Mangalore, India -- An Indian gentleman was arrested at the Mangalore Airport Saturday for being caught with his pants down and then being found to have gold concealed in his nether regions [aka boof, aka hockey box]. Smuggling gold to avoid paying the 18% tax is certainly not a novel idea, but in this case, it was more than simply a pain in the Don Lemon.
The Times of India reported that the traveler is from Kasarago, Kerala on his way home from Dubai. He was pulled aside after completing his return flight and after additional screening, it was discovered that he was carrying .0587 kg of 24 carat gold paste in his truffle tunnel.
The gold was seized and the passenger arrested under India's stinking local smuggling laws.
Last year a brazen dude was caught with TWO POUNDS of gold in his out-pipe. Two. Freaking. Pounds.
That's gotta hurt, especially getting caught.

A report from Politico states that the Biden administration is busting their butts in an attempt to actually fulfill a promise they made about how they're going to handle the COVID-19 pandemic. Funny thing, they apparently lost track of as many as 20 million doses that were sent to states.
It looks like Biden and his buddies are finding out that his promises are easier to make than they are to keep. and the report also notes that the Biden administration has basically gotten rid of the coronavirus response plan that was in place now that Joe has removed his head from his nether regions.
Talk was cheap.
Predictably, Biden administration officials blamed the missing vaccines on the Trump administration and, no so predictably, Trump has remained silent and this scares the crap out of them as his popularity soars whenever he doesn't tweet what comes to mind.
The Politico report also notes that administration officials have discovered that the available stockpile of vaccine is "mostly empty," and are scratching their heads and all to figure out how to meet Biden's initial goal of 100 million vaccination doses in his first 100 days. But even that number was widely criticized as being too modest as it was only slightly more than the Trump administration ended their final days being able to produce.
The shortage of vaccine supply is said to have caught the Biden administration by surprise, which often happens to those people whose heads are wandering their nether regions looking for a pleasant way out.
According to Politico, the vaccine shortage may not be assuaged by late this summer and this might translate into the country unable to resume life as it should be lived.
Miss Trump yet?

Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) said that Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-NY) was implicated in a "criminal corruption scandal" regarding New York's reported undercounting of coronavirus deaths in the state's nursing homes.
Stefanik spoke on Fox News' "The Story" with Martha MacCallum saying that New York lawmakers must hold Cuomo accountable for the state's serious underreporting of their death count in nursing homes.
Never admitting blame or responsibility when he has screwed the pooch, Cuomo defended his policy by insisting he followed federal guidelines at the time. If that was true, then why were other states not doing what Cuomo mandated: requiring nursing homes to take back COVID-positive patients from hospitals?
The fact is, the guidelines specifically required that nursing homes meet strict standards and have special equipment before being allowed to take back COVID residents. Cuomo failed to take the guidelines seriously.
"This is the governor who has pointed fingers at everyone. He's pointed fingers at President Trump. He's pointed fingers at the seniors themselves, at the nursing homes, basically blaming everyone but himself," Stefanik said.
Cuomo is a garbage governor, a liar and an incompetent leader, in the opinion of many who get their news from more than leftist sources.
Stefanik went after the media and CNN in particular for its coverage of the failed governor, whose brother Chris "Fredo" Cuomo is a primetime anchor of a far-left show. On it, Fredo did an insensitive comedy act with his brother in the middle of the pandemic.
"It is a disgrace that CNN allows Chris Cuomo to just invite his brother and do those ridiculous fawning interviews. It’s an embarrassment now to the media," she said, not realizing that for CNN to be embarrassed, they need to have a modicum of self-awareness.
Stefanik said in the interview:
"This is the governor who has pointed fingers at everyone. He's pointed fingers at President Trump. He's pointed fingers at the seniors themselves, at the nursing homes, basically blaming everyone but himself. In terms of following federal guidance, it is very clear that Governor Cuomo made the decision to put forth his executive order on March 25 requiring nursing homes to accept positive COVID patients, regardless of their ability to isolate those patients and have proper PPE ...
"My thoughts are this governor has avoided the truth for months and months and months. The reason why this is a criminal corruption scandal and not just a nursing home scandal is that they have known for months what the true count of deaths in nursing homes [was], whether it was in a hospital from a nursing home, or an individual who passed away in the nursing home and they have withheld that from the public ...There needs to be subpoenas issued immediately. Both Democrats and Republicans in the State Senate and State Assembly have agreed to that ..."
Let's not forget how Cuomo and New Jersey's Governor Murphy both complimented then President Trump for the federal assistance they received from his administration. New York, for example, received an entire hospital ship and respirators that ended up in excess or was underused by Cuomo.
But who are we kidding? These people are rarely held accountable for what should be described as criminal behavior.

