A newly appointed Home Office minister sparked fury on the Tory right today after pictures were unearthed showing her taking the knee during the Black Lives Matter protests. Laura Farris, the MP for Newbury, said how it was important MPs and other public figures 'are there with the community showing their support' in the fight against racism in 2020. She attended the event in the Berkshire town in June 2020 in a mask during the Covid pandemic, less than a month after the murder of George Floyd by police in the US city of Minneapolis sparked worldwide protests. But her...

Explanation: One year ago a Space Launch System rocket left planet Earth on November 16, 2022 at 1:47am EST carrying the Orion spacecraft on the Artemis I mission, the first integrated test of NASA’s deep space exploration systems. Over an hour after liftoff from Kennedy Space Center's historic Launch Complex 39B, one of Orion's external video cameras captured this view of its new perspective from space. In the foreground are Orion's Orbital Maneuvering System engine and auxillary engines, at the bottom of the European Service Module. Beyond one of the module's 7-meter long extended solar array wings lies the spacecraft's...

A Chicago man enjoying a slice of pizza was savagely beaten and robbed by two brutes in a brazen daylight attack caught on camera Monday — a day before the House Judiciary Committee visited town to hear testimony about how “soft-on-crime” policies have turned the Windy City into an “active warzone.” The victim, an unidentified 33-year-old, was walking down a residential alleyway in Bucktown around 2:55 p.m. when two males ran up to him from behind and delivered a brutal sucker punch to his head. Collapsing face-first into a chain-link fence, the victim cried out in surprise as his assailants...

Bob Vander Plaats, an influential evangelical leader in Iowa, is widely expected to endorse Ron DeSantis in the presidential primary. But now, with Donald Trump dominating the field, he is poised to back a candidate who is running 30 points behind the frontrunner here — testing not only the clout of his own endorsement, but the willingness of evangelicals to abandon Trump. Earlier this week, CBS reported that DeSantis told fundraisers he expects Vander Plaats’ endorsement within a week of the summit, which the DeSantis campaign denied.

Ok. I hope this doesnt get pulled. I'm struggling to be civil here...again...at the insanity of this biden administration-driven solution to a very real and tragic problem/crisis all due to the unsecured southern US border. Brandon is beating his chest talking about: "Biden-⁠Harris Administration Continues Progress on Fight Against Global Illicit Drug Trafficking." No, lets not address the actual real problem thats happening at the border. That would defeat the ultimate purpose of destroying the moral institutions of the United States of America.

@JustStop_Oil ⛓️ ELLA WARD, 20, IMPRISONED FOR MARCHING 🚷 Yet another young person has been imprisoned after marching against new oil and gas licences. Ella faces a maximum sentence of a year in jail. ⚖️ Ella was arrested earlier in November and given an ankle tag, and chose to continue to march. They are likely to remain in prison until they appear in court on the 24th November, but could face a prison sentence of up to 12 months for the new crime of "interference with key national infrastructure".

Colorado District Court Judge Sarah Wallace, a left-wing jurist who contributed to an radical organization that has worked to prevent Republicans connected to January 6th from running for election, has ruled that the “insurrection clause” of the 14th Amendment does not apply to the President of the United States. Therefore former President Trump cannot be barred from appearing on the 2024 presidential ballot. Judge Wallace wrote in her ruling:To lump the Presidency in with any other civil or military office is odd indeed and very troubling to the Court because as Intervenors point out, Section Three explicitly lists all federal...

An electric vehicle manufacturer with alleged ties to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) tried to locate in Alabama before local economic development officials turned down the project over national security concerns. According to Fox News Digital, California-based firm Gotion Inc. approached the Shoals Economic Development Authority in 2022 to gauge interest in developing a factory on the site of the shuttered FreightCar America factory in Muscle Shoals. According to the outlet, unnamed local officials decided against the project after learning more about Gotion. Gotion eventually took the plan elsewhere to Michigan to develop a battery component facility and Illinois for...

