The day after President Joe Biden s first press conference last month, Fox News reporter Peter Doocy arrived at the White House press briefing feeling unloved. Having not been called on at the formal Q&A with Biden, and dwelling on his oversized sense of importance, Doocy raised his hand and asked if there as an official White House policy of not calling on him he wanted to know if there was a coordinated campaign to ignore the Fox staffer constantly in search of a partisan fight.
Looking slightly bemused while giving her patented third-grade-teacher head tilt that conveys a willing patience, but also an unspoken and stinging, really? , White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki patiently addressed the grievance:

Perspective by Dan O’Donnell
For more than a month now, Democrats and their allies in the media have been in a state of high dudgeon over the riot at the U.S. Capitol, which they have hysterically labeled the gravest threat to the republic since at least 9/11 and perhaps Pearl Harbor.
In reality, their response to it the utterly unconstitutional Senate trial of a private citizen is a far greater threat to the long-term stability of American democracy than some jackass in Viking horns.
The United States Senate has as much constitutional or legal authority to try Donald Trump this week as it does Kim Kardashian. While the public spectacle of such a show trial might be tantalizing revenge porn for liberals desperate for one last shot at the former President, it sets a dangerous, untenable precedent.

By the numbers, Joe Biden is president of the United States because he won the swing states of Arizona, Georgia, and Wisconsin by a combined total of some 43,000 votes.
But he also owes his victory to the groundwork laid by Democrats and their media allies one year before, during the first impeachment of Donald Trump over his supposedly strings-attached demand that the Ukrainian government investigate alleged corruption involving Biden’s son, Hunter.
The first impeachment failed to oust Trump from office, but it helped secure the White House for Biden. It shielded him from scrutiny, enabling him and his supporters to cast allegations during the campaign about dubious Biden family business ties as rehashed Trumpian conspiracy theories.
