A crew member working for “Law & Order: Organized Crime’’ was fatally gunned down at the TV show’s Brooklyn set early Tuesday — in a shooting that could have been pulled straight out of the script, authorities said. The victim, a 31-year-old married dad of three, was sitting in the driver’s seat of a vehicle on N Henry Street near Norman Avenue in Greenpoint around 5:15 a.m. when another man suddenly opened the driver’s side door and blasted him, officials said. “It was crazy,’’ said a distraught colleague of the victim, who worked for NBC parking vehicles at the show’s...

America is reeling again at the news of yet another mass shooting, this time resulting in 10 people dead and 3 injured. In particular, the Black American community is reeling, since they were the particular targets of a depraved White teenager, allegedly a self-professed White-supremacist. How can such a thing happen in this day and age? Innocent Black Americans having their blood spilled by an evil White man? Yet the evil in this young man’s heart goes deeper still. It was not just Black Americans he targeted for murder. He was a Jew-hater as well, actually calling for Gentile Americans...

"I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."Justice in a free country is an important concept. Around the globe, there are countries that still carry-on atrocities to this day – China being one of them with Uyghur concentration camps – and there is no punishment brought down on the ones responsible. In America, when we think about justice, we think about an individual who commits a crime and is later arrested by the authorities. Eventually, they go...

The media claims...

It’s no shock these days that when liberals and leftists don’t get their way, they ignore facts, shrug off civilized debate, and revel like spoiled children in hyperbole, intimidation, threats of violence, and actual violence. Given how dangerous this stuff is, they’ve ignored history, too. “Men have been barbarians much longer than they have been civilized,” wrote journalist Walter Lippman in The Public Philosophy (1955). “They are only precariously civilized, and with us there is the propensity, persistence as the force of gravity, to revert under stress and strain, under neglect or temptation, to our first natures.” Democrats have butchered...

A 38,000 trucker convoy is heading to Washington, DC, from Los Angeles to protest pandemic mandates just in time for President Joe Biden’s State of the Union Address on March 1. Kyle Sefcik, organizer and leader of the Freedom Convoy USA 2022, told WUSA CBS 9 that he is scheduled to leave Los Angeles on Friday and drive to D.C. The peaceful convoy will be composed of trucks and motorcycles and does not intend to gather at the Capitol. Instead, the convoy will protest near the White House and the National Mall with Christian bands and preachers.

The Lieberals won the vote. The 'Emergencies Act' passed 185-151. The communist NDP voted with the Lieberals. The ONLY chance is that the Senate votes it down. I don't know when that me be. Canada is dead. MARANATHA

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau insisted at a news conference on Monday that his government still needs the unprecedented emergency powers he demanded this month even though police violently removed the Freedom Convoy protesters from Ottawa and no active Freedom Convoy protests are currently occurring.

A month ago, it was a free country. Then, its little Mao felt threatened and, suddenly, the gloves are off and the rule of law is gone. One of the hallmarks of liberty is a reliable legal system. In totalitarian countries, one of the ways you control people is to keep them perpetually off-balance. The law and its application are utterly unpredictable. People become paralyzed and dare not do anything that might offend the regime, lest they get destroyed. And that’s what we’re seeing in Canada, where the newly dictatorial government is making no pretense of abiding by the rule...

A police force of hundreds has descended on the Freedom Convoy truckers in Ottawa, Canada, making arrests and towing away big rigs that have formed a three-week blockade protesting the country's vaccine mandates. Using Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's extraordinary powers under the Emergencies Act, police have established a 'no-go' zone around the demonstration in Ottawa's core, and on Friday morning a massive force of cops and a fleet of tow truck drivers began clearing out the Convoy's final stronghold. Citing the 'exceptional circumstances' of the police action, Canada's Parliament suspended Friday's debate on Trudeau's emergency powers The crackdown came after...

