Police have arrested a man accused of robbing a woman at knifepoint in a Home Depot parking lot in northeast Atlanta last month.
Steve Jerome White, 64, was charged with armed robbery, aggravated assault, false imprisonment and possession of a knife during the commission of a felony in connection with the violent Feb. 24 encounter, police said in a news release Thursday. According to investigators, White slipped into a 59-year-old woman’s SUV as she loaded items into her vehicle after shopping at the Home Depot at the Lindbergh Plaza shopping mall at 2525 Piedmont Road.(Snip)Police noted that White is a felon who’s been arrested nearly 50 times
Earlier this month a group of student protesters shut down a scheduled speech at UC Hastings College of Law in San Francisco by Ilya Shapiro. After about 30 minutes of rude interruptions, Shapiro gave up and the even was canceled. The school sent out a notice reminding students that shouting down speakers violated the school’s code of conduct but no one was ever punished for those violations. Last week there was a similar attempt to use the heckler’s veto during a panel at Yale Law School on the topic of free speech.
The March 10 panel, which was hosted by the Yale Federalist Society,
10 Realities of Ukraine
replies
One -- Reassuring an enemy what one will not do ensures that the enemy will do just that and more. Unpredictability and occasional enigmatic silence bolster deterrence. But President Joe Biden's predictable reassurance to Russian President Vladimir Putin that he will show restraint means Putin likely will not.
Two -- No-fly zones don't work in a big-power, symmetrical standoff. In a cost-benefit analysis, they are not worth the risk of shooting down the planes of a nuclear power. They usually do little to stop planes outside of such zones shooting missiles into them. Sending long-range, high-altitude anti-aircraft batteries to Ukraine to deny Russian air superiority is a far better way
Food prices are already skyrocketing. Some — a lot — of this comes from inflation caused by runaway government spending over the past two years. Some is from supply-chain issues. But a new problem is rearing its head, and government officials seem as likely to make it worse as to make it better.
That problem is shortages of food and fertilizer brought about by the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the sanctions enacted by the West in response. Ukraine is a major wheat producer, but war is likely to ensure a poor spring planting and harvest. Russia is also a major grower, but sanctions and war will prevent it from exporting to most
Washington—Drugmaker Moderna asked the Food and Drug Administration on Thursday to authorize a fourth shot of its COVID-19 vaccine as a booster dose for all adults. The request is broader than rival pharmaceutical company Pfizer’s request earlier this week for the regulator to approve a booster shot for all seniors. In a press release, the company said its request for approval for all adults was made “to provide flexibility” to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and medical providers to determine the “appropriate use” of a second booster dose of the mRNA vaccine, “including for those at higher risk of COVID-19 due to age or comorbidities.”
We’ve known since 2020 that the Hunter Biden laptop was real. But liberal media did all they could to downplay the reality of it, even when you had video of Hunter on the laptop engaged in all kinds of disreputable things, because it was October 2020, just before the election and they wanted Joe Biden to win. You even had Twitter doing all they could to bury the story and block the URL of the NY Post story being spread on the platform. They variously tried to claim they were doing it because it was “hacked” material (it wasn’t) and/or that it was “Russian disinformation.”
When the New York Post published information about the tawdry access-peddling business dealings of President Joe Biden’s son a month before the 2020 election, much of the major media refused to cover it. Some of them even called it (without any evidence) Russian disinformation. Big Tech's social media platforms took the unprecedented step of throttling access to the stories.... It showed how Joe Biden’s family used his power to gain riches, and how Biden thought there was nothing wrong with it.
Hunter Biden in 2021 paid an outstanding $1 million IRS tax bill to evade conviction or a long sentence, the New York Times reported Wednesday.Hunter reportedly paid the massive tax bill by taking out a loan. The tax payment does not protect Hunter from any potential incoming charges.As a grand jury continues the probe into Hunter’s corrupt international business dealings, Hunter’s taxes are just one potential crime among many. Working with his family, including his father, former Vice President Joe Biden, the probe into Hunter may include his business dealings with Ukrainian Energy company Burisma Holdings and a Chinese energy conglomerate.
