Los Angeles Rams fans rioted to celebrate the Super Bowl victory over the Cincinnati Bengals late Sunday night, going so far as to vandalize a city bus filled with passengers. In what has become an expected trend following a home sporting team’s championship victory, some Los Angeles fans took it upon themselves to block traffic on Grand Avenue in downtown L.A., the Daily Mail reported.

Dr. Vladimir Zelenko has done many interviews about the science behind Covid-19, treatments, and the so-called "vaccines." But in this interview, we went down a spiritual and conspiratorial path. There are reasons to be concerned, but ultimately there is one tremendous reason to have hope. That's the overarching message from Dr. Vladimir "Zev" Zelenko in my latest interview for The Midnight Sentinel. We covered much more than that and the entirety of the interview is enthralling. I strongly recommend making the time to listen to the whole thing. Around halfway into the interview, I asked Dr. Zelenko to describe the...

In 2010, as a 5th grader at Sellers Elementary in Glendora, California, part of the curriculum was learning the 50 states and their capitals. As we learned them, I felt that I could remember better if I learned information about each state. I had no clue what I was in for.During my research, my eyes were opened to how different life, politics, economics, and culture were in various states. As I dug more, my desire to leave the Golden State was planted and began to grow. Now 12 years later, due to a better financial situation, I am finally leaving.To...

Special counsel John Durham’s team alleged on Feb. 12 that a tech executive aligned with the Democratic Party was paid to spy on former President Donald Trump’s residences and the White House when Trump was president. Lawyers for the Clinton campaign allegedly paid the technology executive to infiltrate servers at the Trump Tower and the White House, Durham said in court filings (pdf), in order to establish an “inference” and “narrative” to tie Trump to the Russian government. Durham’s office made the claim as part of his investigation that had brought charges against Michael Sussmann, a lawyer who had worked...

The proposed indictment that we are providing is the evidence necessary for your county prosecutor to file a mass tort claim in the name of We the People and expose the crimes against humanity. By providing every county prosecutor in America with this evidence, We the People set off a coordinated, nation-wide criminal investigation into these crimes against humanity. If any county prosecutors fail to initiate a criminal investigation, We the People shall hold them criminally and civilly liable for their complacency of ignoring the mass genocide plaguing America and the world and we shall pursue their indemnity bonds. It...

As demonstrations against COVID-19 restrictions continue across Canada, the word freedom is on the lips and placards of many protesters. Often associated with protests and rallies in the United States, the term has taken hold among protesters who are part of the Freedom Convoy, which rolled into Ottawa in late January and has become entrenched in the city's downtown. For many, freedom is a malleable term — one that's open to interpretation. That flexibility, in part, has fuelled its growth among certain groups, said Barbara Perry, director of the Centre on Hate, Bias and Extremism at the Oshawa-based Ontario Tech...

From the perspective of freedom-loving citizens in this country, the trucker convoys and blockades protesting mask and vaccine mandates are a stirring spectacle of patriotism, civic responsibility, and true grit. They represent the offset to heavy-handed and arrogant government that is using everything in its power to suppress their efforts: threats, fines, police coercion, theft of property, and the manifestly illegal sequestering of funds donated to the truckers by private individuals. A conflict of this nature is often framed as the state versus the nation, the authorities versus the people. Whether it applies to the current situation, as we will...

The administration of U.S. President Joe Biden on Sunday described a predicted invasion of Ukraine by Russian forces as “imminent enough” after appearing to promise not to use the word “imminent,” as it clearly outraged officials in Kyiv. Biden officials have repeatedly claimed for more than a month that a full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine was “imminent,” prompting protests in the country from officials who complained that the reality on the ground on Ukraine’s eastern border did not match the rhetoric out of the White House and that the latter was tanking Ukraine’s economy – making an invasion more likely.

It’s the season for green-money showers in Australia -- the Coral Community just got one billion dollars of green bribes from PM Scott Morrison (this after $141M from PM Malcolm Turnbull just over three years ago). Koalas got $50M from Morrison whilst the Queensland Government bought a huge grazing property to be converted into a national park. And of course, the Green Broadcasting Commission got an extra $3.3 Billion over three years to promote their green agenda. Much of this green graft is directed at bribing green voters by mollycoddling trees and corals, both of which are among Australia’s long-term...

