Following Biden’s cancellation of the Keystone XL Pipeline, former President Donald Trump released a statement attacking the unions representing many pipeline workers. The statement reads, “The union representing the great workers building the Keystone XL Pipeline endorsed Biden. Now their workers have no jobs and the pipeline, which was well under construction (like the Southern Border Wall), has been shut down, with thousands of jobs lost and the company announcing yesterday that they are “permanently puling out.” You should vote those people out of office immediately, and stop paying your union dues. A total waste of money. And I said...

David Cutler Lewis, who served as the keyboardist for Ambrosia in the ‘70s and ‘80s, has died following a battle with brain cancer. Born and raised in Seattle, Lewis began performing at just five years old. The multi-instrumentalist tried his hand at French horn and trumpet, but piano was always his primary calling. At 19 he moved to California and enrolled at the California Institute of the Arts where he studied modern, classical and jazz piano. Lewis’ first appearance on an Ambrosia album came in 1978 on Life Beyond L.A.. The LP featured one of the band's biggest radio hits,...

The new job is nepotism at its finest. The same day that former Vice President Dick Cheney, her father, retired from the board of trustees of the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Foundation, the board unanimously voted to appoint her to the panel. Cheney, who was recently ousted from her role as House Republican Conference chair for constantly siding with Democrats and ignoring the will of her voters, says that she is honored to take on this new role. “It’s a great honor to follow in my father’s footsteps and to have the honor of serving on the Foundation that President...

Time magazine's fawning cover of Joe Biden looking younger with Vladimir Putin in his aviator sunglasses is Twitter's newest meme playground, with the president's critics ripping into the publication. In Time's tweet introducing the cover, the magazine wrote: 'Biden takes on Putin,' which elicited an onslaught of snippy jokes about 78-year-old Biden's age and gifs of Putin laughing on Twitter. 'What in the hell kind of fan fiction comic book is this cover?' one user said. Another tweet said it made the president look like a 'Hollywood movie villain.' 'He's wearing sunglasses because he's sleeping,' another Twitter user said, playing...

Republican Sen. Rand Paul called for Dr. Anthony Fauci to be removed from his position leading the Biden administration’s coronavirus response, saying he "in all likelihood has been lying to us." Fauci “shouldn’t be in part of government” because he has been “unwise, naive, and in all likelihood has been lying to us,” Paul said during an interview with Newsmax TV’s White House Correspondent Emerald Robinson. Paul said the recently released Fauci emails vindicate him and show that he, not Fauci, was right about different aspects of the pandemic. “One of the email chains is between Peter Daszak of EcoHealth...

Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is an investigative journalist and writer focusing on the radical Left and Islamic terrorism. A decade ago, Hina Shamsi was fighting on behalf of the Holy Land Foundation whose leaders had been convicted of providing material support to Hamas. As the head of the ACLU’s National Security Project, Shamsi, a Pakistani citizen, had fought fiercely for the Islamic terrorists at Guantanamo Bay. “We all must pledge — not one person more in Guantanamo, not in our names,” she recently declared. But now the Pakistani advocate for Islamic terrorists has a...

The corrupt DOJ and its FBI totally ignored the flood of election crimes in the 2020 election. So it’s no surprise that now the corrupt AG decides to threaten any person who is involved in election audits to prevent them from looking into the election crimes and fraud that were committed. The DOJ totally ignored election crimes in the 2020 election. Everywhere we turned there were crimes and corruption at every level in the process but they were ignored by our Mainstream Media, DOJ, and its FBI, and any mention of the election crimes were banned by Big Tech. This...

New York Republican Rep. Nicole Malliotakis slammed Rep. Ilhan Omar as “a liability” to the country amid a Democratic civil war over the Minnesota “Squad” member likening the US and Israel to the Taliban and Hamas. Malliotakis said the Somalia-born congresswoman should be grateful to be living in the United States but instead “badmouths” her adopted country — and as a result should at least be thrown off the House Foreign Affairs Committee. “She is a liability to that committee,” Malliotakis said in a Friday afternoon appearance on Fox News.

Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz said the agency's internal watchdog would investigate the seizure of data of Democratic House lawmakers and journalists during leak investigations. Horowitz said in a statement Friday the investigation "will examine the Department’s compliance with applicable DOJ policies and procedures, and whether any such uses, or the investigations, were based upon improper considerations," according to The Washington Post. The announcement follows Senate Democratic leaders Friday demanding Trump administration Attorneys General Bill Barr and Jeff Sessions testify about the seizures of data from House Democrats in 2017 and 2018 – following the release of a news...

I explore and debunk the common misconception among non-Christians that the God of the Bible is the same god venerated by the world's Muslims.

