Big Mike বলেছেন...: Kamala Harris today joined an exclusive club: Vice Presidents who were candidates for President of the United States but were forced by the Constitution to certify their opponent's victory as President of the Senate. Before her there had been John C. Breckinridge in 1861 (he went from being VP to being a Senator from Kentucky to being a successful Confederate general during the Civil War), then Dick Nixon in 1961, then Al Gore in 2001, and today Harris. Hubert Humphrey should have joined the club in 1969, but he skipped town and let the President Pro Tem of the Senate handle the certification.; ৬/১/২৫, ৫:১০ PM
Deep State Reformer বলেছেন...: Why haven't those fowl migrated yet?; ৬/১/২৫, ৫:২৬ PM
Deep State Reformer বলেছেন...: The same reason that Americans have to wait three months before the POTUS they voted for to assume the office.; ৬/১/২৫, ৫:২৯ PM
Clyde বলেছেন...: As promised, a little story about Marjorie Merriweather Post. She was the only child of cereal magnate C.W. Post, who used extensive advertising to grow his company's market share. He also hired Walt Disney to create cartoon mascots for his cereals. In 1914, Post had an appendectomy, and while convalescing, he died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. He had a prior history of illness and depression.

Marjorie inherited the company, which was worth $20 million, at the age of 27. She had grown up with the company and was familiar with its operations. She proved to be a shrewd businesswoman, and ran the company for eight years. In 1922, her second husband (of four), E.F. Hutton, took over the operation of the company, and started a string of acquisitions that increased the value of the company: Jell-O, Minute Tapioca, Baker's Chocolate, Calumet Baking Powder, and others.

In 1926, Marjorie's yacht sailed into Gloucester, Massachusetts, and she was served a delicious luncheon, after which she was astonished to learn that the meal had been frozen for six months. That was the work of Clarence Birdseye, an inventor who became interested in freezing food to preserve it while working as a fur trader in Nova Scotia. He came up with a process to freeze fish filets. She immediately saw the potential commercial applications of frozen food for consumers. It took Marjorie three years to finally convince her company to purchase Birdseye's company and the associated patents, which finally happened in 1929. The only problem was that grocery stores were not equipped to store frozen food, so Birdseye's engineers came up with the freezer compartments that you now find in every grocery store. We owe a debt of gratitude to Marjorie Merriweather Post for her foresight in making frozen food a part of our lives.; ৬/১/২৫, ৫:৪২ PM

Dixcus বলেছেন...: Joe Biden has released 11 Al Qaeda terrorists from Guantanamo Bay, Cuba after sparing all the 9/11 terrorists from the death penalty.

Joe Biden is a clear and present danger to the national security of the United States and Donald Trump should deal with that threat in the most harsh way possible.; ৬/১/২৫, ৬:১৮ PM

rehajm বলেছেন...: With the FBI releasing fuzzy footage of the pipe bomb ‘culprit’ today I’m troubled the Democrats and their allies in mainstream media continue to manipulate people, especially the most vulnerable elderly in ‘blue America’ who will believe what they’re told by WaPo and NYT and nothing they’re not told by WaPo and NYT.; ৬/১/২৫, ৭:৩৫ PM
Jaq বলেছেন...: While it is funny to read about the readership decline in the Washington Post, I miss having a broadsheet newspaper on dead tree that I could read with my coffee. Maybe, before social media, we were being lied to exactly as much, but it was harder to put together the required information to see through it, or to hear alternative voices of analysis that can create a coherent narrative that fits the facts without requiring egregious omissions to make it hold together. But I would be more than happy to pay for a subscription to a newspaper that doesn't think that its reason for existence is to lie to me to benefit the billionaire owners cronies and clients of his other businesses, not the least of which are governments.

