s Los Angeles County continues barreling toward another indoor mask mandate, one city in the jurisdiction has voted unanimously not to enforce another edict from now-embattled county public health officials if a mandate is issued: Beverly Hills. According to a release from the City of Beverly Hills, "[a] potential new health order by LA County that could require indoor masking will not be enforced by City of Beverly Hills staff" after the city council issued a unanimous directive on Monday night after Mayor Lili Bosse instructed them to take up the matter. As the city explains, they would be "included...

The White House attempted to gaslight Americans by casting confusion over the meaning of a recession. But did it take its cues from a major publication funded by liberal billionaire George Soros? The White House Council of Economic Advisers (CEA) released propaganda July 21: “It is unlikely that the decline in GDP in the first quarter of this year—even if followed by another GDP decline in the second quarter—indicates a recession.” Three days earlier, major liberal global publication Project Syndicate released a column by Jeffrey Frankel, a Harvard economist and research associate of the National Bureau of Economic Research, which...

For the second press briefing in a row, the White House took a beating from reporters due to President Joe Biden’s personal physician hiding from hungry reporters’ questions on the state of Biden’s COVID treatment, recovery, and overall health. You know it's bad when reporters from CBS News, The New York Times, and NewsMax all grilled the White House COVID-19 response coordinator Ashish Jha on the administration’s lack of transparency. Due to Biden’s bout of COVID, and the fact that White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre can’t take questions from the media without stepping on rakes, Jha was trotted out...

US issues fifth emergency notice of sale of crude oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, depletes another 20 million barrels

As California’s most draconian public health official, Barbara Ferrer of Los Angeles, threatens new indoor mask mandates, all other states are mostly ignoring whatever Covid variant is spreading. Why? Because while there may be more “cases” of Covid showing up, people just aren’t sick enough to be hospitalized. The symptoms vary from a mild cold to a full-blown flu. And that’s a raging inconvenience and uncomfortable, it’s a flu bug

Cutting down on "wasteful" car ownership will help to avert a "climate apocalypse," says the WEF Washington Moves Forward with Plan to Ban Non-Electric Cars by 2030 The World Economic Forum (WEF) is calling for an end to private car ownership.

It then calls on car owners to sell their vehicle because, “Car sharing platforms such as Getaround and BlueSG have...

Five months into the Russian invasion of Ukraine, there remains a startling lack of understanding by many Western policymakers and commentators of the economic dimensions of President Vladimir Putin’s invasion and what it has meant for Russia’s economic positioning both domestically and globally. Far from being ineffective or disappointing, as many have argued, international sanctions and voluntary business retreats have exerted a devastating effect over Russia’s economy. The deteriorating economy has served as a powerful if underappreciated complement to the deteriorating political landscape facing Putin.

Florida rapper Rollie Bands took great exception to people criticizing his beats. In fact, he took to Instagram on Friday, inviting the naysayers to confront him at his Tampa Bay-area apartment complex. Minutes after posting his challenge on the social media site, he was shot dead. According to HipHopDX, Bands wrote on his Instagram story: “A lot of these n*****s know where I live at fr. I sleep in peace. If a n***a want smoke I’m at my crib in 5 minutes.” And five minutes after the posting, Bands was shot once in the parking lot of his apartment building....

The White House is working on naming a monkeypox coordinator as they prepare for the possibility of more cases emerging within the United States.

It’s one of the worst betrayals conservatives have ever suffered at the hands of the Republican Party.On Tuesday, the House passed the so-called Respect for Marriage Act with a stunning 47 Republican votes and the blessing of GOP House leaders, and the bill is now rapidly gaining traction with Republicans in the Senate, shocking even Democrats and the liberal media. The Respect for Marriage Act would enshrine same-sex “marriage” into federal law, override duly enacted laws and constitutional amendments in 35 states, require the federal government to recognize polygamy or any other redefinition of marriage that a state may come...

Kentucky Senator Rand Paul and former Hawaii Representative Tulsi Gabbard have been listed by Ukraine among a number of American politicians, academics and activists Kyiv claims have promoted “Russian propaganda.”The list was compiled by the Ukrainian Center for Countering Disinformation, founded in 2021 by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to study the impact of Russian disinformation. The center is part of Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council.The list—which also includes retired U.S. Army Colonel Douglas Macgregor, military strategist Edward Luttwak, political scientist John Mearsheimer and journalist Glenn Greenwald—does not explain what the consequences are for those who Ukraine clearly considers responsible...

President Biden warned oil companies last week that if they don’t do more to help address rising prices, he will revoke their drilling permits on federal lands. While touting that gas prices have fallen to below $4 at 30,000 gas stations across 35 states, he said more needs to be done. "First, we’re going to look at ways to increase oil production from the existing wells and permits that exist today," he said. "The industry has more approved permits for production on federal lands than they can possibly use. That’s a fact. Let me say it again: They have more...

The murder investigation included records of Italian social clubs, draft cards, and Ellis Island immigration logs. For decades, it seemed that Lindy Sue Biechler’s killer would never be found. The 19-year-old newlywed’s stabbing death in her Lancaster County apartment in 1975 had stunned her community and shattered her family. As years passed, police kept working the case, slowly eliminating suspects as technology improved. Detectives on the scene had managed to save a sample of the killer’s DNA. But for decades it had no match in DNA databases of convicted criminals. That’s when CeCe Moore, a genetic genealogist at Parabon Nanolabs,...

A New York state law, signed by former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, is preventing the public release of the booking photo for a man accused of attempting to stab Rep. Lee Zeldin. In 2019, Cuomo sought to ban the public release of all booking photos, arrest records, names, and charges for suspects accused of crimes. The state’s Democrat-controlled legislature moved forward with a similar plan that prevents local and state police from releasing a suspect’s booking photo to the public unless it serves a law enforcement purpose. The law, which Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) has never objected to, is now helping...

The CDC is investigating the first two cases of monkeypox that have been identified in children in the US. One case is a toddler who is a resident of California. The other is an infant who is not a US resident. Dr. Ashish Jha, the White House Covid response coordinator, said the Biden administration is considering declaring monkeypox a public health emergency that will help unlock federal financial assistance in response to the outbreak. This comes after the WHO declared monkeypox a global health emergency on Saturday, as well as pressure from Congress and the first confirmed cases of monkeypox...

School and university students all over the world are planning to take school strikes one step further and occupy our campuses to demand the end of the fossil economy. Taking a lesson from student activists in the 1960s, the climate justice movement’s youth will shut down business as usual. Not because we don’t like learning, but because what we’ve learned already makes it clear that, without a dramatic break from this system, we cannot ensure a livable planet for our presents and futures. Why occupy? Because we’ve marched. We’ve launched petitions. We’ve written open letters. We’ve had meetings with governments,...
