The New York Times reported on March 27 that Syrian-born Colorado mass shooter Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa had been on the FBI’s radar before he murdered 10 people in a grocery store. “The suspect’s identity was previously known to the F.B.I. because he was linked to another individual under investigation by the bureau, according to law enforcement officials,” the Times says. According to a police affidavit, six days before Alissa shot 10 people to death, he purchased a pistol. That would have required him to pass a federal background check also run by the FBI. It seems the FBI is...

Luxury Manhattan building workers suspended for closing door on Asian hate crime victim after vicious sidewalk stomping By BRITTANY KRIEGSTEIN, MORGAN CHITTUM, THOMAS TRACY and LARRY MCSHANE NEW YORK DAILY NEWS MAR 30, 2021 AT 12:05 PM  An elderly woman walking through Hells Kitchen became the latest victim of an unprovoked anti-Asian attack, in a brutal, caught-on-video assault. A callous security guard at a luxury Manhattan building was suspended Tuesday after shutting the front door and offering no aid to a 65-year-old Asian woman kicked to the sidewalk outside and stomped in an apparent hate crime.

Of the countless lies the American people are meant to believe, perhaps the greatest is the myth of expertise. The American managerial elite confuses the ability to perform verbal gymnastics with omniscience. This is an old story. Unlike the many iterations of sophists and pharisees before them, ours deploy increasingly gnostic feminist and racialist rhetoric to replace the real skill of parsing complicated situations. We’ve seen this dishonesty recently with the GameStop event, and persistently throughout the Coronavirus response. Our experts have become clerics. In all cases, “reality” is “explained” by our Social Justice shamans, who bamboozle everyone with terms...

President Biden will outline his massive $3 to 4 trillion infrastructure plan Wednesday, which will create four tax increases worth around $1.8 trillion, the White House revealed. The commander-in-chief’s “Build Back Better” proposal, a centerpiece of his post-COVID campaign message, will be split into two packages for Congress to pass. The first, the White House said, will focus on infrastructure investments specifically. The second will focus on funding domestic policy areas of Democratic concern, such as providing universal pre-kindergarten and tuition-free community college, as well as health care.

ALFRED, Maine — A man charged with fatally beating his son's mother at Short Sands Beach in York is set to make his first appearance in court Tuesday. Jeffrey Buchannan, 33, of Bedford, Massachusetts, is charged with killing Rhonda Pattelena, 35, in a public attack that police described as a case of domestic violence. The horrific scene unfolded behind a rock on the beach, prompting multiple 911 calls to York police on Friday. Video surveillance footage from a nearby business appears to have recorded the alleged assault. Pattelena was already dead when police arrived; an autopsy concluded she died from...

The past year was very good security-wise. The low number of attacks and victims gave Israelis a relatively high feeling of security, and the intensive focus on coronavirus (and elections) pushed aside other issues that in normal times would have made headlines. But the security challenges are here to stay. The new government, when it is formed, will not be able to avoid them, and top of the list is Iran. Behind the scenes, preparations are already underway for these marathon discussions, which take place mainly within the IDF, and specifically in the new unit formed last year to deal...

In a press briefing on Monday, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki claimed the Democrat is not actually in charge of the border crisis. Instead, she said Harris is only in charge of its purported “root causes.” This clarification came after Biden appointed Harris as his so-called “border czar” by making her the White House’s point person on immigration issues at the U.S.-Mexico border. However, Psaki said there is “some confusion” over Biden’s announcement. “I don’t have an update on her (Harris) travel, but since you gave me the opportunity it’s important to understand and know that she is focused...

Joe Biden's first press conference as president this week was style over substance. He took advantage of softball questions from friendly media to run through a list of Democratic talking points. It was reminiscent of another president who infamously emphasized style over substance: Jimmy Carter. In fact, Biden's presidency is in many respects the modern reincarnation of Carter's.

