Desperate Democrats are looking at the “nuclear option” to boot Kamala Harris from the White House. This is no surprise. Without question, Her Vice Fraudulency is the biggest failure of a vice presidential pick since Spiro Agnew in 1972. Harris epitomizes an identity hire, the choice of skin color and gender over competence. Harris was such a terrible presidential candidate, she dropped out before even a single vote was taken. She dropped out before Marianne Williamson. Biden only chose her as a cheap and easy way to “make history” with the pick of the first woman and the first black...

Despite the fact that Kyle Rittenhouse was acquitted of all charges, leftist student organizations are working to get him banned from campus. Kyle Rittenhouse was acquitted of all charges in the shootings that left two dead and a third injured in Kenosha, Wisconsin, last year amid the Black Lives Matter (BLM) riots, but those facts are irrelevant to left-wing students who want him banned from Arizona State University campus where he is enrolled. Led by Students for Socialism, four groups plan to rally Wednesday for Rittenhouse’s removal. The 18-year-old enrolled for classes in October and plans to continue his studies...

The media’s blatant lies amount to racial arson. Both Wisconsin towns, Kenosha, and Waukesha, about 50 miles apart by car, were the recent sites of multiple deaths. The violence in both made national news. Yet in contradictory ways both reflected the common themes of America’s current legal, media, and societal corruption. The relevant public prosecutors in both were in the news for alleged ideological bias. Specifically, they habitually calibrated the charging, indicting, and trying (or not) of defendants through ideological lenses and community pressure rather than on the basis of the facts and the law. Kyle Rittenhouse was a...

Many Hoosiers are still dealing with having to repay the state for overpaid COVID relief money. You may recall that the state gave out more COVID relief from the federal government than it was supposed to Hoosiers. In order to make up for the lost funds, the state is requested that Hoosiers pay that money back.

Brian May voiced concerns over the cancel culture movement, saying he believed some changes to society were being made “without thinking of the long-term consequences.” The guitarist illustrated his point by imagining a scenario of Queen trying to find success in the modern world. “I’m sure… we would be forced to have people of different colours and different sexes and a trans person – but life doesn't have to be like that,” May told the U.K.’s ITV network (via multiple sources). “We can be separate and different. Our generation made a lot of mistake, but not everybody in our generation...

Virginia Roberts Giuffre, one of Epstein's victims that was allegedly in his sex trafficking ring, came forward to ABC News about the allegations and was allegedly interviewed by anchor Amy Robach in 2016. The trial of Ghislaine Maxwell, the accomplice of convicted child sex trafficker and pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, is set to begin on Monday, therefore it's worth resurfacing reports that ABC News intentionally killed the story after having details on Epstein for three years before he was ousted. Virginia Roberts Giuffre, one of Epstein's victims that was allegedly in his sex trafficking ring, came forward to ABC News about...

President Biden said Monday that his administration was not recommending further restrictions on businesses or in-person gatherings to combat the coronavirus pandemic amid concerns about the new omicron variant. Speaking from the Roosevelt Room, Biden described vaccinations as the best possible tool to defeat the virus and any emerging variants. He said his administration would outline a strategy to combat COVID-19 during the winter months later this week. “On Thursday, I'll be putting forward a detailed strategy outlining how we're going to fight COVID this winter, not with shutdowns or lockdowns but with more widespread vaccinations, boosters, testing and more,”...

Over the weekend, the British public were lied to once again by the very people they should be able to trust, after they were told by both palliative care doctor Rachel Clarke, and national medical director of NHS England Professor Stephen Powis, that 75% of those in intensive care with Covid-19 are people who have chosen not to be vaccinated.Dr Rachel Clarke, or Doctor Oxford as she also likes to be known, is an NHS palliative care doctor and author of the book ‘Breathtaking’, published in January 2021, which alleges to reveal what life was really like working on NHS...

It's beginning to look a lot like a pandemic-era Christmas at the White House. Officials have been scrambling to determine the best way of handling the typically buzzing party schedule in the executive mansion given the threat from the new omicron variant of the coronavirus, according to sources familiar with the deliberations. White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki acknowledged earlier this month, weeks before the omicron variant made headlines, that the holidays would “look a little bit different,” this year, when asked about whether it had been determined if the usual receptions and galas could be safely held.

