U.S.—Scientists are warning of a deadly new COVID variant: the Supersized Double Mega Limited Edition Teenage Mutant Ninja Snyder Cut Variant With Frickin' Laser Cannons. "God help us all," murmured one scientist at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. "It's evolved laser cannons! Frickin' laser cannons! If it weren't so deadly, it'd be pretty frickin' rad. Man, oh man." The new variant is double the size of the last one. It is also supersized, so it comes with larger fries and a giant sweet tea, which is a nice consolation for it being so deadly. It's a limited edition,...

There’s something remarkable happening in France right now, and it’s starting to feel a little “Louis XVI-ish.” If you’re not familiar with the French Revolution (May 5, 1789 – November 9, 1799), it was an incredible period of sweeping political and societal change in France. And while there were many different circumstances and reasons which sparked the revolution, it really boiled down to three main crisis points: social, political, and economic. And one of the most formidable groups spearheading the push for reform were the peasants — or as we’d call them today, the “working class.” French peasants were furious...

Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her leadership team on Sunday urged President Joe Biden to immediately renew and extend the eviction moratorium until Oct. 18 after House Democrats failed to marshal the votes to prevent its lapse this weekend.Pelosi, Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.), Whip Jim Clyburn (D-S.C.) and Assistant Speaker Katherine Clark (D-Mass.) issued a joint statement Sunday night putting the ball back in the Biden administration’s court, after the White House on Thursday said it could not extend the eviction ban and urged Congress to do it.“It is clear that the Senate is not able to [extend the ban],...

Lockdowns are coming. The Great Reset agenda is hitting its stride as world governments engage in lockdowns over the Delta Variant. Data shows it is more infectious but less dangerous than previous variants, but the fearmongers driving the narrative are treating it like an existential threat to society. In reality, THEY are the existential threat as they prepare to unleash their lockdown hysteria on the United States. It’s coming. According to Human Events Senior Editor Jack Posobiec: WH official this am: “B lockdown speech being drawn up this week…they’re planning to make it sound like one of the most solemn...

Gov. Phil Murphy is strongly encouraging all New Jerseyans – regardless of vaccination status – to wear masks indoors in certain high-risk situations. But the governor has not issued any sort of mandate on the issue at this time. With new cases of COVID-19 over 1,000 on Thursday and nearly 1,000 on Friday, Murphy and state health officials are warily watching the path of the delta variant

ymnast McKayla Maroney has unleashed on Team USA and USA Gymnastics over the abuse she suffered at the hands of pedophile doctor Larry Nassar, recalling how at age 15, she was left 'alone, naked' while he 'lay on top of her' as she sobbed for 50 minutes. The 2012 Olympic gold and silver medalist lifted the lid on the horrors she endured while competing for the national team, claiming that she was 'banned' from seeing or speaking to her parents while traveling with her Team USA coaches, whose 'care' she was left in while she was being sexually abused by...

WH official this am: “B lockdown speech being drawn up this week…they’re planning to make it sound like one of the most solemn in history, real Bush on the night of 9/11 type stuff. Would start stocking up if I were y’all”

COVID-19 leaked from the controversial Wuhan lab sometime before Sept. 12, 2019 — with China’s Communist Party keeping the deadly virus under wraps in the “greatest coverup of all time,” according to a damning Republican investigation into the origins released Monday. The report showed “a preponderance of the evidence proves that all roads lead” to the Wuhan Institute of Virology, the bat-research lab already eyed as a source for the pandemic, according to Rep. Michael McCaul.

It may not be today. It may not be tomorrow. It may not be next week. It may not be this month, when the rapid ascension of the Delta variant in the United States could send confirmed daily case counts spiking to 200,000 or more before settling down again. It may not even be next year. But someday, you will almost certainly be infected with the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus. This uncomfortable fact may come as a surprise to many Americans, particularly to those who have spent hours sanitizing surfaces and groceries, who have dutifully adorned a mask even when not required...

