A leftist journalist expressed regret about calling for Silicon Valley to censor content after it happened to him. Progressive reporter Jordan Chariton had the change of heart after YouTube took down one of his videos. Chariton’s original advocacy for censorship occurred when he called for Big Tech giants to target anyone who questioned the legitimacy of the 2020 presidential election. “EVERY media outlet that pushed this INSANE election fraud conspiracy for clicks should be taken off the air. They’ve incited a Civil War,” Chariton tweeted on January 6, the date of the Capitol breach. However, after YouTube pulled video from...

Law enforcement said the survivor said he was walking down the street when he was approached by a man who had crossed the street and began punching him in the head and chest. The survivor reportedly pulled out his concealed firearm...

Why the Democrats’ lack of interest in free speech and their reliance on force? My father often said that persuasion is better than force. I doubt he knew how universally true that is. You’ve probably heard many times someone say there’s no difference between Democrats and Republicans. That is just plain wrong. The choice of persuasion or force is the central difference between the Republican and Democrat parties. For the most part Republicans dislike the use of force and Democrats dislike the use of persuasion, especially persuasion in the form of free speech. Why the Democrats’ lack of interest in...

And Democrats will stop at nothing to prevent President Trump from running for office in 2024. As Thomas Wolfe titled a chapter in his posthumous novel You Can't Go Home Again, -- "I have a thing to tell you." What I have to tell is not about the plight of a German Jew trying to get money out of the Third Reich, the context of this cited part of the Wolfe novel. What I have to tell is that Alexander Hamilton, in Federalist No. 65, wrote that a former president "will still be liable to prosecution and punishment in the...

Pray For the Peace of JerusalemLambs, Sheep, and Shepherds.Revelation 12The Woman and the Dragon 12 A great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head. 2 She was pregnant and cried out in pain as she was about to give birth. 3 Then another sign appeared in heaven: an enormous red dragon with seven heads and ten horns and seven crowns on its heads. 4 Its tail swept a third of the stars out of the sky and flung them to the earth....

On January 28, while attempting to take a photo of a suspicious vehicle cruising in front of his San Francisco home, 76-year-old private investigator Jack Palladino was grabbed by one of the two men in the car and dragged forty feet before falling over backward and lethally striking his head. Not since the Zebra killings of the 1970s has one murder caused San Francisco's leftist worthies so much consternation. If you do not know of the Zebra killers, there is a reason why. The killers were black. All 21 of their victims, 14 fatal, were white or Asian. The Zodiac...

Well, that didn't take long. The Harris/Trotsky administration’s opening salvo of executive orders stopping the Keystone Pipeline, allowing Chinese access to the US power grid, destroying women’s sports, and declaring diabetic Americans as collateral damage is only a precursor to the anti-terrorism and gun control laws targeting some seventy-four million voters. So, what are you and your family’s first steps as this barbed wire curtain swiftly envelops our formerly constitutional Republic? (We do not have a constitutional Republic while there are still thousands military troops occupying our nation’s capital. We are now enduring a Kabuki government as we are being...

Nancy Pelosi took hypocrisy to new heights during the memorial for the police officer who died after the Capitol riots — and that’s saying something, for her. The newfound faux reverence for law enforcement from the House speaker and her “defund the police” comrades after cheering on and inciting violence against cops most of last year is grotesque. Despite Pelosi’s nauseating insincerity as she presided over the two-day commemoration of Brian Sicknick, the dignity and grace of his grieving parents and police colleagues mercifully elevated the honors high above tawdry political opportunism. Because, of course, what else is it but...

Congresswoman Liz Cheney is remaining in House Republican leadership after the vote to oust her from that role failed during a meeting late Wednesday. According to early reports, the vote overwhelmingly favored Cheney — 145-61.

Jordan Peterson was a relatively unknown clinical psychologist and University of Toronto professor until his brave 2016 challenge to a draconian Canadian law on transgender pronouns drew widespread attention. Millions watched his brilliant, wide-ranging YouTube lectures about life, truth, feelings, personality, and values. For a while there he seemed ubiquitous, giving interviews and lectures around the world and, in the process, becoming the planet's most famous living public intellectual. He published a massive bestseller, 12 Rules for Life. Then, suddenly, he disappeared. For the last two years he's been in medical hell, experiencing torturous pain and being brought to the...

Police say the drugs are worth $500,000.

When I was a boy about 11, I committed a crime that changed my life. I stole a book. I was a book thief. I found it in another kid’s desk and began reading, hiding it behind some boring textbook, and couldn’t give it up.

The Scottish parliament on Wednesday rejected a call for the government to investigate how Donald Trump funded his purchase of two golf courses in Scotland, a request dismissed as "pathetic" by one of the former U.S. president's sons. The Scottish Green Party brought forward a motion calling on ministers to seek an "unexplained wealth order" (UWO) against Trump over his acquisition of the golf courses and resorts in north and west Scotland. It was defeated by a vote of 89 to 32. The party's co-leader Patrick Harvie said there were longstanding concerns about Trump's financial conduct, describing the ex-president as...

“at least 30% of each of billed associate and partner time will be from diverse attorneys, and of such amounts at least half will be from Black attorneys.” Coca-Cola Company is now mandating racial quotas for how its outside law firms staff Coca-Cola work. Not just aspirations to increase diversity, straight out minimums based on race. In the zero sum game of how a limited number of matters are staffed by a limited number of lawyers, that means Coca-Cola is mandating that law firms engage in racism. Bloomberg Law reports: The Coca-Cola Company has launched one of the legal industry’s...

In a hearing for President Biden's nominee for education secretary Wednesday, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) pressed Dr. Miguel Cardona to weigh in on the ongoing debate about how transgender students should compete in sports, describing the concept of students competing with their corresponding gender identity as “bizarre” and repeatedly mislabeling transgender girls as “boys.” In a line of questioning that’s since drawn criticism on social media, the Republican senator repeatedly asked Cardona if he thinks it’s fair to have “boys competing with girls,” arguing it will “completely destroy girls’ athletics.” Paul specifically drew on findings published by the U.S. Department...
