Former “Empire” star Jussie Smollett was sentenced to 150 days in jail, 30 months felony probation and to pay restitution to the city of Chicago, and a fine of $25,000 on Thursday, after he was that he staged a hate-crime attack against himself in 2019. Judge James B. Linn stated that the evidence against Smollett was “overwhelming” and that the jury’s verdict in his case was “correct.” In December Smollett was found guilty on 5 charges of disorderly conduct – one count for each time he lied to police following the hoax ‘attack.’ Smollett was found not guilty on a…

The popular dating app Tinder has announced it will add features enabling its users to run background checks on their dates. The move comes after Netflix released its Tinder Swindler documentary last month about a fraudster who used the app to con women out of $430,000. Tinder’s parent company Match Group said users will be able to use the feature to run checks for certain crimes including convictions of violence and sex offences. The tool, which Match Group said has been under development since March, will also give an indication of whether the results to the check are “high, medium…
After a twenty-year search, marine biologists claim to have finally found the wreckage of the vessel once skippered by the British explorer Captain Cook. Searching in waters off the coast of Rhode Island, Australian maritime archaeologists say they came across the famed ship, HMS Endeavour, near Newport Harbour, where it has rested at the bottom of the ocean for 200 years. While researchers had a rough idea about where the Endeavour may have last been sighted before it was sunk by the British during the American War of Independence in 1788, its exact location was not known until now –…
Here is another story, in a line of many, showing the decline in the American culture. Until recently life was valued and if you killed someone you would be adequately punished for your actions. Not so in today’s hyper-social justice environment. If racism is involved in a disagreement, excessive violence is explained away, even if it resulted in the killing of another human being. In a recent story, a Florida Dunkin’ Donuts employee, Corey Pujols, 27, was accused of fatally punching a customer who used a racist slur against him. The prosecutor offered him a plea deal, with him pleading…
During the 2016 presidential elections, the Democrats insisted a Donald Trump presidency would take the U.S. into military conflicts with Iran, Russia, and/or North Korea. To their surprise, former President Trump actually withdrew troops from the Middle East and Afghanistan, not sending troops into any new military conflicts his entire fours years in office. Kim Jong-un has been the Supreme Leader of North Korea since 2011 and is known for having a short fuse. In a surprise to many, Trump and Jong-un actually developed a good working relationship, which led to them meeting at the DMZ where Trump crossed Into…
During his entire four years in office, Former President Donald J. Trump fought the world establishment. He angered globalists by pulling out of the Paris Accord, walking away from the Iranian nuclear deal, adding/increasing tariffs on Chinese products, and for preventing Russia from supplying more gas to Europe, especially Germany. In December 2019 President Donald Trump approved sanctions on the Russian gas pipeline, Nord Stream 2. Trump followed up by signing a law that imposed sanctions on any firm that helps Russia’s state-owned gas company, Gazprom, finish a pipeline into the European Union. The sanctions targeted firms building Nord Stream…
In most states, a citizen who wants to carry a weapon must have a permit to do so. Rules about what’s required to get the permit vary state to state–some require only a background check and small tax, some require hours of training, others are more involved and force you to deal with the police–while not a major hassle in most states, it is a delay that makes it harder to carry a gun if you think you need one suddenly. Further, it just doesn’t seem congruent with the 2nd Amendment, which provides that “the right to keep and bear…
Once again the judiciary had to step in, putting a stop to another one of the Biden administration’s blatant violations of existing laws. Texas has been the most active state fighting the Biden administration in the courts. So far they have stopped a 100-day deportation moratorium from being enforced last February, and recently won an order by a federal judge ordering the Biden administration to continue Trump’s “Remain in Mexico” policy, where asylum seekers are returned to Mexico to wait for their hearings. On Friday, a Texas federal judge ordered President Joe Biden to stop the mass release of illegal…
My wife and I occasionally discuss what careers we might have chosen after graduating, many years ago, if we knew then, what we know now. Of the professions that we discussed, for me, teaching was nowhere on my list. The teaching profession has a lot of pressures associated with it, especially for those who are members of the ever-evolving, radical national teachers’ unions. Instead of being allowed to focus solely on teaching standard curriculum, including reading, writing, arithmetic, and science, they are now expected to be social justice activists of varying degrees. In far-left schools, this could include introducing young…
Once again Florida is out in front on COVID, this time telling Floridians, it’s time to leave the children alone. Defying guidance from the nation’s top infectious disease and pediatric health experts, Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo announced Monday that the state will become the first to recommend that healthy kids not get vaccinated for COVID-19. Ladapo made the announcement at the end of a roundtable discussion in West Palm Beach that Gov. Ron DeSantis convened to discuss “failures” in the response to COVID-19. The group of experts downplayed the importance of the vaccine for children, with some saying the benefits…
There are very few things as predictable as the rising and setting of the sun. Well after 14 months of the most incompetent vice-president in U.S. history making a fool of herself on a regular basis, the probability that Kamala Harris will say or do something to embarrass herself again, is almost as predictable. Today, Harris while trying to be a social justice warrior for the environment, criticized the amount of pollution she thinks is caused by heavy trucks, on the same day a group of patriotic truckers circled Washington, DC. “Pollution from heavy-duty trucks and buses has made the…
There are a few things that Americans know about President Joe Biden. He has trouble putting two sentences together, his son Hunter is a Crack attic and Biden makes up lies and/or exaggerates on a regular basis. Well, Joe just did it again. This time the 78-year-old cranky U.S. Chief Executive Officer repeated a prior claim that he had been a teaching professor following his days as Barack Obama’s VP. This was not the first time Biden told this fabrication; “I really enjoyed teaching and writing.” As of today though, Joe still has not stood in front of a classroom at…
“Liberty not only means that the individual has both the opportunity and the burden of choice; it also means that he must bear the consequences of his actions and will receive praise or blame for them. Liberty and responsibility are inseparable.” -Friedrich Hayek on Liberty I think that this quote Friedrich Hayek on liberty is an excellent one for Americans to hear right now. In fact, it might be even more important than his book, The Road to Serfdom. The entire nation is struggling because of a collective lack of responsibility; we don’t understand, or perhaps have simply forgotten, that there…
After praying for God to place him in a position to “assist other people” on a Friday morning, T.P. Brown, Jr. had no clue what God had in store for him, but God answered his prayer and used him to stop a kidnapper. Brown’s prayer came to life when he helped police in Portland, Oregon, apprehend a suspect in a vehicle theft that occurred on Friday, however, the suspect didn’t just steal a car. Inside of the car was a three-year-old child. When the suspect stole the car that had a three-year-old sitting inside, the car owner who was the…

