Fired Miami Dolphins coach says blah, blah, blah, “that’s racist” and sues the NFL to make sure their chickens come home to roost.

[H/T Fractal Trader]ransomnote: Below the line near the bottom of this threadpost is a telegram post which only those in the private group or channel can share. The Telegram post links and identifies portions of a July 21, 2021 FDA document, once again confirming that the "Covid" test was designed to identify some other virus, not Covid-19. The fact that the FDA used some other virus to 'mimic' Covid-19 clinicly is obviously wrong on so many levels - but just the fact that the CDC/FAUCI lied and said Covid-19 was 'novel' (unique) and none of us would have any immunity...

NEW YORK, NY—Upon hearing the current Saturday Night Live cast was upset by the guest-hosting appearance of a man they disagreed with, the ghost of Chris Farley was reportedly stirred up and appeared to haunt the cast and lecture them on being funny. Farley has considered haunting the cast many times since his untimely death in 1997, but this was reportedly the "last straw" for the late, great comic. "Alright people, LISTEN UP!" Farley began while in character as fan-favorite motivational speaker Matt Foley. "I know you all are TRIGGERED and UPSET because some RICH WHITE MAN came on your...

Donald Trump won the state of Georgia in 2016 by 6 percentage points and over 200,000 votes. President Trump is the most popular Republican in US history. In 2020 he won over 74 million votes that we know of. We also now have evidence that Dominion voting machines were switching votes from President Trump to Joe Biden. ......Snip...... But Governor Kemp and Secretary of State Raffensperger don’t care.

A new strain of flu that has the potential to become a pandemic has been identified in China by scientists. It emerged recently and is carried by pigs, but can infect humans, they say. The researchers are concerned that it could mutate further so that it can spread easily from person to person, and trigger a global outbreak. While it is not an immediate problem, they say, it has "all the hallmarks" of being highly adapted to infect humans and needs close monitoring. As it's new, people could have little or no immunity to the virus. Pandemic threat A bad...

With anti-gun legislative majorities in place for the first time in nearly 30 years in Virginia, gun control groups are feeling pretty confident and cocky at the moment. So cocky, in fact, that they’re going to try to flip Texas in 2020. “We sent a message to the NRA in their own backyard,” said former congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, who launched a gun violence prevention group after she was shot at a rally in Tucson in 2011. “We are turning the page on an era where legislators cashed gun lobby checks while communities lived in fear of shootings.” Next on Giffords’...

We have a property that abuts at the back onto a busy 2 lane thoroughfare (one direction each way) that is being expanded to 4 lanes (2 each way). Currently have a wooded barrier of about 30 feet deep which reduces the noise dramatically. Plus I put a wooden fence against an existing chain link fence to blunt the noise and give privacy. while I understand the need for the expansion (I use the road often and know expansion is necessary) I want to be compensated fairly as well. I’m going to lose about half of my backyard, including a...

Trump’s DOJ says Whitaker can serve in acting role without Senate confirmation. Matthew Whitaker can properly serve as acting attorney general without Senate confirmation, the Justice Department said in a legal opinion released Wednesday, though the document is unlikely to end the debate over Mr. Whitaker’s installation as the country’s top law-enforcement officer.

WASHINGTON — More than 700 people have left the Environmental Protection Agency since President Trump took office, a wave of departures that puts the administration nearly a quarter of the way toward its goal of shrinking the agency to levels last seen during the Reagan administration. Of the employees who have quit, retired or taken a buyout package since the beginning of the year, more than 200 are scientists. An additional 96 are environmental protection specialists, a broad category that includes scientists as well as others experienced in investigating and analyzing pollution levels. Nine department directors have departed the agency...

In a letter to the Hawaii Republican Party on Wednesday, Rep. Beth Fukumoto wrote about the partisanship she saw from her colleagues on the right, which included criticism from her own caucus that she felt was due to her participation at the Women's March in Honolulu in January. "This election, I saw members of my party marginalizing and condemning minorities, ethnic or otherwise, and making demeaning comments towards women," Fukumoto wrote in her letter. "So, when I listened as our now top office holder refused to condemn the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II, speaking out didn't seem...

A beautiful Brazilian soap star has the lead role in her own daytime drama, which casts George Soros, the billionaire financier of lefty causes, as a heavy who not only broke her heart, but also reneged on a promise to give her an Upper East Side apartment worth $1.9 million. The drama will be staged in Manhattan Supreme Court, where 28-year-old Adriana Ferreyr yesterday filed a blockbuster $50 million suit charging, among other things, that the frisky octogenarian slapped her around while they were in bed discussing his real-estate betrayal. The sultry actress and the mogul, who's worth some $14.5...

After joyously toppling a dictator, protesters trusted the army to hold power until elections—but a vicious show of force this week has soured their faith. Ursula Lindsey reports from Cairo. The warm relations between Egyptians protesters and their army are over. Military police and, reportedly, masked special forces violently broke up protests in downtown Cairo late Friday night. The attack—and ongoing reports of "disappearances" and abuse—has soured the once hopeful relations between the military and pro-democracy forces here. The film director Ahmad Abdalla was in a group of several hundred protesters standing and chanting in front of the Egyptian parliament...

In what must have been one of his most painful tasks in office, UNLV President Neal Smatresk warned faculty leaders Tuesday to prepare for a budget catastrophe — news that left some in tears. (SNIP) The faculty was angry and indignant. “I’m sick we are destroying much of what we’ve built,” said Cecilia Maldonado, an educational-leadership professor and chairwoman of the Senate. (SNIP) The emotion built again when Maldonado read a list of grievances, each beginning with “I’m sick.” She said she is sick of politicians caricaturing professors with “our fat salaries and easy living.” She said she is sick...

PLANO, Texas, -- A Texas couple says they've downsized their garden display of spring bluebonnets, a state tradition, after their homeowners association threatened legal action. Eddie and Melissa Smith's bluebonnet bonanza began five years ago with three plants from a local Plano, Texas, home-improvement store, The Dallas Morning News reported Sunday. Explosive growth followed, and the bluebonnets spread over the Smith's entire lawn and jumped the sidewalk to curve around their corner lot, the newspaper said. "We didn't add more seeds, didn't fertilize, didn't water any extra," Melissa Smith said. "It was God's handiwork." But not everyone was a fan....

CLEARWATER, Fla. — Raised as Scientologists, Christie King Collbran and her husband, Chris, were recruited as teenagers to work for the elite corps of staff members who keep the Church of Scientology running, known as the Sea Organization, or Sea Org.

In order to continue their quest for financial freedom — a resolution they originally set for themselves in 2007 —Douglass residents Delores and Steven Guthrie will attempt "to live like no one else" in 2010. The concept, which the couple discovered through a step-by-step money management program they took part in at a local church, encourages individuals to become accountable for their finances and how they choose to spend their money, something local and national finance experts agree is the key to getting out of debt in the new year. Guthrie says she and her husband began to take Financial...

It's not often during midday cable news broadcasting you get to see raw emotion from one or two of the hosts. However, when President Barack Obama gets snubbed, there are exceptions to the rule. On MSNBC on April 10, co-hosts Contessa Brewer and Carlos Watson put their disapproval on display for viewers to see while reporting a decision by Arizona State University not to award Obama an honorary degree for speaking at the school's commencement next month. "In other news, President Obama will be giving the commencement address at Arizona State University on May 13th. But the president will not...
