Rachel Levine is on the brink of becoming America’s Assistant Secretary for Health. The notion is so facially absurd it belongs in a cartoon, or perhaps a Mike Judge movie. Levine is an obese man who has pumped himself with hormones and possibly even mutilated himself in the belief he is a woman. As Pennsylvania’s health secretary, he oversaw a COVID regime that, like neighboring New York, was both oppressive and ineffective, with one of the nation’s highest coronavirus death rates (Levine himself, of course, pulled his mother out of a nursing home as the virus began to spread there)....

Ok. I’m not computer genius and I don’t know if anyone knows how to tell me in a simple way how to get rid of this but when I right click on a photo and attempt to save to my IPAD photos I get this message: Cannot save photo the file couldn’t be saved (NSCocoaErrorDomain512) I have looked this up on Google and the answers to fix this problem are bewildering to me. Stuff about strings and document file. Is there a way to fix this easily? Btw this is on my IPAD. I do not have a smartphone.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Yesterday, U.S. Senator Rand Paul (R-KY), ranking member of the Senate Small Business Committee, forced Democrats to remove a provision in their massive $1.9 trillion liberal wish list of a spending bill that would have allowed every Planned Parenthood across America to receive free money through the Paycheck Protection Program – money which was always intended for small businesses. “Democrats knew this was never about COVID relief or helping small businesses,” said Dr. Paul. “It was a shameless attempt to fund their radical agenda on the taxpayers’ backs and I was successful in preventing that from happening...

Earlier this week during a San Francisco budget committee meeting, it was revealed that the city’s “Safe Sleeping Villages” homeless tent program was costing $16.1 million a year, or around $5,000 per person per month.

Explanation: The surface of this planet looks a little like Mars. It's really planet Earth though. In a digitally stitched little planet projection, the 360 degree mosaic was captured near San Pedro in the Chilean Atacama desert. Telescopes in domes on the horizon are taking advantage of the arid region's famously dark, clear nights. Taken in early December, a magnificent Milky Way arcs above the horizon for almost 180 degrees around the little planet with Orion prominent in the southern sky. A familiar constellation upside down for northern hemisphere skygazers, Orion shares that southern December night almost opposite the Large...

Biden Corruption, Justice for Trump, and Saving Elections: Judicial Watch at CPAC! Fauci NIH Emails Show China Info Control Judicial Watch Objects to California Attack on Donor Privacy ~snip~ Fauci NIH Emails Show China Info Control Dr. Anthony Fauci is one of the most powerful bureaucrats in modern American history and yet has been the subject of virtually no oversight and accountability by Congress, the media, or any other DC institution – except, of course, by Judicial Watch. We and the Daily Caller News Foundation received 301 pages of emails and other records of Fauci and Dr. H. Clifford...

The Beiging of Bishop BarronBishop Robert Barron first came to fame in the Catholic world for his fight against what he called “beige Catholicism.” The founder of Word on Fire rightly saw that a milquetoast, flaccid expression of Catholicism—so common in parishes across the country and embraced by the liberal elements of the Church—is a death knell for the Church. Barron wrote eloquent articles and produced polished videos reminding Catholics that the Faith is more than the insipid liturgies and watered-down teachings they were being fed each week. Justifiably, his influence grew and eventually he was named the Auxiliary Bishop...

President Donald Trump supporters rolled down 5th avenue in New York City on Friday afternoon with massive “Trump 2024” banners. Link The march advertised as “Trump Save America Flag Unfurling” featured gigantic pro-Trump signage — with one banner exhibiting Speaker Nancy Pelosi as a demon of sorts. “Love me some Diamond and Silk,” one pro-Trump demonstrator told Right Side Broadcasting Network correspondent Mike Nificent. The New York Antifa decided to mobilize as soon as they find out that MAGA supporters and the Proud Boys would in town. Nearing the end of the march, a few angry New Yorkers clashed with...

VALENTINE, Neb. – “Land: see Snatch.” On first look, the Biden Administration’s “30 x 30” plan looks like a scheme cooked up by Hedley Lamarr, the main villain from Mel Brooks’ “Blazing Saddles.” However, far from the comedic genius of the late Harvey Korman, the new Federal land grab is a serious threat to private property owners in the United States. And it’s moving fast.. Just a few days into office, President Joe Biden released a flurry of executive orders, among them being through Executive Order 14008, “Tackling the Climate Crisis at Home and Abroad” (86 Fed. Reg. 7,619), which...

