A 16-year-old has been charged with shooting at and attempting to kill two police officers in Aurora, Colorado. The incident occurred during a traffic stop on September 17. The local Fox 31 station reports that “the suspect is facing two counts of attempted murder of a peace officer after deliberation, and two counts of attempted murder of a peace officer with extreme indifference, as well as handgun possession by a juvenile.” The suspect, who has not been named, presumably because he is a minor, is being charged as an adult.

A group of British MPs and international lawyers have launched an investigation into the enforced disappearance and detention of former Saudi Crown Prince Muhammed Bin Nayef and Prince Ahmed Bin Abdul. The whereabouts of the two princes are still unknown more than six months after they went missing. They have reportedly been denied access to legal advice, medical care and communication with their family members. The investigation, headed by a cross party group of MPs, has submitted a request to the Saudi government to be granted permission to visit the royals. The group hosted a virtual discussion this afternoon on the […]

Representatives from the largest police union in the United States are calling upon the Biden-Harris ticket to clarify for law enforcement and Americans their thoughts about Antifa. “Vice President Biden said Antifa is an idea. Well, excuse me, but ideas don’t throw bricks at officers’ heads … They don’t hit officers in the head with baseball bats … They don’t throw Molotov cocktails, and they don’t attempt to assassinate police officers,” Joe Gamaldi, National Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) vice president said. “Vice President Biden, frankly, owes an apology to every single law enforcement officer across this country that puts a […]
Two major and relatable statements have been issued Wednesday on the question of US ties with Taiwan and China’s growing anger and increasingly bellicose rhetoric in response. First, the notoriously hawkish editor-in-chief of China’s state-owned news tabloid the Global Times issued a threat, saying China should “fully prepare itself for war” with Taiwan in the event it restores diplomatic relations with the United States. Hu Xijin wrote in his latest opinion piece that “We must no longer hold any more illusions. The only way forward is for the mainland to fully prepare itself for war and to give Taiwan secessionist forces a decisive punishment at any time.” […]

In statements and interviews Wednesday, Senate Democrats continued to express concern about the confirmation process for Barrett and pressed the nominee on her views on the Affordable Care Act, Roe v. Wade, and other key issues. Coons told reporters after his call with Barrett that she did not commit to recusing herself from cases related to the upcoming election. President Donald Trump has publicly suggested that the Senate needs to confirm Barrett before Nov. 3 to ensure that there are nine justices on the court, in the event of a disputed election. “She made no commitment to recusal,” Coons said. “She […]
CNN’s chief medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta criticized President Donald Trump for going to the Oval Office today instead of isolating in the White House residence because he currently has coronavirus on Wednesday’s broadcast of CNN’s “The Lead.” When asked if Trump should be in the Oval Office, Gupta said, “No, he should be in isolation. That is pretty clear, regardless of whether president or anybody if you have coronavirus, there are all sorts of timelines in this sort of thing. It’s not an exact science but at least ten days after people start having symptoms is typically the infectious sort of period. […]

An ad for the Biden-Harris campaign features Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden blurred in the background, as vice president candidate Kamala Harris appears in the foreground in clear focus. A screenshot of the ad, which appeared on the eve of the Mike Pence-Kamala Harris debate, was panned on social media by conservatives, including Jack Posobiec, who pointed out: “Look who is in front and who is blurred out in this ad.” The full video ad, which features a young black girl in awe as she sees Kamala Harris on TV, is somehow almost more cringeworthy than the screen capture: The blurry […]
Authored by Niall Ferguson, op-ed via Bloomberg.com, A Craving for Normalcy Spells the End of a Populist Presidency “America’s present need,” the candidate declared, “is not heroics, but healing; not nostrums, but normalcy… My best judgment of America’s need is to steady down, to get squarely on our feet, to make sure of the right path. Let’s get out of the fevered delirium.” The candidate was the Republican Warren G. Harding and the date was May 14, 1920. Six months later, Harding won a landslide victory over the Democratic nominee, James M. Cox, winning 60% of the popular vote and 404 Electoral […]

