As a Harvard mathematics graduate and financial executive and investor, Eric Weinstein clearly isn’t a man who would allow his mind to dull. He’s worked as an economist, lectured on the nature of the universe and generally developed into a walking, talking renaissance man. So Democrats should beware, as his opinion on the party has in recent months, dramatically soured. Joining Uncensored, he discusses with Piers Morgan what some consider the murky and deceitful practices of elite Democrats. Weinstein reviews his prediction of ‘the switch’ from Biden to Harris, the shocking lack of leadership in the current administration, and the...

Tonight, the presidential candidates will have their first debate. But there is one critical election issue the American people are not debating at all. They agree that non-U.S. citizens should not vote in U.S. elections. This is a convenient opinion for Americans to hold as it is also the law.The National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (NVRA) and other federal codes and state constitutions require that only citizens vote in our elections. This is unequivocal. It is in writing. It is common sense.The problem with laws is that people break them — including noncitizens who commit one federal crime by...

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the Russian military has developed a plan to expel Ukrainian troops from the Kursk Region. "Naturally, the military has all necessary plans but I don’t think that these plans can be discussed publicly," he said when asked when Ukrainian troops will be driven out of Russia’s territory, News.Az reports citing TASS. Russia’s borderline Kursk Region came under a massive attack from Ukraine on August 6. A federal state of emergency is in effect in the region.

She has been shrewd to avoid stating much beyond traditional Democratic talking pointsAfter weeks of studious silence, Vice President Kamala Harris has been issuing a flurry of policy proposals that she’s touting as “A New Way Forward.” But is it really new? Or is it the old way forward? In the early hours of Monday morning, she unveiled a series of proposals for the first time on her website about the economy, immigration and foreign affairs. Harris is careful to contrast her proposals, again and again, with what she terms “Trump’s Project 2025 Agenda.” Poor Trump. He has repeatedly...

Oil prices tumbled over 4% today, reaching a 3-year low as trader sentiment continued to sour ahead of tonight's highly anticipated U.S. Presidential debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, with bearish sentiment sinking to multi-year lows as traders continue overreacting to any negative development and ignoring relatively healthy fundamentals.

Explanation: The dark Horsehead Nebula and the glowing Orion Nebula are contrasting cosmic vistas. Adrift 1,500 light-years away in one of the night sky's most recognizable constellations, they appear in opposite corners of the above stunning mosaic. The familiar Horsehead nebula appears as a dark cloud, a small silhouette notched against the long glow of hydrogen -- here shown in gold -- at the lower left. Alnitak is the easternmost star in Orion's belt and is seen as the bright star to the left of the Horsehead. Just below Alnitak is the Flame Nebula, with clouds of bright emission and...

Most Americans can vaguely remember the post apocalyptic 1985 Mad Max movie “Beyond Thunderdome,” where disputes were settled savagely with fights to the death before an audience of screaming illiterates in the Wasteland. And as the presidential debate on Tuesday approaches between Democrat Vice President Kamala Harris and former Republican President Donald Trump, most pundits agree that this could very well be a make-or-break event. If one candidate falters and bites the dust, there won’t be time enough for their brain trusts and spinners to resurrect their candidacies. As the toothless denizens of Bartertown might say in their Australian accents,...

In response to criticism that Vice-President Kamala Harris was "installed rather than elected as the Democratic Party's presidential nominee," former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif) insisted that "it was an open process. After President Biden voluntarily stepped down the Democratic National Committee carefully weighed what to do. During this process any Democrat could've submitted his or her name for us to consider. No one did. The DNC can't be blamed for not selecting from a list with zero names on it." "Since President Biden has made clear for a long time, he and Kamala were a team," Pelosi pointed out....

As we enter the debate season, American voters will have quite a few opportunities for things to come to light that we need to know in order to make informed decisions at the polls. But in this season of exposure and decision-making, there are those who want to deceive the American public. Let’s pray as follows: Prayer 1: Pray that the hidden things would be revealed. Luke 8:17 tells us that God will reveal absolutely everything eventually. Let’s pray for all needed information to be revealed NOW! “For nothing is secret that will not be revealed, nor anything hidden that...

It is both apt and ironic that the anniversary of 9/11, which paved the way for the government to overthrow the Constitution, occurs the week before the anniversary of the day the U.S. Constitution was adopted on September 17, 1787. All sides are still waging war on our constitutional freedoms, and “we the people” remain the biggest losers. This year’s presidential election is no exception. […] No matter who wins, the bureaucratic minions of the Security/Military Industrial Complex and its Police State/Deep State partners will retain their stranglehold on power. Neither Donald Trump nor Kamala Harris have the greatest of...

