PUEBLO, Colo.—It’s a common story across America: A city loses its main employer, usually a manufacturing company with well-paying, blue-collar jobs (that often go to China). The city’s economy crumbles, and those who can move out, do. Decades later, and looking peeling-paint tired, the city hasn’t managed to recover, but drugs have found a permanent home. In Pueblo, Colorado, the manufacturer was a steel plant beleaguered by a market crash in the 1980s and worker strikes in the 1990s. And one drug was given a red-carpet welcome. For years, Pueblo has been looking for industries to revive its economy, and...

Dr. Brian Tyson’s First-Person Account of COVID-19 This is a first-person account by Dr Brian Tyson about his unique experience with COVID-19. You are most welcome also to watch our extensive interview with Dr Brian Tyson, if you haven’t do so yet. We heard about a virus coming out of Wuhan, China, in January of 2020.  I had a feeling it was going to makes its way to the US due to all the international travel.  I told my wife Fabiola; we need to get prepared, and we are going to need a plan.  It was long before we started...

Hunter Biden isn’t the ring-leader. Neither are James or Frank Biden. Nor the son in law. Joe Biden is one who orchestrated this international corruption scheme. He is the head of the snake. This is what the media is trying to conceal from us #BidenCrimeSyndicate #FakeNewsMedia— Dinesh D'Souza (@DineshDSouza) October 27, 2020 I can't emphasize enough how damaging this bombshell interview is for Joe Biden.https://t.co/c7VtaTnhx7— Dinesh D'Souza (@DineshDSouza) October 28, 2020 So the Biden family bag men collected the money, and then Joe got his share from them. This enabled him to say at the debate that he never...

We need to stop all this censorship ASAP!!!

More important is that Trump win. One week from now.

With Hurricane Zeta expected to hit the Florida Panhandle on Wednesday, three counties in this conservative region will shorten their early voting hours, a move that could hurt the GOP. Escambia, Okaloosa, and Santa Rosa counties are all Republican strongholds, Politico reports, and are expectedly to easily go for Trump. But Florida is a swing state, and Republicans have been counting on getting more voters to cast their ballots early in person, as more Democrats are returning their ballots by mail. In Escambia and Santa Rosa counties, early voting hours are normally from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., but because...

Michael Savage @ASavageNation EVEN LEFT WING CALIFORNIA REJECTING USE RACE, GENDER IN HIRING! poll finds that Proposition 16, which would allow race, gender and ethnicity to factor into public employment, education and contracting decisions, is underwater by 10 percentage points and seemingly unlikely

A poll released Tuesday shows Republican Darrell Issa leading Democrat Ammar Campa-Najjar by double digits in the race for the 50th Congressional District. Other polls conducted in September, July, and May had Issa and Campa-Najjar in statistical ties to represent most of East County, parts of inland North San Diego County and a small southern piece of Riverside County. The new San Diego Union-Tribune/10 News poll of 538 likely voters shows Issa, a former congressman, leading with 51 percent of the vote of those polled, far ahead of business owner and San Diego State University lecturer Campa-Najjar, who polled at...

If you live in California, Thanksgiving is going to look a lot different this year, and be a lot less fun. The California Department of Public Health released its new guidelines for Turkey Day, and each rule is more insane than the last. See below for some of the more outlandish guidelines that Californians will have to comply with next month as they try to kick off the holiday season. All gatherings must include no more than three households, including hosts and guests, and must be held outdoors, lasting for two hours of less. "The longer the duration [of the...

MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace isn’t having any of conservative columnist Peggy Noonan’s sexist criticism of Democratic vice presidential candidate Kamala Harris. In a controversial article published over the weekend, The Wall Street Journal opinion writer rubbished the senator from California, who could become the first Black woman to be vice president, for being “giddy” on the campaign trail. Noonan wrote: “She’s dancing with drum lines and beginning rallies with “Wassup, Florida!” She’s throwing her head back and laughing a loud laugh, especially when nobody said anything funny. She’s the younger candidate going for the younger vote, and she’s going for a...

What do you want first — the good news or the (possible) bad news? We have a mixed bag today on the vaccine front of the COVID-19 pandemic, which are even mixed within themselves. Let’s start with the good news from Pfizer, whose Phase 3 trials of their two-stage vaccine appear to be approaching a successful conclusion. Their third-quarter report suggests they could apply for an FDA emergency-use authorization as soon as next month: It said nearly 36,000 of the volunteers have already received the second of its two-dose Covid-19 vaccine. Pfizer has as been working alongside German drugmaker...

Tom Bevan of RCP was on Laura Ingraham and says Biden increasing lead in Michigan.

President Donald Trump on Tuesday directed his supporters’ attention to an interview of Hunter Biden’s former business partner conducted by Fox News host Tucker Carlson. “Moments ago we learned about the other reason Joe Biden has been hiding in his basement,” Trump said at a rally in Omaha, Nebraska. Trump spoke about the story at a campaign rally that began about six minutes after Carlson’s interview with Tony Bobulinski concluded. The president described the new information revealed by Bobulinski as “shocking, disturbing, and explosive.” “The business partner made clear that Biden’s denial of involvement in his son’s corrupt business dealings...

State officials across the country are preparing for the worst in case violence breaks out on or after Election Day. There is a role that the National Guard can play, as well as local police. Different states and localities have laws that must be taken into consideration as preparations are being made. For instance, the National Guard doesn’t want to get involved in providing security at polling places. That role is filled by poll workers and local police departments. The National Guard can provide a role in cybersecurity, assisting state officials by trying to prevent foreign governments and others...

An increasing amount of Republican senators say Attorney General William Barr should appoint a special counsel to investigate allegations surrounding business dealings by Hunter Biden. In the final weeks of the presidential election, Republicans have increasingly focused on Biden, son of Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden. Rudy Giuliani, President Trump's personal attorney, claims to have obtained Hunter Biden’s private emails, photos, and texts from a Delaware computer repairman and given them to the New York Post. Tony Bobulinski, an ex-business partner of Hunter Biden, revealed at a press conference Thursday night in Nashville, immediately before Joe Biden debated Trump, that...

The County Election Board for Luzerne County, Pennsylvania has filed a motion today with the Supreme Court for Justice Barrett to be recused from participating in the case. The basis of the motion is one that has been written and talked about by pundits over the last two weeks — whether President Trump’s nomination of Judge Barrett and public statements of support which mentioned pending election law cases have created a circumstance where a prior decision of the Supreme Court, Caperton v. A.T. Massey Coal Co., which has never been overruled, would find a “due process” violation in the rights...

Why haven't more people in Japan died from Covid-19? It is a macabre question that has spawned dozens of theories, from Japanese manners to claims that the Japanese have superior immunity. Japan does not have the lowest death rate for Covid-19 - in the region, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Vietnam can all boast lower mortality. But in the early part of 2020, Japan saw fewer deaths than average. This is despite the fact that in April, Tokyo saw about 1,000 "excess deaths' - perhaps due to Covid. Yet, for the year as a whole, it is possible that...
