“I jumped in it and I just basically clawed my way to the center,” the chief recalled. When he finally got to the middle of the river, Foligno said, “I reached in and grabbed the baby first to pull her away from the mother, and I guess instinctively, she just wouldn’t let go, so I had to pull really hard to get her into the boat.” Firefighters at the scene eventually made it out to them and brought the kayak back to shore. “I can’t imagine how they lasted that long. For the 20 or 25 minutes I was out there in […]

Submitted by Joseph Carson, former chief economist at Alliance Bernstein Suppose Congress passes something close to Biden’s Administration stimulus proposal of $1.9 trillion. In that case, that will lift the cumulative amount of fiscal stimulus in the past 12 months to $5 trillion—three tranches $2.2 trillion, $900 billion, and $1.9 trillion. In the past year, nominal GDP totaled $21 trillion, so the cumulative injection of fiscal stimulus amounts to almost 25%. Nothing in modern times comes close, especially during peace times. CBO published a report in 2010 on the military costs of significant wars. The military war costs of World War […]
Nevada Governor Steve Sisolak is trying to lure high-tech firms into his state with an offer to allow them to effectively form independent governments at the county level, capable of levying taxes and even forming courts. Companies with an “innovative technology” are being offered a chance to try their hand as miniature sovereign states, according to new state legislation seen by the Las Vegas Review-Journal on Wednesday. While Sisolak hinted at the idea during his State of the State address last month, few details have been made public until now. These so-called “Innovation Zones” are being marketed to lure tech companies […]

Binance has temporarily suspended deposits in Nigerian naira – the country’s local fiat currency – in response to a Friday letter from Nigeria’s central bank (CBN) instructing local banks to identify and close all accounts tied to cryptocurrency platforms or operations. The CBN letter told local banking institutions that dealing in cryptocurrencies or facilitating payments for cryptocurrency exchanges is prohibited under a 2017 circular stating bitcoin (BTC) and other cryptocurrencies are not legal tender in the country. While the move might impact fiat on- and off-ramps, most of the nation’s crypto trading occurs on peer-to-peer platforms and remains unaffected, according to […]
The US economy created only 49,000 net jobs in January following a decline of 227,000 in December according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. While the unemployment rate tumbled from 6.7 percent to 6.3 percent, about half of the decline was due to workers dropping out of the job market, too discouraged to look for work. There were fewer jobs created than jobs that were killed off by Joe Biden in his first week in office. As The Gateway Pundit previously reported—On his first day in office Joe Biden killed off an estimated 52,100 American jobs. TRENDING: Exclusive: The TCF Center […]
The Arab Organisation for Human Rights in the UK (AOHR UK) has today condemned the Egyptian regime of General turned President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi's denial of adequate medical treatment for detainees in its prisons. In a statement AOHR UK highlighted the case of three prisoners who died within 24 hours of each other as a result of a lack of adequate medical care while in prison.

White House press secretary Jen Psaki defended President Joe Biden’s trip to Delaware this weekend, even as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) advised Americans not to travel during the coronavirus pandemic. “He’s from Delaware and has a home there and is going to spend the weekend with his wife and family there,” she said. Associated Press reporter Zeke Miller questioned Psaki why Biden was traveling just hours after the CDC repeated their recommendation not to travel during the pandemic. “In order to keep these trends moving in the right trajectory, we must continue to wear masks, continue to […]
Space is the next frontier and the most critical domain for near-peer competition with Russia and China. As a former member of the Senate Armed Services Committee and former chairman of the Strategic Forces subcommittee, I believe that the integrated mission of the U.S. Space Command is critical to our future security. Like all centralized military commands, Space needs a headquarters location, and last year the U.S. Air Force embarked on a metrics-based process to determine which state would best suit the mission. Unfortunately, on the way out the door — and with politics, not process in mind — it appears […]
Marjorie Taylor Greene represents Georgia’s 14th Congressional District. But before she had even taken her freshman oath, she faced cancellation from a left mad with power and political paranoia using her as an example to cancel the entire GOP in order to further the authoritarian socialist government the left is obsessed with becoming. Now, Greene has had her House Education and Labor Committee position stripped after an epic display of hypocrisy and the power to rush and crush the process of the legislature. If members found Greene’s rhetoric offensive going forward they could vote on it then. Where are the votes […]
Authored by Jonathan Turley, Below is my column in the Hill on the trial briefs filed by the House and the Trump team for the second Trump impeachment trial. The brief of the House promises an emotionally charged but legally insufficient case for conviction. Indeed, there is no evidence that the “prosecution” is designed to win the trial since the House offers little on the issue of intent. Conversely, if Donald Trump insists on arguing election fraud, he could conceivably engineer his own conviction. Rather the strategy on both sides seems to be to enrage the emotions of viewers rather than […]

