In London last week for my suit against the UK media censor Ofcom over our coverage of the Covid vaccines, I did wind up making a brief statement outside the Royal Courts of Justice. But, to be honest, having flown in a day after leaving hospital, I was pretty under par, and was happy to let my comrade in arms, Naomi Wolf, handle the full-strength pavement performance. I haven't had the stamina for stage and screen (or even, really, audio) for almost a year now, and it kind of shows. However, those interested can hear what I had to say...

The world has become increasingly fascinated by President Joe Biden’s age and health, with some even turning to doctors for snapshot appraisals of the 81-year-old president's ‘freezing’ episodes. Knewz.com has learned of one such opinion stemming from the inventor of the gold-standard cognitive test, Dr. Ziad Nasreddine. Speaking to theDaily Mail, Dr. Nasreddine noted that slurred speech is a symptom of Parkinson's disease and is brought on by disrupted secretions of brain hormones responsible for movement. The latter was broached in the context of Biden’s numerous erroneous speech and movement episodes—and sometimes the complete lack thereof. The last such occurrence...

Just wondering what would happen if FR ceased to exist. Talk about a lifestyle change. Inflation is roaring and taking a trip is much more costly. Groceries - fegedaboudit. Brandonomics is hitting everyone very hard. And that's even before buying that very first mandatory EV! Times are tough for everyone.

The Utah trans woman accused of gunning down her parents in cold blood said she “would do it again” in a chilling admission to cops after she was arrested following an extensive manhunt, according to an affidavit. Mia Bailey, 28, was arrested near the Mormon temple in St. George on Wednesday morning, several hours after her mother and father were found dead at their home. Once in custody, Bailey – who recently changed her legal gender and name – allegedly confessed that she went to her parents’ home with the intention of killing them, as well as her brother, KSLTV...

A Philadelphia influencer known as “Meatball” avoided jail after she was arrested for live-streaming rabid looters who raided several stores across the city during protests last September. The 22-year-old influencer, whose real name is Dayjia Blackwell, was sentenced to five years probation and ordered to complete 150 hours of community service on Thursday. Blackwell was originally charged with six felonies including burglary, criminal trespassing, conspiracy, criminal mischief, riot with the intent to commit a felony and criminal use of a communication facility.

Ukraine's First Lady Olena Zelenska has opened up about coming 'close to psychological burnout' caused by Russian president Vladimir Putin's barbaric invasion of her homeland. She told of trying to stay strong for her husband. Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky, as well as her children - and people across the war-torn nation. Russian forces invaded in February 2022 with the conflict still dragging on as Ukraine resists - with Mr Zelensky this week making a new appeal to the West for more crucial military equipment.

Congressman Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) apologized for calling the rapes committed by Hamas terrorists on October 7 a "lie." In an interview with WNYC Radio, Bowman was asked about his previous comments on the matter and answered, “Immediately when the [United Nations] provided additional evidence, I voted to condemn the sexual violence. I apologize for my comments.” “As soon as I got the additional information from the UN, we condemned the sexual violence, we voted to condemn it, and we’re continuing to do the work,” he said. .....

California is beyond saving ... California Supreme Court .. block an anti-tax initiative from appearing on the ballot. This initiative, known as the Taxpayer Protection and Government Accountability Act, was backed by the business community and sought to make it more difficult to increase taxes in California. Among other things, it would have required the legislature to obtain voter approval for any new or increased state taxes. There's nothing groundbreaking about it, as voters in other states have used the ballot box to approve or deny tax initiatives before. But Gavin Newsom and the Democrat-controlled legislature were having none of...

I thought some of you might find this useful:I might be naive about what AI technology can do, but the following amazed me. I use AI every day to do research (yes, I confirm what it says by multiple sources) and in writing VBA code to analyze stock and options prices, volume, technical indicators, etc. I am increasingly shocked by how much time it saves me and how much it has helped me in accomplishing heretofore difficult to impossible tasks.I found an image online of a checklist that might be useful in my work (before starting any stock market trading...

Thanks to a tip from a friend, I came across a recent story from citizen journalist Tony Seruga that was highly suspect, and very concerning—uniforms, cruiser decals, and radios from the New York Police Department were disappearing, in significant numbers. Now, Seruga is reporting that the missing law enforcement gear and supplies isn’t a mystery that’s exclusive to the Big Apple, but apparently happening across the nation: Tony Seruga @TonySeruga While I have hundreds of long time trusted contacts between NYPD and LAPD, I am getting messages from LEOs across the U.S. that uniforms, equipment, cruisers (even a SWAT truck)...

