NOTE: The following is a statement from President Trump. Last week, I announced the creation of a major new company that will challenge the dominance of the Big Tech giants and Big Media bosses. Today I want to explain more about what I am doing and why. For me, this endeavor is about much more than politics. This is about saving our country. America has always been a nation of smart, spirited, and independent people who take pride in thinking for themselves. We admire those who aren’t afraid to speak their minds, or go against the tide. Yet suddenly, we...

Has America been scammed? Have Trump supporters been framed to look like domestic terrorists, while Democrats walk away from the biggest voter fraud scam in American history? Speaking of scams…Who is Ray Epps? And why did he spend two days inciting Trump supporters to go inside the Capitol?

The same firms that volunteered to represent 9/11 terrorists pro bono now have no interest in defending the American citizens languishing in prison since January.At least 50 high-powered law firms that went out of their way to defend foreign terrorists in Guantanamo Bay free of charge are nowhere to be found as hundreds of American citizens languish in prison for charges related to entering the U.S. Capitol building during the January 6 riot.When foreign terrorists, including the accused mastermind who helped plan the 9/11 attack, were being held in the Guantanamo Bay Detention Camp, law firms from across the country...

It’s just another outbreak of that mental illness we keep hearing more and more about.. Somali killed three people and shouted ‘Allahu Akbar’: Not guilty, not an Islamist,” translated from “Somalier tötete drei Menschen und rief “Allahu Akbar”: Schuldunfähig, kein Islamist,” by Rene Rabeder, Exxpress, October 22, 2021 (thanks to Medforth): Incredulous amazement in the trial of the knife attacker of Würzburg. The Somali attacked with a stolen knife in June, killing three women and injuring several people, some of them fatally. According to a new expert opinion, the Somali was “incapable of guilt” at the time of the attack....

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) this month subtly erased its section on gain of function from its website following months of Dr. Anthony Fauci falsely denying that the organization funded such research. The original page was reportedly altered this month. It featured a series of sections, including one on gain of function, which was as follows:

Congressman Jeff Duncan (R-SC) walked off the U.S. House floor on Monday wearing a face mask that read “Let’s go, Brandon,” referencing the phrase that’s become a popular outcry for critics of the Biden Administration. Jake Sherman tweeted about the Congressman’s mask Monday night, to which Rep. Duncan responded with an emoji wearing a mask: Duncan’s move makes him the latest Republican congressman to publicly support the “Let’s go, Brandon” movement. Last week, Rep. Bill Posey (R-FL) ended a floor speech with the phrase. Biden’s supporters were not pleased with Duncan’s choice of face mask.

The Biden administration’s plan to impose a slew of financial regulations in order to counter climate change would end up having little impact on reducing global temperatures. But the measures would be quite effective at hurting economy, expanding government authority, and moving the country toward totalitarianism, according to several experts. Biden’s plan, sketched out in a recent “roadmap” White House report, would infuse projections on climate change into decisions across the financial industry (pdf). Applying for a mortgage or other loans? The bank would consider the “climate risk” of underwriting it. Taking out an insurance? “Climate risk” would play into...

Parents reveal sleazy details of how they helped capture the California mom hosting sex parties for underage children. Shannon O’Connor usually communicates with teenagers via Snapchat, according to parents. Details are surfacing about how parents helped expose a mother from Silicon Valley area who was accused of hosting wild, drunken sex parties for teenagers in her multi-million dollar California home.

Former President Trump and other White House officials were "distracted" by the 2020 election and prioritized campaigning over any COVID-19 mitigation strategies, the administration's former coronavirus advisor Deborah Birx told House investigators earlier this month. In excerpts of closed-door testimony conducted Oct. 12-13 to the House Select Coronavirus Subcommittee shared with The Hill, Birx said she felt the White House focus on campaigning took people’s time away, and distracted them from focusing on the pandemic. "I felt like the White House had gotten somewhat complacent through the campaign season, and I wanted to make sure that as soon as everyone...

Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.) is denying reports of his possible involvement in the planning of the Jan. 6 rally, but said in an interview published on Monday that he would "proud" if a member of his staff had helped plan the event that that preceded the deadly attack on the Capitol. “I had no intentions of going to that rally until Jan. 5, when the White House asked me to speak,” Brooks told AL.com in a phone interview, explaining his appearance at the rally. During the interview, the Alabama congressman denied a report in Rolling Stone over the weekend that...

