One year ago, The Post revealed that Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop carried proof he sold influence while his father served as vice president — and his dad, now president, knew it. Yet most other media treated the story itself as the scandal, reporting only on vague claims that sought to undermine it rather than rushing (as they would’ve under the last president) to advance it themselves. And Twitter and Facebook rushed to block it, squelching vital information even as America voted. None of them has learned any lesson except that it worked: Big Tech and Big Media got their way,...

SEATTLE — (AP) — The Boeing Co. has told employees they must be vaccinated against COVID-19 or possibly be fired. The Seattle Times reports the deadline for workers at the aerospace giant is Dec. 8. “Compliance with these requirements is a condition of employment,” states a Boeing internal presentation from Tuesday viewed by the newspaper. “Employees who are unable to meet these requirements ... may be released from the company.” Employees can request exemptions “due to a disability or sincerely held religious belief.” Any employee granted such an exemption will have to “undergo frequent testing for COVID-19” and be ready...

Mick Jagger and Keith Richards have announced the Rolling Stones will stop performing hit song Brown Sugar, amid discomfort about the 50-year-old classic's references to slavery. The band, currently on the road for a 13-date U.S. tour, have not played Brown Sugar - one of their most recognizable songs - since kicking off in St Louis on September 26. The 1969 song has been a staple of their live show since it came out 50 years ago, and is the second most played song in their catalog after Jumpin' Jack Flash, with 1,136 known performances, according to Rolling Stone magazine....

Jen Psaki White House Press Secretary mocked Ted Cruz today when she was asked by a Fox News reporter about Biden’s vaccine mandate reducing the workforce and contributing to the airline problem:As CSPAN notes in their tweet, Psaki said “I know world-renowned business, travel, and health expert Senator Ted Cruz has made that point, but I wouldn’t say that is widely acknowledged or echoed by business leaders…by health experts…”The Fox News reporter didn’t mention Cruz in her question, Psaki just decided to mock Cruz on her own, probably assuming that because it’s Fox News, Cruz was the one behind the...

Catholic U.S. troops should be allowed to refuse the COVID-19 vaccine based solely on conscientious objection and regardless of whether abortion-related tissue was used in its creation or testing, the archbishop for the military declared in a new statement supporting service members who are seeking religious exemptions.

An Ohio man's life-saving kidney transplant surgery was canceled because of Cleveland Clinic's new vaccination policy, his wife has said. Mike Ganim was told his polycystic kidney disease was so advanced that he needed a new kidney around two years ago and, following months of preparation, transplant surgery was scheduled to take place on Wednesday. But his wife Debi Ganim told WKYC that they were informed on Friday that it would not be going ahead because of the clinic's new policy that requires COVID-19 vaccinations for both transplant recipients and living donors. Although Mike Ganim is fully vaccinated against COVID-19,...

A record 4.3 million Americans voluntarily quit their jobs in August according to the latest data from the US Department of Labor. Approximately 4 million people per month have been leaving their jobs since the spring, as part of a trend that has become known as the Great Resignation. It is a sign that workers believe they have leverage in a jobs market defined by labour shortages, as the economy rebalances in what is hoped to be the tapering off of the Covid-19 pandemic. Wages are rising quickly as businesses struggle to hire staff and many companies are adding signing...

Michael Vick killed dogs for sport and was heralded by the National Football League. Richard Sherman is playing right now after being arrested for domestic violence, one of dozens of players who did not lose their jobs over actual violence against women. Jon Gruden sent private emails that equated to thought crimes and will never coach in the NFL again. This encapsulates America today in which breaking “woke” rules is far more serious of a crime than committing actual violence. As Daily Wire’s Matt Walsh posted earlier on Facebook: Richard Sherman was arrested for domestic violence this past summer. He...

SNIP The NFL reportedly has 650,000 emails from the NFL’s workplace misconduct investigation into the Washington Football Team, but the only ones that have seen the light of day are the unhinged ones from Gruden. Maybe there are no more of interest, but why are some being protected and others not? SNIP The NFL did not suspend Daniel Snyder. The NFL did not say anything of substance about its findings. The NFL’s Brian McCarthy said, “Based on the material that we have reviewed, we haven’t identified anything that needed to be reported to club or league leadership” SNIP But the...

