It is easy to become distracted in this age of information overload. We are bombarded with data input from sources both ridiculous and sublime. And every issue seems to be existential, or at least is cast in that way. Covid virus hysteria, China rising, budget-busting budgetary blow-out bills brought to us courtesy of a Democratic Party at the controls of all the levers of power. It is in just such times, with our country’s leadership, such as it is, juggling many balls, that our adversaries see opportunity. It is good, therefore, that we have folks like Dr. William Saxton and...

It’s probably a question I’m not allowed to ask, but I honestly don’t care. And the fact that it will upset a bunch of pearl-clutching leftists and gender fascists just makes me want to ask it more, and louder. But with all the talk from the left about transgender rights and how boys who believe they are girls should be allowed to compete in any sport they so choose, why aren’t there any stories of the opposite happening? Where are the girls in boys’ sports? It’s pretty easy to find stories about boys competing in girls’ sports, particularly track and...

ALBANY - On a Saturday morning last June, Charlotte Bennett was unexpectedly summoned to the Capitol to "staff" Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo as he worked in his private office. It was during the height of the coronavirus pandemic, and the governor was putting in long hours. According to an attorney for Bennett, who would later level sexual harassment charges against the governor, she was greeted by Secretary to the Governor Melissa DeRosa and Stephanie Benton, the director of the governor's offices - a role in which Benton largely serves as Cuomo's gatekeeper. "They said, 'Oh, good, you're here,' and brought...

Powerful computers 'mining' for the cryptocurrency Bitcoin are driving global warming as data shows they use vastly more electricity than all the internet tech giants combined. Bitcoin passed the $60,000 mark for the first time on Saturday, but its rocketing value again raises questions over the vast energy resources required to run machines that mine for the cryptocurrency, that some - including billionaire Warren Buffet - even consider to be worthless. On March 2, Bitcoin's estimated energy consumption reached its highest ever rate, hitting a staggering 130.90 terawatt hours (TWh) annualised. The following week... ...March 3 was at a rate...

Once the hub of Trump World in the US capital, with the former president gone it is in danger of becoming a white elephant by David Smith in Washington Sat 13 Mar 2021 22.00 EST 244 Once it was like a second White House for the Maga crowd. Now it is in danger of becoming a white elephant. Clobbered first by the coronavirus pandemic, then by its owner’s election defeat, the Trump International Hotel in Washington is reeling from a huge loss of income and prestige. For critics of the former US president, it is welcome proof of how quickly...

A donation site run by Ted Cruz was raising money by selling copies of "Green Eggs and Ham," which were signed by the senator.

"We've raised $125k in just 24 hours!"

Manhattan’s district attorney, Cyrus Vance Jr, the veteran prosecutor overseeing a criminal investigation into the former US president, Donald Trump, announced on Friday that he intends to retire instead of seeking re-election, opting against a primary fight with progressive candidates who say he is a relic and not a reformer. Vance made the announcement in a memo to staffers, ending months of speculation about his future and signaling it is likely to be a brand-new DA who sees the Trump case through, although Vance could still make a decision about charges before his term expires at the end of the...

A vigil for Sarah Everard, the 33-year-old murdered after she disappeared while walking home in south London 10 days ago, descended into chaos last night with police arresting women and dispersing the crowd. The home secretary, Priti Patel, demanded a full report from the Metropolitan Police, while the Liberal Democrat leader, Sir Ed Davey, called on Cressida Dick, the Met chief, to resign. Officers had removed women as they stood on the bandstand on Clapham Common, south London, surrounded by flowers. One held a sign saying, “We aren’t safe in our homes, how can we reclaim the streets?” Hundreds of...

“They were the martyrs of their daily bread,” the al-Laham family said in a statement on their official Facebook page on Sunday. The three had died, the family said, after “a local mortar struck their boat.” [...] Observers had suspected that a mortar or rocket launched by Hamas had unintentionally struck the fishermen’s boat, killing them instantly. Hamas regularly fires experimental rockets toward the sea, both to test their military capacities and as a show of force.

Someone on the FreeRepublic Facebook forum just posted that the payor line of the stimulus check bears Donald Trump's signature The Biden administration excuse... "I just wanted to get the checks out..." {HOW could a check issued THIS LONG after Jan. 20, 2021 bearing Mr. Trump's signature be valid? - Maybe he signed the bill into law as well, while they're still teaching slo-jo how to write in cursive????} IF it actually true, can anyone provide photographic proof of this MAJOR potential cock-up??? (AFAIK, this is NOT a goofy parody)

Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo will visit the early presidential proving ground of Iowa later this month on the heels of his February speech to a major gathering of conservatives in Florida. The former Kansas congressman will speak to a March 26 breakfast gathering of the Westside Conservative Club, which meets in the Des Moines suburbs. Future presidential candidates often begin cultivating the support of Iowa voters years in advance of the state’s first-in-the-nation caucus. Former President Donald Trump maintains a high degree of influence within the party and hasn’t ruled out running again. That has created potentially awkward...

Trans-gender activist and serial human rights complainer Jessica Yaniv is being accused of harassing Langley firefighters – calling them dozens of times to help lift her out of the bath. The fire department sent Yaniv – who sometimes goes by the name Simpson – a letter telling her she will face charges if she continues to ask for help getting out of the bath. “Since January 21, the Fire Department has received and responded to over 30 such calls for assistance, none of which constituted a medical emergency,” the letter to Yaniv states. “Further, we understand that during the Fire...

In the White House Rose Garden, where for four years Donald Trump raucously celebrated political wins with his allies, it was now the turn of Democrats to take a victory lap – masked and physically distanced, of course. Kamala Harris, the vice-president, heaped praise on Joe Biden for signing a $1.9tn coronavirus relief bill, the biggest expansion of the American welfare state in decades. “Your empathy has become a trademark of your presidency and can be found on each and every page of the American Rescue Plan,” Harris said. Democrats this week passed the plan into law; now they have...

Washington (CNN)When the Biden administration announced a ban on dozens of Saudis from traveling to the US in response to intelligence that the kingdom's powerful crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman, had approved the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, it was rolling out a plan that had been spiked by the Trump administration and brought back to life once President Joe Biden took office. Dubbed the "Khashoggi Ban" by the State Department, the measure issued visa restrictions on 76 Saudis and their families. The plan had initially been drafted by the Trump administration, which shelved it over fears of alienating the...

Joe Biden and the first lady, Dr. Jill Biden, flew to their home in Delaware Friday aboard Marine One after receiving criticism from the White House press corps about previous trips there on Air Force One.
