A majority of truckers are vowing to halt deliveries to cities that defund or disband their police departments, according to a recent poll. Seventy-nine percent of truck drivers said they felt their safety would be at risk if they had to deliver to a city with a disbanded police department, according to CDL News, a website for the commercial trucking industry. Long-haul truck drivers have been on the front lines of the coronavirus pandemic for the past year due to stay-at-home orders requiring most Americans to buy their goods online, and have had to deal with protests. Now many truckers...

Demonstrators — both Black Lives Matter protesters and LGBT pride activists — congregated outside of Mayor Muriel Bowser’s (D) home in Washington, DC, on Saturday, holding signs, chanting, and twerking in front of cops.

Demonstrators could be seen displaying banners reading “Defund MPD,” “No Pride in Police Violence,”...

Riots broke out in Atlanta on Saturday night following the death of 27-year-old Rayshard Brooks on Friday night at a Wendy’s Brooks fought with police, stole their taser gun and was shot dead when he turned to use it on the officers. On Saturday night a CNN crew was covering the riots at the Wendy’s restaurant when they were attacked. The CNN crew was jumped near the Wendy’s by violent rioters. It looks like one rioter used a skateboard to beat the CNN camera crew.

The Rebel Flag and Dukes Of Hazzard Skip to 3:16 where John asks the question.

Over the past week, multiple blocks of the Capitol Hill neighborhood in Seattle have been occupied by anti-police protesters. These vagabonds, social misfits and apparently otherwise unskilled people have declared the area as independent from the United States, and they are calling it the “Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone,” or CHAZ for short. One of the first thing the founders of the CHAZ did was create their own borders — and they are enforcing them. The budding independent region of leftists has its own armed guards — essentially a police force meant to keep people who are deemed undesirable out of...

CNN is offering conflicting reports about whether or not the protesters who have declared the territory of CHAZ are armed, one of the network's former producers pointed out. Over the past several days, a portion of Seatle's downtown area has been taken over by anti-police demonstrators and has created its own borders and forbids the presence of law enforcement. The territory is called Capitol Hill autonomous zone, or CHAZ. CNN media correspondent Oliver Darcy attempted to dismiss the violent element of CHAZ in a report on Thursday evening, saying that presence of militant Antifa members is "grossly exaggerated in right-wing...

There are calls for resignation and profuse offers of apology after a Pa. township official attacked Pa. health secretary Dr. Rachel Levine’s gender. As KDKA-TV in Pittsburgh reports, it happened in Scott Township, Allegheny County, where Commissioner Paul Abel made these comments during Tuesday night’s commissioner’s meeting broadcast over Zoom: “I’m tired of listening to a guy dressed up like a woman,” said Abel, referring to Levine. The comment came after Abel asked Commissioner Angela Wateska about the “green” phase and what comes after that as the township emerges from the coronavirus lockdown under Pennsylvania’s phased reopening largely being led...

President Donald Trump’s deputies have restored the biology-based definition of sexual discrimination in federal healthcare rules, ending the novel transgender definition, which was inserted by President Barack Obama. The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) “will continue to vigorously enforce federal civil rights laws prohibiting discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, disability, age, and sex in healthcare, as Section 1557 provides,” according to a statement released by the agency. In its 2016 regulation, the Obama administration redefined “sex discrimination” as “gender discrimination.” But the definition of “gender” that is pushed by transgender activists says that each...

That exposé also included audio clips from Operation Rescue’s interview with Donna Arthur, Acton’s estranged mother. Arthur claimed that her daughter...
