WATCH: Biden Gives Completely Unintelligible Speech To Newly Sworn U.S. Citizens

/1 Comment/in , , /by

President Joe Biden has added to our lexicon in some colorful ways.

He taught us the phrase “dog-faced pony soldier.” He creatively summarized the Declaration of Independence. He even resurrected an archaic term with the use of “malarkey.”

And now he’ll teach us another word as we try to make sense of what happened during the White House naturalization ceremony on Friday: paraphasia.

How Corey Johnson And Bill De Blasio Spent Your Money Like Drunken Sailors On Their Way Out

/1 Comment/in , /by

The Independence Day celebration started early for many New York activists and groups seeking taxpayer funding — thanks to the seasoned pork stuffed into the record-spending, $98.7 billion city budget just approved by Mayor Bill de Blasio and the City Council. . .

The funding under Johnson’s direct control — the Speaker’s Initiatives to Address Citywide Needs — skyrocketed from $6.79 million last year to $34.65 million in the Fiscal Year 2022 budget the council passed on June 30. That’s a 410-percent increase.

The boost in spending surfaced after critics privately grumbled that Johnson used his power over the budget as a slush fund to leverage support in his run for city comptroller, a position that is intended to serve as a fiscal watchdog for the city. . .

“This dramatic increase in Corey Johnson’s use of taxpayer dollars to benefit his campaign is another example of corruption. Once again, Corey uses the budget to favor those who support him and to punish those who question him,” said Michelle Caruso-Cabrera, a rival in the Democratic primary for comptroller. . .

Johnson’s fund also directed funding to LGBT groups including $50,000 to CUNY’s student LGBTQ Leadership program, $50,000 to LaGuardia Community College’s LGBTQ Public History Project, $150,000 to the New Pride Center’s Dignity for All project, $100,000 to the LGBT Network and $100,000 for for services and advocacy LGBT Elders.

Tragic Condo Collapse Death Toll Hits 28, 117 People Unaccounted (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

The death toll in the Florida building collapse climbed to 28 on Monday, as officials warned foul weather from Tropical Storm Elsa was beginning to hamper search efforts.

Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava said 117 people still remain unaccounted for at the site.

“The bad weather, unfortunately, has caused some temporary pauses of the work, specifically lightning, which, as you know, is not safe for conducting the search effort,” Cava said. “It does force us to stop to protect the safety of our first responders.”

The death toll rose when another body was recovered Monday afternoon. Three other bodies had found overnight.

Cava said rescue teams will continue to work as they are able and have now removed 4.8 million pounds of concrete. (Read more from “Tragic Condo Collapse Death Toll Hits 28, 117 People Unaccounted (VIDEO)” HERE)

California Has Found a New Way to Penalize Pro-Second Amendment Americans

/1 Comment/in , , /by

. . .In San Jose, the city is mulling charging gun owners to cover the cost of firearm-related violence (via Axios):

San Jose will require gun owners to compensate taxpayers for gun-related emergency responses, the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Why it matters: It’s the first U.S. city to take such a step. The move, approved unanimously by the San Jose City Council on Tuesday, comes after last month’s mass shooting at a transit station in the city.

The big picture: The ordinance requires every firearm owner to buy liability insurance coverage and pay an annual fee for medical and police responses to gun-related injuries and deaths, the Chronicle reports.

Officials haven’t decided how much gun owners would be required to pay annually but the amount would be determined following a gun harm study from the Pacific Institute on Research and Evaluation, which is expected to be completed this fall.

The United States Cannot Afford To Politicize Patriotism

/0 Comments/in , /by

U.S. hammer thrower Gwen Berry turned away from the American flag as the national anthem played last month in celebration of her third-place finish in the Olympic Track and Field Team trials. Berry, who had qualified for her second U.S. Olympic team, faced the stands instead and held up a black shirt that read, “Activist Athlete.” . . .

These are not fringe activists vilifying the United States as insidiously evil. These are some of the most prominent power players in the political establishment today, up to and including the White House, who have now appear to have taken over the Democratic Party. Last summer, a Quillette survey showed 44 percent of self-identifying liberals supported destroying the monument at Mount Rushmore. The Democratic Party endorsed the idea with a tweet:

Facing historic levels of such polarization, the United States is on track to politicizing patriotism. If the prior 18 months have illustrated anything, it’s that this very politicization could destroy the country. . .

That’s why the culture war is so important, particularly in schools where the next generation is actively indoctrinated with lessons that teach American racism as opposed to American exceptionalism. There’s a reason why aggressively woke children have now permeated the nation’s legacy institutions to foster the racist concepts enshrined in critical race theory from corporate newsrooms to corporate boardrooms.

This is a call on progressives to take a step back and acknowledge that in the end, America is a truly exceptional nation that empowers them with the very rights they’ve embraced to tear it down. They might want to think through the historically likely results of doing so. (Read more from “The United States Cannot Afford To Politicize Patriotism” HERE)

Facebook Roasted For Blocking Hashtag ‘Revolution’ On Independence Day Weekend

/1 Comment/in , /by

Facebook came under fire Sunday for blocking the hashtag “revolution” on the Fourth of July, a federal holiday celebrating the passage of the Declaration of Independence during the American Revolution.

