Poll: Just 39% Say the State of the Union Is Strong, Down 16 Points Since 2018: Just 39 percent of Americans adults believe the state of the union is strong before President Joe Biden likely declares it so during Tuesday’s State of the Union address.

Florida Legislature Aims to Officially Eliminate Disney’s Self-Governing Status: “Until Governor DeSantis acted, the Walt Disney Company maintained sole control over the District. This power amounted to an unaccountable Corporate Kingdom,” the statement continued, explaining that the legislation will permanently eliminate Disney’s self-governing status as well as impose a “state-controlled, term-limited board” with members appointed by the governor. It will also make sure that Disney pays over $700 million in unsecured debt and make it so the state can levy taxes on Disney for infrastructure projects even outside of the District’s lines, per the governor’s office. It added that it: “The corporate kingdom has come to an end,” DeSantis’ communications director, Taryn Fenske, told Breitbart News of the proposed plan. “Under the proposed legislation, Disney will no longer control its own government, will live under the same laws as everyone else, will be responsible for their outstanding debts, and will pay their fair share of taxes,” Fenske added. 'The choice is between normal or crazy': Arkansas governor delivers Republican speech after Biden's State of the Union: Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who delivered the Republican address to the nation on the heels of President Joe Biden's State of the Union address on Tuesday, asserted that the president and his party have "failed" Americans and that the divisions in the nation today are "between normal or crazy." "The dividing line in America is no longer between right or left. The choice is between normal or crazy," she declared, adding later that "the Biden administration is doubling down on crazy." "President Biden is unwilling to defend our border, defend our skies, and defend our people. He is simply unfit to serve as commander in chief," the governor declared. She added, "while you reap the consequences of their failures, the Biden administration seems more interested in woke fantasies than the hard reality Americans face every day." https://www.theblaze.com/news/sarah-huckabee-sanders-republican-address-2659386014 Nord Stream Sabotage Was CIA, US Navy Covert Op: Famed journalist and Pulitzer prize winner Seymour Hersh, who for decades was a star reporter writing for The New York Times and New Yorker, on Wednesday published a new bombshell as his first Substack post, prompting a quick White House response After conducting his own investigation into who sabotaged the Nord Stream pipelines via a series of underwater blasts on Sept. 26, Hersh has concluded the United States blew up the Russia-to-Germany natural gas pipeline as part of a covert operation under the guise of the BALTOPS 22 NATO exercise. Hersh, relying on unnamed national security sources, describes months of discussions and back-and-forth involving the Biden White House, CIA, and Pentagon. The report says planning was in the works all the way back to December 2021, with a special task force formed under the aegis of US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan. The CIA argued that whatever was done, it would have to be covert. Everyone involved understood the stakes," the report, entitled How America Took Out The Nord Stream Pipeline reads. Biden defiantly said, “If Russia invades . . . there will be no longer a Nord Stream 2. We will bring an end to it.” As for Washington motives in such a risky covert sabotage mission, Hersh writes, "As long as Europe remained dependent on the pipelines for cheap natural gas, Washington was afraid that countries like Germany would be reluctant to supply Ukraine with the money and weapons it needed to defeat Russia." ...On September 26, 2022, a Norwegian Navy P8 surveillance plane made a seemingly routine flight and dropped a sonar buoy. The signal spread underwater, initially to Nord Stream 2 and then on to Nord Stream 1. A few hours later, the high-powered C4 explosives were triggered and three of the four pipelines were put out of commission. Within a few minutes, pools of methane gas that remained in the shuttered pipelines could be seen spreading on the water’s surface and the world learned that something irreversible had taken place. Democrats don 'ABORTION' pins with heart-shaped cutouts: Democratic lawmakers are openly touting their pro-choice position by donning "ABORTION" pins. Leftist Sen. Ed Markey of Massachusetts announced that he wore an "ABORTION" pin to President Joe Biden's State of the Union address on Tuesday — the lawmaker posted a photo of the pin, which spells out the word "ABORTION" and features a heart-shaped cut out in one of the letters. The stunt elicited reactions of revulsion from many on social media, with Ben Shapiro calling the move "vile" and the House Judiciary GOP account labeling it "disgusting." "What's disgusting is the GOP's obsession with controlling people’s bodies," Markey responded. Circling the heart-shaped cutout in the pin, LifeNews.com noted, "Actually, abortion stops a beating heart." "Love the cute little heart! WHOOPS! Next year why not just rebrand it as KILLKIDZ? And add a fun rainbow GROOMER pin!" Eric Metaxas sarcastically wrote. "Nobody wears an American flag pin because they want patriotism to be safe, legal & rare," Dan McLaughlin tweeted. In addition to wearing the pin, Markey said that he brought an "abortion rights activist" to the speech as his guest. Democratic Rep. Madeleine Dean of Pennsylvania also posted a photo of herself sporting one of the pins. "I say the word, I wear the word. Abortion care is health care. Abortion care saves lives," Dean tweeted on Tuesday. https://www.theblaze.com/news/democratic-lawmakers-don-abortion-pins

Given that it was Hersh - who broke such well-known stories as the My Lai massacre and Abu Ghraib scandal and has long been known for impeccable insider sources - behind the new bombshell 'whodunnit' report, mainstream media couldn't ignore it this time (in the way MSM ignored Jeffrey Sachs and others).
