Two years ago, candidate Joe Biden loudly denounced President Donald Trump for immigration policies that inflicted “cruelty and exclusion at every turn,” including toward those fleeing the "brutal" government of socialist Nicolas Maduro in Venezuela.Now, with increasing numbers of Venezuelans arriving at the U.S.-Mexico border as the Nov. 8 election nears, Biden has turned to an unlikely source for a solution: his predecessor’s playbook.Biden last week invoked a Trump-era rule known as Title 42 -- which Biden's own Justice Department is fighting in court — to deny Venezuelans fleeing their crisis-torn country the chance to request asylum at the border.The...

Tenants and advocates across the country are begging the federal government to implement a permanent rental assistance program and permanent eviction protections.

The Business Roundtable—an association of America's leading CEOs—committed itself in 2019 to "modernizing its principles on the role of a corporation." In the past, the group explained, it held that "corporations exist principally to serve their shareholders." But "it has become clear that this language on corporate purpose does not accurately describe the ways in which we and our fellow CEOs endeavor every day to create value for all our stakeholders, whose long-term interests are inseparable."That term—stakeholder—represents a significant shift. But it did not emerge from nowhere. There is an entire historical and political apparatus underlying it that has led...

As we reported on October 4, Eugene Yu, a Chinese immigrant and CEO of Konnech, an election software company, was arrested “as part of an investigation into the possible theft of personal identifying information of [Los Angeles County election] workers,” which officials believed “was stored on servers in the People’s Republic of China.” The other shocking part of the story was that LA County District Attorney George Gascon, who’s not known as being tough on crime, announced the arrest and extradition and that investigators from his office had been working on the case. One of Konnech’s software offerings is a...

MSNBC host Tiffany Cross went on a crude rant against Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and his wife Ginni Thomas. During a segment on The Cross Connection, Cross began by going after conservative TV personality Megyn Kelly, calling her a “problematic white woman.” "Yeah, it must be déja vu. Either that or I’m catching body number two," Cross said referring to Kelly, adding “which brings me to another problematic white woman who warrants some attention this week: Clarence Thomas. On this very day in 1991, 'Justice Pubic Hair on my Coke Can' was confirmed to the Supreme Court, and even...

The Swedish Democrats, an insurgent far-right party, has suspended one of their lawmakers from her post in the party and their TV station, according to the Swedish paper Aftonbladet, after she sexualised Anne Frank’s diary, dubbing the Holocaust victim as “immoral” in an Instagram post. The newly-elected Rebecka Fallenkvist posted a picture of Anne Frank’s The Diary of a Young Girl, one of the most widely read books about the Holocaust, saying that “50 pages in and so far Anne Frank has only struck me as immoral. Horniness itself.” After the Swedish Democrats secured 11 seats to become the Riksgag’s...

“Denial is not just a river in Africa.” Those sage words from SNL character Stuart Smalley seemed prophetic this week as ex-MSNBC boss Phil Griffin and ex-CNN boss Jeff Zucker were confronted about their burying of the Hunter Biden story. Their tortured and transparent rationalizations caused an immediate response from some of us who have written about the scandal since its inception. That included Griffin’s almost laughable claim that their approach before the election was justified because “he was never arrested.” Zucker and Griffin were in full spin mode in explaining why they did not believe that it was simply...

Video of the late Senator John McCain (R-AZ) saying that Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) was working for Russian President Vladimir Putin has garnered renewed attention online after Paul single-handedly blocked a vote on a new aid package to Ukraine on Thursday. A C-SPAN video of McCain's remarks in 2017 was shared to Twitter on Thursday by patient advocate Peter Morley, Democratic strategist Adam Parkhomenko and other social media users. "So I repeat again - the senator from Kentucky is now working for Vladimir Putin," the late senator said in the short video. In the clip, McCain was discussing NATO membership...

