A Monroe County grand jury has declined to indict a controversial parolee who was facing felony charges for registering to vote illegally that could have sent him back to prison. The parolee, Jalil Muntaqim, was imprisoned under his given name, Anthony Bottom, for nearly 50 years for his role in the murder of two New York City police officers in 1971 before his release in October. The Monroe County Public Defender’s Office confirmed Tuesday that the grand jury last week “no-billed” Muntaqim’s case, meaning the jury declined to indict. The case is now sealed.

In a wildly hyperbolic segment about Georgia’s new voter laws, an MSNBC guest claimed that Republicans would have barred Jesus from being given a cup of water while he was dying on the cross.The shocking and vile claim came from Vanderbilt University professor and former MSNBC political analyst Michael Eric Dyson on Friday’s episode of Joy Reid’s The ReidOut.In the lead up to the statement, Reid asked Dyson about his recent meeting with President Joe Biden, and if he’s planning to push the senate to get rid of the filibuster so that they can pass more extreme legislation from his...

In high school I had a girlfriend whose parents were distributors for Amway, a multi level marketing company that sold lots of consumer products. I don’t know if it was part of the company mission, but they wouldn’t sell Proctor & Gamble products. Apparently her parents thought the company’s logo — a crescent man-in-moon and 13 stars — was a symbol of Satanism. The “boycott” was toothless but the company eventually changed their logo to letters but later brought the moon back and won a lawsuit against some Amway distributors along the way.In college, I met some demonstrators in the...

No mention of the vicious oppression, brutalization and slaughter of gays living under Islamic law. You can’t make this stuff up. Here is one letter sent to Teen Vogue: Have you read the Quran? Have you studied the History of Islam? Do you follow the news daily about your ‘religion’? Do you not know your ‘prophet’ and his ‘holy’ book condemns you and me to death on Earth, and a fiery eternal burning in Hell? Do you not realize your ‘religion’ has murdered over 270 MILLIONS in its 1,400 yr history, many of those gay and Lesbian? Do you think...

The prosecution told jurors to "believe your eyes" when they watch and hear about Floyd's final minutes. And video of the incident may make folks think this is an easy case for prosecutors. But the forensic pathology piece suggests otherwise. (Disclaimer: There is so much that could be written, discussed, argued and debated on the forensic pathology front, but I will touch on only some of the highlights here. As a warning, some readers may find the analysis and details below upsetting.)

Under drug criminalization, elites often get away with the same behavior that earns disadvantaged people harsh punishments.. Honesty is always the best policy. That is, unless you work in a low-level federal job for the Biden administration—in that case, it might get you demoted or fired. Young White House Staffers ‘Sandbagged’ Over Past Marijuana Use.. Dozens of young White House staffers have been suspended, asked to resign, or placed in a remote work program due to past marijuana use,” the Daily Beast revealed in an exclusive report. “The policy has even affected staffers whose marijuana use was exclusive to one...

Biden's press secretary Jen Psaki has stood by the decision by San Diego school officials to provide in-person teaching to migrant teenagers before children return to the classroom. Parents are angry over plans for teachers providing in-person instruction to migrant children while their kids have been stuck at home slogging through virtual Zoom sessions. Teachers from the San Diego County Office of Education as well as other nonprofit organizations started providing educational services on Monday to some of the 500 minors who arrived from Texas and Arizona over the weekend - a week before full in-person learning begins.

By now, you have probably heard that a rapper named “Lil Nas X” has just released a special line of “Satan Shoes”. The rapper’s real name is Montero Lamar Hill, and I am not familiar with his music at all and I don’t plan to ever become familiar with it. But this story is not about his music. Working with a company known as “MSCHF”, Lil Nas X took hundreds of pairs of Nike Air Max 97s and turned them into “hellish sneakers”. In particular, the fact that there is one drop of human blood in each shoe has really...

The results are in—and they overwhelmingly vindicate the free states over the authoritarian experiments. .. When COVID-19 first came to our shores, it presented policymakers and elected officials with a crisis like nothing in living memory. In the year since, states have taken markedly different approaches to pandemic policy. Some, like New York, embraced sweeping government lockdowns and top-down mandates while others like Florida and South Dakota took a more humble, hands-off government approach, trusting individuals to make the best decisions for themselves. The results are in—and they overwhelmingly vindicate the free states over the authoritarian experiments. First, we saw...

US Olympic Committee gets woke. Starting this year US athletes will be allowed to kneel, sit, hold a fist up, turn their back on, etc. when the National Anthem is played at the Olympic trials.

My video is shot from the right angle/side and captures the very moment when tons of lava spills out of the crater.

This is so funny, and by ‘funny’ I mean deadly, end times, super-serious and life-threatening kind of funny, if there is such a thing. Now that they have convinced half a billion people to take two rounds of the COVID jab, including people who swore last year they would never take it, today comes the ‘update’ that within a year all those jabs will be ineffective, and it will all have to be done over again. And again, and again, and again, I think you see where this is leading, don’t you? Let me break it down if you’re still...

As NBA ratings have declined over the current season, a new poll shows that more than 30 percent of Americans say they have watched less sports over political and social justice messaging. The poll, which was conducted by Yahoo News/YouGov, found 34.5 percent of respondents saying they have watched less sports due to social justice campaigns. According to the poll, 11 percent of people said they have watched more sports as a result of the social justice messaging, and 56.3 percent said they have watched the same amount. Looking at the different political party affiliations, 19 percent of Democrats said...

Representative Matt Gaetz, Republican of Florida and a close ally of former President Donald J. Trump, is being investigated by the Justice Department over whether he had a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old and paid for her to travel with him, according to three people briefed on the matter. Investigators are examining whether Mr. Gaetz violated federal sex trafficking laws, the people said. A variety of federal statutes make it illegal to induce someone under 18 to travel over state lines to engage in sex in exchange for money or something of value. The Justice Department regularly prosecutes such cases,...

A pregnant Catholic woman said she was escorted from the Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Dallas, Texas, for not wearing a mask and was later issued a trespass warning. “I mean, you’re going to arrest a 28-year-old nursing mom who’s already socially distanced? I mean it proves that it’s not really about the health. It’s just about control,” Deirdre Hairston told Church Militant. According to video footage of the incident, Hairston appeared to be holding a crying baby. “Am I getting arrested?” Hairston asks the officer in the video. “No, not right now. But if you don’t listen you will...

The weaponization of medical language emboldened white supremacy with the authority of the white coat. How will we stop it from happening again?

Gina Carano fired back at former U.S. Senator Heidi Heitkamp, who called the actress a Nazi while making an appearance on a late-night talk show. Heitkamp appeared on "Real Time with Bill Maher" on March 19 where the topic of cancel culture was discussed. Heitkamp, who served as a U.S. senator from North Dakota from 2013 to 2019, suggested that Carano was fired from the Disney+ show "The Mandalorian" because "she was a Nazi... she does hang with white supremacists." Heitkamp continued, "I suppose I'm now subject to defamation now [...] but we have to be really careful. There's two...

First Lady Jill Biden’s press secretary Michael de Rosa confirmed the "nip" in a statement to Fox News. "Major is still adjusting to his new surroundings and he nipped someone while on a walk. Out of an abundance of caution, the individual was seen by WHMU and then returned to work without injury." The encounter took place on the White House South Lawn Monday. CNN first reported the bite, adding that the employee worked for the National Park Service. Major was seen being walked by...
