The State of California will study reparations to black Americans, thanks to a bill signed into law Wednesday by Gov. Gavin Newsom. AB 3121 will create a nine-member “Task Force to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African Americans, with a Special Consideration for African Americans Who are Descendants of Persons Enslaved in the United States,” according to the text of the bill.

Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem Lambs, Sheep, and Shepherds. Genesis 42 Joseph’s Brothers Go to Egypt 42 When Jacob learned that there was grain in Egypt, he said to his sons, “Why do you just keep looking at each other?” 2 He continued, “I have heard that there is grain in Egypt. Go down there and buy some for us, so that we may live and not die.” 3 Then ten of Joseph’s brothers went down to buy grain from Egypt. 4 But Jacob did not send Benjamin, Joseph’s brother, with the others, because he was afraid that harm might come to...

If Biden won’t condemn Black Lives Matter, he supports its riots. Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is an investigative journalist and writer focusing on the radical Left and Islamic terrorism. After the recent toll of mostly peaceful Black Lives Matter rioting wrecked cities and tilted the polls toward Trump, Joe Biden and even Kamala Harris began condemning “violence”. Biden has said meaningless things like "we condemn the violence", and "I condemn this violence unequivocally" as if violence were an independent entity. Condemning violence, like condemning war, is either pacifism or evasion. Since Biden isn’t a...

Chris Wallace and Democrats can keep pretending the right is to blame for the violence. But we were in Kenosha, talking to people on the ground. Voters know who the peaceful protesters are and who the rioters are. If Chris Wallace’s goal during Tuesday night’s debate was to deflect from the months of left-wing violence from Black Lives Matter extremists and Antifa and instead blame it on President Donald Trump and his supporters, he did an excellent job.“You have repeatedly criticized the vice president for not specifically calling out Antifa and other left-wing extremist groups,” Wallace, the debate moderator who...

FRANKFORT, Ky. (LEX 18) — Millions of Americans tuned in Tuesday night to watch the first debate between President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden. But one comment in particular from President Trump, where he called for his supporters to observe voters during the upcoming November election, caught the attention of Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear. During the debate, both candidates were asked if they would encourage their supporters to remain calm during a potential waiting period for election results, caused by an influx of mail-in ballots.

An American professional cyclist was suspended from his team Thursday after showing support for President Trump in a seemingly benign social media tiff.

Senator Rick Scott has introduced legislation establishing federal rules for counting votes, which would require all mail-in ballots to be tallied within 24 hours of Election Day. The bill is an amendment to the Help America Vote Act of 2002. Known as the Verifiable, Orderly, & Timely Election Results (VOTER) Act, it would require precincts to report the total number of in-person and mail-in ballots they have received one hour after polls close.

Left-wing Hollywood carpetbaggers are hustling to flip Texas in favor of Joe Biden, urging people to donate money to Texas Democrats in the final stretch of the presidential campaign. “There’s no debate: If we #TurnTexasBlue, Trump is through,” they tweeted in unison.

EXCLUSIVE: Republican attorneys general from across the U.S. sent a letter to the Senate Thursday morning urging them to confirm President Trump's Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett. Addressing "those who believe the Senate should not hold a hearing" in their letter, which was obtained by Fox News, they quoted a similar letter that they said Democratic attorneys general (AGs) sent in support of Merrick Garland's nomination in 2016. "The Constitution clearly sets out the process for filling a Supreme Court vacancy. The president has a duty to make a nomination," the Republicans quoted from the 2016 letter, which was...

The leftist attacks on the faith, family, and character of Supreme Court nominee Judge Amy Coney Barrett are — sadly — neither surprising nor new. The initial battle plan by establishment leftists to attack the faith, family, and character of Supreme Court nominee Judge Amy Coney Barrett is neither surprising nor new. As a counsel on the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee for more than five years, I gained a clear inside look at the tactics used by Senate Democrats to personally attack GOP judicial nominees.In 2003, I was working on the committee for Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, when Judge Janice...

Tuesday night's presidential debate was, by most accounts, a train wreck. Aside from where viewers stand politically, the debate was marred by the two candidates endlessly interrupting each other. Then the moderator lost control, and chaos reigned. The Commission for Presidential Debates (CPD) on Tuesday announced that the next debates will feature a new format, saying details would be released soon. "Last night's debate made clear that additional structure should be added to the format of the remaining debates to ensure a more orderly discussion of the issues," the CPD said in a statement. "The CPD will be carefully considering...

In May 1782, General George Washington, still commander in chief of the Continental Army, encamped in Newburgh, New York, received a letter from Lewis Nicola, an Irish-born colonel in the Army. Nicola confessed he was not a “violent admirer of a republican form of government” and pointed out that though republics in the past had shone with great brightness, their luster had been of short duration. In contrast, the principal monarchies of Europe, although having had periods of vigor and weakness, still subsisted and shone with luster. Pointing out the financial difficulties of the army, which were due to lack...

Agricultural officials confirm 3 new sightings of Asian giant hornets in Blaine Officials confirmed three new sightings of Asian giant hornets in Whatcom County, increasing to 12 the number that have been reported there.

All three recent sightings were found near Burk Road, southeast of Blaine, in...

Democratic nominee Joe Biden, during the first presidential debate on Tuesday, dismissed Antifa as “an idea” when asked to condemn left-wing violent extremism – but that claim is highly disputed by Republicans and some who have covered them up-close, including the White House. “Antifa’s an idea, not an organization,” Biden said during the debate in Ohio. “That’s what [Trump’s] FBI director said.” But the mainstream media decided to focus on Trump’s stance and his refusal to call the “Proud Boys” white supremacists. Chris Wallace demanded that President Trump denounce white supremacist violence in our streets. And Joe Biden added that...

In his 2017 inauguration speech, President Trump shocked the world by promising to take on the Washington, D.C. establishment -- aka “The Swamp” -- and thereby return power to the people. The Swamp denizens seated in the main dais behind Trump that day, Republican and Democrat alike, were not pleased, to put it mildly. In fact, they were so discombobulated by Trump’s remarks that one of the biggest, meanest alligators in the whole bayou went on TV soon after and accidentally told the truth. Referring to Trump’s doubts about the trustworthiness of his intelligence agencies, fake-hair Chuck Schumer told fake-news...

Dear readers of Stilum Curiae, Big Shot has uncovered a delicious piece of news. That is, he simply read it in La Repubblica; but with his usual acumen, he immediately noted its importance in today’s panorama of the Church in which the principal argument now appears to be – in addition to migrants and ecology – money. I recall that John Paul II, when he died, left much less, only a few things. And if I do not remember wrongly, in his life he never had a bank account, not even as pope. Different times, different popes… This time the...

On Wednesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “The ReidOut,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said that he would “love to” make D.C. and Puerto Rico states and addressed the prospect of ending the filibuster if Democrats take the Senate by stating, “I’m not busting my chops to become majority leader to do very little or nothing. We are going to get a whole lot done. And as I’ve said, everything, everything is on the table.” Schumer said that Senate Democrats are “using all the tactics we can” to slow down Judge Amy Coney Barrett’s Supreme Court confirmation.
