Back in July 2009, the Cambridge Police Department found itself in the media spotlight when then-President Barack Obama commented on the disorderly conduct arrest of Harvard Professor Henry Louis Gates Jr.  In what many law-enforcement members regard as the first salvo in the modern-day war against police, the most powerful man on the planet questioned “what role race played in that arrest” while concluding “the Cambridge police acted stupidly.”  For his part, the arresting officer, Cambridge Police Sgt. James Crowley, retorted that Obama was “way off base wading into a local issue without knowing all the facts.”

A federal judge ruled that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ administration did not violate a court order regarding the state’s "Stop WOKE Act," which prohibits colleges from promoting critical race theory lessons and targets other "woke" concepts prevalent on higher education campuses. "Although this court would not hesitate to compel compliance with its preliminary injunction, this court finds there has been no violation of the injunction at this time," U.S. District Judge Mark E. Walker wrote on Thursday, according to the Orlando Sentinel. Plaintiffs had challenged the law, known as the "Stop Wrongs To Our Kids and Employees Act" or "Stop WOKE Act," arguing that the DeSantis administration had failed to comply

Now the Biden administration wants to keep a lid on things. Members of the White House press corps took turns ripping President Biden Thursday for not being transparent about the discovery of classified documents at his home and former office — with Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy asking point-blank: “What is the White House trying to hide?” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre repeatedly claimed during her regular briefing that Biden had been “transparent” about his handling of classified documents, despite the fact that significant details were initially concealed while others remain unknown.

Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., is not ruling out the possibility that national security may have been jeopardized by President Joe Biden’s mishandling of classified documents. Schiff appeared on ABC’s "This Week" on Sunday after a third batch of classified documents was found at Biden’s residence in Wilmington, Delaware. ABC’s Jonathan Karl asked Schiff whether it was possible national security had been jeopardized – an assessment Schiff made after the FBI seized classified documents from former President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence in August. "I don’t think we can exclude the possibility without knowing more of the facts," Schiff said. "We have asked for an assessment in the intelligence community of the Mar-a-Lago documents.

In his remarks celebrating the birthday of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., President Biden repeated the questionable claim that he frequented a Black church during the civil rights movement. (Snip) "Let's lay one thing to rest. I may be a practicing Catholic, but used to go to 7:30 Mass every morning in high school and then in college, before I went to the Black church," Biden said. "Not a joke. Andy knows this." "Andy, it's so great to see you, man," the president continued, addressing former U.N. Ambassador and former Southern Christian Leadership Conference executive director Andrew Young. "You’re

Even some kin of Coretta Scott King hate the new $10 million sculpture just dedicated to her and her iconic civil-rights-leader husband in Boston — with a cousin claiming it “looks like a penis.” The massive bronze piece, titled “The Embrace,” features two sets of arms holding each other, an artistic interpretation of the classic photo of Coretta and hubby Martin Luther King Jr. hugging (snip) “The mainstream media … was reporting on it like it was all beautiful, ’cause they were told they had to say that,” Seneca Scott, Coretta’s cousin,(snip) “But then when it came out, a little boy pointed out — ‘That’s a penis!’

This guy’s either a deeply pathological liar capable of building detailed and compelling fiction and delivering it without so much as a flinch … or he’s telling the truth. We legitimately can’t tell. Either way, an interesting moment unfolded during Friday’s The Vince Coglianese Show on WMAL, so interesting, in fact, that Coglianese — also Daily Caller’s editorial director — delayed his follow on interview to stay on the line. A man called in Friday claiming he was sent to recover classified documents left in a hotel room by then-Vice President Joe Biden during the Obama years. The man, who called himself “Fred” and said he needed to keep certain details vague

Chuck Todd and Sen. Ron Johnson got into a heated conversation on Sunday’s “Meet the Press” over whether Hunter Biden committed any crimes through his overseas business dealings — sparking a fierce rebuttal from legal scholar Jonathan Turley eviscerating the NBC News anchor. The fiery exchange started after Johnson, who with Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), led a Senate investigation into Hunter Biden’s business relationships in Ukraine and China, was pressed by Todd on what actual laws President Biden’s son may have violated. “Senator, do you have a crime that you think Hunter Biden committed because I’ve yet to see anybody explain? 