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) teased on Thursday morning that she would be reading a poem written by Bono for the Ukrainian people at Congress’ annual Friends of St. Patrick luncheon that afternoon. It was seemingly out of the blue and the instant reaction on Twitter was simple: “Why?”At the luncheon, she read poetry by the lead singer of U2, Bono — who is an Irishman himself. It compared St. Patrick to Ukrainian President Volodmyr Zelensky.Based on tweets, it seems that “Why?” transformed into more of a “What in the world?” The spectacle was truly bizarre.
Barack Obama's daughters Sasha and Malia have cemented their status as true Los Angeles celebrities by ticking off another A-lister rite of passage: a grueling hike in the Hollywood heat. The former First Daughters - who both relocated to the West Coast earlier this year - were pictured working up a sweat while enjoying a scenic up-hill walk, just days after they were spotted dining out at an exclusive LA eatery with their mother Michelle. Sasha, 20, and Malia, 23, both put on a sporty display for their fitness-focused outing, with the younger Obama sibling donning a tiny pair of black workout shorts, which she paired with a black T-shirt
A Manhattan man who was beaten by a mob of dirt bikers—along with his father—said Thursday that the wild, caught-on-video brawl was sparked by a mere “accident.” The 35-year-old man told The Post he now worries about his 64-year-old father, who suffered a concussion and is struggling after the disturbing broad-daylight assault Tuesday in Harlem. “I’m OK, I’m just really concerned about him, concerned about my father,” he said. “I want them to find them, and justice. “Because it was an accident, all right? What was the point of assaulting an elderly guy? Like 10 people. Anybody’s a man with 10 people.”
RCP White House correspondent Phil Wegmann asked at Thursday's briefing about a New York Times report that seems to confirm the existence of the "laptop from hell," a Macbook that President Biden's son Hunter allegedly never picked up from a Delaware repair shop.The alleged contents of this laptop were at the center of President Trump's first impeachment and U.S. relations with Ukraine in March 2020 and then dismissed as "Russian disinformation" and censored from social media during the final weeks of the 2020 presidential election."I'd point you to the Department of Justice and also to Hunter Biden's representatives," press secretary Jen Psaki said. "He doesn't work in the government."
White House press secretary Jen Psaki declined to comment multiple times when asked about her past comments that reporting on Hunter Biden’s laptop in 2020 were part of a "Russian disinformation" campaign."I’d point you to the Department of Justice and also to Hunter Biden’s representatives," Psaki told a reporter Wednesday when asked about the White House’s previous dismissal of the laptop reporting which was originally published by the New York Post in October of 2020 and confirmed by the New York Times on Wednesday, well over a year later. "He doesn’t work in government."
Representative Michael Cloud (R-TX) is raising awareness on a growing problem within America: The State’s violation of God-given, natural rights to protect life, liberty, and property.Representative Cloud made a recent appearance on NTD’s Capitol Report and shared some alarming news about the encroachment of the federal government to monitor, track, record, and potentially act upon knowledge of gun sales and purchases. It seems obvious that in the wrong hands, information about gun ownership could quickly turn into a bloody mess. Would guns be outrageously taxed? Confiscated? To what end would they pursue goals of civilian disarmament?
The New York Post (NYP) editorial board slammed The New York Times (NYT) on Thursday for conceding that Hunter Biden’s laptop, and the contents on it, are real. “Forgive the profanity, but you have got to be s–tting us,” the NYP wrote. “First, the New York Times decides more than a year later that Hunter Biden’s business woes are worthy of a story. Then, deep in the piece, in passing, it notes that Hunter’s laptop is legitimate.There were email exchanges between Hunter and other colleagues about “Burisma and other foreign business activity,” the NYT noted in a story published Wednesday. “Those emails were obtained by The New York Times from
Federal prosecutors targeting Steve Bannon for contempt of Congress admitted Wednesday that they did not seek higher approval within the Justice Department before spying on Steve Bannon's lawyer. A federal judge on Wednesday ordered the Justice Department to produce internal records related to their decision to prosecute Bannon, a win for the former Trump adviser. U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols seemed disturbed by the unusual move, repeatedly asking prosecutors why they thought it was proper to secretly gather records of defense attorney Robert Costello's private phone calls, text messages, and emails. Nichols also said that Bannon's team should be offered Justice Department 'statements or writings' that justify
The twisted 'truth' on Ukraine
replies
I couldn't believe my eyes when I read in AT the recent article by Dan Truitt on the Russian invasion in Ukraine. Almost word by word, it repeated the Russian propaganda that is being fed by the "Ministry of Truth" in Moscow. Mr. Truitt claims that "virtually no one in the U.S. has got this right, including conservative outlets and pundits." What arrogance! By these words, he claims a possession of the ultimate knowledge of the roots and causes of the current events. Really?
Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, President Biden's Supreme Court nominee, praised the controversial 1619 Project and its author Nikole Hannah-Jones during a Martin Luther King, Jr. Day address at the University of Michigan two years ago.In a January 2020 lecture, titled, "Black Women Leaders In The Civil Rights Movement Era And Beyond," Jackson described Hannah-Jones as an "acclaimed investigative journalist" and highlighted Hannah-Jones’ "provocative" assertion that "the America that was born in 1776 was not the perfect union that it purported to be." A transcription of the lecture was published Thursday by The Daily Wire.
Former President Trump's office and Republicans expressed vindication and slammed Big Tech for censoring reports on Hunter Biden's laptop after the New York Times confirmed authenticity of emails from the device. 'The Fake News covered it all up during a presidential election, which may be an even bigger crime than the contents of the laptop. It's well past time time for the truth!' Trump spokesman Taylor Budowich told DailyMail.com. 'The New York Times admits what we've known for years: the Hunter Biden laptop story was true. Big tech's censorship of this story was a disgrace,' Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., wrote on Twitter.
Writing in the Wall Street Journal, the Hudson Institute's Walter Russell Mead pronounces the Biden administration's great power diplomacy an unmitigated failure. Mead's criticism cannot be dismissed as a partisan attack — he is a member in good standing of the U.S. foreign policy establishment. Mead is also steeped in history and geopolitics — two subjects that appear to have eluded the stalwarts of President Biden's foreign policy team.
"Most ... of the ideas Team Biden brought to the White House," Mead writes, "failed to work," and most of the changes that U.S. foreign policy will require today and in the immediate future "will be toxic to much
The New York Times has finally admitted Hunter Biden's laptop is real – more than a year after DailyMail.com authenticated its contents with top experts.When files from the laptop were published before the 2020 presidential election, the newspaper cast doubt on its provenance, linked it to Russian disinformation, and made no public attempt to obtain and verify it.But buried 1,200 words into a story this week about a federal probe into the president's son, the Gray Lady admitted to an astonishing U-turn.
Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis (FL) blasted President Joe Biden this week over general inflation — which DeSantis dubbed as “Bidenflation” — and the rising costs of rent and gas.Responding to a question about rising rents in Florida, DeSantis said “general inflation is causing” rents to spike, and noted of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) moratorium on evictions.“The CDC basically had a moratorium, so that people … really didn’t have to pay rent,” he said. “What’s happening is now all the people that own these properties are charging more to make up for what was [lost].”
This is the moment a bungling Chinese recruit drops a hand grenade mid-throw during a training exercise, prompting his superior to drag him into a nearby trench to take cover.
The video was shared on the social network Douyin, also known as TikTok, by the China Military Television Network.
The lucky escape with the hand grenade involved a recruit from the 74th Group Army of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army Ground Force.
The recruit, name not disclosed, removed the pin from the hand grenade and accidentally dropped it on the ground while attempting to hurl it during training.
Knowing he had around three seconds to react, company commander Zuo Cheng grabbed the recruit

Lesley Stahl has quite a career of lies.
Her most famous interview to date was when she lied repeatedly to the American public in her interview with President Trump in October 2020 before the presidential election. Stahl was carrying water for the Biden crime family. She must be very proud. The country is doing so well. You can thank the far left hacks in the fake news media for doing their best to lie to the American public about Joe Biden and his family’s crimes.
