The former president of the Claremont Unified School District Board of Education and two others are facing criminal charges after alcohol was allegedly given to members of the Claremont High School Choir at a holiday party. On Dec. 3, 2022, former President Steven Llanusa hosted a tree-trimming party at his home, where the alleged misconduct occurred, the Claremont Police Department said in a press release.

Also paid to entertain the partygoers were shirtless men, who allegedly added to the adult nature of...

As recently discovered and reported by Dr. Robert Malone, the U.S. government has secretly been tracking those who didn’t get the COVID jab, or are only partially jabbed, through a previously unknown surveillance program designed by the U.S. National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), a division of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The program was implemented on April 1, 2022, but didn’t become universally adopted by most medical clinics and hospitals across the U.S. until January 2023. Under this program, doctors at clinics and hospitals have been instructed to ask patients about their vaccination status, which is...

Wait, did I say Nikki Harris? I meant Nikki Haley, but it's an understandable mistake. After all, as a good friend deep in politics recently pointed out to me, Nikki Haley is the Kamala Harris of the Republican Party. And now Nikki says she wants to be president, announcing her doomed candidacy with hilariously hackneyed and overwrought fanfare ("Now is the time for a strong and proud America!"), though everyone with half a cerebral cortex can see that she's really just trying to position herself as the vice-presidential nominee when either Donald Trump or Ron DeSantis gets the nomination. It's...

Pepsi is bringing back its Peeps-flavored soda, and this time it’s easier than an Easter egg hunt to find. For the first time, “Pepsi x Peeps” is available for sale at retailers nationwide, a change from its debut two years ago, when it only gave away a few thousand of the sodas in a contest. Pepsi said in a statement that its mass release was prompted by popular demand following its “unforgettable debut” in 2021 when it the soda “trended everywhere” and sold for hundreds of dollars on the resale market

The FBI has reportedly conducted searches at the University of Delaware on at least two occasions as part of the criminal investigation into President Biden’s apparent mishandling of classified documents. The searches were conducted in “recent weeks,” according to CNN, with the consent and cooperation of the 80-year-old president’s lawyers. Investigators searched two university locations on two different days and seized material that did not appear to have classified markings, according to the report. The materials are being reviewed by the FBI. The two batches of documents investigators focused on were an archive of materials from Biden’s time in the...

As House Republicans probe the “weaponization” of the federal government against the citizens it serves, the FBI recently showed why such an investigation is necessary. In Richmond last month, the FBI, which works for a Catholic president, circulated an internal memo that ripped traditional Catholics as potential terrorists.

"Give me a break, man," an irritated Biden responded before leaving the room. He is too demented to answer questions, that's the elephant in the room.

he leader of the Canadian Conservative Party, Pierre Poilievre, said that if he were to be elected Prime Minister, he would not impose digital IDs. He made the comment on a campaign trail in Windsor, Ontario. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government announced its federal Digital Identity Program last August. “And to answer your question, I will never allow the government to impose a digital ID,” Poilievre said. Poilievre’s comment came a few days after Alberta and Saskatchewan’s premiers said that they were not interested in a federal digital ID. “The government of Saskatchewan is not creating a Digital ID nor...

The US military is conducting wide-area surveillance tests across six midwest states using experimental high-altitude balloons, documents filed with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) reveal. Up to 25 unmanned solar-powered balloons are being launched from rural South Dakota and drifting 250 miles through an area spanning portions of Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin and Missouri, before concluding in central Illinois. Travelling in the stratosphere at altitudes of up to 65,000ft, the balloons are intended to “provide a persistent surveillance system to locate and deter narcotic trafficking and homeland security threats”, according to a filing made on behalf of the Sierra Nevada Corporation,...

Environmentalists may have cheered when President Biden pulled the plug on the Keystone XL pipeline, but his decision is sparking concerns of a greater calamity down the tracks as the risks associated with transporting Canadian crude oil by rail start to pile up….

Former abortion workers who attended the March for Life in January shared horror stories from inside the abortion industry, including one of a born-alive baby being drowned in a toilet, as well as accounts of the mental health issues workers suffer as a result of partaking in abortion. Abortion is ‘just a business’ One woman, who said she began working at Planned Parenthood because she felt strongly that abortion was a woman’s right, eventually changed her mind and left the industry. “I realized that that wasn’t it. That abortion was just a business. That abortion was harming women and the...

What Is the Longhouse?Something has gone wrong in modern cultural and political life. Only those hopelessly numb, or deceived by the academic parlor tricks of someone like Steven Pinker, can observe the state of things and not see serious problems on the horizon. The Great and the Good have become the mediocre and the lame. The conditions necessary for civic and personal virtue have steadily eroded. Even if a cataclysm never comes, a civilization contenting itself to die on history’s hospice bed is crisis enough.In certain corners of the online right you encounter a term that is at first glance...

The gay men’s chorus that sparked outrage in 2021 for its allegedly “tongue-in-cheek” song about “coming for” conservatives’ children is teaming up with Disney to put on a March concert celebrating “love, LGBTQ+ pride, and family ties.” The San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus (SFGMC) made the announcement in a January 30 statement, noting that the so-called “Disney PRIDE in Concert” will be held March 16-17 “in celebration of SFGMC’s 45th anniversary and the 100th anniversary of Disney.” The event will be produced with Disney Concerts, the Disney Music Group’s concert production and licensing arm. The Daily Wire pointed out that...

The president said the three objects shot down after the military's take-down of the Chinese spy balloon is most likely from private entities and not believed to be related to China or other surveillance operations. The intelligence committee is still assessing the three unknown aerial objects, President Biden said during a press briefing on Thursday. "I gave the order to take down these objects, and couldn't rule out the risk of surveillance," Biden said. *snip* The U.S. is in the process of recovering pieces of the Chinese balloon, officials said. But debris from the three other objects shot down over...

Noah Baumbach’s latest film, White Noise, arrived on Netflix at the end of December, without much fanfare. Despite a strong fall film festival run, it received mixed reviews from critics; it peaked at no. 4 on Netflix’s self-reported Global Top 10 list. But White Noise is coming back into the public eye in a big way after the recent toxic train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio, led to many pointing out similarities between real life and the film. The explosion, which is referred to in the movie as “The Airborne Toxic Event,” leads to lots of confusion, a lack of...
