---SNIP--- Some of that vandalism happened during the riots of 2020. “Almost every single window had been broken up and down Walnut Street, Chestnut Street,” Katz said. “We had some people enter the store, got our cash register,” Silver Legends owner Leon Scott said. Silver Legends, which has been a staple on Walnut Street for more than 17 years, was one of the shops hit. He was forced to install security bars and says business dropped by 30% since 2020. On Wednesday, the mayor gave his take on why. “I don’t believe it’s an issue of the crime,” Mayor Jim...

“If there be time to expose through discussion, the falsehoods and fallacies, to avert the evil by the processes of education, the remedy to be applied is more speech, not enforced silence.” - Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis. 1856-1941, Liberal, ProgressiveSerious Throwback Thursday question: Does anyone else remember when Liberals were adamantly opposed to censorship? They were you know, back before “liberal” became a synonym for “fascist.” But today you would be hard pressed to find more than a handful of people who identify with the Left/Democrats who are opposed to cancel culture. They love shutting down whatever they determine...

A young doctor is speaking out after she stayed by the side of a woman injured in a carjacking. She says the violent crime unfolded in front of her Tuesday afternoon at the Costco gas station on Carrollton and Palmetto. The doctor's medical training and reflexes kicked into action as she went to be with the victim on the ground, but looking back she wonders could she have been in danger if the criminals were armed and began shooting. “I'm still shaking. I usually have my kids in my car with me, and this lady, she's somebody's wife. She's somebody's...

As you may already beware, a peace officer was recently killed while serving in the line of duty in Harris County (Houston), Texas. Like many recent police officer deaths, this was the result of a massive spike in the national crime wave caused in part by progressive criminal justice policies. At the funeral for Corporal Charles Galloway Judge Lina Hidalgo, an elected official who proudly "championed" bond reform, used the occasion to disrespect the fallen officer and prop up her political career. This happened despite the wishes of the fallen officer's family. Our friends at KTRH and the National Fraternal...

The fundraising platform said it wanted to 'ensure the funds are going to the intended recipients'.. GoFundMe paused the fundraising page for the Freedom Convoy 2022 after it surpassed $10 million Wednesday.

Former New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio is reportedly ready for Washington and a tilt at a U.S. House seat just weeks after he left his former post. Both the New York Post and Politico cited people with insight into the former mayor’s thinking Wednesday, claiming de Blasio is eyeing a run in New York’s 11th Congressional District after redistricting expanded it to include Park Slope, where the aspiring Democrat Congressman lives

Scientists have identified a mechanism through which important metals, crucial to the manufacturing of renewable energy technologies, are passed from the Earth’s mantle to the crust. The team, including researchers from Cardiff University, has discovered a ‘Goldilocks zone’ at the base of the Earth’s crust where the temperate is just right at around 1000°C for metals to be transported to shallower levels near the surface, where they can be mined. The metals in question – most notably copper, cobalt, tellurium, and platinum – are highly-sought after due to their use in electrical wiring and technologies such as battery storage devices,...

It took us a while to track down the information, but sadly, I am announcing the passing of our 'Greeneyes' on Thursday, December 30, 2021.

Thank you.

@BBCMarkEaston The @ukhomeoffice is NOT spending £1.2m a day on hotel rooms for rescued Afghans and asylum seekers, a departmental correction reveals. It is actually £4.7m a day. Or £1.7 billion a year.

It would seem that in our day, American history is being dismantled one statue at a time. Just the other week, New York City removed a statue of Theodore Roosevelt. NBC notes: “The bronze sculpture of Roosevelt on horseback with Native American and African figures depicted subjugation and racial inferiority, the American Museum of Natural History said.” A friend remarked, “The idea of erasing Teddy Roosevelt from that specific museum in New York---my goodness, they just made a beloved movie about 15 years ago where Teddy Roosevelt (played by Robin Williams, no less) comes alive at that very museum---is utterly...

Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti has urged those attending Super Bowl LVI at Sofi Stadium next weekend to wear masks — just days after he was photographed without wearing a mask at the same stadium at the NFC Championship game. Garcetti claimed that he only took his mask off for long enough to take photos with former L.A. Lakers star Magic Johnson and others, and that he did not exhale when he had his mask off, ostensibly reducing the risk to thousands of others at SoFi.

SARS-CoV-2 virus particles. (NIAID/Flickr/CC BY 2.0) Scientists deliberately infected young, healthy volunteers with SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus that causes COVID-19 – and now, they've shared their first results from that experiment. The new study, published Tuesday (Feb. 1) in Springer Nature's preprint database, In Review, has not yet been peer-reviewed, but it could provide insight into how mild COVID-19 unfolds, from the moment of exposure to the point that the virus is eliminated from the body. For the study, the researchers recruited 34 healthy volunteers ages 18 to 30; none of the participants had ever been infected with SARS-CoV-2 or received...

Please see me testimony. This happened just 2 days ago in Flagstaff,AZ. I was vented as a Covid patient. the day of my car accident. I woke up and removed the vent, argued with staff who said I was vented for covid. As you can see, I am breathing fine as I was before the accident. A miracle woke me up in a sea of sedatives and opiates. https://www.bitchute.com/video/k4UzOvDaJnXr/

OAKDALE, Calif. — A little more than 200 students in the Oakdale Joint Unified School District went to school without a mask on Wednesday, according to Superintendent Dave Kline. Parents referred to images of Gov. Gavin Newsom maskless at the 49ers-Rams football game over the weekend as having inspired the protest.

Olympic Freeskier Eileen Gu was born in California and grew up with all the advantages of a California lifestyle and the Colorado ski slopes. Still, despite all that, she intends to win gold for the genocidal Chinese government.

When Senator Ron Johnson held a panel discussion with renowned medical professionals and scientists last months, he did so knowing corporate media would ignore it. Unfortunately, many in conservative media ignored it as well. We were watching feeds for over 200 conservative sites and were disappointed that so few even mentioned the event.That’s the bad news. The good news is that the event itself was spectacular. It was loaded with bombshell after bombshell, many of which even the most ardent students of Pandemic Panic Theater hadn’t heard before. And while hundreds of thousands of Americans watched the 5+ hour event,...

More than 1500 years ago, a vast culture known as the Hopewell tradition (or Hopewell culture) stretched across what is today the eastern United States. The cause of the culture's decline has long been debated, with war and climate change two of the possibilities, but now a new avenue of inquiry has opened up: debris from a near-Earth comet. Researchers working across 11 different Hopewell archaeological sites covering three states have found unusual concentrations of iridium and platinum in their digging – telltale signs of meteorite fragments. Meanwhile, a charcoal layer in the sediment suggests an intense period of high...

Ensuring COVID-19 health and safety regulations are in place are at the forefront of preparations underway at SoFi Stadium ahead of Super Bowl LVI. “This is going to be one of the safest, most glamorous Super Bowls in the history of Super Bowls,” Inglewood Mayor James Butts said at a media briefing Wednesday.

As a candidate for Congress who is also a U.S. Army Reservist, I pay particular attention to the President’s duty as our Commander-in-Chief…and I’m disturbed by what I’m seeing. Millions of U.S. Forces at home and around the world are ready to deploy, serve, and risk their lives at a moment’s notice to defend the United States and her allies. Conflicts abroad can have major impacts on life at home, from endangering our physical security to affecting the price of gas and other critical resources. Having confidence in our Commander-in-Chief’s decision-making—whatever the decisions may be—matters. Unfortunately, resident Biden’s decision-making when...
