Teenage climate change activist Greta Thunberg plans to take her message to the United States - but instead of flying, she's going to set sail across the Atlantic after shunning planes. The Swedish teenager, who inspired tens of thousands of school students across the world to skip class for a day to protest for faster action against climate change, said she spent months trying to figure out how to travel to the US without flying on a plane. She said she has ruled out using them due to their high greenhouse gas emissions. The 16-year-old tweeted that she plans to...

San Francisco and Seattle share many common threads. Both are politically progressive cities mired in a homeless crisis flanked by a growing unsheltered population experiencing drug addiction and mental illness. Each city is looking at the other for solutions. The leadership of each city is has been criticized for not having a plan that works, for not reducing the number of unsheltered homeless, for not getting people into housing, not getting people into drug abuse and mental illness treatment and all without breaking the bank. Despite increased incremental spending of tens of millions of dollars each year, San Francisco leaders...

Multiple Wisconsin police agencies are investigating shootings at two separate homes in Lake Hallie and Lafayette that left five people dead. The Chippewa County Sheriff's Office responded to a 911 call in regards to a shooting incident at a home in the village of Lake Hallie Sunday around 10:30 p.m. When police arrived at the home, they found a man and woman who were deceased, and two other adults who had been injured by gunshots.

Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) on Monday unveiled legislation that would be the first step in implementing the Green New Deal, outlining plans for addressing how environmental plans affect low-income communities. The draft bill is designed to address what the lawmakers describe as the third pillar of the Green New Deal — ensuring that no community gets left behind. Dubbed the Climate Equity Act, the legislation lays out steps for Congress and the White House to “guarantee that the policies comprising a future Green New Deal protect the health and economic wellbeing of all Americans for...

Special Counsel Robert Mueller had a bad day last week. The build-up to his congressional testimony rivaled that of Geraldo Rivera opening Al Capone’s vault. Endless fanfare and hype, but both Mueller and the vault were empty, devoid of treasure, or any smoking gun. At one level, Mueller is a sad figure, a doddering old man, looking foolish on an international stage, after being praised for two years for his legal acumen and integrity. Was his performance genuine or contrived? Was he trying to salvage his reputation as a card-carrying deep-state elitist by playing a sympathetic old man being badgered...

A crash involving at least two vehicles on the Garden State Parkway on Monday left a car pinned against the center barrier nearly perpendicular to the road. No one was seriously hurt in in the crash, which took place on the southbound side near milepost Exit 82 in Toms River, State Police said. Photos from the scene taken by Jersey Sure News Network show the nose of a car against the road while the two-door car leans against a pick-up truck with heavy front-end damage.

In this case of “Who bit my burger?!,” it turns out it was the cop the whole time. In a strange twist, an Indiana police officer is apologizing to a McDonald’s after accusing someone at the restaurant of taking a bite out of his food. Apparently, the officer had taken the bite himself before re-wrapping the sandwich to save it for later — and forgot that he had done so. In mid-July, the officer stopped by a McDonald’s in Indianapolis and ordered a McChicken sandwich, along with fries and a cookie, WTHR reports. He apparently took a bite out of...

I don’t know who first made the point that the demand for racism today exceeds the supply, which is why we see things like the Jussie Smollette hoax and countless other campus racism hoaxes. And now Trump has the left’s Default Dog Whistle Racism Detector turned up to 11 with his attacks on cities and districts run chiefly by African-American and Democratic Party machines, because for the left criticism of any non-white politician is off limits. I have a simple theory: Trump knows what he’s doing. This is the political equivalent of “Crazy Eddie,” the frenetic TV ad pitchman constantly...

More than a year in the making, the new website embodies the very essence of what Judicial Watch is all about: Simply (yet, we hope at times somewhat sublimely) it provides compelling information about what JW has done… what it is now doing… and what – with the help of its supporters – it intends to do in the future to fight government corruption and help assure full transparency.

The shooter who killed three people and wounded at least 11 more has been identified as Santino Willian Legan, a described Iranian American. Legan had an Instagram account on which he shared only three photos. One of the photos depicted Ali Asghar Vahabzadeh, Legan’s maternal grandfather.

(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch announced that U.S. District Court Judge Reggie B. Walton last week ordered a hearing on Tuesday, July 30, 2019, regarding the rate of production of emails, text messages, and other communications between former FBI official Peter Strzok and former FBI attorney Lisa Page (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of Justice (No. 1:18-cv-00154)). The Court scheduled the hearing to discuss: “Upon further consideration, the Court is concerned that the processing rate adopted by the Court may be inadequate.” The Court’s July 24th order follows a joint status report by the FBI and Judicial Watch that discloses...

Q is the result of the sacrifices and commitment of countless patriots to win back our captured country from the Deep State and achieve the transformation President Trump promised in this campaign video. President Trump has said the awakening of the public is key to this transformation. Q describes this awakening as follows: "The Great Awakening ('Freedom of Thought’), was designed and created not only as a backchannel to the public (away from the longstanding ‘mind’ control of the corrupt & heavily biased media) to endure future events through transparency and regeneration of individual thought (breaking the chains of...

Baltimore's rat problem is bad enough that at one point, rats tunneled so intensely beneath a particular area of pavement that when garbage collectors drove over it, their truck sunk up to its axles. Rats in the vicinity took full advantage of the mishap and swarmed the truck, gorging on the garbage inside. ...

VIDEO Beto O'Rourke last week uploaded yet another livestream video. This time he was in Flint, Michigan cooking spaghetti and boring the hell out of everybody with empty platitudes tossed out only for the purpose of advancing his horribly failed presidential campaign. Amidst all the banalities, one bit of inadvertent comedy gold did emerge which can serve as the metaphor for Beto O'Rourke and his campaign.

Want to influence a casino bid? Polish your corporate image? Not be labeled a racist? Then you need to pay Al Sharpton. For more than a decade, corporations have shelled out thousands of dollars in donations and consulting fees to Sharpton’s National Action Network. What they get in return is the reverend’s supposed sway in the black community or, more often, his silence. Sony Pictures co-chair Amy Pascal met with the activist preacher after leaked emails showed her making racially charged comments about President Obama. Pascal was under siege after a suspected North Korean cyberattack pressured the studio to cancel...

How the Democrat machine - that Rep. Cummings is part of - destroyed Charm City. In the 1950s and early ’60s, Baltimore was booming," begins John Perazzo in his elegy and indictment of the ruin that the Democrats wrought. "In 1967, however, this prosperity began to vanish when the city government was taken over by a string of Democratic mayors." The New Shame of the Cities, Perazzo's pamphlet for the David Horowitz Freedom Center, is a vital counterweight to the mendacious cries of racism that have descended on President Trump for daring to speak the truth about Baltimore and Rep....
