A 70-year-old woman is speaking from her bedside after being beaten brutally and even kicked in the head by multiple attackers, in broad daylight in San Francisco.

I (eventually) submitted the below email to Senator Rand Paul through his website. A previous version was rejected as a "Security Threat". ======================== Senator Paul, I'm very proud to say that you're one of my Senators. I hope you are concerned about Big Tech using its power to remove comments and ideas that they don't like from their internet platforms since the suppression of free speech is the complete antithesis of the idea of the United States of America. Also, Big Tech has reportedly been coordinating this suppression with government officials. Apparently, because they are private companies, they can currently...

I sent a text message to JD Vance's election team "Is JD Vance running ads? The only ads I see on TV are Ryan's ads blasting JD?" and received the following reply: JD is meeting with folks all over the state of Ohio right now. I know you’ve been seeing a lot of TV commercials from our opponent, but there's a lot of time between now and November. We'll be making our case for why JD is the RIGHT leader for Ohio, but there is a game plan for how and when we do that. Tim Ryan’s time under the...

Anti-Trumper Brian Kilmeade and FOX News ran a segment on Monday claiming Kari Lake is down by one point in Arizona. Kari Lake is the most attractive Republican candidate in the country today. Kari is the total package of grit, intelligence, courage, beauty, and charisma. OX News wants her gone. This is who the American people and working class are up against. Do not fool yourself. The New York Times is reporting on Monday that FOX News has not had President Trump on the network for over 100 days. They are hoping to eliminate President Trump as a major player...

(Translation) Iranian Vice Minister of Economic Affairs Mohsen Kousheshtabar confirmed that Nicolás Maduro's regime has given Iran one million hectares [2,471,054 acres] of farmland in Venezuela while the world faces a shortage of strategic reserves. Nicolás Maduro visited Iran in June where he held conversations with his Iranian counterpart Ebrahim Raisi. It was said that both nations signed a 20-year "strategic cooperation" agreement "in all areas". Along with Russia, China, Cuba, and Turkey, Iran is one of the Venezuelan regime's main allies. And, as with Caracas, the theocracy is also subject to harsh sanctions from the United States. The bilateral...

Dr. John Franklin has a podcast about excess deaths in both the UK and the United States. Approximately 16% more people are dying in these western countries yearly than in normal years. Statistics show that the vast majority of these deaths are not covid related. My question is what do you think is causing this rapid increase in deaths?

TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — The military aircraft likely carrying the delegation led by U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was spotted possibly bypassing the South China Sea, where China is reportedly ratcheting up military activity ahead of her potential visit to Taiwan. Pelosi is expected to land at Taipei Songshan Airport in the country's capital city at 10:20 Tuesday night (Aug. 2), media reported. In addition to the military incursions into Taiwan's air defense identification zone (ADIZ) on a nearly daily basis this year, two Chinese warships – a missile destroyer and guided-missile frigate – were also tracked in international waters...

WASHINGTON — An American drone strike killed Ayman al-Zawahri, a key plotter of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks who took over as the leader of Al Qaeda after Osama bin Laden’s death, at an urban safe house in Afghanistan, President Biden announced on Monday night. The early-morning strike in the heart of downtown Kabul over the weekend capped a 21-year manhunt for an Egyptian radical who more than anyone besides Bin Laden was deemed responsible for the deadliest foreign attack on the United States in modern times and never gave up targeting Americans. “Now justice has been delivered and...

When an underwater volcano in Tonga erupted in January, it belched out more than ash and volcanic gases; it also spewed 58,000 Olympic-size swimming pools' worth of water vapor into Earth's atmosphere, a new study finds. This water vapor could end up being the most destructive part of the volcano's eruption because it could potentially exacerbate global warming and deplete the ozone layer, according to the study. When the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai volcano erupted on Jan. 15, it became the most powerful explosion on Earth in more than 30 years, with an equivalent force of 100 Hiroshima bombs.

Pelosi was charged last month following his arrest in May in connection with his Porsche collided with a Jeep at an intersection near Yountville, Calif., police said. The Napa County Superior Court has not ordered Pelosi to appear at the arraignment, and he may choose to appear through his defense counsel, prosecutors also said. The arraignment will be broadcast over Zoom, and the detail of the court proceedings will afterward be...

The Biden White House has tried for weeks to convince Beijing and the world that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s expected visit to Taiwan says nothing about U.S. policy toward China or Taiwan. Yet experts say that effort misses the point, because intra-party schisms in Washington are effectively meaningless to the rest of the world. The fact that U.S. policy toward Taiwan is deliberately ambiguous has only made it more difficult for the White House to draw a distinction between what Pelosi is doing and what Biden is saying.

The Dane County Sheriff’s Office will be holding a gun “buyback” on August 13, 2022, in Madison, Wisconsin, at the Alliant Energy Center. “Buyback” is an Orwellian term. The guns which will be turned in to the police and sheriff deputies at the event were never owned by the government, so they cannot be “bought back”. The Alliant Energy Center is part of the Madison Coliseum complex, at 1919 Alliant Energy Center Way. There are large parking lots with little roadside parking. The event is to start at 10 a.m. and end at 2 p.m. $50,000 dollars has been allocated...

An upstate New York county library in June hosted a series of four events in which eleven to eighteen-year-olds could “learn the art of drag from a local drag queen.” The Tompkins County Public Library, located in Ithaca, New York, hosted the four events on June 6, June 13, June 20, and June 27. “Participants will learn about costuming, makeup, lip synching, stage presence, and more,” the library boasted, urging, “Students will be best served by attending all classes in the series, as each week will address a different aspect of performing drag.” Then, to inculcate the youths further into...
