The New York Giants’ Deandre Baker and Seattle Seahawks’ Quinton Dunbar are each facing four counts of armed robbery with a firearm, while Baker is facing an additional four counts of aggravated assault with a firearm, after the two allegedly robbed guests at a party in Miramar, Florida, the Miramar police department said on Thursday.

A CNN poll published Wednesday shows President Trump with a seven-point lead over Joe Biden in several battleground states – but the network was accused of burying its own findings. A review of transcripts found that only one CNN program on Wednesday mentioned the poll of registered voters that indicating 52 percent favor Trump, as opposed to 45 percent for Biden, in key battleground states.

You may recall the mother on the playground who was arrested a few weeks ago. That’s just one case where the police overstepped their authority and implemented the so-called Gestapo tactics. A New York City woman was handcuffed and taken to the ground in a video captured by an onlooker as NYPD cops accused her of not wearing a mask during the COVID-19 pandemic. As the struggle ensues, the woman’s child looks scared. We’ve seen similar situations in videos from world war two where children were forced to leave their parents. The encounter took place Wednesday at the Atlantic Avenue-Barclays...

On 4 May, a small restaurant in Alberta, Canada was using a person with a Star Wars stormtrooper costume as a promotion.  The Coco Vanilla Galactic Cantina is located at 531 13th St. North, in Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada. The promotion was on the unofficial Star Wars Day, “May the 4th be With You”. The police in Lethbridge decided to do their own interpretation of stormtroopers. The 19-year-old woman who was employed by the Cantina as a draw was assaulted by the police at gunpoint for having the temerity to wear her Storm Trooper costume with a plastic blaster.  Most of...

The judge told Shelley Luther she didn’t have to go to jail. The owner of Salon À la Mode in Dallas had been operating her business despite a temporary restraining order last week from Dallas County State District Judge Eric Moyé. She kept operating despite a county official’s cease-and-desist letter ordering her to close — a letter she ripped up before a crowd of protesters in a theatrical display of defiance during an Open Texas rally in Frisco, Tex., on April 25. “Come and get it, Judge Clay Jenkins,” she said, referencing the top county official as she threw shreds...

It doesn’t come as a shock but it is ridiculous in the extreme. A Dallas County Texas salon owner has been sentenced to a week in jail for defying the order to keep her business closed. “I couldn’t feed my family and my stylists couldn’t feed their families” Ms. Shelly Luther testified. The court didn’t care. The stakes are escalating daily as economic desperation takes over and the oppressive hand of the authoritarian government officials refuse to loosen their grip on their new found power over the population. Confrontation is likely to get much worse quickly. TEXAS – A Dallas...

The scientist whose advice led to Boris Johnson putting Britain into lockdown has resigned from his government advisory position after he broke social distancing rules to meet his married lover. Professor Neil Ferguson, 51, allowed the woman to visit him at home during the lockdown while lecturing the public on the need for strict social distancing to halt the spread of coronavirus. Antonia Staats, 38, lives with her husband and their children in a £1.9 million ($3.68 million) house, UK's Daily Telegraph reported. Prof Ferguson leads the team at Imperial College London that handed a bombshell piece of research to...

British epidemiologist Neil Ferguson, who helped create the U.K.’s coronavirus lockdown strategy, resigned from his position at the government on Tuesday after violating social distancing guidelines. The story: Ferguson reportedly had visits at his home from his married lover during the lockdown, despite repeatedly advising the public about the importance of social distancing. Ferguson has frequently appeared on TV where he supported the lockdown and praised the “very intensive social distancing” measures. Ferguson’s lover, Antonia Staats, made at least two visits to his home in London since the lockdown measures were imposed, on 30 March and 8 April, the Telegraph...

We picked up a virus from China, as everyone knows. But that may not be the only “virus” we have absorbed from them. As we’ve previously reported, we also have some cities across the country employing Chinese drones to spy on people who may not be social distancing. Should we even ask what the Chinese get out of that “donation” to our police forces? But that’s not all. Have we also picked up their “snitch culture” in the process? In China, in every apartment building and in every block, there’s always at least one person who is the local Communist...

In August 2019, the New York Times debuted the 1619 Project, the brainchild of Nikole Hannah-Jones, a Times staff writer. The premise was that 1619 marked the year in which the first African slaves came to America, permanently corrupting America’s founding. The 1619 Project was condemned for serious historical inaccuracies.* In her inaugural article -- “Our democracy’s founding ideals were false when they were written. Black Americans have fought to make them true” -- Hannah-Jones gave readers a foretaste of the errors that would follow in subsequent articles. Nevertheless, the Pulitzer committee awarded her its commentary award. Most strikingly, Hannah-Jones...

A Kansas City phased reopening guideline requiring churches to keep “lists” of attendees, has alarmed many who see it as an infringement on religious liberty and privacy.In the policy issued by Mayor Quinton Lucas, houses of worship are treated with the same restrictions as “non-essential” businesses in terms of keeping records of who attends a service, or even anyone who enters the building.“Never in our wildest dreams could we have imagined Nazi-like measures designed to surveil, track and spy upon what was once a FREE American people,” Liberty Counsel founder Mat Staver said. “Yet that is exactly what Kansas City’s misguided government...

snip "No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of President more than once," the 22nd Amendment says. "The operative word here might be 'elected,'" MacKinnon wrote. "If Obama were selected as Clinton’s running mate, and she had to leave office for any reason, then Obama would succeed her. At least one constitutional expert is on record saying...

President Trump signed an executive order Friday barring U.S. purchases of certain foreign-produced power equipment, a move meant to reduce national security risks to the electricity system. “It is imperative the bulk-power system be secured against exploitation and attacks by foreign threats,” Energy Secretary Dan Brouillette said in a statement. The order “will greatly diminish the ability of foreign adversaries to target our critical electric infrastructure.” Examples of bulk-power system equipment include substations, control rooms, substation transformers, and generators that are necessary to operate the interconnected electricity grid and maintain reliable generation, according to the order. The order prohibits any...

Former U.S. Senator Chris Dodd, who is linked to corporate bailouts, lobbying for Hollywood, and alleged sexual assault of a waitress at a restaurant, is among seven individuals appointed to Joe Biden’s Vice Presidential selection task force. Dodd, the 75-year-old from Connecticut, will be joined by Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester, D-Del., and former Biden counsel Cynthia Hogan. Three other appointees will work specifically on vetting chosen candidates; Bob Bauer, husband to former Obama Communications Director Anita Dunn, Obama homeland security advisor Lisa Monaco, and law professor Dana Remus. Dodd also chaired the Senate Banking Committee...

VIDEO Look in the ARCHIVES! And only in the ARCHIVES!!! Joe Biden stuck to the script that all records should be searched only in the National Archives. When Mika Brzezinski asked him about looking elsewhere, it was obvious that Biden was not programmed to give the answer and his systems overloaded as his candidacy crashed and burned on Morning Joe.

Dr. Anthony Fauci is an adviser to President Donald Trump and something of an American folk hero for his steady, calm leadership during the pandemic crisis. At least one poll shows that Americans trust Fauci more than Trump on the coronavirus pandemic—and few scientists are portrayed on TV by Brad Pitt...

Well, Bill de Blasio, you certainly showed us Jews, didn’t you, on Tuesday night? Yep, you called us out, all 1.2 million of us New York City Jews, and I really hope you enjoyed it. Because I know it’s not fun being mayor right now. There’s a pandemic, and no one is praising you for your leadership. You humiliated yourself with your ludicrous run for president last year, and every time you open your mouth now, Andrew Cuomo runs over and drops a stick of dynamite in it to remind you who’s boss.
