A new article in a scientific journal is lobbying for criticism of scientists, specifically President Biden's COVID adviser Anthony Fauci, to be labeled as "hate." The National Pulse explains the article authored by Peter Hotez, sometimes a guest on legacy media outlets, called to "extend federal hate-crime protections" to scientists facing criticism.

WASHINGTON, Saturday, Aug. 3. Prince NAPOLEON, accompanied by the French Minister, Count MERCIER, Capt. BONFILS, Lieut.-Col. RAGOU, Lieut.-Col. PISANI, and Mr. MAURICE SANDS, visited the White House at 12 o'clock to-day. The party were met at the President's by the Secretary of State, who presented the Prince and his suite to President LINCOLN. The utmost cordiality was manifested, and the presentation and reception seemed to be mutually satisfactory. At a later period in the day the Prince visited the Capitol, and was introduced to many Senators and members of the House of Representatives. This evening, the Prince and his suite,...

VIDEOIt's on! Andrew Cuomo versus Bill Clinton! Who are you gonna believe Cuomo? Clinton? Both? Neither? Or are you just going to LOL?

When it came to coverage of the Andrew Cuomo sexual-harassment scandal, it was a tale of two networks this morning. MSNBC's Morning Joe devoted its entire first half-hour to covering the story in all its lurid detail. And no fewer than nine times, Morning Joe referenced CNN anchor Chris Cuomo, who advised brother Andrew during the scandal. Over on CNN's New Day, the Cuomo segment was buried 22 minutes deep into the opening half-hour (other than teases for the story). And even then, only a measly five minutes were devoted to the scandal. Mentions of Chris Cuomo's involvement? Zero. A...

A Wednesday poll reveals registered independents are driving down President Joe Biden’s approval ratings with concerns over the president’s handling of inflation, immigration, and the Chinese coronavirus. The poll by Morning Consult/Politico warns “Biden’s general reputation among unaffiliated voters” is “exposing an early problem for his party to remedy with 14 months to go until the midterm elections.”

As the COVID-19 pandemic experiences a resurgence in the U.S. due to the contagious delta variant, American citizens are once again set to get the short end of the stick from the Biden administration. The Biden administration is planning to keep travel restrictions between the U.S. and Europe in place indefinitely, while they ponder removing pandemic-era restrictions on migrants coming from South and Central America. The Biden administration has reinstated mask mandates, and is pondering other restrictions on American citizens, while maskless migrants surge across the U.S. border at a record pace. When Biden assumed office on January 20, at...

Two law enforcement officers told ABC News that after stabbing the officer, Lanz disarmed him and shot him with his own gun. The officers fatally shot Lanz in response to the attack, however, it is unclear whether the suspect shot himself or was killed by responding officers. Lanz was detained earlier this year after purportedly enlisting in the US Marine Corps in 2012 and being “administratively separated” barely a month later. According to online court records obtained by AP, Lanz was arrested in April in Cobb County, Georgia, on criminal trespassing and burglary charges. On the same day as his...

HONOLULU (AP) — Hawaii officials wrongly arrested a homeless man for a crime committed by someone else, locked him up in a state hospital for more than two years, forced him to take psychiatric drugs and then tried to cover up the mistake by quietly setting him free with just 50 cents to his name, the Hawaii Innocence Project said in a court document asking a judge to set the record straight. A petition filed in court Monday night asks a judge to vacate the arrest and correct Joshua Spriestersbach’s records. The filing lays out his bizarre plight that started...

With the Olympics awash with hate-filled protesting athletes this year, one Gold medal-winning hero's patriotic, faith-filled victory speech appears to have struck a positive chord with supporters back home. United States Olympic wrestler Tamyra Mensah-Stock has no time or inclination to act cool or push a divisive political agenda.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced a new 60-day eviction moratorium in counties where the transmission of COVID-19 is either “substantial” or “high.” The CDC defines a “substantial” or “high” transmission rate as at least 50 COVID-19 cases per 100,000 people over a seven day period. According to the agency, 80.87 percent of US counties are currently experiencing these transmission rates. The new moratorium includes criminal penalties for landlords who turn out tenants in the affected counties. An eviction that “does not result in a death” can result in a fine of up to $100,000 and one...

