Where's Johnny Carson when we need him?

Renewable energy is dependent on limited quantities of rare earth metals. The largest concentration and supplier of rare earth metals in the world is China. The United States has very small amounts. If Biden is elected and forces drastic reduction in petroleum we will become dependent on Chine for our energy supply.

As I will explain below in more detail, this is good news out of NC. Republicans won early voting yesterday, albeit by roughly 1,000 votes, cutting .5% from the Democrats' early voting lead. This is the 4th straight day that Republicans out-voted Democrats in early voting. Dem: 49K early votes (1,255,960 total EV) (40.51%) Rep: 50K early votes (929,324 total EV) (29.98%) The black percentage of the EV electorate remained flat at 20.56%. Note: Yesterday was supposed to be a "Democrat day" in early voting. Democrats do much better on weekends, and there were a number of voter drives organized...

If we had an honest press, Joe Biden wouldn’t be running for president. Biden’s mental deterioration or apparent status as some Ukrainian/Russian/Chinese mafioso would have long ago torpedoed his career.  But it is what it is. Today’s press is not the unbiased watchdog that our founders granted constitutional protection. Today’s press is nothing more than a biased, butt-kissing left-wing self-licking ice cream cone. Today’s media are Stalinist to the core. They are prejudicial liars who promote poisonous propaganda to manipulate public opinion. And during the 2020 Election, rather than covering a story about Biden family corruption, media scum-suckers are running cover for...

Unable to deal with Iran’s growing poverty, economic crisis, and the COVID-19 epidemic that has ravaged the country, the regime’s Supreme Leader has opted to increase suppression to intimidate Iranians into silence and prevent protests. In their Friday sermons, Khamenei’s representatives lashed out against civil liberties, including “lack of hijab” and “dog walking”, once again signaling where the regime’s priorities lie. Ahmad Alamolhoda, Khamenei’s representative in the northeastern province of Khorasan Razavi, and head of Mashhad Friday prayers said Khamenei had ordered the police to crack down on civil liberties. “According to an order issued by the Commander in Chief...

As the US elections draw near, any number of Doomsday predictions fill the airwaves. In one scenario, Donald Trump is reelected. But even before the final tally is in, massive riots and looting – some spontaneous, others pre-planned – are launched on American streets. This results in the president invoking a national state of emergency and bringing in troops and tanks, sparking a full-blown race war. A different scenario has Joe Biden winning the race, which also causes mass demonstrations, this time sparked by radical elements who want to overturn the foundations of American democracy and culture and impose their...

Here we go, folks. This election will determine whether we continue on as a free Republic with the Constitution and the rule of law preserving our republican form of government as established and continue guaranteeing our God-given Liberty or we go Venezuela. If we lose this election, the radical socialist-democrats will attempt to impose their globalist Green New Deal and carry out their plans to pack the courts and do what they wish as a godless one-party state with no constitutional constraints. Then (assuming they were to succeed in subduing we the people--we do have a prior and higher claim...

The weekend after Joe Biden told voters he would eliminate the oil industry, Kamala Harris rescheduled a previously canceled visit to Cleveland, Ohio. Harris didn't know exactly where she was in flyover country when the left-coast liberal spoke to voters on Saturday. "Are we in Cleveland?" Kamala asked a man who handed her a microphone. After the man told the California liberal that indeed this is what Cleveland looked like, Kamala feigned warmness for the small crowd gathered. "Hey, Cleveland!" Harris said. "It's Kamala!"

It is no secret that art, sacred art, and beauty more generally, are under assault. New “multicultural” guidelines are dictating how art is to be constructed and rewarded. Artistic talent is shunned in favor of diversity quotas. The way to be an artist and art critic, nowadays, is to cry racism or sexism. Theogonis of Megara divided mankind into two classes of people, the base and the noble. As he said, living through a revolutionary period in ancient Greek society during the rise of democracy, “The deckhands are in control, and the base have the upper hand over the noble.”...

