Jeanine Áñez was detained in the early morning in her hometown of Trinidad and was flown to the capital, La Paz. She had earlier warned that officials were searching for her, terming it “abuse and persecution” in Twitter posts. The arrest of Áñez and warrants against numerous other former officials further worsened political tensions in a South American country already torn by a cascade of perceived wrongs suffered by both sides. Those include complaints that Morales had grown more authoritarian with nearly 13 years in office, that he illegally ran for a fourth reelection and then allegedly rigged the outcome,...

VIDEOIn a previous video, I showed you how to smoke a maple syrup corned beef (link below). In this video, I take that incredibly delicious smoked maple corned beef and make a delicious Reuben sandwich. Since most of you, like me (at least for now), probably don't have a Panini press, I show you how to make it without the aid of that press. One important thing I learned was don't put your sandwich back on the plate on which you placed the sliced corned beef without wiping it dry first in order to avoid sandwich soginess. The second sandwich...

It’s no secret that the Democrat Party has only one “principle,” namely the acquisition and maintenance of power by any means necessary. And if that means taking a position today that is the polar opposite of a position taken yesterday, so be it. That such intellectual dishonesty and ideological bankruptcy requires large dollops of hypocrisy to sustain it is also no secret. Yet sometimes that hypocrisy is so blatant, and what it produces is so disconnected from rational thinking, it deserves highlighting. This is one of those moments. On March 2, Texas and Mississippi decided that the time to end...

Canadian government now ordering parents to accept child’s decision to get sex-change procedures. Arrest warrant to be served on father this Tuesday for “illegally” discussing details of his daughter’s ordeal. Trial coming up in next month. Faces 5 years in prison. Few of us understand how truly evil and tyrannical public officials can become in their efforts to appease the LGBT movement’s unbridled obsession with pushing their agenda on children. Unfortunately, most people don’t contemplate that previously unimaginable excesses by the state (as writers like Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn warned us) are never too far away. The government of Canada has decided...

Far-Left City Of Evanston, IL Becomes First City In America To Give Reparations To Black Residents…But There’s a Catch According to the 2019 US Census– 16.5% of citizens living in Evanston, IL, are black. The far-left city is set to become the first city in America to dole out $10 million in reparations—but there’s a catch. Not every black Evanston resident will qualify for the $25K payout.

Joe Biden avoided talking to the American people longer than any president in the last 100 years. And when he finally did, it wasn't exactly worth waiting for. If you didn't watch the 23 minutes of this White House's revisionist history on the virus, count yourself lucky. It was an exercise in the dismal, partisan, hopeless rhetoric this administration was supposed to rise above. After more than 50 days of silence, all Joe Biden proved by coming out of the White House basement is that he's a sore and ungracious winner, who isn't above taking credit for the vaccine successes...

Brent Braaten of Halifax is now in possession of a taxidermic three-headed duckling and he has no idea why. It arrived in the mail last week in an unassuming cardboard box that sat on his table unopened for hours because he figured it was a Pilates ball he'd ordered online. It wasn't. "I tore away at the plastic and packaging and then one of the duckling's faces emerged and I immediately sort of jumped back," he told CBC Radio's Mainstreet. "When I gained the courage to go back to the box and dig a little bit further, I noticed it...

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) said in an interview this week he did not feel unsafe during the Jan. 6 Capitol riot but might have if Black Lives Matter protesters and far-left "antifa" activists had demonstrated there, setting off a new wave of criticism. “I’ve also been criticized because I made the comment on Jan. 6 – I never felt threatened, because I didn’t," Johnson said Thursday on "The Joe Pags Show," referencing the insurrection that unsuccessfully sought to halt the certification of the Electoral College results. "Even though those thousands of people were marching on the Capitol were trying to...

CNN anchor Don Lemon during Friday’s broadcast of his show “Tonight” accused Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) of “spewing blatant racism” while discussing the deadly Capitol riots during a radio interview. Lemon said, “What they are fighting for is trying to disenfranchise voters. Mainly people of color who voted for Joe Biden. There are more than 250 bills nationwide to roll back voter access. And it’s nothing but a blatant attempt by Republicans to claw their way back to power, all on a big lie about an election that was stolen because the election was not stolen. What they care about...

And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking unto Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul. 1 Samuel 18:1 Everything in America now is a lie. There was no dangerous virus just as there was no fair and true election so there is a fake President so there was a fake insurrection to justify the Iron Curtain around the Capitol. Everyone is walking around with their muzzles on while locked down in their houses simply to promote a charade to get...

On Friday’s broadcast of Fox News Radio’s “Fox Across America,” Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-NY) commented on the firestorm over New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo by stating that “it’s starting to look like the Democrats have got to throw it on sexual harassment because this nursing home scandal is just so bad.” Tenney said, “I will say that I do think a lot of what’s going on with the sexual harassment, it is starting to get worse-looking. At the beginning, I said, okay, due process, you’ve got to prove it. All that’s still true, no matter what. But it’s starting to...

Cuomo calls on Schneiderman to resign amid bombshell accusations Gov. Andrew Cuomo has asked Attorney General Eric Schneiderman to resign after being accused of abuse by multiple women in a bombshell new report Monday. Cuomo released a statement Monday night that said Schneiderman should step down “for the good of the office.” “No one is above the law, including New York’s top legal officer,” Cuomo said. “My personal opinion is that, given the damning pattern of facts and corroboration laid out in the article, I do not believe it is possible for Eric Schneiderman to continue to serve as Attorney...

There were key words and phrases President Joe Biden failed to use during Thursday’s primetime address marking the one-year anniversary of the Chinese coronavirus pandemic, including “China,” — the virus’s place of origin — and “Operation Warp Speed” — the partnership prompted by former President Trump’s administration that sped up the development and distribution of vaccines to fight the illness. Biden appeared to place blame on former President Trump nearly immediately, telling the American people, “A year ago, we were hit with a virus that was met with silence and spread unchecked, denials for days, weeks, then months.” Biden notably...
