Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said she was on the verge of hitting a man who called her his "favorite big booty Latina” outside the Capitol on Wednesday. The harasser, right-wing provocateur Alex Stein, recorded himself as he catcalled the congresswoman and posted the video on his Twitter account. Ocasio-Cortez later shared Stein's video, calling it a "deeply disgusting incident." "I was actually walking over to deck him because if no one will protect us then I’ll do it myself but I needed to catch a vote more than a case today," Ocasio-Cortez tweeted after the incident. "It’s just a bummer...

Yesterday was an educational day. Josh Hawley took on a looney from Berkeley- but aren't they all? I've seen lots of claims of how Khiara Bridges "pwned" Hawley but saner and more mature minds saw it differently. During a hearing on the impact of the Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe Hawley and Bridges, a law professor from Berkeley, got into an animated discussion which made clear how far from reality the left has gotten. Hawley asked some simple questions of a highly insecure person and was insulted repeatedly. 'You've used a phrase I want to make sure I understand...

In 2020, President Joe Biden set a record as the presidential candidate to receive the most votes ever in U.S. history. And now, over a year and a half into this first term, he is setting a new record but it’s probably one he won’t be bragging about: how high his disapproval rating is at this point in his presidency. CNN’s senior data reporter, Harry Enten, made an appearance on “AC 360” to discuss the president’s abysmal approval rating with host Anderson Cooper. Enten shared a slide that showed Biden’s disapproval rating seven months ago was at 50% and a...

The latest Emerson College Polling/KLAS-TV/The Hill Nevada survey finds just a third of voters (33%) approve of the job President Biden is doing; a whole 57% disapprove. Nevada Governor Steve Sisolak holds a 40% approval rating, while 48% disapprove of his job performance. Thirty-seven percent (37%) approve of the job the Supreme Court is doing, while half (50%) disapprove... In a 2024 hypothetical matchup between President Biden and Donald Trump, the former President holds 43% of support while Biden holds 40%—thirteen percent (13%) say they would vote for someone else and 4% are undecided. In a contest between President Biden...

.....TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — Vice President Kamala Harris is scheduled to visit Tampa’s MacDill Air Force Base on Thursday. The visit is one of two stops she has planned in Florida. Before heading to Tampa, the vice president will be in Orlando for a roundtable discussion with Florida legislators about abortion and reproductive rights. The discussion comes while the state is in a legal battle over a new 15-week abortion ban. Once Harris arrives at MacDill AFB, she’ll meet with servicemembers and receive a briefing from CENTCOM Commander, General Michael E. Kurilla, SOCOM Commander, General Richard D. Clarke and other...

**SNIP** "Biden was on TV again, making crazy statements and concerning mental gaffes; he didn’t know what state he was in or what office he was campaigning for," Jackson recalls of the 2020 campaign season. "He apparently thought at one point that he was running for the Senate and later couldn’t remember what state he was campaigning in. This had been going on for months and was getting worse." For years, the media had accused Trump of being mentally unwell, and in 2018 many commentators mocked Jackson for saying that a cognitive evaluation Trump had taken showed he was in...

by Joshua Ford | 24News Two teenagers attempted to rob and carjack the wrong family. The incident was caught on video footage available below. An armed Texas dad shot and injured two 16-year-olds who allegedly crept up behind the vehicles as the family was arriving at their home in Houston. The teenagers attempted to open the car’s rear door where two infants were seated — both only 1 year old. The mother was seated in front. The father fired several rounds and hit both suspects. His wife drove off in an attempt to get away. Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said...

A Democratic Florida gubernatorial candidate who pledged to legalize marijuana if elected owns a sizable stake in a pot dispensary company, according to a financial disclosure. Nikki Fried, who was a medical marijuana lobbyist before becoming Florida’s agriculture commissioner in 2018, has a $130,000 stake in Harvest Health and Recreation Inc. through a company called Ignite Holdings, her 2021 disclosure to the Florida Commission on Ethics shows.

One of the common complaints that you often hear from people on the dissident Right is that “the right wing has no organisation!” To a great extent this is true, at least on a local and demotic level. The organisation that does - at least overtly - seem to exist is found at the establishment, official, and federal level, yet rarely “organises” anything meaningful for the genuine Right. So this organisation, for the average Joe trying to simply live his life without constant harassment from the woke Left, is ephemeral and has little positive impact on his situation. There’s a...

The 2020 election was full of chaos and irregularities. States across the country changed election policies and procedures last minute. Due to the pandemic, election officials claimed these emergency actions and deviations from election laws were necessary. In 2020, the Wisconsin Elections Commission authorized “municipal clerks and local elections officials to establish ballot drop boxes” and said that people acting on behalf of the voter could deliver his or her ballot to these drop boxes. Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg gave millions of dollars to election offices to change election procedures and fuel vote-by-mail efforts. The Capital Research Center uncovered that...