Oh well. It is a golden age of information. Twenty years ago, the Democrats' J6 narrative might have worked, but twenty years ago, they wouldn't have tried it. Now polls show that, almost nobody really cares about it outside of the media, and the people who don't think that it's all lies on the part of the Democrats and their media thralls, think that it's a lot of noise about nothing. Only the most committed Democrats care about it, and I even doubt that. It's like the Yankee fans who know that Bucky Dent hit that homer with a corked bat, "so what if we are lying, cry me a river!"; ৬/১/২৫, ৮:০৫ PM
Dixcus বলেছেন...: The FBI hasn't arrested a single billionaire pedophile that was raping young girls on Epstein's Island.

You can conclude from that that the FBI protects rich pedophiles.; ৬/১/২৫, ৮:১১ PM
Christopher B বলেছেন...: yes, for an hour and a half at 325; ৬/১/২৫, ৮:১৩ PM
Dixcus বলেছেন...: Not only did the Democrats J6 narrative work, and they certainly thought it would, and it did ... seeing as how there are thousands of political prisoners right now languishing in DC gulags ... and we didn't fire a single shot at them ... but they got off 8 shots over 2 assassins against our guy ... one could only conclude that the Democrats know that Americans are mostly a bunch of easily defeated cowards.; ৬/১/২৫, ৮:১৪ PM
Christopher B বলেছেন...: If the water stays relatively open, and there's a food source nearby (likely since there's probably some grain processing plants in the Madison area), they might have gone as far as they please. There were geese and ducks that hung around downtown Cedar Rapids all winter when I lived there. The city heat kept several ponds and drainage ways open all winter, and there was plenty of corn and oats spilled near the Quaker cereal plant.; ৬/১/২৫, ৮:১৭ PM
Dixcus বলেছেন...: But he has dissolved the legislature ... to prevent them from voting any new laws that might force his departure.

If that sounds like Hitler to you, it should.; ৬/১/২৫, ৮:৩৫ PM

Gospace বলেছেন...: Successful general on the losing side is kind of an odd juxtaposition. Still makes him a loser... You can be a known loser on the winning side, but on the losing side- you lost... No matter how many battles you won.; ৬/১/২৫, ৮:৪৯ PM
Rusty বলেছেন...: The better question is how come they waited so long to hatch a brood. This is extremely late. If there's a severe cold snap the goslings won't survive.; ৬/১/২৫, ৮:৫৮ PM
Nice বলেছেন...: This woman cackled her way through an entire campaign---spent the better part of 4 months making a complete fool out of herself, and evidently loving every minute of it. I doubt one last humiliation is going to rattle her.; ৬/১/২৫, ৯:০৩ PM
Aggie বলেছেন...: Subscribe to County Highway and you'll get some very good journalism delivered to your door, but it's issued every other month - not a daily.; ৬/১/২৫, ৯:২৬ PM
Jupiter বলেছেন...: If your government says that it is illegal to complain about your daughter being raped, what is your recourse? California has said that it's illegal to complain about your son being castrated, so this is not just a UK issue.; ৬/১/২৫, ৯:২৬ PM
Jupiter বলেছেন...: In Islam, they have this concept of a "fatwa". It's like a Bill of Attainder, only more comprehensive. I haven't got any use for their fanciful theology, but there's a lot to be said for death squads. Thing is, once you start down that road, it's hard to stop. You just keep picking up speed.; ৬/১/২৫, ৯:৩৩ PM

