The deal between France and the United Kingdom will do little to stem the tides of illegal boat migrants unless the British government adopts an Australian ‘turn back the boats’ policy in the English Channel, said Brexit leader Nigel Farage. Mr Farage said that his experience saving two migrants from drowning over the weekend demonstrated to him the “folly” of the government’s approach in dealing with the record waves of illegal aliens pouring over the Channel. “From what I witnessed in the Channel on Sunday morning, it’s not just the volume of those making the journey across this treacherous stretch...

If Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti gets what he’s after, “cancel culture” will soon be on steroids in response to increased coronavirus cases in his city. Here’s his explanation: VIDEOS AT LINK.............. For some reason we’re guessing “cancel everything” doesn’t include the mayor’s job — and more importantly, his paycheck. Los Angeles has had some of the most drastic shutdown measures in place for the last few months, but Garcetti seems to be saying that hasn’t worked and now the only answer is to double and triple down on more of the same.

Our rights aren’t some vague, occasionally important idea that the government grants us. Instead, they are a definite concept granted by God. When he created us, he endowed us with the rights of life, liberty, property, and, if understood properly, the right to happiness. Happiness in that context means the ability to go out and pursue your dreams to build something and seek fulfillment. For that reason, gun rights are human rights. So are free speech rights, even on college campuses. So is your right to go build something without government interference, and then pass it on to your family...

Former President Barack Obama called on the Democratic National Committee to give a bigger platform to progressives as they continue to butt heads with the party's centrist members. "One thing I will say about the Democratic Party is that promoting young people is really important. We stick so long with the same old folks and don't make room for new voices," Obama said in an interview with Peter Hamby on Snapchat's Good Luck America. Obama also acknowledge the party's controversial decision to allot Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez only 60 seconds at this summer's national convention, while handing out significantly more television...

Pope Lauds African Rite ‘Invoking Ancestors’Francis: Inculturated Zairean rite a 'promising model' for AmazonVATICAN CITY (ChurchMilitant.com) - Pope Francis is praising an inculturated African Mass rite as a model for a proposed Amazonian indigenous rite even though the African eucharistic liturgy incorporates the pagan custom of "invocation of ancestors.""Spirits of Brothers & Sisters" painting depicting ancestral religion "The Zairean rite suggests a promising way also for the possible elaboration of an Amazonian rite," writes Francis in his preface for a new book titled Pope Francis and the Roman Missal of the Dioceses of Zaire: A Promising Rite for Other Cultures.The...

On Wednesday, The Debrief’s Tim McMillan gave us the most detailed look yet at the Pentagon’s ongoing research of unidentified flying objects, UFOs, or what the government refers to as “unidentified aerial phenomena.” Publicly announced earlier this year, the “Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force” is run out of the Office of Naval Intelligence. Its mission is to detect, analyze, and catalog UFOs. I can confirm the accuracy of McMillan’s story, the previously unreported Navy UFO encounter in late 2019, and his description of task force intelligence reports from 2018 and 2020. And that the government has been unable to positively...

A large group of people marched through the city streets Wednesday afternoon, most of them wearing masks. They were calling on city officials to follow the example of Pasadena, which is allowing restaurants to continue to serve outdoors, and act independently of L.A. County to keep more businesses open. Both Long Beach and Pasadena have their own health agencies, enabling them to make their own decisions regarding the county’s order. Ginger Vance, a local small-business owner, called the new rules “arbitrary and extreme.” “Target can be open, all the big businesses can be open with nothing. And we have to...

On this date in 1990, Hossein Soodmand, a Muslim who had converted to Christianity in the 1960’s, was hanged for apostasy under the sentence of a sharia court in Mashad, Iran — the last known apostasy execution in the Islamic Republic. Soodmand’s post-conversion ministry in the Assembles of God church was not the sort of thing to endanger life and limb under the westward-looking Shah. But after the 1979 Iranian Revolution, there was a new sheriff in town. Soodmand was not the last convicted or condemned for the crime — and converting to Christianity is still a crime — and...