A man with a history of driving violations repeatedly drove into people along the streets and sidewalks in Portland, Oregon on Monday. The driver killed 77-year-old Jean Gerich, who died of blunt force trauma, according to the Oregon State Medical Examiner, who ruled the death a homicide.
People at the scene tried in vain to help her.
“Jean Gerich was not a nameless victim. She was a loving mother of two. She was a proud grandmother of five, ages 4 to 16. She would have turned 78 in twelve days. She beat cancer five years ago. She received her first vaccination shot last week and was overjoyed to get out in the world again,” the family said.
The driver, whose name will not be used here because he doesn't deserve the anonymity, ran from the scene but was surrounded by neighbors and held until the police arrived and wrestled him into custody.
The other five victims were taken to hospitals but authorities said they believe more people were hurt who did not require ambulance transport.
The first call came in at around 1:00 p.m. saying that a driver hit a pedestrian. Soon more calls followed saying that a person driving the same suspect vehicle, a Honda Element, was striking other people and vehicles.
Ms. Gerich had an appointment with Larry Wolfe that day and he told The Oregonian/OregonLive that he saw her get hit by the car and scream as he was walking toward her. Then the car came back and hit her again, did a U-turn and dragged her along the street.
The scumbag eventually crashed the Honda one final time, fled on foot but was stopped and held for police.
The police found no bias or terrorism motive as the catalyst for the rampage but the driver who was from Oregon City. But they did say the driver's actions showed he intended to injure people, but that “detectives did not find evidence that this was an act of terrorism. Detectives did not find bias indicators, nor do they believe this is politically motivated.”
According to The Oregonian, the driver had a history of dangerous driving, citing court records that indicate his license was reinstated in 2014 after three convictions for failing to obey traffic signs in 2017, 2011, and 2013.
He was booked into the Multnomah County Detention Center on initial charges of second-degree murder, assault and failure to perform the duties of a driver, the Portland Police Bureau said in a news release.

The illegitimate impeachment of former President Donald Trump has become a total crap-fest.
First, Justice John Roberts decided not to preside over the trial because Trump is out of office and a private citizen and the U.S. Constitution is clear that the purpose of impeachment is to remove a president from office.
Now, the person who was tasked to take Justice Roberts' place, Democrat Sen. Patrick Leahy (VT), an 80-year-old leftist, has been hospitalized Tuesday because he does not feel well.
Leahy was examined in his Capitol office by the attending physician, according to David Carle, his spokesman.
“Out of an abundance of caution, the Attending Physician recommended that he be taken to a local hospital for observation, where he is now, and where he is being evaluated,” Carle said.
Leahy’s hospitalization comes hours after he was sworn in to preside over the Senate’s impeachment trial. The proceedings are expected to begin the week of Feb. 8, but it appears divine intervention has thrown a monkey wrench into the engine of Trump hatred disguised as democracy.
Leahy, the Senate president pro tempore, is constitutionally the second-highest-ranking official in the upper chamber behind Vice President Harris, who is the president of the Senate under Article I. He is third in line in the order of presidential succession after Harris and Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA).
The Vermont lawmaker was first elected to the Senate in 1974. He is the only sitting senator to have served during the Ford administration and one of only two to have served during the Carter administration while doing nothing useful for the nation.
It was not immediately clear if Leahy is faking it or if he's really sick and will be able to head the proceedings, but whether or not he is able to be at the proceedings is a moot point because Donald Trump will not be found guilty because, while he may say stupid or wild things, he is not guilty.
In fact, Adam Schiff, Maxine Waters, Bernie Sanders, Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi and others on the left have done much more to incite violence.

No longer can we say whatever we want to say in the formerly free speech country known as the USA. We can no longer call the China Virus the China Virus. We have to call it something other than the China Virus, and I know that all good Americans will stop calling the China Virus the China Virus and use a more neutral, less racist term.
In spite of the fact that Wuhan is a city located in China, and is also the city where the China Virus [that will not be called as such] originated, we must think of the China Virus as simply a virus that comes from our planet, who knows where.
So perhaps we can refer to the China Virus as the Oriental Virus not necessarily from China. Or maybe call the China Virus the Virus of Mystery.
As for me, I will not call the China Virus the China Virus. That would somehow be racist. Hey, let's call it the XI Virus.
COVID? Maybe it really stands for China Originating Virus I Declare.

White House press secretary Jen Psaki suggested that Florida is lagging behind in vaccine distribution since Gov. Ron DeSantis is holding the second dose of vaccine for the elderly who already received the first dose, because without the second dose, a person isn't fully inoculated against the dreaded virus and the elderly are the most vulnerable to it.
DeSantis hit back on Tuesday in a statement directed to Psaki's vile insinuation designed to further divide the nation. He called the ginger "totally disingenuous," and noted why the doses are being held back. If they weren't, what would be the point of a first dose?
“The insinuation that Florida is underutilizing vaccines in totally disingenuous. Florida is number one in the country among the top 10 most populous states for vaccine doses per capita. Additionally, Florida is averaging more than 300,000 first does per week but we are not going to divert second doses away from our seniors,” DeSantis said in a statement.
“If the implication is that we should be giving those second doses away to other people, that is not the way the FDA has prescribed the series. We are also number one in the nation by far in vaccinations of seniors, as Florida has vaccinated more than 1 million seniors 65 and older to date,” the Republican governor continued. “If we are given additional first doses, we are ready to double our output. The possibilities are endless here in Florida, but it is contingent on us getting additional supply from the federal government. We are committed to ensuring our seniors are the priority and get their second dose, and if the White House is suggesting that we shouldn’t be doing that, I don’t think that’s a good suggestion.”
Meanwhile, California, New York, and New Jersey are having their elderly populations, all in Democrat-run states, dying in the greatest numbers per capita, in spite of Emmy Award-winning Andrew Cuomo writing a self-congratulatory book about the wonderful job he is doing.
Funny, but you don't hear the White House, Psaki or the legacy media mentioning that little factoid.
And while these idiots have the schools closed, in spite of the nearly zero chance a young child would die of COVID or spread it, they keep the bars open so the teachers will have a place to recreate.
Tell me this hasn't become a totally political issue.