Not only has the Covid narrative been shifting in real-time, but the mindless herd has followed every step of the way without questioning the sudden reversal. Yet somehow, they are still okay with contradictory messaging around masks. Joe Biden doesn’t need one at his State of the Union, but you do in school? The Super Bowl attendees didn’t need one, but you do in blue cities? We are being told to forget about Covid, but accept vaccine mandates for employment? It’s all stupid and it’s getting really stupid considering the conversation has shifted in record time. It cannot be overstated…

Right now, the Uniparty elites are working all the levers of media they know to make Putin like the most evil of all dictators and the Ukrainian president, Zelensky, like a hero. Wanting to stir up war with the nation they’ve wanted to fight since the Cold War began and wanted to crush into becoming a “liberal democracy” ever since Putin began a traditionalist revival, increasing the number of Russians identifying as orthodox to 80% and radically decreasing the number of abortions in Russia, they’re turning a fight over territory into a holy war against the evil Russians and “authoritarianism.”…
Hold on a minute New York City Mayor Eric Adams. I know you are new but what about the risks from COVID? According to Dr. Fauci, the CDC, your predecessor, and past 2 governors, since COVID variants exist, the mask and vaccines mandates should stay in place. Well, Mayor Adams instead of following their examples just fell in line with dozens of other blue state mayors and governors who recently ended their mask and vaccine mandates. Not simply because the scientific data has improved, but because recent polling overwhelmingly shows that Americans are done with COVID and ready to vote…
Former Florida Governor Rick Scott has shown the ability to govern effectively. Following his eight years as the Governor of Florida (2011–2019), Scott ran in 2018 and was elected to one of the two U.S. FL Senate seats. The 3-year senator just wrote in a Wall Street Journal op-ed that the GOP establishment on Capitol Hill doesn’t want to play ball with him. On Wednesday, Scott took McConnell to task for opposing his action plan, mentioning the proposal requiring all Americans to pay income tax to reduce the deficit that McConnell has increased under his tenure as Senate leader: I have committed…
The Republican Party had a great opportunity in 2022 to update the congressional maps to accurately reflect the electorate, giving the party several extra opportunities to pick up seats in the November mid-term elections. Instead, in some of the conservative majority states, the legislatures and governors are allowing feedback from the democrats and seem to be acquiescing to their requests of letting some districts, which could have gone to either party, stay with democrats instead of giving the GOP voters the fruit of their labor for turning out in huge numbers. In Florida, you have a divided GOP. The Florida…
Last year, Melinda and Bill Gates shocked the world when the billionaire couple announced that they were filing for a divorce. After the initial divorce announcement, there were several reports about Bill Gates having an affair with a Microsoft employee and Melinda also stated that Bill’s previous relationship with Epstein also added to the decision to divorce her husband of 27 years. Well, now in an exclusive interview with Gayle King, Melinda has given more details about her ex-husband’s relationship with convicted pedophile Jeffery Epstein. In the interview, Melinda described the day Bill brought her to a meeting where Epstein…
Wired reports that Google’s latest privacy-invading technology can read your body language without using cameras. One Google designer ominously commented, “We’re really just pushing the bounds of what we perceive to be possible for human-computer interaction.” Wired reports that Google’s newest tech uses radar to detect users’ body language and then performs actions based on its analysis. Google’s Advanced Technology and Product division (ATAP) has reportedly spent over a year exploring how radar could be implemented in computers to understand humans based on their movements and to react to them. Google has experimented with radar in its technology in the past. In 2015 the company…
In February Republican lawmakers in the Sunshine State were working to pass a bill that bans discussion of sexual orientation or gender identity in-state public schools from kindergarten through fifth grade. It also encourages parents to sue school districts that promote talking about such issues. It was crafted after reports surfaced about a 12-year-old girl attempting suicide after her school attempted to transition her to male without her parents’ knowledge or consent. US Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, a married homosexual, responded, claiming that Florida Republicans’ controversial Parental Rights in Education bill could drive up LGBTQ youth suicide rates if it’s implemented. President…