Hunter Biden recorded monthly rent payments of $49,910 while living at President Joe Biden’s residence, according to a document unearthed by New York Post’s Miranda Devine. On a document titled “background screening request,” it appears Hunter paid $49,910 in monthly rent for one year while living at Joe Biden’s Delaware residence, where the president kept classified documents alongside his Corvette in the garage. Hunter listed his rental tenancy from March 2017 to February 2018, the document shows. The document is signed July 2018. In 2017, Joe Biden left the White House and stored a large number of classified documents inside his Delaware garage and at two other locations. 

On Friday afternoon, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) announced an investigation into Joe Biden’s mishandling of classified documents, some of which were labeled top secret. Andrew McCabe, the disgraced former FBI deputy director and current CNN senior law enforcement analyst, promptly urged the Biden Justice Department to obstruct that investigation. “Chairman Jim Jordan announced this House Judiciary Committee investigation into the DOJ actions related to the President’s handling of the classified documents today,” explained CNN anchor Anderson Cooper on Friday night. “How much does that impact the DOJ ongoing investigation?” “I certainly would advise them — if they were willing to listen to my advice —

SAN DIEGO — A woman who traveled into San Diego Thursday morning through the San Ysidro Port of Entry from Tijuana, Mexico, was shocked to discover two people hiding in the trunk of her car about 40 miles from the border. San Diego police were called to the 5000 block of Pacific Center Boulevard in Sorrento Valley around 5 a.m. by a woman driving to work in San Diego who reported two people jumped out of her trunk. The woman initially pulled over in a Qualcomm Sorrento Valley parking lot because she heard strange noises from the rear of her car, according to police.

After the midterms, the opposition party took over the House intent on bringing down the president. The press rejoiced. You could almost see the foaming of the mouth of Greg Sargent of the Washington Post as he wrote, on January 14, 2019, "Two new blockbuster scoops about President Donald Trump’s relations with Russia(snip)Now eggs are $8 a dozen at Piggly Wiggly and Putin's invaded Ukraine. Republicans control the House and they are ready to look at Hunter's laptop and into Biden's presidency. The press is alarmed.

PAULDING COUNTY, Ga. — Civil rights attorney Lee Merritt is representing the family of a 12-year-old boy who died during a police chase in Paulding County in 2021. Le’Den Boykins died when the car he was in crashed after state troopers performed a PIT maneuver. In September of 2021, Charlie Moore was stopped by a Georgia State Patrol trooper for allegedly speeding. Investigators said Moore had also been drinking. They also said they needed to call for backup because Moore wouldn’t cooperate. When backup arrived, a deputy eventually smashed a window after Moore didn’t show his license or open the door. Moore sped off after the window burst. Investigators said Moore drove over

America’s infatuation with Ukraine and Zelensky (the Cocaine Comedian) is starting to wane, but most politicians and the public continue to believe the lie that Ukraine is an innocent country being bludgeoned by a communist Russia ruled by a dictator. Oh yeah. Don’t forget. Russia is suffering massive military and economic losses and just can’t live without U.S. investment and Europe’s technology. It is all nonsense, but if you are living in the United States and try to have a reasoned discussion with the fan boys and girls cheering for Ukraine, you would find more success talking to a brick wall. But cracks are starting to show.

