Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) was reprimanded by Rep. Brad Wenstrup (R-Ohio), the chair of the House Oversight and Accountability Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, for refusing to recognize Anthony Fauci as a doctor while questioning him. Fauci, who became the face of the administration’s COVID-19 response while serving as head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, testified before the GOP-led committee on Monday for the first time since retiring. During Greene’s turn to question him, the Georgia Republican refused to call Fauci “doctor,” and instead referred to him as “Mr. Fauci.” “Do you think that’s...

emocrat Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) followed the strategy of his colleagues and the establishment media in touting former President Donald Trump as a “convicted felon,” slyly making the mention during Dr. Anthony Fauci’s testimony before the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic on Monday. Raskin defended Fauci at the beginning of the hearing, asking Fauci if he has spent his entire life “trying to determine the causes of infectious diseases” and stop them from affecting the American people. “Yes, I have,” Fauci responded. “Well, Dr. Fauci. I want to join my colleague from Florida and apologize that some of our...

Aslow-motion collapse in the offshore wind industry continues to grow as sticky inflation and supply chain challenges force developers to delay or cancel major projects. In particular, progress towards the Biden administration’s goal of building large amounts of floating wind off the northeastern US coast is just about stalled. Shell, which invested in a series of offshore wind projects in recent years, including offshore the northeastern United States, announced last week it would lay off much of its offshore wind business staff as the oil giant advances its program of refocusing on its core oil and gas business. “We are...

Nigel Farage confirms he'll stand in the election for Clacton, Essex. "I have decided, I've changed my mind, it's allowed you know," he says. ... Farage has confirmed that he's coming back as leader of Reform UK - not just for this election campaign, he says, but for the next five years. He says the aim is to get many millions of votes - more than UKIP in 2015. How many seats they win will be another matter, he adds, but they are not just appealing to Tory voters, but Labour voters and to those who intend not to vote...

Fake news reported it as a riot and pitched battle with police and football hooligans. No such thing. Video from the rally shows peaceful, patriotic love fest. They even cleaned up after themselves. Procession to Parliament Square, Union Jacks and Saint George flags on display. Coverage reminds me of RSBN pre-rally commentary.

The effectiveness of coronavirus vaccines — as they did not prevent transmission of the coronavirus, as originally pitched — is a “complicated issue,” Dr. Anthony Fauci said during a line of questioning before the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic on Monday.Chairman Brad Wenstrup (R-OH) asked Fauci about the effectiveness — or lack thereof — of the coronavirus vaccines, noting that they “did not stop transmission of the virus.”

John Boehner, the conservative nemesis turned lobbyist ousted from the speakership in 2015 for pushing Obama administration priorities, has reportedly emerged as a “quiet mentor” to Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA). Boehner — “an establishment Republican who was speaker a decade ago chronologically, but an eon ago in the GOP’s radical evolution — has become a surprising tutor” to Johnson, Axios reported Monday. The report comes days after Boehner headlined a fundraiser in his native Ohio on May 30 for Johnson’s PAC. In reporting on the upcoming fundraiser, Punchbowl News noted, “If you’ve listened to Speaker Mike Johnson recently, there is...

It's not just Trump they're after. They're also going after the Supreme Court justices. Recent revelations that Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito's wife flew an inverted American flag at their home three-years ago during the Jan. 6 event at the U.S. Capitol has resulted in a call by several prominent Democrat politicians for Alito to recuse himself from the Donald Trump’s Jan. 6 presidential immunity appeals case currently before the Court. Leading this effort is, “Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) and Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.).” Similar calls by the same people have been demanded of Justice Clarence Thomas...

Celebrities with dual citizenship include Emily Blunt with the U.K., Natalie Portman with Israel, Jim Carrey with Canada, and Nicole Kidman with Australia. In Congress, a representative must be a U.S. citizen for the prior seven years, while a senator must be a citizen for the past nine. However, the U.S. allows a citizen to obtain dual citizenship with another nation. Indeed, some prominent Congress members are (or have been) dual citizens... The exact number of U.S. dual citizens is unknown, because the government does not officially track it. The Dual Loyalty Disclosure Act would mandate that political candidates for...

