Something is very wrong with the supposedly right-of-center media outlets and commentators treating the Jan. 6 committee like something other than the appalling Stalinesque show-trial that it is. In particular, the Washington Examiner and National Review both ran embarrassing, delusional op-eds about the hearings this week. The Examiner even ran an editorial declaring, “Trump proven unfit for power again.” Why is Trump “unfit for power”? Because of former Trump White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson’s testimony on Tuesday. It was hailed by the corporate press as “explosive” and “damning,” featured on the front pages of the New York Times and the...

Is more realignment coming in college athletics? USC and UCLA are planning to leave the Pac-12 for the Big Ten, Jon Wilner of the San Jose Mercury News is reporting. According to Wilner, arguably the most plugged-in reporter on the Pac-12, the move could come to fruition as early as 2024 but “has not been finalized at the highest levels of power.” Minutes after the news from Wilner dropped, several other outlets reported that USC and UCLA are in negotiations to join the Big Ten. Big Ten presidents and athletic directors met Wednesday night to discuss adding USC and UCLA...

The Insufferable Arrogance of the Constantly Wrong The media, and the people who work in and around it, the Blue Checks™ of Twitter, have upped the ante over the past few years regarding how far they are willing to go to enforce various preferred narratives. Pick any major story of the past three years—e.g. Lab Leak, Jussie Smollett, Russiagate, Ukrainian Biolabs, Ivermectin, Hospitalizations From COVID v. With Covid, January 6th, ‘Transitory’ Inflation, and of course Hunter’s Laptop—and you will find absolutely hysterical narrative pushing up front followed by retractions, corrections, and outright denials as reality became undeniable. In the meanwhile,...

Dr. Paul discusses Biden's remarks at the NATO summit where he said high gas prices would remain for "as long as it takes" to defeat Russia. He says the public aren't buying it pointing to a recent survey where only 6% of respondents blamed Putin for high gas prices. I've transcribed some of it here: "Just think of the incidents where the propaganda was much more thorough and convincing to get the American people really riled up you know so quickly after World War Two that we had to send the kids off and many of them being killed you...

An American Airlines passenger who spent nearly four hours on hold with the airline's customer-service center grew so frustrated he drove 45 minutes to the airport to rebook his seats at the ticket counter. Brain Driver, a radio station manager, needed to rebook his flight home after a business trip to Denver ended early, The Wall Street Journal reported. He said he initially tried to switch his flight using the airline's mobile service and website but was unable to do so. He then called the airline's customer service center and was given a callback time of eight hours, according to...

A Florida judge has temporarily blocked a ban on abortions after 15 weeks that was set to begin Friday. Planned Parenthood, the American Civil Liberties Union and abortion providers filed suit to stymie the law, arguing that it violated the state’s constitution. Leon County Judge John C. Cooper handed down his ruling from the bench after two days of arguments and said he would issue a written injunction. State officials are expected to fight the decision. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed the 15-week abortion ban this past April, prior to the Supreme Court’s momentous reversal of Roe v. Wade last...

Your Excellency, after the psycho-pandemic, we now have the Russian-Ukrainian crisis. Are we in “phase two” of one single project, or can we now consider the Covid farce to be over and concern ourselves with the increase in energy prices?...The prohibition of treatment, the discrediting of the effectiveness of drugs that have been in use for decades, the decision to hospitalize the elderly who became sick in nursing homes and the imposition of an experimental gene treatment that has been demonstrated not only to be ineffective but also harmful and often fatal – all thisconfirms for us that the pandemic...

American drivers will have to endure high gas prices for “as long as it takes” for Ukraine to defeat Russia’s invasion, President Biden told reporters in Spain Thursday. At the conclusion of this week’s NATO summit in Madrid, the president was asked by New York Times reporter Jim Tankersley about the surging price of oil as a result of Western sanctions on Russia in response to its Feb. 24 assault.

Analysts from the Cook Political Report, who predict the probable outcome for U.S. House of Representatives races, updated their rating Tuesday on eight House races, showing six races moving in favor of the Republicans.The rating changes were made as inflation has continued to skyrocket, and President JoeBiden — who has caused many candidates to go back and forth on if they want his support — has seen a steady stream of low poll numbers.Most recently, his approval rating is at 32 percent, the lowest in his presidency — with a 57 percent disapproval — on the CIVIQS rolling job-approval average,...

