New York Times economic columnist Paul Krugman is now pretending to be a climate expert since his economic record on inflation is just awful. Now, he’s celebrating Democrat senators for allegedly trying to “save” civilization from a supposed eco-disaster with their $740 billion Inflation Reduction Act, projected to worsen inflation. The Democrat-controlled House of Representatives is currently considering the legislation. Krugman was tickled pink in his latest drivel headlined: “Did Democrats Just Save Civilization?” In the lead of the story, he fawned: “They really did it.” He continued: “This is a very big deal. The act isn’t, by itself, enough...

Former President Donald Trump suggested the FBI may have planted evidence during the bureau’s raid at his Mar-a-Lago home because members of his team were blocked from watching the agents. In a Truth Social post on Wednesday, the former president wrote that “the FBI and others from the Federal Government would not let anyone, including my lawyers, be anywhere near the areas that were rummaged and otherwise looked at during the raid on Mar-a-Lago.” “Everyone was asked to leave the premises, they wanted to be left alone, without any witnesses to see what they were doing, taking or, hopefully not,...

Activists in support of access to abortion covered the front of the Riverside Historic Courthouse with handprints and slogans on Saturday evening, July 30, resulting in eight arrests, authorities said. About 19 people took part in a demonstration about 6:30 p.m. at 4050 Main St., said Olivia Dunston, an organizer for Rise Up 4 Abortion Rights. Many wore green bandanas, marking their affiliation with the group. Signs calling for the nationwide legalization of abortion and handprints made with what the group described as removable paint were seen near the front entrance of the 119-year-old building. Riverside police were summoned, and...

In six days, Wyoming will determine the fate of its sole member of Congress, Rep. Liz Cheney, in the nation's most high-profile House primary of the year. Cheney's reelection has seized the spotlight ever since former President Donald Trump promised to exact revenge on the 10 members of his party who voted to impeach him over the January 6, 2021, Capitol siege. Then-the highest-ranking Republican of the bunch, Cheney became Trump's No 1. Target.

Pantheon: A temple dedicated to all the gods. On Monday's New Day, CNN wasted no time this morning in elevating Joe Biden to near-godlike status for doing what Democrats do best: spending unimaginable amounts of taxpayer money, and raising taxes. CNN analyst Ryan Lizza celebrated the so-called "Inflation Reduction Act" as putting Biden in the "pantheon" of greats. “For history, I think it’s a pretty big deal. You know, if you add up those seven pieces of legislation, it’s a $3.5 trillion agenda that Biden and the Democrats have passed since early last year. There’s really nothing like that in...

Several arrests were made as pro-abortion protesters clashed with anti-abortion activists at a New York City Catholic Church on Saturday.

Police did not provide any information on the ages of the protesters or the charges against them. Several videos and photos posted on social media by individuals at the protest showed NYPD officers making arrests and attempting to subdue the crowd. Anti-abortion protesters typically show up at the cathedral on...

A father has accused a Kansas City water park of racism after it abruptly called off the birthday party for his son when 500 people allegedly arrived and made staff feel 'uncomfortable.'

A video of the heated argument with the Evans family and a park employee shows the family demanding an answer, with the official not giving a clear response as she's flanked by...

As a discharged U.S. Navy veteran, Gavin Casdorph said he knew better than to invoke the name of ISIS to terrorize an American college. But that’s exactly what the 22-year-old Anchorage, Alaska, man did when he used a fake Twitter account to create a bomb scare at Lafayette College in Easton. Casdorph was sentenced to five years and three months in federal prison Wednesday for the May 8, 2018, bomb scare and for firebombing a car in Canada on Feb. 23, 2018. He appeared at the federal courthouse in Easton. Casdorph apologized for “creating a very real and very scary...

