A federal court has struck down the national mask mandate for airline flights and other forms of public transportation. Mask addicts around the country are now losing their collective minds. United Airlines has put out an official statement that clarified that it will no longer be enforcing masks on airline travel. “Effective immediately, masks are no longer required at United on domestic flights, select international flights (dependent upon the arrival country’s mask requirements) or at U.S. airports,” UA said in a statement. Alaska Airlines has also reportedly lifted its mask mandate. BREAKING: Face masks are officially optional in airports and...

Critical Race Theory, or CRT, apparently originated in law schools as a tool for looking at laws through a racial lens. Now, as long as it’s not the only lens being used, I don’t have a problem with it. After all, there are laws that were created for racist reasons (see also: gun control). The problem with CRT is that it’s often the only lens some people want to use and they’re using it everywhere. Robin DiAngelo has made serious bank thanks to CRT. And over at the Foundation for Economic Education, they opted to take a look at some...

Special Counsel John Durham continues to drop bombshells in filings in the prosecution of former Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann. Just last week, Durham defeated an effort by Sussmann to dismiss the charges. He is now moving to give immunity to a key witness while revealing that the claims made by the Clinton campaign were viewed by the CIA as “not technically plausible” and “user created.” He also revealed that at least five of the former Clinton campaign contractors/researchers have invoked the Fifth Amendment and refused to cooperate in fear that they might incriminate themselves in criminal conduct. Finally, Durham...

Source: Townhall Media/Julio RosasThe Hunter Biden coverup continues to unravel and, as it does, questions about the president's involvement become harder to dodge. Hunter's nefarious dealings with what at the time was China's largest energy company, CEFC, are well-documented, as are his questionable activities in Russia and Ukraine. The concept is known as influence peddling, a smarmy practice refined to an art form in "the swamp." Hunter Biden's "take" from Russia while his father was vice president was reportedly at least $3.5 million, for which he did nothing but be Joe Biden's son. Now, Joe Biden is president of the...

Former Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Mark Morgan is accusing President Joe Biden of "intentionally" creating a border crisis, but said the administration was unable to properly execute the open borders strategy. Morgan also told the "John Solomon Reports" podcast on Monday that his former agents feel "demoralized" while the "borders are wide open" and "every aspect of our public health, safety, national security is being jeopardized." After Biden ends Title 42, the Trump-era migration mitigation measure, his administration is expecting as many as 18,000 illegal migrants to come to the southern border every day. Currently, between 7,000 and 8,000...

Neil W. McCabe, the national political editor of The Star News Network, interviewed veteran Washington journalist John Solomon, who is now the founder and editor-in-chief of Just the News about his coverage of the Hunter Biden laptop. Solomon said that more than 50 senior national security Democrats confirmed for him that the laptop was legitimate when they released their Oct. 19, 2020 letter ascribing the laptop and its release to a Russian information operation. Although mainstream media reporters and outlets quoted the letter as saying that the laptop was part of a disinformation campaign, the actual wording of “information campaign”...

IPray For The Peace of JerusalemRevelation 99 The fifth angel sounded his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen from the sky to the earth. The star was given the key to the shaft of the Abyss. 2 When he opened the Abyss, smoke rose from it like the smoke from a gigantic furnace. The sun and sky were darkened by the smoke from the Abyss. 3 And out of the smoke locusts came down on the earth and were given power like that of scorpions of the earth. 4 They were told not to harm the grass...

Washington Post columnist Max Boot freaked out over the world’s richest man potentially buying Twitter. The reason? A buy out might hurt his dream to increase censorship on the platform.

The United States steamer McClellan, J.W. BOOTH, coming from Port Royal April l4, at 4 P.M., arrived yesterday. Fort Pulaski is now in possession of the United States forces. The Stars and Bars have been supplanted by the Stars and Stripes. The Seventh Connecticut Volunteers occupy the quarters so lately occupied by the First Georgia Volunteers. On the morning of the 10th the preparations for the bombardment of the fort under Brig.-Gen. GILMORE, were completed, and a communication under flag of truce was forwarded to Col. OLMSTEAD, the Commander of Pulaski, demanding the unconditional surrender of the fort. To this...

