BIDEN VOTER: "They're dropping bombs in Syria​ right now—and those bombs are kinda expensive​ for a dude who owes me $2,000."Don’t worry Dude, help is on the way! You’ll be getting that “Covid relief” check Uncle Joe promised you any day now which, along with your extended unemployment check, will allow you to fish right on through the summer. And all you have to do is give Pops his customary cut.C’mon man! All I want is my customary “little taste”How cool is that? That’s how all Democrat scams work. This well-timed solicitation letter that MOTUS received in the overnight email...

President Joe Biden gave his first primetime address to the nation on Thursday night, in which he said that “if we do our part,” then “there’s a good chance” Americans will be able to have “small” events by Independence Day. “This doesn’t mean large events with lots of people together,” Biden said.

While David French and those like him are free to adopt every line the CDC manifests, there is room for well-informed and well-meaning Christians to disagree about COVID vaccinations. It’s surprising how unsurprising it is when white evangelical David French takes an opportunity to swing at other white evangelicals, as he did once again over the weekend with an article asking why “so many white Evangelicals [are] reluctant to consider the health of their community.”The article is about vaccines, of course, but it’s mostly about how Christians who are even hesitant to receive one have a “spiritual problem.” Before anyone...

Tampa Bay Buccaneers players have been enjoying the offseason since their dominant Super Bowl win last month, but wide receiver Jaydon Mickens has found himself in some legal trouble. Mickens was arrested last week in Los Angeles on a gun-related charge. According to TMZ, the 26-year-old was pulled over on March 5 when police noticed his window tints were too dark. A gun was found inside the car during the traffic stop. Mickens was arrested and charged with having a concealed weapon, which is a felony. The gun was not on his person at the time. The Buccaneers said they...

Image from radical gunnuttery, scaled by Dean WeingartenConstitutional Carry has become a mainstream movement. The term means a states laws concerning the carry of weapons approximates the state of the law when the Second Amendment was ratified in 1791. At that time, no permits were required to carry weapons, openly or concealed. 17 states have restored a reasonable facsimile of Constitutional Carry. Vermont always had Constitutional Carry. Serious efforts are underway to restore Constitutional Carry in three other states in 2021, with various states of possibility in in twenty other states. Given the coming predominance of Constitutional Carry, what...

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., has renewed interest in his ongoing feud with Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, who he singled out as “a big part” of the “mistake” Democrats made in trying to work with moderate Republicans in 2009. “We made a big mistake in 2009 and ’10 — Susan Collins was a big part of that mistake. We cut back on the stimulus dramatically and we stayed in recession for five years,” Schumer said on CNN on Tuesday, referring to the economic stimulus package that Democrats pushed in response to the Great Recession. On Wednesday, in remarks to...

Hey hey kids! Time for more silliness, and...you know...the thing!----------------------A pizza and an apple were thrown down from the 15th floor, which will reach the ground first? The pizza will, it's fast food!---------------------------------------------The devout cowboy lost his favorite Bible while he was mending fences out on the range. Three weeks later, a sheep walked up to him carrying the Bible in its mouth. The cowboy couldn't believe his eyes. He took the precious book out of the sheep's mouth, raised his eyes heavenward and exclaimed, "It's a miracle!" "Not really," said the sheep.

A fun night out with friends can quickly turn into a morning headache, and people usually turn to food for remedy. A recent survey says the average Californian spends almost $1,000 a year on hangover food. According to Solutions-Recovery.com, the average California drinker spends $958 per year on hangover comfort food, compared to a national average of $947, which works out to $80 per month. Take a look at the national results HERE. Alaska scored highest in the survey, with the average Alaskan spending more than $3,024 a year on hangover comfort food. New Hampshire scored the lowest, with the...

Note: If you’re waiting for an order from your Sock Puppet-in-Chief to tell you it’s ok to celebrate Independence Day, you clearly don’t understand what “independence” means. – That of course would apply to pretty much all Democrats these days, as they no doubt sat hypnotized before their TV sets and watched China Joe Biden read a text written by his handlers and tell them it will all be ok by the 4th of July and they’ll be able to hold “small gatherings” then if we all just behave like good little liberal automatons until then. …and hey, if you...

