To many Americans, the rise of the “woke” must seem like a frighteningly realistic remake of the classic science fiction movie “Invasion of the Body Snatchers.” It does not take much exposure to leftist college activists and their like-minded sympathizers to feel like a significant percentage of the population has come under the spell of a ruthless alien ideology.The forced resignation of The New York Times’s editorial page editor James Bennet by staffers who objected to his publication of a conservative op-ed, the push by Princeton University professors to create a committee to oversee “racist behaviors, incidents, research, and...

There have now been 48,299 coronavirus cases reported at 37 universities in the United States. Of those cases there have been ONLY 2 hospitalizations. And there have been ZERO DEATHS!

'I've been a police officer for 30 years, and I've never seen anything like this' A military veteran was robbed in Virginia while he was dying from a heart attack. The sickening video shows the suspect appearing to help the Air Force veteran, but he was actually stealing money out of his wallet. Ray Bass took a city bus in Richmond to his doctor's appointment at the McGuire VA Medical Center shortly before 11 a.m. on Sept. 10. While in transit, the 66-year-old suffered a heart attack. Riders informed the driver that a passenger had collapsed. The driver pulled the...

Total victory is upon us, folks. And some Republicans have managed to get on a path towards redemption with conservatives. Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) said he wouldn’t block the nominee. Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) is a ‘no,’ but as we’ve said before—Maine is an oddball state. She gets a pass. Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), a runner up in the biggest pain in the a** contest among the GOP, did initially say that she’s opposed to filling the Supreme Court vacancy left by Ruth Bade Ginsburg, but is now changing her tune. The last justice passed away last Friday making the...

At the beginning of the debate, Trump should say, "You know what, Joe? Let's switch podiums." Watch the panic as Trump comes over to the rigged Dem podium/teleprompter. He should also bring -- and display/explain for the TV cameras -- a device that jams earpiece transmissions.

In a recent survey of about 50,000 Iranians over the age of 20, a Netherlands-based secular research group found that 1.5% of respondents identify as Christian.Applied across Iran’s population of more than 80 million, the number of Christians in Iran is “without doubt in the order of magnitude of several hundreds of thousands and growing beyond a million,” the research group GAMAAN said after the study.Open Doors USA, a global persecution watchdog organization, says until now, there was no in-depth research to substantiate the claims about the number of Christians in Iran. “Given the high-stakes consequences of leaving Islam in...

The frigate, Bonhomme Richard, commanded by John Paul Jones, engages HMS Serapis. During the battle, with his ship nearly destroyed, he refuses to surrender, shouting “ I have not yet begun to fight.” With assistance from the Continental frigate Alliance, John Paul Jones captures Serapis. Two days later, Bonhomme Richard sinks under the sea.

Dear friends, in light of Supreme Court Judge Ruth Bader Ginsburg's passing into ETERNITY to give a FULL account to her ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Creator and to her SUPREME ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Judge; nothing is needed to be said about her unrighteous war against her ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Creator, for it has been very public and on display for years for all to see. Her godless mind, her lawless actions, and her vile passions have testified to all that she absolutely disdained her ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Creator and did all she could to get Him removed from our national public square (Rom. 1:18-32)! Indeed,...

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas — and, at least for one night, Hanukkah — at Hallmark Channel. The basic cable network has unveiled its slate of 40 (!) original holiday movies airing in 2020, including The Christmas House, starring Mean Girls‘ Jonathan Bennett as one-half of a gay couple looking to adopt their first child. The lineup also includes Love, Lights, Hanukkah!, a Hanukkah-themed flick featuring Star Trek: Discovery‘s Mia Kirshner and Boy Meets World‘s Ben Savage. The three dozen-plus films feature a plethora of network vets, including Candace Cameron Bure (in her ninth Hallmark Christmas movie),...

