Facebook has restricted “distribution” of Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson’s page due to the “repeated sharing of false news.” The censorship comes just over a month before the presidential election. “Your Page has reduced distribution and other restrictions because of repeated sharing of false news. People will also be able to see if a Page has a history of sharing false news,” read Facebook’s notice. Facebook did not specify which post or posts had led to the decision.

Former NBA stars Charles Barkley and Shaquille O’Neal pushed back on a lot of the outrage that racial activists have been fomenting in recent days over the death of Breonna Taylor, noting that the case, while tragic, did not belong in the same category as the death of George Floyd. “It’s bad the young lady lost her life, but, you know, we do have to take into account that her boyfriend did shoot at the cops and shot a cop,” Barkley said. “So, like I said, even though I’m really sorry she lost her life, I don’t think that we...

Former NFL player and “Speak for Yourself” sports commentator Marcellus Wiley slammed critics who told him he was “wrong for misinterpreting” the mission of the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement after BLM removed a page from its website critical of the “Western-prescribed nuclear family structure.” “Heard too many people tell me that I was wrong for misinterpreting BLM’s mission statement and I took their words out of context,” Wiley tweeted out on Monday. “You were saying???” he wrote, adding the hashtags “#factsoverfeelings #apologyaccepted.” He also posted a video of him blasting BLM’s now-deleted “mission statement” against the nuclear family.

A 77-year-old military veteran in California is recovering from his wounds after he said he was beaten by two people because of his “Make America Great Again” hat. Red Bluff police have charged Daniel Gomez-Martinez, 26, with battery and elder abuse after a man said he was attacked for his political views outside the post office in Red Bluff on Friday. The man, who asked not to be identified during an interview with KRCR-TV, said he was wearing a “Make America Great Again” hat in support of President Trump and a Thin Blue Line mask in support of law enforcement...

This is one hopeful scenario whereas we wont have to worry about waiting another week after Trump won by a comfortable margin to wait for the unopened mail in ballots to be counted. What needs to happen on election night is up to 90 to 95 percent of registered voters show up or have mailed in their ballots, especially in swing states. To the extent where the amount of mail in ballots yet counted will surpass the amount of voters in many districts. This is typical of some blue districts where they have been known to have more registered voters...

A high school in Florida has banned its football team from flying the “Thin Blue Line” flag, deeming it inappropriate, after the athletes flew the pro-police flags on the field to honor one student’s dead police officer father. A “racist” flag?: Fletcher High School’s football team, the Fletcher Senators, had flown the flag during 11 games of the 2019 season and flew it again during a game last week. The team flew the flag to honor former Jacksonville Beach police officer Cpl. Andy Lavender who died last August. His son, Caelan, is an offensive lineman for the team.

There have now been 48,299 coronavirus cases reported at 37 universities in the United States. Of those cases there have been ONLY 2 hospitalizations. And there have been ZERO DEATHS!

2020 Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden screwed up the Pledge of Allegiance Monday during a campaign speech in Wisconsin. “I pledge allegiance to the United States of America, one nation, indivisible, under God, for real,” Biden said. Biden’s Monday slip-up marks the second campaign gaffe this week after the former vice president wrongly claimed 200 million had perished from the novel Wuhan coronavirus, when in fact at the time of the address the number of Americans lost from the virus was nearly 200,000.

Democrats are reportedly gearing up for “total war” and plan to implement radical changes to the legislative and judiciary branches of the government if the GOP-led Senate confirms a new Supreme Court (SCOTUS) justice before the Nov. 3 election then lose the majority after the election, Axios reported Sunday. The Democrats’ options include ending the Senate filibuster rule — which requires a 60-vote supermajority to end debate and move to a vote instead of a simple majority — expanding the number of Supreme Court justices, granting statehood to the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, and even undertaking a second...