For the first year of the Space Force’s existence, officials called members of the new service “space professionals” while they came up with a permanent name, akin to soldier, sailor, airman and Marine. The service crowd-sourced suggestions from the military space workforce for what to name members of the branch. In December, Vice President Mike Pence announced members of the new service would be called Guardians, which immediately became the butt of jokes on social media because of the similarity to the “Guardians of the Galaxy” movies. But the Space Force had more science fiction-inspired names it could have picked. Fleet […]

The most widely read English-language newspaper in Saudi Arabia published an op-ed by Israeli writers for the first time yesterday. The Arab News carried an article by Dr Hay Eytan Cohen Yanarocak and Dr Jonathan Spyer. The article looked at Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's "increasingly authoritarian" rule and alleged establishment of a private militia network made up of fighters from the Syrian civil war. It was, apparently, the result of joint research with an independent think tank called Trends, based in Abu Dhabi. "Their [private Syrian militias'] role is to advance [Erdogan's] grand plan of re-establishing influence over a region […]

Authored by Tom Ozimek via The Epoch Times, Pennsylvania lawmakers have put forward a largely partisan bill that would grant drivers’ licenses to illegal aliens. Sponsored by 27 House Democrats and 2 Republicans, House Bill 279 is currently pending in the House Transportation Committee. The bill would let people without a Social Security number, including those living in the United States illegally, obtain a driver’s license or a learner’s permit. “In today’s fast-paced world, a driver’s license is essential to earn a living, travel safely, and live a dignified existence,” the sponsors wrote in a January memo.

(Natural News) One of the most repugnant, depraved aspects of vaccination is that many vaccines were developed using strategically harvested organs from aborted babies. The original scientist, who helped develop the first human diploid cell line for vaccine development, admits that dozens of babies were strategically aborted to find a suitable cell line for virus replication. The act of multiplying viruses in cell cultures is fundamental to the science of vaccination because the viruses must be attenuated (weakened) before they are cultured and introduced via needle into the person’s body. Inventor of rubella vaccine spearheaded the use of aborted fetal cells […]

Authored by Blackbeard Research via RealInvestmentAdvice.com, I submit to you that there is a difference between “money” and “currency.” What is the purpose of currency? Currency is the medium by which an economy can transmit economic value between its agents and standardize the exchange of unlike items; that is, currency establishes a system that improves upon barter economics. In its truest sense, currency is a voucher of retained economic productivity. When a person does labor that brings economic value, or transfers items of economic value, the currency they receive serves as “verification” economic contributions have been accumulated or transferred to another party.

During the Trump administration lawsuits were filed against the agency for NOT protecting the public from unsafe levels of cell phone and WiFi radiation as well as 5G on Earth (see 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) and in space. High-speed internet is achievable, safer and more secure with a wired internet connection (see 1, 2, 3) – not 5G or WiFi (see 1, 2, 3). Americans have paid to […]
In 1924, King Camp Gillette—the inventor of the disposable razor blade—coauthored a book with Upton Sinclair, the progressive journalist famous for triggering the pure foods movement after publishing The Jungle, a muckraking account of the meat-packing industry. Sinclair was lending his writing talents to Gillette in the hopes of offering a more persuasive case for an idea that Gillette had been advocating since his first book, The Human Drift, published thirty years prior. Gillette’s idea, which he formulated long before he founded his razor blade company, was to bring about a socialist utopia by means of a giant corporation. Their corporation would vertically […]
The Kremlin has blasted what a spokesman called “aggressive and unconstructive rhetoric” after President Biden in a Thursday key foreign policy address from the State Department demanded the immediate release of dissident activist and politician Alexei Navalny. Underscoring that Moscow will ignore and rebuff such measures to interfere in internal legal matters, the spokesman said Friday, “This is a very aggressive and unconstructive rhetoric, unfortunately,” and added, “any hints of an ultimatum are absolutely unacceptable to us,” according to TASS. During the Thursday speech outlining his foreign policy vision, Biden said that “we will not hesitate to raise the costs on Russia” while specifically invoking Navalny […]
(Natural News) The military-industrial complex is doubling down on its crusade against free expression, warning that the First Amendment should no longer be tolerated because it threatens “national security.” Citing the Jan. 6 “insurrection” against the United States Capitol as proof, Divya Ramjee and Elsa B. Kania, writing for the Pentagon’s Defense One blog, contend that all online free speech needs to be filtered by a Ministry of Truth in order to prevent the type of “disinformation and incitements to violence” that led to the Capitol false flag attack. “The events of January 6 showed existing approaches to quell disinformation and […]

