Chicago — Prosecutors say a Chicago man robbed another man at gunpoint during a Grindr hook-up and drove away with a car belonging to the victim’s roommate. Erick Collins, whose defense attorney said he is a 28-year-old church deacon, was held in lieu of a $7,500 bail payment by Judge Kelly McCarthy during a court hearing on Tuesday afternoon. Collins asked the future victim to “help him out” and “be generous” during a chat on the LGBTQ-focused dating app, so the victim offered to pay Collins $40 if they had sex, prosecutors said. Doorbell video allegedly showed Collins arriving at...

There has never been an American leader quite like President Donald J. Trump. From the moment he was elected, he vowed to give the people their power back. “January 20th 2017, will be remembered as the day the people became the rulers of this nation again,” he told the world in his inaugural address. “The forgotten men and women of our country will be forgotten no longer. Everyone is listening to you now.”Since his first term in office and his fight to reclaim American freedom in the wake of a “rigged and stolen” 2020 presidential election, Trump has been ceaselessly...

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has finally broken his silence on his much anticipated potential 2024 presidential run, giving an interview from the governor's mansion in which he said that he has what it takes to be president and "I can beat Biden."DeSantis sat down with Piers Morgan in a wide-ranging interview, saying "stay tuned" when asked about the potential 2024 bid for the GOP nomination. Former President Donald Trump is currently the front-runner for that spot, as he endeavors to earn his second term. "It was clear that the governor has had enough of Trump’s constant baiting and felt ready...

Three years ago, Jason Rivera wrote a letter to the New York City Police Academy, explaining why he wanted to be a police officer. "When I applied to become a police officer, I knew this was the career for me," he said. "I would be the first person in my family to become a police officer," Rivera wrote, as reported by the Daily Mail. "Coming from an immigrant family, I will be the first to say that I am a member of the NYPD, the greatest police force in the world. "Growing up in New York City, I realized how...

Its been almost two years now since we were first contacted by January 6 police brutality victim Philip Anderson. Phillip Anderson was on the ground on the steps of the US Capitol with Rosanne Boyland when she died that day. Phillip was knocked unconscious at the time when he was gassed and pushed into a pile by Capitol Police. He was later rescued and revived by Jake Lang, a current January 6 political prisoner. Rosanne Boyland was not as “lucky.” She was killed that day by Capitol Police. Cara Castronuova at The Gateway Pundit later posted video of Capitol Police...

It's been two decades since, on March 19, 2003, United States forces invaded Iraq. President George W. Bush ordered the invasion to neutralize what he said was the threat of weapons of mass destruction posed by Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein. Except it turned out Saddam did not have weapons of mass destruction. U.S. forces searched and searched and searched, and never found them. In all, 4,586 American servicemen and women died in the war, and 32,455 were wounded. It was the largest military and national security blunder of anyone's lifetime, a mistake so enormous it beggared belief. In the years...

A new report published by the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government and House Judiciary Committee shows extensive collusion between the Biden administration and the National School Board Association.The partnership came as the group drafted a letter calling on the Department of Justice to classify parents as domestic terrorists. The letter also asked Attorney General Merrick Garland to use the Patriot Act, implemented after 9/11, to go after parents expressing criticism over school lockdowns, critical race theory and inappropriate sexual content in the classroom. "Internal Executive Branch documents indicate that the Biden Administration’s use of federal law-enforcement...

The Stanford College Republicans are calling on Stanford Law School to remove a DEI dean after she disrupted a conservative judge’s speaking engagement. Associate Dean for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Tirien Steinbach sided with hecklers by accusing Judge Kyle Duncan of “disenfranchisement” during his Mar. 9 engagement. Duncan, a U.S. Circuit Court judge appointed by former President Trump, spoke on “Guns, Covid and Twitter” as part of an event hosted by the Stanford Federalist Society. Protesting students, according to Campus Reform, took issue with his stances on voter ID laws and transgender youth.

High fever is a common symptom of the deadly Ebola-like virus, often followed by bleeding and organ failure. Tanzania's health minister Ummy Mwalimu said the disease had been contained and she was confident it would not spread further. Three people are being treated in hospital and authorities are tracing 161 contacts, Ms Mwalimu added. The Marburg virus is a cousin of the equally deadly Ebola virus - part of the filovirus family - and it kills on average half of those infected, the WHO says. It is a severe, often fatal illness with symptoms including headache, fever, muscle pains, vomiting...

Eight dolphins have died in New Jersey after washing ashore a Sea Isle City beach on Tuesday. According to the Marine Mammal Stranding Center, two dolphins died shortly after they were spotted on the beach while the six others were euthanized after a veterinarian determined their conditions were deteriorating so rapidly that returning them to the water would have prolonged their suffering in what would have resulted in an “inevitable death.” Rescuers are pouring buckets of ocean water on the 6 of 8 stranded dolphins still alive on Sea Isle City beach. Dolphins can overheat fast so their skin needs...

Atheist evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins has defended Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling from the criticism she has received for her pushback against the efforts of trans activists to “pretend biology doesn’t exist.”Dawkins appeared on the program “Piers Morgan Uncensored” Monday, where he and host Piers Morgan discussed a suggestion from a group of scientists to abandon the use of “gendered” terms such as man, woman, mother and father.Morgan denounced the effort to “degender and neutralize language,” lamenting that “they’re doing it from a completely false pretext that you can somehow pretend biology doesn’t exist, particularly when it comes to someone’s...

Is that fatso going to actually to this thing today?

Poor Brian Kilmeade sounds like he is reporting on a funeral this morning. The FOX and Friends host and Trump-basher reported on the latest Morning Consult pull showing President Trump up 54 to 26 over Governor Ron DeSantis. Kilmeade then compared President Trump to Jeb! Bush in 2016. That’s a stretch! Fellow FOX and Friends hosts look like they are reporting on a funeral.

It has been reported that Trump could be indicted as early as Wednesday, but it’s anyone’s guess when and if it will actually happen. However, it is becoming more apparent that the case, which legal experts believe is very weak, has been rigged against Trump. On Monday night, during an interview with Tucker Carlson on Fox News, Robert Costello, the surprise witness in the case, discussed his testimony before the Manhattan Grand Jury earlier in the day. Costello stated that he testified for two hours in front of Soros-funded DA Bragg’s grand jury and claimed that during that time, he...
