Chris Wallace reveals why he left Fox News, says people started to question truth
[TheBlaze] Prissy Wallace reveals why he left Fox News, says people started to 'question his obvious lies the truth'
Former Fox News anchor Chris Wallace abruptly departed Fox News in December. Wallace finally broke his silence as to why he left Fox News to work at CNN's new streaming service.
"Pay attention to meeeeee"
In an interview with the New York Times — his first since leaving Fox News — Wallace claimed that the top cable TV news network was headed in a direction that is "unsustainable."

"I just no longer felt comfortable with the programming at Fox," said Wallace, who had been at the network for 18 years. "But when people start to question the truth — Who won the 2020 election? Was Jan. 6 an insurrection? — I found that unsustainable."

"Before, I found it was an environment in which I could do my job and feel good about my involvement at Fox," Wallace said. "And since November of 2020, that just became unsustainable, increasingly unsustainable as time went on."

Chris Wallace — the son of iconic "60 Minutes" journalist Mike
Prozac man
Wallace and stepson of "60 Minutes" creator and former CBS News president Bill Leonard — began hosting "Fox News Sunday" in 2003 after working at ABC News since 1989 where he was a senior correspondent for "Primetime Thursday" and a substitute host at "Nightline." Wallace was previously employed at NBC News from 1982 until 1989. At the age of 16, Wallace was an assistant to legendary broadcaster Walter Cronkite.

Biden says his comment about Putin not remaining in power reflects moral outrage, not a policy change
[Yahoo] President Joe Biden on Monday said he was voicing his indignation with the barbaric invasion of Ukraine and not a U.S. policy change with his remark last weekend that Russian President Vladimir Putin "cannot remain in power."

"I'm not walking anything back," Biden said Monday from the White House. "The fact of the matter is I was expressing the moral outrage I felt toward the way Putin is dealing and the actions of this man, which is just brutality."

Biden noted that he felt that outrage after meeting with refugees in Warsaw, Poland.

"I want to make it clear, I wasn't then nor am I now articulating a policy change," he said. "I was expressing moral outrage that I feel. I make no apologies for it."

The president also said he doesn't believe his comments complicate the diplomatic efforts to end the war or escalate the hostilities.
Will no one rid me of this meddlesome priest?!?!?

He is the one who needs to be removed from power, impeached...ASAP before he gets us all killed.

Government Corruption
New report: 255,000 ‘excess votes' for Biden in six key 2020 states
[Washington Examiner] A new deep dive into discrepancies in the ballot counts of six key battleground states in the 2020 election has turned up more than 250,000 "excess votes" for President Joe Biden, and maybe far more.

The key point in the upcoming peer-reviewed study for the journal Public Choice by economist and noted gun expert John Lott Jr. is that the excess voting may challenge — or explain — Biden’s margin of victory over former President Donald Trump in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.

Alaska Corruption- Now All Mail-In Ballots and No Signature Check
[GatewayPundit] In the upcoming election in Alaska, two major changes will take effect that will destroy free and fair elections in the state forever. According to Joel Davidson at Alaska Watch:

Alaska’s Division of Elections will not verify the authenticity of voter signatures on the ballots cast in the upcoming June 11 special statewide primary to replace Rep. Don Young.

“There is no statutory authority to verify signatures, but voters will have to provide witness signatures,” a March 25 email from Alaska’s Division of Elections stated.

Since this will be the first time Alaska has ever conducted a statewide mail-in election, concerns have been raised about how the state will ensure that voters are who they claim to be.

Nationally, the most common way of verifying mail-in ballots is to have elections officials verify that a voter’s signature matches the signature on file with the division of elections.

The state won’t pass bills that prevent voter fraud through the verification of signatures.

Multiple bills have been introduced in the current legislative session to address voter integrity issues, including voter signature verification, but they have languished in various House and Senate committee assignments. Lt. Gov. Kevin Meyer submitted legislation to the current Legislature to address this issue, but his Senate Bill 167 has languished in the Senate State Affairs Committee since Jan. 18th with no movement. Several other bills dealing with voter signature verification have been introduced, including House Bill 96 by Gov. Mike Dunleavy. That bill has stalled in the House State Affairs Committee.

Because of this, the upcoming election will be mail-in ballots but no signatures will be checked. What could go wrong?

In addition, Alaska’s voter rolls are outdated and include more names than registered voters.

Since Alaska has one of the most bloated voter registration rolls in the nation, it is a certainty that thousands of mail-in ballots will be sent to outdated addresses where the voter on file no longer resides.

