It’s really hard to argue that voting for Trump isn’t racist. I don’t understand this as a matter of basic political strategy, but then I haven’t understood Beto’s strategy from day one. When he entered the race (before he entered, in fact) he was savaged by the left as a fake progressive.

A shortage of a versatile medicine used to treat immune disorders and other diseases has forced U.S. hospitals and infusion clinics to suspend treatment for many patients. The medicine, immune globulin, contains antibodies harvested from plasma, a component of blood. The injected product helps people with compromised immune systems fight off infections, and treats certain muscle and nerve disorders. The drug’s shortage increases the risk of infection for patients and the amount of pain they are suffering, doctors say.

4:50 p.m. A person familiar with the Manhattan jail that housed Jeffrey Epstein says it was so short-staffed on his last night alive that one guard on his unit was working a fifth straight day of overtime. SNIP 1 p.m. A law enforcement source tells The New York Times financier Jeffrey Epstein was alone in his jail cell the night of his apparent suicide. SNIP 12:45 p.m. A law enforcement official tells The New York Times that Jeffrey Epstein should have been checked on by guards in his cell every 30 minutes, but that didn’t happen the night before he...

Late Saturday night, the Wikipedia page for "the Jessica Yaniv waxing case" disappeared. Activists had tried to delete the page earlier this week, and it appears their efforts were successful. A biological male originally named Jonathan, Yaniv claims to identify as a woman and has attempted to force female-run waxing studios to perform Brazilian waxes on his private parts. When the studios refused, he filed human rights complaints against them. One of the women shut down her business because of his complaint. The case is currently before the British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal.

Each time a mass shooting strikes one of our communities we grieve. We gather our loved ones. We reach for answers and clamor for action. Each time, for a moment, it feels like this time will be different. But then the news cycle rolls on. And we push down the gut-churning knowledge that it will be only a matter of time before it happens again. Between El Paso and Dayton only about 13 hours elapsed. Republican leaders try to prevent action and parrot N.R.A. messaging — as Donald Trump did last week when he said, “Mental illness and hatred pulls...

Text: Romans 8:26 Lord Jesus, teach us how to pray, as You prayed in the darkest and also the brightest moments. Give us Your Spirit, that in all confidence, we may pray to Your Father, and ours too by faith in You, talking to God as dear children talk to their dear father. In all our wants and needs, in times when we need to ask, and times when we need to praise You, oh Lord. Teach us to pray in Your saving Name. Amen. Prayer is healthy. Prayer is powerful. Prayer is pleasing to God. People who pray are...

Q is the result of the sacrifices and commitment of countless patriots to win back our captured country from the Deep State and achieve the transformation President Trump promised in this campaign video. President Trump has said the awakening of the public is key to this transformation. Q describes this awakening as follows: "The Great Awakening ('Freedom of Thought’), was designed and created not only as a backchannel to the public (away from the longstanding ‘mind’ control of the corrupt & heavily biased media) to endure future events through transparency and regeneration of individual thought (breaking the chains of...

LA mayor meets with Pope FrancisThe two discussed climate change, poverty, and immigration at Vatican Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti met Pope Francis in a private audience at the Vatican Friday, where the two discussed “the priorities of climate change, young people, poverty, and immigration.”“I’m so grateful to Pope Francis for the deep and humbling honor of meeting with me at the Vatican today,” Garcetti said in a statement released Friday. “I was moved by his inspired words about matters that will shape the future of our world, and to have the chance to speak to him about our mutual work...

Jeffrey Epstein's death may never be conclusively determined, because we're told standard practice in the area where he was detained is that cameras do not point inside cells. Sources familiar with the correctional facility in question tell TMZ, there are cameras in the Special Housing Unit -- the SHU -- but SOP is that cameras do not point into the cells. We're told cameras capture, among other things, the doors to each cell to determine if anyone walks in or out, but they don't point inside. One source familiar with the facility says the drill is for guards to pass...

There’s no surveillance video of the incident during which Jeffrey Epstein apparently hanged himself in a federal lockup in Lower Manhattan, law-enforcement officials told The Post on Sunday. Although there are cameras in the 9 South wing where the convicted pedophile was being held at the Metropolitan Correctional Center, they are trained on the areas outside the cells and not inside, according to sources familiar with the setup there

In the first part of this research into the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) we outlined how the committee was engaged in the 2017 effort –with specific evidence of communication– to support Robert Mueller and the ‘soft coup‘ team. [See Here] When you understand what the group was doing in early 2017, you understand why the FBI had to use DOJ official Bruce Ohr as a go-between to contact with Chris Steele. Now we move on to overlay several data-points that happened throughout 2018 that are connected to a much more troubling part of the overall issues. In 2018...

COLUMBUS, Ohio — The money, tens of millions of dollars of it, would flow among Jeffrey Epstein’s dozens of bank accounts, shell companies and, at times, charities linked to high-powered friends. Where was the money going? What was it for? Who was actually sending and receiving it? A convicted pedophile and accused sex trafficker who surrounded himself with an elite network of business and political leaders, Mr. Epstein enjoyed the trappings of great wealth: private jets, mansions, his own island. But much remains unknown about the sources of his wealth. Legions of lawyers, bankers and accountants have been trying in...

[Catholic Caucus] Francis Strengthens Position of Gay-Scandal Prelate Pope Francis strengthened the position of gay-scandal Prelate Battista Ricca in the Vatican Bank, Corriere.it (August 10) writes. Ricca will no longer be a representative figure, but will have his own office and act as a liaison between administrators and employees. He will follow the bank’s work, act as the secretary of the Cardinals' Commission and attend the meetings of the Superintendence Council. Only three months after his election, Francis named Ricca “Prelate of the Vatican Bank” although Ricca is a known homosexual. While working at the Montevideo Apostolic Nunciature, Uruguay, he...

A brief reflection on violence in our culture by Fr. Josiah Trenham. (appx 10 minutes)

What does the word watch mean in the phrase suicide Watch? Who was watching? What does camera show? It is inconceivable Epstein could have hung himself if there was a suicide Watch? Follow the motives.

From the looks of former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci's latest tweet against President Donald Trump, their relationship may not recover. "For the last 3 years I have fully supported this President," Scaramucci tweeted Sunday morning. "Recently he has said things that divide the country in a way that is unacceptable. So I didn't pass the 100% litmus test. Eventually he turns on everyone and soon it will be you and then the entire country." Scaramucci's Sunday tweet comes after Trump appeared to be angry with the former White House communications director for calling the President's recent visits to...

The two prison guards who failed to check on Jeffrey Epstein every 30 minutes were both 'working long overtime shifts at the understaffed jail' on the night he killed himself, sources claim Jeffrey Epstein was found hanged in his prison cell at Metropolitan Correctional Center on Saturday morning An autopsy conducted by the New York City Medical Examiner was taking place Sunday following his death Source has claimed guards at the jail did not follow procedure and check inmates every 30 minutes overnight One guard was working his fifth day of overtime, the second had been forced to work overtime,...

Does former Vice President Joe Biden know what year we’re in right now? Does he remember what he’s eaten for breakfast? I only ask because he’s capped off this week with two gaffes, both equally terrible. Leah wrote about his remarks about poor kids, where he said, “We should challenge students in these schools and have advanced placement programs in these schools. We have this notion that somehow if you’re poor, you cannot do it. Poor kids are just as bright, just as talented, as white kids." And now, he swears he was vice president when the tragic Parkland shooting happened…in...
