Recently a Young guy from Virginia wrote a song. He sang it in his backyard to a microphone and his dogs. Surrounded by dead cars from the 1990s and a deer hunting stand, he sang it loud. The words were his feelings and simple, and he yelled them loudly so they could echo down the holler. Like the silent shock waves from a thunderclap, the message from his heart and his soul reverberated out of the woods, out of the holler, onto the internet, around the world, and the pain from his acoustic guitar shocked millions of people. Overnight, his...

Amazon CEO Andy Jassy has unequivocally told employees that non-compliance with the company’s return-to-office mandate “is probably not going to work out for you.” Business Insider reports that in a recent internal meeting, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy made it abundantly clear that employees who do not adhere to the company’s return-to-office policy should consider other employment options. “It’s past the time to disagree and commit,” Jassy said during the meeting. “And if you can’t disagree and commit, it’s probably not going to work out for you at Amazon.” The directive requires Amazon employees to be in the office at least...

CNN appointed Mark Thompson as CEO, the notorious former BBC director general who was in charge when the network decided to cover up the crimes of the celebrity pedophile Jimmy Savile, while he was still actively abusing children. At the tail end of his 8-year stint at the BBC, Thompson became embroiled in the pedophilia scandal after the state broadcaster nixed a segment about an investigation into Savile, a longtime BBC presenter and accused pedophile. The segment was slated to air on BBC’s Newsnight program in 2011, but was cancelled by high-level executives at the last minute. Thompson denied having...

Twitter podcaster Tucker Carlson is pounding home the theory that Democrats and the D.C. establishment are plotting to kill Donald Trump, this time claiming that we’re “speeding toward assassination” because “permanent Washington” has decided they “just can’t have” Trump as president again.Appearing on anti-woke comedian Adam Carolla’s YouTube show this week, Carlson weighed in on his sitdown with Trump that aired on X, the site formerly known as Twitter, last week. That interview was planned by both Carlson and Trump—both of whom have their own grievances with Fox News—as counter-programming to the right-wing network’s GOP presidential primary debate that Trump...

Retiring to a place in the sun will cost thousands of seniors their lives, experts have warned, as soaring temperatures leave them at the mercy of failing power grids. Record numbers of retirees are heading for the Sun Belt states of the south, attracted by lower living costs and the prospect of warmer winters. But temperatures are soaring dangerously in the most popular destinations with 110F in Phoenix for 31 days straight this summer and 116F recorded in Nevada, condemning many to months indoors and leaving them one power cut away from peril. Brian Stone Jr. of Georgia Tech has...

Unnamed Republican lawmakers allegedly fear “there’s no evidence” of wrongdoing against President Joe Biden to open an impeachment inquiry, Politico Playbook claimed Wednesday. Politico, which continually works to suppress the Biden family business scandal, wrote an article in its morning newsletter that suggested some Republicans are concerned about the lack of evidence against Joe Biden to open an impeachment inquiry. The publication did not cite any particular lawmakers, claiming only that they were “moderate Republicans in Biden-won districts.” Republican lawmakers are “privately fretting that there’s no evidence to back up their conservative colleagues’ accusations that the president benefited from his...

Dave Gahary of Money Tree Publishing is considered a dangerous extremist by the likes of the [REDACTGED]. But who are the real extremists? Dave agrees with folks like Alan Sabrosky that the nihilists of what passes for the left are far more extreme and dangerous than Trump’s deplorables and J6ers. He also agrees with “Doc” Sabrosky that the US is inching toward civil war.

The Scandinavian country suffered fewer excess deaths and far less economic and social damage than other rich countries that had more restrictive pandemic policies.The reigning narrative of Sweden during the pandemic is that the Swedish government took a brazenly hands-off approach to COVID-19—and suffered mass, avoidable deaths as a result. During the spring and summer of 2020, Sweden bucked the international trend by not issuing emergency stay-at-home orders, mask mandates, or school closures. With the exception of restrictions on nursing home visits and large gatherings, the country stayed open during that time. The concurrent spike in COVID deaths it experienced,...

A federal judge compared Waylon Bailey’s Facebook jest to "falsely shouting fire in a theatre."Back in March 2020, a dozen or so sheriff's deputies wearing bullet-proof vests descended upon Waylon Bailey's home in Rapides Parish, Louisiana, with their guns drawn, ordered him onto his knees with his hands on his head, and arrested him for a felony punishable by up to 15 years in prison. The SWAT-style raid was provoked by a Facebook post in which Bailey had made a zombie-themed joke about COVID-19. Although a federal appeals court recently ruled that Bailey could pursue civil rights claims based on...

Democrats' persecution plans are backfiring big time... Last Updated on August 29, 2023A seismic shift is being felt in American politics as support for 45th President Trump among black voters explodes amidst the deep state’s lawfare efforts to throw him in prison and kick him off of the ballot in 2024’s Presidential Election.

During the media gaggle following the forum, McConnell appeared to have another episode where he was having a hard time hearing reporters and taking a long pause before aides...

People should be free to choose how cautious to be. Mask mandates, lockdowns, and closing schools won't stop the virus.COVID-19 cases are up. Hospitalizations climbed 24 percent last week. But the media make everything seem scarier than it is. The headline "Up 24 Percent!" comes after dramatic lows. Hospitalizations are still less than half what they were when President Joe Biden said, "The pandemic is over." Yet the shallow media keep pounding away: "It may be time to break out the masks," headlined CNN. Frightened people believe. The movie studio Lionsgate reinstated an office mask mandate. Atlanta's Morris Brown College...

Did you catch wind of the shooting at the Chicago White Sox game yesterday? The crowd, understandably freaked out and scattered in all different directions. Here was the initial report from AP: — A shooting that wounded two women at Friday night’s Chicago White Sox-Oakland Athletics game most likely involved a gun that went off inside Guaranteed Rate Field, Chicago’s interim police superintendent said Monday. Officials have said little about where the bullets came from, or if someone brought a gun into the stadium, but Fred Waller, interim superintendent of Chicago Police Department, said Monday that investigators have nearly ruled...

What I don’t understand is why he’s bringing up race – implying that trickle down economics work for White people. For a while Boomers were on corporate welfare but now that’s fallen apart. These days trickle down economics are just a complete failure. Biden is all talk though. If he actually did something about trickle down economics, don’t you think I would be singing his praise instead of blaming him for standing in the way of people like Yang and Sanders? Wage slavery is much a problem for White people as it is for Black people. The reason people don’t...

The first person to allegedly enter the Capitol’s southwest terrace tunnel on Jan. 6, 2021, has been arrested by the FBI — more than two years after the riot, the Justice Department announced Wednesday. Brett Rotella of North Carolina became infamous among post-Jan. 6 internet sleuths because of his identifiable outfit — a red skull cap, a dark vest over a red sleeveless shirt and light-colored shorts. He has been accused of leading a large group of rioters toward the tunnel and charging U.S. Capitol Police, while turning his back to deflect rubber bullets from the officers