Eat bugs and live in a pod. The globalists and freaks in the left-wing media are trying to convince people to eat bugs. Eating bugs is degrading and that’s why the elitists are pushing them as a “sustainable” source of protein for the peasants. According to a new study, ‘beetleburgers’ made from mealworms will hit mass production to help feed the world.“Mixed with sugar, the beetles supposedly taste just like real meat. They could also become alternatives to sausages or chicken nuggets.” – researchers say. Via Study Finds: Beetleburgers could soon be helping to feed the world, according to new research. The creepy crawlers’ larvae — better known as mealworms —

Throw up a red flag. Strategically speaking, the DNC has walloped the current RNC. Having raised a record $1.5 billion since Trump took office, how did the RNC end up so ineffective? Speaking as one who’s spent a career in the entertainment industry, it’s clear that they fell into a self-made dark abyss through poor marketing coupled with a misdirected ground plan. And they’re so far down they can’t climb out. In contrast, the DNC has mastered the art of branding. Although their leaders are just as old as — or even older than — their GOP counterparts, they present themselves as younger and more

On Jan 6 2021, four Americans died at the US Capitol. They were there protesting the stolen 2020 Presidential election. Ashli Babbitt was shot dead and the Capitol policeman who did it walks free. Rosanne Boyland was beaten while she was laying unconscious. Two innocent gentlemen were standing in the crowd when the Capitol police started firing flash bombs and they died. The Capitol police involved in these deaths walk free.

German authorities want to put a famous Jewish composer and Holocaust survivor into a psychiatric clinic and want to force her to take the COVID injection. According to the news outlet Report24, Inna Zhvanetskaya, who lives in Stuttgart, Germany, was supposed to be taken to a psychiatric institution for a string of claimed mental illnesses, and forcefully injected with the COVID vaccines on January 11, which she does not want. (Report24 says it has been in personal contact with Zhvanetskaya.) However, according to several reports, she has been transferred to a safe place by sympathetic activists who wanted to prevent her from being detained and vaccinated against her will.

KEY WEST, Fla. — Monroe County Sheriff Rick Ramsay said the Biden administration is in no position to criticize Governor Ron DeSantis' (R) deployment of National Guardsmen deal with the increase in illegal boat landings in the Florida Keys because the federal government has failed in protecting the country's borders. Ramsay told Townhall people landing on American shores in his jurisdiction used to happen about once a week or a few times a month and it would mainly consist of small groups of four or five. Boats that are landing these days are coming on a near daily basis with larger numbers of people, mainly filled with Haitians and Cubans.

The discovery of classified documents at the Penn Biden Center on Monday set off a bomb in the political arena. Joe Biden, who had recently chastised Donald Trump’s handling of classified information, stating that he couldn’t understand how anyone could “be that irresponsible,” now suddenly had his own scandal to worry about. Things only deteriorated from there. After initially framing the incident as a one-off resulting from hurried packing after Biden’s vice presidency, more documents were “found” in the president’s garage at his Delaware residence. Then, weeks later, yet another document was found in an adjacent room. In reality, almost all of this had already taken place by the time the public

After years of watching the Department of Justice (DOJ) run cover for President Joe Biden and his progressive agenda, many were pleasantly surprised when U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland swiftly moved to appoint former U.S. Attorney Robert Hur as special counsel to investigate the shocking discovery of classified documents found in the President’s Penn Biden Center office and at his Delaware home. But former Kansas AG Phil Klein says we shouldn’t be too quick to celebrate: The “narrow authority” Garland gave Hur is evidence that he’s still covering for the Biden family. (Video) “The substance is not that a special counsel has been picked,”

As The Gateway Pundit reported on Saturday – The US began deporting Brazilian opposition leaders back to Brazil this week and the Lula Gulags. This is taking place at the same time that as evidence was presented that the January 8 riots in Brazilia were staged. US journalist Glenn Greenwald is now complaining about the Communist takeover he helped support and enable. Greenwald was an outspoken critic of President Jair Bolsonaro the past several years. He got what he asked for — criminal Lula is back in charge, the communists are fully in charge and the iron boot of Marxism is taking control of Brazil. Good luck.

