected network of small and large pores that allow cells...

\ Researchers showed that high data rates can be achieved by using an array of solar cells as the detector in an underwater wireless optical communication system. Credit: Jing Xu, Zhejiang University ***************************************************************************************** Although solar cells are typically designed to turn light into power, researchers have shown that they can also be used to achieve underwater wireless optical communication with high data rates. The new approach—which used an array of series-connected solar cells as detectors—could offer a cost-effective, low-energy way to transmit data underwater. "There is a critical need for efficient underwater communication to meet the increasing demands of...

According to the Politico newspaper, US President Joe Biden claimed that Russia could allegedly attack Ukraine on February 16 Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has jokingly asked American and British media outlets to release a schedule of Russia’s "upcoming invasions" of Ukraine for the current year. "I’d like to request US and British disinformation: Bloomberg, The New York Times and The Sun media outlets to publish the schedule for our upcoming invasions for the year. I’d like to plan my vacation," the Russian diplomat said on her Telegram channel Wednesday. The West and Kiev have recently been echoing allegations...

Electing Joe Biden was a terrible, horrible, mistake. We all know it. President House Plant is so bad that Democrats have either quietly disappeared into the Witness Protection Program or are hiding in bunkers. Liberals were ecstatic to throw Trump out of office because of those mean tweets and his aggressive, bombastic behavior. Democrats were conditioned by the media 24/7 to loathe all things Trump but unfortunately their visceral hatred poisoned their own minds. Buyers remorse is now shrouding the entire country like a heavy, damp, dense, fog that rolled in from the sea. No one will admit that he/she...

Fox News host Maria Bartiromo suggested the Biden administration may have perpetrated a “ruse” through “hysteria” over Ukraine to take attention away from Hillary Clinton. VIDEO AT LINK........... Bartiromo invited Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) on “Mornings with Maria” to discuss whether the unsubstantiated claims from President Biden and his surrogates about the imminent danger of a Russian invasion of Ukraine were fabricated. “Was this a ruse? Was this whole thing an effort to take attention away from what Hillary Clinton did and what we know to be a complete hoax over this Russia investigation?” Bartiromo began her question, before implicating...
