In Austria where a new nationwide lockdown is coming into force protesters on the streets today as part of the Worldwide Day of Freedom. In the Netherlands today the protest in Amsterdam cancelled after last night's violence in Rotterdam with two protesters shot and wounded by police. But a protest in the southern Netherlands in Breda set to go ahead. Commentary: What we saw in Rotterdam last night another manifestation of left-wing elements doing a "January 6th" style demonization of anti-lockdown and anti-vaccine mandate protests. The effect of the anarchists presence on the streets during non-violent protest serves to discredit...

Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis laid out the new restrictions on the unvaccinated this week in a televised address to the Greek people, saying that as of November 22nd, unvaccinated residents will be barred from all indoor public spaces, including cinemas and gyms.

He said the order would apply for 10 to 11 days and he trusts that people won’t...

Kyle Rittenhouse was acquitted today. Anyone who paid even a modicum of attention to the trial could not come away without concluding that Rittenhouse acted in self defense. The verdict enraged the left wing media but more, it revealed the searing hatred some have of all things white. All day the left wing lunatics struggled mightily to inject racism into something that was not racist. All four of those involved were white. As you will see, MSNBC and CNN had countless numbers of people believing that Kyle Rittenhouse randomly shot three black men. As you will see, MSNBC and CNN...

*** SNIP *** ...Dr. Marc Siegel ... said he has some concerns about information lacking from the report that would provide a clearer understanding of the gait issue Biden faces. "I don't like that they ascribe his gait issues to a broken foot. First of all, why did he fall," Siegel inquired, adding that the report also "prescribes the gait problem to spondylosis." "That's an incomplete characterization," Siegel continued, stressing the importance of understanding why Biden is facing certain health issues. "What I want to know is, where's the MRIs and where's the EMGs? "They did a thorough neurological exam,...

The FDA is asking the court to...

Nicholas Sandmann has his back and it looks like massive lawsuits by Kyle Rittenhouse are coming for those who smeared him. Therefore, in order to aid Team Rittenhouse, I would like to see a list compiled of those whose bank accounts should be subject to draining. I will start out the list with the name of John Heilemann, a frequent contributor on MSNBC. However, please add your own names to the list and why they deserve to have their bank accounts drained.So why is Heilemann at the top of my list for having his bank account drained? Well, just take...

The president’s son was part owner of a venture involved in the $3.8 billion purchase by a Chinese conglomerate of one of the world’s largest cobalt deposits. The metal is a key ingredient in batteries for electric vehicles. An investment firm where Hunter Biden, the president’s son, was a founding board member helped facilitate a Chinese company’s purchase from an American company of one of the world’s richest cobalt mines, located in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Mr. Biden and two other Americans joined Chinese partners in establishing the firm in 2013, known as BHR and formally named Bohai Harvest...

... Eklund has built his New York–based Elliman subsidiary, the Eklund Gomes Team, around what he calls the “golden triangle” of U.S. real estate: New York, Miami, and L.A. But as he and his partners got wind of Texas’s booming population and economy in recent years, they started planning to expand here—to Houston, Austin, and Dallas, another kind of golden triangle. As he would tell me later, “I was in Beverly Hills yesterday, and Texas real estate was the only thing anyone wanted to talk to me about.”

Exactly 20 years ago today, President George W. Bush signed the Aviation and Transportation Security Act into law and created the Transportation Security Administration, better known as the TSA. A response to the 9/11 attacks, the TSA was thought to be a necessary tool for confronting the new reality of terror in the skies. Two decades later, the TSA has more than 54,000 employees, a budget of $8 billion dollars, and a long track record of harassing passengers for no good reason. Far from contributing to actual safety, the TSA is a stunning example of government failure: Its absurd travel...

President Biden "remains a healthy, vigorous 78-year-old male who is fit to successfully execute the duties of the Presidency," White House physician Dr. Kevin O'Connor wrote in a memo to White House press secretary Jen Psaki Friday. But O'Connor also took note of a couple of issues evident in the president's health profile after the completion of Mr. Biden's routine physical Friday morning. O'Connor noted that there has been an increase in the frequency of Mr. Biden's coughing during public speeches.

Protesters filled streets around the world after George Floyd’s killing. For some, the scars of that summer run deep. Rickia Young, a 29-year-old nurse’s aide, clearly remembers the moment police officers swarmed her car in West Philadelphia last year. She heard one window shatter, then another. Not only was she worried for her own safety, but Young said she feared for her toddler son’s life. Young is among many Americans who say they were severely injured by police in the turbulent months after George Floyd’s death on Memorial Day 2020. Amid what has been called the broadest protests in U.S....
