Due process, you’re now officially uncanceled. Sure, you had your temporary reinstatement last spring when a woman named Tara Reade (remember her?) accused then-candidate Joe Biden of sexual assault. All woman couldn’t be believed, it seemed, as journalists began uncovering damning evidence about Reade’s history, like the fact that she, um, had issues with landlords and former acquaintances called her “deceitful” and “manipulative.” Plus, it was just one woman and nobody really paid much attention. Giving men accused of sexual impropriety a chance to clear their name could still be problematic, it seemed. After all, if we had to apply...

VIDEOTulsi Gabbard's recent criticism of Joe Biden supposedly ordering the bombing of Syria portends a big civil war on the left. I say "portending" because there is a good chance that someone within the Deep State ordered that bombing without Biden even being aware of it. This criticism by Gabbard is only the tip of the giant growing rift now happening between what I call the honest left, people such as Gabbard, Jimmy Dore, and others and the eliminationist left, composed unfortunately of much of the current establishment Democrat party who want to eliminate the right of their opponents via...

Sen. Roy Blunt’s, R-Mo., announcement that he won’t seek re-election next year — following the same decisions by Sens. Richard Burr, R-N.C., Pat Toomey, R-Pa., and Rob Portman, R-Ohio — represents more than an exodus of non-Trump Republicans. It represents the end of the Bush Era Republicans in Washington — or close to it. Portman, after all, worked as a top official in the Bush 43 administration before getting elected to the Senate in 2010. Burr first won election to the upper chamber in 2004, which was the year W. Bush won re-election. And while both Blunt and Toomey first...

Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, a professor at Stanford University Medical School, recently said that COVID-19 lockdowns are the "biggest public health mistake we've ever made...The harm to people is catastrophic." Several U.S. states have started to ease their COVID-19 restrictions over the past few weeks.. Bhattacharya, who made the comments during an interview with the Daily Clout, co-authored the Great Barrington Declaration, a petition that calls for the end of COVID-19 lockdowns, claiming that they are "producing devastating effects on short and long-term public health." As of Monday, the Great Barrington Declaration has received signatures from over 13,000 medical and public...

The meteorite has had British scientists in raptures of joy. It's a carbonaceous chondrite - a dark stony material that retains unaltered chemistry from the formation of our Solar System 4.6 billion years ago, and, as such, could give us fresh insights on how the planets came into being. The first thing the Wilcock family knew about it was when they heard a dull thud outside their house on the night of Sunday 28 February. Scientists knew fragments of a meteorite must be in the Gloucestershire area. Their cameras had recorded the rock coming through the atmosphere that Sunday night,...

McConnell Out? Insiders Drop Bomb, May Not Finish Out Term: Report By Kipp Jones Published March 6, 2021 at 11:29am Mewe Share After being elected to seven terms in the U.S. Senate, a report claims Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell might be on his way out and seeking someone to replace him. McConnell, 79, most recently cruised to his sixth re-election in November by a margin of 57.8 percent to 38.2 percent over Democratic challenger Amy McGrath. Former President Donald Trump endorsed McConnell in the race, which Democrats reportedly felt would be more competitive than it was. But following Biden’s...

The federal stimulus package likely to be signed by President Biden this week will erase the majority of San Francisco's projected $650 million budget shortage.

The beauty and personal-care company Unilever said on Tuesday that it would no longer use the word “normal” on its products and in its advertising, following a study that revealed it makes most people feel excluded. Unilever, a London-based company that owns Dove, Axe, Sunsilk and Vaseline, among other personal-care brands, also said it would not digitally alter the body shape, size and skin color of models in its advertising as part of its Positive Beauty initiative, according to a news release. And the company promised to increase the number of ads featuring underrepresented people, without specifying which groups.

Funding for “climate justice.” A bailout for mismanaged union pension plans. A new subway system for Silicon Valley. These are just a few of the ways Democrats plan to spend your tax dollars in their $1.9 trillion “COVID relief bill.” Unlike any of the five relief packages signed into law last year, this bill has the support of only one party. It’s easy to see why. In addition to these ridiculous pet projects, this bill contains a long list of wasteful, counterproductive and partisan policies that fail to address the crisis at hand. The House plans to pass Democrats’ $1.9...

