SARATOGA NY (WRGB) - A local teenager is spreading joy through his community by encouraging others to write letters to people during the coronavirus epidemic; specifically those in nursing and assisted living homes. Sahil Swali, a junior at Shenendahowa High School, pitched his message to the Facebook community last week in a short video shared hundreds of times. “I’m just asking everyone to write one letter, just one, to a nursing home or a doctor or a nurse just to let them know that we care.” He pleads.

Former Deputy National Security Adviser K.T. McFarland said FBI agents working with Robert Mueller's special counsel probe tried to set up her up in a "perjury trap." "The FBI showed up at my house unannounced. I was all by myself. They come in and I said, 'Do I need a lawyer for anything? I have never met with any Russians. I have never dealt with any Russians,'" she told Fox News' Brian Kilmeade. McFarland said the agents who questioned her insisted they just needed a "little bit of information" to help them with the investigation. "So, I naively went along...

The government ID process entails investigation and verification of relevant information and, then, issuance of an ID. It is not, and never has been, a process to provide false, confusing, unverifiable, or deceptive information requested by the applicant to use for whatever purpose the applicant desires, nor for deception of others as to facts which, in an orderly society, need to conform to reality. Inability to rely on the accuracy of the ID information will be of serious, if not critical, concern to most of the population. Examples of those adversely affected by government identification of males as females (and...

After host Ricky Gervais admonished the Golden Globes winners Sunday night not to bring up politics in their acceptance speeches because they "know nothing about the real world," actress Michelle Williams did just that with a two minute long screed supporting abortion while accepting the award for Best Actress in a Limited Series or Motion Picture Made for TV. Williams, who, ironically, is pregnant, started out talking about choices in acting before transitioning to bodily choice, then seemingly admitted to her own abortion when she said she "wouldn't have been able to do this without employing a woman's right to...

When President Trump called out Fox News weekend hosts Arthel Neville and Leland Vittert in March, I was blissfully ignorant of this malignant duo. Trump asked whether they had been trained at CNN. Probably not! Probably just about any journalism school in America could produce similarly left-wing biased reporters. Were @FoxNews weekend anchors, @ArthelNeville and @LelandVittert, trained by CNN prior to their ratings collapse? In any event, that’s where they should be working, along with their lowest rated anchor, Shepard Smith! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 17, 2019 Now that I have watched them, I have to say the...

On Thursday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “The Rachel Maddow Show,” Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney (D-NY) called former National Security Advisor John Bolton “disgusting” for getting a contract to write a book about his experiences in the Trump administration while he is unwilling to testify before Congress. Maloney said, “There are real sources of information that have been denied to be seen properly. The State Department is inexcusably refusing to produce a mountain of evidence, all these notes from these witnesses. They’re all note-takers, and we know that exists. E-Mails, text messages, calendar entries. That’s just one source. And then, of course,...

ROME - A scandal over alleged sexual molestation and abuse at the Vatican’s youth seminary is growing, with more former papal altar boys alleging inappropriate behavior by priests inside the Vatican walls. Le Iene, an Italian investigative television program, plans to air the new allegations Sunday; the show provided the broadcast to The Associated Press ahead of time. The Vatican announced in September that its criminal prosecutor was seeking to indict a former senior seminarian and the then-rector of the St. Pius X seminary on sexual abuse charges. The announcement came two years after Le Iene first featured former seminarians...

Joe Biden's wandering hands and obsessive sniffing habits just cannot be curbed, it seems. Even after he admitted that his actions (obsessively smelling the heads of small children and grabbing and kissing people who didn't ask to be kissed) is creepy and weird and he vowed to stop it, he apparently can't. Here he is on the campaign trail, weirding out other people's kids.

We are unlikely to stumble upon dads openly suckling their babies anytime soon. The hormones are not without side effects; they inevitably entail some degree of breast growth. But as technology has made it increasingly feasible, the potential impact of male breastfeeding on gender roles — who takes on what sort of parenting duties, and all of the consequences that result from those early first choices — looms larger than ever. And at least one man is excited about the possibilities. “I just thought, ‘How cool if it would work!’” Mr. Bengtsson said. “Just imagine the extraordinary consequences it...

