Joni Ernst was clever on walking between the drops on MTP this morning. Buy she is not ruling out endorsing Trump if he is the nominee.... The hostages held in Gaza are innocent, they are held by terrorists in tunnels in Gaza, they are been tortured, they have been raped, and they have been denied medication... they were celebrating the Jewish holiday and were taken by these horrible terrorists... The 6 Americans held in Gaza need to be freed immediately, are our Americans, they are our brothers and sisters. If Trump pardons convicted on J6, she won't oppose that, that...

It’s the elephant in the room when you look at a map of Eurasia. Russia has 11% of the world’s land that is suitable for agriculture. China, with a vastly larger population, has only 7%. There are already numerous Chinese farmers in Russia. And then there is the matter of all those natural resources, in particular, timber, for those seemingly limitless forests. The documentary shows the modern machinery that Chinese firms are using to harvest all that timber.

Georgia State Senators introduced a bill to remove Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger from the State Election Board, and grant the board authority to investigate him and his office for election law violations.

Upward of 100,000 people took to the streets in Warsaw on Thursday, January 11, just hours after Poland’s top constitutional court prohibited the country’s new prime minister, Donald Tusk from arresting and prosecuting Poland’s central bank governor. These shocking developments come amid a move by the new Polish government to arrest opposition leaders – a scene that bears alarming resemblance to the tyrannical behavior of Polish communists government forty years ago when the country was under occupation by the Soviet Union’s Red Army. The drama began on January 9, when, in an action unprecedented in the post-Cold War democratic era,...

A predominantly plant-based or vegetarian diet is linked to 39% lower odds of COVID-19 infection, finds research. The findings prompt the researchers to suggest that a diet high in vegetables, legumes, and nuts, and low in dairy products and meat, may help to ward off the infection. Participants were surveyed on their usual eating patterns and food group frequency, as well as lifestyle and medical history, including vaccination against COVID-19. They were then divided into either omnivorous (424) or predominantly plant-based (278) dietary groups. The plant-based food group was further divided into flexitarians/semi-vegetarians who ate meat three or fewer times...

Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky will share a special stage with World Economic Forum (WEF) executive chairman and founder Klaus Schwab on Tuesday to make a guest appearance at the annual gathering of the globalist elites. Their discussion in the front of the invitation-only audience is titled “Achieving Security and Cooperation in a Fragmented World.”

This week’s cold snap across the U.S. will be one of “the most impressive Arctic outbreaks of this century,” one climate scientist says. After months of record-breaking warm temperatures, much of the U.S. is facing a harsh, fast-approaching blast of frigid air from the Arctic that could plunge wind chill factors below zero degrees Fahrenheit (–18 degrees Celsius)—all close on the heels of a serious winter storm dumping snow over the Midwest and Great Lakes this weekend. “It will be a very impressive—certainly one of the most impressive Arctic outbreaks of this century anyway,” says Judah Cohen, a climate scientist...

New Hampshire Republican Attorney General John Formella recently sent a cease-and-desist order to the Democratic National Committee, WBTS reported. Formella accused the DNC of making "false, deceptive, and misleading" comments regarding the state's presidential primary election. In the AG's order, he referred to a letter the DNC's Rules and Bylaws Committee sent to New Hampshire Democratic Party Chair Ray Buckley, instructing Democrats to "educate the public" that the state's election is "meaningless." DNC Rules and Bylaws Committee co-chairs Minyon Moore and James Roosevelt Jr. wrote in the letter, "The [New Hampshire Democratic Party] must take steps to educate the public...

Talk is heating up again about “Big Mike” Obama being the Democrats’ choice to replace Joey the Scapegoat when they finally pull the plug on his sham presidency. Arguments against that possibility always seem to focus on Michelle’s glaring lack of qualifications, but they miss the point that that IS the point – everyone will know that it’s all a charade to put Barack back in the White House (in person this time and not via his drooling avatar, Joe.) It also won’t hurt “her” chances among the Groomer generation of Dem voters that the Joan Rivers “curse” still casts...

A group of just over a dozen House Republicans helped bring the chamber to a screeching halt on Wednesday in yet another stand against leadership. Thirteen GOP lawmakers joined with all voting Democrats to help defeat a resolution that would have allowed consideration of a trio of measures that were scheduled for debate this week. Votes for the rest of the day got cancelled. “The House is essentially frozen again. The GOP leadership cannot bring up any bills that are not already noticed on the suspension calendar. and conservatives just killed leadership’s ability to bring up any bills under a...

Oregon officials contacted a family to let them know that their relative had been found dead from a drug overdose, but months later, they admitted they had made a mistake. On Sept. 11 the family of Tyler Chase was told that he had died and the body was cremated on Oct. 1. The Multnomah County Medical Examiner's Office issued a death certificate after identifying him. The family received the ashes of someone whom they believed was their relative. Three months later, on Dec. 19, officials told the family that they had made a mistake and that Chase was still alive....

Federal abuses of power outweigh the acts of those who breached the Capitol on January 6. The riot on January 6 at the Capitol had a lot of FBI informants involved. According to Steven D’Antuono, formerly in charge of the FBI’s Washington field office: The FBI had so many paid informants at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, that it lost track of the number and had to perform a later audit to determine exactly how many “Confidential Human Sources” run by different FBI field offices were present that day ... More recently, some reports indicate that there were at...

Democrats in the Washington State legislature began this year’s session by targeting gun rights by attempting to classify ammunition as a “privilege” to subject it to a tax. House Bill 2238, which is sponsored by Democratic State Reps My-Linh Thai and Liz Berry imposes an 11 percent sales and use tax on ammunition in Washington on top of sales, local, state, and federal taxes in an attempt to reduce "gun violence." Berry previously worked for former US Representative Gabby Giffords as her Legislative Director when the congresswoman was shot in 2011. Instead of having the right to purchase ammunition, Democrats...

The Republican Party May Be Trying to Throw the 2024 Election in Key States

The sons and daughters of Indians have for years had a positive knack for getting on in academia and the professions. These days, politics seems to be another field of human endeavor at which they are excelling.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom thinks the Constitution should be amended to accommodate the gun regulations he favors. But in the meantime, he is trying out a different strategy: If we ignore the Second Amendment, maybe it will go away. In 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the right to carry guns in public for self-defense, saying states could not require residents to demonstrate a "special need" before allowing them to exercise that right. Newsom responded to what he called a "very bad ruling" by backing a new law that makes carry permits easier to obtain but nearly impossible to use....

Donald Trump made history Saturday as he prepares to romp in Monday’s long-awaited Iowa Caucus. The final Iowa Caucus poll by the Des Moines Register shows Donald Trump at 48 percent, a whopping 28 percent higher that the nearest challenger. His lead represents the most lopsided advantage in the final pre-caucus poll in the history of the Register‘s iconic projection. The poll suggests Trump will make further history Monday. The current record for the biggest margin of victory by a Republican in the caucuses is Bob Dole’s 12-point win over Pat Robertson in 1988. “Our grassroots supporters have put us...

The “Chief Diversity Officer” at Johns Hopkins Medicine has already retracted, disavowed and apologized for a privilege “hit list” that scapegoated white people, heterosexuals, Christians, men, and others in a newsletter that went viral this week. The X account @EndWokeness on Wednesday drew attention to a “Diversity Word of the Month” article in the January 2024 issue of Monthly Diversity Digest from the school’s Diversity, Inclusion, and Health Equity (DEI) office, headed by Chief Diversity Officer Dr. Sherita H. Golden. “John Hopkins just sent out this hit list of people automatically guilty of ‘privilege’ whether they know it or not,”...
