The House Judiciary Committee is calling CBS on the carpet over the firing of veteran reporter Catherine Herridge, who was probing the Hunter Biden laptop scandal, and the subsequent seizure of her personal records, The Post has learned. In a scathing letter sent to CBS News President Ingrid Ciprian-Matthews on Friday — obtained exclusively by The Post — Rep. Jim Jordan, who chairs the committee, demanded the network reveal who at CBS or parent-company Paramount Global “made the decision to terminate” Herridge. The committee said it also wants to know why her confidential files were “seized” as part of the termination.

Well, 'Son of a bi**ch' Most main stream media is not honest or truthful. Aggregators and blogs are the way to go. I like Dan Bongino and Victor Davis Hanson a lot

These hearings usually end up being a semi-plausible simulation of concern and competence. Like busy work for school kids.

Many of these committees do the job they are sworn to do and present steaming platters of waste, dirt, and malfeasance at the door of the Justice Dept. It's not the fault of the Members if miscreants go unpunished. I feel the same deep frustration all of us here do, but I honor the relentless work done to uncover and expose those who should be dealt with. Imagine their frustration.

I suppose CBS can fire anyone that they want to fire. What does the Government do when they fire a person. They walk them out with nothing. They don't allow them to take their computer or what they were working on with them. Now I don't mean to say I agree with them just that CBS did the same thing they do.

It was a head-scratcher when Herridge joined CBS. It was only a matter of time before they betrayed her - although 799 other CBS hacks being cut loose was a nice palate cleanser. Herridge is clever and hopefully she took copious notes on what happened to CBS alum Sharyl Atkisson, including the shocking intrusions and entrapments staged by federal spooks. And if she's clever enough hopefully she made several copies of any and all records and stored them in various places - cloud, physical location etc.

Jim Jordan is really good at calling for stuff, hearings, etc. I think he should work on getting the J6 political prisoners out of prison. Just sayin', but his biggest and consistent focus, since he's head of the Judiciary Committee, should be the Department of Injustice.

My comment to all those criticizing Mr. Jordan. The people who designed the Federal government deliberately distributed the power among different groups so that one group could not dominate everyone else. The Congressional people can hold hearings and bring the light of exposure to various nefarious people and activities, but the actual prosecution has to be done by the Justice department. The trouble we are presently having is because the 'Justice' department has been corrupted into the 'Just-Us' department, with blatantly harsh treatment of traditional Americans, and blatantly lenient treatment of Leftists. Compounding this is that the Lamestream Media is in on the corruption, so that those Americans who get their information from the Lamestreams never see this corruption. The only hope that I see is that the Lamestreams appear to be declining in popularity and the alternative news sources appear to be growing, so that hopefully enough people will see the corruption to overcome the crookedness being practiced during the elections, and things will eventually be set right.

Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley has become one of the “better surrogates” for Democrats in 2024, California Gov. Gavin Newsom said Friday. Haley, who is Donald Trump’s last remaining GOP primary rival, has attacked the former president throughout the race, arguing that the 77-year-old is too old to serve another term White House and warning that his “chaos” will hurt Republican chances at the ballot boxes in November. “I think she’s one of our better surrogates, so I hope she stays in [the GOP primary race],” Newsom, 56, told CNN host Jake Tapper, arguing that her criticisms of the former president are “spot on.”

This segment was low-hanging fruit, but it’s always a good reminder to know your enemy's thoughts and end game. The Left's agenda items are often televised on MSNBC and CNN. MSNBC is by far the worst of the two, and ex-NBC News reporter Heidi Przybyla, now with Politico, demonstrated that Thursday night with her screed against Christianity. Of course, it was framed under the guise of Christian nationalism. Still, the commentary was very much grounded in mainstream concepts about where rights come from, as Thomas Jefferson is the person who wrote about what Przybyla found unsettling (via Mediaite):

Her one problem: Republican primary voters no longer see her that way. According to January’s national NBC News poll, 34% of Republican primary voters view Haley in a positive light, versus 36% who have a negative opinion of her (a -2 net rating).

The Russian government has vowed to retaliate against U.S. sanctions on a new Russia-Germany pipeline, work on which was suspended on Saturday. U.S. President Donald Trump signed legislation last week that provides for sanctions against individuals and companies involved with the vessels laying the Nord Stream 2 pipeline under the Baltic Sea from Russia to Germany. The move prompted a Swiss company that operates ships laying sections of the pipeline to suspend the work.

Unsettling Post footage and interviews with US residents along the Canadian border offer a rare glimpse into the thriving migrant smuggling operation that has taken hold up north in addition to the debacle to the south. Residents of bucolic Swanton, Vt. — a town of about 6,500 people located just across Lake Champlain from New York and about a 10-minute drive from the Canadian border — have been getting a troubling firsthand look at the US’s northern illegal-migrant crisis for months. The town’s plentiful woods make the leafy hamlet an ideal spot for hunters — and also provide ample camouflage for smugglers,

Alpha News has reported the St. Louis Park School District will now allow parents to opt out of their children from any curriculum that promotes LGBTQ ideology. The move by the district comes after the First Liberty Institute and True North Legal sent a letter on behalf of six Muslim families that stated forcing Muslims to learn LGBTQ lessons is a violation of the First Amendment. The six families previously requested the school to notify them of when LGBTQ-centered lessons were being taught so they could opt their children out of those particular lessons.

Schools are just teaching honest history. That’s been the lie educators, teachers unions and the mainstream media have parroted for three years in response to the growing chorus of parents of all political stripes asserting schools are indoctrinating the nation’s children in critical race theory and leftist politics. Now the paper of record concedes we parents were right. In a front-page article in Friday’s New York Times, “Ethnic Studies Collides With Israel-Hamas War,” education reporter Dana Goldstein exposes the truth about K-12 education. The article is ostensibly about the blatant antisemitism embedded in California’s ethnic-studies curriculum, which must be in all public high schools by 2025 and a graduation requirement by 2030.

Donald Trump won’t face the corporate death penalty after all. A New York judge on Friday spared the ex-president that worst case punishment as he ruled in a civil case alleging Trump fraudulently misrepresented financial figures to get cheaper loans and other benefits. Still, Trump got slammed hard, facing big cash penalties, outside supervision of his companies and restrictions on his borrowing. In a pretrial ruling last year, the same judge threatened to shut down much of the Republican presidential front-runner’s business by calling for the “dissolution” of corporate entities that hold many of his marquee properties.

The FBI identified numerous folders, including many labeled “EYES ONLY VPOTUS” which contained highly classified material related to intelligence sources and methods.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom thinks President Joe Biden should absolutely debate Donald Trump in the 2024 general election campaign. Biden has not yet committed to debate Trump this election cycle after the two went head-to-head multiple times in 2020. But Newsom, a top surrogate for Biden, suggested that the president is prepared to go against his predecessor and that suggestions he won't is 'pure projection.' Trump refused to participate in the primary debate this cycle because he claimed he was running as an incumbent and shouldn't have to go up against the B team.
