The 2022 New York State Democratic Convention took place this week, and in her speech Gov. Kathy Hochul lavished praise on Attorney General Letitia James for her relentless pursuit of “Donald Trump-ism,” because, in a state buckling under soaring crime and fallen police officers, “Orange Man Bad” is a narrative all Democrats can apparently still unite behind.

A Louisiana teenager has been arrested after she allegedly attempted to hire a hitman on a prank website to kill her 14-year-old ex-boyfriend, police said. The girl, also 14, was charged with solicitation for murder and was booked into East Baton Rouge Juvenile Detention Center, according to police. Her lawyer, Michael Nunnery, said on Tuesday he didn't believe his client's actions carried the severity of the charge. 'My client is a juvenile first of all. In order to carry out any crime, you have to have the wherewithal to make it happen. This is a 14-year-old, she doesn't have five...

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — U.S. Rep. Jim Hagedorn, a conservative Republican from southern Minnesota who followed his father’s footsteps into Congress, has died after a battle with kidney cancer, his wife said. He was 59. Jennifer Carnahan said in a Facebook post Friday that Hagedorn “passed away peacefully” Thursday night. “Jim loved our country and loved representing the people of southern Minnesota,” Carnahan wrote. “Every moment of every day he lived his dream by serving others. There was no stronger conservative in our state than my husband; and it showed in how he voted, led and fought for our country.

Here’s an actual headline good for some laughs: “Vulnerable Senate Dems try to run as tax-cutters.” That howler of a header appeared this week in Politico. As the publication explained, four Democratic senators all up for re-election in 2022— Mark Kelly of Arizona, Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire, Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada, and Raphael Warnock of Georgia—are now in favor of suspending the federal gasoline tax, which is 18.4 cents a gallon. Politico added slyly, “It’s no coincidence that the Democrats most involved in the new push hail from the toughest battlegrounds.” And the article further added that in...

“The fear of a king is as the roaring of a lion: whoso provoketh him to anger sinneth against his own soul. It is an honour for a man to cease from strife: but every fool will be meddling” (Proverbs 20:2 KJV).

The Ottawa Police on Saturday night started firing rubber bullets and tear gas on HUNDREDS of peaceful Freedom protesters in downtown Ottawa. The Canadian protesters were shouting, “Freedom!” as the police fired rubber bullets and tear gas into the crowd. The protesters then started chanting, “Shame on you!” following the brutal police assault. The police department is being flooded with complaints on their violent attacks on peaceful protesters. Of course, the globalist Western press is completely ignoring these horrible acts you would expect to see in some tyrannical regime. Via MisterSunshineBaby.

Economic stimulus checks meant to aid in the recovery of the COVID-19 pandemic contributed significantly to the record surge in Americans who died of opioid overdoses, according to a study by the Ohio Attorney General’s Center for the Future of Forensic Science. The Ohio Attorney General’s peer-reviewed study, titled “COVID-19 Economic Impact Payments and Opioid Deaths,” has been accepted for publication by the International Journal of Drug Policy for its April 2022 volume. “The link between pandemic relief money and opioid overdose deaths is now evident,” Yost said. “The intent was to help Americans navigate this deadly pandemic but it...

A law requiring Seattle bicyclists to wear helmets had been in effect for nearly 30 years, but was revoked in the name of racial equity. The King County Board of Health voted to repeal the helmet mandate because of accusations that the law was disproportionately enforced against people of color and homeless people. In 1993, King County passed the law that requires all bicyclists to wear helmets. The law was expanded to explicitly include Seattle in 2003. The law was enacted to decrease the severity of bicycling incidents. However, the community began noticing data that suggests black and homeless bicyclists...

The man — a self-proclaimed “multi-millionaire” who uses the handle @realkingkhang — took to the app on Valentine’s Day to share a short video showering the waiter with the very generous gratuity. “I love doing this. Feels so good making someone’s day,” he wrote beneath the video, which was filmed in an Olive Garden eatery at an unknown location. The clip shows the the man telling the server to swipe on a payment screen until it reaches the maximum tip percentage. “Swipe as far as it goes. Boom — 200%!” he enthuses, leaving the elderly server stunned. SNIP However, a...

