Holly Matkin 20 hours ago Philadelphia, PA – Fourteen people were shot and three were killed after multiple gunmen opened fire during a chaotic gathering on Philadelphia’s South Street on Saturday night. Witness Geoff Ford said he and other patrons at a nearby restaurant locked themselves inside the building as the rowdy crowd jumped on cars and fought with one another shortly before the shooting. “I mean, you can’t control 400 kids,” one witness was heard saying in a video clip. “They’re fighting again. Where are all the f—king cops?”

Speaking to reporters from the briefing room Monday afternoon, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre struggled to justify President Joe Biden's invocation of the Defense Production Act to build solar panels. Jean-Pierre justified Biden's use of the DPA by falsely claiming there is a current electricity shortage that solar panels can help alleviate. Jean-Pierre was also asked about the benefit of the move to the Chinese Communist Party. Given the DPA is reserved for times of war and true emergencies, Jean-Pierre's explanation shows Biden is using the extreme measure to push the left's climate change agenda and forced transition away...

VIDEOJust in time for the January 6 Committee prime time circus to be televised on June 9, an FBI informant was indicted so the Kangaroo Court Committee can point to a "victory." They are so desperate to show results for all their effort that they even indicted someone whom Christopher Wray assured didn't exist, namely an FBI informant involved with the January 6 protests. Of course, in all of the gloating reports about the indictment of the FBI informant did any of them even mention that he is an... FBI informant.The name of the FBI informant is Enrique Tarrio and...

The untold story about "green energy" is that it can't possibly be scaled up to provide anywhere near the energy to replace fossil fuels (unless we are headed back to the stone ages, which is what some of the "de-growth" advocates favor). Right now, the United States gets about 70% of its energy from fossil fuels. To go to zero over the next 20 years would be economically catastrophic and cost tens of millions of jobs. With gas prices at nearly double their price back from when Donald Trump left office and inflation up from 1.5% to 8% in just...

MSNBC “Morning Joe” host Joe Scarborough on Tuesday reacted to the GOP pushback to the upcoming January 6 primetime hearings. Scarborough argued that Republicans like Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) were “trying to distract” from the hearings in their criticism of the televised hearings. He advised that “if you really love America” and “believe in American democracy,” then “you want to know what happened on January 6.”

"I feel guilty man, 'cause I couldn’t stop" Ramos, Briseno told NBC. "He was shooting at the windows, and I didn’t have my gun on me." He said the memory was refreshed with every grave he dug for a victim -- one of them for his own cousin. "It always plays in my head," he told NBC

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich called President Joe Biden the “second-worst” in the country’s history. According to Gingrich, Biden is second to former President James Buchanan, who he blamed for getting the country into the Civil War. “I think it’s important to remember, first of all, to be fair, Jimmy Carter was a disaster,” he said. “But he was a lot smarter and a lot more coherent than Joe Biden. Well, Carter, in the end, couldn’t solve the problems. He at least was there. You could imagine him as a naval academy graduate and a nuclear engineer from the submarine...

Wall Street on Parade had an excellent article showing the seismic explosion in the Fed’s Balance Sheet after the housing bubble burst and ensuing financial crisis. Here is my version of their chart since 2000 where you can seen the seismic shift in the balance sheet (toxic green slime line), particularly with The Fed’s response to Covid. The Fed is signaling a tightening in monetary policy to help reduce inflation (blue line). But notice that M2 Money Velocity (GDP/M2) is now near the all-time low along with consumer purchasing power. How BIG is The Fed’s balance sheet? Try more that...

The end result is that the US-led West’s latest fake news narrative about Russia has completely flopped after Africa defied American pressure not to buy that country’s wheat. The New York Times reported on Monday that American officials warned a handful of African countries in mid-May against buying what they claimed was grain that Russia had stolen from Ukraine. The timing of this report several weeks following that diplomatic event comes after African Union (AU) Chairman Macky Sall met with Russian President Putin in Sochi last Friday, during which time he denounced the US-led West’s anti-Russian sanctions that he said...

Supreme Court-designate Ketanji Brown Jackson didn’t attempt to stay neutral on a gun control issue that could land before the high court one day. During a commencement address at Harvard University last week, New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern listed several items her government has accomplished in recent years, including “banning military-style semi-automatics and assault rifles.” New Zealand banned these weapons after the 2019 Christchurch mosque shooting, which left 51 dead. Jackson, who was sitting near Ardern, was seen applauding while the graduates gave a standing ovation.

Just weeks after suffering a stroke (and, days later, securing Pennsylvania's Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate), Lt. Gov. John Fetterman has revealed he has a heart condition, publishing a letter from his doctor with further details on his health. In the letter, Fetterman's cardiologist, Dr. Ramesh Chandra, said she first saw Fetterman in 2017, after he began experiencing swelling in his feet. "That is when I diagnosed him with atrial fibrillation, an irregular heart rhythm, along with a decreased heart pump," Chandra wrote.

A coalition of House Republicans tasked with crafting energy and climate policy are set to unveil a six-point plan Thursday to, in part, curb global greenhouse gas emissions. The plan, proposed by the Energy, Climate, and Conservation (ECC) task force and spearheaded by Louisiana Rep. Garret Graves, will seek to “unlock” American resources, position the U.S. to beat China and Russia, boost innovation and improve conservation policies, according to the conservative green energy group ClearPath Action. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy tapped Graves to lead the ECC task force and “develop policy solutions to help lower energy costs for consumers,...

President Joe Biden is set to use his executive authority Monday to issue a 24-month moratorium on solar panel tariffs designed to bolster U.S. industry. Biden’s actions will pause enforcement of Obama-era anti-circumvention tariffs on solar panels and invoke the 1950 Defense Production Act (DPA) to boost domestic panel manufacturing, the White House announced. The president’s move came in response to complaints from the green energy industry and Democratic lawmakers that an active Commerce Department probe into Chinese companies’ alleged tariff violations was slowing the administration’s clean energy goals.

AOC shared on Instagram Live about her experience protesting at Standing Rock in 2016. She’s gone from woke to “awakened.” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez claims she experienced an “awakening” and got in touch with her indigenous ancestry in 2016, while demonstrating against the Dakota Access Pipeline at the Standing Rock Indian Reservation. During a lengthy Instagram story Q&A session Saturday, the left-wing lawmaker spoke for roughly three minutes about people native to the Caribbean, known as Taíno, and the Americas, stressing that many Taíno ways are still alive and have not been entirely wiped out by European colonization. “I really, really...

On June 6, 1944, Supreme Allied Commander Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower gave the green light for the largest amphibious military operation in history. Codenamed Operation Overlord, the Allied invasion of the heavily Nazi-fortified coast of France's Normandy region has come to be more popularly known as D-Day. On that monumental patriotic battle hung the balance of power in World War II (1939-1945) and the fate of the world. "Higgins was not native to the South. … He grew up in Nebraska, where, at various ages, he was expelled from school for fighting. Higgins' temperament improved around boats. He built his...

The argument there is one system of justice for elites and another for the rest of America has escaped the boundaries of the Russia collusion case to other investigations far and wide in America. While holding firm in its promise to prosecute Jan. 6 offenders to the max, the U.S. Justice Department made a curious move last week. It withdrew its own plea deal with two lawyers accused of using Molotov cocktails in 2020 during George Floyd protests in New York City and allowed the defendants to plea to different charges that carried less prison time. The rare reversal by...
