  The White House on Monday said any political strife with Florida Gov.   Ron DeSantis  (R) will not affect its response to Hurricane Ian, which is expected to batter the state in the coming days.  “What the president believes is that it’s important that federal resources is provided for the people of Florida. That is the most important thing, to make sure that we are there for them in this time of need,” press secretary  Karine Jean-Pierre  told reporters at a briefing.  “It’s about the people of Florida. It’s not about public officials, especially in this time,” she added.  Biden over the weekend approved an emergency declaration in more than 20 counties in Florida to proactively surge resources to those areas and coordinate disaster relief between the state, local and federal governments.   The White House has repeatedly criticized DeSantis over the last two weeks after the governor flew migrants from Texas to Martha’s Vineyard in Ma...

  Rep.   Nancy Mace  (R-S.C.) on Sunday said Republicans will face pressure to impeach President Biden if they take the House majority in the midterms. “I believe there’s a lot of pressure on Republicans to have that vote, to put that legislation forward, and to have that vote,” Mace said of an impeachment vote when asked by NBC “Meet the Press” moderator Chuck Todd.  “I think that is something that some folks are considering,” she continued. Mace declined to say how she would vote on a potential Biden impeachment, but noted that she did not vote to impeach former President  Trump  in 2021 because “due process was stripped away.” “I will not vote for impeachment of any president if I feel that due process has been stripped away for anyone, and I typically vote constitutionally regardless of who’s in power,” she told Todd. “I want to do the right thing for the long term because this isn’t just about today, tomorrow, this year’s election. This is about t...

  President Biden on Friday sought to dismantle the agenda proposed hours earlier by House Republican leaders should they take back the House, hitting Minority Leader   Kevin McCarthy  (R-Calif.) for dodging key issues and warning that a GOP majority would try to strip away fundamental rights and government programs. Biden, in remarks at a Democratic National Committee event at the National Education Association (NEA), issued a point-by-point rebuttal to the agenda unveiled by McCarthy. “We didn’t hear a mention of the right to choose. We didn’t hear a mention of Medicare. We didn’t hear a mention of Social Security,” Biden told the crowd at NEA headquarters. Biden, pointing to a proposal from Sen.  Lindsey Graham  (R-S.C.) that would ban abortion after 15 weeks, warned the GOP would attempt to block access to the procedure if they hold the House majority. He pledged to veto any such legislation if it passed, arguing a stronger Democratic majority could help cod...

  Michigan Gov.   Gretchen Whitmer  (D) expanded her lead over Republican challenger Tudor Dixon to 16 points in a poll from the Detroit Free Press released on Thursday. Fifty-five percent of likely voters said they would support the current governor, compared to the 39 percent who said they would back the Trump-endorsed GOP candidate,  the poll found . Six percent were undecided. Some Republican strategists have voiced concerns recently that  hard-line GOP candidates, like Dixon, may be alienating voters . Dixon said in an interview in August that she only supported abortion exceptions if the life of the mother is in danger and suggested that rape victims could heal through giving birth. Abortion was a top issue among likely Michigan voters in the Free Press poll, tied with inflation at 24 percent.

"I don't even know if Biden's conscious sometimes." But Susan, of San Francisco, thought problems with the economy were out of Biden’s control. "He's doing what he can as president in an executive position," she said, giving Biden a B. "This can't fall on one person."

The Democratic governor touted  California’s achievements , which included outperforming other states in terms of GDP growth and a more than $100 billion-dollar operating surplus.  Host Preet Barara then asked the governor how he reconciled those statistics with the fact that thousands of people have left California in recent years.  Newsom conceded that the state had lost around 182,000 people in 2020. He said many factors contributed to this trend, but the number one was  former President Trump’s visa policies .  "Our formula for success is getting first-round draft choices from around the world. I mean, we’re as dumb as we want to be," Newsom said. "This whole border debate is made up."

  If you're used to thinking of Canada as our slightly dorky Arctic cousin, literally the last nation on Earth where the mullet is considered a legitimate haircut, the country where American fads go to die and of course you are used to thinking all of that about Canada because it's long been true, it's time to think again.   Suddenly, out of nowhere, Canada, of all places, is a leading indicator. As the woke revolution spreads across the West, Canada is at the vanguard of it.  Under Justin Trudeau, Canada  has done everything to the maximum possible extent. It has criminalized political speech. It has banned self-defense. It's used the power of the state to squelch Christianity, all of it. So, if you want to know what's going to happen next in the United States, it's time to look north. Canada is the ghost of our Christmas future. So, with that in mind, it's worth taking a look at what is happening right now in Canada's schools, because you are certain t...
