Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) accused the GOP caucus of harboring “legitimate white supremacist sympathizers,” and alleged Qanon conspiracy theorists are controlling House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy. The comments come as Democrats desperately attempt to portray the Capitol riots earlier this month as an operation conducted by ‘white supremacists’ and allegations against congresswoman Majorie Taylor Greene and her ties to QAnon conspiracy theories have escalated. In an interview with MSNBC’s Chris Hayes, Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) blasted the current Republican caucus. “This term, there are legitimate White supremacist sympathizers that sit at the heart and at the core of the Republican caucus in...

Fox News meteorologist Janice Dean celebrated a scathing report from the New York State Attorney General accusing the Cuomo administration of “undercounting” and “obscuring” the number of nursing home deaths due to COVID-19. The New York Times reports that attorney general Letitia James, a Democrat, has accused Cuomo and his administration, particularly officials at the State Health Department, of undercounting COVID deaths at nursing homes by as much as 50%. ... The report must have been seen as a relief for Dean after fighting for months to reveal Governor Andrew Cuomo and his administration’s efforts to stonewall – or worse...

The Biden administration is moving forward with a plan to replace Andrew Jackson on the front of the $20 bill with an image of Harriet Tubman. The decision to use Tubman’s likeness was initially made by the Obama administration in 2016, but had been delayed by former Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin under President Trump. White House press secretary Jen Psaki announced the Treasury Department would engage in the necessary steps to place Tubman on the currency, removing Jackson from the front of the note where he has appeared since 1928. “The Treasury Department is taking steps to resume efforts to...

MICHON: “You should all be fired from your day jobs because if your employers knew that you’re more inefficient than the DMV, you would be replaced in a heartbeat. I literally just finished a conference call because I’m having to multitask to be here to address you guys. You’re a bunch of cowards hiding behind our children as an excuse to keep our schools closed. You think you’re some sort of martyrs because of the decisions you’re making when the statistics do not lie that a vast majority of the population is not at risk from this virus. The garbage...

Former presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard unloaded on Rep. Adam Schiff, former CIA director John Brennan, and Big Tech companies, referring to them as “domestic enemies.” In a video clip and blistering Twitter thread, Gabbard denounced the Capitol rioters for their actions earlier this month but accused people like Schiff and Brennan of being far more dangerous. “The mob who stormed the Capitol on January 6 to try to stop Congress from carrying out its constitutional responsibilities were behaving like domestic enemies of our country,” Gabbard said. “But let’s be clear, the John Brennans, Adam Schiffs and the oligarchs in Big...

A majority of Republicans – including Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell – voted Wednesday that the impeachment trial of Donald Trump is unconstitutional. Senator Rand Paul forced a vote on the matter. In an op-ed written over the weekend, Paul (R-KY) called the impeachment process against the former President a “farce” and said it should be dismissed. “The Constitution says two things about impeachment — it is a tool to remove the officeholder, and it must be presided over by the chief justice of the Supreme Court,” he wrote. Neither of those elements exists in this case, as President Trump...

STEPHANOPOULOS: “So, there’s not going to be any delay on the tax increases?” Biden: “Well, I got to get the votes. I got to get the votes. That’s why, you know, the one thing that I — I have this strange notion, we are a democracy. Some of my Republican friends and some of my Democratic friends even occasionally say, ‘Well, if you can’t get the votes, by executive order you’re going to do something.’ Things you can’t do by executive order unless you’re a dictator. We’re a democracy. We need consensus.” STEPHANOPOULOS: “Got to take a quick break. We’ll...

Democrat lawmakers are reportedly seeking to add language into this year’s National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that would keep alleged white supremacists from joining the military. The Hill reports, “Lawmakers are taking matters into their own hands to prevent white supremacists and other extremists from joining and remaining in the military.” The obsession linking white supremacy to the Capitol riots and using it to pursue political opposition continues unabated. Rep. Anthony Brown (D-MD) tells the outlet, “The attack on our Capitol was an insurrection fueled in large part by groups that espouse the same extreme white supremacists’ views groups that...

A surprising number of mostly blue states and cities have announced a return to indoor dining less than one week after President Biden’s inauguration. “Millions of jobs have been lost,” Biden lamented during his inaugural speech. “Hundreds of thousands of businesses closed.” Some of the hardest-hit have been restaurants and bars, with restrictions or flat-out lockdowns being imposed on those businesses since March of last year. Many have been put out of business, never to return. ... Many businesses were the victims of draconian measures put in place by Democrat politicians. But now, those same politicians are suddenly experiencing a...

And here we come to the crucial step which has never before been reported. Peter Daszak himself subcontracted a key piece of the Fauci project — the gain of function piece. He gave that to a well-known center of expertise in gain of function virus research which specialized in bat Coronaviruses. Yep, he gave it to the Wuhan Institute of Virology. The question is, did they give it to us? Let’s see what they did with the Fauci money. In the projects result page, there are 13 papers co-authored by Shi Zhengli, who is the head of the Wuhan Institute’s...