Alaska’s state’s voter rolls ballooned to 103% of registrations as of 2018 – the highest in the nation by a wide margin. That means there are tens of thousands of registered voters who either no longer live in Alaska or have died. And the predicament isn’t getting any better. In 2020 Alaska’s voter registration skyrocketed to 118%. This mounting problem coincides with a 2016 law which allowed the state to automatically register Alaskans when they apply for a PFD.

NBC Poll: Biden Approval at 'Catastrophic' Low of Presidency, 40 Percent
[Newsmax] With Russia waging war on Ukraine and talking use of tactical nuclear weapons — while inflation rages at home — President Joe Biden's approval rating (40%) has reached a new low in the latest NBC News poll.

Also, in an ominous midterm sign for Democrats, registered voters favor Republicans as the party of choice to hold the majority in Congress for the first time since 2014.

"What this poll says is that President Biden and Democrats are headed for a catastrophic election," NBC News pollster Bill McInturff said.

Biden's 40% approval rating is not just the lowest of his presidency, but 70% of Americans have low confidence in Biden's ability to deal with Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine and a plurality of blame Biden and his policies for high and steady inflation in the economy.

Also, 80% fear the war will raise gas prices and possibly devolve into nuclear war and overwhelming majorities (71%) say they believe the country is headed in the wrong direction and disapproved of the president's handling of the economy, with only 33% approving, according to NBC.

"One thing that has not happened — at least yet — is a rally around the flag reaction with Joe Biden's job rating increasing," Democrat pollster Jeff Horwitt said for NBC News, putting an impending positive spin on the negative findings. "The potential for that to occur could still happen if America becomes more directly involved, but at this stage it is not there."

Biden's disapproval has ticked up to 55% in the poll.

"You cannot get down to the low 40s in presidential approval, unless you have strained your own base," McInturff told NBC.

There were 46% of registered voters who favored Republicans to control Congress after the midterms. Republicans have not held that edge since 2014, which was the last midterm election of former President Barack Obama's administration.

NBC News polled 1,000 adults March 18-22 — and 790 registered voters — with margins of error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points and 3.49 percentage points for the respective sample sizes.

#1  ...If he were to do just ONE thing - reverse the destruction of the Trump era energy policies - Biden could reverse a lot of this literally overnight.

But he won't. At this point, all I can do is look at this as the most masochistic Administration in US history, and hope they break before we do.

#2  Also, 80% fear the war will raise gas prices and possibly devolve into nuclear war

It's just a regional conflict that has nothing to do with the US. Biden's foolish policies are the reason for high gas prices and the risk of nuclear war.

If he were to do just ONE thing - reverse the destruction of the Trump era energy policies - Biden could reverse a lot of this literally overnight.

Biden's brinkmanship and stupid bully boy threats are far more dangerous than his domestic energy policies. His sanctions policy is already doing more to raise prices for everything than anything he did previously. Sanctions on wheat and fertilizer alone will lead to starvation for millions of people in the Near East and Africa.

Of all the stupid things Biden's done, the sanctions are the dumbest.

Next week, the White House will honor Lizzy Borden


Today the Biden White House released accolades for a woman who praised Osama bin Laden and China’s Chairman Mao’s Great Leap Forward.

“I consider Usama bin Laden as one of the people that I admire. To me, he is in the category of Malcolm X, Che Guevara, Patrice Lumumba, Fidel Castro," Kochiyama said after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. "I thank Islam for bin Laden. America's greed, aggressiveness and self-righteous arrogance must be stopped. War and weaponry must be abolished."
Yuri Kochiyama

FOX News reports:
The White House Initiative on Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders (WHIAANHPI) posted a celebration of Women’s History Month Friday honoring activist Yuri Kochiyama, who was a public admirer of terrorist Usama bin Laden.

Kochiyama was a Japanese-American activist for communism and racial equality during the 20th century. Kochiyama’s career as an activist was a controversial and volatile one. A victim of violent U.S. discrimination and an early voice for racial harmony, she also championed Chairman Mao’s Great Leap Forward and was an advocate for terrorists.

The WHAANHPI honored Kochiyama’s "political and civil rights" work but backed away from mentioning her support for bin Laden.

In 2010, she received an honorary doctorate from California State University, East Bay.

Of course Google featured Yuri Kochiyama, who openly admitted that she admired Usama Bin Laden, on its homepage.

Schumer vows to fight Biden admin plan to close two NYC veterans hospitals
[NYPOST] Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer
...Senator-for-life from New York, renowned for his love of standing in front of cameras and microphones. Schumer has been a professional politician since 1975, when disco was in flower, which is 46.30695 years. Senate minority leader as of 2017...
vowed Sunday to fight "tooth and nail" against the Biden administration’s plan to close two Big Apple hospitals dedicated to caring for hundreds of thousands of New York City veterans.

