This photo provided by Hasbro shows the new Potato Head world. Hasbro created confusion on Thursday, Feb. 25, 2021, when it removed the gender from its Mr. Potato Head brand, but not from the actual toy. The company, which has been making the potato-shaped plastic toy for nearly 70 years, announced that it was dropping Mr. from the brand in an effort to make sure all feel welcome in the Potato Head world. Hasbro clarified in a tweet that the Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head characters will still exist, names and all, but the branding on the box will say Potato Head. (Hasbro via AP)

The real ‘misinformation’ of Jan. 6th

If one were just to listen to the mainstream media, you'd believe what happened on Jan. 6th at the nation's Capitol was an armed insurrection, a failed coup attempt by radical Trump supporters to overthrow the government, which lead to multiple law-enforcement deaths.

Coming soon: A coronavirus vaccine passport

It's coming -- a COVID-19 vaccine passport. Politicians all over the world are using the coronavirus pandemic to assert new controls over their citizens. Next up will be a vaccination passport, indicating whether an individual has been vaccinated or has had the virus, in order to travel freely.

Stimulus check: $1,400 for you, $1,400 a week for federal employees

President Joe Biden's coronavirus stimulus package outlines a one-time $1,400 check to families financially affected by the virus. Yet the fine print in the House stimulus bill sneaks in this fascinating nugget: If you're a federal employee you can receive $1,400 a week in paid time off for 15 weeks if you decide to stay at home and virtually school your child.

In October, Twitter amended its hacked materials policy to "no longer remove hacked content unless its directly shared by hackers or those acting in concert with them." The change in policy was spurred by outrage over its decision to block links to the New York Post's Hunter Biden expose, which was based on emails recovered from Mr. Biden's laptop.

Where’s Biden? VP Harris takes solo calls with foreign leaders; staff runs meetings

Vice President Kamala Harris held her second call with a foreign leader this week, without President Joe Biden present. With Ms. Harris taking a lead in diplomacy and White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain dominating the outcome of White House meetings, one has to wonder: Who is calling the shots at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue?