The Biden administration has failed to comply with the House Oversight Committee’s investigation into President Joe Biden’s mishandling of top secret documents after promising the “highest standards of transparency” in United States history. In a letter issued by the president on February 4, 2021, Biden vowed the highest standards of transparency would be “revitalized” and implemented within his administration. “In a democracy, the public deserves as much transparency as possible regarding the work of our national security institutions, consistent with legitimate needs to protect sources and methods and sensitive foreign relationships,” Biden’s letter stated. “The revitalization of our national security and foreign policy workforce requires a recommitment to the highest standards of transparency,”

Despite the Department of Defense rescinding the COVID-19 vaccine mandate, unvaccinated military members are still facing repercussions, including denied benefits, ineligibility for promotion, being non-deployable, and potentially diminished employment prospects for those already discharged. (Snip) One of Younts' main concerns is all the unvaccinated reservists who were involuntarily transferred into the Non-Participating Individual Ready Reserve (IRR), a state of limbo in which they can't participate in drills; can't receive military orders, pay or retirement; are ineligible for military healthcare; and have to fully pay life insurance on their own in order to keep it. The guidance these clients are receiving is that they're "out of luck," Younts said

WASHINGTON — The nation's transportation secretary usually holds one of the most public-facing roles in any presidential administration. A core aspect of the Cabinet job is to travel the country, doling out millions of public dollars and attending ribbon-cutting ceremonies for new bridges and overpasses and ports. Even by those standards, Pete Buttigieg has spent an inordinate amount of time in the national spotlight delivering the largesse of the big infrastructure and domestic spending bills. But at the same time, the 2020 Democratic presidential candidate and onetime mayor of South Bend, Indiana, also has been the public face of a string of transportation-related crises, all amid steady speculation

A favorite saying among insiders is that two weeks is a lifetime in politics, meaning anything can happen. In Joe Biden’s case, a mere five days was enough to turn his world upside down. The news Saturday that more classified documents were found in his Delaware home ends a bizarre week that suddenly put Biden’s presidency in peril and further damaged the sagging credibility of the Department of Justice.

As Canada prepares to expand its euthanasia law to include those with mental illness, some Canadians - including many of the country's doctors - question whether the country's assisted death programme has already moved too far, too fast. Dr Madeline Li can recall the first patient she helped die, about one month after Canada first legalised euthanasia in 2016. "I remember just how surreal it was," she said. A psychiatrist at Toronto's Princess Margaret Hospital, she recalled checking on her patient that day, asking if she had the right music and final meal, and if she was sure she wanted to go ahead. The patient, in her mid-60s

Republican Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan is demanding documents from the DOJ related to the appointment of a special counsel to investigate classified documents found in President Joe Biden’s private office and garage. Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed former U.S. Attorney Robert Hur on Jan. 12 to investigate the handling of documents found in the president’s office at the University of Pennsylvania, as well as other documents found in the president’s garage at his Wilmington, Delaware residence. Although the University of Pennsylvania documents were found in November, their apparent mishandling was not made public until Jan. 9.

Dozens of people have been killed after a plane with 72 people on board crashed near an airport in central Nepal. The Yeti Airlines flight from Kathmandu to the tourist town of Pokhara crashed on landing before catching fire. Videos posted on social media show an aircraft flying low over a populated area before banking sharply. At least 68 people are confirmed to have died, officials said. Several critically injured survivors were taken to hospital, unconfirmed reports said. Local resident Deeveta Kal told the BBC how she rushed to the crash site after seeing the aircraft plunge from the sky shortly after 11:00am local time (05:15

Democrats in the Missouri State House had a meltdown this week over an effort by Republicans to clarify the chamber’s dress code. GOP state Rep. Ann Kelley proposed a tweak to the chamber’s existing dress code that required women wear blazers with dresses, skirts, or slacks, and dress shoes or boots — making cardigans now an acceptable jacket. “All we’re trying to do today is to take the same rules that we have and make them more clear,” Rep. Brenda Shields (R) said. The men’s dress code, requiring “business attire, including coat, tie, dress trousers, and dress shoes or boots,” was left unchanged 

The nearly 50,000 Afghans whom President Joe Biden’s administration housed on five United States military bases for months through 2021 and early 2022 cost taxpayers almost $189 million in damages to the facilities, a federal report reveals. Following the U.S. Armed Forces’ withdrawal from Afghanistan in August 2021, Biden opened a refugee pipeline that has resettled more than 86,000 Afghans in American communities — many without having been screened or interviewed in person beforehand. Tens of thousands of those Afghans were housed initially at eight U.S. military bases, including 50,000 who were specifically placed at Fort Bliss in Texas, Fort Lee in Virginia, Fort McCoy in Wisconsin,

