He’s a 12-year-old child,” Cohen said, and added that “every time one of the children there cried, they threatened them with rifles to shut them up.” “I...

FNC's Laura Ingraham asked Gov. Ron DeSantis on Monday night what he would do as the nominee about the "disturbing" Republican National Committee fundraising numbers.

We did that in Florida," DeSantis said. but here's the thing as the nominee. I will be responsible for doing it and I will get the job done, regardless of who the chairman of it is. I led the drive...

Billions in corporate welfare turns to dust.President Joe Biden will be in Colorado today, November 28, to champion green energy policies inside his Inflation Reduction Act and the CHIPS and Science Act. He will spend time in Denver and Pueblo to tout a couple of wind-related factories that are set to take advantage of the administration’s corporate welfare scheme. The president, facing abysmal polling data one year away from the election, will target Republicans and point out how they voted against his investments and job creation efforts. Clean energy, like wind, has been the focal point of Bidenomics. But have...

The report cited BBC’s unnamed sources that claimed that the perpetrator was an Irish citizen who lived in the country for 20 years. As per the BBC’s report, the claims of him being a foreign national were “false” as the man lived in Ireland for 20 years and had Irish citizenship. However, the Washington Post published only the half-truth. In reality, the man was originally...

The rise and fall of Orick's 9-ton redwood peanut By Ashley Harrell Updated Nov 21, 2023 11:28 a.m. On a brisk November evening, on a drive through the tiny town of Orick some 300 miles north of San Francisco, I scanned the roadside in search of a giant, famous peanut. The 6-foot-tall, 9-foot-wide, 9-ton peanut was carved from a redwood trunk by chainsaw back in 1977. Loggers then transported it to Washington D.C. as part of a protest against the expansion of Redwood National Park, which threatened their livelihoods. They hoped to present it to President Jimmy Carter, a former...

The city and county of Santa Cruz have faced a string of 11 burglaries at cannabis facilities this year. The author — a licensed cannabis business owner — thinks the police and sheriff’s office need to work harder to make arrests. “We aren’t looking for special treatment. Legal cannabis is a relatively new industry and it is appropriate to have a certain level of oversight and regulation,” he writes. “But we do want the community and law enforcement to take us seriously when our businesses are being targeted by groups of armed and dangerous criminals who appear to be acting...

[Catholic Caucus] EXCLUSIVE: Strickland sacking signals ‘internal persecution of faithful Catholics’An “internal persecution” of faithful Catholics is under way in the Church, a bishop has said.Bishop Athanasius Schneider said the sacking of the Rt Rev. Joseph Strickland as Bishop of Tyler, Texas, represented a particularly unjust exercise of authority against a faithful and conscientious Church leader.“This will go down in history as a great injustice against a bishop who did only his task in a time of confusion,” said Bishop Schneider in an exclusive interview with the Catholic Herald in Cambridge.“Now it is silenced, this voice,” the bishop said. “That...

Journalist Shahzad Nasir shared important information about recent yacht purchases...

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson lashes out and blames "right wing extremists" for Chicago's problems and says right wingers won’t accept the results of the civil war

It has been nearly three years since the January 6 Capitol protest. For just as long, Americans have been force-fed a story about the fateful events of that day: even before the smoke cleared, and in many ways, it never did, the shambolic episode was labeled a deadly “insurrection.” The incoming administration was handed an invaluable support: they could now label anyone who doubted the legitimacy of their weak and doddering incumbent a suspect American, an “election denier” and a threat to “our democracy.” The narrative spread like a virus through the state-affiliated mass media, and became, arguably, the defining...
