Hearing of the ORSIS T-5000, one might think it is an advanced “terminator” from the future. However, this is no work of science fiction and it could be a very real threat to U.S. soldiers. It is the Russian tactical sniper rifle, produced at the privately-owned ORSIS factory outside of Moscow. In 2016, the U.S. Army released a report that warned of the threat from Russian snipers, which were reported to have been deployed in the conflict in Ukraine. The unclassified “Russian New Generation Warfare Handbook,” prepared by the Asymmetric Warfare Group, called attention to the ORSIS T-5000 specifically and...

Google, Facebook, and Twitter ultimately don't want you to see anything from The Federalist. They also hope you don't notice.Leftist media has skewed U.S. politics for decades, but Big Tech’s amplified influence over global discourse and governments is new. While Congress passed no legislation related to this political and national security emergency, we the people were held captive in lockdowns during a major election while crucial public information was filtered, hidden, and surveilled by unaccountable companies with no allegiance to the United States and obvious disdain for hundreds of millions of its inhabitants.This is a huge social problem. Regaining our...

White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany blasted Jake Tapper after the CNN anchor claimed he refuses to have her on his show because she “lies all the time.” McEnany’s comments were prompted by a segment in which Tapper found a safe space with his intellectually stunted colleague, Brian Stelter, on the show “Reliable Sources,” a misnomer if ever there was one. Stelter being the friendly purveyor of false information in a network known for false information allowed the opportunity for Tapper to open up. There “were some people who were just so mendacious I just wouldn’t put them on air,”...

Nashville is still struggling in the aftermath of the Christmas Day bombing that injured three people, damaged dozens of buildings including an AT&T network hub, and caused days-long communication service outages. Authorities have identified a suspect, Anthony Quinn Warner. Here are 5 things to know about him. 1. He died in the blast On Sunday, authorities said Warner, the suspected bomber, died in the Christmas Day explosion. “Anthony Warner is the bomber.

Yesterday, I wrote about a New York Times story that focused on an 18-year-old boy from an affluent Virginia community who sat for a year on an old 3-second private video in which a classmate, when she was 15, used a racial slur because she thought the word made her cool and “grown-up.” My post focused on the behavior of the Times and University of Tennessee, Knoxville, for validating this cruel and immature behavior. Robert Stacy McCain noticed something else foul about the article: It’s part of the New York Times's consistent pattern of demeaning the Southern states. I take...

CNN anchor Don Lemon said Monday that President Donald Trump was “just embarrassing himself” with his delay in signing the coronavirus stimulus bill. Lemon said, “Ron, I got to tell you, watching this as much as you can as a layperson over the holidays because I was spending time off and not working, it’s embarrassing. The president is just embarrassing himself and really ruining whatever legacy that he has acquired since he’s been in office.”

John Paul Mac Isaac, the Wilmington, Delaware owner of a now-closed computer repair shop, is suing Twitter for half a billion dollars for implying that he is a “hacker.” The case Mac Isaac v. Twitter, Inc. (link currently not working) was filed in federal court in Southern District of Florida and alleges:[25.] Defendant's false and negligent statements about Plaintiff include: …[b.] Posting the reason for the [New York Post account being locked] as it being in violation of Defendant's "hacked material" rules ….[26.] Defendant's Distribution of Hacked Materials Policy … defines a "hack" as "an intrusion or access of computer,...

A DNA test identified the bomber as Anthony Quinn Warner, according to the Associated Press. No one else was involved in the incident, the outlet reported. Warner had worked as a computer consultant for Nashville realtor Steve Fridrich, who told the AP in a text message that Warner had said he was retiring earlier this month. Furthermore, officials have not provided insight into why Warner selected the particular location for the bombing, which damaged an AT&T building and continued to wreak havoc on cellphone service and police and hospital communications in several Southern states as the company worked to restore...

Pray For the Peace of JerusalemLambs, Sheep, and Shepherds.1 Chronicles 11:1-3David Becomes King Over Israel 11 All Israel came together to David at Hebron and said, “We are your own flesh and blood. 2 In the past, even while Saul was king, you were the one who led Israel on their military campaigns. And the Lord your God said to you, ‘You will shepherd my people Israel, and you will become their ruler.’” 3 When all the elders of Israel had come to King David at Hebron, he made a covenant with them at Hebron before the Lord, and they...

Suit claims Twitter’s censorship of Hunter Biden laptop articles falsely branded shop owner as ‘hacker.’ IIn a case certain to test the limits of legal immunity in the digital era, a Delaware shop owner embroiled in the Hunter Biden laptop controversy has filed a $500 million defamation lawsuit against Twitter alleging he was falsely portrayed as a hacker by the social media giant.

It’s impossible to sugarcoat this: The Presidential election of November 2020 was an unmitigated disaster to any sane-thinking person concerned with the good of America. While unintellectual, style-obsessed political simpletons cheer the outcome based strictly on emotional rooting interests, intelligent individuals who are more concerned with full employment, energy independence, military readiness and border security than identity politics, racial/gender quotas and the microaggression du jour realize that a “Biden” administration will set American economic prosperity and social progress back by decades. If the Democrats come into power, the government will pick the winners and losers and the country will devolve...

The official CCP posture is implacable anger against Japan for its imperialist scorched earth policy in China, but the fact gone down the memory hole is that during one phase of the CCP's holy Long March, Mao's forces, now called the PRA, fought with the Japanese against Chang Kai Shek's Nationalist Komingtang. This was in a footnote to Conservapedia's article on one of the most vile betrayers of the Chinese people, Owen Lattimore of the Rockefeller-funded Institute of Pacific Relations. That article is worth the read on its own. In July and August 1943, the Chinese Communist forces—in the midst...

A slight majority of Republicans said they want to see a “fresh face” run for President in 2024, while one-third indicated they would like to see “a candidate who has already run in the past,” says a December 21-2 poll by Rasmussen Reports. The question in the poll of 1,000 likely voters offered room for still-mourning Republicans to show support for a 2024 candidate younger than departing President Donald Trump, who would turn 78 during the 2024 race, and turn 82 in 2028.

Here’s what happens when you defund the police. – We’ve seen examples from communist Democrat-run cities all over the country now. From New York to Los Angeles and from Minneapolis to Seattle, cities whose Democrat leaders have taken action to cut major chunks out of their police force budgets are very predictably seeing massive spikes in violent crimes as a result. Things are no different in Portland, where the communist-Democrat city council cut $15 million of the police budget during the summer, even as violent riots were plaguing the city’s downtown district and surrounding neighborhoods. That action and the general...

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel lashed out at President Trump after he posted a news article about her on Twitter. Trump shared a story about Nessel pursuing legal sanctions against attorneys who have raised questions and filed lawsuits about the legitimacy of the November election. “These lawyers are true patriots who are fighting for the truth and, obviously, getting very close. AG should be sanctioned,” Trump wrote on Twitter while linking to the story. He also posted it on Facebook. That triggered Nessel, who blasted the president in a series of tweets: “A patriot is a person who vigorously defends...

A team of astronomers, led by the University of Tokyo, Japan, used the Keck I telescope to measure the distance to the oldest galaxy in the Universe, which is located at the boundary of the observable Universe. The team hopes that their research on the oldest galaxy in the Universe, GN-z11, can shed light on a period of cosmological history when the Universe was only a few hundred million years old. Professor Nobunari Kashikawa from the Department of Astronomy at the University of Tokyo said: “From previous studies, the galaxy GN-z11 seems to be the farthest detectable galaxy from us,...