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) confirmed to Fox News that the Ecuadorean illegal immigrant charged with raping a 13-year-old girl in New York City was caught by Border Patrol in Eagle Pass, Texas, in June 2021, then released into the U.S. with a future court date. In addition, the agency confirmed in a statement to Fox News' Bill Melugin that in February 2022 an immigration judge ordered Christian Geovanny Inga-Landi, 25, to be deported, but he never was. Inga-Landi is part of ICE's nondetained docket, which Fox News reported this week has exploded to 7.4 million cases, with each...

There has been a great deal of (seemingly warranted) scrutiny directed at Texas Children's Hospital since reports emerged two weeks ago of the Department of Justice going after whistleblower Dr. Ethan Haim, a resident at Baylor College of Medicine, on charges of improperly accessing and disclosing patient information in violation of HIPAA. In 2023, Haim told journalist Christopher Rufo that the hospital was continuing to perform "gender-affirming" surgeries on minors — a practice that was outlawed by Texas Lawmakers in September 2023. The uproar over Haim's targeting was followed by reports of a visit from FBI agents to a nurse...

NBC News is having a nervous breakdown over the Biden administration not doing enough to fight so-called “domestic disinformation” before the 2024 election. “The Biden admin has no firm plan to call out domestic disinformation in the 2024 election,” NBC News whined in its June 19 headline. The outlet whined that the reason for this hesitation is due to Americans being fed up after dealing with the FBI and Department of Homeland Security being exposed for extensively coordinating censorship strategies with Big Tech companies at least since the 2020 election cycle. “Although cyber experts in and outside of government expect...

Before we get into this abysmal segment, let’s not forget that this network is doing its job: keeping liberal blood pressures low by feeding the sheep grade-A liberal propaganda. It’s not a shock that MSNBC host Joy Reid and Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) would label the rape of a minor by an illegal alien as “fearmongering.” I’m not sure it is, given that it’s true. An illegal alien was busted for raping a 13-year-old in Queens, New York, this week (via ABC 7 NY): A 25-year-old Ecuadorian has been arrested in connection with the "horrific" rape of a 13-year-old girl...

In an alarming trend between 2020 and 2022, California witnessed a dramatic population decline, with a staggering 700,000 residents fleeing the state. This mass exodus, primarily to Texas, marks the largest state-to-state migration in U.S. history, as reported by U.S. Census data. Over the past decade, the Golden State saw 8.5 million people relocate elsewhere, while only 6.3 million ventured in, driven away by sky-high living costs, a housing and homelessness crisis, and growing fears of crime.

The statehouse is on fire. Not literally, of course. No hook–and–ladder trucks surrounding the Capitol with sirens blaring and lights flashing. No firefighters hauling hoses up the steps and into the marbled halls. No television news helicopters circling. Metaphorically, however, Republican primary voters this week stoked embers of discontent into a bonfire that engulfed the Senate – and even singed the House where House Appropriations Chair Kevin Wallace was forced into an Aug. 27 runoff and Stillwater Rep. John Talley was defeated. Three incumbent senators – including the incoming Senate president pro tem – were dethroned. Three more barely survived....

Actor and former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (R) said that the traditional “climate change dialogue” is not going to work anymore, particularly when it comes to high-polluting countries. Schwarzenegger joined MSNBC’s Jonathan Lemire on Thursday to discuss clean energy and climate solutions. Lemire asked “The Terminator” star how he would try to reach bigger polluters like China and India and warn them of the climate change effects. “Well, I think that there will always be obstacles,” Schwarzenegger replied, later adding, “I think all of it has to do with communication.” The former governor, who has been an avid exercise advocate,...

Liberal actress-turned-activist Jane Fonda claimed that if former President Donald Trump is elected in November, we will not have a livable future. During an appearance on CNN‘s “The Situation Room, Fonda praised Joe Biden, claiming he is “someone we can work with.?’ “The elections in November or existential really, who wins in November is going to determine whether we have a livable future,” Fonda said. “It’s as simple as that. There’s a very stark choice. It’s not that I’m 100% happy with President Biden, but he’s someone that we can work with, that the American people can work with.”
