You probably remember Tara Reade as the woman who accused Joe Biden of sexual assault. Even at the time, the media noticed that Reade had some unusual opinions about Russia and Vladimir Putin. The Krassenstein brothers put together this Medium post collecting all of the information about her fondness for Russia.In 2017, Tara Reade spent a lot of her time on Twitter, like many liberal Americans, attacking Russia and Vladimir Putin for interfering in our elections, among other things. Reade has a plethora of tweets, retweets and/or “likes” attacking Putin and his country, for everything from their inhumane stance on...

The pre-print for this study, prior to the peer review process, came out late last year. It showed, in a nutshell, that more COVID-19 shots correlated to a greater risk of contracting COVID-19.But the COVIDians predictably, in eternal denial as is their nature, pounced on the fact that the initial paper was a pre-print. They dismissed it for not being peer-reviewed, which is often described as the “gold standard” stamp of approval by The Science™.Mind you, the corporate state media expresses no such criticism of pre-print studies that say what they want them to say about the alleged efficacy of...

One Spicy Deluxe, Hold the WokeThe Marxist toilet dwellers have scored a major victory, and this one stings.Chicken sandwich behemoth Chick-fil-A bent a knee, put a shotgun in its mouth, and hired a Diversity, Equity & Inclusivity (DEI) executive.Perhaps they just start selling Bud Light and call it a day.PREDICTION-O-RAMA! The woke social crusader crowd has been boycotting — and harassing — Chick-fil-A since 2012, when a now-former president spoke out against gay marriage. Hiring a DEI clown will not result in hordes of liberal, green-haired dime museums crashing through their doors. But now, many conservatives are thinking about jumping...

As we reported earlier, a lot of Congressional Republicans are mad about the debt ceiling deal that House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has struck with President Biden.It’s not clear if McCarthy has the votes for the deal based upon the people sounding off and it also puts his speakership in question, potentially, if he doesn’t have support from people like the House Freedom Caucus. He also went a little too far in what he was trying to sell, claiming there wasn’t anything for Democrats in the bill.When reporters queried members of the Freedom Caucus about whether they would make a “motion...

The prosecution of Kevin Mackie is the latest in a string of cases where people in blue areas face charges for defending themselves from violent leftists.By now, most Americans have heard of Daniel Penny, the Marine Corps veteran being charged by Manhattan’s Democrat district attorney for defending his fellow citizens from an erratic Jordan Neely on the New York City subway. There’s also a good chance they’ve heard of Daniel Perry, the Army sergeant recently convicted in Austin, Texas, for protecting himself from an armed Black Lives Matter demonstrator.On their own merits, both cases represent a seemingly growing trend of...

The homeless are often both mentally ill and addicted. Yet the government persists in treating homelessness as almost entirely a housing issue.Homelessness affects cities across the country, but it’s not just a local issue, though media cover it that way. Nor is homelessness mainly about housing; rather, it’s largely about untreated mental illness and drug addiction. Consistently misdiagnosed, homelessness is being wrongly addressed. And the policies that give rise to homelessness largely come from Washington, D.C., not localities. A bill called “Housing PLUS” has been introduced in Congress by Rep. Andy Barr, R-Ky., with 22 sponsors, to start to rectify...

A vast network of liberal dark money is using ballot initiatives to buy substantial electoral reforms that would otherwise be impossible.Over the past five years, Michigan has been completely transformed by a series of ruinous electoral reforms. This development, however, has nothing to do with some Trump-induced hangover or the popularity of its Democratic governor, Gretchen Whitmer. These reforms are part of a nationwide conspiracy concocted by a vast network of leftist dark money using “nonpartisan” proxy organizations and the ballot initiative loophole to circumvent the ordinary political process.In Michigan, the principal puppet behind these reforms has been a little-known...

In a statement released earlier this month, Tara Reade, the former staffer who accused Joe Biden of sexual assault, placed blame on Biden if something happened to her.Recall, Tara Reade accused her former boss then-Senator Joe Biden of sexually assaulting her in 1993.“He sexually assaulted me in 1993 when I worked as his staffer,” Reade said. “Mia Farrow then when I came forward publicly, he used his power and resources to destroy me. Stop. It is more than a little painful to read about his “moral center” that is a PR image not reality.”He sexually assaulted me in 1993 when...

6. SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Virginia, activist with WeCount worker’s center, asked not to use last name: “Now is the moment in which we all must unite in a single force to tell this governor that we are a strong force, that we immigrants are united, are integral for the Florida economy and that we are here and are not leaving.”

