Former Minneapolis police officer Mohamed Noor who fatally shot an unarmed woman after she called 911 to report a possible rape behind her home was sentenced Thursday to 57 months (just under five years) on a lesser charge after his murder conviction was overturned. The sentence announced by Judge Kathryn Quaintance was the maximum allowed under the state's sentencing guidelines, which call for a range of 41 to 57 months. Noor had sought the shortest possible term. In Minnesota, defendants with good behavior typically serve two-thirds of their sentence in prison, and the rest on supervised release. He is likely...

One week after officially becoming a former ESPN employee for refusing the company’s Covid vaccine mandate, sports reporter Allison Williams spoke with Megyn Kelly about her decision. During the interview on SiriusXM, Kelly asked Williams about President Joe Biden stating vaccine order “isn’t about your freedom,” last month. “I have never been so jarred by anything a president said,” Williams said while acknowledging we just spent four years with Donald Trump in office. “To hear the leader of the free world stand up and say, ‘this isn’t about your freedom, I thought ‘oh my god, it is ALWAYS about our...

Jim Jordan, one of America’s bravest freedom fighters, tried to show this in today’s hearing. This is the video of parents at school board meetings that @RepJerryNadler refused to let us play at today’s Judiciary Committee hearing. Why does the Left feel so threatened by brave American parents?

A comic book colorist says he is fed up with the left turn at DC Comics and he is quitting over the latest left-wing change to the Superman character. Gabe Eltaeb made the comments during a guest appearance on a YouTube show hosted by Cyberfrog creator Ethan Van Sciver. "What really pissed me off was saying truth, justice, and a better world. F*** that it was Truth, Justice, and the American way," said Eltaeb. He was referring to the announcement from the publisher of Superman comics that they would be dropping "the American way" from the character's motto for the...

Legacy outlets are making fools of themselves by spinning the news that President Joe Biden’s Internal Revenue Service is targeting Americans and their bank accounts. The National Review editorial board reported Oct. 15 that a “provision tucked into the House reconciliation bill would let the Internal Revenue Service peer into the bank account of virtually every American.” It continued: “If passed, the rule would require financial institutions to report the cash flows of every account with more than $600 in deposits or transactions.” The $600 reporting threshold was later revised up to $10,000 after backlash. Legacy media outlets went berserk...

Investors on Thursday piled into shares of the special-purpose acquisition company taking former President Donald Trump’s new social-media platform public, igniting a buying frenzy reminiscent of the SPAC craze from early this year.

Joe Biden has a problem. Well, yes, he has more than one problem. But this problem will almost certainly cost him and the Democrats dearly at the polls. Biden promised every good little girl and good little boy that Santa Claus would, indeed, make it to their houses on Christmas Eve after the Grinch tried to sabotage Santa’s mission by causing a huge backlog at American ports, keeping cargo from foreign countries — where all the really great presents like smartphones and games originate — from being unloaded on American docks. He ordered the Port of Los Angeles to remain...

Introduction I begin with the foundational axiom that Christ rose from the dead, and that He was who He claimed to be. Everything else follows. Christ is therefore Lord. He, the incarnate one, was sent into the world by the Father for us men and for our salvation. He was born of a woman, born under law, lived a perfect and sinless life, thus qualifying Him to be our sacrificial and pascal lamb. He suffered on the cross, as was appointed for Him, He was buried in a stone tomb, and three days later, in accordance with the prophetic and...

On Saturday night, CNN Newsroom weekend host Pamela Brown devoted a segment to promoting abortion as an important option for underage girls as she spoke with a young woman who had an abortion at age 17, and does not regret doing it. The pro-abortion activist even claimed that it "saved my life" by making it easier to go to college. The segment also suggested that it was unreasonable to require underage girls to get either the consent of their parents or of a judge before getting an abortion. Brown introduced her guest, Veronika Granado, as she set up the segment:...

WASHINGTON (AP) — The House voted Thursday to hold Steve Bannon, a longtime ally and aide to former President Donald Trump, in contempt of Congress for defying a subpoena from the committee investigating the violent Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection. In a rare show of bipartisanship on the House floor, the committee’s Democratic chairman, Mississippi Rep. Bennie Thompson, led the floor debate along with Republican Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming, one of two Republicans on the panel. Still, the vote was 229-202 with most GOP lawmakers voting “no,” despite the potential consequences for Congress if witnesses are allowed to ignore its...

Blood donation policies for men who have sex with men (MSM) have been the subject of much attention in recent years. Throughout the world, countries are reexamining their policies; many have reduced deferral times for MSM, while others have eliminated them altogether or implemented alternative policies to address infectious disease risk. In the United Kingdom, for example, a new a new donor eligibility process was implemented this summer in which all blood donors – regardless of gender – are asked about recent sexual activity. Similarly, in Italy and Spain, MSM are no longer addressed in deferral policies; instead, the deferral...

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) tacitly confirmed reports that have long circulated regarding moderate Sen. Kyrsten Sinema’s (D-Ariz.) opposition to raising corporate tax rates. Though her colleague Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W. Va.) has controlled headlines for months, Sinema has joined with Manchin on a number of key issues. Because of the Democrats’ razor-thin one-vote majority in the upper chamber, Democratic leadership cannot spare a single defection; But Sinema, like Manchin, has broken with the party on a laundry list of issues. Yet Sinema, as has been her tendency, has been unwilling to give her opinion on various issues...

The $200,000 in cumulative donations to McAuliffe this cycle is not the first time that Burkle, a major Democrat donor, has given to the former governor. Between 2013 and 2021, McAuliffe has received over $450,000 from Burkle for his campaigns and his political action committee, Common Good VA. The billionaire supporting McAuliffe’s campaign is also a reported associate of both Epstein and former President Clinton, having been named in the convicted sex criminal’s infamous "black book" as well as Epstein’s private jet travel log. Additionally, it has also been reported that his custom-outfitted Boeing 757 with a bed chamber is...

Last week, the National Assessment of Education Progress issued its latest long-term trend assessment report. The results are clear: We are failing to teach our children the basics of math and reading. These results are based on tests taken before the pandemic. Just imagine how much worse the next round of tests will be due to all the interruptions to learning and education, as well as the additional stress caused by the pandemic. The report, titled "The Nation's Report Card," show that we are getting worse, not better, at teaching our children reading and math. This should concern everyone --...

The Joe Biden presidency is collapsing and the networks don’t want you to know about it. Two just-released polls have found the Democrat at record lows. But between the evening newscasts on Tuesday and the morning shows on Wednesday, offered zero coverage of the very bad news for Biden. According to Quinnipiac, the President sits at 40 percent approval. It’s even worse for the Grinnell College poll, showing Biden at just 37 percent approval and 50 percent disapproval. Both are respected polling companies and included in the Real Clear Politics Average of polls. (The new numbers can be found here.)...
