Donald Trump’s son-in-law has long been dogged by accusations of nepotism and conflicts of interest stemming from his role as White House senior adviser. The Twitter hashtag #HeWentToJared began trending in the United States on Wednesday night after an anti-Trump ad went viral. The ad, put out by the media group MeidasTouch, walks through the shortcomings of Jared Kushner’s tenure as senior adviser to Donald Trump, including the controversial Middle East peace plan, his whopping $82 million in outside income in 2018, reports that he backed the Saudi-led Qatar blockade due to being denied cash for his family’s company, and rumour […]

Trump has fired off a defensive tweet explaining the episode, which came on the eve of his 74th birthday. US President Donald Trump’s awkward moment at the West Point commencement speech looks set to overshadow his birthday party.

He later posted an indignant tweet explaining that the ramp was […]
New Delhi (Sputnik): With people around the world remaining trapped in the confinement of their hopes, the summer 2020 pictures we’ll take will likely show us doing household chores. Despite this misfortune, Indians, who ordinarily have the luxury of rushing to the Himalayas anytime they want, are reminiscing of better summers. Every year, when scorching hot summers hit India, many people have get-togethers with friends and family and prefer spending time in forests or hilly regions. One such destination for Indians during their summer vacations is Darjeeling. Located in the Indian state of West Bengal, Darjeeling stands at the foothills of […]
Wednesday morning, a Change.org petition circled the internet calling to “Have TikTok remove any content involving the ‘George Floyd challenge!!’” The page featured a disturbing layout collage, cropped to reveal only the bottom two photos. In each, two white guys mugged for the camera, as one knelt on the other’s neck—both mocking the murder of George Floyd, who died after a Minneapolis cop knelt on his windpipe for eight minutes and 46 seconds. By that evening, the petition passed its goal of 5,000 signatures. The new goal is now 7,500. “There is a challenge currently ‘popular’ on the app TikTok,” the […]
Search for “LAPD scanner” on Twitter right now and you’ll see it—a video showing radio traffic in which two vile racists laugh and joke about killing protesters. “We gotta start shooting to kill, man. Mr Trump said so, shoot to kill,” one voice says. “Come one, come all. $100 a head. Every [n-word] you kill, $100. $50 for a Mexican,” the other responds. On Tiktok, Facebook, and Twitter, the video has racked up over a million views as users have taken the audio and added videos of their reaction to the recording. One problem: it’s not true. While the audio is […]
An English woman was left red-faced after being caught red-headed flouting lockdown rules by police on a Welsh beach. Despite invoking the decree of Boris Johnson, it was the woman’s geographical knowledge which let her down. The woman reportedly travelled 100 miles from the West Midlands to Gwynedd beach in Barmouth on Wednesday, the hottest day of the year so far, blissfully unaware that different lockdown rules apply to different countries in the United Kingdom. In footage from the scene, as police confront her she pointedly asks: “You’re telling me it’s illegal to be at this beach when Boris Johnson said […]
Flora Teoh The far left tech companines are moving at light speed to eliminate free speech in the West. The YouTube-Google CEO announced recently that the world’s largest video platform would only allow WHO approved talking points on their platform. They will delete other videos that are not approved by the China-dominated health organization. Facebook enlisted several far left groups to ‘factcheck’ articles written by conservatives in an effort to prevent the real truth or a different point of view from being decimated to the public. This is happening every day. Being one of the most influential conservative news outlets in […]

A slickly produced 26-minute video called Plandemic has exploded on social media in recent days, claiming to present a view of COVID-19 that differs from the “official” narrative. The video has been viewed millions of times on YouTube via links that are replaced as quickly as the video-sharing service can remove them for violating its policy against “COVID-19 misinformation.” In it, filmmaker Mikki Willis conducts an uncritical interview with Judy Mikovits, who he says has been called “one of the most accomplished scientists of her generation.” Never heard of her? You’re not alone. Two prominent scientists with backgrounds in AIDS research […]
