Roald Dahl's family has apologised for anti-Semitic comments made by the best-selling author, who died in 1990. A statement condemning Dahl's controversial comments, made in two interviews in 1983 and 1990, was published on his official website. SNIP "It is a shame that the estate has seen fit merely to apologise for Dahl's anti-Semitism rather than to use its substantial means to do anything about it," the spokesperson said.

Not reporting one major stock record is bad enough. And yet, the ABC, CBS and NBC evening news shows decided it was fine to black out news on three major stock indexes that hit new records. The censorship of positive news in the stock market under President Donald Trump has continued with absolute impunity. The Dow Jones closed Friday up 248 points to finish at 30,218. The S&P 500 increased to 3,699, and the Big Tech-heavy NASDAQ finished at 12,464, according to TheStreet. Fox Business referred to this major event as a “trifecta” of record closes in the stock market....

The Democrat candidate for Senate in Georgia, during a debate Sunday night, sidestepped questions about his comments on Marxism and his willingness to pursue “court packing.” Republican incumbent Kelly Loeffler asked her challenger, the Rev. Raphael Warnock, about his past writings about Marxism and the redistribution of income and called on him to “renounce socialism and Marxism.” ... Warnock also dodged a question from one of the moderators about whether he would support expanding the number of justices on the Supreme Court. ... Loeffler said her opponent was trying to distract from the matter that he would pack the high...

The legal team led by former federal prosecutor Sidney Powell will appeal the dismissal of the election lawsuit tossed by a federal judge on Monday. Powell told The Epoch Times in an email that they “will proceed as fast as possible to the Supreme Court.” U.S. District Court Judge Timothy Batten dismissed Powell’s lawsuit on Dec. 7, opining that the plaintiffs have no standing to sue, should have brought the lawsuit to a state court, and had filed the case too late. “There’s no question that Georgia has a statute that explicitly directs that elections contests be filed in Georgia...

Is Obama the first president to set up opposition in Washington DC to directly interfere with the next president? What was his involvement in the "Resist" campaign?

Sen. Josh Hawley is not happy that the leading coronavirus proposals lack another round of direct payments to Americans — and he’s taking his case straight to President Donald Trump. The Missouri Republican lobbied Trump to veto any coronavirus aid bill that does not contain a second tranche of checks to Americans in a phone call on Saturday. And Hawley said the president listened intently as he flew home on Air Force One from a rally in Georgia. “I said, ‘I think it's vital that any relief include direct payments, and I'm not gonna vote for it if it doesn't.’...

Our hearts are touched! In a nice gesture, Kamala Harris sent Joe Biden 17 get-well-soon puppies! Awww! So cute! Biden injured himself while playing with his dog, and this is sure to cheer him up! After receiving the puppies, Joe is rumored to have exclaimed, "Help! She's after me again!" Haha! Such a great jokester. It's awesome to see these two buddies playing around already. What a great four years this is going to be!

Seems every year democrats find another way to compromise elections in the US. In 2016 "Russian interference" was all the rage. There was no end to Adam Schiff's bullsh*t about there being evidence for collusion "in plain sight" although no one else could ever see it. Trump only won because of Russian collusion. But there's a problem with that. James Clapper had to admit that there was no evidence of Russian collusion. democrats vehemently oppose anything that strengthens the integrity of the vote. They are constantly battering down the walls that protect it. They would see foreign nationals vote, they...

Less than five hours after Rudy Giuliani appeared with Maria Bartiromo on Sunday Morning Futures, President Trump announced via tweet that Rudy had tested positive for COVID-19. Fox News reported it Sunday afternoon .Later that day, it was reported that he’d been admitted to Georgetown University Hospital for treatment.Rudy has been doing a heroic job managing the legal strategy for Trump in states where election tactics and results have been highly suspect. Like all who test positive, he’ll be under quarantine for 14 days after being symptom-free, so must continue his role either from the hospital or his home, as...

There's no clear pattern to several shootings in St. Petersburg in the last month, including Wednesday night's killing by police of a man wanted in connection to a murder. But one thing is clear: the economic downturn caused by the pandemic is hitting minorities hard. The Rev. Kenny Irby is pastor of the Historic Bethel AME Church and is St. Petersburg's Community Intervention Director, focusing on the city's young African American residents. The violence, he says, may be provoked by systemic racism experienced by the Black community.

The majority of those who will refuse the vaccine are conservative Christians. I among them. By refusing to take it I will no longer be able to fly, attend concerts, buy groceries, enter restaurants, receive medical care, and ultimately work in my current job which I love. It is almost a certainty that companies will begin requiring your COVID vaccine certificate for employment, which will have a number on it. Go ahead and print your own, that won't save you. It will be verifiable via an online service. They will have effectively cut off their enemies from the modern world,...

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — More than 300 people were detained in the Belarusian capital on Sunday, where crowds of people took to the streets for the 18th consecutive weekend, demanding the ouster of the country’s authoritarian leader who won a sixth term in office in an election widely seen as rigged.Thousands of people Sunday took part in dozens of small rallies scattered all over Minsk, the Belarusian capital — a new tactic the opposition employed instead of one large gathering to make it harder for the security forces to target the protesters.“We believe! We can! We will win!” the demonstrators...

Arguing that “a license to practice law is not a license to lie,” nearly 1,500 lawyers issued a letter on Monday calling on bar associations across the country to investigate and, if needed, penalize the members of President Trump’s legal team, including the architect of his post-election strategy, Rudolph W. Giuliani.“It is indefensible for lawyers to falsely proclaim widespread voting fraud, submit a pattern of frivolous court claims and actively seek to undermine citizens’ faith in our election’s integrity,” said the letter, which was signed by several former judges, former federal prosecutors and law professors. “We condemn this conduct without...

Readers of this blog will recall that I have written frequently on the eventful life of Saint Ambrose, bishop of Milan and Doctor of the Church, including his acclamation as bishop even before he was baptized, his discovery of the remains of Saints Protase and Gervase, his conflicts with the Empress Justina, and his confrontation with Theodosius the Great. On this feast day of Ambrose, let us examine some of the strange and portentous events which attended his death in AD 397, as attested by his secretary, Paulinus, who was witness to these things and wrote at the behest of...