The left has pounced on late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s “fervent wish” that her seat isn’t filled until after the election as though it’s law that must be followed. But what they seem to have forgotten is what she said in 2016 about filling a vacancy during an election year. When the Republican-controlled Senate blocked former President Obama’s pick of Merrick Garland to fill the late Antonin Scalia’s seat, Ginsburg instructed them to proceed with reviewing the nomination. “That’s their job,” she told The New York Times in an interview. “There’s nothing in the Constitution that says the president stops...

liberals have sounded the jungle drums: trump will be dragged from the oval office should he refuse to vacate on january 20, 2021. there is not much of a preamble, but presumably, this is only if trump is not elected to a second term. however, what if there is an electoral college or ussc electoral college issue stalemate? we already see that the liberals are willing to sacrifice the constitutional institutions of the electoral college and the ussc upon the altar of social justice (the contemporary equivalent term for political correctness these days). in theory, if the electoral college cannot...

The Hill reporter Joe Concha contrasted the easy-going line of questioning Joe Biden received from voters during a CNN town hall on Thursday to the grilling questions President Trump took at a separate town hall this week. Concha’s observation: Biden, Concha said in an appearance on “Fox & Friends” Friday, took “beach balls” for questions during the Pennsylvania town hall but described Trump’s ABC News-moderated town hall as “obviously hostile.” “One town hall was infinitely more challenging than the other,” Concha said. “It’s very apparent what we saw between the two candidates, one obviously hostile the other one hospitable.”

That’s a really crappy political campaign. Police in Maine are hunting a middle-aged woman who has been dumping dog poop in Trump supporters’ mailboxes, according to a report Thursday. “She has been picking up dog feces and putting it in mailboxes, specifically of people who have Trump signs outside,” Alyshia Canwell, a patrol officer with Hampden Public Safety, told WGME. The doggy-doo deliverer was spotted both Sunday and Monday, and was snapped riding a purple bike around Hampden while wearing a matching-colored T-shirt, glasses and Crocs, according to a police photo.

We’re told by feminists and members of the elite media that we are not to comment on what women politicians are wearing because that would be sexist. Yet this past week, the mainstream media fawned over Democratic vice-presidential candidate Kamala Harris’ Timberland boots, even though some outlets previously ripped First Lady Melania Trump for wearing the same brand. On Wednesday, multiple media outlets covered Harris’ choice to wear Timberland boots while visiting areas affected by the California wildfires. The most bootlicking (pun intended) of which came from Yahoo!Finance writer Brian Sozzi, whose headline read: “Kamala Harris may have made Timberland...

A professor at Suffolk County Community College in New York has been reassigned pending an investigation by the university after a video of her encouraging students not to vote for President Trump during an online class was posted on social media. The professor in question has been identified as Janet Gulla, an assistant women’s studies professor at the university, according to Newsday. “He’s had four freaking years of a chance, and he’s done a crap job, and he’s really ruining our country,” Gulla said during a virtual lesson. She continued: “Many of you this may be the first time that...

Two Ohio high school students were reinstated on their football team after being suspended for disobeying an order to not carry flags supporting police onto the field, according to the school district. Students Jarad Bentley and Brady Williams from Little Miami High School were suspended from the team after they carried a thin red line flag honoring firefighters and a thin blue line flag honoring police onto the football field Friday, according to TV station Local 12. Both boys had previously requested the school to carry the flags onto the field, but their request was denied and they were warned...

During Monday’s broadcast of ABC’s “The View,” co-host Sunny Hostin said that President Trump’s campaign was “manufacturing” a false narrative that Black Lives Matter protest were violent. She actually recognizes them as ‘peaceful’ protests and all the chaos is being pushed by Trump and his administration… Pathetic! Talking about the two Los Angeles Country deputies being ambushed and shot in Compton, Hostin said: “I want to say that there’s no place for people to go and shoot officers that are sitting in their cars. My heart goes out to their families and their friends. I was so horrified to hear...

Bands of armed Oregonians blocked roads and demanded identification from motorists after a small fire was ignited intentionally on Saturday, police said. Multnomah County Sheriff Mike Reese said the blaze was started by an illegal firework and was put out quickly, according to a Saturday tweet from the department.
