A new San Francisco political group is launching an ad campaign sure to get attention: a series of pastel-colored ads joking about the city’s response to the fentanyl crisis, tied together by the jaunty slogan, “That’s Fentalife!" This week, the ads will appear in the Tenderloin and South of Market neighborhoods, the two places where overdose deaths have been the most prevalent. The group responsible — TogetherSF Action — is insistent that the ads aren't insensitive to the hundreds of people who have died from drug overdoses in the city and that the “That’s Fentalife” moniker on the ads comes...

As Ben Bartee noted Saturday, Old Joe Biden’s commencement speech at Howard University “included a hearty condemnation of the alleged scourge of White Supremacy™ in America.” In fact, the alleged president called white supremacy “the most dangerous terrorist threat to our homeland.” Then on Sunday, Homeland Security Secretary and failed Disinformation Governance Board overlord Alejandro Mayorkas agreed with Old Joe, emphasizing that “domestic violent extremism is our greatest threat right now.” Many other Biden regime officials have said the same thing in the nearly two and a half years now that they have been inflicting themselves upon us. The reason...

Medical journals are ranked by prestige, like universities and restaurants, based on criteria that might be more in the eye of the beholder than based on objective criteria. In the medical world, The Lancet and the New England Journal of Medicine are ranked number one and two, respectively, despite both having had to retract shoddy published COVID papers over “data integrity questions.”JAMA, or the Journal of the American Medical Association, is number five on the “best medicine journals” list. It would be reasonable to expect such journals to be publishing cutting-edge medical research papers rather than nonsense better suited for...

(Daily readings from the USCCB)Jesus said to his disciples: “Now I am going to the one who sent me, and not one of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’ But because I told you this, grief has filled your hearts. But I tell you the truth, it is better for you that I go. For if I do not go, the Advocate will not come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you.” John 16:5–7Jesus continues to speak prophetically to His disciples about the necessity for Him to go to the Father so that He...

Could it be that union bosses are finally waking up to the cold reality that the greatest threat to steel workers, the United Auto Workers, miners, machinists and the Teamsters is the radical climate change agenda of the environmentalists? The green movement has taken the Democratic Party hostage -- and President Joe Biden's all-in embrace of far-left green policies is wreaking havoc on rank-and-file union jobs. The United Auto Workers recently announced it would withhold its endorsement of Biden as he runs for a second term. "The federal government is pouring billions into the electric vehicle transition, with no strings...

John Durham’s report issued yesterday after 3+ years of investigation paints a damning picture of a conspiracy among federal officials, leading legacy media, and the Hillary Clinton campaign and Obama administration. But by issuing no indictments whatsoever, he enabled the complex story to be buried by the same media in a day or two.Tom Fitton of Judicial Watch summarizes what was proven:As confirmed by Durham: Obama knew. Clinton knew. Biden knew. Comey knew. Brennan knew. McCabe knew. Strzok knew.Clapper knew.Schiff knew.FBI knew.DOJ knew.They all knew Trump was innocent but they smeared and spied on him. Worse than Watergate. Trump is...

The Durham Report Leaves No Doubt: The FBI Is A Mortal Threat To DemocracyWhat the report reveals above all is that the deep state is real, it’s corrupt, and it’s at war with the American people.Imagine someone told you that in the run-up to a U.S. presidential election, the FBI tried to undermine a candidate at the behest of the opposing campaign by cooking up a false narrative of collusion with Moscow.And let’s say this conspiracy implicated not just the FBI but also the White House, Justice Department, and CIA — and that nearly the entire corporate press went along...

In a segment from Fox News “The Five” Monday evening, TV host and political commentator Greg Gutfeld took us to a logical conclusion after he’d examined the final Durham report: Why shouldn’t we question the 2020 presidential election?Gutfeld reasoned that if the people were being told that the country could not survive Trump, it would have become their moral duty to cheat. He said:If somebody is telling everybody that this person is a modern-day Hitler; it is your duty to do whatever is possible to stop him. In fact, if you actually play by the rules you're a traitor …...