I asked Republican candidate for California Governor Brian Dahle: 1. How would you solve the crime problem in California?"By getting rid of the revolving door in California. When there's no punishment of criminals, crime skyrockets. This is not really surprising.” He added, “We were sold Proposition 47 as "the Safe Schools and Neighborhood Act.” But releasing criminals early did not make neighborhoods safer. “We have seen a 40% increase in murder in California in two years, since the release mandated by Proposition 47.” 2. What is the solution to California's water problem?“There's plenty of Water in California, but we don't...

JPMorgan Chase & Co has canceled the account of the National Committee for Religious Freedom (NCRF). While giving no specific reason for its action, the bank said it would reconsider its decision if NCRF provides its donor list, and a list of political candidates it intends to support. NCRF's founder Sam Brownback said "we started the organization in January of this year to defend religious freedom by providing a critically needed political response to the ongoing attacks, in law and culture, on America's First Freedom. The recent action by Chase illustrates why an organization like ours is needed now more...

Activists poured milk out in a grocery store in Edinburgh, Scotland, and other locations across the United Kingdom, on Saturday, October 15, as a part of a climate protest organized by the Animal Rebellion group. The environmental organization, with the goal of “transitioning to a plant-based food system,” said that “dairy, like all forms of animal farming, is an incredibly wasteful and destructive industry, and a major contributor to the climate crisis that is currently threatening all life on Earth.” Video filmed by Animal Rebellion on Saturday shows people dumping bottles of milk onto the floor in an Edinburgh Waitrose...

The Russian military continues to lose ground in Kherson. Damage to the Crimean Bridge turns out to be more extensive than initially reported. Russia is also getting very creative and desperate to find Russian men to mobilize, including lawyers and musicians.

As we march fearfully into a woke future, if a man can also be a woman, why can’t a human also be an animal? What began as a sexual fetish subculture in the U.S. in the 19070s and 80s is now moving mainstream. After all, if you can choose your gender, or choose none at all, despite being born male or female, why wouldn’t you be able to choose to live as something other than human? According to newspaper reports in Australia and a German video from AUF 1 Productions, the furry fetish is picking up steam in the mainstream...

Incoming medical students at the University of Minnesota were forced to give a pledge vowing to 'honor all Indigenous ways of healing,' including those that have been 'historically marginalized by Western medicine.' The students also pledged to fight 'white supremacy, colonialism [and] the gender binary' at the school's white coat ceremony on August 19. In a video from the ceremony, Dr Robert Englander — the associate dean for undergraduate education — could be heard reading the pledge to the new students, donning their new doctor's coats.

In 1978, John Todd testified to an audience at the Elkton Maryland Baptist Church about six letters he had read which had been couriered from London. The letters were sealed and delivered to a meeting of the Grand Druids he hosted in 1972 in San Antonio. In one of those letters was a chart – an 8-year plan for a step-by-step world takeover. I have not seen one thing fail or be delayed on that time chart, he said. But “I’m not saying that it won’t be delayed.” What he exposed of the chart during this testimony may have relevance...

The government on Monday will begin allowing pharmacies and big-box stores to sell hearing aids without prescriptions, a move that is expected to shake up an industry that has long been dominated by a handful of manufacturers under a model of care that critics said raised costs and stifled innovation. Backers of the change say the move to over-the-counter hearing aid sales will usher in a revolution of lower prices and new technologies, and expand access for millions of people with untreated hearing loss. But while the shift holds the promise of improving the lives of millions of people who...

Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that he did not accept the Biden administration and Democrats in Congress spending as a reason for inflation. Anchor Chuck Todd said, “Do you accept the criticism the American Rescue Plan in 2021 contributed to inflation issue we’re dealing with right now.” Sanders said, “No, I don’t. Inflation, I’m sure you know, Chuck is an international problem. In Germany, it is 10%. U.K., it is 10%. Canada it is 7% inflation globally is caused by the pandemic and the break in supply chains. It is caused by, in my...
