President Biden previously had said that it was irresponsible for former President Trump to be in possession of secret documents at Mar-a-Lago. Now he has been discovered to be in possession of such documents at his former think-tank location for the University of Pennsylvania at his D.C. office. Don't worry, as the press friends are already trying to distinguish this finding as less critical. But they fail to note that he had the most sensitive compartmented information. But they say none were nuclear secrets. Wow, I am relieved. These were uncovered in November but mentioned only now, when A.G. Merrick...

VIDEOThe injured knee of Special Counsel Jack Smith must be throbbing painfully today due to the breaking news that Joe Biden carelessly left his classified Vice-Presidential documents in an unsecure location. Yeah, good luck trying to prosecute President Donald Trump for securely storing DECLASSIFIED documents at Mar-a-Lago. All poor Jack Smith is left with is trying to charge President Trump for insurrection based on the January 6 Committee "STAR WITNESS" whose testimony turned out to be nothing by second hand hearsay contradicted by the first hand accounts of others.

President Joe Biden refused to answer questions Monday evening about a report on classified material from his time as vice president that was allegedly discovered at a Biden think tank. CBS News reported that the approximately 10 classified documents from when Biden served as vice president were found at the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement in Washington, D.C. Attorney General Merrick Garland responded to the discovery, which was made in November, by assigning U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois John Lausch, a Trump appointee, to review the classified material and help determine next steps. Biden...

The NFIB Small Business Optimism Index is plunging and just fell below 90. The index was above 100 before the Wuhan virus outbreak in 2020, but has only been at 100 or above for only two months under Biden. And the trend is definitely looking bleak as The Federal Reserve fights inflation with M2 Money growth having collapsed to 0% YoY growth. And the Baltic Dry shipping index is falling with M2 Money growth YoY. I wonder what Fed Chair Jerome Powell is thinking?

COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — The director of the World Health Organization’s Europe office said Tuesday that the agency sees “no immediate threat” for the European region from a COVID-19 outbreak in China, but more information is needed. China is battling a nationwide outbreak of the coronavirus after abruptly easing restrictions. Hans Kluge said that, based on the information WHO had received from china, there was no threat, but more detailed and regular information was required from China to monitor the evolving situation. “We cannot be complacent,” he added. “We do acknowledge that a number of countries, based on the precautionary...

NATIONAL OYSTERS ROCKEFELLER DAY National Oysters Rockefeller Day on January 10th recognizes a dish so rich there was only one man’s name this dish could bear at the time. At least, that’s the story according to the chef who so masterfully created famous recipes in the French Quarter. #NationalOystersRockefellerDay In 1889 in the renowned kitchen of Antoine’s, Jules Alciatore developed a recipe for baked oysters on the half shell with sauce and bread crumbs that would earn the name Oysters Rockefeller. A dish so rich Alciatore himself admitted, “…I know of no other name rich enough for their richness.” While...

The ex-Virginia Tech soccer player who was penalized over her refusal to kneel during a 2020 Black Lives Matter protest will reportedly be awarded a $100,000 settlement. What's the background? Kiersten Hening claimed that she had lost her starting position on Virginia Tech's Hokies women's soccer team after she elected not to take part in a so-called pre-game unity ceremony on Sept. 12, 2020, in support of the scandal-plagued BLM movement. She indicated that her refusal was met by a "campaign of abuse and retaliation" launched by Hokies coach Charles "Chugger" Adair. Hening had been a midfielder/defender for the team...

The epicenter of the magnitude 7.6 temblor was in the Banda Sea, nearest the Tanimbar islands in Maluku province that have about 127,000 residents, according to 2021 data. Tremors were felt in several regions, including Papua and East Nusa Tenggara provinces, as well as in northern Australia. Indonesia’s Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency issued a tsunami warning that was lifted three hours later. The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake’s epicenter was at a depth of 65 miles not far from Australia’s northern tip. Deeper quakes tend to cause less surface damage than shallow shaking but are more widely felt....

A federal agency is considering a ban on gas stoves, a source of indoor pollution linked to childhood asthma. In an interview with Bloomberg, a US Consumer Product Safety commissioner said gas stove usage is a “hidden hazard.”“Any option is on the table. Products that can’t be made safe can be banned,” agency commissioner Richard Trumka Jr. told Bloomberg. The report said the agency plans “to take action” to address the indoor pollution caused by stoves.

