Washington, D.C. Chief of Police Pam Smith resigned in disgrace on Friday after a scathing report released earlier this week. The House Oversight Committee report revealed that Smith coerced department officials into manipulating crime data across the District. The report claimed that she urged district commanders to “reduce crime statistics by any means necessary." The investigation into Smith uncovered systemic abuse of criminal reporting practices within the department. The Oversight Committee stated that: “Testimony revealed that Chief Smith prioritized lowering publicly reported crime numbers over reducing actual crime, placing intense pressure on district commanders to produce low crime statistics by...

Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett launched a campaign Monday for the U.S. Senate in Texas, telling President Donald Trump, “I'm coming for you," and bringing a national profile to what could be a critical race for Democrats’ long-shot hopes of reclaiming a Senate majority in next year’s midterm elections. Crockett, one of Congress’ most outspoken Democrats, a frequent target of GOP attacks and a Trump target, jumped into the race on the final day of qualifying in Texas. She is seeking the Senate seat held by Republican John Cornyn, who is running for reelection in the GOP-dominated state. “As a candidate...

A Danish sperm bank has introduced a minimum IQ requirement of 85 for potential donors. This new rule has sparked debate about genetics, ethics, and parental expectations in assisted reproduction. Setting a Minimum Intelligence Standard The Danish sperm bank Donor Network now screens donors by intelligence, becoming the first in the world to require a minimum IQ of 85. It also bars anyone with a criminal record. So far, the company has turned away about 18 percent of applicants who failed to meet the IQ standard. The average IQ is about 100, and researchers estimate that intelligence is 50–80 percent...

They didn't have a problem when Jon Stewart used it as his go-to insult again and again. Gov. Tim Walz is retarded. Not because he suffers from developmental disabilities or other medical problems, but because he’s an idiot. Everyone who isn’t Gov. Tim Walz knew exactly what President Trump was saying when he called Walz “seriously retarded”. The fake outrage over this is just that… fake. No one is seriously outraged over Trump using “retarded”. They’re pretending to be outraged to scuttle the investigation of Somali fraud under Walz’s watch, the redistricting battle in Indiana and because being professionally outraged...

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson argues that being black is like having a handicap or disability. They don't have equal access to the voting system. They're disabled."

Watch Democrats FUMBLING to explain after being called out for their FAKE POLL that adds up to 110%. Rep Brian Jack : “Is it meant to add up to 110% or is that an error?” *gibberish* Rep MTG : "It still adds up to 110%. That's a fake poll right there!" Can someone help Democrats like @Rep_Stansbury figure out the math on their fake polls? They have ZERO substance.

Actor Robert De Niro said Tuesday on ABC’s “The View” that former President Donald Trump and his supporters were filled with anger and hate. Co-host Sunny Hostin said, “Some people have criticized you, because you’ve been pretty open about your dislike for Mr. Trump and the dangers he poses to democracy. You once famously said you’d like to punch him in the face. But right now he’s leading in the polls in five battleground states. Any advice to the Biden campaign or the voters? What are you thinking?” Heavily censored, De Niro said, “Well, I think I don’t understand why...

Social media users trashed Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Texas, after she turned her gaffe about the moon being "made of gases" into a slam of Republicans on social media Tuesday. Reacting to the backlash she received for telling school children that the moon is made of gases ahead of Monday’s eclipse, the lawmaker said that her Republican critics are hounding her because they have a "lust for stupidity." She gave a speech at Booker T. Washington High School in Houston on the day of the eclipse, telling an assembly of students, "Sometimes, you need to take the opportunity just to...

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Monday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that her deepest condolences go out to the three U.S. service members killed in a drone attack by Iran-backed militants in Jordan, who she said were fighting on behalf “of this administration.” Co-host Mika Brzezinski said, “Is there anything new since we spoke with Admiral Kirby in the last hour in terms of the Biden administration’s plans to respond to what has happened?” Jean-Pierre said, “So nothing new to report back from what Admiral John Kirby shared with all of you about an hour or so ago. What...

Clip from Joey B vs. the World #28: Generation Zero

You must give Dr. Mehmet Oz credit in the final months of the 2022 elections. He’s turned the ship around, chipping away at Pennsylvania Democratic Lt. Gov. John Fetterman’s double-digit lead by attacking his record on crime and public safety. Oz, the Republican candidate in this year’s U.S. Senate race, was trailing Fetterman by an 11-point average. It looked like a dumpster fire, but Oz put out the flames, overhauled his staff, and found a resonant message. Fetterman's inability to form complete sentences has also helped with his appalling record on law and order issues. The lieutenant governor wants to...

During his short press conference Thursday, Attorney General Merrick Garland gave no real inclination as to the severity of the actual documents being sought by the Department of Justice in former president Donald Trump’s home at Mar-a-Lago.All we’d known up until Thursday night is that the documents were related to the Presidential Records Act of the 1970s, and that the National Archives were demanding the remaining documents still in Trump’s possession. The raid happened despite the fact that Trump’s lawyers had been cooperating with federal agents in the months prior.However, a new report from the Washington Post strongly indicates that...

This is likely to have an even greater effect than Bill Kristol’s endorsement of Terry McAuliffe. Rep. Liz Cheney, apparently a biologist, says that real men (not trans men?) put country over party and wear “I’m for Liz Cheney” T-shirts. One of those real men is actor and director Kevin Costner.

The United States federal bodies responsible for the nation’s healthcare policies keep turning a blind eye to the devastating number of deaths and injuries associated with experimental gene therapeutics against Covid, aka Covid vaccines. All severe reactions to the shots are proclaimed “rare.” Steve Kirsch, California tech entrepreneur and founder of the Vaccine Safety Research Foundation (VSRF), has estimated that the shots have left as many as five million Americans unable to work, 30 million injured, and more than 750,000 dead, as of June 24, 2022.According to the latest survey conducted by Pollfish on behalf of the VSRF, vaccines are...

Since around the middle of May 2022, you will have most likely heard or seen the word Monkeypox mentioned numerous times in the mainstream media. Allegedly, for the first time since its discovery among humans in Africa over 50 years ago, the monkeypox virus is circulating throughout several countries including the USA, UK, Canada, Brazil, Australia and most of Europe all at the same time. But it just so happens that every single country where monkeypox is allegedly circulating is also a country that has distributed the Pfizer Covid-19 injection to its population; excluding some countries in Africa where the...

Pennsylvania Republican Senate candidate Kathy Barnette addressed several recent controversies over her record on Sunday, as she continues to surge in the polls ahead of Tuesday’s primary. Speaking with host Shannon Bream on “Fox News Sunday,” Barnette responded to criticisms about parts of her past that have come under fire in recent days, including questions about her military service record and insensitive tweets she had made in the past. She also blasted her primary opponents for raising controversy, claiming that they were “mad” because of her recent rise. “So I want to give you a chance to answer some of...

@Kathy4Truth We’re getting this on the air all over Pennsylvania for the last two days of this race. Help us to WIN by chipping in to our campaign right now: Ad...

MEYERSDALE, Pennsylvania — Unless either Dr. Mehmet Oz or David McCormick pulls out a miracle between today and Tuesday evening, just over 20% of the Republican primary electorate is going to nominate Kathy Barnette for U.S. Senate. This would mark the first time in modern Pennsylvania Republican primary history that such a complete unknown wins with no statewide infrastructure to support her candidacy, zero money, and little scrutiny. If she succeeds, she will have upended a race between two capable candidates who, up until a week ago, seemed to be locked in a two-man contest. This would also mark the...
