The new mayor of Los Angeles, Karen Bass, said Sunday her administration will start moving homeless people from tent encampments into hotels and motels through a new program that launches Tuesday. […] On her first day as mayor of Los Angeles, Bass declared a state of emergency on homelessness. She vowed to get people housed and more housing built so that residents can see a real difference, which hasn’t been visible despite billions spent on programs to curb homelessness, including $1.2 billion in the current city budget. Bass, a Democrat and former congresswoman, has said she intends to get over...

FBI Arrests Two Pro-Life Advocates for Protesting Abortion, Ignore 160 Attacks on Pro-LifersThe FBI has arrested two more pro-life people for protesting at abortion clinics. But Joe Biden’s law enforcmenet agency still hasn’t arrested a single person after more than 160 acts of violence against churches, pro-life groups and pregnancy centers.The latest arrests involve two women from Tennessee who were charged under the federal FACE law in New York on Friday with unlawfully blocking access to abortion businesses in multiple states over the years.Bevelyn Beatty Williams, 31 and Edmee Chavannes, 41, (pictured in file photo) were both arrested by FBI...

When my fellow pro freedom activist singer/songwriter Wonni Slim (https://freedom-demokrasi-and-civilised-humanity.com/2022/09/06/aussie-freedom-fighters-10-wonni-slim-roll-out-the-rubber-bullets/) saw the "Woman Life Freedom" protest occupy the steps of the Victorian State Parliament after the end of the regular Saturday alt-right anti-government protest in Melbourne, he said, a little enviously and using the colloquial English which is the only way he knows how to speak:: "They've got their s--t together." I hope to learn from them. What do Freeepers know? How do Freepers rate the Woman Life Freedom movement compared with the Republican leaning ex-Democrat Tulsi Gabbard for whom dialogue with tyrants as opposed to demonising them is common...

About half of the U.S. adult population say they don’t need the latest COVID-19 booster while just under a quarter have already taken the jab, according to a recent poll. The findings come despite a Biden administration push to vaccinate during the holiday season. According to the Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF) COVID-19 Monitor poll, only 22 percent of adults have gotten the new bivalent booster since it first became available in September. Another 16 percent claim that they plan to get it “as soon as possible.” These numbers vary slightly from those that the Center for Disease Control and Prevention...

Thanks to Elon Musk, the public is now aware that Twitter suppressed early treatment options for COVID-19, and vaccine safety concerns, Dr. Peter McCullough alleged in an interview that aired on Newsmakers by NTD and The Epoch Times on Dec. 14.Further, thanks to the Twitter Files—a collection of internal emails and communications made public by Musk—the cardiologist said there’s proof that government agencies were working against him (McCullough) personally.“I didn’t violate any of Twitter’s rules,” McCullough stated. “And what we’re learning is that secret emails between government agencies and Twitter were working to, in a sense, shadow-ban me, censor me,...

In 2018, the North Carolina legislature passed a law that would create a new amendment to the state constitution requiring voter ID at all polling places. The law (Senate Bill 824) passed with significant support, primarily from Republicans who held a supermajority in the legislature and successfully overrode a veto by the governor. But this week, in one of the most self-contradictory rulings I’ve seen in quite a while, the state supreme court struck down the law, claiming that it was unconstitutional. Reading through the ruling is an exercise in confusion and nonsensical assumptions by the justices of the court....

Hanukah movies are easier to identify. Christians fight over which movies are Christmas movies. If you ever want to purposely start an argument among Gentiles, walk into a room full of Christians and ask, “Is Die Hard a Christmas movie?” Oh boy, it will get ugly.The truth is Die Hard is a Hanukkah movie. Think about it —” Die Hard” is a story about a desperate insurgency against a vastly superior invading force, requiring the near-miraculous marshaling of limited resources. It’s a modern version of the Chanukah story.So many movie plots occur during the Christmas season. Therefore, there is an...

The January 6th committee is apparently determined to end things with the equivalent of stripping naked and running through the bear enclosure at the zoo. Despite finding essentially no evidence to support their chief assertions, which we’ll get to momentarily, criminal referrals are on the way.Now, we are getting the first details of what they will include. According to multiple outlets, citing sources close to the committee, three referrals will be made targeting Donald Trump.Multiple outlets reported on Friday that the committee will vote to recommend the Justice Department pursue criminal charges against Trump for insurrection, obstructing an official proceeding...

