Democratic presidential candidate Bill de Blasio had an ethics complaint filed against him with the city’s Conflicts of Interest Board (COIB) on Thursday. The complainant, who remains unknown at this time, took issue with de Blasio's 2020 campaign posting a photo taken by the Mayoral Photography Office on his official Instagram account, New York Daily News reported.The picture shows de Blasio in front of a crowd at the city's 2017 Global Citizen Festival in Central Park and is included in sponsored posts on the social media website.“The Mayor is using a city paid for photo...

The Air Force announced Friday it will soon deploy two ground-based laser weapons to an undisclosed location to test how they can be used against small drones, the service’s first “operational field test” of an experimental “directed energy” weapon. Because laser weapons could fire constantly without wasting ammunition, military technology experts have theorized they could one day be useful in combating the small, remotely operated quadcopter drones that ISIS has used. They are also expected to be an effective counter against swarming attack drones, a concept that a handful of countries are exploring.

The President referred to Baltimore, MD as "a hellhole," and the nation erupted in anger. Within hours, snowflakes whined that it was hurtful, offensive, insulting, and unpresidential. Within days, people started talking about the facts, though, and the President was redeemed. The many statistics on crime, unemployment, poverty, and urban blight prove that, by any objective standard, Baltimore is indeed a hellhole. The proper political question isn’t what to do about a politician’s statement; the proper question is what to do about the facts? BALTIMORE ISN'T UNUSUAL. We should begin by acknowledging another truth; whatever can be said about Baltimore...

Life's tough for the ever-vacationing former President Obama. As if the licking flames of the Mueller report's aftermath, getting ever closer to him, weren't enough, there's also the 2020 presidential race. Via his media buddies at CNN, he's got word out that he's not happy with the extreme leftward turn of his fellow Democrats in the 2020 race. Here's what Grabien has about it: SCIUTTO: “Joining us now, CNN’s Rebecca Buck. CNN has reporting that President Obama himself was not pleased by the criticism of some of the Democrats. What are you learning?” BUCK: “Well, that’s right, Jim. As you...

Maybe Jennifer Lopez should run for Congress. That’s our reaction to her performance in Israel. Some 57,000 Israelis came out to hear “Jenny From the Block” sing in Tel Aviv’s Hayarkon Park. She was having such a good time, the Daily Algemeiner reports, that, after getting a translation from a member of the audience, she called out “I Love You” — in Hebrew. The crowd went wild. What a contrast to the sour socialism of another famous figure from the Bronx, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Since getting elected to Congress, the congresswoman has done little in respect of Israel except kvetch. The...

Carolla and Prager team up for a frightening look at the First Amendment under fire. “No Safe Spaces” reveals the Left’s plan to squash free speech as we’ve known it for 243 years. That’s not hyperbole. The evidence speaks for itself over and again in 90 riveting minutes. “No Safe Spaces” could have gone on for another hour, maybe two, had all the free speech attacks made the final cut. The film will be released in the Fall, but one thing stands true following an early preview. It’s hard to imagine a more vital film hitting theaters by year’s end.

Police in El Paso, Texas, are responding Saturday to an active shooter in the area of the Cielo Vista Mall, the agency tweeted. "Scene is still active," police wrote, adding, "avoid the area" around Hawkins and Gateway East boulevards. At least three businesses in the area are on lockdown. Three Walmart employees took refuge at a Landry's Seafood house, restaurant manager Oscar Collazo told CNN. The women appeared "shook up" but not injured. Landry's had already gone on lockdown, he said, but opened its doors when the employees ran there.

UPDATE: Up to 18 people shot at Walmart store in El Paso, Texas, local NBC affiliate KTSM reports. Details soon. Police and other emergency services are responding to reports of an active shooting at the Walmart near the Cielo Vista Mall in El Paso, Texas, local officials and witnesses say. Only few details were immediately available. The incident began at about 11 a.m. on Saturday when officers were called for an active shooter at Walmart. It was not immediately clear if police have confirmed a shooting and, if so, what is the status of the suspect.

