High-level sources have indicated that Gov. Gavin Newsom is having a sexual relationship with one of his top aides, a Los Angeles news outlet is reporting. With California in the throes of the Governor-induced lockdowns and economic chaos, the revelation could sink the hopes of Newsom as he battles a growing recall movement. Many of Newsom’s other employees know about the affair and are prepared to leave the governor’s office, sources told the Los Cerritos Community Newspaper. The Governor, husband to Jennifer Siebel Newsom and father of four children, made major changes to his communications office last week to prepare...

THE KNIGHTS TEMPLAR continue to interest experts, who claimed they had uncovered a "place of power" used by the order and a possible clue that they were on the hunt for the Ark of Covenant. The Catholic military order was active for almost 200 years until their abrupt demise. At the height of their power between the 12th and 13th century, the Templars were among the most skilled fighting units of the Crusade period and managed large Christian economic organisations across Europe and the Middle East. But their sudden reduction in power inspired the rise of legends and has seen...

The remaining homeless people living along Echo Park Lake were given 24 hours to leave their encampment after protesters clashed with police Wednesday night. A heavy police presence was still in place on Glendale Boulevard and Park Avenue Thursday morning as a fence was put up to close off the park. Roughly 30 to 40 tents could still be seen scattered behind the fencing but the people living in those tents were told they would have to leave. LAPD later declared two unlawful assemblies and gave an order to disperse from Santa Ynez Street and Glendale Boulevard. Police said officers...

President Biden and fellow Democrats are using the tragedy to push for gun control.

Three years after the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act took effect, Democrats in Congress are ready to roll back some of the most critical reforms.The business tax cuts have been maligned as contrary to the interests of workers. In reality, the corporate tax cut succeeded at allowing new business investment, creating jobs, raising wages, and increasing the economy’s size.The economic history of the 2017 tax cuts should lead policymakers who are intent on raising the corporate income tax, or repealing parts of the individual tax cuts, to question their convictions.The tax cuts were intended to increase new investments in the...

What Does the Republican Party Stand For? There are specific policies that offer a clear alternative to where the Democrats are taking America. They are not ideologically driven, they are pragmatic. For two fleeting years after Trump was elected president, the GOP controlled the White House and both houses of the U.S. Congress. This level of one-party control for the GOP was almost without precedent. Apart from 2003-2007—the end of George W. Bush’s first term in office and the beginning of his second—you have to go back all the way to 1953, the first half of Dwight Eisenhower’s first term,...

President Biden holds his first official news conference since taking office.

A recent survey found that more than one-third of Americans overestimate by as much as a factor of ten the probability a person with COVID-19 will require hospitalization.Researchers involved in the Franklin Templeton/Gallup study asked Americans in December what “percentage of people who have been infected by the coronavirus needed to be hospitalized." The correct answer is not precisely known, the authors note, but the best available estimates place the figure between 1 and 5 percent.Many people’s perceptions of the data, however, were completely off.“Less than one in five U.S. adults (18%) give a correct answer of between 1 and...

High levels of “bad” cholesterol in the blood, which have been linked to heart disease, are still a health concern. But evidence shows people no longer have to be concerned about eating foods that are high in cholesterol. What’s changed is that many researchers and physicians believe that eating cholesterol-rich foods such as eggs may not affect the cholesterol that is in your blood. “However, people with certain health problems, such as diabetes, should continue to avoid cholesterol-rich foods,” says cardiologist Steven Nissen, MD. It’s complicated Is cholesterol good for you? Is cholesterol bad for you? It’s complicated. Cholesterol is...

The United States and Europe have agreed to relaunch a bilateral dialogue on China and work together to address Russia’s “challenging behavior,” according to a statement Wednesday from U.S. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken and the EU high representative for foreign affairs, Josep Borrell.

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s (D) administration issued a coronavirus-related “code of conduct” for student athletes this week. The document, which requires a student’s signature, comes from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS), the agency that took over issuing virus orders after Whitmer’s executive orders were ruled unconstitutional last October.

U.S.—Citing confusion around their past support for Black Lives Matter, Planned Parenthood has launched a new campaign, "Born Lives Matter," to make sure people understand black lives only matter after they've been born. "There was some initial confusion since our organization is responsible for ending the lives of millions of black children-- er, I mean fetuses," said CEO Iris E. Harvey. "It's important we clarify to the public that we didn't end any lives that actually mattered since only BORN black lives matter." According to sources, abortion is the leading cause of death among black Americans. According to Planned Parenthood,...

Imagine Christmas morning. A family of rather spoiled, bratty children plunge down the stairs grasping for presents. They see brightly wrapped, beribboned packages under the tree. Each scrambles to identify his. But when they’ve finished tearing everything open, each child finds only … dusty piles of charcoal from the backyard barbecue. Visualize their faces, as glee turns to sadness, then rage … then the sulking and tantrums that earned them the coal in the first place.You’ve just pictured what happens after a bloody mass shooting in America when the killer turns not to be a white male Republican Christian.After the...

Potemkin village: an impressive facade or show designed to hide an undesirable fact or condition. That's precisely what the Biden administration is up to by only permitting the media to visit "aspirational" HHS facilities housing children crossing the border, while denying media access to CPB facilities where the conditions are very bad. The deceit is too much even for Biden fan Mika Brzezinski, who on today's Morning Joe reluctantly acknowledged that the ruse is "problematic," and wondered out loud: "Are reporters being used to sell the best part of this? I mean, we gotta see what's going on. Not Nike...

Well that certainly wasn’t in the brochure! I recently saw pictures of kids from South America detained in cages complements of the U.S. Government. The sad faces of little 5 and 6-year-olds stuffed in cells, wrapped up in aluminum foil like baked potatoes and forced to sleep on the floor haunted me. One CNN report claims that the kids are, “terrified, crying and worried because they cannot speak with family members.” Welcome to the new America where we lure you to our shores, promise you a trip to Disneyland and then stick you in overcrowded facilities like animals. That’s called...

Author and former New York Times reporter Alex Berenson joined Fox Business to sound the alarm on the amount of power that Big Tech wields over the flow of information. Berenson slammed Big Tech companies like Facebook for wanting it “both ways.” Specifically, if Big Tech companies were utilities, they would not be held liable for “every bit of speech” across their platforms, but at the same time that would mean they “can’t censor anything,” Berenson said. Regarding opinions and factually inaccurate information, Berenson asked on the March 25 edition of Mornings with Maria: “Do we want these companies in...

Michael Yon and his associate, war correspondent Chuck Holton, are covering the illegal migrant trail from South America to the United States. In this 1:15 minute video, Chuck shows how the CNN Spanish language channel is a giant infomercial encouraging illegal immigration to the USA. Michael and Chuck are currently in Panama (where Chuck lives) covering the migrant caravan coming out of the Darian Gap which is a roadless and very dangerous area which must be crossed by the migrants between Colombia and Panama. A story about the migrants entering the Darian Gap from Columbia and other migrant stories can...