Members of the Arizona Legislature and the Arizona Freedom Caucus turned their backs on Corrupt Katie Hobbs, walked out of her yearly State of the State address Monday, and slammed her in a new statement for the “election riddled with violations” and her embrace of “the left’s extreme, woke plan.” They also criticized her “preference to illegally legislate via executive order” and her “willingness to exploit the levers of power in our state.” State Senator Jake Hoffman said that Corrupt Katie Hobbs’ far-left, woke plan “elevates her actions to tyrannical.” Hobbs was nowhere to be found after her speech, likely...

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Days after the start of his second term, California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Tuesday will announce his plan to cover a multi-billion dollar budget deficit in what could signal the end of a decade’s worth of economic growth in the nation’s most populous state. Newsom, a Democrat, has been warning of a potential budget shortfall for more than a year, and the Legislative Analyst’s Office said last in November the shortfall could be around $25 billion. Dealing with a deficit will be a change of pace for the state, where spending has more than doubled in...

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said Democrats “overplayed their hand” in how they criticized former President Donald Trump for keeping classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago Florida resort in light of a report that sensitive records were found at a DC institute where President Biden once had an office. “I just think it goes to prove what they tried to do to President Trump overplayed their hand on that,” McCarthy told reporters on Monday after the news broke about the documents discovered at the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement. “They’ve been around even longer,” McCarthy said, referring to Biden’s...

Several classified documents from President Joe Biden’s time as vice president were discovered last fall in a private office, Biden’s attorneys acknowledged Monday. Attorney General Merrick Garland has asked the US attorney in Chicago to investigate the matter, a source familiar with the matter tells CNN, and congressional Republicans are also taking notice. Biden’s lawyers say they found the government materials in November while closing out a Washington, DC-based office – the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement – that Biden used as part of his relationship with the University of Pennsylvania, where he was an honorary professor...

Documents marked classified from Joe Biden’s time as vice president were reportedly found in a private office, but there won’t be an FBI raid. There are plenty of reasons why 4 in 5 Americans see a two-tiered justice system. On Monday, federal officials gave the public another textbook example. Attorney General Merrick Garland ordered the U.S. attorney in Chicago to investigate nearly a dozen documents marked classified from President Joe Biden’s time as vice president found at a private office, according to CBS News. The documents, supposedly marked top secret, were found buried at a space Biden used when he...

Donald Trump has led the chorus of condemnation after it emerged that classified documents had been...

Half of the likely voters in the United States said they disapprove of the Democrat-led $1.7 trillion, 4,155-page omnibus spending bill that was rammed through Congress last month to fund the government. At the same time, most agree it is a “disaster” for America. A Rasmussen Reports poll found half (50 percent) of the respondents disapprove of the $1.7 trillion, 4,155-page omnibus spending bill passed by Congress last month that was signed into law shortly after. Only 45 percent of the likely voters said they approved of the massive spending package. As Breitbart News reported, 18 Republican senators voted with...

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Federal Reserve has only a limited role to play in combating climate change, Chair Jerome Powell said Tuesday, a stance that puts him at odds with environmental activists who have pushed central banks worldwide to take steps to restrict lending to energy companies. “Without explicit congressional legislation, it would be inappropriate for us to use our monetary policy or supervisory tools to promote a greener economy or to achieve other climate-based goals,” Powell said in prepared remarks to be delivered during a panel discussion in Stockholm hosted by Sweden’s central bank. “We are not, and will...

CSIS developed a wargame for a Chinese amphibious invasion of Taiwan and ran it 24 times. In most scenarios, the United States/Taiwan/Japan defeated a conventional amphibious invasion by China and maintained an autonomous Taiwan. However, this defense came at high cost. The United States and its allies lost dozens of ships, hundreds of aircraft, and tens of thousands of servicemembers. Taiwan saw its economy devastated. Further, the high losses damaged the U.S. global position for many years. China also lost heavily, and failure to occupy Taiwan might destabilize Chinese Communist Party rule. Victory is therefore not enough. The United States...