During Saturday’s Ultimate Fighting Championship 295 event in New York City, former President Donald Trump — accompanied by Kid Rock, Tucker Carlson and UFC President and CEO Dana White — made an iconic entrance into Madison Square Garden.Comedian, podcaster and longtime UFC color commentator Joe Rogan described the scene as reminiscent of a superhero film.“He walks out to Kid Rock’s ‘American Badass’ with Kid Rock and Tucker Carlson, walking in like the right-wing Avengers, and the place went nuts,” Rogan said Thursday on his podcast, “The Joe Rogan Experience.”

@BenSwann_ Ernest Ramirez’s 16-year-old son died five days after receiving the Pfizer vaccine. FEMA then contacted him, offering to pay for his son’s burial if he claimed COVID killed his son. Thank you, @RepThomasMassie, @mtgreenee, and @RWMaloneMD for bringing to light stories like this.

A former Fox News producer is suing the network, saying it fired him due to his “refusal to report false information,” such as concerns about harmful effects of COVID vaccines. But Fox News says Jason Donner was fired for infractions including not showing up for work — which Donner blames, ironically, on the fact that the COVID vaccine made him sick for more than a week. Donner, who was a Capitol Hill producer, filed a lawsuit in D.C. court in September saying Fox discriminated against him “as a result of Mr. Donner speaking out against the false news stories being...

Republicans who once believed Donald Trump was unelectable or actively opposed his candidacy for 2024 are now conceding he is capable of dethroning Joe Biden, and that rivals such as Ron DeSantis are incredibly unlikely to oust him.“Looks like I was wrong,” said Senator John Cornyn (R-Texas), after polling for The New York Times showed Trump is leading Biden by 11 points in Nevada, six in Georgia, five in Arizona, five in Michigan, and four in Pennsylvania, while the 80-year-old Democrat is ahead by just two points in Wisconsin.Senator Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) also says “it looks like Trump’s going to...

For the first time in my life, I'm terrified of my generation. For 22 years after nearly 3,000 Americans were murdered on 9/11, all it took was a social media fad to convince these Gen Z lemmings that the terrorist slaughter was justified. What else could they be persuaded to believe?

This week’s “No Shit Analysis” award goes to Eugene B. Rumer for his Wall Street Journal op-ed, It’s Time to End Magical Thinking About Russia’s Defeat. Only took him 22 months to figure this out. He may be a slow learner but give him some credit, he finally awakened from his dream world and is beginning to grasp that the Ukraine project is swirling down the toilet.Eugene B. Rumer is a Senior Fellow at the Institute for National Strategic Studies, National Defense University, Washington DC. Previously, he served at the State Department, on the staff of the National Security Council...

VIDEOAnd now we know WHY the Democrats were so vociferous in their demand that the J6 videos NOT be released. Because so far they are showing that the real MAGA patriots were entirely peaceful that day. Notice how none of the "protestors" (feds) who were acting violent and breaking windows were charged. But if you peacefully entered the Capitol after being invited in by the Capitol police for a quick quiet stroll through the building, it would ultimately mean months and years in the DC jail thanks to a politically weaponized DOJ. If there is one thing that shouts out...

Huge numbers of young Ukrainian men fled the country to avoid being drafted in the army to fight Russia, a report states, with many swimming border rivers or walking cross-country to avoid detection.Under Ukraine’s martial law, for the vast majority of Ukrainian males, it has been illegal to leave the country since the Russian invasion, a step taken by Kyiv to maintain its access to conscripts for the fight against Moscow’s occupation. Yet figures reveal tens of thousands have attempted to flee and avoid fighting.Data from the border services of Hungary, Moldova, Poland, Romania, and Slovakia acquired for an investigation...

An MTA supervisor allegedly accosted a Jewish woman on the streets of Manhattan for waving an Israeli flag, saying “f–k Israel” and flipping her the bird. In a video shared on social media, Kenneth Foster, 57, can be heard telling the unidentified woman, “I got the right to say what the f–k I want, I’m American.” Foster was walking down Columbus Avenue on the Upper West Side last Saturday with his mother when the woman’s flag “almost hit” him, he told The Post. The video, which was posted by the Instagram pages Jew Hate Database and Jewish Lives Matter, claimed...
