The special grand jury that investigated possible election interference by former President Donald Trump and others in Georgia’s 2020 presidential election results recommended indictments against multiple individuals, according to its forewoman. She declined to discuss specific indictments or give any names. The news comes more than a month after the Atlanta grand jury completed its investigation into Trump and his allies. Their decision on whether or not to recommend indictments went directly to Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis (D). If Willis decides to indict anyone, including Trump, they will be forced to travel to Georgia. As The New York…

As Florida Governor Ron DeSantis moves closer to an expected White House run, he’s staking positions on international issues generally outside the purview of America’s governors. Amid his nationwide tour, DeSantis told “Fox & Friends” what he thought of the United States’ considerable aid to Ukraine. https://twitter.com/FLVoiceNews/status/1627677033747689473 The Daily Wire has more: “They have, effectively, a blank-check policy with no clear strategic objective identified,” DeSantis said of the Biden administration. DeSantis referred to recent reports from Secretary of State Antony Blinken that China, which has already sent non-lethal military aid to Russia, may be preparing to send weapons. That comes…

Russian President Vladimir Putin has suspended his country’s participation in the New START Treaty, the last remaining nuclear arms control treaty between Moscow and the United States. The treaty limited the number of warheads, among other restrictions on both countries’ nuclear arsenals. In his state-of-the-nation address, Putin said he decided to suspend Russia’s obligations under the treaty as the U.S. and NATO openly work to defeat Russia in Ukraine. WATCH: https://twitter.com/girlsreallyrule/status/1627988677963001856 Fox News further reports: “In this regard, I am forced to announce today that Russia is suspending its participation in the strategic offensive arms treaty,” Putin said in his…

Alec Baldwin has notched a significant legal victory ahead of his manslaughter trial. The Santa Fe County District Attorney’s Office told the New York Post it filed paperwork to drop a firearm enhancement charge on one of the two manslaughter charges against the “30 Rock” star. The decision comes after lawyers for Baldwin and Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the armorer who supervised Baldwin’s gun, filed a motion that prosecutors incorrectly charged the defendants under a state law that passed after Halyna Hutchins’ death on the set of the movie “Rust.” With the changes to the original charges, Baldwin and Gutierrez-Reed face a maximum…

James O’Keefe is no longer the leader of Project Veritas. After Project Veritas’ board placed him on paid leave to investigate claims of employer abuse and allegations that he wasted the nonprofit’s money on his musical theater dreams, O’Keefe was either removed or submitted his resignation. Initial reports aren’t clear. https://twitter.com/JackPosobiec/status/1627724200839348246?s=20 According to O’Keefe’s allies, he read his resignation letter in front of his former team and board members at Project Veritas’ Mamaroneck, New York headquarters. It’s unclear what O’Keefe plans to do next. Reaction from movement conservatives on social media has poured in and has been fierce. https://twitter.com/charliekirk11/status/1627720479774736384 The…

Georgia Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene has had enough. The conservative firebrand took to Twitter after it was reported President Biden traveled to Kyiv this weekend in a show of solidarity with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Her Presidents’ Day message was simple: it’s time for a “national divorce.” Per Mediaite: “We need a national divorce,” Greene declared on Twitter. “We need to separate by red states and blue states and shrink the federal government. Everyone I talk to says this. From the sick and disgusting woke culture issues shoved down our throats to the Democrat’s traitorous America Last policies, we are…

The Canadian government is demanding a retired Navy SEAL and internet personality take down a video of the world’s longest sniper shot taken by a former Canadian service member. What’s Ottawa’s problem, you ask? According to retired Navy SEAL and podcaster Shawn Ryan, it goes beyond the Canadian Armed Forces’ claim that Ryan disclosed sensitive information. In a tweet, Ryan said he never intended to publish classified information. Still, he believes the Canadian military’s cease-and-desist letter is to prevent former counterterrorism sniper Dallas Alexander from explaining he was fired for refusing the COVID vaccine. Alexander fatally shot an ISIS fighter…

Roald Dahl’s most popular books have been rewritten more than three decades after his death. Publisher Puffin Books hired sensitivity readers to remove language deemed offensive in Dahl’s works. The alterations are extensive. In the new version of “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,” The Guardian notes that Augustus Gloop is now described as “enormous,” not “fat,” and “Oompa Loompas are gender neutral.” But that’s not all: Edits have been made to descriptions of characters’ physical appearances. The word “fat” has been cut from every new edition of relevant books, while the word “ugly” has also been culled, the Daily Telegraph reported.…

Then-candidate Joe Biden ran for president on the idea of a return to normalcy. The concept of adhering to presidential norms, unwritten rules and traditions, historically followed by leaders of both parties. A belief that leaders practice common civility. While Trump’s flouting of these rules appealed to his base to varying degrees, they helped Biden win over many Republican-leaning independents and suburbanites. But after two years, the idea of President Biden as a uniting figure has largely dissipated. Including among those who were willing to give him a chance. Remarks by the commander-in-chief at a White House screening of the…

Multiple outlets are reporting that self-help guru Marianne Williamson may announce a primary challenge to President Joe Biden this weekend in New Hampshire. The New York Post reports: “Apparently Biden’s going to run on a message that the economy is getting stronger. I think that speaks to the disconnect between the analysis of party elites versus the struggle of everyday Americans,” Williamson told Politico in an interview released on Friday. “We’re being asked to limit our political imaginations — to just accept the low unemployment and low inflation rate, that that is sort of the best that we can get.…
