Former French Interior Minister Christophe Castaner was booed at a rally in support of murdered Jewish woman Sarah Halimi, whose alleged killer was not charged due to his heavy marijuana use. An estimated 20,000 people took to the streets of Paris on Sunday to protest the lack of a trial for the man who allegedly murdered 65-year-old Sarah Halimi in 2017, it is claimed, by pushing her out of the window of her Paris apartment while shouting “Allahu Akbar”. Several protests in support of Halimi were held in other cities in France, such as Montpellier, according to a report by...

The Anti-Asian Hate Crime legislation may make senators feel good about themselves, but it won't do much to address the real concerns of Asian Americans.In response to the rise of anti-Asian crimes, the U.S. Senate passed an Anti-Asian Hate Crime bill by a 94 to 1 vote. Sen. Mazie Hirono, D-Hawaii, the bill’s lead sponsor, said passing the legislation sent a “solid message of solidarity that the Senate will not be a bystander as anti-Asian violence surges in our country.” Yet a close examination of the bill raises the uncomfortable question of whether the effort will do anything meaningful to...

Liz Cheney said Republicans need to tell voters they are competent and can be trusted if they want to win back those they lost in the 2020 election. 'Where you got to attract back the voters that we lost in 2020 is by conveying to them that, in fact, you know, we are the party they can trust, we're the party of competence and of conservative principles,' Cheney, a Republican congresswoman from Wyoming, said at the House GOP retreat on Monday. -snip- Cheney, the No. 3 Republican in the House of Representatives, said the party was led by the current...

On this date in 1792, Jacob Johan Anckarström lost his right hand and his center head for murdering Gustav III. Like some other nobles, this officer considered the “theater king” and enlightened despot Gustav III a, well, despot. Times being what they were, regicide was in order, to usher in an age of constitutional liberalism. A conspiracy of Swedish nobles surrounded the royal victim at a masquerade ball on March 16, 1792, and shot him in the back. Alas for them, the scene was immediately sealed and the attendees unmasked before the gang could get away. Although in the confusion...

The Feds’ Nonexistent Case Against Alleged Sicknick Assailants There is no reason to keep these men in jail, let alone in solitary confinement, in a D.C. prison. The cause of Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick’s untimely death on January 7 is finally settled, but the prosecution of his alleged attackers rages on.After months of dishonest accounts about what happened to Sicknick—first that he was bludgeoned to death by “insurrectionists” with a fire extinguisher and then that he died of an allergic reaction to bear spray—the D.C. Medical Examiner’s office confirmed the 42-year-old died of a stroke; the chemical sprayed in...

Mankind has been successfully avoiding the Noid for over 25 years... until now. And, in a shocking turn of events, the Noid may no longer be an enemy, but an ally in our fight against the greatest threat our species has ever faced: robots. The Takeout’s Robot Beat is devoted to informing readers about the many ways robots are trying to destroy us, one of which is to find ways of infiltrating the food biz. Two weeks ago Domino’s announced that it was officially in cahoots with the robots, using the Nuro R2—the first completely autonomous, driverless, on-road delivery vehicle....

The left politicized Officer Brian Sicknick’s death and used it in the second phony impeachment trial of President Trump. America was lied to about the deaths associated with the riot. Among the casualties that day was Truth and someone needs to be held accountable for her death.

That the U.S. justice system punished Derek Chauvin shows both the promise of America and the hollowness of critical race theory.When the jury announced its verdict in Derek Chauvin’s murder trial, reactions were inevitable. The murder of George Floyd occupied the nation’s attention since it happened, and was the spark that led to both peaceful protests and violent riots across the country. So when the jury found Chauvin guilty of the highest charge, one would expect that those who had felt outraged by Floyd’s murder to be pleased. Maybe some of them were, but those nearest to a television camera...

A group of Republican lawmakers in Congress with medical backgrounds is launching a campaign to tout the safety of coronavirus vaccines and urge Americans to get vaccinated, which comes as vaccine hesitancy remains a persistent issue among Republicans. The group is led by Sen. Roger Marshall (R-Kan.) and includes a number of staunch conservatives, including Reps. Andy Harris (R-Md.) and Greg Murphy (R-N.C.), both members of the right-wing House Freedom Caucus. In a 2-minute ad, the three senators and seven congressmen tout the role of Operation Warp Speed, the Trump administration’s vaccine development program, in rapidly creating an effective vaccine....

We are getting a new boat that is made for the river. It has a shallow hull and a water jet engine so it can carry us over shallows and shoals. We have been looking for improved launch sites near us. During one of our reconnaissance trips we had quite an adventure; the access road down to the river was very steep. My husband asked if I wanted to go down? “Sure I do” I replied, “but I don't think the Escape wants to”. My husband found a dirt road that would bring me closer to the river so we...

Our Founder and beloved friend, Dr. Judith Reisman, stepped into eternity on April 8, 2021 while doing what she loved: Working to protect children from sexualization and sexual exploitation brought about by the “Sexual Revolution” and its patriarch, Alfred Kinsey. Just moments after speaking with a student about research for her next book and sending an email seeking a grant for continuing her work, Dr. Reisman was escorted into heaven. God determined that her work on earth was finished and it was time for her heavenly reward. No doubt she was greeted with the words, “Well done good and faithful...

The Defense Department is tracking 14 cases of heart inflammation, or myocarditis, in military health patients who developed the condition after receiving either the Pfizer or Moderna COVID-19 vaccine. The rare disorder, usually caused by a virus, has been linked to COVID-19. But following a number of reports from Israel of patients developing the inflammation in conjunction with receiving vaccines, the Israeli Health Ministry is exploring a possible link, Israel's Channel 12 reported Friday, according to the Jerusalem Post. Myocarditis is an inflammation of the heart muscle, the myocardium, that can reduce the heart's ability to function or cause abnormal...

In these dire times, many are looking to the church to offer hope, but true hope and peace only come through conviction of sin and deep repentance. This is how we will truly change our nation. We can’t make bad people good; only God can do that. The term “Achilles’ heel” refers to an area of weakness and vulnerability. The American church today has an Achilles’ heel—a lack of prayer and powerful preaching. Both are vitally important to spiritual health. Sadly, many Christian leaders focus on image rather than intimacy with Christ, being woke instead of waking up from their...

An Australian television anchor is weighing in on Joe Biden’s cognitive decline. Chris Kenny of Sky News took note of Biden's performance at a climate summit last week with world leaders. Biden was the only world leader who participated remotely to wear a face mask and laid out his extreme agenda, vowing to reduce 52% of "greenhouse gas" emissions in less than a decade. Kenny did not mince his words about Biden. (Video in story)
