The Chris Jones sack of Derek Carr takes the leadAs football fans, thought nothing could top the roughing the passer penalty called on Grady Jarrett during his fourth-quarter sack of Tom Brady during Sunday’s game between the Atlanta Falcons and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. We were wrong. During Monday night’s game between the Las Vegas Raiders and the Kansas City Chiefs, defensive tackle Chris Jones accomplished something that in over three decades of watching football I did not think was possible. Commit a roughing the passer penalty while holding the football: Jones breaks around the edge and tracks Derek...

The older half-brother of slain 6-year-old JonBenét Ramsey has renewed criticism of Boulder police for not solving his sister’s 25-year-old murder case. “Damn shame @boulderpolice refused the help of the much more experienced Denver PD. #jonbenetramsey,” John Andrew Ramsey tweeted on Oct. 5, alongside a link to an article detailing the Denver Police Department’s recent arrest in connection to a 2004 sex assault. John Andrew was 23 years old when JonBenét was reported missing from her Boulder home on the morning of Dec. 26, 1996.

resident Joe Biden will hold a fundraiser with Democratic Senate candidate John Fetterman in Philadelphia next week to boost his campaign in a tight and closely watched Senate race that could determine control of the chamber. The Oct. 20 fundraiser in Philadelphia comes days after Senate fundraising reports are due in a race that has tightened with just four and a half weeks to go. Biden hasn’t done much public campaigning for midterm candidates but has hosted several fundraisers to bring in money for Democrats who he hopes can mount a challenge from Republicans for control of Congress.

A New York-based CNN commentator was slammed by Twitter users after he appeared to mock people’s concerns and national media coverage of New York City subway crimes. “Going home on the violent NYC subways. Riders paralyzed with fright,” NY1 anchor and CNN political commentator Errol Louis tweeted Monday night, alongside a video taken from inside the 14th Street MTA Subway. The video showed an uncrowded subway station, with people standing patiently by the tracks, a man crouched down with his young son, and another man casually playing a trumpet.

An alleged member of the neon-cloaked “Green Goblin” gang accused of pummeling two 19-year-old women on a Times Square subway train was released without bail Tuesday — with her lawyer insisting she didn’t do anything wrong. Mariam Issouf, 26, was cut loose on supervised release after being arraigned on a second-degree robbery charge in the Oct. 2 caught-on-video assault — one day after she turned herself in to cops with her defense attorney at her side. “She did nothing wrong,” lawyer John Russo claimed as he walked out of court with Issouf — who covered her head with a leather...

I really tried to like this guy. He is just a hot mess. He refuses to use a filter for his mic so half his sentences sound like walrus farts. He is constantly pretending the 'lefties' are astounded at his brilliance (hot take, they're not) . He is dangerously naive about that. He is constantly shouting to the audience to 'kiss my ass.' His topics are usually old or cribbed from Tucker. His life experience is not as interesting as he thinks it is. The good news is his contract with Cumulus expires soon and will not be renewed. Lord...

Tom Cruise will “hopefully” become “the first civilian to do a spacewalk” outside of the International Space Station when he blasts off to space to shoot a new action movie with director Doug Liman. Donna Langley, the head of Universal Pictures, teased as much during a recent BBC interview. Universal is backing the Cruise space project, which reportedly carries a budget in the $200 million range. While it was already known the movie would shoot scenes on the ISS, Langley said the plan is to also have Cruise perform a spacewalk. “Tom Cruise is taking us to space. He’s taking...

Despite passing an executive order mandating that military members be treated according to their gender identity and not their biological sex, the Biden administration still requires biological men who identify as women to register for the military draft, while those who are "born female and have changed their gender to male" are off the hook. The Selective Service tweeted a reminder recently telling parents that even "if your son is an only son and the last male in your family to carry the family name, he is still required to register with SSS."

The president of a North Carolina historically black university on Monday publicly called out Upstate South Carolina law enforcement officers after a traffic stop involving students and staff on a bus. In a statement, Paulette Dillard, president of Shaw University, a private Baptist historically black university in Raleigh, described the traffic stop that she said happened in Spartanburg County on Oct. 5. Dillard said 18 Shaw University students and two staff advisers were traveling on school business by contract bus to Atlanta when they were pulled over "under the pretext of a minor traffic violation." The statement said officers boarded...

PHOENIX, AZ –Democrat nominee for governor in Arizona, Secretary of State Katie Hobbs, finds herself amid another race controversy as she was a “student leader” during her high school days “when pupils took part in a yearly tradition known as ‘Slave Day,'” according to a report Monday.Breitbart News reached out to multiple members of the “Republicans for Katie Hobbs” coalition, who stumped for Hobbs in Paradise Valley Sunday, to see if they still support Hobbs, but only one responded to a comment request. Former Scottsdale Mayor Sam Campana reaffirmed her support for the Democrat in the wake of the Daily...