“We have officers from across the province and country here to help us; every person supporting this effort is proud to be here,” he (Steve Bell, Ottawa Interim Chief of Police) declared, suggesting that there is little hesitance among officers about enforcing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s emergency powers clampdown on protestors. [cut] Members of the press gave the police chief some mild pushback on his claim that his men have acted with restraint, with one asking “with respect, sir, can you explain what appears to be excessive force by police officers when a protestor is arrested; there is multiple videos...

Recently, Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau essentially called Melissa Lantsman, a conservative member of the Canadian Parliament, a swastika-waving Nazi. This wasn't just the usual disgusting and preposterously hysterical hyperbole employed by leftists. This was particularly egregious, as Lantsman is a descendant of Holocaust survivors. But in what passes for the mind of the prime minister, she had to be savaged because she dared to defend the truckers who are protesting his draconian mandates and increasingly brutal police-state actions. Trudeau said of his fellow public servants, "Conservative Party members can stand with people who wave swastikas; they can stand with...

@ezralevant My whole life I was Back The Blue. My whole life I was pro-cop. I was a master of giving them the benefit of the doubt, even for pretty obvious cases of police brutality. I simply cannot say I'm pro-police anymore. Not after watching these "just following orders" thugs. Video... ("LIVE IN OTTAWA: POLICE MOVING IN ON TRUCKERS CONVOY")

Heavy tow trucks and front loaders equipped with forklift arms began clearing trucks from Wellington Street just before 2 p.m. A group of several dozen protesters continued to face off with police at the corner of Bank and Wellington streets. But a major push by police had cleared the road in front of Parliament Hill. Tow trucks sat on Laurier Street near city hall earlier Saturday, their company logos covered or removed and some of their drivers wearing face coverings. Further south on O’Connor Street, Tom Hutar hurled abuse at a CBC reporter who was live on camera. “I’m just...

Too many cops are choosing the side that uses and abuses them. believe there are more instances of the abridgement of freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments by those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations. James Madison Without a doubt, being a police officer is one of the most difficult and dangerous job on the planet. One has to admire those who take on the job. The American left has made its contempt of our police abundantly clear for several years now. Encouraging the BLM riots, excusing the damage done, decreeing no punishment for those...

This is what Canadian liberals were celebrating today.

Turns out the lasting image of the Freedom Convoy protest at Parliament Hill will not be bouncy castles but that of a woman with a walker being trampled by a police horse. The violence the Prime Minister has expressed concern about during the three-week protest in Ottawa didn’t unfold until Justin Trudeau’s Emergencies Act police army was sent in to disperse the crowd.

A group of Canadian clergy sent an open letter to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau earlier this week rebuking him for invoking the Emergencies Act to quell the Freedom Convoy and for other actions they described as "tyrannical." "We are writing to you as representative pastors of Christian congregations from across the nation and as law-abiding citizens who respect the God-defined role of civil government and uphold the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, the highest law of our land, which recognizes the supremacy of God over all human legislation," read the letter, which was signed by 29 clergymen and...

Every year during the Super Bowl, numerous articles pop up online about human trafficking; I’ve even written about it. Of course, some say it is a myth, and some say it does happen. But, here is a hint, the naysayers are wrong. Trafficking is absolutely happening at the Super Bowl. But, it is also happening across the Nation every day of the week, not just this weekend. Anywhere there is a significant event like the Super Bowl, there is a flood of visitors. This flood of visitors brings those willing to pay for sex. So, it is not just the...

Video captured the moment Canadian police handcuffed a 4'10" 78-year-old great-grandfather during the Freedom Convoy for reportedly daring to honk his horn. What are the details? Video captured the moment an unnamed officer approached the man, who was sitting inside his vehicle on the side of the road. According to a report from the Toronto Sun, 78-year-old Gerry Charlebois was driving near the main Freedom Convoy protest in Ottawa when he saw a trucker. Charlebois said he honked his horn and showed the trucker the thumbs-up hand gesture out of respect for the ongoing protests.
