In a bid to ensure that the FBI continues to cover up the Biden scandal, Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-NY) warned Director Christopher Wray "to resist the temptation to take the case too seriously. Your Agency has been loyally sitting on Hunter Biden's laptop since last December. We appreciate that. Now this Bobulinski character has turned over cell phones he says he used to communicate with the Biden family and that these phones will verify his testimony contradicting Vice-President Biden's profession of ignorance and non-involvement in his son's business activities. We are at a critical juncture in this year's...

A woman supporting Joe Biden was blasted on social media for saying she forced her dying father to vote for him. A video posted to Twitter on Sunday shows the woman holding up cards explaining how she got her father, apparently a lifelong Republican, to change his mind. “My 55-year-old conservative dad has never voted Democrat in his LIFE,” the cards said. “He’s dying of Aplastic Anemia. We’ve had some intense exchanges about him voting for Trump this year, which has been painful, since we’ll almost certainly lose him in the next few weeks/months.”

Throughout much of June 2020, far-left activists exercised control over a part of Seattle that came to be known as the "Capitol Hill Organized Protest Zone" (CHOP). City officials allowed the activists to control the 16-block area in the wake of clashes with police arising from protests triggered by the brutal killing of George Floyd by police officers in Minnesota. During the three week period of CHOP "autonomy" (which was finally ended when the mayor ordered police to clear the area on July 1), there was extensive violence and property damage in the area. Property owners have sued the city,...

Persistent use of methamphetamine is the single biggest risk factor for HIV seroconversion among gay and bisexual men, according to a new study published in the Journal of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndromes. Using subjects from across the U.S., including Puerto Rico and Guam, researchers found that over 12 months of follow-up, 14% of study participants reported using meth, and 2.5% tested positive for HIV (115 new infections). More than a third of study participants (36%) seroconverting for HIV were persistent users of methamphetamine.

China launched a new group of triplet satellites for the Chuangxin-5 (CX-5) constellation on Monday. Launched under the name Yaogan Weixing-30 Group-7, the three satellites were orbited by a Chang Zheng-2C launch vehicle from the LC-3 Launch Complex of the Xichang Satellite Launch Center, with launch taking place at 15:19 UTC. Like the previous missions on the series, this mission is once again classed as involving new remote sensing birds that will be used to “conduct electromagnetic probes and other experiments.” As was the case in previous launches of the Yaogan Weixing series, analysts believe this class of satellites is...

@seanmdav BREAKING: Tucker Carlson's show tomorrow night will be devoted entirely to an interview with Tony Bobulinksi, the Biden family insider-turned-whistleblower whose explosive e-mails show that Joe Biden himself was deeply involved in Hunter's foreign business dealings.

After President Donald Trump nominated Judge Amy Coney Barrett, who currently sits on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court, I said I believed Judge Barrett would make an excellent justice that would serve our country and Constitution well. Since then, I’ve continued to be truly impressed by Judge Barrett, and after meeting with her this past week, I am proud to reaffirm my position and give her my full support. During our meeting, I enjoyed hearing from her directly about her judicial philosophy — a careful, impartial, and grounded approach...

A passage in The Washington Post shows that media are determined to call the emails on Hunter Biden’s alleged laptop Russian disinformation – even though they know that they’re not – Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) said Monday. Jordan, the ranking Republican on the House Judiciary Committee, tweeted: “The media knows the Hunter Biden emails are real. “They know it’s not Russian disinformation. “But they continue to cover up the scandal” As evidence, Rep. Jordan posted a quote from a “Perspectives” piece by Author Thomas Rid in the October 25, 2020 edition of The Washington Post: “We must treat the Hunter...

Recently rapper (and now actor) 50 Cent (Curtis Jackson) and actor/rapper Ice Cube (O’Shea Jackson) endorsed Donald Trump as having done the most for the black community. 50 Cent was immediately attacked by a white woman, Chelsea Handler, for not being black and forgetting his own skin color. This comes after Kanye West long ago wore a MAGA hat and supported Trump to interviewers. This year, of course, Kanye is making a “run” at the presidency. (To call it half-hearted would leave one wondering what one-eighth-hearted looks like).Whether or not Kanye was ever serious about this year (unlikely) or 2024...