The New York Times a former newspaper has declared that President Joseph Robinette Biden is the most religiously "observant" president in 50 years, maybe even more. After all, he often says things in reference to God: "God willing;" "Your God-given right;" "As God is my witness;" and other statements like that. It's almost as if he has a special relationship with God.
But probably not so much.
Biden calls himself a Catholic while advocating the killing of the unborn, which sounds so medical when called "abortion."
Biden would argue with that by claiming, "if you don't believe that killing babies is okay, you ain't Catholic."
So when the paper best used as bird cage liner said Biden is "perhaps the most religiously observant commander in chief in half a century" in their story published Saturday, conservatives and other pundits hit back.
Some pointed out how George W. Bush and Jimmy Carter were more outspoken about their Christian faith.
Pastor and author Daniel Darling posted on Twitter:
"George W Bush said Jesus Christ was his favorite philosopher and credited Billy Graham with changing his life. Jimmy Carter taught Sunday School. Cmon."
The Washington Examiner's Seth Mandel also went on Twitter and sarcastically posted:
"He's more religiously observant than the Republicans you told us were turning the country into a Christian theocracy?"
The Times article posits that Biden was reflecting the Pope's left-leaning focus on "environmental protection, poverty and migration."
But Biden does not reflect any Pope's pro-life values or any tenets of the Catholic Church, whereas former President Trump, actually was pro-life.
The New York Times is just another left-wing rag, one of many that attacked a true Catholic--Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett--for her religious belief because she was nominated by President Trump. This was pointed out by Daily Caller News Foundation's Mary Margaret Olohan who posted on Twitter:
"Lest we forget, the media roundly mocked Amy Coney Barrett's Catholicism. Her adherence to Catholic principle was used to suggest that she was unfit to be a Supreme Court justice. People suggested her large family was extreme and that she adopted her children for show,"
Catholic bishops aren't very happy with Biden's stance on the unborn and his executive order on applying anti-discrimination protections to certain groups.
The bishops argue the EO didn't properly account for religious liberty and furthered "false theories on human sexuality." Specifically, Biden's executive order allows transgender "girls" to compete against real girls in athletic competition.
Not to mention Biden's long history of unwanted touching women and girls inappropriately and claims made by Tara Reide Moulton, a former congressional aide, who affirms that Biden was sexually abusive to her.
Hey, that's just Joe being Joe. Nothing to see here.

Joe Biden is now the 46th President of the United States of America!
The sun is shining, the birds are singing, squirrels are hiding their nuts, flowers are blooming somewhere, and silent farts smell like rose petals.
My tears flow unabashedly along the cheeks of my face knowing that Joseph Robinette Biden is putting America on course to a 'build back better bigger brighter booming economy.'
Yes, the lights along the mall at the Lincoln Memorial on Inauguration Day were like giant, loving arms, hugging America, and every executive order that the evil Donald Trump had signed has finally been negated.
President Biden has already courageously signed 30 executive orders while having no idea of what they are or what their impact will have on the free world. That take balls of steel or perhaps a dose of dementia.
No longer will mediocre male high school and college athletes, who identify as females, have to compete against fellow fellows--they will now be allowed to compete against biological females and boy, will they kick ass and take scholarships and trophies. [Sorry girls.]
Can you spot the transgender "girl" in the photos below?
No longer will we need to get our oil from Canada through the Keystone XL pipeline. Who cares about Canada anyhow? Maple syrup is overrated.
Now we can get oil from our real ally, Saudi Arabia, and have it delivered on boats and then along highways and rails, where it doesn't spill all the time, like it never does with a pipeline.
People on the left believe Biden has a hidden earpiece with a voice telling him what to do: "Salute the Marines." "Wave at the crowd." "Stand up straight." "Flip a smile." "Give 'em a hearty 'C'mon, man.'" "Jill is your wife. Her name is Jill."
If he does, indeed, have an earpiece, then it has to be connected to God almighty, because he isn't Donald Trump and you know I wouldn't lie to you.
As former President Barack Hussein Obama told Biden [and what's with the Robinette? Is he a little bird with a red breast?] when he revealed that he was planning to run for president: "You don't have to do this, Joe. You really don't."
But he did and now we're stuck.

