The demands that Justice Thomas recuse himself from a case involving the January 6 incident because of his wife's activities are silly. Similar demands for recusal of a prominent member of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals because of his wife's related activities were dismissed out of hand, to the approval of the media, the legal establishment, and academia.

Ungar-Sargon told Hill.TV's "Rising" on Monday that Wallace's stance is inconsistent as other outlets, including Wallace's current employer CNN, have also been plagued by controversy. For Wallace to "leave Fox, which is the number one show viewed by Democrats, by the way, for CNN plagued by scandal, plagued by actual journalistic ethical violations to me, I just see this as not really worthy of respect," Ungar-Sargon said.

Former President Trump leads Joe Biden by 10 points in a hypothetical 2024 presidential election match-up in Nevada, according to a new poll. According to official tallies, Trump lost the state in 2020 and 2016. Democratic Presidential candidates have carried Nevada in every election since 2008 when Barrack Obama flipped the state blue. Prior to that, the state had gone for George W. Bush in 2000 and 2004. The state could soon flip back red, however, according to a new Blueprint Polling survey that was published last Friday. According to Blueprint, 44.1% of likely voters back Trump while Biden is...

Bruce Willis has been diagnosed with aphasia and will be stepping away from his decades-long career, his family announced Wednesday.

It typically occurs after a stroke or a head injury. “To Bruce’s amazing supporters, as a family we wanted to share that our beloved Bruce has been experiencing some health issues and has recently been diagnosed with aphasia, which is impacting his cognitive abilities,” the 67-year-old’s family wrote in a statement shared to each...

Russian hackers have been scanning the systems of energy companies and other critical infrastructure in the United States, and state-sponsored hacking by Russia presents a “current” threat to American national security, a top FBI official told lawmakers on Tuesday. “The threat from Russia in a criminal sense, in the nation state sense, is very, very real – and current,” said Bryan Vorndran, an assistant director in the FBI’s cyber division, during a hearing before a U.S. House of Representatives panel. In the weeks since Russia’s unprovoked attack against Ukraine, the White House and the Justice Department have been warning U.S....

Few things are more surprising to a church lady like myself than to find better sense about sex and gender coming from a foul-mouthed cable talk show than from our current crop of evangelical thought leaders. But such is the state of the world these days—the crude pagan speaks plain wisdom while the churchmen discourse in the inscrutable, hedging language of feminist accommodation. Bill Maher’s March 25 monologue on women’s reaction to Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky offered the kind of politically incorrect truth that certain progressive Christian ladies and the pastors who pander to them have been trying to paint...

@MarkDice All they wanted was the right to get married, they said RE: @realchrisrufo SCOOP: Disney diversity and inclusion manager Vivian Ware says the company has eliminated all mentions of "ladies," "gentlemen," "boys," and "girls" in its theme parks in order to create "that magical moment" for children who do not identify with traditional gender roles.

Say what you will about Germans, they have a distinct hate-hate relationship with hyperinflation, having been one of the very few “developed” nations to experience it in the not too distant past courtesy of Rudy von Havenstein’s application of “Modern Money Theory” to the Weimar Republic back in 1921 with less than stellar results. Well, Germany may soon enjoy double (and triple) digit price gains quite soon.When asked by Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung about the possibility of double-digit inflation rates, Volker Wieland, a member of the German government’s council of economic advisers said that “it can’t be ruled out, especially if...

Based upon interactions here on Free Republic and various other sources, this war is a war over resources: Oil, Natural Gas, Water, Aluminum... as well as strategic buffering and traditional tyrant terrorizing. --------------------------------------------------------------- https://freerepublic.com/focus/news/4050271/posts?page=119#119 To: gleeaikin Look at the Azov Natural Gas Preserves region, and then look at Russia’s Occupation Map.

“The spread between diesel and motor fuel is the widest it’s ever been in the data,” said Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics. “It’s $1 a gallon.. the average over the last few decades has been 30 to 40 cents. That gives you a sense of how out of balance it is ... By my calculation, one-tenth of the acceleration in inflation [over the past year] is due to the surge in diesel prices.” That contribution to inflation includes related impacts. “The farmer ploughing the field, getting the food to the store shelf: It’s the cost to FedEx and...

However, there is no need to panic; astronomers say the massive space rock will miss us by around 4.6 million miles (7.4 million kilometers). The asteroid, known as 2007 FF1, is between 360 feet and 656 feet (110 and 260 meters) in diameter, according to SpaceReference.com, a database that compiles information from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California and the International Astronomical Union. The rock 2007 FF1 is known as an Apollo-class asteroid, of which there are around 15,000, meaning that its orbit around the sun (which takes 684 days) crosses with Earth's orbit. The asteroid is classified as potentially...

While it is true that all nations selfishly act to expand their geopolitical influence and power following Adman Smith’s Invisible hand be it internationally as well as domestically against their own people – i.e. endless regulations and rising taxation, here we have a President who goes off script and is lost now in his own mind. Just two days ago, Blinken had his wrists slapped with a club warning that he was propelling the world into a catastrophic war that would end all time telling Ukrainians they can win and that the US was demanding Regime Change in Russia. Then...

CNN White House correspondent John Harwood was mocked on Wednesday for claiming there was "zero evidence" that President Biden is connected to his son’s alleged corruption.

The Federal Election Commission has fined the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign for lying about the funding of the infamous, and discredited, Russian “dossier” used in a smear attempt against Donald Trump weeks before he shocked the world with his 2016 presidential victory. The election agency said that Clinton and the DNC violated strict rules on describing expenditures of payments funneled to the opposition research firm Fusion GPS through their law firm.
