I had the day off today and I noticed that all the news programs are calling it Lunar New Year rather than Chinese New Year.

New campaign filings show North Carolina U.S. Rep. Ted Budd brought in more money during the final three months of 2021 than his opponents in his bid for the Republican Party’s U.S. Senate nomination. It’s the first time since both candidates entered the race in April that Budd has reported raising more money than former Gov. Pat McCrory, his top competitor. Budd’s campaign on Monday reported raising more than $968,000 during the period ending Dec. 31, according to a Federal Election Commission filing. McCrory took in more than $748,000. Campaign finance filings are an indicator of a candidate’s strength and...

Convoy Reports Following the federal government's announcement of a cross-border vaccine mandate, a coalition of Canadian truckers travelled from B.C. to Ottawa to protest COVID restrictions in the nation's capital. Rebel News has reporters closely covering the truckers' Freedom Convoy. Follow along on this page for all of our hard-hitting coverage.

The government watchdog group Judicial Watch has filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) for communications between then-CIA Director Gina Haspel and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley in 2020-21, which reportedly involved the targeting of President Donald Trump. As reported in Newsweek, in the days after the 2020 presidential election, Haspel apparently told Milley, "We are on the way to a right-wing coup."

The current work involves the creation of unusual excitons in the material nickel phosphorus trisulfide (NiPS3). These excitons are "dressed" or affected by the environment that surrounds them. In this case that environment is the magnetism. The physicists found that a pulse of light causes each of the little electron "needles" in NiPS3 to start rotating around in a circle. The rotating spins are synchronized and form a wave throughout the material, known as a spin wave. Spin waves can be used in spin electronics, or spintronics... Spintronics essentially uses electrons' spin to go beyond electronics, which is based on...

Defund the Police sympathizers from the so-called “Squad” collectively spent over $325,000 on private security in 2021, after continuously promoting the radical left-wing policy, according to a report. The Federal Election Commission (FEC) reports analyzed by Fox News revealed that Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO) was one of the biggest spenders from the so-called “Squad.” Bush reportedly spent over $65,000 in the fourth financial quarter filing alone on private security, totaling approximately $200,000 combined in 2021, using firms like Peace Security and Whole Armor Executive Protection. AD Bush, who spent the most out of all of the Squad members, was sworn...

News of Sen. Ben Ray Luján’s (D-N.M.) stroke sent shockwaves through the Senate on Tuesday, underscoring the fragility of Democrats’ 50-50 majority. Democrats are in the majority because they have 50 seats and the ability for Vice President Harris to break a tie. Luján’s absence leaves them at 49 seats until he returns, with his office saying he’s expected to make a full recovery. “It's just a reminder that in a 50-50 Senate any unexpected development could be a challenge to our moving forward on an agenda that the Democratic caucus shares,” said Sen. Chris Coons (D-Del.), who said he...

Whoopi Goldberg who is black and influenced by the false notion that only colored people can be victims of racial hatred. She was slammed for uttering a most stupid irresponsible line as if the Nazi Holocaust was "not racially: motivated and was just an internal "dispute" among white people. Thus, indirecly insinuating somehow a cruel lie, as if the 6 Millions men, women and children systematically slaughtered were ever "doing" something against others. Still, after sort of apologizing, she still doubled down on her malicious rewriting of history. It is related to the erred notion that only colored people can...

@BNONews Whoopi Goldberg suspended from 'The View' for 2 weeks after saying the Holocaust "isn't about race" - CNN

MSNBC host Joy Reid recently claimed that Republicans are attempting to rile up white voters by coming out against what many are calling ‘critical race theory.’ On her show, ‘The Reid Out,’ she suggested that this is about selling ‘white grievance and rage’ which Reid said is the ‘same rage that produces attacks on Asian-Americans and Jewish people.’ But is this actually correct? Who are the main perpetrators of the attacks on Jews and Asians, and are these the most likely form of interracial attacks in the US? Statements like this and articles with headlines like “Can US Spy Agencies...

Statement by Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States of America 02/01/22 So pathetic to watch the Unselect Committee of political hacks, liars, and traitors work so feverishly to alter the Electoral College Act so that a Vice President cannot ensure the honest results of the election, when just one year ago they said that “the Vice President has absolutely no right to ensure the true outcome or results of an election.” In other words, they lied, and the Vice President did have this right or, more pointedly, could have sent the votes back to various legislators for...

Just a guy walking around the truck protest with high quality camera in downtown Ottawa.

The demonstration is tied to the ongoing nationwide "Freedom Convoy" protests over Canada's new restrictions on unvaccinated cross-border truckers. Some motorists and local residents have reportedly been stuck in standstill since the protest began on Saturday. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police in Alberta said the event was "unlawful". They said "extensive efforts" to negotiate with protest organisers had failed and the force has tapped "additional resources" to make arrests or tow trucks if needed. "While we thought we had a path to resolve this, the protesters chose not to comply," a statement said. The line-up of trucks in Alberta extends...

Glover, who was part of the first operational crew mission to the ISS on board SpaceX’s Crew Dragon spacecraft in November 2020, gave Cruise several pointers as to what to expect. Cruise partnered with SpaceX in 2020 to film what could soon become one of the first action movies filmed in space. During an interview for the NASA podcast “The Body in Space” — originally recorded in November, but published Friday — Glover didn’t beat around the bush. “When you first get to space station is when you notice the smell the strongest because you kind of get saturated and...

In Monday’s episode of ABC’s “The View,” host Whoopi Goldberg claimed the Holocaust was “not about race.” That’s historically confused and minimizes the Nazi genocide of the Jewish people. In addition, it misrepresents the nature of the Nazis and therefore makes it more difficult to oppose fascist authoritarian violence, whether that violence is directed at Jewish people or at others. Goldberg apologized a few hours later, acknowledging that the Nazis targeted the Jews because they were a group “who they deemed to be an inferior race.” Initially, though, she said the Holocaust was not racially motivated because Jewish people are...

M-class solar flares are medium-sized space weather events that can cause temporary radio blackouts on Earth, according to the European Space Agency. The burst, which came from a sunspot called AR2936, was especially long-lasting, enduring for more than four hours, astronomer Tony Phillips reported at Spaceweather.com. This outburst is a type of CME known as a "halo CME," which appears larger than the sun in coronagraph images obtained by sungazing spacecraft as the solar particles approach Earth, appearing like a circular halo.

This afternoon farmers in the area of Coutts, Alberta broke through the Royal Canadian Mounted Police barricade set up to block food and supplies from getting to truckers mounting a blockade at the nearby US border crossing into Montana. Alberta's Premier Jason Kenney of the United Conservative Party described the incident this way: "I've received reports in the last hour of people aligned with the protesters assaulting RCMP officers including one instance trying to ram members of the RCMP leading to a collision with a civilian vehicle" Kenney is urging anyone sympathetic with the trucker's blockade protesting COVID vaccine mandates...
