Last year Joe Biden bragged about how he coerced Ukraine into firing its top prosecutor Victor Shokin by threatening that the Obama administration would pull $1 billion in U.S. loan guarantees from them. While this type of interference in a foreign government by the then-Vice President of the United States is highly inappropriate in itself, what makes it even worse is that the prosecutor he got fired was probing a firm for which his son Hunter Biden worked. Yesterday an audiotape has been released by a Ukrainian politician which details conversations between corrupt and discredited former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko...

When groups feel threatened, they retreat into tribalism. When groups feel mistreated and disrespected, they close ranks and become more insular, more defensive, more punitive, more us-versus-them. In America today, every group feels this way to some extent. Whites and blacks, Latinos and Asians, men and women, Christians, Jews, and Muslims, straight people and gay people, liberals and conservatives – all feel their groups are being attacked, bullied, persecuted, discriminated against. Of course, one group’s claims to feeling threatened and voiceless are often met by another group’s derision because it discounts their own feelings of persecution – but such is...

Defying the state’s order that shuttered health clubs due to coronavirus (COVID-19), a gym in New Jersey reopened with the support of hundreds of protesters on Monday, according to NJ.com. People began gathering outside the Atilis Gym in Bellmawr several hours before it reopened at 8 a.m. Monday. Ian Smith, co-owner of Atilis Gym in Bellmawr, unlocked the doors and let some members inside after their temperatures were checked, the Advance’s sister publication, reported. Police were seen responding to the club. Protesters, some without face coverings, sang the National Anthem, shouted slogans about the need to reopen businesses and return...

Anyone remember these? They've been off market for years. My Mom cured everything from a cold to chicken pox with this stuff. We all took it. It is QUININE.. similar to the malaria drug they are testing for the Pelosi (China) Virus. Quinine is the generic form of the brand-name drug qualaquin, a medication used to treat uncomplicated P. falciparum malaria, a specific type of malaria.

The U.S. debate over restrictions for fighting the coronavirus intensified in the last few weeks, as protesters labeled mandatory lockdowns as “tyranny,” while medical workers and health experts cautioned that lifting them too soon risked unleashing a greater disaster. We’ve seen it happen time and again: clambering for attention in our click-driven world, major news outlets cherry-pick sensational stories and dramatize their headlines. This tactic has blown countless news stories out of proportion and COVID-19 isn’t one of them. Americans are skeptical of the news media. A recent Gallup Poll shows that 55% of Americans disapprove of the way the...

Isra Hirsi, daughter of Ilhan Omar apparently has the same feelings about the American military as her mother. Isra Hirsi calls the American military “bitches” and claims that they are “furthering American imperialism” and “actively killing innocent children abroad”. “I know this is a joke, but the fact that these men are calling me a bitch when they are actively killing innocent children abroad and also furthering US imperialism makes me think that they are actually the bitch,” Hirsi said during a TikTok live video that was captured by conservative activist CJ Pearson. The video was apparently deleted but not...

Though a COVID-19 vaccine is likely still more than a year away, according to experts, concerns over mandatory vaccinations have spread throughout the anti-vaxxer community in Texas, which is one of the largest in the nation. In recent years, prominent voices in the anti-vaxxer movement have settled in and around Austin, and a vocal Facebook group formed a political action committee, Texans for Vaccine Choice. This school year, nearly 73,000, or 1.35 percent, of Texas students opted out of getting at least one required vaccine for nonmedical reasons, according to the Texas Department of State Health Services. That number does...

Nearly every day, the fake news media publishes an ode to the glories of Cuomo or a plaintive wish for him to replace wobbly Joe Biden as the Democratic nominee. (Extremely unlikely.) The spike in Cuomo’s popularity can partly be explained as the usual, but temporary, rallying effect that happens during a crisis. The times are scary, we’re anxious and the governor is looking out for us. He’s our guy. “No one is going to attack New York unfairly and no one is going to deprive New York of what it needs,” Cuomo said Sunday. “That’s why I’m here.” It...

President Trump on Monday took a shot at MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough – calling for “Concast” to probe him for a cold case involving the death of an intern in his congressional office in 2001. “‘Concast’ should open up a long-overdue Florida Cold Case against Psycho Joe Scarborough,” the president said, referring to NBC News’ parent company Comcast, in a tweet shortly after the “Morning Joe” host reported bad polling news for Trump. “I know him and Crazy Mika well used them beautifully in the last Election, dumped them nicely, and will state on the record that he is ‘nuts’. Besides,...

The election of President Donald Trump raised grave concerns for the future of vaccination in the United States. Trump had frequently embraced—both before and during his election campaign allegations linking childhood vaccines to autism. Shortly before his inauguration, he met with Robert F. Kennedy Jr, one of the most prominent and vocal critics of vaccine safety and current US vaccine policy, who announced after that meeting that he would lead a presidential “vaccine safety commission” charged with investigating these topics. When it comes to mandatory COVID-19 vaccines President Trump respects the opinion of its citizens. The president said Friday the...

