Unfortunately for Jen, the theatrics did little to quell the harsh questions from reporters like Fox News’ Peter Doocey, who grilled Psaki over Biden’s handling (or lack thereof) of the Southern Border after it was revealed that Border Patrol encountered nearly two dozen members of the terror watch list attempting to cross into the US undetected over the past year.
Something she, predictably, had little in the way of an answer for.
After opening the press conference, the Easter Bunny was promptly shooed off stage by WH Press Secretary Jen Psaki, who joked “enough of the Bunny business.”
After four years of libs crying about Trump ‘failing to uphold the dignity of the Oval Office, at least now they can rejoice because the “adults are back in charge,” per CNN.
What a joke.
Watch:
Keep in mind, Biden has only been at the helm for just over a year and we are literally at the point where he is being paraded around by handlers cosplaying as furries. How much further can the dignity of the presidency fall than this guy?
29-Year-Old Robert Keith Tincher III, placed his grandmother in plastic bags and tossed her inside a chest freezer where he left her to die and now faces charges of felony murder, malice murder, aggravated battery, and concealing the death of another.
The Rome, Georgia resident took advantage of his 82-year-old grandmother’s December fall—instead of calling for emergency responders he dragged her through their home, broke her bones, and stuffed her into a plastic bag he placed in a chest freezer. She was still alive when he closed the lid. Floyd County investigators say that the man knew she was still breathing when he made the decision.
For months thereafter, Tincher lived with the corpse but fearing its imminent discovery, he moved his grandmother’s body to a storage unit in March.
He told investigators that he “saw her back broke going into the freezer” and that there wasn’t any incident or altercation that led to her murder.
In his twisted confession, Tincher then told investigators that his grandmother, Doris Cummings, was the “only family member that gave him the courtesy and love and attention he needed.”
Police were tipped off about the 82-year-old by relatives who reported her missing after Tincher indicated to them that both he and his grandmother were moving out of the state. Tincher is currently held at the Floyd County Jail.
Tincher recalled hearing “numerous bones break” as he hauled his grandmother’s body to the freezer sometime in December and “acknowledged her back broke” when he stuffed her in it, according to a statement obtained by McClatchy News.
“Approximately four months later, accused had the freezer moved from the residence to another location in Floyd County” where her remains were discovered, authorities said.
Cummings, who police said suffered several injuries before her death, had been reported missing by relatives who said they couldn’t get in touch with her after a supposed move out of state at the end of 2021, according to authorities. Tincher was supposed to go with her, they said, and was living with her before she disappeared.

Looking for a stove with great simmering powers that’s also slim, durable, and packable? The GSI Pinnacle Pro Stove hits high in all of those areas.
As soon as it hit shelves in 2021, this revelatory stove from GSI Outdoors became one of the most compact and capable camp stoves on market. The GSI Pinnacle Pro 2-Burner has powerful yet easy-to-adjust burners as well as an extra-slim design, folding legs, and a windscreen for use in variable circumstances.
One of the most highly awaited stoves for the industry, the Pinnacle took us close to a year to get our hands on for testing. And we’ve been using it often ever since.
In short: For us, the Pinnacle ($250) lived up to its innovation award at 2019’s Outdoor Retailer trade show — winning our 2020 Best in Show award and the praises of several of our staff.

The beauty of this sleek, stainless steel (and may I say, slightly sexy) stove is the design. Everything is slimmed down but still performs and functions great. It isn’t clunky. The burners are strong, and the dials offer great simmer powers to cook a variety of foods and meals. I personally boiled water and cooked everything from breakfast scrambles and sausages to stir frys, pastas, and sauces.
“When I’m car camping, I tend to try and get a little indulgent with my cooking. And a stove that gently simmers and quickly boils like the Pinnacle Pro brought with it cooking confidence I’ve never before felt at the campsite,” said staff tester Chris Potter after testing.
Slim Profile, Setup, and Storage

At 1.4-inches thin, this stove is the portable future of car camping stoves. Everything on this stove is incorporated into the other parts. Everything is slim but functional — and zero space is wasted.
Currently, I’m storing my Pinnacle Pro stove in a gap between gear bins in my closet — a gap less than 2 inches wide. Naturally, the Pinnacle Pro Stove fits with no problem.
We found the stove’s windscreen and burners to be slightly better incorporated (and flatter) than other compact two-burners. And the incorporated piezo igniter (one for each burner) worked well, even in colder conditions.
One of our editors experienced an issue in cold temperatures and wind. With gusts around 15 mph and temps in the 40s, he was unable to get 2 quarts of water to a boil. In this scenario, even the windscreens failed to allow the water to boil. A backup stove, however, did so in short order. Our editor noted a larger than usual gap between the burner and grate may be the culprit.
Also, because the grate above the burners is collapsible and not removable, it’s slightly hard to clean around the burners (drips, crumbs, etc.) once the cooking is done. But with a small kitchen cloth and some fancy fingerwork, it’s definitely doable. And while I didn’t use the folding legs very often as I was cooking outside (if you plan to use this stove on a surface like in an RV be sure to use the legs for safety), they are fairly sturdy.
