Pointing out the Truth about Democrats gets you threats of lawsuits. (We know this well at The Gateway Pundit!) Three Seattle-based far-left companies including the Seattle Times are demanding GOP Senate Candidate Tiffany Smiley stop using them in her ads on Democrat failures and lawlessness. Tiffany Smiley cut an ad showing a shuttered Starbucks coffee shop in downtown Seattle. The city is so violent and lawless under Democrat rule that even Starbucks had to shut down in the city. It’s a great ad. The truth hurts. The Seattle Times is threatening Tiffany Smiley for using an image from their report...

Billionaire investor Stanley Druckenmiller said he would be shocked if there is not a recession in 2023 and predicted a hard landing at CNBC’s Delivering Alpha Investor Summit in New York City Wednesday. According to CNBC, Druckenmiller said he believes the Federal Reserve’s attempt to quickly unwind the excesses it helped build up for a decade with easy monetary policy will not end well for the U.S. economy. "So our central case is a hard landing by the end of '23," Druckenmiller told CNBC host Joe Kernen. "But I don't know, I've been wrong on a lot of things. I...

Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Administrator Deanne Criswell responded to Kamala Harris saying that Hurricane Ian relief will prioritize “communities of color” during an appearance on Sunday’s episode of Face the Nation. Harris has faced massive backlash for her racist promise, which was made while speaking to far-left activist and actress Priyanka Chopra during the women’s leadership forum in Washington, D.C. on Friday. “It is our lowest income communities and our communities of color that are most impacted by these extreme conditions and impacted by issues that are not of their own making,” Harris said. “And so we have to...

On his MSNBC Sunday show, Capehart had on Beto O'Rourke. After losing to Ted Cruz in a senatorial run, then flaming out early in the 2020 Democrat presidential primary, O'Rourke is poised to make it a trifecta of failures, as he trails Gov. Greg Abbott badly in the Texas gubernatorial race. So, in his closing statement in the segment, an apparently desperate O'Rourke dug deep in his slimebag, and emerged with this foul accusation. "We have more school shootings than any other state because these kids are defenselss, not just against people with AR-15s, but a governor who will do...

Annie Samples is a 36-year-old content creator, copywriter, and mother who lives in Denmark with her husband and four kids. Annie is American, but she and her family moved to Denmark a little over three years ago when the design company her husband works for opened an office there. I found out about Annie through a video she made that went viral on TikTok. In the video — which now has over 13 million views on the platform — Annie discusses the Danish practice of letting babies sleep alone outside in their strollers. https://www.tiktok.com/@annieineventyrland/video/7147957022116318470I decided to reach out to Annie...

CNN — Former President Barack Obama painted a grim picture of the GOP at two California fundraisers this week, according to excerpts provided to CNN, warning Democrats that Republicans could oversee “a lot of mischief” if they win the House in the November midterm elections. The speeches, one at a fundraiser for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee on Wednesday in San Diego and another for the Democratic National Committee on Thursday in San Francisco, are the latest in a string of fundraisers Obama has headlined for top Democratic groups as the former President gets more engaged with the midterms.

“The Germans were warned in summer by the CIA about a possible attack scenario on the Nord Stream pipelines. US Intelligence claimed to have intercepted Russian communications in which concerns were expressed about possible Ukrainian attacks on Western infrastructure. The Ukrainians allegedly tried to rent a boat in Sweden for this purpose.”

— Anthony Grande moved away from Fort Myers three years ago in large part because of the hurricane risk. He has lived in southwest Florida for nearly 19 years, had experienced Hurricanes Charley in 2004 and Irma in 2017 and saw what stronger storms could do to the coast. Grande told CNN he wanted to find a new home where developers prioritized climate resiliency in a state that is increasingly vulnerable to record-breaking storm surge, catastrophic wind and historic rainfall. What he found was Babcock Ranch — only 12 miles northeast of Fort Myers, yet seemingly light years away. Babcock...

y columns have turned rather apocalyptic of late, but for a valid reason. Just this week, we got confirmation that our financial system is, again, at the brink of collapse, when the Bank of England (BoE) was forced to enact, de facto, a bailout of the pension funds of the United Kingdom. On Sept. 28, around noon, the Bank of England stepped (back) into the Gilt markets and start buying government bonds with longer maturities to stop the collapse in their value which could have caused the financial system to become unhinged. Pension funds were faced with major margin calls,...

