Portland, OR — Multiple members of the domestic terrorist group Antifa have been arrested in Portland in recent weeks. The violence continues to persist in the city where Democrats would like you to believe there is nothing but “mostly peaceful protests.” Apparently, the arrests have upset some of the Antifa members as their names are being outed in the media.One case is that of Jacob Camello, who identifies as female, and was arrested for rioting and destroying businesses in the Portland area. Journalist Andy Ngo shared the information about the arrest. Jacob was upset about it in a post after...

Meanwhile, the world will giggle and dance its way past Border Czar Kamala Harris, who—even if she someday gets to replace Joe Biden—will never be America’s Superhero President. Having no little ones of her own, but only adult step children through her husband, Kamala Harris doesn’t realize that children spot a phoney smile whenever it’s flashed their way. Long a Legend in Her Own Mind Kids can’t be fooled by politicians, only adults can. Thirty-Two days after their arrival in America, ‘Border Czar’ Harris can’t be bothered to see how kids in cages are doing health and care wise, but...

President Joe Biden earned one of the lowest approval ratings among presidents in the modern era during his first 100 days in office, according to a new poll. What are the details? The ABC News/Washington Post poll, conducted April 18 to April 21, found that Biden's approval rating stands at a paltry 52%, far below expectations that Democrats had for the new president they predicted would be a mostly unifying figure. In fact, Biden's approval rating is "lower than any president at 100 days in office since 1945," according to ABC News. Only Gerald Ford, who was publicly damaged by...

Fourth Sunday of Easter John 10:11-18 Friends, the image of God as shepherd is a classic one in the Bible. In the book of the prophet Ezekiel, we hear that God would one day come and shepherd Israel himself. Shepherds guarded, guided, protected, and watched over their flocks—just as God guards, guides, protects, and watches over Israel. This image comes to a climactic expression in the words of Jesus: “I am the good shepherd.” What precisely makes him good? A good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. The good shepherd is so other-oriented, so devoted to his sheep,...

(Natural News) As the covid-19 scandal continues, authorities are increasingly using censorship and intimidation tactics to control the narrative and shut down the truth. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is taking censorship to a whole new level and is targeting anyone who promotes a healthy immune system to combat SARS-CoV-2. The FTC recently charged a St. Louis man for making fraudulent claims about covid-19. The FTC is charging Eric Nepute and Quickwork LLC in a federal court for the heinous crime of advertising zinc and vitamin D to combat covid-19. Nepute is charged with ten counts of violating the Covid-19...

During a town hall on CNN on Friday, White House National Climate Adviser Gina McCarthy said that electric vehicles will become cheaper “when more are sold” and that we have to help consumers with either direct rebates or tax incentives. McCarthy said, “The American Jobs Plan and the work that we’re doing to address our greenhouse gas emissions are really going to speak to this very issue. Because it’s not about sacrifice. It is about working with our manufacturing sector to revise it — to revive it. It’s about actually building batteries in the U.S. so the cost goes down....

Every time I turned on the television to get an update on the George Floyd murder case, the very first thing I saw was Al Sharpton at the podium playing master of Ceremonies. It made me want to throw up. What’s up with that guy? What makes him think that we always want to hear his mouth every time we turn on the television set? . Sharpton never fails to turn the most sober occasion into a three-ring circus. That’s his thing. He’s a hearse chaser who never had a real job. He’ll preach, he’ll snitch for the FBI, or...

The crisis at our southern border – due to the incompetent policies of Joe Biden (allegedly) – is no laughing matter. Only in Biden’s brain would it make sense to put Kamala Harris and her nervous laughing tick in charge to fix it. Seriously, the lady needs to read the room once in a while. As the southern border continues to be visited by tens of thousands of illegal immigrants, one person who will not be visiting is Kamala Harris. She says it’s not her job. But while she won’t bother to physically be there, she will be there in...

About 800,000 years ago in what is now Spain, cannibals devoured an early human child who became known as "The Boy of Gran Dolina." But new analysis of these ancient remains has revealed a surprising twist: the child was a girl.The child was a Homo antecessor, an early hominin species that lived in Europe between 1.2 million and 800,000 years ago. Discovered in 1994 in the Gran Dolina cave in northern Spain's Atapuerca Mountains, the species is known primarily from fragments of bones and teeth, which hampered researchers' efforts to determine the sex of H. antecessor individuals.Recently, scientists... examined teeth...

Wind and solar energy are both essentially obsolete technologies. There is a reason why only the very rich or the very adventurous sail across oceans: the wind is unreliable, and at best produces relatively little energy. Nevertheless, liberals have concocted fantasies whereby all of our electricity, or perhaps our entire economy, will be powered by those fickle sources. There are a number of reasons why this will never happen, but a paper published last week by Center of the American Experiment argues that land use constraints are the most basic reason why wind and solar are inexorably destined to fail....

