The top Republican on the Jan. 6 committee said Sunday that the panel would not allow former President Donald Trump to turn his potentially live televised testimony into a “circus.” (HAHAHA!!)

Welcome to the club, Millennials. The coveted COVID-19 vaccine became available to those age 30 and over in New York on Tuesday — but the newly-eligible found appointments hard to come by. “I fully expected that with the surge of people in this age group that availability would be scarce, but I didn’t anticipate that the process of finding an appointment would feel like going in circles,” Staten Island resident Laura Dasaro, 31, told The Post. Dasaro said that she spent much of Tuesday scouring the state and city’s websites to try to make a vaccine appointment — but to...

President Biden on Tuesday kicked off his “Help is Here” tour of the nation, intended to promote his just-signed $1.9 trillion COVID-19 stimulus bill, but he hardly mentioned the bill on what was supposed to be the first leg of a “victory lap.” Biden spoke for about 3 minutes with the owners of Smith Flooring Inc in Chester, Pa., before reporters were escorted out, with almost no mention of his first major legislative achievement as president. “More help is on the way, for real. Do you have questions for me — at all?” Biden asked. Co-owner Kristin Smith said “we...

Pence, who was interviewed on Fox News’ “Life, Liberty & Levin,” told host, Mark Levin, Biden, Harris and Gov. Andrew Cuomo, the New York Democrat, need to “stop playing politics with people’s lives by undermining confidence in a safe and effective vaccine.” Pence said President Trump has tried to speed up the vaccine through initiatives like Operation Warp Speed, but said no corners have been cut when it comes to safety. He said any vaccine that would be released to the public would be vetted and approved by several agencies, including the Food and Drug Administration. “So to have Kamala...

The head of Michael Bloomberg’s presidential campaign in North Carolina made a homophobic crack in front of a reporter while talking about Pete Buttigieg during a meeting with local preachers. The staffer, James Mitchell, started naming Bloomberg’s rivals: “You have Biden, Sanders, Warren, Butti-Jay,” he said, according to a story written by veteran political reporter Ben Jacobs, which was posted in Medium.com. Mitchell, then gestured toward a minister, Dwayne Walker, and added: “Pastor, you got me saying what you were saying — Butti-Jay,” to laughter in the room. Mitchell added: “He said something different — I’m cleaning it up.” It...

“When I said ‘arrested’ I meant I was not able to move, cops would not let me go with them and made me stay where I was. I guess I wasn’t arrested, I was stopped, I was not able to move where I wanted to go,” he said on CNN.

Seven Democratic candidates for president will meet on the debate stage in Charleston, South Carolina, in a debate hosted by CBS News. It's the last time the candidates will face off before Saturday's critical South Carolina primary — and the last one before voters in 16 states and territories go to the polls on Super Tuesday, March 3. "CBS Evening News" anchor and managing editor Norah O'Donnell and "CBS This Morning" co-host Gayle King will moderate the debate, joined in questioning by "Face the Nation" moderator and senior foreign affairs correspondent Margaret Brennan, chief Washington correspondent Major Garrett and "60...

There’s an increasingly loud cry coming from certain corners of the media following the Iowa caucuses, and it reached its apotheosis Thursday morning with Joan Walsh’s piece in the Nation titled “The Erasure of Elizabeth Warren Continues.” (A few days earlier, she insisted in the same outlet that Warren had a movement that we “just haven’t seen” yet, so she’s clearly pushing this angle hard.) Here’s the crux of her newest argument: Iowa conventional wisdom says there are only “three tickets out” of the caucuses, and yet coverage has curiously overlooked the woman who got one of them: Massachusetts Senator...

Democratic Party officials said they plan to release a majority of Iowa's delayed presidential caucus results by late Tuesday, according to details shared with campaigns on a private conference call. The news did little to stem rising confusion and concern hours after voting ended without the release of a single result in the opening contest of the Democrats 2020 primary season. State party chairman Troy Price informed campaigns that he would release at least 50% of all caucus results at 4pm CST / 5 pm EST, but he declined to answer pointed questions from frustrated campaign representatives about when the...

