Biden calls Capitol riot ‘coup’ in
Ga. speech, claims he was arrested in
civil rights protest

President Biden on Tuesday branded the Capitol riot a “coup” attempt and called on the Senate to scrap its usual 60-vote threshold to pass a pair of election reform bills—but his message was clouded by distracting gaffes. Biden’s sharpened attack on former President Donald Trump and his supporters was bracketed by Biden once again referring to Vice President Kamala Harris as “President Harris” and by his assertion that he was arrested multiple times while fighting for civil rights.(Snip)His 2007 autobiography “Promises to Keep” describes no such arrests. In 2020, Biden infamously claimed he “had the great honor of being arrested” in South Africa when he was

Those EVs Joe Biden and Democrats promise will transform the climate? That EV you drive and think you’re saving the planet with? They don’t get their power out of thin air; in fact, they draw heavily on burning coal in huge plants to charge up the lithium batteries. In other words, electric vehicles need fossil fuels. They just use them ahead of time rather than in the moment.(Snip)One intrepid YouTuber didn’t necessarily create his latest video blog to prove that point, but he does have fun with mods on cars and took his Tesla for a spin recently. At least if an 1,800 trip can be considered a spin.
A North Carolina mother read from a graphic novel found in her child’s seventh-grade classroom during an Oct. 12 school board meeting, according to video footage from the event. The mother alleges that the book “This Book Is Gay,” by Juno Dawson is available to seventh-grade students at a middle school in Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools. The book was allegedly found at Collingswood Middle School and allegedly on a recommended reading list at another school in the district. Before reading the graphic novel, the mother insisted children leave the room before she read a chapter titled “The Ins and Outs of Gay Sex.”(Snip)“It’s no wonder that 92 percent
Lisa Webb purposely sits with her back against the front of the Green Line train when she rides to her job at a north metro fast food restaurant from her home on St. Paul's East Side. From her perch, she's seen a woman stabbed near the train and passengers using drugs and smoking. Some she sees are mentally ill and need help. Webb, who must use transit because she doesn't own a car, minds her own business but admits she often feels afraid. "The cops," she said, "are barely around." Stories like Webb's have evolved into a widespread perception in recent years that riding the Green and Blue light rail
The Boeing Company is set to outsource to India hundreds of coveted white-collar American jobs, beginning this year, while making billions in profits from taxpayer-funded contracts with the Defense Department.(Snip)Hundreds more American jobs at Boeing are expected to be outsourced to India next year. The move comes as Boeing has laid off tens of thousands of employees and sent most of its high-paying American tech jobs to India. For years, as The Atlantic noted in 2019, Boeing has been importing $9-an-hour foreign H-1B visa workers to take coveted software engineering jobs at its American plants. The goal was to cut costs
One year after the Fed was rocked by a trading scandal which cost the jobs of three Fed henchmen, including Dallas and Boston Fed presidents, Kaplan and Rosengren, and Fed vice-chair Richard Clarida (who couldn't wait to be sacked for cause or otherwise just to get back to Pimco) after financial disclosures showed they had been trading extensively in individual stocks in 2020 during a period in which the Fed engaged in extraordinary market interventions as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, moments ago Atlanta Fed president Raphael Bostic joined the club of inglorious Fed traders when he revealed he had improperly disclosed financial transactions for the past five
The Adams administration has quietly tapped a City Council member’s wife and another top Bronx Democratic supporter to fill two, high-ranking, $177,000-a-year Parks Department jobs, The Post has learned. The Parks Department in August gave Jessenia Aponte, wife of Councilman Rafael Salamanca (D-Bronx), a huge promotion that comes with a $72,000-plus raise, naming her Bronx borough commissioner. In another under-the-radar move, the agency last month handed Anthony Perez, former executive director of the Bronx Democratic Party, the job of Manhattan borough commissioner.(Snip)

President Biden tried to generate some buzz for Democrats Saturday by making a head-scratching claim about tax credits for coffee machines during a flub-filled speech in Portland, Ore. Two days after new data showed consumer prices continuing to surge, Biden resolutely ignored the topic of inflation in a speech billed as “Remarks on Lowering Costs for American Families”—focusing instead on benefits tucked into his monster spending bill. “The Inflation Reduction Act has to do with your ability to get tax credits for buying—if you need a new coffee machine, a new washer, a new refrigerator,” Biden said.(Snip)Earlier in the speech, Biden appeared to blank

