Lawmakers, under current federal law, are required to disclose security trades within 45 days – meaning Schrier would have needed to report the stock purchase prior to mid-September. According to Schrier Communications Director Libby Carlson, the Washington congresswoman was "unaware" of the trade because it was made by her husband, David.

In one breath, liberals call local police “racists” and demand their departments be defunded, and in the very next they rush to federal law enforcement agencies for help at the slightest hint of trouble. This is the whipsaw effect of how the Left views law enforcement – local cops bad, federal cops good. It is a perspective totally at odds with the framework on which our federal Republic was constructed. Consider our public schools. Leftists for years have fought tooth and nail to remove resource officers from schools, claiming their presence is “detrimental to the welfare of our children, leading...

The FBI and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) are investigating “questionable vials” labeled “smallpox” at a Merck lab near Philadelphia. Fifteen vials were found in a freezer, according to the Department of Homeland Security. Smallpox is extremely deadly (30% fatality rate) so only two labs in the world – CDC in Atlanta and one in Russia – hold samples of the virus. In 1980, the World Health Assembly declared smallpox eradicated. Yahoo News reported: The FBI and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are investigating “questionable vials” labeled “smallpox” and found in a freezer last night...

Cortez Rice, who is a BLM activist in Minnesota, says on video that jurors in the Kenosha trial of Kyle Rittenhouse are being photographed. The names of the jurors in the trial were sealed by the judge making it harder for them to be doxxed. However, the public has access to the court proceedings, where the jurors sit in plain view. Only journalistic pool photographers are allowed inside the courtroom. The Rittenhouse trial just concluded week 1; it didn’t go well for the prosecution, which has failed to present evidence that counters his self-defense claims. There hasn’t been much protest...

Clinton, who has endured years of Donald Trump’s “lock her up” smears, responded to...

@ChadPergram The "QAnon shaman," the most high-profile of the suspects from the Capitol riot, Jacob Chansley is to be sentenced today. Chansley has been jailed since the riot.

Former Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard David Duke recently praised Fox News host Tucker Carlson for repeatedly broadcasting on his show the white nationalist-fabricated “great replacement theory” that falsely claims Democrats want to replace white people with people of color. The Neo Nazi website Daily Stormer has called Carlson “literally our greatest ally.”

On Nov. 16, 2021, the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) announced it is suspending all implementation and enforcement efforts related to the Emergency Temporary Standard (ETS) on mandatory COVID-19 vaccination and testing in the workplace. The announcement follows the Nov. 12, 2021 order from the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals staying enforcement of the ETS pending a final ruling on its legality. OSHA intends to resume implementation and enforcement of the ETS following litigation, if permitted. This newly stated position immediately impacts employers with 100 or more employees who are not federal contractors or otherwise subject to Centers...

The White House has warned Europe of an impending war in Eastern Europe with Russia and Belarus.

Can we chuck the "breakthrough infection" crap already. This is the norm, not the rare exception. Three so far in my office and their spouses. "Fully vaccinated." I'm almost of the opinion that the vaccine is causing their symptoms.

One of the things that state prosecutor Thomas Binger used in his argument against Kyle Rittenhouse was the idea of provocation. But one commentator who works with Disney's Marvel Comics didn’t get the memo when he openly called for people to burn down the city of Kenosha, Wisconsin. It was last Friday that Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers approved 500 of the state’s National Guard troops for deployment. They’ll be on a standby mode as the world awaits the Rittenhouse trial verdict and whatever reaction from the general public will follow. As of Monday evening, people on Twitter were recommending giving...

Scientology and its front organizations (like Narconon and CCHR) live in a world disconnected from reality. They seem oblivious to the absurdity of things they say and positions they take. Narconon is now beginning to sound like prohibitionists, targeting county music for “romanticizing alcohol.” Unfortunately, while contemporary country music stars continue to produce great music year after year, there are increasing incidences of romanticizing alcohol in country music lyrics, romanticizing it, glamorizing it, or even construing alcohol with happy times, carefree adventures, and the ‘good life.’ Given the harm and danger that can come from consuming alcohol, fans of country...

The Czech Republic and Slovakia hit record numbers for new COVID-19 cases on Wednesday. The Czech Republic reached a new high of 22,479 cases, marking an increase of nearly 8,000 from just a week ago and surpassing a previous record set in January by 5,000, according to The Associated Press. With 8,342 new cases, Slovakia exceeded its previous record of 7,244 cases, which was set on Friday, the AP reported.

Trump has opened up a breathtaking 11-point lead over Biden in Iowa, expanding on the 8-point margin by which he defeated Biden there last year. The Des Moines Register poll confirms that this key battleground state in the Midwest has turned solidly Republican, thanks to Trump. The DMR poll, long considered the gold standard for the first-in-the-nation Iowa caucuses every four years, found that Trump is ahead by 76% to 15% among evangelical likely voters, 64% to 26% among rural likely voters, and 59% to 31% among likely voters without a college degree. Only 33% of Iowa adults say they...

A notable mandate tucked into President Biden’s bipartisan infrastructure bill could go a long way in making roads safer. Part of the bill includes the HALT act and RIDE act, which require all new cars sold to be equipped with technology that can sense a drunk driver and keep them off the road. It could become a standard feature as early as 2026.

VIDEO This video was originally uploaded in March 2019. However, since Beto O'Rourke is turning into the perpetual candidate who remains as empty as Bill McKay as portrayed by Robert Redford in the 1972 film "The Candidate" it is time to feature this video again. Oh, and Beto the perpetual candidate remains "The Candidate."Note: I will probably feature this video again in two years.

Across four major cities – London, Amsterdam, Berlin and Tel Aviv – a new meat was born, containing precisely no animal. The London champion of the company, Redefine Meat, is the celebrity chef Marco Pierre White. At Mr White’s in Leicester Square, chefs, investors and barbecue and burger connoisseurs – as well as former winners of MasterChef – gathered to taste it. The tone of the event was set by the offering of a pipette of “blood” – “Doesn’t it taste like blood, though?” asked an excited waiter. Well, yes. But memo from the world of carnivore: blood is more...

It’s not hard to hide things in a 2,135-page document, and that is exactly what the Democrats tried to do in their new spending bill. It has already been quite a fight for the Biden administration to get Democrats to back the $1.75 trillion bill. There was disagreement over the timing of the bill and its relation to the rest of the president’s Build Back Better plan. But now the discovery of a provision, tucked on page 1647, may cause even more disagreement over the legislation. The provision would end the requirement of a Social Security number in order to...

About 60 U.S. service members have come forward to identify family members still stuck in Afghanistan but none of those family members can be helped because they haven’t qualified for U.S. evacuation assistance, according to the Pentagon. In a Pentagon press briefing on Monday, Pentagon press secretary John Kirby was asked about a November 4 Department of Defense memo instructing service members on how they can help get family members stranded in Afghanistan evacuated. The November 4 memo instructed service members to provide the names, contact information, locations, passport information and national identification cards for their immediate family members remaining...
