- A year before her election to Congress, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene searched for Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez at her Capitol office, taunting the New York Democrat to "get rid of your diaper" and "talk to the American citizens," as shown in video unearthed by CNN. "I am an American citizen. I pay your salary through the taxes that you collect from me through the IRS," Greene says through the mail slot of a locked door. "I am a woman. I am a female business owner and I’m proud to be an American woman. And I do not support your socialist...

Artur Pawlowski, the Polish immigrant to Canada who was recently arrested for holding church services despite orders from the government to cease religious worship due to unscientific COVID-19 lockdowns and went viral after throwing out police and health officials while calling them Nazis and gestapos, says someone tried to burn down his home in a Facebook post containing video of the blaze. “Someone tried to burn my house down! Price of fighting for Freedom,” wrote Pawlowski. “Please, pray for our enemies!” Pawlowski uploaded video showing at least five firefighters outside what appears to be a residence.

The legitimacy of the election After meeting with Biden and other congressional leaders on Wednesday, House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy claimed that "I don't think anybody is questioning the legitimacy of the presidential election. I think that is all over with. We're sitting here with the President today." Facts First: McCarthy's claim is not even close to true. Many Republicans continue to groundlessly question the legitimacy of the presidential election. One of them is former President Donald Trump -- who issued a Monday statement that falsely alleged the election had been marred by "the greatest Election Fraud in the history...

Maricopa County Sheriff Paul Penzone is the most recent in a string of Arizona officials to complain about the county’s audit of the 2020 presidential election. The sheriff said that the State Senate’s demands for the audit of Maricopa County’s presidential election is “mind-numbingly reckless and irresponsible.” He said the law enforcement agency would be at risk if the county complied with the Republican majority senate’s demands for routers or digital copies of the routers. The Senate also wants passwords to the voting machines that county officials have claimed they do not have, AZ Central reported. “The Senate Republican Caucus’...

India, Brazil, and most other countries all rely on COVID treatment guidance from the two organizations that people most trust for medical advice, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the World Health Organization (WHO). Yet following the COVID guidance of these organizations is failing to prevent the unnecessary death of millions of people worldwide. Is the guidance provided by these organizations correct? Or is there a possibility it could be harmful to follow their guidance? This is now a matter of urgent public interest because India recently adopted ivermectin as standard of care for early treatment of COVID, which...

Betrayed at the Top It’s not just our political leaders who can’t be trusted to represent conservative values. PRINT LISTEN As a Conservative, I have to confess I see less of a problem in having to deal with Biden, Schumer and Pelosi, than in having to accept that McConnell, McCarthy and Cheney constitute my party’s leadership. One day, God willing, those Democrats will be gone from the scene. But the fact that our party is being led by three hacks who hate Donald Trump means that even if these three are gone, they will be replaced by like-minded shills for...

A newly-obtained video shows United States Capitol Police officers speaking with several January 6 protestors—including Jacob Chansley, the so-called “Q shaman”—inside the Capitol that afternoon. One officer, identified in the video and confirmed by charging documents as Officer Keith Robishaw, appears to tell Chansely’s group they won’t stop them from entering the building. “We’re not against . . . you need to show us . . . no attacking, no assault, remain calm,” Robishaw warns. Chansley and another protestor instruct the crowd to act peacefully. “This has to be peaceful,” Chansley yelled. “We have the right to peacefully assemble.” The...

Retirement plans nationally and in Florida were already in trouble before the COVID-19 pandemic. Even though Florida has one of the healthier retirement systems in the country, this system is nearly $30 billion in debit and has approximately 85 percent of the funding it needs to pay for retirement benefits. This and a controversial bill to limit retirement options that did not make it through, gave Florida workers the jitters and an omen of what may be coming down the pike. In the report, "Retirement Insecurity 2021," conducted by Greenwald Research of 1200 working adults, two-thirds of Americans (67%) say...

Explanation: The clouds may look like an oyster, and the stars like pearls, but look beyond. Near the outskirts of the Small Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy some 200 thousand light-years distant, lies 5 million year young star cluster NGC 602. Surrounded by natal gas and dust, NGC 602 is featured in this stunning Hubble image of the region. Fantastic ridges and swept back shapes strongly suggest that energetic radiation and shock waves from NGC 602's massive young stars have eroded the dusty material and triggered a progression of star formation moving away from the cluster's center. At the estimated...

SNIP There are reasons so many humans feel comforted by hugging. Like a massage, it “involves stimulation and pressure receptors, and when that happens, the whole nervous system slows down and stress hormone is reduced,” says Tiffany Field, director of the Touch Research Institute at the University of Miami School of Medicine. Still, for some, hugs induce stress more than they relieve it. When Sam Zelinka, a federal-government research scientist based in Madison, Wis., gets a hug from anyone other than his wife or kids, he gets the same feeling as when a stranger stands too close to him. And...

An old adage goes like this. “Better is the silent man who may prove himself foolish, than the one who opens his mouth and removes all doubt.”No one can ever say they’ve ever had any doubts about the current President of the United States.He is patently dishonest. But people explain that away as just being the old uncle at the family gathering who can’t help but exaggerate the good ole’ days.He frequently relays abjectly false information. But supporters just blame his age, obvious stage of being diminished, or point to his past when a far more moderate man served in...

NBC political director Chuck Todd kicked off Sunday’s Meet the Press with a truly disgusting display of dishonesty and gaslighting. When it came to reporting on how Israel bombed a building on Saturday that housed a Hamas intelligence center along with multiple media outlets that were using as human shields, Todd completely ignored the Hamas element and suggested Israel was targeting the media. He also didn’t admit that Israel had warned the news outlets and everyone in the building was evacuated.