Jupiter বলেছেন...: I read an account of what the Communists did in Viet Nam. The French conducted a smallpox vaccination campaign among the Hmong montagnards. But after they left, the Commies came into the villages, with AK's, and made the children line up in the public square. And then they cut off every arm with a vaccination scar, with machetes. And raped the girls. If you really want to prove to a population that they are conquered, you show them that they can't protect their own children.; ৬/১/২৫, ৯:৪১ PM
Jupiter বলেছেন...: And if you're the FBI, you plant informants and provocateurs among them, to make sure that you can arrest anyone who tries to organize resistance to your crimes.; ৬/১/২৫, ৯:৪৬ PM
DINKY DAU 45 বলেছেন...: This perp is a joke,,I dont know where my stuff is!! A federal judge has found Rudy Giuliani in contempt of court after he repeatedly disregarded orders to turn over assets to two former Georgia election workers who won a defamation lawsuit against him in 2022.
U.S. District Judge Lewis Liman also agreed to impose sanctions, which he said he will decide on later.; ৬/১/২৫, ৯:৪৮ PM
Jupiter বলেছেন...: Dink, keeping track of your assets is not always a simple matter, if you have led a productive life, and have a lot of them. I can see why you are not familiar with this difficulty.; ৬/১/২৫, ৯:৫২ PM
Big Mike বলেছেন...: @Gospace, Breckinridge won every battle where he was commander on the scene. You cannot get more successful than that.; ৬/১/২৫, ১০:০১ PM
Big Mike বলেছেন...: I see that self-described journalists are whipping up hatred towards the husband of Nebraska Senator Deb Fischer (R). Vice President Harris shook Senator Fischer’s hand after swearing her in, then reached for the husband’s hand to shake it, too. The second handshake never happened, which Lefties ascribe to Republican rudeness, except the real reason is that the man is handicapped and uses his right hand to hold a cane.

You know, sometimes my own arthritis acts up sufficiently badly to force me to use ankle braces and a cane. And if any of you lefty trolls complains that I did not let go of my cane to shake your hand, well, then we shall both be in the ER — you to get your rectum fixed and me to get my cane back.; ৬/১/২৫, ১০:২০ PM
Eva Marie বলেছেন...: This is a comment from the Instapundit thread on the certification of Trump as President:
“My 8-year-old daughter just started crying and said ‘Daddy I can't believe they certified him. How long before Trump takes away my uterus and gives it to Nazis?!’”; ৬/১/২৫, ১০:২৭ PM

Eva Marie বলেছেন...: “This perp is a joke”
It’s disgusting how lefties attempt to destroy extraordinary men like Rudi Giuliani - America’s Mayor. He brought NYC back from chaos both as DA and then as Mayor. In the aftermath of 9/11 he was praised by everyone for his leadership. And now, because they can, lefties shit all over this now elderly man. You folks ought to be ashamed of yourselves.; ৬/১/২৫, ১১:৩৯ PM

@TwentyYears1975
That's because the lies about J6 are so easily debunked.

No officers died.
The "insurrectionists" were unarmed
The people responsible for Capital security (all Dems) uniformly turned down NG troops.
Then there's that whole "pipe bomber" issue.

"J6 Insurrection" is a fucking myth.

wendybar বলেছেন...: "If some disciplinary action had been meted out to this cretin and the Capitol Police who brutally beat Roseanne Boyland and the officials who lied about her cause of death (see EXCLUSIVE: Investigative Journalist Lara Logan Uncovers 'The Rest of the Story' on January 6 – RedState), I might care a lot more. If they just stopped lying about police officers being killed and hospitalized on January 6 or claiming that serving that day caused three police officers to commit suicide (why would that be?), I might be more charitable. Until then, I really don't care about the morale of Capitol Hill police."

rhhardin বলেছেন...: Richard Epstein's Hoover Libtertarian and Law Talk have gone highly irregular since nothing happening in the law follows from principles, so they have nothing to say. Epstein still has TDS, which has made him pretty useless a lot of the time anyway, but now there's not even a trace of Roman law visible in the US.; ৭/১/২৫, ৫:১৪ AM

Lucien বলেছেন...: I don’t know why Trump would start with a mass pardon of J6 protesters. He could have a press conference with a handful of kindly seniors who were walking around the capitol taking photos, and then cruelly persecuted by Biden/Garland/Pelosi explaining why he was pardoning them individually. Do that two or three times and then do say “there were scores of others who have the same stories”, and then do the mass pardons.; ৭/১/২৫, ৬:১১ AM

“But [Trudeau] has dissolved the legislature ... to prevent them from voting any new laws that might force his departure.

If that sounds like Hitler to you, it should.”

Except Hitler never dissolved the Reichstag. Through entirely legal means, and all legal procedures were followed, the Reichstag followed whatever Hitler wanted. It became sarcastically known as the most expensive singing club in Germany, as the only useful thing it did was to sing the national anthem there.

