A small business owner says he was banned from selling a "Free Kyle" shirt on the e-commerce platform Shopify referring to Kyle Rittenhouse, an Illinois teen accused of killing two people during unrest in Kenosha, Wis. The company told Seth Weathers, founder and owner of BringAmmo.com, that the product violated its Acceptable Use Policy, Weathers said. Weathers is now accusing Shopify of anti-conservative bias, telling FOX Business that the decision had little explanation and came "out of the blue," since the item had been listed since summer 2020.

Investigating if company "engages in any pattern or practice of discrimination" against non-citizens The U.S. Department of Justice is investigating Elon Musk’s SpaceX for allegedly preferring to hire American citizens over non-citizens. According to the DOJ, in March 2020, a non-U.S. citizen inquiring about the position of technology strategy associate at SpaceX was asked about his citizenship status. DOJ attorney Lisa Sandoval stated that SpaceX “ultimately failed to hire him for the position because he is not a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident.” Last Thursday, the DOJ filed a request with a judge “to order SpaceX to comply with...

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis held a news conference Tuesday to announce the support of legislation to protect social media users' privacy, saying "big tech has come to look more like big brother with each passing day." The governor said the legislation will seek a slew of changes that DeSantis says will protect privacy and censorship by social media platforms. He called out Facebook, Twitter, Google, Apple and Amazon for being "nameless, faceless boards of censors." "Over the years, however, these platforms have changed from neutral platforms that provided Americans with the freedom to speak to enforcers of preferred narratives," DeSantis...

One response indicated that a player needed a “life flight” to the hospital due to a “traumatic injury” while playing with a mask on... A survey completed by student athletes and their parents revealed the harmful effects mask-wearing has had on high school sports players’ physical and mental health. Seventy-four percent of students who responded reported experiencing at least one “clinically significant symptom” from wearing a mask while playing, including loss of consciousness, dizziness, and vomiting. The informal survey was organized by Let Them Play MN, a grassroots organization of parents and kids who are fighting against Gov. Tim Walz...

Can you imagine, if one of our lovable liberal leaders said something like this on any cable network? Something along the lines of, "Look,yes, us Democrats feel sorry for the thousands who lost their jobs building the Keystone Pipeline, but hey, it's OK. McDonalds is hiring,Taco Bell is hiring,Kentucky Fried Chicken is hiring. So for the 11,000 unfortunate Americans who just lost thier jobs, please don't cry, it's not over. Just go to your nearest fast food restaurant and start a new career. Yup, and that's pretty much what we are getting from our current Democrat Party. Right?

ASHINGTON (AP) — House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy faced unrest Tuesday from opposing ends of the Republican spectrum over Reps. Liz Cheney and Marjorie Taylor Greene, underscoring GOP fissures as the party seeks its pathway without Donald Trump in the White House. Hard-right lawmakers were itching to oust Cheney, a traditional conservative and daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, from her post as the No. 3 House Republican after she voted to impeach Trump last month. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell praised Cheney and aligned himself with party moderates trying to isolate or punish Greene, a first-term congresswoman gaining...

Newly filed lobbying records show Venezuela’s socialist government previously hired a longtime Democratic Party donor for $6 million at the same time it was lobbying to discourage the U.S. from imposing sanctions on the oil-rich nation. The documents, which were disclosed Thursday, show a U.S. subsidiary of Venezuela’s state oil giant PDVSA agreed to hire Marcia Wiss’ Washington law firm in March 2017. That’s the same month it signed a consulting deal for $50 million with scandal-tainted former Congressman David Rivera. Wiss, an international trade lawyer with a history of donations to the Democratic Party, including a $1,500 contribution to...

“Lindsey Graham tells me that if Trump’s legal team starts trying to “prove” that Georgia/Pennsylvania/Wisconsin were “stolen” from Trump, “that’s when you’re going to lose everybody. That’s when most of us will be ready to move on. “That’s when you’re going to lose everybody.”

Attorneys for Donald Trump said Tuesday the House’s impeachment of the former president “is facially and substantively flawed, and otherwise unconstitutional.”In a response to House Democrats’ brief claiming Trump was responsible for the riots, attorneys Bruce Castor and David Schoen called for either the single article of impeachment against Trump to be dismissed “with prejudice,” meaning the case cannot be brought again, or for the Senate to acquit him.Portions of the U.S. Constitution dealing with impeachment require “that a person actually hold office to be impeached,” they write in one of their answers to Democrats’ arguments. While Article II, as...

Sixteen minor tremors (not a big deal for California, I know) in the past 24 hours. But all of them are on or very near the San Andreas fault-line system Between the San Mateo and King City areas. The southern area of the fault in California (Salton Sea vicinity) has its normal cluster of minor events. You need to select "1 day, All magnitudes US" from the settings icon to see this interesting pattern. If you select "7 days, All magnitudes US", the map displays a similar pattern. But activity at the northern end seems to have picked up a...

A Newsmax anchor walked off the air in the middle of an interview after the show’s guest continued to insist that the 2020 presidential election was stolen. Newsmax invited Mike Lindell, founder and chief executive of My Pillow, to discuss Twitter’s decision to shut down the corporate MyPillow account after Lindell used it to tweet allegations about election fraud over the weekend. Lindell’s personal account was previously suspended permanently last week after Lindell, a close ally of former President Trump, posted similar claims about voter fraud. “Well, first mine was taken down because we have all the election fraud with...

Redditors captured national headlines last month by driving the price of GameStop stock over 14,000%, catching bearish institutional investors in a classic “short squeeze.” A spike last Wednesday drove the shares up 40% and sent the broader market into a frenzy. Everyone wanted in on the action. New “meme stocks” like AMC, Nokia, and Blackberry—hot brand names from 2005—percolated up from the online ferment to ride the tail winds of GameStop’s success. Dave Portnoy of Barstool Sports purportedly invested a million bucks in a handful of these names. Others followed. I followed. On Wednesday, 1.25 billion shares of AMC were...

Eugenio Martinez, the last surviving Watergate burglar and the only figure in the scandal besides Richard M. Nixon to be granted a presidential pardon, died on Saturday in Minneola, Fla. He was 98. His death, at his daughter’s home near Orlando, was announced by Brigade 2506, a veterans group of Mr. Martinez’s fellow anti-Communist Cuban exiles. Their abortive invasion to overthrow the government headed by Fidel Castro in 1963 at the Bay of Pigs was covertly supported by the Central Intelligence Agency.

A Newsmax host on Tuesday walked off camera in the middle of an interview with MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell after the businessman and vocal supporter of former President Trump refused to stop voicing unsupported claims of fraud in the 2020 election. Anchor Bob Sellers and fellow host Heather Childers attempted to interview Lindell on conservative complaints of "cancel culture" after Twitter permanently suspended his account last week over his continued efforts to advance allegations that the vote was rigged in favor of President Biden. Twitter on Monday also officially banned the MyPillow company account after Lindell utilized it to make...

We had a 'snow day' yesterday. It used to be that snow days were an unexpected and very welcome respite from the workday routine, perhaps coming along once or twice per year here (though I remember one year when we were 'locked down' for over a week with huge snow, and then rain on top.) But yesterday, we were still expected to 'telework', since we'd been doing it for a year anyway; and it wasn't quite the same :-( I haven't been eating well, during the past year of lockdown. It's been too easy to just order lousy food for...
