CHICAGO, IL—After watching Larry Elder on the receiving end of racist hate crime attacks in California, a very jealous Jussie Smollett disguised himself as the California candidate for Governor in hopes that people will commit some real hate crimes against him as well. "I hope this works," said Smollett as he donned a very lifelike cardboard cutout of Larry Elder's face with eye-holes cut in it. "I've never experienced a real racist hate crime before, only fake ones. But I've always dreamed of being a part of a real one. This will be so awesome." He then took a walk...

Six months ago LeBron James reported racist graffiti had been spraypainted on the gate of his $21 million dollar Los Angeles mansion. The sports media immediately fell all over themselves to pronounce LeBron a heroic victim and cast the blame upon a presumed racist white person. At Outkick we took some heat from the usual media circles for suggesting we wait to see who was responsible for the graffiti before we utilized this allegation to provide further evidence that our world view was correct. Here was my article from immediately after the alleged crime occurred. Well, in the wake of...

My latest song. This piece is a bit of a departure for me - I hope it doesn't cause a departure in you.

The Egoz unit set up to emulate Hezbollah members in southern Lebanon and specialize in field warfare has recently changed its face and developed new capabilities in the face of the latest challenges. With a new and classified missile and upgraded intelligence capabilities, Walla! joins them in a unique training in the South. The tanks entered the narrow street and a cloud of dust spread between the buildings. The fighters of the Egoz unit, equipped with new protection and combat equipment from head to toe, advanced rapidly in a dark and narrow alley that simulates a refugee camp in Gaza....

A jury has now confirmed what police (local, state, and federal), Dave Chappelle, and you knew all along: that Jussie Smollett perpetrated a fake hate crime, hung his friends out to dry, and tried to blame everything on Donald Trump. Jussie may as well have said, “But … but … but … MAGA! But Trump! C’mon, guys, don’t you believe me?” It turns out that the only ones who believed Jussie Smollett’s fake “beating” by his accomplices were Black Lives Matter because the group hates the police more than it hates lying to the American people. Well, it turns out...

SOURCE A group of seven Germans between the ages of 25 and 39 were infected with the Omicron variant of the coronavirus in South Africa, even though all of them have already received their booster vaccination. “We’re seeing a lot of breakthrough infections right now. What we did not know is that even a booster vaccination with Pfizer does not prevent this,” Preiser explained to the Tagesspiegel. These infections are the first breakthrough infections reported with the Omicron variant. Seven Germans become infected with #Omicron in South Africa despite three vaccine doses.https://t.co/geIR3X2VIr— Disclose.tv (@disclosetv) December 9, 2021

“He that hideth hatred with lying lips, and he that uttereth a slander, is a fool. In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise. The tongue of the just is as choice silver: the heart of the wicked is little worth” (Proverbs 10:17-20).

The U.S. Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) announced Thursday it had "successfully" modernized the first B61 nuclear gravity bomb to increase the nation's air-delivered nuclear deterrent capability amid threats of war with Russia in Ukraine and China in the South China Sea and or in the Taiwan Strait. Over the years, we've been documenting (read: here & here) NNSA's $12 billion program to modify aging B61 thermonuclear gravity bombs for the modern battlefield. The weapons first entered service in the late 1960s and needed upgrades to be more effective and increase lifespan by another two decades. The...

CommentaryEnvision a country in which “the state runs capitalism to serve the interests of most people” and our politicians won’t let “rich capitalists stand in the way of doing what they believe is best for the most people of the country.”That sounds a lot like Bernie Sanders or Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez describing their far-left ideal for America. It’s not that far removed from the Marxist maxim that predates Karl Marx himself of “from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs,” and it goes completely against the free-market principles that drive successful investors and entrepreneurs in the Land...

The COVID-19 vaccine mandate for healthcare workers promulgated by President Joe Biden’s administration is being opposed by over 150 Republicans in Congress, who say the administration hasn’t taken into account the mandate’s potential effect on already short-staffed hospitals.“We are concerned that if the Biden administration moves forward with their vaccine mandate for medical personnel, the resulting staff shortages could actually cost lives instead of saving them,” Rep. Jeff Duncan (R-S.C.) said in a statement.The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) last month announced every facility that receives federal funding must force workers to get a vaccine or terminate them.The...

Australia’s technical advisory body to the federal health minister has distanced itself from the use of vaccine mandates—a measure which has been criticised by the World Health Organization (WHO), arguing that it should be an “absolute last resort.”The head of the Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation (ATAGI), Dr. Chris Blyth, was asked on Dec. 8 why the country’s state and territory governments were handing down vaccine mandates for businesses when 80 to 90 percent of the population was already vaccinated.His response was, “I don’t think that’s ATAGI’s role to answer that question.”“We provide technical advice, and we believe in...

Last week, I told you about how the New York City Council is on the brink of giving non-citizens with green cards the right to vote in the city’s municipal elections. Today, they will make it official. The council president has stated proponents “have the votes” and this very bad idea will soon become law. The sponsor of the bill, Councilman Ydanis Rodriguez, is pleased as punch with the possibility of making “history” this week:“New York City will be making history. After getting the right to vote in local elections as a result of this bill, there is a high...

I think it’s pretty clear by now that the pandemic is going to be around indefinitely, and by pandemic, I don’t mean the COVID-19 virus, I mean the pharmaceutical gold rush.The writing’s on the wall if you look for it. While on CNBC’s “Squawk Box,” Pfizer Chairman and CEO Albert Bourla was discussing the vaccines with host Becky Quick who mentioned the fourth dose already in the works. Bourla said that this dose would be necessary in order to keep people safe from the virus, especially with Omicron now making the rounds:“I think when we see real world data will...

"Facebook has admitted in a court of law that such fact checks are not factual at all, but merely opinions. People send me stuff. As we have previously reported, journalist John Stossel is suing Facebook after Facebook’s ‘fact checkers’ labeled climate change information that Stossel posted as 'false and misleading'. In the middle of all this is the nefarious website 'Climate Feedback' which has a bunch of climate zealots that write up what they claim are 'fact checks' for articles, videos, and news stories they disagree with. Facebook just blew the 'fact check' claim right out of the water in...

The first round of shots did not strike Tse. 'You could...

How woke Chicago DA Kim Foxx went out of her way to help Jussie and complained to her deputy that charges against him were 'excessive' - Embattled actor Jussie Smollett's initial charges for filing a fake police report were dropped in 2019 by the Cook County State Attorney's office - Top prosecutor Kim Foxx recused herself from the original charges against him after liaising with Smollett's family at the behest of MeToo leader Tina Tchen - Foxx previously tried to convince the FBI to take over the probe of the alleged attack at the request of his family, whom she...
