OAKLAND, Calif. - Ersie Joyner III pumps his arms on the treadmill and rolls his hips on a foam roller. He lunges. He extends his body into a plank, crunching his knees to his chest. He pumps dumbbells into the air. "Let’s get it!" Joyner shouts with a clap. "Whoo!" It’s no small feat that the 52-year-old retired Oakland police captain is working out at this Hayward gym with his trainer, who also happens to be an associate pastor with whom he studies the Bible every week. Joyner’s body was pierced with 22 bullet wounds after being shot by four...

True the Vote has been doing amazing behind-the-scenes work to uncover a massive voter fraud scheme in critical states that used “mules,” or delivery people who drop multiple harvested ballots into absentee ballot drop boxes. Their incredible work will blow the lid off a voter fraud scheme so sophisticated that it will finally unlock the key to how the 2020 elections were stolen and reveal why Democrats are fighting so hard to nationalize elections and make drop boxes and absentee ballots a permanent way of voting in future elections. Last night, during President Trump’s massive rally in Conroe, Texas, he...

Calvin’s father was closer to the truth than he thought:That is pretty much how they do it when Democrats are in charge. You see, the bridge in Pittsburgh that collapsed last week was known to be failing. It was one of those projects that the Obama/Biden administration touted as a “shovel ready job” that the nearly trillion dollar "American Recovery and Reinvestment Act" was intended to fix.So why didn’t it? Why was this rusted out bridge, first identified as a shovel ready job during Obama’s first term and scheduled to be rebuilt in 2016, left to fall down? Well, that’s...

While this is on Facebook, non Facebook individuals may also view it. I did, and I have never been on facebook. 🙂 It's a short video montage that shows scenes from the East Coast Canada Unity Freedom Convoy. There is no dialog, just music playing in the background, and the runtime of the video is 3:27 (3 minutes & 27 seconds).

He said, “If I have found favor in your eyes, my lord, do not pass your servant by. Let a little water be brought, and then you may all wash your feet and rest under...

Millions of dollars in donations to Black Lives Matter have mysteriously disappeared as several of the group’s top leaders have resigned in disgrace. Worse, there seems to be confusion about who is even in charge today. According to the Washington Examiner, the group’s tax forms do not match up and the remaining leaders can’t say who is the top person in charge.

The Evidence Thus Far. In this post I’ll be detailing the evidence, testimony, and documents we know – or can assume – Special Counsel John Durham has obtained during his investigation. By no means is this an exhaustive list; certainly, he has more information, documents, correspondence, etc. than we realize. There are unknown witnesses who have testified before a grand jury or have been interviewed by Durham’s team. There are issues he’s investigating out of the public knowledge. His investigation is remarkably tight-lipped. As far as we know, they aren’t leaking to the press for publicity or to put pressure...

Yesterday I wrote about the Brooklyn public school teacher, Christopher Flanigan, who described the massive gathering of police officers at slain Detective Jason Rivera’s funeral as “ideal conditions for reciprocity,” after citing a 2020 instance where a police vehicle drove through a crowd of protesters and rioters in the city. I am forced to confess that I got one thing wrong when covering that story. After noting an actress who was fired after also complaining about the funeral, I said that her treatment was “more than you’ll see happening to Mr. Flanigan” because of the far-left climate in most of...

A 24-year-old man was acquitted Friday afternoon of capital murder in the 2019 slaying of the brother of an NFL football player. A Jefferson County jury, after two days of deliberation, decided Darrius Frazier fired in self-defense when he killed 27-year-old Gjamal Antonio Rodriguez and wounded Rodriguez’s girlfriend, Dedria Johnson, more than two years ago. Rodriguez was the brother of NFL lineman Mario Addison who played at Troy University and then for the Carolina Panthers. He now plays for the Buffalo Bills. The case was prosecuted by Jefferson County Deputy District Attorneys Jessica Hebson and Lauren Breland. Defense attorney Emory...

You’ve heard of Hidin’ Biden. Our neighbor to the north, my native land, just outdid that with Cut-and-Run Justin. With the pandemic in full swing, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau urged Canadians to show support for those helping to keep food on their tables. “While many of us are working from home, there are others who aren’t able to do that — like the truck drivers who are working day and night to make sure our shelves are stocked. So when you can, please #ThankATrucker for everything they’re doing and help them however you can,” he tweeted March 31, 2020. Trudeau...

The insanity must finally end, now. After two years of living in fear, Americans must get up off their knees and embrace their freedoms once again. Our forefathers did not fight and die for this country to be overtaken by insane bureaucrats, fearful politicians, and medical professionals beholden to the federal government and the pharmaceutical industry. For two years, the mainstream news media has constantly sounded the alarm about COVID-19, then the Delta variant, followed by the Omicron variant. Not surprisingly, there is now another variant being promoted. In fact, there will always be another variant on the horizon. This...

Entrepreneur Elon Musk mocked Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Sunday for dismissing the “Freedom Convoy” of truckers against vaccine mandates as a “fringe minority.” The convoy rolled into Ottawa for a protest attended by tens of thousands of people on Saturday. Demonstrators mocked Trudeau, called for him to step down, and demanded and end to Canadian COVID-19 vaccine mandates. Videos online of the protest showed thousands of people marching through Ottawa in support of the truckers. “It would appear that the so-called ‘fringe minority’ is actually the government,” Musk tweeted on Sunday, reacting to video of the protest. “Protesting...

en-year analysis links police complaints with hospital records, suggesting that the consequences of police misconduct may begin in utero and persist across the life course. It is well known that Black women experience disproportionately high rates of preterm delivery and cardiovascular disease. New research from Northwestern University suggests that one contributor to these inequities may be the stress created by police violence occurring in Black women's neighborhoods. The study, "Complaints about the excessive use of police force in women's neighborhoods and subsequent perinatal and cardiovascular health," was published Jan. 19 in Science Advances. The multidisciplinary study conducted by experts in...
