What are the details? The station, citing a police report, said the fighting at Rome Middle School started between two girls around 8:18 a.m. outside the lunchroom. School officials were at first able to separate the girls, WSB said, but one broke away from the school resource officer and tried to go after the other girl. With that, the school resource officer tackled the girl to the ground to “prevent any more altercations from starting," the station said. But when the officer was on the ground, the girl ki...

How can anyone out there possibly believe that the U.S. economy is doing well?  As you will see below, the number of homeless Americans has risen to the highest level ever recorded, and large companies all over the country are laying off workers in droves.  As I have discussed previously, the number of Americans that were laid off in 2023  jumped 98 percent  compared to the year before, and now during the first month of 2024 it feels like we are being hit by a tsunami of layoffs.  It literally seems like someone has turned a fire hose on, but the Biden administration continues to insist that unemployment is “low” and that the outlook for the U.S. economy is positive. Honestly, I don’t understand how the Biden administration can say that the outlook for the U.S. economy is positive when the number of Americans that are homeless has been increasing at the fastest pace ever recorded.  According to a brand new report that was just released by Harvard’s Joint Center for Housing Studies, ...

Denver, Colorado’s capital with over 700,000 residents, has become the latest city inundated with over 40,000 migrants as a result of the ongoing border crisis.

Getty/Patrick T. Fallon The EV stock bubble has burst, and prices are tanking in a historic sell-off. Formerly high-flying stocks like Rivian, Lucid, and Xpeng are down 80% to 90% from their peaks. The industry is being slammed by higher borrowing costs, slow growth in Europe, and expiring subsidies. The electric-vehicle stock bubble has burst, and prices are tanking in a historic sell-off. Formerly high-flying stocks like Rivian, Lucid, and Xpeng are down 80% to 90% from their peaks, Bloomberg first highlighted on Tuesday. Even EV king Tesla, recently dethroned by BYD as the world's largest EV maker, is down 22% over the past month. Further, EV stock indexes are trailing other carmakers by anywhere from 50% to 80%, Bloomberg data shows. The industry is feeling headwinds in the form of higher interest rates (which make borrowing more expensive) and lackluster economic growth in Europe. Demand has also taken a hit with expiring EV subsidies in countries like Germany. That ...

We Can't Ban Our Way To A Better World Authored by Charles Krblich via The Brownstone Institute, Il nous faut de l’audace, encore de l’audace, toujours de l’audace! (We need audacity, more audacity, always audacity!) Georges Jacques Danton Just a short time ago, on a Saturday, before a flake of snow glistened in the air on the following Sunday, an imminent weather emergency caused New York Governor Kathy Hochul to “ban travel” and postpone the Steelers-Bills super Wild Card game until the following Monday. Certainly, severe weather is a legitimate reason to cancel or postpone events, and to stridently warn against travel during white-out conditions in a blizzard, but a travel ban? Banning isn’t limited to travel during white-out conditions in blizzards though. It is truly a bipartisan pastime. Ban gas stoves; Ban gas-powered generators; Ban books; Ban misinformation; Ban fake news; Ban gender affirming care; Ban parents from being no...

Most Airplane Accidents Happen During Landing Most accidents in  civil aviation  occur during landing. (we are sure there is a joke in there but it would be highly inappropriate) Statista's Martin Armstrong reports that data from the airline umbrella organization  IATA  shows that 53% of all aviation accidents that occurred between 2005 and 2023 happened during the landing process . Landing is a complex process during which pilots have to keep a particularly close eye on instruments, radio traffic and environmental influences. Accidents during takeoff are in second place, although they only account for 8.5 percent of accidents. This is followed by accidents during the landing approach, during the initial climb or during the cruise flight. The data relates to flights operated by  IATA members , which together account for around 94 percent of all international flights. You will find more infographics at Statista Despite the incre...

Biden To Announce Billions In New Chip Subsidies Two years after Biden's $53BN CHIPS act did nothing at all to boost the US semiconductor industry - which has instead enjoyed a hope and hype-driven supercycle thanks to the general public's relentless and erroneous fawning over chatbots and AI which, if successful, will leave hundreds of millions unemployed  - here comes the president with the inevitable double down. According to the WSJ , the Biden administration is expected to soon award billions of dollars in new subsidies to Intel, Taiwan Semiconductor and other top semiconductor companies to help build new factories, as part of a push to highlight the administration's "signature economic initiative" as elections approach. Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger holds a semiconductor chip during a Senate hearing in 2022; Photo: Zuma Press The grants are part of the $53 billion Chips Act, which intended to reshore production of advanced microchips and...

