Accosted by criticism that his light work schedule as Pennsylvania's lieutenant governor might not be the best preparation for him to assume the duties of a US Senator, John Fetterman pointed out that "Congress only works about half the days of the year. And that so-called work is mostly just hanging around in case there is a bill to be voted on. Look, if a dope like Joe Biden could hack that job for nearly 30 years anyone in America should be considered qualified to handle that job." Fetterman also fended off contentions that his life story does not convey...

POINTS: President Joe Biden pardoned all those convicted on prior federal charges, or convicted in the District of Columbia, of simple marijuana possession. Biden called on governors to follow suit and pardon those convicted on similar state charges. He has also instructed Secretary of Health and Human Services Xavier Becerra and Attorney General Merrick Garland to begin reviewing how marijuana is classified under federal drug laws.

“In a unanimous decision, the Supreme Court of Delaware has ruled the state’s mail-in voting and same-day voter registration statutes unconstitutional,” Delaware Live reported. “Neither will be allowed in the Nov. 8 general election.” “The ruling, which came just one day after oral arguments, is a major defeat for Gov. John Carney and Delaware Democrats,” the ruling continued. “In an abbreviated order, the court said the vote-by-mail statute ‘impermissibly expands the categories of absentee voters identified in Article V, Section 4A of the Delaware Constitution’.” “As for the same-day registration statute, the court said it conflicts with Article V, Section...

Building guns straight from our dreams, the designers, and engineers at KelTec fascinate us once again with the recent release of the P50 5.7x28mm pistol. Centered around the FN P90 magazine, the P50 features everything you love (or hate) about KelTec. A lot of polymer, stamped metal, exposed screws, high-cap magazines, and loads of fun. The P50 comes standard with a hard plastic carrying case and two ProMag 50 round magazines. A nylon strap with quick detach swivel hardware is also included.

A third of the German Panzerhaubitze 2000 howitzers used by the Ukrainian army are already in need of maintenance and are to be sent for repair in Slovakia, German newspaper Spiegel reports, citing its own sources. According to the publication, from the very beginning, the Ukrainian military tried to fire special ammunition at too great a distance.

The Pennsylvania Senate race between Dr. Oz and John Fetterman has officially entered the Godwin’s Law phase as left wing media outlets engage in a bit of manipulative ‘journalism’. Jezebel was seemingly first to the scene with this hit job that states ‘Oz stood in front of one of Hitler’s cars’. That’s a bit of stretch. It appears Oz is actually speaking in front of the Lyon Air Museum’s Douglas DC-3 ‘Flagship Orange County’. Perhaps the greater deception, which was repeated across Twitter by other Democrat propagandist outfits, was the fact that the actual photo from the event does not...

When President Joe Biden spoke about the nuclear risk of "Armageddon" during a fundraiser this week in New York City, it was at the home of James and Kathryn Murdoch. The youngest son of billionaire Rupert Murdoch, James is an heir to his father's media fortune, including a trust that will control Fox News. We have not faced the prospect of Armageddon since Kennedy and the Cuban Missile Crisis," Biden told fundraiser attendees, making national headlines. Even before the Biden fundraiser, Murdoch and his wife had become a power couple in the Democratic Party and among left-wing circles. In the...

BERLIN (Reuters) -Attackers cut cables vital for the rail network in two places causing a near three-hour halt to all rail traffic in northern Germany on Saturday morning, in what authorities called an act of sabotage without identifying who might be responsible. The federal police has launched an investigation into the incident, Transport Minister Volker Wissing told a news conference. "It is clear that this was a targeted and malicious action," he said. The disruption immediately raised alarm bells after NATO and the European Union last month stressed the need to protect critical infrastructure after what they called acts of...

Democrats are napping peacefully through the US-Mexico “border” crisis they engineered. Perhaps these data will snap them from their slumber: The US Department of Homeland Security reports that the Mexican cartels’ income from smuggling illegal migrants into America has soared from $500 million in 2018 to $13 billion this year — up 2,500%. ... Border Patrol agents apprehended 951,568 illegal immigrants during President Donald Trump’s final 19 months in office. In Biden’s first 19 months, Border Patrol encountered a staggering 3,588,877 illegals — up a sickening 377%. ... Fentanyl killed some 71,000 Americans in 2021, up 23% versus 2020. For...

Another astonishing clip from the Cato Institute event today, this one from the influential Adam Posen, head of the Peterson Institute. He says a focus on domestic manufacturing is simply a “fetish for keeping white males with low education in the powerful positions they are in.”

This is the easiest column I've ever written. It's so simple to imagine what America would be like today if former President Donald Trump were still president. What a tragedy that we allowed a brain-dead, feeble, confused, old man with dementia and diapers, and his radical, anti-American, globalist, communist handlers to destroy the greatest country in world history – in only 22 months. Let's start with the obvious. How did this happen? There is evidence that suggests the 2020 election was stolen. That's how they removed Trump from office and installed a man who doesn't know who he is, where...

Polk County, Florida, Sheriff Grady Judd is telling residents of his county to protect their homes by shooting looters until they look “like grated cheese.” Grady told FOX News on Friday, “People have a right to be safe in their homes. They have a right for their property to be safe, even when part of their home may be torn away, and these looters, that’s unacceptable.” Grady went on to encourage Polk county residents to defend their property from looters and to make sure looters understand there could be a high price to pay for taking advantage of hurricane victims.

IRVINE, Calif. -- Electric truck and SUV maker Rivian Automotive said Friday it is recalling almost all the vehicles it has delivered to customers in order to tighten a loose fastener that could potentially affect drivers' ability to steer. The company, which was founded in 2009, said it is recalling about 13,000 vehicles because a fastener connecting the vehicles' front upper-control arm and steering knuckle may not be torqued enough.

So this week President Biden’s transmogerificism [my made-up word] extended all the way to Puerto Rico, where his tutorials in street-smartery from Corn Pop came in handy. Too bad for Biden that Gov. Ron DeSantis looked so much more natural behind the presidential podium than he did, and I’d hate to be the White House advance person who didn’t think through that visual.

For the 2022 midterm elections the control of the US Senate is the biggest battle between the Republicans and Democrats with the race centered on 4 Senate races where the Democrats need to win 3 of them and the Republicans need to win 2 of them to have control. These races are Georgia, Pennsylvania, Arizona, and Nevada. Not counting these 4 seats or any surprise upsets (i.e. someone whose odds are at least 3x as much as the other party's odds) the breakdown of the other 96 seats is 45 Dem, 2 Ind (both caucus with Dems), 49 Rep.

Another Conservative government minister has been sacked from his role in the government for allegedly groping a man, as the party continues to be plagued by sexual misconduct scandals. Conor Burns MP, a minister at the Department for International Trade, was fired from his government post by Prime Ministry Liz Truss on Friday over allegations of “serious misconduct” during the annual Conservative Party conference in Birmingham this week.
