This site is an aggregate site with many solid sources in the posts. However, some posts are off-the-wall, but I still find it an interesting read. This post re Lin Wood caught my attention big time. While much can be said in the negative re Lin Wood, I somehow feel that he has stumbled on to something that explains everything. This post is an aggregate of his Telegram posts. His charge is that the reason the Georgia State Bar is going after his license is to neutralize him in order to keep from exposing the business relationships tangled up in...

President Trump’s attorney Michael van der Veen dispelled mainstream media’s false claims about his acquittal. He refuted an attempt by a CBS reporter to downplay the significance of Democrat impeachment managers selectively editing evidence for the Senate trial.“The media has to start telling the right story in this country…the media is trying to divide this country,” stated the attorney. “You are bloodthirsty for ratings!”Van der Veen noted, Democrats committed massive wrongdoing during the sham impeachment and mainstream media is covering that up.

Excellence is falling prey to activists who prefer to believe that social justice means making outcomes equal for every race at any expense.Excellence is falling prey to activists who prefer to believe that social justice means making outcomes equal for every race at any expense. [Advocates for standardized tests] will claim white and Asian kids on average score higher on tests because they are smarter or work harder.

Though they might not be the king of street food today, a hundred years ago Tamales dominated street corners, with tamale vendors becoming so popular that turf wars broke out. Though it was briefly impossible to avoid tamaleros, they vanished almost as quickly as they came. The history of the “Tamale Wars” is history that deserves to be remembered.

Ultra-Woke Illinois Mandates Are Top Threat to U.S. Education By STANLEY KURTZ Step aside, California. Minnesota, hang your head. Illinois is the wokest of all, and what it does will spread. Yes, woke K-12 curricula grounded in neo-Marxist Critical Race Theory are on the march through America’s schools. We’ve just learned that a California elementary school is forcing third-graders to deconstruct their racial identities and rank themselves by “power and privilege.” Although California governor Gavin Newsom vetoed a too-woke ethnic-studies high-school graduation requirement last fall, a reworked version, still saturated with Critical Race Theory, has just been released for public...

WASHINGTON, Thursday, Feb. 14. The Senate had a prolonged EXecutive session to day, over the nomination of PETIT for United States Judge of Kansas. Contrary to expectation, he would have been confirmed, had a vote been obtained, but it is rumored that this was defeated by repeated calls of the Yeas and Nays. It is a very unfortunate fact that some Republican Senators are generally absent when their votes are most needed. This is an abuse which needs correction or rebuke. The whole number of Senators, since the secession of six States, is 54, of which the Republicans are just...

“China is going to eat our lunch? Come on, man!” That was Joe Biden in May 2019. Fast forward to January 2021, Biden was heard to utter: “If we don’t get moving, they’re going to eat our lunch!” Points For Consistency? Biden does not miss a chance to blame the current circumstances on Donald J. Trump—the excuse that never expires. You’re a clown, @ChrisMurphyCT. pic.twitter.com/q8wZ3Nd7Vp — Raheem Kassam (@RaheemKassam) February 15, 2021 In remarks at the National Institutes of Health on Thursday, Biden did some storytelling: “While scientists did their job in discovering vaccines in record time, my predecessor —...

President Joe Biden has pulled 65 pending Trump administration executive orders, many of which deal with key national security and immigration matters. Several of the withdrawals strike down orders that would protect American jobs by tightening immigration restrictions and eliminate proposed oversight regulations on how China-backed Confucius Institutes operate on campus. The Biden administration selectively cut the orders, as some pending Trump administration actions remain under review. Biden withdrew one Department of Homeland Security regulation that would bar foreign nationals with deportation orders from working. Under current law, outgoing aliens released from custody can still seek legal employment. The proposed—and...

Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) has called for Kamala Harris to be impeached over her support for violent rioters involved in last year's Black Lives Matter riots. Graham said the Democrats' second impeachment trial against President Donald Trump set such a bad precedent that House Republicans will impeach Harris when they retake the majority.

Media giant Condé Nast has refused to pay $2.4 million in rent for its office space at One World Trade Center as it tries to shrink its square footage in the building, The Wall Street Journal reported. Condé Nast — which owns publications such as Vanity Fair, The New Yorker and Vogue — withheld its January rent for its space and could hold back on paying even more in the future, WSJ reported. The publisher is withholding the rent in an attempt to further reduce its footprint in the 104-story building, co-owned by the Durst Organization and the Port Authority...

The House Democrats’ campaign arm has hired an ex-gangster-turned-high-profile criminal justice advocate for a top leadership position, The Post has learned. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, headed by Hudson Valley area Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney, tapped Dyjuan Tatro as a senior adviser for diversity and inclusion. Tatro is known for appearing in the 2019 PBS documentary series “College Behind Bars,” about a group of inmates trying to earn their degrees through New York state’s Bard Prison Initiative. Through the program, Tatro got a bachelor’s degree while serving a six-year sentence for racketeering conspiracy. At the time of that 2011 conviction,...

As regular readers know, I’m a big fan of cabins with balconies. As I explained in a recent story, there’s nothing quite like being able to step onto a balcony on a ship to breathe in the fresh ocean air. But that doesn’t mean I’m opposed to the idea of staying in a cabin without a balcony. In fact, at times, I’ll even book a cabin that doesn’t have a window — or, as they’re known in the cruise world, an “inside” cabin. If you’ve never been on a cruise before, you might not even know there’s such a thing...

America's top infectious disease official Dr. Anthony Fauci received a prestigious $1 million Israeli prize Monday, along with six other researchers who shared two additional $1 million prizes for their contributions to health and medicine. The Dan David Prize, affiliated with Tel Aviv University, said it honored Fauci for his career in public health and "speaking truth to power" during the politicized COVID-19 crisis. Fauci "is the consummate model of leadership and impact in public health," the awards committee said in a statement.

Division by both sides on the directions of the Republican and Democratic parties has helped drive support for a national third party to an all-time high of 62%.In the latest Gallup survey, just 33% are pleased with the two-party system.What’s more, former President Donald Trump’s talk about his own “MAGA” party could be playing a role in a spike in GOP support for something new.“Republicans' record desire for a third party comes at a time when they are deciding whether to remain loyal to Trump or to move on from him,” according to the survey analysis just released.“Currently, 68% of...
