It’s worth contrasting how so-called journalists covered Biden family corruption versus real disinformation.After The New York Times quietly admitted this week that Hunter Biden’s laptop is legitimate — something the corrupt media baselessly called “disinformation” in the run-up to the 2020 election to conceal Biden family corruption — it’s worth contrasting how so-called journalists covered that story versus the Russia collusion hoax to take down Donald Trump.When it came to the legitimate Hunter Biden laptop story just one month before the November 2020 election, Big Tech, the fake news media, and Democrats blew it off and nuked mentions of Biden...

A state with one of the largest percentages of White residents may ban critical race theory in classrooms — an effort that doesn’t sit well with a Jewish lawmaker who wants people to remember traditionally disenfranchised communities. Wyoming state Rep. Andy Schwartz (D) stood before his colleagues on Thursday to share his concerns about moving forward with the HB97 bill, which would have banned the teaching and training of critical race theory. After reviewing the bill, Schwartz found unacceptable provisions, such as one that allowed “controversial aspects of history” to only be taught “from a holistic point of view, a...

Senator Josh Hawley’s assessment of Judge Jackson’s record is squarely in the lane of jurisprudential analysis and the Judiciary Committee should take note. Senate Democrats have signaled their intent to begin confirmation hearings for Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, President Biden’s nominee to the Supreme Court, as early as next week. Thus far, the only information uncovered about Judge Jackson by the intrepid corporate press is that she will be the first black woman to serve on the Supreme Court.But research released this week by Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, calls into question Judge Jackson’s...

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has removed tens of thousands of deaths linked to COVID-19, including nearly a quarter of deaths it had listed in those under 18 years old.The health agency quietly made the change on its data tracker website on March 15.“Data on deaths were adjusted after resolving a coding logic error. This resulted in decreased death counts across all demographic categories,” the CDC says on the site.The CDC relies on states and other jurisdictions to report COVID-19 deaths and acknowledges on its website that the data is not complete.But the statistics are often cited...

Why Russian army is so weak? When Russia invaded, experts thought it'd win in 24-72 hours. Two weeks later the war's still going. How come? On paper Russian superiority's overwhelming Although Russia projects warlike image, its military r weak and don't know how to fight wars Notwithstanding with its warlike image, boosted by massive PR campaign, Russian military have nearly zero experience of fighting conventional wars against other regular armies. They were quite successful in suppressing civilian riots ofc, in Hungary 1956, Czechoslovakia 1968, etc Russians were less successful in suppressing guerrilla movements in Afghanistan and Chechnya.

“The mind cannot be seen under the microscope, but the microscope is just a tool we use. Tools are man-made; today with a microscope, you can see molecules, and tomorrow it may be an atomic microscope, or even a super microscope, and you can see smaller things.“Therefore, the fundamental reason why these people are not infected with the coronavirus is that at the macroscopic level, the body’s immune system—spleen, bone marrow, lymph nodes and other organs or tissues—function normally.“At the molecular level, it’s about immune cells, related molecules (interferons, etc) and other substances. But at a more microscopic level, there...

It was not supposed to be this way. Not in the mind of Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, anyway.With Russia’s invasion of Ukraine entering its fourth week, as my colleague Steiff reported on Thursday, Putin delivered a speech to the Russian people that at times sounded confident and reassuring, other times desperate and suspicious of his own people — even to the extent of threatening the “scum and traitors,” and a “self-cleansing to purge the bastards and traitors.” (“Uncle Joe” Stalin come to mind?)The bottom line? Putin knows he’s in a spot.So what’s a guy in a spot to do? For...

As a man wins the women’s NCAA championship, two fans disagree with one another. Wait for this line: “I’m not a vet but I know what a dog is.”

With the start of the NCAA women's tournament on Friday, two ESPN announcers used the platform to take a stand against Florida House Bill 1557, dubbed by critics as the "Don't Say Gay" bill. To start the second half of Friday's game between South Carolina and Howard, ESPN's Carolyn Peck and Courtney Lyle spoke about the bill in solidarity with their Disney colleagues. Disney owns ESPN.

A lawyer for the mother of Hunter Biden’s 3-year-old daughter expects the president’s son “to be indicted” for tax fraud, a report said.
