Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Thursday said Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s (R-Calif.) argument that she changed the precedent on impeachment inquiries is “hogwash.” “That’s hogwash. I mean, it’s ridiculous and I don’t know why the press keeps repeating it,” Pelosi said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” when asked about McCarthy’s claim. “The fact is, we said we were going to assign my…committee chairs, six of them to develop the facts, because you have act upon the facts.” “We had a couple of weeks of doing that [acting upon the facts], a few weeks of doing that.

Come on Kate!’ The advance copy...

We all know that the globalist powers-that-be are behind the covid bioweapon injection and that it’s all a part of their Great Reset agenda. What’s their reasoning? I can guarantee you it’s more that simply compliance or even depopulation, although those are both a part of it. I appeared on Deanna Lorraine’s Shots Fired on the Stew Peters Network to explain what’s really going on. The reality is that Klaus Schwab and his plan for The Great Reset can only succeed at being implemented if they are successful with their bioweapon injections, which they largely have been to-date. However, the...

presidential candidate Joe Biden suggested that he would consider former failed Republican presidential candidate Jeb! [sic] Bush as his vice presidential running mate. “That son-of-a-gun Bloomberg ain’t gonna out-loser ol’ Joe Biden,” Mr. Biden told reporters. “He thinks he can show me up by winning this thing even with Hillary on the ticket.

These items and more may cost more in the coming months as people start feeling the effects of higher fuel prices and raw-material costs as well as a range of tariffs. Janette Hendricks said she has noticed higher prices on “just about everything” in the past three months or so. That’s put a little pressure on the recently retired nurse in Washington. So she goes shopping less often, “makes things stretch,” and she always shops for...

Trayvon sparked a movement that stands up to fascism and white supremacy. We need to hold him in our memories. February 5th marks five years and 339 days since Trayvon Martin’s memorial service; it would also be his 23rd birthday. The day is necessarily somber.

The urgency of #Justice4TrayvonMartin turned into a global urgency to fight for Black lives — one which persists today....

Then in February, Jewish newspaper the Forward found that from 2002–2007, when Gorka was active in politics in Hungary, he...
