"SINCE COVID-19 MANY AMERICANS FELL BEHIND IN ALL ASPECTS," reads the website copy. The button below this statement is not for a GoFundMe, or a petition for calling for rent relief. Instead, it is the following call to action, from a company called Civvl: "Be hired as eviction crew." During a time of great economic and general hardship, Civvl aims to be, essentially, Uber, but for evicting people. Seizing on a pandemic-driven nosedive in employment and huge uptick in number-of-people-who-can't-pay-their-rent, Civvl aims to make it easy for landlords to hire process servers and eviction agents as gig workers.

Creepy Uncle Quid Pro China Joe Biden read yet another TelePrompter speech to yet another imaginary audience on Monday. As usual, the Unfrozen Caveman Candidate’s performance was filled with pratfalls and falsehoods. Here are some of the highlights: Joe Biden doesn’t know how to put on his completely unnecessary mask. – Biden was back to virtue signaling with the mask again today, and for the second straight day, he wore the mask backwards: 2. Joe Biden doesn’t know which states are Red and which states are Blue. – During his TelePrompter speech, Biden read the following passage: EPIC: Jim Jordan...

There’s new reason to think the Democrats’ presidential candidate is being scripted through his — increasingly rare — interviews with the press. In a moment that’s thus far escaped public notice, Biden, speaking last week with Telemundo’s Jose Diaz-Balart, at one point halted mid-answer, appeared confused, and gestured to someone off camera, saying, “I lost that line.” Biden was in the middle of explaining how he would suspend deportations should he become president. Even more bizarre, Diaz-Balart then tells Biden — in a tone that doesn’t appear meant for broadcast, “Yeah, OK, that’s good, because we can talk you and...

In reality, the two are friends who have had some fun with each other on social media in the past. Two of the biggest sci-fi icons have finally come face-to-face. Mark Hamill and Patrick Stewart met for equal parts intense and silly moments in a new commercial for Uber Eats. The (socially distanced) spot opens with the Star Wars and Star Trek actors having an intense standoff over the pronunciation of "tomato," which leads Hamill to say, "Stewart, so it's come to this." To which Stewart replies, "Careful Hamill, daddy's not here to save you" (a solid Vader reference). An...

A high-octane PR video for China's airforce crashlanded on social media after users questioned why the world's second-largest military power spliced clips from Hollywood blockbusters "Transformers" and "The Rock" into its own propaganda material. The video, with 4.72 million views on Weibo and crafted by the Propaganda and Culture Centre of the PLA's Air Force, parades its medium- and long-range H-6 bomber. With a soaring score and high-altitude action shots, the chest-thumping video shows Chinese airmen launching an attack on an island base -- strongly resembling US facilities in Diego Garcia and Guam -- then returning from the successful sortie....

A New York City police officer has been arrested on charges he was secretly working as an agent of the Chinese government. Baimadajie Angwang, a community affairs liaison at the 111th Precinct in Queens and a member of the US Marine Corps Reserve, had for years been reporting back to “handlers” in the People’s Republic of China (PRC), according to a criminal complaint filed at a New York federal court. Mr Angwang, 33, an ethnic Tibetan native of China and a naturalised American citizen, had allegedly been reporting back on the activities of fellow Tibetans in the US since 2014.

In the summer of 2008, the Obama-Biden presidential campaign ran the most-aired ad of the decade, “Unravel,” alleging that Sen. John McCain’s policy proposals would dismantle employer-based health coverage. Twelve years later, that ad takes on an ironic tone for President Obama’s vice president. As I outline in a new report, Joe Biden’s health plan could pull apart the system by which most Americans receive insurance. The collapse would come as a result of two interlinked provisions in the Democrat’s plan. Mr. Biden proposes to increase subsidies for ObamaCare exchange plans—decreasing the percentage of income households must pay in out-of-pocket...

"NBC’s Sunday Night Football showcased two of the best franchises in the NFL over the last decade, despite that, the ratings crashed by nearly 20 percent."

