Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA), the ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, say President Joe Biden’s reported plans to give $450,000 payouts to each border crosser subjected to former President Trump’s “Zero Tolerance” policy are “offensive to the American people.

The incident occurred on the Belt Parkway in Brooklyn around 4 p.m., the New York Police Department told Fox News. An NYPD Highway Patrol officer initially pulled over a Jeep Cherokee traveling east on the freeway for speeding, NYPD Chief of Department Rodney Harrison told reporters Thursday night. When the officer approached the vehicle, the driver, who was the sole occupant, sped away, he said "The officer followed the car and positioned her unmarked car in front of his vehicle," Harrison said. The driver rear-ended the officer's vehicle and continued to flee, he said. Another NYPD highway unit pulled the...

When Xie Zhenhua, China’s top climate negotiator, took to the podium Wednesday at the U.N. Climate Change Conference (COP26) in Glasgow to announce a U.S.–China declaration on methane emissions and other issues, he revealed that his team had met their American counterparts some 30 times, including twice in China, in Tianjin. So a reporter asked America’s lead negotiator, John Kerry, how and whether, during his team’s nearly three dozen encounters with China’s team, they addressed Beijing’s use of forced labor and other human-rights issues in Xinjiang. The former secretary of state’s answer was unsurprising to anyone who’s listened to him...

Newly-released internal emails reveal that the National School Boards Association coordinated with the White House and the Department of Justice before sending President Biden the notorious letter that compared concerned parents to domestic terrorists. Emails provided to Fox News show that NSBA had coordinated with the White House for weeks beforehand. Viola Garcia, the NSBA president whom the Department of Education later named to a federal board, sent a memo to NSBA members on October 11 (but dated October 12), providing a timeline of the NSBA's interaction with the White House ahead of the letter to Biden, which the NSBA...

Isn’t great that America is back and the adults are back in charge? America is back, all right: all the way back to 1979, the last time we had a president so weak that enemies of the United States stormed one of our embassies and took hostages. On Thursday, the Yemeni media outlet Al-Masdar Online reported that Houthi jihadis in Yemen, which are backed by the Islamic Republic of Iran, stormed our embassy in Sana’a, seizing “large quantities of equipment and materials.” Just days before that, according to the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), they “kidnapped three Yemeni nationals...

In case there isn't enough righteous indignation to be had over the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and Democratic politicians insisting on mask mandates for children, get ready for more. As Mary Kekatos reported for Daily Mail on Wednesday, the United States is just one of seven western nations with such mask mandates for children. And, even though the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) just approved the Pfizer vaccine for children 5-11 years old, it doesn't look like the powers that be are ready to soften up. Megyn Kelly tweeted Kekatos' article, noting how the distinction is a "badge of...

Kenosha County Circuit Judge Bruce Schroeder has the eyes of the nation on him right now. During trial Thursday, Schroeder made a racial comment that has caused outrage on social media. Many believe the quip, which was an attempt at a joke, was inappropriate. “I hope the Asian food isn’t coming ... isn’t on one of those boats along Long Beach Harbor," said Schroeder in response to an inquiry for a lunch break. The comment may be in regard to the situation unfolding on the west coast. A record-breaking number of cargo ships are waiting off the coast of California...

The man who single handedly is holding journalism & journalists accountable and showing regular people how they're all inbred back scratchers.

The lone survivor shot by Kyle Rittenhouse in Kenosha, Wisconsin, last year said Thursday that he believes the teen’s emotional display at his murder trial was mostly about him being “upset that he was caught” for the shootings.Gaige Grosskreutz, 27, a paramedic shot in the arm, said it was “emotional” to watch Rittenhouse, 18, testify about injuring him and killing two other men last summer as riots broke out in the city over racial injustice.

Cardinal Cupich and The Big LieCardinal Blase Cupich recently furthered The Big Lie of our times.This Lie of surpassing Bigness is not the systematic cover-up of decades of sexual abuse by ecclesiastical authorities, although this can certainly be laid at their feet. Neither is it the strange eagerness of many bishops to promote illegal immigration, resettlement, and the mass injection of citizens with abortion-tainted serums (positions entirely unrelated to attracting government funding as a replacement for collapsing pew-sitter revenues, so we’re told).No, The Big Lie considered here is far more fundamental, nefarious, and harmful to man’s salvation. This lie has...

