Washington Post Reports Pelosi Expected To ‘Step Down’ After 2022 Midterms | The Daily Wire
A report by The Washington Post on Monday claimed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is expected to “step down” after the 2022 midterms as Democrats prepare for new leadership in the days ahead.
“After almost 19 years as House Democratic leader, Speaker Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) is expected to step down at the close of this Congress, ending a historic career that included trying to end George W. Bush’s Iraq War, implementing President Barack Obama’s signature health-care law, impeaching President Donald Trump twice and squeezing President Biden’s sweeping agenda through a narrowly controlled House,” the Post’s Marianna Sotomayor wrote.

UK: A win for common sense at the Girls’ Day School Trust
We live in strange times when schools are applauded for applying the law. The Girls’ Day School Trust (GDST), which represents 25 schools across England, has revised its admissions policy for pupils who identify as transgender.
Unfortunately, the headlines in the press have been somewhat misleading. “Trans pupils are turned down by girls’ schools as threat to status,” said one. But this policy is not about gender reassignment; it is about sex.

Twitter announced Sunday that the personal account for Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) had been permanently suspended for “repeated violations” of the social media platform’s policy on COVID-19 vaccine “misinformation.”

Teachers’ Union Sends Out Press Release Full of Typos, Gets Sent Back by Parent with Corrections
We’ve been getting glimpses into the brains of so many educators, as of late, but most of them have just demonstrated a certain amount of disconnection from reality, like this woman who calls parents terrorists in the course of singing her childish song or this guy who believes behaving well is a mark of white supremacy.

Dream on AOC! Seriously.
Don’t get me wrong, a shags a shag mate, but you’ve got more red flags than a Chinese Communist Parade.
Hell, you’ve got more Chinese Communism than a Chinese Communist parade. I think I’ll swipe left on that one – BrandX.

Morgan Wallen Issues Lengthy Thank You Post After Defeating Cancel Culture | The Daily Wire
Country music star Morgan Wallen posted a thank you message to those who stuck by him following his deplatforming over a secretly-recorded tape showing an inebriated Wallen using expletives and calling his white friend the N-word.
“I could write a book on 2021,” Wallen wrote in an Instagram post published Saturday. “And I probably will one day. But for now, I wanna say thank you.”
“Thank you to everyone who believed in me and continued to believe in me, even when it wasn’t the popular thing to do,” the country star continued. “Thank you to my family, my band, my friends, and my fans for having my back and sticking up for me when so many were coming for me. I hope my heart has shown through the noise.”
Dems accused Ron DeSantis of going on vacation amid COVID surge. He was actually accompanying wife to cancer treatment.
Democrats accused Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) of going “missing” or being on vacation last week as COVID-19 cases surge in the Sunshine State. DeSantis, however, was not AWOL. Instead, he was accompanying his wife, Casey, as she received treatment for cancer.
Doctor Robert Malone: Do Not Take Part In The Lie | The Liberty Beacon
Yesterday, I had to take an antibody test in order to get into the studio in Austin. The good news is that my natural immunity from my last round of COVID is robust – with IgA and even IgM Antibodies present.
This brings me again to one of my biggest issues with the public policy response. Natural immunity equals or trumps immunity from the genetic vaccines, because the natural immune response is broad (against the all 29 proteins of the SAVS-CoV-2 virus) and appears to hold up better against Omicron. This sustained and robust natural immunity also applies to children. We all know it. Why won’t our government and the main stream media admit it?

CNN Tricked Into Broadcasting Fake and Vulgar Tweets on New Years Eve
I'm sure many of you missed this on New Year's Eve. Dollars to donuts whatever you were doing, you were not watching CNN. Just because, eww gross. But at least two people were. One of them created enough fake Twitter accounts to troll the broadcast, in a prank that would have landed him on our 2021 list of "Everyday Heroes, Legends, and Patriots Who Just 'Don't Give a F***'." The other was the person who recorded the troll's handy work and shared it on social media for our enjoyment.

Yes, the title of the video is a sarcastic one. I’m glad Mr H is covering this. He always speaks with clarity and common sense on most issues.
Jack Murphy is a creepy ‘used car salesman’ type grifting in the name of online ‘Masculinity training’. Really he is preying on the insecure and the lost, let’s be honest. His fake-Alpha public behaviour this past few weeks reminds us of why we need to be extremely careful investing our time, attention and money on those in the ‘Red Pill’ circle. The Manospehere.
There are some worthy names out there (see our Recommended Reading section here for some good books by decent authors) but there are a growing number of grifters.
Be careful – BrandX.
