Minneapolis cops in riot gear last night fired rubber bullets and tear gas at thousands of defiant protesters who took to the streets to demand justice for George Floyd, the black man who died after a white officer was filmed kneeling on his neck during his arrest. Demonstrators carrying placards reading 'I can't breathe' and 'Justice 4 Floyd' surrounded a police precinct Tuesday night after the disturbing video of 46-year-old Floyd begging the cop to stop before falling unconscious was shared online.

Police have charged a 15-year-old with felony murder in connection with a deadly shooting at a Buckhead apartment complex. The teenage boy, whose name was not released, was arrested Saturday and remains in custody, Atlanta police said in a news release. His murder charge stems from the shooting death of 35-year-old Kevin Humes, who was gunned down outside the Tremont apartments off Habersham Road on May 16, AJC.com previously reported.

FBI investigators said the shooting incident at a Texas naval air station Thursday morning was a 'terror' attack and revealed that a second person of interest may be at-large. The gunman was first reported near the base around 6.15am when he tried to speed through a gate at the Naval Air Station Corpus Christi. Authorities said vehicle barriers stopped the car, but the man proceeded to open fire.

Leaked phone calls between Joe Biden and former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko explicitly detail the quid-pro-quo arrangement to fire former Ukrainian Prosecutor General Victor Shokin - who Poroshenko admits did nothing wrong - in exchange for $1 billion in US loan guarantees (which Biden openly bragged about in January, 2018).

Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., is a “proud” mother of three children, including 17-year-old daughter, Isra Hirsi, who apparently shares her mother’s radical left views. In a TikTok Live video clip shared by young conservative activist CJ Pearson, Isra appears to call a group of U.S. soldiers “b*tches” who are “actively killing innocent children abroad” while “furthering American imperialism.” “In this video, @israhirsi – the daughter of Congresswoman @IlhanMN – calls American soldiers ‘bitches’ and accuses them of ‘furthering American imperialism’ and ‘actively killing innocent children abroad.’ Where does she get these views from? I guess the apple doesn’t fall far!”...

NEW YORK — Following an investigation by ICE’s Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) New York with the New York City Police Department (NYPD) and the FBI, four complaints were unsealed Thursday in the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York, variously charging 10 members and associates of La Mara Salvatrucha, also known as MS-13, a transnational criminal organization, with murder in-aid-of racketeering, attempted murder, murder conspiracy, related firearms offenses and marijuana distribution conspiracy. This gang investigation was prompted by three murders, occurring on the street, at Kissena Park and on an elevated Subway Platform in Queens. One defendant...

WASHINGTON — President Trump has embarked on an aggressive new drive to rewrite the narrative of the Russia investigation by making dark and unsubstantiated accusations that former President Barack Obama masterminded a sinister plot to bring him down. On Twitter, on television, in the Rose Garden and even on an official White House social media page, Mr. Trump in recent days has taken aim at his most recent predecessor in a way that no sitting president has in modern times, accusing Mr. Obama of undefined and unspecified crimes under the vague but politically charged catchphrase “Obamagate.” The president went even...

A Pittsburgh radio station is again under scrutiny after one of its reporters called Department of Health Secretary Dr. Rachel Levine, a transgender woman, “sir” at least three times during a Tuesday press call. The incident happened while KDKA-AM personality Marty Griffin was asking a question about what the state’s “end game” is for reopening after the coronavirus, according to the Pennsylvania Capital-Star. A Pittsburgh City Paper transcript shows Griffin called Levine “sir” in both his initial question and follow-up, leading her to tell him “please don’t misgender me,” and that it was “really insulting.” Griffin later apologized on Twitter...

Former U.S. Attorney Brett Tolman thought he had "seen everything" over the course of his career until a federal judge opened the door Tuesday for legal experts and other outside parties to oppose the Justice Department’s motion to drop the case against former national security adviser Michael Flynn. Appearing on "Fox & Friends," Tolman said he believed Judge Emmet Sullivan's decision was "outrageous" and that the Washington D.C. judge had turned himself into an "activist," willing to set aside rules, ethics, and precedent in favor of partisanship. Although Sullivan did not directly address the Justice Department's motion to drop the...

BEAR, Del. - A second victim has succumbed to his injuries just days after a shooting took place in a cemetery in New Castle County. The shooting happened at the Delaware Veterans Memorial Cemetery located on Chesapeake City Road around 10:15 a.m. Friday. Delaware State Police say 85-year old Lidia Marino was pronounced deceased on scene. Her husband 86-year-old Paul C. Marino was taken to the hospital in critical condition, where he died on Saturday.

