ORLANDO, Florida — Former Georgia Rep. Vernon Jones (R) condemned the Democrat Party, which he left in January, for being unaccepting of “independent-thinking black men” like himself, providing his remarks in an interview with Breitbart News this past weekend. Jones, speaking during an exclusive interview while attending the annual Conservative Political Action Conference, first recalled what he described as a “frightening” encounter last year with Black Lives Matter protesters and then railed into his former party for being unwelcoming toward him because of his views. Following former President Donald Trump’s acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention last August in D.C., Breitbart News captured protesters — some of whom were affiliated with the Black Lives Matter movement — harassing Jones, shouting obscenities such as “you’re a fucking disgrace” and “you house [N-word]” at him as he and a female companion made their way through the street. Jones said “it was a … [Read more...] about Exclusive – Vernon Jones on Joining GOP: ‘Independent-Thinking Black Men Like Me’ Not Welcome in Democrat Party

The 500,000 lives lost to COVID-19 is a sobering milestone symbolizing America’s failed, 50-state approach in combatting the pandemic. The absence of a cohesive national strategy by the prior administration, even over the most basic preventative public health measures to contain the virus, helped propel the U.S. to record the highest number of coronavirus cases and death toll of any nation in the world. For the living, the pandemic has revealed stark inequities in accessing the fundamental tools necessary to survive a crisis like this. The ability to stay connected, consume healthy food and receive important health-related services are at the top of the list. ADVERTISEMENT If there’s one clear takeaway from our year of COVID-19 it’s that reliable internet accessibility is now core to our essential infrastructure. When the pandemic shut down our schools and our ability to gather in person, strong internet connectivity enabled many to stay in touch with friends and … [Read more...] about Solving the unequal impacts of COVID-19

At the end of last month, only 1,120 single-family homes and 904 townhomes and condos were available for purchase across all of metro Denver and a few nearby counties, according to a monthly update from the Denver Metro Association of Realtors. To understand just how thin that supply is, the region has averaged 13,531 active listings at the end of February in records going back to 1985. Even though far more single-family homes are available to go on the market than in 1985 or 1995 or 2005 — about 815,000 total by U.S. Census Bureau counts — the number of homes actually available for sale has never been lower. “The feeling of frustration and exasperation is present throughout the real estate community,” said Andrew Abrams, chairman of the DMAR Market Trends Committee, in comments accompanying the report. Abrams detailed how he wrote one offer for $101,000 above the asking price and another for $90,000 above and lost them both last month. But he adds that blaming sluggish … [Read more...] about Metro Denver housing market selling homes faster and faster

I was honored to speak at this past weekend’s Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), which saw thousands of Americans gather to hear former President Trump and other conservative leaders. Judicial Watch is one of the nation’s most widely supported conservative groups and a fan favorite at CPAC. This is for good reason, as we address the rule of law crisis so many here in DC would rather avoid, as you’ll see in my CPAC remarks below: Judicial Watch is your watchdog in Washington – Hillary Clinton knows who we are, and President Trump knows who we are. I’m not sure what Joe Biden knows, but millions of patriots across the nation know and support our heavy lifting to expose and stop government corruption. Judicial Watch is famous for using the Freedom of Information Act to figure out what the government is up to. No one has done more to uncover government corruption – from Benghazi to Clinton emails to Obamagate to the Biden family racketeering scandal. The rule of law … [Read more...] about Fitton: Defending the Rule of Law

close Video Flu hospitalizations drop this year amid coronavirus pandemic Dr. Marc Siegel tells ‘Fox & Friends Weekend’ that public health measures such as mask-wearing have contributed to the decline. Thousands of American lives have been lost to the novel coronavirus this past year, but one historically lethal illness has taken a backseat this season: the flu, which, according to federal health estimates, has killed only one child this year. For context, nearly 200 pediatric lives were lost during the 2019-2020 flu season, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). There have been just 1,499 clinical laboratory-confirmed cases of influenza this year, per estimates from the CDC, which also shows that flu-related hospitalizations are significantly lower this season compared to seasons past. Between Oct. 1 — the start of flu season — and Feb, 20, there have been some 183 laboratory-confirmed influenza … [Read more...] about Flu kills 1 child this season amid steep decline in cases: CDC
