Original anthem protester Colin Kaepernick is demanding that Pennsylvania authorities release Mumia Abu-Jamal, who was convicted of killing Philadelphia police officer Daniel Faulkner in 1981.

Now it appears that the convict has added the former San Francisco 49ers, second-string quarterback, to his list of supporters. Kaepernick discussed Abu-Jamal during a video conference on Monday, according to NewsBusters.

President Trump’s daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, could become the next Trump on a ballot as she is reportedly considering a 2022 Senate run in her home state of North Carolina, according to a New York Times report on Thursday.

While explained to her Twitter followers why she wears a mask, left-wing actress Rosanna Arquette accused President Donald Trump of using the coronavirus “as a weapon of mass destruction.” In her latest screed, Rosanna Arquette claimed that she wears a mask because she cares about people — even those with whom she disagrees politically — but then insisted that Trump is akin to a mass murderer. “I wear a mask to protect others from possibly getting covid (if I’ve been exposed and don’t know it) even to protect people I don’t agree with on any level politically. covid is killing...

President-elect Joe Biden said he would not seek to order a nation-wide shutdown even as coronavirus infections spread nationwide and deaths hit 250,000. 'Everybody asks that question every single time,' Biden said, flashing some annoyance when asked if he would order businesses around the country to close as the pandemic raged. He referenced his own earlier comments on the subject, and said: 'The answer was I would follow the science. I am not going to shutdown the economy, period.'

Two investigations into Donald Trump’s taxes are now honing in on tax write-offs on consulting fees made by the Trump Organization after the president's daughter Ivanka received about $748,000 in such payments. At the moment there are two separate New York state fraud investigations, one criminal and one civil, into Trump and his businesses.

LinkThe 2016 Presidential election results (remember them?) were a vindication of four people: First, the incomparable Pat Buchanan, who ran for the presidency three times on an America First platform, championing the ideas that ultimately propelled the Trump campaign. Buchanan was a prophet—a man of foresight, courage, and vision who loved his people and delivered a warning that went unheeded. Trump had the benefit of running in light of the damage and wreckage that Buchanan predicted. Second, Samuel Francis, editor, columnist and essayist who long predicted the rise of “Middle American Radicals”, a phalanx of dispossessed white working-class voters yearning...

Bush’s administration,...