President Biden has nominated Boston Mayor Martin Walsh as Labor Secretary. The problem is, Walsh himself hired former Massachusetts state representative Carlos Henriquez as special assistant in 2018. The problem is, Henriquez had been convicted, several years prior to his being hired, for punching a woman who refused to have sex with him.
Thus, Henriquez, ever the ladies' man, was kicked out of the state House of Representatives in 2014 after being convicted of two, not one, assault charges stemming from the 2012 incident. He was sentenced to only six months in the slammer.
According to the victim in the assault, she testified that Henriquez gave her the back of his hand and punched her in the chest multiple times.
Henriquez claimed innocence throughout the trial, but this time, the "believe all women" thingy worked against him.
After he was convicted and sentenced, he claimed that "any and all contact was always consensual" and maintained that he "never touched my accuser in any way that would cause harm or injury."
But the joke was on Boston after Walsh hired the convicted Democrat to an annual $89,000 special assistant job involving anti-violence work in 2018. Walsh, who was caught with his proverbial pants down by the Boston Globe, said at the time, that he "firmly believed in second chances."
"Carlos Henriquez served his time and, after spending his career supporting youth, helping reduce violence, assisting those in recovery, and providing trauma supports for families in need, he is eager to continue this work," a hired mouthpiece for Walsh told the newspaper.
However, just 14 days or so after the hiring, the convicted domestic abuser stepped down from his job with Walsh, who told the Boston Globe that he criticized Henriquez when he was first convicted in 2014,
But two weeks later on Nov. 9 of 2018, Henriquez stepped down from his role with the Mayor. Walsh then told the Boston Globe that he criticized Henriquez when he was convicted in 2014 and had asked him to resign from the state legislature at the time. What that had to do with the scumbag's resignation is unclear.
"I also made clear at that time, and continue to believe today, that any violence against any woman at any time is totally unacceptable," the Boston Mayor told the newspaper.
So why did Walsh hire him afterward? Is his judgment that poor, and if so, doesn't that say something about Biden's judgment?

It's becoming increasingly disgusting how many celebrities and politicians on the left constantly defame, slander and insult the millions of Americans who think differently than they do.
After the great Alex Trebek died of cancer in early November last year, "Jeopardy" producers have been looking for his replacement, a very difficult task for one so loved by so many. One of the people they thought might fit the bill is Katie Couric.
However, last week, Couric appeared on "Real Time with Bill Maher" where she bad-mouthed former President Trump in his final days in office. That isn't unusual for the left, who pretend to do such a thing is "brave." What she did that made headlines were her statements about Trump's Capitol Hill backers who supported his election challenge.
"It is so shocking. ... Not only are they not conceding, Bill, but their thoughts -- that there might have been some collusion among members of Congress, some are refusing to go through magnetometers ... to check for weapons, they're not wearing masks during this siege," Couric began.
"I mean, it's really bizarre, isn't it, when you think about how AWOL so many of these members of Congress have gotten. But I also think some of them are believing the garbage that they are being fed 24/7 on the internet, by their constituents, and they bought into this big lie. And the question is how are we going to really almost deprogram these people who have signed up for the cult of Trump."
"Deprogram." She said "deprogram."
According to the New York Post's "Page Six," some of the heads of "Jeopardy" were "immediately worried" about her gum-flapping.
Page Six reports that, according to a source, the "Jeopardy" audience is "very conservative" and the game show had "always steered clear of politics."
Why can't people keep politics out of everything? I know, I know, Brain Flushings is about politics, but that's the purpose of the blog. The purpose of "Jeopardy" is to entertain.
"Katie’s comments so soon after she was announced as a host are very concerning to the producers. They are worried there will be a backlash against her. There has already been some complaints," the anonymous source told Page Six.
"Jeopardy viewers are quite a traditional bunch, and there’s fears she might be too polarizing after this. At the very least, she already appears to have ruled herself out of becoming the permanent host of the show," the source continued.
Well, you have to give the producers credit for understanding their audience. Couric is now tainted and anyone who follows the news and watches the show will know that.
It's ironic and almost funny [but not funny] that Couric and other journalists do not want opinions that differ from theirs. In fact, journalism in its pure form, is not supposed to unveil the opinions of the journalists. That's why we have opinion journalists as differentiated from pure journalists.
One should never know how a pure journalist votes in an election. Brett Baier comes to mind as a pure journalist while Sean Hannity is clearly an opinion journalists and admits it--unlike the opinion people at the Compromised News Network [aka CNN].
Couric's comments about how the GOP needs to be "deprogrammed" did not go unnoticed.
Joe Concha a columnist for "The Hill," told Fox News:
"This sort of rhetoric from Couric — which comes across as so condescending and elitist — underscores the divide between our media, which primarily resides in New York and Washington, and the rest of the country, which is moderate to center-right, per multiple polls. And it’s why the industry is so mistrusted and frowned upon."
Hopefully Couric talked herself out of the job.
Others set to guest host include "Jeopardy!" champion Ken Jennings, actress Mayim Bialik of the "Big Bang Theory," and NFL Quarterback fo the Greenbay Packers, Aaron Rodgers.

