A man who allegedly terrorized his East Harlem neighbors with violent racist screeds for more than a year was finally arrested, sources said. Things got so bad at 158th East 126th Street, residents called the 8th floor the “floor of terror,” sources said. That’s where Marlon Carr, 47, lived and was arrested Friday morning, after barricading himself inside his apartment following a racist assault on his neighbor, a 39-year-old Asian man, according to law enforcement sources. *** *** “He started to yell really racist things — Wuhan b–ch, suck my d–k. It was offensive. I’m Chinese, [there are] a lot...

A man commits a serious crime, then he gets released. He has "paid his debt to society". But wait a minute, he's only ready for the half-way house. He's unlikely to get a prestigious job in his new prison suit coat, or any job at all; he has civil impediments, he can't vote or hold certain offices. His crime was serious enough that he won't be presumed to have been completely rehabilitated until he performs a notable service to society, or at least spends many years on the straight and narrow, so that his crime can be truly overlooked or...

Australian cricketer Shane Warne, a legend in the sport, died suddenly at the age of 52 of a sudden heart attack on Friday. “It is with great sadness we advise that Shane Keith Warne passed away of a suspected heart attack in Koh Samui, Thailand today, Friday 4th March,” MPC Entertainment, Warne’s company, said in a statement. “Shane was found unresponsive in his Villa and despite the best efforts of medical staff, he could not be revived,” they added. “The family requests privacy at this time and will provide further details in due course.” Last year, Warne was a cheerleader...

[H/T rodguy911]Press ReleaseFor Immediate ReleaseWashington, DC, March 03, 2022 — In a 55,000-page set of documents released on Tuesday, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA’s) Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) is for the first time allowing the public to access data Pfizer submitted to FDA from its clinical trials in support of a COVID-19 vaccine license. This follows U.S. District Judge Mark T. Pittman’s decision on January 6 to deny the request from the FDA to suppress the data for the next 75 years which the agency claimed was necessary, in part, because of its “limited...

[H/T rodguy911]The only way to avoid World War III is to listen to both sides. The refusal to listen ensures that we will move into World War III, and this is not my opinion; unfortunately, our computer has never been wrong, for it is unbiased. It called BREXIT when nobody else did, and also forecast that Trump would win in 2016 when everyone thought that was impossible.This time if our computer could hide under the covers in bed going into 2023, it would. We have the most incompetent crop of world leaders perhaps in human history, and the press is...

Defiant ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo turned a Brooklyn church appearance into a 25-minute gripe session Sunday in which he again blamed “cancel culture,” the media and “political sharks” for tanking his career. In his first public appearance since resigning last year, the accused serial sexual harasser whined about his explosive scandal to about 150 congregants at God’s Battalion of Prayer in East Flatbush, calling it “probably the toughest time of my life.” “As you probably know, I’ve gone through a difficult period the past few months. I resigned as governor, the press roasted me, my colleagues were ridiculed, my brother was...

A Ukrainian peace negotiator has been shot dead ahead of the latest round of talks to end the war amid claims he was a Russian spy. Ukraine's Ministry of Defence said Denis Kireev, 45, was a spy and former banker who was killed during an operation to 'defend the nation'. After his death, the government hailed him as a 'hero' but MPs claimed he was shot and killed by Ukraine's security service after resisting arrest on suspicion of 'treason'. Mr Kireev was pictured sat on the Ukrainian side of the negotiating table during last week's peace talks with Russia on...

It’s official. The collective “we” should now make a seamless pivot from fearing Covid to fearing Putin. The shift was introduced with the pomp and circumstance of a State of the Union address Tuesday night. What never seems to change is that they and their media minions want us to remain in a perpetual state of fear and anxiety–but only about what they tell us to fear. We’d better not be afraid of the loss of our Liberties, the destruction of our borders or our culture. We shouldn’t fear that the political majority in Washington has revealed their plan to...

People's Convoy Day 12 heading to D.C. Beltway.

Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that America should keep the option of a no-fly zone over Ukraine on the table. Host Chuck Todd said, “Would you support a no-fly zone? Would you support doing this, which could trigger a wider conflict?”

Vladimir Putin’s mistress Alina Kabaeva is allegedly hiding in Switzerland with their four young children, sources tell Page Six. “While Putin carries out his assault on the Ukraine, attacking innocent citizens and causing a refugee crisis, his family is holed up in a very private and very secure chalet somewhere in Switzerland – for now, at least,” a source told us. Kabaeva, an Olympic gold-winning gymnast, reportedly has four children with the Russian leader, 69, but the two have never officially confirmed it. Sources say they share 7-year-old twin daughters, who were born near Lugano, Switzerland, in February 2015. It...

FORMER U.S. AMBASSADOR TO NATO KURT VOLKER: Well, I think there are ways to do this that mitigate those risks, if not- doesn't eliminate the risk, but mitigates the risk of direct conflict with Russia. First off, I think we have to recognize that the civilian casualties and the horrific scenes that we just saw are going to get worse. They're not going to get better. There's going to be massive airstrikes against Kyiv, against other cities, and it's going to be absolutely devastating. So if we can prevent that from a humanitarian point of view, I think we- we...

As Russia keeps increasing its attacks on Ukraine, the partisan finger-pointing continues here at home. On Sunday's This Week on ABC, the "PowerHouse Roundtable" got heated when Former New Jersey Republican Governor Chris Christie rightly blamed President Joe Biden for the current situation in Ukraine. Anchor George Stephanopoulos started off the firestorm by asking Christie if there's anything Biden could've done short of "imposing a no-fly zone over Ukraine" that would've prevented Russian President Vladimir Putin from invading. Christie argued that if Biden had "aggressively armed Ukraine" from day one in office by continuing "the Trump policy" of providing arms,...

Most of my readers didn’t trust corporate media’s portrayal of Russiagate or the alleged pee tape that was manufactured for effect by Hillary Clinton’s operatives. You laughed when they tried to tell us the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation. You were skeptical of the narratives surrounding the after-dark counting of ballots following the 2020 election, as well as the dismissal of mountains of evidence of massive, widespread voter fraud. You didn’t buy the January 6 “insurrection” narrative. You haven’t fallen for Pandemic Panic Theater. Why, then, are so many people buying into the notion that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky...

We elect leaders to protect us, our families and our communities. We elect leaders to act responsibly with our tax dollars, to make our lives better, and to uphold our Constitution. The Biden Administration has done none of this. Below is an inventory of major actions taken by the Biden Administration that have hurt America. Not one action makes America better – Not one! 1. Our elections are sacred and the cornerstone of our republic. If they are stolen our republic is nothing. It’s over. Biden’s first major act against America was to steal the 2020 Election. You may not...
