President Trump on Friday addressed in greater detail the bizarre events of Sunday and Monday which witnessed two American ex-special forces soldiers attempt to lead a small ‘invasion’ force of Venezuelan defectors and mercenaries into the country. The plot was foiled the minute they came ashore on fishing boats, leading to a propaganda victory for Nicolas Maduro, as he later paraded the American contractors in front of state TV cameras throughout the week. Trump called into Fox & Friends and had some candid remarks, saying “If I wanted to go into Venezuela I wouldn’t make a secret about it.” He again denied that he or the […]
Roddie Bryan of Brunswick, Georgia Trump and Barr are making every effort to contain the investigation into the vicious murder of Ahmaud Arbery who would be 26 years old today. Arbury was gunned down by a semi-official ‘posse’ led by former Chief Investigator for local District Attorney Caroline Small, a Gregory McMichael. The “group” behind this, as is now widely alleged, includes all levels of government and law enforcement in Glenn County, Georgia. However, the current death is only one of many and though the most recent iteration of Klan rule in Brunswick, Georgia is through the local Trump organization, this […]
When Russian quad-jumping prodigy Alexandra Trusova parted ways with her famed coach, Eteri Tutberidze, she was quickly denounced as a traitor by some of her former colleagues.

The guidelines were based on advice and input from AccelerateSC, as well as the Department […]
Twitter is refuting claims from the US State Department’s Global Engagement Center (GEC), which found that it was “highly probable” that the Chinese government is behind networks of Twitter accounts spewing disinformation related to COVID-19. Illustration: Soohee Cho/The Intercept, Getty Images GEC head Lea Gabrielle said that the US “has uncovered a new network of inauthentic Twitter accounts, which we assess were created with the intent to amplify Chinese propaganda and disinformation,” according to CNN. After reviewing 5,000 of 250,000 accounts flagged by the State Department, however, Twitter said the accounts belong to government entities, nongovernmental organizations, and journalists – which, […]
(Natural News) There has been a lot of talk lately about what it means to develop immunity to the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19). But is there really any such thing? According to researchers from Columbia University in Manhattan, some people are developing multiple instances of the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) which, if true, means that immunity to the virus is only temporary at best. Beginning in the fall of 2016 and continuing on into 2018, scientists from the school began collecting nasal swabs from 191 children, teachers and emergency workers. Participants were asked to record every time they sneezed or had sore throats […]

President Trump is not happy with FBI Director Chris Wray and wants to replace him, according to a report earlier this week by Axios. Axios did say that Trump has deferred to AG Bill Barr and likely won’t replace Wray before the 2020 election. Trump’s dissatisfaction with Wray — whom he nominated for the post in 2017 after firing Jim Comey — is nothing new. A source who has discussed the FBI director repeatedly with the president said Trump “has never felt like Wray was his guy” and does not trust him to “change the culture” of the FBI.

Despite more than 33 million Americans filing for unemployment in recent weeks due to the Chinese coronavirus crisis, business is continuing to demand more foreign workers to take jobs in the United States. On Thursday, a coalition of Republican House and Senate lawmakers sent letters to President Trump asking that he expand his immigration executive order to suspend foreign visa worker programs like the H-1B visa, the H-2B visa, the H-2A visa, and the OPT program while millions of Americans remain jobless. Even with unemployment reaching record levels, businesses relying on foreign visa workers continue to claim there is a labor […]
ChinaAid, a religious freedom watchdog group, published a smartphone video this week that showed Chinese officials conducting a violent raid on a church in Fujian province. The invaders assaulted congregants, stole their phones to prevent them from documenting the raid, and dragged people out of the service. Eyewitnesses said police did not present a warrant for the raid. Another clip posted to YouTube on Tuesday captured the aggressive raid from above. The raid was conducted against Xingguang Church in the southeastern city of Xiamen. The venue is one of the famed “house churches” in China, with services held at a private residence. Read […]

“If these kids did not exist in 2019, you can’t currently apply under the CARES Act for the $500 for your dependents because as far as the IRS is concerned, those kids don’t exist yet,” Duckworth said in an interview. “They don’t exist until you file the paperwork with the IRS in 2021.” The Illinois Democrat, whose name has been floated as a potential running mate for Vice President Joe Biden, said her proposal doesn’t affect the CARES package’s total cost. It’s just allowing new parents to claim their benefits sooner. “A lot of families if you’re dual income at least […]