Stockton, Calif.—Stockton authorities said on Saturday an arrest has been made linked to the six murders in California. Stockton police chief Stanley McFadden, city manager Harry Black and Mayor Kevin Lincoln made the announcement in a joint press conference regarding the homicide series investigation. Wesley Brownlee, 43, was arrested around 2 a.m. Saturday, Chief McFadden said.(Snip)Earlier this month, authorities said the California serial killer seems to be "on a mission" throughout the fatal shooting of six men and the wounding of one woman dating back to 2021. Ballistics tests and video evidence linked the crimes in Stockton and Oakland, about 70 miles (110 kilometers) apart, police said.
Former FBI agent Timothy Thibault refused an interview requested by Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee over the politicization within his agency, saying he cannot speak on ongoing investigations.
GOP lawmakers requested information from Mr. Thibault last month over the FBI’s approach to probing President Biden’s son, Hunter Biden.(Snip)The former agent’s conduct came under scrutiny by Republicans as over a dozen whistleblowers have come forth with allegations of political bias within the FBI. Mr. Thibault was accused of suppressing information that could benefit the investigation into Hunter Biden. Reps. Jim Jordan of Ohio, Mike Johnson of Louisiana and Darrell Issa of California, who originally sent the request,
Trevor Milton, the founder of electric truck maker Nikola, was convicted of fraud after being accused of bragging about nonexistent technology in an attempt to inflate his company’s stock price. “Trevor Milton is a con man,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Jordan Estes said. “He lied to investors to get their money, plain and simple.”
On Friday, a federal jury in U.S. District Court in Manhattan found Milton guilty of defrauding investors by lying about the supposed technical achievements of Nikola, according to a report by the New York Times.(Snip)Milton, who owned 25 percent of Nikola shares, then went on a luxurious shopping spree after the stock market made him wealthy.
The Boston Children’s Hospital claims that puberty-blocking drugs are “completely reversible” despite the director of their gender clinic admitting they can cause infertility in a video obtained by Breitbart News. “Children and adolescents who are in puberty may choose to pause puberty using puberty blockers,” the Boston Children’s Hospital says on its website. It goes on to incorrectly claim that “These are temporary medicines that are completely reversible; they do not cause any permanent changes.” But Breitbart News recently obtained and released footage of Dr. Jeremi Carswell, the Director of the Boston Children’s Hospital Gender Multispeciality Service, admitting on camera that puberty-blocking drugs can sterilize children.
Lillington, N.C.—A Harnett County man who showed up for jury duty on Monday ended up behind bars after refusing to wear a mask in the courtroom. Judge Charles Gilchrist booked Gregory Hahn, 47, without bond after Hahn told the judge he wouldn’t wear a mask. Hahn was jailed for contempt of court. “There were signs saying no masks were required,” Hahn told WRAL News. “We all walked in.”(Snip)“You can go in any district courtroom without a mask, you can come into superior clerk court without a mask and the [district attorney’s] office without a mask, but with Judge Gilchrist he has a mandate that you must wear

I was as surprised as the next person when I recognized that I might be drawn to becoming a Catholic nun.
I graduated from pharmacy school in 1981 and was out of the church during my college years.

Gordon Lightfoot, the honey-voiced Canadian singer-songwriter who had giant U.S. hits with “If You Could Read My Mind,” “Sundown” and “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald,” died today at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre in Toronto. He was 84.
His longtime publicist Victoria Lord revealed the news to Canadian media outlets including the CBC but did not provide a cause of death. Revered in Canada, Lightfoot had been scheduled to play Los Angeles-area clubs several times during the past two years but had postponed the dates at least twice. Born on November 17, 1938, in Orillia, Ontario, Lightfoot had been part of the Canadian folk scene for several years
Bud Light sales continue to sink like a brick as the Dylan Mulvaney fallout nears it’s one-month anniversary.
Congrats to the happy couple!
The latest numbers are in, and the folks over at Anheuser-Busch may wanna look away. According to Beer Business Daily, Bud Light’s off-premise sales volume — the amount of beer sold outside of restaurants and bars — was down 26.1% from a year earlier in the week ending in April 22.
That’s even worse than the 21.1% decrease from the week prior, while Bud Light numbers are now down 8% this year.
Houston will host a series of 'large-scale' nuclear training drills this week as the military war games the unthinkable.
The FBI has warned residents of Harris County and southeast Houston that 'multi-agency' exercises will be carried out from Monday to Friday to simulate a nuclear attack.
The agency reassured the public there was no need to be alarmed by the presence of 'military personnel and aircraft, and people in protective equipment'.It comes amid growing threats from North Korea and Russia and analysis that shows a missile from Pyongyang could kill around 130,000 people if dropped on Houston.

