Leftists are finally bold enough to expose their movement for what it is. This won't end well for them. For decades, Progressives have been making gains in America, and they've been doing it mainly because they were very careful and crafty in how they operated. A leftist will rarely come out and tell you what he is trying to do; leftists are stealthy and devious about their true intentions, disguising their motives with slogans like "for the common good," "paying your fair share," and "leveling the playing field." They've slunk into nearly every walk of life, disingenuously labeling themselves "liberal,"...

Senior leaders at the Environmental Protection Agency improperly meddled in the work of career scientists when reviewing the approval of certain pesticides in 2018, according to a new report and the agency’s own admission. The top officials changed and omitted items from documents related to the decision to grant licenses to three dicamba pesticides, the EPA inspector general found, and created a culture in which career employees felt “constrained” and “muted” from speaking up. In addition to violating EPA’s scientific integrity policies, the tampering left the agency vulnerable to lawsuits. The IG report followed widespread allegations of political interference in...

When will these establishment Republicans learn that they either fight fire with fire, or they need to go? We’re sick and tired of the Paul Ryan “that’s not who we are” BS, while the Dems literally mow us all over with their communist agenda. I just saw a new poll today, that shows that 53% of Republicans believe Biden won by fraud. That’s more than half of the entire Republican Party, and yet, the GOP has said NOTHING about it. They ignore our pleas and act as if it never happened. But people like Marjorie Taylor Greene is fighting for...

Margaret Sullivan uses news of an unexceptional promotion at the Washington Post as an excuse to declare war on Christians. “The white Christians are coming! The white Christians are coming!” So wails Washington Post columnist Margaret Sullivan on her post-yoga ride up and down K Street, forewarning Washingtonians of the imposition of a new ethno-theocracy taking root in America. She’s not saddled on Brown Beauty; rather, in D.C. drab couture, she’s on a Bird scooter, crunching cicada husks and wheeling over discarded surgical masks. An established chronicler of media ecology, Sullivan is no view-from-nowhere, hard-nosed guardian of journalistic neutrality. She...

What are your trials and travails with various garden pests? Hopefully you found a natural(s) solutions to protect the good bugs and birds. I got in a "fight" with a tomato grub last year, and I won! :)

Police declared a riot in Oregon's largest city on Tuesday night as a demonstration to commemorate the one year anniversary of George Floyd's death spiralled into chaos. Hundreds of people gathered outside the Multnomah County Justice Center in downtown Portland on Tuesday evening. As the crowd chanted "burn the building down," some individuals lit a dumpster on fire and pushed it up against the justice center while others vandalized the building with grafitti, according to the Portland Police Bureau. Police officers warned the crowd that the gathering was now considered an unlawful assembly and that those who continued engaging in...

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) says that Dr. Fauci perjured himself before Congress when he claimed that the NIAID did not fund gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, where COVID-19 originated, and "ought to be immediately fired."

It's launch day! SpaceX is on track to launch its Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station Launch Complex 40. Here's what you need to know for today's launch: • Liftoff is scheduled for 2:59 p.m. • 60 Starlink satellites sit atop the 230-foot-tall Falcon 9 rocket. • The launch window is instantaneous. Meaning, the rocket goes at 2:59 p.m. or it doesn’t. • Weather forecast is 90% "go" at the launch pad. • Approximately eight minutes after liftoff, the Falcon 9 rocket's first-stage booster will target an automatic landing on a drone ship in the Atlantic Ocean....

ROME (AP) — Whistleblower protection groups urged the World Health Organization on Wednesday to launch an independent review into the case of an Italian researcher who reported being pressured to falsify data in a now-spiked WHO report into Italy’s coronavirus response. The groups, including Transparency International, Whistleblowing International Network and some 30 other public health and anti-corruption groups, sent an open letter to the president of the World Health Assembly. The assembly, WHO’s highest decision-making body, is made up of all WHO member states and is meeting this week. In the letter, the signatories called for the U.N. agency to...

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) Tuesday sued Arkansas to block a new law that bans doctors in the state from providing gender reassignment surgeries and other treatments for transgender youth. The ACLU said in its suit that the law will have “devastating consequences” for transgender youth in Arkansas, setting up the first challenge to a highly controversial law that the state legislature muscled through by overriding a veto by GOP Gov. Asa Hutchinson. “The ACLU is proud to represent them,” the civil rights group said in a statement, referencing the four transgender adolescents and their families and the two...

Former President Trump on Tuesday claimed vindication for his assertion that the coronavirus originated in a lab in Wuhan, China, and defended using the term "Chinese virus," which has been criticized as racist and blamed in part for a spike in violence against Asian Americans. "Now everybody is agreeing that I was right when I very early on called Wuhan as the source of COVID-19, sometimes referred to as the China Virus," Trump said in a statement. Top U.S. public health officials and experts are increasingly lending credibility to the need for a deeper investigation into the origins of the...

Arizona Republicans passed a measure on Tuesday to strip Democrat Katie Hobbs, the current secretary of state, of her ability to defend election lawsuits, a seemingly partisan retaliation for her sharp criticism of the party's controversial election audit. The bill, which passed both the state's House and Senate Appropriations committees, puts the attorney general, currently a Republican, in charge of defending all lawsuits through January 2, 2023, which is around the end of Hobbs’ current term. “The legislature intends that the attorney general make all strategic decisions regarding election litigation and be allowed to intervene on behalf of this state...

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) claimed Dr. Anthony Fauci committed perjury over his gain of function comments related to Communist China’s Wuhan lab. Paul was asked on Real America’s Voice’s The Water Cooler show, “do you believe he [Fauci] perjured himself?” “Absolutely, he lied to the America people. There was gain of function research going on with Dr. Shi Zhengli at the Wuhan Institute,” Fauci explained. In her paper, she actually thanked Dr. Fauci and National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), which is a part of National Institutes of Health (NIH) that Dr. Fauci runs,” Paul continued. “It’s listed...

The family of a woman who died shortly after receiving a coronavirus vaccine had a private autopsy performed on her last week because the state did not do one while investigating her death, her daughter said. Drene Keyes, a 58-year-old Gloucester resident who died following a Pfizer shot, was buried Friday. Lisa Jones, Keyes’ daughter, said they are waiting for the results from their own investigation, an expense they hope will shed light on her death and bring them closure. It was not certain whether the Virginia Office of the Chief Medical Examiner would incorporate the findings into the state’s...

House Democratic leadership discussed the legality and logistics of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) filing a restraining order against Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) after the Republican has verbally attacked the progressive lawmaker, and likened COVID-19 restrictions to the Holocaust. Top Democrats have reportedly floated a potential restraining order for Ocasio-Cortez against Greene, sources told Politico, noting the Democrat would likely have to seek the order out herself. Greene first confronted Ocasio-Cortez before she was elected to Congress last year as a conservative activist. Earlier this month, after Greene shouted “Hey, Alexandria” multiple times outside the House chamber, Greene pressed the...

A camera system that uses AI and facial recognition intended to reveal states of emotion has been tested on Uyghurs in Xinjiang, the BBC has been told. A software engineer claimed to have installed such systems in police stations in the province. A human rights advocate who was shown the evidence described it as shocking. The Chinese embassy in London has not responded directly to the claims but says political and social rights in all ethnic groups are guaranteed. Xinjiang is home to 12 million ethnic minority Uyghurs, most of whom are Muslim. Citizens in the province are under daily...