An ancient coronavirus, or a closely related pathogen, triggered an epidemic among ancestors of present-day East Asians roughly 25,000 years ago, a new study indicates.Analysis of DNA from more than 2,000 people shows that genetic changes in response to that persistent epidemic accumulated over the next 20,000 years or so, David Enard, an evolutionary geneticist at the University of Arizona in Tucson, reported April 8 at the virtual annual meeting of the American Association of Physical Anthropologists. The finding raises the possibility that some East Asians today have inherited biological adaptations to coronaviruses or closely related viruses.The discovery opens the...

Rep. John Katko is facing a serious threat to his political future after Onondaga County Conservative Party members decided they will no longer support the four-term Republican. The party committee said it won’t endorse Katko next year because of his January vote to impeach Donald Trump and other recent votes supporting measures opposed by conservatives. “While we believe he is acting in what he feels best represents the needs and wants of his constituents, it is clear that he no longer accepts or supports the values we hold dear,” the Onondaga County Conservative Party said in a statement. “We will...

. Even as the Derek Chauvin case was fresh in memory — the reading of the verdict in a Minneapolis courtroom, the shackling of the former police officer, the jubilation at what many saw as justice in the death of George Floyd — even then, blood flowed on America’s streets. And some of that blood was shed at the hands of law enforcement. At least six people were fatally shot by officers across the United States in the 24 hours after jurors reached a verdict in the murder case against Chauvin . The roll call of the dead is distressing:...

Archaeologists in Corsica have uncovered a necropolis containing some 40 tombs dating from the 3rd to the 6th century.The surprise discovery, at an excavation site in the town of Ile-Rousse, on the western coast, consisted of bodies mostly buried in African [sic] amphorae, or cylindrical jars, from Tunisia...Since late February, French archaeologists have been excavating two sites in the centre of the town, both about 600 m2.Amphorae – often used to import wine, olive oil and brine from Carthage between the 4th and 7th centuries – was used as "receptacles for the deceased", the institute said.While burial within these large...

There is an assumption in America that new political leaders across the world campaigning against long-term incumbents or establishments must, naturally, share the full spectrum of western, liberal and democratic values cherished in Washington D.C.The premise is as dangerous as it is mistaken. Recent decades are scattered with “great western hopes” that have not only disappointed when they finally reached office - but even turned out worse than those they replaced, with civil unrest, rollbacks of human rights, and severe deterioration in the lives of minorities.There is Aung San Suu Kyi. Once named by TIME Magazine as one of the...

The 16th of January 378 C.E. marked a turning point in ancient Maya history. On that day, foreigners arrived in the Maya city of Tikal—in what is now northern Guatemala—and Tikal's king died. Shortly thereafter, the son of the conquering king became Tikal's new ruler.Many archaeologists think these invaders came from Teotihuacan, a metropolis 1000 kilometers away, near what is now Mexico City, famed for its imposing pyramids and sweeping central avenue. But a new discovery in Tikal reveals Teotihuacan may have had an outpost in the Maya city long before possibly conquering it. That bolsters the idea that Teotihuacan’s...

Thousands of anti-lockdown protesters marched through London on Saturday, railing against the coronavirus restrictions that remain in place in Britain and the possibility of vaccine passports being implemented. The march, which was attended by London mayoral candidates Laurence Fox and David Kurten, began in Hyde Park when a flash mob organised by flares assembled around 1 p.m. One protester told Breitbart London that she is concerned about the implementation of vaccine passports, saying that she believed it would be the “beginning of the end”. Asked how she felt about Boris Johnson’s response to the coronavirus, she said that she believes...

It has been two years since customers were first introduced to the Popeyes chicken sandwich. Since then, every other major chain in America has been scrambling to release its own version of the popular menu item—to varying degrees of success. To be clear, most fast food joints have been offering chicken-based sandwiches for decades, but many have stepped up their game since 2019 by focusing on four basic components: thick and juicy breaded chicken breast, pickles, mayo and/or spicy sauce, and a pillowy brioche bun. Judging on those attributes, The Takeout has reviewed the major players’ new chicken sandwiches one...

TIMES OFFICE, Wednesday, 10 o'clock A.M. A special correspondent from Washington to the TIMES arrived at our office at 3 1/2 o'clock this morning, bringing news from the Capital up to yesterday (Tuesday) morning, 7 1/2 o'clock, at which hour he left that city. Our messenger came through Baltimore, where he spent an hour or two, and by private conveyance to Havre de Grace, Maryland, and the aid of a fisherman's skiff to cross the Susquehannah, he reached Perryville, on the east bank of that stream, in time to take the evening train for Philadelphia. We are enabled, through this...

The commonwealth’s election typically anticipates the outcome in the next year’s midterms. If Virginia Republicans can’t win by running against one-party rule, it won’t be easy for congressional Republicans to do the same.
