Wednesday Governor Gavin Newsom visited a clinic in Bakersfield to receive his second dose of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine booster shot. He is also encouraging eligible Californians to keep their immunity strong. As of Wednesday, The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says over 204,000 Californias have received their COVID-19 booster shot. But as COVID-19 cases are rising within Kern County and throughout the state, Governor Newsom and Health and Human Services Secretary Dr. Mark Ghaly are reminding the community about the effective tool to fight the spread of the virus. “They work. They’re effective. They save lives. They mitigate...

Vladimir Lenin allegedly said, "Give me four years to teach the children, and the seed I have sown shall never be uprooted." America's leftists have taken those words to heart and, since the 1930s, have assiduously winnowed their way into America's education system. The COVID lockdown, for all its destruction, may have ended up performing a huge service by exposing to parents just how bad the leftist toxin has grown in the last ten to fifteen years. The sea change in parental attitudes toward education is shown in the fact that, across America, public school enrollment is collapsing. In the...

The House select committee investigating the Capitol attack revealed on Thursday that it had evidence to suggest certain “reconnaissance tours” took place in the days before 6 January, potentially providing some rioters with a layout of the complex. The panel said in a letter requesting cooperation from Georgia Republican congressman Barry Loudermilk that he gave a tour the day before the Capitol attack. The startling disclosure resurrects a contentious line of inquiry that connects House Republicans to the insurrection. “Based on our review of evidence in the select committee’s possession, we believe you have information regarding a tour you led...

The MSM propaganda is collapsing… Ukrainian soldiers refuse to fight in Severodonetsk Ukrainian soldiers refuse to fight in Severodonetsk. Picture via Youtube video And it seems that the surrender of the Asov soldiers in Mariupol has driven down the moral of the Ukrainian troops currently fighting against Russians in other battles, especially in the Dombass… Already on May 16th, the Ukrainian 1st battalion of 1st company of 115th Brigade stated that they weren’t able to carry out the orders of their leaders due to poor resources, lack of fire support and lack of weapons. Yesterday, Ukrainian 3rd Battalion of the...

The monster 1,160 point stock drop on the Dow Jones Industrial Average Wednesday, the highest drop since the advent of the pandemic in 2020 was kind of a ... nothingburger for the Biden White House. According to the Washington Examiner: The White House downplayed Wednesday’s drop in the stock market and defended the Federal Reserve’s independence after interest rate hikes to curb high inflation. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 1,160 points in the worst day of trading since June 2020 as investors expect further rate increases despite assurances from Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell. Many economists think the Fed...

Chilling footage has emerged of the moment Norway's notorious bow and arrow killer began his rampage in a supermarket in the town of Kongsberg last year. Espen Andersen Bråthen, 38, went on trial yesterday for the murder of five people and attempted murder of 11 more on October 13, 2021. The Muslim convert, who was listed by Norwegian security services as a person of concern as early as 2015, hacked his victims to death with a hunting knife after having unleashed a torrent of arrows at innocent bystanders in a Co-Op Extra supermarket. CCTV footage, released by police as Bråthen's...

The Filipino purple yam has become a popular dessert flavour in Toronto, but there’s more to the tuber than just its colour.Fibrous with a slight crunch like shaved carrot. A bit woody with a mild sweet potato flavour, but less sweet. That’s what came to mind when I tasted raw ube for the first time. Well, the grated frozen stuff anyway, as I was unable to find ube in its tuber form in Toronto’s grocers. Ube, the purple yam synonymous with Filipino sweets, is becoming a staple flavour in the city’s dessert scene. This is thanks to the influx of...

About 20 Russian Navy vessels, including submarines, are in the Black Sea operational zone, the British defense ministry has said. Bryan Clark, a naval expert at the Hudson Institute, said 12 to 24 anti-ship missiles like the Harpoon with ranges over 100 km would be enough to threaten Russian ships and could convince Moscow to lift the blockade. “If Putin persists, Ukraine could take out the largest Russian ships, since they have nowhere to hide in the Black Sea,” Clark said.

Elon Musk's SpaceX allegedly paid $250,000 to one of the company's corporate flight attendants, who accused the tech mogul of exposing himself to her and propositioning her for sex, according to a new report. Musk, 50, was also accused of rubbing her leg and offering gifts in exchange for an erotic massage, Business Insider reported Thursday. The 2016 incident is alleged in papers signed by a friend of the flight attendant who handled a flight to London. Other records and correspondence were also turned over to Insider by the friend. ... He added that there is 'a lot more to...

