(Translation) Masks, gloves, and disinfectant-soap containers used for protection against the COVID-19 pandemic have begun to have an adverse effect on the environment. According to [the Puerto Rican newspaper] El Vocero, masks and gloves have been seen floating over bodies of water and reaching the shore. "We see them floating as if they were jellyfish. The problem is that, everywhere one goes, one has to have masks, gloves, etc. Even face shields have been spotted. If they're not picked up, they'll eventually make it to water. If not, they reach the coast through the wind and reach the middle (of...

Tucker Carlson has always been known for his hard-hitting monologues, sometimes stretching 20 minutes into his show. And while some hit closer to home than others, last night’s was so impactful that President Trump himself shared it. It involves an explosive video that was eventually deleted from social media by China, and it exposes perhaps the most dangerous threat America faces. If you watch the above clip, what you’ll see is a Beijing-based professor bragging about China’s ability to settle affairs with the United States in their favor. But it’s his admission that that’s only possible because the CCP has...

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) on Monday warned state lawmakers that they cannot appoint pro-Trump presidential electors. Kemp said while speaking at the Biennial Institute for Georgia Legislators that legislators appointing their own electors was “not an option.”

WASHINGTON – Brian J. Booth, a 38-year-old Virginia resident, was arrested today and charged via criminal complaint with mail fraud for a scheme to use information stolen from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in an attempt to extort foreign officials and obtain payment for the information. According to Court records, Booth, an FAA employee, had access to information identifying persons who were previously authorized to exercise piloting or aircraft maintenance privileges in the United States, but who had their piloting or aircraft maintenance privileges revoked. Booth sent the names and addresses of certain of these individuals to the embassies...

A gun-grabbing Santa brought a little boy to tears in Illinois. The boy simply asked the Grinch posing as Jolly St. Nick for a nerf gun for Christmas. This Santa stepped out of his role and decided to make the boy feel bad about his Christmas wish. This was out of a scene from “A Christmas Story,” but even worse. Had this liberal Santa said, “You’ll shoot your eye out kid!” at least there would have been some chuckles. But, this Scrooge just flat out refused to listen to this kid. He immediately stopped the boy when the Nerf gun...

When we last spoke about Mac's Public House in Staten Island, the owners had declared themselves an "autonomous zone." A snarky way to protest Andrew Cuomo's tyrannical shutdown orders. Since then, one of the co-owners has been arrested. The protests have grown. And the "King of Staten Island," Pete Davidson, appeared on SNL to mock the people protesting. Pete got a scathing response (which we have below), but first, Davidson: Three guesses where he can shove the "Pete Davidson vibrator." People on Staten Island are less than amused. Like John Tobacco, a community activist who knew Davidson's father. The King...

A New York Supreme Court justice said that election officials have found 12 uncounted ballots in a drawer that could affect a race where the GOP congressional candidate holds a slim 12-vote lead.

For too long, mayors and governors and health officials across the country have overstepped their authority. Time to ignore them. By now it should be obvious that elected state and local officials issuing COVID-19 lockdown and stay-at-home orders are just making things up as they go along.Too often, their edicts aren’t based on science or data, but on a grotesque understanding of their own authority and infallibility. In the face of a worsening pandemic, they want to be seen doing something, taking bold action to stop the spread of the virus—that is, so long as it doesn’t hurt certain favored...

The idea that bars should remain open yet schools remain closed runs counter to any sense of logic, not to mention good public policy.The past nine months have seen more than a quarter-million Americans die from the coronavirus. Each and every death represents a tragedy — a life cut short, an empty place at the family table this holiday season, children mourning their parents, even parents mourning their children. But a separate and ongoing tragedy has also struck at countless more than another quarter-million Americans: Children who have disappeared from school following last spring’s COVID-19 closures. A survey conducted by...

Magna Carta (English: Great Charter) charter of English liberties granted by King John on June 15, 1215, under threat of civil war and reissued, with alterations, in 1216, 1217, and 1225. By declaring the sovereign to be subject to the rule of law and documenting the liberties held by “free men,” the Magna Carta provided the foundation for individual rights in Anglo-American jurisprudence. With his conquest of England in 1066, William I secured for himself and his immediate successors a position of unprecedented power. He was able to dominate not only the country but also the barons who had helped...
