A central California city is reeling after a nondescript warehouse turned out to be an illegal lab with deadly pathogens, including coronavirus, HIV, and malaria.If it were not for an errant hose sticking out of the back of the warehouse last spring, city officials would not have known that a shady biotech company with links to China had set up shop there, filling it with industrial freezers, hundreds of vials of viruses, and about 1,000 dead and dying lab mice.Government investigators also found Covid diagnostic and pregnancy tests at the underground testing facility that they believed were being developed there,...

American culture is becoming more hostile toward children as “pedophilia is growing,” Tim Ballard, a former special agent and the subject of the movie “Sound of Freedom,” told Fox News Digital.“Our American culture is actually normalizing sexual behavior with children by, for example, trying to change the name of a pedophile to a minor attracted person, the stuff they’re giving children under the guise of sexual education,” Ballard said. “It’s a dangerous time for children.”

Modernists like to manipulate words, often “spinning” them into meanings that appear simple but are relatively obscure. For example, consider the modern misuse of the terms like “accompaniment,” “social justice,” or even “woke.” Such is not the case with the architectural style known as “brutalism.” The Architecture of Despair Merriam-Webster defines brutal using the words cold, harsh, severe, unpleasant and lacking sensitivity. A bit further down the page, it refers to brutalism as “a style in art and especially architecture using exaggeration and distortion to create its effect (as of massiveness or power).” While many might not be familiar with...

MSNBC co-host Mika Brzezinski said Friday “Morning Joe” the Republican Party is the party of “inhumanity” in policy and behavior. Brzezinski said, “I ask again and again who raised you, men and women in the House and the far right? I mean, would your mothers like your behavior today? This party, when it comes to policy, and I have talked about this before, it is not exaggerating, calling it the party of inhumanity. A party that has no sense of empathy or humanity when it comes to policy or behavior.” She added, “This is a party, and I’m talking about...

The Holocaust - Night Will Fall “Today it is the unborn child; tomorrow it is likely to be the elderly or those who are incurably ill. Who knows but that a little later it may be anyone who has political or moral views that do not fit into the distorted new order?” – Attributed to Dr. Mildred Jefferson People are desensitized to violence every day – there is so much of it in real life, in computer games, and on television. The plots of Hollywood enhance cruelty, senseless and twisted insanity, tribal violence, wars, gang violence, and drug violence. Jihadi...

Rep. Tim Ryan (D-Ohio) announced he was switching sides in the pro-life vs. pro-choice debate. The former pro-life Democrat claimed he had an epiphany persuading him that abortion is a woman’s right and that no government had the authority to intervene for any reason. “It is the Congressman’s position that it is not for anyone else to judge whether or when an abortion should or shouldn’t be permitted,” Ryan’s chief of staff Ron Grimes maintained. “And yes, this means up until the moment of birth and for whatever reason the woman finds meaningful, including the sex of the fetus.” Grimes...

On March 6, former Army Staff Sergeant turned military...

Many years ago, I was surprised to receive a letter from an old friend, saying that she had been told that I refused to see campus visitors from Africa. At the time, I was so bogged down with work that I had agreed to see only one visitor to the Stanford campus — and it so happens that he was from Africa. He just happened to come along when I had a little breathing room from the work I was doing in my office. I pointed out to my friend that whoever said what she heard might just as well...

N.Korean Gulag Musical Premieres N.K. Prison Camp Musical Falls Foul of Seoul Officialdom A controversial musical set in a North Korean gulag has at last been staged, overcoming pressure from powerful circles to bin the production for fear of offending Pyongyang. Wednesday night saw the opening of “Yoduk Story” at the Seoul KyoYuk Munhwa Hoekwan auditorium. It has been a difficult road for producer Chung Seong-san, himself a North Korean defector, that saw him reportedly exposed to death threats and official pressure. “Yoduk Story” centers on Kang Yeon-hwa, the daughter of a party official and a promising dancer. When...

U.S. troops are obligated to stop Iraqi security forces from committing inhumane acts, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said Tuesday. Speaking to reporters, Marine Corps Gen. Peter Pace said that if U.S. servicemembers see inhumane treatment, it is their obligation to “to intervene, to stop it.” Pace’s remarks come after U.S. troops found a prison run by Iraqis in which detainees allegedly had been tortured. He said the U.S. commander who found the prison acted correctly by working with the Iraqi government, which is investigating the matter. After making his comments, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld intervened to...

recently came face to face with a level of Western ignorance that I hadn't encountered since the 1980s, when Russian immigrants were still a novelty to Americans. A British-American asked my father a question that could only come from someone who has known freedom his whole life: "Why did you leave Russia? Your family was there, you had a job, you had free health care. Why did you leave?" The questioner, a former editor with the New York Times, then proceeded to assert that today's Britain and U.S. are no longer free. The exchange reminded me just how out of...

Not an Agent of the Death Cults Typical agent of the Death Cults: any convicted killer.Process: killer gets a full hearing after full hearing based upon any evidence or grievance or procedure overlooked that a criminal lawyer can dream up. Result: killers, as a class, gain protection. Every effort is made to preserve the life of the condemned man until all appeals have been exhausted. That protection is institutionalized to the extent that justice is delayed to the point that justice is denied. Whatever deterrence that executions have to suppress similar murders by others is diminished. Not an agent of...

Two-time Emmy winner and New York Times best-selling author Patricia Heaton pled for the life of Terri Schiavo today as Terri's life-sustaining feeding tube was removed. Heaton serves as Honorary Chair of Feminists for Life of America. "We must not let Terri Schiavo be starved to death," said Heaton.

Fifteen years ago Terri's husband Michael testified in the medical malpractice suit he filed: "I believe in the vows I took with my wife: through sickness and health, for richer or poor. I married...

And while many political observers fully expect the power hungry former First Lady to hit the campaign trail within only a few months of being re-elected as a US Senator in 2006, US News & World report claims to have a confirmation of sorts.

HBO is airing this week on Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel the true face of the Middle East. Slavery in babies stolen from Pakistan and Bangladesh live as slaves to their fabulously rich masters and are forced to ride and race camels as tiny tots.

Where is the United Nations? Don't miss this fabulous HBO investigation. You will think better of HBO afterwards! Details may be...

 Required reading Voters should know the contents of The 9/11 Commission Report | by Joel Belz 9/11 Commission: The final report With Election Day just three months away, some folks are campaigning for stiffer standards at the polls. I couldn’t agree more. When my wife and I voted in the North Carolina primary a few days ago, no identification of any kind was asked for. We could have been Islamic terrorists appropriating the names Joel and Carol Belz. If it’s OK in America to ask for a photo ID to drive a car, why not to vote?But for Election Day...

The Passion’s Message Paul Craig Roberts Tuesday, Mar. 02, 2004 Mel Gibson’s film of Jesus’ last hours is an intense experience. One sits for two hours watching Jesus be sadistically treated by his fellow men. Race and ethnicity are immaterial to Gibson’s purpose. The overpowering message of the film is that Christ really suffered for man’s sins. A second powerful message is man’s inhumanity to man, a message identical to that of Holocaust museums. One gasps at the sight of Jesus brutalized by the thugs sent by the priests to seize him. As shocking as these scenes are, they leave...
