This pattern, wherein the West’s enemies use the environmental movement – whether NGOs like Greenpeace, foundations, or “concerned scientists,” to undermine Western interests – is now being repeated, this time in respect to China. A report by Patricia Adams for the London-based Global Warming Policy Foundation released earlier this month lays bare the role of the green movement in acting as China’s propagandists. Since Xi Jinping became general secretary of the Chinese Communist Party eight years ago, almost everyone who believed China’s communist regime would become more benign internally and less threatening externally has revised his opinion – everyone, that...

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump I simply want to get out great people $2000, rather than the measly $600 that is now in the bill. Also, stop the billions of dollars in “pork”.

Observers of human history might have to go back all the way to Galileo to find a ruling class as determined to cancel someone as much as today’s is to cancel Sidney Powell. Observers of human history might have to go back all the way to Galileo to find a ruling class as determined to cancel someone as much as today’s is to cancel Sidney Powell in response to her single-minded devotion to bringing the truth of the full scale of the 2020 election fraud to light. Galileo broke the news/discovery that the earth wasn’t the center of the universe,...

t the time of this writing, COVID-19 is the leading cause of death in the United States. There is ample reason to hope that the vaccines now beginning to arrive will soon knock the coronavirus off that morbid perch. Nothing will bring back the loved ones we’ve lost to the pandemic, but at least we’ll be worrying about our old familiar foes — heart disease, for example, and cancer. And guns. Gun violence remains one of the more potent threats to U.S. public health. Firearms play a role in most of the murders committed in the United States each year,...

Man, that’s a damn odd side effect, doc. – Watch out for that Moderna vaccine, folks. Turns out it does weird stuff to your eyes, according to Dr. Qanta Ahmed, who appeared on Fox & Friends Saturday morning: Ok, that’s a joke. Everyone get it? Don’t send me any nasty emails like some of you did in response to that bit of satire I posted about Nakatomi Plaza on Christmas eve. Thanks. I’m just waiting for the FBI to tell me what happened so I can know for certain sure what didn’t happen. – That’s honestly how I feel about...

I made up the word “sinosization,” because “sino” means “Chinese.” We are living in a “made in China” world, which means a world with rapidly decreasing prosperity and liberty. It’s a world in which our leaders, for fame and money, or in response to being blackmailed for their sins, have sold us out to a communist nation that steals our technology, takes our jobs, drugs our citizens, exports disease, and spreads oppression and despair wherever it goes. We know this – and, finally, there is a video that sums it all up. One of the problems with what freedom-loving Americans...

LONDON (Reuters) - China will overtake the United States to become the world’s biggest economy in 2028, five years earlier than previously estimated due to the contrasting recoveries of the two countries from the COVID-19 pandemic, a think tank said.

A parked recreational vehicle exploded in downtown Nashville, Tennessee, on Christmas morning, in what Nashville police believe was an "intentional act." Nashville police officers were first called to a report of shots fired, police said. There was no evidence of shots fired, but "there were announcements coming" from an RV saying a potential bomb would detonate within 15 minutes, police said. The recording only began playing a short time after police reported to the scene, a law enforcement official told ABC News.The remains have not been identified.A parked recreational vehicle exploded in downtown Nashville, Tennessee, on Christmas morning, in what...

The same media that pilloried Trump for projecting optimism about the unknown say it’s okay that Fauci took on the Jack Nicholson role from A Few Good Men. In February, President Trump projected optimism about the Wuhan virus. When he acknowledged in September that he had wanted to avert panic about the mostly unknown disease, the media accused him of trying to kill Americans – even though nothing would have changed had he panicked them. That same media now worships Fauci despite his having admitted to lying consistently to Americans about herd immunity. Why? Because he felt they couldn’t handle...

This will be a weekly post. Count is now 234 judges confirmed. 3 Trade Court judges 234 District Court judges 54 Circuit Court judges 3 Supreme Court justices There are three nominees on the Senate floor awaiting a vote. All other nominees will expire with the Congress.

It took years to plan. It didn't happen overnight. Machines had to be placed in the right spots, willing accomplices were signed up. Ruby Freeman was never the brains behind any operation but she went along with it. She was given orders. Battleground states were the objective. They were synchronized to stop counting votes so that fraudulent votes could be inserted. Who came up with the scheme? Dominion couldn't have done it all by itself but it helped. Soros doesn't make a phone call and have that much coordinated action take place. Did DNC operatives come up with the scam...

The 2020 election has brought multiple constitutional topics to the forefront of our daily discussions, many of which are rarely discussed today. The reason is because these issues are no less important than they were in 1787. The method by which the U.S. selects its president and the subsequent peaceful transfer of power to which so many have been referring define our nation. It is one of many examples of a larger theme that limits power, which is returned to the people. The presidency is an excellent place to begin examining this theme. For instance, prior to the passage of...

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham said Friday that he met with President Trump on Christmas Day and believes the commander-in-chief's proposal to increase the coronavirus relief check amount to $2,000 per American is the right decision. Graham, R-S.C., also said he supports Trump's other major demand that Congress strip Big Tech firms like Facebook and Twitter from protections enshrined in Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act of 1996.

Sen. Ron Johnson, among the best qualified and most level-headed of senators, has been labeled a conspiracy theorist by the media because he questioned the validity of the 2020 vote. We're at the point where any questioning of the liberal consensus is dismissed out of hand. It's not just that liberals think they're right — they think no other opinions should be heard. The Washington Post's depiction of dozens of GOP members as "rats" is a new journalistic low. Reminiscent of Nazi-era depictions of Jews, the cartoon attacks Trump "collaborators" for the same "crime" as Sen. Johnson — questioning the...

It’s just the flu, bro. The Coronavirus hoax goes on right through the holidays. Glad for the people who ignored Fauci’s recommendations over the holidays. And I fear for the psychological repercussions of anyone who did listen to Fauci. In fact, I believe that anybody who has followed every CDC recommendation since the start of this fauxdemic has lost their mind. The only question about people who have followed all CDC recommendations since day 1 is which has gripped them the hardest? - depression or insanity. - When will brave politicians, or even a few big celebrities, say that the...

I remember watching this movie when it was broadcast on TV during my youth. Perhaps this helped plant a seed for my later and current obsession with the Victorian Era. I re-watched on Christmas morning as the other members of the family were still asleep. In my mind, this is the best adaptation of the Dickens story. I know there are those who say the Alastair Sims version is the best. George C. Scott owns Scrooge. He plays him as not as an inherently wicked man but as someone whose life was broken as a boy and when it comes...

President-elect Joe Biden has made no secret that tackling climate change will be one of his top priorities. But to enact his platform to reduce global warming he may find an unexpected ally: Republicans. Biden campaigned on the most ambitious climate agenda in history: one that included plans for pioneering green energy and infrastructure projects and proposals to address environmental racism. Large chunks of his "Build Back Better" economic agenda are explicitly tied to climate-related policies. Biden has said he will re-enter the U.S. in the Paris climate accord on his first day in office and will prioritize undoing dozens...

A major Tennessee newspaper said Sunday it is investigating what its editor called a "horrific" full-page advertisement from a religious group that predicts a terrorist attack in Nashville next month. The paid advertisement that appeared in Sunday's editions of The Tennessean addresses the "citizens of Nashville" and warns that the attack would happen on July 18, 2020. snip....The ad from the group Future For America claims Donald Trump "is the final president of the USA" and features a photo of Trump and Pope Francis. It begins by claiming that a nuclear device would be detonated in Nashville and that the...