So Justin Trudeau is literally worse than Hitler.; ৭/১/২৫, ৮:২০ AM

MadTownGuy বলেছেন...: "Mark Zuckerberg announces massive new changes at META, admits the company went too far with censoring Americans.

" Zuckerberg also said they are moving the content moderation team from California to Texas.

Here is what will be changing at Meta:

1. Meta will be dumping their fact checkers and will replace them with Community Notes.

2. Simplifying content policies to encourage more debate on issues like immigration and gender.

3. Meta will change how they enforce policies to reduce censorship, will focus on people breaking the law instead.

4. Meta will start recommending political content again.

5. The trust and safety team will be moving from California to Texas to “promote free expression.”

6. Zuckerberg says he will be working with Trump to “push back on governments around the world” including Europe."

I'll believe it when I see it. So much is operative behind the scenes, and things promised may not occur, but I'm hopeful. I still use FB to keep in touch with family, but some of their moderation rules have proven to be squirrelly, and one of my cousins lost her original account and was never told why.; ৭/১/২৫, ৮:২৫ AM

Leland বলেছেন...: Gadfly here repeats the claim of FBI agents, whose statement he quotes were disavowed by the FBI. Yes, a corrupt Judge tried to continue prosecuting Flynn under the notion the he lied by making a plea of guilty that was clearly made under undue duress. Gadfly’s alignment with corrupt FBI agents and a federal judge suggests he is fine with official abuse of power.; ৭/১/২৫, ৮:৩৯ AM

@Liz_Wheeler
The content of the new House report on the Jan. 6th pipe bomber is shocking.

The FBI tracked phone data & narrowed the suspects down to 186 phone numbers… and then down to 1 phone number… And then the FBI suddenly stopped the case. Just, ended it.

WHY? Who is that one person that they didn’t want to reveal???

The FBI agent in charge (Steven D’Antuano) then told Congress that the phone data from a major telecom company was corrupted. But the telecom company says the data was NOT corrupted. Uhh… The FBI lied? To cover up?

Now the FBI and other agencies are stonewalling Congress over WHY this investigation into what we’re told is the biggest domestic terror attack attempt in recent history just… stopped.

Oh, and the two people who “found” the “pipe bombs” on Jan 6 we’re a “woman carrying a basket of laundry” who is actually a swamp creature who works for an intel-connected org where she works on “disinformation.” LOL. And the other “bomb” was found by a plainclothes fed.

Both “bombs” sat in plain sight undetected for 15+ hours until both were found independently within 15 mins of each other also within 15 mins of the first breach of the Capitol.

And the frame rate of the one video the FBI released of the pipe bomber—which came from the DNC—was 1.2fps which is lower than any security camera on the market by 8x?? Which implies that the video was tampered with? By whom? What’s on the frames that were removed from the publicly released tape??

The implications of this are enormous.

We are closer than we’ve ever been before in totally exposing the totality of what an absolute, evil hoax J6 was.

Don’t lose steam now. Raise your voice. Get this over the finish line. Expose it ALL so everyone can see we aren’t crazy conspiracy theorists, that the Feds actually staged J6 to demonize MAGA after Biden & his ilk rigged the election.

You are the media. Make this famous.

Lazarus বলেছেন...: MMP was the mother of actress Dina Merrill. Dina was a Hutton, related to E.F. Hutton, Barbara Hutton and Glenn Close. She wasn't a Merrill, but E.F. Hutton and Charles Merrill of Merrill Lynch were both stockbrokers, so she took it as a stage name.

Dina Merrill was married to actor Clint Robertson. It was one of those "zombie relationships" in the sense that 20 years after they were divorced, people still thought they were married to each other, and often the only thing people knew about them was that they were married to each other.

MMP gave her home, Mar-a-Lago to the US government for a National Monument, but they couldn't afford the upkeep. The rest is history ...; ৭/১/২৫, ১১:১৪ AM
