Not tens of thousands of people like at Trump – or maybe even Bernie Sanders – rallies Kit Daniels | Infowars.com Democratic frontrunner Joe Biden, who has ‘effectively endorsed’ President Trump’s re-election with a slip-up on Saturday, attracted tens of people to a campaign event in Flint, Michigan. In Biden’s defense, he at least filled up all the seats his campaign provided, and it appears he had a overflow crowd of 50 or so people according to photos, definitely tens of people and not hundreds of people, although that wouldn’t be a relatively large crowd either given the crowd sizes...

Last week, Fifth Third Bank revealed that it was facing a Consumer Financial Protection Bureau enforcement action over “alleged unauthorized account openings.” And Monday, the other shoe dropped when the CFPB said it is suing Cincinnati-based Fifth Third alleging the bank’s employees opening accounts in customers’ names without their consent in order to meet sales goals and earn incentives. According to the CFPB, “for several years Fifth Third, without consumers’ knowledge or consent: opened deposit and credit-card accounts in consumers’ names; transferred funds from consumers’ existing accounts to new, improperly opened accounts; enrolled consumers in unauthorized online-banking services; and activated...

Chronic wasting disease first appeared in Pennsylvania back in 2012. Now, researchers at the University of Pennsylvania are exploring some ‘off-the-wall’ measures to identify the fatal neurological disease in deer and other cervid species before they expire. One approach UPenn is exploring is the use of disease-sniffing dogs to detect CWD in deer feces in one of three new research projects receiving $1 million from the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture. According to Penn Live, the department is supplying $242,246 for the project, which will be led by Cynthia Otto, professor and director of Penn’s School of Veterinary Working Dog Center....

The data operation that the Trump-Pence reelection campaign conducts at each of the president’s rallies is doing more than just building a list for future fundraising and get-out-the-vote efforts. President Trump's aides reveal that it is providing surprising evidence that his base is continuing to expand with the addition of Democrats, blacks, Latinos, and nonvoters.

What should I do to protect myself from the coronavirus? How long will the threat last? Will it go away when summer gets here?

One of my favorite posters on free republic is sod poodle. When he/she posts, I always pause and read the thread, as it is always interesting and humorous. While doing a You Tube search for Ed Montana songs, I came across these two "Sod Poodle" songs, one by Ed Montana and the other by Carson Leverett. Apparently the Sod Poodles are an Amarillo, Texas baseball team. It is good to learn something new on most days. In honor of one of my favorite freepers, here are two Sod Poodle songs, one by Ed Montana, the other by Carson Leverett. Thanks,...

The oil price war that Saudi Arabia and Russia started will hurt the fiscal revenues of the oil producers in the Persian Gulf, including the Saudis, OPEC’s top producer and the world’s top oil exporter, according to credit rating agency Fitch. “The collapse in oil prices will clearly be seen in fiscal numbers for the Gulf,” Jan Friedrich, the senior sovereign analyst for the Middle East and Africa, said on Monday, as carried by Reuters.

As school districts and colleges around the region go online-only or close, Washington state’s largest school district released a statement Friday saying it won’t be doing that: Seattle Public Schools will remain open. The district’s reasoning, the announcement said, beyond listening to health officials, is making sure children receive the different services they need — in and out of the classroom. “While education is our primary responsibility, public schools are also the access point to critical social services for thousands of students and families,” district spokesman Tim Robinson wrote in the statement. “Many of our families rely on our schools...

The first COVID-19 death has been reported in Santa Clara County, California on Monday, according to the Santa Clara Public Health Department. A woman in her 60’s was in the hospital for several weeks, officials say.

The patient was also the third confirmed case reported in the county on Feb. 28. The woman passed away Monday morning at the El Camino Hospital. “This is a tragic development. The...

California Governor Gavin Newsom offered rare praise of President Trump and Vice President Pence as more individuals across his state continue to test positive for the Coronavirus. During a presser, Newsom was asked about the federal response to the outbreak and whether they were doing enough to combat it—Democratic presidential candidates and some mainstream media members claim Trump is not doing enough. “We had a very long conversation, and every single thing he said they followed through on,” Governor Newsom told the group of reporters.

There – a concealed hatch. Van Allen tugged it open with his fingers and descended into the ground, closing the hatch behind. Below, he flicked on lights at a switch. He hung up his coat. Push-button LED lights were stuck to the walls using tape. There was a portable gas stove down here, and now that Van Allen was in for the night, he lit it and emptied a can of soup into a pan. So. No giveaway litter. No lingering near the hatch during daylight hours. And no boasting, not at The Garden Gate, not while fulfilling handyman jobs...

A couple of years ago, when it was unearthed that the city couldn’t, uh, locate some $33 million in its central bank account, and that some seven city accounts hadn’t even been reconciled for years, and that the crack CPAs at City Hall had committed $924 million in accounting errors, I called for the dismissal of longtime Finance Director Rob Dubow on this theory: What are the chances that this egregious example of rank incompetence was a one-off? What confidence could any of us have that, if we were to truly audit local government, we’d find an otherwise unblemished commitment...
