When the main casualty is the rule of law itself.On May 30th, a Manhattan jury found former President Donald Trump guilty of thirty-four jerry-rigged felony charges brought against Mr. Trump by the progressive Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. The fix was in, and the main casualty was the rule of law itself.District Attorney Bragg abused his prosecutorial powers by targeting Mr. Trump personally, as he had promised to do when he ran for office, and then coming up with concocted felony offenses to charge him with. The Trump-hating district attorney magically alchemized a statute of limitations-barred misdemeanor of falsifying business...

VIDEOWhen the highly cringeworthy Fauci Adulation song sung by an awkward youth early in the pandemic was first heard, it came off as mainly a laughable object of mockery. However, when you hear that same song now, especially when juxtapositioned with just some of what we have learned about Anthony Fauci since then, the song seems to be mostly just pathetically sad.BTW, what happened to the kid who sang that song and what does he now think about his erstwhile hero?

(1) “The SARS-like virus that caused the pandemic emerged in Wuhan, the city where the world’s foremost research lab for SARS-like viruses is located.” the Wuhan Institute of Virology had been hunting for SARS-like viruses for more than 10 years, led by Dr. Shi Zhengli ... (2) part of it comes down to a leaked 2018 grant proposal for a research project called Defuse, which aimed to create a SARS-like virus with a unique feature called a furin cleavage site that would enhance its infectiousness in humans. The SARS-CoV-2 virus has that feature, she says, and genetic data suggest it...

flew into Wilmington, Del., on Sunday night, where his 54-year-old son’s felony gun trial begins Monday, and will spend the whole day there with no official duties. Joe Biden’s looming presence in the strange small city leaves nobody in any doubt of the message he is sending to Delaware special counsel David Weiss, the prosecutors, the judge, and the jury pool being chosen Monday: You mess with my son, you mess with me. It’s all very subtle, in a flagrant way, much like Joe’s impromptu visit to Hallie Biden, the widow of Beau and former lover of Hunter, just nine...

A study published Wednesday reports that girls are experiencing their first period earlier in life, and that their menstrual cycles are becoming more and more irregular, particularly in black and brown girls, which the researchers posited may be caused by ‘racism’. “This cohort study of 71,341 US female individuals born between 1950 and 2005 found significant trends toward earlier menarche and longer time to regularity over time,” the study said in the ‘Findings’ section.The researchers said that accelerating the onset of menarche can lead to adverse health outcomes.“These findings suggest that early-life menstrual characteristics have been trending in directions that...

Stephen A. Smith admitted to what only OutKick has written for the past four months: women in the WNBA are jealous of Caitlin Clark and race is a contributing factor. "There are girls – young ladies – in the WNBA who are jealous of Caitlin Clark. She is a White girl that has come into the league," Smith said while discussing Chennedy Carter shoving Clark to the floor on Saturday. "She has bursted onto the scene. She hasn’t proven herself yet. It’s not even about them thinking they’re better than her because they probably know it at this particular juncture...

I’ve long criticized our current US justice system – on all levels – as becoming much more about political justice than blind justice. The bizarre trial and conviction of former President Donald Trump last week on 34 felonies only reinforces my concerns. The New York District Attorney, Soros-backed Alvin Bragg, has been notorious for downgrading felony charges against others to misdemeanor charges. According to a recent article in the Daily Mail, Bragg had downgraded 60 percent of felony cases to lesser charges, resulting in violent criminals being released on the streets and a crime wave across New York City. But...

A climate activist affixed an adhesive poster to a Monet painting at the Musée d’Orsay Saturday. The woman, who said she intended to raise awareness for climate change, was arrested. The stunt was carried out by a member of Riposte Alimentaire (Food Response), a group of environmental activists and defenders of sustainable food production in response to the climate crisis.

Discover the unbelievable bravery of Franz Hasel, a German soldier who risked his life to defy the Nazis during WWII. On a mild Saturday in 1939, a letter arrived at a German farmhouse that changed the family’s world. It was a summons from the draft board for the 40-year-old Franz Hasel to attend the recruitment office in Frankfurt the following Monday. Because he was a pacifist, Hasel was assigned as a private to the Pioneer Company 699, which built roads, bridges and fortifications at the front lines. But Hasel’s story is truly unbelievable. Although he wore the uniform, he disagreed...

The last Democrat who I had to make exceptions for was my dear Mom. She died a few years ago at age 90, and even though she was a life-long Democrat she disliked Biden based on his shady Senate career. So how do you deal with the Democrats in your life? Do you have Democrat friends. Do you just avoid political discussion with them altogether? One of my oldest friends (surprisingly) just flipped! He's now supporting Trump! That's unexpected happy ending. Another long-time friend I had to give the heave-ho to. "This will be my last note to you. (Explanation...
