A male murderer who identifies as “transgender” and was sent to a women’s prison has been accused of “preying” on inmates and bragging about receiving “special treatment,” according to a report from Washington Free Beacon. Reportedly, Dana Rivers, 68, who was previously known as David Chester Warfield, shot and stabbed a lesbian couple and shot their son to death in November 2016. This month, Rivers was sentenced to life in prison, which Townhall covered.I mean, did they expect anything different?"I'm a woman" is essentially a get out of jail free card to males convicted of heinous crimes like murder, kidnapping,...

Let them debate so I can see who I MIGHT consider for Vice President!

Florida has seen a huge surge in leprosy cases, with rising evidence suggesting the disease is becoming endemic in the southeastern United States. Leprosy, which is scientifically known as Hansen's disease, is a chronic infectious disease that primarily affects the skin and peripheral nervous system. The number of reported leprosy cases in the southeastern states has more than doubled over the past decade, according to the CDC. Florida is witnessing an increase in leprosy cases lacking traditional risk factors, the body added. It noted that Central Florida accounts for 81 per cent of cases reported in the state and almost...

BREAKING: Sen. Rand Paul has criminally referred Fauci for committing “crimes against humanity.”

Democrats are concerned that black voters won’t turn out for President Joe Biden in 2024 like they did during the 2020 election, according to The Washington Post. Democrats are increasingly worried after the 2022 midterms saw a 10% voting drop among the crucial electorate, despite the party’s victories in the Senate, according to the Post. Party activists are now making it a priority to bolster turnout for black voters, particularly in key battleground states Biden narrowly secured in 2020 — Georgia, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan. “The Democratic Party has been failing epically at reaching this demographic of black men —...

Repeatedly trying to slap lipstick on President Joe Biden’s ramshackled economy just got a lot harder for the presstitutes. Americans aren’t buying it. A new CBS News/YouGov poll found that a majority 65 percent of Americans view the economy as “bad.” Specifically, the survey of 2,181 U.S. adult residents revealed that 61 percent described the economy as “struggling;” 56 percent said “uncertain;” 36 percent said “unfair;” and 27 percent said “punishing.” What’s even more damning is that a majority of the respondents placed either “a great deal” (44 percent) or some (36 percent) of the blame on Biden’s disastrous economic...

Angry residents and workers Sunday decried the hordes of hookers brazenly peddling themselves on a Queens street, where it was business as usual the day after The Post exposed the rampant illegal trade. “The police do nothing — nothing!” fumed Anna Garcia, 42, who works at a cellphone store along the seedy stretch of Roosevelt Avenue in Corona dubbed the “Market of Sweethearts” by the prostitutes. “Drugs, prostitution, alcohol — it’s terrible,” she said of the flagrant “underground” red-light district taking over the neighborhood filled with families with children.

A mugger possibly posing as a UPS delivery man beat a woman with a weighted sock and robbed her of $25 inside the elevator of a Manhattan building over the weekend, police said Sunday. The 26-year-old victim was getting off the lift in the building at East 27th Street and Third Avenue in Kips Bay at around noon on Saturday when the creep pulled her back in and beat her “multiple times” in the back of the head with what cops described as “a sock filled with an unknown object.” He then grabbed the small amount of cash from her...

An anti-hate speech campaign group has accused Elon Musk’s X Corp of intimidation after the owner of the rebranded social media site X, formerly known as Twitter, threatened legal action over the organisation’s research into hate speech on the platform. The Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) has regularly conducted research into the platform’s content since it was bought last year by Musk and has produced work claiming publication of hateful material on the site has risen since the $44bn (£34.2bn) deal was completed. Musk’s legal representative has written to CCDH and its chief executive, Imran Ahmed, accusing the organisation...

Ron DeSantis slips, according to the latest Morning Consult weekly survey.This week’s survey showed 78 percent of potential Republican primary voters viewing Trump favorably.

In this episode, we're exploring the abandoned Richmond Town Square Mall just outside of Cleveland. Originally opened in 1966, it was one of the largest of its time and was an early example of the American shopping mall. It closed in 2021 and is awaiting demolition for a new mixed-use development

The Biden Administration will implement a ban on incandescent light bulbs starting next week in favor of energy-efficient bulbs, following a yearslong bipartisan effort to phase out the bulbs after earlier regulations and standards were blocked by former President Donald Trump. The Department of Energy approved new rules for light bulbs last year that will take effect on August 1, including a new minimum standard for light bulbs at 45 lumens—or brightness—per watt, an increase over the average 12 to 18 lumens per watt for incandescent bulbs. Retailers will be prohibited from selling any bulbs—including incandescent bulbs—that don’t match the...

