The owner of the boutique clothing store, Kitson, said he has noticed a "disturbing" trend of people using masks to avoid detection , according to FOX 11.

"We do not allow...

The Internal Revenue Service has spent tens of millions of U.S. taxpayer dollars purchasing guns, ammunition, and military-style equipment. Reports of the agency’s massive spend on weapons and combat equipment appear to be at odds with its stated purpose of “providing America’s taxpayers top quality service by helping them understand and meet their tax responsibilities.” It also resurfaces as President Joe Biden deploying 87,000 new Internal Revenue Service (IRS) agents to audit Americans. Prior to the minting of President Biden’s nearly 100,000 new IRS agents, the agency already had a sizable budget, of which tens of millions of dollars had...

It is well-known TikTok is owned by Beijing-based technology company ByteDance, which was founded in 2012 by Chinese billionaire Zhang Yiming. For this reason, President Trump announced he was going to ban TikTok. Trump wisely issued three Executive Orders banning American businesses from working with TikTok (or WeChat). President Trump did not allow any branch of the Federal government to use the CCP’s TikTok. Joe Biden revoked President Trump’s TikTok Executive Orders in June of 2021. ..... Snip..... Now this… Joe Biden just welcomed TikTok into a formal partnership with the Federal Voting Assistance Program, a U.S. government agency set...

The Democrat primary race for governor in Florida remains up in the air leading to the swiftly approaching election, as various polls send mixed signals; separate surveys this week show both Rep. Charlie Crist (D-FL) and Commissioner of Agriculture Nikki Fried (D) leading. The Sunshine State’s Democrat primary race, which takes place Tuesday, August 23, 2022, is widely believed to be between two main candidates — Crist and Fried. While Crist has been assumed throughout the primary to be the clear leader, a recent survey from the Public Opinion Research Lab (PORL) at the University of North Florida suggests otherwise.

"With the help of RINOs, MSM, Big Tech, Big Pharma, communist China and others, democRATs and Joe Biden stole America in 2020 by rigging the election (yes, when Pennsylvania had 122,000 more votes cast than registered voters, not to mention Republican observers being locked out of counting rooms all over the country, we are well past conspiracy theory time). That along with John Roberts mostly swing-voting left on the Supreme Court gave them near total control of the government. But now judgment time has arrived as the left is experiencing a pox on both of their houses…of Congress. democRATs in...

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Pentagon has announced they will be making the new Monkeypox vaccine mandatory, but just for the Navy. "After careful research into how Monkeypox is spread, we have determined the Navy to be at dire risk," said Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin. "The other branches, meh - should be fine." The Pentagon became aware of the acute danger Monkeypox presented after the entire crew of the U.S.S. Harvey Milk tested positive last week. "That ship is something out of a nightmare, it's like a haunted house right now," said physician Dr. Ryan Walter. "We heard reports of...

" It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life." "And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him, and a light shined in the prison: and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, Arise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands." "And upon a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat upon his throne, and made an oration unto them. And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the voice of a god, and...

Day one of 'The Moment of Truth' Summit from Springfield, MO is being broadcast live by Right Side Broadcasting Network. As of this writing, volunteers from each state are reviewing issues, roadblocks, and victories in trying to correct vote issues in their states. The patriot Mike Lindell organized this summit, but rest assured that the focus is on all aspects of election fraud, including voter rolls, ballot issues, and official corruption, as well as voting machines. The quality of analysis, the scope of information exchange, and the passion of the activists is quite impressive. I recommend that anyone interested should...

Documentarian Ford Fischer rediscovered some video from the riot on Jan. 6 that’s raising a lot of questions. It also puts a big crimp in the narrative of the Jan. 6 Committee. He has a picture and video of Capitol Police Lieutenant Tarik Johnson leading Oathkeepers into the building, then wearing a MAGA hat and yelling into a bullhorn, leading more of them out. *** Now, this has been reported before, albeit not widely. But Johnson said he appealed to Oathkeepers who were outside to help get some of his fellow officers out who were trapped in the building. Where...

The FBI raid of former President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago golf club could accelerate a widely expected presidential announcement, insiders close to the billionaire told The Post. “There are more and more people telling President Trump to announce right now. He’s got people calling him,” said one person in Trump’s orbit. There is an increasingly widely held belief among Trump’s friends and hangers-on that the energy and outrage generated by the federal search is the perfect springboard for an announcement in the months before the midterm elections in November. “In the days after the raid we saw all fundraising records broken. This...

Vatican Failures in Cardinal Ouellet’s CasePope Francis issued a letter on August 20, 2018 in the aftermath of the Pennsylvania Grand Jury report on sexual abuse by Catholic clergy and cover-ups by bishops. He wrote: “’If one member suffers, all suffer together with it’ (1 Cor 12:26). These words of Saint Paul forcefully echo in my heart as I acknowledge once more the suffering endured by many minors due to sexual abuse, the abuse of power and the abuse of conscience perpetrated by a significant number of clerics and consecrated persons.”He didn’t stop there: “Looking ahead to the future, no...

Liz Cheney was roundly defeated at the polls on Tuesday evening, a welcome retribution for her active participation in the kangaroo court known as the January 6th Committee hearings. During her concession speech, she metaphorically wrapped herself in the American Flag, proudly proclaiming that she stands on the side of Democracy. But, as Mark points out, she's always been a never-Trumper. And her claims of standing for Democracy are nothing but lies.
