An elderly dementia patient was paralyzed and died six months later after he was body-slammed into an ER floor by police, in a horrifying moment caught on film. Military vet Carl Grant, 68, had been taken to UAB Hospital in Birmingham, Alabama, in February 2020 after trying to enter a house he wrongly thought was his. Policeman Vincent Larry pushed him down the stairs of the house's porch and took him to the hospital for gashes on his forehead from the fall. Then, after he had been treated, Grant, a US Marine Corps Veteran, wanted to leave and refused when...

The contentious music video for Jason Aldean's "Try That in a Small Town" was slightly changed as it continues to climb the charts and draw criticism. Did the singer finally cave in to pressure and the immense cancel culture? The music video is currently six seconds shorter than when it was first uploaded on July 14, according to The Washington Post, which published this information on Tuesday, July 25. The initial video appears to have been edited to exclude news footage from Fox 5 Atlanta showing Black Lives Matter marches and protests in 2020. In the initial version of the...

Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, SpaceX, and now Twitter, has said he would support Ron DeSantis in a 2024 presidential primary, although it is still unclear if the Florida governor intends to run. Asked on Twitter, the platform he now owns, if he would support DeSantis in 2024, Musk responded in the affirmative, while stressing that platform should be “fair to all.”

WASHINGTON — Former President Donald J. Trump responded on Friday to a promised subpoena from the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 assault with a lengthy, rambling letter that attacked the panel’s work, reiterated false claims of widespread voting fraud and presaged a potentially bruising battle over whether he would be compelled to testify about his role in the riot and his efforts to subvert the 2020 election. In a 14-page missive that did not address whether he would comply with the subpoena, Mr. Trump perpetuated the same lies that had fueled the attack and boasted about the size of...

Donald Trump, who said two weeks ago "the temperature has to be brought down" in this country, is raising it to heights that would burst the thermometer. He’s gone on what we would call an angry tweetstorm, if he was still on Twitter, pumping out three dozen postings and repostings on his far smaller Truth Social app. Then Trump drops the hammer: "REMEDY: Declare the rightful winner, or, and this would be the minimal solution, declare the 2020 Election irreparably compromised and have a new Election, immediately!"

arc Lamont Hill @marclamonthill · Sep 30, 2021 After my successful Achilles surgery on Friday, I was rushed to the ER on Saturday after suffering a mild heart attack. Over the previous two weeks, I had DVT (deep vein thrombosis), which was caused by my Achilles rupture. This is an extremely common outcome for such injuries.

On Tuesday, Lindell advised his fans that they would have to wait until the end of November for Trump's reinstatement. "This is the big announcement, everyone," Lindell told Real America's Voice host Steve Bannon. "I made a promise to this country that with all the evidence I have that we would get it to the Supreme Court and I predicted they would vote 9-0 to look at the evidence." "Originally I had hoped for August and September," he continued. "I asked all the lawyers just yesterday. We are taking this case to the Supreme Court before Thanksgiving. Now maybe Fox...

The question is not whether Joe Biden won or lost, it’s what’s the cost if the left doesn’t get their way which is what too many cowards are truly afraid of. They will sacrifice the future of our republic just to “keep the peace.”This video of court justices in Texas proves that. They fought loudly over whether to hear the Texas election fraud case out of fear the inevitable results would lead to leftist riots. Essentially, they are admitting Trump won by their outrage and fear of proving Biden is not the rightful victor.SCOTUS.⚖️"I don't give a #@&^ about 'Bush...

Country music legend Dolly Parton spoke out in support of the Black Lives Matter movement during a recent interview with Billboard magazine. In an article published this week, Parton, 74, said that while she hasn't participated in the protests sparked by the deadly police shooting of Minneapolis man George Floyd, she supports demonstrators' right "to make themselves known and felt and seen." "And of course Black lives matter," she told the magazine. "Do we think our little white [expletive] are the only ones that matter? No." Parton added that she's "not a judgmental person" and believes that "we all have...

President Trump on Tuesday stepped up his attacks against wind power, claiming that the structures decrease property values and that the noise they emit causes cancer. “If you have a windmill anywhere near your house, congratulations, your house just went down 75 percent in value. And they say the noise causes cancer,” the president said while delivering remarks at the National Republican Congressional Committee's annual spring dinner. He offered no evidence to support the claim...

During a Fox News debate, Senator Ted Cruz was asked a direct question by Megyn Kelly about why didn’t Senator Jeff Sessions endorse him. Cruz artfully avoided answering and instead deflecting his response to falsely accuse Donald Trump of sending Hillary Clinton four campaign contributions in 2008. Senator Cruz never answered the question. So why doesn’t Senator Jeff Sessions support Ted Cruz? The answer is within this video:

Just when you thought the loony tornado of garbage surrounding the death of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia had reached peak weirdness, along comes Glenn Beck to take it to eleven. Calling in to his own radio program Tuesday, Beck began by casually riffing about how God sent Hurricane Sandy mainly to screw Mitt Romney, but then moved on to his theory that Our Lord and Savior has taken Scalia off the board so Ted Cruz can get elected: After I got past the "thank you (to God)" I thought "You're welcome.I just woke the American people up. I took...

Former Rep. Ron Paul is lashing out at Ted Cruz, calling the GOP presidential contender too close to Wall Street. "People are liking Cruz. They think he's for the free market, and he's owned by Goldman Sachs," the former Texas lawmaker said on Fox Business Network's "Varney & Company," according to Politico. "I mean, he and [Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton] have more in common than we would have with either Cruz or [Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump] or any of them so I just don't think there is much picking," Paul added.

President Bush for the first time endorsed a specific plan for raising the federal minimum wage yesterday, as he embraced Democratic calls to boost it by $2.10, to $7.25 an hour, over two years. The president's backing greatly enhances the prospects for congressional approval next year of the first hike in the federal minimum wage since 1997. He stressed, however, that it should be accompanied by tax breaks and regulatory relief that would cushion the blow for small businesses. "I believe we should do it in a way that does not punish the millions of small businesses that are creating...

A chimpanzee at a zoo in Urumqi, capital of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, is trying to stop smoking. The chimp, which used to perform in a circus, had previously been smoking up to 15 cigarettes a day. Zookeepers said that the animal would get very uneasy if it didn't get its daily fix of nicotine. They have been giving it beer in a bid to stop it smoking. The chimp is now on less than four cigarettes a day.
