Former President Donald Trump tipped the scales in the U.S. Senate race in Montana on Friday‚ endorsing retired U.S. Navy SEAL and businessman Tim Sheehy on the same day that Rep. Matt Rosendale (R-MT) announced that he was getting in the race. “I LOVE MONTANA! Tim Sheehy is an American Hero and highly successful Businessman from the Great State of Montana‚” Trump posted on social media. “He is strongly supported by our incredible Chairman of the NRSC‚ Steve Daines‚ and many other patriotic Senators and Republicans who have endorsed our Campaign to‚ MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! I also respect Matt Rosendale‚ and was very happy to Endorse him in the past – and will Endorse him again in the future should he decide to change course and run for his Congressional Seat.” “But in this instance‚ Tim is the candidate who is currently best-positioned to DEFEAT Lazy Jon Tester‚ and Regain the Republican Majority in the United States Senate‚” Trump continued. “Tim is a Political Outsider‚ Strong on the Border‚ the Military/Vets‚ and our constantly under siege Second Amendment. He will stand tall in the fight against the Radical Left Democrats‚ who are Destroying our Country. Also‚ he is far more likely to Defeat Lazy Jon. America First Patriot Tim Sheehy has my Complete and Total Endorsement!” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Rosendale’s entrance into the race is a scenario that Republicans wanted to avoid because instead of Sheehy focusing on unseating Sen. Jon Tester (D-MT)‚ he now has to spend valuable resources in what will likely turn into an intense primary fight.

Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro slammed President Joe Biden’s response to a special counsel report showing that he had memory issues during an appearance on the Megyn Kelly show on Friday where they also discussed his new docu-series‚ “The Divided States of Biden.” Kelly had Shapiro on to analyze the fallout from the release of a report from Special Counsel Robert Hur that concluded that while Biden “willfully retained and disclosed classified materials‚” no charges should be brought because of the president’s mental acuity. Biden responded to the release of the report by holding a press conference where he made repeated mental mistakes. Shapiro ripped into Biden over the press conference‚ pointing out how it only highlighted the president’s weaknesses. “I mean‚ it truly was the worst press conference I have ever seen by far. I’ve been watching these things for well over 20 years at this point‚ and obviously I’ve watched a lot of tape. That was horrendous‚” Shapiro said. During the conference‚ Biden mixed up the names of the leaders of Egypt and Mexico. “He makes the mistake of mixing up el-Sisi of Egypt with AMLO of Mexico‚ which‚ for the record‚ might explain why we have an open border. He’s asking the wrong guy to close the border‚” Shapiro quipped. WATCH: Ben Shapiro Visits Southern Border‚ Sheds Light On Illegal Immigrant Invasion As Fight Between Texas And Biden Heats Up He added that the media would now have to decide whether to cover Biden fairly or continue to bypass his mental struggles. “What a complete disaster area for the president. It’s hard to see‚ frankly‚ how he survives this. The media basically now have a choice. The media can either openly report what’s going on‚ and every day from now until the election will be a question about his mental state‚” he said. Shapiro noted that Hur’s report found that Biden did wrongly handle classified documents‚ but decided not to pursue criminal charges because Biden could claim poor memory if dragged in front of a jury. Kelly and Shapiro also discussed his new docu-series‚ titled “The Divided States of Biden‚” where he explains the the ongoing border crisis caused by Biden’s policies‚ which have led to a massive spike in illegal immigrants entering the U.S. along with a rise in fentanyl and human trafficking. .@benshapiro discusses his new series 'Divided States of Biden'‚ on the @MegynKellyShow: "This country is in serious and dire trouble‚ and 'Divided States of Biden' is designed to highlight each of these issues from a location where it's actually happening." pic.twitter.com/IS6Y9M8bzw — Daily Wire (@realDailyWire) February 9‚ 2024 “We’re basically going to all the sites in America where the issues are most relevant. We went down to the southern border‚” Shapiro said‚ discussing how he and his team traveled to Arizona to witness firsthand the consequences of Biden’s border policies. On Thursday‚ Shapiro said he traveled to Kensington in Pennsylvania to examine an area that had been ravaged by fentanyl. “I’ve never seen anything remotely like it. It’s the worst thing I’ve ever seen in the United States. It looks like something from Mad Max. You’re talking about miles stretches of road in which wall-to-wall people are just shooting openly in the public‚ rotting flesh‚ lighting fires‚ hunched over because of what the drugs are doing to them‚” he said. He also traveled to Camden‚ New Jersey‚ and saw the effects of rising crime. “‘Divided States of Biden‘ is designed to highlight each of these issues from a location actually happening — so it’s not just us in the studio talking about it‚ you can actually see the footage for yourself and see what it looks like on the ground where most of us aren’t going to go.” WATCH: 

