By Cyrus Yaqubi* Hassan Rouhani defended his actions, perhaps it does more justice to say his inaction, in dealing with coronavirus outbreak while almost all provinces of Iran are in red zones and even some are in the black zone, and according to unofficial reports so far nearly 180,000 died and more than 1.2 million people contracted the coronavirus and said: “We were approaching the channel of 500 people a day, and even some predictions indicated that we would have much worse conditions with the same trend, but with measures that were taken, we reached below 400 people and we...

Rudy Giuliani: “The case wasn’t rejected on the merits, the case was rejected on standing. So the answer to that is to bring the case now to the district court by the president, by some of the electors, alleging some of the same facts where there would be standing,” he said in a Friday interview on Newsmax. “There’s nothing that prevents us from filing these cases immediately in the district court in which the president of course would have standing, some of the electors would have standing in that their constitutional rights have been violated,” he added. “We’re not finished,”...

President-elect Joe Biden expressed support for his son Hunter Biden on Friday in his first public comment on the matter since the presidential transition team disclosed that the 50-year-old businessman’s “tax affairs” were under federal investigation. Reporters shouted questions at the president-elect as he left the stage at an event to introduce several Cabinet appointees in Wilmington, Del. Biden ignored a question from Fox News’ Peter Doocy on whether Hunter Biden had committed a crime, but responded when asked if he had spoken to his son since the investigation was revealed. “I’m proud of my son,” Biden said as he...

A Fox News poll released Friday found mixed reviews about President Trump's job performance over the last few years, with a majority ultimately saying they thought the United States was worse off now than it was four years ago. Fifty-five percent of voters in the the poll said they believe the U.S. is worse off now than it was four years ago, while nearly a third — 32 percent — said it was better off and 11 percent said it was the same.

"One if by land, and two if by sea; And I on the opposite shore will be, Ready to ride and spread the alarm Through every Middlesex village and farm, For the country-folk to be up and to arm.” The date: April 18th. The year: 1775. The patriot: Paul Revere. Ever hear of him? Paul Revere was a Boston silversmith and patriot. On the night of April 18th, 1775, Revere and his fellow patriots rode hell-bent for leather through New England alerting the patriots that the British were coming by sea as communicated by the "two if by sea" lanterns...

Hunter Biden sent an email to the manager of his Washington, D.C. office building in September 2017 asking her to make keys for his “office mates” Joe Biden and Gongwen Dong, who he said was the “emissary” for the chairman of the Chinese energy conglomerate CEFC. Hunter Biden’s dealings with CEFC in 2017 were at the center of Tony Bobulinski’s October allegation that Joe Biden was “plainly familiar” with his family’s Chinese business dealings. Multiple news outlets have reported this week that a federal investigation into Hunter Biden’s “tax affairs” is focused on his foreign business activities, including with CEFC....

Abortion activists in the streets of Buenos Aires, Argentina jumped for joy Friday at the prospect of being able to legally kill their unborn babies in elective, unnecessary abortions. The sickening display of “deep joy and emotion” occurred after an early morning vote by the Argentine lower house to legalize abortions up to 14 weeks of pregnancy, Euro News reports. Abortion activist, backed by some of the richest men in the world, hope that if they convince Argentina to abandon its protections for unborn babies, other South American countries will follow its example. Most countries on the content protect unborn...

This year's only total solar eclipse will cross South America on Monday (Dec. 14), and you can watch the spectacle unfold online thanks to a host of webcasts — no special safety glasses needed.The broadcasts are particularly fortunate, given that the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic means eclipse-chasing is not safe this year. The eclipse will begin at 8:33 a.m. EST (1333 GMT) and conclude at 1:53 p.m. EST (1853 GMT), with totality lasting at most 2 minutes and 10 seconds. The narrow path of totality will cross from Saavedra, Chile, to Salina del Eje, Argentina; otherwise the total eclipse will cross...

Invisible structures generated by gravitational interactions in the Solar System have created a "space superhighway" network, astronomers have discovered. These channels enable the fast travel of objects through space, and could be harnessed for our own space exploration purposes, as well as the study of comets and asteroids. By applying analyses to both observational and simulation data, a team of researchers led by Nataša Todorović of Belgrade Astronomical Observatory in Serbia observed that these superhighways consist of a series of connected arches inside these invisible structures, called space manifolds - and each planet generates its own manifolds, together creating what...

The revelation that Hunter Biden is being criminally investigated for his business activities in China came on Monday from the investigative target himself, and he predictably and self-servingly depicted it as just a narrow probe about his “tax affairs” by the U.S. Attorney for Delaware. As I wrote last night, that by itself would be significant enough — the documents published in the weeks before the election by The New York Post contained ample information about exactly that matter, yet were widely repressed by a union of mainstream news outlets, the intelligence community and Silicon Valley based on propaganda and...

BLM protest in Manhattan: “protesters surrounded the driver’s car, while tapping and pounding on it. Panicked, the woman apparently drove forward to get away, striking the protesters.” So why did they arrest the driver, instead of the people who were pounding on her car?Reporting on a Black Lives Matter protest from earlier today that took place in Manhattan, NBC News reported:“According to two law enforcement sources, protesters surrounded the driver’s car, while tapping and pounding on it. Panicked, the woman apparently drove forward to get away, striking the protesters in the process, police said.”The protestors attacked the driver.Then the driver...

1) I never, ever thought we would survive 4 years of Zero. Certainly not 8. But here we were in 2016. 2) God gave Zero a spirit of sloth. He was by far the laziest president I ever saw. He got a stimulus bill, Ocare, & a bunch of exec order "treaties" in 8 years that . . .2) contd . . . Trump undid in about 45 minutes. Zero's legacy is today only "the first black president." Really, if you'd told me that in 2009, I'd say you were smokin' whacky tobaccky.3) "Well, Schweikart, they won't make that mistake...

Harrison Ford will be grabbing his whip and ramming on his hat for a fifth "Indiana Jones" movie, Disney has confirmed -- a mere 41 years after the first installment, "Raiders of the Lost Ark," was released. Disney said in a tweet on Friday that the movie would be produced by its production arm Lucasfilm and released in July 2022, and that "Indy himself, Harrison Ford, will be back to continue his iconic character's journey." The entertainment giant also confirmed the news in an investor presentation, saying the movie was currently in "pre-production."

Two counties—Antrim in Michigan and Coffee in Georgia—have conducted forensic examinations of the Dominion voting machines used in the November election. Both have found anomalies in the machines. Antrim is the county where a "glitch" in the Dominion machine caused 6,000 votes cast for Trump to be credited to Biden. The forensic examination did not support the "glitch" theory. Attorney Matthew DePerno said "it appears to be more of a 'feature' of the machine than a 'glitch.' The lack of simple round numbers in the vote tallies suggest that there is an algorithm in the device that counts each vote...

WASHINGTON, D.C.—In a bold move to stop the election from being certified for Joe Biden, President Donald Trump has filed a lawsuit against every single person who voted against him. “It is well known that I’m trying to make America great again,” Trump told the press, “so why would anyone want to stop that? Obviously, something illegal and wrong is going on here, and it’s time for the courts to take a look at it.” The lawsuit, filed against over 81 million people who voted for Joe Biden, has been backed by 106 House Republicans. It seeks damages for emotional...
