Mask Up and Don’t Ask Question“We know they are lying, they know they are lying, they know we know they are lying, we know they know we know they are lying, but they are still lying.” ~ SolzhenitsynOur wise and benevolent liberal overlords, satisfied with how well their exploitation of the covid pandemic went three years ago, have decided to do it all over again since the nonconformists, for all their outrage, never got around to holding them accountable. Not for the lockdowns. Not for the censorship. Not for the toxic injections. Not for shoving infected patients into nursing homes....

According to Mykola Azarov, the former Ukrainian Prime Minister, Ukraine's economy is a "zombie" that only has one lifeline: Western financing. The former PM wrote on Telegram on Monday that the economy was "falling apart," Azarov argued that Ukraine's national economy is “falling apart,” with Ukraine facing little GDP growth and a potential devaluation of the hryvna "under pressure from the International Monetary Fund." Meanwhile, despite Western help, state debt is rising, and the fiscal deficit is growing, according to Azarov. “The best illustration of the catastrophic state of affairs is that the budget of the country at war lacks...

Epps entered Capitol grounds on Jan. 6 as a supporter of former President Donald Trump. He told the Jan. 6 committee that the conspiracy theories about him ruined his life. WASHINGTON — Ray Epps, a Jan. 6 participant whose removal from the FBI's Capitol Violence webpage sparked conspiracy theories that he was a federal informant, was charged in connection with the Capitol attack on Tuesday. Epps is charged with one misdemeanor count, disorderly or disruptive conduct on restricted grounds. He was charged by information, which suggests that he plans to enter a plea deal. The criminal information charges that...

Burying the lede a bit here, but I want to set this up so you can fully grasp what a problem was created with Trump’s last interview. In order for the pro-life movement to be victorious states need to be free to restrict or ban abortion-as-birth control. We are there right now — 24 stats have moved to ban, restrict, or are on the path to do so. This point was only obtained post-Roe with Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health. The Dobbs case undid the Roe argument that a woman’s private decision to have an abortion was enshrined somewhere in...

In his years as the chief executive of one of Ukraine's biggest construction firms, Oleh Maiboroda kept rolls of dollar bills in a safe behind his desk. The money, Maiboroda told Reuters, was intended to bribe public officials to approve building projects. The task of handing over the cash, he said, was entrusted to a lawyer named Oleh Tatarov, now a senior adviser to Ukraine's president Volodymyr Zelenskiy. "Tatarov used to solve all issues with law enforcement," Maiboroda said in an interview in Vienna, where he has settled to escape prosecution in Ukraine for his own alleged role in corruption...

VIDEOChunk Yogurt aka Cenk Uygur of The Young Turks recently appeared on "The Hill Rising" hyping a book he wrote. At first things went slightly normal for Chunk but after the first mention of the taboo name of "Jimmy Dore," Chunk was hilariously triggered into a series of bizarre meltdowns. One big cause for Chunk going BERSERK over hearing Jimmy's name is that Dore grabbed a big chunk of Chunk's TYT audience resulting in The Jimmy Dore show by far exceeding in traffic Chunk's dwindling audience. Chunk's mind has been so DESTROYED by jealousy over the overwhelming success of Jimmy...

President Trump’s Meet the Press interview – where he decried some conservative messaging on abortion – has attracted the ire of many of the institutional, D.C. “pro lifers” who presided over no actual changes on the matter, in America, for over four decades. These people – some of whom claim America’s Founding Fathers are in hell right now – profited off it indiscriminately, but it was Trump who finally managed to bring an end to Roe v. Wade by appointing Supreme Court justices who supported his perspective: that it is a matter for the states.Now, the same groups who cheered...

The New Hampshire father of two who died after an incident at Gillette Stadium during the New England Patriots game Sunday had been punched in the face and knocked unconscious by a Miami Dolphins fan, according to a witness. Dale Mooney, 53, was treated at the scene by EMTs and rushed to a hospital after what had been described as an “apparent medical event,” but was pronounced dead shortly before midnight. A spectator has now claimed that he witnessed a physical altercation between Mooney and a Dolphins fan. “The Dolphins fan walks over and clearly punches him in the face,”...