A prominent Hollywood gossip blogger has claimed that Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg has been communicating with Ted Kaczynski, better know as the Unabomber. The allegation was made on Sunday by the self-described Hollywood lawyer known as "Enty," who anonymously runs the famous "Crazy Days and Nights" blog. Over the last 15 years, Enty has made a name for himself by outing celebrities he claims are tied to prominent scandals. Enty has been credited with, among other things, dropping details about disgraced producer Harvey Weinstein years prior to his public undoing. In his most recent post, which it says came...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Interior Department will launch its review of the federal oil and gas leasing program on March 25, a source familiar with the matter said, a key step that will determine whether the Biden administration will permanently halt new leases on federal land and water. The review will kick off with a public forum on oil and gas leasing on federal land and water, with panelists representing industry, environmental conservation and justice groups, labor and others, and commence an online comment period, the source said. This input would inform an interim report on the future of the...

Something is happening and you don't know what it is. Do you, Mr. Jones?

Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro reminded MSNBC Morning Joe’s Economic Analyst Steve Rattner how the American tax system works, and it was glorious. Rattner took to Twitter to prop up President Joe Biden’s $1.9 trillion pork-laced stimulus package. Rattner tweeted, “The top 20% of households reaped 65% of benefit from Trump’s tax cuts. The bottom 20% got 1%.” Pivoting off, Rattner fawned how Biden’s “American Rescue Plan gives aid to those who actually need it.” He even included a chart to illustrate his point. Not so fast. Shapiro had another chart, which completely blew up Rattner’s narrative.

WNCN) — The former CEO and founder of pizza chain Papa John’s says he has been working on not using racist language for the past 20 months. John Schnatter, the Papa John’s founder who in 2018 stepped down for using the N-word during a conference call said in an interview with One America News Network that he is “not a racist” and that the pizza chain’s board has painted him in that manner.

Following the rise in popularity of the Detroit-style pizza pie, Pizza Hut released its own version of the square-shaped midwestern classic back in January. Promising a thick, caramelized crust and cheese that stretches all the way to the edges in all directions, it was supposed to be a slam dunk launch for the chain that no one can out-pizza. Unfortunately, based on a mostly negative response to the pie on social media and in some food publications, it sounds like Pizza Hut may have inadvertently created the most disliked pizza in the country (at the moment…) instead. You'd think that...

For a stark contrast to the silly fawning by much of the U.S. media over the Sunday night Oprah Winfrey interview starring Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, look no further than Good Morning Britain host (and former CNN host) Piers Morgan. Morgan penned an acidulous takedown for the U.K. Daily Mail that even puts fury in the headline: "Meghan and Harry's nauseating two-hour Oprah whine-athon was a disgraceful diatribe of cynical race-baiting propaganda designed to damage the Queen as her husband lies in hospital - and destroy the Monarchy."

THIRD WEEK OF LENT MATTHEW 18:21–35 Friends, today’s Gospel gives us the parable of the unforgiving servant, which reveals what is at the root of our inability to forgive. In the deepest sense, we don’t belong to ourselves. Everything we have and all that we are comes from God. We are meant, with all of our gifts, to serve God’s purposes. Our very existence comes from God, but so does the forgiveness of our sins. Through no merit of ours, Christ has died for our sins and offered us the divine mercy. The upshot is this: there is nothing particularly...

Everything is a risk. A year ago, this was our last normal weekend and we didn't even know it. Now, we're deep into a pandemic, with ever-rising Covid-19-related deaths, a new strain on the loose and news of people still experiencing symptoms months after testing positive. But as more people get vaccinated, it finally seems like there's hope on the horizon. Eventually, someday soon, the joys of normal life will return. And yet, we have to ask: Why bother? What's the point of ever leaving home again? Getting dinner, grabbing drinks, working out, seeing a movie. All these comforts of...

Former Vice President Mike Pence plans to next month give his first speech since leaving office, talking to a Christian nonprofit group in South Carolina. An unnamed Pence aide told the Associated Press on Sunday the Indiana Republican will speak at a dinner hosted by the Christian non-profit group the Palmetto Family Council. The paid event is expected to attract 450 to 600 guests April 29 at the Columbian Metropolitan Convention Center in South Carolina. Vice President Mike Pence … is very reflective of the ideas, policies, policies and direction that we at Palmetto Family want to see in South...
