• @glennbeck

• As if arresting a Gold Star dad for disrupting Biden's State of the Union wasn't enough, @RepBrianMast tells me Steve Nikoui was also CHARGED with "demonstrating." Were any of the pro-Palestinian blockaders charged? Or do they get a pass because Biden needs their votes? (video)

• SCOOP: A student at @EastCentralHS in Indiana drove to school with an American flag on the back of his truck. The school reportedly responded by threatening to punish him if he didn't remove it. After hearing what happened, nearly 2 dozen other students flew American flags on their vehicles, protesting the school's decision!  The school caved, allowing students to fly flags on their vehicles but said they won't allow students to fly American flags next school year. Why do American schools hate America? (pic)

• @JesseBWatters

Primetime's pulling the pork: $880k to raise awareness for monk seals, AOC just got $500,000 for her anti-racist oyster reef, politicians are giving electric cars to people in the projects and Bernie's spending half-million to study a monument.

• @MJTruthUltra

• So I just learned something interesting…. Alejandro Mayorkas was a board member for HIAS… HIAS, is a Jewish American NPO Spread Across the US, Assisting Illegals Resettle into the United States. Isn’t it kind of odd that same Cuban born immigrant in charge of border security to stop illegals was on the Board of an organization that literally helps illegals resettle into the US? The locations of all these HIAS Jewish Service Agencies closely overlap where illegal immigrants live and democrats vote. (video)

SKirsch.com:

• Using the MGH numbers with our own VAERS queries, we have 247 cases per million doses from the MGH study divided by 5.97 cases per million doses from VAERS. 247/5.97 = 41. This suggests that the VAERS under-reporting factor (URF) is 41X.