Shark Tank star Kevin O’Leary smacked the censor czars at Twitter for their abysmal performance, defended Elon Musk’s bid for owning the platform and stood up for free speech — all in under five minutes.

In an era of rising geopolitical tensions, it is folly to let Wall Street determine the nation’s energy policy. Since Russia attacked Ukraine two months ago, Western governments have been learning the hard way about the critical importance of energy to their national security. Germany’s 20-year, trillion-dollar “Energiewende” (Energy Transformation) has made its economy totally dependent on supplies of Russian natural gas and paralyzed its response to Russian aggression. French president Emmanuel Macron faces a tougher re-election fight this month thanks to soaring energy prices and failure to replace the nation’s aging fleet of nuclear power stations. The Biden administration...

ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) – New York Attorney General Letitia James issued an advisory Monday to landlords, reminding them that they cannot raise rents if they accepted or plan to accept money from the state’s Emergency Rental Assistance Program (ERAP). Landlords who accept payments from the program, which was recently expanded in the state’s budget, are prohibited from raising rents for a year after they receive funds. Attorney General James is ready to take action to protect tenants if landlords fail to abide by these rules.

"In this episode, renowned veteran investigative journalist William Jasper discusses the possibility that Ukrainian neo-Nazis massacred their own people. He also dispels any notion of Vladimir Putin being a force for good by laying out the history of treachery by the former KGB agent-turned-Russian leader. He talks about how U.S. sanctions on Russia have hurt the U.S. more than Russia, and he explains how media propaganda of the Ukraine-Russia war is intended to draw the world into a larger global conflict in which the only winners will be the globalists."

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar, except when it's a "premium cigar." But what does "premium" mean, and do premium cigars affect people's health differently than other cigars, or cigarettes?These are just a few of the questions that the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine tried to tackle in its report on "Health Effects and Patterns of Use of Premium Cigars." However, the 14-member committee that issued the report ran into some difficulties, one of which was determining what a "premium" cigar was."One of the challenges that we faced was that there was no single consistent definition of...

It is hard to imagine a fouler scheme to silence someone who has done nothing more than expose the Democrats' base to the world. Libs of Tik Tok is one of the most important sites on the internet. Day after day, her account showcases the Democrat base in its own words — and it never reflects well on the party. That's undoubtedly why the WaPo's Taylor Lorenz, who was on the news a few weeks ago weeping about the pain of being exposed on the internet, is set to dox the woman behind Libs of Tik Tok, putting her in...

On the eve of Passover, on Good Friday, The New York Times published an opinion piece on God, the Bible and Passover. This would not be noteworthy except for the fact that the piece mocked all three. The two titles of the piece (one in the print edition and one for the Times' digital edition) will give you a good idea of the tenor of the piece: "Let's pass over God" and "In this time of war, I propose we give up God." The column was written by Shalom Auslander, a Jew who is bitter over his ultra-Orthodox upbringing in...

In the various American cities and towns nearing school board elections, it is easy to discern the urgency of the battles at hand. As parents and other citizens rally against the various ideological toxins that seek to hijack education, the forces who have mixed that dangerous brew are on high alert. You could see it when the Attorney General of the United States maligned caring parents as domestic terrorists. Now you can see it as the left and its operatives in the education establishment gear up to make sure school boards are not infiltrated by successful candidacies looking to derail...

A day doesn't go by without right-leaning websites, newspapers, and commentators becoming giddy about taking back Congress in the midterms. In their view, it's just a question of how big the Red Wave will be. They cite increased Republican registrations in purple or blue cities and states. They hype how many traditional Democrat constituencies such as Hispanics and Blacks are switching to Republican. But what is the purpose of taking back Congress if we have most of the same spineless leadership as before? In 2017–2018, President Trump was in the White House, and we had both houses of Congress. Shouldn't...