When the CNN moderators gave Sanders the Trump treatment, the outraged ululations of the Left could be heard from sea to shining sea. Rolling Stone’s Matt Taibbi tweeted, “This is an unusually vile performance by CNN.” The Nation’s Elie Mystal raged, “Jesus Christ I hate these biased questions from the moderators. ‘How would you keep your plan from bankrupting the country?’ JUST ASK THE KOCH BROTHERS TO MODERATE NEXT TIME!” HuffPost’s Zach Carter griped about CNN’s post-debate panel discussion, “CNN’s crew is just straight bashing Sanders post-debate.” The New Republic’s Libby Watson whined, “CNN is truly a terrible influence on...

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) accused Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) of calling her a liar during Tuesday night's debate in a tense conversation between two caught on camera, CNN reported Wednesday. CNN conducted an inventory of its audio equipment and found recordings of the conversation between the two progressive candidates that occurred immediately following the CNN/Des Moines Register debate ended. The release of the audio came after a day of speculation about what was said. "I think you called me a liar on national TV," Warren says to Sanders, to which Sanders responds “What?” and Warren repeats what she said. "You...

by Sheri Urban On Wednesday, CNN released the audio from a confrontation that took place after Tuesday night’s Democrat presidential debate between Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders, in which both candidates accused each other of making false statements. The interaction centered around an anonymously sourced report from CNN on Monday that claimed that Sanders told Warren during a December 2018 meeting that he did not think that a woman could be win in a presidential election. “I think you called me a liar on national TV,” Warren said. Sanders replied, “What?” “I think you called me a liar on...

Democrat Debate Rating hit lowest point of 2020 Presidential Campaign...a Miserable, Paltry 6.1 million TV viewers in total. The Democrat Party continues to destroy itself internally...period!!!

Consider it a twist on the old question about a tree falling in the forest with no one to hear it: If the House adopts articles of impeachment but never sends them to the Senate, is a president truly impeached? A Harvard law professor, who also served as a Democrat-called impeachment witness, answered with a resounding “no” in a column that speaks to the deep dilemma House Speaker Nancy Pelosi faces as she sits on two articles of impeachment against President Trump. Pelosi, D-Calif., is apparently using the delay as leverage to extract favorable terms for a Senate trial. But...

Long-simmering tensions boiled over at Thursday night's 2020 Democratic presidential primary debate in Los Angeles, as a blunt one-on-one sparring match erupted between Pete Buttigieg and Elizabeth Warren over their fundraising -- just minutes after businessman Andrew Yang slammed Democrats' "obsession" with President Trump and impeachment. Warren, a U.S. senator from Massachusetts, began the fiery exchange by criticizing Buttigieg's recent lavish fundraiser in Napa, Calif., saying he was cavorting with "billionaires in wine caves" -- prompting Buttigieg to retort that Warren, a multimillionaire, was a populist in name only. "You know, according to Forbes magazine, I'm literally the only person...

Toward the beginning of Thursday's Democratic presidential primary debate, the seven candidates went after the current state of the economy, something the President Trump has repeatedly lauded during his presidency. Former Vice President Joe Biden said that despite the growing economy, the middle class was suffering. "The middle class is getting killed; the middle class is getting crushed," former Vice President Joe Biden argued. "The working class has no way up, as a consequence of that," he added. Biden also cited a statistic, saying that 40 percent of the farmers in the Midwest couldn't pay their bills last year. Pete...

PBS NewsHour’s Judy Woodruff mistakenly referred to Andrew Yang at the beginning of Thursday night's Democratic debate when she was seeking to ask a question to rival candidate Tom Steyer. The confusing moment came as Woodruff was asking the candidates how they'd convince more people to back the impeachment of President Trump. “Mr. Yang, what more,” Woodruff began her question about President Trump’s impeachment while looking at Steyer. “I’m over here,” Yang responded. He then began clapping and appeared to ask “Judy?” before Woodruff corrected herself and directed the question to Steyer. SNIP
