Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley said Tuesday she would consult with former President Donald Trump before beginning a run for the White House despite disagreeing with him about the outcome of the 2020 election, The Wall Street Journal reported. Haley, a former South Carolina governor, was expected to discuss the Republican Party’s future during her appearance at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California, on Tuesday night. Calling Trump a friend, Haley likely would "navigate around" the former president’s role in the GOP, the Journal reported. "He has a strong legacy from his administration," Haley told the Journal....

It once may have been seen as a sign of strength and dedication to show up at work with the flu. It was never smart, given the possibility of infecting co-workers. But the era of COVID-19 has put an end to those times. Symptoms of COVID-19 and flu can be similar. Someone who guesses wrong could spread COVID-19. The only way to be sure is to get tested. “Gone are the days when you can have the flu symptoms and still go to work and be out in public,” said Dr. Denise Johnson, Pennsylvania’s acting physician general. Johnson further urged...

New body camera footage reveals Minneapolis police officers talked about "hunting" down protesters and celebrated shooting them with rubber bullets five days after the murder of George Floyd. The new batch of videos released Tuesday is part of the criminal case against Jaleel Stallings, who was accused of trying to kill police officers. Stallings was acquitted of all charges earlier this summer after arguing he fired in self-defense at an unmarked van. The videos are a snapshot of the police response on the first Saturday after Floyd’s murder last spring. It was after curfew and the bodycam footage shows officers...

Former President Donald Trump's ire for Republicans in Name Only (RINOs) extends beyond just U.S. House and Senate seats, as he chimes in with a "complete and total endorsement" of Texas state Senate candidate Kevin Sparks. Trump wrote in a statement Tuesday from his Save America PAC: "Kevin Sparks of the Great State of Texas is running against RINO Texas Sen. Kel Seliger, who is not helpful to our great MAGA Movement and, in fact, seems like the Texas version of Mitt Romney (and that is not good!). "Kevin is a businessman, loves the people of Midland and West Texas,...

Dr. Jessica Rose, a PhD computational biologist, molecular biologist and immunologist, conservatively calculates that over 150,000 people have died from the Covid vaccine in America as of August 28, 2021. (Click here for her website and numerous articles & presentations.) Using the VAERS [Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System] database and independent rates of anaphylaxis events from a Mass. General [Hospital] study, we computed a 41x under-reporting factor for serious adverse events in VAERS, leading to an estimate of over 150,000 excess deaths caused by the vaccine. The estimates were validated multiple independent ways.[1] On September 20, 2021, a group of...

President Joe Biden arrived in Michigan Tuesday to hawk his $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill and the larger budget bill at a union hall.

If they ever make a movie about NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace, it should be called "Greased Lying." It would be the perfect follow-up to the 1977 biopic "Greased Lightning," which dramatized the life and times of Wendell Scott, the first allegedly black race car driver to win a NASCAR event. No. What we're all witnessing is a distortion of history. Corporate media wants us to believe Bubba Wallace is Wendell Scott and 2021 is 1963. Let me try another movie analogy. Bubba Wallace is Marty McFly starring in "Half-Black to the Future." The media believes Bubba's stock car transports him...

Six months ago, few Americans had heard of Evergrande. Now many worry this Chinese property developer’s downfall will start an economically devastating chain reaction. They’re right about the chain reaction part, but I don’t think it will “devastate” anyone outside China (unless they have business there). Nonetheless, this episode exposes some other China issues worth discussing. A few months ago in Xi’s Big Mistake, I said Beijing risked killing the entrepreneurial activity that had spurred the country’s rapid growth. As we learn more, this is looking less like a mistake and more like a mistakenly-conceived plan. It’s hard to be...

Victims of abuse within France’s Catholic Church welcomed a historic turning point Tuesday after a new report estimated that 330,000 children in France were sexually abused over the past 70 years, providing the country’s first accounting of the worldwide phenomenon. The figure includes abuses committed by some 3,000 priests and an unknown number of other people involved in the church — wrongdoing that Catholic authorities covered up over decades in a “systemic manner,” according to the president of the commission that issued the report, Jean-Marc Sauvé.

The rejection by the Iowa State Senate of the first redistricting map submitted by the LSA means that there will be no need for a vote on the plan by the Iowa House of Representatives, where Speaker of the House Pat Grassley, grandson of Chuck Grassley, had come under criticism from Republicans for his unwillingness to publicly reject the first LSA map, as Breitbart News reported Saturday: Speaker of the Iowa House of Representatives Pat Grassley has not yet indicated whether he will support or oppose a redistricting plan submitted by the state’s Legislative Services Agency (LSA) that is favorable...
