I am trying to set up a security camera for the front gate. I need to hard wire it because out net goes down often out here in the country. NO company I can find can reach over 70 ft hard wired and I need 700 ft. All I want is a camera with IR back to a monitor in the house. All aside fences are protected with a thick stand of blackberries. Does anyone have any ideas on how to do this?

Left-wing pop icon Cher pushed the conspiracy that President Donald Trump wants the U.S. Post Office to go bankrupt to stop Americans from voting by mail in NovemberÂ’s presidential election. Writing in her typically bizarre and incoherent manner, the 72-year-old signer argued that Trump, who long prided himself on the countryÂ’s economic successes before the impact of the coronavirus, wants to see businesses and states to declare bankruptcy to gain his own electoral advantage. A version of her tweet has been translated into legible English: DoesnÂ’t anyone care that people who have small businesses are going under because of him?...

On Tuesday afternoon, President Trump made a crucial move to protect the nation’s food supply chain. Faced with the closings of a number of food processing plants around the country – some of the largest of which, under the Smithfield name, are owned by Chinese interests – the President invoked the Defense Production Act to order food processing plants to remain up and running in order to ensure the nation’s supermarket shelves remain stocked with meats and other food.

Hillary Clinton endorsed Joe Biden’s bid for the White House on Tuesday, making her the latest party leader to throw her support behind the presumptive Democratic nominee.

The farcical New York Times dealt with the question of re-opening our coronavirus-devastated economy by stoking progressive alarmism about racial and economic “inequality.” The Times published a preposterous story headlined with a false equivalency, “Job or Health? Restarting the Economy Threatens to Worsen Economic Inequality.” Author Jim Tankersley grumbled in the sub-headline that “The coronavirus recession has exacerbated the racial and income divides in America.” Tankersley continued: “Lifting restrictions too soon will make them worse and leave workers with a bleak choice.” That logic taken out of the dustbin of progressive economics was plastered on the front page of The...

Up to a million and a half Armenians perished at the hands of Ottoman and Turkish military and paramilitary forces and through atrocities intentionally inflicted to eliminate the Armenian demographic presence in Turkey. In April 1915 the Ottoman government embarked upon the systematic decimation of its civilian Armenian population. The persecutions continued with varying intensity until 1923 when the Ottoman Empire ceased to exist and was replaced by the Republic of Turkey. The Armenian population of the Ottoman state was reported at about two million in 1915. An estimated one million had perished by 1918, while hundreds of thousands had...

Throughout the country, law enforcement has set free thousands of prisoners to "protect them" from COVID-19 inside jails and prisons. While innocents are locked in their homes hiding from "the invisible enemy," as President Trump calls it, county sheriffs, prison overseers, and governors have been busy freeing convicted criminals to stop them from getting the coronavirus. The rogue's gallery of convicts is a justice reformer's dream. Los Angeles Sheriff Alex Villanueva bragged he let prisoners out of his jail before he was even asked by the ACLU and other justice groups – this while he shut down gun stores so...

Arutz 7: Have Jews who support Biden looked at his record on Israel? A vote for Biden, unless he comes out clearly against UNSC Resolution 2334 which he supported in 2016, is a vote to expel Jews from Jerusalem's Jewish Quarter and the Western Wall. http://www.israelnationalnews.com/Articles/Article.aspx/25608

They’re all saying great things about how the Trump administration is saving their business during COVID-19. It’s being completely ignored by the media. It’s a hell of a lot better than the daily briefings.

More than 1 million cases of COVID-19 have been diagnosed in the U.S., marking a grim milestone in the country with the most reported coronavirus infections in the world, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University.

An MSNBC article about the White House's early response to coronavirus ignores all of the White House's early response.In a blistering attack on President Donald Trump, MSNBCÂ’s Steve Benen accused the White House of ignoring the threat of coronavirus throughout January even though intelligence officials were warning about it. ThereÂ’s just one problem; it is an absolute lie. Well, thereÂ’s another problem actually, itÂ’s a lie that progressive propagandists have convinced millions of Americans is true. One tell that gives away the false nature of the story is how little of it is actually about the coronavirus response. In fact,...

Many reporters, scientists, and public health officials are now saying it appears as if COVID-19 was more common than we thought in the United States because many patients had it without knowing it. A number of them are expressing surprise as if it is unexpected, new information. The news comes after numerous studies have begun providing hard data. Scientists are measuring antibodies in the blood of people never diagnosed with coronavirus. They are finding that a significant number silently battled coronavirus with few or no symptoms. However, this news should be of little surprise. Beginning as far back as February,...

...The disease spreads rapidly through the poor tenements, said the NYT. “Marisol Lima, 35, was eight days from her move-out date, in the tiny room she rented from a Colombian family, when she noticed that her downstairs neighbor was coughing. Within days, six of the seven people in the apartment were seriously ill, feverish, breathing with difficulty.” The housing and health situation similar to the scenes in New York during the 1840s and 1950s when hundreds of thousands of migrant Irish flooded into tenements wracked by disease and crime. In the United States, “we’re learning that the closer people live...

TUSCON, Ariz., April 28, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- In a letter to Gov. Doug Ducey of Arizona, the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS) presents a frequently updated table of studies that report results of treating COVID-19 with the anti-malaria drugs chloroquine (CQ) and hydroxychloroquine (HCQ, Plaquenil®).

The House of Vettii, one of the largest in Pompeii, was named for its two owners, Aulus Vettius Conviva and Aulus Vettius Restitutus. It contains a great many frescoes which have been rediscovered after Pompeii was destroyed in the volcanic explosion of 79 AD. I've also uploaded my Blooper reel made for IBM Research's 25th anniversary of Computer Science. Quick and dirty, done in the middle of the night, it's a humorous class in how to make a video. While my boss' video played on one TV, this one had an audience stacked 8 deep in front of another TV....

A NURSING home in New York begged officials to move their coronavirus patients to the Jacob Javits Convention Center or the USNS Comfort — but was denied. Donny Tuchman, the CEO of Cobble Hill Health Center in Brooklyn, sent an email to the city health officials on April 9 pleading for help for his residents, 55 of whom the city says have died from the virus. “We don’t have the ability to cohort right now based on staffing and we really want to protect our other patients,” Tuchman wrote in an email, according to the New York Post. In another...

Sweden has been an outlier during the coronavirus outbreak. The country has not joined many of its European neighbors in imposing strict limits on citizens' lives, and images of people heading to work on busy streets, or chatting at cafes and bars have raised eyebrows. Younger children have continued to go to school, although universities and schools for older students have switched to distance learning. Businesses — from hair salons to restaurants — have remained open, although people have been advised to work from home where possible. On April 7, the government introduced a bill allowing it to act quickly...