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot is urging Texas Gov. Greg Abbott to not follow through with his "inhuman and dangerous" plan to send more migrants and asylum seekers from his southern state to her city. The outgoing Chicago mayor made her appeal to the Republican governor in a letter Sunday, stating that they are aware Texas is planning as soon as Monday to start sending migrants to Democrat-led cities including Chicago.

One of ETHS’s pre-calculus courses describes, “[t]he course is restricted to students who identify as Black male students.” While another pre-calculus course mentions that it is only for “Latinx” students, and a third course does not have any restrictions based on gender or race.

Fox News’ decision to tap Brian Kilmeade as the host of “Fox News Tonight” at 8 p.m. ET, following the departure of Tucker Carlson, has not been without its challenges. Since his debut last Monday, ratings for Kilmeade’s fill-in show have reportedly dropped significantly with each consecutive day.
Amid mounting criticism directed towards Fox News following the exit of Tucker Carlson and a subsequent dip in primetime ratings, host Brian Kilmeade took to the airwaves to defend his network.Speaking on a podcast with host Frank Morano last week, Kilmeade emphasized that Fox was “just as strong as ever,”
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) doubled down on his rejection of House Republicans’ debt limit bill Monday, accusing the GOP of risking default and vowing to hold Senate hearings to “expose the true impact” of the legislation.
Schumer wrote in a “Dear Colleague” letter that the Senate would begin examining the bill, which passed in the House last week, in a Budget Committee hearing Thursday.“This bill was hastily drafted and forced through the House at a break-neck speed,” Schumer wrote, arguing it was not vetted in a House committee the way bills typically are.
State Sen. Shevrin Jones can often be seen at the Florida Capitol greeting staff and colleagues with a smile or laugh, but when he’s alone it’s a different story. “The outward expression is to show God’s love. That’s what I was taught,” said Jones, a Democrat. But, he said, “I have enough tears in my car to fill a lake.” For Jones, who is gay, the past two years have been emotionally draining as Florida passed a flurry of anti-LGBTQ+ legislation.CORRECTION*
The Democrats have left the goal wide open. Almost anyone could defeat President Joe Biden, whose physical and mental decline can no longer be hidden from the public.
Almost anyone.Yet, with a kind of hideous slow-motion inevitability, the Republicans seem determined to pick the one candidate that we know Biden can beat. We can say that definitively, for it is a matter of observed fact rather than conjecture.
It is agonizing for friends of the United States to watch the two parties, in the grip of their weird internal dynamics, plumping for candidates whom they know in their souls to be unsuitable.
For the past year or so, Hunter Biden’s lawyers have spent the bulk of their billable hours responding to the Department of Justice’s investigation into their client’s questionable business dealings. But on Monday, the president’s son headed to Arkansas after he was ordered to appear in court for a contempt hearing in his paternity case. According to court filings, Lunden Roberts, the mother of Biden’s 4-year-old estranged daughter, wants Biden to be held in contempt and placed in jail for allegedly withholding evidence in the paternity suit. In 2019, a DNA test confirmed that Biden was the father of the
A Republican councilman in Indiana is going viral after writing on Facebook that he now identifies as a woman of color in an apparent effort to troll the left. Ryan Webb, a father of five who is married to his wife, Brandy, is currently a councilman for Delaware County, Indiana, according to his official account.
But he raised eyebrows after he announced his gender transition on Facebook, in a move that some conservative commentators are interpreting as a joke. Webb himself has said that he is holding up a "mirror to the political left" to expose the contradictions in gender ideology. "After much consideration I have decided
