It is amazing to watch Democrats in complete and utter denial that they are going to lose the House, and likely the Senate, in the upcoming midterm election. It appears that some have convinced themselves that they still have a chance to save their majority this fall if they just double down on Wokeness. It is amazing and fun to watch. One thing that Democrats, and Republicans for that matter, can’t avoid is history. The history of midterms dictates that the party in power loses seats in the first midterm election of a new president. The American Presidency Project compiled...

Batman battles numerous supervillians, but none is more clever than the Riddler, the best criminal mastermind in Gotham City. The Riddler has no superhuman powers, but he excels at creating elaborate riddles, puzzles, and traps that constantly fool and evade Batman and the police.Now in the real-world state of Georgia, dear FReepers, there's a taxpayer fraud scam so ingenious and intricately woven that it's likely the work of a gang of Riddlers. Indeed, the schemers have spun their crime to the public as a great commercial success — which, of course, has only fueled the fraud's growth. The fraud...

@julie_kelly2 Today begins the 4th trial of a J6 defendant. Jury selection starts this morning. Thomas Webster is a NYPD cop who got into an altercation with a DC cop that day. Webster wants to argue he was acting in self defense against excessive force. Unfortunately, Webster's judge is Amit Mehta, who ruled the jury cannot hear from a woman who was knocked over by same cop and what prompted Webster's confrontation. In FBI interview, Webster said he saw this cop assaulting people for about 10 minutes before he intervened:

A stunning move by America's third-largest state against free speech is deeply tied to the far right's crusade to destroy U.S. education.

The world’s richest man is set to complete his hostile takeover of Twitter for $43 billion, according to news reports. Reuters released an exclusive saying that Twitter is “nearing a deal to sell” itself to Tesla CEO Elon Musk for “$54.20 per share in cash.” That was the original price Musk offered when he launched his bid to own the company.

He is a third-year law student at Regent University School of Law.Federal Judge Kathryn Mizelle did what a federal judge is supposed to do—she reined in the CDC when it went too far. She struck down the mask mandate for mass transit. Most travelers rejoiced and said goodbye to masks, perhaps for good. But not everyone was happy. The ruling sent COVID doomsdayers into panic mode. There was a flurry of claims that Mizelle made an improper decision because TheScience™ is not for the courts – or so they say. Doctor “TheScience™” Anthony...

November is looming on the horizon. There are predictions of major gains by Republicans. But there are wild cards that no one can predict their impact—The war in Ukraine, the Hunter Biden investigation and potential litigation, new COVID variants and the resulting mask “wars,” “transgender” issues, ensuring a “fair election,” along with the Durham investigation that can impact both Hillary Clinton and others. The mainstream media and Democrats want these stories to fade into the rearview mirror, but Republicans will work to keep them front and center when they work to their advantage. But what issues will drive the electorate...

There are many people who have never gotten COVID-19, despite repeated exposure. At the other extreme, there are lots who’ve gotten sick from the coronavirus more than once, despite being vaccinated and even boosted. Do we know why?

Lexis Figuereo was charged with disorderly conduct stemming from a July 14, 2021 protest in Saratoga Springs during which he allegedly blocked traffic. Figuereo has maintained that the charge is an attempt to silence his activism. In a letter addressed to Saratoga Springs City Court Judge Francine Vero, Heggen said the disorderly conduct charge “is supported by considerable video, photographic and eyewitness evidence,” but said her office would not pursue the case after the court dismissed the same charge against activist and Schenectady school board member Jamaica Miles earlier this year. “This court recently dismissed the case against another participant...

Last week’s violent stock selloff has resumed as a new week begins, with Asian and European markets tumbling, and US futures trading at session lows, but nowhere is the panic selling worse than in China, where the stocks, commodities and the yuan all tumbled. The CSI 300 equity benchmark slumped 4.9%, its biggest drop since Feb 2020, to the lowest level since May 2020 and wiping out gains from a March pledge by officials to support the economy as fears that the Covid breakout in Shanghai is spreading to Beijing, sparking new concerns about China’ economic and earnings growth outlook....
