The US Supreme Court reportedly voted to END Roe v Wade in a DRAFT OPINION by Justice Samuel Alito according to a report leaked to Politico this evening. The draft opinion was leaked to the press – something that is dangerous and unprecedented. Of course, there are reports that the leaker is a liberal clerk who hopes to change the outcome of the case. More news broke last night. According to the report Chief Justice John Roberts sided with Democrats in the decision. This is not a surprise considering Roberts’s liberal voting record. This also gives Democrats a target. They...

Sen. Ed Markey (D-MA) called for Congress to “expand” the Supreme Court on Monday, as activists chanted “pack the Court!” outside the building after a draft decision leaked that would overturn the Roe v. Wade (1973) decision on abortion. Court-packing refers to the idea of adding seats to the Supreme Court and immediately filling the vacancies with reliably loyal justices. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt threatened to pack the Court in the 1930s; left-wing Democrats revived the idea after the confirmation of Justice Brett Kavanaugh in 2018, which gave the Court a nominal 5-4 conservative majority that has since expanded to...

Published draft opinion shocks officials in Washington, prompts speculation about leaker's motive. ===================================================================== The CIA's "Family Jewels." Edward Snowden's revelations on surveillance and a FISA warrant. Former President Donald Trump's private conversations with world leaders. And now a purported draft Supreme Court opinion on abortion. Two decades of endless and consequential leaks have left behind a trail of institutional betrayal that have rocked Washington, and sometimes the world. Some believe the most recent leak was an effort to sabotage the Supreme Court's final opinion on what may be a landmark abortion case if the documents published Monday night by Politico...

Ukrainian troops will beat their Russian counterparts and the country will "be free" from occupation, Boris Johnson has told Ukraine's parliament - adding that it is a fight of "good versus evil". The UK prime minister, who has become the first world leader to address Ukrainian MPs since Russia invaded in late February, said Ukraine had proven military experts "completely wrong". In a recorded address, he also told the Verkhovna Rada that the "so-called irresistible force of Putin's war machine has broken on the immoveable object of Ukrainian patriotism". The war has exposed Putin's "historic folly" - the "gigantic error...

Sales of Green, Social and Sustainability (GSS) bonds in Europe could total 1.6 trillion euros ($1.68 trillion) by 2026, making up almost half of all new bond issuance in the region, according to a new report released on Tuesday.

It might be the biggest giveaway in American history. resident Joe Biden wants to cancel more than $1 trillion of outstanding student loan debt. Biden has already delayed for more than a year student loan repayment, and under his new rules, most delinquent and deadbeat borrowers would NEVER have to repay. What a deal for the people who never paid a dime back of the tuition money they owe to Uncle Sam. This plan makes suckers out of the millions who have felt honor-bound to pay off their debts. My wife spent years after graduating from college diligently writing checks...

Catalytic converter thieves can get hundreds of dollars at scrap yards Hidden cameras show where and how sales happen Tony KovaleskiMay 02, 2022 The skyrocketing value of the precious metals inside catalytic converters has launched a massive black market industry where thieves are cashing in on a fairly unregulated world of buyers. Records provided by police departments in Denver and Boulder show more than 4,000 catalytic converter thefts in the two cities since the beginning of 2021. In recent months, Denver7 has produced multiple reports exposing the growing concerns around catalytic convert theft. Several viewers responded asking where and how...

It’s been likened to school starting after a long summer’s break. After two years, The White House Correspondents’ Dinner (WHCD) has returned to D.C.The event featured “a diverse group” of attendees to include Trevor Noah headlining after the two-year hiatus as well as Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson’s Red Carpet debut. Oh, the joy. Melinda French Gates, Martha Stewart, Sophia Bush and Drew Barrymore were also in attendance.The event, often dubbed “Nerd Prom” was much anticipated after it’s two-year break with much buzz across the beltway. Side note: Honestly, why they call it the “Nerd Prom” is beyond me. It’s...

Denver man shot at while chasing catalytic converter thieves by: Courtney Fromm Posted: May 2, 2022 DENVER (KDVR) — A man in the University neighborhood of Denver said he did everything he could last Wednesday to try and figure out who stole his neighbor’s catalytic converter. “I wasn’t exactly sure what was going on, the truck was parked next to the van,” Scot Smith, the neighbor who chased the thieves said. Smith said once he realized the people were possibly stealing his neighbor Matt’s catalytic converter, Smith jumped in his car and started to follow the fleeing thieves. “I didn’t...

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp says he is certain one thing won't happen before the Republican gubernatorial primary May 24: an endorsement from former President Donald J. Trump. After Trump called him "a turncoat, a coward, and a complete and total disaster" in front of a crowd of supporters at a rally in Commerce, Georgia, last Saturday, Kemp is probably not wrong. And he said he is fine with that. "I've never said a bad word about President Trump. And I don't plan on doing so. I appreciate what he did for our state," Kemp told me in an interview. Kemp...

I swear to God, democrats would elect Satan if he were a democrat, and he likely is. democrats are simply amoral and without conscience. Nothing is sacred- not even life. They oppose death sentences for murderers but happily kill babies. They claim to be the saviors of democracy, but they tear down statues and rewrite history. They rigged an election. They conspired against a duly elected President. They destroy any tradition that ever so slightly infringes their power to control all. What happened tonight is the single most egregious crime to ever strike the Supreme Court. Justices expect to be...

During an interview over the weekend, Catherine Engelbrecht, the founder and president of True the Vote, claimed Georgia’s governor and secretary of state covered up clear evidence of election fraud, and of mounting a smear campaign against her organization. Engelbrecht told War Room podcaster Steve Bannon on Saturday that she provided solid evidence of ballot trafficking to Governor Brian Kemp and Sec. of State Brad Raffensperger, but rather than act on it, they tried to discredit True the Vote’s work. The vote monitoring organization used both geospatial cell phone data and video surveillance to capture illegal ballot trafficking activity in...

Three University of Oklahoma meteorology students died in a tragic car crash on their return trip from Kansas Friday, where they had successfully intercepted a tornado while on a routine storm chasing outing. According to a report from The New York Times, Nicholas Nair, 20, Gavin Short, 19, and Drake Brooks, 22, had been traveling southbound on Interstate 35 in Tonkawa, Oklahoma, a small town near the Kansas border, when their truck hydroplaned and stalled in the middle of the road before being hit by a truck. The students were pronounced dead on the scene, and the truck driver, who...

The COVID-19 lockdown in Shanghai has fuelled an outpouring of anger on social media on a scale not seen since 2020 after the virus first began to spread. April was, by all accounts, a cruel month for the residents of Shanghai. As an Omicron-induced outbreak of COVID-19 swept across China’s biggest city, millions of people were confined to their homes. In an eerie echo of the lockdown imposed on the central city of Wuhan in 2020 after the virus first emerged, desperate pleas for help went unheard or were snuffed out as authorities committed themselves to stamp out the virus...

BEFORE YORKTOWN, Thursday, May 1. On Tuesday, a steamboat was seen, with a load of rebel tropes, at Yorktown. They probably came from West Point, thirty miles above, indicating that the enemy are being reinforced, instead of preparing to evacuate. Battery No. 1, at the mouth of Wormley's Creek and commanding the rebel water batteries at Yorktown and Gloucester, opened yesterday afternoon on the enemy's shipping, at a range of about two miles. The first shot, which was followed in rapid succession by others, caused the enemy's vessels to "beat a hasty retreat out of range. No damage was supposed...
