Every Sunday morning‚ legacy media outlets are taken over by elected officials‚ aspiring elected officials‚ administration insiders‚ and the usual collection of talking heads — all of whom are there to discuss specific policies‚ push talking points‚ or simply promote their own campaigns. For those who don’t spend their Sunday mornings glued to the television — and their Sunday afternoons attempting to unravel a full week’s worth of network and cable news media spin — The Daily Wire has compiled a short summary of what you may have missed. ABC News‚ “This Week”: Radio host Charlamagne tha God addressed the apparent open lane for third-party candidates in the 2024 presidential race‚ and placed the blame fully on Democrats for failing to get the job done. “This Week” host Jonathan Karl raised the question‚ noting that Democrats have expressed concern about third party candidates — like Cornell West or someone running under the No Labels banner — and asked Charlamagne to respond. “That’s their fault‚” he said. “That’s the Democrats’ fault. Because if Democrats were doing what they were supposed to be doing — especially for their base‚ which is black women a lot of times … 90% of black women vote or Democrats‚ 80% of black men — if you were taking care of your base‚ you wouldn’t have those issues. If Democrats were doing what they were supposed to be doing for the American people‚ they wouldn’t have those issues.” Charlamagne tha God tells @JonKarl that Democrats are at fault for the potential rise of third party candidates. “If Democrats were doing what they were supposed to be doing for the American people‚ they wouldn't have those issues.” https://t.co/e2q3LnBDfW pic.twitter.com/26NkNkwyJv — This Week (@ThisWeekABC) February 18‚ 2024 CBS News‚ “Face the Nation”: On CBS’ “Face the Nation‚” Professor Douglas Brinkley — a presidential historian — marked the one-year anniversary of former President Jimmy Carter’s transition into hospice care‚ and he noted that Carter is still “alert and eating and has an ability to understand what’s going on around him.” President Jimmy Carter entered hospice care one year ago today.

With a standout gold finish and the ‘T’ badge‚ these kicks are for true Patriots. Wrapped with an American flag on the collar‚ they shout out to the brave and the free. The Never Surrender sneakers are your rally cry in shoe form. Lace-up and step out ready to conquer.” But Tapper’s guests were not convinced. “That’s a lot of pairs of cheaply made tennis shoes‚” former White House Communications Director Kate Bedingfield said. .@Kbeds: "That's a lot of pairs of cheaply made tennis shoes" CNN's @JakeTapper‚ Kate Bedingfield‚ @FinneyK‚ @ScottJenningsKY and @MattsGorman on Trump's latest branding opportunity: shoes. #CNNSOTU pic.twitter.com/G0I67ezbfQ — State of the Union (@CNNSOTU) February 18‚ 2024 CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP NBC News‚ “Meet the Press”: On NBC’s “Meet the Press‚” host Kristen Welker pressed Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) on President Joe Biden’s economy — noting specifically that no matter what the numbers say‚ the American people don’t appear to be feeling the kind of economic strength that Biden continues to boast about. Welker also pointed out the fact that Biden‚ when he ran in 2020‚ had promised to make himself the “bridge” that would lead to a new‚ younger “generation of leaders” going forward. So far‚ as he campaigns for reelection later this year‚ he does not appear to be stepping aside. “Do you think it’s time to pass the torch?” Welker asked Klobuchar directly. “I’m a believer in President Biden because I believe he’s a good‚ moral person that has the backs of the people of this country‚” Klobuchar said‚ but avoided answering the question head on.

According to the same Fox News poll‚ Bream noted that voters also appeared more confident in former President Donald Trump when it came to handling the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas.

