In the last 10 weeks, Arizona has checked the voter registration credentials with the Social Security Administration (SSA) on 673,560 applicants. This is a massive volume considering most States including Arizona typically process around 2,500 a month. They’ve processed more identities in the last 2 months than they’ve done in the last 9 years combined. Is someone scrubbing a database, or auditing “Federal Only” voters? During “new voter registration” States are to verify the driver’s license number against their own MVD database. Only in situations where no driver’s license can be provided should the State check their identity through the...

NBC political director Chuck Todd said Sunday that President Joe Biden appeared to be facing down “pretty big credibility crisis.” Todd spoke with fellow MSNBC host Willie Geist on “Sunday Today” to discuss the political news of the day, from the growing crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border to reports confirming that a U.S. drone strike had killed an Afghan aid worker and his family rather than the intended ISIS-K operators.

That tall, amiable sheriff and his little boy, Opie, heading to a fishing hole on the outskirts of Mayberry, North Carolina, at the start of "The Andy Griffith Show," were actually strolling along a backlot in Culver City, California. Ron Howard, the actor who played Opie, is now one of Hollywood's top directors. Most of the other stars – Andy Griffith; Don Knotts, who played his deputy, Barney Fife; and the actors who played Aunt Bee and Floyd the Barber – they've all passed on. After all, it's been 53 years since the show was cancelled. snip ... Koppel asked...

In the past month, a feud has broken out between the so-called “team transitory”, comprising mostly of pro-Fed, pro-Biden commentators, who urge the public to ignore the “transitory” hyperinflation that by now is painfully obvious to everyone (see today’s UMich report for the gruesome details), and not to blame either the Fed or the administration for the collapse in the dollar’s purchasing power. Then there are the realists who see a much more ominous trend in deglobalization – you know, the same trend that allowed inflation to decline along with interest rates since the early 1980s – and warn that...

Chief White House medical adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that President Joe Biden did not make a mistake when he announced booster shots for the general public starting September 20, 2020, which the FDA voted against allowing. Anchor Jake Tapper said, “I want to play what President Biden said about this booster idea one month ago.” In a video, Biden said, “The plan is for every adult to get a booster shot eight months after you got your second shot pending approval from the Food and Drug Administration, the CDC’s committee of outside...

In line recently at a Winn-Dixie supermarket in Florida, John DiDonna worried that a nearby shopper was standing too close for Covid-era comfort. DiDonna asked him to take a step back. The shopper, he says, stepped even closer. DiDonna says he snapped. “Do you love me that much?” he barked. The other person argued back; DiDonna retorted with “a sprinkling of four-letter words,” he says. “Afterwards, I was mortified.” The theater producer in Seminole County, Fla., says he has a shorter fuse these days after 18 long months of the pandemic, grappling with decisions about masks during rehearsals, employee vaccinations,...

35,000 Haitians have come to America and are hanging out. Now the question is how did they get to Mexico? Was it by boat, plane or like Jesus walking on water? The distance from Haiti to Mexico is 3,177 kilometers. This air travel distance is equal to 1,974 miles. If you travel by an airplane (which has average speed of 560 miles) from Haiti to Mexico, It takes 3.53 hours to arrive. Oh yeah, you also need a visa. A Haitian would need to carry three documents: a Mexico Tourist Card, a Mexican Tourist Visa, and a Haitian passport. The...

A new version of the plane is under construction under a contract with Boeing Corp. Ever think about how cool it might be to have a drink aboard Air Force One? Well, somebody at the Boeing facility where the new models of what will become Air Force One are being fitted out in San Antonio, Texas, left a couple of booze bottles inside the plane, sparking an investigation. The incident was first reported by The Wall Street Journal. Alcohol is officially banned at the San Antonio plant where the plane is being developed. However, two miniature bottles of tequila were...

Tell me if you’ve heard this one before. A “fully-vaccinated” celebrity gets Covid-19. They go to social media to complain about how bad it is. They proceed to tell their adoring fans to get vaccinated. They ignore the fact that the vaccines didn’t protect them from catching the disease, nor did it protect them from getting bad symptoms.Such is the case for comedian Chris Rock. The 56-year-old actor took to social media to tell his fans he had Covid-19, it is bad, and they should all get vaccinated because logic has no meaning in our world today.

Some Orange County firefighters who are protesting the county’s requirement that all employees get the COVID-19 vaccine are sounding alarms about the shot, but hospital officials say they are not seeing problems with the vaccines. This week, some firefighters told county commissioners they are responding to large numbers of people suffering medical complications from the vaccine. Advertisement “I transport more people, more Central Florida brothers and sisters, that are vaccinated with issues, adverse reactions, or with COVID than I do unvaccinated,” Wendy Williams said. “On a daily basis, dispatch receives an excessive amount of 911 calls regarding vaccine reactions,” firefighter...