Schumer (D-NY) announced he is starting a petition drive in the five boroughs in opposition to the federal Department of Veteran Affairs preparing to close two of the Big Apple’s three local VA hospitals.

"We are going to fight this proposal tooth and nail. We are going to put a dagger through its heart, and it’s not going to see the light of day," he said at a Sunday morning presser, while flanked by war veterans and elected officials in front of a Veterans Administration hospital in Manhattan.

"These are the people who risked their lives for us, and the only thing we said in return is, ’You’ll get good healthcare.’ These facilities give good healthcare," he added. "We’re not going to take them away.

"Who is going to take care of them? We are not going to turn our back on these veterans, plain and simple."

About 210,000 military veterans live in the five boroughs, according to the city Department of Veterans’ Services.

President Biden's Putin speech in Poland is a catastrophe
[NYPOST] He came, he saw, he confused.

Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. Former Senator-for-Life from Delaware, an example of the kind of top-notch Washington intellect to be found in the World's Greatest Deliberative Body....
’s call-to-arms speech in Poland was long on soaring rhetoric about the virtues of democracy but woefully short on what more the West will do to help Ukraine defeat the Russian invasion. But by the time he got to the finish, most of that was forgotten.

What mattered most and what will be remembered for a long time was a single line the president of the United States said about the president of Russia: "For God’s sake, this man cannot remain in power."

In the context of the speech and the slaughter of Ukrainian civilians, it’s impossible to understand that line as anything other than a call for regime change, a move that would dramatically raise the stakes with Russia at a time when Biden has been at pains to lower them.

It also raises the question of whether toppling Putin, a subject never before mentioned by the White House, is suddenly the new policy of the United States and NATO
...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A collection of multinational and multilingual and multicultural armed forces, all of differing capabilities, working toward a common goal by pulling in different directions...
Ah, no.

Shortly after the speech, a Biden aide told pool news hounds that "the president’s point was that Putin cannot be allowed to exercise power over his neighbors or the region. He was not discussing Putin’s power in Russia, or regime change."

Biden to propose new 'billionaire's tax' on richest Americans
[NYPOST] The Biden Administration is poised to announce a new tax on the wealthy that could send Elon Musk into orbit.
Also biting the hands of all the internet/SiliconValley billionaires...and multimillionaires by the time they’re done.
Biden’s "Billionaire Minimum Income Tax" proposal would set a 20 percent tax rate floor on Americans worth more than $100 million
Tolja so.
— hitting not only their stated income, but also their unrealized gains on stock holdings and other forms of wealth.

The plan will be included in the budget proposal that the White House will roll out Monday, the Washington Post reported.

Musk attacked a version of the plan in October, when it was being considered as a way to help pay for Biden’s since-abandoned "Build Back Better" social spending bill.

"Eventually, they run out of other people’s money and then they come for you," the multi-billionaire Tesla CEO and SpaceX founder posted on Twitter last year.

The proposal would cut projected federal deficits by more than $1 trillion over the next decade, according to a fact sheet released Saturday by the White House Budget Office.

Biden’s new tax could raise up to $360 billion over 10 years, say the aides who developed it, and would fall on the richest 700 Americans.

PROPOSE ALL HE WANTS
The uber/elite $$$$$ will either move their $$$$ to international locations or have Congressional purchased puppets adjust the tax code for them.

Seriously, America was told by the DEMOCRATS that the 1913 Income Tax laws were aimed at the Super Rich (class warfare). Look what it has become now. In 1913 it was a 400-page legal information document, today it is over 74,000 pages full of Loop Holes for the Rich.

The 1913 Tax Table was basically 1% ($20K in 1913 $$) to 7% ($500K in 1913$$ ) with normal income earners paying near nothing, IF at all.

BTW: $20,000 (1913) adjusted for inflation is $573,163.64 in 2022 and $500,000 adjust for inflation is $14,329,090.91 in 2022,

SO until we have a Simplified 10% Flat Tax applied to all, and DC learns to live with a budget based on the previous years' collected revenues, there will be no equality.

#2  Eventually, the tax will roll down through the millionaires and finally to us thousandaires. By then we will all be share cropping soy beans as we enjoy our promised happiness without possessions, as George Soros’s diembodied brain floats tranquilly suspended by electrodes in a vat of clear gooey stuff.

Class warfare, social warfare so ugly.

Doesn’t he just look precious? Associate professors need to get the right kind of attention if they’re to have any chance of becoming tenured. Hating the right people is a start.
