  • Judge’s Ruling Appears To Seal Stacey Abrams’ Fate. She’s Finished.

    While much of the nation’s attention has been focused on the post-election shenanigans in south Florida that resulted in a recount for the U.S. Senate seat and governorship, the governor’s race in Georgia also remains uncalled at this time as Democrat-led legal fights have delayed the certification of the vote totals in the hope of similarly triggering a recount or runoff election. Those efforts to delay the inevitable declaration of victory for Republican candidate Brian Kemp may have finally run their course, though, and even as Democrat candidate Stacey Abrams camp is calling a federal judge’s ruling on Wednesday a...

    Wake up America. If you believe the House of Representatives controlled by Democrats and the Senate controlled by the GOP is a good thing, you better think again.. For starters the House Democrats under blank brain Pelosi have made their intentions clear: Investigate, prosecute and maybe never legislate. They’ve already announced their intention to subpoena Trump as part of a wide ranging investigation probably collusion with Russia, his tax returns. women he grabbed, women who grabbed him, cheating in golf using a “foot wedge” and horror of horrors, using an environmental unfriendly hairspray. Seriously, the Democrats are about to unleash...
  • Call Them What They are: REGRESSIVES!

    Sorry, but NO. They are NOT progreassive and every conservative who calls them "progressives" plays into their dictionary mangling strategies when we wimpishly comply with their demand to call them progressives. They ARE REGRESSIVES regressing the Nation all the way back to Babylon and deliberately offering babies to Molech burning them alive on the brass arms of the idol. The babies may now be offered to satan by abortion agents to the idol of globalist depopulation schemes but the spiritual effect from God's perspective is quite similar and the looming judgment accordingly will be quite devastating when God unleashes it--hopefully...
  • Designer baby fears grow..new test that can predict an IVF embryos' risk of having a low IQ [tr]

    UK Daily Mail ^ | November 15, 2018 | Sam Blanchard
    IVF clinics may soon use a controversial screening technique to get rid of embryos which are likely to grow up with low IQs. A company in the US offering tests which can pick out 'mental disabilities' – and, in theory, predict intelligence – has confirmed it is in talks with fertility clinics. The news has stoked fears about a rise in designer babies, which could be created by parents wanting to erase undesirable traits from their children. Experts say it is 'repugnant' to think about terminating embryos because they are expected to have lower than average intelligence.

    “The Vagina Monologues” used to be celebrated as a subversive blow against patriarchy, or something. Now it’s just viewed as another invalidation of transgender lives. The Women’s Resource Center at Eastern Michigan University is pulling the plug on productions, claiming it can’t legally alter the script created by Eve Ensler, MLive reports:

    WASHINGTON — Say it ain’t snow! The weather outside really is frightful Thursday, and staying home for a lot of school kids in the Washington area is surely delightful. But D.C.’s first snowfall has created conditions that are cold, wet and dangerous for many commuters. It isn’t just snow either. There’s also sleet and freezing rain to contend with. Check out photos of winter’s first slap of the season below.

    The Florida Squeeze ^ | 11/14/18 | Kartik Krishnaiyer
    Democrats in Florida have successfully steered the public narrative toward recounts and potential vote theft thus delaying any sort of inquest into another cycle of under performance. Not only did the Democrats appear to lose 4 of 5 statewide elections in what should have been a wave year but lost all 5 Congressional races that were in the “leans Republican” category according to various metrics. Each of those five seats saw the Republicans win by at least six points. Minimal gains were made in the legislature where the Democrats could have as many as 17 Senators and 48 State Representatives,...

    You’re not the center of the universe. In fact, no one really cares about you. It’s harsh, but true. Sure, you have family and a few great friends. They will take particular interest in various parts of your life, helping you when needed. But they don’t care about you nearly as much as you care about yourself. Ultimately, you’re not top of mind to anyone but yourself. When properly understood, this is incredibly freeing and valuable.

    A white professor at the University of Texas at San Antonio has come under fire allegedly calling the police on a black student for putting her feet up on a chair. Biology professor Anita Mos is now under investigation for potential discrimination after footage of her kicking Paige Burgess out of her Anatomy & Physiology class on Monday, went viral. The video, filmed by a classmate, showed the moment three campus officers arrived at the classroom. Moss then directed them towards Burgess who stood up, and was escorted out.

