Citing Florida’s economic policies and living standards, Wall Street executives are requesting transfers from New York to Florida. Many analysts state that bankers’ desire to move out of New York is creating a headache for recruiters as investment firms attempt to reopen their offices. Job headhunters say banks such as JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs have what is being described as a waiting list of executives looking to move to the Sunshine State primarily because of its lower cost of living, but also because of other quality of life issues including a lower crime rate. Manhattan, where both firms are located,...

This 1941 M3 Stuart tank is a riveted-hull light tank that was produced in November 1941 and reportedly sent to Australia for training purposes until 1946. It remained in the country until it was acquired by the current owner in 2018 and reimported to the US. The tank is powered by a replacement gasoline-powered 668ci Continental W-670 seven-cylinder radial engine that sends power to the tracks via a four-speed manual transmission. Equipment includes a manually rotating turret, a de-milled M22 gun with a shoulder mount, a Mark 19 radio set, and canvas seatbacks. The fuel lines and filters were replaced...

Eric Adams won the Democrat primary for mayor in New York City because he campaigned on a law-and-order platform. The New York Times found his popularity mystifying and disturbing because he refused to play to the stereotype that Blacks hate the police. If that wasn’t a strong enough signal that the Defund the Police movement is hostile to people living in crime-ridden neighborhoods, Black families in Oakland stood shoulder-to-shoulder with the police against Antifa’s “defund the police” madness. Make no mistake about Eric Adams: He’s a leftist. However, he’s a leftist who understands that even socialism needs a functioning infrastructure,...

The recall election will present voters with two questions. September 14, 2021. The first will ask whether Newsom should be recalled from the office of governor. The second will ask who should succeed Newsom if he is recalled. A majority vote is required on the first question for the governor to be recalled. The candidate with the MOST votes on the second question would win the election, no majority required.

A new analysis of more than 50 previously secret, corporate-backed scientific studies is raising troubling questions about a history of regulatory reliance on such research in assessing the safety of the widely used weedkilling chemical known as glyphosate, the key ingredient in the popular Roundup herbicide. In a 187-page report released on Friday, researchers from the Institute of Cancer Research at the Medical University of Vienna in Austria said a thorough review of 53 safety studies submitted to regulators by large chemical companies showed that most do not comply with modern international standards for scientific rigor, and lack the types...

You have to give the White House credit. When they latch onto a narrative, they stick with it regardless of how obviously false it is. Case-in-point: The spin they’re putting on the Cuban protests happening right now. They demand freedom. They are sick of long bread lines and inadequate socialized medicine. They want their government to stop being Communist. But to the White House, the cries against socialized medicine are actually demands for more vaccines. No, really. According to Just The News: In a rare outbreak of mass protests in Cuba, thousands of people on Sunday marched through the streets...

Reporter Steve Hart from the New South Wales TV Station “10 News First” reported to Australian viewers that “Today is the first full day of the New World Order” as he dutifully reported the draconian lockdowns and loss of freedom of a once proud and free citizenry.

The Oakland police department is investigating several weekend shootings, with one person killed and four others wounded within a seven hour span on Saturday alone.

We've heard this time and time again- its more financially beneficial to stay home and get your government "relief" than actually get a job. I am seeing it firsthand this week. We are in Cocoa Beach, Florida at our condos for a week and tonight went to one of our favorite restaurants Jazzy's Mainely Lobster. Over the past few days we've seen restaurants down here, including Jazzy's, with signs that read "closed Tuesday's." We asked the hostess why- her response? "They cannot find people who want to work. Its better for them to sit at home and collect money from...

Cardinal Sarah: This Reform Is IRREVERSIBLE - Despite Clerical IntransigenceHistory will remember Benedict XVI as a great theologian and as the Pope of Summorum Pontificum, Cardinal Robert Sarah told IlTimone.it (July 2).He believes that with the Motu Proprio Summorum Pontificum began “a path of liturgical and spiritual REFORM" which in spite of difficulties, and resistances is "irreversible.”Sarah acknowledges a new generation of young people and families which emerged in the Church “despite intransigent clerical attitudes of opposition” to the Roman Mass.“This liturgy has a future because it has a past, a history of holiness and beauty that cannot be erased...

A middle school drama teacher in Illinois has filed a lawsuit against her school district, alleging that it is violating anti-discrimination laws and the U.S. Constitution through its curriculum that pits “different racial groups against each other” in the name of “anti-racism.” Teacher Stacy Deemar, in her lawsuit (pdf) filed in federal court on June 29, alleges that since 2017, teachers in Evanston-Skokie district (District 65) have been made to under go so-called “antiracist training,” and continue to do so. Deemar is being represented by the Southeastern Legal Foundation. Among a number of objectives in the training, teachers are stereotyped...

Liberals’ Obsession with ‘Christian Nationalism’The chattering class is very preoccupied these days with “Christian nationalism.” The pundits who speak darkly about it don’t bother to define the phrase, but it is meant to conjure up a terrifying picture of extremism. That liberals consider it a devastating slur speaks to their own anti-Christian and anti-nationalist views.The existence of patriotic Christians across the land certainly wouldn’t have alarmed the Founding Fathers. They would have found the use of “Christian nationalism” as an epithet puzzling. Indeed, they assumed that the American form of government would work best in the hands of a Christian...

Great Whites? White Sharrks?

Stefan Löfven, who was forced to resign as Prime Minister after clashing with allies over housing policy last week, narrowly won a vote in Parliament on Wednesday which secured him a swift return as Sweden’s leader. It was clear beforehand that a single lawmaker, either by mistake or deliberate rebellion, had the power to scupper Mr Löfven’s comeback, but in the end, he prevailed by 176 votes to 173. Sweden’s Parliament has 349 seats. Mr Löfven said: "The work to move Sweden forward begins again now. “We must now continue our work to build a stronger, safer and more equal...

Explanation: Where's the Moon? Somewhere in this image, the Earth's Moon is hiding. The entire Moon is visible, in its completely full phase, in plain sight. Even the photographer's keen eye couldn't find it even though he knew exactly where to look -- only the long exposure of his camera picked it up -- barely. Although by now you might be congratulating yourself on finding it, why was it so difficult to see? For one reason, this photograph was taken during a total lunar eclipse, when the Earth's shadow made the Moon much dimmer than a normal full Moon. For...

A very important meeting took place in Moscow last week, virtually hush-hush. Nikolai Patrushev, secretary of the Russian Security Council, received Hamdullah Mohib, Afghanistan’s national security adviser. There were no substantial leaks. A bland statement pointed to the obvious: They “focused on the security situation in Afghanistan during the pullout of Western military contingencies and the escalation of the military-political situation in the northern part of the country.” The real story is way more nuanced. Mohib, representing embattled President Ashraf Ghani, did his best to convince Patrushev that the Kabul administration represents stability. It does not – as the subsequent...
