When John Cena starts making apologies to the Chinese Communist Party, you know it’s time for him to tap out. On Tuesday, the pro wrestler and star of “F9,” the latest “Fast and Furious” flick, managed to look like a fool stuck in a bad scissor hold as he publicly confessed to thought crimes by referring to Taiwan as a country during film promo interviews. “I made a mistake,” Cena said in Mandarin on Weibo, China’s popular social-media platform. “Now I have to say one thing which is very, very, very important: I love and respect China and Chinese people....

WND Staff By WND Staff "Defund the police" has been a common battle cry of Marxists and Democrats across America over the last year as several cases have developed in which there have been accusations of police misbehavior

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, a Republican, on Monday signed a bill that allows "any person to sue Big Tech companies for up to $100,000 in damages" for "deplatforming." "This session, we took action to ensure that ‘We the People’ — real Floridians across the Sunshine State — are guaranteed protection against the Silicon Valley elites," DeSantis said in a statement. "Many in our state have experienced censorship and other tyrannical behavior firsthand in Cuba and Venezuela. If Big Tech censors enforce rules inconsistently, to discriminate in favor of the dominant Silicon Valley ideology, they will now be held accountable." He...

The 86-year-old Chicago woman who was shot outside her home of 50 years Monday night finds it ironic she was shot after trying to keep her property in nice condition when gunmen with “no regard for human life” began firing indiscriminately, she said. The grandmother who is mother to four children suffered a graze wound to her foot in the 4300 block of West Monroe Street in West Garfield Park about 9:45 p.m., according to Chicago police and the woman, who did not want her name used for fear of retaliation. She had just finished watering her grass when the...

Lori Vallow Daybell and Chad Daybell were each indicted by a grand jury Monday on charges of conspiracy, murder and grand theft in connection with the deaths of Lori Daybell’s two youngest children, 7-year-old Joshua “JJ” Vallow and 17-year-old Tylee Ryan. Chad Daybell was also charged with one count of murder in connection with the death of his late wife, Tammy Daybell, just weeks before his marriage to the co-defendant.

The former Secretary of State has become something of an arch-villain for those who find themselves at the intersection of conservatism and conspiracy theories. QAnon believers have a particularly grotesque view of Ms Clinton, painting her to be a psychotic, child torturing, baby eating, demon worshipping pedophile. (snip) During the Sacha Baron Cohen film Borat Subsequent Moviefilm, the lead character–played by Sacha Baron Cohen–stays at the cabin of a pair of men, Jim Russell and Jerry Holleman, who are believers in the QAnon conspiracy theory. (snip) A follow-up documentary focused on the movie, called Debunking Borat, includes Ms Clinton revealing...

Bishops press Gomez to halt Communion debateA group of more than 60 bishops has written to Archbishop Jose Gomez this month, pressing for the U.S. bishops’ conference leadership to suspend discussion of the subject of Eucharistic coherence ahead of the USCCB’s June meeting, despite a recent letter from the Vatican’s doctrinal office counseling the bishops to continue discussing the matter. Discussion on the topic was scheduled in March through the ordinary USCCB procedure for setting meeting agendas.Archbishop Jose Gomez, Cardinal Base Cupich, Cardinal Wilton GregoryShareThe letter was signed by several U.S. cardinals, including Cardinal Wilton Gregory of Washington, Cardinal Blase...

Luc Montagnier, a French virologist and recipient of the 2008 Nobel Prize in Medicine for his discovery of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), has recently exposed the dangers of the COVID-19 vaccines. Montagnier discussed the issue in an interview with Pierre Barnérias of Hold-Up Media earlier this month, which was exclusively translated from French into English for RAIR Foundation USA. The vaccines don’t stop the virus, argues the prominent virologist, they do the opposite — they “feed the virus,” and facilitate its development into stronger and more transmittable variants. These new virus variants will be more resistant to vaccination and...

An apparent skydiver whose parachute became entangled in power lines about 30 feet off the ground in Lake Elsinore has been taken to a hospital after being rescued on Tuesday... The incident was reported around 11:10 a.m. at Mission Trail and Vine Street...The area is near a local skydiving center, though it’s unclear if that was where the flight originated. In addition to firefighters, Southern California Edison and the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department responded to help get the individual down. Crews cut power lines and used a safety basket to get him back on the ground a little more than...

