George P. Bush continues to make the case against Attorney General Ken Paxton as he seriously eyes a challenge to the two-term incumbent Republican. Bush is the current Land Commissioner but said in an interview on Capital Tonight Friday, he's set to make an announcement after the legislative session about his political future. "I'm excited to be able to serve Texans for another four years," he said. "The Texas Attorney General truly is a leader for the conservative movement nationally.

As major hospitals in New Delhi pleaded for more supplies to save COVID-19 patients who were unable to breathe on social media on Friday, India put oxygen tankers on special express trains. An oxygen-fed fire tore through a coronavirus ward in a populated western province, killing more than a dozen people.The world's worst coronavirus surge is wearing down India's underfunded health sector, which set a global high of daily infections for the second day in a row with 332,730. In a nation of nearly 1.4 billion inhabitants, India has confirmed 16 million cases, second only to the United States. In...

The U.S. Supreme Court delivered some bad news to Democrats on Monday in a major immigration case. On Monday, the Court expressed skepticism about allowing temporary immigrants protected from deportation to apply for green cards. The case revolves around whether these 400,000 or so immigrants can apply for lawful residency without having to leave the country first.

Came across this YouTube video not long ago. I feel she makes a lot of good points? Was very surprising. I felt well informed. It seems Jordan Peterson really just doesn't know what he's talking about sometimes. Though she's an environmentalist, she seems to have a nice little channel going that deserves more attention.

Today I officially became a potential felon. Now I may or may not own an ATI Omni Hybrid with Quad-Rail AR15 pistol and other munitions but that is beside the point. The point is they are coming after us quick, fast and in a hurry. Presently, the power craven political class currently in office seems to desire to suggest that having the right to self-defense as enshrined in the constitution and Bill of Rights is a criminal offense. The way I see it, anyone who tries to restrict my right to legally own firearms under the guise of trying to...

Don’t you love all of these companies who are going “woke?” Trust me, they’re all gonna go broke when this is all said and done. Americans have had it with this corporate activism. These companies will get the exact same treatment that Hollywood and sports franchises have gotten…and that’s abysmal ratings, loss of respect, and a bunch of pissed-off fans. That’s the only place this path leads to – a sad and lonely existence spread-eagle on the altar of progressivism. But they don’t care right now – all these hypocrites want to do is score some quick progressive brownie points....

Joe Biden and the progressive wing of the Democrat Party just got a wake-up call from House Speaker and California Rep. Nancy Pelosi and some other top Democrats. “Do you support Jerry Nadler's bill to expand the Supreme Court by 4 seats and would you commit to bringing that bill to the floor,” a reporter asked the Speaker. “No,” she said matter of factly. “'I support the president's commission to study such a proposal,' Pelosi added. 'But, frankly, I'm not – right now, we're back, our members – committees are working putting together the infrastructure bill and the rest,” Speaker...

[They’ve emphasized the sensitivity of their reports so I’ve redacted this pretty significantly. But I think it’s important for people to understand what is going on. I’m getting a steady flow of reports like these from different locations describing relief work among defecting police/soldiers/government officials, refugees on the run, fighting in many areas, torture and human rights abuses by the military junta, involvement by the Chinese government and so on. Note the testimony below describing Chinese/military exploitation of tribal areas. This is done without concern or recompense to the local people, who are often enslaved or have their homes destroyed...

Coke got woke, and now they’re gonna go broke. I don’t know why these companies literally can’t stop themselves from jumping into social and political issues. It’s like, you make fizzy sugar water, shut up. But much like sports and Hollywood, these progressive corporate commies just can’t stop themselves from giving their unsolicited two cents. Everyone’s a friggen activist nowadays. And it’s not like going “woke” is this super-profitable gig for most companies and sports franchises. Hollywood is quite literally circling the drain as we speak – there are more people in my living room right now than actual viewers...

President Joe Biden has pitched his infrastructure package as a weapon essential to keeping pace with China, calling it a "blue-collar blueprint" that his administration says will create millions of jobs and better position the United States to compete with Beijing. Justifying his $2.25 trillion proposal, Biden said Wednesday that "China and the rest of the world" are racing ahead of the U.S. All told, he mentioned the country six times. "Do you think China is waiting around to invest in its digital infrastructure or research and development?" he asked. "I promise you, they are not waiting. But they are...

