President Biden wrapped up remarks on the state of the economy ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday in approximately 10 minutes Tuesday, then exited stage right with shouted question from reporters ringing in his ears — including “When will you answer our questions, sir?” “Thank you for your time and effort, and I’ll have plenty of time to talk to you later,” Biden said before strolling off the stage at the Executive Office Building next door to the White House. CBS News Radio correspondent Steven Portnoy, the president of the White House Correspondents Association, tweeted that he was the one who...

President Biden seemed to snub Vice President Kamala Harris Tuesday as they helped prepare meals at a DC soup kitchen during their first public appearance together in more than a week. Biden made no attempt to demonstrate any fondness for his VP in front of the cameras after Harris allies slammed Biden to CNN last week for giving her tough jobs, such as handling the border crisis, and accused the West Wing of giving her less support than white members of the administration. When asked by a reporter what he was grateful for, Biden put an arm around DC Central...

SAN FRANCISCO, CA—Small business owners have devised a clever solution to the mostly-peaceful looting problem that has plagued retail stores in the nation’s democrat-run cities. Standing near a Kyle Rittenhouse scarecrow outside her fifth-generation vintage VCR boutique, Reeba Hastings said, “We’re already seeing positive results from this bad boy. Just yesterday, a flash mob of fifty looters was ready to pilfer my precious vintage VCRs, but one look at this scarecrow and they scattered like politicians from a polygraph machine!” However, some have pointed out the scarecrow’s downside. One store owner complained that, while scaring off potential looters, they tended...

When asked if President Joe Biden will secure the southern border, Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) said: “Yes.” At the U.S. Capitol on Thursday, CNSNews.com asked the senator: “Will President Biden secure the southern border?” Booker replied, “Will President Biden secure the southern border? Yes!” In a follow-up question, CNSNews.com asked, “Do you know if he’s making any efforts to do so now?” Booker, who serves on the Senate Judiciary and Foreign Relations committees, responded, “Again, you can look at the news and see what he’s doing. That’s a question you might want to ask him.” In the first week of...

....It was in 1951 when Danish authorities decided that one way to modernise Greenland would be to create a new type of Greenlander. Teachers and priests were asked to identify children who could be re-educated and given a "better life" in mainland Denmark, and then return to be role models for Greenland-Denmark relations. Many families were reluctant but some gave way, and in May 1951, the ship MS Disko set sail from Nuuk with 22 children on board. Helene Thiesen, now in her 70s but seven at the time, said that her mother, who had been left alone with three...

Weekly World News releases its first album When the coronavirus quarantine was first declared, Boyce Day, a Weekly World News reporter (you’ve seen his pieces on the site for years), found himself separated from the important people in his life: his girlfriend, his mentor, his rare-books dealer. Day started writing poems and lyrics about his experience. Sal Donato, our resident Weekly World News composer and songsmith (you’ve seen his songs on the site for years), was also isolated, stuck inside his mansion with his piano. He began composing short piano pieces. And then, in April of 2020, the two men...

Get ready to party like it’s 2019.

Los Angeles Police Chief Michel Moore announced Tuesday he is setting up a task force to apprehend follow-home robbers, saying the department has not seen violent hold-ups "like this in decades."

Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.), one of former President Trump’s most vocal Republican critics in Congress, said he sees himself as “the only candidate” capable of defeating Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) in next year's election. “If I ran for governor, I think I’m the only candidate that could win, at least that’s out there now,” Kinzinger said in an interview on Crain’s “A.D. Q&A” podcast.

Criminals thought encrypted Sky ECC cellphones were impregnable, but cops tapped a billion messages, yielding arrests and drug seizures Using supposedly impregnable encrypted phones, the Serbian hit men discussed earlier this year how wind direction and distance could affect the sniper’s bullet and planned their getaway. Unbeknown to them, their messages were also flashing up on the computer screens of a secret police team in Belgium that had hacked into the messenger service, called Sky ECC. The Belgians warned police in Serbia, who whisked the judge to safety. The infiltration was a signature success in efforts by authorities across the...

The federal government will pull oil from the country’s emergency stockpile in an effort to bring down stubbornly high fuel prices, the White House said Tuesday. Over the next several months, the U.S. Department of Energy will release 50 million barrels of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, where it’s currently storing just over 600 million barrels in four underground caverns. In total, the release would amount to about two-and-a-half days of U.S. oil consumption: Before the COVID-19 pandemic curtailed both demand and production, the U.S. consumed roughly 20.5 million barrels of oil per day. In recent months, Biden has...

The White House on Tuesday defended President Joe Biden’s claim that Kyle Rittenhouse was a “white supremacist” in a campaign video. White House press secretary Jen Psaki dodged questions from Fox News reporter Peter Doocy about whether the president would apologize to Rittenhouse after he was found not guilty of murder. AD During the 2020 campaign, Biden posted a video on his social media account accusing Rittenhouse of being a white supremacist. Rittenhouse, who was found not guilty of murder charges in a high-profile case, said that Biden was wrong to describe him as a white supremacist. “It’s actual malice....

When Rebecca Pariso agreed to join a team of educators she said she expected some controversy. “We were transforming math education, and change is hard and scary,” said Pariso, a math teacher at Hueneme Elementary School District. “Especially if you don’t understand why that change needs to occur. But I didn’t expect it to go this far.” Every eight years, a group of educators comes together to update the state’s math curriculum framework. This particular update has attracted extra attention, and controversy, because of perceived changes it makes to how “gifted” students progress — and because it pushes Algebra 1...

Figures available from Public Health Scotland show that excess deaths in Scotland have been on the rise since the middle of May 2021, despite a huge decline in Covid-19 deaths, with the under 65’s seeing up to a 40% increase in the number of deaths against the five-year-average.But further statistics go some way to explaining the increase in deaths among younger adults, because data on cardiovascular related health issues shows that some weeks since May 2021, have seen up to a 118% increase in the number of cardiovascular cases among 15-44-year-olds, and up to a 72% increase in the number...

Democrats have tucked a lucrative $2.5 billion tax break inside President Biden’s multitrillion-dollar social welfare bill that would benefit the trial lawyers lobby, spurring Republican accusations of political backscratching. The tax break allows trial lawyers working on a contingency basis, meaning they are paid only if a case is settled in their favor, to deduct expenses immediately. Such expenses include hourly labor fees and the expenses associated with waging a lawsuit, such as filing and deposition costs. On average, according to the American Bar Association, the fixed rate for contingency cases is anywhere between 33% and 40% of the total...

A prominent doctor credited with advancing the development of early treatments for COVID-19 has stated that, in his judgment, the purpose of the pandemic and vaccine campaigns, is to “control and kill off a large proportion of our population without anyone suspecting that we were poisoned.” Dr. Shankara Chetty, a family doctor in South Africa who, according to his website, has “treated 7000 Covid-19 patients without a single hospitalization or death,” combined insights from his medical knowledge along with his observations of government dictates and media censorship to support his conclusions. While participating in a Zoom meeting of people who...

Pharma-funded mainstream media has convinced millions of Americans that Dr. Anthony Fauci is a hero. He is anything but. As director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), Dr. Anthony Fauci dispenses $6.1 billion in annual taxpayer-provided funding for scientific research, allowing him to dictate the subject, content, and outcome of scientific health research across the globe. Fauci uses the financial clout at his disposal to wield extraordinary influence over hospitals, universities, journals, and thousands of influential doctors and scientists—whose careers and institutions he has the power to ruin, advance, or reward. During more than a year...
