The Santa Cruz Police Department is offering free gun locks and safety brochures to firearm owners to help promote safe storage and prevent guns from ending up in the wrong hands. The SCPD said that it is the responsibility of firearm owners to ensure that their guns are stored safely and securely, out of reach of children and unauthorized individuals. "Stolen firearms can end up in the hands of criminals who can use them to commit violent crimes," noted the police department in a post on Facebook. To promote gun safety, the SCPD is giving away free child safety gun...

A very rare whale was spotted in the Monterey Bay Sunday morning. According to Monterey Bay Whale Watch, the critically endangered North Pacific right whale (Eubalaena japonica) was spotted during a whale-watching trip this morning. Captain Pualani Dalton on the Point Sur Clipper was the one who spotted it and Evan Brodsky with Monterey Bay Whale Watch said it is "One of the rarest whales in the world, estimated only 32 individuals along the Pacific coast." He said those on the boat could tell it was a North Pacific Right Whale due to the raised patches of rough skin called...

What's 'distressful'? It's the feeling of being in distress and stressed out, this man said, after an online grocer delivered an item forbidden against his family's religion. Taking to TikTok on Monday (March 6), user Khatimtai shared what RedMart – Lazada's online grocery delivery service – sent to his Muslim household a few days ago. Packets of frozen minced pork, according to the 11-second clip. "I'll be staying away from RedMart for the time being. It was a very distressful situation for me," Khatimtai said, adding that he hopes the online grocer would relook at their delivery process to minimise...

A Connecticut artist had her nose bitten off by her boyfriend’s pit bull mix rescue when the pooch got spooked by her teeth-whitening device. Olivia Quast, 30, from Thomaston, suffered horrific injuries to her face and arm during the Feb. 3 incident involving her boyfriend Graeme Stasyshyn’s 6-year-old dog, Bentley, which he’s had for four years. Quast speculated that Bentley, who was abused as a puppy, might have been startled and provoked by her teeth-whitening mouth guard equipped with a UV light.

The residents of East Palestine, Ohio, have more than enough to worry about. A train wreck with black fumes of burning chemicals pouring from a tank is frightening enough. The absolute last thing they need is the news media spreading even scarier—but inaccurate—information about the accident. Yet for weeks, that is precisely what's been going on. Vinyl chloride, a chemical long used to make PVC plastics, is being portrayed as something more suitable for capital punishment than for a routine manufacturing process in a factory. Ohioans, like the rest of the country, are being bombarded by horrifying claims about its...

This will be my thread on all the undercover FBI assets I have located posing as violent and racist conservatives. My studies include Charlottesville, January 6, the "Justice for January 6th Rally", various Patriot Front events, the Youngkin bus hoax, and other "racist" events. (SEE IMAGES) Bottom left are Patriot Front members, who worked the Glenn Youngkin bus hoax. The Lincoln Project took credit for staging this event, but it was actually the FBI. These are their people. You can see two of these same individuals at some staged "racist" rally. (top)

Mark and Patricia McCloskey nearly lost their careers and gained felony convictions after standing up to a trespassing mob of Black Lives Matter “protesters” threatening to kill them and burn their house down. That happened thanks to the Soros-funded St. Louis Prosecuting Attorney Kimberly Gardner prosecuting the couple for daring to use their guns to defend themselves and their home in St. Louis’s Central West End.Now Gardner’s facing her own legal problems and the McCloskeys are more than happy to return the favor by lending their support for campaign to remove the non-prosecuting prosecutor.With their law licenses now restored and...

Fox Corp. Chairman Rupert Murdoch said under oath that he believes the 2020 presidential election was free, fair and not stolen, according to court filings released Tuesday in a voting machine company’s defamation lawsuit over Fox News’ coverage of former President Donald Trump’s unfounded election fraud claims. In sworn questioning in January by lawyers for Dominion Voting Systems, Murdoch was asked, “Do you believe that the 2020 presidential election was free and fair?” “Yes,” he replied, according to a transcript. “The election was not stolen,” he said later. …

This Saturday at CPAC, Donald Trump gave one of his most raw speeches to date—a quotable masterpiece that at one point even brought me back to one of the first things I came to truly admire about the man: his 2016 primary-dismantling of the Republican Establishment. At the time, it was a bit jarring to behold, being a near two-decade long supporter of GWB and the Bush family in general. Trump spoke uncomfortable, yet undeniable truths as he cut down long-time Republicans. It needed to be said and I, as well as many others, needed to hear it. Watching as...

It was announced last week that another gender has been added to the list: nominalgender. Most news sites reported this in the sort of proud way a zoo might announce the birth of an exciting animal, a baby Komodo dragon maybe – as if the gender had somehow hatched and was waiting to be adopted. You are nominalgender ‘if your gender is so much just you that no one else can even experience it’, I read. A gender no one else can experience? That sounds almost appealing. I might be tempted to come out as nominalgender right here and now...

Accommodations might be far from optimal for the athletes competing at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. After concerns were raised over the lack of air conditioning in the athletes’ village back in January, Paris mayor Anne Hidalgo doubled down on the idea last week. The Olympic Village, currently under construction in the Saint-Denis area, was designed to have rooms six degrees cooler than the outdoor temperature in an effort to be environmentally friendly.

While many in the nation celebrated when Donald Trump took the oath of office, Michelle Obama, mostly known for her portrayal as the school lunch-killing wife of Barack Obama, apparently was brought to tears after the inauguration when her family took off from Joint Base Andrews in Maryland. “I cried for 30 minutes straight — uncontrollable sobbing — because that’s how much we were holding it together for eight years,” Obama says in a clip from her new podcast, which I have no intention of ever listening to, and I’m sure you never will either. “We were leaving the home...

"The sower soweth the word. And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts." "And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word, 19 "And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful. "And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit,...

REP. RALPH NORMAN DISCUSSES THE J6 VIDEOS AMERICA'S VOICE LIVE WITH STEVE GRUBER, MARCH 7TH, 2023

In the Northeast woodlands the most feared and hated nation was the Iroquois — especially the Mohawk and Seneca. The Algonquian speaking nations and Iroquoian speaking Huron were particular enemies of the Iroquois. In the 1640s, the Iroquois unleashed a virtual genocide on the other Nations of the region, one that was not quickly forgotten. The Ojibwa defeated a number of the Iroquois incursions and ran the Sioux out of their forested homeland onto the plains. The Ojibwa (Chippewa and associated bands) occupied more land than any other tribe ever has from Manitoba to Indiana and took over smaller tribes...

Michelle Obama opens up about her ‘uncontrollable sobbing’ on day of Trump’s inauguration Washington CNN — Michelle Obama broke down shortly after leaving then-President Donald Trump’s inauguration, the former first lady candidly shared in a new podcast, as the emotions of leaving their family’s home after eight years and resentment over Trump taking office overwhelmed her. “When those doors shut, I cried for 30 minutes straight, uncontrollable sobbing, because that’s how much we were holding it together for eight years,” Obama said, referring to her final trip aboard the presidential airplane. The fresh revelation of Obama’s experience came in a...