(Natural News) A Chinese scientist has come forward with evidence that she says proves the communist Chinese government is responsible for unleashing the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19). Dr. Li-Meng Yan, a medical researcher who works in Hong Kong, recently published an article suggesting that the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) was synthesized in laboratories controlled by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

As talks between the Afghan government in Kabul and the Taliban rebel group continue in Doha, Qatar, one expert recalls to Sputnik that there are many forces working against a peace deal, including the negotiators’ lack of knowledge about anything but war. Nearly seven month since the US arrived at a tentative peace deal with the Taliban, setting the stage for its own withdrawal and for Kabul to also make peace with the Taliban, the two Afghan parties are finally sitting down in Doha, which hosted the previous negotiations. Significant obstacles stand in the way of such a deal, including the […]
There has been one gnawing question that the White House has refused to answer ever since President Donald Trump publicly announced he tested positive for coronavirus last Friday, was hospitalized for three days due to his worsening condition, and returned home this week despite his doctors acknowledging he is “not entirely out of the woods yet”: When was the last time the president tested negative for COVID-19? That question, of course, would inform the public on whether the president was potentially already infected when he participated in last Tuesday’s presidential debate and if he caught the virus during what appears to […]

Joe Biden surrogate Hanoi Jane Fonda celebrated the death of Americans and called Coronavirus “God’s gift to the Left.” The Democrats love communist sympathizer and treasonous Jane Fonda. In 1972 “Hanoi” Jane Fonda applauded an NVA anti-aircraft gun crew during her trip to North Vietnam. These guns were used to shoot down American planes and contributed to the deaths of American Airmen.

Qatar has submitted a formal request to the United States to buy stealthy F-35 fighter jets, three people familiar with the deal said, in a deal that if pursued could strain US ties with Saudi Arabia and Israel, Reuters reports. The request for the Lockheed Martin Co jets was submitted by the Persian Gulf state in recent weeks, the people said. A US State Department spokesman said, “As a matter of policy, the United States does not confirm or comment on proposed defense sales or transfers until they are formally notified to Congress.” The Qatari embassy in Washington, DC did not […]
“It wasn’t wise,” said Rep. Denver Riggleman (R-Va.), who was ousted in a primary by a conservative challenger earlier this year. “You saw that realization when he walked back the comments last night by tweeting about passing a [standalone] Covid aid bill. Now, every GOP candidate lost the argument about COVID relief.” “Unfair or not, it puts Republicans in an awful position,” he added. Trump added to the confusion when, hours after calling off the bipartisan talks on Tuesday, he demanded that Congress pass standalone bills for airline relief, a small business loans program and individual stimulus check — giving lawmakers […]

In a brief statement on Twitter, President Trump praised the healthcare workers that helped him recover (and those across the nation – “we have the greatest people in the world”) claiming that getting COVID-19 “was a blessing from God,” as it enabled him to better understand the virus and its various potential treatments. Specifically, Trump said he thought Regeneron was “the key” to his recovery. “I felt good immediately,” he said in the clip, “I view these – they called them theraputic, but to me it wasn’t theraputic, it just made me better. I call that a cure.” The president then […]

Saudi diplomats, Sikh separatists and Indian business executives have been among those targeted by a group of hired hackers, according to research published on Wednesday by software firm BlackBerry Corp, Reuters reports. The report on the group, known publicly as Bahamut, the name assigned to the mythical sea monster of Arab lore, highlights how cybersecurity researchers are increasingly finding evidence of mercenaries online. BlackBerry’s vice president of research, Eric Milam, said the diversity of Bahamut’s activities was such that he assumed it was working for a range of different clients. “There’s too many different things going on across too many different […]
“There are a number of people in the West Wing, including Johnny McEntee and [retired Lieutenant General] Keith Kellogg, who have respect for him given his credentials and loyalty to the president,” the administration official said of Mizusawa. CIA Press Secretary Tim Barrett said in a statement that Mizusawa “serves as a senior adviser on national security technology, bringing his deep expertise to CIA’s mission. Any notion that he was ‘installed’ here is ridiculous. He went through the normal process for an outside expert hire.” Mizusawa and the White House did not return requests for comment.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) does not include Antifa in its latest assessment of domestic threats to the homeland. The 26-page Homeland Threat Assessment (HTA), dated October 2020, does describe the problem of violent protests, though it emphasizes the threat posed by white supremacist groups and omits the word “Antifa.” As Acting DHS Secretary Chad Wolf notes in a foreword (original emphasis): Domestic violent extremism is a threat to the Homeland.

