The Minneapolis City Council, in an unbelievable move, given the powder keg on their doorstep, voted 11-1 to oppose the use of tear gas and other non-lethal munitions in response to civil disorder. It would be fair to wonder if someone dropped these 11 elected leaders on their heads as children. In the last 48 hours, we have had a sitting member of Congress, Representative Maxine Waters (D-Calif.), inciting violence if former officer Derek Chauvin is convicted of murder, and two National Guardsman injured in a drive-by shooting. The Chauvin trial is in closing arguments, and the jury is expected...

During an interview on CNN’s State of the Union, Boehner focused on what he thinks is the importance of reaching across the aisle. The segment began with CNN’s Dana Bash claiming there have been “47 mass shootings in the United States in just over the last month.” Bash provided no substantiation for the claim of 47 mass shootings. Instead, she just looked at Boehner and said, “Polls show that vast majorities of Americans support at least some new gun restrictions.” She then noted that gun control was not passed after Sandy Hook when Boehner was Speaker, and asked if gun...

"Every time she talks about it, she cries," a friend of the victim said.Newly surfaced video shows an Asian woman in her 50s brutally robbed at gunpoint in San Francisco in October 2020. The incident took place in the Sunset neighborhood. The woman, who only wished to be identified as Ms. Lee, according to San Francisco ABC station KGO, said the attack occurred after she arrived at her niece's home after having dim sum with friends in the Richmond District. Footage of the incident, which police are reviewing, appears to be taken from a security camera across the street and...

The Senate is working to wrap up an anti-Asian hate crimes bill this week as senators near a deal on changes to the legislation. The bill, introduced by Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii), will likely come up for a vote as early as Wednesday, a Senate Democratic aide confirmed to The Hill. "I'm optimistic we can finish our work on the anti-Asian hate crimes bill later this week in the same manner we started it, with an overwhelming bipartisan vote. And let me say it's needed," Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) said from the Senate floor on Monday.

While it’s not celebrated too widely outside of New England, Patriots’ Day (or “Patriot’s Day” if you live in Maine) is a big deal there, primarily in the state where the Battles of Lexington and Concord actually took place – Massachusetts. For anyone reading this from New England who isn’t aware: No, you’re not getting the third Monday in April off so you can stay home and watch the Boston Marathon. Even before the Declaration of Independence was written, there were the Battles of Lexington and Concord – the true beginning of the American Revolution. To be sure, this is...

Capitol Police officer Brian D. Sicknick suffered two strokes and died of natural causes a day after he confronted rioters at the Jan. 6 insurrection, the District’s chief medical examiner has ruled.

White House chief medical advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci said Monday it is “disturbing” that some Americans won’t take a Covid-19 vaccine due to political reasons. Fauci said those refusing to get vaccinated against the virus are the same ones who say the U.S. government is “encroaching on our liberties” by asking Americans to wear masks and implement other pandemic safety measures. He said the “easiest” way to get out of the pandemic is to get a vaccine.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Monday said Democrat Rep. Maxine Waters does not need to apologize for her incitement to violence that led to a drive by shooting at the National Guard. Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) flew to Minnesota Saturday to stir up hate on the streets. The verdict on the George Floyd case is expected this week and Minnesota authorities are bracing for massive violence once again. Waters urged violent leftists to “get more confrontational” with authorities. The Minnesota National Guard was fired at in a drive by shooting in north Minneapolis early Sunday morning — just hours after...

When the integrity of NH elections are questioned… there should be no compromises made regarding transparency when seeking answers. None. Election integrity issues should be resolved in an open, public process for all to observe. Unfortunately, it appears the Windham Board of Selectmen do not agree....

Rep. Steve Stivers (R-OH) announced Monday he will resign from Congress in May to lead the Ohio Chamber of Commerce, giving Republicans one less vote in the House and setting up the state’s red 15th District for a special election. Stivers, who has served in Congress since 2010 and chaired the National Republican Congressional Committee during the 2018 midterms, announced his resignation with much anticipation for his future.

When the history of the COVID year is written, the key feature - from a freedom perspective - will be how quickly Americans acquiesced to the imposition of draconian measures on American society by healthcare bureaucrats. And, those bureaucrats, no matter how stridently they proclaimed that we must “follow the science," turned out to be ignorant of what the science is. You will recall that initially President Trump suggested the use of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) appeared to have a salutary effect when used as either a prophylactic or remedy in the early stages of symptoms of COVID. The Left mocked and...

Most bishops now less resemble the apostles and more the Pharisees and Sadducees, trading moral and spiritual authority for worldly prestige and wealth.As many Christians can attest, and as Carina Benton details here, priests across the country are kicking out parishioners for not complying with their mask mandates. Sometimes, as Father Milton Ryan did with pregnant mother Deidre Hairston after she received communion at Holy Trinity Catholic Parish in Dallas, Texas, they will even resort to having law enforcement escort them out of the building during Mass. What’s more, many bishops fully support their priests taking such actions. In a...

Subheading: Policy could be paired with proposal to ban menthols; FDA must decide whether to pursue menthol ban by April 29 The Biden administration is considering requiring tobacco companies to reduce the nicotine levels in all cigarettes sold in the U.S. to levels at which they are no longer addictive, according to people familiar with the matter. Administration officials are considering the policy as they approach a deadline for declaring the administration’s intentions on another tobacco question: whether or not to ban menthol cigarettes. .... Nicotine itself doesn’t cause cancer, heart disease or lung disease, according to the FDA. But...

U.S.—A recent survey revealed that a majority of Americans are ready to get back to work. Even when asked if they realize that getting everybody back to work right now could increase deaths from COVID-19, most responded that they were willing to die if that's what it took to end the nightly parade of self-important late show hosts scolding them all for needing money from the comfort of their fancy homes getting paid millions to shame-Skype America. "It's like when you accidentally FaceTime someone you really did not want to talk to. That's what TV is like now," said...

In his first-quarter letter to investors of Greenlight Capital, David Einhorn lashed out at regulators. He claimed that the market is “fractured and possibly in the process of breaking completely”, as exemplified by trading in GameStop and Hometown International. Einhorn claimed that many market participants and policymakers have effectively succeeded in "defunding the regulators." He pointed to the actions of billionaires Elon Musk and Chamath Palihapitiya, whose actions earlier this year, helped fuel the Reddit rally in stocks, according to the value investor.

"He thinks I’m not Black enough. Seriously," Williams said after being told he wouldn't be a guest on the show. Panamanian-American journalist Juan Williams said a white TV show host dismissed him from discussing George Floyd's death and subsequent social unrest because Williams wasn't "black enough." Williams alleges the host is on the PBS-affiliated show "This Is America & The World" and that he declined to have Williams talk about race-related issues because he was born in Panama, not America. Williams, a Democrat, said he received a note from the show host telling him about his decision. "A white TV...

SNIP In a document called “Deshaun Watson’s Original Answer,” his side argues why there is no merit to the case now that it has the names of his accusers. It claims that eight of the plaintiffs “bragged about, praised and were excited about massaging” Watson; seven of them either offered to work with Watson or were happy to do so after the alleged incidents; three of the accusers lied about the numbers of sessions the two parties had; five plaintiffs said they were trying to get money out of Watson, according to people they had spoken with; five plaintiffs “lied...

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), in a series of tweets on Sunday, expressed his disagreement with former President Donald Trump’s statement applauding President Joe Biden’s plan to withdraw U.S. troops from Afghanistan after almost 20 years of deployment there. Trump called Biden’s decision “wonderful” and “positive” but urged his successor to bring troops home earlier than the announced date of September 11, 202
