Prayers up for all the families suffering from the impact of this virus. And we're praying that the spread continues fading and that an effective treatment and vaccine are developed before the next flu season starts. And we pray that our people are able to go back to work in greater and greater numbers as the great Trump economy comes roaring back. And I believe we the people are going to tire real soon about the democrats allowing the radical leftist revolutionary blackshirt/brownshirt squads of their party using violent organized fascist tactics to rampage, riot and burn our once beautiful...

<p>Nineteen black families pooled their resources to purchase 97 acres of land in eastern Georgia to create what they hope to be a “safe space” for black families.</p> <p>Real Estate agent Ashley Scott purchased the land with the family, declaring to CNN “Welcome to Freedom” as she stood upon the land she co-owns. “I’m hoping that it will be a thriving safe haven for people of color, for Black families in particular,” she told the news outlet.</p>

The U.S. Forest Service estimates that dead stands in the Creek fire contain 2,000 tons of fuel per acre. As of Saturday, the fire had charred more than 196,000 acres, destroyed 365 structures and was threatening 14,000 more in the vicinity of Big Creek, Huntington Lake and Shaver Lake. Firefighters don’t expect to contain it until mid-October. For those who have studied the potential fire effects of the vast beetle kill, the Creek fire is a harbinger. One of hundreds of major blazes to erupt in this record-breaking fire season in California, the Creek fire has underscored the urgency of...

FOX News came out with its poll results again this Sunday. This poll consistently is skewed towards the Democrats. Today we explain why this is and offer estimates when eliminating this polling bias. (Hint – Trump is way ahead!) FOX News came out this morning with the results of its poll where they again show former Obama Vice President Biden ahead of President Trump in the polls – 51%-46%. This is in spite of no excitement for candidate Biden who is taking questions using a teleprompter and can’t seem to get out of his basement.

Only 16 days to the first presidential debate, and Dementia Joe Biden is resting up this weekend after a hard week of hitting the road, Jack. Only one problem for Joe: Whenever he ventures outside his basement, he often loses stuff — his mind, his train of thought or at least his notes. All dialogue guaranteed verbatim: “I carry with me — I don’t have it. I gave it, I gave it to my staff. I carry it with me in my pocket a — do I have that around anyone? Where’s my staff? I gave it away anyway …”...

Kenosha, Wisconsin has been ravaged. Minneapolis has been burned. Black Lives Matter and Antifa continue to tear the heart out of once-great cities like Portland. A siege of the White House is being planned. Nationwide, violence has moved into suburban areas and residential neighborhoods. Groups of extremists are specifically targeting the residences of mayors, chiefs of police and other political enemies. The establishment press continues to peddle the notion that what we are seeing across the nation is nothing more than “peaceful protest” designed to achieve change within the existing system. No doubt, even many people in the streets believe...

Joe Biden will participate in a CNN town hall with Anderson Cooper on Sept. 17 from Scranton, PA, his original hometown. The event will be Biden’s first town hall since he won the nomination. It also will take place two nights after President Donald Trump headlines an event with ABC News, moderated by George Stephanopoulos from Philadelphia. The CNN event will feature a live audience, but they will be socially distanced and will follow state health guidelines.

Areport from the UK’s Office of National Statistics (ONS) shows that since at least June 19th, more people in the UK have been dying of influenza than Covid19. This, of course, is despite the fact that “Covid19 deaths” are incredibly vaguely defined. Under UK law a person only has to test positive for the Sars-Cov-2 virus at any point in the 28 days prior to their death for “Covid19” to be on their death certificate, a policy which totally ignores the fact the majority of Sars-Cov-2 infections are completely symptomless (and has already resulted in huge over-counts). Meanwhile boring old...

My patience has run out. As the country has been engulfed by rioting, looting, and violence since mid-summer, I’ve tried to couch my criticisms of the Black Lives Matter movement in ways that show grace to those who I truly feel are discussing issues in good faith. And while I’ve always known the actual BLM organization was a dumpster fire, I knew there were others who simply considered themselves part of a broader, more positive path that paralleled some aspects, but didn’t buy into everything BLM espoused. I can’t make that distinction anymore. BLM has lost that right with their...