TESS locates planets by simultaneously monitoring many stars over large regions of the sky and watching for tiny changes in […]
Authored by Mark Glennon via Wirepoints.org, Can you walk across a river with an average depth of five feet? Put in terms that simple, the fallacy of relying on an average should be obvious. Knowing the average doesn’t help. It depends where you cross and how tall you are. But that same fallacy constantly appears in discussion about COVID-19 and policies to fight it. Averages that mean little have been overdone, nationally and here in Illinois. Most recently, the COVID debate is moving in a new direction that demands better awareness of the fallacy of averages. This is important not only […]
…from PressTV, Tehran [ Editor’s Note: Color me surprised. This is the first time I have ever seen a missile ‘disappear’ on launch due to its speed being faster than the eye could see. But it is a long way from having the technology and a good launch, to have enough produced and deployed to enjoy the added defense fruits of the labor. Russia has to operate under the reality of having significantly fewer weapons than the US and NATO. Russia actually decreased its defense budget for the year. The flip side to that is it has significantly lower production costs […]

Gov. Ron DeSantis is doing nothing to prevent the Miami Dolphins from filling their 65,000-person stadium despite Florida’s continued struggle to contain the coronavirus, which has already killed over 15,000 people in the Sunshine State alone. In a stunning decision last month, the Republican governor moved Florida into Phase 3 of the state’s reopening plan, dropping all restrictions on businesses and allowing stadiums to operate at full capacity. That means the NFL team can admit 65,000 fans into Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, regardless of recommendations on social distancing and large group gatherings established by the Centers for Disease Control […]

An energetic Trump supporter dressed up as Biden supporter to get a feel for the excitement surrounding the Biden campaign. She found out there is none. Popular conservative YouTuber “Fog City Midge” went undercover to find support for Joe Biden in Houston, TX.

In a time of unprecedented fiscal stimulus, one would think that the US Treasury would at least be able to afford a recent version of excel or at least calculators. But one would apparently be wrong, because a quick look at the Treasury Direct website’s disclosure of monthly and annual interest paid on Treasury debt reveals something odd. Did you spot it? If not, add across the individual monthly totals and what you should get is full fiscal year total of $517,640,843,766.42. Instead, the stated number is some 30% lower, or $368,102,426,277.71, which would have been appropriate 15 years ago, but […]

One good thing about any serious crisis is how clearly it reveals people’s true selves.

So many people that I hear from can’t understand why I am so “negative” about the future, because they are completely convinced that really great days are just around the corner. As odd as this may sound, we are seeing this sort of wild optimism among both Democrats and Republicans, Christians and atheists, capitalists and communists. Of course about half the country […]

After hospitalizations for Covid-19 nearly tripled over the past month, straining Wisconsin’s healthcare system, Governor Tony Evers has announced the state will open a field hospital outside Milwaukee to handle the surge. Speaking alongside health officials on Wednesday, Evers announced the field hospital would open next week on the state fairgrounds outside Milwaukee. Built months ago, in anticipation of an expected surge in infection, the facility had sat disused until now. According to the state Department of Health Services, just 16 percent of Wisconsin’s hospital beds were available as of Tuesday afternoon. Some 853 patients infected with the coronavirus are hospitalized […]

When his text messages to a woman not his wife leaked last week, Cal Cunningham, the Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate in North Carolina, was immediately thrust into the time-honored cycle of shame, ridicule, evasiveness, and public apology that comes with political scandal. But there was an odd addition to that cycle this time around: profit. As Cunningham’s texts—which included racy gems such as “I kiss back, a lot”—made their way around Twitter and fueled Republican attacks, a number of people responded to the revelations by immediately opening their wallets and forking over cash to the guy who used the phrase […]

