New Orleans Police say a man walked into the store around 9:30 p.m. Hingel says soon after, shots flew. "The customer walked in, went over to the coolers, walked over and started coming behind the counter," he said. "Apparently the girl didn't get the money out fast enough and started shooting." However, another employee stepped in. "The cooler man pushed the girl on the ground and went behind the wall a bit and came out and told the man get on the floor," said Hingel. "And the guy started shooting at him again." The armed robber, who's name isn't yet...

We the People must take to the US Capitol lawn and steps and tell Congress #DoNotCertify on #JAN6! Congress cannot certify this fraudulent Electoral College. Our presence in Washington D.C. will let Members of Congress know that we stand with Rep. Mo Brooks and his colleagues in the House of Representatives who will bravely object to the certification of the Electoral College. We're in need of at least one Senator. We've identified six (seven including Senator-elect Tommy Tuberville) that could join our cause. StopTheSteal.us is working closely, whipping the vote up, with patriots in the Congress.

Source: Myra AdamsOur Bible study this Christmas Sunday concludes the “reason for the season” mini-series. We began with “Why Simeon Meeting the Baby Jesus Is So Profound,” Then stepped back and discussed, “Mary and Elizabeth, Both Miraculously Pregnant, Have a Visitation,” Followed by last week’s “Isaiah Foretells the Coming of Christ,” And now, “Why Jesus Was Born Jewish” – a “controversial” topic that necessitates me donning extra-strength body armor. But before some readers unleash poison arrows through cyberspace, here is a personal Jewish Christmas story that might help reduce the castigation and vitriol heading my way. As loyal readers know,...

Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, is grieving over, as CNN reporter Dana Bash put it, President Trump's "very firm grip on the Republican Party." Bash recently asked Romney whether he fears the party won't "be able to overcome Trumpism in the near future." Romney didn't object to Bash's negative characterization of Trumpism. He merely responded that he believes "Trump will continue to have a substantial influence on the party" and that those other than Trump who are rumored to be GOP presidential candidates in 2024 "are trying to appeal to kind of a populist approach."

A mother who was advised to have an abortion more than ten times is set to celebrate her first at home Christmas with her daughter. Chloe Conlin, a mother from Norwich, refused to have an abortion despite pressure from doctors. Her daughter, Miyah, now 14 months old, has a serious heart defect called atrial isomerism. She underwent open heart surgery last Christmas Eve shortly after she was born. “She’s doing really well at the moment”, said Ms Conlin. “They told me she wouldn’t be reaching her milestones. She’s started walking. She took her first steps about three weeks ago and...

I will be gone all day so what do you say we spend today pondering this eminently ponderable: what is it about the human brain that causes us to mishear certain words or phrases? And why, once misheard, does the brain try to render meaning to the nonsensical and forevermore insist on mishearing the same thing over and over? Ed Driscoll was obviously wondering more or less the same thing when he posted this little gem retweeted from a reddit thread. He did so with this droll observation: ANALYSIS: TRUE. France is Bacon.We’ve all had this happen to us, but...

I have the most important Christmas message ever for President Donald Trump. I'm one of the few who can deliver this message. I understand the man. I appreciate the man. Even the liberal media has described me as President Trump's fiercest champion since the day he came down that escalator in June 2015. The liberal Daily Beast called me "the Las Vegas version of Trump." Anthony Scaramucci said, "Wayne Allyn Root was there for Trump before Trump was there." Steve Bannon only days ago called me "The OG" -- original gangster -- "for Trump and the MAGA Movement." And my...

While Barack Obama was once the greatest inspiration for gun-buying in America, 2020 offered Americans the best incentives ever to buy. Once upon a time, as a Democrat who grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area, I was such an anti-gun fanatic that I donated to the Brady Campaign. Thankfully, I saw the light after Hurricane Katrina (when seconds counted, the police were days away), and have made up for my past bad judgment by being an NRA member, using my writing abilities to promote the Second Amendment, and helping the bottom line at several local gun stores. That’s...

America is fortunate to have Donald Trump as president, who despite his shortcomings, is indisputably a leader with the essential quality of courage for a time such as this. One of President Trump’s most prescient statements to the American electorate leading up to the November vote was, “They’re not after me, they’re after you, I’m just in the way.” The question that everyone should want to fully grasp now is, who is the “they” that Trump has repeatedly referred to, and what do they want to do to you and to America? This “they” goes beyond the Democrat Party and...

Jon Ossoff “may be a security risk,” according to Sen-elect Bill Hagerty (R-TENN). Hagerty, former US Ambassador to Japan, told Breitbart he made the assessment after learning Ossoff's film company made money off a company tied to the CCP. He is “certainly not an acceptable choice for senator.” In a July financial disclosure, Ossoff admitted that his 2013 investment in Insight TWI, made more than $5,000 in two years from the Hong Kong-based telecoms firm PCCW, a subsidiary of China Unicom, w/ close ties to the CCP. “China has proven it will brazenly leverage any relationship to gain influence in...

The Washington, DC, establishment absolutely loves itself. Every profession in the city is riddled with people who dine out on titles and past accomplishments, and will do so for the rest of their lives. “Right this way, Ambassador,” is muttered daily to someone who served for 20 minutes in an administration generations ago. They absolutely love it. So it’s no wonder Jill Biden felt the need to order people to refer to her as “doctor,” since she’s spent most her adult life in the shadow of people who pat themselves on the backs so hard over titles that you’d think...

It's always nice to end a bad year with a bombing. My desk overlooks an intersection. Looking out on it, Christmas Eve was gloomy and depressing. No lights, no people, virtually no cars. Just dark and cold and rain. I have no greater expectations for New Year’s Eve. The morning after I saw a fat grey squirrel racing up the tall holly at the corner of my front lawn, picking up in its mouth huge dried leaves blown there from the sycamore tree, scampering across the gutter on the garage and disappearing from my view. I stepped out to see...

The Covid-19 pandemic has hit some public transit systems hard. Passenger numbers on New York’s MTA and London’s Underground metro system initially crashed by around 95 percent, and have since recovered to only about one-third of last year’s levels. And while those numbers have rebounded, passenger numbers are likely to be lower in the near-to-medium term. But that's not what has experts worried. With cities around the world facing financial problems because of the economic impact of the pandemic, governments may look to cut funding since ridership is down. That can create what some have dubbed a “death spiral” —...

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel (D) is pursuing legal sanctions against lawyers who questioned the outcome of the November election. Nessel, who has defended Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) and Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson (D), said this week she is going to go after the attorneys who filed lawsuits alleging vote fraud and that votes were manipulated by Dominion Voting Systems. “You know if you will have your name attached to it, and you have made intentional misrepresentations of facts to the court, I absolutely believe that you ought to be held accountable,” Nessel said, Michigan Radio reported. Nessel said...

Former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown was one of the strongest voices urging Gov. Gavin Newsom to pick a Black woman to succeed Vice President-elect Kamala Harris in the United States Senate. In the weeks leading up to the appointment, Brown stated in no uncertain terms, "There's no way that Gavin Newsom should allow anyone other than a Black woman to fill the seat of Harris." Of the seat potentially going to a Latino, he wrote, "Why would you replace the only Black woman with somebody other than a Black person? Racial minorities should know they should not try to...
