Ashli Babbitt’s mother, Michelle Witthoeft, says Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is responsible for orchestrating her daughter’s death on January 6. “My daughter was a California constituent, and Nancy Pelosi not only, I feel like, orchestrated the death of my daughter.” “I’ve reached out to Nancy Pelosi’s office several times, and she has yet to call me back because she’s too busy playing in her clubhouse with all of her elite people,” Witthoeft said. She then reminded the House Speaker about who she really works for. “You know, it’s the people’s house. It’s not your house, Nancy,” Witthoeft declared. “It’s...

A restaurant owner struggling to find staff asked Joe Biden at a town hall this week how he plans to encourage people to re-enter the workforce and leave behind their large COVID unemployment checks: During a Wednesday town hall, John Lanni, the co-founder and owner of the Cincinnati-based restaurant group Thunderdome, asked the president, “How do you and the Biden administration plan to incentivize those that haven’t returned to work yet?” Biden’s retort to the restaurant owner was both arrogant and authoritarian: Biden, who was speaking in the auditorium of Mount Saint Joseph University, responded, “One, if you noticed, we...

Some things are so predictable. For instance, take Black Lives Matter. This is their "about us" statement#BlackLivesMatter was founded in 2013 in response to the acquittal of Trayvon Martin’s murderer. Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation, Inc. is a global organization in the US, UK, and Canada, whose mission is to eradicate white supremacy and build local power to intervene in violence inflicted on Black communities by the state and vigilantes. By combating and countering acts of violence, creating space for Black imagination and innovation, and centering Black joy, we are winning immediate improvements in our lives. It's also very...

Take that, zombie! Over at Breaking Defense, Bill Greenwalt aims a blast to the cranium of one of the most deathless talking points—myths, fallacies, call them what you will—of U.S. defense policy. Namely, the casual claim that because the United States spends more on defense than the next X countries combined—X usually being defined as ten or upwards—it is so crushingly superior that it need not spend more and could probably get away with spending less on the armed forces. No. It is not the case that the competitor that spends the most automatically wins. You can gun down this...

Last month, the cancel culture mob found a new target in Sharon Osbourne after she dared to defend her friend Piers Morgan from claims that he is racist simply for criticizing Meghan Markle. Now, Sharon’s daughter Kelly Osbourne is defiantly speaking out to say “f*** cancel culture.” Kelly’s comments contrast the ones made by LeVar Burton, who has become a frontrunner to be named host of “Jeopardy!”

A new Quinnipiac University poll out Wednesday shows Americans think Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (GA) more exemplifies the Republican Party than Rep. Liz Cheney (WY). The poll is almost certainly meant to convey just how far adrift the Republican party has become in the eyes of the media but in reality, it is more emblematic of how difficult it is going to be for the GOP to separate themselves from supporters of former President Trump. Alienating Trump means alienating your conservative base. And that base wants fighters regardless of their past controversial comments – which Greene has apologized for –...

Florida governor Ron DeSantis laid into the media over their focus on some Tampa Bay Buccaneer fans for having celebrated the team’s Super Bowl victory without masks. ... Governor Ron DeSantis was asked at a press conference if he was concerned that Tampa Bay fans weren’t adhering to mask orders and COVID restrictions ordered by the mayor of Tampa. “The media’s worried about that, obviously. You guys really love that,” the Florida Republican quickly shot back. DeSantis then noted how the media doesn’t seem all that concerned about the pandemic when it comes to BLM protests, Antifa insurrections, or celebrating...

GRAHAM: “I thought the impeachment trial was not only unconstitutional. I condemn what happened on January the 6th, but the process they used to impeach this president was an affront to rule of law. He is the first president to ever be impeached without a lawyer, without a witness. Without an ability to confront those against him in the trial record. It was a complete joke, hearsay upon hearsay and we’ve opened Pandora’s box to future presidents and if you use this model, I don’t know how Kamala Harris doesn’t get impeached if the Republicans take over the house, because...

House impeachment managers sent a letter to Donald Trump strongly suggesting the former president testify at the Senate impeachment trial. The trial, slated to begin on Tuesday of next week, involves a charge from the House that Trump incited a mob of supporters who stormed the Capitol on January 6th. A formal response from Trump’s lawyers “denied” that he “ever engaged in a violation of his oath of office,” and instead he, “at all times acted to the best of his ability to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.” Lead impeachment manager Jamie Raskin (D-MD) essentially...

SORKIN: “The difference between a big box retailer — hold on. The difference between a big box retailer and a restaurant or frankly, even a church, are so different it’s unbelievable. Going into a big box retailer, you’re wearing a mask.” SANTELLI: “I disagree! I disagree! I disagree! You can have your thoughts and I can have mine.” SORKIN: “It’s science. If you’re wearing a mask, it’s a different story.” SANTELLI: “It’s not science! 500 people in a Lowe’s aren’t any safer than 150 people in a restaurant that holds 600. I don’t believe it! Sorry. Don’t believe it.” SORKIN:...

Here I am a drunk, a sinner, a hater, a racist currently sober and yes the first description of myself leads all the rest. Its no secret what I believe as I've made clear in countless posts but intoxication is the big issue. Drugs, Alcohol And Pornography lay behind the evil violence that kills and destroys and hurts people and property and politicians can't preach that to people. They'll get no votes in this election year for saying that so we get the urinated pablum about "systematic racism" and "white privilege" and the list goes on. Some Philadelphia music in...