I don’t think you can find a photo that better sums up the stupidity of “woke” corporate America than this one here. It’s dripping with irony and karma, and it’s delicious. Corporations have gone “woke,” and they’re funneling piles of cash into social justice activism like BLM and other Marxist movements. But it’s gone beyond just pouring cash into their coffers, these corporations have now gone full “Hollywood” mentality and are now activists themselves. And we all know what’s happened to Hollywood after they went full “woke.” The same thing that happened to sports…America tuned out. We don’t want this. ...

January 6 was not a case of “domestic terrorism.” There were no “armed extremists” executing a “lethal breach” of the Capitol Complex. Only one individual has been charged with illegally bringing a gun into the Capitol. The only shots fired at the Capitol on January 6th were fired by a Capitol policeman who shot unarmed civilian Ashli Babbitt through the neck. There was no planned assault. January 6 absolutely was an isolated event. The Capitol riot was the product of bad police crowd control rather than a concerted plan to attack anyone or anything. This dishonest and error-ridden letter isn’t...

The weaponization of medical language emboldened white supremacy with the authority of the white coat. How will we stop it from happening again?

Former Trump campaign lawyer Sidney Powell yesterday responded to the $1.3 billion defamation lawsuit that Dominion Voting Systems filed after she repeatedly accused the company of participating in an elaborate international conspiracy to deny Donald Trump his rightful victory in last year's presidential election. Her defense, more or less, is that she did not really mean what she said. True, Powell claimed over and over again that Dominion rigged voting machines to manufacture "millions" of votes for Joe Biden. She fingered a specific Dominion executive as largely responsible for the scheme, claimed the plot had its roots in fraud-facilitating software...

Fundraising companies say their fees are well-earned and still leave candidates with more money than they would have if their ads had not been shared widely. But critics, including Klacik and some other 2020 candidates, say the system is deceptive, trapping first-time politicians in onerous contracts that siphon away cash their donors intended for them. “It sounds like part of the swamp that needs to be drained,” said Bruce Dale, a Klacik donor from Michigan who was aghast to learn that a chunk of his $800 in donations may not have made it to her. “They can say it’s legal,...

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), the ranking member on the Senate Judiciary Committee, said that impeachments based on partisan differences appear to be becoming normalized, suggesting that future presidents will face impeachment challenges. “I hope I will be proven wrong, but it seems that impeachment based on partisan differences seems to be becoming the norm, not the exception,” Graham wrote on Twitter.

“The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is probably the most ideologically intoxicated, most dogmatic political party of Leninist stripe in human history. Yet, we don’t tend to think of the CCP that way.” Tonight, we sit down with Miles Yu, who served as Senior China Policy Adviser to Mike Pompeo when he was Secretary of State. While many today still harbor illusions about the Chinese regime, the CCP seeks to “replace the US-led international order with its own authoritarian model of governance,” Yu says. And “their internal designation of the United States as chief adversary has never changed.”

The U.S. Senate voted on Feb. 9 to authorize the impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump, overruling an argument by the defense alleging the Senate doesn’t have jurisdiction to try Trump because he’s now a private citizen. Over the course of four hours, House impeachment managers and Trump’s attorneys presented their arguments for and against the constitutionality of the trial. In the end, 44 Republican senators voted in favor of dropping the trial because it’s illegitimate, seven votes short of the majority needed to stop the proceedings at the gate.

Speaking with Newsmax on Tuesday, Lindell repeatedly tried to voice his allegations against Dominion Voting Systems, which Trump and his allies have accused of being involved in efforts to rig the vote against him. “Mike, thank you very much,” Sellers said as Lindell tried to talk over him, repeating Lindell’s name multiple times in an attempt to get his attention. “You’re talking about machines that we at Newsmax have not been able to verify any of those kinds of allegations,” Sellers continued. “We just want to let people know that there’s nothing substantive with what we’ve seen.”

A bunch of videos put out by an absolute legend of alternative takes on news. Australian Max Igan gives his take on newpolitik in a most soothing way. Its ideal to stay sorta informed, yet not have your blood pressure spike. Always a pleasure to watch, even though I do not agree with much of what he says. IE, Trump is controlled oppo, that’s laughable, and am not remotely sold on 5G being an issue. Really sucks that I want to introduce you all to his pleasing diatribe against the enemy of mankind, but, his two most recent videos are...
