WASHINGTON — House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who for months resisted efforts to launch impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump, announced a formal inquiry on Tuesday, saying that the president’s growing Ukraine scandal marked a “breach of his Constitutional responsibilities.”

“This week the president has admitted to asking the president of Ukraine to take actions which would benefit him politically,” Pelosi said.  Continue reading “Nancy Pelosi Announces Formal Impeachment Inquiry of Trump”

The floodwaters were raging again in Houston and Jim McIngvale knew it was time to dispatch the furniture trucks.

The salesman is known here as Mattress Mack. From his Gallery Furniture showroom on Houston’s north side, McIngvale, 68, could see Tropical Storm Imelda wreaking familiar havoc on Thursday.

A southern Alberta farmer who faced criminal charges for defending his property from suspected thieves is now being sued by one of the intruders.

Edouard Maurice was accused of shooting a trespasser in February 2018 after he fired off warning shots when he encountered two people rummaging through his vehicles at his property near Okotoks, south of Calgary.  Continue reading “Injured trespasser suing rural Alberta landowner who fired warning shots”

I hope the alarmists who terrified Greta Thunberg with scares about a global warming apocalypse are ashamed of themselves. They’ve now seen this troubled girl’s naked fear as she cried and ranted at the UN climate meeting. Shame on the likes of Tim Flannery, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and UN boss Antonio Guterres. My editorial from The Bolt Report. Continue reading “Child Abuse: Shame On The Fear-Mongers Who Made Greta Thunberg Cry”

After all was said and done, the events surrounding the Storm Area 51 meme—which went viral over the summer, drawing in millions of RSVPs on Facebook—appear to have been little more than hot air and social media buzz, as a few hundred alien enthusiasts and revelers partied near the secretive U.S. military base in a largely uneventful manner.  Continue reading “The US Military Threatened to Bomb “Millennials” Who Storm Area 51”

Jasper, GA — If you still have any doubt that police are here just for your protection, the following video should be enough to convince you otherwise. An entirely innocent man, Charles A. Spradlin had committed no crime, had harmed no one, and was on his own property when two Georgia State Troopers illegally stopped him, kidnapped him, and stole his vehicle. The gross violation of rights was captured on video as the two troopers discussed the various ways to accomplish their illegal goals. The trooper’s conduct is now the subject of a federal lawsuit.

Chinese scientists have developed an artificial intelligence (AI)-enabling 500 megapixel cloud camera system able to capture thousands of faces at a stadium in perfect detail and generate their facial data for the cloud while locating a particular target in an instant.

Most Chinese experts welcomed the camera system’s military, national defense and public security applications, although some expressed data safety and privacy concerns.  Continue reading “Scientists invent super camera”

Though by now Washington appears no closer to military strikes on Iran than it was before the Sept. 14 Saudi Aramco attack, a joint statement by Britain, France, and Germany has brought the kind of international allied consensus the US administration is looking for.

The three European countries announced it was “clear” Iran was responsible for the twin aerial strikes on the facilities, however, stopped short of calling for any military retaliation, instead urged Iran to reengage negotiations on its nuclear and missile programs. The statement does warn of “risk of a major conflict” and underscores making “collective efforts towards regional stability and security” which includes bringing the Yemen war to an end.  Continue reading “UK, France, Germany Say It’s “Clear” Iran Attacked Saudis; Johnson Backs New ‘Trump Deal’”

On 10 September, 2019, Colorado Congressman Ken Buck (R-CO) offered an amendment to the proposed bill to create federal grants for  “Red Flag” bills in the House of Representative. The amendment was offered in the Judiciary Committee.  Representative Ken Buck’s introduction of the amendment occurs in the first minute and ten seconds of the video on C-Span. “Red Flag” bills allow police to confiscate guns from people with a mere accusation they may pose a threat. In Red Flag bills, there is little due process.
An accusation is sufficient. No court appearance by the accused, or confrontation of witnesses, is required.  There is no presumption of innocence. To regain their rights, the person accused has to prove they are “not* a danger. They may incur thousands of dollars of court costs to regain the property that was taken from them without due process.  Continue reading “Democrats Won’t Include Gang Members in “Red Flag” Laws”

The national farm to school movement has grown so fast that it is challenging traditional notions of city planning, and a Clayton County preschool is at ground zero in the conflict.

The Little Ones Learning Center in Forest Park has a nationally recognized garden-based education program. In 2015, it merited a visit by then-first lady Sandra Deal, who watched the children tasting fresh juice. “It was a treat to see your early learning center practicing good nutrition with a bountiful garden,” she wrote in a letter to the school.  Continue reading “Preschool growing fruits and veggies ordered by city to stop sales”

The Banditos walked around the East Los Angeles sheriff’s station handing trainees empty envelopes with a request: By the end of the day, fill them with money.

They’d sometimes get up to $2,000 at a time, so-called “taxes” they’d later use for a vacation to Thailand and other personal expenses.  Continue reading “Sheriff’s deputies sue county, accusing Banditos colleagues of beatings, withholding backup”

Over the past few years, I have received a lot of flak from anonymous commenters about a few stories I wrote that discussed paramedics and firefighters training for urban warfare.

But recent stories, like this one, reveal something that even the most die-hard defenders of first responders cannot deny: armed doctors, paramedics and firefighters could soon be showing up at your doorstep to arrest someone.  Continue reading ““Tactical Doctors, Paramedics And Firefighters” Are Excited To Arrest People”

About 14.3 million illegal aliens are living across the United States, according to a new study, costing American taxpayers roughly $132 billion a year.

An annually released report by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) estimates that that illegal population living in the U.S. has risen nearly two million in two years, now standing at about 14.3 million illegal aliens.  Continue reading “Study: 14.3M Illegal Aliens Living in U.S., Costing Americans $132B a Year”

Two days after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared, on Tuesday last week, his intention to annex the Jordan Valley after the election, forces of the Civil Administration carried out yet another brutal operation of destruction. The target this time was particularly remote: a rocky hillside adjacent to the village of Tamoun in the northern valley. The goal was singularly vicious: the uprooting of hundreds of olive trees that were about to yield their first fruit, and demolition of the cisterns holding the water that was used to irrigate them.  Continue reading “Down in the Jordan Valley, the Cruel Wheels of the Israeli Occupation Keep on Turning”
