HBO host Bill Maher on Friday likened former President Donald Trump’s rumored new “Patriot Party” to Adolf Hitler’s Brownshirts. “First of all, that sounds like Nazis to me,” Maher said regarding Trump’s alleged future venture. “And not like the ‘killing all the Jews Nazis,’ but like fascism come to America, Patriot Party, whenever you are that blatant about ‘We’re the Patriots, we’re the good people.’”

The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) is a U.S. Government funded database [1] that tracks injuries and deaths caused by vaccines. A 2011 report by Harvard Pilgrim Health Care, Inc. for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) stated that fewer than one percent of all vaccine adverse events are reported to the government: Although 25% of ambulatory patients experience an adverse drug event, less than 0.3% of all adverse drug events and 1-13% of serious events are reported to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Likewise, fewer than 1% of vaccine adverse events are reported. Low...

“. . . Showing forbearance to one another in love” (Ephesians 4:2). In order to walk worthy, we must forgive our enemies and love them. The term forbearance is not often used today and is therefore unfamiliar to many of us. The Greek word translated “showing forbearance” means “suppressing with silence.” It carries the idea of throwing a blanket over sin. First Peter 4:8 says, “Love covers a multitude of sins,” and Proverbs 10:12 declares, “Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all transgressions.” A forbearing person doesn’t trumpet other people’s sins but rather forgives them. Forbearance has room for...

Earlier this month, a pro-Trump mob unlawfully breached the United States Capitol, hoping to “stop the steal” by interfering with the Electoral College vote count. In a positive deviation from the norm, Americans are coming together to denounce political violence, calling for the swift arrests of the perpetrators. What’s troubling, however, is law enforcement’s use of the same invasive technologies that, just a few months ago, caused a wave of backlash and prompted big tech to terminate government contracts. While Americans rally around this national manhunt, they should keep a watchful eye on their Fourth Amendment rights. Sure, the rioters...

Glenn Kessler and his Washington Post “Fact Checker” squad celebrated their end-of-term count of President Trump’s “false and misleading statements” – 30,573. Their level of aggression clearly increased as the term went on, since they announced on January 21, 2019 they had arrived at 8,158 of those – or 26.7 percent of the four-year total. Shelby Talcott of the Daily Caller put the Post on the record explaining what we all could expect: there will be no False & Misleading Claims count for President Biden: Trump’s departure also equals an end to having a false claims project for the current...

>> Let’s talk about Biden’s agenda, particularly tax policy. It’s the intention for the Biden administration to roll back 2017 tax cuts and the president was a little prophetic about that, take a listen. >> I hope they don’t raise your taxes. But if they do, I told you so. >> He would want to repeal parts of the 2017 tax cuts that benefitted the highest-income Americans and large companies. >> On tax cuts, how could that affect the markets and then everyday Americans? >> Well, Alicia, I think there’s a misnomer that is a big DNC talking point that...

Diaspora Jewry needs de-education to erase the impressions affecting mind and heart to make them feel at home. Op-ed.

Senator Mitt Romney (R-UT) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that it was constitutional to continue with the impeachment trial of President Donald Trump even after he has left the office of the presidency. Anchor Dana Bash asked, “Many of your colleagues, I’m sure you’ve heard, argue that it’s not constitutional to convict a president who is no longer in office. Do you agree with that? ” Romney said, “Well, I’ve read a number of law review articles, and I think if you put aside the partisan columns if you will written in various publications and look at...

A Tacoma police cruiser ran over a person Saturday night after responding to a reported street racing incident in the South 900 Block of Pacific Avenue. Tacoma police spokeswoman, Officer Wendy Haddow, said the agency started receiving calls at 6:19 p.m. that a car was driving erratically and there were reports of street racing in the area. The patrol car, surrounded by groups of shouting people, revs its engine and suddenly surges forward, striking the group and running over at least one individual before driving on. The police officer was responding to calls of illegal street racing with obligatory doughnut...

Former President Donald Trump’s Washington, D.C., hotel posted a video on Friday that showed the hotel serving as a rest area for local police officers. "A heart full of gratitude to all our law enforcement officers...Enjoy America’s Living Room and great having you all with us... @DCPoliceDept,” Mickael Damelincourt, the managing director for the district's Trump International Hotel, tweeted on Wednesday morning, just before President Biden was inaugurated blocks away. The video was posted the same week that National Guard troops were relegated to sleeping in a parking lot after securing the inauguration, drawing outrage from politicians on social media....

