Megyn Kelly says Lauren Sanchez ‘looks like a hooker’ in rant about plastic surgery and risqué clothing: ‘You’re dating the richest man in the world…try to be a little classy’
Megyn Kelly took a vicious swipe at Lauren Sanchez‘s latest look, telling her ‘you look like a hooker!’ in a stinging podcast rant about classy clothes and plastic surgery.
Sanchez, the fiancée of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, shocked this week by stepping out in Milan in a sheer Dolce & Gabbanna lace dress that exposed her backside.
She wore a breast-lifting corset beneath it, with a jacket draped lazily over her shoulders.
Kelly’s horror was free-flowing in her latest Sirius XM podcast.
Senate passes bill to fund government to March 8
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., expressed optimism Wednesday that the continuing resolution funding could be passed by both houses by the Friday deadline. It’s expected to be opposed by far-right House GOP members.
The bill is expected to pass the House with bipartisan support through use of a suspension of the rules, despite the right-wing opposition to funding the government.
They are seeking to force their spending cuts agenda on Congress under threat of halting government funding.
Biden Delays Terror Sanctions on Houthis for 30 Days
When Biden decided to take the Houthis off the Foreign Terrorist Organization list, he helped pave the way for the current Red Sea crisis. And even now, rather than putting the Houthis back on the FTO list, he’s moving them to the specially designated global terrorist list which does not make it illegal to provide material support by funding them and lacks a serious travel ban.
Here’s the official State Department announcement.
Since November, the Houthis have launched unprecedented attacks against international maritime vessels in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, as well as military forces positioned in the area to defend the safety and security of commercial shipping. These attacks against international shipping have endangered mariners, disrupted the free flow of commerce, and interfered with navigational rights and freedoms. This designation seeks to promote accountability for the group’s terrorist activities. If the Houthis cease their attacks in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, the United States will reevaluate this designation.
The designation will possibly kick in on Feb 16 which gives the Houthis plenty of time to pull any assets they have in our financial institutions and prepare for them.

Teacher beaten unconscious by 270-pound student over Nintendo Switch tells The Post he spat in her face, called her a ‘w–re’
Wiping the spit from her face, Florida teacher Joan Naydich sensed it was time to escape her classroom.
“The last thing I remember is having my hand on the door handle,” she told The Post in her first major interview since being beaten unconscious by a student over a Nintendo Switch last February.
With his sentencing slated for later this month, Naydich opened up about the case — and what preceded an assault that left her with five broken ribs, a concussion, and a shattered psyche, including how Depa spat at her and called her “bitch” and “w–re” because she had signalled to his teacher his gaming device was a distraction.
Georgia judge in Trump case orders hearing into allegations of Fulton County DA’s misconduct
Georgia Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee scheduled the hearing for Feb. 15 and ordered Willis to respond to the allegations in writing by Feb. 2, according to The Washington Post, after Trump co-defendant Mike Roman made the accusations in a court filing earlier this month.
Willis is also facing calls to resign, a criminal referral filed with the state and a House Judiciary Committee probe into her alleged conduct. Willis’ alleged lover, special prosecutor Nathan Wade, is also under investigation by the House.
McAfee had said earlier this week there could be a hearing into the allegations Roman had urged the judge to dismiss the case over the Democratic district attorney’s alleged conduct.
Trump Attorney Raises E. Jean Carroll’s Sexually Suggestive Tweets at NY Defamation Trial
Donald Trump lawyer Alina Habba on Thursday raised a number of sexually suggestive tweets sent by advice columnist E. Jean Carroll and showed a New York jury evidence that suggested the former president was not solely responsible for online abuse she received.
Habba raised the exhibits as she cross-examined Carroll on the third day of Trump’s defamation trial — and the first day the former president did not attend the proceedings — in U.S. District Court in Manhattan.
During her questioning, Habba also brought up a number of tweets Carroll sent herself that were sexual in nature.
“Trump Was Right” – Jamie Dimon Shocks CNBC in Davos Interview
Patrick Bet-David, Adam Sosnick, Tom Ellsworth, and Vincent Oshana react to Jamie Dimon saying that Donald Trump was right more than he was wong while serving as President of the United States.
The Hysterical Style in American Politics
The post-Joe McCarthy era and the candidacy of Barry Goldwater once prompted liberal political scientist Richard Hofstadter to chronicle a supposedly long-standing right-wing “paranoid style” of conspiracy-fed extremism.
But far more common, especially in the 21st century, has been a left-wing, hysterical style of inventing scandals and manipulating perceived tensions for political advantage.