Israel has demolished nearly 166,000 Palestinian homes since it was established on the land of Palestine in 1948, a report by the Land Research Centre of the Arab Studies Association in occupied Jerusalem has revealed, adding that more than one million Palestinians have been displaced as a result of the occupation. “During the first nine months of the year 2020, the occupation forces demolished 450 homes and facilities, and also pushed some Palestinians to demolish their homes with their own hands,” the centre added. The report also highlighted that the Israeli regime had adopted the policy of limiting construction by Palestinians, forcing them to resort […]
The White House Correspondents’ Association (WHCA) is urging journalists to essentially abandon White House grounds following the rise in Chinese coronavirus cases among members of President Trump’s circle, the organization detailed in an update posted Wednesday. In the Wednesday update, the WHCA detailed the efforts it has made to provide the “safest possible working environment for journalists at the White House,” listing its move to reduce seating in the White House briefing room and its enforcement of a mask mandate.

Just as US consumer credit appeared to be normalizing, when it rose by a slightly lower than expected $12.250BN in July (since revised to $14.67), something unexpected happened: according to the latest Fed G.19 statement, in August consumer credit tumbled by $7.2BN, far below expectations of a $14BN increase, and the biggest contraction since May. While non-revolving credit posted one more month of relentless growth, it increased by an unexpectedly weak $2.175 billion to a record $3.159 trillion, suggesting that debt-fueled spending on autos slowed drastically. But the big surprise was the latest revolving credit – i.e., credit card – print, […]

US foreign policy does not change when presidents change, regardless of their party or personality. National interests alone normally determine policy. Ultimately, it is the institutions which govern, not the people in power. Nevertheless, presidents have some room to manoeuvre at home and abroad, which is important to allow for changes of course depending on circumstances but without affecting Washington’s major interests. For example, America’s policy on Syria changed when Donald Trump replaced Barack Obama as US President. Obama leaned towards soft diplomacy regarding Iran, which was reflected in a six-party nuclear agreement allowing Tehran to breathe a sigh of relief […]
Radio Free Asia (RFA) reported on Tuesday that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) sentenced Ablikim Kalkun, a popular Uyghur singer and entertainer, to 18 years in prison for “performing songs deemed politically sensitive even though they had been pre-approved by censors.” According to RFA, Kalkun was “briefly detained for reasons that remain unclear in April 2018,” and was secretly sentenced to prison in late 2019 on charges including “separatism, religious extremism, and discriminating against national education.” RFA had to do some digging to learn exactly what happened to Kalkun: A Uyghur employee at a district court in Urumqi told RFA he […]

The fateful armed robbery took place at 5200 block of Aldine Mail Route at I-69 in Houston. Two teenagers approached a man leaving the mall demanding his keys and money at gunpoint.

It’s not exactly clear what the lawyers of bankrupt Hertz were thinking but the first time the company spent a whopping $16.2 million on corporate retention bonuses just one day after it announced it would lay off 10,000 US workers and just days after it filed for Chapter 11, it made front page news.

Lightweight contender Tony Ferguson says that he has to earn his way back to a fight with UFC champion and perennial rival Khabib Nurmagomedov but has hit out at the options offered by the UFC to him to help navigate his journey. The repeated failures to book a fight between 155lbs foes Ferguson and Nurmagomedov has become something of the holy grail in the mixed martial arts landscape. Five times the UFC have attempted to pair the two fighters, and five times it has fallen apart. The most recent instance of this was earlier this year when Nurmagomedov bowed out of […]
(Natural News) The New England Journal of Medicine is getting behind Bill Gate’s nefarious plan to claim ownership over every human being and force vaccinate them indefinitely. The totalitarian plan, released in the prestigious medical journal, reveals strategies to force covid-19 vaccine compliance onto individuals and families through manipulation, coercion, lost income and social ostracizing. Clinical studies have already been conducted to determine the best way to force the population to comply with upcoming experimental RNA-modifying injections. This paper warns that “noncompliance should incur a penalty” which includes isolation and lost income. The paper calls for penalties to be “relatively substantial” […]

BRUSSELS (Sputnik), Luc Rivet – George Soros and his allies in the European parliament are currently celebrating a victory at the European Court of Human Rights against Hungary and its Prime Minister Viktor Orban after the ruling that the country’s law that forced its Central European University out of Hungary contradicts the EU law.

