A 14-year-old boy was punched in the head and body countless times by a gang of attackers at a Brooklyn train station in a seemingly random attack.

Beyond the fact that Ketanji Brown Jackson was obviously trying to keep from making the ‘woke’ masses angry by defining a woman, the fact she would go in that direction while being ‘interviewed’ by the Senate tells us she doesn’t really care about the law, she cares about the politics. And as Harmeet K. Dhillon points out, this is not just embarrassingly biased but could have some actual legal ramifications. Take a gander: How do you adjudicate Title VII claims without being able to to answer this question? Title IX? https://t.co/VicNi0Yrjj — Harmeet K. Dhillon (@pnjaban) March 23, 2022 Right?...

Earlier this month, already high gas prices sustained throughout the resident’s 14-month tenure reached a new peak at $4.33 a gallon. A coalition of 10 oil and natural gas trade associations representing small- to mid-size producers blasted resident Joe Biden last week for blaming the industry for high energy prices. “Oil and gas companies shouldn’t pad their profits at the expense of hardworking Americans,” Biden wrote in a Twitter post highlighting the disconnect between crude oil prices and the price of gasoline, dismissing complexities in the supply chain that cause those prices to come down slower than the cost of...

Did The Beatles rip off Nat King Cole for ‘Yesterday’?The origin story of ‘Yesterday’ is one of the most well-known in music. McCartney woke up with the melody after a dream and ad-libbed the words “scrambled eggs” so that he that it wouldn’t slip his mind. It would seem he was simply fortunate that his breakfast fit the rhyming meter. Owing to the fact it arrived as effortlessly as the posted next day delivery of a drunken order, he was convinced that it came so naturally it must have been lifted from one of his dad’s old jazz records. When...

They feel women , they have a completely feminine aspect and their community recognizes them as such, but not their passport , where the male name is still in bold, and the "M" is still engraved next to the gender entry. Two words that in recent weeks weigh heavily on hundreds of transgender women fleeing the war in Ukraine. According to the martial law in force , male citizens between 18 and 60 are forced to stay in order to serve in the military and defend Ukraine.

The Village of Melrose Park decided that it would be a good idea to issue 62 tickets to an elderly couple for having lawn chairs in their front yard. The Village issued ticket after ticket, imposing fine after fine, to two eighty-year-old residents, Plaintiffs Vincent and Angeline Cozzi. The fines were not small potatoes. Each ticket cost $500, so the Village tagged them with fines totaling about $30,000. And when it was all said and done, the Village slapped them with a lien on their house, for good measure. The tickets faulted the Cozzis for creating a nuisance and for...

We are now at the end of an era of economic and moral decadence in a debt infested world built on false values, fake money and abysmal leadership. All hell will break loose. The consequences will be fatal for the world. There are eras in history which have produced great leaders and thinkers. But sadly, the current era has produced nothing of that kind. The end of an economic cycle produces no great leadership or statesmanship but only incompetent leaders. Looking at the Western world, the only notable statesman in the last few decades in my view is Margaret Thatcher,...

Some vehicles, especially the Porsche Taycan, can achieve far better range figures in certain real-world...

‘The fourth beast [means]—there will be a fourth kingdom upon the earth which will be different from all the kingdoms; it will devour the whole earth, tread it down, and crush it. Daniel 7:23 On Monday, US President Joe Biden addressed the Business Roundtable’s CEO Quarterly Meeting. After several minutes of self-praise accomplished by citing questionable “facts,” the President made a remarkable statement before being hustled away from the podium by his handlers: his administration would be a leader in the “new world order.” This statement was interpreted by one Jerusalem rabbi as a type of euphimism to reduce the...

Archaeological evidence from the ancient city of Çatalhöyük reveals a complex funerary ritual in which human bones were dug up, circulated among the community, painted, and reburied. The coloring on exhumed bones has also been matched to paintings found on building walls.

Çatalhöyük’s inhabitants lived in mudbrick houses, fashioned clothing from trees, wore human teeth as jewelry, and manufactured baskets, ropes, and mats. Residents of the city also used colorful pigments for both decoration and burials, and often...

Wade, including in California where women will be able to abort their unborn child for free. “With this legislation, we’ll help ensure equitable, affordable access to abortion services so that out-of-pocket costs don’t stand in the way of receiving care,” California Governor Gavin Newsom said in a statement.

Netflix’s Don’t Look Up director Adam McKay has used Oscars season to re-invent himself as one of Hollywood’s most vocal climate change activists. He has called climate change the most serious threat facing mankind, demanded the defunding of a natural gas pipeline, and even claimed that anyone who dislikes his movie isn’t serious about global warming. But there’s one inconvenient truth lurking beneath the Vice director’s woke facade: McKay and his wife have owned homes in Los Angeles and Ireland — a 10,000 mile roundtrip that gives the celebrity couple an elephantine carbon footprint.
