The Biden administration is reportedly preparing to release more information about Ray Epps, a man who has been accused of being “a fed” during the January 6, 2021, riot that broke out at the U.S. Capitol. “Assistant U.S. Attorney Karen Rochlin said in court on Tuesday that she intended to provide a ‘disclosure’ about Epps, a former Oath Keeper, in response to requests by Jan. 6 defendants accused of leading the breach of police lines — including Ryan Samsel, who briefly huddled with Epps before charging the barricades,” Politico reported. “Epps, who was seen on video on Jan. 5, 2021,...

It is hard to read or listen to an article on the Ukrainian invasion without it beginning with the lines: “The world as we knew it is over.” Tanks rolling through the streets of a European-style city, nuclear saber-rattling, as well as disruptions of everything from energy to wheat, make the headline plausible. The recent gathering in Europe of western NATO allies was epoch-making. Not to take the focus off the horror of the Ukrainian struggle for survival or turn away from the slaughter of civilians and the plight of the refugees, however, it might be useful to understand how...

The 88-year-old, in a recent interview, asked a New York Times reporter, seemingly insinuating that today's culture prefers more gender-neutral terms. “What’s wrong with mother? What’s wrong with woman? Girl? I don’t like having that word taken away.” SNIP “Sadly, I think that now young men are suffering from being labeled toxically masculine,” she explained, “because of this rise of anti-maleness.” The actress was also candid about allegedly being sexually assaulted by powerful Hollywood executives in the past — all things that “happened to girls all the time” in those days.

Allegations of Pentagon-funded biolaboratories in Ukraine have long been dismissed by Washington as Russian disinformation. But as more information comes to light including documents revealing Pentagons plan to use Ukraine biolabs to attack Russia, it becomes increasingly complicated to keep denying the charges.Moscow alleged on Wednesday that records and other proof from US-funded labs in Ukraine indicate Kiev planned to employ drones to deliver pathogens against the Donbass as well as Russia itself.The Defense Ministry reportedly claims to have discovered particular US personnel engaged in bioweapons development in the East European country. There was no tangible proof to substantiate the...

The Biden administration announced a slate of new actions on Thursday to support transgender and LGBTQI+ Americans in the face of what the White House called 'dangerous anti-transgender legislative attacks' in the president's latest battle with Republican-led states. 'The evidence is clear that these types of bills stigmatize and worsen the well-being and mental health of transgender kids, and they put loving and supportive families across the country at risk of discrimination and harassment,' the White House said in a fact sheet. New measures include an effort by the Homeland Security Department to make airport screenings more gender-neutral and a...

Rush Limbaugh prediction may come truepic.twitter.com/PbYTXrN8cf — Citizen Free Press (@CitizenFreePres) March 31, 2022 Presented without comment.

As the Asian power's domestic film market mostly thrives, the disappointing box office for Warner Bros.' 'The Batman' and other recent releases suggests a continuing decline in audience enthusiasm for U.S. tentpoles: "China seems to have turned its back on Hollywood."When news spread in February that Warner Bros.’ The Batman had been granted an official release date in China of March 18, just two weeks after its North American debut, it was cause for considerable relief among executives engaged in the international distribution business. No Hollywood superhero movie had made it to China in more than two years, thanks to...

Rep. Madison Cawthorn has not pulled back his claims about witnessing cocaine, orgies, and 'perversion' in Washington DC, according to longtime Donald Trump advisor Roger Stone. Stone – who got his own first-hand look at the city's club underworld in the 1990s – says he got the information from Cawthorn himself. He says the 26-year old North Carolina lawmaker did not walk back his extraordinary claims after being called on the carpet by House Minority Leader Rep. Kevin McCarthy. “Congressman Madison Cawthorn just told me (he) has NOT retracted his claims about drug fueled orgies among DC elites,” Stone posted...

House Democrats are set to pass legislation this week to legalize marijuana at the federal level. The bill, authored by House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.) and titled the Marijuana Opportunity Reinvestment and Expungement Act, would remove cannabis from the list of federal controlled substances and eliminate criminal penalties associated with the drug. It would also impose a federal tax on marijuana sales to fund programs to help communities negatively impacted by the war on drugs. The bill is set to be taken up by the House Rules Committee on Wednesday and get a vote on the floor by...

