Inmates on notorious Rikers Island could soon be scoring “Get out of Jail Free” cards courtesy of the New York City Council. Progressive Democratic Council members approved a controversial bill aimed at slashing the lock-up’s population by creating new borough-based, taxpayer-funded “jail population review” teams to decide who among the complex’s roughly 6,000 prisoners meet yet-to-be-determined criteria “for early case resolution or pretrial release.” Democratic Councilman Robert Holden called it among the most “dangerous” pieces of legislation he’s ever seen. The goal of the bill, sponsored by left-wing Councilwoman Carlina Rivera (D-Manhattan), is lowering the jail population to meet a...

Tens of thousands of ranchers are reporting the largest beef supply drop since 1962 as herds continue to shrink all across the country. The meat shortages we have been warned about for months are now hitting all major grocery stores, and consumers are seeing prices soar to levels last seen during the inflation peak of June 2022. However, livestock economists say that a price spike will likely be seen in the months ahead, with summer demand further squeezing inventories at supermarkets. A new report reveals that many Americans have already begun stockpiling meat to get ready for the shortages that...

Right now, the Fed’s gold certificate values gold at $42.22 an ounce. That’s obviously not anywhere near the market price of gold, which, again, is about $2,042 an ounce. Now, the Treasury could issue the Fed a new gold certificate valuing the 8,000 tons of Treasury gold at $2,042 an ounce. They could take today’s market price of $2,042, subtract the official $42.22 price and multiply the difference by 8,000 tons.

An FBI surveillance contractor infiltrated the chatrooms of two airline industry groups opposed to vaccine mandates to collect intelligence on the groups’ organizing activities, investigative journalist Lee Fang reported. The contractor, Flashpoint, which in the past infiltrated Islamic terror groups, now focuses on “anti-vaccine” groups and other domestic political organizations, according to Fang. In a webinar presentation for clients last year, which Fang analyzed on his Substack, Flashpoint analyst Vlad Cuiujuclu demonstrated his company’s methods for identifying and entering encrypted Telegram chat groups. He explained how the company attempted to join chatrooms of transportation workers resisting the COVID-19 vaccine mandates....

In front of an exuberant crowd, North Carolina’s Democratic governor vetoed legislation Saturday that would have banned nearly all abortions in his state after 12 weeks of pregnancy. About 1,000 abortion-rights activists and voters watched on a plaza in the capital of Raleigh as Gov. Roy Cooper affixed his veto stamp to the bill in an unconventionally public display.

Air traffic situation – Pilot is unable to act (click here) Today there was a HiSky Airbus A321-271 with registration YR-WIN on flight H4474 from Dublin / Ireland (DUB) to Chisinau / Moldova (KIV), leaving 12:45am, when the crew switched emergency code 7700 almost 20 minutes after the start in Dublin because one of the pilots had suddenly become unable to act. The plane was then immediately redirected to Manchester / UK ( MAN ), where the sick crew member was transferred to medical care after landing. About 14 hours after landing in Manchester, the plane started again with an...

President Biden said hope is “shadowed” by fear, violence and hate but asserted that it can still win if people speak up to oppose those forces in his commencement address at Howard University on Saturday. Biden, the seventh sitting president to give the commencement address at the historically Black university, told graduates that he hoped hatred was losing the battle after former President Obama was elected and reelected as the country’s first Black president. But he said hatred “never goes away” and only “hides under the rocks.”

President Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States of America, will hold a rally in Des Moines, Iowa on Saturday, May 13, 2023, at 7:00PM CDT.

House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) suggested Friday that former President Barack Obama knew of the Biden family’s foreign deals with adversaries of the United States. Speaking with Lou Dobbs on the Great America Show, Comer said Obama must have known about the Biden family business. “I believe, Lou, that it’s because he knew what Joe Biden was doing the last year of his vice presidency,” Comer said in reference to payments worth millions the family’s business collected.

On the 13th of May, 1787, about 1500 people (mostly "criminals") and 11 ships under the command of Arthur Phillip set sail from Plymouth, England, to establish a penal colony in Botany Bay, Terra Australis, the Great Southern Land. The human beings involved in this were mostly people who wished to be back home in England. As is clear the words of the song, "Botany Bay". I remember how much I loved singing the chorus, as best I could, perhaps from the back seat of the car, with my dad in the driver's seat in front, when I was a...

Tucker was averaging 3.2 million viewers a night in his primetime slot. On Tuesday after his firing, FOX News had only 1.7 million viewers at 8 PM. Since then FOX News has lost two-thirds of their viewers in the coveted 8 PM timeslot. Their numbers have absolutely FLATLINED since firing their top-rated host. On Thursday FOX News at Night, the show that replaced Tucker Carlson, had 1.394 viewers. They lost TWO-THIRDS of their audience! And after two weeks — IT’S NOT COMING BACK! Nice job, Paul Ryan! On Saturday FOX News SUDDENLY decided to air President Trump’s rally in Iowa....

SAN DIEGO — In the vast migrant camp that sprung up this week on a patch of U.S. soil between Tijuana and San Diego, a striking system of order has emerged, even as anxiety and uncertainty swell. The Africans in the camp — from Ghana, Somalia, Kenya, Guinea, Nigeria — have one leader, a tall Somali man, who communicates with aid groups about how many blankets, diapers and sanitary pads they need that day.

Marion Reyes, 36, surrendered to the police’s traffic bureau — just one day after authorities sent out an alert alleging that she cut off her ankle monitor. “I never cut it off!!! An officer cut it off when I turned myself in. They continued to release me,” Reyes commented under a News 8 story about her case posted to Facebook. The Las Vegas Traffic Bureau responded with its own comment: “Then why not turn yourself in now? Let’s get this sorted out tonight.” Reyes seemingly heeded the advice and chatted with an intervention officer Thursday night before turning herself in...

Dr. Mike Yeadon isn’t just saying there was no true pandemic, he is saying there was no new virus.

… Lewandowski has talked with American Exceptionalism PAC, an outside group that has been set up to bolster the candidacy of Ramaswamy, according to three people familiar with the discussions. The longtime GOP operative, who for a time led Trump’s 2016 campaign and has remained an ally of the ex-president, approached Trump within the last several weeks to tell him about the prospect of him joining the organization. Trump did not raise any objections, according to those people familiar with the talks. Lewandowski was previously at the head of a pro-Trump Super PAC until allegations of sexual misconduct toward a...

So we have arrived at the sixth Sunday of Easter, and Pentecost is only two weeks away! It is hard to believe that this blessed season has traveled by so quickly. Yet we are approaching the end, now is the time to prepare more seriously than ever to be filled anew with the Holy Spirit on this upcoming Feast. Our Readings for this Sunday are filled with instruction and narrative about the gift of the Holy Spirit. In the First Reading, we have the account of the “Samaritan Pentecost,” as the Holy Spirit falls on these much-maligned descendants of northern...

Most record company executives search for hits. Chris Strachwitz, a German immigrant who founded Arhoolie Records in 1960, recorded whatever he liked. ...Mr. Strachwitz derided most of the slick popular tunes of his day as “mouse music.” His Arhoolie label, named after a term for field hollers, favored the most obscure country blues, Tex-Mex, Cajun, zydeco and other regional or local artists snubbed by bigger record companies. He liked his recordings raw, unrehearsed and unadorned. “My stuff isn’t produced,” he said. “I just catch it as it is.” “He was the last of the great musical gold miners,” said Ry...