Overall in testing, the Pinnacle Pro really won out over other very good camp stoves because of its packed size and cooking performance.
“Four were in the Rio Grande Valley Sector, 4 in Del Rio Sector, 3 in El Paso Sector, 2 in Tucson Sector, 2 in Yuma Sector, 4 in El Centro Sector and 4 in San Diego Sector,” Fox News reports.
The report noted that Republican lawmakers have been seeking to make the information public.
“Reporting indicates that multiple individuals with terrorist ties have been recently apprehended after illegally crossing the border, and that such encounters may be increasing,” Reps. James Comer and John Katko, who serve as ranking members on the Oversight and Homeland Security committees respectively, wrote to DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas last month.
“The American people deserve to know whether President Biden’s weak border policies are allowing terrorists to enter our homeland,” they said.
Former Border Patrol Chief Rodney Scott has also been warning that terrorists are crossing at a never before seen rate.
“We have terrorist threats we can’t get into in this type of a forum but they are real,” he told Fox News’ Bret Baier in October.
The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday rejected to review a case filed by a St. Louis-based natural gas company concerning a lower court’s decision that could shut down a pipeline that runs about 65 miles from Scott County, Illinois, to St. Louis, Missouri.
Spire STL Pipeline LLC and Spire Missouri Inc. filed an appeal to the Supreme Court last year after Chief Justice John Roberts rejected Spire’s stay request.
“The first is a petition to overturn the U.S. Court of Appeals decision to say Spire should have never been operating in the first place. The second filing is a request to grant Spire an with a Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) Certificate. The certificate gives Spire the ability to operate its pipeline fully,” KSDK reported.
Today, the SCOTUS rejected Spire Pipeline’s appeal without comment.
A lower court’s decision to toss the federal government’s approval of the already-built Spire STL Pipeline in Missouri won’t face U.S. Supreme Court review, the high court decided Monday.
Spire STL Pipeline LLC and Spire Missouri Inc. wanted the justices to intervene after the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit vacated the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s original certificate order for the project. Households and businesses in the St. Louis area risked losing gas service as a result of the agency’s delay and the D.C. Circuit’s decision, the companies told the court Dec. 3.
FERC failed to justify its decision that there was a need for the project, the appeals court said. The agency also ignored evidence of self-dealing, according to the ruling.
The agency urged the high court to skip review after it approved the pipeline’s request for a temporary certificate to keep gas flowing during the remand proceedings.
The question in Spire’s petition “has no current practical significance” to its ability to operate the pipeline, the agency told the court in March. The agency received backing from the Environmental Defense Fund, which said the D.C. Circuit’s decision wouldn’t threaten natural gas supply. The evidence instead showed that keeping FERC’s orders in place would harm the public, according to EDF.
“While we are disappointed by today’s decision from the U.S. Supreme Court, the Spire STL Pipeline will continue to operate under the currently effective Temporary Certificate issued by the FERC on December 3, 2021,” said Scott Smith, president of the pipeline.
“We are confident that when people have an opportunity to review the proven benefits of the STL Pipeline, they will agree that there is a critical need to keep this infrastructure fully operational to ensure continued access to reliable, affordable energy for families and businesses in the greater St. Louis region,” Smith said.
Five witnesses have invoked the Fifth Amendment and refused to cooperate with special prosecutor John Durham as he investigates the origins of Spygate.
Durham revealed in his filing last week that Clinton lawyer Michael Sussmann’s data on the Russian Alfa Bank relayed to the FBI and CIA was “not technically plausible” and “user created.”
Constitutional expert Jonathan Turley said Durham’s latest filing reveals five witnesses connected to Hillary Clinton’s campaigned invoked the 5th Amendment or plan to invoke the 5th and “refused to cooperate with Durham in fear they might incriminate themselves in criminal conduct.”
Recently, Durham revealed extremely damaging evidence against Sussmann. However, this is the first full description of the Clinton associates refusing to cooperate under the Fifth Amendment. Durham noted that he gave immunity to an individual identified only as “Research 2.” He then noted that this was made necessary by the refusal to cooperate by key Clinton associates:
“The only witness currently immunized by the government, Researcher-2, was conferred with that status on July 28, 2021 – over a month prior to the defendant’s Indictment in this matter. And the Government immunized Researcher-2 because, among other reasons, at least five other witnesses who conducted work relating to the Russian Bank-1 allegations invoked (or indicated their intent to invoke) their right against self-incrimination. The Government therefore pursued Researcher-2’s immunity in order to uncover otherwise-unavailable facts underlying the opposition research project that Tech Executive-1 and others carried out in advance of the defendant’s meeting with the FBI.”
The Wisconsin Supreme Court tossed the state election map by Democrat Governor Tony Evers. This opens the door to the Republican-crafted plan for the 2022 midterms.
The Wisconsin Supreme Court delivered a serious blow to Democrats after rejecting the left’s redistricting map and adopting one drawn up by Republicans for the state’s upcoming elections.