Joe Biden is suddenly serious. He's taken control. Instead of sending a spokeswoman to laugh off a question about who was "running point" on the baby formula crisis, or telling moms with hungry infants to ask their doctors for free samples, if not call their local community organizer, he's invoked the Defense Production Act to empower the federal government to take control of the baby formula shortages that have come as 50% of baby formula has disappeared from store shelves. That'll fix 'er. Just bring in old Joe Biden, and worry not. Biden invoked the Defense Production Act to ensure...

The House select committee investigating last year’s Capitol riot has asked Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-Ga.) to provide more information about a tour that he gave one day prior to the violence. In a letter to Loudermilk, committee chair Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) and vice chair Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) claimed that a review of security footage “directly contradicts” Republican claims that there were “no tours” or “large groups” of people at the Capitol in the days before Jan. 6, 2021.

Sharks devoured whale off Big Pine KeyThis month proved to be deadly for two endangered sperm whales that beached themselves in the water of the Florida Keys last week. A newborn calf became separated from its mother and couldn’t survive on its own. But the adult male that was found days later apparently was killed by something a lot more insidious, News 6 partner WPLG reported. What was once a 47-foot majestic sperm whale was later devoured by hungry sharks off Big Pine Key. “I was amazed just seeing the sharks there,” said Capt. Jack Carlson, owner of Two Conchs...

North Carolina Rep. Madison Cawthorn on Thursday called for “Dark MAGA” to topple “the Uni-party” and shake up “gentile politics” in his first Instagram post since losing his Republican primary election on Tuesday. The 26-year-old — who angered fellow House Republicans by suggesting that they do cocaine and invited him to orgies in DC — lost his primary bid to state Sen. Chuck Edwards, despite having former President Donald Trump’s endorsement.

Continued oil and gas exports as well as a propped-up ruble, have allowed Moscow to weather Western sanctions. JPM has backtracked on its earlier forecasts of a 35% contraction in Russian GDP in the second quarter. The lion's share of Russian raw materials is traded via Switzerland and its nearly 1,000 commodity firms.

Florida woman is accused of throwing a rubber snake at a deputy, one of several charges she now faces after a bizarre chase. “Yeah. I think one of the takeaways from this whole thing is that there’s nothing routine about a routine traffic stop,” Martin County Sheriff William Snyder said. Snyder said that routine traffic stop happened at about 10:15 a.m. Wednesday. A deputy on a motorcycle tried to pull over a pickup truck when another pickup truck hit the gas hard. So, the deputy chased that truck.

The Biden administration on Thursday announced the first flights will take place in the coming days to deliver infant formula from Europe to the United States as part of a new government initiative to address the domestic formula shortage. The Pentagon is working to get planes in place to fly the equivalent of 1.5 million bottles of formula from Zurich, Switzerland, to Plainfield, Ind., to be distributed to areas of need. The flights are part of “Operation Fly Formula,” an initiative launched this week as one of several steps the White House is taking to increase formula supply.

Frustrated customers, devastated restaurants, and more: What you need to know about this week’s food delivery catastropheThe offer was simple: Using the code “FREELUNCH,” Grubhub customers in the New York metropolitan area could take $15 off orders placed on Tuesday between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. (They were still required to pay taxes, fees, and optional tips.) Naturally, a discounted lunch during a period of nationwide inflation and rising food costs was an enticing prospect; as BuzzFeed reported, order volume peaked at 6,000 per minute during those three hours. But almost immediately, it turned into a nightmare: All over Twitter...

Just when I thought the Biden administration was beyond shame, it (at least temporarily) pulled the plug on the Disinformation Governance Board, causing the buffoonish Nina Jankowicz to resign. I can't recall a speedier and more embarrassing belly flop of a government initiative than the announcement of this transparently Orwellian state organ, headed by a cringeworthy exhibitionist besotted with her own musical talent and purported wisdom. The astonishing lack of forethought in choosing Jankowicz as the arbiter of truth, when she is on the record affirming that Hunter Biden's laptop was Russian disinformation (even the Washington Post and New York...
