Spotify Appears To Take New Action Against Joe Rogan | The Daily Wire

Spotify appears to have removed approximately 70 episodes of Joe Rogan’s “The Joe Rogan Experience” as the company faces continued left-wing pressure to boot Rogan, their top performer, from the platform.“The apparent removal of the episodes, all of which were recorded years before the pandemic began, was spotted by JREMissing,” CNET reported. “The fan-made website uses Spotify’s API to compare available episodes to a database of all episodes recorded.”Gizmodo reported that it “manually checked” JREMissing’s claim that the episodes had been removed and “confirmed the site’s assessment.”The move comes after Spotify CEO Daniel Ek reportedly told employees on Wednesday that the platform does not have editorial discretion over Joe Rogan’s #1‑rated podcast. The Los Angeles Times reported that the company does not screen his guest list and only takes action after episodes are published.The article was primarily based off sources who appeared eager to cast the company in a negative light and further put pressure on it to take action against Rogan. The report said in …

EXCLUSIVE: Trump on Durham Probe: ‘I Hear There’s a Lot Coming’

Former President Donald Trump has heard that “there’s a lot coming” from the wide-ranging investigation led by Special Counsel John Durham, who is probing the origins of the FBI’s investigation into Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign.
“I hear there’s a lot coming,” Trump told former top aide Kash Patel on The Epoch Times’ “Kash’s Corner.” The interview will premiere at 8 p.m. Eastern on Feb. 7 on EpochTV.com.
“We’re gonna see what happens. But what he’s doing is one of the most important jobs being done right now in America.”
Attorney General William Barr assigned Durham on May 13, 2019, to investigate the origins of the FBI’s investigation of the Trump campaign, codenamed Crossfire Hurricane. In October 2020, with the presidential election approaching, Barr designated Durham as a special counsel to protect the criminal investigation in case of a change of guard at the White House in 2021.
Durham secured the first guilty plea in August 2020, prior to his appointment as a special counsel. Former FBI assistant general counsel Kevin Clinesmith admitted to forging an email used to prepare an applicat …

Tucker Carlson says House Democrat asked intelligence briefer for ‘dirt’ on show’s ties to Russia

Fox News host Tucker Carlson accused a Democratic member of the House of asking U.S. intelligence to “dig up dirt” on his show.
Rep. Jim Cooper of Tennessee, during a Wednesday closed-door briefing on Russia, “asked an intelligence briefer to find out if this show is tied to Russia,” Carlson said Friday.

Carlson said the congressman’s suspicions were off base.
“We’re not tied to Russia, of course. This is a cable television program. We’re not a diplomatic mission. Jim Cooper, needless to say, knows that,” Carlson said, noting that he has been critical of the Biden administration’s policies toward Ukraine, which is under threat of Russian invasion. Carlson said Cooper was acting in “retaliation.”

Carlson said Cooper “admitted it” when his team asked about the briefing request, but the congressman was “too cowardly” to appear on his show.
“Congressman Cooper is observing the first anniv …

Why Russia’s PAK DA Stealth Bomber Might Never Fly

PAK DA: Russia’s Stealth Bomber Has a Long Way to Go – The Russians often over-state their manufacture of new military hardware. They go from announcing prototypes to trumpeting production to a celebratory delivery to the troops – all in an overly-expedited fashion. It appears that their plans for a new stealth bomber called the PAK DA are caught up in various states of hype.
PAK DA: Is This Stealth Bomber Real?
Last summer, Russian state-run media said the PAK DA will be ready with a demo prototype by 2023. The announcement also referred to the planned stealth bomber as being surrounded by a network of drones and even able to launch a hypersonic weapon. This braggadocio has to be considered premature when there is not much evidence that the airplane is real.
The Russians Do Not Have the Best Stealth Technology
It stands to reason that the Russians want (or need) their own stealth bomber. The Americans have their B …
