As concerns over law enforcement’s use of Flock Safety cameras intensify, there has been an increasing number of reports about police officers misusing the surveillance system for personal purposes. Officers all across the country have exploited the company's automated license plate reader cameras to track romantic partners or acquaintances in recent months. Despite claims that the cameras help police find and apprehend criminals, this new trend has raised even more complaints and criticisms about law enforcement agencies using the cameras with little to no oversight. CBS News reported that Habersham County, Georgia, Sheriff’s Office Deputy Christian Brewer was fired and...

Independent journalists Nick Sortor and Karlyn Borysenko were in serious danger on Saturday night after being confronted, threatened with death, and having their vehicle attacked with vomit by Black Lives Matter rioters in a self-declared “autonomous zone” that has taken over several blocks of downtown Madison, Wisconsin. The zone, known as the “Corey Ruiz Autonomous Zone” or “CRAZ,” was formed in the days following the July 22 police shooting of Corey Ruiz, an armed serial felon who was killed while allegedly attacking an officer with a knife. Protesters have built barricades of pallets, furniture, and spike strips, blocked streets, set...

Former Republicans Majorie Taylor Greene and Tucker Carlson are apparently serious about their plans to launch a new political party — and they’ve got some help too. Greene posted a picture on Saturday of her and her new husband Brian Glenn sitting at a wooden table headed by Carlson, who was flanked by lame duck Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) and another ex-fan of President Donald Trump: Joe Kent, the former director of the National Counterterrorism Center who quit earlier this year in protest of the Iran war. Massie and Kent’s wife are also seated at the table. Everyone appears to...

A Houston funeral home director appeared in court on Friday on multiple felony charges involving a scheme to steal more than $2.2 million from a deceased man’s estate. Unique Mica Green-Battle is accused of forging documents to claim he is the spouse and successor of the victim, Lawrence Gammon. The forged documents include a fake will, a falsified death certificate, forged probate documents, and fraudulent filings used to gain control of the estate, according to Fox 26. Police executed a search warrant of Green-Battle’s business in November 2025 after families accused the funeral home of mishandling corpses and committing fraud....

The Spanish enclave of Ceuta, located on the African coast next to Morocco, is being invaded by military-aged men who broke through border gates, fences, and the coastal barriers that mark the border. So far, several tens of thousands of Moroccans (and who knows who else?) have flooded across the border, creating panic in the city of 85,000, and the flow is not stopping. Moroccan authorities, in fact, appear to be facilitating the invasion. Not coincidentally, nearly 2,000 criminals were pardoned and released from prison, leading many to speculate that the two are connected. Spain's Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez, has...

I have noticed in recent months that a large number of "new" leftist groups all trace back to PPF which is known as both Players Philanthropy and People First. Its website implies that it can assist NGOs/non-profits in getting matching government grants where one government grant is the matching money for another government grant. Is it worth some transparency research to find out where all these leftist groups get their money, asks spintreebob

Italy’s most senior politicians have called for Spain to be kicked out of Europe’s Schengen zone, with tempers running hot as thousands of migrants reportedly forced their way into the Spanish enclave of Ceuta. Images of people entering the Spanish territory on the coast of Morocco have been amplified on social media, drawing a furious reaction from anti-migration campaigners and politicians. “The images coming from Ceuta are shocking and demonstrate, once again, that uncontrolled illegal immigration poses a real threat to the security of Europe’s borders,” Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni wrote on X. “We are prepared to take action...

In idyllic Sidney, Ohio, roughly two miles southwest of the 166-year-old fairgrounds, just past the Louis Sullivan-designed bank and ornate Court Square, lies the newest location of SEMCORP Manufacturing USA Inc., a Chinese battery component manufacturer that prefers its new hires speak Mandarin. Photos and other investigative materials reviewed by the Daily Caller News Foundation show Chinese nationals being transported between temporary housing in motels and the Sidney plant at unusual hours, resembling the “996” (9 a.m. to 9 p.m., 6 days a week) practice in China. The materials include job posts on Indeed.com listing the company’s preferred language as...

The former White House coordinator of the COVID Task Force says the contentious Senate hearing that put Dr. Anthony Fauci and his diary under scrutiny shows there is still "persistent anger" over the government's handling of the pandemic. In an interview on CBS News' "The Takeout," Dr. Deborah Birx said she thought Democratic Sen. John Fetterman, who was Pennsylvania's lieutenant governor during the pandemic, "got it the most right for all of us." He wondered, she said, "Did I get the balance right between saving lives and preserving people's livelihoods?" "That is a very deep question, and I think what...

The White House on Tuesday released a sweeping summary of findings from the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, arguing that a laboratory-related incident remains the most likely origin of COVID-19 and accusing senior public health officials of shaping the public narrative around the virus’s emergence. The release also renewed criticism of former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Dr. Anthony Fauci, EcoHealth Alliance, the National Institutes of Health, the World Health Organization and several federal and state agencies. It claimed key officials obstructed congressional investigations, mishandled oversight of high-risk research and failed to provide transparent guidance...

