Why are the Swedes busy hiding the results of their investigation of the bombing of the Nordstream 2 pipeline which they have completed? The Dementia Joe Mafia Crime Family and Gestapo FBI putting pressure on Sweden not to release the results of the investigation and protect Dementia Joe and the Dems before the November elections? Probably.

I publish this to celebrate the beauty and vitality of freedom and in homage to the wisdom of Herbert Hoover as we near the end of the 58th anniversary of his death in 1964.

The library was abruptly closed on Sept. 23 and has only offered “to-go” services since then. “The temporary closure was necessary to address security staffing levels and specialized library staff training,” the City of Long Beach said in a news release. “With Main Library being a high-volume facility in the city’s downtown core, combined with the state of mental health challenges that many are experiencing locally and throughout the country, it was apparent that in order to effectively conduct library business and provide a positive and inspiring environment for all who entered the doors, a new plan needed to be...

The FBI Agents Association bills itself as “dedicated to advancing and safeguarding the careers, economic interests, conditions of employment and welfare of FBI agents and retired FBI agents.” Founded in 1981, the nonprofit boasts 14,000 members — including 90% of the current agent workforce — and once enjoyed almost universal appeal and respect among them. Once. With outrageous, political decisions by its board, it has sullied itself just as James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page and Kevin Clinesmith annihilated the top law-enforcement agency’s reputation during the 2016 Russiagate hoax. FBI executive management lauded on-duty agents who knelt before...

A member of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s inner circle of advisors threatened this week that Moscow is ready to sever diplomatic ties with Israel. The threat came via former Russian President Dmitri Medvedev who publicly warned that any Israeli effort to supply arms to Ukraine will “destroy all diplomatic relations between our countries.” “Israel appears to be getting ready to supply weapons to the Kyiv regime,” Medvedev wrote Tuesday on Telegram, the social media platform. “A very reckless move,” he wrote. “It would destroy all bilateral relations between our countries.” Medvedev is currently the deputy head of the Russian Security...

JP Morgan Chase & Co reportedly canceled the account of a religious nonprofit organization for unexplained reasons, and said it would only reconsider the decision if the group provided its donor list, and a list of political candidates it intended to support. The National Committee for Religious Freedom (NCRF) launched on January 18, 2022 “to defend religious freedom for all Americans and all their religious communities by supporting political candidates at the local, state, and national levels—regardless of party affiliation—who support the free exercise of religion,” according to its website. “Religious freedom is a cornerstone of America’s constitutional democracy and...

The polls are showing the Red Wave is a real thing. Dems are in panic mode.

New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham performed a cringe-worthy dance on stage Saturday at a pro-abortion rally celebrating her record of supporting abortion on demand. Elisa Martinez, founder of the New Mexico Alliance for Life, shared a video clip on Twitter that shows the Democrat governor and other abortion activists dancing at the outdoor event in Las Cruces. “What did I just watch? Oh – New Mexico’s Abortion Governor hopping around about killing innocent babies up to birth,” Martinez wrote. According to the Las Cruces Sun News, Grisham, who is up for re-election, was joined by two leading abortion activists:...

We're on her side! If you've taken a few flights in your life, there's a good chance that at some point, another passenger has asked to switch seats with you. Sometimes, it's totally worth it to sit somewhere else so a family can be together. Other times — when it would mean leaving a truly amazing seat in first class — it makes sense to say no way. In a video she shared on TikTok, @maresasd explained that she was asked to move from her first class seat on a plane. And honestly, her response is something a lot of...

On this date in 1526, Bianca Maria Gaspardone was beheaded at Milan’s Castello di Porta Giova, the present-day Castello Sforzesco. She was only about 26 years old, but onto her second* dynastic marriage — this to Renato di Challant. As the story was later recorded in Matteo Bandello‘s Novelle,** the young woman had wealth and options, and with her husband off fighting in Milan’s war against France, she indulged a series of boudoir intrigues — critically for our purposes, one Ardizzino Valperga, Count of Masino. Per Bandello, the Lady of Challant grew annoyed by him and tried to dispose of...

By Tuesday evening, the claim was being repeated by the nation's most popular cable news show, and had been amplified to millions more on social media online. "The CDC is about to add the Covid vaccine to the childhood immunization schedule, which would make the vax mandatory for kids to attend school," host Tucker Carlson tweeted, sharing a segment from his show that has been viewed more than 1.5 million times online. But...

Scores of respected generals and admirals — including former national security advisers Marine Gen. James Jones and Army Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn — were among those cashing six and seven-figure checks for the work, according to a bombshell report from the Washington Post, which published the findings Tuesday after suing all branches of the military and the State Department for a trove of personnel documents in a prolonged court fight. Fifteen of the former top military officials have done consulting work for Saudi Arabia’s Defense Ministry, led by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, since 2016, according to the report... Jones,...

Authorities on Wednesday seized thousands of suspected fentanyl pills hidden in candy boxes at Los Angeles International Airport. Someone tried to go through security screening with some snacks and bags of candy at about 7:30 a.m., the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said in a statement.

Since October 6, Lebanon has recorded 169 cholera cases, almost half of them in the past two days, according to the health ministry. Syrian refugees, health officials “have started to notice an increase in cases among the Lebanese”. “Cases are no longer confined to camps bordering Syria, but they’ve since spread to poor areas where drinking water is widely polluted and at times, mixed with wastewater.” Cholera is generally contracted from contaminated food or water, and causes diarrhoea and vomiting. It can also spread in residential areas that lack proper sewage networks or drinking water from mains. Abiad said that...
