Ordered to vacate the corridors of the Capitol building after Rep. Will Keating (D-MA) complained that he saw a couple of the National Guard troops at a Dunkin Donuts “without wearing the masks mandated by President Biden,” former President Donald Trump’s offer to let them hang out at his DC hotel incited House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif) to add another charge to her impeachment case against him. “Mr. Trump is no longer in charge of the federal government,” Pelosi ranted. “He has no authority to offer accommodations of any sort to these troops. His doing so is further proof of...

Former President Donald Trump said Friday in his first public comments since leaving office that he’ll make a comeback in some way but didn’t elaborate. “We’ll do something, but not just yet,” Trump told Rob Crilly of the Washington Examiner on Friday. He didn’t provide more details. Trump made the comment while dining at the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida, according to the Examiner article. On Wednesday morning, before leaving for Florida, Trump made similar remarks about being “back in some form.’ “I will tell you that the future of this country has never been better....

Indoor dining expected to be allowed in Chicago starting Saturday. CHICAGO - Customers will be allowed back inside of bars and restaurants in Chicago and suburban Cook County beginning Saturday, provided coronavirus infection rates stay down. The city and Cook County will move from Tier 2 to Tier 1 of Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s COVID-19 mitigation plan as long as metrics continue to improve or stay the same, according to the Illinois Department of Public Health.

Senate Democrat leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) on Friday evening announced the impeachment trial for Trump will begin the week of February 8th. .... Snip.... The swamp knows that Trump won the 2020 election and still has a solid base of tens of millions of supporters so they are working to bar Trump from ever running for office. The House voted 232-197 to impeach Trump last week – 10 Republican traitors joined the Democrats and voted in favor of impeachment. Speaker Pelosi will send the articles of impeachment to the senate on Monday. Pelosi and the Democrats have accused Trump of...

    It is certainly a sign of the times. In 2020, the FBI processed a record 39.7 million firearm background checks, the most recorded since the agency began keeping tabs in 1998. On top of that, checks exclusively related to the sale of firearms also reached a record high last year, totaling 21 million, according to firearm trade organization National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF). The gun and ammo craze, which is being pinned on the COVID-19 crisis, the violent rioting that gripped major cities in recent months, and the new Biden administration, has anyone looking to get...

Against the surreal backdrop of sometimes violent nationwide protests, one alarming story as reported by The New York Times seems to have slipped under the radar. Law enforcement arrested a 21-year-old Idaho man on suspicion of firing a semi-automatic rifle at the White House. Several days prior to the arrest, the Secret Service had responded to reports of shots fired near the National Mall and pursued a vehicle departing the area on Constitution Avenue. They found the vehicle abandoned with an AK-47 and spent casings inside, and soon afterward extracted several bullets that had struck the White House. The suspect’s...

As Joe Biden was sworn in as our 46th president, he delivered a simple yet eloquent speech about America's "uncivil war" and preached unity to a politically divided nation. "We must end this uncivil war that pits red against blue, rural versus urban, conservative versus liberal. We can do this if we open our souls instead of hardening our hearts. "If we show a little tolerance and humility, and if we are willing to stand in the other person's shoes -- as my mom would say -- just for a moment, stand in their shoes." It wasn't literature. It wasn't...

President Joe Biden reversed an order by former President Donald Trump that excluded illegal aliens in the census numbers used to determine each state’s share of congressional seats and Electoral College votes. On his first day in office, President Biden reversed a Trump order so that illegal aliens will now be required to be included in the census numbers used to decide how many lawmakers represent each state in Congress. In December, Biden foreshadowed this move when he claimed that the U.S. Constitution “clearly requires” illegal aliens to be counted for the purpose of apportioning congressional districts in states. But...

In its final days, the Trump administration is seeking to disrupt the way progressive activists increasingly impose their will on big business: through banks controlling the loan lifelines to the economy. A regulation just finalized (update) aims to prevent lenders from blackballing businesses in industries opposed by the left by requiring banks to demonstrate that their loan decisions are “based on quantitative, impartial risk-based standards,” rather than political or reputational concerns. The proposed Fair Access to Financial Services Rule (FAFSR) is a response to successful pressure campaigns waged by environmental groups and congressional Democrats, which culminated in every major American...

