When one talks about the Bundy Family, the first thing that springs to mind is the standoff in Nevada in 2014. However, perhaps even more important is the standoff and occupation at Oregon’s Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in 2016. Indeed, the two events are often conflated because Ammon Bundy is the son of Cliven Bundy, the man who stood up to the federal government over “grazing fees” on Bureau of Land Management land. The occupation was a highlight for both the militia and the sovereign citizen movement as well as proponents of states’ rights. The main argument from those occupying...

Sorry, folks, but the Democrats aren’t just happy with a single stolen election. They are now working to ensure that all future elections will be ripe for fraud. Fresh off the biggest illegitimate banana republic fraud in the history of Western elections, Democrats now seek to ensure that all future elections in perpetuity are defined by more fraud than ever before with the introduction of their latest bill. ... Democrats have introduced a bill, H.R.1 – For the People Act of 2021, with at least 15 constitution-busting revolutionary provisions to turn America and its entire election process into nothing more...

A surprising number of mostly blue states and cities have announced a return to indoor dining less than one week after President Biden’s inauguration. “Millions of jobs have been lost,” Biden lamented during his inaugural speech. “Hundreds of thousands of businesses closed.” Some of the hardest-hit have been restaurants and bars, with restrictions or flat-out lockdowns being imposed on those businesses since March of last year. Many have been put out of business, never to return. ... Many businesses were the victims of draconian measures put in place by Democrat politicians. But now, those same politicians are suddenly experiencing a...

Dad Doug thumbs up grotesque baby art, cannibalism videoStaff ReportThe darling of the presidential inauguration this month was Ella Emhoff, a privileged rich kid from Los Angeles who wore a stunning outfit and made cute funny faces while her "Momala" Kamala Harris assumed the role as vice-regent of the United States. The willowy young twentysomething, in purple Batsheva brand dress, paired with an embellished Miu Miu tweed coat, amazed the glitterati. The Times of London anointed her a fashion icon and compared her to royalty. Pop Sugar deemed her "deeply, deeply cool." The New York Post crowned her the style...

As anti-tank weapons go, one, in particular, didn’t have an extraordinary range, it had limited stopping power, aiming was rather crude and it was one shot only – yet the German-designed Panzerfaust (“armor fist”) has become somewhat legendary. The History Only introduced in 1943, the Panzerfaust was very much a sign of the state of the war effort, which had turned against Nazi Germany and its once seemingly unstoppable military faced assaults on all fronts. Inexpensive to produce and simple to operate, the Panzerfaust gave a single infantryman a weapon that could take out enemy armor.

Big Tech has been working hard to manicure the public perception of Joe Biden, and one such strategy seems to be inflating followers on social media, a new analysis has suggested. Twitter now appears to be creating fake accounts for Biden to give him better optics in terms of popularity. Twitter user Bre Wylde wrote:

Former presidential candidate and Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard slammed a ‘domestic terror’ bill proposed by Adam Schiff, saying it would target “half of the country,” and called on President Biden to denounce such efforts. The Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act of 2021 was introduced in the House last week following mostly peaceful protests in the U.S. Capitol that got out of control. Democrats, in response to the rioting that took place, are seeking to expand the definition of domestic terrorism, according to Real Clear Politics. Gabbard (HI), in an interview with Fox News Primetime with host Brian Kilmeade, called the bill...

Tony Blinken, the Biden administration’s nominee for Secretary of State, managed a Joe Biden project that received millions of anonymous Chinese donor dollars. Blinken appeared a handful of times in emails found on Hunter Biden’s laptop agreeing to advise Hunter Biden when Hunter worked at the scandal-plagued firm Rosemont Seneca Partners. The Obama State Department set up a meeting between Hunter and Blinken which was postponed, and the two met two months later in 2015. Hunter Biden coordinated introductions between Blinken and his associates, and Blinken was named in an email in connection to a shady prospective deal involving the...

Meet the CDX-50 Tremor – the name alone would likely give Second Amendment opponents night tremors. At just under 23 pounds, the bolt action Cadex CDX-50 Tremor is the lightest .50 BMG platform on the market today – a full 10 pounds lighter than the Barrett M107 used by the U.S. military.

And here we come to the crucial step which has never before been reported. Peter Daszak himself subcontracted a key piece of the Fauci project — the gain of function piece. He gave that to a well-known center of expertise in gain of function virus research which specialized in bat Coronaviruses. Yep, he gave it to the Wuhan Institute of Virology. The question is, did they give it to us? Let’s see what they did with the Fauci money. In the projects result page, there are 13 papers co-authored by Shi Zhengli, who is the head of the Wuhan Institute’s...

