Biden, just now: "The only reason people question the vaccine is because of Donald Trump."
Harris, last month: "If Donald Trump tells us to take it, I’m not taking it."
Her entire performance during this interview was embarrassing at the time, but in light of the NYT supposedly verifying the audacity of the Hunter Biden laptop, it's downright contemptible.
230 kids from 0 through 4 have died of COVID in 2 years. More die from the flu in a single year. Having your 3 year old eat outside when it’s been 40 degrees this week is child abuse.
Jenn Psaki defending kids being forced to eat outside in the bitter cold while socially distanced is absolute insanity. There’s no science at all that supports this. It’s pure madness.
EXCLUSIVE: Not 24 hours into the indoor mask mandate she imposed on DC, Muriel Bowser officiated an indoor wedding in Adams Morgan and stayed to fete with *hundreds* of fellow maskless guests.
If you feel like you're losing your damn mind you're not alone. We made people give birth & die alone, parents quit jobs to facilitate "distance learning," & everyone experience a physical divorce from civil society for a virus that curiously goes dark whenever the mob gets mad.
We're supposed to believe that a Purple Heart recipient who spent 2 decades serving the US in the military & then another as an Army foreign area officer secretly still holds primary allegiance to Ukraine, where he fled from as a Jewish refugee at age 3.
Let's be intellectually honest here: if Obama tried to regulate private tech companies like this, us conservatives would have passed out in an apoplectic rage.
In the second half of 2019, out of every $10 that Ilhan Omar’s campaign spent, $4 went to her rumored boyfriend’s firm. The majority of his firm’s total earnings ever reported to the FEC came from her campaign.
If Ahmaud Arbery deserved to die at the hands of armed thugs for checking out a construction site, half of us deserved death by vigilante firing squad for what we did most weekends in college. The intellectual dishonesty demonstrated by some wannabe contrarians here is abhorrent.
The Education Department just informed Princeton that it's under formal investigation following the president's declaration that racism is "embedded" in the university. If true, that would violate the Civil Rights Act, rendering it ineligible for federal $.
Given the harassment the Obamas faced after Trump popularized the birther conspiracy, they would have every reason to rebuff him. However Trump & Clinton fought an equally dirty campaign against each other and were buddies prior. She has no reason to forgo basic manners.
These two men have created nearly 900,000 jobs that didn't exist previously. They've created more than $2 trillion in wealth through entrepreneurship & innovation. Just remember that when people who've never created a single job or a dollar of GDP in their lives vilify them.
She won this battle, not only because this is a solid troll move, but also because she's not the leader of the free world spending a morning tweeting about a Swedish child.

No, Brian, I was not there that night. But like you, I'm making a determination as a journalist, and the facts, from the video recordings & checks to Smollett's shifting story, overwhelmingly indicate that he lied & had Kim Foxx run interference for him.
Florida COVID death rate: 157 per 100k people
FL unemployment rate (Feb21): 4.7%

Smollett said his "attackers" were white. Now his attorney says they're the Nigerian brothers. The prosecutors *STILL* concede that his volunteer service & bond forfeiture is "just disposition," indicating that they continue to view him as culpable of some offense. Because he is.

With no evidence, MSM & antifa-loving politicians immediately labeled Rittenhouse a white supremacist terrorist. It’s obvious now that he was just a foolish kid who felt he needed to protect people & the community from rioters & arsonists because the government failed to do so.
Serious question to "conservatives" who want the gov't to regulate social media: what do you do when the GOP loses control of the White House & Congress? That day will come, even if only temporarily. When it does, do you want President AOC appointing the regulators?
Kamala was supposed to solve the "root causes" of the border crisis (crossings now up 200% from Jan.), get voting federalization passed (DOA), and help spearhead the Afghanistan withdrawal (she hasn't held a public event in a week).
Hawley gambled he could rip open Pandora's box & vote to steal the election from Biden's 81 million voters to advance his 2024 hopes. When he told followers to "STAND UP," they listened and murdered a cop while storming the Capitol. He lost. Make him pay.

Socialists, you have a math problem.
This is a lie, here is your full schedule published by your office, you didn’t plan a single meeting with members of the Knesset or Israeli security officials.
"We may never really know what happened" about a hoax documented with checks and videos is about five inches removed from "Oceania had always been at war with Eastasia" territory.

