Dismounting the COVID Tiger The oligarchy’s chosen method of “reopening” after the pandemic shows that it intends to attempt to validate the harm it did over the previous year. Will it work?Riding fear of COVID-19, our oligarchs persuaded millions of Americans to join in masked pantomime, to deliver themselves to something like house arrest, and to blame Donald Trump for their troubles. But as much as the oligarchs enjoyed COVID powers and dreamt of segueing them into a “new normal,” they knew that America could not be locked down forever.They especially knew, were they to unseat Trump and become responsible...

Trump created a new conservatism. Now its our job to nurture it.Back in the early days of the Donald Trump phenomenon, whenever he supposedly got out of line a recurring joke about him was, “But he fights.” The pundits laughed. The poor rubes suckered by Trump were supposedly taken in by some canard that he was a fighter. But the fact is he was, he won a lot of those fights, and his voters are better off for those wins. When the spurious allegations of long past sexual misconduct from now Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh emerged, conventional wisdom said...

Some of these countries come in with numbers that, while lower than ours, are not much lower — for example, Brazil at 1,021. Many numbers are spectacularly lower: Poland, 943; Chile, 938; Romania, 936. Or lower yet: Germany, 642; Latvia, 601; Ireland, 591. And there are about 75 nations that have fewer than 100 deaths per million, among them Iceland, Bangladesh, and Japan. What are these countries doing that the United States should be and considering? Granted, there are a multitude of reasons why any nation may have lower rates than another — for example, remoteness, climate, wealth, even religion....

Cancel culture is going after our Founding Fathers and other American leaders. Just this week, the San Francisco Board of Education voted to rename 44 public schools in a vote of 6 to 1. The names on the chopping block are familiar and belong to important American leaders. Lincoln, Washington, and Roosevelt will no longer have their names attached to schools in the Golden Gate City. Dianne Feinstein’s name will also be removed.

Dear friends, If this present world, Biden and the American Left; along with America's fifth column constitutional apostates absolutely despise President Trump because he stood in the way of the Great "demonic" Reset, global socialistic fascism via "climate change", globalism; etc; Oh my beloved, what then will they do after the Rapture of the body of Christ when the Two Witnesses of Revelation arrive (Rev. 11:1-7)?! Just look at what Joe Biden has done in just his first 7 days! With the signing of his pen he is seeking and accomplishing; to change the times and the seasons; and in...

As violence continues to surge in Philadelphia, a new University of Pennsylvania study shows that Philadelphia police transport two of every three penetrating trauma victims to the hospital, helping ensure exceptional survival rates. The study found that scoop and run hospital transports had survival rates comparable to those transported by EMS professionals highlighting how crucial police have become to patient care.

<p>It’s a painful lesson we learned with the truth about what caused of deaths of Ambassador Chris Stevens, Sean Smith, Glen Doherty, and Tyrone Woods. Rice knowingly lied to cover up the mistakes made by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, then Vice President Biden and President Barack Obama, who failed to fulfil their duty and protect the lives of Americans overseas. Ambassador Rice made the rounds on five Sunday morning talk shows spreading lies of how the coordinated attack on a U.S. compound was sparked by a video no one ever saw nor heard.</p>

We do not sound the “everyone panic” alarm lightly, but this product release from Kraft might require it: Candy Kraft Mac & Cheese. It’s almost Valentine’s Day, and this product is, whether we like it or not, headed our way. From the official press release: Candy Kraft Mac & Cheese is made with the same cheesy Kraft Mac & Cheese Americans know and love, but includes a candy flavor packet to turn the mac & cheese pink and add hints of sweet candy flavor. No more noodling on what gift to buy. There is no better way to show your...

In a sensational disclosure, a government source has reported that many Indian and Chinese soldiers were injured following a clash at Naku La in North Sikkim three days ago. However, the situation is said to be under control as of now. Incidentally, Naku La was one of the original face-off sites, along with Pangong Tso, Galwan, Gogra, Hot Springs, in early May last year. The clash took place when the governments and militaries both the countries were readying for another round of talks to resolve border dispute along the 3,488 kilometre-long Line of Actual Control (LAC), said the government sources....

