Two people were injured after a stabbing attack in London on Sunday by a man who was shot and killed by police in what has been declared a "terrorist-related" incident. London's Metropolitan Police Service said two people were stabbed in Streatham, located in south London. A man was then subsequently shot by armed officers.

ATLANTA, GA—Everyone was really happy that the Allied forces stopped Hitler. Everyone, that is, except CNN, who published a retrospective on the war this week, zeroing in on the real issue of Operation Overlord: no gay female trans POCs in any of the units. While most people were really grateful that Hitler was defeated, despite the U.S. military's wider segregation issues at the time, most people are not as woke as CNN, who condemned the entire operation as racist and xenophobic. "Ugh, look at all these cisgendered males," the CNN opinion piece read. "At some point, you have to ask...

The Des Moines Register and CNN announced Saturday night that they would not release their crucial Iowa poll, citing an error in which one candidate’s name was left out of polling questions. Jonathan Martin of the New York Times tweeted that the candidate who was left out was former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg:

It was the saddest of times, it was the happiest of times; it was the time of funerary apparel and commiserations, it was the time of festive attire and congratulations; it was, in Washington D.C.'s grand theater of the absurd, the time for impeachment. The final act of this Faustian tragedy began a week before Christmas in 2019, when, draped in black and nervous as a mortician trying to look sad at a fifty-thousand-dollar funeral, Nancy Pelosi announced that the president had been impeached. In spite of the melancholy atmosphere that covered the proceedings like a shroud, the proclamation elicited...

**SNIP** “The good news is that I have the biggest anti-corruption plan since Watergate,” she said. “The bad news is that we need the biggest anti-corruption plan since Watergate. These problems, this corruption, started long before Donald Trump became president." "Some of the things we can do quietly. But that anti-corruption plan, there’s no way to do that quietly. We can’t keep doing this as a country. The one good thing about Donald Trump is that he’s got everybody off the sidelines. We run against that corruption. We run against the most corrupt administration in the history of this country....

Victim Angela Valle and "Grim Creepa."Facebook   The last words Angela Valle says she heard before her boyfriend drove an ax into her skull were a chilling omen she can’t forget.  “You all are not getting out of this,” Jerry Brown said, clutching the 3-foot hatchet as he stood over Valle and her childhood best friend Savannah Rivera, while they sat on the sofa in Valle’s Bushwick apartment. “It’s me, it’s me, what is wrong with you?” Valle tried to reason.  “Shut the f–k up. Just shut the f–k up. Sit on the floor,” Brown ordered, Valle recalled in her...

Author’s Note: On RedState back in September, I wrote, “A Quick and Compelling Bible Study for Those Who Don’t Read the Bible.”  After receiving positive comments from readers and many more via email, what appears below could be considered the second installment of an occasional series — but only when the Holy Spirit moves me to write about His Word. That said…The topic of three passages we are studying today — found in the New Testament Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke — chronicle the same miraculous event: Immediately upon Jesus’s death on the cross, “The curtain of the temple was torn in two.” Now,...

Not even this brutal, caught-on-video mugging — in which a struggling 83-year-old woman was dragged to the ground, and her purse wrenched away — is enough to get a suspect locked up these days under the state’s new bail reform law. Exclusive video obtained by The Post allegedly shows 56-year-old Dana White, of Jamaica, Queens, walking up behind the victim in front of a building on Eldridge St. on the Lower East Side at about 5:45 a.m. Monday. The victim is so petite compared to her attacker, that she stands only as high as his chest as he grabs at...

They thought she was making it all up. It cost a little boy his life. From cops and social workers to lawyers and judges, Long Island mom Justyna Zubko-Valva claims no one took her warnings about her NYPD cop husband, Michael Valva, seriously. Alleging sex abuse, starvation, brainwashing, beatings and possible child porn, the mom had insisted their three sons were suffering at Valva’s hands. But instead of getting help, Zubko-Valva became lost in a legal labyrinth where she was the one on trial, painted as a scorned woman with a “vendetta,” court papers show. One Suffolk County Family Court prosecutor...

“Hillary’s ego blinds her to the fact that nobody in either party wants to hear from her, and the fact that criticizing Bernie just reminds his supporters that the Democratic machine is out to get him,” he told the Washington Examiner in an email. Clinton has been omnipresent during the 2020 campaign, fueling speculation she herself was weighing a third stab at the White House until she missed a host of filing deadlines. Polls last fall even had her and 2020 front-runner, former Vice President Joe Biden, 77, neck-and-neck for the nomination. “Maybe there does need to be a rematch....