Conservatives on social media are aghast the FBI has still not raided President Biden's Delaware residence following the discovery of a fresh trove of classified documents.  Prominent members of the GOP expressed both frustration and disbelief as they questioned why the FBI has not taken action similar to the raid they conducted on former President Trump's Mar-A-Lago property last year. President Biden was back in his home state this weekend and was spotted coming out of St. Joseph on the Brandywine Catholic Church in Delaware on Saturday night.

A homeless Oakland man is in custody and accused of stabbing a beloved mother and United States Post Office worker more than 12 times as she was on her way home from her night shift.  Wilbert Winchester, 28, was arrested shortly after the vicious attack in Dilma Franks-Spruill, 71, in the early hours of Wednesday morning. Two days earlier, Winchester was accused of stabbing a 59-year-old woman on a bus in Oakland.  He is also the suspect in several other similar attacks involving a metal pole and a box cutter that occurred in the same area. 

Mayor Eric Adams has a stacked schedule Sunday in El Paso, Texas — where he’ll set eyes on the border crisis that has his own city stretched to the absolute limit. Hizzoner will spend the day visiting migrant shelters, touring a border patrol processing facility and meeting with local officials including El Paso Mayor Oscar Leeser before flying back home to the Big Apple. He and Leeser — who’s bussed thousands of migrants to New York City — will meet to discuss how the border crisis has affected the local community there, according to Adams’ office.

The majority of Americans have been hypnotized into inaction.  First they were panicked by COVID, then shamed or coerced into taking unproven injections, and finally pacified into thinking "politics" is just a meaningless game where both sides are corrupt. Their only choice has been to put their heads down and resign themselves to trying to survive day to day, paying the bills and raising their children. They know that things are horribly wrong with this country, but they are so confused with conflicting information on so many topics that they don't know what to think.  So they just stop thinking.

My husband and I once got lost in Montana, which is a thing not to do; Montana miles are extra long and one must cover so very many of them to ask directions. It was a Twilight Zone experience. I’m sure that it’s obvious to all thinking Americans that our society is driving through its own Twilight Zone, lost and unable to locate the right highway. Many of us don’t even seem to realize that we’re heading toward a bridge that collapsed ages ago. We have taken ten wrong turns… We have lived in such astounding wealth that we’ve come to assume that

The internet posters are making hay of the news that Joe Biden had classified documents, obtained when he was vice president and some labeled top secret, stored insecurely in his office at the Penn Center at the University of Pennsylvania (funded by the Chinese government), in his home in Delaware, and in his garage at the home where Hunter had resided for some time. I don’t know which post is my favorite but this one by David Burge (Iowahawk) certainly makes my list: “Just got a smokin' deal on a hot rod project from Craigslist, plus it had some free nuclear codes in the glove box.”

Sergey Surovikin has been removed as head of the Russian armed forces in Ukraine and replaced by Valery Gerasimov. Is there a power struggle raging in Moscow? General Sergey Surovikin was commander-in-chief of the "special military operation," as Russia still officially calls its war of aggression against Ukraine, for just three months. On Thursday, Russian Minister of Defense Sergei Shoigu demoted him to deputy commander. He will now answer to Russia's chief of the general staff, General Valery Gerasimov, who will take over the leadership of Russia's military in Ukraine — nominally, at least.

He’s not moving on up to a deluxe office on the East Side — or anywhere else. Rep. Jerry Nadler has not yet opened an office in his newly redrawn 12th Congressional district — more than four months after besting rival Rep. Carolyn Maloney in a bruising August primary. The only publicly listed office in the Big Apple on Nadler’s campaign website is 201 Varick St. in Greenwich Village. The grand Art Deco building, a landmark, was once Nadler territory when he represented the 10th district, but is now represented by his colleague Rep. Dan Goldman.
