Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) The only thing “green” about this stunt was the 4 million British pounds it cost to build the contraption. – 16-year-old Swedish student Greta Thunberg has been hailed globally as a “climate change” hero for crossing the Atlantic recently on a solar-powered boat. The trip took 15 days to complete, and got her more free, fawning media coverage than Irish Bob O’Rourke received last year in his failed race against Ted Cruz. But it turns out, as all these Climate Scam stunts do, that the stunt was just a stunt and not...

But the Noahides are a theological phenomenon of very recent vintage. It’s a form of Zionist mission, which seeks to create a world religion whose believers adore the Jewish people and the State of Israel – without belonging to either. The believers are required to accept the supremacy of Judaism but are not accepted into the Jewish people and are even barred from upholding such commandments as Sabbath observance. Anyone who wishes to be a Noahide is called upon mainly to recognize the Jewish people and its state. ... He called on them to renounce Christianity and to burn their...

The front of Monday’s New York Times featured reporter Lisa Lerer on failed feminist Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand of New York, who tacked hard to the left on immigration and gun control in a failed attempt to appeal to today’s Democratic Party: “Gillibrand’s Failed Run Shows Feminism’s Promise and Limits.” She dropped out of the race last week. Lerer lamented: We just need more women. Through Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin, Carly Fiorina and Michele Bachmann, that’s the argument that strategists, political scientists and pollsters focusing on female candidates make about the race for the White House.

Former sex educator Monica Cline said Planned Parenthood pushes sex education that “grooms” children for promiscuity and leads to abortion. Cline worked as a sexual health education instructor in collaboration with Planned Parenthood in Texas for ten years, she told the Daily Caller News Foundation.

Crisis pregnancy centers (CPCs) save thousands of women and babies each year which, makes them public enemy number one to the abortion-worshipping left in Hollywood. In the third season of Netflix’s 13 Reasons Why, Chlöe (Anne Winters), a pregnant teen seeking an abortion, is “tricked” into going to a CPC -- a “traumatizing” event, according to Entertainment Weekly. EW’s Sydney Bucksbaum interviewed Winters about her character’s abortion episode in an article published on Wednesday. Bucksbaum took the occasion to bash a crisis pregnancy center as a “fake abortion clinic” and attempted to buttress her critique by citing a damning quote...

In events marking 80 years since Nazi invasion of Poland that started the war, genocide of Jews was swallowed up like it never happened. The right-wing nationalist government in Poland can celebrate a great victory. In the long war over the “culture of memory,” an objective it set for itself upon coming to power in 2015, the last bastion was conquered yesterday. After Israel’s recognition last year of the Polish narrative – which emphasizes the suffering of the Polish nation and minimizes its part in causing suffering to another nation – now Germany and the United States have also been...

For two and a half years, the United States has pursued two contradictory and incompatible strategies [1]. On the one hand, the destruction of state structures in large areas - the enlarged Middle East since 2001, then the Caribbean Basin since 2018 - supported by the Department of Defense (Rumsfeld / Cebrowski doctrine) [2]; On the other, the control of the world energy market (Trump / Pompeo doctrine), supported by the White House, the CIA and the State Department [3]. It seems that President Donald Trump is about to impose his thoughts on his administration, still dominated by officials and...

As summer ends and the race for the 2020 Democratic U.S. presidential nomination shifts into a higher gear, former Vice President Joe Biden's perilous position atop the vast field stands to be tested under even more pressure. Biden, 76, has consistently maintained a comfortable lead over his rivals. But his campaign has been plagued by doubts over his age, fitness for office and whether, as a moderate, he can be a standard-bearer for a party that has grown increasingly liberal. Those questions are likely to be magnified in the coming weeks. Labor Day serves as the traditional marker for the...

Miranda Devine lashed out after claiming a new book praises Michelle and directs “thinly veiled criticism” at Melania. The book, ’Melania & Michelle: First Ladies in a New Era’, was deemed “troublesome” by the journalist after author Tammy R. Vigil explained Melania’s “difficulties” with the fact she “followed a popular and competent first lady”. Writing in a New York Post column, Ms Devine described the book as “a mere bipartisan assessment of the public images of both women”. Ms Devine claimed Melania had not committed “the same errors of arrogant overreach” like other First Ladies before her. She added: “Melania...

Kirsten Gillibrand was applauded by many in the media as the Democratic presidential candidate focused on “women’s rights,” or, more specifically, abortion. But, in the end, that wasn’t enough to win Democratic voters – never mind general-election voters. On August 28, New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand ended her presidential bid after failing to qualify for the next Democratic presidential candidate debate, scheduled for September 12. “I wanted you to hear from me first, that after more than eight incredible months, I am ending my presidential campaign,” she announced to her supporters in a video posted on social media. While the...

Jefferson City) -- Two groups are suing Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft for his handling of an attempt to block new abortion regulations. The American Civil Liberties Union of Missouri and the No Bans on Choice Committee say Ashcroft refused to issue the ballot language needed to start collecting signatures for a public vote. In a press call on Thursday, representatives of the groups say Ashcroft robbed Missourians of 78 days by giving abortion rights advocates 14 days to collect 100,000 signatures. “We had to face reality and we know that we can’t ask our volunteers in good faith to...

I have a Kimber pepperblaster that I brought to Spain from America when we moved here in 2016. Odds are it's 4 years old now, the shelf life Kimber claims for it. Does that mean the pepper concentrate is no longer viable? They say that the spray isn't pressurized so it can't lose pressure over time so I'm trying to figure out what dies on it after 4 years. BTW I can't just get a replacement. Pepper Spray is legal in Spain but only at 5% strength. The Kimber is 10%.

It was a warm June afternoon when Judith Plaskow got the email reminding her of a guest arriving soon. The woman staying at Plaskow's Washington Heights apartment was a stranger who needed to be picked up at the Port Authority bus terminal on Manhattan's West Side. She was young — just 19 — and had never been to New York City before. Plaskow guessed she'd be scared. The woman wasn't coming to the big city for thrills or fun. There'd be no Broadway show, no visit to the Empire State building. She was making a 10-hour trip to receive safe,...
