Allum Bokhari, the senior technology correspondent at Breitbart News, has performed an extraordinarily valuable service by giving us his new book #Deleted: Big Tech’s Battle to Erase the Trump Movement and Steal the Election. While the social media giants’ efforts to suppress all dissent from their far-left, anti-American agenda have been going on for years, few people are aware of the full depth and breadth of this sinister initiative, or of how it is much more than just a bias toward the left, but a carefully planned and coordinated endeavor that, if left unchecked, will do nothing less than relegate...

Black Lives Matter and Antifa have a pattern: Whenever they don’t like something, they violently take to the streets to show their displeasure. Significantly, their protests are not localized. In cities across America, residents are being trained that, if they cross the mob, the mob will destroy them. Over five years, with accelerated speed in 2020, state and urban governments across America, by embracing the mob’s “defund the police” policy, have ceded their streets to the mob. This cannot continue. It is destabilizing America, especially now that the mob makes implicit and explicit threats of future violence if Americans don’t...

Illinois taxpayers, who already have one of the nation’s highest total tax burdens, could see a 20% income tax hike if voters don’t approve of Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s “fair tax” constitutional amendment in November. Lt. Gov. Juliana Stratton said on a conference call Thursday that the state would have to raise income taxes by $4 billion, more than the income tax amendment would have brought in before the Pritzker administration’s shutdown orders ground the state’s economy to a crawl amid the pandemic. “To adequately address the budget crisis under our current tax system, lawmakers will be forced to consider raising...

A former iron workers union president was sentenced to 42 months in prison Wednesday for ordering and participating in the violent extortion of non-union workers at a construction site. Jeffrey Veach, 57, the former president of an Indiana chapter of the International Association of Bridge, Structural, Ornamental, and Reinforcing Iron Workers (BSOIW) was charged for his role in the incident in 2018, according to the Department of Justice (DOJ). He and co-defendant Thomas Williamson, a business agent for BSOIW, each pleaded guilty in January to one count of extortion conspiracy, the DOJ said. “Under the pretext of serving their union,...

Gov. Phil Murphy has forced us into voting by mail this year, and ordered that there will be limited polling locations on election day with NO voting machines, except for voters with disabilities. Everyone else who goes to the polls on Election Day will have to vote on a paper provisional ballot, that is not counted until AFTER all the mail-in ballots are counted. We must send a message to Governor Murphy that no matter how he changes the rules to help the Democrats, we will win! How do we accomplish this task? Vote early for the Republican Team, COLUMN...

It’s just the flu, bro. Yesterday we showed that fictitious diseases could easily kill over one million Americans. Through the same pattern of extensive testing and a small (but not zero) false positive rate we will continue to get large numbers of cases. These “cases” will die along the same patterns as humans generally die - old and sick people will make up most of these “victims”. Approximately 1% of any population dies each year. That means if you have one hundred fake Coronavirus cases about one of these people will die because they were going to die anyway. Push...

Three people were wounded, two of them seriously, in a stabbing attack in the 11th arrondissement of Paris Friday afternoon. The attack is reported to have taken place near the former offices of the Charlie Hebdo...

The importance of college football to university education is vastly overrated. Rather than an integral part of the college experience, football means more student debt, another burden for taxpayers, and a compromised education for athletes. The COVID-19 pandemic is prompting universities to develop costly new teaching methodologies, require expensive campus protection strategies, and has caused severe revenue declines due to reduced enrollment. Consequently, universities expect to lose millions of dollars, according to the Chronicle of Higher Education. Yet, surprisingly, no university administrators have canceled their high-cost, money-losing football programs to avoid academic cuts. Why do so many universities overlook the...

The obituary in Britain’s Guardian newspaper of the iconic liberal US Supreme Court justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who died last weekend, provoked outrage among a number of Jews. In the piece, Godfrey Hodgson wrote: “Ruth was brought up in a Conservative Jewish tradition and learned Hebrew as a child, but abandoned her religion because she was not allowed to join a minyan (a group of men) to mourn her mother’s death when she was 17.” He also wrote: [In 1993, President Bill] Clinton was anxious to make the supreme court more diverse, so Ginsburg’s Jewish religion, which she had given...

Associated Press reporters at the scene saw police flooding into the neighborhood in eastern Paris, near the Richard Lenoir subway station.

Video Coney Barrett facing criticism from Dems over her religion On 'Fox News @ Night,' panel debates the potential Supreme Court pick's popularity with religious conservatives.

President Donald Trump was greeted with boos and chants of "vote him out" as he attended the outdoor memorial service for Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, visiting her casket at the Supreme Court on Thursday morning. Those who were waiting in line for their own chance to honor the justice who died Friday chanted as the president stood with first lady Melania Trump, both wearing masks, near Ginsburg's casket. Ginsburg became a feminist icon for many American women, beginning her career as an advocate for women's rights and then ascending to the court, where she was a voice for the rights...

Two old cowboys, Will and Bud, sit'n on a fence telling stories and talking rodeo. Will turns to Bud and asks, "Do you think there's bull riding in Heaven?" Bud thinks about it for a minute and replies, "I dunno. But let's make a deal -- if I die first, I'll come back and tell you if there's bull riding in Heaven, and if you die first, you do the same." They shake on it and sadly, a few months later, poor Will passes on. Soon afterward, Bud sits in on the fence by himself and hears a voice whisper,...

Amy Coney Barrett, a front-runner for the open U.S. Supreme Court seat President Donald Trump is pushing to fill, is a favorite among religious conservatives. As a judge on the Chicago-based 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, Barrett, 48, has voted in favor of one of Trump's hardline immigration policies and shown support for expansive gun rights. Here are some of her most notable opinions. GUNS Barrett indicated support for gun rights in a March 2019 dissenting opinion. She was part of a three-judge panel that considered a challenge to a federal law that bars people convicted of felonies from...

A 54-year-old man in Massachusetts suffered cardiac arrest after consuming too much black licorice, a new case report from the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) says. The patient was in a fast-food restaurant when he gasped suddenly and lost consciousness, according to the case report. His whole body began to shake, but he remained unresponsive even after those movements stopped. First responders arrived about four minutes after the man lost consciousness and started doing CPR; they also shocked the patient’s heart four times and administered multiple medications, including naloxone, which is often used to treat opioid overdoses. The patient’s...

FBI Director Christopher Wray downplayed election fraud to the Senate Homeland Security Committee on Thursday.Wray said the bureau had “not seen, historically, any kind of coordinated national voter fraud effort in a major election, whether it’s by mail or otherwise.”Chris Wray conceded the FBI had seen local election fraud “from time to time.”“Certainly to change a federal election outcome by mounting that kind of fraud at scale would be a major challenge for an adversary,” Wray said.