Proposed actions by President Biden to place new restriction on the energy industry could cost upwards of one million jobs in the sector. Frank Macchiarola, senior vice president of Policy, Economics and Regulatory Affairs at the American Petroleum Institute (API), said in an interview on SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Saturday with host Matt Boyle that if President Joe Biden puts a permanent ban on oil and gas development on federal waters and land, it could cost 1 million American jobs.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi will send the article of impeachment against Donald Trump to the Senate at about 7 p.m. Monday, where a “full trial” will take place. This, according to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY). ... The Hill indicates only a handful of Republicans seem likely to go along with a vote to convict Trump, short of what they would need for success. They write, “Only five or six Republican senators at the most seem likely to vote for impeachment, far fewer than the number needed.” Meanwhile, CNN is reporting that several GOP senators have expressed that Senate...

Something strange is going on in the markets and in economic policymaking circles. Despite the world having just suffered from its worst economic recession in the past ninety years, the overwhelming consensus view is that the U.S. will experience a strong economic recovery in the second half of this year and the economy will soon return back to normal. Such a strong recovery would be in marked contrast to that following the 2008-2009 Great Economic Recession, which was the slowest economic recovery on record and which was punctuated by a number of fits and starts. Those fits and starts included...

Melania Trump is no longer the First Lady yet Hollywood types can’t stop attacking her and making xenophobic remarks. Joe Biden’s calls for “unity” are falling flat among some of his Tinseltown supporters. It didn’t take long for actors Tim Matheson and Jim Carrey to put their feet in their mouths for continuing to attack former First Lady Melania Trump after she left the White House.

CNN has been called out for a false report suggesting the Trump administration left President Biden with no plan to roll out COVID vaccines and the new administration was being forced to ‘start from scratch.’ It is a fake news report so outrageous that Dr. Anthony Fauci had to make a comment effectively debunking the story. CNN White House correspondent MJ Lee reported Thursday that their ever-revered ‘anonymous sources’ had told them Biden and his advisers “are inheriting no coronavirus vaccine distribution plan to speak of from the Trump administration.” “There is nothing for us to rework. We are going...

With a stack of Executive Orders on his desk and surrounded by Kamala Harris and members of the new Administration, Sleepy Joe Biden is caught on a hot mic saying “I don’t know what I’m signing” before being order by Kamala to “sign it anyway”. This comes amid nationwide concerns over Biden’s apparent cognitive decline. Could this be evidence that Biden is simply a puppet for a Kamala Harris Presidency? [video]...

Twitter has been flooded with messages expressing deep regret from Americans who voted for Joe Biden in the 2020 election. Social media users have been sharing text message conversations that reveal many Biden voters feel betrayed. Biden's actions have left many of the former vice president's supporters now questioning their decision.

In February 2021, the Italian Navy’s aircraft carrier Cavour will begin qualification with the Lockheed Martin F-35B Lightning II, the short takeoff and vertical landing (STOVL) of the Joint Strike Fighter aircraft. The carrier recently completed its maintenance and modernization efforts required to accommodate and operate the F-35B. The carrier, the flagship of the Marina Militare (Italian Navy) will reach Naval Station Norfolk in mid-February to start the F-35B qualification, which is expected to take around six weeks. Similar in size to the conventional takeoff and landing (CTOL) F-35A variant, the F-35B sacrifices about a third of the fuel volume...

A new report from Axios indicates trust in traditional media sources has hit an all-time low with fewer than half of all Americans confident in the information they are receiving. Using information from Edelman’s annual trust barometer, the report notes that trust in traditional media has plummeted even since 2020. Axios states that just 46 percent of all Americans trust the media and, following the election, numbers dropped even further as just 18 percent of Republicans are expressing faith in purveyors of the news. “Mistrust of media is now a central part of many Americans’ personal identity — an article...

Last year’s Super Bowl, between the San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs, was shown in 4K, for Fox’s broadcast of the game. But this year’s game won’t be, according to a report Thursday. The Verge reported, based on confirmation from CBS Sports Digital, that Super Bowl LV will not be streaming in 4K or HDR. CBS told the site that it “remains committed to offering more live sports in 4K and HDR in the future.” Why not? It appears to be due to a delay in deployment of the technology, caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
