On this date in 1938, Adam “Eddie” Richetti was gassed for a notorious gangland bloodbath, the Kansas City Massacre. Whether he was actually involved in said massacre is a different question. Richetti was a sidekick of the much better-known outlaw Charles “Pretty Boy” Floyd, a guy who earned his cred in social banditry by taking time during his many Depression-era bank robberies to set fire to the mortgage liens.* J. Edgar Hoover promoted this looker to Public Enemy Number One after the slot was vacated by the late John Dillinger — and that spotlight was much due to a railroad...

Parents, wake up! Your children are being taken from you without you realizing. Think for a second about the last family dinner you had with your son or daughter. What were they doing? Were they present in the conversation, enjoying the meal with you? Or were their heads stuck in their phones, giggling every now and then? My guess is that it is probably the latter. Our youth today are addicted to their phones and technology. Apps like TikTok have poisoned the brains of our future generation. The Wall Street Journal recently did an investigation on the app's algorithm, trying...

<p>Ask yourself: What kind of president goes up to Capitol Hill and urges members of his own party not to vote for one of his top legislative priorities?</p><p>Answer: the same president who threatened to veto his own bill.</p><p>Recall that in June, President Biden announced he had reached a $1.2 trillion infrastructure deal with a bipartisan group of senators — and then promptly declared that he would veto that deal unless Congress also approved a massive Democrat-only social spending bill. “If this is the only thing that comes to me, I’m not signing it,” he declared.</p>

A fatal car accident took the lives of three people from Gainesville, Georgia on April 25, when the driver allegedly lost control of his car and swerved into an oncoming truck. The victims included Hannah Simmons , 23, who was a few months pregnant, her 9-month-old daughter A'lannah and mother of two, Lauren Butea, 28. That day Anisa Gannon, 19, was driving to work, when she encountered the accident while sitting in traffic. She snapped a quick photo of the scene on her phone to show her boss — just in case she was late. At first, Gannon didn't find...

The family of the young man who allegedly injured four people, including his teacher, when he opened fire at a Texas high school claim the 18-year-old brought a handgun for protection after being targeted by bullies for wearing nice clothes and driving a nice car. Timothy George Simpkins, a student at Timberview High School in Arlington, was charged with three counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after turning himself in Wednesday afternoon. He was accused of firing a .45-caliber handgun during a fight with another student.

Retired ICE Special Agent and author of “Agent Under Fire,” Victor Avila, is a hero. 100 Percent Fed Up spoke exclusively with the retired federal agent, who regularly travels to our southern border to help boost US Border agents’ morale and report the truth to the American public about what is really happening with our open border with Mexico.

Catholic Bishop Mar Joseph Kallarangatt’s remarks that youth from non-Muslim faiths are falling prey to “narcotics jihad” has stirred controversy in the southern Indian state of Kerala. “Various types of drugs are being used in ice-cream parlours, hotels and juice corners run by hardcore jihadis,” Kallarangatt said in his sermon to devotees at Marth Mariam Pilgrim Church in Kerala’s Kottayam district on September 10, adding that “they are using various types of drugs as a weapon to spoil non-Muslims.” “Narcotics jihad is the activity of spoiling the life of non-Muslims, particularly youths, by making them addicted to drugs,” the bishop...

White House press secretary Jen Psaki pushed back against climate envoy John Kerry's admission that President Biden had not been aware of the French ire brought on by the AUKUS submarine deal. 'Of course he knew about the French being displeased,' Psaki said, after Monday when Kerry said Biden 'literally had not been aware' of the fallout of the AUKUS submarine deal that caused France to lose a $90billion submarine contract.

When did we decide that arguing was intolerable? Possibly it was when we determined that arguments were not about whether we were right or wrong but whether we were good or bad. We had to be right (we are good), and the others to be wrong (they are bad). What had once been intellectual arguments buttressed on each side by facts and figures morphed into moral determinations. Those who agree with me are good people; those who don't are bad people. Here's an example: Last month, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology disinvited Dr. Dorian Abbot, a professor of geophysical science...

