A mountain's thin air and rocky soil can make it an inhospitable place to grow crops. But for all the challenges these conditions present farmers with, they can reward them in equal measures, such as with cold temperatures, dry air, and reduced dependence on pesticides. Actually going to market, however, requires hauling one's produce down the mountain—a task not for the faint of heart. In some tea-growing regions of Southeast Asia, the quickest way is via the biggest motor vehicles that can maneuver down mountainous trails: Motorcycles. Recent videos uploaded to social media show farmers traversing the treacherous terraces of...

The information in this documentary is real and scary and probably explains why everyone in the deep state want Trump destroyed. My friends, the corruption involves both sides of the aisle. They are all in on it. Trump exposed and will continue to expose the truth. I had no idea that the Mandalay Hotel shooting was part of a plot to assassinate the Crown Prince of Saudi ARabia. We foiled the plot. Trump saved his life. Did you know this? This is a PBS documentary that was not released. IT is the single most comprehensive explanation about what really happened...

Tainan, Jan. 26 (CNA) Taiwan's Air Force on Tuesday conducted a rare public drill of loading a type of locally made cruise missiles that reportedly has a range within reach of coastal Chinese provinces to one of its fighters, amid increasing military threats from the other side of the Taiwan Strait. In a drill held at the southern Tainan air base, flight crew from the First Tactical Fighter Wing deployed the Wan Chien (10 thousand swords) air-to-ground cruise missiles on an Indigenous Defense Fighter (IDF) jet. The missile, developed by the military's top research unit, the National Chung-Shan Institute of...

Rosenstein offered to wear wire on Trump, wanted fired Comey's advice on special counsel, newly declassified memos show. Newly declassified FBI memos provide startling new details that undercut the frenzied 2017 effort to investigate Donald Trump for obstruction, revealing the FBI knew Director James Comey's firing had been conceived by Justice Department leadership long before the president pulled the trigger during a key moment in the Russia probe. The memos written in May 2017 by Acting Director Andrew McCabe and a lieutenant also provide contemporaneous proof for some of the more jaw-dropping lore of the now-discredited Russia collusion scandal. For...

Though President Biden is all in on a Senate impeachment trial, telling CNN he believes it “has to happen,” even he is acknowledging the reality that the upper chamber will not be able to convict former President Trump. He told the network that if Trump had several months left in office the outcome of the trial could be different, but noted that it’s unlikely now that 17 GOP senators will vote to convict the former president. "The Senate has changed since I was there, but it hasn’t changed that much," Biden said. Biden made the comment during a brief one-on-one...

Boris Johnson has said he hopes it will be safe to reopen schools in England from 8 March, as the prime minister revealed to MPs when he intends to set out his plan for easing lockdown. In a COVID-19 statement to the Commons, the PM said ministers "do not yet have enough data to know exactly how soon it will be safe to reopen our society and economy". But he expressed hope that children could return from Monday, 8 March, provided the government meets its vaccination target of offering a jab to everyone in the top four priority groups by...

A new study out of Oxford University found that “the likelihood of a COVID-19 survivor developing a psychiatric or neurological illness within six months was 33.6 percent.”What’s more, the study – “Six-month Neurological and Psychiatric Outcomes in 236,379 Survivors of COVID-19” – found that one in eight people who have recovered from the virus are diagnosed with their first psychiatric or neurological illness within six months of testing positive.“The numbers rose to one in three when people with a previous history of psychiatric or neurological illnesses were included,” the New York Post added.The study also found that one in nine...

Former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) has issued a warning to America, declaring that ex-CIA Director John Brennan, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), and the oligarchs in Big Tech are "domestic enemies." In a new video message on Tuesday, Gabbard warned that Brennan, Schiff, and Silicon Valley pose an even greater threat to American liberty than the rioters who stormed the Capitol earlier this month.

On this date in 1781, George Washington quelled a dangerous mutiny in his starving Continental Army with a couple of salutary summary executions. Weeks before, the Pennsylvania Line had mutinied for better pay — successfully. (When approached by British agents offering hard currency should they turn coat, the mutinous troops patriotically arrested the agents.) General Washington had cause to fear widespread discontent in his chronically undersupplied army, however. He circulated to Congress and to several state governors an urgent appeal (.pdf) for more aid to hold up morale. The aggravated calamities and distresses that have resulted from the total want...

The World Economic Forum wants you to know that there is nothing sinister about its globalist masterplan — aka The Great Reset — for a New World Order. It says so in a promo video, released to coincide with its annual Davos summit (which is taking place online all this week). In the video, the WEF admits that some people think that the Great Reset sounds like ‘some nefarious plan for world domination.’

