The American administration did what they always have done when they don’t want to engage openly in certain matters. They leaked to the press what they wanted everyone to know but could not say openly. I’m talking about the S-400 offer made to Turkey that would see Ankara delivering the S-400 batteries it purchased from Russia to Ukraine, in return it will be returned to the F-35 program from which it was removed. This is the offer that was leaked. It is obvious that it is an unreasonable offer, but it is also clear that the American administration used the...

The Delta variant is spreading across the country fast, and Beijing has no answer to the new strain other than draconian, totalitarian brute-force measures—and blaming foreigners. Millions of Chinese residents are now in various forms of lockdown. The recent infections constitute the most widespread coronavirus outbreak since the disease first hit China, sometime in late 2019.

A bombshell Reuters report has revealed evidence of an outbreak of a completely different virus from another Chinese bio-facility around the same time as COVID-19. According to a 2020 Reuters reports, “Brucellosis, a bacterial disease with flu-like symptoms, infected more than 6,000 people in a single outbreak in northwestern China.” The report noted that “Usually caused by contact with animals, the outbreak in Lanzhou, the capital of Gansu province, was due to a leak at a vaccine plant, according to Lanzhou’s health commission. People are still being treated at hospitals even though the outbreak happened a year ago.” The outbreak...

A former Special Assistant to Donald Trump revealed on Thursday that a "freight train" of election audits are coming. Boris Epshteyn joined Steve Bannon on The War Room and began discussing Joe Biden’s speech to a limited joint session of Congress on Wednesday night. Epshteyn told the War Room audience that, thanks to the courage of the Arizona patriots, a “freight train” of election audits are coming in in Maricopa County.

Last night, Joe Biden gave his first prime time address since taking office. Biden, who still hasn’t held a press conference and who still hasn’t delivered a State of the Union, reminded everyone who watched it just why the White House is so hell bent on hiding the President from the media: because he is an unmitigated disaster when he speaks. Even by Biden standards the speech was dismal. Biden rambled, looked lost, and delivered cringe-worthy attempts at “showing emotion.” It was more Saturday Night Live than Lincoln, but you wouldn’t know that if you didn’t watch the speech.

Welcome to the weekend. You currently sober drunk host with you again. I worked myself to exhaustion Friday night and crashed in bed rather than continue with normal activities including completion of the Newsdump Friday post. I had to draw the line. This week Charlotte Bennett said that Andrew Cuomo told her that he was "tired" and "lonely" and then went on to make other comments indicating his sexual intentions. "Tired" is not a good place to be and I made the right decision I apologize for the inconvenience to you all who read my blog and enjoy it and...

A federal judge in Texas has indefinitely blocked President Biden’s efforts to impose a 100-day ban on deportations for illegal immigrants. Biden proposed a freeze on deportations for all illegal aliens during his first 100 days in office during his campaign. ... U.S. District Judge Drew Tipton indefinitely banned any enforcement of that 100-day moratorium on deportations. Tipton’s ruling is viewed as a victory for Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who filed a lawsuit against the federal government over the 100-day pause on deportations. But it doesn’t exclusively apply to Texas.

BONGINO: “But on this nuclear football story, you know, I’m not kidding, when the producers sent this to me, I had to read this twice. I thought, ‘Is this ‘The Babylon Bee’? Is this ‘The Onion’?’ This is a real story.” HANNITY: “You thought it was fake news, right?” BONGINO: “No, I’m not kidding. I thought, ‘Is he trying to be funny about this?’ This is a real story. These are Democrats. You said it in your opening segment, I hope everybody didn’t miss the line. Is there something these Democrats aren’t telling us? It was something I warned about...

A new Quinnipiac University poll out Wednesday shows Americans think Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (GA) more exemplifies the Republican Party than Rep. Liz Cheney (WY). The poll is almost certainly meant to convey just how far adrift the Republican party has become in the eyes of the media but in reality, it is more emblematic of how difficult it is going to be for the GOP to separate themselves from supporters of former President Trump. Alienating Trump means alienating your conservative base. And that base wants fighters regardless of their past controversial comments – which Greene has apologized for –...

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is under investigation by the FBI and a United States attorney in Brooklyn for his administration’s possible cover-up of a COVID-related nursing home scandal. The Times Union in Albany is reporting that an investigation has been launched “examining, at least in part, the actions of Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo’s coronavirus task force in its handling of nursing homes and other long-term care facilities during the pandemic.” ... Multiple New York state Democrats – that’s Democrats – have accused the administration of criminal conduct in the nursing home scandal cover-up. Fox News reports that nine Democratic...

Representative Bennie Thompson, the Democratic chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, filed a federal lawsuit against former President Donald Trump for his alleged role in inciting a riot at the Capitol on January 6th. The Mississippi lawmaker claims Trump conspired with attorney Rudy Giuliani and extremist groups to stop Congress from certifying President Biden’s Electoral College win, which in turn led to violence. The suit accuses Trump of violating the 1871 Ku Klux Klan Act which was passed in an effort to address the KKK and prohibits violence or intimidation meant to prevent members of Congress or other federal...

Fox News meteorologist Janice Dean celebrated a scathing report from the New York State Attorney General accusing the Cuomo administration of “undercounting” and “obscuring” the number of nursing home deaths due to COVID-19. The New York Times reports that attorney general Letitia James, a Democrat, has accused Cuomo and his administration, particularly officials at the State Health Department, of undercounting COVID deaths at nursing homes by as much as 50%. ... The report must have been seen as a relief for Dean after fighting for months to reveal Governor Andrew Cuomo and his administration’s efforts to stonewall – or worse...

HEMMER: “I don’t know how much you thought about the future of the Republican Party but there is a comment that came in ‘The Guardian’ from James Comey former head of the FBI and I’m going to read it for, sir. ‘The Republican Party needs to be burned down or changed. Something is shifting and I’m hoping it’s the fault breaking apart, a break between the Trumpists and those people who want to try and build a responsible conservative party, because everybody should know that we need one. Who would want to be part of an organization that at its...

President-elect Joe Biden announced that economic relief for struggling businesses would be based partly on the gender and race of the owners. In a video posted to the Biden-Harris presidential transition team Twitter account, the soon-to-be President admitted his obsession with identity politics by noting skin color and gender would play a part in deciding who gets economic relief from the federal government. “Our focus will be on small businesses on Main Street that aren’t wealthy and well-connected, that are facing real economic hardships through no fault of their own,” Biden announced. He added, “Our priority will be Black, Latino,...

A project conducted by Harvard University scientists and funded largely by Microsoft founder Bill Gates to test sun-dimming technology to cool global warming is quietly moving forward in Sweden. We know what you’re thinking – this can’t be real. Well, friends, it is. Reuters reports that the Harvard project “plans to test out a controversial theory that global warming can be stopped by spraying particles into the atmosphere that would reflect the sun’s rays.” In Sweden, plans to fly a test balloon next year are already underway. The test balloon will not release any particles into the atmosphere, but “could...