SILVER SPRING, Md. (AP) — Searching for flights on Google just got “greener.” A new search feature rolled out Wednesday tells users which flights have lower carbon emissions, giving them the ability to choose flights based on carbon emissions just as they would price or the number of layovers. A basic search for flights will give an estimate of how many kilograms of carbon dioxide the flight will spew from start to finish. Users can prioritize their search by emissions, much like they can by price, if desired. Flights with emissions below the median get highlighted in green. Google said...

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said on Wednesday that he opposes a short-term debt hike being hashed out by Senate leadership and that Republicans shouldn't be "held hostage" due to concerns that Democrats could change the filibuster. Graham, the top Republican on the Budget Committee, is the first Senate Republican to speak out against the tentative deal that is still being worked out by Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.). "I do not support the Democrats’ reconciliation package and I do not support raising the debt limit to make that level of spending possible....

Competition between the United States and China might look less like a single sharp, decisive conflict between Washington and Beijing, and more like a series of militarized conflicts in a broader context of trade and cooperation. This would represent more of an 18th-century appreciation of international conflict, seeing no wars as particularly decisive in themselves, but rather each as a step to improving a state’s position for the next conflict. As Paul von Hindenburg said of annexing the Baltic States into the German Empire during World War I, “I need them for the manoeuvring of my left wing in the...

Pfizer is using aborted fetal tissue to produce the Vaccine “One of more cell lines with an origin that can be traced back to human fetal tissue has been used in laboratory tests associated with the Vaccine program. We have not received any questions from policy makers or media on the issue so we want to avoid raising this if possible.” “We want to avoid having the information on the fetal cell lines floating out there. We believe the risk of communication this right now outweighs any potential benefit that we could see, particularly with general members of the public...

“If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9). Continuous confession characterizes Christians. Yesterday we learned that the only condition for receiving God’s gracious forgiveness is to “walk in the light”—in other words, to be a true Christian (1 John 1:7). At first glance, today’s verse appears to contradict that truth by adding a condition—namely, confession of sin. Such is not the case, however. First John 1:9 could be translated, “If we are the ones confessing our sins, He is forgiving us.” This verse...

The story of Esther is one of intense spiritual warfare. The devil was trying to destroy God’s people on earth, this time through the evil Haman. This wealthy, influential man persuaded the king of Persia to declare an edict calling for the death of every Jew under his rule, from India to Ethiopia. The first Jew in Haman’s sight was righteous Mordecai, Esther’s uncle. Haman had gallows built especially for Mordecai, but Esther intervened, calling God’s people to prayer and laying her life on the line to countermand Haman’s order. The king not only reversed the death order, but he...

Los Angeles-based writer Hannah Bhuiya attended Hunter Biden’s art extravaganza last Friday and told the Daily Mail the president’s son had secret service in “every corner” of the room. “You can tell because they all had wires in their ears. They were all wearing khaki trousers, but very discreet around the edges of the room,” said Bhuiya, who attended the nearly 200-person event because she “wanted to see what the son of the president’s crowd would be, what that would be like.”

PITTSFORD, N.Y. (WHEC) — The Pittsford Central School District said allegations of racist taunts at two recent high school soccer games are unfounded. News10NBC first reported on the story last week. The games that the incidents were reported to have happened at were on Tuesday, Sept. 28 and Wednesday, Sept. 29. Players from Greece Arcadia claimed they were subjected to racial slurs at both the Pittsford Mendon boys and girls soccer games, but in a letter sent to families and staff Wednesday night, Superintendent of Schools Michael Pero said evidence does not support the serious allegations.

This isn’t even fun anymore. Political operatives masquerading as “whistleblowers,” Politicians giving lip service only to their stupid policies. Unfortunately people are still getting fired for not playing along with political mandates. Children are still forced to wear rags on their faces during their mandatory indoctrination pogroms.Of course it’s nothing more than cynical, hypocritical, virtue signaling and political theatre. Of course it’s about control not cooties. If you don’t recognize the mask for what it is by now you never will. But sure, the jerks that tell you to mask up while they enjoy a maskless dinner party, celebrity event,...
