No crowd. Those who showed up sound like they're jeering.

If the Atlanta shootings aren't about race but sexual pathology, it's an indictment not of racism but prevailing sexual attitudes among our elite.There’s something off about press coverage of the shooting rampage in Atlanta earlier this week. Nearly every corporate media outlet has framed the killings as a racially-motivated “hate crime” against Asian Americans, noting that six of the eight victims are Asian and the alleged shooter is white. Yet race doesn’t appear to be a significant motivating factor here, at least not according to the accused gunman, 21-year-old Robert Aaron Long, who was arrested Tuesday evening after targeting three...

Senator Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), the minority leader, cannot be as stupid as his words make him sound, but the alternative is worse than mere rank stupidity. On the Senate floor, he said: "Does anyone really believe the American people were voting for an entirely new system of government by electing Joe Biden to the White House and a 50/50 Senate? ... There was no mandate to completely transform America by the American people on November 3rd. ... Does anyone believe that millions of Americans thought that's what they were electing?" The real question is, did Senator McConnell, and his fellow...

In the Marine Corps, we don't have quotas, but we do have goals. And Marines accomplish goals," my officer-in-charge told me and a few other brand-new second lieutenants, each of us assigned to temporary recruiting duty while awaiting orders to Quantico. The captain then told us we had to sign up a certain number of college-enrolled racial minorities and females. No need to be too strict on physical fitness or academics, he said. Just bring them in. That was in 2009. Discrimination of this sort has been an ingrained yet lamentable part of the military's recruitment, retention and promotion practices...

The “esteemed” National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Dr. Anthony Fauci and CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky testified Thursday with other federal officials on the COVID-19 response. In an heated exchange at a hearing on the nation’s coronavirus response, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul pushed back against Fauci’s ludicrous claim that masks should be required for every American, including those who are already immune from COVID-19. “There have been no reports of significant numbers of reinfections after acquiring COVID-19 naturally,” Sen. Paul said.

Parisians piled on to trains in an exodus from the French capital today hours before a third of the country is plunged into a new month-long lockdown. Trains heading west to Brittany and south to Lyon were fully booked on Friday with platforms packed at the Gare Montparnasse as 12million people in the Paris region brace for the new restrictions. French PM Jean Castex announced the new measures last night amid a third wave of Covid-19 cases which has thrown Paris hospitals into crisis, with vaccines coming too slowly to protect large chunks of the population.

Ever since getting a big spotlight in the public eye, the National Institutes of Health's Dr. Anthony Fauci, billed by a fawning press as America's foremost expert on infectious diseases, has revealed himself a slippery chameleon or magician of sorts, constantly changing his recommendations and positions on public health in a bid to extend the coronavirus crisis as far out as possible.He's pretty well burned up all of his credibility with the public as a result, as New York Post columnist and Instapundit-himself Glenn Reynolds notes here, but he doesn't seem to know it. He continues his role as snake-charmer,...

Matt discusses tech elitist view of people as ants where they don't worry about how many ants they step on as they walk. This view was disclosed in a Project Veritas undercover video with Facebook executive Benny Thomas. Tech elitists are also working with the CCP to monitor all human activity. Coming soon to a country near you.

So, you believe in science, eh? Excellent, so do I. At the core of this science-thinking is the acceptance of the fact that there is reality. Thus, there are a finite number of things which are true and an infinite number of things which aren’t -- and our beliefs, opinions, and desires have no impact on this. All “science-folks” accept these as rather self-evident truths -- yet many of these same people also profess to holding liberal views -- even though modern progressivism is premised on many things which simple aren’t true -- which contradict reality. This isn’t a political...

There will be no Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in 2021. Organizers announced Friday the anticipated return of the mass event in 2021 “has been cancelled,” after it was initially postponed to October due to coronavirus concerns. According to a report published by Variety, once the move is officially confirmed it would be the fourth time the dates have been shuffled since the coronavirus pandemic began just over 12 months ago

At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, masks were discouraged. Dr. Anthony Fauci proclaimed them to be largely useless, later claiming he lied to the American people in order to stop shortages of PPE for medical professionals. Yet, was he right the first time? As we get more and more data on the issue, the answer to that question seems to be coming into view. New data out of Florida has thrown yet another wrench in the mask edicts of the federal government. Once again, when we are given an apples-to-apples comparison, masks appear to have no appreciable effect on...

