Former Vice-President Joe Biden predicted that governing the country once he is elected president "may be difficult. The runaway prosperity that Trump has embroiled the country in will be hard to undo. Business investment plans predicated on low taxes and looser regulations will see the handwriting on the wall after the votes are counted and I've won. They'll rush to move money outside our borders and start laying off workers before I can be inaugurated and stop them with an Executive Order." "Thankfully, there is a bright side to an economic recession," Biden argued. "There'll be less pollution, not only...

UK abortion giant, British Pregnancy Advisory Service (BPAS), has praised Dr Fox online pharmacy for slashing the price of the morning after pill to £3 ahead of the Christmas party season and encouraging women to ‘stock up.’ SPUC’s Director of Research, Dr Anthony McCarthy said: “It should worry us that Dr Fox is being praised by the abortion industry for pushing cut-price drugs.” The price slash which has arrived just ahead of the Christmas party season and which could encourage women to engage more in “risky” sexual activity, has been applauded by BPAS representative, Clare Murphy. Murphy states that the...

In early September of this year my wife starting having problems with her feet going numb. Because she had no feeling in her feet she couldn't maintain her balance and it's become harder and harder to walk. The numbness has spread and now she can't feel her legs and even has occasional tightness in her chest. When we have to do any walking outside she now sits in a wheelchair and I push her around. She has been getting a lot of tests done and the doctors believe it is now either Sarcoidosis or Lymphoma. She is going in for...

Credit to Louise Rosengrave, writing in The Journal, for this horrifying story: “A 67-YEAR-OLD cancer patient discharged herself from hospital due to overcrowding and died four days later, an inquest heard. Elizabeth Leavy from Montpellier Road, Dublin 7 was left waiting on a hospital trolley for six hours. “She was left in the hallway beside the bins. She was afraid, in pain, uncomfortable and she was hallucinating. She couldn’t stick it,” the woman’s daughter Joy Leavy said.” Read the whole thing. It’s not hard to sympathise with the woman’s decision. Anyone who has ever spent time in an Irish hospital,...

Into a discussion about the treatment of the bodies of aborted and miscarried babies, the Washington Post brought an obnoxiously flippant parody piece purporting to support funerals for sperm. In other words, presenting us with an apple and saying, "This is a banana." Post columnist Alexandra Petri wrote on December 4, in the Opinion section, “State legislators, stop being cowards. Mandate funerals for all spermatozoa.” She began with a Pennsylvania bill that would no longer treat the dead bodies of premature babies as medical waste, but allow for their cremation or funeral services at the parents’ request. Or, as Petri...

Researchers halted an ethically disturbing abortion study recently after three women suffered serious complications and multiple babies died. The study was pro-abortion researchers’ attempt to test the abortion pill reversal procedure, which has saved hundreds of babies’ lives. Abortion activists have criticized the procedure as “junk science” and even suggested it may be dangerous, but research by the doctors who pioneered the procedure indicates it is safe for both women and their unborn babies. The recently-ended study at the University of California Davis involved performing multiple abortions on pregnant women to test the effectiveness and potential risks of the abortion...

A San Francisco Superior Court judge ruled Friday that nine of the state’s 15 felony charges against undercover journalists David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt, in a prosecution initiated by then-California Attorney General Kamala Harris, have enough evidence to proceed to a criminal trial. The judge dropped the other six charges. Daleiden and Merritt, citizen journalists with the Center for Medical Progress, were charged with 14 felony counts of illegal taping of confidential information (eavesdropping) and one count of conspiracy, in which they exposed the illegal activity of Planned Parenthood and the human tissue procurement company StemExpress. The case marks the...

Congressional candidate Pete D’Abrosca appeared on Friday night’s edition of “Tucker Carlson Tonight” to make his case for a 10 year moratorium on all immigration. D’Abrosca, running in the GOP primary against North Carolina Rep. David Rouzer, explained that his plan calls for “no net immigration to the United States.” “So, about 200,000 people leave the United States every year,” he told Fox News host Tucker Carlson. “Bringing in 200,000 legal aliens would be fine, but bottom line, we would like to have no population increase from legal immigration.” “You are not allowed to say that,” Carlson replied. “So the...

President Trump on Friday said the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is reviewing water efficiency standards, claiming that some people flush the toilet “10 times, 15 times” due to a lack of water pressure. “We have a situation where we’re looking very strongly at sinks and showers, and other elements of bathrooms,” Trump said during a small business roundtable at the White House. “You turn the faucet on … and you don’t get any water. They take a shower and water comes dripping out.” He added that “people are flushing toilets 10 times, 15 times, as opposed to once. They end...

I was just reading a reddit thread and a bunch of snowflakes were giving the op a hard time because he used the phrase "Pop out a son who is into trannys", implying that transsexualism was some sort of deviant behavior. After reading all these triggered snowflakes comments I went looking for one of my favorite Denis Leary clips, from Rescue Me. They are in a diversity training class:Diversity TrainingWhile searching for that clip, I also found this little musical gem from him, and just thought I would share.

In the fall of 2019, Republicans suffered a few serious defeats: Democrats won governor races in Kentucky and Louisiana, and consolidated the state legislature of Virginia. Too many Republican voters in both states told pollsters and reporters that the Republican candidates just hadn’t "earned their votes." They hadn't made the case for election, or reelection, or they'd lost the glow they used to have. Oh, these voters still consider themselves Republican, and voted Republican for other races, but since these particular Republican candidates didn’t "earn their votes" they denied them the prize of victory, allowing an opposition with whom they...

Fido and Sylvester could be in big trouble, according to Emma Thompson. The actress issued a strong warning on Thursday of an impending "climate crisis" so dire that people will have no choice but to eat their own pets. The actress, 60, attended an Extinction Rebellion protest outside of the BBC Broadcasting House in London on Thursday, where she claimed there is "extreme weather" ahead. **SNIP** "Better wrap up warm, stockpile food and remember there is a surprising amount of protein in the average household pet."