The United Methodist Church is calling on U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to release an undocumented immigrant and father of two U.S. citizens they say was detained on church grounds in a Maryland suburb of Washington, D.C., on Sept. 10. Binsar Siahaan moved to the U.S. from Indonesia in 1989 on a temporary visa. Soon after, his wife, Eko Sukemi, moved to be with him but both overstayed their visas when they expired a few years later. In 2003 the couple applied for asylum on religious grounds, according to The Washington Post, but two years later an immigration judge ordered...

The "creative director" of our local Alamo Drafthouse Theater is holding a League of Women Voters registration event AT the theater AND mentioned on local TV it will correspond to running the "On The Basis of Sex" RBG movie in honor of her death. I emailed and asked if she was trying to alienate half of the theater's business and she claimed none of this is partisan, including the League of Women Voters. This seems outrageous, but then again the Alamo chain is based in Austin so this may be their typical politics. The only reason I've patronized it is...

No excerpt allowed from Bloomberg, story here.

For years we have exposed vulnerabilities in our election systems. Yet the mainstream media has shown no interest in reporting any of these problems, which can lead to election fraud or administrative errors and mistakes by election officials. Quite the opposite. Even once respectable media companies like Reuters play for the other team, the side that denies election fraud and hides breakdowns in the election process. Now, Reuters has made it personal, publishing a 3,000-word hit piece, entitled “Special Report: How a small group of U.S. lawyers pushed voter fraud fears into the mainstream.” The article is riddled with errors....

Teleios evaluated whether those who most ardently adhere to several key foundational principles of Christianity (prayer, faith, praise, outreach, Bible study, belief in salvation by grace and security of salvation) have better wellbeing compared to those who practice these measures less frequently. Our database included 14,422 participants. Those who most frequently did Bible study, taught and shared the gospel had statistically better wellbeing than the rest. Further, the more participants adhered to these principles the higher their wellbeing scored compared to less adherent. IN SUMMARY, our research suggests that increasing adherence to the foundational principles of Christian faith enhances wellbeing....

Mitch McConnell Is the Stuff of Democrats’ Nightmares If he wasn’t already. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell will soon be a permanent fixture in the nightmares of Democrats. After President Trump took office, McConnell went from being a useless GOP leader who is only concerned that everyone at the Capitol Hill Club is having a polite time into Super Republican. Should this all go away in November, never let it be said that Cocaine Mitch didn’t make the most of his time as majority leader. McConnell is well-positioned to have his majority place a third conservative justice on the Supreme...

The Democrats' Daddy Warbucks is back and once again using his money to try to buy an election. Michael Bloomberg is among a group of rich people hanging around Florida and offering free fine payoffs to released felons in a more-than-implied exchange for their votes for Democrats. Bloomberg isn't playing non-partisan in this, a frequent dodge of leftists, he's shoveling $100 million of his own cash to make sure Florida votes for Democrats, and this is part of his game. That would be the same Michael Bloomberg who was last seen blowing a billion on his own presidential campaign and...

VIDEO AT LINK. This is a crime in Florida. I don't know about Colorado..............................

California is a mess; no secret there. But the degree of decline that befalls it, and the quickness with which that decline is moving, seems to be largely ignored, particularly by Californians themselves. The nation's most populous state, and arguably its most naturally beautiful, is falling apart virtually everywhere we look. Yet state and local governments not only insist on moving forward with leftist policies, but continually double down by moving even farther left, and the state's voters return them to office with ever-increasing electoral margins. California's current approach to virtually all aspects of society — the economy, environment, legal...

Which Duty AR is King? – Nick Perna, a former soldier and currently a cop, weighs in on whether the M16A2 or M4 is a better overall weapon system. Age equals experience. One of the few perks of getting old is that you get exposed to more things throughout the course of your life. This includes weapon systems. I’ve been making a living with a firearm since the late 1980s. In jobs ranging from the military, bounty hunting and law enforcement, I've carried a wide variety of handguns, long guns, crew-served weapons and other things that go "Bang!" I've personally...