Sharp-eyed social-media mavens noticed starting Friday that Facebook searches for “#revolution” were met with a “Keeping Our Community Safe” notification with an image of a locked page and the message, “Posts with revolution are temporarily hidden here.”

“Some content in those posts goes against our Community Standards,” said the message, which included a link to the standards page.

Facebook bars a host of content that violates its community standards under categories that include “Violence and Incitement,” “Sexual Solicitation” and “False News,” but the tech platform did not explain online why “#revolution” had been canceled.

The block was still in effect Sunday, prompting plenty of commentary from critics about the decision to prohibit the hashtag on a weekend dedicated to commemorating the American Revolution. (Read more from “Facebook Roasted For Blocking Hashtag ‘Revolution’ On Independence Day Weekend” HERE)

NYTimes Sparks July 4 Outrage By Claiming American Flag ‘Alienating To Some’

/1 Comment/in , /by

The New York Times sparked fireworks with an Independence Day report on the political implications of displaying the American flag — just weeks after being forced to defend an editorial writer who said she was “really disturbed” to see Old Glory flown by supporters of former President Donald Trump.

The Times article — with the online headline “A Fourth of July Symbol of Unity That May No Longer Unite” — suggests that Trump supporters have embraced the flag “so fervently” that liberals have “all but ceded the national emblem to the right.”

“Today, flying the American flag from the back of a pickup truck or over a lawn is increasingly seen as a clue, albeit an imperfect one, to a person’s political affiliation in a deeply divided nation,” the Times tweeted on Saturday, with a link to their piece, “A Fourth of July Symbol of Unity That May No Longer Unite.”

In the piece, author Sarah Maslin Nir quotes a few individuals who believe that the flag has become so politicized that they now think twice about flying it outside their homes or businesses.

“What was once a unifying symbol – there is a star on it for each state, after all – is now alienating to some, its stripes now fault lines between people who kneel while ‘The Star-Spangled Banner’ plays and those for whom not pledging allegiance is an affront,” Nir wrote.

Freedom! NYers Celebrate End Of COVID-19 Lockdowns On July Fourth (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

New Yorkers declared their independence from the COVID-19 crisis on Sunday by heading to beaches, parks and prime spots for watching fireworks — free of the lockdowns, social distancing and masks that wrecked last year’s July Fourth.

In Manhattan, city dwellers and out-of-towners alike arrived early to get onto the FDR for the pyrotechnics set to start at 9:30 p.m.

“It’s on my bucket list, watching the Fourth of July fireworks in New York City,” said Kathy Gaherty, 63, of Connecticut.

“I got here around 12:30 p.m. I’ve been exposed to so much and there are so many things I want to do before I die.”

Gaherty — a retired paralegal who wore a red, white and blue hat, scarf and shoes emblazoned with “USA” — said she previously “watched the fireworks live on TV.”

Report: ‘The Science’ Doesn’t Support Masks for Children

/0 Comments/in , /by

Those mask mandates imposed for the COVID pandemic could be hurting kids, and the vaccines could be killing them, according to a new Just the News report that cites several medical journals and studies.

“Measured carbon dioxide content in ‘inhaled air,’ observed in a study of masked German schoolchildren, was at least three-fold higher than German law allows, according to a research letter published this week in the Journal of the American Medical Association Pediatrics,” the report said. And, “Last week, the journal Vaccines, affiliated with the American Society for Virology, published research that estimates every three COVID-19 deaths prevented by vaccination are offset by two deaths ‘inflicted by vaccination,’ using Israeli and European data.”

Masks and vaccines — and lockdowns — have been among America’s main responses to the virus that likely originated with a Chinese lab in Wuhan that works with the Chinese Communist Party’s military.

Those defensive strategies were adopted over treatments with ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine that some studies have suggested are effective against the virus.

The Just the News report cited the work of Harald Walach, the lead author of both studies, who is a professor Poznan University of the Medical Sciences’ Pediatric Clinic in Poland and University of Witten/Herdecke’s psychology department in Germany.

Dem Rep.: July 4 ‘Is for White People,’ ‘Black People Still Aren’t Free,’ America Is ‘Stolen Land’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Independence Day is about freedom for whites, while blacks “still aren’t free,” wrote Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO) on Sunday, July 4.

In accordance with the left-wing style pushed by news media of capitalizing “black,” but not “white,” in reference to people, Bush tweeted, “When they say that the 4th of July is about American freedom, remember this: the freedom they’re referring to is for white people. This land is stolen land and Black people still aren’t free.”

Bush’s congressional campaign in 2020 aligned itself with the Black Lives Matter apparatus. She became the first black congresswoman from Missouri. She has regularly framed politics in racial terms, using phrases such as “white supremacy,” “systemic racism,” “black liberation,” and “racial justice,” and “structural inequity.”