Cyclotech is planning an 80-kg electric demonstrator for test flights later this year using its unique "Cyclogyro" propulsion system Cyclotech ========================================================================== Austrian company Cyclotech is planning to begin flight-testing an 80-kg (176-lb) demonstrator of its unique electric VTOL airframe, which uses Voith-Schneider propellers instead of rotors for exceptional agility and control in the air. The prop design, which looks a bit like it belongs on the back of an 1850s paddle steamer, was patented nearly 100 years ago but hasn't made it into a production aircraft yet. Each prop is a spinning cylinder whose walls are formed by a number...

The New American Millennial Right East Coast and West Coast Straussians do battle for the soul of Trump’s America, or part of it BY PARK MACDOUGALD FEBRUARY 04, 2020 For the last half-century, the GOP has been the party of capitalism—of Wall Street, Walmart, and Ronald Reagan’s famous quip that “government is the problem.” But since the Clinton years, if not earlier, the Republicans have been bleeding younger, more affluent, college-educated voters to the Democrats, while coming to rely more and more on non-college-educated whites to win elections. Thus, the sometimes comical attempts by wealthy patrician Republican politicians to perform...

Jerry Jeff Walker, a country singer-songwriter known for penning the hit "Mr. Bojangles," has died. He was 78. Walker's death was confirmed to Fox News on Saturday by his former publicist, John T. Davis. Davis said Walker died Friday after a battle with throat cancer and related ailments "for several years."

Lehigh Valley International AirportAllentown, Pennsylvania10:53 A.M. EDTTHE PRESIDENT: So we have a big event. We have three of them today, but this will be a — a group of people that we know very well from this area. It’s amazing — amazing attendance and amazing poll numbers. We have poll numbers that I’ll be talking about up there that have been very extraordinary.Q Can you win the election without Pennsylvania?THE PRESIDENT: I don’t know. I think we’re leading in Pennsylvania. I think we’ll win Pennsylvania, so I don’t think I have to worry about that. I think we’re going to...

President Trump’s new TV ad depicting Joe Biden as a zombie that “craves human flesh” is the best thing ever. “Here’s how you can spot a zombie…Look for someone who exhibits aggressive behavior, craves human flesh and utters incoherent moans and groans.” Video of Biden creeping on Senator Chris Coons’ daughter flashes as the narrator accuses Biden of “craving human flesh.” “Only you can keep a zombie out of the White House.”

Hunter Biden rented a $2,300-per-night luxury Los Angeles mansion for a blowout party after storming out on his new wife and baby following a 'blazing row', sources tell DailyMail.com. Last month the recovering drug addict vanished for days from his Hollywood Hills home and allegedly broke his sober streak – only returning after days of partying, a source close to the couple claims.

On February 28, the idea of locking down and smashing economies and human rights the world over was unthinkable to most of us but lustily imagined by intellectuals hoping to conduct a new social/political experiment. On that day, New York Times reporter Donald McNeil released a shocking article: To Take On the Coronavirus, Go Medieval on It. He was serious. Most all governments – with few exceptions like Sweden and the Dakotas in the US – did exactly that. The result has been shocking. I’ve previously called it the new totalitarianism. Another way to look at this, however, is that...

For decades, America led the world in humanitarian policies by creating a sanctuary for the oppressed, admitting more refugees annually than all other countries combined. That reputation eroded during Donald Trump’s presidency as he cut the number of refugees allowed in by more than 80%, and Canada replaced the U.S. as No. 1 for resettling people fleeing war and persecution. Trump has arguably changed the immigration system more than any U.S. president, thrilling supporters with an “America first” message and infuriating critics who call his signature domestic issue insular, xenophobic and even racist. The pain from a dismantling of the...

The Sergeants Benevolent Association has accused NYPD top brass of a “double standard” after an officer was suspended for blaring “Trump 2020” over a patrol-car loudspeaker – while his boss was praised for taking a knee with Black Lives Matter protesters. “The NYPD has a history of officers making political & outside the norm statements & ignoring it,” the SBA tweeted Sunday amid the investigation into Saturday’s incident in Brooklyn. “Suspending this officer is unnecessary & way over the top. Chief of Department took a knee with protestors no disciplinary action was issued,” the SBA said of Terence Monahan.

LITITZ, Pa. - President Donald Trump embarked Monday on a final-week charge through nearly a dozen states ahead of the election, overlooking a surge of coronavirus cases in the U.S. and a fresh outbreak in his own White House. His Democratic rival, Joe Biden, is holding far fewer events in an effort to demonstrate that he’s taking the worsening pandemic seriously. The final days of the campaign are crystalizing the starkly different approaches Trump and Biden have taken to address the worst public health crisis in a century - with risks for each candidate. “It’s a choice between a Trump...
