Former Secretary of State and twice-failed Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton claimed Wednesday that Republican-led voter integrity bills in several states represent a “clear attempt to move away from a pluralistic, multi-racial democracy and toward white supremacist authoritarianism. “Each of these proposals disproportionately prevents people of color from casting their ballots, and each is egregious in its own right,” Clinton wrote in an op-ed for Democracy Docket. “Much of the blame for this backsliding rests with the Supreme Court, which, thanks to the election of President Trump, is even more hostile to voting rights today than it was when it...

Joe Biden on Wednesday traveled to Illinois to promote his infrastructure bill that has nothing to do with infrastructure. Biden was greeted by 1,000 Trump supporters as he arrived in Crystal Lake. Joe Biden creeped on a little girl as he toured a child development center. Creepy Joe beelined it to a little girl as soon as he entered one of the classrooms. Biden leaned down in the little girl’s face and asked her if she’s a teenager. “How old are you? 14?” Biden said to the adorable 4-year-old. Why does Joe Biden always ask little girls if they are...

Video shows the dramatic moment a bear attacked a man while he was celebrating the Fourth of July on Mount Wilson with a group of friends. Photographer Ryan Duke says he was near the top of Mount Wilson with his friends to shoot photos of fireworks over Los Angeles County when a bear cub came out of from the bushes and went straight to a nearby group and toward someone's backpack. Advertisement "At this point the group immediately reacted. Someone shouted 'bear,' got everyone's attention," Duke said. "I thought whoever shouted that was joking." Most of the group stood their...

President Xi Jinping’s Chinese Communist Party (CCP) centenary speech conveyed his regime’s resolve in many ways. Those who attempt to drive a wedge between the party and the Chinese nation, he stated, will encounter “a great wall of steel forged by over 1.4 billion Chinese people.” He pledged to reinforce central control over the party, warning those who oppose its mission that they will be purged “like viruses.” He praised the party’s “courage to fight and fortitude to win,” making the CCP “invincible.” He committed to expanding and modernizing the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) to defend Chinese “sovereignty, security, and...

Through a combination of outreach groups, equity officers (so official!), affirmative-action policies, and more, schools across the country have implemented measures to be as “accepting” as possible. To an extent, colleges are right to take steps to prevent the formation of a homogenous student body. Part of a university’s job is to prepare undergraduates for the rest of their lives. If all the students at Columbia were wealthy white kids from the Upper East Side, they wouldn’t be living in an environment that represents the world around them. But as they are so prone to do, the bureaucrats residing in...

Over 6 months into the mass vaccination campaign with the experimental, non-FDA approved COVID-19 shots, where about half of the U.S. population now has received at least one of these injections, tens of thousands of victims are beginning to speak out, regretting their choices, and begging for help.The medical community by and large has turned their backs on them, which is really what they have done for the past 40+ years with ALL vaccine injured people, most of whom have been children prior to the COVID-19 shots.So while those speaking out in the past have been primarily parents of vaccine-damaged...

Luis Badilla, the editor of Vatican news aggregator Il Sismografo, said Pope Francis’ health situation is “severe" following his recent colon operation. In a blog post, Badilla said that journalists who are downplaying the pope's illness are not doing him any favors.

U.S. District Judge Xavier Rodriguez in San Antonio wrote in a ruling signed Wednesday that the Air Force was "60% responsible" for the massacre at First Baptist Church in the small town of Sutherland Springs, where Devin Kelley opened fire during a Sunday service. Authorities put the official death toll at 26 because one of the 25 people killed was pregnant. Kelley had served nearly five years in the Air Force before being discharged in 2014 for bad conduct, after he was convicted of assaulting a former wife and stepson, cracking the child's skull. The Air Force has publicly acknowledged...

The Megaship which blocked the Suez Canal for six days in March set sail Wednesday following a compensation deal between Egypt and the vessel's Japanese owner. The ship, MV Ever Given, started to move north from the central canal city of Ismailia towards the Mediterranean Wednesday morning after having been impounded for more than 100 days. The nearly 200,000-tonne container vessel was wedged in the canal during a sandstorm on March 23, blocking a passage from Asia to Europe that carries 10% of global maritime trade and pumps vital revenues into Egyptian state coffers. Egypt seized the ship after an...

