This senseless loss of life is due to yet another violent criminal act in the Bay Area. We hope that offering a reward will help lead to the arrest of those responsible so they can face justice for this terrible tragedy.'. A security guard has died after he was shot while he protected a San Francisco Bay Area television news crew covering a smash-and-grab theft, part of a rash of organized retail crime in the region. “We are devastated by the loss of security guard and our friend, Kevin Nishita. Our deepest sympathy goes to Kevin’s wife, his children, his...

Today, Jews around the world are celebrating Hanukkah, and Christians are preparing to celebrate Christmas. Though we are nearing the shortest, darkest days of the year, for people of faith it is the season of light, and the season of miracles. Hanukkah celebrates both a miraculous military victory, and a miraculous spiritual victory. It is easy to think, though, when we celebrate these holidays with such ancient roots, that miracles are just a thing of the past. But for the Jewish people, one of the greatest miracles in this season and throughout the year, is the miracle of the Jewish...

Progressives are trying to push President Joe Biden further to the left, encouraging him and congressional Democratic leaders to energize an unsatisfied base by delivering on his campaign promises as the party struggles with retaining control of its razor-thin majorities ahead of next year's midterm elections. Democrats have scored some significant victories under the Biden administration in passing the $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill and advancing the $1.75 trillion social spending bill - both key to the president's domestic agenda. But a chaotic Afghanistan troop withdrawal, a spike in inflation, supply chain woes, and the unrelenting COVID-19 pandemic have hurt...

WASHINGTON — Republicans have seized on inflation as a centerpiece of their campaign to take back Congress next fall, laying blame for rising prices on President Joe Biden and his congressional allies as voters express increased concern. But beyond blocking Biden’s wide-ranging social safety net and climate action plan — under consideration in the Senate through a process that would allow Democrats to pass it along party lines — how the GOP would tackle a notoriously difficult economic trend is less clear. Interviews with a half-dozen Republicans showed that while the party is not yet unified around a specific plan,...

Top 4 before yesterday: 1) Georgia 2) Ohio State 3) Alabama 4) Cincinnati After a more than interesting day, MY top 4 today 1) Georgia (No one can touch them) 2) Cincinnati (Yes, they play no one but are undefeated) 3) Michigan 4) Notre Dame How they will probably rank them (they have an Alabama bias. Had Auburn NOT gone into "don't lose mode" and remained in attack mode, they would have won). 1) Georgia 2) Michigan 3) Cincinnati 4) Alabama Next weekend after the conference championships will be interesting. Can Alabama hang with Georgia? Will Georgia copy the Auburn...

QB Bryce Young leads a rally for the ages in regulation to help Alabama snap its Jordan-Hare drought and stay in the CFP hunt. AUBURN, Ala.—For 58-½ shocking minutes in Jordan-Hare Stadium, Alabama’s explosive offense was a dysfunctional mess. The nation’s No. 2 scoring team didn’t find the end zone once within that time, trailing three-touchdown underdog Auburn 10-3. After a deft Tigers punt was downed at the 3-yard line, the chances of the Crimson Tide going 97 yards in 95 seconds to tie the game seemed less likely than Nick Saban taking up stand-up comedy. This looked like another...

The Dow dipped 1000 points on the news of a new COVID variant not named “Xi” last week. Of course nobody knows nuthin’ about the omicron mutation but that won’t stop the MSM from tossing the planet into tilt mode. - Robert W. Malone, MD, virologist and inventor of mRNA vaccinesThe normal course of viral mutations is to become more contagious/transmissible but LESS lethal. This new COVID variant appears to be following that path, but the media will be right there, pointing out that it’s not impossible for a virus to become MORE lethal. Indeed, oh yee enlightened ones, anything...

Alarmingly inappropriate topics and questions tailor-made to corrupt kids' relationship with their parents. As the recent school board elections concluded nationally, Colorado experienced a significant increase in parental school board participation across the state, with one notable exception being the 9R School District in the southwest corner of the state. Always a major factor was the Durango Herald, which has abandoned any pretense of being a defender of the First Amendment, and a local Democratic party machine that has assumed the ideological blindfolds of being in lockstep with the national Democrats now operating as cultural Marxists. As incumbent 9R Democrats...

Multiple House Democrats who are frequent top targets of the far right face the prospect of losing their committee assignments if Republicans win back the chamber next year. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) has threatened to retaliate after Democrats stripped GOP Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (Ga.) and Paul Gosar (Ariz.) of committee seats this Congress, warning that some liberal lawmakers “will need the approval of a majority to keep those positions in the future.” None of the Democrats singled out by McCarthy as examples of who could be removed from House committees have embraced conspiracy theories or promoted violence...