You may recall the mother on the playground who was arrested a few weeks ago. That’s just one case where the police overstepped their authority and implemented the so-called Gestapo tactics. A New York City woman was handcuffed and taken to the ground in a video captured by an onlooker as NYPD cops accused her of not wearing a mask during the COVID-19 pandemic. As the struggle ensues, the woman’s child looks scared. We’ve seen similar situations in videos from world war two where children were forced to leave their parents. The encounter took place Wednesday at the Atlantic Avenue-Barclays...

You may recall the mother on the playground who was arrested a few weeks ago. That’s just one case where the police overstepped their authority and implemented the so-called Gestapo tactics. America’s founders established America as a true federalism. In a federalism all four governments established by God – self, family, church, and civil government – are important, and have their own role, functions, and limits. In a federalism, there are multiple levels of government and multiple branches at each level, so that if any one branch begins to play the tyrant – the other branches interpose against that branch...

A mother has been pulled away from her screaming son as she was arrested for protesting ‘for her rights’ during the coronavirus pandemic. Video footage shared on Twitter showed the woman speaking with police officers near Parliament of New South Wales in Sydney’s CBD about 3:50 pm on Saturday. The woman, who was with her son, wore a yellow sign that read: ‘If you don’t know your rights, you don’t have any. Magna Carta.’ She told police she was not doing anything wrong, despite the government’s social distancing regulations implemented during the health crisis.

Health experts say contact tracing is key to reopening California. California is ramping up a program to identify people who are potentially exposed to the novel coronavirus but are unaware of it. On Wednesday, 3,000 employees of the California Department of Public Health began their training as disease detectives. They are learning how to backtrack the steps of a newly infected person and reach out to everyone that person potentially exposed. From close contacts such as roommates, to huge crowds if the infected person happened to join the throngs at the beach. Ventura County will also implement these so-called disease...

The Rockefeller Foundation laid out its COVID-19 Testing Action Plan as a fundamental step to reopen the country. The plan will call for a significant ramp-up in testing, an expansion of contact tracing, a public-private testing technology accelerator, a national initiative to rapidly expand and optimize the use of lab capacity, and a testing data commons and digital platform to track COVID-19 statuses, among other things. They want to test up to 30 million people each week which will cost up to $100 billion. The plan also calls for up to 300,000 testers and contact tracers, and a data-sharing platform....

In a 2015 speech, Bill Gates warned that the greatest risk to humanity was not nuclear war but an infectious virus that could threaten the lives of millions of people. That speech has resurfaced in recent weeks with 25 million new views on YouTube — but not in the way that Mr. Gates probably intended. Anti-vaccinators, members of the group QAnon and right-wing pundits have instead seized on the video as evidence that one of the world’s richest men planned to use a pandemic to wrest control of the global health system. Mr. Gates, 64, the Microsoft co-founder has now...

Video shows a man grab a tip jar from the bar to show the camera what reads on the jar: “Donald Trump Assassination Fund” He then tips out the few coins that were inside the jar onto the counter, is told to leave, but before he does, he manages to stomp on and flatten the metal jar, while being pushed and held by a security guard. The bartender hops over the counter to also grab the man, who peacefully leaves. Truly disrespectful, hard to say “It’s just a joke” when you’re advocating violence against a world leader, whom just the...

Former Vice President Joe Biden was sitting in on an Instagram Livestream with his wife Dr. Jill Biden. And as always we were in for some fireworks. First Jill Biden showed off her newly dyed purple strand of hair. She told host Megan Rapinoe, captain of the 2019 Women’s World Cup champion U.S. United States women’s national soccer team, that she dyed her hair in solidarity with Rapinoe’s campaign for pay equity for women. https://twitter.com/brittanys/status/1255932600113418241?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1255932600113418241&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fconservativeus.com%2Fvideo-joe-biden-says-he-has-a-plan-for-reopening-too-bad-he-didnt-say-it-in-a-language-that-we-can-understand-him%2F But Jill wasn’t enough so Joe Biden decided to show his leadership skills by presenting his plan for reopening the economy!

Hilary Clinton endorsed Joe Biden’s White House bid on Tuesday, continuing Democrats’ efforts to coalesce around the former vice president as he takes on President Donald Trump. Clinton made her announcement during a Biden campaign town hall to discuss the coronavirus and its effect on women. Without mentioning Trump by name, Clinton assailed the Republican president’s handling of the pandemic and hailed Biden’s experience and temperament in comparison. Biden, as a former vice president and six-term senator, “has been preparing for this moment his entire life,” Clinton said. “This is a moment when we need a leader, a president like...

The Denver Police Department arrested Jafar Partowmah on April 26 at the Capitol for openly carrying a firearm. The man was carrying two pistols. He is a permitted carrier. He was on the sidewalk and not starting anything. He was not brandishing or threatening. His shirt blew in the wind and the cops saw his weapon. He was arrested around 2 p.m. in the 1400 block of Lincoln Street. A protest was held at the Capitol Sunday because of the COVID-19 closures.