Demons Invited Into SanctuaryCA's pagan MassA California bishop offered Mass to open the Synod of Bishops, with participants in full regalia — pagan regalia. Dream catchers and feathers were the order of the day, along with dancers and an apparent shaman. Church Militant's William Mahoney has more on the event and the bishop overseeing it.Two Sundays ago, drums were heard thumping as a man stood at the pulpit shaking a maraca, waving a feather, and bowing to each of the four directions at the commencement Mass led by San Bernardino's Bp. Alberto Rojas.At the responsorial psalm, fully masked interpretative dancers...

Members of the EU Parliament held a press conference today 22 Oct 2021, to express their opposition to the vaccine mandates and their concern over the loss of civil rights and freedom. MEP Christine Anderson, after emphasizing the importance of human rights, said: "Let me say this, I am not afraid of this virus. What I am afraid of is governments abusing this or any other «crisis» for that matter, to infringe on civil rights, to revoke them or to question freedom altogether. https://freedomnorthmedia.com/eu-oppose-vaccine-mandate

Critical Race Theory demonizes Whites and seeks to create dangerous racial tribalism within America. Less obviously, CRT (by which I mean all variations of the theme holding that America and White people are irredeemably racist) is that it paints minorities, especially Blacks, as pathetic, helpless people. For all the talk about "Black power" and "strong Black women," those Blacks marinated in CRT view themselves as weak — and nothing illustrates that better than Kyla N. Golding's opinion piece in the Harvard Crimson.Golding, two years away from graduation and a "Crimson Editorial editor," decided to go public with her decision to...

President Biden’s Education Department appointed National School Boards president Viola Garcia to a federal board overseeing student progress two days after Garcia signed a letter asking the Biden administration to target parents as “domestic terrorists.” Garcia was appointed to the National Assessment Governing Board earlier this month by Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona. The NAGB has oversight over National Assessment of Educational Progress, which “is the largest continuing and nationally representative assessment of what our nation’s students know and can do in subjects such as mathematics, reading, science, and writing.” Garcia signed the letter asking Biden for federal assistance in...

As President Biden’s spending package faces labored debate, Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, suggested on "Special Report" that Democrats are willing to do "almost anything" in their desperation to pass the bill. Romney: Well, I think the Democrats are pretty desperate. They want to get something done for the president because he's kind of circling the drain with the electorate in the country. And as a result, they're willing to do almost anything, I think. So I think you're going to see legislation passed. But the real problem is the legislation is not popular with the American people and it doesn't...

Watch out, Larry Elder—“the black face of white supremacy”—you’ve now got some competition from Condoleezza Rice, a “foot soldier for white supremacy.” That’s how former MSNBC host Touré described Rice after her recent appearance blasting Critical Race Theory on “The View.” Condoleezza Rice’s recent appearance on The View was offensive and disgusting for many reasons, but she was who we thought she was: a soldier for white supremacy. Her thoughts on Critical Race Theory are completely white centric, as in, they revolve around the thoughts and needs of white people. Her primary argument against Critical Race Theory is that history...

It's becoming increasingly easy to see that Anthony Fauci isn't just a power-mad bureaucrat, but also a malignant narcissist. Over the last two days, increasingly awful details have emerged about the beagles who suffered terribly thanks to experiments Fauci funded. Then, yesterday, word emerged that the entire NIH is good with torturing animals, for NIH has used hundreds of thousands in taxpayer dollars for cruel experiments on animals, all of them of seemingly dubious value.As is true for so many Americans, I am a dog-lover. I've had dogs for most of my life, and I value them tremendously. I also...

Disruptions and chaos in global supply chains continue to plague industries around the world, with the latest commodity that is seeing supply shortages being magnesium, a metal widely used in a number of industries such as aluminum alloys - all adding to increasing signs of the urgency to establish a global supply-chain coordination mechanism to find win-win solutions rather than pressing one side to fix the problem. In Europe, industry groups, including metal producers, auto suppliers and the packaging sector, warned recently that the magnesium shortage may threaten thousands of businesses, supply chains and millions of jobs across the continent,...

The American Constitutional Rights Union defines a crisis tyrant as a leader who uses a crisis — like the COVID-19 pandemic — to justify and grease the skids of their tyrannical behavior. The “crisis” element adds a layer or two of “despicable” as the exercise of power comes on the backs of those enduring a crisis or tragedy. Most of us don’t have to look far to find a local crisis tyrant. Here in the Lowcountry of South Carolina, we experienced crisis tyrants popping out of our city council chambers like whack-a-moles. When federal, state, and local governments were scratching...