Gary Gensler, Biden’s current Head of the SEC, in 2015 and 2016 was running Hillary’s campaign finances at the same time millions flew from her campaign to entities with the sole purpose of making up a Russia collusion story that eventually led to spying on candidate and President Trump. When Hillary Clinton was putting together her 2016 Presidential campaign, she brought in Gary Gensler as her Chief Financial Officer. CNN reported in April 2015: Hillary Clinton’s campaign will add to its top ranks a man who’s known for being tough on Wall Street. Gary Gensler, the former chairman of the...

It’s time to determine how immune our population is. This experiment with the COVID-19 induced immunity injections now requires an assessment of the results. Let’s remember what the goal of this government-run goat rodeo is: to make our population immune. It’s not about how many jabs we can achieve through intimidation. It’s about how immune we as a nation stand. Let’s look back at COVID-19. It began with our government’s medical bureaucracy, pushing solutions to achieve what mankind has never achieved before against an airborne virus. The initial solutions proposed, masks, social distancing, shutting down the economy, were to last...

A pair of researchers at the University of Victoria, have confirmed the observation of a record breaking "rogue wave" off the coast of Vancouver Island two years ago. In their paper published in the journal Scientific Reports, Johannes Gemmrich and Leah Cicon describe data they analyzed from a buoy anchored off Vancouver Island. Rogue waves are a type of wave with a crest disproportionately higher than the waves around it. Though sometimes confused with tsunamis, rogue waves are quite different. They are thought to be generated by winds, whereas tsunamis are generally created by geologic events such as earthquakes. Also,...

Yesterday, I wrote a post detailing what was in Special Prosecutor John Durham's latest filing, a seemingly innocuous motion that contained within it the allegation that Rodney Joffe, a tech executive, at the behest of Hillary Clinton's campaign, spied on Trump, both in Trump Tower and his apartment and, later, in the White House. However, my cynicism is such that I doubted that this would actually come to anything. Mark Wauck, a retired counter-intelligence special agent for the FBI, is more optimistic.You can read Wauck's entire post here. It's built upon responding to what I wrote.As noted, I'm cynical that...

During the January 6, 2021 melee at the US Capitol, DC Metro Police Officer Lila Morris beat Rosanne Boyland to death with a steel baton and a large wooden stick at the entrance to the West Terrace tunnel. At the time, Boyland was lying unconscious on the floor. While the beating took place Justin Winchell, Boyland's traveling companion, pleaded with police to provide medical aid. Since the unconscious woman was not resisting arrest or posing a danger to anyone, the beating appeared unnecessary and cruel. The DC Metro Police conducted its own investigation of the incident and Capt. David Augustine,...

The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) declared an unlawful assembly in the downtown area after Los Angeles Rams fans got out of control following the team's win against the Cincinnati Bengals in Super Bowl LVI. "We are seeing violent and destructive behavior by large crowds in the heart of the Downtown LA area. We have issued several dispersal orders and have a large police presence. Everyone that is part of those crowds, obey all dispersal orders and clear the streets immediately," LAPD tweeted. Videos posted on Twitter showed stores were broken into and looted with some vehicles also being damaged....

While some of the recent energy price rises have been due to international market factors, part is the direct result of government policy. I mentioned the role of carbon pricing a few months ago in pushing up the cost of electricity. Since then carbon prices have jumped even higher to £84.50 per tonne. Two years ago they were trading at below £15/tonne (via the EU scheme). This increase has been deliberately engineered by government, in order to push up the cost of fossil fuel generation so as to make expensive renewables competitive. The policy is also to track EU carbon...

WHY IT WORKS Slicing shallots to the proper thickness with a mandoline ensures that they cook at an even rate and are able to crisp properly without becoming greasy. Removing the shallots from the heat and straining them when they're lightly golden keeps them from turning too dark and bitter due to carryover cooking. Gently blotting the shallots on multiple layers of paper towels keeps them from turning soggy and oily. Along with crispy fried shallots, this recipe produces an aromatic fried-shallot oil that can be used to make things like vinaigrettes, mayonnaise, or subsequent batches of fried shallots. If...

Stoneman Douglas High School shooting survivor and gun control activist David Hogg on Monday voiced his disappointment in President Joe Biden’s handling of gun reform. On the campaign trail, Biden promised he would go after gun manufacturers and the National Rifle Association.

OTTAWA (Reuters) - Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will inform provincial premiers of his intention to invoke special measures to give the federal government extraordinary powers to deal with protests that have shut some border crossings with the United States and paralyzed parts of Canada's capital, CBC News said on Monday. Citing unnamed sources, CBC said Trudeau planned to invoke the Emergencies Act, a rarely used provision that allows the federal government to override the provinces and authorize special temporary measures to ensure security during national emergencies anywhere in the country. It has only been used once in peacetime -...