After Hunter Biden’s plea deal dramatically fell apart in court this week, the Department of Justice made clear it is still looking into potential foreign lobbying and money laundering charges against him. And now after a painstaking investigation using documents from Hunter's abandoned laptop, interviews with sources and subpoenaed records obtained by DailyMail.com, we can reveal exactly what evidence may be used against the First Son. The information lays out a laundry list of potential foreign influence violations that span China, Russia, Ukraine, Romania, Kazakhstan, Mexico and other Latin American countries.

Four people were killed in two separate crashes during an airshow in Wisconsin over the weekend — including the daughter of two-time Super Bowl-winning offensive lineman Bruce Collie — days after celebrating her third wedding anniversary. Collie’s daughter, Devyn Reiley, 30, and her co-pilot Zach Colliemoreno, 20, were flying a World War II-era T-6 Texan during the AirVenture Oshkosh airshow when the aircraft plunged into Lake Winnebago at around 9 a.m. Saturday, five minutes after takeoff, according to the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA). The vintage aircraft had reached 3,900 feet before plummeting into the lake. Witnesses of the fatal crash...

Carlos De Oliveira, former President Trump’s newest co-defendant in the Mar-a-Lago case, was released on a $100,000 bond after an initial court appearance Monday. De Oliveira was named as a co-conspirator in the case in a Thursday superseding indictment that accused the Mar-a-Lago property manager of coordinating with Trump to attempt to delete security camera footage that showed him and another defendant in the case, Walt Nauta, moving boxes in and out of a storage room.

Elon Musk has over the last year threatened legal action against tech competitors, employees and people who use Twitter, which he owns. Now he is also taking aim at an organization that studies hate speech and misinformation on social media. X Corp., the parent company of the social media company, sent a letter on July 20 to the Center for Countering Digital Hate, a nonprofit that conducts research on social media, accusing the organization of making “a series of troubling and baseless claims that appear calculated to harm Twitter generally, and its digital advertising business specifically” and threatening to sue....

@MzSgtPepper: I am proposing that August 1st be a “Tweet Out” day where blue voters take the day off from tweeting. Think of the revenue lost for Twitter - X if we did that. Best way to affect change with a billionaire is to hit them in the wallet. RT if you are with me. #August1stTweetOutDay @MarkHammill This will only be effective if EVERYONE refrains from tweeting (X-ing?) on August 1st a/k/a #TweetlessTuesday. Let's show the owner the POWER OF THE PEOPLE. Honestly, would it kill you to keep your thoughts to yourself for 1 damn day? Read a book!...

Julius Malema, leader of the EFF and a Member of Parliament in South Africa raised the slogans ‘kill the boer, farmer..’ during the anniversary rally of EFF. This has yet again sparked a huge controversy and organizations like AGRI SA and Afriforum have openly criticized the act calling it a step too far. Malema, leader of the EFF ( Economic Freedom Fighters), a far left political outfit, has agitated many people in South Africa by chanting the lyrics of the infamous song ‘Dubul’ Ibhuno’ or Kill The Boer. The particular song’s lyrics were declared hate speech once but last year...

(Daily readings from the USCCB)He spoke to them another parable. “The Kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took and mixed with three measures of wheat flour until the whole batch was leavened.” Matthew 13:33Yeast is powerful. Though it often accounts for only about 1% of a loaf of bread, it causes that loaf to more than double in size. Of course, it also has the amazing effect of turning the dough soft and flexible as it rises. Without yeast, the dough would remain stiff and much smaller in size. The dough would not become the bread it...

I've read stories of witness intimidation by gangsters and I've seen lots of such stories on TV but there's nothing like seeing it go down in real time. Joe Biden isn't even trying to hide it anymore. You have to give Joe Biden for the chutzpah to threaten and intimidate witnesses using the DOJ and the FBI as his muscleright in front of your eyes. Soon after James Comer announced that he had several eyewitnesses against the Biden Cosa Nostra funny things began to happen. The witnesses are being taken out. Gal Luft: Dr. Gal Luft, a key figure in...
