They know better than the experts they revered just months ago. It’s nothing new for political religions to produce radicals that develop their own sects or cults. This time around, rigid devotion to enforcing mask compliance has produced runaway fanaticism based on nothing but blind faith that more mask-wearing is always better. Even the public health experts, whom these followers all promoted as great prophets just months ago, can’t tame their fervor. That’s a problem, because a return to normalcy will require subduing radical factions that agitate for oppression. Restrictions such as mask mandates are like oxygen to followers of...

Since Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s death on Friday, the propriety of the Senate confirming a replacement justice before the 2020 election has dominated the news. Nearly every take that could be made has been, from both the left and the right. It is hard to care about propriety, however, when two years ago Democrats served as accomplices to Christine Blasey Ford, who offered false testimony, under oath, to the U.S. Senate in an attempt to thwart the Supreme Court confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh. In the words of her whom they hoped would nominate the next several Supreme Court justices: “What difference...

Democratic nominee for vice president Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) campaigned in Detroit, Michigan on Tuesday at an event billed as "Shop Talk" with local black leadership outside Headliners Barbershop on the city's west side. Harris complained President Donald Trump is "literally trying to wipe out history" by getting rid of race-training seminars in the federal government and trying to stop teaching "the truth about racism" in America. "On behalf of the Wayne State Black Student Union, we want to know that given that America is built on racism, sexism, and other evils (from questioner, not from Harris), how will you...

So, you want to be a man or woman of God? If so, you are going to be served a cup of pain. You’ll weep because of something much worse than physical pain. I’m speaking of the pain of being bruised and rejected by friends; the pain of parents when children trample their hearts and become strangers to them; the pain between a husband and wife when walls are built up between them. Oh, the turmoil that comes, the restless, sleepless nights — knowing that God is real, that you are walking in his Spirit, that you are loving Jesus...

Gov. Newsom ramps up benefits for California’s imported electorate. Last Friday, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed Assembly Bill 1876, which removes the requirement for a tax filer to have at least one child under the age of six to qualify for California’s earned income tax credit. “Expanding the CalEITC,” Newsom said in his signing message, “will provide a critical boost to undocumented and mixed-status families across the state, stimulate the economy and make us all stronger in the face of economic uncertainty.” This was only California’s latest benefit for false-documented foreign nationals illegally present in the United States. Newsom’s first...

Rates of chlamydia and gonorrhea are increasing among women ages 18 to 30 in the United States, a recent study by Quest Diagnostics suggests. The study, recently published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, analyzed more than 17 million laboratory samples taken between 2010 and 2017 from females ages 12 to 30. Researchers found that while there was a decline in cases of chlamydia and gonorrhea among adolescents ages 12 to 17, women of ages 25 to 30 experienced a 50% increase in positive test results. Women 18 to 24 had a 21% increase in positive test results over...

“The main hope was that at the very least Malcolm wouldn’t rape anyone else.” "Yes, We Mean Literally Abolish the Police," Mariame Kaba's New York Times op-ed blared. The debate over defunding the police was underway and Kaba, the godmother of police defunding, wanted to make her position clear. Essence had called Kaba a "modern day abolitionist". Black Lives Matter Chicago traces its roots to her. Every lefty media outlet from NBC News to The Intercept had promoted her. And now Kaba was taking her message of getting rid of prisons and police, and turning over the streets to the...

If you’re a public-minded student or teacher committed to reducing the death toll from Covid-19, what is the morally correct way to behave? According to the epidemiologist Sunetra Gupta, you should do just about the opposite of what’s being preached by college presidents, teachers’ unions, political leaders, and the scientific and media establishment. Unless you’re elderly or particularly vulnerable, you shouldn’t be wearing a mask all day, or shaming others for going unmasked. You should be careful not to endanger the vulnerable, but otherwise you should be exposing yourself to the virus in order to promote herd immunity. Gupta, 55,...

Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem Lambs, Sheep, and Shepherds. Genesis 31 Jacob Prepares to Meet Esau 32 [a]Jacob also went on his way, and the angels of God met him. 2 When Jacob saw them, he said, “This is the camp of God!” So he named that place Mahanaim.[b] 3 Jacob sent messengers ahead of him to his brother Esau in the land of Seir, the country of Edom. 4 He instructed them: “This is what you are to say to my lord Esau: ‘Your servant Jacob says, I have been staying with Laban and have remained there till now. 5 I have...

Former Vice President Joe Biden is touting the endorsement of Cindy McCain, the widow of the late Sen. John McCain (R-AZ). Biden claimed Monday — falsely — that President Donald Trump had disparaged soldiers as “suckers” and “losers.” Biden actually said far worse about McCain while he was still alive, and the two were on opposing sides in the 2008 election.

Ecuador’s navy said on Tuesday that Chinese fishing vessels have gradually left the area near the Galapagos Islands and are now operating in international waters off Peru, following months of fishing that spurred criticism from environmental groups.

Rush Limbaugh toyed with the idea that Senate Republicans skip the confirmation hearings for President Trump’s next Supreme Court nominee. scotus hearings Limbaugh, a conservative radio host, mentioned the idea during his Monday broadcast. He believes whoever the nominee is, Democrats will be planning to drag their name through the mud, just as they did with other Republican presidential nominees. “I want the Judiciary Committee — I think it’d be great if it were skipped,” suggested Limbaugh. “We don’t need to open that up for whatever length of time so that whoever this nominee is can be Kavanaughed or Borked...

In May, the Trump administration seized a 250-ton, $3 million Chinese high-voltage transformer that was on its way to Colorado. The manufacturer of the high-voltage 500,000-pound transformer was Chinese company JiangSu HuaPeng Transformer Co., Ltd., or JSHP, which shipped the transformer from Shanghai to the Port of Houston in August 2019. JSHP’s North American representative Jim Cai told Motherboard his company planned to spend a couple of hundred thousand dollars to transport the high-grade steel using a particular kind of railroad car to WAPA’s Ault substation in Colorado, where JSHP would then install it. Like all electric substations, the Ault...

#Bears Hall of Fame running back Gale Sayers, one of the most exciting players to ever play the game, has passed away. He was 77.

“Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? who hath babbling? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes? They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine. Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright. At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder. Thine eyes shall behold strange women, and thine heart shall utter perverse things. Yea, thou shalt be as he that lieth down in the midst of the sea,...

With Biden’s failing mental capacity his election would trigger a constitutional crisis. Should his dementia and brain strokes make him incapable of making decisions, a swift military action by a foreign enemy requiring immediate response would be in limbo until the VP would take over. But if Biden has “good and bad days” he could find a doctor to back his case to step back in power. Total chaos. Here’s the test of the U. S. Constitution 25th Amendment that’s cover this situation. It’s inevitable should Biden win that such a crisis would befall the nation. “Section 4 Whenever the...

Bombard, like many Americans, believes Joe Biden is a victim of elder abuse. It is more obvious by the day.

Chuck Schumer, Senate minority leader, says, "Our No. 1 goal must be to communicate the stakes of this Supreme Court fight to the American people." He continued, "nothing is off the table." Nothing? Not even violence? After the confirmation hearings of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, members of the Trump administration were being assaulted in publics spaces, in restaurants. Sen. Schumer is right that the American people must know what's at stake. Will we have a culture of life and civility, or a culture of death, violence and chaos? The abortion rate in Schumer's own New York state stands the...

I watched the entire two hour hit piece by PBS on the history of Biden and Trump from their childhood until being nominated in August 2020. If the voters only watched Frontline, they would be convinced that Biden is the favorite and Trump is bad.
