A nut with a flamethrower hopped on top of an MTA bus and torched the air above as onlookers filmed and cheered — sparking outrage at the MTA and among police unions who say the bizarre display is the latest sign of urban decay. The wild incident unfolded around 5:30 p.m. Nov. 8 on Putnam Avenue at the intersection with Franklin Avenue in Bed-Stuy, the MTA confirmed. Videos posted to social media show an unknown man on top of an ice cream truck before leaping to the roof of the B26 bus that had stopped at the intersection.

Was Uncle Ted a Russian Spy?“There is no place where espionage is not used. Offer the enemy bait to lure him.” — Sun TzuSexual predators, like spies, are masters of deception and deceit. Both operate in secrecy, perpetuate a cover story, manipulate their victims through lies, and maintain a facade of respectability. Often, sexual predators become prime and easy targets for espionage since they are so vulnerable to blackmail. Prominent sexual predators can become prominent spies. Spies trade in secret information and influence peddling—the more prominent the asset, the more valuable the information.A well-worn espionage tactic is the dead drop,...

Acting Defense Secretary Chris Miller on Tuesday announced a U.S. troop drawdown to 2,500 in both Afghanistan and Iraq, consistent with President Trump’s promises to bring U.S. troops home and his goal to end the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. “I am formally announcing that we will implement President Trump’s orders to continue our repositioning of forces from those two countries,” Miller said. “By January 15th, 2021, our forces, their size in Afghanistan, will be 2,500 troops. Our force size in Iraq will also be 2,500 by that same date.”

Like the rest of the guns on this list, it has polymer frame and steel slide, a large internal magazine (seventeen rounds) and a striker-fired operating system.The 9mm Luger, invented before the Great War, is one of the longest-serving gun calibers in history. Introduced in 1901, it has served in virtually every conflict since then up until today. From World War I’s German army to the British army...

Explanation: What's creating these long glowing streaks in the sky? No one is sure. Known as Strong Thermal Emission Velocity Enhancements (STEVEs), these luminous light-purple sky ribbons may resemble regular auroras, but recent research reveals significant differences. A STEVE's great length and unusual colors, when measured precisely, indicate that it may be related to a subauroral ion drift (SAID), a supersonic river of hot atmospheric ions thought previously to be invisible. Some STEVEs are now also thought to be accompanied by green picket fence structures, a series of sky slats that can appear outside of the main auroral oval that...

Under oath, Zuckerberg admits Facebook DOES have “tools” to track its users across the internet, across platforms, across accounts - all without user knowledge. I ask how many times this tool has been used domestically against Americans. Zuck won’t say https://twitter.com/HawleyMO/status/1328763921013018626

Georgia Senate hopeful Rev. Raphael Warnock is facing scrutiny over a 2016 sermon in which he called on the US to “repent for its worship of whiteness” over the success of President Trump’s candidacy. Video of the sermon, delivered in October 2016 at Emory University, re-emerged over the weekend, as the special Senate race between Warnock and Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R-Ga.) heats up. In the sermon, titled “How Towers Tumble,” Warnock discussed Genesis 11:4, in which humans want to construct a tower reaching heaven over fear of being scattered across Earth. “Somebody lied and told them that uniformity, that sameness,...

A new proposal that allows business owners to defend their property during a violent riot is coming under fire from Democrats. This idea was floated as part of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’ recently proposed “Combatting Violence, Disorder and Looting and Law Enforcement Protection Act.” Under the proposed act, Florida’s “Stand Your Ground” statute would be amended. Under current law the “Stand Your Ground” statute states, “a person is justified in the use of deadly force and does not have a duty to retreat if … he or she reasonably believes that such force is necessary to prevent imminent death or...

WOW: Dominion's voting software "Allows staff to adjust tally based on review of scanned ballot images". The local technician is able to change the votes as they wish!

It is time to call on all like-minded Constitution-loving citizens of the contested states to begin the lobby effort of their legislators. Should the Supreme Court invalidate the results of those states due to fraud, then it falls on the legislators to send the slate of electors from their state. While we assume those states with Republican legislator majorities would send Trump electors I'm not so sure they will have the fortitude to do so. If all Freepers, and their families and friends start writing/calling/cajoling them now and letting them know they demand they vote for Trump electors or they...

It is with desperation that Trump-supporters — those of us who are faithful to the Constitution and expect our elected officials to be faithful to it as well — are distraught at the rumor that Durham is giving up on his investigation of the coup-plotters, who broke every law on the books in their attempt to derail the Trump presidency. How can this be? What has been shared with the public is more than enough to send many of the conspirators to prison for the rest of their lives, but as yet not one of them has even been charged...

If you’re a conservative, you are already aware of the fact that tech companies like Twitter, Facebook, and Google have drastically stepped up their censorship efforts over the past few years. The anti-conservative bias in the enforcement of their terms has become so evident that it seems like they aren’t even trying to conceal it anymore.

Omar denied impropriety but terminated financial ties to avoid perception of issues Rep. Ilhan Omar is reportedly severing financial ties with her husband's political consulting firm after previous payments totaling nearly $2.8 million ignited scrutiny and complaints to a campaign finance watchdog. In an email to supporters on Sunday, Omar, D-Minn., said her campaign was terminating its contract with E Street Group to “make sure that anybody who is supporting our campaign with their time or financial support feels there is no perceived issue with that support,” according to the Star Tribune, which first reported the news. The contract...

Well, this drip drip drip is showing there is a problem with how the counties collect and count votes and will need to be corrected sooner rather than later. However, will it be corrected soon enough to help the President retain the White House this year is still yet to be shown? President Trump on Monday hailed a “Big Victory” in the election results of a Clark County Commissioner race being thrown out by the election commission in Nevada’s largest county. The results do NOT include any other race in this district including the Presdital race but do show irregularities...

RUSH: Tom in Winona, Missouri. Tom, it’s great that you’re here. Welcome to the EIB Network. Hello. CALLER: Thanks, sir. Good afternoon. I wanted to say that I think that states with Republican-controlled legislatures should inform the president of the Senate that they’re withholding their certification of election results pending further development of the situation, because they have no intention of participating in a proceeding that’s going to ratify a fraud, and that if this election is gonna be a Third World farce, then it ought to be a complete one with 100% vote for the winner. RUSH: You know,...
