Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) is so determined not to know whether or not he is carrying a dangerously contagious disease that he is outright refusing to get tested for it. And yet on Fox & Friends Monday morning, just minutes before the Senate Judiciary Committee chair was set to begin the hearings to confirm Judge Amy Coney Barrett for the Supreme Court, Graham insisted that those hearings were completely safe. When Fox host Steve Doocy noted that the chairs set up behind Judge Barrett were not “socially distant,” Graham let out a small laugh and said he hoped they would be […]

At least seven mail-in military ballots marked for President Donald Trump were found discarded in Pennsylvania, the Justice Department has confirmed. Trump also called attention to thrown-out absentee ballots in Wisconsin. The DOJ confirmed local reports that nine military mail-in ballots had been recovered by investigators in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania on Thursday. Seven had been marked for Trump, and two were sealed in their envelopes, with the voter’s selection not visible. Not all of the ballots could be attributed to specific voters. The department’s inquiry is reportedly “ongoing,” and US Attorney David Freed promised to share the results with county officials […]
With the Pentagon reportedly set to shutter the US military’s long-running newspaper, President Donald Trump has stepped in to declare Stars and Stripes safe from closure. However, that closure has been in the works for months. According to a Pentagon memo reported by several US outlets on Friday, the US military’s newspaper, Stars And Stripes, will cease operations this month, and publish its last copy by September 30. As the news broke, Trump took to Twitter to declare the newspaper – first published in 1861 – safe. “The United States of America will NOT be cutting funding to @starsandstripes magazine under […]
It seems that the Catalan team, which the Argentinian ace has been playing for since his teen years, could be about to make his rumoured departure incredibly difficult for him. Responding to rumours about Lionel Messi’s potential transfer, FC Barcelona firmly believes their captain is not up for sale, a Mundo Deportivo report has it, suggesting that the Catalan side sees Messi as “untransferable” and that the team is unlikely to let the top forward go. This is due to Messi’s eye-watering €700 million release clause, which appears to be a fee that will need to be matched for the 33-year-old […]
In an interview with Axios that aired Monday on HBO, US President Donald Trump made several false claims related to the COVID-19 pandemic as he scrambled to appeal to his base, Max Blumenthal, a bestselling author and journalist whose latest film is “Killing Gaza,” told Sputnik on Tuesday. At one point in the interview with Jonathan Swan, Trump pulled out his own printouts of COVID-19 data as evidence that the US supposedly is the “lowest” in “numerous categories” related to the pandemic, such as case fatality rate. When Swan explained that he was referring to the US death rate per capita, […]
White House trade adviser Peter Navarro spun President Donald Trump’s stunning admission that he wanted his administration to slow down coronavirus testing, saying on Sunday morning that the president’s comments were clearly “tongue in cheek” and a light moment. During Saturday night’s sparsely attended campaign rally in Tulsa, the president complained that his administration was looking bad because robust testing had picked up too many COVID-19 cases, calling it a “double-edged sword.” “When you do testing to that extent, you’re going to find more people, you’re going to find more cases,” Trump bellowed. “So I said to my people, ‘Slow the […]
British Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab has poured cold water on the idea he would ever “take the knee” in support of the Black Lives Matter movement, saying the only people he would do that for are the Queen and his wife. During an interview on Thursday with talkRadio’s Julia Hartley-Brewer, Raab was asked if he would “take the knee” – a gesture that has been taken up by anti-racism supporters across the world in a show of solidarity with the Black lives Matter movement. Raab suggested that he would refuse if requested. I take the knee for two people; the Queen […]

Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer is famous for her tyrannical rule, her blind ambition, her audacious behavior and her ignorance. In March crazed Democrat Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer prohibited big box retailers from in-person sale of seeds because according to her, plant seeds were non-essential.

The UK’s health minister has said there’s nothing in the roots of the Covid-19 epidemic to support allegations of a man-made origin, as unsubstantiated theories continue to be touted on the other side of the Atlantic. “We have looked into this and we don’t have any evidence that this is a man-made coronavirus,” Matt Hancock stated on Wednesday. The remark came as he was pressed into giving his take on the US government alleging that the novel coronavirus originated from a Chinese laboratory. We haven’t seen any evidence of a link, there’s nothing I’ve seen that confirms the allegation. Days ago, […]
