Students enrolled at the University of Maryland and at Rutgers in New Jersey demonstrated against their schools’ requirement that they must take the experimental COVID vaccination to attend classes in the Fall semester. One UM student called the requirement an “abuse of rights and abuse of power” and demanded it be “reeled back.” Another student asserted that “forced consent isn’t real consent.” Maryland House Delegate Lauren Arikan (R-Baltimore County) supported the protest, saying that “coercing students to take an experimental drug is not appropriate” and urged the University Administrators to rescind the mandate because “these vaccines are not like those...

TULSA’S RACIAL WAR An incipient racial war, the most disastrous in the history of Oklahoma, was initiated in Tulsa on the evening of May 31, 1921, in a most surprising and unexpected manner. The published report of the arrest of a Negro boy charged with an attempted assault on a white woman occasioned little comment among the white people who fully expected the law to take its course in the matter. Unfortunately, a group of Negros from the Negro section of the city, who according to facts developed after an investigation, had been worked upon by a lawless element of...

VIDEOTim Graham of Newsbusters highlighted a recent quote by Jake Tapper in which he claimed that he sees his "role as not particularly opinionated." Really, Jake? Okay, if you say so. Therefore the DUmmie FUnnies features a few clips of the "not particularly opinionated" Jake Tapper.

Biden’s nominee for assistant secretary of defense for special operations and low-intensity conflict, Christopher Maier, if confirmed is sure to get the attention of Beijing given his words this week to the Senate Armed Services Committee on Taiwan. The man who is also head of the Department of Defense’s Defeat-ISIS Task Force urged Congressional leaders in a Thursday briefing to establish a program for US special forces to train local troops in Taiwan toward deterring a possible “Chinese invasion”. As the official tapped to oversee all US special forces he’s pushing an irregular warfare Vietnam-style preparedness scenario in Taiwan, which...

It took Nigel Farage coming from the UK to dig into what’s really happening on the U.S. border. In Pinal County, Arizona it’s a full scale military invasion.

Donna Brazile has made multiple appearances on ABC News’ Sunday news show This Week and was listed as a contributor with the program on last weekend. Brazile went on to say that 'all is good' between her and Fox after confirming she'd left the conservative network. She explained: 'I've accomplished what I wanted at Fox News,' in wake of Joe Biden's election win. She joined Fox News as one of its progressive contributors in March 2019. Her time at Fox News was not always easy, though, filled with occasional shouting matches and frequent criticism from Donald Trump. She also once...

Here is what I am thinking of on Memorial Day. I remember a brave group of American flyers who set out on an impossible World War II mission that they had little chance of surviving. But they volunteered anyway.

A member of the Canadian Armed Forces has been charged with mutiny for speaking out against the COVID-19 vaccine and urging colleagues not to help with vaccine distribution. Officer Cadet Ladislas Kenderesi has been charged with one count of persuading another person to join in a mutiny and one count of behaving in a scandalous manner unbecoming of an officer, according to the Ottawa Citizen. In December, Kenderesi was filmed at an anti-lockdown rally in Toronto, wearing his Canadian Forces uniform and a nametag. “I’m asking military, right now serving, truck drivers, medical, engineers, whatever you are, do not take...

Lue Elizondo, a former Pentagon official who made public UFO reports, says that the U.S. Military, including a top official, underwent a cooperated campaign to intimidate and defame him. He is the former head of the U.S. government’s Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP) which was disbanded in 2012. Five years later, Elizondo made public three UAP (unexplained aerial phenomena) videos which were later confirmed to be true by the military and were under investigation.

The Senate on Friday passed a bipartisan resolution calling on the World Health Organization (WHO) to act with “extreme urgency” to investigate the origins of the CCP virus, demanding full and transparent access to records in China, which senators accused of stonewalling and a “cover-up.” The resolution, introduced by Sens. Roger Marshall (R-Kan.) and Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), calls for an immediate, comprehensive, and transparent investigation that would be mandated by the World Health Assembly, the governing body of the WHO, with access to all relevant records, samples, and personnel in China.

The virus that causes COVID-19 probably did not originate in nature, according to a former State Department contractor. “It came out of nowhere, and it was optimized for transmission between humans in a way that no bat-borne coronavirus ever had been. So what’s up? A pangolin gets mated with a bat gets mated with a furin cleavage site of a human being? How does that happen? It’s not probable,” David Asher, who worked for the department during the Trump administration, said on Fox News’s “The Story.”

Bill Maher got into a fiery debate over the recent Israel-Gaza conflict on Friday night and took aim at the 'liberal media' over its news coverage before turning on progressives including supermodel Bella Hadid. 'One of the frustrations I had while I was off is that I was watching this war go on in Israel … and it was frustrating to me because there was no one on liberal media to defend Israel, really,' Maher, 65, began. He was referring to a recent COVID-19 diagnosis that forced him off the air last week. 'We've become this country now that we're...

The gruesome discovery took decades and for some survivors of the Kamloops Indian Residential School in Canada, the confirmation that children as young as 3 were buried on school grounds crystallizes the sorrow they have carried all their lives. “I lost my heart, it was so much hurt and pain to finally hear, for the outside world, to finally hear what we assumed was happening there,” said Harvey McLeod, who attended the school for two years in the late 1960s, in a telephone interview with CNN Friday. “The story is so unreal, that yesterday it became real for a lot...

Seven rural Oregon counties have voted in favor of an effort to become part of Idaho, and organizers of the Greater Idaho movement say more counties could soon have the option on the ballot. "We want out from underneath Oregon's governance and go underneath Idaho's governance, which we tend to match up better with, as far as our values go," the group's president, Mike McCarter, told Insider. "Now for 20 years-plus we've been trying to change the makeup and improve the makeup of the Oregon Legislature, but when you haven't got the vote, there's not much you can do about...

China currently has one of the most expansive and impressive high-speed rail networks on Earth, and they aren’t showing signs of slowing. As their network reaches the far corners of their nation, Beijing could be setting its eyes on what lies beyond – far, far beyond. According to reports, China wishes to build a high-speed, 13,000-kilometer (8,078-mile) train that travels from mainland China, up through Siberia in Eastern Russia, under the sea through the Bering Strait into Alaska, across the rocky peaks of Canada’s Yukon and British Columbia, and into the USA. Once constructed, they have could further extend their...
