Ford has officially beat Tesla to the electric pickup truck finish line. As the legacy auto manufacturer produces its first F-150 Lightning, the Cybertruck is nowhere to be seen. Nicholas Schmidt of Standish, Michigan became the first owner, officially, of Ford’s new electric pickup truck this week, a new Bloomberg report notes. And the best part? He had a reservation for both a Cybertruck and had considered a Rivian R1T. But the F-150 beat them both to his driveway, where it will replace his gas powered F-150. He said of the Cybertruck reveal at the time: “Nobody could believe it because […]
(Natural News) The FBI’s fingerprints are all over the Buffalo mass shooting. A local news report from the Buffalo News has linked a retired federal agent to the shooting because he apparently knew about it at least 30 minutes before it occurred.

The former agent, along with at least six other individuals, engaged with Gendron in an online chat room “where racist hatred was discussed,” the Buffalo News reported.

You can say what you want about Elon Musk’s business practices at Tesla over the last decade, but he sure seems to be spot on when it comes to his view on macro nowadays.

We’re not sure Musk would have felt the same way just a couple of years ago when Tesla was reportedly on the verge of bankruptcy, but those days have passed. Discussing the economy […]
Researchers have discovered highly reactive trioxides that could pose hazard to human health Scientists have discovered highly reactive chemical compounds that are formed under natural atmospheric conditions but could pose a threat to human health and the environment. While the existence of these compounds – called trioxides and consisting of three oxygen atoms bound together – had been theorized, researchers from the University of Copenhagen confirmed their presence in the air in a paper published Thursday in the journal Science. Trioxides are extremely flammable and explosive. They are formed through the atmospheric decomposition of common substances emitted into the atmosphere, such […]

Whatever the voters decide in November, one thing is certain. Mitch McConnell will be there as the Republican leader to enforce his party’s obstructionism on immigration and climate and voting rights, and to make sure a Democratic president doesn’t get any legislative wins. You can add gun safety to that list. Unless McConnell has an epiphany after the horror in Uvalde, Texas, where an 18-year-old gunman entered an elementary school to murder 19 children, expect absolutely no legislative action to address these shamefully common tragedies. Fred Guttenberg, whose 14-year-old daughter Jamie was killed in the 2018 Parkland school shooting, called McConnell […]

It appears to be a dirty political trick that was used first to hobble him and then potentially to drive him from office,” Barr said on an upcoming […]

So far, the New Mexico fire has destroyed 330 homes and scorched some 500 square miles. The cost of battling the blaze has surpassed $130 million, and rises another $5 million each day, […]

(Natural News) For “The Right Side” host Doug Billings, the Democratic Party is no more. There’s not the slightest hint of what it used to be and what it used to represent. “I’ve told this many times on this program, the Democratic Party, the Democratic Party of John F. Kennedy, of Bill Clinton; the Democratic Party of Barack Obama is dead, especially in the elected class in the United States. It has been replaced by the Communist Socialist Party — taking the first part of communism, last part of socialism — [the] Communist Socialist Party of America. And they are […]

Joe Biden is reportedly preparing to cancel student loan debt for borrowers up to $10,000 per person. Of course, none of this debt will actually be cancelled, it will just be transferred to taxpayers. This is nothing more than a bailout for people who took on debt voluntarily.

President Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is continuing to not screen Afghan arrivals to the United States for potential terrorism ties through the Department of Defense’s “tactical database,” according to Republican senators. Following the U.S. Armed Forces’ withdrawal from Afghanistan in August 2021, Biden opened a refugee and parole pipeline for tens of thousands of Afghans to quickly be flown into American communities without being screened or interviewed in person beforehand. As Breitbart News reported, a Department of Defense (DOD) Inspector General report reveals that Biden’s agencies failed to properly vet Afghans arriving in the U.S. As of November 2021, the report […]

UVALDE, TEXAS–As families in this rural town prepare to bury the 19 children and two adults gunned down in a brutal school massacre this week, they are left shell-shocked by not only the devastation the gunman wrought, but by the revelation that, as they see it, those who were sworn to protect and serve them did just the opposite. “While those babies were in there dying, they stood there with their thumbs in their asses trying to figure out what to do,” said Roger Garza, a friend of the family of teacher Irma Garcia, who was killed by the gunman as […]

At the ongoing globalist World Economic Forum gathering of elitists in Davos, Switzerland, Bond villain wannabe Klaus Schwab and Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla sat down to discuss their “groundbreaking” plans to distribute vaccines globally while attacking those they describe as ‘conspiracy people’ and ‘anti-vaxxers’ who resist. Bourla told Schwab that his company has ensured governments in Europe and the U.S. will continue to protect pharmaceutical companies against lawsuits if vaccines they sell are “not working out well.” “With any other medicine, for example, we don’t ask anyone to do anything with liabilities,” Bourla said, adding “but with a vaccine, we knew […]
This has got to be one of the all time best forthcoming wakeup calls we’ve ever seen. A new survey published by Acorns last week revealed that half of millennials think they’ll need just $300,000 to “retire comfortably”. As the piece notes, this is obviously a fraction of what they will actually need to retire in comfort. Gen X and Gen Z had slightly higher estimates, guessing that they would need $500,000 to retire, while boomers have a clearer picture and understand they would need closer to $750,000 to retire. Catherine Collinson, CEO and president of the Transamerica Institute, who conducted […]

James Comer (R-KY) said that school security measures that Kentucky adopted to prevent school shootings have worked and that investing in these improvements would get bipartisan support in Congress. Comer also argued that “We also need to make sure that law enforcement are properly trained. And that’s something that is coming into question here with what happened in Texas a few days ago.” Comer stated, “I know in Kentucky, we had a terrible school shooting a couple of years ago. And we made […]

On Friday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “The Story,” House Oversight and Reform Committee Ranking Member Rep.

Commentary by Charles Lipson via RealClear Politics (emphasis ours), Modern political scandals, like Caesar’s Gaul, are divided into three parts. The first is the actual malfeasance. That might be taking bribes, lying to federal agents, leaking classified materials, sexual misconduct, selling political access, whatever. The second part is the hyper-partisan involvement of Congress and, often, federal agencies, all eager to score points for their side. The third part is the media’s role, which goes beyond bias to include active promotion of political goals. Federal agencies, like all bureaucratic institutions, have always tried to increase their power and preserve their autonomy. What’s […]
