SCOOP: Ray Epps Silent on 2015 Criminal Citation

Ray Epps January 6th

On the heels of speaking to The New York Times about accusations of being an FBI informant who helped incite the January 6 Capitol Hill riot, Arizona man Ray Epps has declined to answer questions about a 2015 criminal trespass citation he received in Pennsylvania—a matter whose resolution is unclear. Speculation that Epps (full name James Ray Epps Sr.) may be a “fed” has circulated ever since Revolver News published a two-part deep dive into him in late 2021. Revolver News questioned why Epps hasn’t been charged in relation to January 6, despite video footage showing him urging protestors...

From Russia to Ohio…to the Cancer Ward

ports01

Residents of Piketon, Ohio have long suspected that the area’s sky-high cancer rate stems from the nearby Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant (PORTS), which served as a uranium enrichment facility for nuclear bombs throughout the Cold War. Recent reporting from Local 12 WKRC-TV anchor Duane Pohlman sheds light on why the area’s cancer epidemic—more than 500 cases per 100,000, or about 10 percent above state average, according to the Ohio Cancer Atlas—has persisted decades after PORTS stopped helping Uncle Sam build nukes. Pohlman revealed in May that the PORTS may have been the recipient...

Cops Wake Up Unarmed, Sleeping Man Just to Kill Him As He Raises His Hands

benitez 1050x525

The city of Mesa, Arizona settled a lawsuit with the family of a young man who was killed by police in September of 2020.

Upon exiting the vehicle, bystanders reported Benitez had his hands raised when cops opened fire, killing the 21-year-old. The City of Mesa recently settled a civil lawsuit with the family for $250,000. Benjamin Taylor, the...

Against Abortion: A Christian/Libertarian Alliance. Kerry Baldwin & Keith Knight

kerrtest2

https://youtu.be/kAy14b8yX7k On one occasion in the 1960s when abortion was still illegal, I witnessed, while visiting a surgical suite as an OB/GYN resident, the abortion of a fetus that weighed approximately two pounds. It was placed in a bucket, crying and struggling to breathe, and the medical personnel pretended not to notice. Soon the crying stopped. This harrowing event forced me to think more seriously about this important issue. That same day in the OB suite, an early delivery occurred and the infant born was only slightly larger than the one that was just aborted. But in this...

Science Deniers Refuse to Admit the Failure of Lockdowns

add a heading

As hard as it is to believe, the Chinese regime is still employing a “zero covid” strategy and claims it can eradicate covid entirely through lockdowns and vaccinations. China’s draconian, nightmarish, near-total lockdown policy—which is notably still “necessary” in spite of widespread vaccination—has recently been revived in Shanghai, where residents are now struggling to find food. But the regime has only doubled down on the policy, with Chinese president Xi Jinping declaring that “persistence is victory.” This approach has no basis in any actual science, however, and contradicts...

progressivism must be defeated. senate candidate blake masters & keith knight

https://youtu.be/C2Mys-HO54Q The only means to raise wage rates permanently for all those eager to earn wages is to raise the productivity of labor by increasing the per-head quota of capital invested and improving the methods of production. The better the tools are which the worker uses in his job, the more he can perform in an hour, the higher is, consequently, his remuneration. The height of wage rates is determined by the consumers’ appraisal of the value the worker’s labor adds to the value of the article available for sale.
