I’m trying to find the unedited h sanitized video of the man beaten in Oakland when his car was hit at a “sideshow.” They wipe and blur these things from the internet, but I think it is important to see the reality of it.

The U.S. Navy has revealed that it approached a "drag queen influencer" to help persuade new recruits to join the military. Yeoman 2nd Class Joshua Kelley, who goes by the stage name "Harpy Daniels," announced back in November 2022 that he was the Navy’s "Digital Ambassador." Kelley has over 1,300,000 likes on TikTok. While Kelley’s Instagram bio shows that the performer’s opinions "are not endorsed by DoD or DoN," the drag queen claims to have danced in drag for service officers on a number of different occasions, sharing one video from 2018.

The Florida legislature on Wednesday passed a “bathroom bill” that bans transgender people from using public restrooms that don’t align with their sex at birth. The GOP-controlled Senate voted 26-12 to approve HB 1521 — and the House passed it a short time later in an 80-36 vote. The measure now heads to the desk of Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis, who is widely expected to sign it into law. Under the bill, known as the “Safety in Private Spaces Act,” people could be slapped with a second-degree misdemeanor if they use public restrooms or changing facilities that do not align...

DIKE, Texas (KLTV) - An East Texas community is faced with a new development that is creating concern. A solar farm is being built in the community of Dike, located in Hopkins County. Some say incorporating into a city would be the solution. In 2020, the Hopkins County Commissioners Court approved to build a solar farm in the community of Dike. Construction has already begun. But many community members are against the project, like Kirk Reams. “The landowners that have leased this land had already signed leases and everything had been done before most of the community members ever found...

All Tomorrow’s RiotsA city that permits the seriously mentally ill to roam free is begging for tragic outcomes.In an incident sadly familiar to many New Yorkers, a man living on the streets with a long history of mental illness started screaming, acting erratically, and threatening the people sharing his subway car earlier this week. “I don’t mind going to jail and getting life in prison,” screamed the 30-year-old Jordan Neely, who had 44 arrests under his belt and an outstanding warrant for felony assault, as he flailed around throwing items of his clothing. “I’m ready to die!”In response, a 24-year-old...

Portland State University will offer its pro-LGBTQ students cotton candy and coloring for a week to celebrate trans and gender-nonconforming students and provide support for those troubled by emerging legislation across the nation that seeks to protect female-only spaces. A memo written by President Stephen Percy cites growing “anti-trans bills in legislatures across the country” and pledges to provide a “safe space for all members of the LGBTQAI+ community.” Although the memo does not explicitly state it, the safe space is likely a response to a visit by free-thinking scholars and gender critical activists to debate the issue of giving...

The intentional demolition of American identityJoe Biden, or whatever communications flunky operates his social media accounts, took to Twitter this week to inform the nation that “Muslim culture has been woven throughout American culture from the very start.” This is an obvious and absurd lie, but Biden is not the first president to make such a claim. Barack Obama and several other Democratic politicians have asserted that Islam has been present in America since its founding and is a natural part of our nation. What possible purpose could the telling of such a blatant lie serve? What does the left...

A gunman stormed a Fox news headquarters in Memphis and fired an AR-15 before bolting himself in the restroom of a nearby restaurant during a standoff with police. Jarrad Nathan, 26, went to the offices of FOX13 and claimed he'd been given a message from God about the murder of Tyre Nichols in Memphis in January. He then fired a round through a ballistic glass door - which requires a keycard to open - which struck the front desk. The incident unfolded at about 11.30am on Tuesday and Nathan was detained about two hours later.

Biden loves to brag about the greatest economy in history! Sure Joe. Life during Biden. Challenger jobs cuts in April were 176% year-over-year. Non farm productivity in Q1 fell -2.7% QoQ. And unit labor costs in Q1 almost doubled to 6.3% QoQ, almost doubled from the Q4 2022 figure of 3.2%. At least The Fed is going to pause it manic rate hikes. Then begin dropping them again.