Democrats have historically challenged the election results whenever a Republican wins the White House. Democrats in 2016 challenged the election for four years with several attempts at a coup. But Democrats are horrified that Americans may find out about the massive fraud in the 2020 election. On Thursday seven Democrats filed an ethics complaint to censure Senators Cruz and Hawley for challenging the election results. They don’t want the truth out. The Hill reported:

ANALYSIS/OPINION: Scarcely had Donald Trump even packed his last bags and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell was already throwing his final daggers at the president’s back, cutting deals with the Democrats, meeting behind closed doors with Sen. Chuck Schumer. It’s the final step. The “four legs good, two legs bad” has successfully shifted to “four legs better.” For those who aren’t familiar: The phrases come from George Orwell’s “Animal Farm,” the fictional account of a barnyard uprising against the oppressive humans. The rebellion, buoyed by the phrase “four legs good, two legs bad” — as a means of keeping the...

North Dakota Republicans have an ax to grind with their Democratic counterparts after local officials supported a man accused of vandalizing a U.S. senator's office. A GoFundMe page, reported by the local Jamestown Sun, shows North Dakota Democratic-NPL Party Chairwoman Kylie Oversen, party official Ellie Shockley, and 2012 lieutenant gubernatorial contender Ellen Chaffee contributed donations to Thomas Alexander Starks, for whom a legal defense fund was opened after he was charged for allegedly using an ax to destroy the windows and intercom systems of Sen. John Hoeven's office on Dec. 21. The 30-year-old faces up to five years in prison...

Dems ordered Silicon Valley monopolies to remove Parler. They obtained. That forced Parler to use a Russian company for hosting. Now, Dem @RepMaloney wants to investigate Parler for Russia ties, and the WPost article includes this:

The Central Intelligence Agency announced at the start of the new year that it had traded its old site design in favor of a new look. From Creative Bloq The CIA’s new rebrand includes a refreshed logo (below) which retains its predecessor’s circular shape – and very little else. With its bold, black-and-white typeface and wavy lines, the internet is wondering whether the CIA has been taking logo design inspiration from techno music posters. The logo features on the CIA’s new recruitment website, and is part of a rebranding effort designed to encourage more diverse applicants “from people of all...

I Watched Biden’s Inauguration First-Hand Haunted and numb in a horribly sanitized city. Thu Jan 21, 2021 Katie Hopkins Not only is the city completely abandoned by ordinary Americans, but it feels like a military garrison, courtesy of 25,000 National Guard troops, police, and Secret Service posted at every intersection. Many of them are sleeping at my hotel and I couldn’t wish for better roommates. But their frustration is obvious. These good men and women have left their homes, families and jobs to be here, but to what end? We can all see there is no threat to be faced....

President Joe Biden signed more than a dozen executives orders on his first day in office, some of which reverse former President Trump’s policies. Biden signed a total of 15 executive orders, which his transition team announced ahead of his inauguration as part of the new administration’s plan for the first 100 days in the White House. “I thought there’s no time to wait. Get to work immediately,” Biden said. “These are all just starting points. There’s going to be a lot of focus on the middle class, and I think some of the things we’ll be doing are bold...

Democrats and attendees of Joe Biden’s inauguration ignored social distancing guidelines during the ceremony Wednesday. The event would be categorized as “highest risk,” which the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) defines as “Large in-person gatherings where it is difficult for individuals to remain spaced at least 6 feet apart and attendees travel from outside the local area.” Former President Barack Obama could be seen shaking hands and offering fist bumps: The CDC recommends displaying signs at events that discourage “handshakes, fist bumps, and high-fives”. After Biden was sworn in, he kissed his children, including Ashley and Hunter: Obama...

....the Democrats themselves were in undeniable collusion with the Chinese. Nice distraction and smokescreen.
