Sadiq Khan has conceded that, under his now almost five-year-long mayoralty, the streets of London are “not safe” for women and girls. Mayor Khan, who under the terms of the Police Reform and Social Responsibility Act 2011 fulfils the role of Police and Crime Commissioner in the British capital — excluding, somewhat confusingly for outsiders, the City of London, or Square Mile, which has its own police force — made the comments in an appearance on LBC radio. “London’s streets are not safe for women, are they?” the presenter asked the Labour politician, following news that a serving Metropolitan Police...

Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene Introduced ‘Protect America First Act’ To End Biden Border Crisis

A Hobson's Choice is defined as "an apparently free choice when there is no real alternative" You will remember that Derek Chauvin was the Minneapolis cop who was charged for the murder of George Floyd. The Hennepin County Da has taken the shotgun approach to the case, charging Chauvin with every conceivably connected crime that could be mustered in the hope that something sticks. Recently a third degree murder charge, which has been dropped, was reinstated. This indicates that the DA is not terribly confident in the case. There would be good reason for that. "I can't breathe" became the...

Move by Washington will make it more difficult for ISIS-Mozambique and its leader to fund the insurgency in gas-rich Cabo Delgado province The US government has designated the militants behind the Islamist insurgency in gas-rich Mozambique as a terrorist organisation and placed its leader, a Tanzanian national, on its terrorist watch list. This decision is significant and reflects how the new administration of President Joe Biden, compared to his predecessor Donald Trump, is moving fast to try to cut off funding avenues to militant organisations throughout Africa. The US State Department has also placed ISIS-Democratic Republic of Congo and its...

“Everything about this bill is rotten to the core. This is a bill as if written in hell by the devil himself.” So says Republican Senator Mike Lee about the Democrats’ H.R.1 election reform legislation that promises to make permanent the 2020 election’s unprecedented use of mass mail-in balloting — implemented with few voter authentication checks and done in the name of a health emergency — that miraculously placed President Popsicle (because he’s cold on the inside and 90% artificial) into the White House.Watching Lee fret about the Democrats’ planned takeover of elections is a bit like watching a child...

Wyoming lawmakers will continue to discuss proposed election changes endorsed by Donald Trump Jr. for their potential to undermine U.S. Rep. Liz Cheney, but not for next year as originally planned. A legislative committee voted Thursday to delay the proposal for what would be Wyoming’s first primary runoffs from as soon as 2022 to no sooner than 2024. Local election officials told lawmakers they wouldn’t have enough time to make both the election changes and required adjustments to legislative district boundaries next year. “It’s too big of a lift in a redistricting year,” Mary Lankford with the Wyoming County Clerks...

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Friday confirmed that she’s keeping Rep. Eric Swalwell on the House Intelligence Committee despite questions swirling about his relationship with Chinese spy Fang Fang, who seduced US politicians as part of her work. Pelosi previously reappointed the fellow California Democrat to the House Homeland Security Committee over Republican objections.

A conservative watchdog uncovered more compelling information about the 2020 election that may have cost President Trump electors in at least one state. The news comes out of Nevada, where over 92,000 mail-in ballots were sent to wrong or outdated addresses, with most of the problems seen in Clark County, which covers most of Las Vegas. Due to fears of COVID-19, the county sent mail-in ballots in mass to “active” voters on the voter rolls for the 2020 election. And as expected, Clark County had insurmountable issues with their election process. Dead people voting. People voting multiple times.

When former Clinton adviser Dick Morris was asked by Dr. Sebastian Gorka what he expected when Joe Headroom, aka Joe Biden sauntered to the podium in front of what must have been the world’s largest teleprompter. Morris said Biden would be the rooster taking credit for Trump’s dawn. That was a prescient prediction. Citing history from some parallel universe, Biden did not mention it was Trump’s Operation Warp Speed that produced the three vaccines Biden takes credit for. Science produced the vaccines, to be sure, but it was businessman Trump who mobilized the industrial, logistical, and medical supply chains that...