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) along with her comrades on the left, want President Biden to keep on giving money to people rather than the one-off stimulus checks during the China virus pandemic. Now that Biden admitted that he isn't really able to do much to quell the virus as it runs its course, that will turn out to be a lot of money with no incentive for people to return to work.
Biden called on Congress in the "American Rescue Plan," to approve a mere $1.9 TRILLION package that includes a pittance of $1,400 for things like gasoline and gum and perhaps a month's rent for the masses who are being kept from earning a living. Omar and her progressive squad of socialists cum communists, cum anti-Semites, agree that it doesn't go far enough.
Of course, it would not need to go far enough if businesses were allowed to be open and honest precautions are taken. The first business that needs to open is the business of educating our kids, who are the least vulnerable to the coronavirus. But since taxpayers fund public schools, teachers unions are in no rush to have teachers go back to the classroom.
Omar, the Congressional Progressive Caucus whip and who was alleged to have married her brother, and may have committed election violations in her state of Minnesota, tweeted that she was "circulating a letter to Biden" pushing for the recurring payments. She also tweeted her support for Sen. Ed Markey (D-MA) who called for "recurring $2,000 checks" until hell freezes over or the virus is whipped.
Omar said the recurring cash payments should "continue until the economy recovers with equal payments to adults and dependents," among other bullcrap stipulations. The letter did not detail what her proposal would cost but since it doesn't come from her pocket, it's of no worries for her.
There's no question that $1,400 payments is going to make much difference to families struggling because Democratic governors and other leaders refuses to let people safely return to work. But throwing money at the problem is not going to solve it. Businesses must re-open now.
Biden is also increasing the minimum wage to $15 per hour. This is a handy way to put millions of people out of work, especially those who are either young and in school, and those in the lower socio-economic category.

You never know with a kidder like Joe. Was he being serious about wearing a mask for 100 days, or was he pulling the hairs on our legs? Did he mean it when he said that this is the best way to prevent the spread of COVID-19? Does he really follow the science and are there times when he didn't? Is he as demented and confused as he seems to be, or is he just pretending?
Now that Biden is president he has shown America that if you just hang around in politics long enough, and play to the crowd and don't get caught with a tent in your pants, but even if you do [like with Tara Reade] you deny and walk away from the cameras, you too can become President.
Biden at "Half Mask"
And now that Joe is the head honcho, not wearing a mask is okay if you're on the correct side of the aisle and are going mask-less because you're "celebrating" a Democratic victory.
Joe Biden, his doctor wife Jill, and the family, took a photo op at the Lincoln Memorial, which is a federal site. Biden had mandated that MASKS MUST BE WORN AT ALL FEDERAL SITES, and he assured us that he means it and he isn't kidding.
So you'd think, hey, c'mon man, I bet Joe and his loved ones, like Hunter and Doctor Jill, wear masks at federal sites and I wouldn't even be surprised if Joe wears a mask even on the toilet because it's a federal toilet at the White House.
But you would be wrong.
On Wednesday, he and the Biden gang were photographed in violation of his own mandate. His press secretary, the illustrious and beautiful Jen Psaki, dismissed Fox News' WH correspondent Peter Douci's question about that little fact.
"He was celebrating an evening of a historic day," Psaki said Thursday. "I think we have bigger issues to worry about at this moment in time."
Bad answer. There is no bigger issue than COVID-19 right now, and the only exception might be something like: "Missiles heading toward the USA from China." So Psaki's excuse sounded like something Joe or Doctor Jill might have told her. to say.
Douci should have followed up with: "What's a bigger issue than COVID?"
Biden and his "Cool Aviator" look
Biden implored Americans to "mask up" in a tweet that announced his executive order. "Wearing masks isn't a partisan issue," he tweeted. "It's a patriotic act that can save countless lives."
Actually, there's apparently no clear proof of that claim, but hey, 'follow the science' sounds like a great plan.
Several hours before Biden announced his executive order, he mush-mouthed his Inaugural Address, in which he muttered that his administration would "lead not merely by the example of our power, but by the power of our example."
Judging from his words, we can all feel comfortable not wearing masks at important photo ops and left-wing riots, but not if we're Republicans [aka White supremacists, neo-Nazis].
The next 4 years is going to be fun just watching how the media has Joe's back. On the other hand, will he really be able to finish out his full term, with his declining mental status and Kamala Harris chomping at the bit?

Canada Prime Minister Justin Trudeau along with other Canadian lawmakers are "deeply disturbed" over President Joseph Biden's quick move to undo everything former President Trump has done for no other reason than they hate Donald Trump. In this case, the reference being made is to the Keystone XL pipeline that was green- lighted in 2017 by Trump. [H/T: New York Post]
On a positive note, this has united Canada in their disgust over Biden's brainless decision, but they are trying their best to hide it.
As one of his first mindless acts, Biden rescinded a permit for the pipeline to transport oil from Canada to the Gulf Coast. The pipeline has been controversial and a target by environmental activists and Democrats who would do anything for their votes. The goal is to stop the use of fossil fuels in North America, with the only alternative of getting fossil fuel from Saudi Arabia at significantly higher prices that they dictate.
“While we welcome the President’s commitment to fight climate change, we are disappointed but acknowledge the President’s decision to fulfill his election campaign promise on Keystone XL,” Trudeau said in a statement, according to the New York Post.
“Canada is the single-largest supplier of energy to the United States, contributing to U.S. energy security and economic competitiveness, and supporting thousands of jobs on both sides of the border,” the young, former night club bouncer, and skate board instructor and now Prime Minister continued. “Workers in Alberta, Saskatchewan, and across Canada will always have our support.”
Trudeau is also the son of the late former PM Pierre Trudeau, which explains why he was able to be voted into the leadership position.
Alberta Premier [a Premier is akin to our governor position] Jason Kenney said he was “deeply disturbed” by Biden’s decision to stop work on the $8 billion project. Kenney had threatened legal action earlier in the week after reports of Biden’s intent to kill the pipeline surfaced.
“This is a gut punch for the Canadian and Alberta economies. Sadly it is an insult directed at the United States’ most important ally and trading partner,” Kenney said at a news conference, according to Reuters.
TC Energy Corp., an Alberta-based company, announced it had suspended work on the Keystone XL pipeline on Wednesday ahead of Biden’s inauguration and in anticipation of the U.S. president’s revocation of the pipeline’s permit.
The Keystone Pipeline System runs from Alberta, Canada, through North Dakota to refineries in Illinois and Texas. The Keystone XL addition is under construction in Canada and would have carried over 830,000 barrels of crude oil a day from Canada through North Dakota to Nebraska. From Nebraska, existing pipelines would carry the crude to refineries on the U.S. Gulf Coast.
This would keep our energy costs low and our energy dependence within our borders. Allowing the Saudis to control our energy supply is not very different than allowing China to control our pharmaceutical supplies.
I hope Biden rethinks his policies, if he's able to really think very much at all.