A close associate of liberal billionaire George Soros has found himself in hot water. Six women have accused former Soros money manager Howard Rubin of taking kinky hobbies too far. The Daily Mail reported that Rubin, “is being accused by six women of beating them during sadomasochistic sex sessions at a specially constructed 'sex dungeon' in his Manhattan apartment.” The “right-hand man” of Soros, was “blamed for incurring $377 million of losses at Merrill Lynch in 1987,” is now being “accused of paying women up to $5,000 in order to take part in BDSM sex,” the Daily Mail said. Several...

WASHINGTON, D.C.—All the witnesses who have testified before the January 6 Committee were given honorary Emmy awards this week for their outstanding performances pretending to cry for dramatic effect. "Look at the way they are able to cry on command -- so realistic!" said one member of the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences upon reviewing the tearful performances. "These folks have a bright career ahead of them. The Hallmark Channel is always looking for new talent, as they have about 6,000 Christmas movies to make before November." "Keep an eye on these actors -- they're hot, hot, hot!"...

Canada women's soccer will do no worse than silver after beating the U.S. women's national team in the Olympic semifinal round Monday. In addition to being a monumental win, the victory also ensured that Olympic history will be made. When midfielder Quinn took the field in Canada's Olympic opener against Japan, they became the first openly transgender athlete to compete in the Olympics. Now Quinn is the first transgender Olympian to secure a medal.

TAMPA, Florida—U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) will open a new asylum office in Tampa on Aug. 2, in response to an increasing asylum workload in Florida. The new office becomes the 11th asylum office in the country and the second in Florida, joining the existing Miami Asylum Office. The Tampa and Miami asylum offices will divide the state’s asylum workload. Florida currently leads the country in asylum applications filed with USCIS, and more than a quarter of the national pending caseload is from Florida residents. The addition of the Tampa Asylum Office will help USCIS resolve urgent cases quickly...

Once again we visit the timeline of Oilfield Rando for a ‘play-by-play’ of the stupidity in the Infrastructure Bill and the ridiculous things Democrats are getting away with because Republicans are basically letting them. As he points out in this thread, our GOP sadly seems more and more useless, hiding behind the excuse that they’re the minority. It’s getting old, folks. But what’s not getting old is Rando’s take on the bill. Hey, it still sucks but if we can laugh a little why not? Already found $250 million for an invasive plant species removal program lol.

It cannot be easy to lead the agency that handles infectious diseases in the midst of an international pandemic. Still, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention should at least be able to prove she is up to the task. Dr. Rochelle Walensky has repeatedly proved herself unfit and unreliable. She needs to go. Perhaps her worst failure, however, was her wishy-washy approach to school reopenings. Walensky switched her position on whether social distancing in the classroom was necessary, not once, not twice, but three times. First, she said that three feet of social distancing would be...

Floridians are waiting in line for hours to get tested for COVID-19, as the state grapples with record-breaking case numbers. The line began forming around 6 a.m. Sunday at a drive-thru coronavirus testing site at Barnett Park — three hours before the Orange County facility opened, Spectrum News reported. Hundreds of cars wrapped around the site, which has recently had to turn people away before its normal closing time because it’s reached capacity, the outlet reported. “Constituents are struggling to get in & many can’t wait several hours for a test,” State Rep. Anna Eskamani wrote on Twitter.

As a 20-year member of Congress and four-year Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, let me speak bluntly and directly. Speaker Nancy Pelosi is the greatest threat to constitutional liberty in our lifetime. With the passive support of an apparently cowardly caucus, she is behaving as a dictator more like Fidel Castro, Xi Jinping, Vladimir Putin, or Nicolás Maduro.Pelosi ordered and kept the fencing around the U.S. Capitol for months – even when members of her own party were calling for it to come down. She stripped a duly elected Republican of all her committee assignments. In recent weeks,...
