Ben & Jerry’s says that the United States was built on stolen indigenous land and that it should be returned. The iconic ice cream company made this statement on July 4th across social media platforms and its own website. This was an obvious response to Independence Day. There are groups of people across the nation who refuse to celebrate July 4th because of the subjugation of native and black Americans. There is just one small problem with Ben & Jerry’s message. Their own headquarters sits on “stolen” land in Vermont. Shortly after their social media post, a Native tribe with...

The Democrat-led movement to lower the legal voting age to 16 — or in some cases even younger — is gaining momentum as teenagers and other activists seek to score local victories while winning the support of some voices in the media. The so-called "Vote 16" campaign recently notched a victory in Vermont, where the Democrat-controlled state legislature last month overrode Republican Gov. Phil Scott's veto of a measure allowing 16-year-olds to vote in municipal elections and hold the highest elected offices. Specifically, 16- and 17-year-olds can now vote in the southern Vermont town of Brattleboro. Young voters will be...

This is the full length interview of Tucker with Russell Brand.

On Thursday and Friday, artificial intelligence-powered “humanoid” bots gathered to take part in the UN’s two-day AI for Good Global Summit in Geneva, Switzerland to pitch the “benefits” of the technology. The summit was focusing on how to harness the novel power of artificial intelligence for the good of mankind. During the event, AI technology companies gave chilling presentations of their “humanoid” robots’ abilities.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy returned from a visit to Turkey on Saturday, bringing home five former commanders of Ukraine's garrison in Mariupol despite a prisoner exchange last year under which the men were meant to remain in Turkey. Russia immediately denounced the release of the men. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Turkey had violated the prisoner exchange terms and had failed to inform Moscow. -snip- "We are returning home from Turkey and bringing our heroes home," said Zelenskiy who met Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan for talks in Istanbul on Friday. "Ukrainian soldiers Denys Prokopenko, Svyatoslav Palamar, Serhiy Volynsky, Oleh Khomenko,...

QUESTION: Do you think the BRICS would create a gold-back currency as proposed by Russia? SJ ANSWER: The Neocon has directed the Biden administration to remove Russia from SWIFT. Their single-minded goal is destroying the world economy, but they do not care. They think they will conquer Russia and China and dominate the world so they will worry about the monetary system afterward. You have to understand that if the BRICS followed that directive and created a single gold-back currency, they would have to end any idea of international trade. This proposal is understandable given the hostility of the United...

When the White House announced on Friday that it would agree to supply Ukraine with cluster munitions, it came after assurances from Pentagon officials that the weapons had been improved to minimize the danger to civilians. The Pentagon said the weapons they would send to Ukraine had a failure rate of 2.35 percent or less, far better than the usual rate that is common for cluster weapons. But the Pentagon’s own statements indicate that the cluster munitions in question contain older grenades known to have a failure rate of 14 percent or more. Pentagon officials have said the shells they...

VIDEOAlthough almost all of us have White House cocaine suspect #1 in mind as the obvious perp, a very strong case can also be made for cocaine suspect #2 based solely on this person's behavior and strange manner of speaking while saying exactly NOTHING.

Explanation: Stickney Crater, the largest crater on the martian moon Phobos, is named for Chloe Angeline Stickney Hall, mathematician and wife of astronomer Asaph Hall. Asaph Hall discovered both the Red Planet's moons in 1877. Over 9 kilometers across, Stickney is nearly half the diameter of Phobos itself, so large that the impact that blasted out the crater likely came close to shattering the tiny moon. This enhanced-color image of Stickney and surroundings was recorded by the HiRISE camera onboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter as it passed within some six thousand kilometers of Phobos in March of 2008. Even though...

In a move expected to fuel the ongoing de-dollarization trend, the BRICS nations (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) have announced plans to introduce a new trading currency backed by gold. The official announcement is slated to take place during the BRICS summit in South Africa in August. This development comes as central banks worldwide have been increasing their gold reserves to diversify away from the U.S. dollar—especially those belonging to the BRICS nations. In fact, the Chinese and Russian central banks have purchased no less than 130 tons of gold in Q1 and Q2 2023 alone. In 2022,...

The playbook the pimps of war use to lure us into one military fiasco after another, including Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria and now Ukraine, does not change. Freedom and democracy are threatened. Evil must be vanquished. Human rights must be protected. The fate of Europe and NATO, along with a "rules-based international order" is at stake. Victory is assured.The results are also the same. The justifications and narratives are exposed as lies. The cheery prognosis is false. Those on whose behalf we are supposedly fighting are as venal as those we are fighting against.The Russian invasion of Ukraine was...

Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tenn., has introduced a proposal that would require biological women who identify as men to register with Selective Service in case the U.S. ever has another military draft. "If they want to be treated like men, then they need to do what other men do and register for the Selective Service and get called up like everybody else," Burchett told Military.com. "This group of people is more protected than any other group, and it's not right." Burchett proposed an amendment to the annual bill that authorizes the Department of Defense's spending and policy priorities for the next...

Newly unsealed court documents in Trump indictment reveal that DOJ-laced pictures of Mar-a-Lago boxes did not contain state secrets: FBI agent who signed the warrant stated the boxes also contained “challenge coins, garment bags, memorabilia, photograph frames and other décor” Furthermore redacted from the Mar-a-Lago search warrant affidavit AG Garland agreed to publicly release was the fact that a US Secret Service officer escorted Trump’s lawyers into the storage room during the search for classified docs to comply with grand jury subpoena in June 2022.

A new fleet of shark-monitoring drones will be sent to New York coastlines in response to a frightening spate of bites and sightings near Long Island this week, state officials said Friday. The state is fighting shark attacks with dozens more of the battery-powered devices — which track the man-eaters from above — after five people reported being bitten in waters off Long Island during a two-day period, state park officials said. “We are now more vigilant than ever,” said George Gorman, the state’s park director in Long Island. “We have drones in the sky that watch over the waters....

CNN and many other leftists in the media does not want you to see this. That should make you want to see it and question their motives.

All six passengers aboard a small plane were killed in a fiery crash in Southern California early Saturday, marking the second deadly air wreck in the area this week. Heavy fog blanketed the area, which may have caused the plane to miss the runway and land in the field several hundred yards away, reported KTLA. “The airplane crashed short of French Valley Airport during its second approach around 4:15 a.m.,” a spokesperson for the National Transportation Safety Board told the outlet.

In the wake of the 1986 Challenger space-shuttle explosion, Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman knew that the truth would both fuel progress and soothe the nation’s sorrow. “For a successful technology,” he said, “reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled.” For three years, pandemic public relations mocked nature, generating fear, illness, inflation and excess death beyond what the virus caused. Digital censorship supercharged the effort to hide reality, but reality is getting its day in court. On July 4, U.S. District Judge Terry Doughty temporarily blocked numerous federal agencies and the White House from collaborating...