By 2017, the old Cold War alliances had become moribund. The centerpiece North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) had seemingly lost its purpose with the collapse of the Soviet Union. Russian President Vladimir Putin’s campaign to reassert Moscow’s power in Eastern Europe and the Middle East had not reawakened many of NATO’s member states. Placing the Afghan campaign under NATO did not help. Though President Barack Obama had gotten NATO to agree to a defense sending target of 2 percent of GDP by 2024, it took pressure by President Donald Trump to get alliance members to actually start moving towards that...

President-elect Joe Biden is poised to unleash “a flurry” of executive orders in the first 100 days of his administration aimed at “undoing” the Trump administration’s efforts to reform key government agencies. CNN reports that the executive orders, as well as a major economic stimulus plan, are being prepared to be pushed through in his first 100 days in office. The network cites transition officials in describing Biden’s “most urgent priorities” which include addressing the “Covid-19 pandemic, launching an economic recovery and tackling racial inequality.” “His transition team has spent months thinking through the unilateral actions Biden could take almost...

Eric Holder was a big loser on election night. He was the guy raising tens of millions of dollars to make America safe for Democratic redistricting. A red wave turned Holder’s dreams into dust in state legislative races. State legislatures are where the redistricting action is, and the GOP flipped three chambers red, gaining 192 state house seats and 40 state senate seats nationwide.

Where do these governors get the nerve to run point on a massive election fraud scheme? Actually, we the people are giving them this power. Though our Founders created a government by the people, we are allowing others to usurp that power, to take that power from us. Enter the "pandemic," where state officials openly reject the Constitution and make government the ruling authority. We've allowed their tyranny, and now we're trapped in a sick game of "Governor May I" where we need the governor's permission for every move we make. Restaurants Governor: You may take two baby steps. Open...

Update 12/3/20: A unanimous consent (UC) agreement for S.386 was reached and the bill was passed as amended. Congress.gov has updated H.R.1044 as "Passed/agreed to in Senate" and has made the text of the Senate amendment available.Jessica Vaughan, the Center's Director of Policy Studies, stated:This would make a very significant change to the employment green card system, and moves us farther away from a merit-based process.

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump The “Republican” Governor of Georgia, @BrianKempGA , and the Secretary of State, MUST immediately allow a signature verification match on the Presidential Election. If that happens, we quickly and easily win the State and importantly, pave the way for a big David and Kelly WIN!

"This is not just about honoring the votes of 74 million Americans who voted for me, it's about ensuring that Americans can have faith in this election and in all future elections."

FIREWORKS: Liberal Representative Gets Owned After Accusing Trump Witness of Lying - Video

Failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has congratulated Juno and X-Men star formally known as Ellen Page, after the Oscar-nominated actor announced that she is transgender, has a new name, “Elliot,” and has chosen the pronouns he and they. In a statement shared on social media Tuesday, Page announced that she was becoming a man. “I want to share with you that I am trans, my pronouns are he/they and my name is Elliot,” Clinton wrote. “I feel lucky to be writing this. To be here. To have arrived at this place in my life.

Watch Georgia Oversight committee hearings. Looks like a whitewash

New York Times blowhard economist Paul Krugman continues to brazenly contradict himself with impunity. The Washington Examiner’s chief political correspondent Byron York has finally had enough. In his Dec. 1 Daily Memo, York ripped apart Krugman’s latest commentary propagandizing that former Vice President Joe Biden will be “the first modern U.S. president trying to govern in the face of an opposition that refuses to accept his legitimacy.” As York summarized: “Krugman seemed to anticipate that some would respond that some Democrats refused to accept Donald Trump's legitimacy. But that never happened, Krugman claimed. ‘And no, Democrats never said Donald Trump...

Whenever president-elect Joe Biden makes a rare public appearance and is out of the immediate control of his team it increases my suspicions that he is not physically, and above all mentally, up to the job he is about to take over. Last week, Biden fractured his foot and now must wear a walking boot for several weeks while it heals. The Biden staff claims the fracture occurred while he played with his dog, Major. They also want us to know the German Shepherd is a rescue dog, which is a joke waiting to be told, full of irony. Who...
