On May 3, 2020, without warning or public comment, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio began dumping into luxury hotels near a Upper West Side residential neighborhood what would ultimately become a 730-man army of broken, derelict, homeless adult men in various stages of disintegration and crisis. On July 27, the mayor sent the most aggressive of these men—283 in total—to the Lucerne Hotel for quarter.In response to Covid-19, the mayor moved the men from downtown homeless shelters, where they had access to critical social services, to the hotels, where services are illusory. The Department of Homeless Services...

Left-wing media figures rushed to threaten violent riots on Friday evening if President Donald Trump and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) attempt to fill the Supreme Court seat vacated by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who passed away earlier in the day. Reza Aslan, who used to have a show on CNN, responded by writing: “If they even TRY to replace RBG we burn the entire f***ing thing down.”

Thursday on Fox News Channel’s “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” host Tucker Carlson warned the chaos in some corners of the country was a push toward anarchy, which could have profound impacts on the country. Carlson explained how some Democratic Party leaders, including former President Barack Obama, have a different take about that chaos, which Carlson says suits their political purposes. Transcript as follows:

Black Lives Matter marched in Seattle again on Sunday. This time the protesters cut the crap and got REALLY honest. The mob was marching and chanting, “Who do we protect? Black Felons!”

The French Revolution and the American-Catholic Today I’m 98% sure my history text book in Catholic grade school portrayed the French Revolution as a good thing. We learned the aristocrats were against “fraternity, equality and liberty” and that is apparently all we needed to know as 7th graders in a Catholic grade school in Denver.  But the reality is that the French Revolution was a mass martyrdom of Catholics. Though done in the name of dis-empowering aristocrats (only 30 of the 1400 executed in the initial “Terror” in Paris were aristocrats) this bloody revolution was nothing short of a revolt...

On Wednesday’s “Hugh Hewitt Show,” Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) stated that Washington, D.C.’s home rule should be taken away if the city can’t keep calm and peace in the streets. Host Hugh Hewitt asked, “Should home rule be taken away from D.C. and returned to federal control if they can’t provide protection on the streets of the capital, senator?” Paul responded, “Yes. D.C. is a unique thing set up by the Constitution, taken from the states. It’s not a state. It doesn’t have states’ rights. And a lot of the decisions are made by Congress. But I think really, if...

The feud between Trump and liberal cities which encourage protests which seeking to defund the police escalated sharply on Wednesday, when the President ordered the federal government to begin the process of defunding New York City, Portland, Seattle and Washington, cities where officials allowed “lawless” protests and cut police budgets amid rising violent crime. In a five-page memo sent to federal agencies on Wednesday whose subject is “Reviewing Funding to State and Local Government Recipients of Federal Funds That Are Permitting Anarchy, Violence, and Destruction in American Cities” and signed by Trump, the president orders them to report to the...

In his book, 'How Should We Then Live?', Francis Schaeffer describes the background and culture that brought about the totalitarian rule of the Caesars this way: “Before the days of Caesar, the senate could not keep order. Armed gangs terrorized the city of Rome and the normal processes of government were disrupted as rivals fought for power. Self-interest became more significant than social interest, however sophisticated the trappings. Thus, in desperation the people accepted authoritarian government.” Sound familiar? In America, we’re now seeing a near-complete breakdown of law and order that differs from past episodes in at least two ways....

In what seemed like deja-vu downtown, a window-smashing march promoted by Antifa Sacramento on Thursday night was followed at daybreak Friday by scores of city clean-up crews scrubbing graffiti off government buildings and patching up broken windows. But to the relief of city leaders and downtown businesses, the damage from Thursday’s anti-police protests in the capital city was far lighter than during similar June protests after Minneapolis police killed George Floyd.

Were Kenosha Police aiding a Civil War? A Militia member who was seen on the news, reports in this video that the police told him that the police would push the protesters back into the militia, because the militia could 'deal with them', and that the police would then Leave. Is this true? Someone needs to question that Militia member.

.Those of you who know me know that I’ve moved on from polls in early 2016 when all but two (Trafalgar and People’s Pundit Daily—now Big Data Poll) were proven wrong. Never going back. You also know that using other measures, namely the same ones that allowed me in early 2016 to predict a Trump electoral college victory of “300-320 electoral votes” (final was 306), I think President Donald Trump is headed for a decisive win. No victory can be called a “landslide” without the states of California, New York, and Illinois, which Trump won’t get. But he’ll come in...

Twice-failed presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton bragged about how the Democrats are going to try to steal the 2020 election. Clinton sat down virtually with Jennifer Palmieri and “The Circus” on Showtime and urged the Democrat party to fight like hell until Biden wins the 2020 election. ..... Snip..... Hillary Clinton and her crony Jennifer Palmieri were just projecting what the Democrat party is doing and will do onto President Trump. ....snip.... "At least we know more now about what they’re going to do,” Hillary said using Alinsky style projection. “Joe Biden should not concede under any circumstances because I think...

SEATTLE — When firefighters respond to a call, there's no telling what they'll encounter. According to Seattle firefighter and paramedic Miki Mann, this fact has led to changes in how fire crews approach their job. “There was this subset of patients that we see that we’re not getting to, but if we had the right sort of protection, both personal protection and law enforcement protection, ... we could have access to them,” Mann explained. That's what prompted Mann to design this ballistic vest and helmet. They're not only bulletproof but can also hold lifesaving medical equipment that crews can quickly...

Heeding the advice of critics, Portland police say they repeatedly tried to deescalate with protesters Friday night. It didn’t work. As many as 200 demonstrators rampaged near a police station in the Oregon city, pelting a protective line of unoccupied police vehicles with golf balls, softball-sized rocks, metal railroad spikes, paint-filled plastic eggs and balloons filled with feces. A torn-up street sign was also used to smash cars, with tires slashed and windows broken, police said...

A military veteran business owner in Northern California lit into his county's leaders at a board of supervisors meeting, warning that restrictions due to the coronavirus pandemic are threatening the lives of his family and many others. "This is a warning for what's coming; it’s not going to be peaceful for much longer," Carlos Zapata told the Shasta County board in Redding, California, on Aug. 11. At the meeting, nevertheless, Zapata directed his animus to the county board. "I'm pretty appalled at what's going on. At first we sat as concerned citizens, and we all wanted to best figure out...

Reports are emerging describing a potential near miss with an unmanned aircraft system (UAS) while the C-32A that President Trump was flying on was making its final approach into Andrews Air Force base on Sunday evening. POTUS was returning from Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster New Jersey when the reported near miss took place. AFP's Sebastian Smith reported on the incident shortly after disembarking the highly modified 757-200, stating: "@realDonaldTrump just landed at Andrews on AF1. Shortly before, while descending, we flew right over a small object, remarkably close to the president’s plane. Resembled a drone though I’m no...
