The mother of a Texas school shooting victim was told by first responders that her daughter may have survived the massacre if authorities had acted quicker. The fourth-grader, who was among the 19 students killed at Robb Elementary in Uvalde on Tuesday, bled to death after being shot in her kidney. 'Her child had been shot by one bullet through the back through the kidney area,' State Sen. Ronald Gutierrez told CNN Sunday morning. 'The first responder that they eventually talked to said that their child likely bled out. In that span of 30 or 40 minutes extra, that little...

I've been sitting on this post for a long time. Anthony Fauci has some explaining to do. A lot. People on the left tend to get bent when someone properly refers to COVID 19 as the "Wuhan" or "China" virus. The fact is, it is did originate in China. There's really no doubt that it originated in a lab. Dr. Anthony Fauci has said this virus might never disappear because it is so contagious “I do not believe it would disappear because it is such a highly transmissible virus. It’s unlikely it is going to disappear." How did it get...

WHO scientists sent on a coronavirus fact-finding mission to China have today thrown their weight behind Beijing - dismissing theories the virus leaked from a lab wile backing theories that the virus was imported on frozen meat. Peter Embarek, leader of the WHO team, said today that 'further research' into the imported meat theory - which is being pushed by Beijing - is needed, along with studies looking at early cases of Covid reported outside of China. At the same time, he dismissed theories that the virus leaked from a lab in Wuhan, saying the possibility is 'extremely unlikely' and...

Left-wing activists are forming a database to profile and target organizations that hire former Trump White House officials in the hopes of making these persons unemployable and unable to feed their families. “Government service does not guarantee private employment. In fact, it should not. And American business should not reward the behavior of the Trump administration with the well-oiled revolving door that traditionally spins at moments of transition,” the Campaign Against Corporate Complicity said in a statement announcing their existence. This new group intends to trigger digital lynch mobs so they harass companies that hire former Trump administration officials. The...

Kline, who is former attorney general of Kansas, tweeted the news on Sunday..."...Mark Zuckerberg..."...The Facebook CEO, Kline said, poured in $400 million into the election, matching the federal government expenditures, through his charities. "They paid the election judges, they paid the people who boarded up the windows, they bought the machines and America was kicked out of the counting room, and a billionaire invited in, in all of the swing state urban core cities, and that is a violation the law."

Full title of Article: Trump Campaign Ad Blasts #SchumerShutdown Democrats: You ‘Will Be Complicit in Every Murder by Illegal Immigrants’ Text of excerpt: The campaign of President Donald Trump released an ad Saturday that warns Democrats they will be complicit in murders of Americans by illegal aliens. While the as does not mention the current government shutdown battle, the timing and the message of the Democrats favoring illegal aliens over Americans makes the connection obvious.

On Tuesday the third undercover video of Planned Parenthood's despicable practices was released by the Center for Medical Progress, but as the blog Jammie Wearing Fools highlights, some people may not see it if PP gets its way: "The material should not be aired," states a press release sent out to [North and South Dakota] stations. This absurdly transparent attempt at damage control is no surprise. The organization has been engaging in mafia-like strong-arm tactics in their all-out attack-as-defense strategy, including congressional pressure, an Obama Department of Justice investigation. and the same from the California Attorney General's office. In short,...

A new government report confirms what pro-life advocates have long feared: President Obama's health care reform law allows for taxpayer-funded abortions. In a report to Congress, the Government Accountability Office found 28 states with no laws restricting qualified health plans that limit abortion coverage. In Massachusetts, only two of the 111 state-approved plans comply with the historic Hyde Amendment, which prohibits abortion funding except in cases of rape or incest. Five states (Connecticut, Hawaii, New Jersey, Rhode Island, and Vermont) don't offer any qualified plans that follow Hyde's precedent, in place since 1977. That directly contradicts the president's 2010 executive...

March 3, 2012 Attn: Governor Deal, SOS Brian Kemp, State Atty. Gen. Sam Olens Re: Ballot fraud and criminal cover-up Dear sirs, The facts are now in, having been uncovered and disclosed by AZ Sheriff Joe Arpaio at his March 1 press conference, and they speak to criminal activity I have been warning you about since before any of you took office. I am but one man in a State of millions but this man will not stop until justice prevails. Your minions, Judges Michael Malihi and Cynthia Wright have now done your bidding and paved the way for the...

"I believe today's hearing is a sham," said Rep. Gerald Connolly, D-Va., of the first of two session held by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee during the day. His tone sharp and finger pointed, Connolly went on to declare the witnesses -- who included a Catholic bishop, a Lutheran reverend, an Orthodox rabbi, and two Baptist theologians, all opposed to the administration's recent ruling -- "complicit" in the Republicans' "trampling" of House traditions that would, if observed, have produced a more balanced panel. "You are being used for a political agenda," Connolly told the holy men, after Republicans...

