Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) received backlash Wednesday after sharing photos of her grandmother’s home in Puerto Rico and said Hurricane Maria relief had not arrived because “Trump blocked relief $ for PR.” “Just over a week ago, my abuela fell ill. I went to Puerto Rico to see her- my 1st time in a year+ bc of COVID,” she wrote on Twitter.

TALLAHASSEE, FL—In a controversial move sure to cause outrage, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed a bill declaring that the sky is blue. “Through sheer malice, bigotry, and hatred, I declare the sky is blue!” said DeSantis at the signing ceremony. “Maybe next I’ll declare grass to be green, enforcing myopic reality on everyone! Mwuh ha ha ha!” DeSantis then signed the bill with ink he declared to be black no matter what anyone else thought about it. “Nooooo! Colors exist on a spectrum!” screamed an activist outside. “Who is to say the sky isn’t yellow? I guess, maybe, some sort...

Mendocino is known for its Victorian architecture and striking setting on the bluffs of the Pacific Ocean in rural Northern California... The sole service station in the tiny pastel-hued village, Schlafer’s Auto Body & Repair, is currently charging $6.73 per gallon of regular unleaded gasoline “They say, ‘you’re ripping us off,'” she said of her customer’s criticisms. “I tell them, ‘If you want to take my seat and my helm over, you're welcome to do so.’”

Jason Whitlock didn’t hold back when discussing woke athletes embracing China. The sports journalist said LeBron James, Colin Kaepernick, and even Serena Williams embrace “Anti-American Sentiment.” As a guest on “The Truth With Lisa Boothe,” Whitlock launched into a brutal assessment at how Nike athletes are turning their backs on America in a cash grab. LeBron will not be happy with this criticism.

Environmentalists have long promoted renewable energy sources like solar panels and wind farms to save the climate. But what about when those technologies destroy the environment? In this provocative talk, Time Magazine “Hero of the Environment” and energy expert, Michael Shellenberger explains why solar and wind farms require so much land for mining and energy production, and an alternative path to saving both the climate and the natural environment. Michael Shellenberger is a Time Magazine Hero of the Environment and President of Environmental Progress, a research and policy organization.

At issue is how juries review “aggravating” factors — such as whether a crime was gang-related or involved multiple victims. Defense lawyers in the case argued that to ensure equal application of the death penalty, state law and the state Constitution require juries to be unanimous in their reasoning on each factor. That the court is even considering new requirements is unusual. It has refused to impose them in the past and has even summarily dismissed the kind of arguments presented Wednesday. But the court’s composition has changed over the years. Democratic appointees now hold five of the seven seats....

SAN DIEGO, CA—So powerful! Biden-appointed Border Czar Kamala Harris is addressing the worsening border crisis this month by painting the metal bars of migrant cages the colors of the Pride Rainbow. "Gracias Señora Harris!" said one 7-year-old boy named Pablo as ICE agents painted the bars of his holding facility. "Muy bonito!" The young immigrant child was then placed in solitary confinement for saying "bonito" instead of "bonitx." The Biden administration has confirmed a whole month of pride-themed decor and festivities are planned for the suffering migrants being held at the border-- including drag shows and intersectional slam poetry sessions...

According to a report from Campus Reform, the nutty professor claims that even though “Black people are also attacking Asian Americans,” White people “are the main perpetrators of anti-Asian racism.” Ho was previously President of the Association for Asian American studies and director of the Center for Humanities and the Arts. The point I’ve made through all of those experiences is that anti-Asian racism has the same source as anti-Black racism: white supremacy,” she wrote. “So when a Black person attacks an Asian person, the encounter is fueled perhaps by racism, but very specifically by white supremacy. White supremacy does...

Emails show Dr. Anthony Fauci was advised by Erik Nielsen, a physicist and CEO of Bio-Signal Technologies, in March 2020, that two drugs could possibly help battle the coronavirus pandemic, but Fauci ignored it, claiming the email was “too long” for him to read. Nielsen, in the email, said he had instructed members of his family to get “Alvesco (ciclesonide) for emergency use only.” He claimed that his “colleagues on the front-line in Japan, China, and Korea found several pre-print papers, that it is an effective treatment for late-stage COVID-19 patients.” The physicist continued, “Some patients on ventilators who were...

