If you paid any attention to the 2020 election, it's obvious there was no possibility that Biden would have won if it were not for the "mail in" ballots. 2000 Mules documented 2000 mules in key cities each making at least 10 trips to ballot drop off boxes...carrying who knows how many ballots at a time. My guess is Biden's support is going to be a bit lower yet in 2024 if he is indeed the democrats nominee. So...what game will the democrats play to win? A. The return of Covid. B. A new virus will emerge. C. A cyber...

@RandPaul @POTUS and BOTH parties in Congress are robbing Americans to pay Ukraine with money they borrowed from China. The number one threat to our national security is our debt and our country is $33 trillion in debt. We don’t make America or Ukraine any safer by giving endless handouts.

A renowned climatologist has said that the alleged scientific consensus on “climate change” is a “manufactured consensus” perpetuated by the United Nations (U.N.). In an interview with libertarian journalist and pundit John Stossel, climatologist Judith Curry said that the “manufactured consensus” existed because a scientist would achieve “fame and fortune” for exaggerating the risks associated with “climate change.” Curry, who formerly served as the chair of the School of Earth & Atmospheric Sciences at the Georgia Institute of Technology, admitted that she used to spread alarmism about “climate change” herself. “We found that the percent of Category 4 and 5...

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (WSFA) - A fifth suspect in the Montgomery riverfront brawl investigation has been arrested nearly a week after the incident captured national attention. On Friday, Montgomery police said Reggie Ray, 42, turned himself in. His surrender came days after law enforcement requested he come forward. Ray is alleged to be the person seen on video hitting someone with a folding chair. He’s now being held in the Montgomery Municipal Jail on a misdemeanor disorderly conduct charge.

Midday yesterday, the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported that the US and Saudi Arabia have agreed to “the broad contours of a deal for Saudi Arabia to recognize Israel.” As I’ve reported several times in the past, included in the agreement would be a US guarantee of Saudi Arabia’s safety, assistance by Washington in civilian nuclear development, and some significant concessions by Israel regarding the Palestinians. The news media went wild, and many people couldn’t contain their excitement. Where you didn’t find excitement was in Israel’s leadership who are not at all ready to budge on Palestinian issues, a position...

Conservatives celebrated the return of free speech and lack of left-wing censorship when eccentric billionaire Elon Musk purchased Twitter last year but a partnership announced this week by Twitter's liberal CEO suggests the pendulum could be swinging in the other Big Brother-like direction. In July, Musk announced he was rebranding Twitter as “X,” as he replaced the blue background and happy little bird with a black and white X. X’s far-leftCEO Linda Yaccarino on Tuesday announced it had come to terms with Integral Ad Science, which seeks to help advertisers and publishers identify posts and content they might find objectionable....

Attorney General Merrick Garland announced the appointment of United States Attorney David Weiss as special counsel in the investigation of Hunter Biden yesterday. The Department of Justice has posted Garland’s statement here. Why Weiss? That is a difficult question to answer honestly in public. Indeed, Garland took no questions — ignoring a reporter who asked why Weiss had been elevated to special counsel if he had “ultimate authority” to prosecute, as Garland claimed in sworn congressional testimony earlier this year. Weiss is special. On that we can agree: • Weiss is the “prosecutor” whose plea deal with Hunter Biden failed...

A man's five minutes of fame at a Florida golf course where he hit a hole-in-one and had his picture taken is what allegedly helped officers arrest and charge him in connection with a deadly assault that took place in the course's parking lot. The Sumter County Sheriff's arrested Robert Moore, 75, of the Villages, on July 27 and charged him with aggravated manslaughter on an elderly person in connection with the June 28 incident that took place at the Glenview Country Club, court documents say. Dean Zook, 87, allegedly was heading to the club that day with his wife...

Russia loses yet another fighter jet during a training exercise, as Ukraine strikes the Kerch bridge yet again. A Su-30 fighter jet crashed during a training flight on Saturday in Russia's Kaliningrad region, killing the two pilots on board, RIA news agency quoted the Defense Ministry as saying. "The Su-30 aircraft crashed in a deserted area. The flight was being carried out without ammunition. The crew of the aircraft died," the ministry said in a statement cited by RIA. It said the likely cause of the crash was a technical malfunction but gave no further information.

Their housing situation is a stretch. Homeless people are beating pricey rents in Queens’ hottest neighborhood by living out of their cars and RVs — including two men living the high life out of a beat-up limousine. In the shadow of luxury high-rise apartments, at least four vehicles are being used as homes along an isolated five-block stretch of Queens Plaza South in Long Island City, The Post found this week. Among them was a grey Lincoln Town Car Royale with busted-in tinted windows, paint stripped off its roof, many dents, and no license plates.

Buying a home in California slipped further out of reach as interest rates climbed and scarce inventory bolstered prices. Only 16% of households could qualify to purchase a median-priced single-family home in the second quarter, the California Association of Realtors reported Friday. That’s down from 19% in the first quarter and 17% a year earlier.

The Kremlin has claimed it has downed two Ukrainian missiles aimed at Russia's Kerch Bridge to Crimea - as video shows smoke billowing over the crucial link to the annexed peninsula. The 12-mile crossing carries heavy significance for Moscow, both logistically and psychologically, as a key artery for military and civilian supplies and as an assertion of Kremlin control of the peninsula it illegally annexed in 2014. Russia's foreign ministry vowed retaliation for what it called a 'terrorist attack' on the bridge in Crimea.

Republican presidential hopeful Chris Christie said on Friday that GOP rival, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, “sounds like a really angry guy” and questioned whether he “cares about healing the divide” in the country. “He sounds like a really angry guy,” Christie said at a WMUR town hall in New Hampshire. “He’s squinting his eyes all the time and pissed about something, you know. So, I’m skeptical, right. I’m skeptical that somebody who’s that angry cares about healing the divide or has the ability to do it.”

US Rep. Cori Bush pocketed $15,000 for teaching a university summer course on reparations, according to her financial disclosure report. The Missouri congresswoman — and longtime champion of offering cash payments to black Americans as compensation for slavery — earned the dough from George Mason University for co-teaching the class “The Public Pedagogy of Truth and Reparations.”

Explanation: It's fun to scribble on the canvas of the sky. You can use a creative photographic technique to cause the light of point-like stars to dance across a digital image by tapping lightly on the telescope while making an exposure. The result will be a squiggly line traced by the star (or two squiggles traced by binary stars) that can reveal the star's color. Colorful lines, dubbed Ghirigori, made from stars found in the northern sky constellations Bootes, Corona Borealis, Ophiucus, and Coma Berenices, are captured in this artistic mosaic. The 25 stars creating the varied and colorful squiggles...

The Russian Defense Ministry announced Saturday that it had downed 20 Ukrainian drones over Crimea, as well as stopped two missile strikes on the Kerch Bridge which connects Crimea to mainland Russia. No casualties were reported in the strikes.