(Natural News) For months, the establishment has been dishing out a narrative claiming that the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) is a natural, albeit mysterious and unexplained, phenomenon that probably originated at a Chinese meat market. But contrary evidence continues to surface suggesting that the virus actually originated inside a Chinese laboratory and research center. Many virologists continue to deny this, of course, claiming that there is no evidence to support the notion that the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) might in any way be unnatural. But the genetic hallmarks they are looking for as proof may not be as evident as previously believed because […]

SEOUL—South Koreans may be proud of their record relegating coronavirus to the status of a relatively minor menace, but the kind of voluntary social distancing called for now is hard. If anyone doubted that, a new outbreak in one of Seoul’s legendary nightclub districts provides an unsettling reminder. South Korea never locked down the way many other countries have, but it did enforce strict rules to keep people from getting so close to each other that the novel coronavirus could run rampant. The fresh outbreak that began last week started in gaudy clubs where the rules of common sense had been […]

Early on during the coronavirus pandemic, the FDA had been criticized for its restrictive approach for testing. As a result, it wound up swinging the other way, allowing virtually any manufacturer to develop and distribute serological (antibody) tests. The agency established that manufacturers simply needed to notify the agency that it was offering tests and include basic boilerplate disclaimers such as the products not being FDA approved. Naturally this led to a flood of fraudulent tests and shoddy products being made available throughout the U.S. and imported from China. There are now about 160 serological tests being marketed across the country […]

And the lawmakers are asking them to return the funds by next week or face a long list of document demands. Advertisement “Since your company is a public entity with a substantial investor […]
The Department of Justice filed a motion Thursday to drop charges against former National Security Advisor (NSA) Michael Flynn. Democrats and the media claim the decision was the result of “politicization” at the DOJ. But there was no way for the DOJ to proceed after several bombshell revelations in the past several days. Here are seven things you need to know about the new developments — and what happens next in the saga: Last week: 1. New documents suggest the FBI laid a trap for Flynn. In February, Attorney General William Barr appointed U.S. Attorney Jeffrey Jensen to review the prosecution against […]
ABC’s Left-wing late-night host Jimmy Kimmel is getting blasted for airing a deceptively edited video implying that Vice President Mike Pence was faking his recent effort to help a health care facility. In addition to social media backlash, journalists at NBC News and Buzzfeed News called out Kimmel for putting out “misleading” and “selective” video, adding that the original C-SPAN footage disproves his claim. Vice President Pence was seen on Thursday delivering boxes of personal protection equipment to a health care facility in Alexandria, Virginia. At the end of the version that aired on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the vice president is […]
Record-Watch: For the first time ever, more than half the US population is not working; over 76,000 Americans dead from COVID-19; the US economy is contracting at record pace; earnings expectations are collapsing at near record pace; interest-rates at record lows (and imputing negative rates by year-end); and stocks are soaring at their fastest pace ever… As we noted earlier, there was one especially scary aspect of today’s jobs report that has not gotten enough publicity, namely that as BofA writes, the employment to population ratio plunged to a record low, with only 51.3% of the population working. Inversely, this means […]

Russian MMA fighter Dmitry ‘Anubis’ Kuznetsov has revealed scorned fans threatened he would receive “a bullet in the head” in response to releasing a diss track titled ‘Hypocrisy King,’ aimed at UFC champ Khabib Nurmagomedov. Kuznetsov released the rap song in a dig at Khabib in April, and later took to Instagram to claim he had been attacked by fans furious at the track’s disrespect toward the UFC lightweight champion. In an interview with RT, Kuznetsov detailed the torrent of abuse he has faced in the aftermath, including death threats and physical beatings, which he says are forcing him to move. Also on […]

From the beginning of the coronavirus crisis, various entities in the United States were always engaged in the kind of dishonesty we accuse China of to hide the extent of the virus.

Palestinian leaders on Friday vowed to defy a new Israeli military order which they fear could lead to the confiscation of money destined for prisoners, their relatives and the families of those killed in unrest, Reuters reports. Israel has long sought to end the payments, made by the Palestinian Authority to around 11,000 individuals and families. The Palestinians consider them stipends for victims of Israeli occupation, but Israel calls the payments a reward for violence. With a new Israeli military order set to take effect on Saturday threatening fines and jail for anyone who facilitates such payments, Palestinian banks had begun […]

