There was no further information, no link to file an appeal, and no reference to an offending tweet.Several years ago, something similar happened to me, but Twitter...

CINCINNATI — Senator Rob Portman announced Monday morning that he would not seek re-election to the U.S. Senate in 2022. "This was not an easy decision because representing the people of Ohio has been an honor," Portman said. "But I’ve been doing this a long time, longer than I ever intended." WCPO is updating this story.

It’s been 75 years since our use of the A-Bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The U.S. was already stretched to the limits by four years of all-out war with Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan, and Truman’s advisors had estimated 400,000 to 800,000 American deaths in a ground invasion of Japan.For the last four years, the Trump Administration wisely stalled Iran’s nuclear capability, versus the complete imprudence of the Obama Administration enabling them to develop a nuclear facility. The confused and uninformed say that Iran would develop one anyway. Now, Joe Biden is headed down the same foolish path as Obama."The...

One of Joe Biden's first acts as president was to sign a 60-day moratorium on new oil and natural gas leases and drilling permits. It's one way the administration plans to tackle the "climate change crisis." But Americans are already feeling the negative effects of the decision. New Mexico, one of the most productive oil and gas areas in the country, is worried about the moratorium. The natural energy industry's success impacts everything, down to education and government-funded programs. Industry insiders have said this regulation means the entire regulatory process shuts down, including normal day-to-day activities "routine requests that arise...

Here is the latest from Hunter Biden’s laptop. Hunter Biden drafted a letter to his ex-wife that he kept on his laptop. In this letter Hunter claimed his ex was drinking wine and smoking pot with friends, including “at Camp David with Michele”. Hunter Biden is a tortured soul. He has longtime problems with alcohol and drugs and he, unfortunately, wrote about these problems and drafted letters to family members complaining about their responses to his issues. Hunter kept these communications and more on his laptop which he left at a computer repair store. After a certain period of time,...

The military-industrial complex is back in the saddle again. “A large US military convoy,” according to i24News, “entered northeastern Syria on Thursday.” Reportedly, the convoy “included some 40 trucks and armored vehicles and was backed from the air by helicopters.” Is Dotty Old Joe planning an American military misadventure in Syria? It wouldn’t be any surprise. As former President Trump said last September, “the top people in the Pentagon…want to do nothing but fight wars so that all of those wonderful companies that make the bombs and make the planes and make everything else stay happy. But we’re getting out...

Incoming Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg has suggested taxing Americans for the number of miles they drive, a policy he endorsed as a Democratic presidential candidate. The Biden Administration is actively searching for ways to fund its ambitious $1 trillion infrastructure plan.

During Buttigieg's confirmation hearing in the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee on Thursday, Florida Republican Sen. Rick Scott asked him if he would support...

Barnum.Taking nothing away from Jackman’s show-stopping performance (or the fact the movie glosses over many of the controversial details of P.T.’s real-life past) Barnum paled in comparison to Mike Lindell, best-known from his wild TV commercials as the ubiquitous inventor of My Pillow.But Lindell is far more than just a showman and an entertainer. He’s a job creator, a philanthropist, a true American patriot, and...

Even in a one-party state like California, stupidity, arrogance, and incompetence can undo the political career of a governor who seemed to have all the ingredients for a run at the White House. Not too long ago, Gavin Newsom was considered as a serious presidential contender in 2024 and beyond for Democrats: movie star handsome, able to tap the largest pool of deep-pocketed Democrat donors, and pals with the Big Tech and Hollywood titans that dominate the nation's flow of information. But after a series of blunders revealing the aforementioned stupidity, arrogance, and incompetence, Newsom is fighting for his political...

He's on-the-air, and on-fire. Chris Plante from WMAL, 105.9 FM, in DC, is rated in America's Top 10 Talk Radio Show Hosts. His show is the "prep work" for many other shows.

Get a fresh refill of...