In the early 1930s, the economy was in the midst of a very severe recession. At the time, the general belief was that no government corrective action was necessary since the economy would, if left alone, eventually self-correct. As a result, there was no expansionary action taken on either a monetary or fiscal policy basis. The severe recession got more severe and eventually resulted in the Great Depression. During the mid-1930s, British economist John Keynes said the Depression could be ended by taking action to increase total demand in the economy. That could be accomplished either by cutting taxes for...

At long last, President Joe Biden has undergone a thorough physical exam, and the detailed White House report ought to end the frequent insinuations from some critics that the nation’s oldest president is not up to the job. But it probably won’t, given that he does show some signs of his age. “President Biden remains a healthy, vigorous 78-year-old male, who is fit to successfully execute the duties of the presidency, to include those as chief executive, head of state and commander in chief,” concluded Kevin O’Connor, who has been his primary care physician for 13 years. The report didn’t...

What the left calls "White supremacy" today is such a sick joke that it deserves nothing but ridicule and contempt. The left lost control of their narrative of the "White supremacist" "active shooter" "murderer" Kyle Rittenhouse in the face of overwhelming factual evidence of self-defense. So leftists did what they do best (or worst): double down. Racism! White supremacy! No justice, no peace! The right's reaction to the left's reaction to the Kyle Rittenhouse verdict ranges from ridicule to confusion. How can the left and MSNBC, CNN, and the New York Times — but I repeat myself — claim anti-black...

This is Kary Mullis, quite a number of years ago, judging by his age when he died in August, 2019 -- he was much older than he is in this video. Kary Mullis INVENTED the PCR technology that is currently FRAUDULENTLY being used to diagnose all these "cases" of COVID-19. Mullis always said the PCR technology is a RESEARCH TOOL, and should NEVER be used to diagnose any disease in a human.He worked with and for Dr. Tony Fauci and knew quite well what he was -- and what he was NOT.How convenient that Kary Mullis died in September of...

I never dreamed that I would have to face the prospect of not living in the United States of America, at least not the one I have known all my life. I have never wished to live anywhere else. This is my home and I was privileged to be born here. But today I woke up and as I had my morning coffee, I realized that everything is changing for the worse. No matter how I vote, no matter what I say, no matter how much I pray, something evil has invaded our nation, and our lives are never going...

During a rendezvous at the United Nations General Assembly, the Iranian regime's foreign minister lodged a formal complaint with his Swedish counterpart about the trial of Hamid Noury, a former Iranian official, in Stockholm. Hossein Amir-Abdollahian told Sweden's Ann Linde that all the documents provided to the court are "fabricated." A month prior, a spokesman for the regime's Foreign Ministry had warned, "We will naturally use all our diplomatic means to obtain and enforce Hamid Noury's rights." Who is Hamid Noury, and why is the regime clearly terrified of his trial in Sweden? Hamid Noury was a low-ranking official in...

House Democrats acknowledge they weren't very effective at selling their $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief plan to the general public. Now, they're hoping to improve on those mistakes with their mammoth climate and social spending package. While President Biden's Build Back Better Act still has a tough road in the Senate, House Democrats have already begun holding a series of roundtable discussions, site visits, in-person and virtual town halls and news conferences across the country highlighting individual pieces of the roughly $2 trillion package. The idea is to break it up into smaller bite-size chunks - things like child care, climate...

They’re now trying to shut down everything again and make the world safe again for private jet-flying elites to escape from voters. This time they claim there’s a super-spreading, super-scary new variant of the Wuhan (pardon me, COVID-19) virus from Africa. As far as I’m able to discover there is no test for it, it has actually been around since July and it doesn’t seem particularly fatal. So far it has produced only mild cases. But the taste of totalitarian control has only whetted the desire for more, with the thought of destroying those “deplorable” productive citizens of the middle...

President Joe Biden was caught disobeying an indoor mask mandate this weekend in Nantucket just hours after being 'fully briefed' on the new Omicron variant of the coronavirus and banning travel from eight African countries. The president, who has been staying on the island with his family this Thanksgiving weekend, was spotted inside Murray's Toggery Shop with his mask around his neck and not covering his mouth. A large 'Face Covering Required' sign could be seen on the front door of the shop. The island brought back its indoor mask mandates earlier this month at a town meeting on November...
