“Fox & Friends” co-host Brian Kilmeade heaped praise on the Biden economy today, which grew at a 2.9% annual rate in the fourth quarter of 2021. Kilmeade’s defense, which Mediaite commentator Tommy Christopher described as “stunning,” came mere hours before President Biden addressed the state of the economy in a speech for the first time this year.

One of the most well-known conservative commentators has retired. Pat Buchanan, 84, left an indelible mark on conservatism in the United States during his prolific career as a journalist, columnist, White House adviser to multiple Republican administrations, politician and cable news pundit. Buchanan first cut his teeth in journalism working at the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

Germany has also consented to Poland’s and other countries’ demands to send German-made tanks to resist Russia’s unprovoked invasion. The development comes as reports indicate Putin may launch a winter offensive to regain the strategic initiative with newly mobilized troops. Ukraine is also planning its own counteroffensive, with Russian forces depleted after repeated failed assaults against strategic…

A former top FBI official involved in the investigation of alleged ties between the Trump campaign and Russia has been criminally charged for his suspected ties to Russia.

The nonbinary child of Rep. Katherine Clark, D-Mass., the second-highest-ranking Democrat in the U.S. House of Representatives, is in serious trouble today. Boston Police arrested Riley Dowell, 23, after officers found her defacing a historic Boston landmark with anti-police graffiti, including the acronym ACAB, which stands for “All Cops Are Bastards.” Dowell’s vandalism occurred during what police are describing as an Antifa riot.
