One day after his arrest on charges of seditious conspiracy in the Jan. 6 riots, the estranged wife of Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes went on CNN and called him a “complete sociopath.” Tasha Adams announced joy over his arrest and discussed fears for her family’s safety: “I knew I lived in fear he might show up here. But the... just setting that weight down and knowing we were safe and my kids were safe and my kids’ school doesn’t have to worry, that was a relief I didn’t know existed.” When asked by CNN’s John Berman of what threat...

"Weiss said that the COVID-19 restrictions will be "remembered by the younger generation as a catastrophic moral crime." Journalist and author Bari Weiss appeared on TV host Bill Maher's show Friday night and delivered an impassioned discourse on the COVID-19 narrative. "I'm done with COVID. I'm done!" declared Weiss as the crowd applauded. "I went so hard on COVID. I sprayed the Pringle's cans that I bought at the grocery store. I stripped my clothes off because I thought COVID would be on my clothes. Like, I did it all. I watched Tiger King. I got to the end of...

"A California state senator proposed a law allowing kids 12 and up to get a vaccine without permission from a parent or guardian. The law covers any vaccine approved by the FDA. It shocked me to learn about other states and D.C. already allow this: ..."

Trump lied about value of business empire — and size of his Trump Tower penthouse, AG James says Lies about size matter. Former President Donald Trump and his children have lied about seemingly everything in the Trump Org empire — from the size of the patriarch’s luxury Manhattan penthouse to the value of properties around the globe — in order to score an array of financial benefits, New York Attorney General Letitia James charged in bombshell court papers. The lies to banks, government agencies and other regulators were “part of a pattern to suggest that Mr. Trump’s net worth was...

A Florida man pleaded guilty to federal charges of threatening to kill Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), according to the Department of Justice (DOJ). Palm Beach Gardens resident Paul Vernon Hoeffer, 60, pleaded guilty to interstate transmission of threats to injure in federal court in Ft. Pierce, the DOJ stated. He faces up to 15 years in federal prison. In March of 2019, Hoeffer called the office of the Speaker, stating that he had come a "long way" to "rattle" her head with bullets and threatened to behead her. The DOJ also stated that he had...

Viewing the aftermath of massive looting of packages from trains at a rail yard, Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-Calif) professed himself “shocked that our state is starting to look like a Third World country. We owe it to our citizens to see that this doesn’t happen. They deserve a clean and law-abiding environment in which to live.” The first action Newsom took was to take off his suit jacket and shirt, put on a baseball cap and covid mask and pitch in with the clean-up effort at the rail yard. “This will show the voters that I’m more than just talking...

Look, we usually torch The New York Times for a variety of reasons, but David Leonhardt has not been one to peddle panic porn about the virus, especially when it comes to Omicron. He aptly noted that this variant is no different than any other pathogen we face yearly with regards to risk. Hospitalizations aren’t as high, and the cases are mild. Those trends continue, with the article clearly stating that Omicron is “in retreat” (via NYT) [emphasis mine]: Since early last week, new cases in Connecticut, Maryland, New Jersey and New York have fallen by more than 30 percent....

Green Bay Packers star Aaron Rodgers recently blasted Joe Biden for claiming that the U.S. is suffering a “pandemic of the unvaccinated.” The future Hall of Famer also took a shot at the president’s public speaking. In Sept., Biden insisted during remarks delivered from the White House, that, “This is a pandemic of the unvaccinated. And it’s caused by the fact that despite America having an unprecedented and successful vaccination program, despite the fact that for almost five months free vaccines have been available in 80,000 different locations, we still have nearly 80 million Americans who have failed to get...

Together, the SEALs formed a political action committee called SEAL PAC, and this week, they released a joint campaign ad indicating their runs for Congress. In the ad, the SEALs are shown taking their oaths to defend the Constitution. Photos show the men while enlisted on various missions. “They took a blood oath to protect America,” the ad’s narrator says. “They understand that the only easy day was yesterday. They know that our enemies are no match for their strength and their courage. These former Navy SEALs have protected America from enemies all over the world. Now they have one...

Bitcoin is referred to as the digital gold and after the incredible performance the digital asset has put on over the last couple of years, there is no doubt that this title was rightfully given. Now, though, the asset has moved on from competing against other digital assets to competing with gold. The latter has not done too well in the last couple of years, crushing confidence in its future. This is how bitcoin has managed to float into the radar of small and large investors alike. The digital asset, returning over 200% gains per year, has proven to not...

It is Time to End the So-Called “Irreversible” Ecumenical Damage Common Ecumenical Prayer (Lund, Sweden, 2016) (Vatican Media)Among many other disturbing statements in the Roche/Francis Responsa ad Dubia, we find a reference to the so-called “irreversible” nature of liturgical reform:“When Pope Francis (Address to the participants in the 68th National Liturgical Week, Rome, 24 August 2017) reminds us that ‘after this magisterium, after this long journey, We can affirm with certainty and with magisterial authority that the liturgical reform is irreversible’ he wants to point us to the only direction in which we are joyfully called to turn our...

PHOENIX (AP) — U.S. Sen. Kyrsten Sinema is growing increasingly isolated from some of her party’s most influential officials and donors after playing a key role in scuttling voting rights legislation that many Democrats consider essential to preserving democracy. Leaders of the Arizona Democratic Party voted Saturday to censure Sinema, a symbolic condemnation for the woman who just three years ago brought the party an Arizona Senate seat for the first time in a generation. Donors are threatening to walk away. Several groups are already collecting money for an eventual primary challenge, even though she’s not on the ballot until...

Say it ain't so Joe. Joe's first year report card just arrived at home and the country isn't happy. Let's not sugarcoat it-his grades were terrible, horrible, muy malo. 49% of those polled gave Biden either an F or a D. Yeah, that makes sense. Joe 'gifted' 85 billion dollars of our sensitive military equipment to the Taliban and then vaporized a family of 10 with a drone strike. But wait, there's more. Then Joe abandoned Americans in Afghanistan when he skedaddled and put 13 brave soldiers in harms way which cost them their lives. Don't forget that Joe still...

Barring a minor miracle, three Russian teenagers would have battled it out for the podium places: 16-year-old Alena Kostornaia and a pair of 15-year-olds, Anna Shcherbakova and Alexandra Trusova. The trio have revolutionized figure skating. What makes them so good? Well, owing to their remarkable jumps, they maximize the technical points on offer. Trusova and Shcherbakova have both mastered skating’s holy grail: the quad, an exhaustive element – and up until recently an unheard-of feat for ladies, which is four full rotations in the air. However, there are concerns. First, rather than a skating competition for women, are we now...

Many wealthy people who have multiple mansions, yachts, private jets, and gas-guzzlers pretend to care about their carbon footprint as they lecture us that we should drive inefficient, impractical, expensive electric cars powered by batteries that are made from a flammable pollutant. Sometimes they buy fictional carbon credits to pretend they care. Their carbon footprint did not change on all their stuff. Ford and GM make huge profits selling gas-guzzlers and then pretend to care by buying a piece of paper showing carbon credits. The European Commission has proposed an E.U. fuel tax on airplanes and ships, but they exempt...

@MikaelThalen Patriot Front had its data leaked. This video sums them up pretty nicely: Camera on: We aren’t Nazis! Camera off: “Seig f---ing Heil, let’s f---ing go! I can say that now that it’s (the video) over.” Video & Thread ...
