The federal Department of Justice (DOJ) has dismissed cases for 31 ANTIFA thugs who were charged with crimes related to rioting in Portland, Ore.Four defendants who were charged with felony assault of a federal officer had those charges dropped. More than half of the charges were “dropped with prejudice,” meaning that those cases cannot under any circumstances be brought up again in court.Billy Williams, the U.S. Attorney for Oregon, claimed at the time there would be severe consequences against ANTIFA terrorists who committed wanton acts of destruction outside of the Mark O. Hatfield United States Courthouse throughout the summer of...

Last week, China Daily published an article that perfectly encapsulates the magical thinking taking place worldwide around Covid-19 vaccines. Titled “Plea for jabs even as Africa infections trend lower,” the piece described how African “health experts” are “stepping up calls for more people to get vaccinated against COVID-19 in a bid to ward off future outbreaks even as trends point to a decline in the growth rate for new infections.” That’s right, despite a clear downward trend in mostly-mild OMICRON cases, “health experts” want MORE “jabs.” And adding even more to the cognitive dissonance here are the reasons they cite...

There’s no sense in pretending that we don’t take pleasure in the total failure of our Marxist-curious party of the left. Through a combination of outright fraud, procedural irregularities, plus the total support of the garbage establishment and its failed institutions, the Democrats took power by the thinnest of margins and have proceeded to fail on a level comparable to Heaven’s Gate, New Coke, and the Weekly Standard. There’s no shame in enjoying their total rejection by all decent Americans. In fact, you should enjoy it without hesitation or mercy, especially since it means more than just us cons getting...

A woman's fuming Facebook post after sending her husband Clive to buy a leg of lamb in Tesco has become the talk of Ramsbottom. Rozalia Linder said she was "absolutely mortified" after discovering the price her husband Clive paid for the lamb, which swiftly went viral with likes and shares on Saturday night and became known as "Lambgate" on Ramsbottom forums. The whole community was gripped by what was going to happen next after Clive's wife left the post fuming at the £30 price of leg of lamb he came back with from their local Tesco supermarket. Posting a picture...

A solid majority of Americans know that the 2020 election was fraudulent. That’s a big problem for a country with a representative government, one in which the leaders are supposed to represent the will of the people. We’re a nation of laws ostensibly flowing from a Constitution that sets out explicit limitations on the federal government’s powers and protects a variety of citizens’ rights upon which said government cannot infringe. To the degree that a significant majority of citizens feel that the leader of this government was not constitutionally elected, that’s a problem. For all its importance, our Constitution is...

The recent Marshall fire in Boulder, Colorado and neighboring communities was the most destructive fire in Colorado history, moving quickly and relentlessly, destroying more than 1,000 homes, leaving an apocalyptic level of destruction in its wake. Nature can be vicious, oblivious to human activities or desires. A confluence of weather events including high winds and lack of recent precipitation combined to fan the flames of this inferno. The fire was quickly and predictably blamed on global warming, now called climate change, although a changing climate, including moisture and drought, are nothing new to Colorado and have been occurring long before...

It’s becoming ever more apparent that the government health intelligentsia’s efforts to protect Americans from COVID have been a complete failure. That’s why you’ve heard nothing about its success. But here’s what we do know for sure: There’s never been any convincing evidence that wearing a loose-fitting rag over your face stops viral spread, but if that doesn’t give one pause to question the efficacy of the practice, then there’s always the incontrovertible fact that there isn’t a single place on the planet which can be pointed toward as the beacon of evidence for the efficacy of mask mandates. Regarding...

Former Gov. Eliot Spitzer used an alias at a Manhattan hospital while checking in on the escort he was accused of choking hours before in February of 2016. Spitzer, 62, also named dropped then-Police Commissioner Bill Bratton to cops who were investigating the Plaza Hotel incident and claimed that blood found in the hotel room after Svetlana Travis-Zakharova slit her wrist was from her menstrual cycle, according to investigative documents that lawyers for The Post fought to have unsealed. In the aftermath of the violent encounter, the then 25-year-old woman threatened she would “make it worse than 2008,” for Spitzer,...

I know that Zero Hedge is banned here for a reason, namely its anonymous authors and potentially unverifiable information, but this subject matter was a little too important for me not to share.

In the Ukraine crisis, Russian natural gas supplies should not be subject to EU sanctions, according to Austrian Foreign Minister Alexander Schallenberg. The Baltic Sea pipeline Nord Stream 2 should also be excluded, the conservative politician made clear in an interview with the Sunday edition of Die Presse newspaper. Schallenberg pointed out to the Austrian newspaper that Nord Stream 2 is not yet in operation. Therefore, he said, the pipeline could not be used to build up a threat. "We in Europe are to a certain extent dependent on energy from Russia," the chief diplomat also argued. "We will not...
