Sure, he said the J6 committee lied, but he pulled his punches even on the opening night and from there the week went downhill fast and he purposely got weaker and weaker. Before the week was done, he opened his show about the International Women's Day award? He didn't care -- he was just going through the motions. His performance was a disgrace. He had the most important journalistic job of his and our lifetimes and he blew it. He will continue to blow it and McCarthy won't release the videos to the general public -- this will be a...

Thanks to House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, Fox News host Tucker Carlson now has access to more than 40,000 hours of unreleased surveillance video from the Jan. 6 riot. It’s created quite a bit of consternation and anger in the media. Of course, if the Select Committee on the Jan. 6 Attack, handpicked by Nancy Pelosi, hadn’t withheld inconvenient evidence from the public in the first place, then McCarthy wouldn’t have had the chance to give the Fox News host anything. Republicans have Fox. The Jan. 6 committee has virtually every other outlet. Mitch McConnell is also outraged by Carlson’s framing...

New York City cops are resigning at a record-breaking pace this year as the NYPD’s alarming exodus continues, according to new data obtained by The Post. “The NYPD staffing emergency is approaching the point of no return,” said Police Benevolent Association President Patrick Lynch. The shocking stats show 239 officers tapped out in January and February, a 36% spike from the 176 who fled in the same period last year and a disturbing 117% jump from the 110 in 2021, NYPD pension data show. That’s the highest number of resignations for the first two months of a year since 250...

While CEO and President Becker sold over 12,000 shares for $3,578,652.31 on February 26, CFO Beck...

Awareness of the nation's massive labor shortage problem is increasing. The problem is encapsulated by the latest news out of Kentucky, where one carpenter’s skills are in high demand. Charles Breedlove’s job “takes him everywhere ... even [to] the water," where he is building a boat deck in the small town of Paducah, according to Kentucky news station WPSD Local 6. He says that demand for his services is growing, but he’s among the few left who knows how to do the job. As reported by Industrial Skilled Trades, “[f]ewer workers are entering the trades, especially among the younger population.”

The 5,000-year-old swords found 43 years ago during the excavations in the old mud-brick palace structure in Malatya Arslantepe Mound are the oldest swords in the world. Many archaeologists believed that the earliest swords only dated to around 1600 or 1500 BCE before the discovery of a cache of swords at the archaeological site of Arslantepe in Turkey. The nine swords from the archaeological site of Arslantepe (Melid) attest to the use of this weapon for the first time in the world – at least a millennium before the already-known examples. They date back to the Early Bronze Age (c....

Two of Silicon Valley Bank’s top chiefs dumped millions of dollars worth of stock just two weeks before the firm collapsed Friday, records show. CEO Greg Becker offloaded over $3.5 million worth of stocks — which amounted to nearly 12,500 shares — in a pre-planned, automated sell-off on Feb. 27, according to a US Securities and Exchange Commission filing. That same day, the bank’s third-in-command CFO Daniel Beck sold $575,180 in stocks, Newsweek reported. Silicon Valley Bank, the once leading tech lender, was shut down by federal authorities just 11 days later. Becker and Beck sold off their massive stakes...

VIDEOWatch CBS News reporters in March 2021 openly scoff at the claim by Jacob Chansley, aka Shaman, that he prayed in the Senate chamber on January 6, 2021. As recently released J6 video has finally revealed, Chansley did pray in the Senate for the Capitol Police who gave him a peaceful tour of the Capitol and helped him enter the Senate.

WARNING: This story contains graphic descriptions of a grizzly bear attack. A GOOD FRIEND never lets his buddy step in bear crap. So when Brady Lowry stumbled upon a fresh pile back in October, deep in the thick brush of the Wyoming wilderness near Yellowstone, he turned his head and began to alert Kendell Cummings. Those were almost his last words. The two Northwest College wrestlers had known each other for only about a month and a half, but they had become fast friends. Brady, who'd been a juco All-American as a freshman, was back on the team after taking...

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) – In the last decade, gender pronouns have become a much more common sight to see and hear – both in social media profiles, in their email signatures, on patches and pins, and when they introduce themselves. As the fight for LGBTQ+ equality and rights continues, many people have publicly announced that they’re non-binary and use they/them pronouns. When people share their pronouns, they’re explaining how they self-identify and how they’d like others to refer to them. The best thing to do when someone shares their pronouns is to use them. According to GLSEN, a group that...

