A USA Today editor on Tuesday deleted a tweet following a mass shooting in Boulder, Colorado, that left ten people dead, including a Boulder police officer.“It’s always an angry white man. Always,” Hemal Jhaveri, the Race and Inclusion Editor at USA TODAY Sports Media Group, tweeted on Monday following the shooting. The following day, after it was revealed the suspect’s name is Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa, a Syrian immigrant, Jhaveri apologized. “I deleted a previous tweet that was posted in haste and poor judgement. My tweet was impulsive and an over-generalization, for which I apologize. That over-generalization does not reflect...

Clashes broke out Thursday night between officers from the Los Angeles Police Department and at least 100 protesters who were trying to stop police from clearing out Echo Park's homeless encampment. A newly installed fence surrounded the popular Los Angeles park Thursday after authorities moved in to evict residents of the large homeless encampment despite protests by the people who live there and their supporters. Only a few tents and about a dozen people remained by evening along the grassy banks of Echo Park Lake, where tents had proliferated for months during the coronavirus pandemic, sparking concerns about trash, drugs...

President Joe Biden misstated the reality at the U.S.-Mexico border and offered a misleading account of who's getting the most benefits from the Donald Trump tax cuts in his first presidential press conference. Biden took questions for nearly an hour Thursday, answering multiple queries from the Associated Press, PBS, The Washington Post, ABC News, Wall Street Journal, NBC News, CBS News, CNN, Bloomberg, Univision. He was grilled on a number of topics, including the situation at the border, the Senate filibuster, working with Republicans, his 2024 re-election plans and Afghanistan - but received no questions on the coronavirus pandemic or...

Images taken during President Joe Biden's first press conference on Thursday showed him using cheat sheets - which did not prevent him from misstating key facts and losing his train of thought at times. The 78-year-old Democrat is seen holding one sheet that showed the headshots of journalists at the press conference that he planned to call on. Another cheat card listed stats about infrastructure, but Biden was still forced to correct himself after mistakenly saying the US ranked 85th in the world in infrastructure.

On Thursday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “All In,” House Consumer Protection and Commerce Subcommittee Chairwoman Jan Schakowsky (D-IL) discussed the subcommittee’s hearing with the CEOs of Facebook, Google, and Twitter and said that the hearing’s purpose was to send the message to tech companies “That we’re going to regulate. We’re going to legislate.” And that there “have to be some limitations, not just on advertising

Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa, 21, bought his AR-15-style Ruger AR-556 at the Eagles Nest Armory in Arvada, about 20 miles southeast of Boulder, 9NEWS reported.

Denver students stage walkout to protest inaction on gun control by: Gabrielle Franklin Posted: Mar 25, 2021DENVER (KDVR) — Around 200 Denver Public Schools students walked out of in-person and virtual classes on Thursday as a way to push lawmakers to take action on gun control after the deadly shooting in Boulder on Monday. Students say they’re tired of mass shootings happening in their own backyard. “To see these kinds of things, happen in our community over and over again, it’s just insane that it’s been this long, and action hasn’t been taken,” said student organizer Hermela Goshu. They met...

......Joe Biden refuses to take the border crisis seriously. He put VP Harris in charge. Harris is “the worst possible choice,” says Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey. He’s right. Migrant numbers are at a 20-year high, and unaccompanied children in federal custody are, as well. DHS Secy Mayorkas says the “border is closed,” but just 13% percent were reportedly turned away last week. Biden says Harris as the “most qualified person” to assist countries needing help in stemming migration. Harris has carte blanche: “When she speaks, she speaks for me, doesn’t have to check with me,” Biden said. <><> Forget that...

Ahmad Alissa’s weapon: assault rifle vs. assault weapon by: DJ Summers Updated: Mar 26, 2021 / 06:02 AM MDT DENVER (KDVR) — The Boulder massacre has highlighted again the difference between assault rifles, assault weapons and non-assault weapons against the backdrop of new proposed weapons bans. ‘We can save lives’; President Biden calls for tighter gun restrictions following Boulder King Soopers shooting Gun control and mass shooting conversations are all about categories. Alleged shooter Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa’s firearm meets some standards for “assault” but none for “rifle.” Proponents of gun control legislation say every little bit helps, while opponents...

"Telluride continued to capture consumer attention and our network of dealer partners kept consumers interested in the brand and propelled Kia's sales growth."

The world seems to have gone nuts. People are seeing unidentified flying objects. The government confirms it. Sen. Marco Rubio claims UFOs are flying over our military installations. Pilots have videos of mysterious objects flying rapidly and making 90 degree turns -- something physically impossible for humans at the speed those objects are flying. They seem to defy the known laws of physics. Over the past summer, Americans watched other Americans burn down cities while reporters stood in front of the burning rubble claiming the protests were peaceful, but your eyes might be racist. In January, supporters of President Donald...

Scientists Find 500-Million-Year-Old Fossilized Brain The discovery of new evidence supports the previous speculation on 520 million-year-old human-old brain systems, provoking thoughts about the nature of brains, life, and intelligence in the cosmos. Soft, squishy, and delicate; brain and nervous system tissues maybe some of the worst candidates for preservation in the fossil record. In past years the best examples of the ancient brain and nerve structures have come from creatures trapped and preserved in amber that was a couple of hundred million years old. But a few years ago paleontologists claimed to have found evidence of brain structures in...

A reminder to our friends on the left who are fond of mocking us for mentioning the slippery slope phenomenon:it exists, and it is detrimental to the course of human events. Take for example the path of the progressive little white lie along that slippery slope.Bill Clinton: “Everybody lies about sex.” Hillary Clinton: “Everybody lies about emails (and other stuff that’s none of your business).”Hunter Biden: “Everybody lies about drugs (and other stuff that’s none of your business).” Mainstream Media: “Everybody lies about dementia (and other stuff that’s true but we don’t want you to know about or is untrue...

About that Biden “press conference”… – Well, it was exactly what I told you it would be. A clearly impaired elderly man, talking from note cards, stammering around as he tries to remember his talking points, repeatedly getting flustered even though the questions and lapdog questioners had all obviously been vetted in advance. The Sock Puppet-in-Chief obviously struggles to maintain a train of thought for more than about 5 seconds, and should not continue to be shoved out into public by abusive handlers like this.

Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem Psalm 15Psalm 15 A psalm of David. 1 Lord, who may dwell in your sacred tent? Who may live on your holy mountain? 2 The one whose walk is blameless, who does what is righteous, who speaks the truth from their heart; 3 whose tongue utters no slander, who does no wrong to a neighbor, and casts no slur on others; 4 who despises a vile person but honors those who fear the Lord; who keeps an oath even when it hurts, and does not change their mind; 5 who lends money to the...

Here is CBS News, setting the leftwing narrative about inconvenient court decisions to come. – Perhaps the single most successful aspect of the Trump presidency was the fact that he was able to appoint a record-setting 242 judges to the federal bench, including 3 justices to the Supreme Court. While they cannot always be relied upon to do the right thing for the country – as we clearly witnesses from those Supreme Court appointees in the wake of the stolen election – it is very likely that conservative judges around the country will soon be issuing rulings that effectively block...

President Donald J. Trump and his millions of supporters had high hopes for the process that was about to begin on January 6, 2021 in the Capitol Building. Starting at 1 P.M. that day and continuing over the next 12 to 16 hours in front of millions of viewers worldwide, Congress would begin an extensive examination of evidence presented by Trump's congressional allies of voter irregularities in the battleground states of Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Arizona, Wisconsin, and Nevada that they believed cost Trump the election.