In an overt and blatant display of American racism, the Biden inauguration featured hundreds of "Betsy Ross Flags" at the national event.
The flag has been deemed racist by the esteemed esteemed average former NFL quarterback, Colin Kaepernick who had insisted Nike, the corporate giant he represented, remove the flag logo from the rear of its shoe. Nike, agreeing with the big haired former average football player, removed it at once, only to be stuck out in front of our noses at Biden's white supremacy-themed inauguration.
Betsy Ross and her husband operated an upholstery shop in Philadelphia around the time of the American Revolution. However, more recently, the flag has been adopted by white supremacist groups such as "Skinheads," neo-Nazis, as well as the Ku Klux Klan and other nationalist organizations.
However, the Anti-Defamation League, which monitors racist hate symbols does not list the "Betsy Ross Flag" in its huge database and Kaepernick may soon see to it that it does.
In the old days, going back at least six months, everyone disagreeing with progressive and leftist ideology, was considered a racist, but the term no longer holds the same clout it once held, so now the term "white supremacist" has been substituted for it.
If you voted for Trump, you're a white supremacist, even if you aren't white nor think you're better than any other racial group.
But the sheer audacity of Joseph Robinette Biden, Junior to use the "Betsy Ross Flag" at a presidential inauguration. And did you notice, when Lady Gaga sang the National Anthem, not one person had the guts to take a knee? It was horrible how the nation has turned so quickly and became white supremacists now that President Trump has left office.
Ms. Gaga refused to sing from her knees as any non-white supreamacist would have done.
Impeach Biden. We don't want a white supremacist leading the country. It can only lead to bad things.

If the left didn't have identity politics in their tool bag, they'd have nothing in it at all.
President Joseph Robinette Biden has chosen Dr. Rachel Levine, a man who thinks he's a woman, for his assistant health secretary. Levine is now poised to become the first gender dysphoric person to be confirmed by the U.S. Senate.
Levine is a pediatrician and former Pennsylvania physician general and was appointed to his current post by Gov. Tom Wolf (D-of course) in 2017. This makes Levine one of the few gender dysmorphic people serving in elected or appointed positions nationwide.
Levine is best known by conservatives as the guy who sent COVID-19 patients back to their Pennsylvania nursing homes to die, while removing his own mother to live.
“Dr. Rachel Levine will bring the steady leadership and essential expertise we need to get people through this pandemic — no matter their zip code, race, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability — and meet the public health needs of our country in this critical moment and beyond,” Biden said in a written, possibly plagiarized statement. “She is a historic and deeply qualified choice to help lead our administration’s health efforts.”
Biden also thinks Levine is a female just like he thinks Hunter is the most intelligent guy he knows.
A graduate of Harvard and of Tulane Medical School, Levine is president of the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials. He has written in the past on the opioid crisis, medical marijuana, adolescent medicine, eating disorders and LGBTQ medicine, [where men can have babies and women can be men, "you damn science deniers"].
God bless America.

Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) is getting results from her vote to impeach former President Donald Trump. Of course, the results are not what she bargained for--a primary challenger for the 2022 election.
Wyoming state Senator Anthony Bouchard has taken up the cause to clean up the GOP of those who go against its tenets and, in this case, is willing to impeach a president of their party without clear evidence [other than that offered by the left-leaning press].
Bouchard filed Wednesday with the Federal Elections Commission and currently represents District 6 of Wyoming since 2017.
"I expect Never Trumpers to do this stuff. But Cheney should be run out of town, and back to Virginia for joining the blame game!" Bouchard posted on Facebook in after Cheney's impeachment vote in January
The Wyoming GOO condemned Cheney earlier this month for her vote along with nine other House Republicans to impeach Trump on weak charges of "incitement of an insurrection."
The only thing about the riots that Trump was guilty of, in my opinion, is that he failed to immediately attempt to quell them the moment he saw what was happening.
"By announcing her decision to vote for impeachment Representative Cheney denied President Trump due process; she judged the 'evidence' before it was presented and refused to listen to the arguments made," the Wyoming GOP said in a statement last week.
An online petition to recall Cheney on Change.org has more than 35,000 signatures. And if you agree that she needs to be recalled, don't be shy about signing it.

