🇺🇸US Congresswoman Joyce Beatty accused fellow lawmaker Hal Rogers of poking her back and demanding she get on a train headed for the House floor after she told him to put on his mask.
Beatty said when she asked Rogers not to touch her, he allegedly responded “kiss my ass.”
Beatty and other Democrats called on Rogers to apologize for the alleged behavior, which Beatty called indicative of a larger problem with Republican members flaunting health and safety mandates.

American football legend Tom Brady commented on his possible return and explained his decision to retire from the sport:
“I'm just gonna take things as they come. I think that's the best way to put it and I don't think anything, you know, you never say never. At the same time, I know that... I feel very good about my decision. I don't know how I'll feel six months from now.”

The Biden Administration now says “conspiracy theories” about elections are the greatest threat to the homeland. Does the Department of Homeland Security include in its list of conspiracy theories the on tape irrefutable evidence of massive “Ballot Harvesting” in the Swing States? Do they include more votes than voters, and the fact that in Georgia thousands of duplicate votes were scanned and voter fraud was committed with 100-0 falsified vote counts for Joe Biden? Do they include in Wisconsin more than twice the election margin voted without ever showing Voter ID, which is illegal, or the widespread fraud uncovered in nursing homes? Or how 23,344 mail-in ballots were counted, despite the person no longer living at that address in Arizona, and that there was over 100% turnout for mail-in ballots in precincts in Pima County. What about the many violations of the Constitution, and the millions poured into Swing States by the Facebook CEO to hijack our elections?
The Biden Administration will do anything to keep the eye away from the massive irregularities and voter fraud that took place in the 2020 Presidential Election, even so ridiculously as going after its own citizens as “terrorists” using DHS, which should instead be focusing on the Border, where millions of people, from places unknown, are pouring into our Country. They are so desperate to hide the truth, they’ll make it criminal to speak it!

Bill Gates is to release a book called “How to Prevent the Next Pandemic,” in which he offers advice on how to avoid a cataclysm in the future like the one caused by COVID-19.
“Whenever I see the suffering that Covid has created – every time I read about the latest death toll or hear about someone who lost their job or drive by a school that is closed – I can’t help but think: we don’t have to do this again,” he says.
Among all the information in the book, Gates also mentions his conversations with the director of the US National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Anthony Fauci.

❗️The White House has approved a Pentagon plan for US troops in Poland to help Americans flee Ukraine if the situation escalates, in order to avoid repeating the chaotic Afghanistan evacuation, The Wall Street Journal reports, citing US officials.
Some of the 1,700 troops being deployed to Poland will begin setting up checkpoints and tent camps near the border with Ukraine in coming days to host possible evacuees.
The US forces will only provide logistics support to help coordinate the evacuation of Americans from Poland, after they arrive there from Ukraine, "likely by land and without U.S. military support," the report added.
