OAKLAND — Oakland Chinatown Chamber of Commerce President Carl Chan asked Gov. Gavin Newsom on Tuesday to deploy California Highway Patrol officers to the city’s troubled streets and declare a local state of emergency in an attempt to stem the rapidly rising tide of brazen robberies and violent assaults. (Snip) “The rash of shootings, carjacking, assaults and robberies hold the city of Oakland hostage,” said Chan. “Citizens are living in the continuous state of fear for our safety, well being, livelihoods and future.” Chan blamed the rise in violent crimes on the “defund the police” movement in part, but also

A powerful 7.2 magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of Haiti on Saturday, the U.S. Geological Survey said, and authorities reported multiple deaths. The U.S. Tsunami Warning System temporarily issued a tsunami warning after the quake, which was felt in neighboring countries. "I can confirm that there are deaths, but I don't yet have an exact toll," Jerry Chandler, Haiti's director of civil protection, told AFP. "We're still collecting information." The epicenter of the quake was 7.5 miles northeast of Saint-Louis du Sud, according to the USGS. "High casualties are probable and the disaster is likely widespread," the USGS said.
KABUL, Afghanistan -- The Taliban seized two more provinces on Saturday and approached the outskirts of Afghanistan's capital while also launching a multi-pronged assault on a major northern city defended by former warlords, Afghan officials said. The insurgents have captured much of northern, western and southern Afghanistan in a breakneck offensive less than three weeks before the United States is set to withdraw its last troops, raising fears of a full militant takeover or another Afghan civil war. The Taliban captured all of Logar province, just south of the capital, Kabul, and detained local officials, said Hoda Ahmadi, a lawmaker from
This week’s White House Report Card finds President Joe Biden spending another weekend out of Washington, where his domestic and foreign policies have been weathering political storms. He won an early fight on his infrastructure bill, but the Democrats are already warring on the follow-up $3.5 trillion spend-a-thon. Afghanistan is spiraling out of control. And inflation is roaring. Our graders were in agreement that it was one of Biden’s worst weeks. Democratic pollster John Zogby graded a D, calling it a “horrible week.” Conservative Jed Babbin dished an F and mocked Biden’s praise for disgraced New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

As Afghanistan continues to fall to the Taliban at a "faster-than-expected" pace, those who served in the war are reportedly "riveted in horror" watching the militant group make gains, and immensely frustrated by the withdrawal that's threatening to undo their 20 years of work, The Washington Post reports. "It makes me angry, really angry," said Tom Amenta, a retired veteran who was originally deployed in 2002. Afghanistan "has never had a clean solution," he told the Post. "But now that it's gotten hard, we're just going to bounce? It doesn't make it right." The United Kingdom's Foreign Affairs Select Committee
As Afghanistan's provincial capitals fall to the Taliban one by one, and as many U.S. Embassy personnel in Kabul evacuate, President Biden stepped aboard Marine One in Delaware en route to Camp David without publicly addressing the situation in Afghanistan for another day. Mr. Biden has made no remarks about the rapidly deteriorating situation in Afghanistan since Tuesday, as the Taliban swiftly unravels two decades of U.S. investments in the nation and jeopardizes Afghan lives. On Tuesday, two days before he ordered the reduction of civilian personnel at the U.S. Embassy in Kabul, the president said he didn't regret his
MINNEAPOLIS -- Minneapolis police will no longer stop motorists for minor traffic violations, such as expired tabs or an air freshener hanging from their rearview mirror, according to a new policy change. Police Chief Medaria Arrandondo, in an internal memo Thursday, said the move comes after examining how officers can better use time and resources. “MPD will no longer be conducting traffic stops solely for these offenses: expired tabs, an item dangling from a mirror, or not having a working license plate light,” Arradondo wrote in the memo obtained by the Star Tribune. Critics have long argued that low-level traffic
SAN FRANCISCO — Authorities in California are asking for the public’s help in identifying a woman who allegedly fed wild coyotes in San Francisco. A recent photo snapped by officials with San Francisco Animal Care and Control shows the woman allegedly holding a platter of raw meat in San Francisco’s Bernal Heights Park, KTVU reported. “You are looking at a woman bringing a tray of meat to coyotes,” Virginia Donohue, executive director of San Francisco Animal Care and Control, told KRON. “On days when she is not there, the coyotes wait for her. They know somebody is coming with a

WASHINGTON – President Joe Biden said Wednesday his administration is taking steps to crack down on illegal activity that might be contributing to a rise in gas prices. Biden announced that the National Economic Council has asked the Federal Trade Commission to use “every available tool” to monitor the U.S. gasoline market and look for any illegal activity that might be causing gas prices to jump while the cost of a barrel of oil is going down. “That’s not what you’d expect in a competitive market,” Biden said from the White House. "I want to make sure that nothing stands

