Black Lives Matter is putting the forthcoming Biden-Harris administration on notice for failing to respond to a meeting request from the group. The activists say they were also excluded from a Tuesday meeting between the president- and vice president-elect, Louisiana Rep. Cedric Richmond and several civil rights groups. “On the night of the Biden Harris victory, BLM sent a letter requesting a meeting,” the movement wrote Wednesday on its Instagram. The post includes a graphic stating “It has been … 32 days since we’ve requested a meeting with Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. We’ve heard no response.” Black life cannot...

Though the 1983 movie “A Christmas Story” did not make much of an impression when it was initially released, it has since become a perennial holiday favorite with families across the country. We are not only treated to Ralphie’s hilarious quest to obtain a Red Ryder BB gun, but the film also reminds us at least a little, of our own childhood Christmases past. While most of us are familiar with the cult classic, many may not know the tragic way in which the director of “A Christmas Story,” Bob Clark, died…He was killed by a drunk-driving illegal alien. On...

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — A man was arrested Friday morning in the murder of a nurse originally from Butler County who was shot on a Nashville, Tennessee, highway while on her way to work, police said. Devaunte Hill, 21, is charged with criminal homicide in the death of Caitlyn Kaufman. Hill was arrested about 6:15 a.m. at his East Nashville apartment by a SWAT team. Police in Nashville said he gave a statement after his arrest that implicated him. Earlier in the week, a group of anonymous business owners and entrepreneurs in Nashville contributed to a large monetary reward in the...

Today’s Scripture: Romans 6:11 “Consider yourselves dead to sin.” The guilt of our sin in Adam resulted in our being given over to sin’s dominion as a penal consequence. When a judge sentences a convicted criminal to five years in prison, that sentence is the penal consequence of his crime—analogous to what God did to Adam and all his posterity. Part of the penal consequence of Adam’s sin was being delivered into sin’s bondage. When the prisoner has served his five years, his penal consequences are over. The broken law no longer has a claim against him. In that sense...

Fox News anchor Chris Wallace said Friday on “America’s Newsroom” that Attorney General William Barr was ” playing it by the book” by not making the investigation into Hunter Biden public. Wallace said, “I will say that Justice Department guidelines are that the Justice Department does not take any action in the weeks or even months leading up to an investigation — or to an election that would sway that election. So it would seem that Barr was playing it by the book in not doing this. And remember the firestorm when James Comey, the FBI Director, came out first...

On election day, Fox News betrayed President Trump, and this has puzzled many patriots. The confusion vanishes if one assumes that this episode could be just a small part of the process of China's colonization of America. China has already colonized some countries in the Pacific region, South America, and Africa for all practical purposes. Add to this list the de facto colonization of northern Italy and a large part of Russia in Eastern Siberia. Also, communist China greedily devours real estate and businesses in the United States. Therefore, the 2020 presidential election should be seen as an integral part...

The robot slaps the son. Okay, I was at a friend’s house. Doing what? asks the father. Watching ‘Toy Story’. The robot slaps the son. Okay, it was porn! cries the son. The father yells, What?

The Democrat-run Minneapolis City Council has slashed a staggering $8 million from its police department's funding, despite a major violent crime surge in the Minnesota city. Leftist council members have been pushing to defund the police in Minneapolis since the death of George Floyd earlier this year, who died while in the custody of the MPD.

Friends, in today’s Gospel Jesus says, "The Son of Man came eating and drinking and they said, ‘Look, he is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.’" The Passover meal was decisively important in salvation history. God commands that his people share a meal to remember their liberation from slavery. This supper provides the context for the deepest theologizing of the Israelite community. Both the bitterness of their slavery and the sweetest of their liberation are acted out in this sacred meal. Jesus’ life and ministry can be interpreted in light of this symbol. From...

Newly pardoned, former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn says his four-year legal odyssey in the Russia case exposed the widespread corruption of intelligence, law enforcement and judicial institutions where politics was allowed to overrule the law. “I've seen corruption up close and personal,” the retired three-star general told Just the News in a wide-ranging interview Thursday with the John Solomon Reports podcast. “And I see it as it's playing out in our current election. I mean, real corruption is really now publicly known. And we should still find it unacceptable.

“The Biden transition team has grown concerned about a surge of asylum seekers at the border,” the Journal reported December 9. Deputies are “trying to decide which policies to change and when, in order to fulfill Mr. Biden’s campaign promises without creating the appearance of leniency, according to people familiar with the matter.” More migrants are now heading towards the U.S. border, and progressive judges are cutting more loopholes on the border. Reuters reported that a small caravan of a few hundred migrants has begun in Honduras: Mostly younger migrants with backpacks and some women carrying children left the northern...

On Thursday, Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) called for Attorney General William Barr to appoint a special counsel to investigate corruption involving Hunter Biden, the son of (likely) incoming President Joe Biden. Hunter Biden notoriously cashed in on lucrative deals in China and Ukraine while his father served as President Barack Obama’s point person on those countries. In the lead-up to Election Day, a former Hunter Biden associate testified that Joe Biden was involved in the deals. The legacy media, which dutifully suppressed the Hunter Biden scandal ahead of the election, finally deigned to report on the vice president’s son this...

We’re hearing Gestapo thrown around a lot lately. It’s almost as though the legions of easily-propagandized ignorants wore out the constant mis-use of Nazi, Fascist and Hitler. Most of the Gestapo iterations of this are complete nonsense. Most. Not all. The Chinese Communist government’s police state apparatus is the modern day equivalent of the Gestapo. A report leaked to the Washington Post shows that the Chinese Communist government has tested, and is presumably using, AI facial recognition software developed by Huawei to identify the Muslim ethnic minority of Uighurs and alert police — read, Gestapo. The Post story reports: “The...

The 12th edition of Rich States, Poor States, written by White House Advisors Arthur Laffer, Ph.D., Stephen Moore, and Jonathan Williams, chief economist for the American Legislative Exchange Council, pinpoints why some states in the union grow and prosper while others shrink and fail. Based on the authors’ collective research, appropriate regulations, competitive tax rates, and wise government spending yields greater opportunities for all Americans. In particular, citizens in states where lawmakers are focused on establishing long-term prosperity benefit the most. This is especially true when those citizens trust the judgment of their political leaders and have witnessed the wisdom...