The Dallas Cowboys are 7-4, well on their way to a division title and playoff berth. But they’ll need to push forward for at least the next game without their head coach and several other members of the team as they’ve all tested positive for Covid-19 despite being “fully vaccinated.” According to NBC Sports: Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy has tested positive for COVID-19, according to ESPN. He will miss the Cowboys’ Thursday night game against the Saints. The report says there may be up to eight positive cases within the Cowboys organization. Offensive line coach Joe Philbin and assistant line...

The US Defense Department is allegedly threatening to ‘decertify’ the Oklahoma National Guard after its commander, on approval of the state commander-in-chief, Governor Kenny Stitt, issued an order instructing his troops that they will not be required to comply with Biden’s Covid-19 vaccine mandate.On November 12th, The Oklahoman posted some background on the situation. They wrote that the head of the Oklahoma National Guard, new Adjutant General Thomas Mancino, updated the guard’s Covid-19 vaccine policy, stating that no members would be required to get the jab. This information was shared in a memo which was obtained by The Oklahoman, noting...

ABC legal analyst Sunny Hostin said Monday on ABC’s “The View” that the Republican Party’s “big tent” included insurrectionists, white nationalists and fear mongers when commenting on Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) calling Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) the “jihad squad.” Co-host Whoopi Goldberg said, “Boebert tweeted an apology that said, ‘Anyone in the Muslim community that I offended.’ Omar said not only did she make up the whole story, she needs to be disciplined because this kind of bigotry can’t be normalized in Congres

President Joe Biden urged all Americans on Monday to wear their masks more and get vaccination boosters to help fight the Omicron variant of the coronavirus. “Please wear your mask when you’re indoors when you’re in public settings around other people,” Biden said during remarks at the White House with Dr. Anthony Fauci, his coronavirus pandemic advisor.

AMSTERDAM (AP) – The Netherlands moved into a tougher lockdown Sunday that was announced amid spiking infections even before the country recorded its first confirmed cases of the new, more highly transmissible omicron virus variant. Bars, restaurants, nonessential stores, cinemas and theatres were among the public places forced to shut from 5 p.m. until 5 a.m. under the new lockdown.

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg stressed in a new interview that families who buy electric vehicles (EVs) "never have to worry about gas prices again." While speaking on MSNBC's "The Sunday Show With Jonathan Capehart," Buttigieg noted that Democrats' proposed social spending package includes incentives to make it more affordable to buy an electric vehicle. Buttigieg said that families would essentially have a "$12,500 discount" in transportation costs, adding that "families who own that vehicle will never have to worry about gas prices again." "The people who stand to benefit most from owning an EV are often rural residents who have...

On this date in 1330, Roger Mortimer’s three-year run as de facto ruler of England ended with a rope at Tyburn. Mortimer was a key figure in the Despenser War — a revolt of nobles against King Edward II and the king’s hated-by-nobles right hand Hugh Despenser. That war failed and landed Mortimer in the Tower. Then, things really got interesting. Mortimer escaped his cell in 1323 and fled to France. There he took up with King Edward’s own wife, Queen Isabella, when the latter came to court on some state business. This was, needless to say, quite a scandalous...

President Biden on Monday described the omicron variant of COVID-19 as a "cause for concern" but not a cause for panic, saying Americans getting vaccinated and getting their booster shots is the best defense against the virus. He also said officials would release more guidance on how they plan to fight the spread of COVID-19 this winter, but promised it wouldn't include lockdowns. "This variant is a cause for concern, not a cause for panic," Biden said in prepared remarks at the White House. "We have the best vaccine in the world, the best medicines, the best scientists, and we're...

And just like that, it was gone...Nasdaq has roared back from its Omicron-triggered losses after President Biden said - despite some fearmongering over the need for vaccines ("cause for concern but not for panic") for the "omNicron" variant (that he just could not say correctly) - "...US won't need shutdowns, lockdowns this winter."Biden went on to say that "vaccines are the reason why lockdowns are off the table," but added that he "encourages people to wear masks when indoors with crowds."Will that be Biden's "Read my lips" moment?Despite there being no need for a lockdown, he is maintaining his 'racist'...

Even the least well-read could probably surmise that Robert Louis Stevenson's novel Kidnapped involves an abduction, but academic chiefs have nonetheless cautioned undergraduates that the 19th Century classic 'contains depictions of murder, death, family betrayal and kidnapping'. The so-called trigger warning was issued by the University of Aberdeen, which also told students that Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar – written more than 400 years ago and set in 44 BC – features 'sexist attitudes' and has a plot that 'centres on a murder'. Meanwhile, a warning about Charles Dickens's French Revolution novel A Tale Of Two Cities, which famously features the...
