On Wednesday’s “CNN News Central,” Denver Mayor Mike Johnston stated that his sanctuary city “is now ground zero for America’s migrant crisis.” And that one thing they need the federal government to do is distribute migrants to different cities around the U.S. Johnston said, “I think that Denver is now ground zero for America’s migrant crisis. We are, at this moment now, the single largest recipient city of any city in America per capita. We actually have more than two times as many migrants as the next city behind us based on our population. We’ve received more than a hundred...

Former FBI agent Peter Strzok said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Deadline” that he believed supporters of former President Donald Trump were “engaging in threats of violence,” while supporters of President Joe Biden were not prone to violence. Strzok said, “My biggest concern is that we have the presumptive Republican nominee for president who has and continues to engage in calls for violence from his supporters. Look, there’s an interesting data point here. Just shortly after the Michigan Supreme Court indicated they weren’t going to take this up, Donald Trump took to Truth Social and lauded their decision, talked about how they...

There’s a big statement on the COVID vaccine coming out of Florida, and it could be the final nail in Pfizer’s coffin. As negative news piles up around the controversial vaccine, it looks like the American public is waking up from their media-induced haze and is now rejecting the vaccine and its four zillion boosters with a vengeance. The mainstream media labels this as “vaccine and pandemic fatigue,” but it’s probably more about people getting spooked. With all these reports of sudden deaths among healthy, likely vaccinated people worldwide, who can blame them? Not surprisingly, the number of Americans lining...

A storm of criticism and justification has erupted over the Japanese government's decision to sell Patriot surface-to-air guided missiles made in Japan to the US. Widely seen as an effort to restock an American arsenal depleted by shipments to Ukraine, it has raised doubts over the Biden administration's proclaimed commitment to the security of Japan and the Asia-Pacific. It is also part of a policy aimed at building up Japan's defense industry by turning the once-pacifist country into an exporter of weapons. Under revised guidelines for the overseas transfer of military equipment approved by Japan's National Security Council on December...

Since liberals are OK with the police killing Ashli Babbitt, that same standard should be held for all rioters.

For those celebrating Christmas, you may be increasingly concerned about your carbon footprint when it comes to traditional decoration. Let’s get down to the truth. It’s the annual dilemma... Do you buy an artificial tree that you may or may not reuse or do you get a real one that will for sure be thrown away eventually? Let’s start with the artificial tree. Nearly 90% of them are shipped across the world from China, according to The Nature Conservancy, a US-based environmental organisation. These trees are most likely made of polyvinyl chloride or PVC, which produces greenhouse gases when manufactured...

For the Fed to bring inflation down to 2%, it will take the destruction of a significant amount of wealth – something which an unprecedented pace of aggressive rate hikes has so far failed to do. To the Fed, losing control over price stability is unacceptable (t.me/marketfeed/417246). BlackRock revealed in their 2023 Outlook that “only a deep recession can effectively decouple the global economy from the risks of persistent inflation.” The Fed continues to believe in the Phillips Curve, which plots unemployment as inversely related to inflation.

President Trump on Wednesday afternoon responded to Special Counsel Jack Smith’s latest court filing and attempt to take away his First Amendment right. Jack Smith wants to prevent President Trump from blaming provocateurs and undercover agents for the January 6 Capitol riot. “Through public statements, filings and argument in hearings before the court, the defense has attempted to inject into this case partisan political attacks and irrelevant and prejudicial issues that have no place in a jury trial,” Jack Smith’s 20-page filing said. ...... Snip...... “Evidence about undercover actors holds no probative value here,” Smith wrote. Trump’s trial date for...

The troubled attacker who allegedly stabbed two teen tourists at Grand Central Terminal on Christmas morning was cut loose by a Bronx judge just weeks earlier — despite a string of violent busts in recent months, The Post has learned.

Less than two weeks after that Dec. 12 hearing, Hutcherson allegedly went off the rails at...

TSMC's second fab capable of processing wafers using the company's N2 process technology (2nm-class) could be ready in Kaohsiung Science Park somewhat ahead of schedule, reports China Times. However, this news should be taken with a grain of salt, as it hasn't been confirmed by TSMC. Also, the foundry has reportedly obtained all the necessary permissions to construct another fab in Kaohsiung Science Park. The report from China Times also claims that phase 1 of TSMC's N2-capable fab near Kaohsiung aims to start mass production in 2025, which is a bit earlier than expected as typically the company does not...