The restaurant hostess had to be taken to the hospital after the attack and the three Texas tourists have since been charged with misdemeanor assault and criminal mischief. Three women visiting New York City from Texas are facing charges related to an incident in which they allegedly attacked an Italian restaurant's hostess when they were asked to show proof of vaccination at the business. The incident occurred at around 5 pm Thursday night at Carmine's long-standing restaurant located on Broadway Ave at 91st St. in Manhattan's Upper West Side. The situation turned physical the moment the three women were asked...

Samuel Adams just created a new beer that’s so strong, it’s illegal — in 28 states, at least. The brand just released its 12th batch of Utopias beer, according to a press release from the company. Utopias, which is barrel-aged and released every two years, is described by the company as “a spirited blend of multiple batches of our extreme beers.” This particular batch was finished with 2,000 pounds of cherries and offers “subtle notes of honeyed apricot and caramel to the rich layers of flavor.” The reason it’s illegal in 28 states, however, has to do with its alcohol...

In the continuing war for the truth, the good guys went to battle with a lone pea shooter against miscreants that have a military. To be precise, it is the military of the United States of America. Its leader is the latest to have been exposed trying to delegitimize Donald Trump’s presidency. First, it was the FBI, the CIA, the media, academia and others who crossed the line into political activism, and now we have clear evidence that the top man in the Pentagon also succumbed to the siren song of power. It turns out that the nation’s most admired...

It was certainly the weirdest year. It began with a supremely weird decision by the entire world, except China and Sweden, to tank the global economy.No one has ever done that before. The only major economic power to grow last year was China whose GDP is up by, I think, about 2.5 percent compared to declines everywhere else, including some actually catastrophic ones, such as 11% in the UK.This decision to tank the entire global economy is something that strengthened China, the creator of the virus, and the exporter of the virus, and weakened any opposition to China -- and...

CHINA has claimed Japan is "preparing for war" as it stages its first major military exercised for nearly 30 years. The defence drills stoked already rising tensions between the neighbours as a dispute over a chain of strategic islands threatens to escalate into open conflict. Beijing's ships and planes have made dozens of incursions this year close to the uninhabited Senkaku islands - known as Diaoyu in China. Now in a surprise move, Tokyo is pushing back at increasing aggression and plans new bases to defend the islands. It has bought new F-35 jets, converted ships into aircraft carriers and...

Death by suicide of teenagers in Australia has doubled. Lockdown stress is overwhelming mental health services. Freedom of speech is crushed. The police are hated for being political tools of corrupt woke state governments. On Saturday an old woman practising freedom of speech was bashed to the ground and pepper sprayed by socialist left government police. Rumour suggests she did not survive. How did freedom disappear? Australia is a living hell. "POLICE STATE BASTARDRY – FREEDOM, DEMOKRASI AND CIVILISED HUMANITY" https://freedom-demokrasi-and-civilised-humanity.com/2020/09/03/police-state-bastardry/

Analyzing Tragic Video Of Forcibly Masking Young Toddler At Daycare A tragic video was recently posted to Facebook by a New York mother depicting her very young toddler being forcibly masked at daycare in order to comply with an unnecessary and cruel state mandate, which video has understandably gone viral. “This is my poor kid at daycare today so I can work. #breaksmyheart #governorhochulthiswontwork #whyarewepunishingbabies.” Let’s use just a modicum of common sense to analyze this tragedy, shall we? Firstly, what is the actual risk of Covid death to a child? Per the CDC, there have been a total of...

The White House is engaging in an internal debate about a potential vaccination passport mandate for domestic air travel after Dr. Anthony Fauci has come out in support of it. "We haven't taken options off the table, but I don't have any updates to share with you at this point," White House press secretary Jen Psaki said during Thursday's daily press briefing. "Our focus is on implementation of the big steps we announced last week. "Right now, our focus is on implementing those. Part of that was also doubling fines for people who were not wearing masks on planes –...

VIDEOThere was a wild rumor that there might have been an authentic attendee at the Federal Entrapment Rally at Capitol Hill on September 18. Although it is still unknown if there was a real attendee, the area was chock full of press and police, both uniformed in full Teenage Mutant Ninja Star Wars Stormtroopers gear as well as "undercover." "Undercover" in quotes because as you can see they were wearing very loud undercover uniforms. See, the purpose of being undercover is not to let people know you are undercover. As you can see, the "undercover" cops at the Federal Entrapment...