Elon Musk has been snapped pulling up to the Lusail City Stadium in Qatar to witness the hotly-antipated World Cup final between defending champions France and Argentina. The Twitter CEO, who attended the final alongside former US presidential advisor and Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner, posted a video from the stands moments before kick-off showing the impressive pyrotechnic display that followed the closing ceremony. Twitter users poked at Musk for revealing his whereabouts just days after he temporarily suspended the accounts of several journalists for 'doxxing' him. The Twitter owner on Thursday banned journalists from CNN, Washington Post, New York...

The Senate passed the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) Thursday, sending the bill to the White House for Joe Biden to scrawl his “X” and transform it into law (see Senate Approves 2023 National Defense Authorization Act). The White House hints that it may not sign the bill because one provision forbids the Department of Defense from requiring members of the Armed Forces to receive the COVID vaccine. This “vaccine,” we now know, is barely prophylaxis. It doesn’t prevent people from getting so sick that they require hospitalization (CDC: 39% of hospitalizations are vaxxed and boosted), and it doesn’t stop...

The Jan. 6 Committee will be releasing at least part of its final report on Monday, including its executive summary and eight chapters. The whole thing is reportedly 1000 pages long.The purpose of the partisan exercise was to do all they could to injure President Donald Trump so that might help them during the midterms. But the Republicans still won the House and Trump still declared that he was running in 2024. So they failed to achieve their main purpose. They will doubtless try to make a criminal referral on Trump and others and it’s going to be something to...

Why the Ruzzian Armata T14 is a Big Failure? They will never use it in Ukraine

The largest cities in the United States are becoming cesspools of crime, drugs, violence and homelessness, and no matter what “solutions” our politicians come up with the problems just continue to get even worse. Sadly, this is even happening in the wealthiest cities in the whole country. New York City is the financial capital of the entire globe, and over the past two decades San Francisco has been swimming in giant mountains of tech industry money. But today the streets of both cities look like something out of a post-apocalyptic horror movie. If things are this bad while economic conditions...

Will 2023 be a year when extremely destructive conflicts erupt all over the world? We are certainly already living in a time of “wars and rumors of wars”, and tensions are approaching the boiling point in a number of key global flashpoints right now. If several more major conflicts were to suddenly begin next year, we could potentially witness an extended period of geopolitical instability that would be unlike anything that we have ever witnessed. It is easy to start wars, but it is much harder to end them. If you doubt this, just look at what is going on...

President Biden plans to speak to the American people this week, before the Christmas holiday and the new year, about what he sees as his major accomplishments since taking office, according to White House officials. The president is expected to emphasize unity and the bipartisan nature of key legislation he’s signed, officials said, and express hope for more cooperation between the two parties in the next Congress where Republicans will control the House.

The family of a 21-year-old college student from Georgia is in mourning after he was killed by a Hancock County sheriff’s deputy in an officer-involved shooting over the weekend. Isaiah Winkley, who was studying cyber security at Pensacola Christian College in Florida, died Saturday morning after Hancock deputies responded to a report of a burglary at 28030 Highway 603 in Kiln, the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation said in a release.

At least 36 people have been injured - with some knocked unconscious - in a 'mass emergency' onboard a Hawaiian Airlines flight from Arizona after it encountered severe turbulence. Passengers were nearing the end of their seven hour flight from Phoenix to Honolulu on Sunday morning when anyone who wasn't wearing their seatbelt was thrown out of their seats. It's believed 11 people were seriously hurt, including several children and a 14-month-old baby. Those hurt onboard include both passengers and flight attendants working on Flight 35. They sustained a variety of injuries, including serious head injuries, cuts and bruises when...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — As the sun began to set over Purdue University Tuesday, around 100 people from the Purdue community marched to Elliott Hall of Music to protest the arrival of former United States President George W. Bush on campus. Protestors demonstrated against the former president’s visit as well as the Bush administration's involvement with the Iraq War. Bush was invited as part of outgoing President Mitch Daniels’ final Presidential Lecture Series. Identified media were not allowed inside the event Tuesday night. Bush was the guest of honor as the pair shared a stage together like old times –...