The law of supply and demand. It’s the bedrock of economics, the “invisible hand” that puts prices where they need to be, the glue that holds every capitalist society together. And, over the last few months, it’s been the plight of Canadians. Rampant demand and short supplies have hiked prices and rates on nearly everything. We’re talking Everest. From cars to bacon to furniture to hotel rooms, everything seems to cost substantially more. For the past eight months, we’ve seen inflation steadily rising. And through all the price hikes and short supplies, the Bank of Canada’s response has been relatively...

One day after Gruden resigned as head coach of the Raiders in wake of an unsettling email controversy, the Buccaneers said Tuesday that they will remove his name from the franchise’s Ring of Honor. “The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have advocated for purposeful change in the areas of race relations, gender equality, diversity and inclusion for many years,” the team said in a statement. “While we acknowledge Jon Gruden’s contributions on the field, his actions go against our core values as an organization. Therefore, he will no longer continue to be a member of the Buccaneers Ring of Honor.” The 58-year-old...

WASHINGTON, D.C.—America collectively breathed a sigh of relief today as Dr. Fauci announced he was giving everyone permission to go trick or treating this year. "I must clarify one thing, though—and let me be perfectly clear while I clarify one small point in order to make it clear for everyone, as clearly as I possibly can," said Fauci. "If your child is unvaccinated, he should NOT be given any of the good candy. No Reese's or Snickers or any of that. Candy Corn only. That's it." Beloved NBC anchor Chuck Todd responded to Fauci's recommendation and asked for clarification. "So...

California Governor Gavin Newsom’s daughter Montana turned 12 almost a month ago. Newsom announced the first statewide COVID-19 vaccination requirement for schools on October 1. When Newsom announced the first-in-the-nation vaccine mandate ordering all students and school staff to be vaccinated “for in-person school attendance” no later than January 1, 2022, he conveniently neglected to admit that his own daughter had yet to be vaccinated until he was interviewed a week later by the Los Angeles Times. Even then, Newsom gave a vague reason for why his daughter, who was eligible, wasn’t yet vaccinated, “because she has ‘a series of...

On Oct. 8, 2021, Southwest Airlines Pilots Association (SWAPA) filed a motion for temporary and preliminary injunctive relief in its ongoing lawsuit with Southwest Airlines, Co., initially filed on Aug. 30, 2021. The original complaint asserts the airlines are in violation of the Railway Labor Act (RLA), among other things, Sec. 6, which requires the parties to maintain “status quo” until a new agreement is reached. The lawsuit maintains that the carrier can not alter pay rates, rules, and working conditions until a new agreement is reached. Friday’s filing, seeking an immediate hearing, declares: “Most recently, on Oct. 4, 2021,...

A report resulting from an internal audit of Fulton County’s shameful election management practices has received little attention from the media. As shocking as that may be, and despite the expectation that such a report would be only somewhat critical of itself, the findings have led to several damning revelations. Apart from the self-initiated analysis and audits we’ve seen coming from Georgia this year, which only seemed to confirm perfection. Such was the case with the “forensic audit” of the voting machines, which The Gateway Pundit exclusively reported was nothing but a sham. The Fulton County internal audit was different...

As more information is unearthed from the Pandora Papers story in the coming months, it could become more fascinating than WikiLeaks. audio I think the stories that have begun to appear in The Washington Post on the Pandora Project are fascinating. A worldwide network of investigative reporters has complied nearly 12 million files involving secret deals, evaded taxes, and other corruption by world leaders and billionaires. I don’t know how much of this is illegal, but I encourage you that check out the Pandora Papers story as it unfolds over the next month or two. I think you’ll find it...

Two GOP officials have urged Republicans to vote Democratic in the 2022 midterm elections to bolster the party from candidates they described as "pro-Trump extremists." Miles Taylor, a Trump-era Department of Homeland Security chief of staff, and Christine Todd Whitman, a former Republican governor of New Jersey, wrote a New York Times op-ed that ran Monday. Taylor is best known for anonymously writing a 2018 op-ed article in The Times describing a "resistance" of Trump administration officials working to tamper what he called the former president's "worst inclinations." Together, Taylor and Whitman asked that the GOP's base consider supporting Democrats...