>> Let’s talk about Biden’s agenda, particularly tax policy. It’s the intention for the Biden administration to roll back 2017 tax cuts and the president was a little prophetic about that, take a listen. >> I hope they don’t raise your taxes. But if they do, I told you so. >> He would want to repeal parts of the 2017 tax cuts that benefitted the highest-income Americans and large companies. >> On tax cuts, how could that affect the markets and then everyday Americans? >> Well, Alicia, I think there’s a misnomer that is a big DNC talking point that...

Several lawmakers expressed outrage following a report that National Guard troops had been “banished” to a parking garage after serving to defend against potential threats at the inauguration of President Biden. Politico reported Thursday night that U.S. Capitol Police officials had the Guard troops removed from the facilities “sending them outdoors or to nearby parking garages after two weeks pulling security duty” following the Capitol riots in early January. The report notes that outdoor temperatures in the area fell into the 40s, while conditions inside the parking garage for one unit of 5,000 consisted of just one electrical outlet and...

CARLSON: “Good evening and welcome to Tucker Carlson Tonight. It’s Joe Biden’s first day in office and you know what that means. CNN can finally take that COVID death ticker off the screen. There’s no reason for it now.” “It’s not like you can blame Joe Biden for some Chinese virus that escaped from a lab in Wuhan. That wouldn’t be fair. Come on, now. CNN dutifully removed it this morning. Covid deaths? Settle down, America. It’s just a bad flu season.” “Joe Biden apparently agrees. He and his family were photographed in Washington last night, without masks. But not...

HEMMER: “I don’t know how much you thought about the future of the Republican Party but there is a comment that came in ‘The Guardian’ from James Comey former head of the FBI and I’m going to read it for, sir. ‘The Republican Party needs to be burned down or changed. Something is shifting and I’m hoping it’s the fault breaking apart, a break between the Trumpists and those people who want to try and build a responsible conservative party, because everybody should know that we need one. Who would want to be part of an organization that at its...

Republican California Rep. Tom McClintock said there might not have been any Capitol riot if the Black Lives Matter (BLM) and antifa rioters had been prosecuted “with the same determination” as impeachment. MCCLINTOCK: “And if we prosecuted BLM and Antifa rioters across the country with the same determination these last six months, this incident may not have happened at all. Now, short of declaring war, the power of impeachment is the most solemn and consequential act that Congress can take. To use it in this manner, in the heat of the moment, with no hearings, no due process, many members...

Tucker: Just don’t ask her to perform surgery. She’s not actually a physician, she’s a doctor of education which means basically nothing. On Friday, “The Wall Street Journal” pointed this out. They ran a very, true and obvious point. Jill Biden is not a doctor. In 2007 at the age of 55 she got a doctorate in education. She has the same degree as Dr. Bill Cosby. In 2009, back when America was more honest, “I was so sick of the mail coming to center, I wanted to get it addressed to Dr. and Senator Biden.” That’s the real reason....

A look at the media’s attempts to ‘fact-check’ President Trump’s predictions on the availability of a COVID-19 vaccine shows exactly why journalism is a dying industry. The country’s first Covid-19 vaccines were administered on Monday. President Trump predicted as much prior to the election. The President predicted this day would come in historically record time. “We’re looking to get it by the end of the year if we can, maybe before,” Trump said at a White House event in May. “Vaccine work is looking VERY promising, before end of year,” he tweeted as well. Not wanting the President to celebrate...

A former aide to Andrew Cuomo accused the New York Governor of sexual harassment, saying it took place over many years while she worked in his administration. Lindsey Boylan, who is now running for Manhattan borough president, alleged that the Democrat governor “harassed” her over her looks and criticized her performance, which she says was due to her gender. “Yes, [Andrew Cuomo] sexually harassed me for years,” Boylan wrote in a multiple tweet statement. “Many saw it, and watched.” ... The accusations of sexual harassment and a toxic work environment come as reports have surfaced that President-elect Joe Biden is...

Fox News anchor Harris Faulkner scolded Marie Harf after the liberal pundit took a shot at the talk show Outnumbered for not hyping COVID death numbers to what she views as an acceptable level. Harf began by running defense for Democrats engaged in stifling, Draconian, and unconstitutional lockdown orders as a means to combating the pandemic. Justifying those edicts, in her view, is the death toll from the virus. “Yeah, I mean, we are 43 minutes into the show and we haven’t mentioned the 3,000 Americans that died yesterday, more than on 9/11 and every day for a while we...

Democrat Tulsi Gabbard is making news on two fronts, introducing a ‘born alive’ amendment that protects infants who survive abortion, and bringing forth legislation that would prevent biological males from competing in women’s sports. Gabbard, a former candidate for President, is sure to ruffle some feathers within her own party on both matters. Her first effort regarding infants would amend U.S. criminal code “to ensure a health care practitioner exercises the proper degree of care in the case of a child who survives an abortion or attempted abortion.” It seems like common sense to administer medical care to a child...
