Judge Bruce Schroeder has announced Thursday that staff from MSNBC will no longer be allowed inside the Kenosha County Courthouse following the incident in which a person was observed following a bus that the jury uses to get to and from the building. “I have instructed that no one from MSNBC news will be permitted in this building for the duration of this trial. This is a very serious matter and I don’t know what the ultimate truth of it is, but absolutely it would go without much thinking that someone who is following the jury bus – that is...

Lost in the shuffle of all the potential revenue-raising proposals being put forward by Democrats to pay for legislation that could end up costing taxpayers more than $5 trillion is a provision that would drastically expand the federal government’s power to monitor Americans’ finances. In light of Uncle Sam’s failures to responsibly safeguard — and tendency to sometimes abuse — the powers he already has over your wallet, giving him even further authority to snoop is a recipe for disaster. The provision in question would require all types of financial institutions to report gross inflows and outflows from any account...

The parents of 10 children who all started university before the age of 13 insist their children are 'not geniuses' but credit homeschooling for their family's academic success. High school sweethearts Monalisa Harding, 53, and her husband Kip, 53, from San Jose, California, homeschooled all their children from the same syllabus. They knew they were on the right track after getting their first three children through high school aged 11. Their oldest, Hannah, earned her bachelors in mathematics at the age of 17 from Auburn University, Montgomery in 2004 - making her the first child prodigy. Last year youngest child...

An increasing number of attacks by the animals, including one that bit a police officer last week, triggered an operation Wednesday night in a district less than half an hour’s drive from Hong Kong’s financial center Previous attempts to relocate and sterilize the boars “could not effectively control the wild pig nuisance,” the department said. Last week, a wild boar knocked down an auxiliary police officer and bit his leg before plunging to its death from a residential car park. “There were about 30 cases of wild boars attacking humans, we can’t simply sit on our hands while things deteriorate,”

A leftist “dark money” group funded by liberal billionaire George Soros spent hundreds of millions of dollars in an obsessive effort to place Democrats in political power. The notorious Sixteen Thirty Fund “doled out a whopping $410 million in 2020” for the purpose of “aiding Democratic efforts to unseat then-President Donald Trump and win back control of the Senate,” according to Politico. Soros’s Open Society Foundations gave the Fund a sizable $33,523,483 between 2016 and 2020. This means that Soros’ four-year contributions compose roughly around eight percent of the total amount of money the Fund dumped to defeat Trump and...

We have told you from the beginning that the true numbers on everything from actual COVID deaths from the virus, to actual numbers of deaths and adverse reactions from the COVID vaccine have been fudged and fraudulent from the get-go. Now an FDA report bears witness to the fact that, over time, none of the vaccines provide any more protection than the unvaccinated have, and significantly increase your risk of strokes and blood clots. Just yesterday, a woman wrote to me asking for prayer for her neighbor who just had his leg amputated after developing blood clots after receiving the...

Remember when actor Alec Baldwin threatened to leave America if George W. Bush was elected president, and then welshed on his promise? Well, Alec is at it again at the quickly becoming blog site for the stars to rant non sequiturs with total impunity Huffington Post. This time, Baldwin set his sights on Vice President Dick Cheney – color me surprised. Baldwin began: “So, I suppose the question is...what kind of civil trial will we see, or not see, between Cheney and Whittington? Whittington is certainly no stranger to a court room and to civil litigation. Will Cheney pay him...

The suspect arrested in Tuesday’s Seavey Circle shooting in Sacramento that left a man and 7-year-old girl dead has a lengthy criminal history and had been released from custody in October while he was awaiting trial on charges of possession of a firearm and ammunition by a felon, court records say.

The Kyle Rittenhouse trial is more than just a trial. It’s a Rorschach test with only two possible answers. The basic facts of the case are widely accepted by everyone, that Kyle Rittenhouse shot three people on the night of August 25, 2020 in Kenosha, Wisconsin amid a violent uprising that had been going on for days. Beyond that there’s pretty much nothing that’s agreed upon. America is of two minds. On one side are the people who believe that Rittenhouse is innocent and acted in self defense. On the other are people who think that Rittenhouse is guilty of...

Washington -- Are you familiar with the work of professor Simon Gottschalk? I have only become familiar with his work recently, but I commend it to you. He is a professor of sociology with the University of Nevada at Las Vegas. He apparently watches a lot of television in the course of his work, and he even takes notes. He has come up with a brilliant, if alarming, insight. According to the professor, television assists in spreading the "infantilization of the West." For instance, if you have seen a grown man wearing shorts as winter approaches, pay attention. Probably, he...

Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) told The Hill that he was "looking very favorably," but hadn't made a final decision, on supporting Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell if he's renominated as chairman, after the two spoke on Wednesday. "Well we're looking very favorably towards that, because I needed that conversation with him. But I have not made up my mind yet. But I'm just saying that it helped an awful lot having him clear up a lot of the concerns I had," Manchin told The Hill. The two spoke by phone on Wednesday with Manchin telling reporters earlier this week that...
