The mainstream media has lost no time in falling over themselves to fawn over President Biden, but in doing so, many, the New York Times not the least among them, have made outlandish claims that are, at best, laughable, and at worst, horrifying. In an article headlined, “In Biden’s Catholic Faith, and Ascendant Liberal Christianity”, the New York Times called newly-inaugurated President Joe Biden the “most religiously observant commander in chief in half a century.” “Mr. Biden, perhaps the most religiously observant commander in chief in half a century, regularly attends Mass and speaks of how his Catholic faith grounds...

Social Media Giants Facebook, Instagram, and Tiktok livestreamed the murder of a 15-year-old girl by four extremely violent teens. Afterward, the four black teens can be seen on the footage gloating, defiant, eating popsicles and smiling. As Big Tech purges social media of independent and conservative voices for inciting violence, it seems to accept no responsibility for pedophilia or many other crimes on its curated platforms. In a shocking display of the state of social media and its effects on society, Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok all carried the livestream of four incredibly violent teenagers, aged 12-14, murdering another 15-year-old teen...

Note: The author's identity has been verified by the Washington Examiner, but her name is being redacted due to concerns of possible retaliation against her spouse. When news broke last week that soldiers serving in the Maryland National Guard on active duty at the U.S. Capitol were banished to a cold, exhaust-filled parking garage, Congress rushed to offer outrage. Social media exploded with vows from members to “get to the bottom” of things and to “make them right.” Unfortunately, that passion from just a few days ago has faded into business as usual on Capitol Hill. My husband serves in...

Former President Donald Trump’s top economic adviser Larry Kudlow is joining Fox News as a contributor and business host, the network announced Tuesday. “FOX News Media was among the first news organizations in the country to understand the critical importance of the relationship between Washington and Wall Street,” Kudlow said in a statement included in the press release. “I’ve long admired their insightful coverage and am excited to join many of my former colleagues now at FBN, creating a show that speaks to the real issues truly impacting Americans.” Kudlow will “provide expert financial analysis on domestic and global affairs...

Biden Launches Commission On Supreme Court Reform Joe Biden has quietly launched a commission on “reforming” the Supreme Court, potentially dropping a partisan bomb onto Congress at the same time he’s pleading for “unity and healing.” Politico reports that it will supposedly be bipartisan, but there’s only party demanding changes to the top court’s structure. Republicans will fight tooth and nail to stop any such bill from passing. It might come down to a filibuster fight in which Joe Manchin might finally have to decide whether he’s going to represent West Virginia or Chuck Schumer. This kind of radical overreach...

The haughty and very, very French-looking failed Presidential candidate John Kerry did his part in advancing the Biden Administration’s “Make China Great Again” agenda at today’s White House press briefing. Asked by a fawning fake reporter what he would say to oil industry workers who correctly believe their jobs are being eliminated by China Joe Potato Head Biden’s mushrooming assault on the domestic energy business, Kerry responded with this: VDO.AI “What President Biden wants to do is make sure that those folks have better choices… That they can be the people to go to work to make the solar panels.”...

The US Department of Homeland Security declared a nationwide terrorism alert Wednesday, citing the potential threat from domestic anti-government extremists opposed to Joe Biden as president. "Information suggests that some ideologically-motivated violent extremists with objections to the exercise of governmental authority and the presidential transition, as well as other perceived grievances fueled by false narratives, could continue to mobilize to incite or commit violence," the department said. The National Terrorism Advisory System Bulletin said a heightened threat of attack "will persist in the weeks following the successful presidential inauguration," which took place on January 20. "DHS does not have any...

Bishops’ LGBT Statement LackingCompassion without doctrineNEW YORK (ChurchMilitant.com) - A pastoral statement from pro-LGBT bishops on youth with same-sex attraction is notable for what it does not say. Issued on Monday, the document, titled "God is on Your Side," denounces the bullying of so-called LGBT young people. While it speaks eloquently of the love and mercy of God and the evil of harassment and hazing, it nevertheless keeps silent on God's universal call to chastity, the morality of homosexual behavior and gender ideology.As of press time, ten bishops so far have signed the statement:Cdl. Joseph Tobin of NewarkAbp. John Wester...

