Democrats once hailed Build Back Better as the policy that could help them win the midterms. But as even the possibility of a scaled-back version of resident Biden’s signature legislation fizzles in the 50-50 Senate, some are wondering if the president will have anything comparable to campaign on as the election season inches closer. The White House considers the $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure law passed last fall as a major legislative accomplishment. They also see Biden’s $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief bill as a win. And they say the fight over some version of Build Back Better isn’t over. But some...

The film 2000 Mules, which documents allegations of fraud during the 2020 elections, is returning to theaters Friday. Around 400 theaters across the nation will perform a normal release with typical ticket sales and multiple showings each day beginning May 20. "With the success of the movie, everyone talking about the movie, a lot of independent theaters began to call us, ‘Hey, why didn't we have this movie in the theater?'" Dinesh D'Souza, conservative political commentator and 2000 Mules creator, said. "And we were like, ‘You know what? This is fantastic.' A lot of our people love to see the...

Anaheim Mayor Harry Sidhu has resigned. The announcement comes just days after it was revealed that Sidhu is one of the subjects of an FBI corruption probe. Last week, California Attorney General Xavier Becerra asked an Orange County judge to put a hold on a deal to sell Angel Stadium, citing federal documents alleging that Sidhu was trying to leverage the deal to secure campaign contributions from the Angels. The city of Anaheim had planned to sell the stadium to Los Angeles Angels team own Arte Moreno's company and would use money from the sale to fund affordable housing throughout...

Wouldn't believe it if I didn't see it on video.

South Carolina congressional candidate Katie Arrington received an important boost on Monday when one of her Republican primary challengers instantly endorsed her at the most recent debate. Upon giving her opening statement at the start of the South Carolina’s First Congressional District debate, candidate Lynz Piper-Loomis instantly endorsed Arrington, removed her microphone, and then walked off stage as the audience applauded. "The way I would earn the votes in this district is by endorsing Katie Arrington for South Carolina, District One, for Congress,” Lynz Piper-Loomis said. Both Arrington and Piper-Loomis have been aiming to oust Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC), who...

A man who underwent the world's first double arm and shoulder transplant 16 months ago has made a miraculous recovery and is now able to work out at the gym and hug his grandchildren. Felix Gretarsson, 49, from Lyon, France was forced to have his arms amputated after he was electrocuted at work in 1998 in Kópavogur, Iceland. After decades without them, the Icelandic native managed to convince a surgeon to perform a double arm and shoulder transplant in a gruelling 15 hour surgery in January 2021. The grandfather has shocked surgeons with his incredible progress, and is now able...

The most significant political event in the last 18 months happened last week. No, it wasn’t the Pennsylvania primary, and it certainly didn’t have anything to do with the sham Jan. 6 committee. (Patrick Pleul/Pool via AP, File)It was the announcement by Elon Musk that he’s as mad as hell, and he’s not going to take this anymore. OK, he didn’t use those exact words from the 1976 movie “Network,” but he might well have been channeling the character Howard Beale when he announced to the world that he was voting Republican this year. News anchor Beale was characterized as...

"Now, however, because of our leaders rhetoric and very poor choice of words, it is perhaps more likely to happen than not. Russia/Ukraine would NEVER have happened under a TRUMP Administration. Now there are fewer cards to play, but still very playable. China up next?"

“We simply attempt to be fearful when others are greedy and to be greedy only when others are fearful.”The above quote comes straight from Warren Buffett’s 1986 annual letter to Berkshire Hathaway shareholders. It’s one of his most timeless quotes… and one of the most important for investors in the current market.Everyone is worried about inflation, rising interest rates, and a likely recession… The data shows the crowd is already panicking—and selling stocks in a big way. You might be scared and tempted to sell, too.But if Warren Buffett is right… that means now is actually a great time to...

All part of our master plan.Step one: Start a monkeypox outbreak Step two: ?????? Step three: World dominationSome Chinese have spent the past two years sky high on copium, struggling to deal with their government’s negligence in unleashing a plague upon the world by looking abroad for villains instead. Naturally they settled on the United States, with Fort Detrick reportedly having become a “household name” in China thanks to propaganda alleging that the coronavirus was secretly developed at that base. Forced to choose between believing that their own country, which saw SARS 1.0 arise in the wild, might also be...

The Dinesh D’Souza documentary, 2000 Mules offered insight into how the 2020 Election could have been hijacked. It also introduced many to location and data tracking, and how this could be used for more conservative causes: like being able to track a woman who may be seeking an abortion.VICE is aghast that a capitalist company Safegraph would dare sell its data for profit and marketing purposes, instead of ideology. The leftist new media arm quickly sounded the alarm:How data collecting intersects with abortion rights, or the lack thereof, is likely to gather more attention in the wake of the draft....

The United States will participate in Israel’s largescale drill simulating a strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities as part of the broader Chariots of Fire exercise later this month, Channel 13 reported on Tuesday evening. According to the unsourced report, the US Air Force will serve as a complementary force, with refueling planes drilling with Israeli fighter jets as they simulate entering Iranian territory and carrying out repeated strikes. The unprecedented Israel- US aerial collaboration in a drill simulating a strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities is seen as a potential message to Iran amid long-stalled negotiations in Vienna over a return...

The number of sailors who deserted the Navy more than doubled from 2019 to 2021, while desertions in other military branches dropped or stayed flat, pointing to a potential Navy-wide mental health crisis amid a spate of recent suicides, according to experts and federal statistics obtained by NBC News.
