During an interview with Alabama Public Television that aired on Friday, Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) criticized Democrats for suggesting the events that occurred in Washington, DC on Capitol Hill on January 6 compared to the September 11, 2001 terror attacks. Tuberville said Democrats do so by calling for a so-called 9/11 commission to investigate the incident. “First of all, I don’t like 9/11 being used on anything,” he said. “On 9/11, we lost 3,000 people. Three-thousand is horrific. Now, this is a tragedy in itself. But it wasn’t even close to what happened on that day. I think you’re seeing the Democrats just kind of throwing that back and say, ‘Listen, this was a 9/11 comparison.’ This wasn’t even close. I was there. This was my first day on the Senate floor. I had been sitting in my seat for an hour when this happened. We never saw anybody. We heard a little bit of noise. We were evacuated, gone. I think most of it happened on the other end. It should have never happened, and whoever came in there, broke windows, was destructive, got involved with the Capitol Hill police — that’s against the law. They should go to jail. This is not even a comparison to 9/11.” “Looking into it — they want to look into it, fine,” Tuberville continued. “As long as it is not partisan — bipartisan, look at it the right way. Don’t waste a lot of money on it. I can tell you a lot of what happened. Again, I was there. So can a lot of other people. Let’s get the country going again.” The freshman Alabama U.S. Senator also criticized the security measures put in place after January 6 and likened them to what one might see in a “third-world country.” “What I’m concerned about is when I go to work every day, I live about … a mile from the office, I walk, and I have to walk through a barbed wire fence,” he said, “10-foot high fence with razor wire with thousands of National Guard carrying M5s. It looks like a third-world country. We’re not under siege in Washington, DC. There ...

Joe Biden Teases Woman Nurse: ‘You Look like a Freshman’
President Joe Biden teased a woman nurse helping coordinate a vaccination site in Arizona, telling her she looked like a “freshman” in college.Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris spoke to doctors and nurses in a virtual tour of a coronavirus vaccination program in the parking lot of State Farm Stadium in Glendale. “Are you a freshman at the university?” Biden chuckled after asking several questions from the nurse. “No,” Hayes replied. Biden continued chuckling, “I’m teasing… you look like a freshman.” “Thank you,” Hayes replied. Biden thanked the nurse for her work, and then shifted the focus to Vice President Kamala Harris to ask “the real questions.” Harris praised the nurse, saying she was a “role model” for others around the country working to speed up the vaccination process. Biden then followed up by asking Hayes if she was a nurse. “Are you a nurse?” he asked. She replied that she had been a resident nurse for about nine years. “I know having been a significant consumer of health care, I can tell … doctors let you live, nurses make you want to live,” Biden said. “If there’s any angels in heaven they’re all nurses, male and female, that’s not an exaggeration that’s the God’s honest truth.” ...
Biden tells veteran nurse she looks like a college freshman
close Video Mollie Hemingway: Seems like Biden is trying to 'kill the economy' Harold Ford Jr. joins FOX News contributors Hemingway and Trey Gowdy on the 'Special Report' All-Star panel Maybe it’s a good thing he was 2,000 miles away. President Biden had an awkward, flirty moment Monday during a video conference event with health care workers in Arizona, during which he stopped to compliment one nurse for her youthful appearance — even gushing that she looks "like a freshman." Biden got up to some of his "creepy" old antics when he responded to the nursing supervisor’s detailed description of giving COVID-19 shots by asking her about her age. "Are you a freshman at the university?" Biden asked Brittney Hayes at the end of a conversation in which she had laid out the process for getting shots to people at the State Farm Stadium vaccination site in Glendale. "Noo. No," said Hayes, who had described herself as being from the Arizona State University at the start of the talk — but who made clear she was the "head charge nurse" at the vaccination site. "You look like a freshman!" Biden said, chuckling. "Why thank you," she said through her face mask. BIDEN SAYS TEAM 'EXCEEDING' GOAL OF 100 MILLION VACCINE DOSES IN FIRST 100 DAYS But Biden wasn’t done. After Vice President Kamala Harris took a turn asking questions, Biden continued to show incredulity that Hayes was a medical professional. "And you’re a — a nurse?" Biden said on the video call, which was streamed publicly. "I am, I’m a nurse. I’m an RN. I’ve been an RN for about nine years now," she said. Registered nurses typically have at least two years of college education or a bachelor’s degree. The president replied: "I know having been a significant consumer of health care, I can tell — I know the vice president knows this, when I say it — doctors let you live, nurses make you want to live.

Justin Simmons appears headed for another franchise tag from Broncos. Here’s what a compromise might look like for both sides.
The calendar has flipped from 2020 to 2021 and the general manager’s office is occupied by George Paton instead of John Elway, but this February is the same as last February for the Broncos and safety Justin Simmons. He is a free agent unlikely to hit free agency. The NFL’s franchise tag window opens Tuesday and barring a last-minute contract agreement, the Broncos are expected to use the tender on Justin Simmons for the second consecutive year, essentially taking him off the market. The deadline to apply the tag is March 9. For Paton, keeping Simmons should be a priority because the Broncos’ depth chart has enough holes without losing Simmons. It is illogical to create another one. For Simmons, who hasn’t missed a snap the past three seasons and led the Broncos with five interceptions last year, staying in Denver appears to still be his preference. It’s up to Rich Hurtado, the Broncos’ chief contract negotiator, and Todd France, Simmons’ agent, to accomplish what they couldn’t last summer — strike a long-term agreement that keeps Simmons in jersey No. 31 through his 31st birthday. In the last 13 years, only seven players have been tagged in consecutive years, so Simmons is in rare company. In the last decade, only five safeties have been franchise tagged, including Minnesota’s Anthony Harris last year along with Simmons. This year, Simmons, the Los Angeles Rams’ John Johnson, the New York Jets’ Marcus Maye and New Orleans’ Marcus Williams are all candidates. A player tagged for the second straight year is offered a tender of 120% of his previous year’s salary. Simmons made $11.441 million in 2020, so his salary would jump to $13.73 million, which is fully guaranteed if he signs it. That would not preclude the sides from continuing to work out a long-term deal. Simmons, 27, is productive (16 career interceptions) and durable (his 3,211 consecutive snaps played is currently the longest streak for a defensive player). “For Justin, just looking ...
Pilot reports encounter with ‘object that almost looked like’ a missile
An American Airlines pilot reported an encounter with an unidentified object during a flight he had on Sunday. "I hate to say this — looked like a long cylindrical object that almost looked like a cruise missile type of thing moving really fast. It went right over the top of us," the pilot said in a radio transmission that was recorded by blogger Steve Douglass, the Arizona Republic reported . The object was seen by the pilot of American Airlines Flight 2292 as it was traveling from Cincinnati to Phoenix while over New Mexico. ADVERTISEMENT "Following a debrief with our Flight Crew and additional information received, we can confirm this radio transmission was from American Airlines Flight 2292 on Feb. 21," American Airlines said in a statement to the Arizona Republic. New Mexico has missile ranges in the state, and the pilot asked “Do you have any targets up here? We just had something go right over the top of us.” “We never test in that area,” Scott Stearns, director of public affairs for White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico, responded. The FBI in Albuquerque, N.M., would not confirm to The Hill if they would launch an investigation into the incident. "The FBI is aware of the reported incident. While our policy is to neither confirm nor deny investigations, the FBI works continuously with our federal, state, local, and tribal partners to share intelligence and protect the public," a spokesperson said. Many UFO sightings are reported every year, with other pilots reporting similar incidents in previous years. The Hill has reached out to American Airlines and White Sands Missile Range for comment.