Pedro Rodriguez, 36, has been charged with grand theft and burglary, police say. Miami Police PIO said the naked Donald Trump statue has been returned and is in its owner’s possession.

Intravenous treatment with omega-3 fatty acids in elderly hospitalized patients in intensive care due to COVID-19 seems to have positive effects on the ability of the immune system to cope with the virus, according to a study. In patients with COVID-19, a result of infection with the SARS-CoV-2 virus, the immune system and the body's activation of white blood cells are over-activated. It can lead to a so-called systemic inflammatory storm, which worsens the disease state and can cause complications such as sepsis and heart failure. Researchers have now shown that omega-3 fatty acids can stimulate active healing of inflammation,...

The conditions are right for confession. It is a beautiful August day in Montecito, in a beautiful sitting room, in a beautiful home. Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, a lively 3-year-old with a shock of ginger curls identical to his father’s, toddles into the room demanding “Momma” listen to his heartbeat with a wooden toy stethoscope. He stands, tummy protruding, while his mother, Meghan, convincingly performs her glee at hearing the thump-thump, thump-thump in his chest. Archie giggles and, satisfied, toddles right back out again. Meghan, relaxing in a cozy chair, gazes over all that is climate-controlled and high-ceilinged and sun-dappled and...

Suicide is one of the leading causes of death in the US. Experts recommend many strategies and treatments to decrease the risk of suicide. Few would put folic acid supplements on that list. The study found patients who filled prescriptions for folic acid, also known as vitamin B9, experienced a 44% reduction in suicidal events (suicide attempts and intentional self-harm). Robert Gibbons, Ph.D. became interested in folic acid in the context of suicide because of a previous study between risk of attempting suicide and 922 different prescribed drugs. The study simultaneously screened each drug for associations with suicide attempts. Surprisingly,...

Blasting President Joe Biden's inflation and open border, former President Donald Trump vowed at his Save America rally in Warren, Michigan, on Saturday night to continue his "mission to restore the republic to greatness.""No matter what the left-wing tyrants throw at us, no matter what they do to us, we have no choice, we have to keep on going," Trump told his rally at Macomb Community College, which aired live on Newsmax. "We have to keep on fighting because we are on a mission to restore the republic to greatness."We're on a mission to bring it back, and it's really...

The market for government debt of big, rich countries like the United States and United Kingdom is, famously, supposed to be the deepest and most liquid on earth. They are the bedrock of the world financial system; bond prices aren't supposed to bounce around like a penny stock. That hasn't really applied in recent days, particularly in Britain. Bond prices are careening around wildly, in ways that indicate serious strains in the global financial system. Why it matters: Government debt markets are showing signs of the kinds of turbulence and lack of liquidity that, should it persist, will make all...

Far-left Portland city council member @JoAnnPDX, who blames Portland's violent decline on white supremacy, was asked by Portland's left wing newspaper "Willamette Week" about the city's surging gun violence. She struggled to answer. She is polling double digits behind challenger Rene Gonzalez

A woman who moved to Portland, Oregon, for its leftist values was offended by the mayor’s reaction on Wednesday when speaking about the city’s homeless problem. Gillian Rose shared criticisms during a virtual city council meeting and said the encampments all over the city were a huge problem for everyone, the Daily Mail reported Saturday.

Marjorie Taylor Greene spoke at a rally for Donald Trump in Michigan on Saturday night. A video shows her accusing Democrats of murdering Republicans, saying the "killings" have already begun. She referenced two local stories, neither of which appear to back the claim that Republicans are being hunted down. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene deceptively claimed at a rally for former President Donald Trump in Warren, Michigan, on Saturday that Democrats are murdering Republicans. "I'm not going to mince words with you all," Greene said. "Democrats want Republicans dead. They've already started the killings." Greene, who has repeatedly spread bizarre conspiracy...

The Guardian is upset that Giorgia Meloni, very likely set to become Italy’s first woman prime minister, is opposed to gender quotas and “sexualised” herself during the election. In an article harping on the fact that the national conservative leader “posted [a] sexualised clip of herself during [the] election campaign, favours curbs on abortion and is against ‘pink quotas’” by Rome correspondent Angela Giuffrida, the British newspaper appeared irate that she believed “roles should be achieved through merit, not gender”. The “sexualised” video — a joke social media post uploaded after electioneering was officially closed of a fully-clothed Meloni holding...
