PORT ST. LUCIE — Clay Holmes knew the day would arrive, but this soon?

The Mets pitcher — sporting a neatly trimmed beard — indicated he was caught by surprise Friday to learn his former team, the Yankees, had eliminated a long-standing rule prohibiting facial hair.

“Everyone always talked about the day will probably come, but it felt like a day far off,” said Holmes, who is scheduled to start and face three ups (meaning at least pitching into the third inning) in the Mets’ spring training opener on Saturday. “It’s surprising that it’s here and I think it’s probably something the players have wanted.”

Though he now wears a beard, Holmes said it’s something that was never a big deal for him when he played for the Yankees.

The right-hander arrived to the Mets on a three-year contract worth $38 million in the offseason.

Holmes recalled the need to change his look after arriving to the Yankees in a trade with the Pirates in 2021.

“It was a thing for me, when I got traded over I had long…

Trump orders tighter restrictions on Chinese investments in key sectors
February 22, 2025
US President Donald Trump signed a memo Friday calling for curbs on Chinese investments in strategic sectors like tech and critical infrastructure — including restrictions by a foreign investment review panel. The move comes at a time of growing trade tensions and strategic competition between the world’s two biggest economies. It is aimed at promoting foreign investment, while protecting US national security interests “particularly from threats posed by foreign adversaries” like China, the White House said. In particular, the memo took aim at China for “increasingly exploiting United States capital to develop and modernize its military, intelligence, and other security apparatuses.” It called for the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) to be used to restrict Chinese investments in key US sectors such as technology, critical infrastructure, health care and energy. CFIUS is a panel that weighs the national security implications of foreign investments in the United States. “President Trump is keeping his promise to prevent foreign adversaries from taking advantage of the United States,” the White House said. Friday’s… […]
Who Are the Organized Crime Groups Now Considered as Terrorists by Canada?
February 22, 2025
The federal government added seven new entities to its list of terrorist organizations, five drug cartels and two street gangs, as it ramps up its law enforcement posture in response to the U.S. tariff threat. The United States also designated the same groups as foreign terrorist organizations this week. The organizations listed do not fit neatly beside other listed groups like al-Qaeda or ISIS, which have been known to launch attacks against civilian and government targets for religious and political motives. The newly listed groups, however, have been using extreme violence as they battle for territory and against state forces, making the most damage in their home countries. They also have a presence in Canada, where they cooperate with local organized crime groups in illicit activities, including money laundering. “I can confirm that we do have intelligence that cartels, different cartels, operate in Canada,” RCMP Commissioner Michael Duheme said on Feb. 20 during the terrorist listing announcement. “There’s also strong intelligence that Canadians have actually moved to Mexico and South America to facilitate the transport of certain commodities into Canada,” he added.

Trump’s Young Press Secretary Explains Why She Ditched Her Binder After One Briefing – Twitchy
February 22, 2025
If you’re like me you have been impressed by almost all of President Donald Trump’s Cabinet and White House member selections. It’s in stark contrast to the players he hastily assembled for his first term. One of the most inspiring members so far is White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt. I watched her first press briefing and noticed a confidence and poise you rarely see in a 27-year-old. Did I mention she’s the youngest press secretary in White House history? One thing I noticed in her first briefing was a very large binder. By her second briefing, the binder was gone. Now we know why. We’ll get to that reason in just a moment. But first, here are some brief excerpts from an interview she just did with Megyn Kelly. (READ) “I want to just go in there and speak from my mind and from my heart. Like my boss.” “The first briefing I was certainly nervous I think any human would. I’m not afraid to admit that.” “Once I got up there, I realized, okay, like, I can do this. I know what I need to know. And, now I feel very, you know, comfortable and confident.” “I will never get complacent because I understand the weight of the responsibility on my shoulders speaking on behalf… Read the full article here […]

CQ Brown, Jr. make remarks before presenting the Operation Homefront Military Child of the Year Award to Air Force recipient Louis Geer during a ceremony in Arlington, Va., April 13, 2023.

