With the new “50-in-5” program, the United Nations, the Gates Foundation, and the Rockefeller Foundation are attempting to get 50 countries within 5 years to go fully digital on all information. This includes payments, tracking, tracing, recording, and monitoring of every citizen. Censorship, surveillance, and a retaliation mechanism are the three primary components the elites are implementing to trap all who seek freedom in a digital prison. Once a digital ID, CBDC, and a global data-sharing network are added to their arsenal of weapons, all resistance will be easily crushed. Now is the time to prepare and set up parallel...

Iran's official news agency Irna had earlier reported on the planned visit, saying that the two leaders would discuss "bilateral issues, including economic interactions, as well as discussions about regional and international issues, especially the situation in Gaza, [which] will be high on the agenda of the one-day trip." "I can confirm. There will be Russian-Iranian negotiations on December 7," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Tuesday when asked about media reports Raisi’s visit will come a day after...

A "very rare" ancient gold coin found recently in the mountains of central Norway could be lost cash that once belonged to an early monarch, according to Norwegian officials. The gold coin was discovered by a metal detectorist in Vestre Slidre, a rural city known for skiing, in Norway's south-central Innlandet County. Technically called "histamenon nomisma," the coin was first introduced around 960 C.E. and used as standard Byzantine currency, the Innlandet County Municipality said in a news release. That means the artifact would have traveled more than 1,600 miles from its origin site to the spot where it was...

CADDO PARISH, La. (KSLA) - Retired Louisiana Supreme Court Justice E. Joseph Bleich has made a ruling in the election lawsuit filed by Caddo Parish sheriff candidate, John Nickelson.

House Speaker Mike Johnson's admission on Tuesday that the unreleased January 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol riot video footage will have faces of those involved blurred is raising questions across social media... Johnson released an initial 90 hours of footage in November, shared by the Committee on House Administration, but two weeks later no further footage has been released... "As you know, we have to blur some of the faces of persons who participated in the events of that day because we don't want them to be retaliated against and be charged by the DOJ," Johnson said. In a statement emailed...

'What we need from you is a complete investigation as to why the FBI didn’t take this up...' ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Was Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., blocked when she attempted to subpoena Jeffrey Epstein’s flight logs, or was it all just a misunderstanding? After Blackburn failed to introduce an amendment last week that would have added an Epstein’s flight logs to the Senate Judiciary Committee’s list of forthcoming subpoenas, Blackburn accused the committee’s chair, Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., of stonewalling her. Last Thursday, Durbin’s office denied Blackburn’s accusation in response to a Headline USA media inquiry. And on Tuesday, Durbin further said...

Dear President Gay,I am writing this letter to you regretfully. Never did I think I would have to write a letter to the president of my alma mater about the impact of her actions and inactions on the health and safety of its student body in order to help catalyze necessary change. For the past four weeks since the horrors of October 7th, I have been in dialogue with members of the corporation board, other alumni, as well as students and faculty sharing and comparing our concerns about the growing number of antisemitic incidents on campus, as we wait for...

The new Mercedes-AMG GT 55 Coupe may not be the hottest version of the AMG coupe that rivals the Porsche 911 (that honor goes to the GT 63), but it's still a potent and gorgeously styled sports coupe. The 4.0-liter turbocharged V8 doles out 469 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque in this application, enough for a 3.8-second 0-60 sprint. The character of the V8 should once again separate the GT from its competitors. Other changes for this generation of the GT 55 include a more practical 2+2 seating layout and the latest MBUX infotainment system. The lavish interior mirrors...

The House will vote the week of December 10 on formalizing the impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden to strengthen subpoena power over the stonewalling Biden administration, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) stated during a Tuesday press conference. The vote will be a test for House Republicans, who hold a slight majority over House Democrats. The measure will need nearly all Republican support. Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) opened an “impeachment inquiry” on September 12, but lawmakers did not vote to approve the measure. If the impeachment inquiry receives majority support on the House floor, the inquiry will be formally adopted,...

President Joe Biden is turning to Hollywood stars, rockers, producers and hitmakers to haul in campaign cash for a 2024 election, where he finds himself battling Donald Trump and voters are registering disgruntlement with their choices. Biden began a stretch of nine big dollar fundraisers on Tuesday as he left the White House for Boston, where singer-songwriter James Taylor will be on the bill for an evening concert. The 'You've Got a Friend' singer has performed for Biden and failed 2016 nominee Hillary Clinton in the past. Now, he and other bold faced names are lending their time and star...

Dogs are known for their exceptional hearing and ability to understand certain words and phrases. They are always listening, even if we don't realize it. As dog owners, we often try to avoid saying certain words in front of our furry friends to prevent them from becoming overly excited. However, one dog mom decided to put her dog's attention to the test by having a fake phone conversation near him. The adorable reactions and engagement from her dog were captured and shared on social media.

A New York City comptroller has revoked Mayor Eric Adams’ emergency right to make deals with contractors for migrant services without prior approval. Comptroller Brad Lander’s office made the revocation known in a letter dated this past Thursday, three months after he retroactively rejected a $432million, no-bid contract with a for-profit medical services firm accused of mistreating migrants. The mayor's office has previously said the loss of such a power would slow down its response to the ongoing migrant crisis, which has seen more than 140,000 asylum seekers arrive in The Big Apple since spring 2022.

A US State Department official has suggested that the reason the truce between Israel and Hamas fell apart was that the terrorists did not want released female prisoners revealing the sexual abuse they have faced in captivity. Under the terms of the truce, which collapsed last Friday, Hamas was to prioritise the release of children and non-IDF females. Israel says 15 women still held by Hamas meet that description, as well as two children — Ariel Bibas, 4, and Kfir Bibas, 10 months, both of whom may now have perished. “The fact that they continue to hold women hostages, the...