As soon as Donald Trump announced his candidacy in 2015, screams of "Narcissist!" resounded through cyberspace. It was the perfect label at the perfect time. The whole Narcissism trend had just started and I was in the perfect place at the perfect time too. As Trump began his presidential campaign, I began writing PsychCentral's first dedicated narcissism blog, Narcissism Meets Normalcy. As election day, November 8th, 2016 approached, my Facebook friends began saying, "Lenora! You're going to vote for Trump? How could you? He's a narcissist! You hate narcissism." That beat continues. It's assumed you can't care about mental health...

A Black Lives Matter mob swarmed the hospital where two deputies were taken for treatment after being ambushed and shot. They blocked doorways, threatened officers at the scene and attempted to force their way inside. ...

Attorney General William Barr during a Friday interview with the conservative website Townhall.com excoriated the mainstream media, saying that many seek to accomplish partisan political aims rather than report the truth. "They're basically a collection of liars," Barr said according to Townhall. "Most of the mainstream media. They're a collection of liars and they know exactly what they're doing. A perfect example of that were the riots." "Right on the street it was clear as day what was going on, anyone observing it, reporters observing it, it could not have escaped their attention that this was orchestrated violence by a...

Trump must rout Joe Biden and the left by running up the score without mercy. The challenge for America is that mercy seems wired into the DNA of this great country — we feel bad when the other team is crushed and want to "pull our punches." Despite past and present faults, America remains a generous country that winces at others who suffer. Even our war machines reflect the unspoken creed of "loving who's behind us rather than hating those in front of us."

So what's Bernie Sanders up to these days, now that the Democratic Party has gotten rid of him a second time? Backseat-driving for Joe Biden, it seems, murmuring to people who are somehow all leaking to the same reporter at the Washington Post that Joe is blowing it.

Is pedophilia on the rise or is it just being exposed on a broader scale? Pedophilia has always existed but up until recently, it was thought to be uncommon. Not anymore. It seems that everywhere we look, from Hollywood to the Pentagon, and even the NSA, pedophilia is prevalent. The truth is, pedophilia is far more common than people think and there is a growing subculture seeking to normalize the idea of adults having sex with little children and in some cases, infants. This group even has its own symbols and logos used to communicate with each other. How did...

The unity of Senate Democrats allowed the minority party to prevent a COVID relief package from being debated. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) cited "the inclusion of a 'poison pill" for his Party's filibuster. The "poison pill" is allowing parents to choose the school their children will attend. "The Republicans know that there is no way a Democrat could vote to permit school choice," Schumer fumed. "The whole reason why we have public schools is because parents aren't fit to decide where or how their children should be educated. In states where school choice is permitted, segments of the...

Shouldn’t Florida elections be more competitive? Amendment #3 will be on your November 3rd ballot. It will change Florida's Constitution on how we vote in our primary elections. Most people have no idea what it is about. If it passes it will end our closed hyper-partisan primary system that currently locks out 3.6 million Floridians from state legislative and executive leadership races. As a fellow voter, I’m concerned about the lack of competition in many of our legislative districts. Too many incumbents run unopposed. Many other races are guaranteed wins for one major party or the other, and they are...

...BLM Responds By Rushing the Scene.Two Los Angeles County Sheriffs deputies were sitting in their patrol car in Compton on Saturday night when they were ( ambushed and shot at pointblank range. Surveillance video shows the two officers did nothing to deserve the ambush and it came on without warning or provocation. When the two deputies – a 31-year-old mother of a 6 six-year-old and a 24-year-old male – were rushed to the hospital, rioters showed up outside of the emergency room. Rioters shouted, "We hope they die!" The LA County Sheriffs Department had to take to Twitter to remind...

Within the space of one hour, Univision chose to omit mention of a protest (yet again), while giving the Democratic vice-presidential candidate celebrity treatment during a PR stint that included an "unannounced" visit to a Venezuelan restaurant in an effort to attract Latino voters. As you can see from the following video that compares the Telemundo and Univision reports on Harris's trip to South Florida, Telemundo anchor Jose Diaz-Balart did acknowledge that “outside, there were also protesters with pro President Trump posters.” What he did not say was that the group, from Latinos for Trump, was there on behalf of...

Everywhere they turn, they're told that America sucks; that they are racist; that they are uncompassionate Christian bigots, homophobes and sexists. They are vilified as intolerant by the most intolerant of people and censored by those waving the banner of free speech. Most people have no way to respond to the bullying. They're often too intimidated to share their opinions for fear of being demonized. They have their talk radio and television defenders, but they've had no one in elective office to stand up for them and their essential goodness and dignity. No prominent public official has stood athwart this...
