We’ve seen Target take a huge stock dive with about $14 billion in market cap lost as of Tuesday, since the middle of May. We reported how they faced two downgrades — from JP Morgan and KeyBanc — and had been on the worst losing streak that they’ve had in 23 years. JP Morgan cited as the basis for their downgrade “too many concerns rising.” That’s a massive change in such a short period. Now, Elon Musk and Shark Tank’s Kevin O’Leary are warning about what might be the next shoe to drop for the company under siege.O’Leary, on “Jesse...

As RedState reported, Tucker Carlson returned to the public sphere on Tuesday with his first official Twitter episode. That came after the once top-rated cable news host was fired by Fox News.Demand for Carlson’s new show was so high that some had trouble getting it to play at first, but when they did, it became obvious he was only escalating his already straight-ahead style. In a relatively short 10-minute monologue, the topics ranged from Ukraine to Lindsey Graham to Nikki Haley, and none of them were paid any compliments.Carlson’s words already have many on the left and the right melting...

Massive brawl breaks out outside Glendale CA school board. (Credit: Sergio Olmos)A huge fight broke out outside the Glendale School Board meeting in Los Angeles as parents, many of them from the Armenian-American community, came to protest the school’s pride events. Naturally, the left-wing zealots—read “Antifa”—showed up in force, and as you will see, some serious punches were thrown on both sides. A heavy police presence attempted to stop the fighting, violently pulling apart combatants to prevent serious injury.Someone with a bullhorn shouts, “Do not engage! Step away. We are not here to fight!” Maybe that person wasn’t there to...

Not too long ago, San Francisco was still a remarkably beautiful city, although even then it could change on a dime. One could be in the midst of a leisurely stroll down a gorgeous street filled with chic cafes, turn a corner, and find oneself without warning in the middle of a large crowd of menacing homeless drug addicts. Now, after decades of far-Left misrule that has picked up speed in the wake of the COVID hysteria, the city’s dirty, degrading, and dangerous areas are growing rapidly and taking the whole place over, and the city’s remaining sane people are...

Former Republican New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie announced his campaign for the 2024 presidential election on Tuesday, during which he knocked former President Donald Trump and strangely praised former President Woodrow Wilson at George Washington’s expense.Christie has been a fierce opponent and critic of Donald Trump, despite endorsing him wholeheartedly in 2016, since the Russia collusion investigation, a criticism that only accelerated following the January 6 riot on Capitol Hill. In his announcement on Tuesday, the former New Jersey governor repeated his dislike for the former president, charging that he helped make America smaller by playing off people’s divisions.“We have...

Coming up a little later today we’ll be covering some good news from the federal judiciary, but let’s get the bad news out of the way first. A federal judge in Washington State has turned away a request for an injunction halting enforcement of the state’s newly-imposed ban on the sale of so-called assault weapons, and for the most absurd reason you can imagine.

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan sent a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland on Tuesday demanding documentation related to the FBI’s raid of former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate last year.The raid — which took place on Aug. 8, 2022 — was reportedly aimed at retrieving “any document Trump ever saw, read, or created for the entirety of his four years as commander-in-chief.” Due to the unprecedented nature of the Biden DOJ conducting a raid on a former president and a potential 2024 rival, House Judiciary Republicans sent letters to Garland, FBI Director Christopher Wray, and then-White House Chief...

President Joe Biden said he'd be playing golf in the PGA in response to a question about the controversial merger between the association and the Saudi-backed LIV league. The president made a small swinging motion when asked about the surprise deal and said: 'I'm planning on playing in the PGA.' Biden, who enjoys golf and played with his brother on Sunday at Joint Base Andrews, addressed the controversy on Tuesday during a meeting with his Cabinet. In a shock move on Tuesday, the PGA ceased its war with rival LIV Golf and decided to merge with the Saudi-backed entity -...

According to several ‘Chosen’ actors, tolerance is apparently a one-way street.I have never been one to jump on the boycott bandwagon. Sure, if I have a choice between a seller that shares my values and one that doesn’t, I will choose to do business with the former. And if I turn on a program or walk into a store that assaults me from every side with the demand that I embrace something I can’t, I will turn around and leave.However, until recent backlash efforts like those against Bud Light and Target, I haven’t seen boycotts accomplish much. And I find...

Adoor on the West side of the U.S. Capitol was left open and mostly unguarded for key moments during the Jan. 6 riot, allowing more than 300 people to enter the building unimpeded even as officers fought valiantly to keep protesters out of other sections of the official home of Congress, according to police security footage obtained by Just the News. The footage -- which confirms concerns first raised by Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., two years ago -- shows an episode in a narrow hallway in the middle of the Capitol that began around 2:30p.m. on Jan. 6, 2021 right...