Most New Yorkers may consider them rats with fluffy tails, but, elsewhere, squirrel has become a chic new menu item. As part of a growing ethical dining trend, chefs have begun serving up dishes made with the North American gray squirrel, an invasive species. “My original starting point with gray squirrel was taste. But it’s also great for the environment,” renowned Scottish chef Paul Wedgwood told the Guardian of the inspiration for adding gray squirrel to the menu of his Edinburgh restaurant Royal Mile in 2008. “It’s mellow, nutty and a bit gamey. It’s just a really nice flavor, and...

When January and the rest of winter roll in, I automatically begin pondering wintertime squirrel hunting, which is a highly underutilized outdoor pastime. I thoroughly enjoy every opportunity to go squirrel hunting and have my favorite spots on both private and public land, not only in my home Thumb area, but elsewhere in the state, such as the oak-filled hardwoods on public land in the Baldwin area, one of my favorite locations for this pastime. A beauty about squirrel hunting is that you don’t have to travel far to find ample opportunities anywhere in our great state of Michigan. And...

The WEF’s digital identity scheme is laying the foundation for a global social credit system that will give them the power to control citizens and punish those they deem “untrustworthy.” In February 2022, Klaus Schwab’s World Economic Forum (WEF) released a new report, “Advancing Digital Agency: The Power of Data Intermediaries,” which lays out their plans for the creation of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, a fusion of the “physical, digital and biological world.” The unelected WEF globalists have capitalized on Covid and are using the “vaccine passports” to lay the foundation for widespread digital identity adoption. This is just one...

The helicopter crashed near West Balboa Boulevard and 18th Street, according to Newport Beach Police Department spokeswoman Heather Rangel. The Huntington Beach Police Department later confirmed that the helicopter was theirs. “We can confirm that our police helicopter, HB1, crash landed in the Newport Beach area. Rescue efforts are underway & more information will be released when available,”

There’s a mental disorder called “Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy” in which a caregiver, such as a parent, fakes illness in others so they can be treated even when they’re not sick. I’ve heard this term used to reference people like Anthony Fauci and Bill Gates, but on a national and global scale. They seem to want millions or even billions of people to turn to them for care for a disease they manufacture. But that’s not really a fair assessment. Fauci may be a narcissist and Gates may be a sociopath, but neither is in it just for the glory....

Real Time" host Bill Maher warned of the lasting impacts school mask mandates could have on children and argued that children need to be exposed to the world's germs. During Friday's installment of the show's "Overtime" segment, the panel discussed the recent recall of three progressive school board members who were ousted for prioritizing woke initiatives, like renaming schools named after former presidents, over the wellbeing of students. Maher asked former assistant San Francisco district attorney Brooke Jenkins, who is leading the recall effort against current DA Chesa Boudin, if it was time to stop masking children. "Having a 5-year-old...

Neil Oliver delivers his remarks this weekend against the background of oppressive government on display in Canada. The issues around the vaccines that Oliver notes are at the heart of what the Canadian truckers were protesting. Yet, those original grievances have been lost, intentionally lost and buried by the government of Justin Trudeau, because the Canadian government finds it less of a risk to trigger a national emergency act declaration than discuss the issues around forced vaccination. Think about that carefully. As common in his monologues, Oliver outlines the baseline issue, lost in the shadows of the national emergency declaration,...

As we told you earlier, Quintez Brown, the left-wing BLM activist arrested and charged with the attempted murder of Jewish Democratic mayoral candidate Craig Greenberg, is out on bail. Sometimes crime does pay. It pays your bail! In the two weeks before Quintez Brown the antisemitic radical terrorist, tried to murder a Jewish mayoral candidate, his social media has pictures accusing Jews of being plantation owners, accusing Jewish money of running politics, and trafficking Black Hebrew Israelite garbage. pic.twitter.com/aQu14LHbY6 — Rabbi S Litvin (@BluegrassRabbi) February 17, 2022 Apparently Quintez Brown has some very interesting friends in the folks behind the...