President Barack Obama described his political opponents as angry, racist, and sexist during a private conversation with some of Europe’s elites this summer, according to a newly revealed transcript. “Sometimes it just turns out they’re mean, they’re racist, they’re sexist, they’re angry,” Obama said. “And your job is then to just beat them because they’re not persuadable.” Obama offered his candid advice privately to European leaders in June after speaking publicly at the Copenhagen Democracy Summit in June. But he also warned attendees away from sometimes getting too “filled up in our own self-righteousness.” “We’re so convinced that we’re right...

In January 2017, signs appeared throughout yuppie Brooklyn. In the windows of cafés and shops, a man with pleading eyes and a baby in his coat stared at us with the words “Refugees welcome here.” What did it mean? That refugees could also come and buy the $7 lattes that the brownstone set were buying? Like most people who put signs in windows, the Brooklynites didn’t actually mean it. Refugees were welcome here because it was a poke in the eye to Trump, who wanted to build a wall and make Mexico pay for it, not because refugees could actually...

Last week, the U.S. Justice Department indicted 11 more pro-life activists after alleging they “blocked access” to an abortion clinic in Tennessee as part of a protest last spring. Video footage that recently surfaced on social media shows multiple heavily armed agents purportedly hauling away Paul Vaughn, a 55-year-old man charged in relation to the protests. In the video, a woman can be heard pleading with the agents to answer her questions, which included a query about why the agents were “banging on my door with a gun.” VIDEO AT LINK.................... “You’re not going to tell me anything?” the woman...

For millions of vaxx-nannies around the world, this bombshell admission will shake their worldviews. For those of us who have avoided the jabs at all costs, it will just reaffirm what we’ve suspected all along. During European Parliamentary hearings, a Director for Pfizer admitted the Covid-19 “vaccines” were NOT tested for stopping transmission before they were released to the public. This makes sense since it has been known for a while that experimental injections do not prevent the spread of the coronavirus. Now we have confirmation that Big Pharma knew this before their puppets in government and corporate media began...

'What happens when they start de-banking pastors and Christian business people?' A nonpartisan, faith-based nonprofit organization led by a former United States Ambassador for religious freedom says its Chase bank account was abruptly closed with little explanation. The National Committee for Religious Freedom (NCRF), a 501(c)4 political action nonprofit whose stated mission is focused on “defending the right of everyone in America to live one's faith freely,” opened an account with Chase in April. Sam Brownback, NCRF chairman and former U.S. ambassador-at-large for international religious freedom under the Trump administration, wrote in a piece published by The Christian Post that...

There seems to be a major undertaking by John Fetterman’s Senate campaign to make the candidate appear softer than what’s currently put out by his Elephant Man aura. The attempt climaxed this week with an exhausting profile in New York Magazine that would leave readers wondering — is Fetterman coming out as transgender? Seriously. That’s how hard the 5,000-word feature and its author, Rebecca Traister, worked to turn this hulking meat sack of a Pennsylvania Democrat into something resembling a soft touch. A recurring theme throughout the piece is that Fetterman’s opponent, Republican candidate Mehmet Oz, has aggressively and unfairly...

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) will not release its review of post-COVID-19-vaccination heart inflammation. The CDC has been performing abstractions on reports of post-vaccination myocarditis, a form of heart inflammation, submitted to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System. But the agency is saying that federal law prevents it from releasing the results. The abstractions “are considered medical records which are withheld in full from disclosure,” the CDC told The Epoch Times in a recent letter, responding to a Freedom of Information Act request. One of the exemptions in the act says that agencies can withhold materials...

He...

The Lincoln Project, which consisted of never Trumpers who opposed Trump in 2020, was widely supported by much of the media. However, the Lincoln Project's reputation has fallen so low due to financial and sex scandals that even Politico is now portraying its leaders as a bunch of greedy grifters in its review of a Showtime documentary about that organization.Of course, it would have been nice if Politico had been as candid about the Lincoln Project back in 2020 instead of waiting until after that election was safely in the rear-view mirror. You get a sense of this new attitude...

A suspected member of the 'Green Goblin' gang of female thieves that robbed and terrorized two teens on the New York subway has been arrested after she turned herself in. Mariam Issouf, 26, of Queens, gave herself up on Monday afternoon after she had been identified by police on Friday as one of the suspects in the horrifying attack. **** Emily Soto, 34, Ciante Alston and Dariana Peguero, both 26, have also been named as alleged members of the gang.
