Tim Gionet, AKA “Baked Alaska”, real name Anthine Joseph Gionet, is an alleged white supremacist, an antisemitic videographer who was a Trump supporter before he wasn’t. Then he became a Democrat Yang supporter. He attended the Jan. 5th and 6th rallies in Washington DC and broke into Nancy Pelosi’s office. He appeared to use her phone. And he filmed EVERYONE in the office with him. In April 2017 Baked Alaska traveled to Berkeley, California to film a much anticipated free speech rally. Tim Gionet was able to film the violent attacks by Antifa on the Trump supporters at the event...

VIDEO In Nablus last night, two Arab men arrive on a motorcycle and empty two long bursts from a sub machine gun into a store. This is the "Palestinian justice" you hear the Progressive-Islamist Alliance chant about all the time.

[Catholic Caucus] The Latin Mass Society’s Canonical Notes on the Responsa ad dubia You can read the Latin Mass Society's discussion of the Congregation for Divine Worship's Responsa ad dubia, point by point, here.Many canonists on the internet and off it have noticed that the Responsa issued by the CDW seem to be making demands on bishops and priests which go beyond the authority of a Roman Congregation to make. In some cases they seem to be taking away prerogatives from bishops which they are explicitly given by Canon Law, and even the Second Vatican Council. The Supreme Legislator,...

A new round of nuclear fusion experiments for an advanced superconducting tokamak (EAST), or “Chinese artificial sun,” kicked off at the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science this month, Xinhua News Agency reported on Tuesday. According to the institute’s vice director, Song Yuntao, the experiment is aimed at upgrading the EAST auxiliary heating system to make the artificial sun “hotter” and more “durable.” The testing is expected to last for a half year.

Democratic Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI) claimed that the U.S. economy under President Joe Biden is "flourishing" and the "best economic recovery" since former President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's administration, prompting Republicans to hit back at her "false narrative." "We have an economy that is flourishing. We have literally the best economic recovery since FDR," Stevens alleged in a fundraising Zoom call last Wednesday. "If you want a job today, you’re going to make more money than you would’ve ever been able to in the last 20 years," she continued. Stevens' comments come amid rising inflation and underwhelming job growth throughout the...

Pfizer is about to buy Arena Pharmaceuticals for $6.7 billion. Arena is a biopharmaceutical company focused in part on cardiovascular and inflammatory medicines to a global patient cohort. A majority of mainstream news outlets have focused their reportage on Arena’s bowel disease treatment, while failing to mention the firm’s cardiovascular research. Utah-based Arena has existing partnerships with United Therapeutics, who focus their research efforts on pulmonary arterial hypertension. Pfizer’s decision to acquire Arena and their relationship with United Therapeutics is certain to net the company more in return than the bowel disease treatment touted by the corporate press. Arena’s Crunchbase...

I’m not saying that Elizabeth Warren is the dumbest person in public life–there is a lot of competition for that title–but let’s just say she is having the worst week. First she accused Elon Musk of being a tax freeloader, just before he disclosed that he will pay $11 billion in taxes this year, more than any American in history, to Warren’s slush fund the federal government. Next she blamed skyrocketing food prices on “Big Grocery.” Seriously:Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren Giant grocery store chains force high food prices onto American families while rewarding executives & investors with lavish bonuses and stock...

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin said on Sunday it would be over her "dead body" that she receives the COVID-19 vaccine. The 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee told Turning Point USA executive director Charlie Kirk at a conference the group hosted in Phoenix that she has already recovered from the virus and therefore has natural immunity. "Do you remember [Dr. Anthony Fauci] said that if you had COVID, this was months and months ago, you would be naturally immune," recounted Palin, who was diagnosed with the sickness in late March. "So at the time, we were led to believe we...

As the bad news surges and throbs again about the coronavirus, you can easily sense the lack of political vitriol for this president. Joe Biden gets a free pass. On CBS's "Face the Nation" on Dec. 19, reporter Mark Strassmann solemnly marked "another milestone in mourning." "Bells tolled Thursday for 800,000 Americans dead from the virus. That is almost the population of San Francisco. Roughly 1,200 Americans still die daily from the virus." Nobody blamed Biden. Instead, CBS preceded this dirge with a Biden lecture: "For the unvaccinated, we're looking at a winter of severe illness and death, unvaccinated, for...

The good news is that US Real GDP grew at 2.3% QoQ in Q3 thanks to massive Federal government and Federal Reserve stiimulus. The bad news? Prices are growing at rate of 6% QoQ, three times higher than the growth of real personal consumption. Runaway inflation, cooling personal consumption. This is the definition of “stimulyltpo”: the excessive spending by Washington DC in conjunction with excessive monetary stimulus from The Federal Reserve. Let’s see if Christmas season is jolly with Sewage Joe trying to scare everyone about Omicron.

Tuesday on FNC’s “Fox News Primetime,” Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said he was not surprised his colleague Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) came out to oppose the so-called Build Back Better agenda promoted by President Joe Biden. According to Graham, one of the takeaways was Manchin was “telling the world” reconciliation to pass spending bills was dead.

The leading medical adviser to a group representing nearly 300 airlines said in a new interview that aircraft passengers are two or three times more likely to be infected with COVID-19 on a flight since the emergence of the omicron variant. "Whatever the risk was with delta, we would have to assume the risk would be two to three times greater with omicron, just as we’ve seen in other environments," Dr. David Powell, physician and medical adviser to the International Air Transport Association, told Bloomberg News. He added that "it’s just that the relative risk has probably increased, just as...

Firefighters arrived at the two-alarm fire on the 600 block of Chain Bridge Road in McLean, Va. at 11:30 p.m. The fire had spread throughout the home’s first floor.

VIDEOCha-CHING!That's the sound of the draining of John Heilemann's bank account due to the almost inevitable lawsuit coming his way from Kyle Rittenhouse. And the weird thing is that Heilemann has been almost BEGGING to be impoverished. Not only because his unhinged attacks upon Rittenhouse in 2020 as a "vigilante" and "domestic terrorist" but even more so because he just slammed Rittenhouse again while guest hosting MSNBC's Deadline White House show. You would think that especially after the Kenosha verdict of NOT GUILTY for Rittenhouse that he would be the LAST person Heilemann would want to talk about yet now...

The NFL is in self-preservation mode. With 96% of their players and pretty much all of their coaches and staff vaccinated, they have decided to stop testing vaccinated players for Covid-19 unless they show symptoms. It’s not that they no longer think vaccinated players are contracting the disease. It’s because they KNOW the disease is spreading across the league faster than Tyreek Hill can run the 40. When Cole Beasley tested positive for Covid as an unvaccinated player, he was met with absolute hatred from the vaxx-nannies out there who willfully ignore the hundreds of “fully vaccinated” players who tested...

I would say it was fun while it lasted but that would imply it even started. When former President Donald Trump gave U.S. Rep. Vern Buchanan his “complete and total endorsement” on Monday it effectively eliminated any chance that Martin Hyde’s circus act of a campaign for Florida’s 16th Congressional District would get off the ground. It’s not like Buchanan needed the former President’s endorsement to destroy Hyde’s chances of winning the Republican nomination. Hyde did that to himself the moment he called Trump “wretched” and said he was “horrified” by the “bigotry and bullying” of Trump supporters. He may...