The Hippopotamus, or "water horse," as the Greeks called it, is the third-largest land mammal in the world. They're kind of cute and kind of funny-looking, and they use that cuteness to hide just how murderous they can be. Seeing as the animal weighs between 3,000-9,000 pounds on average, according to Live Science, and can move about in the water better than most other land mammals (though they can't swim), it's easy to see why you should be absolutely terrified of this hungry-hungry animal.

WOKE ALERT!!!! In one of the most ridiculous WOKE moves of all time, makers of the hit children's cartoon Bluey have COMPLETELY RUINED the show by trying to claim that the main character - a BLUE dog - is actually a GIRL. As if that's not enough, these WOKE ACTIVISTS are saying that Bluey was, in fact, a GIRL THE WHOLE TIME. It's disgusting. Suddenly telling fans that that the BLUE dog is FEMALE isn't enough for these nutjobs. They want to rewrite history and tell us that the obviously blue dog was female FROM BIRTH. Do they think...

The director-general of the World Health Organization (WHO), Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, declared “it’s time to be more aggressive in pushing back on anti-vaxxers.” During a talk titled “Celebrating 50 years of immunization progress,” Ghebreyesus said: “You know the serious challenge that’s posed by anti-vaxxers, and I think we need to strategize to really push back.” “I think it’s time to be more aggressive in pushing back on anti-vaxxers,” he stated. “I think they used COVID as an opportunity, and you know all the havoc they are creating.”

President Biden is wishing Jill Biden a happy birthday, dubbing the first lady the “rock” of their family. The community college professor and wife of the commander in chief marked her 73rd birthday Monday. In a message posted on social platform X, the president wrote: “Happy birthday to the love of my life, the life of my love, and the rock of our family.” “I love you, Jilly,” he said. In a separate post on his White House account, Biden said he was “so proud to be Jill Biden’s husband.” But the first lady kicked off her birthday in a...

Colorado Gov. Jared Polis (D) signed a bill Friday setting up a voting program for inmates held in county jails, a first-of-its-kind effort expanding the ability to vote to those in local custody. The law requires counties to designate an employee to coordinate voting access for those in custody, including at least one day of in-person voting. People convicted of felonies are not eligible to vote in Colorado, though those who were convicted of a misdemeanor or are awaiting trial are eligible.

In response to Americans’ outcry over the political prosecutions of Donald Trump and a Manhattan jury convicting the former president on 34 felony counts, President Joe Biden declared, “It’s irresponsible for anyone to say this was rigged, just because they don’t like the...”Biden and those seeking to ensure his re-election have their hands all over Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s prosecution of the former president. A lead prosecutor for Bragg during the trial was Matthew Colangelo. In December 2022, Colangelo left the Biden Department of Justice to “jump start” the criminal case against Trump. Biden had previously named Colangelo his...

Hunter Biden arrived at J. Caleb Boggs federal courthouse in Wilmington, Delaware for the first day of jury selection in his federal firearms case on Monday morning. Dr. Jill, clad in a purple suit, joined Hunter Biden at the courthouse Monday morning while Joe Biden was across town in Wilmington. This was just days after Joe Biden secretly met with the DOJ’s star witness Hallie Biden. “Jill and I love our son and we are so proud of the man he is today,” Joe Biden said in a statement.

I expressed our commitment to advancing the values and interests of both our nations to the benefit of our peoples,” Biden said in a statement. Sheinbaum, a climate scientist and former Mexico City mayor, is the first woman and the first Jewish person ever to be president of Mexico. She beat the opposition candidate...

After we checked on Sunday following President Trump announcing his TikTok account he had 800,000 followers. Today at the same time he has over 3.8 million followers; that is a gain of approximately 3 million followers in the past 24 hours and growing. Additionally, according to the Trump campaign and Eric Trump, donations have flooded into the campaign as the American public show their contempt for the judicial Lawfare with their wallets and support. As noted by Eric Trump approximately 30% of the donations came from people who had never donated to a political campaign before, and $70 million of...
