The State of New York has suspended Rudy Giuliani’s law license over his claims of fraud in the 2020 election, according to a court decision released Thursday. The decision states: Respondent was admitted to practice as an attorney and counselor at law in the State of New York on June 25, 1969, under the name Rudolph William Giuliani. He maintains a law office within the First Judicial Department. For the reasons that follow, we conclude that there is uncontroverted evidence that respondent communicated demonstrably false and misleading statements to courts, lawmakers and the public at large in his capacity as...

Harris finally goes to the border, but will she visit the nightmarish youth shelters created by the Biden administration? Probably not. But she should.Vice President Kamala Harris will finally visit the U.S.-Mexico border on Friday, making a stop in El Paso, Texas, along with Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, Politico reported Wednesday. While the vice president is there, she might want to visit the vast, tent-like detention center for migrant youth at Fort Bliss, which is housing some 2,000 migrant teens in deplorable, nightmarish conditions. If she goes, she’ll be able to see first-hand the grave consequences of the Biden...

Earlier today, as RedState reported, Joe Biden launched into another dementia-laden rant where he talked about nuking Americans and shooting deer in kevlar vests. No, I’m not being facetious. That actually happened (see Biden Accidently Makes Best Ever for Second Amendment in Speech Promoting Gun Control Initiatives). In one of the best arguments for the Second Amendment ever spoken by a president, Biden asserted that no one can stand up to the government without F-15s and nuclear weapons. He seems to have a thing for the F-15, having mentioned it several times in this context and perhaps not realizing that...

Subway claims that its tuna is "100% wild caught," but a lab test paid for by The New York Times found absolutely no tuna DNA in over 60 inches of sandwich.

Bombshell evidence has emerged that may give life to the theory that COVID-19 was potentially developed by China as a bioweapon. According to a 2009 State Department cable, Hillary Clinton expressed alarm about the launch of the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China due to “biological weapons proliferation concerns.” The cable, which was previously published by WikiLeaks, was issued to all embassies in Australia Group member countries in June 2009, with the goal of limiting the spread of dangerous weapons. “We believe it is important to focus on emerging chemical and biological technologies, trends in the trade of CBW-related (chemical...

The Islamic Republic of Iran, as it calls itself, is not a republic, but it is Islamic. Here are two definitions to make the point before moving on to a larger point. A Republic is defined by dictionary.com as "a state in which the supreme power rests in the body of citizens entitled to vote and is exercised by representatives chosen directly or indirectly by them." Iran's elections put supreme power in religious leaders, not the people. In previous elections when there were public demonstrations in opposition to the government, "the people" were jailed, or murdered by the regime. Radical...

Areas west and north of Austin are seeing the biggest boom in both median home prices and days on the market, according to the study. Home owners are flocking to places like Marble Falls, Burnet, Leander and even Wimberley, where median home prices grew by 68%, the biggest jump of all zip codes. While multiple factors come into play – including new tech giants moving to town – the coronavirus pandemic also played a significant role in this shift. Home building supplies ran into shortages, and people started working from home more, so commuting was no longer an issue... The...

Russia calls on the U.S. to drop the idea of holding the Sea Breeze 2021 multi-national naval military drills in the Black Sea. The Russian embassy in the United Statesd left the respective statement on Twitter. "The large scale and clearly aggressive nature of Sea Breeze drills do not meet the real security challenges in the Black Sea region. They increase risks of unitended incidents. They welcome the militarist views in Kyiv. We decisively urge the U.S. and their allies to refuse from training in military actions in the Black Sea", reads the message. According to the Russian diplomats, "the...

Israel's Health Ministry registered 148 new coronavirus cases on Wednesday, the highest daily increase since May, as the infectious delta variant makes further headway across the country. Israel decided to reinstate indoor mask mandate as of next week. A senior official with Pfizer Israel said Thursday that the company's vaccine is 90 percent effective in preventing symptomatic coronavirus cases, and 95 percent effective in preventing serious cases that require hospitalization. However, the effectivity of the vaccine in preventing infection and transmission is still unclear. The northern city of Binyamina has been declared "red" on Israel's so-called traffic light system, reflecting...

