Four stabbings in four East London locations within ninety minutes and it doesn’t even make the news. That tells you a lot about the state of London (or Stab City, as it is increasingly known). The British Capital is witness to daily violence that is as unrelenting as it is overwhelming. Under the Muslim mayor Sadiq Khan, homicides are the highest in a decade and knife crime offenses are at record highs. It is against this backdrop that these horrific stabbings have become something of everyday life for Londoners, too mundane to trouble a newsdesk and too routine for a...

President Donald Trump should use his February 24-25 visit to India to help companies export more Indian college-graduate workers into U.S. white-collar jobs, says an Indian trade group run by Indian and U.S.-Indian companies. The trade association, dubbed NASSCOM, “is lobbying the two sides to treat the movement of skilled Indian workers under the H-1B scheme as a trade issue, asking that it be separated from the president’s broader concerns about immigration to the US,” according to a report in Financial Times: “We’re at a loss trying to figure out why we’re seeing the kind of discrimination when this is...

The news: A deepfake of the president of India’s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Manoj Tiwari, went viral on WhatsApp in the country earlier this month, ahead of legislative assembly elections in Delhi, according to Vice. It’s the first time a political party anywhere has used a deepfake for campaigning purposes. In the original video Tiwari speaks in English, criticizing his political opponent Arvind Kejriwal and encouraging voters to vote for the BJP. The second video has been manipulated using deepfake technology so his mouth moves convincingly as he speaks in Haryanvi, the Hindi dialect spoken by the target voters...

Philip Haney, the author of “See Something, Say Nothing: A Homeland Security Officer Exposes the Government’s Submission to Jihad,” has died at the age of 73.

Carter tweeted regarding Haney’s death saying, “Somebody I deeply respected and considered a friend Phil Haney – a DHS whistleblower during the Obama Admin was apparently killed yesterday in Southern California. Pray for his family and...

A new study by Chinese researchers indicates the novel coronavirus may have begun human-to-human transmission in late November from a place other than the Huanan seafood market in Wuhan. The study published on ChinaXiv, a Chinese open repository for scientific researchers, reveals the new coronavirus was introduced to the seafood market from another location, and then spread rapidly from market to market. The findings were the result of analyses of genome-wide data, sources of infection and the route of spread of 93 samples of the novel coronavirus collected from 12 countries across four continents.

The mainstream media went all-in on shaming former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg over allegedly spreading "disinformation" that was meant to overtly lampoon his Democratic rivals, crickets included. During Wednesday night's Democratic debate, Bloomberg was the target of several attacks, but the moment he touted his own business background had his opponents speechless. "Maybe you want to talk about businesses. I think I'm the only one here who ever started a business, is that fair?" Bloomberg looked over at his opponents, none of whom responded. A moment later, Bloomberg quipped, "OK," and carried on with his remarks.

Two U.S. senators are urging the Federal Transit Authority to clarify a ban on Chinese rail manufacturers and to warn local transit authorities of potential national security threats from China, in a letter obtained by Axios. The big picture: The ban highlights a growing expansion of national security risks to include economic security, as the U.S. responds to Chinese government economic policies that many perceive as exploitative. Details: Dated Feb. 13 and addressed to Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao, the letter from Senators John Cornyn (R-Texas) and Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.) cites confusion about the ban and urges the FTA to provide...

Before they dropped out, Kamala Harris and Julian Castro were big Joy Reid faves. Now with only people of pallor left to choose from, Reid seems to like Elizabeth Warren. One person who is definitely not high on Reid's list is Bernie Sanders. During MSNBC's coverage of the Nevada caucuses this morning, Saturday, Reid ripped Sanders on two fronts. First, she claimed that by tweeting that he wouldn't let the Democratic establishment stop him, Sanders was "kicking to the curb" 65 million Hillary voters, among others. Second, she compared Sanders to the ultimate liberal villain, President Trump. Reid claimed there...

This is an expanded version of my previous article "Julian Assange, CrowdStrike, and the Russian Hack that Wasn't." "American Greatness" wanted me to do it because CrowdStrike has received so much attention recently. There's a good bit of overlap, but this is more comprehensive. It incorporates new information and further elaborates on old info. Supersedes original piece as best source for full story of how and why fake DNC hack was perpetrated and precisely what it was designed to do.

Joe Biden and Elizabeth Warren are unimpressed with Mike Bloomberg’s decision to release three women from their nondisclosure agreement, saying the former New York City mayor needs to do much more. “Just not good enough,” the Massachusetts Senator told reporters Friday. “Michael Bloomberg needs to do a blanket release so that all women who have been muzzled by nondisclosure agreements can step up and tell their side of the story in terms of what Michael Bloomberg has done,” The criticism was swiftly echoed by former VP Biden, a tag team which echoed their joint attack on Bloomberg during the Democratic...

Phil Haney the patriot, whose work in the department of Homeland Security was scrubbed by the Obama administration because it implicated Islam , has been found dead along a highway in California. His book “See Something, Say Nothing” is the account of his experience being black balled and dismissed for his work on Islamic infiltration of America. He will be sorely missed but is with his Savior and Lord now.

A liberal couple driving their car have been arrested for driving two teens off the road because the kids had Trump stickers on their bicycles. The police in Hobart, Indiana, arrested Kyren Gregory Perry-Jones, 23, and Cailyn Marie Smith, 18, after reviewing Snapchat video that showed the July 22 incident, according to NWI.com. According to the police investigation, Smith can be heard taunting the teens and saying, “Y’all scared, just like your president … America is not great, (expletive).” Smith is also heard asking the teens if they are Trump supporters, and they admit that they are.

“And I think: It is time for moral leadership to be restored to the White House,” he said. “So when you are ready to share that deepest truth about yourself, when you are ready to step out of the closet you step out into something hopeful and inclusive, and you look up to Washington and you see a president who cares about you and loves you.”

Despite being a self-described socialist and a scourge of the elite classes, Bernie Sanders is in fact a millionaire with a property portfolio that includes three homes, which are pictured in exclusive DailyMail.com photos. The 78-year-old Vermont senator’s property portfolio was mocked by presidential candidate Mike Bloomberg during Wednesday night’s debate, as he remarked: “The best known socialist in the country happens to be a millionaire with three houses. What did I miss?” “You missed that I work in Washington; house one,” responded Sanders. “I live in Burlington; house two. And like thousands of other Vermonters, I do have a...

The 1980 United States Olympic hockey team struck gold and started a movement. The American squad was a patchwork of college players from the Northeast and the upper Midwest under the direction of coach Herb Brooks. They completed their improbable run to the gold medal on Sunday, Feb. 24, with a 4-2 victory over Finland at the Olympic Fieldhouse in Lake Placid, N.Y

The initial forced labor in the British North American colonies involved indentured servants who served a limited amount of time and were then freed. Many whites volunteered to serve a period of time in exchange for funds to pay for their trip to North America. Although these indentured servants were only temporary slaves, they were slaves in every sense of the word. Owners could mistreat them and even choose their sexual partners. Use of indentured servants continued through April, 1775, when prominent Virginia planter George Washington advertised a reward for the return of 8 white and 2 black runaways. s...