In this video we read from "Life Among the Piutes: Their Wrongs and Their Claims," by Sarah Winnemucca Hopkins, published all the way back in 1883. This tells of the Pyramid Lake War that broke out in 1860 between the Piutes and the white settlers near Genoa, Nevada. It also tells the Piute legend of the red-haired cannibalistic people whom the Piutes exterminated several hundred years before this book was written. Transcript linked below video.

A city commission meeting at Springfield, Ohio went viral after video of residents complaining about the 20,000 Haitians who had invaded the city and trashed it became a major political talking point. At the meeting, Anthony Harris, a local resident alleged that Haitians were, among other things, coming into parks and grabbing ducks by the neck, and then taking them off to eat them. Memes quickly followed of Trump protecting ducks and cats from Haitian migrants. And what was a serious issue became a joke.The media quickly went into defense mode and began denying that there were any “verified” reports...

There are just some things in life that Hillary Clinton will not help you navigate. If you’re looking for investment tips in futures markets or optimal data-storage solutions, Clinton is not your best bet. You wouldn’t go to Clinton for advice on how to win over converts to your health-care-reform plan or to identify real-estate-development corporations with great potential for returns on investment. And you don’t go asking Clinton for thoughts on how to beat Donald Trump in a presidential race. That counsel is lost on the New York Times, which recently sat down with Clinton to press her for...

What's happened to Willie Geist? He used to be a relatively sane balance to the rabid liberal partisanship of Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski. But in recent times, he has been going increasingly hard left. On today's Morning Joe, Willie called Kari Lake the "residue" of Trump, and called NC GOP guv candidate Mark Robinson "crazy."The "residue?" That's tantamount to calling Kari Lake a lingering stain. Serious question: Could Joe and Mika be getting ready to hang up the spurs, and does Willie want to establish his liberal street cred to take over the show?

The Justice Department announced today that it has published a new guidance addressing limits on when and how jurisdictions may remove voters from their voter lists. The guidance document reflects the department’s commitment to ensuring that every eligible voter can exercise their right to vote free of discrimination or voter intimidation. “Ensuring that every eligible voter is able to vote and have that vote counted is a critical aspect of sustaining a robust democracy, and it is a top priority for the Justice Department,” said Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division. “As we approach...

Day #17 of the Top 50 songs on my iTunes playlist -- ranked in reverse order by play frequency from #50 to #1 and presented here on a series of FR threads. I'm posting them here on a new thread that compiles the growing list one day at a time over the next couple of months. I only post them on weekdays and may miss a day or two here and there, so it will take at least ten weeks to do this. And to show my gratitude to the FR management for giving us all a forum to post...

Representative Adam Schiff (D-CA) said Monday on MSNBC’s “Inside” that Vice President Kamala Harris’ knowledge of the facts could be a problem during her debate with former President Donald Trump. Host Jen Psaki said, “I don’t know if you heard there’s a debate tomorrow. You and the vice president were prosecutors around the same time in California. What do you think that background means for how she will approach a debate with Donald Trump tomorrow night?” Schiff said, “I think she will be quick on her feet. She will know the facts and be able to marshal the facts in...

An ABC news profile on the then San Francisco mayor Willie Brown has re-emerged showing the moment a young Kamala Harris is questioned by reporters while on a night out with her lover who is 31 years older than her. The special report on Brown by Dianne Sawyer from 1995 portrays the Democrat as a 'rogue' politician 'notorious for his flamboyant lifestyle, flashy clothes, fancy parties,' and 'fine women' - with Harris featured in the footage. 'Are you his daughter?' a reporter asks in the clip that is circulating just hours before first debate against Donald Trump, which is also...

Sept. 10 (UPI) -- The ex-partner accused of killing Olympic runner and Uganda-born athlete Rebecca Cheptegei by setting her on fire also has died after injuries sustained in the same incident, according to reports. Dickson Ndiema Marangach, 32, died Monday evening from burns sustained on 40% of his body in the same horrific attack he instigated and was pronounced dead at Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital in Eldoret, Kenya. It was the same medical facility where Cheptegei died last week. Marangach had developed a respiratory failure stemming from severe airway burns, according to a hospital statement to The New York...
