Does Joe Biden have any idea what trouble his presidency is in? Does he know how catastrophic his approval ratings are? Does he get it that Americans are not buying his "agenda," that they are fed up with huge spending bills that have pumped too much money into the economy, sidelined workers and driven up prices? That they are really worried about soaring crime and the 2 million people that entered the country illegally last year? That only 29% of Americans think we’re heading in the right direction? It sure didn’t see that way. Anyone hoping that Joe Biden would...

OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — Washington state is expanding its program to distribute free COVID-19 tests throughout the state. The Seattle Times reported that officials with the state Department of Health said that starting Wednesday, sayyescovidhometest.org — the site that allows people to order free tests to be delivered to their homes — will allow up to two orders per household every month while supplies last. When the state Department of Health launched the site in January, each household could only order one kit, which contains up to five tests, due to limited supply. The state quickly ran out of tests...

Tucker Carlson appeared to take a swipe at a fellow Fox News reporter Jennifer Griffin who has been “fact checking” the pundits on her network during the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. As he introduced Colonel Doug Macgregor, who was recently fact checked by Griffin, Carlson swiped at “so-called reporters you see on television” who act “secretly as a flack for Lloyd Austin at the Pentagon.” It came after the host warned that a war with Russia “would be a legitimate disaster no matter what the outcome would be.” And, he cautioned his viewers, to “be very wary of what...

Congress needs to expedite approval and delivery of a new significant package of military aid to Ukraine. We are both employees of or advisors to the Global Special Operations Force Foundation, the professional association for special operations, and we understand that we can’t wait until the middle of March for the United States to send aid. Congress has an opportunity to quickly craft a proposal to send to the president this week. Time is of the essence. The battle for freedom and democracy in Ukraine is happening now and at a critical stage. This is the most consequential war since...

The video that played during the hearing today was heartbreaking. It takes a special kind of evil to abuse disabled seniors. This is today’s Democrat Party.

On Tuesday morning the Wisconsin Assembly Committee on Campaigns and Elections held an informational hearing on the Gableman 2020 Election Report featuring invited speakers Special Counsel and Former Supreme Court Justice Michael Gableman and Attorney Eric Kaardal. During his presentation, Justice Gableman played video of several victims of elderly abuse and voter theft.

Justice Gableman disclosed during the hearing that the nursing homes in the Zuckerberg-funded cities had...

CHICAGO (AP) — Michael Madigan, the former speaker of the Illinois House and for decades one of the nation’s most powerful legislators, was charged with racketeering and bribery Wednesday, becoming the most prominent politician swept up in a federal investigation of entrenched government corruption in the state. Madigan, 79, is charged in the 22-count indictment with racketeering conspiracy, using interstate facilities in aid of bribery, wire fraud and attempted extortion. Madigan, who resigned from the Legislature a year ago, was the longest-serving state House speaker in modern U.S. history and was nicknamed the “Velvet Hammer” for his insistence on strict...

'This is genocide': Rep. Spartz delivers speech as Russia wages war on Ukraine Rep. Spartz is a Republican Rep. for Indianas 5th district. She was born in the Ukraine. "The Ukrainian people do not want to live under socialism, communism" Maybe we can trade AOC and democrats for the Ukrainian people. The Ukrainians will be free and democrats will get to live in their utopia.

If the U.S. yield curve inverts in 2022, it may signal that a recession is coming and that can mean poor returns for stocks. Currently, the U.S. yield curve still has an upward slope to it, but it is flattening in places, largely because government bond yields between 3 months and 5 years out have risen meaningfully, while the yield on the 10 year and longer durations have risen at a slower rate. This is, in part, because many see the Fed raising rates in 2022. The result is a generally flatter yield curve, which could mean that inversion is...

Sympathy for the outnumbered and outgunned defenders of Kyiv has led to the exaggeration of Russian setbacks, misunderstanding of Russian strategy, and even baseless claims from amateur psychoanalysts that Putin has lost his mind. A more sober analysis shows that Russia may have sought a knockout blow, but always had well-laid plans for follow-on assaults if its initial moves proved insufficient.

As the West widely condemns Russia for what it deems is an unprovoked invasion of Ukraine, Russia is planning to force schoolchildren to watch a broadcast about the government's justification for the Ukrainian invasion. Russia's Ministry of Education said in a notice on Wednesday that schoolchildren will be forced to watch a broadcast on March 3 about the "necessity" of a "liberation mission" in Ukraine. The notice said that children will be forced to learn about why Russia believes NATO seemingly poses a danger, and why Russia felt like it needed to intervene in eastern Ukraine's Donbas region. According to...

After we saw Bryce Harper make overtures to a team in Japan, Gallo posted images of his real (if not tongue-in-cheek) LinkedIn profile as hope continues to wane that MLB players and owners will reach a new collective bargaining agreement that prevents missed games this season. SNIP Somewhat amusingly, Gallo listed his “skills” as striking out, hitting into the shift and getting dressed weird. SNIP “I think most hitters are pretty adamant on the shift, that they have to do something with it,” Gallo said. “I don’t really see many hitters going, ‘The shift is pretty awesome, man. They need...

Putin has already demonstrated poor judgment by invading Ukraine believing his army would have the upper hand Like it or not America is at war with Vladimir Putin’s Russia. It doesn’t matter if the Kremlin tyrant is irrational, ill or crazy – the West faces a credible threat beyond the carnage in Ukraine. To stop Putin, we may be forced to return to the bad old Cold War days of mutually assured nuclear destruction. That policy served us well then and it remains valid today. resident Biden must find the gumption to be crystal clear with Putin and his generals....

CNBC host Joe Kernen embarrassed President Joe Biden’s environmentalist cheerleaders who fought to keep oil in the ground because of so-called “climate change” while blaming former President Donald Trump for high gas prices. It’s as if leftists want to have their cake and eat it too.
