The conservative activist group "Project Veritas" released a secretly recorded video showing Murphy campaign aides saying that the governor would impose broader vaccine mandates after the election is over. Late last night, the governor's office released a statement to The Lakewood Scoop website saying, "The administration has never had plans, nor is it making plans, for a blanket Covid-19 vaccine mandate."

While acting on four seasons of FX’s “American Horror Story,” Leslie Grossman estimates she’s been called upon to shoot a gun “several times.”“They’re never real guns,” she says. “Nine times out of 10, I’m using a rubber gun.” When the scene does call for a more dramatic close-up of a gun firing with a physical recoil, Grossman says she usually shoots an air gun instead, with effects added in post-production to enhance authenticity. On the most recent season, “American Horror Story: Double Feature,” Grossman recalls only using rubber guns, even while shooting them.“I even said, ‘Wait, is this gonna look...

When Attorney General Merrick Garland testified before the House Judiciary Committee last week, he told Rep. Jim Jordan that FBI agents will not be attending school board meetings. However, an activist mother in Fairfax, Virginia says the feds did show up at a school board meeting last Thursday, the same day Garland made his statement to Jordan. The mom says a Department of Homeland Security vehicle was present in the parking lot the night of the meeting. She took a photograph of it. Unmarked government-looking vehicles were also present. In addition, she says a helicopter flew overhead shining a light...

Why would a pope do such a thing?I have a few busy days right now and also people in town, so my energies are divided.However, I bring to your attention the fact that, other day, with other religious leaders Francis signed a document about “safeguarding nature” in advance of some gassy climate confab in Scotland. Antonio Socci says that the 2350 word document has not a single reference to God or a creator or creation.I have to ask myself: Why would a Pope sign such a document?On the other hand, Francis also appointed Jeffrey Sachs to the Pontifical Academy of...

Hungry for financial flexibility, a California man named Dylan shelled out a measly $150 a year to eat every meal at Six Flags Magic Mountain in order to save thousands, pay off his student loan debt, get married and purchase a house in Los Angeles. “You can pay around $150 for unlimited, year-round access to Six Flags, which includes parking and two meals a day,” Dylan, 33, explained to Mel Magazine Monday. “If you time it right, you could eat both lunch and dinner there every day.” The theme park offers guests a “premium season dining pass” which allows visitors...

A controversial new rap song mocking the leader of the free world has rocketed to the top of the iTunes charts, booting Adele from the No. 1 spot — even after getting banned on YouTube and Instagram for spreading “harmful false information.” “Let’s Go Brandon,” released last week by avowed President Donald Trump supporter Bryson Gray, has been sitting at No. 1 since Sunday, when it refused to fulfill the lyrical request of Adele’s much-hyped comeback single “Easy On Me.” (The Brit pop diva sits at No. 3 behind a random redux of Gray’s hit song by YouTube rapper Loza...

Wednesday ahead of Attorney General Merrick Garland’s testimony before the Senate , Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) slammed the White House for “trying to diminish the involvement of parents in their kids’ schools.” Garland ordered the FBI to probe parents speaking out against school boards because a letter from the National School Board Association labeled the concerned parents as “domestic terrorists.” The NSBA has since withdrawn and apologized for the letter. Kennedy said Garland was acting as a “vessel” for the White House and “won’t back off until the White House tells him to.” “Merrick Garland is the vessel here. The...

Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) has introduced legislation known as the Keeping Our COVID-19 Heroes Employed Act to protect essential workers from being fired if they do not wish to be vaccinated against the coronavirus.

Blackburn...

Democrats are scrambling to invent fresh methods of leveraging the IRS against Americans. A wealth tax and 15 percent global minimum tax are under consideration, along with a provision that allows the IRS to spy on American bank accounts.

Ron Wyden (D-OR), Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), and Angus King (I-ME) have proposed the measure. Apparently Sens. Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) approve of the plan. “The trio said the Joint Tax Committee had estimated it...

Norman, OK – For 47 years, abortionist Larry A. Burns took the lives of innocent children in the womb at his Abortion Surgery Center in Norman, Oklahoma. There will not be a forty-eighth year. That is because Burns retired in July and closed his abortion business for good. Burn’s former clinic’s location is now occupied by a medical office that does not conduct abortions. Burns was known for challenging Oklahoma pro-life bills. In 2015, he successfully sued to block a bill that would have helped bring child rapists to justice. The bill would have mandated abortion facilities submit a sample...

Patients were given a daily course of two pills for 10 days. Of those given the medication, 79 (10.6 per cent) needed hospital care compared to 15.7 per cent in the placebo group.

The websites have been widely described as disinformation and "partisan propaganda." The revelation comes less than a week before election day, and as the candidates fight for every last vote, with...
