"Sheena, the work you've done is extraordinary." "It's incredible." That was CNN This Morning co-anchors Poppy Harlow and Phil Mattingly, respectively, gushing on Friday over Sheena Meade, an activist who promotes "Clean Slate" laws in states across the country. The interview came the day after Democratic New York Governor Kathy Hochul signed that state's version into law, the twelfth state to do so. The law sealed the criminal records, including some serious felonies, of convicts if they don't get convicted again after a certain number of years. So employers, landlords, and others would have no way of knowing whether they...

A protester is uncuffed by Capitol police and then fist bumps another officer down a hallway away from everyone.

The Girl Scouts of the USA has announced a new direction that will see the organization push radical Marxist training programs for children. The Girl Scouts is set to offer a four-part Marxism-based “racial equity” training series to volunteers and parents. Part of the training will focus on “internalized racism” and “white supremacy culture.” The 111-year-old organization was originally created to serve America’s young women. However, the Girl Scouts now appears to have adopted far-left Critical Race Theory (CRT). CRT is the divisive Marxism-rooted ideology that has taken root in America’s schools and corporations. The four-part series is set to...

This list only includes destroyed vehicles and equipment of which photo or videographic evidence is available. Therefore, the amount of equipment destroyed is significantly higher than recorded here. Loitering munitions, drones used as unmanned bait, civilian vehicles and derelict equipment are not included in this list. All possible effort has gone into avoiding duplicate entries and discerning the status of equipment between captured or abandoned. Many of the entries listed as 'abandoned' will likely end up captured or destroyed. Similarly, some of the captured equipment might be destroyed if it can't be recovered. When a vehicle is captured and then...

Huey Lewis and the News said it best about ESG goals: “The elites want a new drug.” The World Economic Forum (WEF) is a leading pusher of the ESG drug, pushed by the elite class intending to control the world. Unfortunately, numerous American politicians and influencers have attended the Davos meetings and have openly praised the WEF and its leader Klaus Schwab. ESG refers to the environmental, social and governance information about a firm. There is growing evidence that companies that take their environmental and social responsibilities seriously perform better financially. This has naturally made investors sit up and take...

Several former officials with the U.S. Food and Drugs Administration (FDA) took high-paying jobs with pharmaceutical companies after playing key roles in pushing those Big Pharma firms’ Covid shots through the regulation process. The “revolving door” was exposed during an investigation by the renowned peer-reviewed British Medical Journal (BMJ). The discovery is reminiscent of former FDA official Curtis Wright IV. Wright played a central role in the FDA’s approval of the dangerously addictive opioid OxyContin for Purdue Pharma in 1995. Shortly after, he left the FDA for a job at Purdue and a massive salary with the company. The actions...

Starship launched the next phase of their career in 1985 with the release of “We Built This City,” the first single from their album Knee Deep in the Hoopla.The band that began as Jefferson Airplane in 1965 in San Francisco had moved through a lot of changes, evolving into Jefferson Starship in the early ‘70s after a series of lineup shuffles. They would continue to work under that banner until 1984 when founding member Paul Kantner decided to depart following the release of Nuclear Furniture album.There had been a lot of internal conflict leading up to that point, with Kantner...

A week ago, two young ostensibly religious Jews broke into the historic Protestant cemetery on Mount Zion and vandalized dozens of gravestones, including pulling down several crosses. One of the desecrated headstones included one with a bust of the second Protestant bishop in Jerusalem, the Reverent Samuel Gobat. The perpetrators carried out this shameless destruction proudly wearing kippot and tzitit (ritual fringed garment). All this was caught on a security camera, which you can see part of below.

