The driver of a box truck that struck and killed five bicyclists on a stretch of Nevada highway last week, and told investigators he fell asleep at the wheel, had a high level of methamphetamine in his system, prosecutors said Wednesday. Jordan Alexander Barson, 45, of Kingman, Arizona, faces 12 felony charges, including driving under the influence and reckless driving, in a criminal complaint filed in Las Vegas. "Choices have consequences," Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson said after a Las Vegas judge issued a warrant for Barson's arrest in the Dec. 10 crash on U.S. 95 between Boulder City...

WASHINGTON — Over the past few years, the U.S. government has spent tens of billions of dollars on cyberoffensive abilities, building a giant war room at Fort Meade, Maryland, for U.S. Cyber Command, while installing defensive sensors all around the country — a system named Einstein to give it an air of genius — to deter the nation’s enemies from picking its networks clean, again.

In discussing @realDonaldTrump in phone conversation in 8/19, Justice John Roberts stated that he would make sure “the mother blanker would never be re-elected.” Roberts engaged in phone conversations with Justice Stephen Breyer discussing how to work to get Trump voted out.

They are "anti-Trumpers" dedicated to preventing public from knowing TRUTH of @realDonaldTrump re-election. AND I have long had questions about "the John Roberts" on Jeffrey Epstein private jet...

Trump is the Commander and Chief and is sworn by his oath of office to protect the U.S. from enemies at home and abroad. Trump as a father, husband, human, is sworn to protect those he cares for. The election was stolen. Everyone knows that. More important than the reality or the truth of that assertion, Trump believes this.

ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WROC) — Former Rochester Police Chief La’Ron Singletary claims Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren asked him to lie to city council about the death of Daniel Prude. “Mayor Warren asked me to withhold full and truthful information from the City Council investigation into the matter of Daniel Prude,” Singletary said, in a notice of claim made public Wednesday night. “Mayor Warren asked me instead, to provide false information to support the Mayor’s public narrative concerning her knowledge of the events in the matter of Daniel Prude. I repeatedly refused to lie for Mayor Warren. Pressure to support Mayor Warren’s...

The GOP today is the party of Donald Trump, but some Republicans just don’t know it yet. The failed GOP, the one that nominated John McCain and Mitt Romney for the Presidency, is dead. Good riddance to it. The GOP survives this day only because Donald Trump rescued it in 2016. Some have suggested that if Joe Biden is sworn in that Donald Trump should start his own party. Absolutely not! Why go through the process building an entirely new party when instead he can clear out all the splinters of driftwood from the party of Abraham Lincoln? There are,...

Despite searching with NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and Hubble Space Telescope, astronomers have no evidence that a distant black hole estimated to weigh between 3 billion and 100 billion times the mass of the Sun is anywhere to be found. This missing black hole should be in the enormous galaxy in the center of the galaxy cluster Abell 2261, which is located about 2.7 billion light years from Earth. This composite image...

It happened in broad daylight shortly before 10:30 a.m. on Nov. 28 along Southern Boulevard. Surveillance video shows the suspect walk up to a 32-year-old woman and backhand her in the face.

On Monday, Nevada officials charged Acorn, its regional director and its Las Vegas field director with submitting thousands of fraudulent voter registration forms last year. Larry Lomax, the registrar of voters in Las Vegas, says he believes 48% of Acorn's forms "are clearly fraudulent." On Thursday, prosecutors in Pittsburgh, Pa., also charged seven Acorn employees with filing hundreds of fraudulent voter registrations before last year's general election. Acorn spokesman Scott Levenson calls the Nevada criminal complaint "political grandstanding" and says that any problems were the actions of an unnamed "bad employee." But Catherine Cortez Masto, Nevada's Democratic Attorney General, told...

We'll likely have to carry around papers to show we were vaccinated in order to live, even unfreely with masks, in this society, but illegal aliens can vote. That is the upshot of the latest insidious Supreme Court decision to allow lower courts to shred all voter verification processes in election law. For the past few weeks, we've been told "states' rights" force us to pursue a "live and let live" policy toward state governors who violate the state's election law to weaken voter integrity laws. However, this principle is evidently a one-way street and doesn't apply to governors who...

Lt Governor praised student exchange that gave state Fang FangRevelations this week that thousands of Communist Chinese Party members had infiltrated major institutions worldwide brought renewed scrutiny to the country’s ties with the state of California. Besides the bombshell that CCP spy Fang Fang had a curiously close relationship with Bay Area Democratic Congressman Eric Swalwell, another development that requires reexamination of California’s world diplomacy is Sacramento’s commitment to China’s Belt and Road program. “Can anyone please explain to me how Gavin Newsom signed my state up for the #CCPChina Belt & Road Initiative,” asked Internet sleuth Eve @myfinewords this...

Australian actress Sam Frost posted a tearful message to her 567,000 Instagram followers, begging them to “use correct pronouns” after stumbling upon a social media post from someone who said “nasty comments about pronouns and non-binary gender identity.” “Why using the correct pronouns matters,” the Home and Away star began, explaining that she came across the comments from an individual she grew up with. “It completely broke my heart, I was deeply affected by it,” she said, explaining that she “can’t think about it without crying.” “It’s important to use correct pronouns, because firstly, it’s basic respect. Secondly, because it...

Senate Republicans will continue to monitor alleged election fraud before Congress counts Electoral College votes on Jan. 6, according to Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., on Newsmax TV. Asked if he would be willing to join a House member in objecting to the Electoral College vote, Scott was noncommittal when answering host Greg Kelly on Wednesday night’s "Greg Kelly Reports.” "We’ll see," said Scott, a member of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee that met earlier in the day. "I think today was an important day. I think Chairman [Sen.] Ron Johnson [R-Wis.] did a good job. He held an...