The majority of online recruitment in active sex trafficking cases in the U.S. last year took place on Facebook, according to the Human Trafficking Institute's 2020 Federal Human Trafficking Report. "The internet has become the dominant tool that traffickers use to recruit victims, and they often recruit them on a number of very common social networking websites," Human Trafficking Institute CEO Victor Boutros said on CBSN Wednesday. "Facebook overwhelmingly is used by traffickers to recruit victims in active sex trafficking cases." Active cases include those in which defendants were charged in 2020, as well as those in which defendants were...

Facebook created the Oversight Board to help solve its most difficult content moderation decisions. But though the body is often referred to as “Facebook’s Supreme Court,” Facebook executives have suggested that some of their peers could one day benefit from the board’s services, too. In a 2019 letter outlining “Facebook’s commitment to the Oversight Board,” Mark Zuckerberg hinted that the board’s purview could one day extend beyond just Facebook. “We expect the board will only hear a small number of cases at first, but over time we hope it will expand its scope and potentially include more companies across the...

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) during an event, Friday, to discuss the American Jobs Plan and American Families Plan said that no further action needs to be taken on far-left radical Rep. Ilhan Omar’s (D-MN) remarks comparing the United States and Israel to terrorists.

The Black Lives Matter movement and Critical Race Theory are powerful, seductive, and glamorous. They generate abundant capital, financial and social. As Americans secularize, walking away from organized religion, race ideology provides a ritualized seal of spiritual superiority. This new religion promises a cleansing purge. America will be razed to the ground, literally or culturally. Cities will burn; statues will topple. Language itself will swallow old, bad words and speak only the righteous lexicon. This shining new vocabulary will not be selected by the messy process of raucous human tongues trying out what works best to speak the heart,...

MINNEAPOLIS, MN – According to reports, a U.S. District Judge has sentenced the last of four men who pleaded guilty to torching the Minneapolis Police Department’s Third Precinct during summer 2020. In court on Monday morning, June 7th, Judge Patrick Schiltz sentenced 27-year-old Bryce Michael Williams to two years and three months in federal prison and ordered him to help pay $12 million in restitution for the damage. Judge Schiltz described the defendant as a “good person who made a terrible mistake.” While the judge handed down a lighter sentence than prosecutors had requested under state guidelines, he denied Williams’...

China’s awful behavior - be it trade, human rights, virology, etc – is becoming so indefensible that even Principled Free Traders™ are suddenly rushing to condemn China. You’ll note that they are not suggesting that we do something that would really hurt China, such as cutting off imports of their goods or repatriating American jobs that were sent to China. No, not that. It is a high principle of “true conservatives” that denying American consumers the fruits of Uyghur slave labor is bad economic policy. And if Apple, Coca-Cola and Nike all agree that we mustn’t interfere with how China...

So I'm a named party in a lawsuit. It's against my former employer and myself. I was a sales manager for the company in the Atlanta metro area. I would hire sub contractors to perform services and the company would pay said sub contractors for their services. The sub contractors would sign an agreement with the company for their percentages minus the cost of Materials which is standard I. The construction industry. This company would often take advantage of the sub contractors who largely were illegals. I know of at least 4-6 subs that have been taken advantage of as...

“There are emails you can find where he [Dr. Anthony Fauci] acknowledged the virus has been aerosolized,” contends Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, professor of medicine at Stanford, co-author of the Great Barrington Declaration, and an opponent of lockdowns. The cloth masks Dr. Fauci recommended, “they’re not particularly effective against aerosolized viruses” and Fauci’s “credibility is entirely shot,” a rather kind assessment, given the record. At the outset of the pandemic, Dr. Fauci recommended no masks, then one mask, then two masks. He maintained that the COVID-19 virus could not have been engineered in a lab, then acknowledged the possibility of...

“An American-born man who’d pledged allegiance to ISIS gunned down 49 people early Sunday at a gay nightclub in Orlando, the deadliest mass shooting in the United States and the nation’s worst terror attack since 9/11, authorities said,” read the CNN report on the June 12, 2016 terrorist attack at the Pulse club. Shooter Omar Mateen, 29, called 911 during the attack to pledge allegiance to the Islamic State and also mentioned the Boston Marathon bombers. The FBI had interviewed Mateen in 2013 and 2014 but he “was not found to be a threat” and at the time of...

The Arizona Senate’s hand recount of 2.1 million ballots cast in the Maricopa County election in 2020 is expected to conclude by the end of this week, but auditors still have several other tasks to complete before they are finished. Contractors hired by the Republican-led Senate were previously expected to be finished counting ballots by hand by mid-May but extended the contract with the Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Phoenix, where the review is being conducted, to June 30 after audit overseers found it would take longer to complete the full recount. “The counting will be done by the end of...