While the Democrats continue to shank each other onstage since their 2020 clown car is still 15-plus candidates deep, President Trump is raking in the cash and already de facto running a general election campaign. He had a rally in the battleground state of Ohio last night, Cincinnati to be exact, and this one woman should be given VIP seating for all future Trump rallies: Prior to the rally, which was in front of a packed house, one female Trump supporter called out Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Ilhan Omar (D-MN), and the Democrats for trashing America, putting down the country,...

Despite a study by the Crime Prevention Research Center showing that nearly 90 percent of the mass shootings in America occur in “gun-free zones,” the New York legislature has just enacted a law that bans schools from allowing teachers licensed to carry firearms to bring their weapons onto school grounds. Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) characterized the new law as a “nonproliferation measure. The answer to gun violence never will be more guns. The notion that a so-called ‘good guy with a gun’ is an appropriate response to deter a so-called ‘bad guy with a gun’ is absurd. Teachers aren’t qualified...

Paid child care is expensive and eats up much of the income from lower-paid employment, which is all many mothers can get. What I propose is a system where two mothers can join up and provide mutual child care. Mom2 would work the days Mom1 doesn't. They might live in the same dwelling or just be neighbors. They would generally want to find a line of work that is seven days a week so they can each get close to 40 hours of work in each week. Grocery store work, retail store shelving work and restaurant work are some suitable...

The Somali double agent, ilhan Omar and Nancy Pelosi took a trip to Ghana. Along with the Congressional Black Caucus they visited the doors of no return. This was where the slaves left Africa to head to America. They were there to commemorate the 400-year of the first slaves Landing in America. Pelosi look like she wanted to go home, now. What a waste of time, and taxpayer money.

So, as most of FR knows, I'm a big beauty pageant follower and I follow every world pageant as well as individual country & regional pageants. The Miss Venezuela 2019 Pageant just took place this past Thursday, Aug. 1st from Caracas, and the biggest horror was how rail-thin and unhealthy the contestants all looked. I don't know how to post photos, so here's a link to a photo of the winner, Thalia Olvinos, aged 20, in a bathing suit. https://www.google.com/search?q=thalia+olvino+bathing+suit&rlz=1CAQRFK_enUS791US791&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjZ15POmufjAhUIU98KHW9qAgMQ_AUIESgB&biw=1536&bih=706#imgrc=3fasiyprvpDkhM: Well,as soon as I posted this photo on my Facebook wallpage, some of my liberal friends started going nuts, saying...

But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart. 1 Samuel 16:7 KJV What if everything the so called experts know about elections is wrong? What if President Trump broke the mold and exposed the experts for the frauds they are? People like Karl Rove who supposedly knows everything about the voting public destroyed George Bush and he is the guru of elections? They...

Once upon a racist time, a little racist gender-neutral girl skipped through the racist forest until she came to a racist cottage in a racist clearing. “I wonder what racist lives here?” she wondered. She knocked on the racist door, but no racist answered, so she opened the racist door and poked her racist head inside. She saw three racist bowls of racist porridge on the racist table … Are your eyes glazing over yet? It’s a funny thing about language, but if you use a word too much, you tend to ignore it. It loses its meaning. It becomes...

The Gilroy Garlic Festival gunman killed himself, the county medical examiner concluded Friday, contradicting an earlier police account that three officers had shot him dead within a minute.

The Gillette-Schick duopoly better watch out for Dollar Shave Club and Harry’s, which promise more convenience and less cost to do what men hate most in the morning.Don’t look now, bros but your morning routine is getting disrupted—in a good way. While stubble, beards, and moustaches may be in vogue everywhere, lots and lots of men feel like they have to shave every day—or at least every other day. Which means they are subject to an industry dominated by a few big players who are quite set in their ways. For more than a century, the shaving market has been...