The state’s highest court made its decision last week after the U.S. Supreme Court in March threw out the voting map for state elective offices drawn up by Wisconsin Democrat Governor Tony Evers.
With its 4-3 decision Friday, the state court issued its ruling so late that state Democrats will likely not have have time to try and fight the implementation of the Republican-crafted districting plan for the 2022 midterms, according to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel.
A 25-year-old resident of Philadelphia had his door kicked in by two men impersonating police officers, but when they threatened to kill him as they zip-tied his hands, he realized something was afoot.
The resident, who had a license to carry, acted quickly to free his hands. Pulling out his own gun he shot at the nearest intruder who wore a fake police badge around his neck.
“I pulled out and shot right at him and that’s it, the 25-year-old told Fox 29. Then he added that everyone who can legally own a gun ought to buy one citing the surging crime in Philadelphia which is on track to record five times as many instances of defensive gun use year-over-year. “Everybody who abides by the law should get one.”
The suspect was shot in the head, arm, and chest and pronounced dead at Jefferson Torresdale hospital, police say. Police are searching for the other suspect and have located cameras in the neighborhood to help with their investigation.
“They tied his hands with zip ties around his back and threatened to kill him if he made any sudden moves. That’s when our victim realized these individuals were not police officers,” Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Scott Small told WPVI-TV.
Police briefly detained the victim and his girlfriend, who was upstairs at the time of the shooting, but quickly released them. No charges have been filed.
According to Chief Inspector Scott Small, the deceased victim, who had a fake police badge around his neck, and another man approached an apartment where a 25-year-old was coming out.
Small says the two men said they were police officers and forced their way inside the apartment.
Officials say the suspects threatened to shoot and kill the 25-year-old as they were attempting to zip tie his hands.
When the resident realized the two men were not police officers, he pulled out his own gun and shot one of the suspects, killing him, authorities say.
A record winter snowstorm barreled through the northern plains of North Dakota this week. The storm, which dumped as much as three feet of snow in some locations across the state, shut down local travel and caused residents to shelter indoors for most of the week. But this blizzard may just be the miracle that North America’s waterfowl needed, as it could help alleviate the prolonged drought that has plagued the Prairie Pothole Region over the past few years.
North Dakota saw lots of rain this fall, according to Delta Waterfowl’s chief policy officer John Devney, and he called this week’s blizzard a perfect storm of “duck snow.” “Duck snow” is what he calls the wet and heavy snow that occurs around freezing temperatures. Its increased moisture content means the snow is more likely to cause runoff, filling in the potholes and ponds that makes the Prairie Pothole Region so important for waterfowl populations.
“The situation we found ourselves in last year was pretty dire,” says Delta Waterfowl’s chief policy officer John Devney. “We were dry across the whole of the prairies … [so] we will take every snow we can get. But when you get this heavy, wet, late-spring duck snow, it’s even more beneficial.”
There are three major issues with these dry seasons: fewer ducks nesting in the prairies, lower re-nesting rates, and low duckling survival. “These three things that mean the most to making baby ducks—all of them were out of whack,” says Devney.
These problems were highlighted by the North Dakota Game and Fish Department’s July survey, which indicated that the number of broods dropped 49 percent from 2020, putting it 23 percent below the 55-year average.
“Conditions are not good statewide and, after a high count in 2020, the decline in wetlands counted represented the largest one-year percentage-based decline in the 74-year history of the survey,” said NDGFD migratory game bird management supervisor Mike Szymanski in a press release announcing the survey results. It’s a little early to tell the outcomes of this storm, says Szymanski, but it’s a good start towards alleviating the current drought in North Dakota.
Next month, the effects of this storm and other weather events will become evident when NDGFD conducts its annual breeding survey.The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service also plans to continue its annual surveys of the entire Prairie Pothole Region this year. This duck count, which includes Canada, is returning after a two-year hiatus due to COVID travel restrictions.
The hope is that the storm, which has brought a record amount of snowfall to North Dakota and the Northern Plains region, will also improve habitat and bring a renewed sense of optimism for the future of waterfowl in the nation’s Duck Factory.
A U.S federal judge ruled on Monday that Biden’s mask mandate on public transportation is “unlawful.”
A judge in Florida overturned Biden’s mask mandate on Monday, claiming that it is unconstitutional.
Last week, the Biden regime announced to extend the travel mask mandate for another two weeks until it is extended again. The current travel mask mandate was set to expire today, April 18.
According to the Associated Press, the Biden Regime is extending it for at least two more weeks to ‘monitor an uptick in Covid-19 cases.’
A U.S. judge in Florida said on Monday that a mask mandate on public transportation is unlawful, overturning a Biden administration effort to reduce the spread of COVID-19.
The Transportation Security Administration and Federal Aviation Administration declined to comment. The White House and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) did not immediately comment.
The Florida lawsuit was filed by a group called the Health Freedom Defense Fund in July 2021.
The CDC first issued a public health order requiring masks in interstate transportation in February 2021. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) issued a security directive to enforce the CDC order.
The judge sent the issue back to the CDC. It was not immediately clear if the judge’s order would take immediate effect.