More on McCarrick and his Connections to the Obama/Biden White HouseMarch 5, 2021 (Steven O’Reilly) – I have previously written of ex-Cardinal McCarrick’s trip to China following his meeting with Pope Francis in June of 2013 (see here). Archbishop Vigano in his Testimony regardomg McCarrick seemed to suggest that the Pope’s rehabilitation of McCarrick was a reward for McCarrick’s significant role in Bergoglio’s election in March 2013. The significance of McCarrick’s role has been told in more detail in The Conclave Chronicles.Roma Locuta Est has also called attention to the fact that the McCarrick Report failed to report on McCarrick’s...

Another accuser has come forward to accuse Gov. Andrew (Fast Hands) Cuomo of sexual assault. Dr. "Rachael" Levine has accused Gov. Cuomo of groping her at the conference for COVID solutions. They had just solved the problem of where to send inconvenient old expendable COVID patients. The governors of Pa, Mi, Or, Wa, Ca, and NY agreed that they should be sent to nursing homes where old inconvenient expendable people were normally sent. Rachael said the assault took place at the hotel bar where they were celebrating with shots and beer chasers. Rachael claimed that "Fast Hands" Cuomo groped her...

Traders at Goldman Sachs may reap huge profits from the winter storm last month that left many across Texas and other Southern states without electricity, clean water and heat, Bloomberg News reported Friday. The Wall Street bank could make up to $200 million from the physical sale of power and natural gas and from financial hedges after spot prices jumped, the report said, citing people familiar with the matter. SNIP Bloomberg reported that while the bank could make $200 million on paper, the actual profits collected are likely to be less, as regulators and consumers intervene with legal challenges in...

March 5, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) — For years, the annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) has served to highlight the conservative movement’s divisions at least as much as its points of unity, with some of the most intense infighting revolving around LGBT issues.As my intrepid colleague Doug Mainwaring detailed Thursday, the Republican Party’s LGBT inroads spearheaded by Donald Trump come at a cost: the dilution of the GOP and the Right’s longstanding positions on marriage, sexuality, and biological truth. Here I’d like to focus on one specific skirmish of this divide, and how it illustrates the way unconservative values get smuggled...

To state the obvious: Former President Trump remains the dominant force in the GOP and the most popular figure among Republican voters. As Trump flirts with a 2024 presidential run to regain the White House, the early data clearly shows that if the nomination race were held today, the former president would be the overwhelming favorite. Without Trump in the race, a new survey conducted by a GOP pollster who worked on Trump’s 2016 campaign and the then-president’s 2020 reelection campaign, points to former Vice President Mike Pence and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis as the early favorites in what may...

Dr. Anthony Fauci warned Friday that the US may soon be hit with a spike in COVID-19 cases — even though the country has administered more vaccine shots than any other nation. The recent plateau in cases from record-high post-holiday rates is actually a sign that Americans should mask up and brace for another potential boom in infections, Fauci said while citing past coronavirus data trends at a White House press briefing. “We’ve just now recently experienced the worst surge,” Fauci said. “The issue is that we are starting to plateau. That plateau is about 60,000 to 70,000 cases a...

Former CIA Director John Brennan lamented his own Whiteness on Monday, suggesting that other men of his race were acting in embarrassing ways. "I’m increasingly embarrassed to be a white male these days, when I see what my other white males [are] saying," he told MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace, who laughed in response. She, Brennan, and Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., were arguing that Republicans had lied about the truth of what happened during the riots on Jan. 6. "It just shows that with very few exceptions, like Mitt Romney, Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger, there are so few Republicans in Congress...

ARLINGTON, Va.—Americans for Prosperity (AFP) today issued the following statement from Dan Pearson, AFP Trade Policy Fellow, on the Biden administration’s decision to suspend tariffs previously imposed on a number of UK products stemming from the Boeing-Airbus dispute. The suspension will last four months while the countries attempt to resolve the matter: “It is encouraging to see the Biden Administration provide relief from these tariffs. In addition to the benefits Americans will experience from this move, we are hopeful this will lead to a lasting settlement of the dispute between the US and the UK and EU. Freer trade increases...

Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky.,asked whether minors should be allowed to permanently change their genders Thursday, and Senate Health, Education Labor and Pensions Committee Chair Patty Murray, D-Wash., accused him of making "ideological and harmful misrepresentations."(snip) Paul asked Dr. Rachel Levine, who is on track to become the first openly transgender nominee to be confirmed by the Senate, whether she believed minors should be allowed to decide for themselves to undergo permanent life-altering surgeries or hormone therapies. "American culture is now normalizing the idea that minors can be given hormones to prevent their biological development of their secondary sexual characteristics," Paul...