A man who died in West Africa has tested positive for the Ebola-like Marburg virus — with health officials scrambling to stop the killer disease before it can "spread far and wide," the World Health Organization said. The unidentified man fell sick with "fever, headache, fatigue [and] abdominal pain" last month in Gueckedou in Guinea, close to the borders with Sierra Leone and Liberia, WHO officials announced Monday. He died on Aug. 2, with tests finally showing that he died from Marburg, a "highly infectious disease that causes hemorrhagic fever" — and has a fatality rate of up to 88 percent, the
A Las Vegas woman who raised more than $210,000 in donations on GoFundMe after claiming she “and her three daughters” were facing eviction has admitted the children are her boyfriend’s – and don’t live with her. Dasha Kelly, 32, asked the public to “help my girls and I avoid eviction” on the fundraising site, which attracted thousands of donations after her story was featured on CNN. (Snip) The case attracted thousands of donors after being highlighted on three separate reports by CNN. “A single mother of three is about to be evicted if the White House and Congress don’t act,”
PORTLAND, Ore. — People who live on Hayden Island say the homeless crisis and crime seem to be getting out of hand. They feel crime is rampant and, according to statistics, they're right. Portland Police Bureau data show crime on Hayden Island is the worst it's been in the last five years. Property crimes like theft, burglary and larceny make up the vast majority. "I don't feel safe," a resident named Judi told KGW. "It didn't used to be like this." Oftentimes, Hayden Island residents say they see stolen kayaks and boats pulled up next to two abandoned military vessels and

The adult LGBTQ population in the United States reported living in households facing much higher levels of food insecurity when compared to non-LGBTQ adults, according to data recently released by the Census Bureau.
Of the more than 64,000 people who responded to a recent survey by the bureau, 13.1% of LGBTQ adults reported living in a household “where there was sometimes or often not enough to eat in the past seven days,” compared to 7.2% non-LGBTQ adults. The latest version of the Household Pulse Survey, which measures household experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic, also included questions about respondents’ sexual orientation and gender identity.
President Joe Biden is weighing vaccines mandates for interstate travel, according to the Associated Press (AP) on Thursday.
“Still, while more severe [coronavirus] measures — such as mandating vaccines for interstate travel or changing how the federal government reimburses treatment for those who are unvaccinated and become ill with COVID-19 — have been discussed,” the AP writes, “the administration worried that they would be too polarizing for the moment.” For the time being, the White House seems content with shaming those who are unvaccinated, while demanding private companies mandate vaccinations for their employees.
For instance, Biden told churchgoers April 1, they were being ungodly if they did not become vaccinated.
Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Chairman Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney chose to raise awareness recently about the most obvious thing in Washington: The Democrats’ control of the U.S. House of Representatives is in serious jeopardy. Politico’s story “House Dem campaign chief warns the majority at risk without message reboot” amplified Mr. Maloney’s cry for help but made it clear that Democrats are in serious denial about the dire situation they’ve created for themselves.
Not only is history working against them - a new President’s party almost always loses seats in Congress in their first midterm election - but Democrats have the smallest majority in 100 years and
Earlier this week video was released of President Biden’s son Hunter Biden naked with a hooker complaining about Russians stealing his laptop for blackmail purposes.
Hunter Biden filmed the whole thing and kept the video on his laptop that he later abandoned at a computer repair shop in Delaware.This is a national scandal like Nothing this country has ever seen before.
Certainly, dirtbag Chris Wray and the FBI are on top of this? And yet Not One mainstream liberal outlet even ran the story!

The Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine has issued guidelines that suggest employing such terms as “chestfeeding,” “human milk feeding,” and “parent’s milk” to promote what it calls “gender-inclusive language.” The ABM position statement on “infant feeding and lactation-related language and gender,” co-authored by eight doctors and the academy, said that “the use of de-sexed or gender-inclusive language is appropriate in many settings.” “ABM recognizes that not all people who give birth and lactate identify as female, and that some of these individuals identify as neither female nor male,” said the four-page document posted July 29. Suggested “gender-inclusive terms” for “breastfeeding” include “chestfeeding, lactating,
The Taliban have retaken 12 provincial Afghanistan capitals following the U.S. military’s secretive overnight withdrawal from Bagram Airfield earlier this year (U.S. officials didn’t even notify the base’s new Afghan commander before silently slipping away, leaving the official to discover for himself, nearly two hours after the fact, that the Americans had Irish Goodbye’d after nearly 20 years of occupation).Since the May 1 departure, the Taliban have captured 69 of the country's 407 districts, including ones American and Afghan officials previously considered impenetrable government strongholds against the terrorist group.

Dr. Anthony Fauci said on Thursday that he can't rule out people having to have COVID-19 booster shots indefinitely as the virus continues to surge. Fauci, the chief medical advisor to the president, made his comments in an interview with Anderson Cooper on CNN in which he also warned that fully vaccinated people with so-called breakthrough infections can still get long-term COVID. 'We know a lot more than we did to start, but there's obviously, you know, we need to be humble in the face of this virus,' Fauci said.

MSNBC’s The ReidOut host Joy Reid continued on her warpath against conservatives and Republicans while poisoning her left-wing viewership, telling them on Thursday that their right-of-center coworkers, family members, and friends possess “nonsensical, homicidal arguments” that lack “a really strong feeling about staying alive…and keeping their kids alive” amidst the coronavirus pandemic. And, of course, Reid had plenty of help in the form of dutiful guests who saw little reason to disagree with her dangerous rhetoric.
For decades, the Democrat “death tax” has been greatly frowned upon by Republicans and the American people. Most Americans hate the concept of taxing someone’s wealth after they have died however this has not stopped Democrats from gouging money from a deceased person’s family.National Review reports that the death tax has dropped from 55% to 40% this century however it now appears that the Biden administration wants more.You heard that right: The Biden administration wants to tax you or your loved one’s dead body.
The left will not give up on the “For the People Act,” because they know the so-called voter rights bill will all but assure one-party rule for decades — for Democrats.In furtherance of that quest, they continue to push the myth of voter suppression in America, falsely claiming that the right to vote for people of color is under attack at a time when access to the ballot box has never been greater – a claim that comes with the full confidence of the national media being on board.This is where Eric Holder comes into play.
