Attacking the vulnerable and elderly and trashing human rights is what police in Australia do best. I have personally witnessed or been the victim of half a dozen police assaults on the innocent in Melbourne. A 95 year old woman tasered by police in aged care in New South Wales has died from the injuries which included a fractured skull. The New South Wales police officer faces three charges of assault. Recklessly causing grievous bodily harm. Assault occasioning actual bodily harm. Common assault. Will these charges be upgraded to murder? In Victoria, police put their victims on trial. This nation...

Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Peter Thompson dismissed Kari Lake’s lawsuit against the stolen 2022 Midterm Election late Monday night, following a three day trial exposing election misconduct and fraudulent mail-in ballot signature verification. The new Minute Entry states, “rather than trying to cast doubt on a specific number of ballots (a herculean evidentiary endeavor in these circumstances), she attempts to prove that the signature review process for Maricopa County was not conducted pursuant to A.R.S. § 16-550(A) or the EPM.” Kari Lake attorney Kurt Olsen told the Court, “11 of the signature verification workers approved 170k signatures at a...

Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) has come under fire after making changes to his personal Twitter account in preparation for a reported presidential bid announcement this week. Previously known on Twitter as @GovRonDeSantisFL, the governor’s new handle now reads @GovRonDeSantis. The decision to drop the “FL” from his handle has been interpreted by some as an act of distancing himself from the state that propelled him into the national spotlight. Critics argue that by removing the “FL,” DeSantis is effectively signaling that he views Florida as a means to an end and has little intention of continuing his service as governor...

People growing up in the city of Chicago have about a one in fifteen chance of being shot by the time they turn 40, results of a new survey suggest. Last weekend, at least 26 people in Chicago were shot, eight fatally, including three who were wounded while standing on a sidewalk and caught in the crossfire between two vehicles. That’s up from the 20 citizens who were shot, and the four killed by gunfire, the previous weekend. A new study finds that 6.46% (1 in 15) of Chicagoans had been shot by their 40th birthday. What’s more, half (50.0%)...

How does this guy still have a job? DHS Chief Alejandro Mayorkas on Sunday said it is “sad and tragic” when governors secure their states’ borders amid an invasion of military aged illegal aliens. Hordes of illegals are pouring over the border this weekend after Title 42 expired. ..... Snip..... Mayorkas lashed out at governors working to secure their borders during an interview with MSNBC’s Jonathan Capehart. Capehart actually asked Mayorkas if governors taking action to protect their citizens from illegal invaders is “even Constitutional.” VIDEO:

Earlier this week, a 34-year-old driver led North Carolina police officers and deputies on a pursuit after fleeing from the officers during a traffic stop. According to the Town of Boone Police Department and the Watauga County Sheriff’s Office, the suspect, later identified as Joshua Minton, of Millers Creek, NC, ran into an undeveloped area after abandoning his vehicle in the Deep Gap area. Because the suspect was driving fast and recklessly, officers were not close behind him and therefore did not see where he ran to, police said. While officers were searching the area for the suspect, they were...

The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office has reportedly made the decision to file charges, which was not presented to a grand jury.

Penny’s legal team had previously stated that he could “not have anticipated” that his actions to subdue an alleged threat would...

The city medical examiner has ruled the death of a homeless man choked by a Marine on the subway earlier this week a homicide — as prosecutors mulled whether to pursue charges. Jordan Neely’s cause of death was “compression of neck (chokehold)” and the manner constituted a homicide, the medical examiner determined Wednesday afternoon. Neely, 30, was reportedly homeless and having a mental episode onboard an F train in lower Manhattan Monday afternoon when another straphanger jumped in to restrain him, according to police and witness accounts. The wannabe vigilante, identified as a 24-year-old Marine from Queens, took down Neely...

A Louisiana woman claimed during a Tuesday hearing that an unusual affinity for “raw green vegetables” was one of the clues that led her to believe her daughter would identify as transgender. The woman appeared before the Louisiana State House’s Health and Welfare Committee to speak ahead of a vote on HB 463, which would ban so-called “gender-affirming” surgical procedures for minors, and she laid out some of the signs that had stood out to her prior to her daughter’s eventual announcement that she identified as male. “We couldn’t figure out what the problem was. We took him to specialists,...

An Indiana Republican politician caused woke leftists to lose their minds when he reintroduced himself as a “woman of color” and “a lesbian” because he is attracted to women. Earlier this month, Delaware County council member Ryan Webb posted a photo to his Facebook account showing him with a pistol in his waistband. The caption read “Ready for an awesome day! Hope everyone has a great day!” The “awesome day” he was referring was him “coming out” as a black, transgender female. The Muncie Star-Press reported Webb posted the following message:

E Jean Carroll sparred with Trump’s lawyer on Thursday after she claimed Trump “raped” her. She told Trump’s lawyer that after she was raped she called a friend and told her about the alleged assault. Carroll claims she phoned her friend Lisa Birnbach to tell her what had happened and that she was laughing during the phone call. Joe Tacopina took a quote from E. Jean Carroll’s book where she said Birnbach told her the sexual assault wasn’t funny but she “couldn’t stop laughing.” Carroll told Tacopina she was laughing because she was full of adrenaline and that she didn’t...

At one point Joe Biden tried to lure a little girl into the White House. “What’s it like in the White House?” a little girl asked Biden. “What’s it like in the White House?

The depth of effort to manipulate the American electorate, to continue the Big Club objective & illusion of choice, is remarkable when you stand back and look at the totality of it. It is not surprising when you understand how committed the power centers are; in fact, it’s just another step in a predictable sequence of events. However, for those who cling to disbelief out of their mistaken need to bury acceptance, the reality of the constructs become empirical data points in the awakening. As predicted, the Florida Senate has introduced a change to the vote and candidate laws in...

My grandfather the Right Reverend JR Blanchard attended Queen Elizabeth's coronation. At the memorial service for her on 9/11 last year in Melbourne, Victoria Police physically and sexually assaulted me. I wrote to the Lord Mayor and City Councillors asking their support for an independent investigation. They have not replied. The Herald Sun newspaper of April 17 had the front page headline "Criminal Free Run"

Thousands of people are shot, stabbed, beaten, run over – assaulted and murdered – in America’s inner cities, every day. In ones and twos, in fives and tens. Drug crimes, gang wars, imagined insults, intentionally-taught hostility – a cult of violence. When the law-and-order minded conservatives – known as the Right – remind the public of the reasons behind this violence – the welfare state, the pop culture, the easy jail sentences, the early release of prisoners who should have been kept in jail – the Left often accuses us of disregarding all other inputs, and basing our policies on...

According to The Daily Mail, the mass shooter who killed 5 people and injured 9 others at a bank in Louisville, Kentucky left a lengthy manifesto explaining his reasons for perpetrating the shooting. While the manifesto has not been officially released, it seems the perp murdered these people in a bizarre anti-gun protest, killing them because he was opposed to mass shootings. The 13-page missive describes his goals before the horror at the downtown Old National Bank, where the 25-year-old livestreamed the massacre on Instagram as he gunned down co-workers at their morning conference. Sturgeon made three key points in...