ATLANTA, GA—Despite getting vaccinated, many concerned liberals want to keep wearing masks to show how concerned they are about fighting the pandemic, despite the masks being completely pointless. To help those liberals out, the CDC has introduced a new article of clothing vaccinated people can wear to let everyone know they’re vaccinated but still really worried about the coronavirus: a special anti-virus hat. The new conical, pointed hat, much like masks, uses special science-magic to keep viruses away. It’s called the Device Using Neurological Conical Elements (or DUNCE, for short, and labeled thus) and is perfect for anyone who is...

One year after George Floyd's murder sparked nationwide protests against police brutality, his family's meeting with President Biden as Congress struggles to pass the police reform bill bearing George's name. The Prez hosted Floyd's family at the White House Tuesday, and George's nephew, Brandon Williams, says Biden seemed sincere in wanting to know how the family's doing and how he can help.Earlier today in the Oval Office, I met with George Floyd’s family. They’ve shown extraordinary courage over the last year, especially his young daughter Gianna, who I met again today. The day before her father’s funeral, she told me,...

According to witnesses, the deranged nutjob struggled for over 5 minutes to affix the pointless and uncomfortable mask on the face of the innocent little girl as she kicked and struggled. "This isn't just for your protection! This is to protect me!" yelled the dangerous, certifiably unhinged wingnut as he completely ignored the girl's protests. Several sources attempted to step in and help the little girl, but were quickly scared off as the man began recording them on his cell phone and calling them "grandma killers." "We've seen an increased number of instances like this," said Police Chief Buggs Tubberskaw...

One of the constants in American politics is that both parties love to recycle candidates, no matter whether they’ve won or lost. I’ve often likened it to the head coaching ranks of the NFL, where one can milk a career out of a single so-so season. The unimaginative people in charge prioritize familiarity over originality. That’s how Joe Biden emerged as the Democratic nominee from a large, young, and diverse field for 2020.It’s also the reason that Beto O’Rourke just won’t go away. The uncomfortably spastic former congressman has found yet another windmill to tilt at: the Texas governor’s office.The...

Mark Ruffalo apologized this week for suggesting that Israel committed “genocide” during its 11-day conflict with Palestinian militants in Gaza. “I have reflected & wanted to apologize for posts during the recent Israel/Hamas fighting that suggested Israel is committing ‘genocide’,” the outspoken actor tweeted Monday. “It’s not accurate, it’s inflammatory, disrespectful & is being used to justify antisemitism here & abroad. Now is the time to avoid hyperbole.”

Manhattan's district attorney has convened the grand jury that is expected to decide whether to indict former president Donald Trump, other executives at his company or the business itself should prosecutors present the panel with criminal charges, according to two people familiar with the development. The panel was convened recently and will sit three days a week for six months. It is likely to hear several matters — not just the Trump case ­— during the duration of its term, which is longer than a traditional New York state grand-jury assignment, these people said. Like others, they spoke on the...

The entire $1.7 billion Carolina Crossroads project is broken down into five phases. The plan is to provide a safer, more modern interchange design for the state’s top interstate “pinch point,” commonly known as “Malfunction Junction” in the Midlands of South Carolina. More than 134,000 vehicles including commuters, freight carriers and other travelers pass through this area on a daily basis. Phase I of the Carolina Crossroads project will center on the reconfiguration of the Colonial Life Boulevard interchange on I-126. Some improvements will be made to improve traffic flow along I-26 heading in the direction U.S. 378. This project...

On Tuesday, a suspect carried out a drive-by shooting at the scene where George Floyd died exactly one year previously. Many had gathered to commemorate Floyd’s death at the hands of police, and reporters captured footage of the shooting in progress. Police have reportedly taken possession of the vehicle in question but have not apprehended a suspect. A 911 caller told police that the suspect’s vehicle left the area “at a high rate of speed.” Police reported that an individual with a non-life-threatening gunshot wound was being treated at a local hospital. “This is an evolving incident,” police spokesperson John...

Baltimore has its Highway to Nowhere, a road that gobbled up communities before the project was abandoned. Wilmington, Del., had neighborhoods wiped out by Interstate 95. Thousands of Detroit residents lost their homes — and surviving communities were scarred — by the construction of Interstate 375. The Overtown neighborhood in Miami, a majority-Black community, was “flattened,” also by I-95, forcing 10,000 people to leave their homes. In Nashville, bulldozers demolished 620 houses, 27 apartment buildings and six Black churches to make way for the I-40 expressway. All across the nation, American communities bear the scars of the headlong rush to...
