A Republican congressman who voted to impeach former President Donald Trump is being recruited to run for New York governor next year, according to people briefed on the matter.

The jury hearing the case against former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin soon will get the case amid the chaos of news conferences, protests, and riots happening outside as PJ Media reported. Every day, jurors pass boarded-up windows, step past the fencing meant to keep out rioters and looters, and walk the gauntlet of National Guard troops and armored vehicles to make their way safely into the courthouse to listen to another day of testimony. The jurors’ faces have never been shown on the three-camera video feed from the courtroom, not even during jury selection. No one knows who they...

Raul Castro is stepping down as the head of the Communist Party of Cuba, the most powerful position on the island, with few expectations of significant change among Cubans. It is however, a historic move — Castro and his late brother, Fidel Castro, have been in power since the 1959 revolution. The Communist Party’s eighth congress will begin Friday when it will certify President Miguel Díaz-Canel as the next party secretary-general and set policy guidelines. Raul Castro had said in 2018 he expected Díaz-Canel to replace him after his retirement in 2021. Díaz-Canel, 60, represents a new generation and is...

THE FEELING IN WASHINGTON. WASHINGTON, Monday, April 15. The excitement here is much less marked than yesterday, although every group on the street, or elsewhere, manifests deep interest in each succeeding rumor relative to affairs in the South and Border States. The people appear to have fully accepted the issue tendered by South Carolina, and are hourly knitting together more firmly in the resolution to sustain the Government. The excessive excitement which followed the first announcement of the bombardment and reduction of Sumter is succeeded by a more calm and settled appreciation of the great fact that civil war is...

Mainstream media is utter garbage. That's it. That's the message. The entire purpose of a free press is to allow the truth to come out. In modern day America, mainstream media works against this notion and proactively works to subvert the truth with their reporting. In the case of CBS News coverage of the police shooting of 13-year-old Adam Toledo, the dishonesty on their part is striking. They intentionally edited out the part of the video that shows a gun in Toledo’s hand just prior to being shot. We know it was intentional because the rest of the video edit...

On Thursday’s broadcast of CNN’s “Cuomo Primetime,” host Chris Cuomo scolded Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) for not wearing a mask even though Cruz has been vaccinated, by saying that vaccinated people can still get infected because the vaccines don’t provide 100% protection against infection. Cuomo also stated that even though an extremely small percentage of the vaccinated population have gotten infected, “the only way to keep the number down is to listen to science. They all know it. They’re just playing politics, and people are dying.”

Anybody who’s taking Dr. Anthony Fauci seriously probably needs to stop doing so. He endlessly moves the goalposts to maintain his unlimited power over the American people, something Democrats support. That’s why, on Thursday, during House testimony, Rep. Maxine Watters (who is a low-rent harridan) tried to shut down Rep. Jim Jordan’s efforts to get Fauci to say when enough Americans will be vaccinated so that COVID restrictions can end.The past year has shown that Fauci either has no idea what he’s talking about or is trying to advance an agenda that invariably has to do with maintaining the 2020...

A federal judge has extended the temporary suspension of Joe Biden’s 100-day moratorium on deportations. "The Court may ultimately be persuaded by the Defendants’ arguments, but any harm they might incur between now and then does not outweigh the potential for irreparable harm to Texas,'' U.S. District Court Judge Drew Tipton in the Southern District of Texas wrote. The administration "argued that the 100-day pause on removals is necessary to allow" them to look into "important immigration, foreign policy, and humanitarian considerations," the order stated.

The radical-leftist-billionaire-fearmonger Bill Gates is working with scientists to determine if they can control temperatures by spraying chemicals into the atmosphere to partially block the sun. Here's the news item:A Bill Gates Venture Aims To Spray Dust Into The Atmosphere To Block The Sun. What Could Go Wrong?Microsoft’s MSFT +1% billionaire founder Bill Gates is financially backing the development of sun-dimming technology that would potentially reflect sunlight out of Earth’s atmosphere, triggering a global cooling effect.

Mahmoud Abbas originally thought it was a good idea. There was a new administration in Washington, one most favorably inclined to the Palestinians. The Biden people were ready to undo what the “unfriendly” Trump Administration had done. Trump had closed the PLO office in Washington, Biden promised to open it. Trump had folded the consulate to the Palestinians in east Jerusalem into the Embassy in Jerusalem; Biden promised to reopen it. Trump had ended both direct aid to the Palestinians and American contributions to UNRWA. Biden announced that he was again turning on the spigot of aid, starting with a...

Barney Harris, a basketball coach at Union Academy in Monroe, was well-loved and respected, but Alamance County Sheriff Terry Johnson said, on the side, Harris was involved in the "dangerous and deadly" drug world. "I can tell you right now, when we are dealing with the Mexican drug cartel, someone is going to die as a result of this," Johnson said. Police said Harris and his brother-in-law Steven Alexander Stewart, of...

In a discussion with associates on Tuesday, Yamina chairman Naftali Bennett spoke candidly about his political plans, which, according to media reports, he is closely coordinating with New Hope party leader Gideon Sa’ar. Both Bennett and Sa’ar hail from the ideological right and both are outspoken opponents of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and seek to unseat him as premier. Although Bennett refused to recommend that President Reuven Rivlin confer the mandate to form a government on Netanyahu last week, he has made clear that he will join a Netanyahu-led governing coalition if Netanyahu is able to secure the two seats...

The Biden administration is increasingly desperate in the face of the migration crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border that Biden’s progressive open-door policies have created. Illegal unaccompanied minors are flooding into this country, overwhelming available government resources to shelter and care for them. The Biden administration is already reportedly spending more than $60 million a week to house these minors now in federally run shelters. Many more are illegally crossing the border every day and are being added to the thousands allowed to remain in the United States. What “creative” solutions has the Biden administration come up with to deal with...

Every time I look at Mohammad Anwar's photo, I cry. I've not read his bio on the web. I can't find his bio on the web. The Wikipedia page devoted to Anwar is all of 258 words long. Everything I know about him, I see in his photo. Mohammad Anwar looks his age – 66. He is bald on top with black hair at the sides of his head. He wears heavy, black-framed glasses. He has a prominent nose and a bushy mustache. He is wearing a dignified gray suit, gray shirt, and gray tie. There's just one restrained accent...

In 1946, George Kennan, then-deputy chief of mission in Moscow warned: "Efforts will be made in such countries to disrupt national self-confidence, to hamstring measures of national defense, to increase social and industrial unrest, to stimulate all forms of disunity. All persons with grievances, whether economic or racial, will be urged to spelt redress not in mediation and compromise, but in defiant violent struggle for destruction of other elements of society. Here poor will be set against rich, black against white, young against old, newcomers against established residents." In order to transition to a more perfect disunion, anything goes and...
