VIDEOAre we reaching the point where our videos could be censored or taken down if we do not call her DOCTOR Jill Biden? We might already have reached that level of censorship so I am taking no chances. In fact, I am going to emphasize that she is DOCTOR Jill Biden whenever I refer to her and I recommend you do the same.

Biden press secretary Jen Psaki raised eyebrows when she dismissed questions about the President failing to wear a mask on federal property – a violation of an executive order he signed hours earlier. Fox News reporter Peter Doocy questioned why the President and his family were not wearing masks at the Lincoln Memorial on Wednesday, considering the mandate requires it at all times. “Why weren’t President Biden and all members of the Biden family masked at all times on federal lands last night, if he signed an executive order that mandates masks on federal lands at all times?” Doocy asked....

During the Gold Rush era it celebrates, the owners of Columbia Booksellers & Variety Store might settle their disputes with dueling pistols at dawn. But today, non-firing replicas of the very kinds of guns that would have been brandished during that time period appear to be at the center of a dispute between the small locally owned Tuolumne County shop and major San Francisco tech company Square, Inc. The store had to close both its physical location in Columbia State Historic Park and its online website sales due to the tech giant abruptly canceling its contract earlier this week. Now...

This below really struck me: A $15 federal minimum wage translates into over $36,000 per year in wages and mandated taxes and benefits paid by employers. That means that any jobs that don’t produce at least $36,000 per year in goods and services will eventually be eliminated—either because businesses close their doors, outsource their labor, or automate low-skilled jobs. That’s why even liberal economists and the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office caution that a $15 federal minimum wage would lead to a survival-of-the-fittest labor market, reduce future incomes, and disproportionately harm African Americans and women.

Joe Biden was the supposed “moderate” in the Democratic field, but 72 hours in, is there anything Pres. Biden has done so far that Bernie Sanders wouldn’t have done just as fast? Perhaps it is more than symbolic that the leading image that emerged from the inauguration is Bernie sitting alone in a folding chair with his mittens like the wizard-figure he’s become in the Democratic Party, even though he’s not a Democrat! In other words, the Biden Administration is shaping up to be “Weekend at Bernie’s [Commune].” At least Lady Gaga didn’t wear her famous meat dress from the...

THE SOUTH CAROLINA COMMISSIONER. Col. HAYNE is still on his oars. He dines to-day with Mr. SLIDELL, who gives a large dinner party to seceding and other Senators. He received a telegram from Gov. PICKENS, to day, saying that the most amicable relations were existing with Major ANDERSON, who obtains fresh supplies daily from Charleston market. WASHINGTON, Tuesday, Jan. 22. AFFAIRS AT PENSACOLA. The President dispatched a special messenger to Pensacola, last evening, with instructions to Federal offices to follow a collision under no possible circumstances, unless actually attacked. A telegram was also sent to the same effect. Secretary HOLT...

The website of Iran’s Supreme Leader on Friday carried the image of a golfer resembling former President Donald Trump apparently being targeted by a drone alongside a threat of revenge over last year’s killing of a top Iranian general in a U.S. drone attack. The image first appeared on a Persian-language Twitter feed that carried a link to Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s website. Twitter took down that feed on Friday, saying it was fake. Underneath the website picture were remarks by Khamenei in December ahead of the first anniversary this month of the killing of military commander General Qassem Soleimani in...

Editor's Note: This column was authored by Nick Lindquist.What if I told you there was a way to transport oil and gas in a way that minimizes environmental risk, reduces carbon emissions, and generates more economic activity? Well, there is—it’s called the Keystone XL pipeline and Joe Biden canceled it on his first day in office. The Keystone XL is a 2,000-mile pipeline project that would transport oil from Alberta, Canada all the way to Texas for refining. The project has faced pushback through the whole process. From President Barack Obama rejecting the permit requests to contentious court battles, the...

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said that private gatherings account for the vast majority of new statewide cases, while less than 2 percent are coming from bars and restaurants. Cuomo referenced a statewide contact-tracing data set, which collected information on how new cases have spread from September to November. According to the data, 74 percent of new cases have come from private social gatherings. The troubling information in this is that 74 percent of new cases are coming from household gatherings and living room spread," Cuomo said. "In many ways, you can understand what happened. You close bars, you close...

