New York City’s “overcrowded” homeless shelters are filled, now housing 6,700 border crossers who have arrived in recent weeks on migrant buses sent from Texas by Gov. Greg Abbott (R). For months, Abbott has sent buses filled with border crossers to New York City, which prides itself as the nation’s largest sanctuary jurisdiction for illegal aliens.

The upcoming film My Son Hunter “was a hit” with the audience at a private screening in Los Angeles this week, according to the UK Daily Mail. The crowd of Hollywood conservatives, producers, and influencers gave the film a rousing standing ovation, with one audience member telling the Daily Mail that the movie is “not your mother’s conservative movie.” Indeed, the subject matter of My Son Hunter is not about “family values”—unless you’re talking about the Biden family. My Son Hunter, which marks Breitbart’s expansion into film distribution, was a crowdfunded project inspired by the investigative reporting of Government Accountability...

Disgraced former FBI officials who failed to find Trump campaign collusion with Russia have begun smearing Kash Patel — the House Intelligence Committee investigator who exposed Russiagate as a hoax — suggesting that he will be ensnared in the FBI’s investigation of documents seized from Mar-a-Lago and threatening that he should be quiet and get a lawyer. Andrew Weissman, the lead prosecutor for former Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s failed effort to find and charge then-President Donald Trump with Russian collusion, recently suggested in an interview on MSNBC that Patel was “clearly in the crosshairs,” since the Department of Justice chose...

The country is currently at “war” with the “evil” and “weak” Republicans, according to MSNBC guest commentator Roland Martin, who called for Democrats to “stand strong” against conservatives and “keep hitting” back, while warning these “crazed, deranged folks” seek “to impart evil in every facet of our society.” Appearing on MSNBC’s The Cross Connection with Tiffany Cross on Saturday, Martin explained that the Americans are at “war” and must be ready for the fight.

The Biden-Harris regime does not respect our religious freedoms, especially if you’re a Christian. This is nothing new. But now they’re going so far as to invoke God when trying to make their pitch for us to get jabbed as many times as possible for whatever diseases they deem worthy. Watch White House Coronavirus Response Coordinator Ashish Jha go there: If that wasn’t bad enough, here’s Anthony Fauci telling us to expect yearly Covid boosters just like he pushes the flu shots: Clay Travis @ClayTravis · Follow Dr. Fauci says everyone will need to get a yearly covid shot for...

Prominent Pennsylvania newspaper the Pittsburg Post-Gazette is raising concerns over Senate candidate John Fetterman's health following repeated criticisms from his Republican opponent, celebrity doctor-turned-politician Mehmet Oz. "If Mr. Fetterman is not well enough to debate his opponent, that raises serious concerns about his ability to serve as a United States senator," the Post-Gazette editorial board wrote. [cut] The Fetterman campaign has confirmed the lieutenant governor is attending speech therapy and "doing the hard work" to make a full recovery, according to the editorial board. However, the Oz campaign brings up legitimate voter concerns. "The Republican’s antics have given Mr. Fetterman...

Abstract. The 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine emphasises the role social media plays in modern day warfare, with conflict occurring in both the physical and information environments. There is a large body of work on identifying malicious cyber-activity, but less focusing on the effect this activity has on the overall conversation, especially with regards to the Russia/Ukraine Conflict. Here, we employ a variety of techniques including information theoretic measures, sentiment and linguistic analysis, and time series techniques to understand how bot activity influences wider online discourse. By aggregating account groups we find significant information flows from bot-like accounts to non-bot...

‘They just ghosted her and she didn’t know what to do’: Subway worker, other customers pretend ‘Karen’ customer isn’t there after she’s rude

"You're All I Need to Get By" is a song recorded by the American R&B/soul duo Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell and released on Motown Records' Tamla label in 1968. Written by Nickolas Ashford & Valerie Simpson, it became one of the few Motown recordings of the 1960s that was not recorded with the familiar "Motown sound". Instead, "You're All I Need to Get By" had a more soulful and gospel-oriented theme surrounding it, that was influenced by the writers, who also sing background vocals on the recording. During moments in the recording, Gaye can be heard encouraging Terrell...

In Witness to Hope, his magisterial biography of Saint Pope John Paul II, George Weigel describes an incredible scene about art in defiance of tyranny involving the young future pope in 1941. Karol Wojtyla, then 21, had founded the Rhapsodic Theater, part of the Polish Cultural Resistance under German occupation. In Gift and Mystery, Pope John Paul wrote, “it was essential to keep these theatrical get-togethers secret; otherwise we risked serious punishment from the occupying forces, even deportation to the concentration camps.” The company had over 100 rehearsals and 22 performances of seven plays. At one point when the company...

"NCIS" alum Pauley Perrette opened up to fans about overcoming a "massive stroke" that she suffered one year ago and how she is celebrating being alive. "One year ago I had a massive stoke," the actress shared in a Twitter post. "Before that I lost so many beloved family and friends, And daddy And then Cousin Wayne Yet still a survivor after this traumatic life I’ve been given so far… And still so grateful, Still so full of faith, And STILL HERE!"

After Joe Biden's disgraceful speech last week —the worst and most deliberately provocative bully pulpit address in American history—many people have finally woken up to the very real threat threat of Leftist fascism (historically, there is no other kind) and its burning desire for civil war, and have begun asking themselves: what if this idiot is serious?That Biden is, in fact, an idiot, is beyond dispute. For more than half a century this thoroughly nasty piece of work has been bullying, blustering, bragging, plagiarizing, insulting, sliming, and attacking his political enemies—which now apparently include anyone who opposes him and his...

When news correspondent Peter Doocy questioned Joe Biden in late August about how much notice he had regarding the FBI raid on President Trump’s home, Biden responded that he was not given notice. Question: “Mr. President, how much advanced notice did you have of the FBI’s plan to search Mar-a-Lago?“ Biden: “I didn’t have any advanced notice. None, zero, not one single bit.” White House Press Secretary Jean-Pierre was also questioned about the White House and Biden’s foreknowledge of the raid on Mar-A-Lago. When asked if he was aware of a search warrant or briefed on one, She definitively said,...

Can we build a wall between California and the rest of the country? If you live in California, I’m sorry, but also, why? I get more annoyed by California and their government every day, and today is no exception. California is now on their way to becoming a sanctuary state for transgender youth. SB-107 was approved by the California Senate last week and is now on its way to Gavin Newsom’s desk. This bill prohibits out of state authorities from acting on subpoenas, warrants, or child custody issues. It would also prohibit “a provider of health care, a health care...

In 2022 many American conservatives are in a state of acute anxiety, convinced that they are under siege as never before and that they are losing. Across the nation, the commanding heights of the federal bureaucracy, the news media, the entertainment industry, Big Tech, and the educational system from preschool to graduate school are dominated by people who seem increasingly hostile to conservative beliefs. In social media and elsewhere, identity politics and the ideology of “wokeism” appear to reign supreme, and a censorious left-wing “cancel culture” operates with virtual impunity. Adding to the sense of conservative vulnerability is the declining...

Fifty-six percent of general election voters view President Joe Biden’s speech, where he cast Republicans as “threats to the foundations of our republic,” as unacceptable, a Tuesday Trafalgar Group poll found. The poll asked respondents, “What is your opinion of President Biden’s recent primetime address to the nation in which he accused his political opponents of representing ‘an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic’?”
