In a lede that we feel like we are writing on a weekly basis, a Tesla on Autopilot has – once again – slammed into an inanimate police cruiser. The collision took place in Nash County, North Carolina, where a Nash County deputy and a trooper with the highway patrol were on the side of the road attending to another accident.

Their arrest came as a surprise. Was Russia really using mercenary soldiers to overthrow the leader of its closest ally? Everyone knew relations between Moscow and Alexander Lukashenko were strained, but this seemed extreme. That was the claim originally made when 33 members of the ‘Wagner’ Private Security Company were detained by the KGB in Belarus. State news agency Belta alleged that law enforcement sources said […]
(Natural News) Democrats have essentially conceded the election as Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (Demon-Calif.) has just declared, “I don’t think there should be any debates,” absurdly claiming that Joe Biden debating with the President of the United States would “dignify” Donald Trump and therefore cannot be allowed to take place. With this, the Democrats are now conceding the election to Trump, realizing that their […]

The video-sharing app, which has 100 million active users in the United States alone, has fallen victim to the Trump administration’s standoff with China. The president previously accused TikTok, owned by the Chinese company ByteDance, of spying on its users at the behest of Beijing, a claim the company and the Chinese authorities have denied. TikTok will sell its US operations in the coming days as […]
The claim that normalisation with Israel and the establishment of official and public relations between the Arab countries and Tel Aviv is inevitable is nonsense. Such claims are worthless politically, historically and even logically. It is like saying that corruption is an inevitable result of living in a city where everyone is corrupt. If the Arab states’ normalisation with the occupation state is inevitable, why have […]
“In terms of dealing with the courts now, he [Neal] has been strong and persistent and doing exactly what the lawyers say that we have to do in order to prevail,” she said. “He could not do anything more.” “We are at the mercy of the courts.” Her comments come ahead of a primary Neal faces Tuesday against Alex Morse, a challenger endorsed by liberal firebrand […]

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said on Thursday that Congressional Democrats are sticking to their $2 trillion-plus coronavirus relief demands, and has blamed the GOP for refusing to compromise amid the ongoing impasse. “We’re not budging,” Pelosi told Capitol Hill reporters. “They have to move. They have to move.” (Or, they don’t and President Trump will authorize stimulus extensions until the election) “Why should there be […]

But Skylar was only 5 when she instead became the first child in Michigan to die from COVID-19.

The flooding comes despite Ethiopia starting to fill the reservoir behind a giant new dam upstream on the Blue Nile in July. The Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) is expected to help Sudan control future floods. Flooding regularly hits […]
“If they are willing to meet us in the middle, then we can sit down and talk. So this is, ‘You called me? I’m returning your call. Are you ready to bring much more money to the table?’” Talks between the two sides have been essentially nonexistent since negotiations fell apart earlier this month, with a trillion-dollar gulf separating the two parties and messy rounds of […]
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) told reporters on Thursday that there should be no presidential debates between President Trump and Democrat nominee Joe Biden (D), dismissing them as nothing more than an “exercise in skullduggery.” “I myself — don’t tell anybody I told you this.
