Something intriguing is happening with bitcoin. What started as a series of perplexing data “inscriptions” containing classified files from the U.S. government has now been confirmed by Bitcoin Magazine as an ongoing effort to cement information in the public record beyond the reach of government censorship. An anonymous guardian of free speech has begun using bitcoin to republish all of the information originally published by Julian Assange’s WikiLeaks back in 2010. Codenamed “Project Spartacus,” the operation seeks to take advantage of several inherent bitcoin attributes: (1) It utilizes bitcoin’s Ordinals protocol that allows users to add personalized data to units...

A trio of senators plan to introduce legislation on Thursday that will require residents to acquire a Department of Justice (DOJ) license before purchasing or obtaining a legal firearm. The bill would also raise the legal age for obtaining a firearm to 21 years old. The bill was introduced by Sens. Cory Booker (D-N.J.), Bob Menendez (D-N.J.), and Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.). It has virtually no chance of becoming law given GOP opposition, but gives a sense of the breadth of restrictions on gun access that some lawmakers would favor imposing in the wake of years of mass shootings in the...

Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) said Tuesday on ABC’s “The View” that some Republican senators lacked decency and respect during the confirmation hearing of Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson. Co-host Sunny Hostin said, “You later said to CNN’s Dana Bash you didn’t think racism was involved in the questioning she received. She was repeatedly interrupted. Her credibility was questioned. She was asked about hidden agendas. Senator Cruz asked her about Critical Race Theory. I believe it was Senator Kennedy who said she was articulate. Is it still your view that race had nothing to do with the way she was...

Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., brought Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson to tears Wednesday with an impassioned speech hearkening to the plight of Black Americans and the efforts of their forebears that led Booker and Jackson to be sitting together in the same Senate hearing room. “It’s hard for me not to look at you and not see my mom. Not to see my cousins, one of them who had to come here and sit behind you. She had to have your back. I see my ancestors and yours,” Booker said. “But don’t worry, my sister. Don’t worry. God has...

When asked if President Joe Biden will secure the southern border, Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) said: “Yes.” At the U.S. Capitol on Thursday, CNSNews.com asked the senator: “Will President Biden secure the southern border?” Booker replied, “Will President Biden secure the southern border? Yes!” In a follow-up question, CNSNews.com asked, “Do you know if he’s making any efforts to do so now?” Booker, who serves on the Senate Judiciary and Foreign Relations committees, responded, “Again, you can look at the news and see what he’s doing. That’s a question you might want to ask him.” In the first week of...

This is an anonymously posted document by someone who calls themselves Spartacus. Because it’s anonymous, I can’t contact them to ask for permission to publish. So I hesitated for a while, but it’s simply the best document I’ve seen on Covid, vaccines, etc. Whoever Spartacus is, they have a very elaborate knowledge in “the field”. If you want to know a lot more about the no. 1 issue in the world today, read it. And don’t worry if you don’t understand every single word, neither do I. But I learned a lot.

The proposals come after shootings again made headlines across the country, including in Colorado and Georgia, and after President Joe Biden ordered a series of gun control measures.New Jersey Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy on Thursday called for a dozen new gun control measures, a sweeping election-year agenda aimed at tightening laws already considered among the toughest in the nation. Murphy unveiled the measures in Newark, the state’s largest city, during a more than an hourlong, rally-like event in a crowded community center. The Democrat-led Legislature will weigh in on most of the measures, and in a sign of legislative support,...

Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) called President Donald Trump a “bully,” adding that was “about to get knocked out” in the November election by the Biden-Harris ticket. Anchor Jake Tapper asked, “So let me ask you, President Trump and his campaign have been floating this false, completely false notion that Senator Harris, who was born in Oakland, California, in 1964, and is an American, may not be eligible to be vice president. Were you surprised when they started to do that?”

