Red State: Mike Pence at CNN Town Hall: No Pardons For J6 Participants, Trump 'Should Never Be President Again'
Former Vice President Mike Pence appeared on a CNN Town Hall to talk about Jan. 6, why he wants to be president, abortion, Ukraine, and the Mar-A-Lago documents case. Pence criticized Trump for inciting the insurrection and stated that he wouldn't pardon any J6 participants. He reaffirmed his pro-life stance on abortion, and took a stronger pro-Ukraine stance than either Trump or DeSantis. Pence has little chance at winning the GOP nomination but RedState will cover all Republican candidates.
Fox News: CNN’s crybabies chase out Licht for the crime of being more neutral
CNN CEO Chris Licht has been ousted from his position after just one year, due to pressure from leftist staff members who will not tolerate anything that questions progressive orthodoxy. Licht was originally hired by Warner Bros/Discovery CEO David Zaslav to make the news network more centrist and ideologically diverse, but his efforts were met with resistance from on-air talent who cried foul at his attempts to broaden the network's coverage and give a platform to Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump. The lesson is clear: no real conservative voices will be tolerated by the crybaby lefty loons in the CNN newsroom.
American Thinker: The SPLC hates the truth
The Southern Poverty Law Center's "Year in Hate and Extremism" report for 2022 claims there are 1,225 hate and antigovernment extremist groups across the US, an increase from 2021. The SPLC "hate map" now includes opposition to the government, including groups like "Moms for Liberty." Speaking out against Critical Race Theory or the LGBT agenda may make individuals an ugly dot on their map. Trevor Grant Thomas argues the SPLC has turned "hate" into a meaningless word and that it is simply a left-wing propaganda group aiding and abetting the Democrat Party's immoral agenda.

Washington Free Beacon: Biden's Energy Department Counts Chinese Solar Industry Rep as Diversity 'Ambassador'
Joe Biden's Energy Department has listed Solar Energy Industries Association's head, Abby Hopper, as one of its "Equity in Energy" ambassadors. However, Hopper's association includes Chinese company JinkoSolar, which allegedly received slave laborers from Xinjiang, China. Hopper's association has distanced itself from its members' work in Xinjiang, and JinkoSolar signed a Solar Industry Forced Labor Prevention Pledge, despite reports that it had allegedly used forced labor. The Solar Energy Industries Association did not cut ties with the Chinese company. Biden vetoed a bipartisan measure to restore tariffs on Jinko and Trina Solar, protecting them from being penalized for bypassing US tariffs.

Forbes: Why A National Sales Tax Is A Terrible Idea
Governor Ron DeSantis advocates for a national sales tax as a solution to deal with the IRS and the tax code, in an effort to abolish the IRS and reform the federal tax system. The Fair Tax Act is a proposal favored by many GOPers that would replace personal and corporate income taxes, payroll taxes, the death tax and taxes on savings with a 30% national sales tax. However, the plan suffers from regressiveness and compliance issues, among other flaws, and would entail the creation of a new bureaucracy to administer it. The Fair Tax Act is a political trap for Republicans.

Fox News: Instagram algorithm boosts ‘vast pedophile network,' bombshell report claims
Instagram's algorithms connect pedophiles with "underage sex content," according to a report by the Wall Street Journal and academic researchers. The report found that Instagram's recommendation systems connected users sharing niche interests in this content, and enabled people to search explicit hashtags such as and , guiding them towards content sellers who used these terms to advertise child-sex material for sale. Mark Zuckerberg's Meta, which owns Instagram, has acknowledged the problem and set up an internal task force to address the issues raised.
The promotion of such content is illegal under federal law and violates Meta's own rules. While Meta said it has taken down 27 pedophile networks in the past two years and is planning more removals, the researcher's report shows that Instagram has enabled people to search for and buy illicit content on the platform. Instagram has blocked thousands of hashtags sexualizing children and is working on preventing its systems from recommending potentially pedophilic adults from connecting or interacting with one another's content.
