COLUMBIA, SC (WSPA) — A hate crimes bill is moving through the South Carolina State House, some say it would exclude gay and transgender people from being protected. South Carolina is one of three states without a state hate crime law on the books. A panel of lawmakers made some changes to a bipartisan hate crime bill Thursday. Supporters said this will help get the legislation across the finish line in 2021. A House Judiciary subcommittee voted to remove protections for ‘gender’ and ‘sexual orientation’ from H.3620. Republican lawmakers said this would help make sure the bill passes in the...

So Gov. Cuomo looks to be headed for grope therapy sessions with Al Franken and Harvey Weinstein, while Harry and Meghan are giving whole new meaning to “royal pain in the ass.” Are they just competing for attention with a $1.9 trillion stimulus bill, which is beyond the imagination of the wildest central banker on a bender at an open bar. And no, I did not have Pepe LePew on my cancel culture Bingo card this week.

Barely a month ago, a 3D-printed house was listed for sale to the public for the first time in the U.S. Now, a small, 3D-printed community in Texas is following suit. Another, larger community in California is also in the works. In other words, 3D-printed real estate is taking off in a big way.

Most Americans still do not accept who these leftists are and what their objective is. The Democratic Party has been captured by revolutionary leftists. This process started in the 1970s and accelerated with Barack Hussein Obama being elected twice. The takeover is now complete with the brazenly stolen election of 2020, an event our "betters" demand we cease speaking of. These leftists can rightly be called revolutionary Marxists — or, if you prefer a softer term, progressives. Practically speaking, these descriptions are interchangeable. Most Americans still do not accept who these leftists are and what their objective is. This ignorance...

Few national policy issues have the long-term impact that immigration does. It determines our future: Quality of our schools, livability of our communities, solvency of our government, integrity of our civic culture, cohesion of our traditions and understandings, size of our carbon footprint, health of our infrastructure, equity in our labor force, the viability of the rule of law, and just about anything else of importance to the American people. Immigration levels determine whether we can achieve population stability, or race toward an unstoppable one billion by the end of the century.So, nothing is more heartbreaking than to watch critical...

Kamala Harris has zero ability to match her facial expressions to the context of her speech. – That is the only conclusion one can reach after watching a speech she delivered yesterday about the administration’s efforts related to COVID-19. She simply has no feel for the message she’s delivering, a common affliction among sociopathic narcissists. This person, whose political career began as the escort for powerful San Francisco Democrat Willie Brown, will soon become President of the United States, and there is nothing you or I can do about it.

It’s just the flu, bro. https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2021/mar/12/coronavirus-live-news-brazil-records-more-than-2000-deaths-for-second-day-eu-approves-jj-vaccine?page=with:block-604b0b9c8f08089f0d4aff3e Coronavirus news from around the world indicates that Italy is about to lockdown half the country. Things are looking much better here in Texas. I don’t wear a mask when I enter businesses, and neither does most other people. The only lunacy remaining here in Texas appears to be in schools and some churches. I think things are better in the USA compared to other countries because the people in other countries lack courage and conviction, relative to Americans. Who founded our country? - rebels and adventurous people who travelled across the ocean at...

To the People of Texas & all Americans in the world— Fellow citizens & compatriots—I am besieged, by a thousand or more of the Mexicans under Santa Anna. I have sustained a continual Bombardment & cannonade for 24 hours & have not lost a man. The enemy has demanded a surrender at discretion, otherwise, the garrison are to be put to the sword, if the fort is taken. I have answered the demand with a cannon shot, & our flag still waves proudly from the walls. I shall never surrender or retreat. – Col. William B. Travis at the Alamo,...

And don't get me started on H.R. 1, the ridiculously named "For the People" Act. Senate Democrats successfully rejected numerous Republican efforts to reshape the $1.9-trillion pandemic stimulus package so that more of the money goes to Americans most directly affected by the coronavirus. The bill passed as originally crafted by Democrats, with the vast majority of the aid going to their loyal constituents and sycophants, including hundreds of billions for K–12 education, colleges and universities, the National Endowment for the Arts, and "nonprofit" organizations such as Planned Parenthood. And there is a little something in the bill for convicted...