A Russian ambassador on Thursday said Bosnia and Herzegovina could face the same military aggression unleashed on Ukraine if the country joins NATO. Igor Kalbukhov made the remarks during an interview with broadcaster FTV on Thursday. He noted that the country is free to join the 30-member alliance but that Moscow would respond, Euractiv reported.
"If (Bosnia and Herzegovina) decides to be a member of any alliance, that is an internal matter," he said. "Our response is a different matter. Ukraine’s example shows what we expect. Should there be any threat, we will respond."
Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy addressed the Bundestag in a video call for the first time on Thursday morning before the German parliament opened.
The Ukrainian president told German parliamentarians that "help came too late to stop war" with Russia, which invaded the country on February 24.
Zelenskyy had some harsh words for the German government over its economic interests with Russia. "We could see your willingness to continue to do business with Russia and now we're in the middle of the cold war. And again this is something you have failed to see," Zelensky told the Bundestag.
"You're still protecting yourself behind a wall that does not make it possible for you
In a story posted Wednesday night, The New York Times finally came around to implicitly admitting to what many knew in 2020 but, like the intrepid New York Post, were censored for saying: The emails on Hunter Biden’s laptop are indeed real. And, worse yet, the specific e-mails that The Times confirmed involved Burisma.Worse yet for Hunter, it was revealed he took out a loan to pay millions in back taxes while a “broad federal investigation” of his life has expanded, including testimony from the woman who’s alleged he fathered a child with.
President Joe Biden called Vladimir Putin a 'murderous dictator and pure thug' in his St Patrick's Day speech on Thursday that started with the quip: 'I may be Irish but I am not stupid'. Biden ramped up his attacks on the Russian leader, a day after finally calling him a war criminal, in remarks that started with him going through his Irish heritage at the annual Friends of Ireland Luncheon. 'Father before I began, bless me, father I'm about to sin,' Biden cracked, making the sign of the cross as he addressed Rev. Thomas O'Connor while standing between Irish and American flags inside the wood paneled Rayburn Room
Apparently, the motive everyone inferred about Joe Biden to making those bizarre statements about compromising sexual material and blackmail was accurate. Less than 12 hours after his weird comments, yesterday the New York Times released a devastating article finally admitting that every previously denied allegation surrounding the Hunter Biden laptop was accurate.(snip)All of their denials, false statements, malicious attacks against the people telling the truth, and all of the Big Tech censorship that was purposefully and intentionally deployed to keep the lies retained, was done in an effort to manufacture a protective shield for Joe Biden.

I explained a month ago that a Russian invasion of Ukraine would be a disaster for Russia in today’s global economy. Russia would be financially crippled by sanctions and would alienate its European oil and gas customers.
Moreover, I explained, the Ukrainians are not defenseless, and would probably put up a spirited fight. The Russians had little to gain in an invasion and much to lose. I confidently concluded that Vladimir Putin was not foolish enough to invade.
Events have proved me right in every respect except my conclusion. It turns out that Putin was indeed foolish enough to invade.
His invasion has not gone well.
A recent court filing by the January 6 special select committee is giving us our first indication that Donald Trump and his lawyer may be guilty of criminal behavior. We know this is serious because it’s being reported by the New York Times – America’s paper of record. You know, those bastions of accuracy that received a Pulitzer Prize for 3 years of false reporting about the Russian collusion conspiracy. The Times is even reporting that the evidence will likely result in a criminal referral. The paper was probably tipped off by one of their reliable sources – like ahem … Adam Schiff.
An American Olympic figure skater and her father were among those targeted in an alleged conspiracy by secret agents of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to silence dissidents abroad, according to a report by the Associated Press.

The federal government paid out at least $163 billion in bogus pandemic unemployment benefits, and less than 1% of that bad money has actually been recovered, an inspector general told Congress on Thursday. Labor Department Inspector General Larry D. Turner said the states that doled out the federal money weren’t prepared for the massive infusion of cash in their unemployment systems and were using outdated systems easily exploited by fraudsters. The result is that of $872.5 billion in federal unemployment money spent, at least $163 billion—or 18.71%—of that were improper payments. The inspector general said just $830 million has been recovered two years into the pandemic, which works out
Liberals in Congress are pressing President Joe Biden to invoke emergency powers to push ahead with Democrats' climate change agenda and to put new restrictions on fossil fuels, even while gasoline remains at its highest per-gallon price on record.
