Advocates for the mandate are looking for a confounding variable that — when properly controlled — will reveal the heroic performance of mask mandates as life-saving actions taken by enlightened governments. Almost certainly, they will settle on population density as the knight in shining armor...

A horrific scene was captured on video as a man was fatally run over by several vehicles in Los Angeles — and the awful people who passed by did nothing to help. The man pleads with one man who stopped for help, but he got into his car and left after the man was run over by a second vehicle and dragged 60 feet.

If the Progressives (socialists, globalists, Deep State) were hoping President Trump would go quietly into that dark night, they are sadly mistaken. If the Progressives were praying that Trump would cower in obscurity after November of 2020, their prayers have not been answered. If the Progressives were dreaming that Trump and the Trumpsters would never be heard from again, their dreams have become a nightmare. Rather than looking like John Adams or Jimmy Carter or Bush 41, Trump is showing a remarkable resemblance to President Andrew Jackson. The political histories are remarkably similar. As we approach the first 100 days...

If Democrats are in charge of your suburban zoning laws, get ready for the death of your quality of life. His Fraudulency Joe Biden’s $2.3 trillion “infrastructure” plan includes provisions to annihilate suburban single family housing. This from the far-left USA Today pretty much sums it up:

While COVID-19 slowed hiring across the country for much of the past 13 months, many companies are still actively searching for eager college graduates and entry-level employees to fill a range of internship roles.

UNC ends conservative student-group event based on COVID-19 mask violations Student leader claims protocols not observed by protestors By ANNE DELANEY April 15, 2021 An event hosted by a conservative University of Northern Colorado student group was terminated Monday because of violations of the university’s mask policy during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to university officials. A student leader of Turning Point USA at University of Northern Colorado said a double standard employed by UNC allowed the evening to turn “rowdy” and “one step away from being violent” after a group of protestors interrupted a speaker event for about 100-150 people...

In a 2013 Facebook “chat” he even claimed to have advised his wife that she should fire a shotgun in the air if she was concerned for her safety! “I said, ‘Jill, if there’s ever a problem, just walk out on the balcony here, walk out and put that double-barrel shotgun and fire two blasts outside the house.'” The fact that the then-vice president of the United States of America, a man who went to law school, would offer such advice clearly is a problem. As was noted at the time, firing a shotgun in such a manner – unless...

It continues to be a mystery why this country’s corporations refuse to learn the lesson of previous companies who have endured bottom line harm for entering the social activist arena. Dick’s Sporting Goods, and Gillette are just a few of the big names who suffered following social signaling as a company.Despite these glaring examples of paying a steep price for trying to appeal to non-customers the practice still continues. Not having learned from Gillette, Harry’s Razors recently made the public announcement it was severing its connection with The Michael Knowles Show, after years of being a primary advertiser. This was...

It’s just the flu, bro. From a lefty government media in Canada: https://www.cbc.ca/news/health/vaccination-infection-covid-19-immunity-1.5865984 And another source: https://m.bdnews24.com/en/detail/coronavirus-pandemic/1834241 Why are people who have tested positive for Coronavirus being pressured to get the vaccine? The two articles above love vaccines and desperately wanted to say that vaccines confer greater immunity than the disease itself, but they couldn’t because it isn’t known to be true. So we have special privileges (attending Buffalo Bills football games) that are being granted to those who have the vaccine compared to those who have tested positive. Why? Compliance. The government wants compliant people and the pharmaceutical industry...

Just hit the wires… Congressional Democrats plan to unveil legislation expanding the size of the Supreme Court on Thursday, according to three congressional sources familiar with the closely held measure. The bill would add four seats to the high court, bringing the total to 13, from the current 9. The number of justices on the Court has fluctuated widely throughout the course of the nation’s history. Republicans currently hold 6 seats, while Democrats hold just 3 after the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg and the quick confirmation of Justice Amy Coney Barrett. The bill is led by House Judiciary...

CNN has not been able to corroborate exactly what happened in the case. Lázaro...

“‘Truly I say to you, today you shall be with Me in Paradise’” (Luke 23:43). The circumstances are never too adverse, nor the hour too late, to offer the gospel of Christ to someone. Jesus was crucified between two criminals (thieves)—one on each side of His cross. At first the two men both joined the onlookers in hurling unbelieving rhetoric at the Lord (Mark 15:32). But one of the thieves obviously had a change of heart as the hours elapsed. He rebuked the other thief by pointing out Jesus’ sinlessness (Luke 23:40-41) and then expressed his need of salvation: “Jesus,...

The apostle Paul instructs us, “Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually” (1 Corinthians 12:27). Then he says more specifically, “For in fact the body is not one member but many” (12:14). Paul is telling us, “Take a look at your own body. You have hands, feet, eyes, ears. You are not just an isolated brain, unattached to the other members. Well, it’s the same way with Christ. He’s not just the head. He has a body, and we comprise its members.” Paul drives this point home, saying, “The cup of blessing which we bless, is it...

In the search for life on other planets, the presence of oxygen in a planet's atmosphere is one potential sign of biological activity that might be detected by future telescopes. A new study, however, describes several scenarios in which a lifeless rocky planet around a sun-like star could evolve to have oxygen in its atmosphere. The new findings, published April 13 in AGU Advances, highlight the need for next-generation telescopes that are capable of characterizing planetary environments and searching for multiple lines of evidence for life in addition to detecting oxygen. ...