Friday, Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) weighed in on a poll showing 74% of Americans see George Floyd’s death while in Minneapolis police custody as a sign of a broader problem in the country. Booker said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that black Americans have a “consciousness” that they “do not yet have equality under the law.” “By the time we witnessed that Rodney King verdict where somebody was so viciously, savagely beaten, I just remember just losing it. I was in the streets marching peacefully and felt such anger,” Booker recalled. “And the challenge is if I pulled out that column...

Sen. Cory Booker. D-N.J., announced Monday he is dropping out of the Democratic presidential race. With his departure, former Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick is now the only black candidate remaining in the 12-candidate Democratic primary.

Let’s have some fun!

There is plenty of corruption in American politics to blow whistles at. ...We are encircled by hypocrisy and mendacity. The despicable deceit, the false posturing, the public lying for personal gain. Is Nancy Pelosi really motivated by a desire to protect our nation — or by a never-satiated need for holding on to personal power at whatever cost may be imposed on all of us? Is Congress’s primary role really to conduct non-stop all-consuming investigations of our duly elected government leaders, paralyzing their agencies and executive operations while abandoning all legislative responsibilities to the Obama Judges who predominate in the...

According to his own deadline, the New Jersey senator Cory Booker has less than two days to save his presidential campaign. On Sunday he said an “avalanche of support” had brought him close to a self-imposed fundraising goal, but admitted he could be out of the race by Tuesday.

Don’t drink the water in Newark. The only thing worse than the crime and corruption in the New Jersey city that gave the nation Cory Booker is its drinking water. First, they found lead in the water in schools and then in people’s homes. In some homes the lead content in the water is four times higher than the federal limit. And Cory Booker, the Senator from New Jersey, running to run the country, is blaming racism. "Newark's water emergency demands our federal government's immediate attention. Everyone deserves clean, safe water - it's shameful that our national crisis of lead-contaminated...

Sen. Cory Booker wants Democrats to go bolder on guns — and says they’re playing into the hands of the National Rifle Association and the corporate gun lobby by rejecting bolder ideas. “For Democrats to play into the hands of the corporate gun lobby, and just letting them define what the realm of possible is, it’s so defeatist to me,” the New Jersey senator told me during an interview this week. “At a time with the levels of carnage in our country, we don’t need people who are defeatist in their thinking about what’s possible.” Booker, who is running for...

PELHAM, New Hampshire — Cory Booker took a veiled dig at Democratic presidential candidates such as Joe Biden on Saturday, who err on the side of pragmatism. "There's one word I can't stand: it's 'realistically.' And the reason why I can't stand is because I was the mayor of a city that had decades of crime and corruption as its reputation," the New Jersey senator and former Newark mayor told voters in Pelham, New Hampshire, a Republican-heavy town in the Granite State. Booker then detoured into steps he took as chief executive of the state capital from 2006 to 2013...

Sen. Cory Booker is alone at the Democratic presidential debate in calling it a “mistake” to sign onto the 2015 nuclear accord with Iran. The New Jersey senator was the only one of the 10 candidates on stage in Miami on Wednesday not to raise his hand when asked if he supported the deal. […] Pressed to explain his rationale, Booker said as president he would “do the best I can to secure this country.” …

Four Democrats vying for their party’s presidential nomination honed in on the economic concerns of the black community during a forum Saturday in South Carolina, a state where nonwhite voters will play a major role in next year’s primary election. Appearing on stage one at a time, Sens. Cory Booker of New Jersey and Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, Mayor Pete Buttigieg of South Bend, Indiana, and former Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke all stressed the need to increase access to capital for black business owners as part of a broader effort to address wealth inequality. Warren expounded on what she’s called...

One of the Democrats running for president is a youthful former Rhodes Scholar who speaks more than one language and cut his teeth as a two-term mayor. The other is Pete Buttigieg. Buttigieg’s sparkling resume has been the subject of countless profiles, powering the South Bend mayor to the top tier of the 2020 field. Sen. Cory Booker, however, hasn’t received nearly as much attention and remains mired in the middle of the pack in recent polls.