The head of the World Health Organization (W.H.O.), Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, applauded Venezuela’s socialist regime for “sharing [its] staged approach” towards the Chinese coronavirus pandemic, omitting the fact the country is responsible for one of the worst humanitarian crises in the world. Tedros, the first non-medical doctor running the public health agency, made the remarks on Twitter, where he thanked the leadership of various countries around the world for cooperating with the W.H.O. as part of their response to the outbreak. “My thanks to Carlos Alvarado Gonzalez, Venezuelan Health Minister, for sharing Venezuela’s staged approach for fighting #COVID19 [the Chinese coronavirus]: before and after cases, […]
A group of Democrats – whose mostly white, middle-class, college-educated supporters who derive most of their understanding of contemporary politics and the economy from memes – is pushing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy to include a “universal, one-time, student loan debt cancellation of at least $30,000 per borrower in the next round of COVID-19 relief legislation.” So-called Democratic socialists love to drone on about how policies like universal health-care and student loan forgiveness are “popular” (that is, according to several questionably worded surveys), but the truth is, the overwhelming majority of Americans aren’t currently paying down student […]
(Natural News) The Trump administration is paying huge numbers of people more money to not work than they used to make at their jobs, so even as economies attempt to reopen, small businesses can’t find anyone who wants to work. Why should they work, after all, when they’re collecting more money to not work? How exactly is the US economy supposed to ever return to normalcy when workers are now being paid by the federal government to avoid working, even when jobs are available and small businesses are hiring? “Businesses looking for a quick return to normal are running into a […]

Sometimes animals go deep into dreamland as well, as a unique canine recently demonstrated. Footage shared on YouTube by ViralHog captures a Saint Bernard residing in Fraser, Michigan, deep in his sleep on his back – mouth wide-open and grasping one of his paws. Despite his owner’s futile attempts to gently wake the slumbering pup, he hilariously continues to dream on with absolutely no reaction whatsoever. “Just another day waking up next to […]

An elderly woman in Webster, New York, is feeling loved after her community gave her a huge surprise on Thursday. When Mary Jane Hastings tested positive for the coronavirus nearly two weeks ago, her family began to worry, according to USA Today. “We were scared to death. It was our worst nightmare,” said Hastings’ daughter Linda, who is one of her eight children. Prior to her diagnosis, Hastings’ brother, Joe Maid, passed away after contracting the illness. He was 98-years-old. Although Hastings was in overall good health, she did have mild chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) which caused Linda and her siblings concern that if […]
During his appearance on the Joe Rogan podcast, Elon Musk said he sympathized with the anti-globalization movement because “we don’t want ever want everywhere to be the same.” The context of the conversation was how civilizations rise and fall and are negatively affected by hive mind thinking, a concept Musk referred to as the “mind virus.” “I do think that the globalization that we have at the memesphere – there’s not enough isolation between countries or regions. If there’s a mind virus, that mind virus can infect too much of the world,” said Musk. “I actually sort of sympathize with the […]

Authored by James Howard Kunstler via Kunstler.com, “I Sent Them!” “Our utter incompetence actually helps us,” declared Deputy Assistant Director of the FBI Peter Strzok to his confident (10,000 text messages) and paramour, FBI attorney Lisa Page, when he discovered on January 4, 2017, that the agency had omitted to close the barren Crossfire Razor case against General Michael Flynn.

I don’t know what to think about this crowd. Their point is ???? Health Editor’s Note: Preachers are suing to be able to gather people together and insure the congregations either infect others, become infected, or both with COVID-19. I ask, what is the purpose of gathering people together to listen to someone speak about…well, whatever is going to be said? Words spoken from a pulpit are not going to protect people from COVID-19 nor cure them of having it. Governors who place stay-at-home orders and then extend those orders are doing what is best for the state. The governors are […]

AG Bill Barr US Attorney General Bill Barr blasted James Comey during an interview Thursday with CBS’s Catherine Herridge and said the FBI tried to lay a “perjury trap” for General Flynn.

Tara Reade now has seven — seven — pieces of corroboration that back up her claim that Joe Biden sexually assaulted her in 1993, and the national media are not responsible for uncovering a single one of them. A kind way to put it would be to say the national media are inept and useless. That would be a lie. To a certain point, there’s no question the corporate media are inept and useless. But in the case of Tara Reade, the media are once again proving just how corrupt and evil they are. The seven pieces of corroboration come down […]

On Thursday we noted that April orders for class 8 heavy trucks fell a staggering 73% year over year, and 44% from March – the worst order numbers on record as coronavirus shutdowns have put the trucking industry on the cusp of a “freight cliff” according to a FEMA report obtained by Politico. Unsurprisingly, truck drivers have suffered an absolute bloodbath – losing approximately 88,300 jobs in April alone, according to Business Insider, which notes that it’s the largest single-month loss of trucking jobs on record (with records going back to 1990). April wiped out all trucking employments gained during the […]