The season for tricks and practical jokes is just around the corner. If you're thinking of ways to bamboozle your friends, here is a potential idea. Specialising in gourmet cookies, homegrown brand Nasty Cookie has recently released their limited edition Cookie Nuggets which look uncannily similar to its popular fast food twin. The 'nuggets' are actually Nasty Cookie's signature chocolate chip cookies that have been moulded into super realistic-looking chicken nuggets with a 'breaded' exterior to complete the look. Each set is going for $5 and comes with six pieces of cookies as well as a creamy Speculoos dip that...

Conservatives are failing to preserve marriage and family. Fewer people in each generation are marrying, and, though fewer are having children, an increasing number of children are born out of wedlock. To fix this, we need to take an honest look at the shortcomings of the conservative movement. Marriage is at the heart of family. Intact families are more likely to raise children to honorable, productive adulthood. Married people are “happier, healthier, and better off financially,” as one recent book on the topic argues. Nevertheless, more and more people are forgoing family life or watching the opportunity slip by. Men...

Where are the election reforms in PA that GA has passed?

Common kitchen wisdom dictates that hard-boiled eggs must be “shocked” in an ice bath to stop the cooking process and make them easier to peel, but only half of this is true, and the other half can be easily mitigated, meaning you can leave the ice in the freezer. Plunging hot eggs into a bowl of ice water has absolutely no affect on their peel-ability. I know this because I have recently been cooking and eating a massive number of hard-boiled eggs, and nary an ice cube has been used to accomplish their peeling. The only water temperature that affects...

PITTSBURGH — Three Pittsburgh residents conspired to provide false information on Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA) applications and fraudulently submit PUA claims on behalf of at least 90 people, according to the state Attorney General. “These defendants took advantage of a program meant for everyday people whose lives were uprooted by COVID-19 to steal hundreds of thousands of dollars from all of us,” said Attorney General Josh Shapiro. “We are working overtime to track down people who undermine the public by breaking the law and committing fraud.” Linda Slade, 51, Dr. Rochelle Oaks, 66, and Keith Brown, 53, were each charged...

PayPal, which last year added the ability to buy, hold and sell cryptocurrency, is pushing it as a payment method across the 29 million or so online merchants connected to the fintech giant. Announced Tuesday, PayPal’s Checkout will allow bitcoin (BTC), ether (ETH), bitcoin cash (BCH) and litecoin (LTC) to be seamlessly converted into U.S. dollars or other fiat currencies when making purchases, the same as credit card or a debit card would work inside a PayPal wallet, said PayPal – meaning merchants will not actually be the recipients of cryptocurrencies. Though the payments giant had said last year it...

I know this is from January, but I'm encouraged by those that continue to work to expose the truth. There are many organizations in Michigan, which I'm a part of a few, that are working hard to expose the fraud and the intentional breaking of election laws, on and prior to election day. We have to continue to share information that sheds the light on these very important issues, with each of our "sphere's of influence". We all have them.

Iran has rejected President Joe Biden’s reported compromise proposal for a partial nuclear deal before he has even offered it. As Breitbart News noted earlier Tuesday, Politico reported Monday that Biden was preparing to offer Iran partial relief from sanctions in exchange for a partial suspension of nuclear activity:

South Americans Genetically Linked to Australasians March 29, 2021 | David F. Coppedge Genetic evidence shows South Americans are genetically connected with Asians and Australians. A genetic research program published in PNAS (March 29, 2021) reveals “waves of migration” from Australia to South America. Different models have been proposed to elucidate the origins of the founding populations of America, along with the number of migratory waves and routes used by these first explorers. Settlements, both along the Pacific coast and on land, have been evidenced in genetic and archeological studies. However, the number of migratory waves and the origin of...

Whites were slaves in North Africa before Blacks were slaves in America so, who owes whom reparations?DISCLAIMER FOR THE EASILY TRIGGERED: Slavery is wrong. I make no apologies for it. None of the research presented herein is intended to lessen the injustice of African slavery in America or slavery in any incarnation.
