Washington(CNN)US intelligence agencies still do not know "exactly where, when or how Covid-19 virus was transmitted initially" in China but remain focused on two primary theories, that "it emerged naturally from human contact with infected animals or it was a laboratory accident," the nation's top spy told Senate lawmakers on Wednesday.

Former North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory (R) announced Wednesday he is running for the state’s U.S. Senate seat that Sen. Richard Burr (R-NC) is vacating next year.

A top official at the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft is claiming the "Israeli lobby" in the United States is waging a coordinated effort to scuttle the Biden administration’s renewed diplomacy with Iran. Joe Cirincione, a distinguished non-resident fellow at Quincy, claimed during an MSNBC interview last week that special interest groups controlled by the Israeli government are surreptitiously working to undermine the Biden administration’s efforts to rejoin the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran. "There’s the Israeli lobby in Washington that’s very effective that’s pressing" against a new deal, Cirincione told MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan. Cirincione was likely referring to...

From a tourist destination and business oasis that once attracted some of the richest people in the world and gave visitors the illusion of glitz and glamour to a shithole overrun by gangs, degenerate drug addicts, disease-ridden bums, and people bent on destroying our city, Las Vegas now looks more like a third-world country than a place to put on your travel bucket list. Today, you can’t walk the Las Vegas strip without being bombarded by signs telling you to mask up and bizarre recordings telling people to maintain their social distance. But the so-called pandemic is the least of...

In accordance with the Montreux Convention, the Turkish Foreign Ministry was previously alerted via diplomatic channels that two US warships would be passing through the Bosphorus Strait in order to reach the Black Sea.

"Yes, the US embassy has notified our ministry about this," a Turkish foreign ministry source told Sputnik on Wednesday, regarding reports of the cancellation.

“He was doing a great job. I respect him dearly. I didn’t want repercussions at a personal level,” Brooklyn Center Council Member Kris Lawrence-Anderson said of her vote to fire City Manager Curt Boganey.As Mary reported earlier, Brooklyn Center, MN, saw a third night of the type of Antifa/BLM-led rioting and looting that occurred with regularity last year in the aftermath of George Floyd’s death.But as local law enforcement tried in vain to quell the chaos that erupted on city streets in response to the officer-involved shooting death of 20-year-old Daunte Wright, a different kind of chaos involving city leaders...

It wasn't an attack with a hypersonic weapon or cyber warfare, but it was targeted at the very heart of the United States. The first high-level meeting between U.S. and Chinese officials under the new Biden administration got underway in Alaska a few weeks ago, and America's standing in the world took center stage. In his opening remarks, China's top diplomat took aim at our country's deeply divided politics and claimed America was, in effect, an unreliable world partner and a declining power. For the past few years, whispers and secondhand accounts indicated that China was saying this behind our...

The concept of self-identification is an evil man-made concept by the Marxist Dimms to maximize the opportunity to divide Americans and create friction between these self-identified groups In 2021, America finds itself in an evil world where anyone can self-identify as anything they feel like identifying as. The reality of science, history, and God fearing civilized society can and is being totally ignored. A certain evil portion of elitist Americans have become so arrogant that they believe they don’t have to acknowledge the reality of science, history, or the heretofore standards of civilized behavior. It would seem that Satan is...

Moscow — Russia warned the United States on Tuesday against sending warships to the Black Sea, urging American forces to stay away from the annexed Crimean peninsula "for their own good" as the situation along Ukraine's border caused increasing concern in the West. The U.S. Secretary of State, meeting with Ukrainian and NATO officials in Brussels, made it clear that the Biden administration, along with its allies in Europe, has Ukraine's back and considers Russia's ongoing military buildup in the region "very provocative." The Turkish Foreign Ministry said on Friday that Washington had informed Ankara that two U.S. warships would...

The sign in the McDonald's showed what is wrong with society today. The sign read, "We are short-staffed. Please be patient with the staff that did not show up. No one wants to work anymore." Not only do people not want to go to work, they resent having to wait for their food because the McDonald's is understaffed. Pigs have better manners. The Sun story said, "Workers in the hospitality industry have been concerned about their own health and safety in the work place." That was a nice try to sugar-coat the pill, but the truth is millions of Americans...

Joe Biden’s Ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield on Wednesday trashed the US on the world stage. Linda Thomas-Greenfield told the National Action Network that if America is going to join the UN’s Human Rights Council, we must acknowledge our own failures.

Then Jesus told them this parable: “Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.’ I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not...

Joe Biden does not have the respect of Russian President Vladimir Putin, and as tensions with Russia increase that could be a dangerous thing. On Tuesday the Russian president snubbed Biden, who offered to meet with him as Russian troops gather near the Ukrainian border.

Claudia Webbe is a leftist member of the thoroughly Corbynized and radicalized British Labour Party (suspended for an issue I’ll get to later on) in Britain’s parliament. On Tuesday, she tweeted the following.That Naziesque tweet wasn’t a one-off. Webbe followed it up with a thread outlining why she believes the rich should be “abolished.”The British leftist left out a couple of things. One, the fact that as a member of Britain’s parliament, she’s rich. Two, Webbe failed to outline just what “abolishing” a whole group of human beings would entail.Would it mean merely the forced confiscation of their property? Or...

James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas released explosive video on Tuesday that showed CNN Technical Director Charlie Chester admitting that the network worked to get President Donald Trump out of office and that the network creates “propaganda” on issues they know little about. While explosive, the footage likely will not come as a surprise are many; polling has shown that CNN is the least trusted cable news network and is the most divisive media brand in the country. On CNN and its employees working to oust Trump from office, Chester made the following remarks throughout various encounters that he had with an...

Satiria, DC: — Bernie Madoff, mastermind of the biggest investment fraud in U.S. history, convicted of ripping off tens of thousands of people of as much as $65 billion has died in prison. He was 82. The news came as a shock to the Biden Administration who reportedly just days before had settled on a plan to pardon Madoff to head up the Social Security Administration. With the U.S. deficit swelling over the past six months to $1.7 trillion, and the United States spending nearly $660 billion more than it collected in March alone, the maneuver had been considered vital...

Proving again that Trump’s Republican critics are closet liberals, outgoing Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson shockingly sided with the Left to endorse transgender operations on minors. “Asa Hutchinson, the lightweight RINO Governor of Arkansas, just vetoed a Bill that banned the CHEMICAL CASTRATION OF CHILDREN,” Trump observed. “'Bye-bye Asa,’ that’s the end of him! Fortunately for the Great State of Arkansas, Sarah Huckabee Sanders will do a fantastic job as your next Governor!” Trump added. Sanders was the standout conservative press secretary of Trump who courageously defended him against the media onslaught. In merely one day the governor was repudiated by...
