Joe Biden plans to create a “position that reaches out to conservatives,” according to Cedric Richmond, whom the former Vice President has tapped to lead the White House Office of Public Engagement.

There is no “happy ending” to this story for the Biden family. Joe Biden has wanted to be President for 45 years — maybe more — and if he makes it to January 21, 2021, he may actually realize that dream. The revelation today by Hunter Biden that his attorney has been advised by the US Attorney’s Office in Delaware that he is under investigation offers little in the way of specifics, but an informed view of this acknowledgment reveals some practical issues that are of profound significance — in ways that are not good for Joe Biden. Such notification...

Another Portland protest movement has taken over a portion of the city — this time demonstrating against gentrification by barricading several streets and setting booby traps for the police. The demonstrators, dressed in black and wearing ski masks, erected the street blockades with metal, wood, and wire fencing, and stood guard Wednesday behind their perimeter. Inside their zone, the protesters laid out homemade spike strips and stretched thick bands of plastic wrap across the street to deter police. The show of force was triggered by the arrest of a dozen protesters outside the former home of the Kinneys, a black...

From hilarious viral moments to career-killing incidents to grim moments that dramatized the alienation of the coronavirus pandemic, Zoom has captured some amazing and shocking moments over the last year.

Dr. Anthony Fauci has revealed that the brother of his youngest daughter Alison’s boyfriend died of complications from the coronavirus, according to a report. The nation’s top infectious diseases expert was asked during a livestreamed interview hosted by the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health whether he knew anyone in his personal life affected by the illness.

The album will have 15 songs and cost $9.99 for a digital copy of the record.

There may be a shortage of cookies on the shelves this holiday season, one of the biggest commercial producers of confections is warning. Campbell’s Soup Company, which makes cookies under the Pepperidge Farms brand, warned that it is facing a shortage ahead of its busiest season - including of popular varieties like Milano and Chessman. In an earnings call with investors, Campbell’s CEO Mark Clouse blamed the shortage on an increase in demand and a labor shortage, both of which are results of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. According to a report compiled by Top Data, American cookie consumption has increased...

If you want to see how a U.S. Supreme Court, packed to 13 or 15 with Joe Biden appointees, would act, then look at the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, which is dominated by five elected Democrats.In February 2018, the PA Court threw out the existing congressional district map and re-drew it according to its notion of "fairness."In July 2020, the PA Supreme Court ruled in favor of Democrat Governor Wolf to continue his China virus emergency declaration.In September 2020, the Court rewrote Pennsylvania election law to allow ballots received three days after Election Day, even without a postmark, to be counted....

Investigations begin with questions, not answers. It’s time we start asking the questions that will lead us to the truth about the 2020 presidential election. There’s plenty of metaphorical “blood in the street” to indicate that something was amiss — rampant lawlessness, procedural improprieties, and generally sketchy behavior by government officials that collectively suggests fraud on a staggering scale. We know that the integrity of our election was compromised; now we just need to figure out who perpetrated this assault on our democracy and how. Secretaries of state and election administrators in key swing states such as Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Georgia,...

25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. 26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: 27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it. MAT 7.25

Take the high road, take the low Take any one you're on I poured the cup, I passed it along And I crossed the RubiconIt’s probably nothing really, just a roar from the belly of the beast.Or, alternatively, it may be the metaphorical crossing of the Rubicon - a move you may recall that started a 5 year civil war and effectively marked the end of the Roman Republic and the beginning of the Roman Empire. I wouldn’t read too much into it though as it is but a metaphor. And a republic that permits electoral fraud and cheating in...

Last week, the New York Post published a dubious story about Hunter Biden, the son of Democratic presidential nominee and former Vice President Joe Biden. The Post story claims Hunter Biden helped arrange a meeting between Joe Biden and an executive at a Ukrainian energy company Burisma in April 2015. The series of stories contained hacked materials and personal email addresses, so Twitter initially prevented people from posting links to the article, sending it via direct message and retweeting it. As CNN's Chief Media Correspondent Brian Stelter noted on "Reliable Sources" Sunday, "We are not talking about fully reliable sources...

If Texas has its way, the 2020 presidential election won’t be over soon. The state of Texas has filed an unprecedented motion with the U.S. Supreme Court, asking for leave to file a complaint with the court against the states of Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, and Wisconsin over the 2020 presidential election. The motion alleges that changes made in election rules governing absentee ballots in those states by “non-legislative actors” violated the Constitution and “cumulatively preclude knowing who legitimately won the 2020 election and threaten to cloud all future elections.” In a nutshell, Texas is saying these four states’ elections were...

The world’s largest hornet, the Asian giant hornet (Vespa mandarinia), has been popularly dubbed the “murder hornet.” Credit: Washington State Department of Agriculture ==================================================================== Honeybees spread animal dung on the entrance of their hives to effectively ward off giant hornets. What’s the best way to ward off giant hornets if you’re a honeybee? Animal dung, according to a first-ever University of Guelph study. U of G researchers have discovered honeybees in Vietnam collect and apply spots of animal dung around hive entrances to deter deadly nest raids by an Asian hornet (Vespa soror) whose North American cousins have been dubbed...

Today’s Scripture: 1 Corinthians 16:13 “Be watchful.” With all the enemies from the world and from Satan arrayed against us, and a guerrilla army of flesh within our own hearts, how can we effectively watch against the temptations that constantly beset us? The old adage "The best defense is a good offense" is good advice for watching against temptation. The best offense is meditation on the Word of God and prayer. It’s surely no coincidence that they’re the only two spiritual exercises that we are encouraged to do continually. We’re to meditate on God’s Word "day and night" (Psalm 1:2),...

I know the government would never release truthful info about this but here is my question... If you or someone you know has gotten covid, were you or them previously taking prophylactics like zinc, vitamin d, vitamin c quercetin, n-acetylcysteine, and/or of course Hydroxychloroquine or Ivermectin? In other words is there anyone who was diligent to take these prophylactics but STILL got covid?

Source: Screenshot/Facebook via Hammond Institute for Free EnterpriseI met economist and professor Walter Williams when I interviewed him while hosting a local TV show in Cleveland. We discussed a number of topics but focused on race-based preferences, aka affirmative action. Williams adamantly opposed it, still an unpopular position to take, but especially back then and especially for a Black person. He calmly explained how affirmative action causes a mismatch between a student and his or her ability to succeed on a campus more competitive than would have been the case but for the race-based preferential admission. Without racial preferences, I...

It’s been just over two months since Ellen DeGeneres returned to her daytime talk show following several accusations of workplace misconduct — including sexual harassment. According to a new report, it appears the Emmy-winning series still hasn’t recovered from the scandal. Staffers and sources “with knowledge of the situation” recently dished to BuzzFeed News about the true state of the midday staple, claiming that the show has lost advertisers, is now struggling to book A-list guests and has seen a significant dip in ratings. Two employees claim that the production of digital content has taken a nosedive due to a...

The sight of hurried business types carrying boxed salad was typical of San Francisco’s downtown lunch rush before March. But as the business crowd remains at home, that once familiar scene has since been replaced with emptied streets and dimmed storefronts. Ever since the pandemic wrought havoc on restaurants and bars around the Financial District and South of Market, Adam Mesnick says his sandwich shop, Deli Board, has become something of a destination for customers who happen to be in the neighborhood for coffee or walking to an appointment. “It's decimated down here. I mean, the whole time, you're sort...
