NEW YORK – New York Attorney General Letitia James today took legal action to compel Donald J. Trump, Donald Trump, Jr., and Ivanka Trump to appear for sworn testimony as part of the office’s ongoing civil investigation into the Trump Organization’s financial dealings. The motion to compel filed today seeks a court order enforcing testimonial subpoenas issued to Donald J. Trump, Donald Trump, Jr., and Ivanka Trump, as well as the production of documents held by Donald J. Trump. As the papers filed today make clear, each of the individuals was directly involved in one or more transactions under review....

Think about it.First, they pushed for voting restoration for felons.Then they pushed for voting in prisons.Now they are decriminalizing most felonies.I'm accusing them of ignoring crime because they are protecting the voting rights of the criminals. They are turning felonies into misdemeanors so the criminals won't lose their votes.Then they can harvest those votes.

The Choice is Yours.

The editors of the Danish newspaper Ekstra Bladet apologized for "thoughtlessly regurgitating the official government narrative on covid without ever questioning the validity of the content. We got swept up in the 'end-of-the-world' hysteria that led to bogus claims that 'science' required the incoherent and authoritarian measures that ruined millions of livelihoods, cost trillions of dollars, and encouraged vicious hatred of the scapegoats designated by government health authorities and politicians." "Good journalism emanates from skepticism," the editors wrote. "If we are to avert a further decline into insanity we must return to this foundation of our business. A self-governing people...

And just like that she's back. Hillary. We honestly thought that she was gone, finito, kaput. As God is my witness, I thought that she had left the building...for good. But no. We were wrong. Recently, Hillary sort of announced, in her cryptic way, "Hey, I'm still here. I'm presidential timber. I can go the distance this time. I'll dust off my 6 year old acceptance speech and drag my moth eaten purple pantsuit out of the closet. I'm a contender!" (Cue the Rocky theme song) Why? Everyone wonders why. She is richer than King Midas and can afford to...

An international network of so-called “fact-checking” organizations funded by massive liberal organizations called on YouTube to censor more content the network disagrees with. The leftist International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN), a project of the Poynter Institute, published an open letter whining that YouTube “is allowing its platform to be weaponized by unscrupulous actors to manipulate and exploit others, and to organize and fundraise themselves.” In the IFCN’s draconian view, “Current measures are proving insufficient.” IFCN exploited the COVID-19 pandemic to decry how “destructive disinformation and misinformation can be for social harmony, democracy, and public health; too many lives and livelihoods have...

Well, Omicron is hitting hard. Not the virus itself, but governments’ reaction to the virus. The NY Empire Manufacturing Index has tanked into negative territory. New orders are down 5%. On the energy front, West Texas Intermediate Crude Oil futures are up 79% since January 1, 2021 while regular gasoline prices are up “only” 50% over the same period. How about inflation and the Treasury yield curve? Inflation has soared to 40-year highs under Biden as energy prices (WTI Crude Futures) have soared 79%. Maybe they should play the Darth Vader theme when Biden goes to the podium to stammer.

"Biden's decision to use the MLK holiday as a backdrop to push his voting bill exposed another rift: There isn't even agreement in the late civil rights leader's own family about the need for the legislation. With drama and fury, President Joe Biden declared to the nation on Martin Luther King Jr. Day that state laws requiring voter ID or banning mass mailing of absentee ballots amounted to an "assault on our freedom to vote," especially for minority Americans. Four days earlier, a poll in Michigan told a different story: Three-quarters of the battleground state voters supported ballot ID requirements,...

"Mask mandates have always been more about showing compliance than keeping people safe, and the CDC’s latest embarrassing disclosure further proves it. For two years now, to walk into a grocery store barefaced has been to risk soliciting dirty stares, at least in some parts of the country. But walk in with your face covered by a thin piece of fabric, preferably with some vaguely woke slogan, that you got overpriced on Etsy? You’re golden. ..."

One of the main drivers of notions like systemic racism has been the ban on public discussions of IQ. A psychometrician published some results in 1970 that caused an uproar in an early manifestation of cancel culture. Charles Taylor and Richard J. Herrnstein in The Bell Curve, published in 1994, point out that the connection between IQ and success or the lack of success is indisputable at this point. In the social sciences, there can be one study that suggests one thing, and another one that contradicts it. But, the effects of IQ on lifetime achievement is not like that....

