    Self-proclaimed “gaffe machine” Joe Biden added several extra zeroes to the nation’s coronavirus death toll during a campaign stop in Pennsylvania — prompting President Trump to slam the prospective Democratic nominee’s “mortifyingly stupid” comment. “People don’t have a job, people don’t know where to go, they don’t know what to do,” the former vice president said in Lancaster on Thursday, Fox News reported. “Now we have over 120 million dead from COVID.” In reality, the death toll from the illness in the US stood at about 122,000, according to figures from Johns Hopkins University. Biden, 77, did manage to catch...
  • How the Government has declared war on white English people

    England is in the middle of a profoundly disturbing social experiment. For the first time in a mature democracy, a Government is waging a campaign of aggressive discrimination against its indigenous population. In the name of cultural diversity, Labour attacks anything that smacks of Englishness. The mainstream public are treated with contempt, their rights ignored, their history trashed. In their own land, the English are being turned into second-class citizens.
  • FBI Stats Demolish NFL Protest Narrative (2017 Article)

    Posted on 10/2/2017, 9:11:48 AM by SJackson Yet another surge in black homicides -- and police had nothing to do with it. The Black Lives Matter fairy tale that police use black Americans for target practice took another hit as new FBI statistics showed the black homicide rate is skyrocketing and that cops had nothing to do with it. Apart from the FBI data, four separate studies were published last year refuting the claim that police shootings are racially-biased, but facts often have little effect on committed left-wingers who hate America. Democrats, whose party officially endorsed the violent, subversive Black...

    The surviving band members have not played together for 19 years An estimated 20 million people rushed to register for tickets to see Led Zeppelin as soon as the band announced their reunion, promoters have said. The remaining members of the legendary rock group will play a one-off show at the 20,000-capacity O2 arena in London on 26 November, they said on Wednesday. The concert's website has struggled to cope with demand, and organisers have asked fans to be patient. Registration for the £125 tickets closes at midday BST on Monday. Tickets for the show will be allocated by public...

    2010 started with a Republican Senate seat in true-blue Massachusetts, Democrats first such defeat in decades. On Nov. 2, Republicans gained six more Senate seats and a whopping 63 House seats, the worst midterm House losses since 1938. The damaging 2010 federal election results were nothing compared to what happened later when Democrats got their political clocks cleaned by aggressive state Republicans. Obama was more interested in his own reelection and fundraising. After 417 weeks in office, he’d held 416 fundraisers. Under Obama, Democrats lost upwards of 1,000 legislative seats along with control of chamber after chamber, plus numerous governors’...

    CHICAGO - More than a dozen Chicago police officers and supervisors were captured on video “lounging” inside a burglarized congressional campaign office and even appeared to be making popcorn and brewing coffee as people vandalized and stole from nearby businesses as protests and unrest spread across the city, a visibly angry Mayor Lori Lightfoot said Thursday. U.S. Rep. Bobby Rush, a Democrat whose district includes much of the city’s South Side and southern suburbs, said his staff first viewed the video and he brought it to Lightfoot on Wednesday. The footage was taken on May 31 and early June 1,...

    First daughter and White House adviser Ivanka Trump was poised to speak to the graduating Wichita State University and WSU Tech Class of 2020 during their commencement ceremony. But, like so many other political figures who are associated with conservatism, even by seven degrees of separation, Ivanka was the victim of the college cancel culture. Her invitation was revoked. But Ivanka didn't let the school's slight stop her from getting her message out to the graduates. She shared her speech, prerecorded on May 18, on Twitter this weekend. Hopefully some of the students clicked "play" because it was chock full...

    A man suspected of stabbing one NYPD officer and shooting two others reportedly yelled out ‘Allahu Akbar’ during the violent attack. Dzenan Camovic, 20, allegedly walked up to the group of cops in the Flatbush neighborhood of Brooklyn Wednesday night and lunged a knife into one of the officer’s necks. According to officials, he then took control of that policeman’s gun and shot the other two deputies in the hands. Camovic is accused of screaming ‘Allahu Akbar’ three times. The assailant was himself shot and injured by another police officer who quickly responded to the scene. Camovic, whose family hails...

    The Pentagon has told National Guardsmen deployed to the nation’s capital not to use firearms or ammunition, and has issued orders to send home active-duty troops that the Trump administration amassed outside the city in recent days, a sign of de-escalation in the federal response to protests in the city. Defense Secretary Mark T. Esper made the decision to disarm the guard without consulting the White House, after President Trump ordered a militarized show of force on the streets of Washington to quell demonstrations that were punctured by an episode of looting Sunday, two senior administration officials said. Trump had...

    The late evening of Aug. 9, 2014, I couldn’t sleep. I was due to substitute-anchor MSNBC’s “UP with Steve Kornacki” and should have been asleep. But after looking at my Twitter feed and reading the rage under #Ferguson, I felt compelled to type a reaction to the killing of Michael Brown by police officer Darren Wilson. Tying the shooting to the inane whine of certain politicians about a “war on whites,” I decried the next morning the death of yet another unarmed black man at the hands of a white police officer. In those early hours and early days, there...

    U.S Navy veteran Michael White has been freed by Iran and has left the country on a Swiss government aircraft, AP reports. Why it matters: White spent 683 days detained by the Iranian government. He was the first American known to be detained by Iran since President Trump took office. What they're saying: "For the past 683 days my son, Michael, has been held hostage in Iran by the IRGC and I have been living a nightmare. I am blessed to announce that the nightmare is over, and my son is safely on his way home. I am incredibly grateful...

    MSNBC announced on Friday that it has hired former FBI lawyer Lisa Page as an NBC News and MSNBC national security and legal analyst. On Friday night, President Trump blasted MSNBC's latest hiring decision. "You must be kidding??? This is a total disgrace!" Trump tweeted. Page made her debut as an MSNBC analyst during "Deadline: White House" alongside former Mueller probe prosecutor Andrew Weissmann, who appears to have been rehired by the network after they severed ties after it was announced he was hosting a Biden fundraiser, which was ultimately canceled. Both Page and Weissmann offered legal analysis on the...

    The authors 'can no longer vouch for the veracity of the primary data sources' A major medical magazine has retracted a study it published that claimed to have found increased mortality in coronavirus patients who took the drug hydroxychloroquine. The Lancet issued the retraction Thursday afternoon after successive days of questions regarding the study and the data underpinning it, both of which came from the medical analytics company Surgisphere. That study, published on May 22, determined that hydroxychloroquine – a drug repeatedly touted by President Trump as a possible viable treatment for the coronavirus – was "associated with an increased...