One is a Rhodes scholar & former Navy lieutenant who served in Afghanistan, graduated magna cum laude from Harvard, speaks eight languages, & references Faulkner offhand with as much ease as he does Eminem.
The other is an unemployed trust fund baby.
At this point to believe this election was stolen, you have to buy that Doug Ducey, Brian Kemp, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, Alito, Amy Coney Barrett, Clarence Thomas, multiple Trump-appointed federal judges, and multiple state Republicans are all in on the scheme.
When encountered by the Washington Examiner, Mayor Bowser confirmed that she officiated the maskless, indoor wedding, but when asked why she was violating her own mask mandate, her security retinue quickly escorted her away.
Sanders-style Medicare-for-All would cost $32.6 TRILLION. That's:
-Nearly twice our annual GDP
-54x our annual defense spending
-Over 8x our annual federal budget
-281x the private sector's annual medical R&D investment
-867x the federal government's annual medical R&D investment
She’s so much better at this than the rest of her party and it’s not even close. No Insta BS, no cheap thirst traps, just a calm rebuttal full of specifics.
Jews comprise 2% of the US population. They comprise 58.1% of the victims of religious hate crimes in the country. From 2016 to 2017, anti-Semitic hate crimes increased by 37%.
Spare me your crocodile tears, you Congressional cowards.

The time is ripe for a media reckoning. A free society requires a robust Fourth Estate to check the privileged and the powerful. Instead, journalists equivocate and cower to a hate crime hoaxer and his cronies in the Cook County State's Attorney office.
The best way to respect an issue as delicate as a rape accusation is to sit on it for two months, fail to question the accused under oath, leak it to the press at the 11th hour, wield it politically, and then wildly backpedal your support for said victim.
Many people who loved that I criticized Trump now annoyed that I criticize Biden. Here's the deal: I'm not a team player or party cheerleader. I generally don't like like people in power and ALWAYS loathe those wishing to expand gov't power. Both-sidesism is good, actually.
Amy Coney Barrett comes off as more affable, intelligent, and honest than the overwhelming majority of the senators questioning her, and yes, I'm including Republicans in that.
Candace Owens is a con artist, not a conservative. We’ve let grifters hijack the Right for long enough; victim blaming, harassing grieving families, & blatant opportunism should have no place in our movement. My latest for

Kate Middleton was dubbed by the press WAITY KATIE while she and Prince William were on and off-again. They would analyze her hemlines and predict when he would move on to some younger, blonder thing. Are we just pretending that she was treated as the perfect future queen?
Statuatory rapists do not get credit for their victims choosing life. This is about the most dishonest manipulation of the pro-life position to advance a partisan argument I’ve ever seen.

Congrats, girl. You earned it.
Imagine covering politics for a living and having your take-away from the last week be “American Christians would be just like the literal Taliban if not for our military.”
A woman who served this country went public with what I can only assume is one of the worst moments of her life, specifically to advance justice for sexual assault victims in the military, and you turn this into a partisan attack?
Words cannot describe how repulsive this is.
Joseph Rosenbaum was a convicted serial pedophile who used the n-word the night Kyle Rittenhouse shot him in self-defense. Not really sure how committing arson & using the n-word means he was “fighting for black lives.”
Public accusations of assault with contemporaneous corroboration ought to be investigated with the utmost seriousness. Between the book release, staged magazine cover, & now these increasingly odd statements, E. Jean Carroll is demonstrating how to undermine that seriousness.
I am fully vaccinated. With 3 in 5 adults fully vaccinated, DC's had just 2 COVID deaths in the past 2 weeks & 4 total deaths of fully vaxxed people. I'm not wearing a mask again. I won't harangue employees who enforce the order, but I will patronize businesses that don't.
Alongside "Do something," "Think of the children!" is one of the most dangerous appeals to pathos in contemporary politics. This is how you empower the gov't to censor and regulate free minds & free markets out of existence.

I'm sorry, but it's impossible for me to feel a modicum of sympathy when Talia Lavin whines about Laura Ingraham talking about her on Fox all while she continues to baselessly smear good people in the 4th largest newspaper on the planet. She owes

This, from
@chick_in_kiev
, in The Washington Post, is the sheerest form of disgusting bulls***. I blamed no one for the Notre Dame fire, since it was an accident by all available evidence, and imputing malicious intent to me is simply gross.
The Talia Lavin playbook:
1. Issue baseless smear.
2. Pretend to be a victim instead of a public figure when called out for her lies.
3. Double down in a tantrum while her allies try to grant her cover.

It’s media malpractice that the entire country knows the name Kyle Rittenhouse instead of Gregory & Travis McMichael. The guys who allegedly used the n-word as they hunted down an unarmed black man are a *little* more racist than the kid who killed 2 white guys in self defense.
Republicans are going to oust one of the most conservative members of the House and replace her with one of the only 12 Republicans to vote AGAINST Trump's tax reform because she wanted to protect the SALT deduction for rich New Yorkers.
This is conservative because reasons.

Two things can be true at once:
1. It’s immoral for social media platforms to call themselves objective platforms and then inconsistently regulate speech.
2. The government has neither the right nor the competency to regulate this problem out of existence.
