Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced that he is deploying National Guard troops to the southern border to address what he calls a “crisis.” Abbott (R) announced Operation Lone Star over the weekend to address the smuggling of people and drugs into the state, something he blames on the current administration. “The crisis at our southern border continues to escalate because of Biden Administration policies that refuse to secure the border and invite illegal immigration,” he said. “Texas supports legal immigration but will not be an accomplice to the open border policies that cause, rather than prevent, a humanitarian crisis in...

At the end of last month, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued an emergency use authorization (EUA) for the third vaccine for the prevention of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The EUA allows the Janssen COVID-19 Vaccine to be distributed in the U.S for use in individuals 18 years of age and older. “The authorization of this vaccine expands the availability of vaccines, the best medical prevention method for COVID-19, to help us in the fight against this pandemic, which has claimed over half a million lives in the United States,”...

We look around as conservatives and Christians and think that Big Tech is really coming down hard on us over certain topics like voter fraud and Covid vaccines. But this isn't the height of censorship. Not yet. It's a dry run. Things are going to get worse and they're only going to get better on platforms that are not "woke.". Things are really bad, right? Big Tech tyranny is absolutely horrendous right now with censorship, suspensions, and outright bans on accounts that talk about voter fraud, transgenderism, Covid vaccines, and a few other taboo topics. But as bad as it...

There were royal victims and villains in Harry and Meghan’s tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey. But there was only one immediate and clear winner: the American media queen. Winfrey burnished her stature as a master interviewer with Sunday’s special. She was in her element. She asked the couple holding hands in a alifornia garden to reveal the sins of a monarchy with 1,200 years of history. The answers, including claims of palace bigotry and callousness Meghan said put her on the brink of suicide, reverberated with U.S. viewers and in the U.K. Winfrey carefully framed the interview’s legitimacy at the...

So basically I have come to the conclusion that QAnon is not a threat and is basically a Ghost Dance by people who still think there is a chance for the Republic. The US government saw the Native American Ghost Dances in the same way, they puffed up the threat of it all. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghost_Dance The " QAnonCult " follows the same patterns as the " GhostDance Cults" As their land shrank and any sort of actual victory grew more & more distant it was expected that the "Great Spirit" would come forth and remove the "pale faces" from their land....

There is a story related in Dostoevsky’s The Brothers Karamazov about an old woman who was quite wicked. She dies and goes to hell to the great distress of her guardian angel. The angel searches for any possible good deed to plead on her behalf and finds a rotten onion – something the old woman had given to a beggar. The angel takes the onion and, with it, begins to pull the old woman out of hell. The end of the story is less than successful, but its power lies in the importance and significance given to even the smallest...

On March 8 around 3:03 p.m., officers responded to a Chik-fil-A on Peachtree Street. “Upon arrival, officers spoke with witnesses who stated a black male walked inside, produced a firearm and demanded money from several employees.

The Covid-19 pandemic has been catastrophic and devastating for those who have succumbed to it. The important issue for us societally and globally is that the risk group is defined and we know much better in March 2021 how to target and manage a response. March 2021 is not February 2020.Article by Paul E. Alexander from AIER.Moreover, the benefits of the governmental actions – lockdowns – have been overly overstated and inflated while the harms have been devastating. Those include harms to our children, the poorer children and minority children, undiagnosed and untreated diseases, excess mortality in years to come...

Democrats (and many Republicans) don’t seem to care about the mountain of debt Congress added last year and continues to add this year. Instead of simply opening the economy back up as the virus wanes, Democrats are plowing ahead with another $2 trillion in deficit spending. The Congressional Budget Office, a non-partisan agency, warns that this mountain of debt will explode interest payments, such that over the next 30 years, taxpayers will have to pony up $61 trillion in interest. (Interest payments, by the way, don’t buy you government services. Interest payments just eat up cash and crowd out other...

A TikTok influencer who claims to be a “minister” and “theologian” is potentially setting the stage for the woke-Left to cancel the Bible. The ‘minister’, who calls himself ‘Rev.

Many Texas Catholic parishes will continue face mask protocols, capacity limitsWASHINGTON — Many Catholic parishes in Texas will continue to ask parishioners to wear face masks and will limit capacity for Masses even though the state’s governor, Greg Abbott, announced March 2 these pandemic restrictions would be lifted the following week.Bishop Mark J. Seitz of El Paso said he has been getting a lot of questions after the governor’s announcement wondering if it would affect parish coronavirus safety practices.“The short answer is no!” he said in a March 4 statement, noting Abbott has often pointed out that “churches are free...

News last week of a third approved COVID-19 vaccine should signal a move toward normalcy. But thanks to blue state and bureaucratic screwups and this week’s Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines, giving the vaccinated masses “limited freedom” — which is to say limiting their freedom — there is little cause for excitement.At the close of February, the Food and Drug Administration authorized the new single-dose Johnson and Johnson vaccine, meaning tens of millions more doses will soon be pouring out into the population. Setting aside for a moment that this new vaccine is morally problematic for many Americans...

PARIS -- We pardon the interruption of your regularly scheduled programming of global conflict, economic woes and morbid daily pandemic tallies to bring you the sordid tale of a married couple complaining to a billionaire about their family, from which they have recently emancipated themselves and now accuse of racist undertones, backstabbing, badmouthing and almost driving one of them to suicide.Does that sound like a matter on which the White House and the prime minister of the United Kingdom should be commenting? Because they were asked to. Does it sound like something that 17 million Americans and millions more abroad...

China Joe is not running this administration, not even a tiny sliver of it. He is not in fact in charge of anything, and the public is finally starting to wake up to that reality despite the best efforts of the corrupt news media to provide cover for the Obama people who actually are running this administration. This can’t last much longer. We could be into the Kamala Harris Administration by May 1.

The Pentagon Tuesday evening announced Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin’s approval of a request by U.S. Capitol Police for a two-month extension of National Guard troops through May 23. The number of troops will be reduced, however, from approximately 5,000 to 2,300 between mid-March and late-May.
