My very limited technical skills don't enable me to insert here the photo appearing at the URL linked above. The page is a photo of several dozen observant Jews praying the afternoon service on the White House lawn this afternoon after the signing of the Abraham Accords at the White House. If people were rational (I realize that's a mighty big "if") such images would be more than enough to prove that President Trump is not in any way an anti-Semite, and that the accusation that he is comes from a very dark and false place in the minds of...

Do you support or oppose this woman's use of a gun? * I support this woman's use of a gun. * I oppose this woman's use of a gun. An Oregon woman found an arsonist on her property over the weekend. The woman held him by gunpoint on the ground until police arrived. She told the man if her husband would have caught him he’d be dead. The mainstream media ignored this citizen’s arrest. It goes against their global warming and anti-gun narrative. Video: https://twitter.com/zerosum24/status/1305214840798171137

Xtreme Manufacturing is now facing a $3,000 fine for violating Sisolak’s Covid order banning large groups of 50 people or more. This is tyranny and political retaliation.

LGBTQ rights advocates are pushing back against the Texas Board of Education's recent rejection of a proposed curriculum to teach middle school and high school students about gender identity and sexual orientation. The Republican-dominated board rejected a batch of proposed curriculum changes last week, striking down mandates to require students to learn about the differences between gender identity and sexual orientation as well as a proposal to teach middle schoolers about consent. The board is expected to take a final vote on any changes in the sexual education curriculum in November. Some proponents of the changes called the rejection "especially...

This has been a year of considerable unrest across the United States. The ongoing threat of the COVID-19 pandemic, an unprecedented shutdown of economic activity, and widespread protests have created chaos for months on end, even more so when considering this is all happening during an election year. Perhaps no place in the country, however, has been turned upside down in quite the same fashion as Los Angeles. Throughout the year, Los Angeles has felt every crisis more than any other city. Over the summer, COVID-19 tests seemed impossible to come by in the city, while data from the Centers...

Under the state’s revised policies, incoming travelers from California, Hawaii, Maryland, Minnesota, Nevada, and Ohio will no longer be required to quarantine for two weeks before entering the tri-state area. The Northern Mariana Islands have also been removed, while Puerto Rico has been added back to the list. "When other states and territories make progress fighting COVID-19, that's good for New York and while I am glad to see areas removed from the travel advisory list, it still remains far too long," Governor Cuomo said. "Make no mistake: We must continue to be New York Tough and stay smart. Wearing...

VIDEO I know Joe Biden has cognitive ability issues but perhaps someone should tell him that the LIE he has been repeating, and repeated again today in Tampa, about what President Donald Trump supposedly called veterans has been DISCREDITED. Saagar Enjeti of The Hill Rising, hardly a friend of Trump, reveals just how fake the Atlantic magazine article smear was. Since Biden is pretty much not in the sentinent being loop any longer, it is a crime that his DNC handlers have not given him a heads up that he is constantly repeating a DISCREDITED lie.

A Baytown police officer was indicted Monday in connection with the fatal shooting of Pamela Turner last year. A Harris County grand jury indicted Officer Juan Delacruz on a charge of first-degree aggravated assault by a public servant in the May 13, 2019, shooting. According to investigators, Delacruz encountered Turner, 44, while on patrol and knew that she had warrants out for her arrest. Turner resisted arrest and was able to get hold of Delacruz’s Taser and shock him with it, investigators said. Investigators said that was when Delacruz fired, killing Turner. Turner’s family said she suffered from mental illness....

The Orlando Police Department has a new training tool where 65% of its simulator scenarios require de-escalation. The VirTra V-300 4K simulator surrounds trainees 300 degrees with 5 giant screens and more than 300 scenarios with an average of 85 different outcomes and paths towards resolution. The Orlando Citizen Police Review Board was recently invited to test out the different scenarios, and witness first-hand what officers truly face when they must make the decision to use force or not. Board member Tom Keen had the opportunity to try three different scenarios. In one scenario, he attempted to calm a virtual...

The story is at first aggravating to hear but the more we learn about it the better the outlook for this country becomes. A pair of high school football players in Morrow, Ohio, ran out on the field before a game holding a Blue Lives Matter and Red Lives Matter flag. They were later suspended over the display, for introducing a political message to the game. It was a sign of pregame social signaling, and as we have come to learn there is a glaring set of double standards on such issues.  For years we have been lectured that Colin...

South Park is going to tackle the COVID-19 pandemic in a big way. Comedy Central announced Tuesday a one-hour special episode of the iconic animated series devoted to the coronavirus crisis. A trailer for the episode shows Randy Marsh announcing some sort of "pandemic special" attempting to cash in on the crisis, Cartman worrying about authorities trying to make him return to school, Kyle fretting about social distancing and a scene with the kids in a classroom encased in protective cubicles with a police detective as their new teacher. The official description: "Randy comes to terms with his role in...

by Ron Kersten As we reported this morning, two Ohio high school football players were suspended from the team after they ran onto the field on 9-11 with thin blue line and thin red line flags in support of the anniversary, and the heroes lost that day at the WTC. The thin blue line flag represents support for police officers and the thin red line flag represents support for fire fighters. The boys were honoring 9-11 victims and their fathers who work as a police officer and a fire fighter. What thanks did they get for this awesome show...

Joe Biden arrived in Tampa, Florida Tuesday afternoon for his first visit to the Sunshine State in more than 6 months. 77-year-old Biden confused Iran and Iraq as he read from his notes during a veterans roundtable event.

AUSTIN, Texas — Chick-fil-A said Monday that it no longer plans to open a restaurant in the San Antonio airport, even though the Texas city relented after more than a year of legal wrangling that began when some city leaders opposed the fast-food chain getting a spot, citing donations made by company owners to anti-LGBTQ causes. “We are always evaluating potential new locations in the hopes of serving existing and new customers great food with remarkable service.” Chick-fil-A said in a statement. “While we are not pursuing a location in the San Antonio airport at this time, we are grateful...

The mystery of the unidentified flying object spotted whizzing through the air above the Queen Mary 2 cruise ship in Torquay last week has been solved. Chief investigator for World UFO Photos, John Mooner, who witnessed the UFO said: ''The object flew down towards the ship and then stopped and hovered there for a couple of second before it just seemed to disappear into thin air. “I was really stumped by this as it was far too large to be a drone and there was no sound at all. “What the hell did I witness? And where did it go?”...

The Oasis star moaned that "there’s too many ***** liberties being taken away from us now".Noel Gallagher is refusing to wear a mask during the Covid-19 pandemic because it is a violation of his liberty, he has told a popular podcast. The Oasis guitarist told the Matt Morgan podcast for Radio X that masks are “pointless” and that he chooses not to wear one. He said: “It’s not a law. There’s too many ** liberties being taken away from us now… I choose not to wear one. If I get the virus it’s on me, it’s not on anyone else…...

Just another day in San Francisco, with mentally challenged drug addicts being among the few using the streets and parks of the Paris of the Pacific. Jaded city residents have become so accustomed to strange human sights they hardly shrug, but it's become so bad that the mostly liberal inhabitants are starting to turn on their progressive leaders. @SFGotham, an independent researcher who exposes the city's crime, corruption and policy failures on Twitter, saw something this week that made the crusader look twice. "Junkie on a skateboard carrying a mattress while smoking meth? Just another day in SF!" he mused...

CBS might have a partial interest in the Drudge Report. I don’t know this for a fact but perhaps CBS can let us know.— Mark R. Levin (@marklevinshow) September 14, 2020