Is it plausible that the real rainmaker of Biden, Inc. was the only one who didn’t get paid?It’s hardly a surprise that the corporate media have rushed to the defense of President Biden pursuant to the impeachment inquiry announced last week by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy. More surprising is the absurdity of the arguments they offer on his behalf. For years, his denials notwithstanding, Biden knew his son ran an international enterprise whose only real service was selling access to the Vice President of the United States to foreign entities who hoped to procure favorable policy decisions from the Obama...

In addition to the hearing, the spokesperson told Breitbart News the committee intends to subpoena Hunter Biden and James Biden’s bank records as early as this week.

United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres opened the annual high-level debate at the U.N. General Assembly on Tuesday – where over 100 heads of government are expected to speak, demanding $100 billion from “developed countries” to fight allegedly deadly “climate chaos.” Guterres made the “climate crisis” a core part of address, the first as per tradition at the event. “No more dirty production. No more fake solutions. No more bankrolling climate denial,” the U.N. chief demanded.

Girl-children and their Pied Pipers took to the streets of Manhattan over the weekend, demanding -- demanding! -- an end to all traditional sources of energy and the immediate installation of the net-zero, carbon-free, powered-by-unicorn-farts utopian future they believe they're owed because, well, just because. The "March to End Fossil Fuels" was an orchestrated kickoff to "Climate Week" convened to Save the Planet and featured appearances by the usual suspects, including la Pasionaria herself, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, as well notable lefty actors such as Susan Sarandon, Kyra Sedgewick, Ethan Hawke, Edward Norton, and Kevin Bacon, who all have time on...

People across at least 10 states have now been infected by BA.2.86, a highly mutated variant of the virus that causes COVID-19 that authorities have been closely tracking. According to data tallied from the global virus database GISAID, labs have reported finding BA.2.86 in samples from Colorado, Maryland, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia and Washington. Estimates suggest BA.2.86 still remains a small fraction of new COVID-19 cases nationwide. Too few sequences of the virus have been reported to show up on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's biweekly variant estimates, which still show that a long...

The financial situation in Canada is showing some concerning signs of strain: Around 24% of mortgage holders in Canada are currently struggling to meet their monthly payments, according to data from the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation. Additionally, three major Canadian banks, including BMO, TD, and CIBC, have revealed that roughly 20% of their residential mortgage borrowers are in a state of negative amortization. This means that these borrowers owe more on their mortgages than they originally borrowed, totaling nearly $130 billion in loans. This scenario is putting significant pressure on Canadian banks, and it highlights the urgency of reducing...

Former President Donald Trump is leading President Biden across key battleground states, a Reuters/Ipsos survey found. Nationally, the survey found both 2024 contenders tied with 39 percent support each in a head-to-head matchup. However, Trump holds an advantage over Biden in key battleground states, which includes Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona, Michigan, Wisconsin, Nevada, and North Carolina. Trump leads in the swing states with 41 percent to Biden’s 35 percent — a six percent advantage. That lead is well outside of the survey’s +/- 2 percent margin of error.

Leftist billionaire George Soros’ ungodly fortune is leaving a dark legacy on American culture and society. Apparently, that legacy included moonlighting as a Minister of Truth by dumping millions of dollars into fighting the leftist catch-all boogeyman of so-called “disinformation” online and across the globe. Soros poured $14,853,765 into at least 50 groups for the express purpose of railing against “disinformation” online and elsewhere between 2017-2021 alone, according to Open Society Foundations records. The Soros-funded groups found in MRC Free Speech America’s tally included radicalized organizations engineered to fight against “disinformation” disseminated by users on Big Tech platforms. One U.S.-based...

On Friday, leading 2024 presidential candidate and 45th President Donald Trump vowed to pardon or commute the sentences of pro-life advocates and all political prisoners who have been unfairly targeted by President Joe Biden’s administration on the first day of his second term.“Under [President Joe] Biden, others are being sentenced to 10, 15, and even 20 years in prison for retribution for their political beliefs, while Antifa and other groups burn-down cities like Portland, like Minneapolis. … They kill people, they loot, they plunder, and they go free,” Trump said to the 2023 Pray Vote Stand Summit.“To reverse these cruel...