On Monday, the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland...said the tremors were "not caused by earthquakes, but by pressure waves from an event in the atmosphere." However, they came from "an unknown source." On Saturday, GEUS said it had received "more than 60" tips from people on Bornholm that "earthquake-like tremors"—described as a deep rumbling, shaking and rattling, changing pressure in the ear—had been reported in the afternoon on Bornholm. No one was hurt. Police said they too were contacted by members of the public about the tremor on the eastern part of the island. Danish media reported that the...

Newly sworn-in Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson (D) welcomed border crossers and illegal aliens to the sanctuary city in his inaugural address on Monday just as black Chicagoans protest illegal immigration flooding their neighborhoods. Since August 2022, thousands of border crossers and illegal aliens have inundated Chicago — many arriving with illnesses like COVID-19 and without any ties to the city — spurring former Mayor Lori Lightfoot to declare a state of emergency last week. Already, Chicago officials have opened police stations and abandoned schools to border crossers and illegal aliens, paid for by local taxpayers. Despite Lightfoot saying the city...

MOSCOW, May 16. /TASS/. The United States has repeatedly failed to find any signs of Russian interference in its affairs, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Tuesday. When asked to comment on Monday’s report by US Special Counsel John Durham who concluded that the FBI should never have launched a probe into ties between former US President Donald Trump and Russia, Peskov said, "This is not the first time that the Americans have launched a thorough, large-scale investigation only to find a lack of any Russian interference [in US affairs]." Those involved in the probes admit the absurdity of...

A U.S. National Guard soldier deployed to the Texas border by the Biden administration is seen in a video unlocking a border barrier gate to allow a large group of migrants to enter. The soldier is not a member of the Texas National Guard deployed by Governor Greg Abbott, officials stated. A video tweeted by Fox LA reporter Bill Melugin shows a female soldier opening a gate in a border fence near Eagle Pass, Texas. The date on the video is May 15, shortly after the end of the CDC Title-42 migrant expulsion protocol.

Federal prosecutors are dropping corruption charges against Andrew Gillum — the 2018 Democratic gubernatorial nominee who narrowly lost to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis — after a jury acquitted him on one count and hung on remaining charges that he pocketed campaign cash and illegally receiving gifts, including theater tickets to "Hamilton." Prosecutors initially said they would retry Gillum after a jury acquitted him on one count of lying to the FBI but failed to reach a verdict on 17 counts of wire fraud and a wire fraud conspiracy count at the conclusion of his May 4 trial. However, on Monday,...

Treasury Department Secretary Janet Yellen warned Tuesday that “time is running out” for Congress to lift the debt ceiling and avert a default on the nation’s debt, which the secretary says would be catastrophic for the economy. “Time is running out. Every single day that Congress does not act, we are experiencing increased economic costs that could slow down the U.S. economy,” Yellen said in remarks to the Independent Community Bankers of America. Yellen’s department has warned that its ability to stave off a default through the use of extraordinary measures could run out by June 1 unless Congress takes...

MTG clarifies that the whistleblower who brought evidence that will “bring down the President of the United States” is safe. She confirmed what Comer said yesterday about other missing informants. They’re going to the Treasury at 1:00 pm today to review more financial records.

VIDEO"HOW DARE YOU QUESTION THE INTEGRITY OF THE FBI!!!"That was the reaction of much of the media during the years of the Trump-Russian collusion hoax if anybody expressed skepticism about the methods of the FBI. After the Mueller report revealed NO Trump-Russia collusion, most of the media ditched that line of absurd defense for the FBI... until now. On the heels of the release of the Durham report that even CNN's Jake Tapper declared to be "devastating to the FBI," it would seem that line of defense for the FBI would be gone for good. However, on Morning Joe, Scarborough...

James O’Keefe’s newly minted O’Keefe Media Group (OMG) has released new, undercover footage showing Fox News producer Sean Langille admitting that host Tucker Carlson’s firing was tied to the Dominion Voting Systems lawsuit, as well as aBig Pharma pressure campaign. “When it’s corporate media you’re beholden to advertisers… we take money from Pfizer,” Langille said. He was later confronted over the phone by James O’Keefe over the matter.