This week, we witnessed one of the biggest farces in this history of our nation: the inauguration of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. This duo is so popular that they had – maybe – a crowd of 2,000 people attending the ceremony, guarded over by 25,000 military troops (some estimated as many as 65,000 troops) as well as heavy artillery in the form of "crew-served machine guns." As one D.C. worker put it: "If you need all this to protect your inauguration from the people, maybe the f-ing people didn't f-ing elect you." Others are suggesting we refer to this...

A St. Paul, Minnesota, man pleaded guilty Friday in a fire set inside a Minneapolis police precinct during protests and violent unrest following the death of George Floyd last year, prosecutors said. Davon De-Andre Turner, 25, pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit arson. He is the last of four people whose indictments were announced in August to plead guilty in the fires set in Third Precinct headquarters on May 28. The fires were set as protesters shouted “burn it down, burn it down," and after a fence outside the building was torn down, according to court documents....

The 20th century saw the development of many weapons that could have ended civilization as we know it, but nothing compares to the potentially devastating power of the Soviet Union‘s epic “Tsar Bomba.” It will be remembered as the most powerful nuclear bomb ever built, and it had a blast that was more powerful than 50 million tons of TNT.

President Trump's fulfillment of campaign promises resulted in increased support among minorities, including from Hispanics in Florida, Arizona, California, Nevada, Colorado, North Carolina, Wisconsin and Texas. In Starr County, Texas, which is 96% Hispanic, for example, Joe Biden won by only 5 points, a swing of more than 25 points from the 2016 election, noted Republican activist Rachel Campos-Duffy in an article for The Federalist. Nearby Zapata County, Texas, which is 85% Hispanic and historically Democrat, has turned Republican, increasing its support for Trump by 15% since 2016. So how can legacy media continue to insist that Trump is racist?

A prayer during the swearing-in of the 117th Congress on Sunday, January 3, by Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-MO), ended weirdly. In the ludicrous attempt to be inclusive, Cleaver concluded his prayer with the words “Amen and Awomen.” As we’ve witnessed, the Left has wrestled control of public discourse and is enforcing a new, stricter political correctness edict. Congress, under the demented "leadership" of Nancy Pelosi, is absurdly banning words such as father and mother. It didn't take long for the ultra-flaky Ms. Pelosi to break her own rules. If only the lunacy was confined to Congress… This just in! In...

Trump was the monkey wrench in the Intelligence-Military-Industrial Complex's perpetual warfare motion machine. Real soldiers, ruled by honor, the ones who have to pay the price, don't prefer war first. To the extent Public Enemy No. 1, 1984's Goldberg Great State Villain incarnate, whom the deep state dreaded holding the donut, actually freed the military from the war manufacturers and lie spinners, there should be sufficient delay in their planning for you to accurately gauge where they will be wagging the next dog.

The Human Rights Campaign (HRC), America's largest and most powerful LGBT lobby organizations, is pushing Joe Biden and Kamala Harris to target Christian educational institutions, demanding that the Biden Administration strip colleges that adhere to rules and positions opposing homosexuality of their accreditation. The HRC's "Blueprint for Positive Change," which offers 85 recommendations, proposes eliminating non-discrimination exemptions for religious colleges if they refuse to abandon the biblical position on marriage. Al Mohler, a theologian and president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, sounded the alarm on the HRC's push in an essay titled "A Direct Threat to Christian Education." The...

Microsoft has been granted a patent that would allow the company to make a chatbot using the personal information of deceased people. The patent describes creating a bot based on the “images, voice data, social media posts, electronic messages”, and more personal information. “The specific person [who the chat bot represents] may correspond to a past or present entity (or a version thereof), such as a friend, a relative, an acquaintance, a celebrity, a fictional character, a historical figure, a random entity etc”, it goes on to say. “The specific person may also correspond to oneself (e.g., the user creating/training...

The presidency of Joseph R. Biden Jr., a thoroughly mediocre and gaffe-prone career politician in the throes of debilitating senescence, has commenced. It has done so with disingenuous paeans to unity, thinly veiled swipes at his "deplorable" political foes and an immediate executive action-driven assault on his predecessor's legacy -- from the environment to immigration to religious liberty -- that is simply breathtaking in its scope. Worse, the Biden-Harris regime has taken power as America's myriad corporate bastions, led by Big Tech, dutifully promise to punish dissenters to the regime's enforced monolithic orthodoxy. For conservatives, it could get ugly out...
