It’s been a year. A whole calendar year since we faced the first lockdowns and traceable spread of COVID-19. Much of the year we stayed patient. Many of us were scared. Most of us sincerely worked hard to protect one another and ourselves. But not all of us hoped for a way out. In fact, on this one-year anniversary, there are some who obviously plan to make COVID-19 a way of life and a permanent fixture of American culture. We know what this virus is now. We understand whom it attacks. Many of us caught it and never knew we...

The number of National Instant background Check System (NICS) checks done in February of 2021 was another record for the month. The number of NICS done for firearms sales was the second-highest February ever. This shows the expansion of the NICS for uses other than firearms purchases is continuing. To find a close approximation of the number of NICS used for firearm sales in February, we add the number of handgun checks to long gun checks, to 2.5 x multiple checks, plus the other firearms checks.In February of 2021, there were about 1.35 million NICS checks done for firearm sales....

In a 1958 television interview, Aldous Huxley predicted the technological capability to bypass reason and manipulate behavior through subliminal means. Today, social media platforms and search engines use sophisticated artificial-intelligence algorithms to control the information we see. Story at-a-glance: Aldous Huxley wrote “Brave New World,” a nightmarish vision of a future society known as the “World State,” ruled by science and efficiency, where emotions and individuality have been eradicated and personal relationships are few. When Huxley wrote the book, optimism about technological advancements were high and there was widespread belief that technology would solve many of the world’s problems. “Brave...

Former first lady Michelle Obama spoke candidly in an interview published Wednesday about her struggles with low-grade depression during the Covid-19 pandemic and the challenges of 2020, encouraging Americans...

Joe Biden thinks it is "Neanderthal thinking" for Americans to take off their masks and get back to church, work, school, and play. One would think a U.S. president who refuses to hold a press conference, and, while in office barely over a month, has been caught numerous times struggling to put together coherent sentences would be careful about hurling around insults accusing others of "Neanderthal thinking." To be fair, Biden is likely suffering with dementia, and this is no laughing matter — for him or the country. No one dealing with such a struggle should be taunted with insults...

At the end of the day we had two more jurors and word that the Minnesota Supreme Court had denied review of the Court of Appeals decision ordering Judge Cahill to consider reinstatement of the third-degree murder charge under the Noor case. When the lawyers appear before him this morning at 8:00, they will take up the question of how to proceed on the third-degree charge with Judge Cahill. My understanding (partial guess) is that the third-degree charge is coming back into the case when the Court of Appeals decision becomes final and the trial court reacquires jurisdiction over the...

It looks as if we're being pushed inexorably towards vaccine passports, even though there's no reason to believe they'll make us safer. Although I know verification of health status is a reasonable condition of entry for countries, I am dubious about the fear of COVID as a cause for new conditions for international or domestic travel. SNIP Leaving faith aside, I worry that just like the other damaging restrictions various governments have implemented, tying travel to COVID vaccination status is too disruptive. People like me won’t be able to travel at all if this becomes the norm. As a consultant,...

Since before the November 2020 event masquerading as an election, conservative pundits have been theorizing that mentally deficient and rapidly declining Joe Biden is merely a placeholder for the eventual rise to power of Kamala Harris, the shrill Hillary Clinton wannabe who accrued political power on her back and was so unlikable that she was forced to drop out of the Democratic primaries two months before the Iowa caucuses without garnering a single delegate. The most popular theory is that the powers that be chose Biden as a safe, likable candidate as a contrast to the larger-than-life bombastic personality of...

Andy Ngo's new book tells the truth about this organization and why it should not be ignored. The mainstream media — silent on the Marxist ideology, violence, and militancy of groups like Antifa and Black Lives Matter (BLM) — deceptively reported that the protests they inflicted on over 200 U.S. cities in 2020 were “mostly peaceful.” It deceitfully transformed the mayhem into a “summer of love.” Widespread rioting, looting, arson, murder, assaults, and destruction of property and businesses went unreported. Such abject failure explains why polls consistently rank the media among America’s least trusted institutions. Given media complicity with radical...

It was one year ago today that President Donald Trump imposed that travel ban on most of Europe over the Wuhan Coronavirus, the official kickoff of the dominoes falling that bring us to the point we are at now. There were a few actions that happened before the European travel ban – the China travel ban, the formation of the Coronavirus Task Force, travel warnings, etc., but today is the anniversary of when those dominoes started to fall in quick succession. In the week that followed, the world was basically shut down. Emergencies were declared, borders were closed, economies halted,...

*snip* As a former teacher of history, I have taught many students about the worst totalitarian movements around the world. As I ponder what is happening to our society and public education, I see many similarities to Mao’s Cultural Revolution. In America’s Cultural Revolution, the radical racialists of BLM and Antifa are leading the charge. These two avowed Marxist organizations are full of indoctrinated and disgruntled youth, like the Red Guards of Mao’s China. The campaign of destruction in many American cities and harassment of people minding their own business led by BLM and Antifa, is comparable to the terror...

It’s weird that our elite betters of eliteness and betterness refuse to acknowledge that the emperor not only forgot to dress himself today but that he’s actively drooling. Check out President Asterisk trying to figure out who the Secretary of Defense is. Not that SecDef is an important job anymore or anything. His gig now is mostly to rid the ranks of extremists who don’t think men can change into women through the power of activists demanding everyone else pretend they can. But still, the president ought to, you know, know who he is. It would be nice to have...

Pray For the Peace of JerusalemLambs, Sheep, and Shepherds Matthew 25The Sheep and the Goats 31 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne. 32 All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left. 34 “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take...

Now we watch the next move(s); as with everything in Obama’s third-term, if you watch the ‘other hand’ you will find the play… and bookmark this. With Garland confirmed there will be multiple people and groups who supported President Trump targeted by the U.S. Department of Justice. The extremist Lawfare group is openly advocating for more political targeting; to wit Garland has stated his intent to continue weaponizing the DOJ where former AG Eric Holder left-off.

On a day when advocates for ex-felons could celebrate another big win, Desmond Meade was again denied a pardon by Gov. Ron DeSantis. DeSantis also would not expedite Meade’s clemency, saying he should go through the proper channels.

I just checked and it's true.. Bob Menendez is still the chairman of the foreign relations committee in the Senate! Do the Democrats have no shame? What happened to the ethics violations against him? I think some are still outstanding! He should definitely not be in charge of an important committee like this...