Republicans’ crusade against the French film Cuties, which garnered widespread controversy as it debuted on Netflix last month, just reached a new level of stupidity: A Texas grand jury has indicted the streamer for “promotion of lewd visual material depicting a child.” A press release from the office of Tyler County Criminal District Attorney (and former model and actor) Lucas Babin states that per state law it is illegal to “knowingly promote visual material that depicts the lewd exhibition of the genitals or pubic area of a clothed or partially clothed child, which appeals to the prurient interest in sex and […]

CNN Prime Time anchor Chris Cuomo coldly said on air Tuesday night he wants to violently hurt his critics at the Fox News Channel, saying he wants to put them in a “naked choke” hold and “punch them in the sternum.” Cuomo was talking with Don Lemon during the change of programs at the 10 p.m. Eastern hour. Lemon was trying to explain away the lack of yard signs for Joe Biden compared to Trump signs being seen all around the country by saying that Biden supporters were ignoring President Trump. Odd reasoning, but this is Don Lemon. When Lemon set […]
Qatar’s preparations for hosting the 2022 World Cup have progressed despite the coronavirus pandemic, FIFA president Gianni Infantino said on Wednesday, adding that he was speechless after visiting the Al Bayt stadium, Reuters reports. The 50-year-old visited the 60,000-capacity stadium, designed to resemble a traditional Arab tent, on a flying visit to Qatar and played in a seven-a-side match before meeting local organisers. “Al Bayt Stadium is incredible: a true football stadium,” Infantino said in a FIFA statement. “It has a real football feel and a local touch.

A week after the heated debate with Biden, who raised allegations of Trump’s ties with Moscow that have long been proven false, POTUS ordered the release of all documents related to the so-called Russiagate in a bid to end the longstanding “hoax”. Russia’s President Vladimir Putin has commented on recent allegations by Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden, who accused Trump of being “Putin’s puppy” during the first debate, saying that such remarks only characterise the level of political culture, or lack thereof, of the former US vice president.

Tension between Turkey and the European Union over the Eastern Mediterranean and Ankara’s dispute with Greece and Greek Cyprus, has intensified further recently after the European Commission released a report that pinpointed inconsistencies between Turkey’s foreign policy and the EU’s principles. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan criticised the recent European Union summit, noting that it lacked elements to solve problems between the concerned parties. He indicated that the EU was subject to pressure and blackmail by Greece and Greek Cyprus, despite Turkey’s good intentions, stressing that the EU must not prioritise some state members’ insignificant interests over other major issues. Tensions […]
Joe Biden has consistently refused to release a list or any information about whom he might appoint to the Supreme Court if he were president. During his first debate with President Trump on Tuesday, he once again refused to do so when prodded by President Trump. However, Biden (and the mainstream media) seem unaware that Biden’s refusal to disclose potential judicial picks contradicts his repeated demand that the Senate not proceed on the Amy Coney Barrett nomination. As Biden said during the debate: “The issue is the American people should speak. You’re voting now. Vote, and let your senators know how you feel.” […]
It would also require two negative tests for those returning to the Capitol, a 14-day quarantine for those exposed to coronavirus infections and a 10-day quarantine following a positive test that produces symptoms.

Russian authorities have opened a child torture criminal case against the Sredneuralsk Convent, an Orthodox Christian community run by the controversial excommunicated monk Sergius. The clergyman already has a murder conviction. According to Russia’s Investigative Committee, seven children were systematically beaten and subjected to other violent acts in the monastery, near Yekaterinburg, between 2004 and 2009.