Guess how an arrested PLO jihad supporter is presented? It is well-known that the New York Times slants its coverage of Israel – in its reports from the Middle East, in its editorials, and in the Op/Ed submissions it chooses to publish. Israel is so often the villain, the Palestinians so often the victim, In the Times’ presentation of the Arab-Israeli conflict. A discussion of the latest example of the Times’ bias Is discussed by Stephen Flatow here: “New York Times Covers Up for a Terrorist — and Smears Golda for Good Measure,” by Stephen M. Flatow, JNS.org, March 9,...

Editor's note: Below is Part I in a 2-Part Series on 'Lies in the Cognitive War Against Israel'. Part 2 will run in our next issue. Richard L. Cravatts, Ph.D., a Freedom Center Journalism Fellow in Academic Free Speech and President Emeritus of Scholars for Peace in the Middle East, is the author of Dispatches From the Campus War Against Israel and Jews. In the cognitive war against Israel, supporters of what historian Bat Ye’or called Palestinianism have come to accept the fact that Israel will not be defeated employing traditional tools of warfare. Instead, the Jewish state’s enemies, abetted...

It is safe to say that cold fusion, if followed through in all its implications, has the potential to unleash revolutionary developments in many fields of science and technology. Moreover, it is likely that cold fusion is only one of a much broader family of nuclear reactions – Low Energy Nuclear Reactions (LENR) – occurring in dense materials, which can generate energy without dangerous release of radiation and might be realized by relatively simple, compact devices. Judging from the ICCF-22 conference and relevant research literature – and disregarding various sensational, but dubious claims that continue to muddy the waters –...

The military government in Myanmar, in place after a coup provoked by widespread accusations of voter fraud plagued the country’s recent election, has now seized the bank accounts of George Soros’ Open Society Foundations.After taking control of the country in a military coup provoked by allegations of voter fraud earlier this year, the Myanmar military government has seized several bank accounts belonging or affiliated with George Soros’ Open Society Foundations, and has announced arrest warrants for 11 members of the organization in the country “on suspicion of giving financial support to the civil disobedience movement against the military junta.”

"Living in greater harmony with nature will require changes in human behavior." "There's a lot of folks who think that, due to climate change and due to the globalization in general, it is inevitable that we’ll deal with more and more viruses like this," Dr. Fauci told Meet the Press. The "lot of folks" in question include the patron saint of the pandemic. In addition to appearing on every single news show on the planet, Fauci occasionally co-authors papers. But "Emerging Pandemic Diseases: How We Got to COVID-19" in the journal Cell is less of an academic paper and more...

Other than interdicting the flow of children entering the country illegally, solutions to this crisis are hard to come by.Where is Robert Francis O’Rourke today? In June 2018, while running unsuccessfully for Ted Cruz’s Senate seat in Texas, he was outside the gates of the Tornillo facility for unaccompanied alien children (UACs), megaphone in hand. UACs are children who cross the U.S. border illegally and without a parent. There was nothing for O’Rourke to protest about the children’s treatment. Rather, he was protesting the Trump administration for enforcing immigration laws as passed by Congress. Today the Biden administration is activating...

Drug kingpins have waited their entire lives for this fantasy. I told you so. It's become crystal clear I was right on the money. I've said for two years now on my national radio show that the best thing that could ever happen for the Mexican drug cartels would be a Democratic presidential victory. Mexican drug kingpins have waited their entire lives for this fantasy. They must be singing, dancing and toasting champagne right now, because President Joe Biden is the greatest gift ever bestowed upon the Mexican cartels. Experts estimated the money made on drug trafficking by the cartels...

Hardly surprising given that the ever lurking Harris is acting as the president and calling herself president while Biden naps........... =================================================================== Joe Biden spoke for ten minutes about vaccinations Thursday, with his ever present handler Kamala Harris lurking behind him. At one point he even called her ‘President Harris’. Only around 1000 people bothered tuning in again via the White House YouTube channel: VIDEO AT LINK...............