It’s just the flu, bro. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/ Official, and by official I mean greatly exaggerated, Coronavirus case counts and death counts are plummeting. This is an important time. With cases and deaths falling, we could obey as politicians decide to give us tokens of our freedom back to us, but still retain the bulk of the lockdown rules. They are watching us and they only want to give us back the level of freedom back that we demand, and definitely no more. The founding of our nation was based on achieving freedom and liberty but to the modern politician all that...

The PRO Act would sharply limit who is legally allowed to work independently or as a freelance worker, destroying hundreds of thousands of jobs during a recession. When California enacted a first-of-its-kind law that proved to be so devastating that thousands of people and dozens of professions had to seek special exemptions within its first year, you’d think federal lawmakers would think twice before bringing it nationwide. But not House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. On Tuesday, she moved full steam ahead in passing the Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act, a bill that would do to the entire nation what...

If a child doesn't have to die to save grandma from coronavirus, why would we ever let that child die? A heartbreaking longread from ProPublica challenges the nation.One year ago, when lockdowns began, Americans were told we had to make a terrible choice akin to the climax of the superhero movies in which a villain threatens two things the hero loves, forcing him to choose which to save and which to sacrifice. We were told that millions of Americans were going to die from a Chinese supervirus, and the only way to reduce that death toll from inflating even higher...

Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina took issue with a proposed $5 billion fund for debt repayment that would benefit historically disenfranchised Black farmers in the $1.9 trillion coronavirus stimulus package, calling it “reparations.” if you’re socially disadvantaged, if you’re African American, some other minority. But if you’re [a] white person, if you’re a white woman, no forgiveness.

Pray For the Peace of JerusalemLambs, Sheep, and Shepherds Psalm 28Of David. 1 To you, Lord, I call; you are my Rock, do not turn a deaf ear to me. For if you remain silent, I will be like those who go down to the pit. 2 Hear my cry for mercy as I call to you for help, as I lift up my hands toward your Most Holy Place. 3 Do not drag me away with the wicked, with those who do evil, who speak cordially with their neighbors but harbor malice in their hearts. 4 Repay them for...

The Biden administration will not investigate the abortion giant’s transgender profiteering. State departments of health, medical boards, attorneys general, and legislatures must fill the void.As Democrats in the Senate prepare to advance the so-called Equality Act to enshrine transgenderism everywhere possible, whistleblowers have come forward to illustrate the horrifying realities of transgender “medicine.”Their stories also offer a peek into a dark network of institutions hoping to reap massive amounts of taxpayer and insurance company dollars sterilizing their victims, giving them heart attacks, and chopping off fully functioning body parts, all for financial and political gain. Many of the victims of...

President Biden speaks frequently and presumably with sincerity about his goal of national unity. His comparative invisibility, somnolent manner, and reluctance to interact even with the docile national political media (which conducted his campaign for him last year), assure a cooler temperature and calmer political atmosphere than was possible in the pyrotechnics and abrasions of the Trump era. This phenomenon is reflected in the heavy declines in viewership of the news channels-over 40 percent on CNN, similar drops on MSNBC, and rather less than that on Fox News. Trump was the great newsmaker, both for those who loved and those...

Democrats want as many Americans out of work and dependent on the government as possible — and one of their newest legislative pushes makes that an indisputable fact. Although President Joe Biden has been doing his best to depress the American economy by killing thousands of union jobs and plunging America into generational debt, it’s all a pittance compared to what the Protecting the Right to Organize Act of 2021 could do if signed into law. The PRO Act, passed by the House of Representatives last month and endorsed by Biden this week, could obliterate as many as 57 million...

The big headline of Kayhan Daily on Saturday, February 27, 2021 read: "73% of the People Support the Parliament's Law to Lift the Sanctions." This is a quote from the University of Maryland's poll survey on the same page. Kayhan Daily (Ali Khamenei's Pravda) cites Western institutions only in cases where the issue is 100% in favor of the Iranian regime in terms of propaganda. The question is why such polls are not conducted by domestic centers and the credit of their research does not reach domestic institutions? Also, why does the University of Maryland conduct polls only when negotiations...

At the time Columbus discovered the New World , the great difference between the main Mexica god and the European God was that the European God would kill you for not being good, and the Mexica god would kill you for not being bad. Even when we had mischievous gods, we were better than the Mexica, the most dominant tribe of the Aztecs. Going all the way back to the Romans, God might throw an army under the bus because a general broke his word, and the Jews, the Muslims, and the Christians all believed that God is better than...
