Those watches, handbags and sunglasses might look awfully alluring when laid out on a New York City street corner — but the feds want holiday shoppers to keep walking. That was the message they hammered home Tuesday as federal authorities warned people not to shell out their hard-earned dollars for fraudulent goods — whose very existence poses a shadowy threat to the country, they said. “Today we’re here to warn the public again with an old saying that will stand the test of time: If the deal seems too good to be true, it probably is,” Marina Vides, assistant special...

Agroup of masked neo-Nazis marched through the capital of Wisconsin on Saturday afternoon waving swastikas around, shouting racial slurs at onlookers, and chanting “there will be blood.” About two dozen men wearing red shirts that identified them as members of Blood Tribe—a white supremacist group that has been trying to make a name for itself since 2021 by targeting Jews, people of color, and the LGBTQ community—took part in the march in Madison, according to local reports. Footage from the scene showed them standing in formation to perform a Nazi salute while onlookers mostly mocked them and called them “disgusting.”...

Musician Kid Rock said Wednesday on Fox News Channel’s “Hannity” that he did not want the Republican Party to be all about “cancel culture and boycotts.”The entertainer helped incite a boycott after Bud Light sent a personalized case of beer to transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney.He said he believed in forgiveness, adding that the makers of Bud Light had “made a mistake.”

Oscar-winning folk singer Buffy Sainte-Marie has long been viewed as a barrier-breaking, Indigenous icon — but a recent news investigation has raised doubts over her Indigenous roots. A Canadian Broadcast Corporation feature on the singer-songwriter has led to accusations that Sainte-Marie is a “pretendian” — the term coined for people who fake having Indigenous ancestry. Sainte-Marie, 82, claimed that she was born on a Piapot Cree reservation in Canada and was adopted by white parents as part of the country’s infamous Sixties Scoop in which Indigenous children were removed from their families and adopted by white families in a government...

Recently we have heard about God moving in college campuses, churches, and cities. Imagine evangelizing an entire country. Two U.S. mission organizations are following the Holy Spirit to do just that in Nicaragua. CBN News learned more about this effort to reach hundreds of thousands of people with the Gospel. A miraculous story is unfolding of Nicaraguans attending mass evangelism campaigns, and witnessing a mighty move of God in their country. Missionary Britt Hancock of the organization "Mountain Gateway" followed God's call to help lead these events, along with Evangelist Nathan Morris and Shake the Nations Ministries. [Excerpt]

The Biden administration was roasted this week after it unveiled an initiative offering Americans the chance to win thousands of dollars for submitting a video showcasing their electric vehicle (EV). The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) - which has pursued a regulatory regime that experts say will force more EV purchases in the coming years - announced the so-called "EV Video Challenge" on Tuesday, offering a total of $13,500 to Americans. Almost immediately after the announcement, the agency was hit with criticism and accused of hypocrisy. "How is the Biden Administration's push to mandate Progressive Lifestyle Choices working out?" the Alliance...

Weather across the United States will make drastic shifts this week as cities from Arizona to New York are forecast for above-average temperatures in the coming days before chilly air brings back the winter feeling. More than 235 million Americans will experience temperatures 5 to 20 degrees higher than average for early November on Tuesday, reported FOX Weather. That is an extreme change from last week's record snowfall in the Rocky Mountains, Great Lakes and New England. According to The Weather Channel, a zonal upper level pattern, which when weather systems move parallel to the latitude lines, will keep temperatures...

False claims that President Joe Biden fell asleep during a moment of silence for victims of the Maui wildfire. A conspiracy theory that the latest surge in Covid-19 cases is being orchestrated by the Democratic Party ahead of the election. An obituary for a late NBA player that described him as “useless.” These false and bizarre stories aren’t showing up on some far-flung corner of the internet — they’re being published by Microsoft. The company’s homepage, also known as MSN.com and Microsoft Start, remains one of the world’s most trafficked websites and a place where millions of Americans get their...

An explicit recruitment advert targeting women for the Ukrainian Army is Russian propaganda and not an official video, Kyiv have said in a statement. A short video linking to the recruitment website for the Armed Forces of Ukraine showing by turns a woman in lingerie, a woman caring for a small child, and a woman preparing for battle has been flagged by an official statement from the Ukrainian government as a fake. Kyiv’s government news outlet Ukrinform picks apart the video, noting it is stitched together from generic stock clips found elsewhere on the internet, and that the video has...

Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Thursday announced that he is sending weapons, ammunition and drones to Israel, just a few days before the GOP presidential hopeful is set to speak at the Republican Jewish Coalition’s annual leadership meeting, which includes major donors. The Republican candidate also announced two cargo planes with 85 pallets of donated supplies, as well as sanctions on Iran and "companies boycotting Israel," such as financial services firm Morningstar. DeSantis is scheduled to speak at the RJC gathering in Las Vegas on Saturday. The moves from the Florida governor come after he was previously accused by...

“On one day, 30 people were jabbed on the same day, at the same location. All are now deceased. And their deaths are in close temporal, time, proximity to each other,” she said.“We are calling for an inquiry. Not just any inquiry. A full-blown criminal investigation leaving no stone unturned.”“New Zealand is a crime scene.”

A new study out of Norway is exactly what was needed to shut down the climate alarmists. Its findings show that man has not set fire to his home planet. Right from the top, in the abstract not 10 lines into the study, the authors get to the point. “Using theoretical arguments and statistical tests we find,” the researchers say, “that the effect of man-made CO2 emissions does not appear to be strong enough to cause systematic changes in the temperature fluctuations during the last 200 years.” In other words, our words, the greenhouse effect is so weak that it...

Sidney Powell, the one-time Trump legal adviser — who famously failed to “release the Kraken” that would overturn the 2020 election — has flipped. *** ***Powell was in bad odor with both Trump and Giuliani from the minute she started jabbering about Krakens, which Giuliani told the then-president was “crazy s- -t.” Between them they fired her three times, because they thought she was a crackpot. *** But in truth, it didn’t take long after the 2020 election for Giuliani, then Trump’s attorney, to realize that Powell had zero evidence for her farfetched claims, including that Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez...

9 year old tries vegan “meat” it goes pretty much as expected! Nine year old boys aren’t exactly known for their subtlety and tact. This kid has ZERO filter. He isn’t the least bit shy about sharing his opinion. He was given an opportunity to taste some of that plant-based pseudo-meat. Kareem’s reaction was caught on video. He did NOT pull any punches. He was NOT told the 'meat was 'vegan'. VIDEO AT LINK.....................

I recently wrote about specific technologies which can affect the human brain and other locations of the body and can be used for torture. Those technologies are sometimes described as “Directed Energy Weapons” or “Directed Energy Systems.”A significant point made in one of my articles is that Directed Energy Weapons and Systems use radio frequency, infrared, or other electromagnetic energy and can secretly focus that energy onto a specific group or a specific person within that group to cause harm.Basically, Directed Energy Weapons and Directed Energy Systems commonly use electromagnetic technologies from a remote and secret location and then focus...

Three men are accused of abducting a Florida man in Fort Lauderdale at gunpoint, waterboarding him and then trying to enlist his help in their plot when they realized they'd taken the wrong person, according to a federal indictment unsealed Tuesday. The alleged victim played along until he got away long enough to call in a bomb threat that sent a massive police response to the rescue, authorities said. The suspects are two bothers, Jeffry Arista, 32, and Jonathan Arista, 29, and a third man named Raymond Gomez. They allegedly snatched a man in a parking garage outside his Fort...

The Biden administration is facing an onslaught of opposition to its proposed fuel economy standards, which critics say would increase consumer costs and unfairly burden U.S. businesses. The Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) received more than 62,900 public comments related to the fuel economy regulations it issued in late July during its comment period, which ended Monday. The so-called Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards received opposition letters from a wide range of stakeholders, including 26 states and the energy, agriculture and automotive industries. "NHTSA’s proposal is yet another attempt by the Biden administration to restrict...

The Department of Health and Human Services, headed up by Joe Biden’s transgender ‘Admiral’ Rachel Levine, has enforced a mandate that all employees must use ‘preferred pronouns’ and acknowledge the gender identity of their colleagues. An internal HHS email outlining the new “streamlined” policy was obtained and made public by the Heritage Foundation’s Roger Severino. Titled “HHS Gender Non-Discrimination and Inclusion Policy,” the email begins “Happy National Coming Out Day!” (yet another LGBTQ+ ‘holiday’). It then notes “When individuals bring their whole selves to work, all of us at HHS thrive. We want to ensure that HHS continues [to be...

A bombshell report was released this year evidencing a scandal that ranks among the worst in its evil: the euthanization of patients for the sake of profit. It made enough of a splash to spur new industry protocols but apparently not enough to stop the entrenched practice of hastening the death of hospice patients. The November 2022 report, written by Ava Kofman for ProPublica, shows how hospice conditions create what seems to be an irresistible — and ultimately lethal — opportunity for corruption: The industry rakes in massive funds from Medicare, which delivers a flat daily cash benefit, but hospice...