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said on Friday that Special Counsel Robert Hur’s remarks about Biden’s mental fitness — mainly his serious memory issues — do “not live in reality.” Hur’s remarks were contained in a report on his criminal investigation into Biden’s handling of classified material‚ which said that Biden should not be charged in part because no jury would ever convict him because he was an elderly man with a “poor memory.” “If the special counsel says President Biden has significant limitations on memory‚ then who is helping him run the country?” a reporter asked Jean-Pierre during Friday’s press briefing. “The President of the United States runs the country‚” she responded. “The commander-in-chief runs the country.” “How can he be trusted with nuclear codes?” the reporter pressed. “I get that you are saying nobody in the building would say they have an issue with his memory‚ but just the little part of what we get to see‚ he has made mistake after mistake after mistake on camera this week.” Jean-Pierre responded‚ “I want to be very clear here. The reality is‚ that report‚ that part of the report does not live in reality. It just doesn’t.” When asked if the special counsel was “lying” about Biden’s memory‚ Jean-Pierre claimed that the special counsel’s remarks were “gratuitous.” “It is unacceptable. And it does not live in reality‚” she claimed. “That is just the facts.” WATCH: Asked how Biden can be trusted with the nuclear codes if he constantly makes mistake after mistake on camera: KJP: “That part of the report does not live in reality.” pic.twitter.com/EtzlMGTA3i — Conservative War Machine (@WarMachineRR) February 9‚ 2024 TRANSCRIPT: PETER DOOCY‚ FOX NEWS: If the special counsel says President Biden has significant limitations on memory‚ then who is helping him run the country?

I get that you are saying nobody in the building would say they have an issue with his memory but just the little part of what we get to see‚ he has made mistake after mistake after mistake on camera this week.

And it does not live in reality. That is just the facts. And‚ and‚ look‚ it is a closed case. That’s what the special counsel said.

Days after three American soldiers were murdered by Iran‚ the Biden Administration has finally retaliated by firing missiles into Iraq and Syria where they made scary exploding noises so loud the Iranians could almost hear them all the way in Iran and‚ boy oh boy‚ wouldn’t they have been frightened then? State Department Spokesman John Kirby said the U.S. warned the Iranians that something really scary was going to happen in Iraq and Syria so that the Iranians would be so frightened‚ they’d have to stay in Iran where it was safe. Kirby said‚ “My hope was the Iranians would scream in terror‚ and we could laugh at them and say they sounded like women. You can bet they wouldn’t like that very much so it would be quite some time before they thought about murdering any more of our soldiers‚ believe you me.” Later‚ Kirby changed his story and said the State Department had not warned the Iranians before the attack and the fault lay with CBS News who had publicized the upcoming attacks after receiving a press release about them from the State Department. President and Venal Houseplant Joe Biden made a statement about the retaliatory attacks in a speech to several statues in the Capitol rotunda whom he mistook for other long-dead people he thought he’d been talking to recently. Biden said‚ “These meaningless attacks on places far from Iran are just the first of many meaningless attacks we plan to unleash on far away places. Like maybe Texas. I hate those people. The Iranians will just have to live in fear because they will never know where or when the next meaningless attack will fall on someplace far away until the very moment when we warn them about it to make sure they’re safely in Iran. As president‚ this is the most difficult decision I’ve ever had to make because it means people will die — all right‚ not die‚ but you know what I mean. They would die if one of these missiles hit them‚ although I don’t see how that could possibly happen so that made the decision somewhat easier. But don’t for a minute think that military action is our only planned response to Iran. We’re also letting them build nuclear weapons so we won’t be able to attack them anymore because they’ll have nuclear weapons and those things are really dangerous. Then when we don’t attack them they won’t be mad at us and will stop murdering our soldiers‚ so problem solved. Also we’ll make sure not to put any more sanctions on them so they can make a lot of money selling oil which only makes sense because nuclear weapons are expensive and if they can’t afford them‚ the whole plan falls apart. After that‚ we’re going to draw a line in the sand‚ probably in the desert in Syria somewhere near where we fired the missiles‚ to let them know we will not tolerate their killing any more Americans — unless they just want to cross our southern border and kill them here‚ then I don’t know how we could possibly stop them. All in all‚ I am telling you this is a great victory‚ just like in Afghanistan when we retreated in humiliating chaos and I then told you it was a great victory. So this is just like that.” WATCH: The Andrew Klavan Show In the same speech‚ according to one of the statues who was there‚ the president also reiterated his support for his vice president‚ saying‚ “I didn’t just appoint this historic sort of black person Camela or Kamahla or whatever the hell she calls herself. I also love her. And her hair smells great. So she’s on the team‚ unless I’m still alive in November‚ then I gotta dump her cause no one can stand her‚ but that seems unlikely. I’m barely alive as it is.” The spokesman for the Iranian military‚ Mohammed Jihad Mohammed Jihad Jihad Jihad Mohammed‚ responded to the president’s threats by saying‚ “Americans can sleep soundly in their beds tonight‚ knowing that we will be shaking in our boots as we creep quietly into their bedrooms. I hope this will reassure them so they don’t do anything dangerous‚ like re-electing Donald Trump.” * * * Andrew Klavan is the host of “The Andrew Klavan Show” at The Daily Wire.