Ordinary Americans are increasingly competing for a roof over their heads against the permanent capital of companies such as BlackRock and J.P. Morgan Asset Management, which are buying single-family homes from real estate developers at double what the middle class can afford. Indeed, the country’s largest homebuilders are betting on America becoming a nation of renters, pouring billions into the built-to-rent sector with the backing of banks and private investment firms. Entire neighborhoods are gobbled up as the stage is set for what John Burns Real Estate Consulting is calling “another speculative investor-driven home price bubble.” The firm estimates one...

A couple from Richmond, Va. was arrested on Monday with loaded guns near the U.S. Capitol, authorities said. United States Capitol Police (USCP) said in a statement that Titus Hayes and his wife Nicole Carter were each charged with four weapons charges related to the incident. There was no information indicating that they were targeting a member of Congress of the Capitol complex.

The 2020 election demonstrated how fragile our democracy is. As Donald Trump tried, by means both legal and illegal, to overturn the results of a free and fair election, only the courts and a thin line of courageous Republican election officials guaranteed that the peoples’ choice prevailed. But the safeguards are weaker. Although the Supreme Court upheld the last lower-court dismissal of multiple Trump-inspired lawsuits charging election fraud, in July the court upheld new voting restrictions enacted in Arizona. And many of the Republican election officials who refused to back up Trump’s bogus fraud charges have been threatened, fired, or...

“Our democracy,” is the official government term for conditions following the 2020 election. Angelo Codevilla argues that it’s not a democracy but an oligarchy. Since that means rule by a group, “junta” would also appropriate, and historical examples are instructive. Portugal had its junta de salvação nacional in the 1970s, and after the toppling of Allende in a coup, the Junta Militar de Gobierno ruled that nation. After the fall of Somoza, Nicaragua fell under the Junta de Gobierno de Reconstrucción Nacional, the Junta of National Reconstruction. In the United States, what Democrats call “our democracy” is effectively the Government...

President Biden on Tuesday called on New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo to resign after an official report found that he sexually harassed 11 women. “I think he should resign,” Biden said of his longtime Democratic ally. Biden spoke hours after Cuomo proclaimed his innocence and issued a counter-report with photos of Biden and other elected officials hugging women. “Look, I’m not going to flyspeck this. I’m sure there are some embraces that were totally innocent. But apparently, the attorney general decided there were things that weren’t,” Biden said when a reporter asked about Cuomo using his own conduct as a...

Childbirth can trigger a number of odd body changes, but for a woman in Portugal, post-pregnancy symptoms were particularly curious: She started to lactate from her armpit, according to a new report. The 26-year-old woman told doctors that she developed pain in her right armpit two days after giving birth, according to the report, published July 29 in The New England Journal of Medicine. When doctors examined the area, they found a round mass in her armpit. Surprisingly, the mass "released a white discharge when pressed," the authors, from Hospital de Santa Maria in Lisbon, Portugal, wrote in the report....

Bishop Schneider compares Pope Francis’ crushing of Latin Mass to a shepherd angrily beating his sheep with a stickTue Aug 3, 2021 - 2:20 pm EDTTue Aug 3, 2021 - 2:25 pm EDT (The Remnant) –In his first print interview since the release of Pope Francis’ new decree restricting the Traditional Latin Mass, Traditionis Custodes, Bishop Athanasius Schneider has said the document “demeans” a thousand-year-old liturgy of the Roman Rite, commits an “injustice” against Catholics who adhere to it, and creates a “two-class society” in the Church.“The privileged first-class are those who adhere to the reformed liturgy,” Bishop Schneider asserts,...

In June, the U.S. attorney's office for the district of Arizona charged six individuals who had previously been convicted of homicide in the U.S. with illegally reentering the country. This statistic — published in the U.S. attorney's monthly report on immigration and border crimes — shines a revelatory light on our justice system and our border security. Each of these six individuals convicted of homicide in question had come to the U.S. from a foreign country. While here, they killed someone. Law enforcement had tracked them down and gathered sufficient evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt they had committed...
