At least two Yemeni nationals who were placed on the FBI's terror watchlist have been arrested in California after crossing illegally from Mexico into the United States.

The captures were made by U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents assigned to the El Centro Station.

AUSTIN, Texas (KETK) – Gov. Greg Abbott issued an executive order early Tuesday morning that prohibits state agencies or political offices from having a so-called “vaccine passport.” The order also prohibits organizations that receive public funds from requiring consumers to prove they have been vaccinated before they receive service. “Everyday, Texans are returning to normal life as more people get the safe and effective COVID-19 vaccine. But, as I’ve said all along, these vaccines are always voluntary and never forced. Government should not require any Texan to show proof of vaccination and reveal private health information just to go about...

‘60 Minutes’ falsehoods provide the perfect vehicle for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to prove that Democrat propagandists posing as the press deserve no heightened legal protection.On Sunday, CBS launched another attack on a conservative politician based on lies when “60 Minutes” peddled a conspiracy theory targeting Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis. If wise, DeSantis will use this latest attack to launch a counteroffensive against the corrupt media, by suing for defamation and challenging the standard for liability established by the Supreme Court in New York Times v. Sullivan.As The Federalist’s Mollie Hemingway detailed yesterday, “60 Minutes” ignored the real scandals...

Since Day One of the coronavirus pandemic, I have been warning and resisting of government control. Others, especially the left and their allies in the media, have criticized and castigated me for it. But time after time, I’ve been proven correct, both on the science and the danger to our freedom. A Democrat politician famously said, “never let a crisis go to waste.” Boy, did this pandemic really see them put their shoulder into that old axiom. From mask mandates to business shutdowns, from church closings to schools shuttered, there was very little in American life that was not impacted...

Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem Psalm 26Psalm 26 Of David. 1 Vindicate me, Lord, for I have led a blameless life; I have trusted in the Lord and have not faltered. 2 Test me, Lord, and try me, examine my heart and my mind; 3 for I have always been mindful of your unfailing love and have lived in reliance on your faithfulness. 4 I do not sit with the deceitful, nor do I associate with hypocrites. 5 I abhor the assembly of evildoers and refuse to sit with the wicked. 6 I wash my hands in innocence, and...

The girls avoid harsh penalties The two teenage girls charged with carjacking and murdering an Uber Eats driver in Washington, D.C., last month have reportedly reached a plea deal with prosecutors ensuring they won't spend any time in a prison facility. What are the details? The two young girls — ages 13 and 15 — allegedly attacked 66-year-old Mohammad Anwar with a stun gun near Nationals Park last month, causing his car to flip. Anwar, who was ejected from the car during the crash, was reportedly a Pakistani immigrant and father of three who came to America in 2014 "to...

Everyone knows why Democrats don’t want voters to show ID. It has nothing to do with racism, and everyone knows it. So why are we playing this stupid game?In March, Georgia Republicans amended their state’s election laws in a weak attempt to assuage voters disgusted with their enabling of the 2020 election circus. To punish their political opponents for requiring voter ID and creating an election season of a month long or more Democrats called up their character assassination squads.Democrats have been throwing every bit of pressure they can at Georgia elected officials to get their way without winning power...

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas told department employees he may restart border wall construction to plug what he called “gaps” in the current barrier. In a conversation with Immigration and Customs Enformcement employees last week Mr. Mayorkas was asked about his plans for the wall and he said that while President Biden has canceled the border emergency and halted Pentagon money flowing to the wall, “that leaves room to make decisions” on finishing some “gaps in the wall.”

Welcome to Upstream Reviews! Posted on April 1, 2021 | by robkroese For a while now, I’ve been frustrated with what you might call the mainstream institutions of publishing–particularly science fiction and fantasy publishing. The Hugo Awards have been a joke for years, WorldCon and most other science fiction conventions have been taken over by the pronoun people, and now Amazon is starting to ban books that don’t fit within their approved spectrum of political thought. Many of the more conservative-leaning (or simply open-minded) people in this industry have been trying for some time to shine a spotlight on the...

SICILY, ITALY — AstraZeneca changed the name of its experimental COVID-19 viral vector shot to Vaxzevria to help salvage its reputation and sales. Unfortunately the rebranding has not stopped what is quickly approaching genocide in Italy. Augusta Turiaco Facebook announcement Two more Italian teachers are dead after receiving AstraZeneca viral vector shots against COVID-19. Mrs. Augusta Turiaco received the first dose of the AstraZeneca shot on March 11, according to daily newspaper La Stampa. The 55-year-old Messina music teacher published a new Facebook profile photo that day, letting everyone know she was “vaccinated.” But the situation quickly escalated. Mrs. Turiaco...

... an old all-too-familiar thought popped into my mind: Please don’t let the perpetrator be Black. Alas, he was. And the beating was very disturbing. The perp, later identified as 38-year-old parolee Brandon Elliot, can be seen on the security camera video kicking 65-year-old Vilma Kari in the stomach and stomping repeatedly on her head.... She cites New York Police Department data to write, “a black New Yorker is over six times as likely to commit a hate crime against an Asian as a white New Yorker.” “In 2020,” she writes, “blacks made up 50 percent of all suspects in...

A high school in Oregon that was considering changing its mascot to that of an evergreen tree is delaying its vote over concerns about the image's potential ties to lynching. Ida B. Wells-Barnett High School in Portland was renamed earlier this year after a prominent black activist and reporter who documented lynching. The school had wanted to ditch its old Trojan mascot along with the name change and settled on the evergreen tree after input from students and staff who chose from among 420 possible choices. A vote on the new mascot was set to take place last Tuesday but...

THE WOODLANDS, Texas – Wyatt McGlaun, a teenager in The Woodlands, said he got Guillan-Barre syndrome a few weeks after his first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. “I wanted to get the vaccine. I felt it was the right thing to do,” McGlaun said. “I wanted to travel and enjoy my last summer before college.” However, he said, he got extremely weak and had difficulty walking when he was admitted to CHI St. Luke’s in The Woodlands where he was diagnosed. “I just knew something didn’t feel right. It wasn’t getting any better,” Wyatt explained. The NIH reports one case...

I have a friend who is fearful of commercial airlines. At the gate, before boarding, he asks the agent the following question: "What is the captain's name?" If the answer indicates the pilot is female, he will not board that flight. Any criticism of my friend's lack of confidence in any qualified aviatrix is answered along these lines: "She can't drive a stick shift. I should trust her with a Jumbo Jet?" My friend is right to be cautious about flying, but for different reasons. SNIP Affirmative action has eroded the efficacy of the air traffic control system to an...

A woman in Pittsburgh has become the first documented case in a living person of an unusual medical condition where alcohol naturally brews in the bladder from the fermentation of yeast. The condition, which researchers propose to call either 'bladder fermentation syndrome' or 'urinary auto-brewery syndrome', is similar to another incredibly rare condition, auto-brewery syndrome, where simply ingesting carbohydrates can be enough to make you inebriated, even without consuming any alcohol via regular means. In the case, doctors became aware of what seems to be a related syndrome, after attending upon a 61-year-old patient who presented with liver damage and...
