YouTube is facing a new wave of criticism after their updated hate speech rules banning videos that promote Nazi ideology or Holocaust denial were put into effect in a way that resulted in educational videos about World War II and the Holocaust being blocked as well.

A report by The Guardian interviewed several British history teachers who had seen their video channels featuring archival films from…

Memorial day 2019 started out as a normal day at eRockets we started early to get packages ready to be out the door the next day. John came in at 4am to get started and I showed up at 9am to take care of concerns and open the door for shoppers and builders to spend part of their day here. Joe S was here most of the day and Joe says Murphy follows him around a lot. As soon as Joe left the…

You won’t read about this in any history book. It didn’t occur on some field of battle.

As Forrest Gump said, “The best place to start is at the beginning.”

George Ferrocarril and I first met due to a mutual interest in trains. I heard him tell another that he was in the Air Force. So when I could I asked him when he served. He told me he was stationed at Griffiss AFB. I asked him when. I was there at the same time. A friendship started.

George and I didn’t work that far…

A few weeks back, CNN bought out around one hundred employees. This came on the heels of rumors of major layoffs coming to CNN. At the time, even though it was obvious why those employees were being bought out (i.e. a precursor to forced layoffs), the liberal news network got very defensive about people suggesting they were having issues.

CNN’s Brian Stelter did what he always does, which is to play the role of Baghdad Bob for Mark Zucker.

As I wrote at the time,…

AG Barr outsmarted Robert Mueller and his ‘pitbull‘ Andrew Weissmann to end the Russia Hoax. And, he did this all in one weekend.

Here’s how he did it.

One of the first things that Bill Barr did after being appointed President Trump’s new Attorney General on Valentine’s Day in 2019, was to meet with Robert Mueller and his team. Barr stated that he and Mueller met a couple weeks after his appointment –

Barr, in testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee,…

CTV of Vancouver reported that numerous flyers had been posted at a local park which read, “Many Muslims live in this area and dogs are considered filthy in Islam. Please keep your dogs on a leash and away from the Muslims who live in this community.”

The city’s mayor was questioned about the signs by CTV and said they had not been issued by the city. However, he said “Whether they were produced by a well-meaning member of the Muslim community or by someone…

Federal rule ends a union's ability to involuntarily take money from home health care givers

By Patrick J. Wright

Today, due to a newly minted federal rule, the rest of the United States finally joins Michigan in ending the home health care dues skim, whereby Medicaid grants meant to fund the care of the elderly and disabled were being diverted to unions. In its 2014 Harris v. Quinn decision, the U.S. Supreme Court held that requiring mandatory dues or fees from these…

The first U.S.-flag laker to be built this century was commissioned this week and figures to be completed by mid-2022. The new "river-class" vessel will be built to transit the Great Lakes and service customers in some of the smaller harbors found in the rivers connecting the lakes.

Commissioned by Interlake Steamship Company, based outside Cleveland, the 639-foot carrier capable of hauling 28,000 gross tons will be built in Sturgeon Bay, Wis., by Fincantieri Bay…

Former vice president and 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden said on Friday that the thing he was most proud of about the Obama administration was that there was "not one single whisper of scandal."

"The thing I'm proudest of is we, coincidentally, we were each in a different part of the country and we were each talking to groups of people that were being televised. On the same day, purely coincidentally, we were asked what are you proudest of from…

Law enforcement, vets disapprove of Murphy's immigration policies.

A petition to recall Gov. Phil Murphy (D.) was approved by the New Jersey Division of Elections after months of delays, and organizers are now mobilizing to collect enough signatures for a recall election to remove him over what they say are his misguided and radical policies.

Somerset County resident Terry Beck, one of three women behind the grassroots effort, told the Washington Free Beacon…

The Supreme Court’s conservative majority appears to be taking President Trump’s side on his administration’s plan to add a citizenship question to the 2020 census.

Liberals went berserk after Secretary of Commerce, Wilbur Ross announced last year that the 2020 census will include a question on citizenship.

As expected, the Democrats and several ultra liberal advocacy groups aren’t taking this imminent victory for the President well.

Tuesday at the “Time 100 Summit,” during a Q&A session in New York, Hillary Clinton said it was clear in Robert Mueller‘s report impeachment of President Donald Trump committed obstruction of justice.

Clinton said, “I think there’s enough there that any other person who had engaged in those acts would certainly have been indicted. But because of the rule in the Justice Department that you can’t indict a sitting president, the whole matter of obstruction was very…

In an interview about artificial intelligence and transhumanism conducted by the Singularity Weblog, philosopher Peter Singer let it slip that he did not particularly love animals. He also revealed that, while mostly vegan, he did not think it was that big a deal if he did occasionally consume animal products, As such, given that he does not think human beings are to be valued above animals, does that mean he doesn’t have any problem with…

MSNBC host Chris Matthews argued the way to get to the truth regarding President Donald Trump's relationship with Russia is through pursuing impeachment during an appearance on MSNBC on Thursday afternoon.

"So final question, Chris. Where does this leave us? Because the Democrats in Congress have a real choice here about how and where to streamline their objections, their bills of particulars, and their investigation," fellow MSNBC host Brian Williams…

Police say another operation was planned by group, one of whom had been engaged to two men who carried out deadly attacks

2019 Notre Dame fire updates – police say fire began accidentally and may be linked to building work at cathedral

A cell of radicalised French women guided by Islamic State commanders in Syria was behind a failed terrorist attack near Paris’s Notre Dame Cathedral last weekend and planned another violent attack this week before they were intercepted by police,…

I thought Democrats were really concerned about “voter suppression?”

I guess you can’t suppress people’s votes if you don’t give them the choice in the first place. Illinois is trying that out by passing a new law that forbids Trump from being on the 2020 ballot unless he releases five years of tax returns.

Lawmakers in Illinois have advanced legislation that would require President Trump to release five years of his tax returns in order to appear on the state’s 2020 presidential…

Many of us remember the strange circumstances surrounding the July 1993 suicide of Vince Foster. Foster, President Clinton’s Deputy White House Counsel at that time, shot himself at Fort Marcy Park along the Potomac River.

Prior to joining the Clintons in Washington, Foster had been a partner at Rose Law Firm in Little Rock, Arkansas, where he had been a colleague and a friend of Hillary Clinton’s.

Ken Starr spoke to former Washington Post and Wall Street Journal writer Ronald…

We’ve seen it in New Mexico already, and now we’re seeing it in Colorado. Local counties are declaring themselves Second Amendment Sanctuaries and refusing to enforce statewide gun laws that violate due process and make a joke out of the Constitution. In remarks to CNN this week, Weld County Sheriff Steve Reams said that even if the Colorado legislature passes a new “red flag” bill, he won’t have his deputies enforce the law.

“It’s a matter of doing what’s right,” he told the network.…

Sen. Tom Cotton (R., Ark.) is seeking an investigation into the tax-exempt status of the left-wing Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), according to a letter provided to the Washington Free Beacon.

Cotton sent the letter to the IRS April 2 and urges an investigation into whether the SPLC "should retain its classification as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization" amid news reports that have verified the…

CNN anchor Christiane Amanpour called "lock her up" chants by Donald Trump supporters "hate speech" in a new interview and asked James Comey if he wished he had "shut down that language" in his capacity as FBI Director at the time.

Amanpour recounted the frequent chants at Trump 2016 campaign rallies about imprisoning Hillary Clinton for her perceived crimes and wondered if they should have been legal, but Comey responded it was not the role of government officials…
