Friday on FNC’s “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) praised newly elected Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) for living up to the promises he made during the tumultuous four-day-long House Speaker elections last week. “Bravo, Speaker McCarthy,” he said. “This was not an agreement that we had at the beginning of last week, but as the week progressed, Speaker McCarthy, to his great credit, understood this was important to a great many of us. And when we get this 14,000 hours out, we’re going to be able to see the extent to which the federal agents and assets that were present that day, may or may not have increased the level of criminal acuity. We’re going to be able to see their coordination with one another.” “And we’re also going to be able to see if there is exculpatory evidence that would show that people never intended to violate a law, even though they might have been technically out of compliance with whatever the standard was, at that time, based on … [Read more...] about Gaetz: ‘Bravo, Speaker McCarthy’ — ‘Fulfilling the Commitment He Made to Us’

Elokuvan oli alkujaan määrä saapua elokuvateattereihin jo kesällä 2021, mutta koronapandemia on vaatinut veronsa myös hirmuliskojen suunnitelmista. Lykkääntynyt ensi-ilta nähdään 10. kesäkuuta 2022.

Thursday, during an appearance on FNC’s “Your World,” Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA) weighed in on his issues with granting an increase to the debt ceiling without an agreement to spending cuts from the Biden administration. The Pennsylvania Republican lawmaker referenced how President Joe Biden declared the pandemic over but noted that spending was still at pandemic levels. “Well, look, Kevin McCarthy has gone to the president, said, look, I’m willing to talk about it, but we can’t maintain the status quo,” Perry said. “In 2019, we were spending about $4.5 trillion. In 2020, that turned out to about $6.5 trillion. And it has stayed up there ever since then, even though President Biden has declared the pandemic over.

In the US, the Rural Digital Opportunity Fund and Broadband Equity, Access and Deployment programs encouraged internet service providers to bring higher-speed access to places that previously wouldn't have been profitable to serve.
