The Washington Post anonymously printed fabricated quotes, attributed them to a sitting president, and used those quotes as a basis to speculate the president committed a crime.On Jan. 9, The Washington Post published a bombshell report about what President Trump reportedly said on a phone call to the Georgia elections investigator. The headline was “‘Find the fraud’: Trump pressured a Georgia elections investigator in a separate call legal experts say could amount to obstruction.”A few days ago, on March 11, the Post quietly changed the headline and added this correction to the top of the story:Correction: Two months after publication...

Capitol Investigation Seeks to Criminalize Political DissentThe government's response to the January 6 melee isn’t about justice. It’s about partisan retribution and revenge. And the consequences will be disastrous.In the early hours of March 12, FBI agents in southwestern Florida barricaded a neighborhood to prepare to raid the home of one resident. Christopher Worrell of Cape Coral was arrested and charged with several counts related to the January 6 Capitol melee. Even though Worrell had been cooperating with the FBI for two months, the agency nonetheless unleashed a massive, and no doubt costly, display of force to take him into...

People on the terrorist watch list have been stopped trying to cross the border as part of the latest surge of migrants, congressional Republicans revealed during a trip to the border Monday, as reported by Stephen Dinan and Dave Boyer on The Washington Times. Agents reported having caught migrants from Yemen, Iran, and Sri Lanka amid the much larger numbers of Haitians, Central Americans and others.

Cancel culture feeds on apologies. The only way to stop it is to resist it, and Chris Harrison failed. ___________________________________________________________________ The Chris Harrison predictions have panned out just as expected. The next season of “The Bachelorette” is right around the corner, and Chris Harrison, the only host “The Bachelor” franchise has ever known, will officially not be part of it. “We support Chris in the work that he is committed to doing. In his absence, former Bachelorettes Tayshia Adams and Kaitlyn Bristowe will support the new Bachelorette through next season,” ABC Entertainment and Warner Horizon told the Hollywood Reporter in...

It takes no great powers of perception to recognize that Joe Biden does not serve as a fully functional chief executive in the generally accepted sense of the term. Instead, he’s the faded, propped-up, but familiar public face of some sort of opaque junta of handlers; trotted out as sparingly as propriety demands, seen just enough times to confirm the existence of a breathing human being residing in the Oval Office. It is the ruling committee’s hope that his gray, pallid countenance and slow, halting gait acts not as a detriment, but instead as public reassurance that nothing very radical...

A happily-married, financially-stable mom is justified in ending the life of her unborn baby, according to one advice columnist.Danny M. Lavery runs Slate's advice column, “Dear Prudence,” which answers readers’ questions “about relationships at home, work, and beyond.” This includes relationships in relation to abortion, as Lavery recently responded to the question “Should I Abort My Pregnancy and Tell My Husband I Miscarried?” in his column published on March 13. His answer, quickly summarized, seemed to be, “Yes, yes, you may.”To Lavery, the question wasn’t whether or not she should abort her “pregnancy.” His answer largely assumed she should –...

Hours after The Washington Post made a correction to its story that it had “misquoted” former President Donald Trump, the former President issued a blistering statement. The bad reporting from WaPo claimed Trump told Georgia’s top elections investigator “to find the fraud,” in December. The Post says this quote was false and they lay blame on an unidentified source. “Correction: Two months after publication of this story, the Georgia secretary of state released an audio recording of President Donald Trump’s December phone call with the state’s top elections investigator. The recording revealed that The Post misquoted Trump’s comments on the...

If you asked me my favorite food...I'd probably just say "sauce." Sure, it's kind of a bogus answer, but sauce is truly the main event of every good meal. What are fries without ketchup? Pasta without Alfredo? Wings without buffalo? They're nothing worthwhile if you ask me! Heinz seems to agree, because the brand has come out with so many unlikely sauce pairings in the past and their lineup will now include crazy innovations like Wasabioli and Hanch. You've already heard of their Mayochup and Mayoracha that blend mayo with ketchup and sriracha respectively, but these combos are way less...

