White House press secretary Jen Psaki doubled down on her claims the Republicans are responsible for defunding the police during her briefing on Wednesday. Psaki was asked a follow-up on remarks she made Monday that GOP members essentially wanted to swipe funds from law enforcement across the country by voting against President Biden's $1.9trillion American Rescue Plan. Fox News' Peter Doocy asked her: 'You mentioned at the last briefing that you think Republicans wanted to defund the police because they did not support the American Rescue Plan. Which Republican ever said that they did not like the American Rescue Plan...

Water was filmed pouring from the ceiling of the doomed Miami condo and into its basement garage minutes before it collapsed - as the death toll from the disaster rose to 18. The video was recorded at 1.18am on June 24 and zooms in on the entrance to the gated garage beneath the north side of Champlain Towers South - behind which water rains from the ceiling as if blasted from a fire hose. The building was reported to have crumbled at around 1.25am. It emerged as six more bodies were pulled from the rubble of the ruined building on...

Where did thousands of mail-in ballots in pristine condition in Fulton County, Georgia suddenly come from during the 2020 presidential election? They were printed by Runbeck Election Services in Phoenix, Arizona, but there is something very suspicious about these particular ballots. Who filed a U.S. Patent Application for a computer system for “on-screen ballot duplication” to be used for “generating a revised ballot”?

Robert L. Johnson, the founder of Black Entertainment Television and America’s first Black billionaire, wants a check. He wants it from the government. And he wants it to come with an apology for slavery, Jim Crow, and hundreds of years of racism. The 75-year-old media magnate owns several homes, heads an asset management firm, and was the first Black person to own a majority stake in an NBA team. He doubts that check will ever come, but he sees a new kind of reparations—being called by a different name so as not be “divisive” or “controversial”—happening already. The new “reparations”...

June 30, 2021, 11:48 AM PDT By Erika Edwards Doctors are beginning to notice Covid-19 cases that look more like a very bad cold, especially in areas of the country where the highly contagious delta variant is quickly spreading. While shortness of breath and other lung issues remain among the most worrisome Covid-19 symptoms, it appears upper respiratory complaints — marked by congestion, a runny nose and headache — may be increasing. Full coverage of the coronavirus outbreak "We've seen a number of folks with cold-like symptoms," said Dr. Robert Hopkins Jr., an internist at the University of Arkansas for...

MILWAUKEE - Wisconsin health officials say COVID-19 vaccines are highly effective, but they are not perfect. Now, the FOX6 Investigators have obtained details about 21 people across the state who have died of COVID-19 – even though they were fully vaccinated. "Get a shot or die," said Patrick Gary of Milwaukee. With those two choices, Gary figured getting a COVID-19 vaccine was a no-brainer. "The facts speak for themselves," said Jeff Martinka of Neighborhood House.

Another San Diego County resident has succumbed to COVID-19 in a second so-called local "breakthough" case. In so-called coronavirus breakthrough infections, fully vaccinated people get the illness anyway, despite the fact that the vaccines typically offer strong protection against severe disease. There are rare cases, however, that result in hospitalizations and, rarer still, deaths. On June 9, a county spokesman said an "older" San Diego woman who was fully vaccinated and had "many pre-existing medical issues" and was sickened by the coronavirus and later died.

Since the German government started handing out big subsidies for the purchase of battery-electric vehicles, sales figures have increased significantly. But electric cars only make up 1.2% of the country’s total registered stock of around 48 million vehicles. An important reason for this, in addition to high prices and a shaky charging infrastructure, are considerable doubts about the much touted environmental friendliness of electric vehicles. […] Even among experts though there is often a dispute about the actual carbon footprint of electric cars. Just last week an aggressive exchange of blows was on display. In an open letter to the...

Police had called in a bomb squad after a tip led them to seize some 5,000 pounds (2,268 kilograms) of illegal home-made and China-manufactured pyrotechnics at about noon, police said. Pallet-loads of fireworks were placed into an LAPD tractor-trailer and hauled away for disposal but at some point, some of the devices that had been placed inside an armored container on an LAPD big-rig exploded in a burst of flame, demolishing the truck. The blast, caught by news crews, also knocked a nearby car on its side, smashed the windows of several others and blew out windows in a neighboring...

The news that a Frasier reboot was in the pipeline was somewhat bittersweet for fans when no mention was made of the classic sitcom's supporting cast making a comeback. But star of the show Kelsey Grammer has now backtracked on this, and revealed he's certain his co-stars will return.

Statement from Ty Clevenger, counsel for Plaintiff Ed Henry:“As was made clear this week when Fox News paid a record $1 million fine for violating human rights law, its CEO Suzanne Scott is not the reformer she claims to be. Ed Henry learned that the hard way on July 1, 2020, when Scott publicly fired him and released a memo that accused him of ‘willful sexual misconduct.’ Scott made the allegations despite overwhelming evidence — already in her possession — that the accusations against Ed were false. We believe she preemptively offered up Mr. Henry as a scapegoat.We also expect...

Former President Donald Trump said Wednesday he had made up his mind about whether he would seek to regain the White House in 2024, but declined to actually say whether or not he would launch yet another presidential campaign. “You’re not going to answer, but I have to ask,” Fox News host Sean Hannity told Trump at a town hall event in Edinburg, Texas. “Where are you in the process, or — let me ask you this, without giving the answer … have you made up your mind?” “Yes,” Trump responded, generating applause from the friendly audience. “I think you...

WASHINGTON (Sputnik) – China has begun constructing over 100 new ballistic missile silos near the city of Yumen in the province of Gansu, US media reported. A total of 119 almost identical construction sites in Gansu show elements featured by existing Chinese launch facilities, the Washington Post newspaper reported, citing commercial satellite images obtained by researchers at the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies in Monterey, California. According to experts, the number of new missiles for these silos could be much smaller. “If the silos under construction at other sites across China are added to the count, the total comes...

So the Pentagon releases a report, claiming it to be full and honest reporting on UFOs. So now we have alien porn on the Science channel, and trying to convince us useless peons that the gov is finally going to come clean right when they need it to distract from the AZ audit. Yes, I have no faith that the gov is not trying to steer attention. I feel that they are about to go 24/7 on UFOs and aliens in an attempt to scare us now that their virus hoax has been pretty much a failure. What's next?
