The DOJ's new charging document, approved by Biden's Attorney General, sheds bright light onto the Russiagate fraud and how journalistic corruption was key. A lawyer for Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign was indicted on Wednesday with one felony count of lying to the FBI about a fraudulent Russiagate story he helped propagate. Michael Sussman was charged with the crime by Special Counsel John Durham, who was appointed by Trump Attorney General William Barr to investigate possible crimes committed as part of the Russiagate investigation and whose work is now overseen and approved by Biden Attorney General Merrick Garland. Sussman's indictment, approved...

The plunge slashed the market value to just under $230 million, which is laughable for a listed developer in the city.There was no reason for the selloff - an officer at the firm’s Hong Kong office said there’s no one to attend to media inquires which is probably not a good sign -...

The internment of Japanese Americans during World War II is a well-known dark chapter in American history. What is less known today is how Japanese Americans responded to such injustice at the time. Daniel James Brown’s new book, Facing the Mountain: A True Story of Japanese American Heroes in World War II, fills this gap in our understanding.Before WWII, many first-generation Japanese immigrants in the United States, known as “Issei,” already endured racial discrimination. President Theodore Roosevelt signed the Naturalization Act of 1906, limiting naturalization to someone who was a “white person” or had African nativity and descent. Therefore, Isseis...

Jussie Smollett, Crystal Magnum and Susan Smith are three names that at various times over the last 25 years have riveted America’s attention. Smollett is a black man who lied about being attacked by two Trump supporting white racists in 2019. Magnum is a black woman who lied about being raped by three white Duke Lacrosse players in 2006. Smith is a white woman who killed her two boys in 1994 and blamed it on a fictional black carjacker. While race was central to the first and incidental to the last two, as is with much news in America, the...

In yet another indicator that they are not ok, men in America are abandoning higher education in record numbers. According to the Wall Street Journal, at the end of the 2020 academic year, the percentage of male college students dropped to just over 40 percent. Soon, if current trend lines continue, one expert predicts, for every man who earns a college degree, two women will earn a degree.On one hand, this says as much about the state of higher education as it does young men. Simply put, the ROI of higher education is just not what it used to be....

Eighteen months into the COVID-19 pandemic, the medical journal The Lancet has finally decided to publish a letter warning of the dangers of dismissing a hypothesis, in this case the lab-leak theory, before scientists test it. div class="thm-piano-mop"> In February 2020, the journal published a letter dismissing the lab-leak theory.

Former Bill Clinton adviser Dick Morris is warning that Crooked Hillary’s days may soon be numbered. Morris says Clinton may be next on John Durham’s list following the indictment of her attorney Michael Sussman. “[I]t might be that we’ve finally caught up with Hillary,” Morris declared on Sunday’s WABC 770 AM radio’s “The Cats Roundtable,”. “We don’t know yet, but I’m going to probe it, and I think that there’s some chance now.” “Durham just indicted a guy named [Michael] Sussmann … for lying to the FBI.