Employees at the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis have until the end of August to get vaccinated against COVID-19 if they want to keep their job, Minneapolis Fed president Neel Kashkari announced Wednesday. There will be exceptions for workers with medical conditions or religious beliefs barring the shot, he noted. But otherwise, this is the new normal — at least at the Minneapolis Fed. “Future hires will be subject to this policy,” Kashkari wrote. There’s something lost with fully remote work, he said. “Simply put, while we will enjoy more flexibility in where we work going forward, we are not...

Won’t you be my neighbor? You’ll need $2.4 million, though. During his 2020 campaign, now-President Joe Biden was compared to children’s television figure Mister Rogers — and now you can really be Joe and Jill Biden’s neighbor. A property next to Biden’s custom-built three-bedroom, four-and-a-half bathroom Wilmington, Delaware, home was listed Monday for $2.39 million, according to Realtor.com. Biden, who also owns a Delaware beach house but spent this past holiday weekend at the White House, purchased his Wilmington plot for $350,000 in 1998. The property, including the 6,850-square-foot mansion, is now estimated to be worth at least $2 million,...

As President Joe Biden’s border crisis swells, COVID-19 cases are surging in government-run detention centers. According to The New York Times, Immigration and Customs Enforcement reported more than 7,500 new coronavirus cases in the crowded border camps since April. The new case numbers during that same period now make up 40 percent of total COVID positives reported by ICE in migrant detention centers since March 2020. The skyrocketing virus case numbers also come as apprehensions and the number of migrants held in border camps almost doubled to more than 26,000 people between April and the first week of July. While...

Illustrating how far down the path of disintegration of our nation’s once-proud stature in the world’s view is a shocking event announced on 6 July 2021 by the Los Angeles Times. “The U.S. Capitol Police on Tuesday announced that the agency was opening regional field offices in California and Florida to investigate threats to members of Congress in the wake of the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.” Jim Hoft publicized this overt seizure of State’s Rights by the Federal Government in an article in The Gateway Pundit in the evening of July 6. The announcement of the flagrant overreach...

A recent poll shows voters support Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis as the current 2024 Republican presidential nominee, assuming former President Donald Trump does not run. The poll, conducted by Echelon Insights, fielded the responses of 1,001 registered voters from June 18 to June 22. Republican voters were asked, “If Donald Trump does NOT seek the Republican nomination for President in 2024 and the presidential primaries were being held today, for whom would you vote?” DeSantis leads the pack, winning 21 percent of support. The Florida governor was followed by former Vice President Mike Pence at 14 percent, Donald Trump, Jr....

I'm always unimpressed with famous sights. I was adverse to the Lincoln Memorial when I went by it in 2011, because of the Railroad Lawyer who was made into a Greek God. I walked up to it, but I didn't go in. Mr. Smith Goes to Washington nostalgia is enough for me, but "the real thing" is a disappointment. I spent a late night walking around D.C. I was unimpressed with how unfriendly to people of other races the lower-level workers are, though there were still independent taxi drivers who were real people whose livelihoods, however, were under threat of...

A new poll has found that a majority of Americans don’t believe that President Biden is really running the show and that the White House agenda is being driven by other people behind the scenes. There are power players behind the scenes in every administration, but in Biden’s case, it’s obviously a bigger factor. Americans have watched for the last six months as Biden struggles to pronounce words and form sentences. The same media that told us to be worried about Trump’s cognitive state now cheers when Biden is able to order ice cream....

Sears and Kmart have pulled a t-shirt from their websites that referred to Ashli Babbitt, the woman who was shot and killed by a Capitol Police officer during the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, as an “American Patriot.” The shirt, which also included a faded black and white American flag, prompted backlash from social media users Tuesday after Vox’s Aaron Rupar tweeted a screenshot of the item of clothing, as well as the links to the product on Sears' and Kmart's websites. The 35-year-old Air Force veteran was captured in graphic footage being shot after attempting to climb through a broken...