WASHINGTON, Sunday, July 13. The Richmond Dispatch, of Wednesday, says: "Monday afternoon, a demonstration was made against our pickets, which indicates a restiveness on the part of the foe in his present cramped and confined situation. Two pieces of the Louisiana Guard Artillery were sent forward to the support of the pickets, when the enemy retired without risking a shot from our pieces. It is not believed that MCCLELLAN can be induced to make an attack upon our forces, but it is conjectured that he may attempt to throw his forces on the south side of the river, with a...

US rapper Snoop Dogg took Instagram by storm over the weekend by posting a photo of a weed strain dubbed 'Sleepy Joe OG', mocking President Joe Biden for his frequent mental lapses. The premium cannabis packaging features an image of Biden, along with the phrases "Where am I?" and "You won't even remember what country you are in!", accompanied by an inscription claiming that the weed is reportedly grown in Ukraine, Russia and China. Snoop Dogg posted the photo on Sunday on his Instagram feed, which is followed by 74.6 million people, amassing more than 565,000 likes and nearly 10,000...

A New York Supreme Court judge this month quietly ruled that regulations mandating that people infected with or exposed to highly contagious communicable diseases be quarantined are a violation of state law, declaring them null and void. The Isolation and Quarantine procedures, known as Rule 2.13, were enacted in February. Under the rule, “whenever appropriate to control the spread of a highly contagious communicable disease, the State Commissioner of Health may issue and/or may direct the local health authority to issue isolation and/or quarantine orders, consistent with due process of law, to all such persons as the State Commissioner of...

Russia is being hit hard by Ukraine‘s Javelin anti-tank missiles. What makes this weapon so powerful? The U.S.-made FGM-148 Javelin is one of the premier portable anti-tank missile systems in the world. It’s also an expensive piece of kit, with each missile typically costing more than the targets it eliminates. However, corruption is the main problem that every country has to fight with and the Ukrainians are no different! The expensive javelins have allegedly found their way into the black market on the Internet. Telegram channels have repeatedly reported that military equipment is being sold by the Ukrainians. The sales...

Catching Joe Biden’s gaffes, blunders, dementia, and lies can be amusing but, mostly, it’s extremely disturbing that the man at the head of the American government is a demented liar who gets worse every day. The first day of his trip to Israel was no exception. But physical well-being is just one factor. Biden’s suggests that his body is aging badly but that doesn’t mean he’s mentally impaired. What suggests mental impairment is his inability to avoid gaffes. For example, there’s just no way to dress up referring to the “truth and honor of the Holocaust.” I assume Biden misread...

On Tuesday night we learned that Gerson Fuentes, an illegal alien from Guatemala living in Columbus, Ohio, confessed to raping a young girl who was just nine years old at the time. A little girl who should be playing with Barbies and My Little Ponies and jumping rope on the playground. When you report on a story like this, you go into it hoping it’s not true. It’s hard to process the utter depravity of someone who would rape a child. It’s our job to read the police reports and the detailed descriptions of the crimes when we investigate these...

NEW BUFFALO, Mich. — REAL News Michiana has obtained exclusive bodycam video of a false arrest of Granger man by the United States Coast Guard last month. The Coast Guard made the arrest based off of a flyer sent to them from an anonymous source, then claimed the man was wanted for assaulting a federal officer at the January 6th, 2021, rally in Washington D.C. It turned out, there was no warrant. The Coast Guard arrested Walker on June 11th of this year at the Moorings Marina in New Buffalo. However, there was no warrant and no evidence the 68-year-old...

Venture capital dealmaking in the United States dipped in the first half of 2022, as investors shied away from signing large checks for startups due to uncertain macroeconomic conditions and market turmoil, according to a report on Thursday. The value of deals struck in the first half of 2022 dropped to $144.2 billion, due to an ongoing stock market rout driven by fears of a looming recession, raging inflation and aggressive rate hikes, from $158.2 billion over the same period last year. VC dealmaking hit an all-time high of over $340 billion in 2021, as firms ramped up bets on...

Credit: Journal of Power Sources (2022). DOI: 10.1016/j.jpowsour.2022.231339 Thermally regenerative ammonia batteries can produce electricity on demand from low-grade waste heat. A new process for creating these batteries improves their stability and affordability and may help address the country's growing grid-scale energy storage problem, according to a team led by Penn State researchers. "We can use ammonia as an energy carrier to harness waste heat and recharge some battery chemistries," said Derek Hall, assistant professor of energy engineering. "But previous battery chemistries used metallic zinc or copper electrodes, which had major setbacks in terms of electrode stability. What we did...
