VIDEO AT LINK....................... Andrés Muñoz of the Seattle Mariners threw a nasty 103-mile-per-hour fastball during a playoff game Friday against the Toronto Blue Jays. The opposing batter was Toronto’s Vlad Guerrero, Jr., and even he was blown away by how fast the pitch was thrown. Guerrero could be seen shaking his head in awe at it. Muñoz’ throw was the fastest pitch heaved during the MLB playoffs in five years, Codify reported. The 103 mph heater was indicative of how the first game of the American League Wild Card series would wind up going. The Seattle pitching duo of Luis...

CNN’s in-house Biden spokesman Jake Tapper had a dyspeptic episode over pesky GOPers who claim Big Tech “rigged” the 2020 election by censoring one of the most important stories in recent years. The CNN anchor piggybacked on a so-called Washington Post “exclusive” in a ridiculous attempt to cast Big Tech platforms like Twitter that censored the Hunter Biden laptop scandal as having a negligible effect on the 2020 election. As if questioning is somehow a bad thing, he whined on the Oct. 7 edition of CNN’s The Lead how GOP “questioners” ripping Big Tech for censoring the New York Post...

On August 28, 2022, in Utica, New York, the Attorney General’s office of Letitia James paid out over $21,000 in gift cards for 3D printed “ghost guns.” The guns were printed by an anonymous entrepreneur on a $200 printer he received for Christmas. Letitia James took credit for the “buyback” of “ghost guns” at Utica. “Buyback” is an Orwellian term. The guns which are turned in were never owned by the government. The AG did not mention the mass purchase of 3D printed guns, although they mentioned 177 “ghost guns.” From ag.ny.gov:NEW YORK – New York Attorney General Letitia James...

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Monday people were killed and injured in multiple missile strikes on cities across Ukraine, including the first bombardment of the capital in months. CBS News senior foreign correspondent Charlie D'Agata said the strikes, which could signal a major escalation in the eight-month-old war, appeared to be entirely punitive — retaliation meant to terrorize Ukrainian civilians in densely-populated urban neighborhoods, close to government buildings, with one even hitting a children's playground. Ukraine's national police later said at least 10 people were killed and about 60 others injured by the missile strikes early Monday morning. Russia's strongman leader...

Gov. Newsom has the temerity to ask why, and is making grotesque accusations.