Former National Security Adviser Gen. Michael Flynn's lead attorney accused top officials of orchestrating a plot to frame her client, insisting that former President Barack Obama himself was in on it. Flynn had initially pleaded guilty to providing a false statement to the FBI regarding his contact with a Russian ambassador, but later changed his story and pushed back by questioning the FBI's tactics. "These agents specifically schemed and planned with each other how to not tip him off, that he was even the person being investigated," Powell told Fox News' "Sunday Morning Futures," pointing to evidence that FBI agents...

Occupied Chinook territory. In the earliest hours of the morning of April 23rd, multiple fare machines, surveillance cameras, ATMs, and luxury cars were attacked and sabotaged when an autonomous anarchist in so-called Portland fought back against State and capital in solidarity with the calls for action in celebration of May Day. Superglue and (not corrugated) cardboard were used to sabotage ATMs and fare machines and a small hand tool used to shatter their screens, along with the lenses of surveillance cameras and the windows of the cars that the capitalists use to flaunt their wealth in the face of those...

We reported earlier on the bombshell revelations showing documents that indicate the FBI was trying to set up Gen. Michael Flynn. The documents are shocking as they actually set out in writing whether their “goal” should be to set him up to arrest him or get him fired, “Truth/Admission or to get him to lie, so we can prosecute him or get him fired?” Now, Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) is pointing out a devastating segment that just ran on Martha MacCallum’s show on Fox, given now the evidence of it being a perjury trap to get Flynn. Elise Stefanik ✔...

A jury in Fresno, California, has found Kori Ali Muhammad, 42, guilty of murdering Zackary David Randalls, 34, Mark James Gassett, 37, and David Martin Jackson, 58, on April 18, 2017. A week before, Muhammad murdered Carl Williams, who was only 25. Muhammad encountered Williams at a Fresno Motel 6 and felt “disrespected,” so he killed the man, whom he did not know and had not previously met. When police sought him for the shooting, Muhammad planned to “kill as many white men” as he could before being caught. So he drove through downtown Fresno firing at his targets of...

Smiling while wearing a pair of Snapchat filter glasses, this is the widow of Boston bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev goofing around on social media. Katherine Russell poses with the nine-year-old daughter she had with the terrorist who was shot dead by police in the April 2013 attack, at the time, the worst on US soil since 9/11. Russell still wears a veil over her head suggesting she has not left the Muslim faith after converting to the religion when she married Tamerlan a decade ago. In another photo Russell, who goes by the name Karima, poses in a navy headscarf with...

Back in 2015, when Barack Obama was president, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) sent a $3.7 million grant to the Wuhan Institute of Virology, a lab that grew coronaviruses and injected them into animals. It is quite feasible that the novel coronavirus responsible for the COVID-19 global pandemic leaked from that lab, and U.S. Intelligence sources have been saying that the virus came from a Level-4 lab in Wuhan. During his coronavirus press conference on Friday, President Donald Trump pledged to stop the funding. "Why would the U.S. give a grant like that to China?" a reporter asked. "The...

Daniel Horowitz of Conservative Review made an interesting observation on March 16, 2020. He tweeted, “Nearly the entire outbreak in NY came from a traveler from Iran, a place that was supposed to have a travel ban, but thanks to lower courts continuing to militate against Scotus decision, it was rendered moot. “

Idle teenagers are participating in a “disturbing trend” of coughing on grocery store produce and posting their pranks online as the nation fights the coronavirus, which is known to spread from human “droplets” spraying from mouths. The latest incident occurred in the Washington exurb of Purcellville, Virginia, some 55 miles from the White House. According to a Purcellville Police Department report, “an incident occurred at a local grocery store involving juveniles reportedly coughing on produce, while filming themselves and posting it on social media.” The report said that the store, identified on social media as Harris Teeter, immediately removed the...

A man accused of killing four people in California told detectives in a recorded interview he was fed up with racism against black people and since he was suspected of killing of one white man he may as well kill more.

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) said on Capitol Hill Thursday that people should accept that American power comes from racism and that “our history is built on the oppression of black bodies.” “From slavery to Jim Crow to redlining to mass incarceration to voter suppression, racism is part of the foundation of American power,” Omar said at an panel discussion she hosted focused on “racial justice.” Omar began he remarks by quoting activist Angela Davis, who just happened to be among Time magazine’s 100 Women of the Year, published on Thursday. “In a racist society it is not enough to be...
