An error by a printing company has made every registered voter in Nassau County, New York, a Democrat, based on the voter ID cards received this week in the Republican-leaning county. A spokesperson for the printing company, Phoenix Graphics, said that it was human error and is being fixed, according to NBC New York. About half a million of those who got their cards this week saw that they were registered as Democrats, when they were actually registered Republicans, independents or members of a different political party. "We’re already starting to get phone calls from people, saying 'I’m a registered...

Anyway, the people sharing my tweets over and over again, foaming at the mouth over how I could be so crass as to discuss what I saw in a video that millions of other people saw as well are angrier at me for writing and talking about the video and Sarah Jane Comrie’s actions than they are at her actual actions. This is another example of selective outrage and selective offense. Her lawyer’s statements in the media are meant to obfuscate the actual issue at hand. He is making it about whether or not she tried to steal a bike...

You’re no “libertarian democrat”. Can’t wait to see you burn a bunch of tax payer dollars losing in court. Stay hurt loser.

It appears the story about homeless veterans being displaced by migrants in upstate New York hotels was a hoax, according to a New York politician quoted in the original story. The tale elicited outrage at the notion that homeless veterans out into the street to make room for the ongoing influx of asylum seekers and illegal immigrants.The situation began when Sharon Toney-Finch, a veterans advocate who runs the Yerik Israel Toney Foundation (YIT), told the New York Post that upstate hotels were evicting almost two dozen homeless veterans to make room for incoming immigrants being bused from New York City...

Are Republicans actually about to win a political messaging battle? It’d certainly be shocking given the party’s track record, but that’s the story of a new Associated Press poll that is just brutal for the Democrat narrative on the debt ceiling fight.According to the results of the AP-NORC poll, a whopping 63 percent of Americans want a debt ceiling deal that includes measures to decrease the federal deficit. That compares to just 19 percent who want a debt ceiling increase to be passed without any conditions.Twenty-one percent of adults are following the debate over increasing the national debt limit closely...

Russia's military has been widely discredited and disparaged by the Western media since the start of its invasion of Ukraine, seen to have bungled the early phase of the war after suffering a series of setbacks and retreats. But defense analysts at a top London-based military think tank have investigated Russia's tactical adaptations during the war and have noted that a more structured, coordinated and reactive armed force has emerged — and one that's particularly strong on the defensive. As such, Russia's military now represents a much more formidable opponent for Ukraine as it prepares to launch a much-anticipated counteroffensive...

As the government seeks to create eight new brigades, potential recruits are seeking to avoid joining the armed forces. It would be almost possible to forget the war in the streets of Kyiv. More than a year after the outbreak of the invasion, the Ukrainian capital and the cities around it have returned to a semblance of normality. Today, one of the markers of the fighting in the country is on the walls and entrances of cities in the form of a recruitment campaign to join the armed forces. These posters, which display portraits of soldiers with determined faces, call...

For Ron DeSantis, Sunday, Feb. 19, was the start of another busy week of not officially running for president.... (list of events) Ahead of an expected White House bid, DeSantis has relied heavily on his rich allies to ferry him around the country to test his message and raise his profile..... But ethics experts said the travel — and specifically the role of the nonprofit — shows how DeSantis’ prolonged candidate-in-limbo status has allowed him to work around rules intended to keep donors from wielding secret influence. As a declared federal candidate, he would face far stricter requirements for accepting...

Canadian researchers have identified a new role for vitamin K and gamma-carboxylation in beta cells and their potentially protective role in diabetes. The study explains, at least in part, how vitamin K helps prevent diabetes, and could lead to new therapeutic applications for type 2 diabetes. Vitamin K is a micronutrient known for its role in blood clotting, in particular in gamma-carboxylation, an enzymatic reaction essential to the process. It has been suspected for several years that this vitamin, and thus gamma-carboxylation, may have other functions as well. Several studies suggest a link between a reduced intake of vitamin K...

As we've been warning about for a while, the machinations of the globalist elite cabal are squarely focused on depopulation and control. Concepts like the "Green New Deal" and "The Great Reset" have been pushed by the powers-that-be for some time. But there's a new hot topic that's dominating this year's secret Bilderberg Meetings, and it may be the key to everything else they have planned. Artificial Intelligence could be the linchpin that allows all of the globalists' moving parts to come together in a cohesive, destructive machine. There are challenges the powers-that-be face that can be solved by AI,...

'Our clients seek to live out their faith in their medical practice, and that includes valuing every human life entrusted to their care.'(LifeSiteNews) — California has backed down on enforcing a law requiring medical practitioners to participate in physician-assisted suicides against their will and has agreed to pay $300,000 to the Christian medical professionals who took the state to court. California legalized assisted suicide in 2015 with the End of Life Option Act, under which physicians were able to opt out of participation in, and could not be punished for, “refusing to inform” a patient about his “right” to assisted...

A North Dakota man accused of mowing down an 18-year-old with his car because he thought the young man was a “Republican extremist” has pleaded guilty to manslaughter after initially being charged with murder. Instead of the prospect of life in prison, Shannon Brandt, 42, now faces a maximum sentence of 10 years behind bars in connection with the death of Cayler Ellingson, KVRR-TV reported. Brandt’s attorney, Mark Friese, told the news station earlier this month that the local prosecutor had dropped the murder charge on her own and that “it was not a part of any plea deal.” Continue...

Xanthine dehydrogenase/oxidase blockers may reduce the risk for neurodegenerative diseases, according to a study. Yizhe Song and colleagues conducted a population-based, case-control study of U.S. Medicare beneficiaries in 2009 to identify prescription medications associated with a lower risk for three neurodegenerative diseases: Parkinson disease, Alzheimer disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. The analysis included 42,885 patients with neurodegenerative disease and 334,387 randomly selected controls. All filled medications were categorized according to their biological targets and mechanisms of action of those targets using medication data from 2006 to 2007. The odds ratios were estimated for 141 target-action pairs and each neurodegenerative disease....