The Biden administration is eliminating an office that was recently created to protect many millions of American graduates — including Biden’s young voters — from government-fueled corporate discrimination in hiring, pay, and workplace rights. The worker-rights office was announced January 13 by President Donald Trump’s deputies and canceled January 26 by Biden’s deputies. The short-lived office was intended to document and expose the corporate discrimination against Americans that is fueled by the huge Occupational Practical Training (OPT) program. In 2019, the OPT program provided work permits to 400,000 foreign graduates so they can take the jobs and opportunities needed by...

Every human has been hot wired with a special faith component to our souls, even agnostics and atheists have faith in what they believe. Another way to explain this would be to say we have all been created with an addiction gene. It's that ever yearning desire to find something that will make us feel like we belong, or comfortable in our own skin if you will.From the moment we become conscious of our self, we begin searching for that One Thing our soul craves. For each of us it could be a different point in life. Some find it...

Potassium is an important nutrient for many body processes. Bananas are a well-known source of potassium, but many other foods contain just as much — if not more — of this nutrient. Potassium is an electrolyte that helps regulate fluid and blood levels in the body. Many fruits and vegetables are excellent sources of potassium. Meat, milk, yogurt, and nuts are also good sources. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a diet high in potassium and low in sodium — an electrolyte in table salt and processed foods — can lower blood pressure and reduce the...

Mitch (via his Twitter feed).."Today, I made clear that if Democrats ever attack the key Senate rules, it would drain the consent and comity out of the institution. A scorched-earth Senate would hardly be able to function. It wouldn’t be a progressive’s dream. It would be a nightmare. I guarantee it."

A historic pub in the centre of Oxford that has served students, scholars and literary greats for over 450 years is to close. The Lamb and Flag, once frequented by the likes of Lord of the Rings author J.R.R. Tolkien and his friend C.S. Lewis, who wrote The Chronicles of Narnia, has suffered a disastrous loss of revenues since the start of the pandemic. It first opened in 1566 and moved to its present location on St Giles, a broad thoroughfare in the city centre, in 1613. It is owned by St John’s College, one of 45 colleges and private...

In the lead-up to the 2016 presidential election, a Delray Beach man is accused of using his popular social-media accounts to intimidate and mislead voters in an effort to help former President Donald Trump win, according to a federal complaint. Douglass Mackey, 31, used Twitter and Facebook accounts that operated under the alias “Ricky Vaughn” to spread disinformation in the form of memes, messages and hashtags that he developed for the goal of influencing voters, according to the complaint. He was arrested on Wednesday and later released on $50,000 bond. Public records show he lives in Delray Beach. His Twitter...

Antifa has seen a steady increase in media attention ever since President Donald Trump was first inaugurated in January 2017. They often portray themself as a highly organized group of “terrorists” worthy of national watch lists. The right blames Antifa members for rioting and looting. Democrats haven’t condemned such violence and many on the left say the rhetoric about Antifa is greatly exaggerated, and that it’s less of an organized movement than just something of “an idea.” Joe Biden, during the first presidential debate on Tuesday, dismissed Antifa as “an idea” when asked to condemn left-wing violent extremism – but...

Top officials in Puerto Rico say they believe they can make progress toward statehood, after voters on the island approved a statehood referendum and now that Democrats control Congress and the White House. In interviews, Gov. Pedro Pierluisi (D) and Resident Commissioner Jenniffer González-Colón (R) said they believed they can build bipartisan support for a statehood measure in the House this year, though both acknowledged the uphill fight such a bill would face in the Senate. “It will have a substantial majority of support with votes from both sides of the aisle. Primarily Democrats, but there will be a significant...
