A new report by the Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund confirms that George Soros and his groups helped elect 75 prosecutors to support his far left progressive anti-police, social justice policies, and many of those are in cities where crime is surging. Not surprising, Colorado made the map. Jason Johnson, president of the group, told the Washington Examiner: “Soros is using that campaign money and the hundreds of millions more for supporting organizations to quietly transform the criminal justice system for the worse, promoting dangerous policies and anti-police narratives to advance his radical agenda,” said Johnson. He added, “Over the...

Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) said on Monday that she remains intent on finishing out her term in the Senate and will decide this spring on whether to call it quits in 2024. “Yes. Absolutely,” she told the Los Angeles Times about finishing her term. “There’s still two years, you know. A lot can happen in two years.” Feinstein, 89, is the oldest member of the upper chamber and speculation has run rampant since her 2018 win over when she would retire, with questions mounting in recent years about her mental acuity and fitness to serve. Her latest remarks, health permitting,...

For 20 years, golf had been wilting in the heat of South Florida. As aging players gave up the sport and younger people sought recreation elsewhere, the area’s grand, lush courses and the planned communities surrounding them — many built by overly optimistic entrepreneurs — struggled. Dozens of courses closed. Not to worry: The Biden administration is coming to the rescue. The town of Palm Beach Gardens is using $2 million in federal money from President Biden’s $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) to build a $16 million public course, with a two-story clubhouse and driving range that should...

On Tuesday, scientists from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, in California are expected to announce that they have achieved the “holy grail” of getting more energy out of a fusion reaction than it took to trigger it. The team reportedly used 2.1 megajoules of energy to create the conditions for the reaction, and achieved a 2.5 megajoules return – an achievement known as fusion ignition.

Several internet safety experts said that Musk’s comments put Roth at grave risk. Roth, who is openly gay, worked past Musk’s October takeover. He then resigned and said Musk’s hands-off approach to moderation was increasing danger to users. “He’s putting Yoel’s life in danger and he knows it,” tweeted Alejandra Caraballo, an instructor at Harvard Law School. Roth did not respond to a request for comment. In imputing nefarious motives to Twitter’s former managers and saying a crime had been committed, Musk adopted techniques used by the QAnon conspiracy movement, which falsely claims that Democrats and elites are running child...

HARRISBURG — Republicans inside and outside Pennsylvania government say that despite a disastrous midterm election, they don’t see signs that the party is shifting its electoral or governing strategies away from contentious social issues like restricting abortion. Some party insiders say that trend is a bad sign for GOP prospects. After losing marquee races for governor and U.S. Senate, as well as control of the state House (though for now that remains contested), Republicans in Harrisburg, particularly in the lower chamber, have seemed to resume their previous combative agenda with gusto. The week after the election, the House impeached Philadelphia’s...

(Daily readings from the USCCB)Jesus said to the chief priests and the elders of the people: “What is your opinion? A man had two sons. He came to the first and said, ‘Son, go out and work in the vineyard today.’ The son said in reply, ‘I will not,’ but afterwards he changed his mind and went. Matthew 21:28–29 This Gospel passage above is the first part of a two-part story. The first son says he will not go work in the vineyard but changes his mind and goes. The second son says he will go but does not go....

A federal appeals court has blocked the Biden administration from forcing Catholic doctors and hospitals from performing transgender surgeries, including on children. The 8th Circuit Court of Appeals, based in St. Louis, issued a unanimous ruling on Friday declaring that making Catholic surgeons...

Elon Musk’s Twitter Truth Squad is exposing the FBI’s role in suppressing free speech before the 2020 election. But the FBI was practically a bit player in a far greater federal conspiracy to censor any American who cast doubts on the mail-in ballots that made Joe Biden the 46th president. That conniving doesn’t mean the 2020 election was stolen. But the bureaucratic racketeering was a travesty of political fair play. The FBI pressured Twitter to target an Oct. 26, 2020, tweet from a former Republican official who wrote that “between 2% and 25% of Ballots by Mail are Being Rejected...

It’s unclear if he’ll have a speaking role, but the newly elected Democrat senator from Pennsylvania John Fetterman is set to make a cameo appearance in a new movie starring Christian Bale. The senator-elect made the announcement by posting a photo of himself and his wife, Gisele, dressed in full costume alongside Bale on the set of the 19th-century crime drama, The Pale Blue Eye, which was filmed in western Pennsylvania.

This list only includes destroyed vehicles and equipment of which photo or videographic evidence is available. Therefore, the amount of equipment destroyed is significantly higher than recorded here. Small arms, ATGMs, MANPADS, loitering munitions, drones used as unmanned bait, civilian vehicles, trailers and derelict equipment are not included in this list. All possible effort has gone into avoiding duplicate entries and discerning the status of equipment between captured or abandoned. Many of the entries listed as 'abandoned' will likely end up captured or destroyed. Similarly, some of the captured equipment might be destroyed if it can't be recovered. When the...

U.S. men's national team coach Gregg Berhalter reportedly almost sent midfielder Giovanni Reyna home from the 2022 World Cup due to a lack of effort in practice. Berhalter mentioned he almost sent home a player from the tournament last week. The player in question is Reyna, according to the Athletic. "In this last World Cup, we had a player that was clearly not meeting expectations on and off the field. One of 26 players, so it stood out. As a staff, we sat together for hours deliberating what we were going to do with this player. We were ready to...

A November slowdown in inflation could give consumers relief both from rising prices and rapidly rising interest rates. Consumer price index (CPI) data released Tuesday by the Labor Department still showed inflation near 40-year highs. But a slower pace of price growth may help Americans catch a break from more than a year of rapid inflation, all while giving the Federal Reserve room to hike interest rates at a slower pace. “Cooling inflation will boost the markets and take pressure off the Fed for raising rates, but most importantly this spells real relief starting for Americans whose finances have been...

Is inflation “gone in November”? Nope. Slowing, yes, but at 7.1% YoY and core inflation at 6.0% YoY, it is still considerably higher than The Fed’s target of 2%. And the American middle class and low wage workers are still suffering with REAL average hourly earnings growth at -1.9% YoY. The biggest losers in the inflation report for November? Food at home up 12% YoY, Fuel Oil up 65.7% YoY and “shelter” up 7.1% YoY. I call this the household bundle … of pain. Here are Joe Biden and The Federal Reserve doing a magic tricks by turning a great...

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 7.1% between November 2021 and November 2022, according to a Tuesday report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, showing that inflation has continued to slow amid harsh contractionary policy from the Federal Reserve. The month-to-month increase of 0.1% was below analysts’ forecasts, while core inflation, which factors out the more volatile food and energy categories, rose 0.2%. An increase in food prices of 0.5% and an increase in shelter prices of 0.6% contributed to the headline number as energy prices fell 1.6%. Year-over-year inflation as of November was lower than the previous October reading...

Interesting live stream round table analyst discussion of where the Ukraine war is now and how it is likely to end. These analysts agree that there is not likely to be "big arrow" moves, but rather grinding of Ukraine with slow Russian territorial gains and continued huge Ukrainian casualties. They see no possibility of a negotiated settlement and are particularly critical of Angela Merkle's recent disclosure that the Minsk agreements were always a sham in order to buy time for Ukraine to prepare for war. They believe Russia has come to the conclusion that the West can never be trusted...