Officials say Biden's Middle East adviser visited Oman this month to discuss possible diplomatic outreach to Iran regarding its nuclear program Brett McGurk, US President Joe Biden's senior Middle East advisor, took a low-profile trip to Oman earlier this month for talks with Omani officials on possible diplomatic outreach to Iran regarding its nuclear program, five US, Israeli and European officials told Barak Ravid of Axios on Tuesday. According to the report, McGurk traveled to Muscat on May 8 after a trip to Saudi Arabia with national security adviser Jake Sullivan and a visit to Israel to brief Prime Minister...

The debt-ceiling deal negotiated by President Biden and Speaker Kevin McCarthy will reduce the U.S. government’s debt by $1.5 trillion over the next decade, the Congressional Budget Office estimated Tuesday. In a letter to Rep. McCarthy (R-CA), CBO director Phillip Schwagel said the agency projected the deal’s caps on discretionary spending in 2024 and 2025 would reduce outlays by $1.3 trillion over the next 1o years. Mandatory spending would fall by $10 billion. Revenues are projected to fall by $2 billion due to cuts to funding for enforcement by the Internal Revenue Service. Interest on the public debt would decline...

Speaker Kevin McCarthy received a standing ovation during a House Republican Conference meeting on the debt ceiling on Tuesday. House Republicans gathered in the Capitol building to discuss the debt ceiling deal and gave McCarthy a round of applause. The California Republican said he would give Republicans time to talk about the debt limit deal, otherwise known as the Fiscal Responsibility Act.

On Tuesday’s “PBS NewsHour,” Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-MI) stated that communities are worried about the clawback of COVID money in the debt ceiling bill because “they thought they had until 2024 to spend that money.” And that she has been telling communities, “if you need that money, you should be spending it now.” Dingell said, “First of all, I still feel like we’re being held hostage. The fact of the matter is, the country cannot default, period. And the consequences are scary and intimidating. We would be harming our economy for years to come, hurting seniors, veterans, children. I could...

Joe Biden accuser Tara Reade is seeking to defect to Russia – saying on a Kremlin-backed program that she has fears for her own safety in the U.S. Reade made a series of stunning assertions while appearing on Russian state TV with Maria Butina, who was convicted of acting as an unregistered foreign agent inside the U.S. while cultivating relationships with a series of U.S. political figures. Reade called Butina 'my friend.' Butina, who was elected to the state Duma in Russia and subjected to U.S. sanctions after Russia's Ukraine invasion, said Reade made her decision on a visit to...

Washington D.C., May 30, 2023 / 15:50 pm Baltimore police are searching for a man who is accused of attacking and beating two elderly pro-life activists who were praying outside of a Baltimore Planned Parenthood abortion clinic on May 26. According to witnesses cited in the police report, the unidentified suspect attacked a 73-year-old man and an 80-year-old man after engaging in a "debate" with one of the pro-life activists about abortion.

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) reportedly expressed concerns about the security situation in the Persian Gulf and asked the United States for a stronger military presence in the area to counter Iran, which has seized two oil tankers in the past month, The Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday, quoting Gulf and U.S. officials. After the UAE complained of a lack of strong response from its ally, the U.S., the United States has increased patrolling in the Persian Gulf. “The Department of Defense will be making a series of moves to bolster our defensive posture in the Arabian Gulf,” White...

DURANGO, Mexico (LifeSiteNews) — A Mexican Archbishop was attacked by a man armed with a knife as he greeted parishioners after Sunday Mass. On May 21, Archbishop Faustino Armendáriz of Durango, Mexico survived an attack by an 80-year-old man armed with a knife, following the murder of nine priests in Mexico since current Mexican president Andrés Manuel López Obrador took office at the end of 2018, as reported by the Catholic News Agency. “God, the Most Holy Virgin, the Immaculate Conception, and the Holy Martyrs, who today on their feast day, have protected me from this aggression against my physical...

NASA is due to hold a historic public meeting about UFOs tomorrow — as the once-mocked subject becomes mainstream. The space agency launched an independent task force which has been studying unidentified objects in our skies and oceans since September of last year. Tomorrow's panel will see a broad discussion of NASA's 'science perspective' on UAP, alongside more specific and exotic presentations, including one NASA astrobiologist breaking down 'relevant observations' of anomalies 'beyond Earth's atmosphere.' Tomorrow's meeting, which is expected to last over four hours, will make history as the first time America's space agency has presented any results from...

The distributor of Bud Light in Chattanooga, Tennessee, requested that a local venue called the Bud Light Stage be renamed the Ultra Stage. Supposedly, this request came prior to the Dylan Mulvaney debacle. The upcoming June 2-4 Riverbend Festival has used the Bud Light Stage as its secondary stage for around four decades. About 15,000 people attend the music festival each year. But this year, the term “Bud Light” has become a toxic joke. This occurred last month after Anheuser-Busch decided to do business with Dylan Mulvaney, a guy who runs around in women’s clothes mocking females. Mulvaney identifies as...
