...The 42-second video shows at least 100 people at an illegal street racing event around South 900 Block of Pacific Avenue. At the beginning of the clip, dense white smoke can be seen as street racers perform donut maneuvers in the middle of the intersection.

Is this what happens when mainstream media make it their agenda to formulate a narrative that inspires citizens to disrespect the police?

It will be interesting to see how Biden and AOC respond to this...Read all!

Amazon Fights Against Mail-In Voting in Union Decision to Preserve 'Vote Fidelity'

Biden Rescinds Trump Order Banning Chinese Communist Involvement In US Power Grid

President Biden has revoked a Trump-era executive order that sought to keep foreign countries and companies out of America’s bulk power systems – principally entities associated with the Chinese Communist Party – as part of his “Executive Order on Protecting Public Health and the Environment and Restoring Science to Tackle the Climate Crisis.”

The executive order, which executes key tenets of President Biden’s climate change agenda, was released on the former Veep’s first day in office.
Section 7 of the massive order, which includes the revocation of the permit for the Keystone XL Pipeline, also revokes several climate and energy-focused executive orders penned by the Trump administration.
Subpoint C notes that “Executive Order 13920 of May 1, 2020 (Securing the United States Bulk-Power System), is hereby suspended for 90 days.”
The Trump-era order sought to ban, replace, and set new criteria on bulk-power system (BPS) electric equipment coming from a foreign country or national that poses a national security threat...Read all.

After Violence at the Capitol, Congress Must Ensure Election Integrity | Opinion

"...Partially due to the Covid-19 pandemic, much of our country rushed without preparation to universal mail-in voting last year.

In the process, we blew away some long-standing laws, procedures and constitutional requirements that guarantee fair elections.

The thrown-together process in Pennsylvania, for example, may have violated the state constitution. Since the 19th century, that constitution has required all votes to be cast in person, with narrowly defined exceptions.

...In elections past, when Democrats have objected to the presidential electoral process, they've been lauded as heroes safeguarding the right to vote, not insurrectionists subverting it.

...My vote was about elections to come, in 2022, 2024 and beyond, and seeing that they are conducted fairly.

We have to repair the mess at the polls in 2020 if we are to restore Americans' trust in our elections process.

How can either the House or Senate fix our electoral problems unless we are willing to examine them?

That is why I introduced an important piece of legislation last September, the VOTER Act, which would address systemic problems in voting systems across the country and rebuild trust in our electoral process...The VOTER Act mandates Voter ID in every state, institutes measures to ensure timely results, including allowing every state to begin processing absentee ballots before Election Day, and creates uniform national standards for voting by mail...

Lunch video-----James O’Keefe calls Politico “Journalist” Daniel Lippman and asks him to...

"Recently, Politico’s White House Reporter Daniel Lippman reached out to Project Veritas with the following email message:

Hi,
I was wondering if the Project Veritas is going to sponsor CPAC this year like it did last year, given the events of Jan. 6 (and Matt Schlapp's raising of voter fraud issues in Nov.) and how CPAC this year is going to be a Trump lovefest.
Many thanks,
Daniel

Project Veritas policy: when a “journalist” of this “caliber” reaches out with such a silly and partisan question, we simply cannot take them seriously.

You can watch my phone call with Lippman addressing his outreach here.

Initially, the plan is to play a role in the 2022 midterm elections, recruiting candidates to run in key House and Senate races and likely in Republican primaries against sitting members who voted to impeach Trump.

After Violence at the Capitol, Congress Must Ensure Election Integrity | Opinion

"...Democrats, big tech and the media are...tarring the 74 million Americans who cast votes for Donald Trump as insurrectionists and silencing legitimate dissent.

They are also pretending that Republicans who want to repair our broken election system incited the unforgivable violence in the people's house on January 6th.
...Big tech, the news media and the Democratic Party have come together to de-platform not just violent voices, but 20 million Parler users.
They've kicked Republicans who called for stability out of the tech-monopolized public square, while providing a platform for Iran's Ayatollah to spew anti-Semitism and hate.
They've proposed adding two Republican U.S. senators to the no-fly list, as if they were terrorists.
They are campaigning to get peaceful Americans who disagree with them fired.
...They are even mobilizing corporate America to withdraw its support of Republicans who are working to stop socialism and ensure that our broken election process regains respect.

...When the party that controls both the legislative and executive branches abuses its power, it is more than a destabilizing influence on our political system.

It is authoritarianism masquerading as the force that will keep America safe.

Nolte: Dear Gun-Grabbers, What's Best for 'Society' Is Not My Problem

Nolte: Dear Gun-Grabbers, What's Best for 'Society' Is Not My Problem:

If you’re a man. I don’t mean a guy. I don’t mean a male. I mean, if you’re a man, your top priority, obligation, and, yes, privilege, are the safety and well-being of your family. That’s it. That’s the only responsibility that matters. And anyone who puts anything — including what’s best for society — ahead of that responsibility, who neglects his family or who sacrifices his family’s safety and well-being on the altar of some greater good, is not a man.