The ongoing coronavirus pandemic has been responsible for an increase in conflicts and the heightened threat from terrorist groups, UN experts have claimed in a report released yesterday. The panel of experts evaluated that the risk of violence in conflict zones increased significantly throughout the second half of 2020. The primary reason is said to be that militants were able to operate easily and move freely despite lockdown restrictions affecting local populations, including security personnel. According to the panel, militant groups affiliated with Al-Qaeda continue to operate in Syria while cells belonging to the Daesh terror group remain in both Iraq […]
“Now, I have a lot of free time on my hands,” she added, “which means I can talk to a whole lot more people all over this country, and I can talk to more people and make connections and build a huge amount of support.” Greene’s news conference is the latest flare-up in the weeklong controversy over the congresswoman, which erupted last Tuesday after CNN’s KFile and Media Matters for America reported on some of her past social media activity indicating support for executing prominent Democrats and QAnon conspiracy theories. But Greene’s embrace of those dangerous claims had been public knowledge […]

PARIS — The French city of Toulouse is to be NATO’s new center for excellence in military space. The decision was taken by NATO on Jan. 28 but was officially announced Feb. 4. Germany had also lobbied to host the center, which will be set up at the CST (Centre Spatial de Toulouse), which is also to be the headquarters of France’s Military Space Command, on the site of France’s national space studies center known as CNES.

By Matt Agorist HR127, known as the Sabika Sheikh Firearm Licensing and Registration Act introduced by Rep. Jackson Lee, Sheila [D-TX-18], is, without a doubt, the most tyrannical gun control bill ever proposed. Like all gun control measures, this bill would hit the poor and minority communities the hardest. Its massive scope would also turn tens of millions of legal, law abiding gun owners into felons overnight. As TFTP reported in December, before Joe Biden took office, his administration has major plans for eviscerating the Second Amendment. Biden has been an outspoken gun grabber, and on his campaign website, he’s stated […]
While some in the media questioned President Trump’s rhetoric about “counting on the military” to handle the national vaccination effort (even though soldiers were largely deployed behind the scenes anyway, as the NYT once reported) they remain seemingly supportive as CNN reports the Biden Administration is expected to copy President Trump’s rollout plan, and deploy 1K+ soldiers to assist with the US vaccination effort nationwide. The plan reportedly calls for the troops to form into five teams to travel to designated sites around the country, presumably areas where health-care systems are most under-staffed/overwhelmed. The orders are expected to call for the […]
Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho has admitted that the pressure on him is rising after his side failed to impress in a home defeat to old club Chelsea, with the Portuguese also under fire for bizarre remarks made to a female reporter. A first-half penalty from Jorginho was enough to hand Spurs their third successive Premier League defeat and their second home loss on the trot – the first time in Mourinho’s entire Premier League career that he has emerged pointless from two successive home games. What was more worrying for Spurs fans, though, was the manner of performance. With an ankle injury depriving […]

In parallel with vehicle and test stand preparations for a second Green Run Hot-Fire test later in February, the NASA Space Launch System (SLS) Program and Core Stage prime contractor Boeing are reviewing rule changes for the full, eight-minute firing. The Core Stage hardware and software executed the first-ever final countdown, engine start, and “plus count” firing well past T0 in the first test on January 16, but some pre-test predictions by analytical models did not match the integrated system behavior leading to the stage’s first-ever safe shutdown before critical test objectives could be attempted or completed. SLS engineers will re-calibrate […]

A hot microphone caught House Judiciary Democrats making fun of Republican Representative Matt Gaetz’s request to have the committee recite the Pledge of Allegiance at the beginning of hearings as a way of showing the country that Congress can unite and work together. Rep. Gaetz proposed the idea but Rep. Jerry Nadler said it was “unnecessary” because the House begins everyday with the Pledge. Rep. Burgess Owens spoke out and said, “15 seconds to show our kids that…we can agree to disagree, but we love our country enough to at least stand and represent our flag.” “Let’s stand, let’s pledge our […]
Kazakhstan's Foreign Ministry said yesterday that it evacuated 12 of its citizens, including seven children, from Syria. The ministry added that the repatriation process came through the country's intelligence agency, the National Security Committee. Of those returned, the ministry explained, citizens who were involved in terrorist acts will face trial, while women and children will be placed in a rehabilitation programme. Two of the evacuated children are orphans. In 2019, Kazakhstan launched a campaign to return its citizens who had been involved in terrorist activities in Syria.