The steamship Roanoke, from New-Orleans March 1 and Havana March 5, arrived at this port yesterday morning. All appearances indicated that the forward movement of Gen. BANKS' forces, was about to commence. It was expected that it would be inaugurated within two or three days after the departure of the Roanoke, and the intimations which we have already had through rebel sources of this effect are, therefore, in all probability, well founded. The estates of Hon. JOHN SLIDELL, have been confiscated, as appears from the following article in the Era, of Feb. 28: The first case that has come up...

On Wednesday, Silicon Valley Bank was a well-capitalized institution seeking to raise some funds.Within 48 hours, a panic induced by the very venture capital community that SVB had served and nurtured ended the bank's 40-year-run.Regulators shuttered SVB Friday and seized its deposits in the largest U.S. banking failure since the 2008 financial crisis and the second-largest ever. The company's downward spiral began late Wednesday, when it surprised investors with news that it needed to raise $2.25 billion to shore up its balance sheet. What followed was the rapid collapse of a highly-respected bank that had grown alongside its technology clients.Even...

Joe Biden could have been a good president. All he had to do was leave things alone. Instead, he blundered into the office and wrecked the country. He is like the guy on a Boeing 747 high over the Atlantic Ocean who breaks into the cockpit and says, “I can fly this thing.” “You don’t have to, Joe,” the pilot says, “It’s on autopilot. It flies itself. You know, computers.” Undeterred, Joe presses buttons and flips switches. The plane goes into a nosedive. Which is where we are today. You don’t put a guy like this in control. He is...

The last execution in Ukraine apparently took place on this date in 1997 — and bizarrely, nobody even seems sure of exactly who enjoyed this unwelcome distinction. This was post-Soviet Ukraine under Leonid Kuchma, a man in no way renowned for his excessive regard for human dignity. But Kuchma was keen on integrating with Europe, and that meant appeasing western Europe’s human rights sensibilities. Ukraine joined the Council of Europe in 1995, a move that required it to abolish the death penalty. But executions — by means of the old Soviet method, a single gunshot to the back of the...

Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) got caught in Ben Bernanke and Janet Yellen’s bear trap, the trap set when Bernanke/Yellen kept interest rates 25 basis points for too long (from December 2008 through December 2015) and then raising rates only once during Obama’s Presidency, only to raise rates 8 times after Trump was elected President. Then Covid struck in early 2020 and Powell dropped rates to 25 basis points again until inflation struck and Powell started raising rates at the fast pace in history. Crucially, the Federal Reserve pinned interest rates at unprecedented lows. And, in a radical shakeup of its...

Archrivals Iran and Saudi Arabia agreed Friday to restore diplomatic relations, a dramatic breakthrough brokered by China after years of soaring tensions between the Middle Eastern powerhouses. The deal, which will see the two leading oil producers reopen embassies in each other’s capitals, was sealed during a meeting in Beijing — a boost to China's efforts to rival the United States as a broker on the global stage. The agreement could put a damper on Israel's ongoing work to normalize relations with its Arab neighbors, and complicate U.S. and other Western powers' bid to contain Iran's nuclear ambitions. The Saudi-Iran...

When it comes to the subject of UFOs observed over Washington, DC, most aficionados of the topic will knowingly nod and assume you’re talking about the July 1952 event that has been the subject of numerous books and documentaries. If you bring up the “Tic Tac” UFO, everyone immediately thinks of the 2004 encounter involving fighter pilots with the USS Nimitz. But what far fewer people are aware of is that there was a UFO event in the shadows of America’s capital earlier than both of those events, and it may have also featured a bizarre craft resembling a Tic...

Corporations that remain neutral on social and political issues outperform companies that lean left. Capitalists invest money, and manage companies, to do well financially. Proponents of so-called woke capitalism claim that companies can do “well” financially by doing “good” politically. The idea is that advancing a political agenda will also enhance profits and shareholder returns. Whether this does good is a matter of opinion, but whether it does well can be measured. Woke capitalism makes its way into financial markets through an ill-defined concept known as environmental, social and governance investing. Huge investment managers use their ownership of shares to...

No sooner had we forgiven Jane Fonda for her sins of many years ago than she gives fresh reason to condemn her. Today on The View–my God, does someone actually watch that show?–she suggested that pro-lifers should be murdered:(embedded video)One of the View’s hosts hurried to assure the audience that Fonda was kidding, but Jane herself remained mute. Subsequently, she beat a retreat:“While women’s reproductive rights are a very serious issue and extremely important to me, my comment on The View was obviously made in jest,” Fonda told Fox News Digital in a statement. “My body language and tone made...