Representative Maxine Waters (D-CA) said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “The ReidOut” that she believed Republican members of Congress were giving tours the day before to the people who were involved in the January 6 Capitol Hill riot. Waters said, “For Republicans to resist a commission speaks to whether or not they are interested in really having the facts come out about the insurrection and what took place. Who was involved in it, who supported the transportation for so many of those people to come by airplane, by bus, what have you? I know that there have been some reports that talked...

LAS CRUCES, N.M. — A New Mexico man who dodged a murder charge in 2017 is now accused of decapitating a man in a public park and using his head to play soccer in the street. Joel Arciniega-Saenz, 25, of Las Cruces, was arrested Sunday night and charged with first-degree murder in the killing of 51-year-old James Garcia. He remained jailed without bond Wednesday in the Doña Ana County Detention Center. Court documents obtained by KTSM in El Paso describe the grisly scene Las Cruces police officers found when they responded Sunday to Apodaca Park. According to the records, police...

$100 a barrel oil “sure is possible,” Harold Hamm, executive chairman at Continental Resources, told FOX Business on Thursday, commenting on oil prices and supply and demand on the oil market. Oil prices are coming back where they were pre-pandemic, Hamm said, noting that commodity prices, including crude and natural gas, have returned to sustainable levels following last year’s crisis. Asked to comment on the rising price of WTI Crude, which hit $73 per barrel this week, Hamm said that the U.S. When you get to constraining supply you get prices that go up and that is a lot what...

In the last year and a half, multiple courts have ruled against government bodies that tried to force citizens to affirm transgender ideology—the idea that what really defines who we are is not our sex, but our gender identity. According to this ideology, a male who identifies as a woman is really a woman and must be called by feminine names and pronouns. Yet voices in the mainstream media, such as the editorial board of The Washington Post, seem to believe that the courts have it wrong, and that all teachers who decline to use transgender pronouns are hateful people...

The Supreme Court on Wednesday sided with a Pennsylvania cheerleader punished for a vulgar message shared on Snapchat, with the justices ruling the school violated the student's First Amendment rights when it disciplined her for the off-campus rant. The high court ruled 8-1 in favor of the cheerleader, Brandi Levy, with Justice Stephen Breyer writing the majority opinion. Justice Clarence Thomas dissented. While the Supreme Court found Levy's school went too far when it punished her for her social media posts, which are entitled to First Amendment protections, Breyer wrote there is some student speech that takes place off campus...

CANTON, Ohio — As the Republican candidates competing in Ohio’s 2022 U.S. Senate race vie for former President Donald Trump’s endorsement, one candidate is going so far as recording a radio ad welcoming Trump back to Ohio for his Saturday rally in Wellington. Jane Timken, the former Ohio Republican Party chair, recorded a minute-long ad that will run in Cleveland before Trump’s event. “Nothing energizes our conservative grassroots more than a Trump rally!” Timken said in the ad, which Spectrum News received an early look at. At least five Republicans have formally entered the race to succeed retiring Sen. Rob...

As Democrats regroup after evidence of their overreach in Tuesday’s failure of HR1, here are three lessons Republicans need to themselves ingest before the next round. And there will be a next round. The first: HR1 is not a voting rights bill; it never was. It’s a vehicle to directly assault federalism. This isn’t about securing the sanctity of voting rights, it’s about a rising and energetic numerical majority concentrated in our cities getting impatient with the constraints of federal union. And so, what is their natural response? It’s really pretty blunt: they want to pass a law to explicitly...

Rudy Giuliani’s law license has been suspended. In a ruling handed down by the New York State Supreme Court Thursday, the state’s Attorney Grievance Committee successfully moved to have the former New York mayor’s license suspended. Specifically, Giuliani’s actions related to his defense of former President Donald Trump were to blame, according to the court. “We conclude that there is uncontroverted evidence that respondent communicated demonstrably false and misleading statements to courts, lawmakers and the public at large in his capacity as lawyer for former President Donald J. Trump and the Trump campaign in connection with Trump’s failed effort at...
