He also faces charges of recklessly endangering the safety of two other victims and possessing...

They seem to be happy about this so-called “insurrection.”

The David Chase-created mafia flick was later rescheduled for this spring due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

    CNN anchor Don Lemon said Wednesday night on his show that Americans who voted for President Donald Trump were on the side of “the Klan” and “Nazis.” Lemon said, “We’ve got to get down to the nitty-gritty of what this is. And it is about what I said, and I standby it, preserving whiteness in the worst possible way. If you find yourself, Chris, in a crowd and the person next to you is carrying a Confederate battle flag or the person next to you has on a neo-Nazi symbol of some type or has on a ‘Camp Auschwitz’ then...

    We are frighteningly headed to playing out a real life scenario of the classic Star Trek episode when Kirk and company fall into the middle of a war between the Yangs and the Coms. It is uncanny how today's events are mirroring the takeover of the United States by communist infiltration. We conservatives who actually study history know full well what the communist and Nazi regimes did to acquire power. It all starts with the media and control over the information medium. I will never forget the only thing I remember from my "Introduction to Mass Media" class in college....

    Chinese Communist Party leader Xi Jinping signed Central Military Commission Order No. 1, to "implement Xi Jinping's thinking on strengthening the military," "focus on war preparedness," make better use of advanced technologies in training and weapons systems, and improve joint training and operations among the People's Liberation Army's military branches. One of Xi's greatest concerns is preventing the independence of Taiwan and ensuring that United States support for Taiwan be militarily challenged by constant People's Liberation Army (PLA) readiness. It is worth noting that in the mobilization order for training issued on January 2, 2020, Xi Jinping stressed that the...

    Amazon, Apple, and Google have all acted to shut Parler down supposedly because it hosts calls for violence, but a simple search of Twitter shows that it regularly allows such calls itself.Twitter hosts a #KillTrump hashtag. In all of the glorious English language there is no clearer, plainer, or shorter way to call for violence than the word kill followed by someone’s name. But there it is. One of these tweets reads “#ArrestTrump not enough #KillTrump.” And this isn’t new, back in June the hashtag #AssassinateTrump was bouncing around the website with gems like “Someone take this clown out NOW.”...
