It's been over a month since the election, and all is not well in Mudville. The home team fights round the clock to prove that the challenger cheated, and the challenger makes no effort to calm fears or address concerns — just continues naming cronies and planning not just to take over the ballpark, but to change the rules for the entire sport. For those who care, the internet still exists, and there are more sites than Twitter, Facebook and news services out there where the truth actually matters. So why does anyone have to search for the truth? Investigations...

Or maybe it’s because he was sleeping with a Chinese spy. Maybe that’s the reason behind the story. – You have to love – or like me, hate – the fake journalist hacks at Politico. Yesterday we found out that California Democrat Eric Swalwell had been sleeping with a ChiCom spy and paid here to help him with, um…’strategic planning’ for several years, prompting a full-blown FBI investigation during the Obama Administration in 2015. Ever eager to provide cover for its Democrat Party benefactors, here is the take that the Politico hacks decided to run with on the story: Why...

A former Israeli space security chief has sent eyebrows shooting heavenward by saying that earthlings have been in contact with extraterrestrials from a "galactic federation." "The Unidentified Flying Objects have asked not to publish that they are here, humanity is not ready yet," Haim Eshed, former head of Israel's Defense Ministry's space directorate, told Israel's Yediot Aharonot newspaper. The interview in Hebrew ran on Friday, and gained traction after parts were published in English by the Jerusalem Post on Tuesday. A respected professor and retired general, Eshed said the aliens were equally curious about humanity and were seeking to understand...

"These are just anomalies. They happen in every election." Well folks, anomalies cease to be anomalies when they all go in one direction. When every outlier favors Biden, we enter the realm of prima facie fraud. Fraud. It's an ugly word. It does not have a pretty synonym. Too bad. Election fraud at the industrial scale perpetrated in the 2020 election is a crime most Americans will remember all their lives. Books and movies will come out. Retired math PhDs exiled to the basement by their spouses will continue to find statistical patterns that simply do not happen in straight...

A Cuban-born man accused of supporting a foreign terrorist group by distributing propaganda videos on social media is being held in a Miami federal lockup, according to court records. Jonathan Guerra Blanco, 23, who lives near Fort Myers, was denied bail and charged this past week in Miami with providing material support to ISIS, a spin-off of al-Qaida that has gained notoriety through its Middle East conflicts and decapitations of Western hostages. He was arrested in Miami in September while visiting an undercover FBI operative. Guerra, a naturalized U.S. citizen who faces up to 20 years in prison on the...

This week, as Los Angeles County announced it would lock down all outdoor dining, a video went viral. That video featured restaurant owner Angela Marsden, proprietor of the Pineapple Hill Saloon and Grill, decrying the lockdown policy while pointing to the erection of production catering set up for a Hollywood shoot just a few feet away. "Everything I own is being taken away from me, and they set up a movie company right next to my outdoor patio," Marsden said, adding that she has spent approximately $80,000 complying with the requirements of LA County, only to see it shut down...

Thieves have targeted a Russian “doomsday” plane, the military aircraft that would be used by top officials, including Vladimir Putin, in case of a nuclear war. The robbery of the Ilyushin-80, a mobile command post specially designed to keep officials alive and in command of the military during a nuclear conflict, took place at an airfield in southern Russia, state media reported. The thieves managed to open the highly classified aircraft’s cargo hatch and make off with 39 pieces of radio equipment. They have not been caught. Interior ministry officials in the city of Taganrog confirmed that a plane at...

“Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars” (Proverbs 9:1 KJV).

At least 40 “terrorists” have been killed in an exchange of fire with the army men in Egypt’s North Sinai province, the armed forces said in a statement on Tuesday. “Seven army men including four soldiers and two officers have been killed and wounded in the clashes with the terrorists,” said the statement. The air forces have destroyed 437 of the terrorist hideouts in the strategic direction of the northeast part of the country, leaving 25 “highly dangerous terrorists” killed, it added. Another 15 militants have been killed in another operation, according to the statement. The military raids have destroyed...

A key architect of the spectacular Toronto 18 terrorism plot to detonate huge truck bombs in Toronto in 2006 was granted day parole, Tuesday. “I’m just so thankful,” Shareef Abdelhaleem said when told the decision by the Parole Board of Canada, “You will not be sorry. “I know that you’re taking a risk and this is going to be highly mediatized, but in front of all these people and in front of God — I know I said I was not a religious man, but I do believe in God — I will not disappoint you. “You will never hear...

Want to make money and help the world, too? Wall Street says you can! If you invest in "socially responsible" funds, say big investment funds like BlackRock, Parnassus, TIAA-CREF, etc., then they'll do good things for the world, and your retirement funds will grow. These funds obsess about what they call Environmental, Social and Governance factors. For example, Parnassus says it picks investments based on "their environmental impact, how they treat their employees, the quality of their relationships with local communities." People believe. More than $100 billion poured in just in the first half of this year. But I won't...

Editor's Note: Walter Williams passed away last Wednesday. You can read our tribute to him here.One of the first lessons in an economics class is every action has a cost. That is in stark contrast to lessons in the political arena where politicians virtually ignore cost and talk about benefits and free stuff. If we look only at the benefits of an action, policy, or program, then we will do anything because there is a benefit to any action, policy, or program. Think about one simple example. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates that 36,096 Americans lost their lives...

Pray For the Peace of JerusalemLambs, Sheep, and Shepherds.Psalm 75For the director of music. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A psalm of Asaph. A song. 1 We praise you, God, we praise you, for your Name is near; people tell of your wonderful deeds. 2 You say, “I choose the appointed time; it is I who judge with equity. 3 When the earth and all its people quake, it is I who hold its pillars firm.[b] 4 To the arrogant I say, ‘Boast no more,’ and to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up your horns.[c] 5 Do not...

Michigan Rep Cynthia A. Johnson is making terroristic threats against Trump supporters. She appears to be calling on her “soldiers” to make you pay. “Soldiers, you know what to do, make them pay.” Report her to the FBI and DOJ. Demand that she is removed from office! (Video)

One of the more appalling moments in the recent history of the House of Representatives occurred recently in the Capitol Visitor Center. Speaker Nancy Pelosi gave her weekly news conference and said that she had changed her position on the issue of passing a coronavirus relief bill. For months, as millions suffered the economic devastation associated with the pandemic, Pelosi stonewalled the Trump administration's efforts to pass targeted, short-term relief for those in need. Now, as if by magic, she's all for it. What happened? A new president has been elected, Pelosi explained, and coronavirus vaccines are nearing public distribution....

This is not about how much to tithe but about our view of tithing.God has multiple purposes for instituting the tithe; including His Glory and His love for us. Deut 14 22:"You shall surely tithe ..." 23: "you shall eat in the presence of the Lord your God... in order that you may learn to fear the LORD your God always..." First notice that they ate their sacrifice; it was not a total give away. What does it mean to "fear the Lord"? It includes appreciate, revere, love. The following verses point this out. 24-25:"if the distance is so great...you...

There is as yet no known, easily accessible cure for COVID-19. Over the past year, lots of old and new drugs and supplements -- Ivermectin, azithromycin, Remdesivir, hydroxychloroquine, vitamin D, vitamin C, zinc, aspirin, Pepcid and others -- have shown at least some anecdotal value in ameliorating the effects of early-stage COVID-19. Clinical physicians treating patients in hospitals often disagree with the research scientists conducting trials on the efficacy of all these treatments. Yet only hydroxychloroquine has prompted furious partisan debate over its possible usefulness. Why? Probably because Donald Trump endorsed its usage months ago. Almost immediately, the media, the...
