Bipartisan Commission

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy on Thursday renewed and emphasized his call for a bipartisan commission to investigate allegations that members of the House contributed to the unrest that took place on Jan. 6. It's a goal shared by Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

The (Really Ridiculously) ODD Couple?

Mike Lindell, MyPillow CEO and adamant supporter of former President Donald Trump, reportedly had a secret romance with 30 Rock star Jane Krakowski, according to reports.

We're serious, they are seriously saying that.

This Doesn't Help

Things like this probably aren't helping with the media's trust issue mentioned in our loser column:

• WATCH: What’s the Dopiest Thing Reporters Yelled to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris During Walk to White House?
• Media Begins Biden Presidency With Overt Fawning and Flattery
• CNN Fawns Over First Biden Administration Press Briefing

The Worst Thing

“This is the only president in American history who incited an insurrection against Congress that could have resulted in assassinations and hostage-taking and, conceivably, the cancellation of a free presidential election and the fracturing of a democracy,” says presidential historian Michael Beschloss in a new interview. “That’s a fact, and it won’t change in 50 years. It’s very hard to think of a scenario under which someone might imagine some wonderful thing that Donald Trump did that will outshine that. He did, literally, the worst thing that an American president could ever do.”

Limbaugh Melts Down

Rush Limbaugh churned out a series of conspiracy theories regarding the election and the inauguration, during a rant claiming that the new president did not legitimately win the 2020 election.

Hannity Melts Down

Sean Hannity was not at all impressed with President Biden's inaugural address. "“I’m going to be very blunt, honest, and objective here,” he said. “It sounded like a student council president acceptance speech! Zero substance.

Chinese Embassy Melts Down

Twitter has locked the official account for China’s Embassy to the United States for a message claiming the country’s “reeducation” camps helped women to become more than “baby-making machines.”

Lincoln Project to Target 'Jim Crow Caucus'

Lincoln Project co-founder and never-Trump conservative Rick Wilson told Y’all-itics, a Texas-focused political podcast, that now that Donald Trump is no longer president, the super-PAC will shift its focus to Sen. Ted Cruz.
 

They said this wouldn’t happen — Joe Biden was not going to be inaugurated as the 46th president on Wednesday.

Of course, it did just happen — and responsible media and political figures recognized that reality as far back as November 4th.

But for these die-hard Trump supporters, misleading a legion of dead-end MAGA fans — and fueling toxic conspiracies like those from QAnon extremists — was more important than grappling with now ex-President Donald Trump’s clear, certified loss in the 2020 election.

Fauci Announces Big Change

Chief Medical Adviser on COVID-19 to the President and Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Dr. Anthony Fauci told the World Health Organization that President Joe Biden will keep the U.S. in the global body and will meet its “financial obligations,” reversing a Trump-era decision to exit the organization.

Dr. Fauci spoke at a 4 a.m. session of the WHO Executive Board Meeting, and started right off by thanking the organization and announcing the reversal of Trump’s decision to leave the group he spent much of the past year scapegoating for the coronavirus pandemic.

Well worth watching.
