The Florida mansion where prosecutors say Jeffrey Epstien raped underage girls and women for many years has “finally” been demolished. Developer Todd Michael Glaser said the sprawling Palm Beach property met the wrecking ball on Monday, according to a report in The Palm Beach Daily News. Glaser bought 358 El Brillo Way for $18.5 million in March, and announced his plans to raze the property. The funds from the sale have been allocated to the Victims’ Compensation Program to make payments to Epstien’s victims, after the convicted pedophile managed to kill himself in a Manhattan jail in 2019.

GOP mayoral candidate and Guardian Angels founder Curtis Sliwa stood outside NYPD’s headquarters in Lower Manhattan Monday and vowed to fully refund the police department’s budget and crack down on disruptive protests if elected. “We’re going to refund the police,” he declared, surrounded by a clutch of retired NYPD officers at One Police Plaza. “Put that billion dollars back into the budget.” Sliwa said he wants the department to be back at 38,000 police officers. There are currently about 35,000. One way Sliwa has proposed increasing the NYPD’s ranks is by making Madison Square Garden and wealthy private universities pay...

The anti-American left have unleashed an all-out war against white, Christian, and conservative Americans. Ever since the election of Donald Trump, we have heard ad nauseam about the threat to democracy from Trump and his "enablers." Meanwhile, the Democrats plan to pack the Supreme Court, the Biden administration rules by executive fiat, and Big Business and the media — now firmly behind the despotic Democratic agenda — silence all dissent. The anti-American left, under the banners of equality, anti-discrimination, and inclusiveness, have unleashed their dream of an all-out war against whom they anticipate being the future minority of the country:...

I have lost heart for parade of horribles essay-writing. It's time to do something. Horrible people, horrible events, horrible ideas strewn like rubble across the charred landscape of this devastated constitutional republic. So many horribles, so few paragraphs allotted. Rip babies out of the womb and kill them? Horrible, check that one. Inflict hormonal disease on children because power-mad, God-hating adults treasure the delusion that they can lab-create a child of the opposite sex? That's horrible and creepy, too; check that one. The twirling kaleidoscopic horribles of the destruction of God-based, religiously informed morality and its replacement by ego-based, lifestyle-driven...

New study says the infection fatality ratio of the “deadly virus” has fallen from 3.4% to 0.15%…that’s plummeting 95% in less than a year With every new study, with every new paper, the “deadly” pandemic gets less and less, well, deadly. The most recent data review, published in late March, puts the infection fatality ratio (IFR) at 0.15%. That is, once again, pretty much the same as a normal flu season. The new paper is the work of Dr John Ioannidis, whom you likely remember. He is an eminent epidemiologist and statistician who publicly urged the need for “good data”...

Investigators say Key drove to a Cordova neighborhood hours later where he shot at a woman while she was holding her...

Police have released bodycam footage of the fatal shooting of Ma’Khia Bryant, but social media users want her to be remembered for her other videos – the ones she posted on TikTok.

In the 24 hours after her death, those videos were viewed hundreds of thousands of times. “This is how we want to remember #MakhiaBryant. Joyful. Beautiful.

Great Leap Forward sees broadband speeds surge, 99 per cent of villages hooked up, all for $6/month China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology had a busy Monday as it declared the country's intention to be both a manufacturing and a network superpower, and claimed progress towards the latter goal is illustrated with some seemingly odd statistics. Liu Liehong, Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, told reporters that China's 13th Five-Year Plan, enacted in 2015, delivered a great leap forward in networking capabilities. The minister claimed the Middle Kingdom has already "built the world's largest information...

Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders introduced a bill Wednesday to make college tuition completely free for families earning less than $125,000 per year – paid for by a tax on Wall Street transactions that would haul in $2.4 trillion over a decade. Sanders has introduced similar legislation for years, and touted it as a presidential candidate for the Democratic nomination. This time, his proposal comes with Democrat Joe Biden in the White House – and following negotiations of a Biden-Sanders Unity Task Force meant to bring wings of the party together after a divisive 2020 primary. 'In the wealthiest country in...

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has been mocked for claiming that climate change is a product of racial injustice, as she relaunched her controversial Green New Deal. The New York congresswoman on Tuesday spoke in front of the Capitol to promote her plan, which set a series of ambitious targets such as eliminating U.S. greenhouse gas emissions within a decade and transitioning the economy away from fossil fuels. Ocasio-Cortez said that climate change must be viewed through the lens of race.

More than two dozen angry protesters swarmed the Oklahoma House of Representatives chamber during a session on Wednesday to demonstrate against several bills that target demonstrators and trans girls.

Video shows the group chanting 'no justice no peace' and 'Black Lives Matter'. But others heckled legislators, with one screaming 'you are a f--king disgrace to the whole country!'

Counterfeit versions of Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine have been identified in Mexico and Poland, a spokesperson for the pharmaceutical giant confirmed to ABC News. "We are cognizant that in this type of environment - fueled by the ease and convenience of e-commerce and anonymity afforded by the Internet - there will be an increase in the prevalence of fraud, counterfeit and other illicit activity as it relates to vaccines and treatments for COVID-19," Pfizer said in a statement. A source tells ABC News a substance inside the vials of fake vaccine in Poland was a cosmetic product. Pfizer is working with...

“Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set. Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men” (Proverbs 22:28-29).

White House press secretary Jen Psaki said the fatal cop shooting of 16-year-old Ma'Khia Bryant shows police violence 'disproportionately impacts black and Latino people' during Wednesday's press briefing. She suggested the shooting was an example of racial bias after Columbus police released bodycam footage showing the teen lunging at another girl with a knife. Psaki had been asked if President Joe Biden had been briefed about the shooting that took place Tuesday, that happened around the same time as officer Derek Chauvin was rendered guilty on all three murder and manslaughter counts for last year's killing of Minneapolis black man...
