A compilation of Joe Rogan using the N-word appeared online, as a result, the podcast host has apologised.

"The most regretful and shameful thing that I've ever had to talk about publicly. There's a video that's out that's a compilation of me saying the N-word. It's a video that's made of clips taken out of context of me of 12 years of conversations on my podcast, and it's all smushed together. And it looks f---ing horrible, even to me," Rogan said.
🗣NYC Mayor Eric Adams apologized for a 2019 video in which he boasted of being a better cop than his ‘cracker’ colleagues during his time in the New York City Police Department.

“Every day in the police department, I kicked those crackers’ ass,” the now-mayor Adams says in the video of a private Harlem Business Alliance event in 2019.

Adams claimed the question he was responding to in the clip had used that slur. However, the question cannot be heard in the clip.

“But clearly, it’s a comment that should not be used and I apologize not only to those who heard it but to New Yorkers because they should expect more from me and that was inappropriate,” he added.

A former law clerk for Supreme Court contender Ketanji Brown Jackson edited her Wikipedia page to 'paint her in a more favorable light for a liberal audience' while altering those of her competitors to make them less appealing.

A probe by Politico has alleged that Matteo Godi worked for Jackson between 2019 and 2020. Going by the Wikipedia user name “H2rty,” he edited Jackson’s page “as a matter of course” going back to 2017, and made over 20 edits on the pages of seven judges potentially in competition for SCOTUS between 28 January and 2 February.

Sources revealed that “H2rty’s” edits were broadly aimed at making Jackson look good to liberals, while marring the reputations of South Carolina Federal District Court Judge Michelle Childs and California Supreme Court Judge Leondra Kruger, two other contenders for SCOTUS.

Just saw Mike Pence’s statement on the fact that he had no right to do anything with respect to the Electoral Vote Count, other than being an automatic conveyor belt for the Old Crow Mitch McConnell to get Biden elected President as quickly as possible. Well, the Vice President’s position is not an automatic conveyor if obvious signs of voter fraud or irregularities exist. That’s why the Democrats and RINOs are working feverishly together to change the very law that Mike Pence and his unwitting advisors used on January 6 to say he had no choice. The reason they want it changed is because they now say they don’t want the Vice President to have the right to ensure an honest vote. In other words, I was right and everyone knows it. If there is fraud or large scale irregularities, it would have been appropriate to send those votes back to the legislatures to figure it out. The Dems and RINOs want to take that right away. A great opportunity lost, but not forever, in the meantime our Country is going to hell!

👀 An NFT project called Meta Slave has rebranded itself after facing online backlash.

Initially, it sold images of black people that were generated by artificial intelligence in a bid to draw attention to the notion that "everyone is a slave to something" – desires, work, money, etc.

However, after facing accusations of racism, the project changed its name to Meta Humans and now offers images of people of various ethnicities, which cost around 0.01 ETH (Ethereum).

On Monday the incredible people of Iowa exercise their sacred right to peaceably assemble and participate in the great Iowa Caucus! One of the most time-honored and American of traditions. Neighbors will join together to cast their votes and determine their future.

However, the corrupt and elitist Democrat Establishment wants to steal Iowa's First-in-the-Nation status. They want to limit your freedoms, silence your voices, strangle your livelihoods, and restrict your God-given right to nominate your political leaders.

Coastal Democrats allow illegal aliens to vote in California and New York, but are attempting to stifle the free speech of great American Patriots.

With me, Iowa will ALWAYS keep its first-in-the-Nation status. The great people of Middle America will have a powerful vote and voice. Iowans, make sure you go out on Monday and participate in your precinct caucus!

Thank you to Governor Reynolds, Senator Grassley, and Chairman Kaufmann for fighting hard against the Radical Democrats!

Texas Senator @TedCruzTX sent a letter to the Federal Trade Commission demanding that GoFundMe, a platform used to raise money for Canadian truckers protesting in Ottawa, be reviewed to determine “whether they've committed deceptive trade practices."

The problem is that in about two weeks, the protesters raised about $ 7.9 million, but the GoFundMe platform froze the collected money, and later deleted the protesters' fundraising profile.

🗣 “They are deceiving consumers and it is wrong,” he said. “The Canadian truckers are heroes, they are patriots and they are marching for your freedom and for my freedom.”