President Joe Biden sounded a dark note on the future of the economy Friday, after a bleak jobs report came out. The United States economy added 49,000 jobs in December with only 6,000 jobs in the private sector, according to the latest report released Friday morning. “At that rate, it’s going to take ten years to get back to full employment,” Biden said. “That’s not hyperbole, that’s a fact.” The president spoke while meeting with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and House Democrats in the Oval Office to discuss his $1.9 trillion coronavirus spending plan. “This is about people’s lives, it’s not […]
WASHINGTON —The Biden administration has canceled two precision guided munition sales to Saudi Arabia as part of a new policy aimed at curtailing violence in Yemen, Defense News has learned. The deals could have worth as much as $760 million. However, that policy, announced Thursday by President Joe Biden, left open the possibility for future sales that are considered vital for Saudi Arabia’s national defense, a fine line that would mean some munitions sales will continue. “We are ending all American support for offensive operations in the war in Yemen, including relevant arms sales,” Biden said during a speech at the […]

Authored by Mark Tapscott via The Epoch Times, An amendment offered by Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) to prohibit increasing the federal minimum wage while the nation continues grappling with the CCP Virus was unanimously adopted by the Senate late Thursday. “Adopted by voice vote: Ernst Amendment #767 (Re: Prohibit the increase of the federal minimum wage during a global pandemic) in relation to S.Con.Res.5, Sanders Budget Resolution,” the Senate GOP Floor Monitor tweeted shortly before midnight. The Sanders Budget Resolution was offered by Senate Budget Committee Chairman Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) as a means of allowing Senate Democrats to adopt President Joe Biden’s $1.9 trillion CCP virus recovery proposal […]
(Natural News) Democrats are the party of make believe. (Article by J. Peder Zane republished from RealClearPolitics.com) Through their domination of the media, academia, Hollywood, and growing swaths of corporate America, they successfully peddle propaganda as reality. They insisted President Trump was a dictator and a treasonous ally of Vladimir Putin who refused to denounce white supremacy. They dismissed questions about the business dealings of President Biden’s family as “Russian disinformation” that had been “totally discredited.” When investigations and fact checks revealed those claims to be false, they just kept on repeating them. Tell a lie long and loud enough and […]

A UN-led Libya forum today selected an interim government via a vote, choosing Mohammed Al-Menfi as presidency council head and Abdulhamid Dabaiba as prime minister, Reuters reported. Their list won with 39 votes versus 34 for their rivals: eastern-based parliament chief Aguila Saleh and western-based interior minister Fathi Bashagha as prime minister. "On behalf of the United Nations I am pleased to witness this historic moment," said UN acting Libya envoy Stephanie Williams, who was interrupted by applause. Speaking earlier this week and outlining the reason for the vote, Williams said the primary task of the "temporary unified executive authority" was to take […]
During a Friday appearance on FNC’s “Fox & Friends First,” Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) sounded off on Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s (D-NY) “dishonest” account of the U.S. Capitol riot in January. Mace has challenged Ocasio-Cortez’s account of the story because their offices are two doors down from each other, and she argued that the “insurrectionists never stormed our hallway.” Mace acknowledged that what transpired on Jan. 6 was “a very scary experience” but criticized “AOC” for politicizing the event in the way that she has. She added that “no one should tolerate” her dishonesty. “I own facts and not fiction. And when […]
COLOGNE, Germany – The German defense ministry will leave planned air-defense investments and other high-profile programs involving U.S. vendors unresolved in the final months of the Merkel government, officials have told lawmakers. A Feb. 3 list of “important” but unfunded programs, as officials wrote, includes several trans-Atlantic defense efforts that have been simmering for some time. As a result, American contractor behemoths Lockheed Martin and Boeing are left to wait until a new government re-litigates Germany’s defense-acquisition posture sometime after the Sept. 26 election. Lockheed Martin, along with MBDA Deutschland, has been gunning for a contract on the TLVS missile-defense program […]

Now that the “huge gamma strike” at 3800 has been blown away, the next big Call Wall for the S&P500 is at 3900 with SpotGamma noting that “a very large Combo resistance bar at 3905.” However, now that momentum is again solidly higher and markets have pushed into the 3850-3900 range, positive gamma has increased in the S&P complex to a fairly robust $1.5BN, meaning that the higher stocks ramp, the more buying interest there will be as dealers rush to delta hedge. As SpotGamma further notes, such a high gamma reading is a rare high for the post-Covid era as […]