For the first time in his life, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo took a backseat to his brother when a professional bodybuilder accused Chris Primetime Cuomo of lifting fake weights. Weightgate, if you will. Just days later, big brother Cuomo returned to the news. Clever New Yorkers let the celebrity governor have it. Unfortunately, Cuomo had to share the spotlight with the unbearable mayor known as Bill de Blasio. Really interesting font. Fancy, but legible. According to the New York Post, the mural was a hit. “A few partygoers got the idea to paint in huge [letters, using] yellow paint...

WASHINGTON — Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Monday vowed to hold a vote on President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee before the November election following the passing of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. “President Trump’s nominee for this vacancy will receive a vote on the floor of the Senate,” McConnell (R-Ky.) said on the floor of the chamber, warning of a cultural war over filling the influential role. McConnell says there is “overwhelming precedent” for the Senate to act quickly on a nomination. “The Senate has more than sufficient time to process a nomination. History and process make that perfectly clear,”...

Republicans are preparing to release a report in a matter of days on their investigation focused on former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden, a move they hope will put fresh scrutiny on the Democratic nominee just weeks from the election. The controversial probe, spearheaded by Sens. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) and Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), is focused broadly on Obama-era policy and Hunter Biden's work for Ukrainian gas company Burisma Holdings. The GOP report, which is set to be released this week, is expected to argue that Hunter Biden’s work impacted Obama-era Ukraine policy and created a conflict...

HARRISBURG, Pennsylvania -- Gov. Tom Wolf will go through with a veto of a bill that would give school districts the sole ability to make decisions on sports, including whether and how many spectators to allow, he said Monday. The Wolf administration's gathering limits of 25 people indoors and 250 people outdoors apply to youth sports, but legislation that cleared the state House and Senate would empower schools to make their own rules about the number of spectators permitted at games. Some families have chafed at the statewide limits, saying attendance could safely be expanded while still allowing for adequate...

The Drudge Report’s apparent decision to cater content to a political demographic that has zero overlap with his audience of two decades hasn’t been going well for the site. While I’m surprised he’s not down 100%, Drudge has hemorrhaged nearly half of his audience over the past year. --snip-- Comscore data also put Drudge’s viewers at 1.488 million unique visitors in July, down 38% from July of 2019. About a year ago, in August 2019, the site was posting “well over 100 million” readers. The site’s recent numbers mark a steep 40% decline year over year. They also mark Drudge’s...

A jaw-dropping new economic report from Axios reinforced a concept the liberal media never seem to get: never underestimate America or President Donald Trump’s economy. In a story headlined, “Wall Street: Recession is over,” Axios reported that U.S. economic activity is “going to grow more sharply in the third quarter of this year than during any other quarter in history.” Here’s the kicker: “The recession is over, according to Wall Street, with current forecasts showing sustained economic growth through 2021 and beyond.” More importantly, according to Axios, “the continued prevalence of the pandemic doesn't seem to have crimped economic growth.”

I have been getting Emails and Text messages from all sorts of non-governmental websites, concerning voter registration and doing voter registration online. I am already registered, so that is not the point. The points are (a) are these non-governmental voter registration websites legit, (b) can they register voters into the states' voter registration systems, (c) how do they verify (document) residence of the voter, and (d) isn't this just another avenue for the Dims voter fraud????

The Louisville Metro Police Department has canceled all off days and vacation requests until further notice as the agency prepares for Attorney General Daniel Cameron's announcement in the Breonna Taylor case. Sgt. Lamont Washington announced the decision in a Monday afternoon news release. "The public may also see barriers being staged around downtown, which is another part of our preparations," Washington said in the statement.

Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii) has put forward a bipartisan bill aiming to improve the security of vote-by-mail. It proposes to incentivize states to ban ballot harvesting.

The SCOTUS Judiciary Committee hearings should be virtual. On Zoom. You know, for everyone's safety. Social distancing and all that. DEMs can't bring protesters into the room. No room full of hostile media. Harris and Feinstein can't grandstand on Zoom. The hearings will be so boring on Zoom, no one will watch. Haha. You know for everyone's safety with Covid-19.