OUR SPECIAL WASHINGTON DISPATCHES. WASHINGTON Tuesday, Nov. 17. Mr. PAUL writes under date of November 16: "The Third Cavalry division under Brig.-Gen. CUSTER -- commanding during the absence of Col. KILPATRICK at Washington on a court-martial -- moved to the Rapidan yesterday morning to feel the enemy. The Second brigade, under Col. TOWN, of the First Michigan Cavalry, approached the river near Raccoon and Morton's Fords soon after daylight, and drove the enemy from their front line of rifle-pits on the opposite bank back to their entrenchments. A brisk skirmish with artillery was kept up at intervals for several hours...

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis asked a judge on Friday to schedule the trial in the case against Donald Trump in Georgia for Aug. 5, which would temporarily sideline the former president and leading GOP presidential candidate from the campaign trail at the height of election season. Willis, who is prosecuting Trump and 18 co-defendants over allegations they illegally conspired to overturn the 2020 election in Georgia, said in a court filing that her requested trial date "balances potential delays from other pending criminal trials with the Defendants’ speedy trial rights."

Sen. Mitt Romney and Sen. Joe Manchin’s bill to stabilize the national debt, which has more than doubled in the last decade, has been gaining bipartisan support in Congress. The Fiscal Stability Act aims to strengthen and stabilize the country’s fiscal health by establishing a commission to find solutions to decrease the national debt that currently exceeds $33.6 trillion. The legislation would require Congress to take an up or down vote on the proposed solutions, adding an extra layer of accountability. “Establishing our bipartisan fiscal commission will help balance our budgets, keep government spending lean and responsible, and protect and...

arget is under fire once again - this time for selling LGBTQ+ styled Christmas decorations. And conservatives are NOT having it. One of the new items on the chain's inventory is a 2023 nutcracker decoration which features the nutcracker in a jacket with a pride flag running down the middle, a pride flag hat, and a pride flag in his hand. I say “his” hand loosely, as the statue also has pink hair, eyeshadow, and feminine eyelashes. Perhaps he's a drag queen as well. Another new item this year is a Christmas snow globe with a rainbow heart in the...

ATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — In Louisiana, where there has been a Democratic governor for eight years and Donald Trump won the past two presidential elections, runoffs on Saturday will decide whether Republicans control all five of the Deep South state's top executive branch positions. The gubernatorial election was decided in October when Jeff Landry, a Republican backed by former President Trump, won outright and avoided a runoff. Voters will cast ballots this weekend to determine the winners of a slew of other races, including three vacant, statewide offices: attorney general, secretary of state and treasurer. The election will shape...

Pray For The Peace of JerusalemActs 15The Council at Jerusalem 15 Certain people came down from Judea to Antioch and were teaching the believers: “Unless you are circumcised, according to the custom taught by Moses, you cannot be saved.” 2 This brought Paul and Barnabas into sharp dispute and debate with them. So Paul and Barnabas were appointed, along with some other believers, to go up to Jerusalem to see the apostles and elders about this question. 3 The church sent them on their way, and as they traveled through Phoenicia and Samaria, they told how the Gentiles had been...

WASHINGTON — Israel attempted to use tapes of former US president Bill Clinton’s steamy conversations with intern Monica Lewinsky to leverage the release of Jonathan Pollard, a new book on the Clinton family’s political enterprises has claimed. In the book, titled “Clinton Inc: The Audacious Rebuilding of a Political Machine,” author Daniel Halper relies on on-the-record interviews with former officials together with a close analysis of documents termed “the Monica Files” to paint a salacious – and uncomplimentary – picture of one of the most prominent political families in the United States. Halper noted that “intelligence officials in the United...

Ukrainian forces say they have secured several positions on the Russian-occupied eastern bank of the Dnipro river, and their leaders have been keen to talk up their progress. The marines have spoken of gaining a foothold on "several bridgeheads" on the left bank, as they try to push the Russians back in a bid to protect civilians on the opposite side of the river from constant Russian shelling. ... The few hundred soldiers are outnumbered and surrounded in three directions, yet have managed to dig in for the best part of a month. This isn't the thousands needed to potentially...
