Trump Fox News town hall disaster, friendly hosts can't save him
In an attempt to counter-program the final Republican primary debate before the Iowa caucuses, former President Donald Trump held a town hall on Fox News, and the event turned out to be a disastrous affair. During the town hall, Trump openly admitted to profiting millions from foreign governments, particularly China, while he was in office, justifying the financial gains by claiming they were for services rendered. The event featured questionable statements, such as Trump's assertion of preventing terrorist attacks in 2016, a time when he was not yet president. Trump also disclosed that he had already selected a vice president for a potential second term but opted to withhold the name. The town hall touched on various topics, including Trump's treatment of those working for him, and his nuanced stance on anti-choice bills in the context of abortion discussions. Despite the chaotic nature of the event, Trump is highly likely to emerge victorious in the upcoming Iowa caucuses and the Republican primary overall.
Hunter Biden WALKS OUT on Marjorie Taylor Greene, MTG TRIGGERED
Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden, created a surreal scene in Washington, DC, as he unexpectedly appeared at a House Oversight Committee hearing. The hearing focused on a House Republican investigation into Hunter's alleged financial dealings with Ukraine, China, and Russia, despite lacking concrete evidence. As Hunter walked out during Marjorie Taylor Greene's speech, tensions escalated, with Greene accusing him of being afraid and demanding answers. The incident highlighted the ongoing dispute over whether Hunter should testify behind closed doors or in public, with Republicans insisting on the former. Democrats argue for transparency and believe Hunter's presence alone challenges the narrative that he is unwilling to testify. Despite the unclear purpose of Hunter's appearance and subsequent departure, it triggered strong reactions from Republicans, particularly Greene, whose response became a focal point of the incident. The situation adds to the complexity of the ongoing political drama surrounding Hunter Biden's alleged financial dealings and the attempts to uncover the truth behind the allegations.

CRINGE: Biden challenger Dean Phillips has ZERO people show up to event
Dean Phillips, a Democratic contender in the 2024 presidential race, faced a notable setback as not a single voter attended his recent event in New Hampshire. With a touch of humor, Phillips referenced the sparse turnout, quipping about the irony of "building it" but having no one show up, drawing parallels to the iconic movie "Field of Dreams." The situation, exacerbated by the cold weather in New Hampshire, prompts reflections on the challenges lesser-known candidates like Phillips encounter in garnering attention and support. As the 2024 Democratic primary unfolds, these circumstances shed light on the complexities of campaign dynamics, media interactions, and the uphill battle faced by candidates striving to make an impact on the public consciousness. The episode underscores the unpredictable nature of political campaigns and the uphill battle that is launching a primary campaign against an incumbent president.

Violent political threats surge as 2024 begins
There has been a concerning surge of violence in American politics, highlighted in a Washington Post article titled "Violent political threats surge as 2024 begins, haunting American democracy." The article delves into various instances, including swatting attempts, bomb threats, and death threats against officials who ruled against Donald Trump. Notably, one of Trump's lawyers suggested that ordering political assassinations might be covered by presidential immunity. The broader context explores the aftermath of the January 6th, 2021 events, where political violence was legitimized. The article underscores the need for individuals, law enforcement, and elected officials to denounce and address the escalating political violence. Despite historical contexts where violence may have been deemed necessary, the current state of the United States does not justify resorting to physical violence for political objectives. As the nation approaches the 2024 election, the outlook is somber, with concerns raised about violence targeting individuals involved in voter registration and get-out-the-vote efforts.

I was asked why is Canada so weak by and American and I told him this;
I am going to take a wild guess but I will put money on this question being written by an American whose extensive travel experience in Canada has been through Disney and Bugs Bunny cartoons.
What country is it whose president proclaimed the U.S. to be the “bright, shining city on the hill.” The truth is that neon city is a shallow front. Behind that front is a second-rate country. Check the facts.
The U.S. cannot care for it’s people:
lowest life expectancy of the developed countries, seven years less than Canada,
highest infant/maternal mortality rate of the developed countries,
higher per capita SARS-CoVID mortality rate than Canada.
cannot educate its people — U.S. education ranked 22nd in the world, Canada sixth.
cannot protect its people — 647 mass casualty events in 2022; Canada — zero.
Canada is ranked sixth for freedom, the land of the free is not even in the top 20.
There’s lots more but let’s leave it at that and ask why is the U.S. so fake because Canada is genuine unlike the self-proclaimed greatest country on Earth.