Never one to ordinarily mix bovine excrement language with his legal opinions, Attorney General William Barr reportedly broke that rule and warned President Trump that his legal team was telling him a fib about the election being stolen by calling "bulls**t" on it.
[H/T Daily Wire]
The AG made that statement at a Dec 1st meeting with Trump and other top aides, according to Axios, a left-leaning outlet which has consistently been highly critical of the administration.
The reason for the meeting was allegedly due to Trump being angry that Barr gave an interview to the Associated Press that contradicted what Trump's legal team was saying publicly.
In that interview with the AP, Barr said that federal investigators were looking into allegations of voter fraud but said that they had “not seen fraud on a scale that could have effected a different outcome in the election.”
In truth, probably all elections ever run in the USA and everywhere else, has some voter fraud associated with it, but if it doesn't swing the election, then the will of the people has spoken.
“These things aren’t panning out,” Barr told Trump, as he stood beside his chief of staff Will Levi. “The stuff that these people are filling your ear with just isn’t true.” Barr explained that if Trump wanted to contest the election results, the president’s internal campaign lawyers would have to do it, not the DOJ.
The Justice Department, he continued, had looked at the major fraud allegations that Trump’s lawyers had leveled. “It’s just bullshit,” Barr told the president. [White House counsel Pat] Cipollone backed up Barr by saying the DOJ was investigating these claims.
The report also said that Cipollone along with others within earshot were stunned over Barr's blunt and brutal manner, although they agreed. In addition, Barr is reported to have called Trump's legal team "clownish."
“I’m a pretty informed legal observer and I can’t f***ing figure out what the theory is here,” Barr reportedly said in reference to the claims that Trump’s legal team were making. “It’s just scattershot. It’s all over the hill and gone.”
“Maybe,” Trump said, according to Axios. “Maybe.”
Axios explained how it sourced its report:
Our reporting is based on multiple interviews with current and former White House, campaign, government and congressional officials as well as direct eyewitnesses and people close to the president. Sources have been granted anonymity to share sensitive observations or details they would not be formally authorized to disclose. President Trump and other officials to whom quotes and actions have been attributed by others were provided the opportunity to confirm, deny or respond to reporting elements prior to publication.
Barr had been a nostalgic favorite amongst Trump supporters but has since resigned 3 weeks prior to the end of Trump's term and strongly criticized him over the Capitol riot that took place Jan. 6.
Trump will not attend Joe Biden's inauguration on Jan. 20. He will be the fourth President to snub his replacement. The others were John Adams, the second U.S. President; John Quincy Adams, the sixth President and son of John Adams; and Andrew Johnson, the 17th President and the first to be impeached.
Like Trump, all the others were one-term presidents.

The Republican Party Central Committee in Carbon County, Wyoming, has unanimously voted to censure Rep. Liz Cheney (D-WY) after she voted to impeach President Trump.
[H/T The Daily Wire.]
“The censure resolution passed in a unanimous vote by the 45-member central committee,” The Washington Times reported. “It included a demand that Ms. Cheney appear before the committee to explain her actions.”
Carbon County Chairman Joey Correnti IV told the Times: “Our representative did not represent our voice.” Thus she failed the Party by going rogue.
The resolution says Cheney defied the will of most Wyoming Republican voters when she voted in favor of the Democrats’ rushed impeachment article, denying President Trump due process.
Due process of the law is the idea that a person is presumed innocent until proved guilty, a process revered by Republicans and shunned by many on the left.
“The wind in Wyoming has been horrendous today—with gusts up to 65 miles per hour. That is nothing compared to the whirlwind created by Representative Cheney’s announcement that she would be voting to impeach President Trump, and her subsequent follow-through of doing just that,” the party said in a statement, to The Daily Wire.
“There has not been a time during our tenure when we have seen this type of an outcry from our fellow Republicans, with the anger and frustration being palpable in the comments we have received. Our telephone has not stopped ringing, our email is filling up, and our website has seen more traffic than at any previous time. The consensus is clear that those who are reaching out to the Party vehemently disagree with Representative Cheney’s decision and actions.”
“This insurrection caused injury, death and destruction in the most sacred space in our Republic,” Cheney herself said in a statement last Tuesday, blaming the President for the behavior of others.
“Much more will become clear in coming days and weeks, but what we know now is enough,” she continued. “The President of the United States summoned this mob, assembled the mob, and lit the flame of this attack.”
Except the siege of the Capitol was planned prior to Trump's speech about a "peaceful, patriotic" protest [Trump's words].
“Everything that followed was his doing [unlike the time when a gunman was inspired by Sen. Bernie Sanders (Communist-VT) to shoot Republicans at a ballgame and nearly killed Sen. Steve Scalise]. None of this would have happened without the President. The President could have immediately and forcefully intervened to stop the violence. He did not. [This part is true, but you cannot blame him for what others did unless he specifically directed them to do it.] There has never been a greater betrayal by a President of the United States of his office and his oath to the Constitution.”
“I will vote to impeach the President,” she announced, before all the facts were available.
Last Monday, House Democrats released their single article of impeachment against President Trump for allegedly inciting what they claimed was an “insurrection” at the Capitol.
Again, no Republican, no conservative, and no independent voter who voted for Trump believes the attack on the Capitol was anything but horrible. But Democrats always try to lump all Trump supporters in the same category, like Hillary Clinton's "basket of deplorables" categorization of all his supporters.
And Liz Cheney gave the left exactly what they want.
Trump's words at the speech were:
“I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard. Today, we will see whether Republicans stand strong for the integrity of our elections.”
These words sound very typical of how political people speak and they clearly do not call for violence or insurrection.
I believe Liz Cheney voted her conscience but I also believe she needs to be voted out of office in the next primary election.