Pet Appreciation Week always occurs during the first full week in June. This celebratory week is not as widely known as National Pet Week‚ which occurs in May. However‚ it is a great opportunity to appreciate everything that our cats do for us. Celebrations for this week are often small or non-existent. However‚ that doesn’t mean you can celebrate the week yourself by pampering your feline. Taking the time to make your cat homemade treats‚ planning an outing they would enjoy‚ or just setting aside time to cuddle can make this week special. Our cats often don’t need much to feel extra-loved. Even if you don’t have a cat‚ you can celebrate by volunteering at a shelter or donating to a pet charity. Many rescues focus on cats specifically‚ and you may want to consider donating to one of these this week. The 9 Ways to Celebrate Pet Appreciation Week with Your Cat There are tons of ways you can celebrate this week with your feline. You’ll need to consider your cat’s specific preferences when planning a celebration. What one cat loves may completely terrify another feline. Here’s a list of our favorite ideas: 1. Plan a toy hunt Purchase some new toys (preferably with catnip) and hide them around the house. Your cat will have fun sniffing them out‚ especially if they love catnip. If your cat has a hard time‚ sprinkle some catnip in the area of the toy to give them a hint. 2. Gourmet food Our cats are often stuck eating the same thing over and over again. Consider whipping up a special meal at some point during this week. You can either cook your cat some food yourself or purchase gourmet cat food from the store. You can find tons of cat-friendly cakes and similar recipes online. 3. Make a cardboard maze Image Credit: marekusz‚ Shutterstock If your cat loves cardboard‚ save up your boxes over a few weeks. Then‚ spread them all over the floor in a huge cardboard maze. For some added fun‚ throw in some catnip and toys. A playful cat may stay entertained for hours with this setup. 4. Spoil with gifts You can also consider purchasing a customized collar or other accessories for your feline. While your cat may not appreciate these as much as you do‚ it can be a great way to make the week special. 5. Donate unused toys Image Credit: Veja‚ Shutterstock If you decide to purchase new toys for your feline to celebrate this week‚ consider donating your old ones. Shelters and cat rescues are in constant need of new toys and will appreciate the thoughtfulness. 6. Design a photoshoot If your cat will put up with it‚ you can set up a photoshoot and snap some pictures for your feline. Use props like hats and cardboard cutouts to make your photos stand out. You can then share them on social media‚ encouraging others to celebrate the day. 7. Get crafting Photo by Jess Bailey‚ Unsplash There are tons of tutorials out there for DIY cat toys. Consider crafting a few new toys for your feline during the week and seeing how they like them. If your cat doesn’t typically get new toys‚ this can be a great week to change that. 8. Learn more about cats You can only care for your cat as much as you’re knowledgeable about cats. You can’t do or change what you don’t know! Set aside some time this week to learn about cats. You’ll find tons of articles on our website aimed to help you do just that. 9. Invest in cat-friendly houseplants Image Credit: t.sableaux‚ Shutterstock There are many types of cat-safe plants that grow well inside‚ including catnip. Consider purchasing a few of these potted plants and bringing them inside for your cat to enjoy. The best herbs grow rather fast‚ allowing your cat to enjoy them without killing the whole plant. How Did Pet Appreciation Week Start? The start of this week is less well-documented than other national weeks. However‚ it’s thought to have been started by a few small businesses online. From there‚ it grew as more businesses offered sales and initiatives during this week. Today‚ it’s often confused with National Pet Week‚ which takes place in May. These two weeks are exceptionally similar‚ but they take place at different times. National Pet Week also has a larger following and larger organizations supporting it‚ while Pet Appreciation Week tends to be more of a grassroots movement. What Are the Goals of Pet Appreciation Week? As the name suggests‚ the main point of this week is to celebrate the impact cats (and other pets) have on our lives. Felines provide companionship and emotional support. However‚ they often don’t get the credit they deserve. Sadly‚ our cats aren’t with us very long‚ and they tend to be underappreciated while they’re here. This simple week reminds us to celebrate our cats while they are here. You can also use this week as a way to strengthen your bond with your feline. There is always something we could be doing better with our cat’s care‚ and this week can be the kick we need to make the harder changes. Maybe we need to play with our cats more to help them lose a few pounds‚ for instance. This appreciation week also promotes responsible cat ownership. As we stated above‚ you can only care for your cat if you know how. This week is a great time to raise awareness of proper cat care and get even more informed on your cat’s needs. You can also support local shelters and rescues who are trying to save cats from homelessness. Advocating for animal welfare is also important‚ as this helps ensure that cats everywhere are properly cared for. If you know an ethical‚ quality cat breeder‚ you can use this week as an opportunity to reach out and tell them thanks! It’s only through great breeding that the next generation of cats is made healthier. Final Thoughts Pet Appreciation Week is a great opportunity to celebrate your feline. It’s a week to realize just how much your cat means to you and do something about it! We’ve listed plenty of ideas above‚ but you don’t have to do all of them. Even doing one thing can be a great way to celebrate. Don’t overwhelm you or your cat by trying to do too much. On top of celebrating your cat‚ you can also donate to shelters and other organizations that help cats in need.