SOUTH BEND, Ind. — The Notre Dame Student Bar Association’s Diversity and Inclusion Committee sent a newsletter celebrating Women’s History month by ignoring arguably the most esteemed attorney the school has ever produced, Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett (who happens to be a woman). The publication pictures every other female Supreme Court Justice in the history of the country. There is no mention of Barrett, who not only graduated summa cum lade from the Notre Dame Law School, she also taught at the school for nearly two decades and was named the “distinguished professor of the year” on 3...

Antifa terrorists set the federal courthouse in Portland on fire Thursday night – AGAIN. The same media that breathlessly reported on the *unarmed* January 6 “insurrection” is completely silent on Antifa lighting a federal courthouse on fire.

In a recent Manhattan Contrarian article, my dad pointed out that, by their own admission, the worst racists in our country are academics in our elite colleges and universities. Even as they make more and more efforts to improve their “diversity and inclusion” with committees, trainings, seminars, course curriculums, and town halls — just to name a few — by their own assessment, this has only resulted in more “systemic racism,” “oppression,” and “white supremacy.” Since that’s the case, it is time to question whether the model of elite-institutions-practicing-diversity-and-inclusion can ever bring society even one step closer to racial harmony...

Next week, the California Department of Education will vote on a new statewide ethnic studies curriculum that advocates for the “decolonization” of American society and elevates Aztec religious symbolism—all in the service of a left-wing political ideology. The new program, called the Ethnic Studies Model Curriculum, seeks to extend the Left’s cultural dominance of California’s public university system, 50 years in the making, to the state’s entire primary and secondary education system, which consists of 10,000 public schools serving a total of 6 million students. In theoretical terms, the new ethnic studies curriculum is based on the “pedagogy of the...

New York State, which has embraced some of the most stringent coronavirus restrictions in the country over the past year, has reported more cases both per capita and in overall number than Florida, which has faced backlash from establishment media outlets and pro-lockdown politicians for its coronavirus policies, allowing businesses to operate and abstaining from a statewide mask mandate.

CLAIM: More Americans have died of COVID-19 “than in World War I, World War II, the Vietnam war and 9/11 combined.” VERDICT: MOSTLY FALSE. The total number of deaths in those conflicts, including non-combat deaths, is higher.

A female reporter has claimed New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, D., touched her inappropriately and made her feel uncomfortable in an attempt to impose his power on the young journalist, making her the seventh accuser to come forward with claims of sexual harassment against the governor. “I never thought the governor wanted to have sex with me. It wasn’t about sex. It was about power,” Jessica Bakeman wrote. “He uses touching and sexual innuendo to stoke fear in us. That is the textbook definition of sexual harassment.” The New York magazine piece written by Bakeman, titled, “Cuomo Never Let Me...

At present time, the United States' southern border is wide open. Unaccompanied alien children, single alien men and intact alien families are all pouring over en masse. Anecdotal horror stories abound: On Thursday, for instance, U.S. Customs and Border Protection tweeted: "Within 24 hours, Laredo North Station Border Patrol agents apprehended 111 individuals during 3 separate human smuggling attempts involving commercial trailers." This is a legitimate crisis, notwithstanding self-serving presidential obfuscation to the contrary. And it is a legitimate crisis entirely of the Democratic Party's own making. As this column has previously noted, CBP data evinced as early as last...

The Democrat-led House on Thursday passed HR8, a gun control bill that will expand background checks, with a 227-203 vote. Eight Republican lawmakers voted with the Democrats to pass the “Background Checks Act” that prohibits private firearms transfers without having a background check. It will require a gun registry to work. They also passed HR 1446 which allows tyrants to indefinitely hold back background checks. At the same time, these same Democrats blocked legislation that would require ICE to be contacted when illegal aliens apply to buy a gun... Steve Scalise announced on Twitter: House Democrats just REJECTED an amendment...