Dr. Anthony Fauci just announced the Biden administration’s commitment to “advance gender equality at home and around the world.” This is underscored by President Joe Biden’s executive order allowing biological males to compete in girls’ and women’s sports and removing justification for female spaces in schools. We are watching the deliberate deconstruction of biological distinctions before our eyes. But there is much more at stake here than women’s privacy or women’s sports, though those concerns remain vital.

Members of the U.S. Senate are now reportedly talking about a censure resolution against former President Trump after a vote earlier in the day indicated that there wasn't enough support to convict him in a trial following his impeachment earlier this month by the House. The vote in the Senate was over the question of whether it was constitutional to hold a trial for a president who had been impeached but had already left office. Only five Republican senators, along with all 50 Democratic senators, voted that it was constitutional, while 45 Republican senators voted that it wasn't. Axios reported...

Biden Signs Executive Order To Ban The Term ‘China Virus’ The latest of Joe Biden’s THIRTY SEVEN executive orders signed in the first week of his presidency states that the term ‘Chinese virus’ or ‘China virus’ is now banned. Yes, this is real. The White House website confirms that Biden signed this EO. CBS News reported ‘Biden to address racism toward Asian Americans during pandemic with executive action’. The report notes that “The Biden executive order is also expected to direct federal agencies like the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to examine whether there are xenophobic references like...

Paris (AFP) - Earth's oceans have been warming consistently throughout the last 12,000 years, according to research published Wednesday that authors said showed clearly humanity's profound effect on the climate.Researchers in the US and China reassessed sea temperature models and found that they usually represented seasonal temperature variations rather than the annual average.Adjusting for these seasonal discrepancies, they found that sea temperatures have in fact risen more or less in lock step with global air temperatures over the last 12,000 years.The newly adjusted sea temperature models suggested that oceans are currently roughly as warm as they were during the last...

The video is still posted on Facebook, but there is no need to go to Facebook, because I recorded the video via screen capture software, and uploaded it to my blog. As I was capturing it, scrolled the comments down for you to see. here is the link to the video. The 15 year old stabbed, would die later at the hospital. They are young children between 12 and 14, they giggle, and say things that can be hard to understand, and like all children they are clueless as to the consequences of their actions.Facebook claims to be the arbiters...

Colorado Parks and Wildlife recently shared a video of an encounter between a skunk and one of Colorado's deadliest predators with an outcome many wouldn't expect. The video below captures a skunk walking by a mountain lion at night. The clip then cuts to another scene that shows the mountain lion seemingly trying to decide whether or not to pounce on the small creature. The skunk (now seen through the brush on the left side of the clip) bluff charges the lion multiple times as the lion can be seen sinking backward and baring its teeth. Eventually, the skunk wanders...

The last huge earthquake, the last really “Big One” to hit the Pacific Northwest Coast, struck around 9 p.m. on Jan. 26, 1700 — 321 years ago. Called Cascadia, the magnitude 9.0 quake caused the entire Pacific Northwest coastline to suddenly drop 3 to 6 feet and sent a 33-foot high tsunami across the ocean to Japan.

Remember folks, ALWAYS follow the money. There is a guy who we all know. He portrays himself as a very wealthy grandfatherly type. He’s just a kind old man. He’s an awe-shucks investor. You know, “I just look for value.” Yet there is another side to Warren Buffett. He is a cutthroat, manipulative investor who loves, loves, loves to contribute to politicians, the Democratic Party, and PACs that will do his bidding, which brings us to the fortune he will make with Joe Biden killing the Keystone Pipeline. How? Well, he owns BNSF – Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad –...

I consider the author Neal Stephenson a visionary. For example in his 1999 novel Cryptonomicon, he essentially describes a Bitcoin type cryptocurrency, almost a decade before it existed. In a past video, I described his idea in The Diamond Age of “distributed governments” which provide insurance-like services to customers, regardless of the geographic area they live in. Customers were free to choose their own government, or go without one. Stephenson has another fascinating, newer book called Fall, or Dodge in Hell, in which the internet splinters after a massive hoax convinced people online that an entire city had been wiped...

We’ve known about this for over 100 years, yet Hollywood has an economy that is stronger and more robust than most developing countries today. It’s time to make Pelosi’s and Kamala Harris’ state answer for their crimes against children and their slave trade. (Video)