Vladimir Putin today threatened to turn off Europe's gas supplies from tomorrow if countries refuse to pay in roubles. The Russian President, announcing a decree in televised remarks, said foreign buyers would have to 'open rouble accounts in Russian banks' which can be used to pay for 'gas delivered starting from tomorrow'. 'If such payments are not made, we will consider this a default on the part of buyers, with all the ensuing consequences. Nobody sells us anything for free, and we are not going to do charity either - that is, existing contracts will be stopped,' he said The...

Once again, Sister Babe's subscription to The Washington Compost offered me some new insight into the insane Leftist mind, with this gem in the Sunday paper regarding confirming a Supreme Court Justice who happens to stand firmly with the new Leftist push to normalize child rape and is illiterate on basic biology. The Post's Theodore R. Johnson (TJ) found a bizarre new angle to support this radical Marxist - that the notion of Patriotism is being fought over by The Radical Left and us Normals. This seems odd, as for years The Radical Left that has seized control of The...

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki has hit out at "extreme and harmful" bills signed into law in Arizona and Oklahoma that target transgender rights and abortion. "Today, four extreme and harmful bills were signed into law in Oklahoma and Arizona, three targeting transgender youth (2 AZ, 1 OK) and one reproductive health care (AZ)," Psaki said in a tweet on Wednesday. "These laws are unacceptable and we won't stop fighting for justice and equality."..... "While the problems transgender and nonbinary youth cause communities are hypothetical, the harms these laws will cause them are very real," said Sam Ames, director...

Next disease could be far more deadly than COVID-19 Gordon Chang spoke to Fox News about China’s initiative to collect foreigners' DNA and how they plan on using it. The Peoples Republic of China (PRC) has been collecting people’s DNA for years, and according to Gordon Chang, the country’s sinister motivations should be of great concern to the United States. With over 80 million health profiles, China has the largest DNA database in the world, and growing. In an interview with Fox News, Chang warned that China plans to use this information to create bioweapons designed to target specific ethnic...

All the focus is on YOU wearing a mask. But this is a distraction. The big violation of federal law is by the FAA and the airlines in allowing vaccinated pilots to operate the plane.Steve KirschMar 29 I hate all the nagging whenever I fly that I have to wear a mask. This is nonsensical because the randomized trials all show that masks make no difference (unless you are wearing a P100 respirator or better).This seems to be a distraction though, because the serious violation is being done by the FAA and airlines themselves in allowing pilots who have been...

The Florida Legislature has voted across party lines to require school kids to sit through a lecture each year on what it’s calling “Victims of Communism Day.” “I think everyone in this room understands that communism is an evil and insidious form of government, akin to fascism, akin to Nazism, and deserves no safe haven in the state of Florida,” Rep. Evan Jenne said during debate on the House floor in late February. He represents part of Broward County. HB 395, sponsored by Rep. David Borrero and Rep. Alex Rizo, requires the Florida governor to proclaim Nov. 7 as “Victims...

As COVID-19 resurges across China and millions are under lockdown, Yao Yuan worries for her elderly parents, who are still unvaccinated. Ms Yao — who lives in China's "Silicon Valley", Shenzhen — said her parents were deterred by "fake news" on social media, which falsely claimed the vaccines were not effective nor safe, and could spread other serious diseases. "They sent me the WeChat article. Obviously, it is fake news. [It has] no writer, no evidence, no reference," she said. Because her parents live in Weifang, a city in northern China, without the vaccine's protection, Ms Yao is concerned about...

the allegations Cawthorn had made during a podcast interview last week were "exaggerated," [cut] "In the interview, he claims he watched people do cocaine. Then when he comes in he tells me — he says he thinks he saw maybe a staffer in a parking garage from 100 yards away," McCarthy told reporters.

Dear Government, Seriously and respectfully, what do you want us to do so you will change your fiscal policies and quit destroying our lives? Seriously, what do you want? We need you to quit spending so much money, re-open pipelines, allowing drilling for oil so we can have reasonably-priced fuel and change regulations to allow us to produce/acquire food at a reasonable price. Very seriously, what do you want from us? You are beginning to make it impossible to live. What do you expect us to do when that time comes when we begin to go bankrupt? I am totally...
