Nearly two dozen people accused of coordinating a violent attack on police officers defending the proposed site of an Atlanta police training facility will remain in jail after a judge denied them bond. Channel 2′s Michael Seiden was inside the courtroom as attorneys for the defendants argued that they be released. The 23 defendants charged with domestic terrorism were looking to get out of jail and go home, but the judge didn’t feel comfortable releasing everyone, especially since only two of them have ties to Georgia. The judge listened to their lawyers for most of the afternoon. The mother of...

A Georgia-based voter registration nonprofit founded by Stacey Abrams and dogged by allegations of financial impropriety called for a “National Day of Action Against Police Terror” on Tuesday. On Sunday, far-left extremists attacked a future police training facility in Atlanta, Georgia, nicknamed "Cop City."

Just when I thought Seattle couldn't possibly show more how messed up it is with culture destroying liberal ideology. A couple of weeks ago Seattle made news because the morgues couldn't keep up with disposing of the bodies from fentanyl OD's...now this insanity. A woke Seattle official has shared what she claims are the benefits of smoking fentanyl in public, with one of the city's bus drivers now forced to take sick leave after druggies kept puffing the substance while aboard his vehicle. 'I really hadn’t ever heard of fentanyl smoking on the bus when I was hired by Metro,'...

The Biden administration is preparing to relax COVID-19 testing restrictions for travelers from China as soon as Friday, according to two people familiar with the decision. The people, who were not authorized to comment publicly and spoke on the condition of anonymity, said the administration has decided to roll back the testing requirements as cases, hospitalizations and deaths are declining in China and the U.S. has gathered better information about the surge. The restrictions were put in place on Dec. 28 and took effect on Jan. 5 amid a surge in infections in China after the nation sharply eased pandemic...

In a Republican administration the leftist media would be going bananas asking why the Federal Trade Commission is requiring Twitter to notify them of which journalists have had access to internal communication files. Alas, with a Democrat administration in office, the FTC demand is not an issue. It would appear the mechanisms of government are aligned to fight back against any sunlight that might be provided upon the government manipulation of the social media platform. In a profound display of institutional hubris, the U.S. government claims they are concerned about user privacy as the justification for their involvement.

First responders were alerted to the situation after a 911 call reported someone screaming. The property owner, who was not present during the attack, later “surrendered his dogs to Animal Services for humane euthanasia,” a department news release stated.

The victim, who has not yet been identified, was reportedly at the location to do some work for the property owner. Officials also said the victim had worked for the property owner before without incident.

Fascism involves government control, but not ownership, of the means of production. Private companies exist, but they’re simply arms of the government. That’s pretty much how things work in America today, except that even functions traditionally government-performed in countries like Hitler’s Germany and Mussolini’s Italy have been outsourced to private organizations. ... The Nazis’ program of Gleichschaltung rearranged everything to suit the party’s goals, with the supervision of party officials and government boards. In America, on the other hand, the corporations that control the commanding heights of our national economy do it themselves, following the philosophy of environmental, social and...

Sex is great and most guys get more sex in good marriages than by being single. God has arranged things that way to keep families strong. Too many Third Wave Feminists hold motherhood and mothers in contempt. The beauty of Hollywood babes Cyd Charisse, Claire Trevor and Karen Morley is something God created for red-blooded men to take delight in. God Bless Freedom and All Creation's Joys.

Hunter Biden will have to face his baby mama in court if he wants to slash paternity support for his four-year-old lovechild, DailyMail.com can reveal. The First Son, 53, petitioned an Arkansas judge last year to recalculate the money he pays each month to Lunden Roberts, the mother of Navy Joan Roberts, the little girl he barely acknowledges is his. But Hunter's feisty former flame refused to re-negotiate and instead the pair will settle their differences in open court when the case goes to a two-day bench trial in July.

He claims he can summon tornadoes at will, cause earthquakes with his hate, and conduct blood rituals to bring ruin upon his enemies. An intergalactic master of psychic self-defense born 109 trillion years ago, his days, he says, are now spent tending to his crops and spreading anti-Semitic conspiracies.

The Left has spent most of the last few days howling over Joe Biden’s reversal on Washington DC’s reckless criminal-justice “reform” bill. Imagine what they will do if and when Biden decides to reverse his own reckless border policies. With the pressure building for border security after the kidnapping and murders of Americans over the weekend, Biden won’t have much choice but to make changes.According to the New York Times, that time may have arrived:The Biden administration is considering reviving the practice of detaining migrant families who cross the border illegally — the same policy the president shut down over...

KYIV, Ukraine — Russia’s Wagner mercenary group has been forced to use more of its professional recruits in Bakhmut to replace its depleted supply of enlisted prisoners, who are perishing by the thousands in the longest battle of the war, a Ukrainian official said on Tuesday. The claim suggested that Ukraine sees an opportunity, despite the heavy casualties it has suffered in the eastern city, to exhaust Wagner’s nearly suicidal prisoner assaults, which Ukraine’s commanders regard as one of Russia’s most effective tactics. “This is their last stand,” Col. Serhiy Cherevaty, a spokesperson for Ukraine’s eastern group of forces, told...

Hello there, I am writing on behalf of my wife Julie (proudamericanincanada), who passed away on November 16, 2021, from a long time illness.

You can tell Tucker Carlson is over the target based simply on the hysterical reactions he’s gotten over the last 24 hours. That’s the story after the Fox News host began to release January 6th surveillance footage on Monday evening.Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy gave Carlson access to the footage after Democrats fought for years to keep it under lock and key. Now, we are finding out that many of the narratives spun by the January 6th committee and others were at best misleading and at worst outright false.RedState has already reported on that extensively on those revelations (click...

While sober observers of news and politics take time to contemplate the new J6 video released by Tucker Carlson and what it means to the media-constructed narrative of that day’s events, Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell instead chose, yet again, to side with Democrats and condemned the release of the new footage:“With regard to the presentation on Fox News last night, I want to associate myself entirely with the opinion of the chief of the Capitol police about what happened on January 6.”McConnell offered his hot take at his regular Tuesday afternoon media scrum in the halls of the Capitol....