With legislation stalled in Congress, the nearly 100-member Congressional Progressive Caucus released a slate of policy recommendations Thursday for Biden to pursue, calling on him to use executive action to deal with a list of topics his "Build Back Better" agenda sought to address, including the development of more green energy technologies and placement of restrictions on new fossil fuel production.
Joe Biden’s Supreme Court nominee, Ketanji Brown Jackson, was briefly hailed (by some) as a consensus nominee that even some Republicans could support.
I’m starting to think that Republican support will be much harder to get than Biden had hoped.
Last month, we learned that in 1996, Jackson wrote a “Note” for the Harvard Law Review arguing that convicted sex offenders were treated “unfairly” in the courts. Earlier this week, her past work advocating on behalf of Guantánamo Bay terrorists also became an issue that will undoubtedly come up during her confirmation hearings.

As if to put to rest forever all of those ticklish inquiries about Providence, the grave and trying moment in which we now find ourselves has brought with it a hero capable of rivaling any other. Her name is Vice President Kamala Harris, and she is to the nugatory platitude what Michelangelo was to the marble block: All challengers flee before her, all pretenders quit their thrones at the mere mention of her name. Listen carefully and one can hear the desperation as the most accomplished rattlebrains in America issue condign sighs of dismay. How talented is Harris? Talented enough to make the inanities uttered by her rival Pete

Case in point: The Reuters fact-check team evaluated an awkward moment at a March 10 press conference hosted by Vice President Kamala Harris and Poland’s President Andrzej Duda.According to Reuters, the verdict is in: “Missing context,” with the news agency implying that what occurred was only a matter of temporary levity.

As gasoline prices in the US continue to surge to an unprecedented $7 a gallon in some places, President Joe Biden seems more interested in finding someone to blame than mitigating the problem. ‘Make no mistake, inflation is largely the fault of [Russian president Vladimir] Putin’, the president said on Friday at the House Democratic Caucus Issues Conference. The president then cited a ‘fact checker’ in the New York Times and a Washington Post op-ed to counter anyone daring to lay the blame for skyrocketing prices at the feet of the president of the United States.
White House Coronavirus Response Coordinator Jeff Zients announced his decision to depart Thursday, after a year of leading President Joe Biden’s team.
“I called on Jeff Zients to lead my Administration’s COVID-19 response because there is no one better at delivering results than Jeff,” Biden said in a 486-word statement released by the White House to mark Zients’ departure.
Zients was the voice behind every video call coronavirus briefing and coordinated the response from both Dr. Anthony Fauci and Centers for Disease Control Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky.
California Democrats, who have raised gas taxes and vehicle license fees in recent years, are now proposing to send $400 checks to the state’s taxpayers to help defray the high cost of fuel in the latest surge, which is hitting the state’s drivers hard.While the entire country is paying more for gasoline, thanks to surging post-pandemic demand, the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and the Biden administration’s hostility to oil and gas development, California’s price is the highest in the nation.“California’s high fuel prices are partly because of taxes as well as regulatory programs aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Together, they added about $1.27 to the cost of
Four Disney employees were among more than 100 people arrested as part of a human trafficking operation in Florida, authorities said.
Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd on Wednesday announced the arrest of 108 people as part of "Operation March Sadness 2," a six-day undercover operation. One of the Disney employees was a 27-year-old man who worked as a lifeguard at Disney's Polynesian Village Resort, Judd said.(Snip)Another Disney employee arrested was a 24-year-old man who worked at the Cosmic Restaurant. Other Disney employees arrested were a 45-year-old IT worker and a 27-year-old software developer, Judd said.
We may not have a lot of strength showing from the White House when it comes to dealing with Russia, but it looks like we have some in Alaska.
