Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Andrew Wheeler on Monday warned in a letter sent to California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) that his executive order banning gas-powered vehicles may be unlawful, Reuters reports. Wheeler wrote that Newsom’s plan “raises serious questions regarding its legality and practicality” and argued that it may cause further issues problems plaguing the state’s electrical grid. “California’s record of rolling blackouts – unprecedented in size and scope – coupled with recent requests to neighboring states for power begs the question of how you expect to run an electric car fleet that will come with significant increases in electricity...

As the left brags about how much Joe Biden paid in taxes, they missed one important question Paying more in taxes means often correlates with making more in revenue. Just how much revenue does Joe Biden make? Following yesterday’s NY Times bombshell (that is actually a nothingburger) about President Trump’s questionably acquired tax returns, one of the big focus points is how much the President paid over the years in income tax. They’re playing on the ignorance of the American people who do not understand how taxes, depreciation, and real estate investing work at that level, but nevertheless it makes for...

'The whole world now is being treated and reprimanded, in a unified manner, like little children – up to the smallest details on how to dress, that is, with the face mask, how one may move about, how much distance to keep, on the entire globe, and in a unified manner!'September 28, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – In a new interview, Bishop Athanasius Schneider discusses the response to the coronavirus and sees in the global response to it “signs of a world government.” He also points to the plans of Freemasonic groups which work for “equality, liberty, and fraternity,” adding that with...

New Cardinal Touts Globalist Agenda 'A revolution is underway' ROME (ChurchMilitant.com) - A European cardinal is praising the radical German "synodal way" and its promotion of theologically radical feminism.  Werner Hoyer In a recent interview with katholisch.de, Cdl. Jean-Claude Hollerich, S.J., of Luxembourg discussed his openness to "priestesses" while also touching on illegal foreign refugees and the effects of the COVID-19 closings on the future of the Church. Hollerich, president of the Commission of the Bishops' Conferences of the European Community (COMECE), is one of the most prominent cardinals in Europe.  Hollerich, who was appointed cardinal by Pope Francis in 2019, said he is "open" to women becoming "priestesses." "It is...

Washburn University removed the statues of Ben Franklin and Thomas Jefferson from their campus saying that they didn't want those statues to be an embarrassment to alummi. On 8/21/2020, they quietly cancelled a black lives matter rally that was to be held in their stadium. Their excuse was coronavirus. They've just announced the rescheduling of the event to 10/02/2020. I've contacted the University but they need to hear from many more people, so I'm spreading the news far and wide in hopes that an avalanche of emails may cause them to rethink this poor decision.https://washburn.edu/about/leadership/executive-staff.html

Zen as Italian bishops back China VATICAN CITY (ChurchMilitant.com) - Pope Francis, esteemed for his embrace of "human fraternity," has reportedly refused to meet U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo or dissident Chinese cardinal Joseph Zen a week before publishing his encyclical Fratelli Tutti (All Brothers).Cdl.

Joe Biden's not the only who gaffes. I mean, it could happen to anyone. Personally, I'm prone to the odd spoonerism...right words, wrong order. In February 2018, Nancy Pelosi filibustered for eight hours and seven minutes in 4" heels on behalf of The Dreamers. While I admire her bladder control, it got me wondering what else she's had to say. Turns out, she's had some real doozies. It was Nancy Pelosi who brought us this unforgettable beauty: "Pass the bill to find out what’s in it." Because that's how representative government always works. Uh-huh. While we're on the topic of...

As you might recall, we've been reporting on Trump's plans to invoke the Insurrection Act after the election, deploying military troops on the streets to halt the extremist left-wing political coup attempt that's expect to be activated shortly after the election. Now, fascinating news has emerged that confirms US federal intelligence officials have, for months, been quietly identifying the participants and leaders of both Antifa and BLM terrorist organizations, including wealthy donors who are funding these operations. It turns out that Trump's DHS has been using sophisticated phone "cloning" hardware to impersonate the phones of Antifa and BLM extremists in...

Here is an idea for the silent majority to protest. Just go in all plain clothes, no signs, no banners, no chanting, no other crap, do not engage the leftists, just every Saturday at high noon go to the state capital or city hall and just do the "Sandman Smirk" and stand there for an hour. Then leave at 1:00pm, set your cell phone alarms to go off at 1:00pm and all leave at that time, go home. If you talk to fellow people there, only speak quietly. The whole idea of this is to show that the silent Majority's...

Democrats and their media allies are warning that putting Amy Coney Barrett on the Supreme Court would doom the Affordable Care Act. They predict that tens of millions would be thrown off Medicaid and the sick would lose their “pre-existing-conditions” protections. This is fear mongering. Here’s a rundown of the false claims, with the facts that disprove them. Whopper No. 1: Joe Biden warns that Barrett’s nomination is “an opportunity to overturn the Affordable Care Act.” There’s little chance of that. Barrett is a true conservative who believes judges are called to apply the law, not legislate from the bench....

New affidavits filed in the Texas Supreme Court allege a massive illegal mail-ballot harvesting scheme is underway in Texas’ most populous county, and “elite” Democrat officials are leading the effort. Harris County has received attention over the past several weeks for its proposed plan to send mail-in ballot applications to all 2.37 million voters in the county regardless of eligibility, thereby inviting fraud and abuse into the process. New testimony suggests that may only be the tip of the iceberg. As part of a new lawsuit filed in the Texas Supreme Court against Harris County Democrat County Clerk Chris Hollins...

How is Biden prepping. Is he hitting the bag? Is he getting ready for the drug regimen Is he practicing listening to his handler and working on his puppet string reactions? Is he working on his Joe Biden patented shtick of feigned moral outrage at any challenge? Mr. Dog Faced Pony Soldier is TOAST regardless. Chris Wallace needs a good ass kicking too!

Former National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster swiftly dismissed CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer’s suggestion that the military might get involved if President Trump fails to concede the election. “If the president were to lose the election on November 3rd and if he were to refuse to concede,” Blitzer began. “What role would the U.S . military have to play in that type of scenario?” The Lt. Gen. replied, “Absolutely no role, Wolf.” McMaster even chuckled at the prospect. “Those who suggest that the military would have any role in transition, they are being equally irresponsible,” he added.

Elon Musk has revealed he will not get a coronavirus vaccine when they're available because he's 'not at risk' and defends keeping his Tesla factories up and running amid the pandemic. The 49-year-old tech giant defended opening up Tesla factories in defiance of lockdowns - a lengthy saga that has seen him sue Alameda County, launch a profanity-laden rant about how lockdowns are 'unethical' and allegedly fire employees who didn't feel safe enough to return to work. The Tesla and SpaceX founder said Monday in an interview with Kara Swisher on the New York Times' podcast Sway that even when...

Second seems to be India with 1.5 billion people, and the numbers would be probably at least 50...

A COUPLE of generations ago sanitary conditions on shipboard were either of the crudest or did not exist at all. It is a fact that in the days of the famous Yankee clippers the crews of those and contemporaneous craft were absolutely without toilet conveniences. The first-class passengers of the sailing "packets" of the 1840's and 1850's and still later had no bathing facilities and the so-called lavatories were as foul as they were inefficient. The unfortunates who had to journey in the steerages were even worse off, the filth and immodesty of the sanitary arrangements, if they could be...
