Nancy Pelosi explains her 'lack of confidence' in Dr. Birx
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi addresses her recent criticisms that she doesn't have confidence in Dr. Deborah Birx's handling of the Covid-19 ...


I remember cringing when I watched that press conference and being so disappointed Dr. Birx just sat there and let him ramble about injecting people with disinfectant. I don't think she's complicit but afraid. Afraid of losing her position.

Uh, Oh. Pompeo Subpoenaed By The House For Dirty Politics
According to a press release from the House’s Committee on Foreign Affairs, Rep. Eliot Engel (D-NY)  “issued a subpoena to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo as part of the committee’s investigation of his apparent use of Department of State resources to advance a political smear of former Vice President Joe Biden.”


Donnie, you silly man! You said your friend Herman Cain died of the “China Virus.” Listen, I’m no Chinacologist, but they’re not the ones who held a flop rally in Tulsa where attendees skipped masks. Everyone knows it’s your fault. Maybe soon we’ll call it the Resigner Virus! - Bette Midler

There's A Mrs. Pompeo? 
As Secretary of State Mike Pompeo prepared to tour the Middle East last year, senior State Department officials debated whether they could legally justify his wife Susan’s desire to travel with him.
Susan Pompeo had been invited to events in two capitals, Cairo and Abu Dhabi, by foreign officials. But circumstances had grown complicated: a U.S. government shutdown meant the State Department had to be exceptionally careful with spending, and her presence would incur some costs to taxpayers.

Floridians Are Suffering Because Their Governor Kept The State Open For Spring Break. Dumb Ass.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) has seen his approval rating nosedive in recent weeks as the state has become one of the new epicenters for the coronavirus pandemic.
A poll by Mason-Dixon Polling & Strategy released Friday shows that 45 percent of respondents said that they approved of the DeSantis' job performance, while 49 percent disapproved.
This is a stark contrast from the last iteration of the survey in March when 62 percent of Florida voters said that they approved of the job DeSantis was doing, with just 24 percent saying they disapproved.

Trump May Delay The Election. Probably Accompanied By A Nuke Strike.
President Donald Trump explicitly floated delaying November's presidential election on Thursday, lending extraordinary voice to persistent concerns that he will seek to circumvent voting in a contest where he currently trails his opponent by double digits.


Sen. Lamar Alexander (R) reminds reporters Pelosi would become president if the election were delayed past Jan. 20, when prez terms expire: "if we were to delay the election past January 20, the President would be the Speaker of the House. So I wonder if anyone's thought about that." - Kaitlan Collins, CNN tweet

President Donald Trump is likely to be the only world leader speaking live from New York at this year’s United Nations General Assembly debate, scheduled to take place Sept. 22 to 25.
Kelly Craft, the U.S. ambassador to the U.N., told a virtual event Thursday morning that Trump would be “the only world leader to be speaking in person,” noting that “this is the 75th anniversary (of the U.N.), so it makes it even more special.”