Tonight in Germany massive and widespread protest of COVID lockdowns, vaccine passports and coerced vaccination reaching new heights. A DPA news agency story tonight totaled up 77,000 protesters at dozens of locations across the country...

Before Covid-19, Nicolas Rimoldi had never attended a protest. But somewhere along the pandemic’s long and tortuous road, which saw his native Switzerland imposing first one lockdown, then another, and finally introducing vaccination certificates, Rimoldi decided he had had enough. In Europe, things are so bad that the unvaccinated have been forced to create underground groups that signal the location of vaccination police just to be able to eat a meal, buy groceries or have any semblance of a normal life. The persecution of the unvaccinated is so bad that a two-class system has erupted, much like the societal split...

Scientists are struggling to monitor an active volcano that erupted off the South Pacific island of Tonga at the weekend, after the explosion destroyed its sea-level crater and drowned its mass, obscuring it from satellites. The eruption of Hunga-Tonga-Hunga-Ha’apai volcano, which sits on the seismically active Pacific Ring of Fire, sent tsunami waves across the Pacific Ocean and was heard some 2,300 kms (1,430 miles) away in New Zealand. “The concern at the moment is how little information we have and that’s scary,” said Janine Krippner, a New Zealand-based volcanologist with the Smithsonian Global Volcanism Program. “When the vent is...

Our American Marxists, both in and out of the administration of “Dementia” Joe Biden, have learned that if you can’t cancel people who are too big to cancel, you can at least make their financial life difficult and it almost impossible for them to do business, as they are once again trying to do with Trump-supporting conservative entrepreneur and Mt Pillow CEO Mike Lindell by putting pressure on his banks to stop doing business with him/ They tried to destroy his company by coercing major retailers to drop his product lines and media outlets to refuse his advertising. Now they...

1. Pfizer and Moderna used aborted cell lines for testing, and probably continue to use fetal cells in the production of the vaccines for laboratory testing when making new batches. Johnson & Johnson used aborted cell lines for testing, development, and production. This may be more extensive than commonly acknowledged.

The FBI doesn't know anything, except this is totally not Islamic terrorism. Their pro-terrorist Islamic advisers/infiltrators/overlords told them so. As usual: We may never know the motive, they vowed. Biden went out and claimed he could not even guess at the motive of the Islamic terrorist who was demanding the release of another Islamic terrorist by threatening to murder Jews. After backlash, the FBI has finally admitted the possibility of what it spent the weekend denying: this is a "terrorism-related matter." Not terrorism. Oh no, not that. The FBI won't call that. The FBI is very determined to preserve its...

CNN’s Reliable Sources anchor Brian Stelter slobbered over the leftist website ratings firm NewsGuard as some sort of paragon of journalistic virtue. Stelter fawned in a Jan. 16 blog how NewsGuard announced that its business was “reliable enough to turn a profit.” But here was the senseless part: “Although there are many quibbles with specific rulings about certain sites, the results are directionally reliable, distinguishing global newsrooms that try to report fairly from fly-by-night sites that publish propaganda with no regard for reality.” Nope. A recent study by MRC revealed that NewsGuard’s ratings system, which scores websites on a zero...

IRS Charles Rettig warned that "due to the enormous challenges the government faces we may no longer be able to afford giving refunds on your taxes." "The very fact that we already have the money and are trillions of dollars in debt creates a tremendous pressure to simply keep the money," Retig said. "This alone would lower the government's expenses. We would also save money by not having to process returns that are filed. While it's probably too late to save every taxpayer the time and trouble of preparing and filing, we could certainly save time and trouble here at...

It has finally all come together. Two years ago, I had the feeling that COVID was a lab leak. Egged on by Anthony Fauci, the media went into a full court press on anyone who dared suggest it. Somehow Fauci "knew" that Donald Trump would have a surprise infectious outbreak on his hands. Fauci argued vociferously that COVID did not come from a lab. Something was wrong. In January of 2020 Fauci also told us ““…..This is not a major threat to the people of the United States and this is not something that the citizens of the United States...
