Trump’s Impeachment Defense Team Could Get an Unlikely Addition

One of President Donald Trump’s greatest allies in Congress, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), on Wednesday said he would be willing to resign from Congress in order to join Trump’s defense team in the upcoming Senate impeachment trial.

“There were some of us who checked to see where we could be the ones to go defend [President Trump] in the Senate because we would be honored to and the word we got back from House Ethics is that we could not, as sitting members of the House, go and defend him in the Senate,” Gaetz explained on the War Room Pandemic podcast, with host Steve Bannon.

“Would you step down from Congress? Would you resign in order to defend the president in the way you want to defend him?” Bannon asked.

Gaetz said although he loves being in the House and representing his constituents, he would be part of Trump’s defense team if he was asked.

Biden Pick: Biological Males Have a Right to Compete Against Girls in Sports (VIDEO)

President Joe Biden’s nominee to lead the Department of Education, Dr. Miguel Cardona, said he will work to protect a new executive order that mandates biological males be allowed to compete against biological females. Specifically, he will work to make sure the practice is allowed in high schools, where female athletes are often stripped of scholarship opportunities and athletic titles after being forced to compete against biological men.

“What do you think in general about boys running in girls track meets, like they’ve been doing in Connecticut?” Republican Senator Rand Paul asked during Cardona’s confirmation hearing on Capitol Hill.

“I think it’s critically important to respect the rights of all students, including students who are transgender, and that they are afforded the opportunities that every other student has to participate in extracurricular actives,” Cardona responded. . .

“So you don’t have a problem then with boys running in the girls track meet, swimming meets, name it. You’re okay then with boys competing with girls?” Paul asked.

“I believe schools should offer the opportunity for students to engage in extracurricular activities, even if they are transgendered. That is their right,” Cardona said.

WATCH: Dem Senator Lists the Reasons Biden’s One Executive Order Was a Fatal Mistake; House Republicans Introduce Bill to Reauthorize Keystone XL Pipeline

By Townhall. Montana Senator Jon Tester (D) on Tuesday said President Joe Biden’s decision to cancel the Keystone XL Pipeline was a mistake. He came to the conclusion based on his personal experience as a farmer.

“I’ve been a supporter of the Keystone Pipeline. There have been two caveats and they’ve been basic caveats: you do it to the safety standards and you respect private property rights. I think the Keystone Pipeline folks could have done a better getting the Fort Peck Tribe on board and they need to continue working to do that but in the end I think it’s a good project,” Tester explained. “I believe in climate change but I also think this one pipeline isn’t going to turn it around, isn’t going to turn our climate around. It’s not going to make it a markedly worse situations.”

The Montana senator said he supports the Keystone Pipeline but he also supports research diving into greenhouse gas emissions, such as carbon dioxide, that are released into the air.

“These might sound like two different philosophies butting heads but I’ll tell you, in my real life, I’m a farmer,” he said. “And we’re not where we need to be in this country for replacing diesel fuel with something else, in a tractor, for example, or a semi that’s going down the road.”

House Republicans Introduce Bill to Reauthorize Keystone XL Pipeline Following Biden’s Executive Overreach

By Townhall. A large group of House Republicans, led by North Dakota Congressman Kelly Armstrong, introduced legislation that aims to preserve the Keystone XL Pipeline. The Keystone XL Pipeline Construction and Jobs Preservation Act greenlights construction and operation of the pipeline, and deems a presidential permit unnecessary. The resolution is a direct rebuke to President Biden’s move to pause construction of the pipeline, which will cause an influx of job loss.

The legislation is co-sponsored by a total of 85 House Republican lawmakers, including GOP Leader Kebin McCarthy (CA), Whip Steve Scalise (LA), and Conference Chair Liz Cheney (WY).

Disturbing Footage: Rochester Police Handcuff and Pepper-Spray 9-Year-Old Girl, Police Body-Camera Shows

The Rochester, New York Police Department released body-camera footage Sunday showing a 9-year-old girl being handcuffed and pepper-sprayed by officers who were responding to a domestic disturbance, reportedly including a potentially stolen vehicle.

Last Friday afternoon, officers received a 911 call reporting “family trouble” and upon arrival found a 9-year-old girl dressed in a black hoodie and colored leggings. The girl “indicated that she wanted to kill herself, and she wanted to kill her mom,” Deputy Police Chief Andre Anderson said at a press conference Sunday. Other reports indicate that during the call, officers were approached by the girl’s custodial parent, who said she was afraid her daughter would harm herself or others.

The 9-year-old initially tried running away, Anderson said. Video footage shows an officer chasing her and attempting to provide assistance, telling the girl to “come here” and assuring her she was “not in trouble.” The girl’s mother later arrived, kicking off an argument between mother and daughter in which the mother hurled profanities and insults at the child.

Screaming and crying, the girl repeatedly told officers, “I want my dad.” Footage shows the girl resisting law enforcement, and she appears to have been handcuffed lying down in the snow while pleading with officers to stop. Anderson said officers were trying to escort the girl to the hospital, in accordance with the state’s Mental Hygiene law, but she refused to get into the back of the police car, at one point kicking an officer. . .

When the girl was halfway inside the police car, refusing to get fully inside as officers commanded, a female officer said, “This is your last chance, otherwise pepper spray’s going in your eyeballs.” Law enforcement tried to get her to relax and take a deep breath, but about a minute later, a different officer said, “Just spray her at this point.” The female officer is seen shaking a can that appears to be pepper-spray and reportedly discharged the irritant into the girl’s face.

