The California Department of Fish and Wildlife and the Postal Service are investigating whether a Sacramento County mail carrier bludgeoned a wild turkey to death with a pole — and whether his actions were justified. According to KCRA, turkeys freely roam the Northern California neighborhood and typically “mind their own business” — but lately, they’ve been particularly aggressive toward delivery drivers, and their behavior has residents divided. “I love the turkeys,” neighborhood resident Debbie Eastman told the outlet. “They’re just a little friendly part of the neighborhood.” However, other residents say that they’re terrorizing the community. “They are pests and...

EL PASO, TX—In a last-ditch effort to get Democrats to start caring about border security, the Texas government has disguised their southern border as the border between Ukraine and Russia. "Oh please, won't someone please help us?" said Texas Governor Greg Abbot while hoisting blue and yellow flags all along the border fence. "Putin's forces have encircled us from the south and are entering our country uninhibited!" Having fallen for the clever ruse, WEF Chairman Klaus Schwab called his pal George Soros and ordered him to assemble the dark united forces of media, corporations, and the Illuminati and unite the...

Joy Behar, a co-host of ABC’s “The View,” fell on stage while attempting to sit on a swivel chair as the show opened on Thursday morning. The other co-hosts, Whoopi Goldberg, Sara Haines and Sony Hostin, rushed to help Behar get up off the floor. Goldberg said, “Come on, just stop, just stand.” Hostin said, “Let me tell you, these chairs are dangerous.” Goldberg said, “These chairs move, and you touch it, and you’re on the ground.” Hosting added, “These chairs are terrible. It’s happened to all of us at one time or another.” Behar said, “Twenty-five years, that has...

Here’s a summary of one of the preliminary findings regarding Dominion Voting: “The Special Counsel reviewed extensive reporting of a Dominion machine failure event in another State. The OSC was able to identify, through the reports of experts, that the failed machine recorded two anonymous and unauthorized access events from its VPN. This means, contrary to what Dominion has publicly stated, that at least some machines had access to the internet on election night. Shortly after the unauthorized access was recorded, the machine failed and was reset, wiping all voting history and forcing that election administrator to rely on unverifiable...

One of the jurors who sentenced Scott Peterson to death admitted to sending him 17 letters, including one from the psychiatric unit, as a court considered whether her actions warranted re-trial for her husband’s murder. A retrial for Peterson has been sought by his legal team due to Richelle Nice’s involvement in the case. They have also contended that during the jury selection process, Richelle Nice withheld critical information regarding her background as a domestic abuse survivor. In court Monday, Nice revealed that she had composed more than a dozen letters for Peterson after he was convicted of the murder...

There is something fishy going on… Yesterday, the US Embassy removed around 2p.m. all their Ukraine Bioweapon lab documents from their website. https://ua.usembassy.gov/embassy/kyiv/sections-offices/defense-threat-reduction-office/biological-threat-reduction-program/ Try by yourself… If you go on their website, you will see a bunch of pdfs files on the left side of the page.

Given pretend president Joe Biden’s basement-dwelling poll numbers, the Democrats decided the only way to get through the State of the Union 2022 would be to give Biden a standing ovation every time he said anything, and that’s exactly what they did. It was so nauseating that I had to turn it off about 18 minutes into it, truly a low point for America in a year, only 8 weeks old at this point, filled with low points. Then Joe Biden began to wax eloquent about every Democrat’s favorite form of child abuse, chemical castration of gender confused children, and...

A whistleblower lawsuit alleging fraud during Pfizer’s COVID vaccine trials is moving forward, after a district court judge unsealed the complaint, including 400 pages of exhibits. Brook Jackson in January 2021 sued Pfizer and two companies the drugmaker contracted with to work on the trials: Ventavia Research Group and ICON PLC. Jackson worked for Ventavia for a brief period in 2020 before being fired after she filed a complaint with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) over alleged improprieties she observed during the vaccine trials. She also gave The BMJ a cache of internal company documents, photos and recordings...

A different perspective for you: Democracy was under attack in Ukraine since 2014 when anti-Russian Western Ukrainians overthrew the rightly elected President, Yanukovych. This is just a continuation of 7 years of anti-democratic actions, which were started by the Western Ukrainian people. The ethnically Russian Eastern Ukrainians will be home with their Russian brethren soon enough.

The American branch of Russian state-funded media network Russia Today (RT) is shutting down and laying off most of its staff, CNN reports. According to a memo, RT America will be “ceasing production” due to “unforeseen business interruption events.” “Unfortunately, we anticipate this layoff will be permanent, meaning that this will result in the permanent separation from employment of most T&R employees at all locations,” the memo said, via CNN. Per CNN, Misha Solodovnikov, the general manager of T&R Productions, the production company behind RT, delivered the news in person to hosts, correspondents, producers and others in the Washington, D.C....

see the problem as Zelensky is really fighting for money but the press will not report the truth. There are vast gas fields under Crimea and he deliberately cemented off the canal to deprive Crimea of water. In the provinces demanding separatism since 2014, he has denied them any right to democracy because that region is also rich in oil. Look at the money and you just may see why Zelensky is putting his entire country at risk to benefit their oil companies so he can compete with Russia and hopes to provide the natural gas to Europe cutting off...

When a president's poll numbers are tanking, as the most recent Washington Post/ABC News poll shows they are for President Biden -- 37 percent approval -- he needed to do something spectacular, even radical, to keep him from sinking further. Unfortunately for Biden and his party, he did nothing that is likely to stem his free fall. Washington Post columnist Henry Olson said Biden's re-hashed agenda is "dead on arrival" in Congress. The opening part of the State of the Union address about Ukraine seems to have been tacked on to a speech that had already been written. The words...