Co-owner Ben Wolfgram told the outlet that most of his employees were "excited" to receive their firearm. "I've never been a part of anything like this," employee Chelsea Priest said.

    A woman in Shamong Township, Burlington County, was found living with 44 dead dogs and 130 living dogs in "deplorable" conditions, State Police said. Donna Roberts, 65, was charged with animal cruelty Tuesday after State Police from the Red Lion Station inspected her home on Oakshade Road. With the Burlington County Health Department, authorities discovered "evidence of animal cruelty inflicted upon various breeds of dogs on the property," State Police said in a statement. The odor of animal feces and ammonia permeated the inside of the residence, which caused several responders to feel dizzy and nauseous, State Police said. The...

    I just uploaded a new video--no cuts, no titles, no photos. There’s no time for that right now. I knew about the massive voter fraud that has been occurring since the recent elections. But frankly, I didn’t realize it was THIS BAD! I saw a GatewayPundit.com article this evening that was alarming, to say the least. It chronicles just how bad the fraud is. How bad? Check out the title: Since Election Day, Democrats Have Picked Off Over a Dozen GOP House Seats and 2 Senate Seats… And Are Going for More! I discuss the article’s highlights and their frightening...

    In the early evening following the midterm elections, Fox News host Tucker Carlson’s wife was home alone when she suddenly became startled by a loud thumping at her door. The thumping came from a group of Antifa radicals, whose desire it was to strike terror into the hearts of Mr. Carlson’s family. Susan Carlson ran upstairs as the mob of vigilantes that CNN prefers to refer to as “protesters,” screamed disgusting threats at the Carlson residence, spray-painted the driveway and continued to try to force entry through the front door, which they broke. The only thing seemingly missing from this...
  • MacArthur loses New Jersey House race to Democratic challenger Andy Kim

    The Hill ^ | November 14, 2018
    ep. Tom MacArthur (R-N.J.) lost his seat to Democratic challenger Andy Kim on Wednesday, resulting in a near-wipeout for the GOP in the state, The Associated Press reported. With MacArthur's loss, Democrats successfully flipped four Republican seats in New Jersey in the midterm elections this year, some of which had been held by the GOP for decades. Come January, there will only be one Republican congressman from New Jersey — Rep. Chris Smith, who easily won reelection in a Republican-friendly district. MacArthur's race was considered a toss-up, though President Trump won the district by 6 points in 2016.

    OCT. 17, 2012 Pope Benedict XVI granted a rare interview to the creators of a documentary in which he said that he is “convinced” that “there will also be a new springtime for Christianity” in Europe. The movie, entitled Bells of Europe: A Journey Into the Faith in Europe, considers Christianity, European culture and the future of the continent. In addition to the Pope, it features interviews with leaders of the other main Christian denominations in Europe, as well as leaders in politics and culture. “Young people have seen much — the proposals of the various ideologies and of consumerism...

To subscribe now, go here.A review of -Seven Types of AtheismBy John Gray(Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2018)This is a justifiably testy book, by an atheist about atheists. Perhaps it means that the long and lucrative fashion for books about how God does not exist, and how God is simultaneously hateful and wicked, is over. Since John Gray is a capable thinker, knowledgeable about philosophy and a respecter of facts, the recent outburst of arguments for and even about atheism, presented as...

    Robert De Niro may have been the target of the Donald Trump-supporting pipe bomb mailer, but that isn’t stopping the Oscar winner from trashing the president. Just two days after playing Robert Mueller again on “Saturday Night Live,” De Niro zinged the commander-in-chief with more verbal zingers. In presenting Billy Crystal with the Friars Club’s entertainment icon award on Monday night in New York City, De Niro first shouted, “F— Crystal!” as a wink to his condemnation of Trump at the Tony Awards earlier this year. “I just get so upset with that jerkoff in the White House,” he said,...

    A horse was found in the backyard pool of a Paradise, Calif. resident, after the animal apparently tried to find a safe space as the Camp Fire moved through town. Paradise resident Jeff Hill shared photos of the horse Sunday on Facebook. The photos showed the horse in a pool, but entangled in the pool cover. Recommended Video "There's no telling how long she was there but she was shivering uncontrollably," Hill wrote. "She was all caught up in the pool cover but her being suspended by it prevented her from drowning." Hill said he and a friend undid the...