More fetal remains have been found in Illinois in a vehicle formerly owned by late Dr. Ulrich Klopfer, the physician who performed abortions at clinics in Fort Wayne, Gary and South Bend, according to a release from Indiana Attorney General Curtis Hill. Hill released a statement Wednesday saying the latest remains were found as family members continued to sort through the late doctor’s belongings in Will County, Ill. In a revised statement released later Wednesday afternoon, members of the Will County Sheriff’s Office reportedly found the remains while searching several vehicles owned by Klopfer that were parked at a business...

White liberals are bigoted racists. They are arrogant, self-absorbed and too dumb to blow their own nose, but these pollutants fancy themselves the saviors of the "nigras," as Jimmy Carter called black Americans when boasting about how good "his mah-ma" treated them. Take for example Jemele Hill, the former ESPN program host who was fired because her extremism had become an embarrassment to the liberal network. Now she's employed by a magazine, which will use her racist hatred for all things white, except the hand that signs her paycheck. Before long the magazine will tire of her and pay her...

Liberal Reaction to Death of Koch Prominent liberals exploded in vicious joy at the news that Koch had died. Perhaps the worst reaction was Bill Maher, who said, "F‑‑‑ him...I'm glad he's dead, and I hope the end was painful." An outlier? Hardly. His audience roared its approval. Bette Midler got in on the act, wishing his brother were also dead. She echoed Maher's profanity-bomb language and directed it at Kay Cole James, the black American leader of the Heritage Foundation, showing once again that no insult directed toward a minority is too vile when it comes from a liberal....

A woman filmed licking a tub of ice cream and returning it to a grocery store shelf in a viral video last week is facing up to 20 years in prison, police said Thursday. The footage — which has been viewed more than 11 million times — shows the so-far unnamed woman opening a container, running her tongue across the ice cream then laughing as she places the violated dessert back in the freezer, in a branch of Walmart in the city of Lufkin, eastern Texas. Police said on Wednesday they believed they had identified the suspect after "detectives had...

Former Republican Congressman Aaron Schock, who resigned amid a financial scandal in 2015, was reportedly spotted at a gay club in Mexico City last weekend. An image of a man alleged to be the 38-year-old ex-politician was taken at Boy Bar, a popular gay bar in Mexico City's famed Zona Rosa, on Saturday around midnight. Schock has long denied being gay, calling questions about his sexuality "completely ridiculous and inappropriate."

Anyone paying attention has probably noticed the deluge of rainbows as corporations, the government and the media hail pride month this June and pay homage to the LGBT agenda. The inescapable onslaught inundates Americans regardless of whether they agree with the progressive LGBTQIA+ zeitgeist or hold to biblical values.Governors hoist pride flags at their state capitols while politicians peddle pride-themed merchandise on their campaign websites. Advertisements champion the LGBT cause and social media profiles transform into rainbow reminders that the corporate world supports the cultural revolution.Verizon, T-Mobile, Sprint and AT&T’s Twitter accounts all sport rainbow variants of their company logos.Underneath...

Las Vegas grandmother sues TSA after they 'forced her to do a strip search and made her remove a common feminine hygiene product' (full title) Rhonda Mengert had been traveling from the Tulsa International Airport on Mother's Day when her hip implant caused the metal detector to sound off. Mengert - who has TSA Pre-check - informed agents that she had the implant but agreed to a pat down test. During the pat down, an agent found a 'common feminine hygiene product that Mengert was wearing underneath her clothing.' The agent then tested her gloves and found no explosive residue...

I think I'm going to be ill. I just sat through the live announcement of the 2019 Pulitzer Prize winners and I have never in my life seen such a vindication of everything we believe about the contemporary mainstream media. First was an agonizing prelude of quotations and videos praising our liberal journalist "friends" for about ten or fifteen minutes (apparently non-liberal journalists don't count as journalists--the hypocrites!). At least it felt like fifteen minutes. Then came the prizes themselves. They literally hit on every left wing trope in existence. They bestrode the entire left wing spectrum from one end...

As former Vice President Joe Biden’s camp scrambles to contain any political damage over his past behavior with women, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has some words of advice: Keep your distance. “Join the straight-arm club,” Pelosi told a breakfast hour Washington event on Tuesday. In other words, keep your handshakes at arms’ length and don’t be touchy-feely. “Just pretend you have a cold and I have a cold,” Pelosi said. Pelosi, D-Calif., told the event, which was sponsored by Politico, that Biden “has to understand that in the world we are in now people’s space is important to them and...