On Day 118, Biden, test-driving an electric car on Rep. Rashida Tlaib’s home turf, joked that he’d run a reporter over if she asked about Israel.Ask About Israel And I’ll Run You Over. Well, that’s a first: President Joe Biden said he’d run a reporter over with a truck if she asked a question about Israel. The president test-drove a Ford F-150 Lightning at a Ford Motor Co. plant in Dearborn, Michigan, at a very high rate of speed, commenting to reporters, “This sucker’s quick,” and indicated that he was about to demonstrate how fast the car could go. “Mr....

The Metaphysics of FacebookHow Facebook's Censorship Engine Became Anti-ChristianAfter a string of high-profile news stories in 2016 about ways disinformation had been promoted on Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg declared that his social networking company was working to “improve our ability to classify misinformation.”In the five years since Zuckerberg’s announcement, Facebook has gradually been amassing an army of content moderators. 15,000 people now decide what should and should not be seen.At a time when the worldview of millions of people is mediated by digital information, content moderation is no trivial matter. These content moderators—some employed directly by Zuckerberg, but most working for...

Huntington Beach Mayor Pro Tem Tito Ortiz announced his resignation from the City Council effective immediately Tuesday night, June 1, saying “character assassination” by the media and leaks from City Hall prompted the decision. “This job isn’t working for me,” Ortiz said during the first in-person council meeting of the year.

His two sons recently made national news when they were sent home from school after arriving without face masks, as required of all students and teachers at Ocean View School District schools.

In the March 7th, 2020 issue of The Lancet, a group of scientists from around the world wrote a letter, condemning “conspiracy theories” regarding the origins of COVID-19. In the letter entitled “Statement in support of scientists, public health professionals, and medical professionals of China combatting COVID-19,” the scientists are quick to push the narrative of a natural zoonotic (a natural viral mutation) event that led to the initial outbreak of SARS-CoV-2. The letter was initially published online on February 18th, 2020, nearly two weeks before the first known US case of COVID-19. We certainly knew a lot about where...

Of all the problems facing our nation right now, there are two that rise above all the others, and, therefore, two imperatives that if not resolved, Americans will lose the ability to change the trajectory of our country and retain our freedoms.

How does a country alleviate poverty and segregation? Denmark is attempting to improve societal integration of “non-Western” citizens. We look at how that’s working. Hans Christian Andersen was born in Odense, the third-largest city in Denmark, and a museum complex dedicated to him sits near the city center. Across town to the northeast lies the country’s largest ghetto – an official term used to designate disadvantaged areas with a majority of “non-Western” residents. And today, in a turn that could come from one of Mr. Andersen’s fairy tales, the residents of the neighborhood of Vollsmose face the prospect of having...

A proposed Chinese wind farm in Texas poses national security concerns, warned China-watcher and hedge fund manager Kyle Bass. The Blue Hills Wind development in southwest Texas’s Val Verde County has attracted heightened scrutiny in recent months, with lawmakers and experts signaling concern that the Chinese project could be used as a cover for espionage and to disrupt the state’s power grid. The proposed wind farm site is about 30 miles from the U.S.-Mexico border and near the Laughlin Air Force Base, the U.S. Air Force’s largest pilot training facility. The land for the wind farm is owned by a...

The US Military is under fire after a training incident gone awry. According to a recent report, a group of soldiers were engaged in a training exercise in Bulgaria when a mistake sent them off course. The group was assigned the task of clearing and securing multiple structures on the US airbase in Cheshnigirovo when they inadvertently strayed from the designated area and onto private property. Task and Purpose said the soldiers with the 173rd Airborne Brigade then accidentally stormed the operating factory next door, seizing and clearing the premises of the company’s bewildered and, no doubt, terrified employees.