Multiple pictures and videos allegedly showing Democratic Presidential nominee Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden engaging in sexual acts with several women and using drugs went viral on the Internet on Saturday, October 24, making people question if the visuals were fake or real. According to a Washington Examiner report, the videos and photos were uploaded on the Chinese website GTV, with many of the pictures seemingly from a third-party laptop. GTV, a subsidiary of GTV Media Group, was established in April 2020 by Chinese billionaire Guo Wengui and Steve Bannon, a former senior adviser to President Trump. “U.S. presidential candidate...

THIRTIETH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME MATTHEW 22:34-40 Friends, in today’s Gospel, Jesus names love of God and neighbor when a scholar challenges him to identify the greatest commandment. Since love (caritas) is what God is, it is also that virtue that conforms us most dramatically to God. Thomas Aquinas says, in eloquently simple language, that caritas is friendship with God. In his great farewell discourse, offered the night before his death, Jesus says to his disciples that he no longer calls them servants, but friends—and in this he opens up a new world. In any other religion, a human being...

Florida Update: VBM Ballots - DEMs lead by 594,110 In-Person Early Voting - REPs lead by 230,261 Combined Early Voting - DEMs lead by 363,849

If you want to know why early voting stinks, the burgeoning Biden crisis should inform you. Estimates are that about 50 million Americans have voted, as of this writing. That’s before or as the gravest scandal in the history of presidential politics unfolds. The allegations against Joe Biden are stunning. They involve corruption and the risk of treason. Influence-peddling with the Chinese, Russians, and Ukrainians, to the tune of multimillions of dollars pocketed by Biden and his family. The PRC, Putin, and others appear to have the goods on Biden. That makes the former vice president subject to blackmail. At...

Hope this is ok...

Chelsea Handler explained why she took ex-boyfriend 50 Cent to task over his Trump endorsement during an interview Friday. 50 Cent has backed Trump Monday after seeing supposed Biden tax numbers. Handler then tweeted at him that 'black lives matter. That's you! Remember?' Handler said Friday that if 50 Cent changed his position on Trump, she might be willing to 'go for another spin' with him. 'So he doesn't want to pay 62 percent in taxes because he doesn't want to go from "50 Cent" to "20 Cent" and I had to remind him that he was a black person,...

What the frack was Joe Biden thinking? Or is this what happens when the teleprompters are off, live TV is on, and a pandering politician befuddled by it all riffs — and whiffs? Thursday night, from Erie to Pittsburgh, Harrisburg to Minersville, Wilkes Barre to Somerset, Pennsylvania voters learned the truth about Joe Biden’s “inconvenient truth.” He’s now okay with fracking, but clearly not okay with oil and gas. The reactions were faster than Biden’s attempts at cleaning up what he’d stepped in later that night.

Former GOP and absolute toad Peter Vroom was so outraged by three nuns who attended a Trump rally in Ohio that he wanted to FIND THEM. How DARE those nuns support the only president to actually take on Planned Parenthood … the nerve of those broads.

The sale of gasoline in socialist-controlled Venezuela is increasingly being controlled by socialist warlords in a similar manner to drug trafficking, Argentinian outlet InfoBae detailed in a report Friday. Amid chronic gasoline shortages across the oil-rich nation, socialist militias and military officials have taken advantage of the unmet demand by gaining preferential access to supplies and selling them at markups of up to 1000 percent. One of the groups also taking advantage of the supply and demand is the People’s Liberation Army (ELN), a communist terror group based in Colombia and supported by Nicolás Maduro’s socialist regime. According to one...

In a year with an assembly line of tumultuous events, few have cited taxes as a major presidential campaign issue — until the recent debates. But after months of economic uncertainty, financial security is on everyone’s mind. “It’s the economy, stupid” has been the most reliable election fundamental since 1992. This year, both candidates hold significantly differing views on their idea of prosperity. And taxpayers won’t let media-fueled chaos distract from that reality either. Joe Biden, the Democratic nominee, has promised to fully repeal the 2017 federal tax cuts that benefited most Americans. At the same time, Biden claims his...
