A new poll revealed that around one-third of American voters said they believe President Joe Biden was not legitimately elected president in 2020. The Washington Post/University of Maryland (Post-UMD) poll surveyed views surrounding the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol. Sixty-two percent of U.S. adults say they believe Biden was legitimately elected, down from 69 percent overall in the 2021 poll. However, the most significant drop was from those who said the 2020 election results were legitimate came from Republicans, 31 percent in 2023. The number is down from 39 percent two years earlier.

How do you spell contraction? M-O-N-E-Y! Take a look at this chart of real GDP YoY / Bank Credit YoY on the left axis and M2 Money growth on the right axis. I call this the velocity of bank credit. And it is sucking wind! Crashing to -13 in Q3. Then we have US manufacturing PMI saw only two months in 2023 that were not in contraction and ended on a decidedly poor note with the final December print dropping to 47.9 (from 48.2 flash and 49.4 prior).

While speaking to New York ABC affiliate WABC on Monday, Edison, New Jersey Mayor Sam Joshi (D) stated that he turned a bus full of migrants sent to the city back because local police “did not know if any of those 40 individuals were carrying weapons, they couldn’t be identified.” And this is “a major security risk. It’s a health risk. And we’re just not going to tolerate that.” Joshi, who plans to send migrants back to the border, also stated that he doesn’t want to pawn problems off on other mayors. WABC New Jersey Reporter Toni Yates stated, “The...

A London-based ‘sperm donor‘ who has fathered at least 180 children through both “artificial insemination” and “natural insemination” is complaining that his serial sperm ‘donations’ have made it difficult to have a relationship. The man, who calls himself “Joe Donor,” says he is the “angel of the north” because he’s fathered nearly 200 children with women who don’t know his real name or identity. He ‘donates’ to the women in multiple ways; in addition to mailing sperm to women for artificial insemination, he also engages in “natural intercourse,” meaning he has sex with the women, and “partial intercourse,” meaning sex...

As an Israeli American living outside Jerusalem; as someone who served for 20 years in the Israel Defense Forces, including five years in the Gaza Strip; and as a father whose son is presently serving, I have “skin” in the game of the latest Israel-Hamas war. And I believe that Israel’s campaign in Gaza must be ended now. The reason this war began is clear. Hamas is responsible for committing Holocaust-like crimes on Oct. 7. However, the unimaginable horrors for which Hamas must be held responsible do not minimize the culpability of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his government for...

Steve Bannon, ex-aide to former President Trump, said Monday that he anticipates a big fight over whether GOP presidential hopeful Nikki Haley should be the former president’s pick for vice president in the general election. Bannon advised strongly against Trump, who remains the GOP front-runner in the race, choosing the former South Carolina governor to be his running mate. “One of the fights we’re going to have, a big fight, it will take place in the spring, will be — they’re going to try to force Nikki on the ticket,” Bannon said on an episode of the “Human Events Daily...

NATIONAL CREAM PUFF DAY | January 2 National Cream Puff Day on January 2 is for dessert and pastry lovers alike to celebrate this delicious French creation all day long. #NationalCreamPuffDay Originating in France, cream puffs are also known as profiterole and choux a la creme.

The “cream puff” has been...

It was a year of reckoning, a year in which humanity finally began to understand that it faces an existential threat, a threat unlike any we have ever faced before, a threat that will wreak havoc on our fragile planet if we fail to stop it—and it may already be too late. We are referring, of course, to pickleball. Nobody knows where it started. Some scientists believe it escaped from a laboratory in China. But whatever its origin, it has been spreading like rancid mayonnaise ever since, to the point where pickleball courts now cover 43 percent of the continental...

Busloads of asylum seekers headed for the Big Apple are thwarting Mayor Eric Adams’ crackdown on arrivals by being dropped off in New Jersey and jumping on a train to reach their “final destination” — turning a family-friendly Garden State suburb into a migrant hub. The Secaucus Police Department and town officials were informed Saturday by the Hudson County Executives’ Office that four buses transporting migrants bound for New York had arrived at the Secaucus Junction train station, according to officials. “From what we understand, after being dropped at the train station the migrants then took trains to New York...

The Biden administration drastically simplified the vetting process for Chinese illegal immigrants in April 2023, according to an internal U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) email obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation. The April 2023 email, which was sent by a CBP supervisor to a “master list” of about 500 Border Patrol agents, instructs CBP officials to radically reduce the number of interview questions for Chinese migrants apprehended after illegally crossing into the country from roughly 40 to just five. The “headquarters guidance” came as border agents were overwhelmed with near-record numbers of illegal crossings. This scaling back of...

A report by the OECD indicates Ireland had no excess deaths during the pandemic years 2020 to 2022, suggesting many of the thousands who died “with COVID” would have died anyway. The Irish government, notorious for its panicked approach to the coronavirus, targeted its religious citizens for some of its harshest antivirus measures, outlawing going to church for more than a third of the year 2021. Ireland’s ban on in-person religious worship went into effect in late 2020 and endured until May of 2021, despite widespread criticism.