Trump election lawyer John Eastman dropped his lawsuit seeking to block his phone records from the January 6 Committee after the FBI ambushed him and seized his phone. The January 6 Committee sent the feds after Trump lawyer John Eastman because he dared to take action against the Democrats and their massive election fraud operation in 2020. John Eastman said the FBI searched and seized his phone last week, according to a court filing. Eastman filed a federal lawsuit in New Mexico on Monday and asked a judge to order the feds to return his property and block the January...

WASHINGTON, D.C. - With Ketanji Brown Jackson set to take over Justice Stephen Breyer's seat on the Supreme Court today, aides have been hard at work changing all the restroom signs to "gender-neutral" so Jackson doesn't get confused when she has to use the restroom. "It's important to make accommodations for differently-abled non-biologists like KBJ," said SCOTUS Clerk Michael Qian. "We are excited that Ketanji will not only be here to represent women of color, but people of mental confusion as well." The clerks will also be hard at work striking all uses of the word "woman" from cases and...

Angeli Rose Gomez defied police during the May 24, 2022 shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, running into the school and rescuing her two sons. Uvalde cops have continued to harass her, Gomez told reporters, following her through town, driving past her home, parking nearby, and flashing their lights. The shooting resulted in 19 students and two teachers dead, and a high degree of outrage about local law enforcement’s response to the shooting, especially the inexcusable delay in entering the classroom to confront the shooter. Gomez has given multiple interviews during the past few weeks, describing how she...

The Supreme Court declined Thursday to take up a legal challenge brought by health care workers in New York who oppose the state’s vaccine mandate on religious grounds. Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, and Neil Gorsuch said the court should have taken the case. When the requirement was first imposed last August as a way to help prevent the spread of the latest Covid variant, it allowed exceptions based on medical reasons or religious objections. But the religious exemption was later removed. Gov. Kathy Hochul, who is Roman Catholic, said she was not aware of any “sanctioned religious objection from...

In striking down vast new authority that the Obama and Biden administrations had claimed for the Environmental Protection Agency , the Supreme Court stopped the expansion of, but did not roll back, the powers of bureaucracies to self-seize ever-greater power. The decision was a clear but limited victory for those wanting to honor the Constitution’s separation of powers and restrain governmental overreach. At issue, in terms of practical policy, was whether the EPA, when under left-wing political leadership, can force coal plants to choose (essentially) between reducing the amount of energy they produce for public use or spending billions of...

The growth rate of real gross domestic product (GDP) is a key indicator of economic activity, but the official estimate is released with a delay. Our GDPNow forecasting model provides a "nowcast" of the official estimate prior to its release by estimating GDP growth using a methodology similar to the one used by the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis. GDPNow is not an official forecast of the Atlanta Fed. Rather, it is best viewed as a running estimate of real GDP growth based on available economic data for the current measured quarter. There are no subjective adjustments made to GDPNow—the...

The Fed is raising interest rates aggressively in an attempt to tame raging inflation. But according to legendary investor Rick Rule — former president and CEO of investment fund Sprott U.S. Holdings — things may not go as planned for America’s central bank. “I think they’ll chicken out,” he told Stansberry Research earlier this month. “If we had a period of real interest rates it would certainly cure inflation, but it wouldn't cure inflation until it did amazing damage to various balance sheets.” This isn't the first time Rule has voiced concern about the economy’s ability to handle substantially higher...

It’s the last day of Q2, 22. Let’s see how Biden has faired according to Rasmussen’s approval index throughout his time in residence. The approval index is the difference of strongly approve and strongly disapproved. Rasmussen polls every non holiday weekday. They use a three day moving average. Historically: The debut for Biden’s approval index was January 22, 2021 at -2. That’s for a resident that was just elected with more votes (cough) than any other President. American hearts were filled with love on the Friday prior and Monday following St. Valentine’s Day when Biden had an approval index of...

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg on Thursday will launch a $1 billion pilot plan to address what he sees as cities and neighborhoods racially segregated or divided by roads. Buttigieg has previously declared “there is racism physically built” into U.S. infrastructure, promising to address it soon after taking office. As Breitbart News reported, he argued that some highways and bridges across several cities were designed to divide communities by race. “Well if you’re in Washington, I’m told that the history of that highway is one that was built at the expense of communities of color in the D.C. area,” he said....