MK Aryeh Eldad (National Union) has filed a parliamentary query in which he asks Defense Minister Ehud Barak why the IDF is ignoring testimony about Egyptian soldiers' involvement in the murderous terror attacks near Eilat. Several civilian eyewitnesses have said in press interviews that Egyptian soldiers were involved in the attacks. They said that they saw people in military fatigues shooting at them from within the Egyptian military positions, or right next to them. "I would like to know why the IDF has refrained from questioning the civilians," the former IDF Chief Medical Officer wrote, "and whether it is possible...

Western companies...are poised to help build an ambitious new surveillance project in China...as many as 500,000 cameras that officials say will prevent crime but that human-rights advocates warn could target political dissent.

Is the WH intentionally distracting the public with orchestrated “slow leaks” concerning Obama’s fraudulent/unknown past, his 100% verifiably fraudulent “birth certificate” and his clear ineligibility to hold office for this single purpose:  to simply divert the public’s attention from his greater goal of destroying Israel, supporting the rapidly unfolding Middle East Caliphate (Arab Spring) and the purposeful, intentional bankruptcy of America?

2008 was the year of ObaMessiah. It was the greek god with pillars, clouds, and promises of healing the oceans that the masses believed. How was it accomplished? A full court press by every form of liberal media. Hollywood, blogs, sitcoms, talk shows, comedy hours, SNL, evening news, newspapers, billboards, commentators, musicians, and every conceivable form of communication from one human to another was bent to the task of turning ZerObama from fallible human to transcendent god. And the American people bought it. Many have groggily awakened and are asking themselves: "Who the hell is this guy, Obama?" But that...

The Fishwrap of Record has finally seen fit to tell its readers about the latest ACORN scandals (the San Bernardino tapes, which don’t get a mention, are beyond belief). True to form, the New York Times commits grievous sins of omission that whitewash the paper’s own role in deliberately covering up ACORN’s illicit activities before Election Day last November. The Times article by Scott Shane casts the ACORN stings as a purely partisan game: “Conservatives Draw Blood From Acorn, Favored Foe.”

The End of the Financial World as We Know It By MICHAEL LEWIS and DAVID EINHORN AMERICANS enter the New Year in a strange new role: financial lunatics. We’ve been viewed by the wider world with mistrust and suspicion on other matters, but on the subject of money even our harshest critics have been inclined to believe that we knew what we were doing. They watched our investment bankers and emulated them: for a long time now half the planet’s college graduates seemed to want nothing more out of life than a job on Wall Street. This is one reason...

15 December 2008 Rogue Nation Explanations of significant losses at investment firms are often attributed to rogue traders. These are traders who have schemed to defeat security measures. These rogues extended their trading portfolios credit exposure far beyond the limits of compliance, racking up substantial losses to be taken, if not risking the actual solvency of their firms. If they do not incur losses they are often not discovered. It is the losses that precipitate the collapse. Nick Leeson of Barings, Toshihide Iguchi of Resona Holdings, Yashuo Hamanaka at Sumitomo, John Rusnak at Allied Irish Banks, Luke Duffy of Australia...

The U.S. State Department of North Korea In the Six-Party Talks with North Korea, it gets ever more difficult to tell which side of this erstwhile hexagon Condi Rice’s State Department is negotiating for. On Feb. 6, the U.S. special envoy to these talks, Chris Hill, gave the Senate Foreign Relations Committee an update on the North Korea denuclearization agreement reached almost a year ago, which keeps running into snags such as North Korea’s insistence on first receiving a refund of some $25 million in allegedly crime-tainted funds frozen in Macau (which Hill arranged for Kim Jong Il to receive...

January 31, 2008 Bankers call the tune but we pay the piper Carl Mortished: Business Commentary The music stopped and everyone found a seat. As party games go, the version of musical chairs played out in Europe yesterday lacked that frisson of excitement created by uncertainty. In Paris, Daniel Bouton survived as chairman of Soci鴩 G鮩rale; Mervyn King was told to carry on running the Bank of England for a further five years; and in Zurich, Marcel Ospel remained at the head of UBS. As if thumbing his nose at his shareholders watching from the sidelines, MrOspel took the running...

nephew of Saddam Hussein serving a life sentence for making bombs for Iraq's insurgency escaped from prison Saturday in northern Iraq, authorities said. Ayman Sabawi, the son of Saddam's half brother Sabawi Ibrahim Hassan al-Tikriti, fled the prison some 45 miles west of Mosul in the afternoon with the help of a police officer, according to local police Brig. Abdul Karim al-Jubouri. Interior Ministry spokesman Brig. Abdul-Karim Khalaf confirmed the escape but declined to elaborate. Sabawi was convicted of illegally crossing the border from Syria and sentenced to 15 years in prison late last year by an Iraqi court. He...