A writer hired to translate Amanda Gorman's poem "The Hill We Climb" into Catalan said he has been removed from the position by publisher Univers. Victor Obiols, whose previous work includes Catalan translations of William Shakespeare and Oscar Wilde, told CNN Thursday that the commission was initially approved by Gorman's representatives, but they later decided he wasn't right for the job.

One More to GoBy 2029, the Giant Magellan Telescope (GMT) in northern Chile will begin collecting its first light from the cosmos. As part of a new class of next-generation instruments known as “extremely large telescopes” (ELTs), the GMT will combine the power of sophisticated primary mirrors, flexible secondary mirrors, adaptive optics (AOs), and spectrometers to see further and with greater detail than any optical telescopes that came before.At the heart of the telescope are seven monolithic mirror segments, each measuring...

Sidney Powell says Kelly Loeffler’s young staffer (who was dating Gov. Kemp’s daughter) was MURDERED and was likely “vaporized” by thermite. WOW! (Video)

Do we have another COVID nursing home death scandal brewing? In New York, Gov. Andrew Cuomo is facing intense criticism and calls to resign for cooking the books in the states COVID nursing home death toll. He’s also facing scores of allegations of sexual misconduct from former aides and staffers. Top Democrats from the Empire State are calling for him to resign. So far, he’s refused to do so. The gears of impeachment are starting to turn in Albany, but there could be a COVID death toll scandal occurring in Michigan. Reporter Charlie LeDuff wanted to know the number of...

Nowhere is the evangelical zeal of liberals more clearly illustrated than in the Biden’s administration’s tying aid to Africa and other continents to the acceptance of the doctrines of leftist progressivism. For many decades, liberals have excoriated the nineteenth-century Christians’ global evangelistic outreach as a characteristic of colonialism. They have ridiculed what they termed the “White Man’s Burden.” But now they imitate what they have despised by taking their own messianic vision of “equality” to those they deem backwards and ignorant. If they are to have relief from poverty, hunger, disease, Africans must accept progressive dogma: abortion as a sacrament;...

I wrote my senators about the egregious H.R. 1 vote fraud legislation now heading for the Senate. Here's what I got back. When H.R. 1 (the For the People Act) passed the House, I sent emails to Virginia's supposedly moderate Democrat Virginia senators, Tim Kaine and Mark Warner, urging them to vote no. So far I have received a reply only from Senator Kaine. I expected little from either based on a previous response from Senator Warner regarding my thoughts about the equally egregious H.R. 5 Equality Act. Warner's empty and obviously automated email response follows: Dear Mr. Stansbury, Thank...

Unfortunately, many young Americans have learned history through the works of Howard Zinn. Zinn was a far-Left historian whose famous book, A People’s History of the United States, created a deeply flawed and highly deceptive picture of America’s past. But his themes of the oppressor against oppressed and clear moral dictates were highly appealing to many. For instance, Zinn turned the famous explored Christopher Columbus into a cartoonish boogeyman, a genocidal monster who laid the groundwork for exploitative capitalism in the New World. It should be no surprise that Columbus statues have been among the most targeted by statue-topplers and...

Critical Race Theory in the field of architecture? Where will it end? It's no secret that the Biden administration is imposing the race-based ideology called Critical Race Theory (CRT) on impressionable children (through government schools) and on federal institutions nationwide. Like other race-based theories — which can encompass everything from the eugenics of Francis Galton to the program of the National Socialist German Workers' Party of the Nazis and its persecution of Jews and other Untermenschen — CRT requires the imposition of politically defined penalties based on politically defined racial designations. What could possibly go wrong — especially when it...

In the final scene of the Hollywood neonoir Chinatown, released in 1974, a character says to the disappointed private detective, “Forget it Jake, its Chinatown.” This enigmatic line is perhaps a comment on the manipulation of a vital resource, water, the key to the story, but implicitly it is a pessimistic metaphor for failure, for inability to change things, that falsehoods, deceit, and corruption would persist, that the truth might not be found, and that it’s futile to try to fix the problem. The latest Hollywood production, the highly touted interview by Oprah Winfrey, not as skillfully directed as the...
