Representative Thomas Massie (R-KY), a surrogate for Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL), said on this week’s broadcast of “Fox News Sunday” that former President Donald Trump’s multiple indictments would “ripen into convictions.” Massie said, “You know, the main thing I hear from people back home is there mad that nobody’s held accountable in Washington DC. I think we need to hold Trump accountable. snip The lawsuit itself is ridiculous, but the underlying facts aren’t disputed, and I think people are going to kind of recoil from that when all that stuff starts coming out this summer. And the polls that show...

What is truly unexpected is that Gov. Gavin Newsom’s administration has just ordered a state spending freeze. In a memo sent across California agencies and departments this week, the director of the Department of Finance wrote, “It is vitally important that state government is efficient, effective, and only expends funds that are necessary to the critical operation and security of the state. As such, all state entities must take immediate action to reduce expenditures and identify all operational savings achieved.” The department urged state agencies to take several steps to save money, including avoiding any new contracts or agreements to...

An appeals court Friday ordered an administrative stay of a gag order barring former President Trump from targeting witnesses and the prosecutors in his federal election interference case, temporarily pausing its implementation ahead of further legal battles. The order from the D.C. Circuit court of appeals also expedites the case. The decision tees up a similar legal battle already litigated in a lower court, where Judge Tanya Chutkan determined the threats and harassment resulting from Trump’s social media taunts posed danger to the case and his subjects, barring him from speech that would “target” those involved in the case. Now,...

MSNBC anchor Joy Reid said Thursday on her network’s special coverage of Georgia’s booking of Donald Trump that the former president is a “vile, racist, anti-democracy buffoon.” Reid said, “Who else has been mentioned, what, a few dozen times in hip-hop songs that people used to portray as, that they used to say is the stand-in for wealth and ostentatious wealth? Donald Trump. Donald Trump, before he was soon to be criminal defendant Donald Trump, was a hip-hop figure. He was somebody who people I respect, like Nas, were talking about, Donald Trump. He was a stand-in for the idea...

Determined to deflect criticism for his delayed response to a suspected Chinese spy balloon, President Biden ordered a series of strikes against at least three other aerial objects. The targets were described by the pilots that shot them down as very small. Now, the Northern Illinois Bottlecap Balloon Brigade's (NIBBB) says its globe-trotting $12 pico balloon and $80 ham radio transmitter has gone missing. Biden took full responsibility for ordering the downing of these objects, explaining that "from all outward appearances they seemed to be innocent amateur science projects, but rather than be caught with our pants down like we...

The chief of police in Memphis in charge of the five officers who fatally beat and tasered motorist Tyre Nichols was fired from a previous law enforcement job after a botched probe. Cerelyn “CJ” Davis became the first female police chief in Memphis’ history in 2021 and is currently in the international spotlight after five cops brutally beat Tyre Nichols. She was fired from the Atlanta police department in 2008 for her alleged involvement in a sex crimes investigation into the husband of an Atlanta police sergeant, according to the Atlanta Journal Constitution.

Monica ran a poll asking who should make really important decisions on Twitter, the employees or the public. The result: Employees of Twitter - 24%. Public poll on this site (Twitter) - 76%

Americans are open to candidates other than Kamala Harris for the 2024 Presidential Election. Virginia voters told Fox News that Vice President Kamala Harris is not a shoo-in to replace President Biden at the top of the ticket If he does not seek re-election in 2024. Rosa, a mother from Virginia, told Fox News, "I would support her, but I'd be open to other candidates as well in the Democratic Party." 40% of 2020 Biden voters said he should not run, according to a recent poll by Yahoo News/YouGov.

MSNBC anchor Nicolle Wallace said Wednesday on “Deadline” that Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) is using the House select committee investigating the January 6, 2021 riot at the U.S. Capitol to say “F the law,” we are going to hold “dangerous buffoon” former President Donald Trump accountable. Wallace said, “I think the asymmetry of Trump has always been his greatest asset. You know, a campaign is set up to fact check someone. In the Republican primaries in 2015, the Jeb Bush campaign was ready to say, aha, but you weren’t for that tax policy, and Trump just went, you big fat...

The White House abruptly cut the feed of President Biden's briefing on wildfires with federal and state officials. During Monday's visit to Boise, Idaho, Biden received a briefing about the ongoing wildfires that have plagued several states out west. While Biden spoke for much of the briefing, at one point he said he wanted to hear more from George Geissler of the National Association of State Foresters. BIDEN AGAIN SUGGESTS HE'S NOT CALLING THE SHOTS: ‘I’M SUPPOSED TO STOP AND WALK OUT' "Can I ask you a question?" Biden asked. "Of course," Geissler responded. "One of the things that I've...

Biden has been reduced to bribing the Taliban with foreign aid in exchange for a promise not to attack the United States embassy in Kabul. The proposal to fund terrorists is criminally treasonous and since the ranks of the Taliban include any number of Jihadis, and their old Al Qaeda allies have a presence in Afghanistan, that’s setting up our diplomats to be killed. Now 3,000 soldiers are heading back to Afghanistan to help evacuate Americans.Another 3,500 soldiers will be on standby in case the situation continues to worsen.Biden is sending more soldiers back to Afghanistan than he withdrew to...

The Biden administration revealed on Tuesday that guys who can’t get laid may be terrorist threats due to “involuntary celibate–violent extremism.” That revelation is part of a new crackdown that identifies legions of potential “domestic terrorists” that the feds can castigate and investigate. But there is no reason to expect Biden administration anti-terrorism and anti-extremism efforts to be less of a farce and menace than similar post-9/11 campaigns. Since the French Revolution, politicians have defined terrorism to stigmatize their opponents, a precedent followed by the Biden administration’s National Strategy for Countering Domestic Terrorism. The report labels the January 6 clash...

President Xiden:

A lot of wrong predictions have been made about coronavirus and quite a few of them came from Dr. Fauci himself.

Beto O’Rourke apologized Friday night for writings the former Texas representative made as a teenager describing fantasies about running over children with a vehicle. “I’m mortified to read it now, incredibly embarrassed, but I have to take ownership of my words,” the Democratic presidential candidate said during a taping of the “Political Party Live” podcast in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. “Whatever my intention was as a teenager doesn’t matter, I have to look long and hard at my actions, at the language I have used, and I have to constantly try to do better.” His comments come after a report Friday...

Yesterday, the He Will Not Divide Us flag was moved from Tennessee to Liverpool, England. Why a flag referencing the American "Resistance" would be moved to England is beyond me, but it seems to have been stolen again.

In an exclusive interview with NBC News' "Meet the Press," Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.) said he does not believe Donald Trump is a "legitimate president," citing Russian interference in last year's election. Asked whether he would try to forge a relationship with the president-elect, Lewis said that he believes in forgiveness, but added, "it's going to be very difficult. I don't see this president-elect as a legitimate president." When pressed to explain why, he cited allegations of Russian hacks during the campaign that lead to the release of internal documents from the Democratic National Committee, and Hillary Clinton's campaign co-chairman,...

President-elect Donald Trump tweeted out a sarcastic New Year’s greeting Saturday to those who opposed him. “Happy New Year to all, including to my many enemies and those who ..."