President Trump Now Exposing Chemtrails?
February 22, 2025
Well, it looks like it’s time to retire another “Conspiracy Theory” and move it over into the “Conspiracy FACT” bucket. The only problem is, my Conspiracy Fact bucket is getting awfully full these days! Might need to get a bigger bucket! For years, I’ve warned you about the toxins they’re spraying in the skies above us! And for years, I would say about 25% of the population has had severe cognitive dissonance on the topic. Each time I write about Chemtrails, about 25% of the comments I get are angry. I mean, really angry! Irrationally angry! And look, I get it. To admit that for decades now our Government has been spraying our skies with toxic heavy chemicals and metals, it’s almost too much to take in. So some people don’t take it in….they refuse to accept it’s real, claim it’s not happening. “Those are just CON trails Noah, condensation trails from water vapor made by planes at high and cold altitudes!” “Wise up, Noah, take off your tin foil hat!” I’ve heard it all. Except now even President Trump is trying to tell you… Watch this: Is Trump actually talking about chemtrails on national television?? pic.twitter.com/1HhQlA3SeD —… […]
‘You Can Have My SSRIs When You Pry Them From My Cold Dead Hands’ – PJ Media
February 22, 2025
I’m going out on a limb and predicting that virtually every author of the following genre of liberal outrage porn — almost universally childless white women of the middle-upper-class living in Manhattan — are neck-deep in SSRIs, Xanax, Ambien, Adderall, or some combination thereof. In a very mildly worded, milquetoast announcement after assuming the HHS mantle, RFK Jr. directed his agency in his first 100 days to “assess the prevalence of and threat posed by the prescription of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, antipsychotics, [and] mood stabilizers.” Related: Poll: Liberal Women Experience Worst Mental Health of All Demographics The operative word here is “assess” — not “ban.” But even that is a bridge too far for the great respecters of The Science™.

Let’s Focus on Hostage Release ‘First’ ‘Worry About the Rest Later’
February 22, 2025
On Friday’s broadcast of NewsNation’s “Cuomo,” United States Hostage Envoy Adam Boehler stated that “our main focus is the release of all living hostages.” And Hamas needs to release American hostage Edan Alexander as well as the four American bodies they have “And let’s make that first and foremost and all we focus on and we’ll worry about the rest later.” Boehler stated, “[T]omorrow, I expect a release of hostages. And I know that our main focus is the release of all living hostages. … They need to release our American and they need to release the four American bodies they continue to hold. And let’s make that first and foremost and all we focus on and we’ll worry about the rest later.” He also said, “I think, for those people that listen to TV now at Hamas, thousands of people don’t want to lose their lives right away. And I think that if they mess with a hair on Edan’s head, it will be serious, because the president of the United States cares massively about our Americans and cares massively about Edan.” And that “the president responds to unilateral action. They need to release [Edan] right now.” Follow Ian Hanchett on… Read the full article here […]
Out of juice: Only 5% of US car buyers want an electric vehicle
February 22, 2025
Electric vehicles and the American driver: a match made in heaven. At least, that’s the story Democrats have been telling for a while. In reality, sparks are definitely not flying. Deloitte suspects that some of this push against EVs ‘could be due, in part, to lingering affordability concerns.’ In fact, only 5% of U.S. consumers want their next car to be an EV, according to a new survey from Deloitte — with almost two-thirds explicitly stating their preference for an internal combustion engine (ICE). The consulting company gathered data from more than 31,000 people across 30 countries as part of its 2025 Global Automotive Consumer Study. It makes for some interesting comparisons — especially when it comes to powertrains, connectivity, and artificial intelligence. Among U.S. consumers, ICE remains number one, with 62% indicating that their next car will not be electrified. Another 20% would like a hybrid for their next vehicle, with a further 6% desiring a plug-in hybrid. By contrast, only 38% of Chinese consumers want to stick with ICE; meanwhile, 27% of them intend for their next automotive purchase to be a battery electric vehicle (BEV). That’s a much higher percentage than in… Read the full article here […]