President Donald Trump has given a cryptic new interview, during which he assured his supporters that he will be taking action in the coming months. "We’ll do something, but not just yet,” Trump told the Washington Examiner on Friday. An aide to Trump then hurriedly ended the interview as he spoke from the Trump International Golf Club.

Up until the 19th century, cities often stationed watchmen on high walls or in watchtowers to keep guard. Their job was to keep an eye out for the enemy, by watching out over the horizon from their vantage point. They were the ones who warned the people of any apparent dangers. If they saw any sign of an attack, they would alert the people with a trumpet blast, or ringing a bell. However, if they failed to properly warn the people, by falling asleep or just being unaware, then the city could be attacked without the citizens being prepared to...

President Biden will sign a fresh round of executive orders during his first full week in office, including actions loosening restrictions around abortion and immigration. Biden will issue and order to rescind the Mexico City policy, which prohibits U.S. funding for foreign organizations that perform or promote abortions. The administration also dodged last week on whether Biden plans to scrap the Hyde Amendment, which bars taxpayer funding of elective abortions under Medicaid.

WASHINGTON, Wednesday, Jan 23. THE LATE COMMANDER AT PENSACOLA. Capt. ARMSTRONG, late Commandant at the Pensacola Navy-yard, had a personal interview with Secretary TOUCEY to-day, and detailed the circumstances attending his surrender. Official judgment is suspended till a written report shall be made. He says he only had twenty-three instead of sixty men, to oppose five hundred and fifty assailants; so resistance was useless. Not mere than one-twentieth of those employed in the yard remained true to the Government. The rumor that Capt. FARRAN was one of the attacking party is untrue. He was the Commander of the yard, and...

On his first day in office, Biden, the job-killing President, killed over 70,000 jobs and counting. By Day Two, he killed even more. It was the same ridiculous plan advanced by Obama – that going “green” would produce more jobs at higher pay. It didn’t. It did the opposite – several “green” energy companies went bankrupt – Solyndra is a case in point.On his first day in office, Biden, the job-killing President, killed over 70,000 jobs and counting. By Day Two, he killed even more. It was the same ridiculous plan advanced by Obama – that going “green” would produce...

And now, as the sequel to that film classic “Weekend at Bernie’s,” we present “Weekend at Biden’s,” recapping this week’s comic capers of the 46th president of the United States. All dialogue guaranteed verbatim. First, the inaugural speech. It was hailed by the Democrat operatives with press passes (think Chris Wallace, or as Biden calls him, Chuck Wallace) as the greatest oration since the Gettysburg Address, or maybe the Sermon on the Mount. Who can forget Dementia Joe’s soaring flights of rhetoric: “We must end this uncivil war that pits red against blue, rural versus urlan, er rural versus urban.”...

A recent survey has determined that over half of Americans are ready to switch to SpaceX’s Starlink satellite internet service. This was despite only 5% of internet subscribers in the United States being connected via satellite today. The study was conducted by Reviews.org, which asked respondents whether they would consider getting on board with Starlink once the satellite internet service is fully set up. As it turns out, over half of those surveyed stated that they’d be signing up for the Starlink Beta program, despite the $499 cost of the satellite dish and the service’s current $99 per month fee....

With the fraudulent election of the Chicom bought-and-paid-for criminal and Manchurian candidate Joe Biden, and his evil sidekick, Kamala Harris, as the alleged 46th president and vice president of the United States, I predicted that there would be a stepped up inquisition, if not purge, by the left of any opposition to its mission to totally enslave We the People in a socialist and increasingly communist godless state. Sure enough, following the events of two weeks ago last Wednesday at the Capitol, following a peaceful speech by then-President Donald Trump, the FBI, an integral part and weapon of the now...

We live in an unpredictable and unreliable world these days. Many factors of life are not what they used to be, and home security is a new or renewed concern for many. Part of any home security plan should include a reliable firearm, and few hold the reputation of reliability that belongs to the revolver. While lacking the magazine capacity of most full-size semi-auto pistols, the venerable wheel gun is virtually impossible to jam and often chambered in powerful cartridges like the .357 Magnum that put plenty of energy on target. There are many good revolvers out there to protect...

An El Monte church that was threatened this month with an arson attack over its extremist views and condemnation of same-sex marriage was damaged early Saturday, Jan. 23, when someone threw a bomb at the building, blowing out windows. No one was injured in the explosion, FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller said. The First Works Baptist Church at 2600 Tyler Ave. was also vandalized, the El Monte Police Department said. The FBI is investigating the attack, which it said involved “an IED,” or a homemade or “improvised” explosive device. The church, a target of recent protests, has asserted that the government...
