Joe Biden will meet 10 Republican senators on Monday afternoon to discuss his $1.9 trillion plan, which many Republicans claim is too high. The counter is less than half that price-tag at $600 billion

Feb. 1 - Joe Biden has invited a group of Republican senators to the White House on Monday afternoon to discuss contentious COVID relief packages, the White House confirmed on Sunday.

The ten senators suggested a more targeted economic relief package, in response to the government's $1.9 trillion proposal.

The group of 10 Republicans, including moderate Senators Mitt Romney, Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski, sent a letter to Biden on Sunday requesting a meeting to discuss a coronavirus relief package compromise they feel could gain swift support from both parties.     more details


Rep. Devin Nunes.
Scandal-rama: Figures tied to past controversies increasingly land jobs on Team Biden

From Peter Strzok's wife to key figure in Clinton email scandal, the names keep piling up to Republicans dismay.


Feb. 1 - Jake Sullivan was one of the most prolific users of Hillary Clinton's forbidden email server. Now he's Joe Biden's national security adviser.
Undersecretary of State Victoria Nuland previously had ties to Christopher Steele in the Russia scandal.

White House domestic adviser Susan Rice once falsely declared the Benghazi terror attack was provoked by an anti-Muslim video and later wrote the famously curious did-it-by-the-books email in the Russia scandal during her last minutes in he Obama administration.

And top Securities and Exchange Commission enforcement official Melissa Hodgman is married to Peter Strzok, the fired FBI agent who supervised the discredited Crossfire Hurricane probe into Russia-Trump collusion.

As Biden fills out his team, the list of people tied to past scandals and controversy keeps getting bigger And the pattern has some prominent Republicans taking note.

"If you look at the larger picture, the Russia hoaxers, the people that were pushing this out from the very beginning and lying about it after the fact, they're all at the top echelons of the Biden administration," former House Intelligence Committee chairman Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) said Sunday.     continue to read


The Grimsby spy who ‘tipped off’ papers about JFK assassination 25 minutes before Kennedy was shot
A telephone call 25 minutes before the fatal shooting was made to a newspaper in Britain, according to secret papers released by the American Government in October 2017

Feb. 1 - As Joe Biden begins serving as the 46th president of the United States, people have been comparing him to those who came before.

President Biden assumed office on January 20, preceded by Donald Trump, after serving as the 47th vice president from 2009 to 2017 under Barack Obama.

His work is just beginning but it has already been questioned whether he can live up to the ‘top ranked’ presidents, such as Abraham Lincoln, who claims the number one spot, according to Business Insider.

Other notable presidents included George Washington at number two, John F. Kennedy at number 8 and Barack Obama at number 12.

While all US presidents make the history books, it seems strange for the small town of Grimsby, North East Lincolnshire, to be written alongside them.

Back in November 1963, a Grimsby spy reportedly ‘tipped off’ the papers about the impending assassination of US President John F Kennedy.

A telephone call 25 minutes before the fatal shooting was made to a newspaper in Britain, according to secret papers released by the American Government in October 2017.

The documents reveal the Cambridge News received a call shortly after 6pm on November 22, 1963, warning "Call the American Embassy in London for some big news".

And it is thought the call was made by Albert Osborne, a Grimsby-born former soldier turned spy working for the Soviet Union.     more details