Alyssa Milano, 48, born in Brooklyn, NY is a left-wing political activist She left Brooklyn and attended the Buckley School in Sherman Oaks, California serving grades kindergarten through the 12th grade as a college prep school, although there does not appear to be any evidence of higher education in her history.
Ms. Milano sports seven tattoos including a sacred heart on her butt cheek, a fairy kneeling on the grass along her hip, rosary beads on her back, an angel on her left ankle, a snake biting it's own tail [an Ouroboros] and on her dainty right wrist, an "om" as well as on her other wrist with flowers there and also on her right ankle.
But in spite of her apparently Catholic-inspired images [of the heart and rosary], Milano had two abortions, putting her in the same "church pew" as Joe Biden who supports the killing of the unborn.
Dave Bautista, 52, whose birthday is today, Jan. 18th, is a former wrestler and mixed martial artist-turned actor. His mom, a lesbian, is of Greek descent and his father a Filipino immigrant. He was raised in poverty and had serious run-ins with the law. By age 13, he was stealing cars, and by 17 he was estranged from his parents, living on his own.
Bautista worked as a nightclub bouncer but was arrested after a fight that left two patrons injured, one who was left unconscious. He was given a year on probation, later working as a lifeguard and then got into bodybuilding, which he said saved his life.
He became a wrestler at which time he called himself "Batista." Finally he went into acting and used his real name at this point, while pretending to be the characters he played.
Rafael [Ted] Edward Cruz, 50, never went to acting school. Instead, he went to Princeton University and Harvard Law School and worked as a policy advisor for George W. Bush and then Solicitor General of Texas from 2003 to 2008. Liberal Harvard Professor Emeritus Alan Dershowitz once said that Cruz was the brightest pupil he ever taught.
Cruz was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2012 and became the first Hispanic American to serve as a U.S. senator from Texas and was re-elected to the Senate in 2018, beating out Robert Francis "Beto" O'Rourke, a gun-grabbing leftist who respects the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution the way a snake respects a mouse.
Cruz and others faced criticism for perpetuating the idea that Joseph Robinette Biden won the presidential election using organized, wide-scale voter fraud. In the video below, he explains that he never intended to set aside the results of the election, but he asked to look into what half the nation believes was an unfair election.
On Sunday, Bautista took to Twitter to share the petition writing: "This cause is close to my heart - please sign."
Milano also shared the MoveOn.org petition later in the day with a gif that reads: "The path to unity flows through accountability. The path to healing begins with justice."
Their definition of justice is that conservatives either agree with them or shut up. Witness big tech lately.
Neither one of these actors live or even come from Texas where Cruz was duly elected.
The path to unity as a nation flows through the acceptance of our differences and the freedom to discuss and debate them. It comes from compromise at times. Healing will follow, not through punishing those with whom you disagree, but with honest, talk, and even more important, real listening.
You want healing and unity, start there.

Sarah Fuller made history when the uterus-endowed athlete kicked an American football in a humiliating 41-0 loss by Vanderbilt University to Missouri in a game primarily played by people with penises and high levels of testosterone. Fuller lacks both but can often kick a football successfully.
Fuller thus became the first person sporting a vagina to play and score a point in a Power 5 college football game, and now the football kicker will be adding another line to their resume on Wednesday as Fuller has been invited by President-elect-for-certain Joseph Robinette Biden to the inauguration on Wednesday.
On Sunday, the former football kicker humble-bragged on Twitter, [where Fuller has not been banned], about the invitation to the event and even taped a video for the show last week.
"It’s an honor to be invited to participate in one of America’s greatest traditions," Fuller tweeted. "This historic inauguration is especially meaningful for American women and girls. The glass ceilings are breaking and it is the time to #LeadLikeAWoman."
So now the left admits that there are women and they are now differentiated from men. How convenient. Perhaps now they will consider separate bathrooms.
Fuller successfully pooched a squib kick during Vanderbilt's horrible loss against Missouri [see minute 3:40] and made two extra points in yet another loss to Tennessee 42-17.
Fuller caught the attention of athletes all over the country, and bragged about being a role model to biological females. The video below shows Fuller kicking a football through the uprights to score an extra point in Vanderbilt's substantial loss.
"I love that so much, it’s so amazing," Fuller said. "When I went to a college game or watched older girls growing up, I felt the same way and looked up to them. Now being a college athlete and being that inspiration is really cool."
Fuller, who was a goalkeeper for the Commodores,' Vanderbilt's women's soccer team, announced last year she would continue her collegiate career at North Texas.
