📍 Movie producer Harvey Weinstein is being extradited to California from a prison in New York in order to face trial for additional sex crime charges there
Harvey Weinstein, who is serving his 23-year sentence, pleaded not guilty to crimes for which he faces an additional 140 years.

Harvey's lawyers nevertheless accuse the court of bias, and also say that the current term is already life imprisonment, as he is 69 years old and his health is deteriorating

Republicans must take seriously the effort by Democrats to completely change America through the Reconciliation Process. Democrats are now suggesting that budget reconciliation can be used to pass Mail-In Ballot legislation as well as trying to include Amnesty in their infrastructure package. The infrastructure package has little to do with infrastructure as we know it, bridges, roads, tunnels, etc., but is a dramatic expansion of Government that will cost much more than the $3.5 trillion being discussed. Don’t let this happen!

If Amnesty is included in the infrastructure package, there will be a run on our Southern Border the likes of which we have never seen before. It will be a signal that says "come to America now, because you will soon be a citizen." Providing Amnesty to illegal aliens, in the history of what already is considered the greatest Border catastrophe, will result in disaster beyond our gravest nightmares. No country can pay this price. Will lead to ruination!

Any effort to dictate national Mail-In Voting will be a disaster for our Country and for conservatism. There will never be a Republican elected to high office again. I urge every Republican to fight this and deny Democrats a quorum if that is what it takes to make sure that the Democrats can’t use reconciliation.

Republicans must push back for the sake of our Country and, far less importantly, the sake of the Republican Party!

Nancy Pelosi has abused her power by not allowing Republicans to participate in the Capitol riot probe, Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy said.

🗣 Pelosi said there was now "no hope" for reaching an agreement with the Republicans on setting up any bipartisan, independent National Commission because of insufficient support from Republican senators.

Well, the more she acts the more it feels like the spirit of Democratic totalitarianism permeates the House

❗️🇷🇺🇺🇸🇩🇪Russian Ambassador to the United States Anatoly Antonov about the US-German deal on the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline project:

🔹the agreement raises questions, the hostile anti-Russian rhetoric totally contradicts the Putin-Biden accords reached in Geneva;

🔹any attempts to portray Russia as an aggressor are baseless and useless;

🔹Russia believes that any accusations of using energy as a tool of political pressure are a part of unfair competition.

🦠 Kentucky Senator Rand Paul flatly accused Dr Anthony Fauci of lying to Congress at a meeting of the Senate Health Committee on the COVID-19 pandemic.

Paul introduced a scientific paper that he said showed gain of function experiments — commonly used to study the mechanisms of infection — had been carried out at the Wuhan institute, asking him if he would retract his previous statement that the “NIH never funded gain of function research in Wuhan”.

🗣 Fauci reacted angrily, saying: “I have never lied before the Congress, and I do not retract that statement,” and claimed the experiments detailed in the paper were “judged by qualified staff up and down the chain as not being gain of function.”

What has Fauci got to hide?

☣️ The U.S. House passed bipartisan legislation that would regulate toxic chemicals found in drinking water.

The legislation would direct the EPA to begin drafting rules limiting PFAS in drinking water while also giving the EPA authority to draft regulations for an entire class that includes thousands of PFAS-related chemicals found in a multitude of consumer products ranging from nonstick cookware to waterproof clothing.

No more DuPont cases?

🇺🇸US President Joe Biden at a CNN Townhall meeting pushed vaccinations, took a shot at China and claimed he first felt like leader of the free world when he faced Russian President Vladimir Putin:

"I realized when I’m sitting across from Putin... he knows who I am."

🔻Biden also said the US economy is "picking up significantly" and predicted his policies will reduce inflation.

🔻 He alleged that Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping "truly believes" the future will be determined by oligarchs and that democracies cannot function.

🙄 Joe Biden has once again failed at math.

The US president claimed that more Americans had died from the coronavirus pandemic than the number of those killed in all major wars the US has been engaged in.

“More people have died [from the coronavirus] than all our major wars combined”, Biden said as he urged Americans to get vaccinated in order to curb the COVID-19 spread.

However, according to the US Department of Veterans Affairs, 650,000 American military personnel have perished only on the battlefield.

The US COVID-19 death toll, as of today, stands at 609,000, the Johns Hopkins University coronavirus count indicates.

🤔 Nearly half of the US military bases in Afghanistan were used to keep strategic tabs on the wider region, Russia's special presidential envoy for Afghanistan, Zamir Kabulov, said on Thursday.

🗣 "Of the 19 [US bases] that we know of, somewhat about seven or eight had nothing to do with Afghanistan and had nothing to do with the situation there", Kabulov told the Echo of Moscow radio station.

The diplomat emphasised that the American contingents were conveniently placed in Afghanistan to be closer to the Middle East, Russia, Central Asia and China.

Why is shoplifting in California largely going unpunished?

Running a business today is an uphill struggle with all the rules, regulations, restrictions, rent, and on top of that – thieves!

In most countries, however, thieves would be arrested and jailed. But California prefers a system of "understanding" and "forgiveness".

After all, you can be robbed in California of goods up to $950 and the thieves won’t even be arrested! Thanks Proposition 47...

Republican Arizona State Senator Paul Boyer, a RINO if there ever was one, is doing everything in his power to hold up the damning Forensic Audit of Maricopa County which has been taking place over the last 90 days. The people of Arizona are demanding it. Boyer has been nothing but trouble, and nobody knows why. All we demand is Voter Integrity! He is being primaried by a strong and highly respected challenger, former Arizona State Representative Anthony Kern.
📍 Nancy Pelosi recently turned down Republican representatives as members of her committee to investigate the events at the US Capitol on January 6, thus taking the unprecedented step of abandoning the election of the minority party.

However, one Republican representative is likely to be accepted. Guess who is he? Of course it's anti-Trump Illinois Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger.

🧐 This turn of events is increasingly causing many to wonder whether the electoral commission will be impartial.

@TedCruzTX blasted Democrats during a Senate floor speech, calling it “a cynical and calculated lie” that anybody other than Democrats is seeking to defund the police.

🗣 “Psaki doubled down on the idea that it is Republicans and not Democrats who want to defund the police. When a White House press secretary gives a press briefing, you expect some spin, you expect some verbal bobbing and weaving if the topic is unflattering to the administration. But when Jen Psaki tried to blame Republicans for defunding the police, it wasn’t spin. It was horse manure, it was gaslighting,” said Cruz
