Republican Governor Ron DeSantis says the ports in Florida are open and could help solve the problem with the supply chain issues and logjam of shipping containers waiting to be emptied. This took place during a press conference in Jacksonville today, amid social media seeing photographs of shipping containers just waiting out at sea. DeSantis said: “You’ve seen these images of ships docked off the coast of various cities of the United States where there’s a big logjam, that, of course, is impacting what we see on our store shelves, we see more empty shelves than you’re used to seeing.”…

Things aren’t looking too good for Jussie Smollett after a judge denied the request for his lawsuit to be dismissed. The former Empire Actor will go to trial where he faces criminal charges of lying to police related to an incident where he claimed he was attacked and the alleged attackers said anti-gay slurs and mean racist things to him. Smollet’s attorney, Nenye Uche, suggested his rights were being violated because Jussie already did some community service and gave up a $10,000 bond under another deal with a Cook County prosecutor to drop some charges. But nope, Judge James Linn…

There was at least six acres of land seized in Hidalgo County, TX, and it’s in connection with a court case that took place during former President Donald Trump’s attempt to build a wall. The land was taken from the Cavazos family and they’re not very happy about…

Hunter Biden books sales not looking great after failing to reach the top ten. The son of President Joe Biden had plenty of major press and promotion, being on television shows and catching some online buzz among Democrats, and even Republicans talking about it –  but it didn’t help push enough book sales to secure that coveted top ten sales achievement. Hunter Biden’s book, “Beautiful Things: A Memoir” had sold less than 11,000 copies during the first week in publication, according to Publishers Weekly. The sales report on Publishers Weekly showed that Hunter Biden’s book only sold 10,638 copies that…

Georgia could take another potential revenue loss after this. Will Smith and Antoine Fuqua plan to move their big-budget movie out of Georgia as a result of the recent new voting restrictions recently set in place. The movie is called “Emancipation” and it’s a runaway slave thriller that appears to be running away from Republican Gov. Brian Kemp. It wasn’t too long ago that MLB moved the all-star game out of Atlanta and into Denver, despite Denver being considered more “white” than Atlanta – a move that many criticized was a mistake, but MLB has gone through with it thus…

This comes after Biden received “two Pinnochios” for suggesting that his proposal would create 19 million jobs, which was stated in a Moody’s analysis, and as stated by CNN, had suggested that the United States economy could possibly add about “16.3 million jobs over the same period if the infrastructure proposal does not get passed.” A report by Nicholas Ballasy made the claim that about the mathematics behind the proposal and how much it could potentially cost, saying…

Activst David Hogg announced he was starting a pillow company to compete with Mike Lindell and MyPillow.

I want to thank Will for his partnership and wish him absolutely nothing but success with the future of Good Pillow.” He…

President Joe Biden gave Easter remarks and suggested people have a moral obligation to get “the shot” but did not mention the word “Jesus” during his remarks. Biden himself is a Roman Catholic, so his lack of Jesus talk on a religious holiday may have caught many of his religious supporters off guard. Easter is known to Christians and Catholics as the holiday in which Jesus Christ rose from the dead, essentially coming out of his own version of a lockdown. As Fox News reports, it’s somewhat of a tradition for presidential figures to give an Easter address that commemorates…

First Lady Jill Biden turned heads this weekend when she donned a pair of fishnet tights, setting up the stage for a massive amount of tweeting over the outfit.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has rejected an invitation to throw the first pitch during the Texas Rangers’ home opening game coming up today.

I went one time for 13 days without sleeping, and smoking crack and…

MLB has officially pulled the all-star game out of Atlanta over a controversial new voting law was set in place by Republican Governor Brian Kemp.

Host of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert has put his foot down and made the demand that his fans and anyone else start to “get rid of” one particular GOP member and those who are similar. Colbert targeted Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) in his monologue, referring to him as an “idiot” and using him as an example of the GOP members he’d like to have removed from their positions of power. His method of getting rid of them is to simply vote them out of office. Colbert spoke in a ten minute monologue and unleashed his thoughts and opinions…

Vice President Kamala Harris is being accused of disrespecting the United States military after a recent video showed her walking past honor guards without paying them any mind. Harris is now facing backlash for not saluting the military as she approaches and boards Air Force 2. Many other vice presidents, particularly Mike Pence, and even current President Joe Biden, are often seen saluting the military as a sign of respect. This is a tradition that dates back to the Ronald Reagan years, but the salute itself is not part of any proper protocol placed on paper. Even though presidents and…

It was Democratic Senator Sheldon Whitehouse who is now calling upon Merrick Garland to look into the FBI and their investigation on now Justice Kavanaugh.

The chairman of the Republican National Committee, Ronna McDaniel, has suggested that the GOP remains neutral in the next presidential election and that she would not encourage anyone, including former President Donald Trump, to run in the 2024 election. Last year the RNC seemed highly motivated to get Trump reelected, but the next time around might be different in the sense that the GOP remains neutral and allows the candidates to battle it out for the top spot. Trump has hinted that he may run for the White House again in 2024, but McDaniel suggests the GOP will not support…

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) issued a warning to his own party, suggesting that if Republicans back the second impeachment to convict former President Donald Trump, that they risk the possibility of one-third of the party leaving the GOP.

Former President Donald Trump has opened a new office in Florida that has already grabbed people’s attention on social media.

President Joe Biden made a drastic decision regarding the Keystone Pipeline that found him in hot water, conjuring criticism from unions and Canadian leadership.