Viral Video Shows Irate Parent Screaming at Virginia School Board for Continuing to Keep Students Out of School. His Remarks Stun Them Into Silence.

An irate parent has gone viral overnight after confronting Virginia’s Loudoun County School Board for keeping its students out of schools amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

Aliscia Andrews, former Republican nominee for Virginia’s 10th District, shared the video on Twitter, where it exploded. . .

Andrews — also a Marine veteran — shared the video late Tuesday night and captioned it, “As a parent, this pandemic has brought forth some incredible challenges. This dad has had enough, we all have. No real metrics to safely open the schools, while the [school board] continues to kick the can further down the road. Many parents feel just as he does. #LCPS #openschools[.]”

In the video, a masked dad be seen addressing the school board.

He calmly begins, “You should all be fired from your day jobs, because if your employers knew that you were more inefficient than the DMV, you would be replaced in a heartbeat. I literally just finished a conference call because I’m having to multitask to be here to address you guys. You’re a bunch of cowards hiding behind our children as an excuse for keeping schools closed. You think you’re some sort of martyrs because of the decisions you’re making when the statistics do not lie that the vast majority of the population is not at risk from this virus.” (Read more from “Viral Video Shows Irate Parent Screaming at Virginia School Board for Continuing to Keep Students Out of School.

Insanity: Medical Editor Says Americans Should Wear 2 Face Masks (VIDEO)

CBS4 Medical Editor Dr. Dave Hnida says that Americans should wear not one but TWO face masks if they want to ensure full protection against COVID-19.

“Specifically what we’re saying is that two masks may actually equal the protection you would get from N-95 masks, which is considered the best mask there is short of a complete respirator-type unit,” Hnida said.

Pointing out that football coaches and Joe Biden have been seen “double masking,” Hnida said, “Even in my own family, when we have outside contact — as limited as it may be — we double mask,” adding that “it’s something you may want to consider.”

However, the report warns that “three masks may be going too far, since that could interfere with the ability to breathe.”

“Like the way one mask does, except three times as bad, so that you actually asphyxiate,” commented Dave Blount.

WATCH: Sen. Rand Paul Shreds George Stephanopoulos for Being a Liberal Hack

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) on Sunday spared with ABC News host George Stephanopoulos over the results of the 2020 presidential election. According to Paul, so-called “journalists” like Stephanopoulos repeatedly interject themselves into the voter fraud narrative, saying there is no evidence fraud existed.

“A threshold question for you, this election was not stolen, do you accept that fact?” the host asked.

“Well, what I would say that the debate over whether or not there was fraud should occur. We never had any presentation in court. Most of the cases were thrown out for lack of standing, a procedural way of not hearing it. A law was changed in secretary of state, not the state legislatures,” the senator explained. “There’s still a chance that those actually work their way up to the Supreme Court” . . .

“I have to stop you there. No election is perfect, but there were 86 challenges filed by President Trump and his allies in court, all were dismissed. Every state certified the results after counts and recounts. The Department of Justice, led by William Barr, said there’s no widespread fraud. Can’t you just say the words this election was not stolen?” [Stephanopoulos] asked.

Paul reminded the host of one important fact: a large portion of America feels like something nefarious took place during the election.

WATCH: Chris Wallace Gets Hot and Bothered By Joe Biden’s Inauguration Speech

“Fox News Sunday” host Chris Wallace on Wednesday gushed over President Joe Biden’s Inauguration Day address, calling it the best inaugural speech he has ever heard.

“I thought it was a great speech. I’ve been listening to these inaugural addresses since 1961. John F. Kennedy, ‘Ask not.’ I thought this was the best inaugural address I have ever heard. Obviously, a lot of this event today, a lot of the president’s speech was colored by the emotion of the fact that exactly two weeks ago, 14 days ago, there was a mob of thugs, of insurrectionists, of domestic terrorists, on the inaugural stand. Joe Biden was saying that democracy prevailed,” the Fox host explained. “We were able to get through that. He was talking about how we need to get through that in the future if we are going to be a united country.”

“He talked about white supremacy, domestic terrorism. He said, We must confront it. We will defeat it. My whole soul is in this, uniting our people.’ I think it was less an inaugural address and more part sermon, part pep talk, talking directly to the American people, saying, ‘Hear me out. We have a right to dissent peacefully, but our disagreement must not lead to disunion.’ It was a call to our better angels, a call saying, ‘Look, we’ve got tremendous challenges: COVID, the economy, racial injustice, climate change, but there’s nothing we can’t do if we come together,” Wallace recounted.

‘I Will Fire You on the Spot’: Biden Says He Will Have Zero Tolerance for Staffers Disrespecting Others (VIDEO)

President Joe Biden drew a hard line Wednesday for incoming appointees, making it clear that he would not tolerate them disrespecting each other.

During a virtual swearing-in ceremony with dozens of appointees and their families, Biden said that he would fire “on the spot” any he observed talking down to their coworkers. . .

“I want to thank your families for the sacrifices,” Biden continued. “But I’m not joking when I say this. If you are ever working with me and I hear you treat another colleague with disrespect, talk down to someone, I promise you I will fire you on the spot. On the spot. No ifs, ands or buts. Everybody, everybody is entitled to be treated with decency and dignity. That’s been missing in a big way the last four years.”