The Washington Post just spent 5,000 words and two years of reporting to smear something it demanded every parent do just three years ago.Record-breaking numbers of families continue to abandon public schools after lockdowns exposed their mass abuse of children, and The Washington Post is willing to descend into tabloid smear mode to try to stop them. Last week it profiled a couple who were homeschooled and have put their own children into public school. The article takes the couple’s side against their own parents, airing wild allegations of systemic child abuse against all homeschoolers based on the testimony of...

TREASON: The four pillars in the globalists' strategy to impose Marxism in America: IMF, CRT, IRS, ESG By Ezequiel Doiny American officials are deliberately betraying their nation and sabotaging American economic power. American officials are not defending the interests of the American people but those of the globalists who are trying to impose Marxism in America. There are four pillars in the globalists' strategy to impose Marxism in America: IMF, CRT, IRS, ESG 1.

A study reports that the additive neuroprotection of a combination of two omega-3 fatty acid-derived signaling molecules is more effective in protecting brain cells and increasing recovery from stroke in an experimental model than a single drug. The team examined the bioactivity of Neuroprotectin D1 (NPD1—discovered by the Bazan lab in 2003) combined with Resolvin D1 (RvD1) in experimental stroke. These two naturally occurring neuroprotective molecules in the brain derived from docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) called docosanoids have been shown to limit excessive inflammatory responses, regulate metabolism and immune cell functions, decrease the production of proinflammatory factors,...

Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin dismissed Russia's claims to have inflicted heavy losses on Ukraine in the Donbas when Kyiv attempted offensive action. Prigozhin said the claims were "simply wild and absurd science fiction". But Russia's defence ministry doubled down on the claims on Tuesday, saying Ukraine suffered over 3,700 casualties. Russia said the attack was part of a Ukrainian "long-promised offensive" in the Donetsk region, which took place over Sunday and Monday. Ukraine's military said on Monday that it had no information about a major attack in the region, and that it wouldn't comment on claims it called "fake". Speaking...

Drinking beetroot juice every day for six months after having a stent fitted reduced the chance of angina patients having a heart attack or needing a repeat procedure, according to new research. The researchers found that 16 percent of angina patients had a serious heart or circulatory incident, like a heart attack or need for another procedure, in the two years after having a stent fitted. However, when patients had beetroot juice daily, this dropped to 7.5 percent. Thousands of coronary heart disease patients each year in the UK have a stent implanted, in a procedure known as a percutaneous...

Truman's inaction against China during the Korean war made the World a much more dangerous place since China assisted both Pakistan and North Korea to obtain nuclear weapons; China consolidated its takeover of Tibet causing much suffering. Lives could have been saved in Vietnam if Truman had attacked China during the Korean War. Inaction against China during the Korean War had its price. What would be the consequences of inaction against Iran? By Ezequiel Doiny Harvard Belfer Center reports China is winning the economic race with the US.

Chris Christie appealed to Republican bigwigs in a private meeting in which he made his case that he would be the solution to their Trump problem, expressing his willingness to be deployed as a human torpedo to sink the 2024 GOP frontrunner in a 45-minute rant in New Hampshire, according to a new report on the former New Jersey governor who is ready to declare his candidacy. The Daily Mail dished the scoop on Christie’s clandestine meeting with “Republican kingmakers” that reportedly took place behind closed doors six weeks ago as the buzz began to build that the ABC News...

Last month, the Biden administration’s Environmental Protection Agency proposed new power plant regulations that would put harsh limits on the amount of carbon dioxide released while producing electricity. This comes from the same administration pushing to electrify all parts of daily life, from driving to cooking. As if slamming the power grid with artificial demand is not enough, now the federal government has also set its sights on electricity suppliers. Policies as ludicrous as this are only possible because the ideology they rest on, environmentalism, has long enjoyed a perch on the moral high ground that has gone almost unchallenged....

Most mainstream scientists argue that the possible existence of spacecraft from a non-human origin is an “extraordinary claim” that is not worth a serious study until “extraordinary evidence” falls to their lap. The reason this evidence has to fall into their lap is because they are not engaged in the search for such evidence, and so its non-existence is a self-fulfilling prophecy. The simple answer to Enrico Fermi’s paradox: “Where is everybody?” is “To find out whether you have neighbors, you better use a telescopes or check your backyard for objects that came from the street.” Over the past two...
