Well, he *is* a political prisoner so it makes sense for him to seek asylum elsewhere. There was a time his asylum claim would have been outrageous but those days are gone.

He’s from Mill Valley? That’s practically ground zero for leftists. Nice to know there is at least one person there with a mind.

#2 is right. There's something kinda' fishy about this story. Also, his Jan. 6 behavior doesn't sound exactly exemplary. I think we're missing some info on Mr. Neumann.....

He's seeking asylum in one of the only communist dictatorships left in the world. Weird?

The Biden gang sweeps aside the Rule of Law when it comes to Jan. 6?! ...Political prisoners begin to appeal to other countries for Justice?!! The Biden gang seems accountable to no legalities.

It's probably refreshing to live in a country where everyone hates their government and loves their nation.

Chris Christie ramped up his spat with potential 2024 rival Donald Trump on Thursday by taunting him over his election defeat to Joe Biden. The former two-term New Jersey governor told Axios on HBO that he's not interested in getting 'into a back-and-forth' with Trump - before mocking him for losing reelection to Joe Biden in 2020. 'I'm not gonna get into a back-and-forth with Donald Trump,' Christie said. 'But what I will say is this: When I ran for reelection in 2013, I got 60 percent of the vote.''When he ran for reelection, he lost to Joe Biden.

From the moment Donald Trump announced his presidential aspirations in June 2015, he has dominated the political landscape. Trump's turn in the spotlight has persisted for so long that it seems impossible to get away from him. Both his critics and fans are many. Though Democrats control the White House and Congress, they are eager to remind others of the Trumpian loyalty still alive within the Republican Party. But when it comes to elections, there is no placing Trump on a ballot if he is not running. This truth played itself out on the Nov. 2 election night.

What's up with Kamala Harris on her five-day official visit to France representing the United States of America? Seems she's up to this: Truly, what is wrong w this woman?! She’s mocking them as though her prep for this trip involved watching Pepe LePew cartoons. Kamala using a fake French accent to talk to French people. (snip) Which is pretty juvenile. Going to a foreign country and mocking the locals in their own accent is no way to make friends or project U.S. influence abroad. In fact, it's not something anyone with any manners at all would do, let alone jet into someone's country to do.

It made for a good laugh a few months ago when Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY), a particularly fierce critic of former President Donald Trump, indicated she wasn't ruling out a run for president in 2024. Her actions as of late have only fueled further speculation that she really is going for it. On Tuesday night she not only publicly railed against Trump before a large audience, but she did so in New Hampshire. As the first primary state, even just stepping foot there can get people talking. [Tweets] Rep. Cheney made her remarks at St. Anselm College’s Nackey Loeb School of Communication.

During his SiriusXM show on Tuesday, radio show host Hoard Stern claimed that he would beat former President Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential race if they were to run against each other.The comments from Stern came as he was explaining that the key to defeating Trump is by playing a portion of his phone conversation with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger from January.“What I want to do is this. I just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have, because we won the state,” Trump said.Stern claimed that there is “no way” he would lose if he played that clip.

A Black Lives Matter leader vowed there’ll be “riots,” “fire” and “bloodshed” if Mayor-elect Eric Adams follows through with his promise to bring back plainclothes anti-crime cops to battle New York’s surge in violent crimes. New York BLM co-founder Hawk Newsome debated the plan for a return to tougher policing with Adams during a contentious sit-down at Brooklyn Borough Hall Wednesday that was livestreamed on Instagram. Although Adams found common ground with the activists on plans to fight poverty in the black community, the former NYPD captain said he’ll be reinstating a revamped version of the undercover anti-crime unit that was disbanded at the height of widespread police protests last year.

The judge presiding over the homicide trial of Kyle Rittenhouse confused observers after making a strange and off-color joke inside the courtroom on Thursday. "I hope the Asian food isn't coming.. isn't on one of those boats from Long Beach Harbor," said Kenosha County Circuit Court Judge Bruce Schroeder as the court was preparing to take a lunch break. (Snip) "It harms our community and puts us in the crosshairs of micro aggressions as well as actual physical violence," said John Yang, president and executive director of Asian Americans Advancing Justice-AAJC.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Wednesday floated sending migrants to President Biden’s home state of Delaware, in response to the dozens of migrant flights DeSantis says have landed in Florida at the behest of the Biden administration. "If they’re going to come here, we’ll provide buses," DeSantis said of the migrants on the flights. "I will send them to Delaware and do that. If he’s not going to support the border being secure, then he should be able to have everyone there," he said.

A disturbing cheap shot during a California basketball game left a teen girl concussed and her mother “in shock.” At an event in Southern California, 15-year-old Lauryn Ham was sucker-punched by one of her opponents. According to her mother, she’s still recovering from the brutal punch over the weekend.(Snip)“The person in question went down the court and shot a 3-pointer, landed, fell backwards into my daughter,” Ham said. “As they got up and turned and were walking back down to the other side of the court, her mom says to her, ‘You need to hit her for that.’ And the child in question sucker-punched

President Joe Biden said on Wednesday that most Americans cannot understand the problems faced by the United States' supply chains, adding that 'not a lot of people' have a clear grasp of the networks and their implications. Speaking at the port of Baltimore, where he touted his $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill—which was passed by Congress on Friday, and which he plans to sign into law on Monday—Biden said that investing in resiliency was essential. 'You hear a lot about the supply chains in the news, but frankly, not a lot of people have a clear understanding, whether they have a Ph.D. or they didn't go to school,

As Vermont reports higher than ever COVID-19 case rates, state health officials have been trying to understand why. How can a state that did so well during the first part of the pandemic — even garnering national recognition — be doing so much worse now? "There is not one simple answer," said Vermont Health Commissioner Dr. Mark Levine during a news conference Tuesday. "But, there are clearly factors that have come together to create the situation that we're in now." Slowing the spread is critical right now to prevent Vermont's hospitals from being overwhelmed with people sick with the virus, Levine said.
