In March, when much of the nation shut down in response to the coronavirus landing on American shores, the Anti-Defamation League estimated that there were at least 57 instances of anti-Asian harassment and violence nationwide. And in recent weeks, the string of violence and anti-Asian sentiment has reached another breaking point — one that has disproportionately targeted vulnerable Asian seniors in the Bay Area.

One of the easiest things to predict about the end of Donald Trump's presidency was that anti-Trump journalists would eventually feel a heated rush of nostalgia about their heroic crusade to keep democracy from dying. But it came earlier than expected. Alexander Nazaryan of Yahoo News wrote a piece for the Democrat-endorsing website The Atlantic that was originally headlined "I Miss the Thrill of Trump." He unintentionally caused laughter when he wrote: "Covering the administration was thrilling for many journalists, in the way that I imagine storming Omaha Beach must have been for a 20-year-old fresh from the plains of...

Watch Bannon’s War Room Friday Morning Edition 10 AM Eastern.

WASHINGTON, Monday, Feb. 11. Private dispatches from Tennessee indicate that the State has voted against having any Convention, at the same time it has elected an overwhelming majority of Union delegates to one. Mr. ETHERIDGE's county is nearly unanimous for Union. Later and fuller advices received from Texas show that only about forty-six counties in the State voted at the recent election for a Convention, and only one-eighth, instead of one-third, of the usual popular vote was cast. Under the law referring the secession Ordinance to the people, the election comes off in twenty days notice, and the returns are...

Another way in which illegal aliens get to be a sort of "super-citizen. In an amazing display of cognitive dissonance, the Biden administration proposes imposing limits on the movement of American citizens while encouraging the flood of illegal aliens from Mexico and Latin America. His actions are allegedly intended to mitigate the spread of the Chinese COVID virus. Per the Miami Herald: The Biden administration is considering whether to impose domestic travel restrictions, including on Florida, fearful that coronavirus mutations are threatening to reverse hard-fought progress on the pandemic. Outbreaks of the new variants — including a highly contagious one...

The election swept in a legion of Second Amendment foes. Americans can expect them to take James Madison’s statement that disarming the people is “the best and most effective way to enslave them” as less of a warning and more of a directive. During the campaign, Joe Biden was asked by CNN’s Anderson Cooper if a Biden administration would mean “they are going to come for my guns,” and Biden responded, “Bingo.” Vice President Harris proudly supports “mandatory buy-backs” which is just a euphemism for outright confiscation. President Biden’s Domestic Policy Council Chair Susan Rice announced that the Administration will...

Two small clusters of deaths after COVID-19 vaccination have been reported among nursing homes in Kentucky and Arkansas. In Kentucky, four seniors died the same day of their vaccination on Dec. 30, 2020. Three of the four who passed away reportedly already had had coronavirus prior to getting vaccinated. In Arkansas, four seniors died at a long term care facility about a week after their vaccination. All tested positive for COVID-19 after vaccination. The deaths are reported in a federal database called VAERS, the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System. Deaths after vaccination don’t necessarily mean the vaccine is to blame....

Multiple calls for a criminal investigation into Governor Andrew Cuomo have arisen following a bombshell report in which one of his top aides admitted in a conference call to Democrat lawmakers that the administration hid information on COVID nursing home deaths from federal investigators. In August, the Department of Justice announced that they had requested information from New York regarding pandemic-related orders that might have led to the deaths of thousands of seniors in nursing homes. The New York Democrat consistently painted the investigation as politically motivated. But a stunning confession from Melissa DeRosa, secretary to the governor, seems to...

The New York Times rolled out a report citing “four people familiar with Trump’s condition” claiming Trump was way sicker with Covid-19 in October than publicly acknowledged.

The heated debate continues over the firing of NYT science writer Donald McNeil for uttering the most infamous word in the entire English language :McNeil’s ouster came nearly two years after the incident that precipitated it. While chaperoning high school students on a pricey trip to Peru, the science reporter responded to a question from a student about whether one of her classmates should have been suspended for using the n-word. In the process, he uttered the offending syllables himself.Sacre Bleu! The “n-word”!! The Times dismissal was not without its customary sanctimoniousness:"We do not tolerate racist language regardless of intent,"...

President Biden visited the National Institutes of Health complex on Thursday and he spoke about the U.S. vaccine supply and his goals for the rollout, but he also indicated that mask-wearing will likely be a reality for the next year. He told reporters that even though he was standing on stage about 10 feet from Dr. Anthony Fauci and Dr. Francis Collins, he would continue to wear his mask. He said that wearing the mask "though the next year" can save a significant number of lives.

On Friday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Fox News @ Night,” Rep.-Elect Claudia Tenney (R-NY) called for New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) to resign over his handling of nursing homes during the coronavirus pandemic. Tenney said, [relevant remarks begin around 2:45] “Gov. Cuomo should be held accountable.

A pair of bombshell revelations dropped Thursday and further exposed the corruption of New York Governor Andrew Cuomo (D). The first shoe to drop came from the Associated Press, early in the evening, and it found Cuomo had sent over 9,000 elderly coronavirus patients back to their long-term care centers (far more than they first claimed). The second story came in the form of a recorded phone call obtained by the New York Post where an aide admits the administration intentionally covered up nursing home deaths. The AP story dropped before the broadcast networks went to air, but none of...

At the end of January, we learned that New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s Wuhan virus policies when the disease first hit his state killed approximately 50% more elderly people than his administration had first acknowledged. That information just got worse with word that one of his top aides apologized to the state’s Democrat legislators for deliberately lying about the nursing home death toll. They had to lie, she explained, because President Trump was after them for killing “everyone in nursing homes.” Within a very short time of the Wuhan virus’s accelerated appearance in America last year, it was obvious that...

Senate Republicans, including those who do not plan to vote to convict former President Trump, say this week’s impeachment trial has effectively ended any chance of him becoming the GOP presidential nominee in 2024. From the viewpoint of some Republican senators, the compelling case presented by House prosecutors carries a silver lining: It means they likely won’t have to worry about Trump running for president again in three years, while at the same time eroding his influence in party politics more generally.

Former Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley issued stunning remarks breaking with former President Trump, telling Politico in an interview published Friday that she believes he “let us down.” “We need to acknowledge he let us down,” Haley, who served in her ambassador role under Trump, said. “He went down a path he shouldn’t have, and we shouldn’t have followed him, and we shouldn’t have listened to him. And we can’t let that ever happen again.”

HB102 Passed the Montana Senate on 3 February, 2021, with a strong majority of 29 to 21 votes. The bill is scheduled for debate and a vote in the House on 4 February, 2021. This correspondent expects the bill to pass the House with the Senate amendments, and send the HB102 to Governor Greg Gianforte. Governor Gianforte has been reported as saying he wishes for this bill to be the first bill he signs as Montana's new Governor. The bill was extensively considered in a previous article. Reform bills with similar provisions have been repeatedly vetoed by Democrat governors...

Every year, Chicago police officers arrest hundreds of people for violating the city’s gun-offender registration ordinance, a law that requires anyone convicted of gun-related violence or illegal gun possession to go to police headquarters yearly and register their home addresses. But it’s rare that anyone is punished for failing to comply with the law, modeled on similar measures that were credited with helping reduce crime elsewhere. That’s according to a Chicago Sun-Times analysis that found most of those cases get dismissed in court — and that’s typically done at the request of lawyers representing City Hall. Take Devaughn Levi. He...