Former White House Chairman of the National Economic Council, Larry Kudlow, will begin a new venture joining Fox Business News on February 8th.Kudlow joined the wolverine Trump economic team in 2018 and was complimentary to the objectives of the Trump administration with his affable demeanor. Secretary Ross, Ambassador Lighthizer, Secretary Mnuchin and Peter Navarro were the teeth, while Larry Kudlow was the one who smoothed the edges. The entire team complimented each-other brilliantly.Fox News Media announced on Tuesday that Larry Kudlow, former President Donald Trump’s top economic adviser, would host a new weekday program on the Fox Business Network.Kudlow, who...

The Woman Accused of Stealing Pelosi’s Laptop Says She Doesn’t Have It Riley June Williams’ lawyer says the allegations against her are all lies told by a vengeful ex. After a long hearing in federal court in Washington, DC, on Tuesday, the case of Riley June Williams — a 22-year-old Pennsylvania woman accused of stealing, or helping to steal, a laptop from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s office and sell it to Russia’s foreign intelligence service — is more confusing than ever. According to a statement of facts compiled by the FBI, a “former romantic partner” of Williams called the agency...

As one of his first acts as president, Joe Biden rejoined the World Health Organization. But a top WHO official’s recent comment about the origins of the novel coronavirus call the decision into question. Michael Ryan, the executive director of WHO’s health emergencies program, said during a press conference last week that it’s “too early” to say that the coronavirus originated in China. “I think we have to say this quite plainly; all hypotheses are on the table and it is definitely too early to come to a conclusion of exactly where this virus started either within or without China,”...

A dumber stunt by the Democrats than proceeding with impeachment is difficult to imagine. This will remind Americans that Trump remains the most powerful figure in America, while the ghost-like Joe Biden occupies the White House as a mere puppet for Leftists who direct him.This will boost Trump’s standing within the Republican Party and among the general public. At least 45 Senate Republicans support Trump, as reflected by those who voted on January 26 to dismiss the impeachment entirely, and that is 11 votes more than he needs.Trump’s inevitable victory at the end of this foolish impeachment will return him...

WASHINGTON -- Fulfilling a campaign promise, President Joe Biden plans to reopen the HealthCare.gov insurance markets for a special sign-up opportunity geared to people needing coverage in the coronavirus pandemic. Biden is expected to sign an executive order Thursday, said two people familiar with the plan, whose details were still being finalized. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the pending order ahead of a formal announcement. Although the number of uninsured Americans has grown because of job losses due to the economic hit of COVID-19, the Trump administration resisted calls to authorize a...

Now that Congressional Democrats have set the precedent that presidents who are no longer in office can be impeached, in flagrant disregard of the Constitutional provision that one of the consequences of impeachment and conviction is “removal from Office,” impeachment has become not only a weapon of partisan politics and naked vengeance, but a way to correct historical wrongs. What’s more, Trump is being tried for inciting a violent riot by telling demonstrators “to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.” If that will fly, the “high crimes” don’t have to be all that high in the coming trials of...

Given that the COVID-19 virus originated in Wuhan, China, and the precedent of using place of origin within the names of viruses, it would only make sense that we would use the term “China virus” to describe COVID-19. Not Anymore, you racist! The latest of Joe Biden’s THIRTY SEVEN executive orders signed in the first week of his presidency states that the term ‘Chinese virus’ or ‘China virus’ is now banned.

Some in Weld County asking to secede from Colorado to join Wyoming by: Ashley Michels Updated: Jan 27, 2021 WELD COUNTY, Colo. (KDVR) — If you live in Weld County, you may soon be asked if you want to live in Wyoming instead. According to the political committee “Weld County Wyoming,” the question is part of a new push to get a measure on the November ballot that would “instruct Weld County Commissioners to engage and explore the annexation of Weld County with the State of Wyoming’s Legislature.” “Can this be done? Yes, it can be done. Is it going...

There are two sides to the question of where the eventual Trump presidential library will be built. Where would Donald Trump want it to go? And where would it be allowed to be built? The two places Trump has chosen to live, New York City and Palm Beach, Florida, are very unlikely to permit construction of what would amount to a monument and pilgrimage site honoring the 45th President of the United States. Partly, that would be based on partisan differences and, face it, the irrational hatred we call Trump Derangement Syndrome. But in the case of Palm Beach, there...
