Former President Trump endorsed Max Miller for Congress in a bid to defeat Rep. Anthony Gonzalez (R-OH). Trump’s statement reads: Max Miller is a wonderful person who did a great job at the White House and will be a fantastic Congressman. He is a marine Veteran, a son of Ohio, and a true PATRIOT. Current Rep. Anthony Gonzalez should not be representing the people of the 16th district because he does not represent their interest or their heart. Max Miller has my Complete and Total Endorsement! – President Donald Trump Trump’s endorsement comes as he begins screening 2022 midterm candidates who are eager to forward MAGA policies while ensuring every open Republican seat has a MAGA-approved contender vying for it. Trump has received dozens of requests from prospective candidates who wish to earn his support, and he is fielding them as he sees fit. Trump has rejected meetings with former South Carolina governor and 2024 hopeful Nikki Haley and with some House and Senate GOP candidates vying for his ear. Formal meetings with prospects could begin as early as March, according to a report . Trump has refocused on the movement he began now that the Senate impeachment trial fully acquitted him, leading the America First agenda into battle against the “business as usual” crowd in Washington, DC.

CPAC Speakers: GOP ‘Civil War’ Won by Trump
The speakers at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) believe former President Donald Trump is the leader of the conservative movement. The media, though, has written about the Republican Party and the “deep divisions over the extent to which it should embrace Trump after losing the White House and both chambers of Congress.” A headline in the Los Angeles Times reads , “The GOP’s civil war is just beginning, and the fighting will get worse before it gets better.” But the attendees at CPAC disagree. Nearly every noteworthy speaker has supported Trump’s presidency or outright praised his “American First” agenda. “Donald J. Trump ain’t going anywhere,” said Texas Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX). . @tedcruz : “Let me tell you this right now, Donald J. Trump ain’t going anywhere.” pic.twitter.com/yRpRb3G9lP — The Hill (@thehill) February 27, 2021 Sen.

Underfunding classics and humanities is dangerous
If there’s one thing classicists know it's that ancient Greece did not have a Senate, despite what Trump's defense lawyer, Bruce Castor, might have claimed . But the trotting out of Greco-Roman antiquity, however mistaken, in President Trump Donald Trump Biden to hold virtual bilateral meeting with Mexican president More than 300 charged in connection to Capitol riot Trump Jr.: There are 'plenty' of GOP incumbents who should be challenged MORE ’s second impeachment trial is only the latest demonstration of how easy it is for classics to be co-opted by the right. Within the last two months, classicist Victor Davis Hansen was part of the committee behind the now-defunct 1776 Commission Report and insurrectionists infamously paraded many classical symbols during the Capitol insurrection on Jan. 6. Classics are now engaged in a deep reckoning on why these associations have stuck around so easily. Some have suggested that something inherent to the discipline is at fault: we cannot separate out the discipline from the systems of oppression it has supported. But there is another reason; the systemic underfunding and under-appreciation of the humanities, especially of the pre-modern humanities like classics. ADVERTISEMENT The 2008 financial crisis brought significant cuts to arts and humanities disciplines. The Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) disciplines, meanwhile, have been the beneficiaries not only of funding increases, but of a concentrated governmental push during the Obama years. COVID-19 has meant a significant downturn for both, but as we celebrate science for our delivery from the pandemic, the same is not quite true for the humanities, which are increasingly seen as impractical, if they are seen at all. As a classicist, the sting of invisibility is acute, especially when no less than Dr. Anthony Fauci Anthony Fauci One dose of Pfizer vaccine offers significant protection for ...
Carlson: ‘Public Health Experts Are Scrambling to Avoid Humiliation’ of Pandemic-Response Failures
Friday on FNC’s “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” host Tucker Carlson took aim at various responses throughout government agencies that resulted in worsening the COVID-19 pandemic over the past several months. He started with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) initial reaction to the pandemic threat all the way through the contradictions of Biden health adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci. Transcript as follows: It was a year ago this week that Nancy Pelosi was walking the streets of San Francisco’s Chinatown without any concern whatsoever for her personal safety. Nancy Pelosi’s face was stark naked. She wasn’t wearing a mask, neither were the dozens of people who surrounded her. A local CBS affiliate was on the scene following all of it, but even the coronavirus was already spreading all over the world in places like France and South Korea and we now know here in the U.S., CBS didn’t suggest that anything was amiss. They didn’t report that Nancy Pelosi was a walking biohazard or a super spreader. And why would they think that? Just days earlier, Tony Fauci had gone on television and promised Americans that the risk of coronavirus infection in this country was quote, “minuscule.” So, if Tony Fauci’s word meant anything and at the time, people thought that it did, Nancy Pelosi’s walk around Chinatown wasn’t alarming, it was heroic. As when CBS News reporter put it, Nancy Pelosi was a walking one-woman tourist attraction on a mission to defeat a pathogen far more insidious than the coronavirus. Nancy Pelosi was in Chinatown to defeat racism against Asian-Americans. Pelosi herself was explicit on that point, quote, “We want to say to people come to Chinatown. Here we are. We’re careful. We’re safe. Come join us.” In other words, if you’re worried about catching the virus by gathering in a big crowd in Chinatown, that means you’re a white supremacist. So, one year after that remarkable day, what have we learned? Well, for one thing, we know that despite her ...
Fauci: ‘Could Be Close’ to Normal by the End of the Year
During a virtual town hall on MSNBC on Friday, White House Chief Medical Adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci stated that “by the time we get to the fall and the winter we may not be back 100% to where we were before this started,” but we “could be close to that by the end of this coming year.” Fauci said, “Well, it’s difficult to predict. But if we keep going in the direction we’re going now, with the infection rate going down precipitously and more and more people getting vaccinated, I think by the time we get to the fall and the winter we may not be back 100% to where we were before this started, but I think we could be close to that by the end of this coming year. But it’s not going to be next month or the month after. That’s for sure. We have to be patient. It’s going to get better and better. We also, quite frankly, have to keep our eye out on these variants, namely the mutations that have occurred that make the virus a little bit different. The best way to protect yourself against that is, one, do the kind of public health measures we talk about all the time, wearing a mask, physical distancing, and avoiding congregate settings. And two, when the vaccine becomes available, please get vaccinated. The more people that get vaccinated, the better off we’ll be, and the quicker we’ll get back to that normality that you’re talking about.” Follow Ian Hanchett on Twitter @IanHanchett ...