A hearing of the House Subcommittee focused on anti-trust and monopoly abuses examines the role of the corporate media in these growing pathologies. There are not many Congressional committees regularly engaged in substantive and serious work — most are performative — but the House Judiciary’s Subcommittee on Antitrust, Commercial, and Administrative Law is an exception. Led by its chairman Rep. David Cicilline (D-RI) and ranking member Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO), it is, with a few exceptions, composed of lawmakers whose knowledge of tech monopolies and anti-trust law is impressive. In October, the Committee, after a sixteen-month investigation, produced one of...

Even far left outlets are demanding to know why on earth the Biden administration is fuelling a humanitarian disaster at the border... ---------------------------------------------------------- In a desperate attempt to avoid questioning about the worsening humanitarian crisis at the Southern border, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki claimed that it is President Trump’s fault that thousands of children are sleeping on concrete floored cages without seeing the Sun for days. As previously reported by CBS News, just under one month ago there were only NINE children being held in Border Patrol facilities, yet now there are over 4000. JUST IN: U.S. Border...

WASHINGTON, Friday, March 15. THE PRESIDENT'S HEALTH. There is a good deal of anxiety in Republican circles concerning the President's health, and the effect upon it of his manner of doing business. He has no system or method whatever, but allows his time and strength to be exhausted in listening to office-seekers, and doing other drudgery, which belongs to the Departments. Until Wednesday morning he had not even taken a ride for recreation. From 6 o'clock in the morning until long after midnight, he permits himself to be made the passive victim of the thousands who would readily sacrifice his...

It is more clear than ever that the Cuomo administration has been conducting a concerted, months-long disinformation campaign against the people of New York.If only Governor Cuomo cared as much about the truth and New York’s most vulnerable populations as it appears he cares about his book deal.For most of the past year, officials at the highest levels of state government have repeatedly and knowingly understated the death toll in nursing homes, made false assertions about how New York's situation compared to those of other states, and distorted the facts surrounding a policy that sent thousands of COVID-positive patients into...

Yaphet Kotto, an actor known for his performances in “Alien,” the James Bond film “Live and Let Die” and the television series “Homicide: Life on the Street,” has died, his agent Ryan Goldhar confirmed to Variety. He was 81.

In 1978, when I was 17 years old, I worked as an usher at concerts and sporting events earning $2.25 an hour, the minimum wage. I had to surrender about 15 cents of this meager hourly wage to a union I was forced to join. I could never understand what a union was doing to help me since the company had the legal requirement to pay me $2.25. I was infuriated over the principle of this confiscation by labor bosses I had never met. I wanted out of the union, but they told me I must pay dues to keep...

Pray For the Peace of JerusalemLambs, Sheep, and Shepherds Psalm 4Psalm 4[a] For the director of music. With stringed instruments. A psalm of David. 1 Answer me when I call to you, my righteous God. Give me relief from my distress; have mercy on me and hear my prayer. 2 How long will you people turn my glory into shame? How long will you love delusions and seek false gods[b]?[c] 3 Know that the Lord has set apart his faithful servant for himself; the Lord hears when I call to him. 4 Tremble and[d] do not sin; when you are...

Current Mood: Dark, very, very dark.You might even say ‘fowl’I’m sure I’ll snap out of it later, as I generally do. But it is more difficult when all the facts tend to bear out your inner dread. Specifically, these two stories; the first was posted by Sarah Hoyt: Were the lockdowns the worst public health decision in 100 years?Which she posted with a question “Only 100 years?” and a comment - “But hey, it worked. They got to steal the election and take over our government” - followed by another question:“How long will you tolerate this?”The reality is we most...

PARMA, Ohio — Two men were killed in a shooting outside of Rookies Sports Bar and Grill in Parma early Saturday morning—one of whom was working as a security guard for the bar, according to the Parma Police Department.