Chalk another one up for the Master of Disguise. If you missed it, James O'Keefe caught Director of Business Operations for the U.S. Navy Brandon Newsom saying he would "undo" what the Trump admin has done after Trump leaves office. Here's the full video from last week, if you want to watch it. 👇 O’KEEFE UNDERCOVER: Senior Pentagon Director Caught On Hidden Camera: Spills On A “Gay” Date With O’Keefe That He WILL "Undo Whatever's Been Done [at the Pentagon]" After Trump Leaves Office To Reverse His Agenda…“I've seen some things.

Health officials located the diaries of Dr. Anthony Fauci across nearly a dozen different servers, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said on July 27. “It took us about eight months to dig these out of 11 separate servers, where they had been sequestered and secreted,” Kennedy said during an appearance on Fox News. After obtaining the private entries of Fauci, who was the head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) from 1984 to 2022, officials with the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) handed over the documents to...

President Donald Trump’s most ardent supporters are outraged after Dr. Anthony Fauci invoked the Fifth Amendment before a Senate hearing on Wednesday. Fauci declined to answer questions from senators in a GOP-led committee hearing about his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. Fauci first led the pandemic response during Trump’s administration and later under former President Joe Biden. He has been the target of MAGA’s ire for months, with Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) leading the charge against him. Paul was prepared to grill Fauci over his response to the COVID-19 pandemic, including asking questions about the origin of the virus and...

VIDEOThe mysterious CIA Project MKUltra may have been involved in trying to create brainwashed assassins for the US Government who may in turn have been involved in a series of high profile assassinations between 1963 and 1980. That's the conspiracy theory. However, many people don't realise that MKUltra's origins were at Dachau Concentration Camp and SS interrogation experiments using hypnosis and psychedelic drugs, and that many of the Nazi doctors were later recruited by the CIA and worked on MKUltra.

This is what democracy (socialism) looks like! Social justice warriors have established their autonomous zone on Madison’s Willy Street, 10 blocks from the State Capitol. Barricaded with commandeered trash bins, pestilential mattresses, wood pallets, and iron pipes. All to “honor” a career criminal named Corey Ruiz who stabbed police attempting to take him off the neighborhood’s troubled streets before police responded with gunfire, killing the 38-year-old man then and there. Elect Francesca Hong (D, Open Communist) as governor, Wisconsin, and expect more of it because this is the bleeding heart of her legislative district. Seasoned and hardened revolutionaries from the...

The Trump administration on Monday asked the Supreme Court to allow it to fully implement an executive order signed by President Donald Trump that seeks to impose additional restrictions on mail-in voting. U.S. Solicitor General D. John Sauer called an order by a federal judge in Massachusetts that paused portions of the order in 23 states and the District of Columbia “extraordinary,” and he argued that it “flouts settled” doctrines governing when courts can weigh in on a dispute. Sauer also asked the court to issue an immediate administrative stay – an order that temporarily puts the lower court’s order...

Dr. Anthony Fauci enjoyed a “relaxed” dinner at home with CNN star Jake Tapper and his wife, one week after suggesting Americans “sacrifice” getting together with family and friends at Thanksgiving, according to newly released 2020 diary entries. Fauci’s diary notes were published on Saturday by Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY). The man who spearheaded the U.S. Government’s response to COVID-19 wrote about having multiple dinners with Tapper in 2020, alongside notes on the rising death toll. He wrote about one of those shared suppers on October 23, 2020. Fauci Diaries Reveal He Enjoyed ‘Relaxed’ Dinner at Home With Jake Tapper,...

Toronto police are investigating after two locations of Jewish-owned Kiva’s bagel bar were targeted in separate incidents Sunday morning, including one where a window was struck by gunfire. In multiple posts to social media, police say officers were first called to the Yonge Street and St. Clair Avenue West area at around 8 a.m. after reports that a window at a Jewish-owned bakery had been struck by gunfire. Investigators located evidence of a firearm discharge at the scene. However, no injuries were reported. Roughly 20 minutes later, officers responded to another location of the “same Jewish owned bakery chain” near...

Andy Burnham has finally addressed the migrant crisis for the first time since taking office last week, pledging to continue to work on closing taxpayer-funded hotels housing asylum seekers. It comes as almost 1,000 migrants (881) made the journey by small boat in the last week, with one mega dinghy carrying 165 migrants on one vessel as the largest arrival from a single boat on record. Asked whether Mr Burnham would like to see the hotels closed, the Prime Minister’s official spokesman replied: “The work on that continues.” He added there “is no change in that work that’s being carried...

The latest revelations from Sen. Rand Paul’s investigation into the origin of Covid expose what may be one of the most consequential scientific deceptions in history. The 1,123 pages of private Slack messages exchanged among the authors of the highly influential “Proximal Origin” paper reveal that the scientists who publicly declared that a laboratory origin of Covid was not plausible privately held a very different view. They repeatedly acknowledged that a laboratory origin remained possible, discussed flaws in their own arguments, and struggled to defend the natural origin theory. In the first batch of Slack messages between the authors, which...
