The Wall Street Journal published an interactive Biden family tree map on Friday, highlighting the alleged influence peddling scheme of “how Joe Biden’s kin profited off the family name” with the use of the “big guy” alias. Frank Biden, President Joe Biden’s youngest brother, was “hired by the Illinois-based industrial manufacturing firm Federal Signal Corp. to help connect the company with Florida lawmakers,” the Journal reported. “During a weekly call, Frank Biden, 69 years old, would frequently interrupt the meeting and say he had to take a call from ‘the Big Guy,’ as he put it.”

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) on Thursday trolled Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) with a reference to the gangster film “Goodfellas” as the Republican lost out in eight consecutive votes for Speaker of the House. With the caption “Kevin McCarthy walking into the new Congress with a fresh majority,” Omar shared a screengrab from the film, in which the violent character played by Joe Pesci dresses up and eagerly heads to what he’s led to believe is his initiation into the Mafia. Pesci’s Tommy DeVito appears to realize the deception when he sets eyes on the empty room he’s been guided to,...

OPINION AND EDITORIAL Trump’s Statement On FBI Raid At His Mar-A-Lago Home Opinion August 8, 2022 Statement by Former President Trump These are dark times for our Nation, as my beautiful home, Mar-A-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, is currently under siege, raided, and occupied by a large group of FBI agents. Nothing like this has ever happened to a President of the United States before. After working and cooperating with the relevant Government agencies, this unannounced raid on my home was not necessary or appropriate. It is prosecutorial misconduct, the weaponization of the Justice System, and an attack by Radical...

STATEMENT BY PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP (snip) The January 6th Unselect Committee is disgracing everything we hold sacred about our Constitution. If they had any real evidence, they’d hold real hearings with equal representation. They don’t, so they use the illegally-constituted committee to put on a smoke and mirrors show for the American people, in a pitiful last-ditch effort to deceive the American public…again. Our Constitution protects the right to confront accusers, honors the right to fair trials, and holds the right to legal representation as paramount in our justice system. Equal representation and the opportunity to offer rebuttal evidence...

People's opinions about Facebook are a mixed bag. For some, the social media site is an essential tool for keeping in touch with friends and family around the globe, interacting with common-interest groups and getting news. But others see Facebook in terms of privacy violations, political brawling, damaging misinformation and other content that could be harmful to teens. Now known as Meta, Facebook, as a company, has a new name but the same old problems. Whether you want to cancel your account for a clean slate in 2022 or any other reason, we'll tell you below what steps to follow....

Guns are deeply rooted within American culture; however, different subcultures exist along the urban-rural divide. Such differences between urban and rural communities related to gun culture have been dubbed “firearm localism.”

Many of the greatest horrors of the history of humanity owe their occurrence solely to the establishment and social enforcement of a false reality. With gratitude to the Catholic philosopher Josef Pieper and his important 1970 essay “Abuse of Language, Abuse of Power” for the term and idea, we can refer to these alternative realities as ideological pseudo-realities. Pseudo-realities, being false and unreal, will always generate tragedy and evil on a scale that is at least proportional to the reach of their grip on power—which is their chief interest—whether social, cultural, economic, political, or (particularly) a combination of several or...

Former professional WWE start Gabbi Tuft has come out as a Transgender after he retired from wrestling since 2014. Tuft, 42, who is best known for her time with WWE under the ring name Tyler Reks made the announcement via Instagram on Thursday. “The ball dropped early today as this is now worldwide news.

Microsoft’s bid to purchase TikTok’s US operations was rejected, the company announced Sunday, with Oracle reportedly winning the bid to help run the popular social media app in the states. The deal between Tiktok’s Beijing-based owner ByteDance and Oracle is not believed to be structured as an outright sale, a source told The Wall Street Journal. Instead, the software giant is set to be the app’s “trusted tech partner,” in the US, the report said.

Today marks 8 years since Jordan Davis, a 17-year-old high school student was murdered by Michael David Dunn, a 45-year-old software developer, following an argument over loud music played by Davis and his three friends. Dunn shot and killed Jordan on November 23, 2012, at a Gate Petroleum gas station in Jacksonville, Florida. Jordan’s mother, Lucy McBath, 60, who is currently serving as the U.S. Representative for Georgia’s 6th congressional district, has taken to twitter on Monday to write a heartbreaking note in remembrance of her son and to other mothers who lost their children in the cause of gun...

On Tuesday, Chinese virologist Dr. Li-Meng Yan, told Tucker Carlson of Fox News that the coronavirus was “created in the lab” and “intentionally” released by the Chinese Communist Party to “make damage” around the world. That revelation bears stark contrast to Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and a member of the White House coronavirus task force. Back in May, Fauci went on record that the coronavirus “could not have been artificially or deliberately manipulated — the way the mutations have naturally evolved.” Dr. Fauci was quite sure of himself, even though...

I stumbled upon this and wondered, why World Integrated Solutions takes one to World Bank Organisation's. The page opens to a list of countries that have either received or have ordered Covid19 tests in 2017!!! Can someone explain this? I posted to my FB and the link no longer works going through them...suprize, suprize.

Thank you to the FReeper who sent me these links and asked me to post about the "bipartisan" Transition Integrity Project's [TIP] work. There is never any integrity or bipartisanship in a group of 100 people that includes John Podesta and Donna Brazile.TIP claims to have banded together out of "concern" that the RNC/Trump would steal the election. The group is composed of "of over 100 current and former senior government and campaign leaders, academics, journalists, polling experts and former federal and state government officials." Wonder if Comey, Brennan, and Rosenstein are part of the group? What Podesta and Brazile...

Due to corporate mediaÂ’s hatred of Donald Trump, Americans are sorely uninformed about news stories that, under any other presidency, would deservedly flood coverage. When Donald Trump entered the political arena some five years ago, reporters floundered for a way to cover his candidacy. Then, sensing a ratings boom from the chaos the businessman and former reality TV star injected into the primary, the left-leaning press quickly converted to covering all things Trump, benefitting both their bottom line and their sense of schadenfreude.Following TrumpÂ’s surprise election in 2016, the press faced a different challenge: How to cover a president they...

A woman named Lizz Adams from Los Angeles, CA, sparked a debate about dating short and tall guys when she posted a photo of her “king” of a husband who is just 5’5” (165 cm), while she towers over him in the pic. However, she and her husband were of the opinion that tall guys are simply bad people. She wrote in here tweet: Happily married to my 5’5” king for 8 years while y’all are getting ghosted by 6’2” alcoholics with 7th grade reading levels but go off about how you only date tall men I guess. A lot...

A starved, emaciated lurcher was found by Animal Welfare officers in Blythe, Northumberland. The pup was callously dropped on the street where it was found and had apparently been left for dead. The condition of the poor pooch was appalling: almost literally skin and bones, dried out and an easily-visible ribcage, nearly no hair, and weighing 24 lbs (10,88 kgs), which is half the weight she should weigh. The dog which was named Tiggy by Berwick Animal Rescue Kennels (B-A-R-K for short), who took her in and took care of her, might as well been called Twiggy at the time....

A huge Humpback whale was captured on camera jumping out of the sea and narrowly missing a fishing boat. From time to time, nature shows itself in full splendor to remind us how small we really are. Recently, a picture was captured in the Californian waters, Monterey Bay, which left viewers with goosebumps. The footage shows a giant humpback whale shooting out of the water to the sky, and the scene is incredibly amazing. Luckily, someone was close enough to capture the video of this breath-taking moment, which seemed like a planned action scene in a movie.