You would assume that if the CDC was going to crush the civil and individual rights of those with natural immunity by having them expelled from school, fired from their jobs, separated from the military, and worse, the CDC would have proof of at least one instance of an unvaccinated, naturally immune individual transmitting the COVID-19 virus to another individual. If you thought this, you would be wrong.My firm, on behalf of ICAN, asked the CDC for precisely this proof (see below). ICAN wanted to see proof of any instance in which someone who previously had COVID-19 became reinfected with...

A photo emerged Thursday of a chart comparing freshman admissions rates at the University of Maryland between two categories, “White or Asian students” and “Students of Color minus Asian.” The photo has the University of Maryland’s logo attached at the bottom. The chart compared admissions and enrollment rates among freshmen in the fall of 2017 to admissions rates in the fall of 2021. The data showed that general admissions have gone up as have average weighted GPAs, according to the chart posted by journalist Christopher Rufo. The chart classifies students by race, though the university opted to create a new...

When news hit that former Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain died of COVID-19 a month after he attended then-President Donald Trump's rally in Tulsa last summer, many of the president's campaign staffers blamed themselves for his death, according to a new book. "We killed Herman Cain," one senior Trump staffer reportedly told ABC News reporter Will Steakin, who also attended the Tulsa event on June 20, 2020. That's according to an excerpt of ABC News' chief Washington correspondent Jonathan Karl's forthcoming book, "Betrayal: The Final Act of the Trump Show," published in Vanity Fair on Thursday. The book is slated...

Gene Simmons laid into anti-vaxxers on Wednesday, saying they have “this delusional, evil idea that you get to do whatever you want.” Speaking with the TalkShopLive podcast, the 72-year-old KISS rocker said “If you’re willing to walk among us unvaccinated, you are an enemy.” His comments came less than a month after a 53-year-old guitar tech for the band died of Covid-19. Some of the group’s roadies cited “lax Covid protocols” as a possible cause. The band claimed some crew members hid illnesses and carried forged vaccination cards. “I don’t care about your political beliefs,” he continued. “You are not...

It made for a good laugh a few months ago when Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY), a particularly fierce critic of former President Donald Trump, indicated she wasn't ruling out a run for president in 2024. Her actions as of late have only fueled further speculation that she really is going for it. On Tuesday night she not only publicly railed against Trump before a large audience, but she did so in New Hampshire. As the first primary state, even just stepping foot there can get people talking. Now that she's delivering campaign-style speeches in New Hampshire, which party does Liz...

Former Democratic presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard slammed President Joe Biden during a Fox News interview on Wednesday, saying that he was “tearing our country apart” while Democrats were responsible for fomenting “anger and hatred.” Gabbard made the remarks in response to a question from Fox News host Neil Cavuto on a recent poll that found that close to half of Democrats did not want Biden to be the party’s nominee in 2024. “I think that the American people, it’s clear as we saw in Virginia, it’s actually a positive sign that they’re rejecting the kind of divisiveness, racialization of everything...

“The Chicago Police Department has canceled regularly scheduled days off starting Friday and through the weekend in apparent anticipation of civil unrest in the event that Kyle Rittenhouse is acquitted,” the Chicago Sun-Times reported. Allow me to translate that for you…. Because Chicago is run by Democrats, because the corporate media have been shamelessly lying about the truth of what’s been revealed in the Rittenhouse trial, Chicago police know that if Rittenhouse is acquitted (as he should be), the left-wing terrorists in Antifa and Black Lives Matter, these dangerous babies who can’t deal with things not going their way, are...

WAKEHAM BAY, CANADA — A team of explorers studying glacial formations stumbled upon one of the greatest archaeological discoveries ever. They found a ninth-century Viking warrior encased in a thick wall of ice and showing no visible sign of decomposition! More incredibly still, researchers believe it may be possible to review him! “This has never been attempted before. We firmly believe that with the technology available today, it will be possible to bring this man back to life with his mental faculties fully intact,” declares lead scientist Dr. Nigel Hamm. “The Viking sailor was preserved in an ice block. This...

The arrival of the totalitarian state is not coming, it is already here. It’s been here for decades now since at least the JFK assassination in 1963. What we are seeing and experiencing now (since the Clinton era), is the layering of it. To this point, the silent coup didn’t happen on November 2, 2020, with a stolen election. That was simply the culmination of it. No, the silent coup began on January 20, 2017, and didn’t stop until Biden was placed into office. This is a rare thing too, as the deep/shadow state does not like to reveal itself...
