Kathleen B. Covalt’s interest in extraterrestrial life started over two decades ago, when she and her husband moved to the Hudson Valley in New York, not knowing it was a UFO hotspot. “We started meeting people who had stories,” said Covalt during a phone interview earlier this month. “I have a background in counseling, and people just like to tell me stuff. So, they were talking to me, and I believed them; I believe that they had a real experience that they could not understand.” They joined a community group, where residents would gather to share their experiences with unidentified...

The unending search for equity in Democrat enclaves has now come for the bike helmet. When the King County Board of Health (which encompasses Seattle) discovered that Black, Indigenous, and other “People of Color,” along with homeless people, were getting more citations for biking without a helmet, equity compelled action: So the Board of Health repealed the bike helmet law, ensuring that this particular inequity would end even as it increases the possibility of serious head injuries for people of all colors and housing situations. In 1993, almost 30 years ago, the King County Board of Health passed a law...

Recently, Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau essentially called Melissa Lantsman, a conservative member of the Canadian Parliament, a swastika-waving Nazi. This wasn't just the usual disgusting and preposterously hysterical hyperbole employed by leftists. This was particularly egregious, as Lantsman is a descendant of Holocaust survivors. But in what passes for the mind of the prime minister, she had to be savaged because she dared to defend the truckers who are protesting his draconian mandates and increasingly brutal police-state actions. Trudeau said of his fellow public servants, "Conservative Party members can stand with people who wave swastikas; they can stand with...

If you ask any vaccine skeptics about their objections to the vaccine mandate their answer usually is two-fold. First, they are concerned about the effectiveness and side effects of the vaccine. The authorities are frequently redefining the term ‘fully-vaccinated’ by adding boosters also alarms them. They are also troubled by government overreach. They realize that once freedoms and rights are encroached upon by the government, they are seldom fully relinquished completely. The Biden administration has successfully mandated vaccines for health care workers, military personnel and non-citizen air travelers, while their attempts to mandate the vaccine for federal government contractors and...

@ezralevant My whole life I was Back The Blue. My whole life I was pro-cop. I was a master of giving them the benefit of the doubt, even for pretty obvious cases of police brutality. I simply cannot say I'm pro-police anymore. Not after watching these "just following orders" thugs. Video... ("LIVE IN OTTAWA: POLICE MOVING IN ON TRUCKERS CONVOY")

Elon Musk posted then deleted a satirical meme on Twitter that compared Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to Adolf Hitler. The Tesla CEO was responding to a Twitter post by the trade publication CoinDesk which reported that the Canadian government was cracking down on crypto transactions aimed at helping the truckers protesting vaccine mandates. “Stop comparing me to Justin Trudeau,” the meme featuring the likeness of Hitler read. At the bottom, it said: “I had a budget.” The tweet, which Musk deleted about 12 hours after he posted it, was criticized by other Twitter users, one of whom wrote: “This...

"And they all forsook him, and fled. And there followed him a certain young man, having a linen cloth cast about his naked body; and the young men laid hold on him: And he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked." "But if thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died. Let not then your good be evil spoken of: For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. For he that in...

Joy Behar has been hit by another hypocrisy storm after being photographed unmasked inside a New York City restaurant hours after crowing of her plans to wear one indefinitely on national television. On Thursday afternoon, as The View co-hosts discussed relaxed mask mandates in New York State and Behar, 79, declared that she would remain masked up despite constantly changing guidelines. 'Personally, I listen to the little voice in my head that doesn't really follow 100 percent what they tell me because they keep changing it,' Behar said on Thursday.

Alec Baldwin was spotted heading out for coffee in New York City on Saturday, as a New Mexico DA revealed it was possible the actor might have fired the bullet that killed Rust cinematographer Halyna Hutchins without pulling the trigger. The breakthrough revelation by Santa Fe District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies comes just days after Hutchins' family sued the beleaguered actor, claiming he is in 'complete denial' of his role in her death and is 'blaming others' over the October 21 shooting. The slain cinematographer's family also claimed Baldwin, 63, is 'not accepting any responsibility' for her sudden death last year...

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 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...
