Think about how much worse life would be without the internet. We wouldn’t have video chats on Skype. We wouldn’t have baby pandas sneezing on YouTube. And we wouldn’t have Chelsea Clinton getting into an argument over philosophy and Nazism on Twitter. It started when the former First Daughter tweeted a Washington Post article on Friday about an arson attack at a Phoenix LGBT center, along with the message “The banality of evil” — a phrase coined by 20th-century Jewish philosopher Hannah Arendt in her classic book “Eichmann in Jerusalem.” Brooklyn College political science professor Corey Robin thought that Clinton...

Andrea Parker speaking at :15)......Its amazing the support we are having......We had a rancher from New Mexico come down. She said how important it was for her to be down here and for ranchers to support other ranchers. We had another gentlemen from San Francisco come down here with his children.....Seeing and meeting all these people who have come from all over the country to stand with us has been inspiring to me...... Andrea Parker speaking at 1:17) Ranger Alexandra Burke was here as well as Swanson. They were the "victims" (Bunkerville 2014) in the courtroom. Alexandra Burke had a...

The very premise of Obamacare was flawed, and in fact, it was never even designed to work for an extended period of time. But now that Congress has failed to do away with it, the president is going “Full-Tilt” in his plans to make the “No” voters pay. On Saturday, he Tweeted: If a new HealthCare Bill is not approved quickly, BAILOUTS for Insurance Companies and BAILOUTS for Members of Congress will end very soon! At first, it may just seem reactionary, but this is a major threat that will hit the Democrats right where it hurts: in the demographics!...

There is an oft-neglected principle taught in the New Testament. I call it the principle of “graduated responsibility.” This principle is taught by Jesus in Luke 12:48: “From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded” (NIV). This saying is part of the parable of the faithful steward. It underscores the terms of the judgment the lord in the parable renders to his servants. The punishment meted out is given in direct proportion to the prior knowledge each servant had: “That servant who knows his master’s will and does not get ready or does not do what his...

It’s Monday, and in case you’re wondering what you should be grateful for this week, Gerard has assembled an impressive list: 220 MAGA Things: Trump @ Work |The First Six Months. And while you enjoy not being tired of winning yet, I will be searching out an HVAC contractor to look at my  air conditioner that decided to go on vacation yesterday. And if I need a new one, I’ll be thankful that I can still buy one that is made in the USA. Posted from: MOTUS A.D.         

Rep. Marsha Blackburn said Monday that the Senate needs to “show some spine” and help fix the heath insurance problem. “President Trump, I believe, is looking to solve the problem. The problem is we’ve got the Senate who cannot seem to — you know they like to work in gangs. We’ve had the gang of seven or eight. I want the gang of 51. I want the Senate to show spine and fix this problem,” Ms. Blackburn, Tennessee Republican, said on CNN. Mr. Trumptweeted over the weekend to slam the “bailouts” for members of Congress buying insurance on the Obamacare...

Full Title: A new tax on sugary drinks designed to generate revenue for cash-strapped Cook County will be the third burdensome tax applied to soda prices in Chicago, making a $4 12-pack of soda in the city cost $5.97.

With the new sugary beverage tax, soda in Chicago will be...

As has been the case with the Democrat Party since the Clintons took it over a quarter century ago, whenever they are accusing any Republican of a bad behavior, it is a very safe bet that they are doing so in order to deflect attention from the fact that they are engaged in the very same behavior, or worse. Over the last few weeks, we are now finally beginning to discover the real reasons why the Democrats and the fake news media have invested so much time and energy since November 8 of last year in promoting their Russia Collusion...

Her Most Britannic Majesty's Navy ends the tradition of the rum ration to its sailors. It will be known as Black Tot Day. Flogging was ended in 1879, now only one traditions remains in the Royal Navy.

North Korea’s launch of a second intercontinental ballistic missile Friday—a missile some believe has the potential to reach U.S. cities—led to speculation that the U.S. would go to the U.N. to seek an emergency session and a resolution to put more pressure on the rogue state. CBS News reported Saturday that the U.S. was seeking an emergency session on Monday, but Haley shot down such reporting as “mistaken.” “There is no point in having an emergency session if it produces nothing of consequence,” Haley said, before noting that North Korea is already the target of a number of Security Council...

“We cannot tolerate this any longer,” said the former CIA Director at the head of the table. “We have to forcibly retake the government from Donald Trump. It is the only way save our democracy.”His audience nodded solemnly. The men and women gathered at that secret February meeting on the top floor of 241 West 41st Street, the New York Times building, were Democrat politicians, media figures, retired and active members of the federal security bureaucracy, and several Establishment Republicans, and they were at wit’s end. There simply was no other choice. Donald Trump must be replaced, and it no...

Advocates for Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program took an intersection hostage near the Texas capitol this week which ended in 15 of them being arrested for obstructing a highway and being charged with a Class B misdemeanor.

Days after Tesla CEO Elon Musk said that artificial intelligence (AI) was the biggest risk, Facebook has shut down one of its AI systems after chatbots started speaking in their own language, which used English words but could not be understood by humans.

Evergreen State College is a really ----ing crazy place. I'm gonna honest: I'd never heard of this blight on society until last week. Now, it seems like there's a new bit of cringe coming out of there every single day. In my last post, I talked about the Bret Weinstein stuff and how a fat, white LARPer there on campus seems to be one of the main radicals pushing the idea that he's racist. But you don't get young nutters like that without some pernicious professors around to guide them down the path of leftist lunacy. That leads me to...

Pre-installed Trojan in Cheap Android Devices Steal Data, Intercept Chats Android devices are one of the most vulnerable mobile OS (operating systems) due to its open source nature.

Coal has been the driving force behind the U.S. rail system for more than a century. The stories of locomotives chugging along as workers fed shovels full of coal into the burners may be a thing of the past, but that chunky byproduct has still been largely responsible for keeping the American rail system afloat. According to the American Association of Railroads, coal amounted to almost a third of gross tonnage carried by U.S. rail in 2016. It also amounted to more than 13 percent of rail revenue. And while that may not sound like a large percentage, 70 percent...

Detectives leading the Seth Rich murder investigation agreed to meet with Capitol Hill investigators to discuss evidence surrounding the alleged hacking of Democratic National Committee emails during the 2016 presidential election, a private eye claims. But the Metropolitan Police Department canceled its meeting with House investigators on the Hill just hours before it was scheduled to take place, according to former Washington, D.C., homicide detective Rod Wheeler. “I’ve been following the arrest of Awan – this is a guy whose name came up a couple of times in my investigation as someone that I should look at,” he said in...