As reported earlier today — President Trump declassified a binder on January 19th, 2021 that contains hundreds of pages about the Crossfire Hurricane scandal. It contains damaging information about the corrupt actors involved with our government. Two different DOJ Attorney General’s have defied President Trump’s direct lawful order to publish the binder in the Federal Register. It’s been 19 months as the DOJ defies the order, and every FOIA request to make it public.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., Aug 9 (Reuters) - A Muslim immigrant from Afghanistan has been arrested as the prime suspect in the serial killings of four Muslim men that rattled the Islamic community of New Mexico's largest city, police said on Tuesday. After days bolstering security around Albuquerque-area mosques, seeking to allay fears of a shooter driven by anti-Muslim hate, police said on Tuesday they had arrested 51-year-old Muhammad Syed, one among the city's Islamic immigrant community.

The city of Longmont has postponed the expansion of its Nelson-Flanders Water Treatment Plant because inflation has pushed the estimated cost of the project to roughly $27 million over budget. Originally, the construction was estimated to cost $46.7 million but has since ballooned to $73.8 million, Longmont Senior Civil Engineer Joe Michalski said in an email Monday. In particular, the cost of wood, steel, pipes and fuel have driven up the cost dramatically, Michalski said.

The jigsaw puzzle of William Howard Hughes Jr.'s life has many missing pieces. After disappearing into thin air in 1983 he was wanted across the globe by numerous agencies, from the Air Force to the FBI to Interpol. At one point it was thought that he defected to the Russians. Some suggested he sabotaged the disastrous Challenger space shuttle launch. Even after his recent capture, much of this unlikely story remains a mystery for the ages. Here’s what we found out. Born in Seattle in 1950 to a father who worked in the airline industry, Hughes had three sisters. He...

I've been preaching the gospel of the Linux desktop for more years than some of you have been alive. However, unless you argue that the Linux desktop includes Android smartphones and ChromeOS laptops, there will be no year of the Linux desktop. But there should be. For example, as GitLab recently revealed in its onboarding document for employees, staffers can run macOS, and they can run Linux on their desktops. But Windows? Forget about it!Why? GitLab explained: "Due to Microsoft Windows' dominance in desktop operating systems, Windows is the platform most targeted by spyware, viruses, and ransomware."Today's Windows is still...

CBS’ left-wing The Late Show host Stephen Colbert says the FBI’s raid of former President Donald Trump’s home is like Christmas, adding, “we all got the present we wanted.” “It may be hot outside, but in here it’s Christmas, because yesterday, we got the present we wanted: FBI agents raided Mar-a-Lago,” Colbert said to his audience, before blowing them a kiss.

An entirely new type of flu vaccine could better protect people from influenza, and clinical trials of the vaccines are starting this month. The new flu vaccines are based on mRNA technology, the same method that was used to create the most common and successful U.S. COVID-19 vaccines, those made by Pfizer and Moderna. These vaccines use messenger RNA (or mRNA) to “teach” cells to make proteins. These proteins don’t cause illness, but are the same type that we’d get during a COVID-19 or flu infection. The vaccines then train the immune system to prevent actual infections. The first group...

After weeks of eating and judging, 10 dishes have made the ranks to fight for the number one spot.

A massive brawl broke out between up to 20 family members during a funeral for an elderly woman in Richmond on Aug. 6, leading to one injury, one arrest and $20,000 in damage, officials said.

Two people were arrested and three officers injured in a protest that erupted as the Los Angeles City Council approved a ban on homeless encampments within 500 feet of schools and daycare centers. The 11-3 final vote on Tuesday, which applies to public and private schools, came after the meeting was recessed due to dozens of protesters shouting their opposition while police cleared the council chamber. The standoff with officers was triggered after one woman began cursing at the council and suddenly stepped past the benches towards the city leaders, causing officers to immediately intervene as demonstrators yelled at them....

VIDEOBWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Mark down August 10, 2022. That was the day that The Hill Rising channel labeled Chuck Schumer as "Schmuck Schumer" as you can plainly see. I've heard him called that before but NEVER on a mainstream broadcast. It was so surprising to see that label that even after watching Briahna Joy Gray's commentary a number of times I still have trouble recalling what she actually said since I just couldn't get past that "Schmuck Schumer" label they put up. And how did Gray manage to keep from bursting out laughing while delivering her commentary next to that label?