Russian Duma member Oleg Matveychev, whom some have referred to as the Kremlin’s “spin doctor,” went on Russian state media and said they want reparations for the sanctions that the U.S. imposed upon them.
Matveychev then said he wants “the return of all Russian properties, those of the Russian empire, the Soviet Union and current Russia, which has been seized in the United States, and so on.” As we noted earlier, that included Alaska and even Fort Ross, California,
Over the years, Joe Biden’s predilection for sniffing and pawing little girls has been the subject of a great deal of commentary. (snip) appreciate Joe Biden announcing, “I bet everybody knows somebody, somewhere along the line, that in an intimate relationship, what happened was the guy takes a revealing picture of his naked friend, or whatever, in a comprising position and then literally, in a sense, blackmails [unintelligible].” (snip) given both Biden’s and his son’s personal habits, I wouldn’t be at all surprised to learn that blackmail has crept into their lives.
A concatenation of events is dropping on us like an imploding building and there’s not much we can do to stop it. However, we can mitigate some of the potential damage through our individual efforts and need to get started now.

Vice President Kamala Harris, who we all know is one heartbeat away from the presidency, was shipped to Poland last week to represent the US government in dealing with the war in Ukraine and the refugee crisis at the Poland-Ukraine border. The trip was a disaster. From habit Kamala greeted the Ukrainian refugees arriving at the border with Democrat voter registration and EBT cards and welcomed them to Texas.
In an interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper—authors will go anywhere to flog a book—William Barr said he would back a candidate other than Donald Trump for the 2024 Republican nomination.
The former attorney general, whose new book is “One Damn Thing After Another,” explained: “Yes, I think the coming presidential election would be a good opportunity for the Republican Party. The progressive left is showing a sort of totalitarian temperament.
“I think the Republicans can win a decisive majority, but I don’t think we can do it with Trump. He’s just too divisive a candidate.”

As inflation has continued to climb, so have the number of President Joe Biden’s excuses for why he’s not to blame. First, it was a “transitory” effect of the economy rebounding from COVID lockdowns. Then it was the result of supply chain problems because ports didn’t operate 24/7. Then it was due to a lack of competition among beef suppliers. Then it was greed. Now he’s settled on Vladimir Putin.
None of it is true. But the White House is so determined to take advantage of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine it invited TikTok “influencers” to propagandize them. The mainstream press had already fallen in line,
Just five days after going to jail to begin his 150-day sentence, Jussie Smollett is a free man again. Considering what’s been happening in D.C. to people who, at most, trespassed, the whole Jussie saga has been disgusting and this is one more chapter to irritate or even enrage those who believe in the rule of law. However, much as I hate to say this, the appellate court that released him while his appeal is pending probably made the correct legal decision. (snip) Smollett’s attorneys had argued that he would have completed the jail sentence by the time the appeal process was completed
Woke Yale law students have been filmed threatening speakers and staff for attending a free speech event which saw a humanist speaker invited to debate a high-profile conservative on First Amendment rights.

Dr. Anthony Fauci is getting a little nervous.
The White House chief medical advisor, whose handling of the COVID-19 pandemic has drawn either abject endorsement or stinging rebuke depending on whom you ask, expects to face some tough questions come next year. In an interview with The Washington Post, a mouthpiece not known for its hostility to the good doctor, Fauci speculated that he’d likely be in the hot seat if Republicans take Congress in the upcoming midterm elections.“It’s Benghazi hearings all over again,” Fauci told the Post, an odd comment for a supposedly apolitical and neutral medical advisor and chief of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases
The phrase “Russian disinformation” lost its sting when Democrats started using it as a domestic political weapon.Now, even Republican patsies are accusing people who aren’t sufficiently hawkish about waging war against Russia, like Tucker Carlson or Tulsi Gabbard, of being agents of the Kremlin. Sen. Mitt Romney this week called Gabbard, an Army Reserve lieutenant colonel and former Democratic candidate for president, of being a “treasonous” liar. Ana Navarro and Whoopi Goldberg, co-hosts of ABC’s “The View,” piled on to demand that the Department of Justice investigate Carlson for “shilling for Putin.”