In an unprecedented display of solidarity and political activism‚ truckers across the United States are taking a bold stand against what many see as a politically motivated legal judgment. The heart of their protest lies in the recent ruling by a judge‚ which ordered President Trump and his sons to pay a staggering $350 million to the state of New York. This decision has sparked outrage within the trucking community‚ leading to a powerful response. The movement began with a former trucker‚ who once ran for Congress‚ announcing that a significant number of truckers are refusing to make deliveries to New York City. This action is not just a protest against the ruling itself but a statement against what they perceive as a continuous attack on President Trump‚ while their own grievances and concerns remain ignored by the government. Liberals are laughing at truckers who said that they are going to stop shipments to NYC. People easily forget that American truckers run this country. As a New Yorker I’m rooting for them because they can make all the difference. pic.twitter.com/pI0D9eLRVt — I Meme Therefore I Am (@ImMeme0) February 18‚ 2024 Social media platforms have become a battleground for these truckers to voice their dissent and rally support. One trucker emphatically stated that if anyone sees his truck delivering in NYC‚ it should be reported as stolen because he refuses to deliver there. This sentiment is echoed across the trucking community‚ with many showing their unwavering support for President Trump and expressing their frustration with the current political climate. The decision to halt shipments to NYC is not taken lightly. Truckers play a crucial role in the American economy‚ ensuring the delivery of goods across the country. Their protest highlights the significant impact they can have when unified for a common cause. It’s a demonstration of their ability to push back against policies and decisions they view as unjust‚ drawing parallels with European farmers’ successful protests against progressive governments. Besides truckers talking about not delivering to NYC‚ there are apparently some shipping companies joining the protest. pic.twitter.com/2sI2kzpPFf — I Meme Therefore I Am (@ImMeme0) February 18‚ 2024 This movement is not isolated. Truckers have previously shown their capacity to mobilize and protest against governmental actions they disagree with. Notably‚ during the COVID-19 pandemic‚ truckers in Canada and the US protested against harsh lockdown measures‚ showcasing their patriotism and commitment to freedom. The truckers’ protest against the NYC delivery is a clear message: they are tired of political games and want their voices heard. They argue that the legal system is being weaponized against President Trump‚ interfering with the electoral process and undermining democracy. As Monday approaches‚ the resolve of these truckers only strengthens. They are prepared to redirect their loads away from New York City‚ standing firm in their belief that justice and fairness should prevail over political vendettas. Their actions speak volumes about their dedication to their principles and their support for President Trump. This nationwide protest by truckers is a significant moment in American politics. It underscores the deep divisions within the country and the lengths to which ordinary citizens are willing to go to stand up for what they believe in. As this situation develops‚ it will undoubtedly continue to spark debate and draw attention to the broader issues at play in American society today.   The post Nationwide Truckers Rally in Solidarity Against Unprecedented Legal Assault on President Trump appeared first on The Conservative Brief.

The Jackson Hole‚ Wyoming‚ skiers recently lost a downhill race against an unlikely competitor. While gliding down the slope‚ shouts of “Watch out!” and “Go faster!” rang out as skiers shouted warnings. One person managed some pretty good footage‚ probably using a GoPro or similar camera. What he saw racing down the slopes with fellow skiers and snowboarders was a full-grown moose in Jackson Hole! Image from TikTok. The gently sloping terrain on this portion of the course seemed perfect for the moose to cut loose. It ran full tilt and had no trouble speeding past skiers. The sure-footed moose seemed fairly comfortable among the humans. The Jackson Hole ski resort cuts through the moose’s backyard‚ so it was “at home.” Slowing to a canter under the chair lift‚ the moose accelerated again on a slightly steeper part of the hill. Image from TikTok. Comments under the video were a mixture‚ including‚ “The last thing a beginner skier wants to hear is ‘Go faster‚'” Other commenters thought that the moose might feel like it is being chased. Still‚ others thought the moose was having fun with the Jackson Hole skiers. Any of the above might be true. We’re not moose whisperers‚ so we can’t say for sure‚ but the humans do not seem to bother the moose. We aren’t sure if this is a male or female moose. While only male moose grow antlers‚ they typically shed them in December or January and grow new ones in the spring. As the “race” competitors approach the bottom of the slope‚ the moose calmly struts off the side of the course like a champion. No humans were harmed in the making of this video. The moose won the race‚ after all! @abcnews This moose decided to test out the slopes at a ski resort in Jackson Hole‚ Wyoming. #moose #skiing #jacksonhole #wyoming ♬ original sound – ABC News – ABC News You can find the source of this story’s featured image here.

Well‚ that’s not quite true — especially when we’re talking about the glorious sunset phenomenon that occurs every winter in Big Sur‚ California!

On cloudy days‚ viewers often go home disappointed. @markian.b It’s that time of the year when the sun lines up with keyhole and lasts for couple of weeks #california #sunset #bigsur #visitcalifornia #canonusa #teamcanon @canonusa #beautifuldestinations #earth ♬ original sound – Mark Bouldoukian Photographer Mark Bouldoukian managed to get a fantastic clip of Pfeiffer Beach’s famous sunset phenomenon on TikTok. Commenters can’t believe how beautiful this footage is! One user even called the keyhole “the door to heaven.” “Mother nature at its best‚” another person wrote.
