Texas Democratic politicians, such as Rep. Joaquin Castro and failed gubernatorial and Senate candidate Beto O’Rourke, are urging President Joe Biden to seize control of the Texas National Guard, which Republican Gov. Greg Abbott has mobilized to help secure the Texas border. Abbott did so in the face of the deliberate and intentional inaction by the Biden administration to make sure the border stays open so millions of illegal aliens could continue to flood across from Mexico. Under the circumstances, any such move by the president would be an abuse of the applicable law. A number of federal statutes govern...

Around 15 years ago CTH outlined the inclusive goal of the progressive movement, modern Democrats as they were evolving, was to deconstruct the U.S. economic system so that Americans would be forced to live in government-controlled poverty. Essentially reduced to circling a campfire, eating sustainable algae cakes and picking parasites off our family members.Most people understandably scoffed and said we were being hyperbolic. However, what we were highlighting was the natural conclusion of a visible ideology and set of policies. The modern democrat ideology is based on a worldview that feudalism is superior, and Democrats are elite in their global...

A former Nazi concentration camp typist known as the “Secretary of Evil” has been convicted by a German court for her role in more than 10,000 murders during the Holocaust. Irmgard Furchner, 97, was found guilty on Tuesday of complicity in the deaths of 10,505 people at Stutthof, the internment camp near Gdansk, Poland, where she served as a typist and stenographer from 1943 through 1945, BBC reported. Furchner, who was tried as a juvenile because she was under 21 when she worked at the camp, was sentenced to a two-year suspended prison term. Although Furchner’s lawyers repeatedly denied she...

Cardona is experiencing mild symptoms but is fully vaccinated and boosted, according to the statement. “Secretary Cardona will continue attending meetings and performing his duties as Education Secretary while working remotely and in isolation.

President Biden and first lady Jill Biden, both of whom had their own coronavirus breakthrough cases earlier this year,...

It was worse than we thought. It turns out that Hunter Biden’s drug enslavement, sex addiction, and penchant for Russkie hookers didn’t stop there. It was probably worse than his hinky “big guy” business deals, diamond “gifts,” and unearned Ukrainian paydays. There was a Chinese spy involved. Just like Democrat Eric Swalwell’s Fang Fang. Hold on, I’ve got to catch my breath. Be honest: You thought it would be that Putin inserted, so to speak, hookers who would double back and sting the first son. But those chickens haven’t come home to roost — at least as far as we...

WASHINGTON, D.C. — White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was thrown for a loop Wednesday when a journalist from NBC asked her an actual question. Jean-Pierre, who had a binder full of notes about various subjects, became flustered when she had to consult it. To her horror, the binder, which she'd considered as nothing more than a prop for several months, did not contain any answers. "I'm sorry, what did you say?" asked Jean-Pierre. "That sounded like a question." The NBC news reporter graciously repeated herself. "Is President Biden planning to address the apparent dichotomy between his constant celebrations for...

Karine Jean-Pierre will become the new White House press secretary when Jen Psaki departs her role next week, President Joe Biden announced in a statement Thursday, becoming the first Black and out LGBTQ person to hold the position. Jean-Pierre currently serves as the White House’s principal deputy press secretary.“Karine not only brings the experience, talent and integrity needed for this difficult job, but she will continue to lead the way in communicating about the work of the Biden-Harris Administration on behalf of the American people,” Biden said in a statement, adding that “Jen Psaki has set the standard for returning...

Vice President Kamala Harris’s newly hired press secretary Kirsten Allen deleted over 10,000 tweets before accepting the position, according to Social Blade. Social Blade, which tracks activity on social media sites, reveals Allen deleted 10,594 tweets between January 5 and January 11, two months before the White House confirmed Allen had accepted the position. Allen reportedly was not in communication with Harris’s office until February. Allen was hired to replace top spokeswoman Symone Sanders, who left the White House in December.

Hunter Biden's emails reveal his close relationship with the Chinese-American secretary who worked for him when he went into business with the man he called the 'spy chief of China.' The mysterious young assistant wrote the president's son flirty messages, sent him opposition research for Joe's White House run and encouraged him to draw funds from the company's accounts when the joint venture collapsed and even ended up with Hunter's military dog tags. In 2017 Hunter went into business with Patrick Ho, secretary general of Chinese oil giant CEFC.

Itzehoe (Germany) (AFP) — A 96-year-old former secretary at a concentration camp will go on trial in Germany Thursday, one of the first women implicated in Nazi-era crimes to be prosecuted in decades. Irmgard Furchner is charged with complicity in the murders of more than 10,000 people at the Stutthof camp in occupied Poland.

Former Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen will serve as the 78th Treasury Secretary of the U.S., the Wall Street Journal reported Monday afternoon, citing people familiar with President-elect Joe Biden’s transition team. Yellen, 74, will have her work cut out for her, with the U.S. economy in the midst of the deepest economic crisis since the Great Depression. But Yellen’s deep experience with macroeconomics, in addition to her familiarity with the inner workings of Washington, could prove to be useful tools as the Biden administration takes a swing at a fiscal response to the crisis. If confirmed, Yellen will be...

Colorado secretary of state deletes request, then whole thread Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold asked national media to refrain from calling races or even announcing election results in a series of posts Thursday evening on Twitter. She later deleted the thread and posted an apology. “ATTN NATIONAL MEDIA EXECUTIVES: Our democracy cannot be held hostage to a ratings race,” Griswold said in the first tweet. “If you care about our democracy, you will protect it. Full Stop. “We are in the middle of a pandemic and the President of the United States has telegraphed that he may claim victory...

Grisham is returning to serve on First Lady Melania Trump’s staff. The New York Times reported Tuesday that, “Kayleigh McEnany, a campaign spokeswoman will replace her — the latest shake-up in a communications office that has been seen almost constant turnover under President Trump.” “Ms. McEnany has been a vocal defender of Mr. Trump on television, the main role the president has long believed the press secretary should play, according to current and...

Protesters forced acting Homeland Security Secretary Kevin McAleenan to end his speech at a recent event in Washington, D.C. On Monday, McAleenan was invited to give remarks and then participate in a discussion session at an annual immigration policy meeting hosted by Georgetown Law. However, protesters kept standing up, holding banners and shouting to prevent the acting secretary from being heard by other attendees.

When you say exclusive, don’t you think that the story would be coming from the source itself? CBS running a headline calling it exclusive about Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the best press secretary that ever was is quitting. Should I sue for trauma about the thought of finally seeing someone who fits perfect in a position and can handle it without intimidation from the agents of satan? Well, there has to be a law against being able to publicize a lie and using the word exclusive is misleading to myself the viewer. THE CBS STORY: CBS News Published on Jun 13,...

So here’s where we are now. On Friday President Trump abruptly fired his Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, forcing him to cut short a trip to Africa. https://twitter.com/jaketapper/status/973550099585478657/photo/1?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=http%3A%2F%2Fhurryupharry.org%2F2018%2F03%2F13%2Ftrump-fires-tillerson%2F https://twitter.com/AP/status/973592726787756032?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=http%3A%2F%2Fhurryupharry.org%2F2018%2F03%2F13%2Ftrump-fires-tillerson%2F Although Tillerson and Trump publicly disagreed on many things, I found this particularly interesting: On the flight from Nigeria, Tillerson appeared to break with the White House in his assessment of the poisoning of a former Russian spy in Britain. He singled out Russia as responsible for the attack, echoing the finger-pointing of the British government. “It came from Russia,” Tillerson said, according to the Associated Press. “I cannot understand why...