Or, in the immortal words of Barack Obama’s chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, “Never let a serious crisis go to waste.”
No matter. The Obama administration never stopped hyping the financial meltdown as if it had just occurred. That way, it rammed through Obamacare, massive deficit spending, and the vast expansion of the federal government. All that stymied economic growth and recovery for years.
In 2016, Donald Trump was declared Hitler-like and an existential threat to democracy…
“Called Out Everybody” – Javier Milei Destroys World Economic Forum to Their Faces

DEI Destroys Excellence, Military Cohesion at Service Academies
Recent hiring emphasizes minority racial and sexual-orientation groups. And now the faculty get relentless “training” in DEI with newly hired administrators to enforce the rules—Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
In our English Department, there is now a faculty committee to vet faculty syllabi to ensure that an acceptable number of works about and by nonwhite authors are taught. It’s all intensely political, and usually with an edge of resentment: our kind didn’t get or don’t have as much as your kind!
In fact, these kinds of resentment studies have nothing to do with being a good officer. Having a sense of what separates people, sure. How about what unites them? And if you as an officer see yourself as radically different from people with a different skin color––and groups of your subordinates with different skin colors as lacking a common goal––military cohesion is torn asunder.
This is military suicide, shooting ourselves not merely in the foot but in the head. How about we emphasize commonality and deal with difference as it comes up rather than assuming it? It’s insulting to say “I see that you have a different skin color, so I can tell you we have little in common”—aside from destructive of military cohesion…
Pakistani retaliatory strikes in Iran kill at least 9, raising tensions along border
Iran and nuclear-armed Pakistan have long regarded each other with suspicion over militant attacks, but analysts say this week’s tit-for-tat strikes were at least partially prompted by internal political pressures.
Iran is dealing with unrest against its theocracy and has faced pressure for action ever since the Islamic State suicide bombing. It is also seeking to flex military power at a time when militant groups it supports in the region — Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon and Houthi rebels in Yemen — are engaged in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Pakistan, meanwhile, could not leave Tuesday’s airstrikes by Iran unchallenged, and it faces a crucial February general election in which its military is a powerful political force.
‘No American is Safe,’ House GOP builds case to impeach Mayorkas in second hearing
Green also said Mayorkas’ “refusal to enforce the law, which requires him to detain and remove illegal aliens, has tragically increased crime and endangered public safety across the country.”
A witness at the hearing, Tammy Nobles, told the committee about their family members who were killed by illegal immigrants in the U.S.
Green said there were multiple vetting errors at the border that occurred with regard to her daughter’s killer. He said Mayorkas refuses to secure the border and properly vet every migrant who is seeking asylum before they get released into the U.S. from the border.
Israel vows to achieve all war goals; U.S. reclassifies Houthis as terror group TV7Israel News 18.01
1) Israel reasserts its intentions to continue fighting Hamas until all of its war-goals are achieved. 2) The U.S. State Department re-designates the Iranian-proxy Ansar-Allah, which is dominated by the Houthi tribe in Yemen, a Specially Designated Global Terrorist group. 3) Iran claims its proxies will halt hostilities against Israel, once the IDF ends its war against Hamas.
90,000 Troops: NATO Starts Biggest Wargames in Decades Next Week
The exercises – dubbed Steadfast Defender 24 – “will show that NATO can conduct and sustain complex multi-domain operations over several months, across thousands of kilometers (miles), from the High North to Central and Eastern Europe, and in any condition,” the 31-nation organization said.
The chair of the NATO Military Committee, Admiral Rob Bauer, said that it´s “a record number of troops that we can bring to bear and have an exercise within that size, across the alliance, across the ocean from the U.S. to Europe.”
Bauer described it as “a big change” compared to troop numbers exercising just a year ago. Sweden, which is expected to join NATO this year, will also take part.
Argentine president praised for calling out Davos elites abandoning freedom for socialism: ‘Drops truth bombs’
Milei, a self-described anarcho-capitalist elected to office in November based on his commitment to slashing government spending, confronted those attending the Davos gathering on Wednesday, telling them the West is “in danger” because of their agenda.
“Today I’m here to tell you that the Western world is in danger. And it is in danger because those who are supposed to have defended the values of the West are co-opted by a vision of the world that inevitably leads to socialism and thereby to poverty,” Milei said.
Milei’s message especially resonated with conservatives on social media, who expressed satisfaction at seeing a world leader slamming some of the world’s leftist elites to their faces.