Biden Blackmail Intensifies: Won't Shut Border Until Congress Coughs Up Ukraine, Israel Funds As Republican governors circle the wagon around Texas, President Biden on Saturday doubled down on a reluctant agreement to secure the southern US border - but only if if Congress passes a bipartisan bill t hat would also allocate funds for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan, and would still allow as many as 150,000 illegal crossings per month . " If that bill were the law today I'd shut down the border right now and fix it quickly and bring a bipartisan bill that would be good for America and help fix our broken immigration system and allow speedy access for those who deserve to be here," Biden said, according to Fox News ' Chad Pergram . Except, as many have pointed out, Biden doesn't need Congress, or the bill, to do that right now . As we noted yesterday , House Speaker Mike Johnson debunked the claim, saying " President Biden false...

The CDC Covered Up The Vaccine's Risks Authored by Jeffrey Tucker via The Epoch Times, By the Spring of 2021, Americans were inundated by a cacophony of demands that everyone immediately line up for the shot that would supposedly end the pandemic. The screams of certainty were deafening. It was everywhere you turned: TV, radio, newspaper, social media, and medical authorities at all levels. Several features of this campaign were suspicious.   People had begun to notice that the virus itself was nowhere near as deadly as had been claimed . Yes people got sick but, as with the flu, most everyone shook it off in time. Why get vaccinated for a pathogen against which your immunity can be earned the old-fashioned way? It never made sense that this was somehow essential for the whole population.   Then there was the question of whether it was going to be effective. Coronaviruses are fast-mutating, and the whole history of vaccines sugg...

Logically.AI Of Britain And The Expanding Global Reach Of Censorship Authored by Lee Fang via RealClear Wire , Brian Murphy, a former FBI agent who once led the intelligence wing of the Department of Homeland Security, reflected last summer on the failures of the Disinformation Governance Board – the panel formed to actively police misinformation. The board, which was proposed in April 2022 after he left DHS, was quickly shelved by the Biden administration in a few short months in the face of criticism that it would be an Orwellian state-sponsored "Ministry of Truth." In a July podcast , Murphy said the threat of state-sponsored disinformation meant the executive branch has an “ethical responsibility” to rein in the social media companies . American citizens, he said, must give up "some of your freedoms that you need and deserve so that you get security back." The legal problems and public backlash to the Disinformation Governance B...

Agence France-Presse (AFP), founded in 1835, is the world’s oldest news agency, which means that there was a time when it was not simply a propaganda arm for the far-left and its allies. But as is the case with other once-respected news outlets all over the West, the days of AFP’s independence and objectivity are long past. A recent AFP story about vigilante punishment of a “blasphemer” in Norway demonstrates that. “Woman jailed over car-chase with Norway anti-Islam activist,” AFP tells in a story it published Saturday, and the headline presents the first problem. Those who are unfamiliar with what actually happened might think that this was a story about speeding, or maybe even about racing in the streets, or else that the dastardly “anti-Islam activist” (note that his activism is presented as his being against something, rather than for something, an honor the media reserves only for those with whom it agrees) was misogynistically chasing down this woman, no doubt with malign in...

The ‘genocide’ case in the International Court of Justice (ICJ) against Israel lifts the veil over a process that has been affecting the entire corpus of international law – already far exceeding its roots in the Israeli-Jihadi conflict. This case is not about Israel, it is about the future of international law and the slow creep of sharia infecting Western law. Legendary Human Rights Scholar DAVID LITTMAN VIDEO INTERVIEW: OVERWHELMING ISLAMISATION OF THE UN The Universal Declaration of Human Rights was born after the ashes of World War II and established to ensure that a Holocaust would never happen again. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) is a milestone document in the history of human rights. Drafted by representatives with different legal and cultural backgrounds from all regions of the world, the Declaration was proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly in Paris on 10 December 1948 ( General Assembly resolution 217 A ) as a common standard of achievem...

U.S. lawmakers are calling for military strikes inside Iran in the aftermath of a horrific terror attack that left three U.S. service members dead and dozens wounded.  So if the U.S. does hit targets inside Iranian territory, how will the Iranians respond?  It is theoretically possible that they could back down, but I doubt it.  All of the airstrikes that we have conducted so far against Iranian-backed terror groups in Iraq and Syria have not caused them to back down.  And the airstrikes that we have hit the Houthis in Yemen with have not caused them to back down either.  The truth is that the U.S. is already at war in the Middle East, and it appears that it could soon take an apocalyptic turn. U.S. forces in the Middle East have been attacked time after time over the past couple of months, but Sunday’s attack was the first one that actually killed members of the U.S. military … Three U.S. service members were killed and dozens may be wounded after an unmanned aerial drone attack ...