The autistic Long Island boy left to freeze to death in his garage — allegedly as “punishment” by his father — was sent to the house of horrors by a judge who ripped him from his mother’s custody without even holding a hearing, court transcripts obtained by The Post show. Nassau County Judge Hope Schwartz Zimmerman’s fateful Sept. 6, 2017, decision to put 8-year-old Thomas Valva and his two brothers in the custody of their dad, Michael, was made on the fly, the shocking transcripts show, without any formal, court-filed accusation of wrongdoing against their mom, Justyna Zubko-Valva. Michael Valva and his...

The Bernie Sanders campaign spent just under $1.2 million on private jet travel last quarter, outpacing the entire 2020 Democratic presidential primary field. The most recent filing from Sanders reveals $1,199,579 in spending during the final three months of 2019 to Apollo Jets, LLC, a "luxury private jet charter service." The campaign spent an additional $23,941 for transportation to Virginia-based Advanced Aviation Team. The candidate who comes closest to matching Sanders in private jet spending was former vice president Joe Biden, whose campaign spent $1,040,698 to Advanced Aviation Team last quarter. Traveling by private jet is estimated to produce roughly...

Shampeachment? Honey Badger don’t give a sh@t!!!

As the nation gets ready for a presidential election, the Democratic Party is in total turmoil. Their 2020 presidential candidates are not exciting voters. There is a very large field of candidates, but none of them seem able to defeat President Donald Trump in the upcoming general election. Among the candidates, no one has the charisma of Bill Clinton or Barack Obama. While each of the major candidates has supporters and is raising millions of dollars, the only candidate to create true devotion is U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT), practically an octogenarian. The polls show Sanders leading in Iowa and...

DES MOINES, Iowa – There will not be a final Des Moines Register poll in Iowa ahead of Monday’s caucuses. The newspaper, along with media partners CNN and Mediacom, announced Saturday night that they would not be releasing their survey, which is considered the gold standard in Iowa polling. The shocking news came after a Democratic presidential candidate’s name was omitted in at least one of the poll's interviews with a respondent. The New York Times reported that the candidate left off the call was Pete Buttigieg, former mayor of South Bend, Ind.

An expert claims that deadly coronavirus can be spread through the EYES after he contracted the disease, despite wearing a protective mask. Dr. Wang Guangfa has now theorized the similar coronavirus may be transmitted through the eye after testing positive following an eye infection. Mr. Wang was a leading figure in the fight against SARS virus that gripped China in 2003. We thought that this was the worst cover-up made by the communist government in China, but we thought wrong. Last week a video surfaced of a nurse wearing a protective suit and face mask treating the sick in Wuhan...

According to Israeli paper Ha'Aretz, during today's Super Bowl, there will be an ad involving drag queens. It's for Sabra Hummus. Sabra is owned by an Israeli company & Pepsi.

The nation just experienced a profoundly historic and disorienting moment when the House of Representatives voted to impeach the president of the United States, Donald J. Trump. Though his removal from office is highly unlikely given the makeup of the Senate, the moment demands whatever analysis Christian reflection can bring. On this occasion, there are no easy answers. And there’s no easily citable Bible verse a Christian can use to vindicate his or her opinion. Instead, a response to something as significant and momentous as impeachment—a moment that vividly captures the idea we are a nation of laws, not men—requires...

MADISON — The Wisconsin Department of Transportation wants everyone to know that getting a free ID for voting is easy.  Maybe too easy. The DOT page detailing the Wisconsin ID card petition process advises individuals seeking a voter ID card to provide the Division of Motor Vehicles with the usual identifying information — a birth certificate, Social Security card, proof of Wisconsin residency (utility bill, government mail, etc.), and proof of U.S. citizenship. “If you don’t have all or any of these, you can still get an ID for voting,” the web page assures. Really? Even if you don’t have proof of U.S....

A new poll reveals that 40 percent of Americans would prefer student debt forgiveness to universal health care. Student loan debt in America topped $1.7 trillion last week. According to a report by the College Fix, a new survey revealed that 40 percent of Americans prefer total student debt forgiveness to universal health care. The survey, which was conducted by LendEDU, revealed that nearly half of Americans would support student debt forgiveness, which would cost approximately $1.7 trillion. Meanwhile, providing universal health care would cost much more. Analysts estimate that providing free healthcare to all Americans would cost between $25...
