Seattle principal stonewalled police after man terrorized schoolA man suspected of being high on meth allegedly jumped over the fence at a Seattle elementary school, entered a portable classroom, and attempted to steal students’ backpacks. It prompted a school lockdown. But when police arrived, the school principal would not cooperate. It likely played a role in the suspect then attempting to hijack a delivery van moments later. The suspect is 20-year-old Liban Harasam and, according to police, is a High Utilizer — the designation for prolific offenders that the Seattle City Attorney will now prioritize after arrest.

There is a joke currently making its way through the internet. It goes something like this: Elon Musk has offered to buy the FBI for $100 million. No word on whether Hillary Clinton will sell. You laugh, but not too hard, because it has more than a little ring of truth to it. The FBI has been behaving as though it was an arm of not only the DNC, but also the Hillary Clinton personal protection agency, and so has the CIA. The Jan 6 hearings will be held in all their glory in prime-time television beginning Thursday. This is...

VIDEOThe Democrats and the media are sure to hype the upcoming January 6 Committee televised public hearings as significant as the Watergate hearings. However, what will be most interesting about the Kangaroo Court hearings will be the questions they don't ask. At the top of the questions the January 6 Committee WON'T be asking is why the cell phone pings of everybody in or around the Capitol Buildings that day were tracked with the ONE exception of the guy who planted pipe bombs at the RNC and the DNC the night before. We know he was using his cell phone...

Here is my proposed gun control compromise following the latest attack on children that millions of us did not commit. Ready? You gun fascists can kiss my Schumer and we keep our guns. In fact, let's also repeal the National Firearms Act and impose national constitutional carry. I think this compromise fairly balances our respective legitimate interests regarding guns. Our legitimate interest is maintaining the capacity to deter and defeat tyrants and criminals. Your legitimate interest in limiting our ability to do so is non-existent. There are several Republicans who are apparently eager to come to a compromise on guns...

Do you see what is coming our way? Abbott can stop it.. He hasn't. Republicans could. They haven't. This is my country.. I am livid at what is being done.. They in Washington hate America.

The man said his wife would buy packets of Maggi noodles, a brand of instant noodles, and serve them to him for breakfast, lunch, and dinner throughout their marriage... Eventually, the couple divorced on mutual consent, the judge said.

Guns Are Not the Problem It’s the culture, stupid. Gun violence is the penalty for our failure to uphold a moral, functioning society."Dying societies accumulate laws like dying men accumulate remedies."— Nicolás Gómez DávilaIn the wake of recent mass shootings in New York, Texas, and Oklahoma, Democrats are once again sending Americans up a blind alley. Their “solution” is to punish millions of law-abiding gun owners for the crimes of a few evil maniacs. Undeniably, there is a certain appeal to this response. Gun control is a facile “fix” to a complex problem. Americans have owned guns since the founding,...

TWTR, -3.91% sank 5.0% in premarket trading Monday, after Elon Musk disclosed that he reiterated his request for information has he evaluates the number of spam and fake accounts on the social media company's platform. In a letter to Twitter via Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, Musk, the Tesla Inc. TSLA, 1.82% chief executive who has agreed to buy Twitter for $54.20 a share, said the refusal to provide the information is a "clear material breach" of Twitter's obligations under the merger deal, and Musk therefore reserves the right to terminate the deal if...

A crewless autonomous boat attempting to take the route of the Mayflower's 1620 sea voyage has finally arrived at the shores of North America, but on the coast of Canada instead of Massachusetts, where the original boat landed. The robotic boat reached Halifax, Nova Scotia, on Sunday following a ride across the Atlantic Ocean from England that lasted more than five weeks, according to IBM, which built the artificial intelligence captain that makes all the ship’s decision. The Mayflower Autonomous Ship did not have a captain, navigator or any other people aboard. The ship's first attempt to cross the Atlantic...

The Trump endorsement stands as the most powerful force in American electoral politics. Perhaps out of recognition of this fact, President Trump has taken a judicious approach to his endorsements in the 2022 cycle. To earn Trump’s coveted endorsement, a candidate must not only demonstrate loyalty to Trump and the Trumpist agenda that revolutionized American politics forever, the candidate in question must also stand strong on his own and show that he’s a winner. After all, winning is a big part of the Trump agenda.One would be hard pressed to think of a candidate more suited for a Trump endorsement...

Ukrainian climate scientist Svitlana Krakovska, who is on the UN’s intergovernmental panel on climate change, said continuing dependence on Russian fossil fuels was fuelling the war in Ukraine."The cause of this war, the enabler of this war... is oil and gas," she told the BBC today.

Just asking. It worked for B.J. Clinton was a better politician who could keep the whackos in check just long enough to play the long game. Today's rats are just that and open about it.

Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr talked of “proven” controls that reduce gun violence, specifically naming a control that has failed to end mass public attacks in California. On June 5, 2022, Breitbart News reported that California is No. 1 in gun control and No. 1 in “active shooter incidents.” According to the FBI, there were 61 “active shooter incidents” across the country in 2021 and California led the nation with six of those incidents.

Often lauded as the optimal bun for smashburgers, the squishy, yellow potato roll has been a holy grail for burger geeks around the country. The reigning champ among those buns has to be the one from Martin’s Famous Pastry Shoppe, a family-owned company based in Chambersburg, Penn. It catapulted to fame with the rise of Shake Shack, which uses its bread exclusively at its locations around the world. Locally, use of the Martin’s potato bun, at operations like Wesburger, Kowbird and Smish Smash, has signified chefs’ seriousness about their sandwiches.

You better hope it doesn’t get Cold Outside. Because the cost of heating your house just rose 5.74% this morning (natural gas futures). To $9.01. Between Biden’s anti-fossil fuel policies and the war in Ukraine, natural gas futures are up 255% under Biden. With rising natural gas prices, one would think American consumers and American home builders would start building higher-density housing like duplexes. But The Federal Reserve has helped America build BIGGER houses (as in greater square footage). Note that following the financial crisis and the takeover of the US economy by The Fed, median square footage of US...
