Eager to obtain vindication for the pre-election falsehood they spread about the Hunter Biden story, journalists falsely claim that the CIA blamed Russia for it. Journalists with the largest and most influential media outlets disseminated an outright and quite significant lie on Tuesday to hundreds of thousands of people, if not millions, on Twitter. While some of them were shamed into acknowledging the falsity of their claim, many refused to, causing it to continue to spread up until this very moment. It is well worth examining how they function because this is how they deceive the public again and again,...

It’s just the flu, bro. Today is the one year anniversary of “It’s just the flu, bro”. Let’s summarize all of the important ways that we were right over the past year: 1.the Coronavirus is approximately the same in terms, of lethality, as the flu. 2.the government shouldn’t strip away liberties in order to make people be/feel safe from germs 3.kids aren’t affected by coronavirus (don’t discuss extremely rare exceptions as that would be stupid) 4.vitamin D and zinc will boost your immune system and provide some level of protection against coronavirus, or any virus 5.each person is responsible for...

Biden has threatened to hike the corporate income tax to either 35% (repealing the entire Trump tax cut as he has promised repeatedly during the campaign) or to 28% (which his staff discusses.) Either would bring the U.S. business tax higher than China’s 25% corporate income tax rate. When Biden was Obama’s Vice President the U.S. tax rate was 35%, ten percentage points higher than China’s 25%. In 2014 more than $360 billion in U.S. corporate assets announced loans to invert, to leave the U.S. Our higher corporate rate and worldwide -- rather than territorial -- tax system made the...

A Texas man wanted by the police was stopped by the U.S. Secret Service and arrested Wednesday afternoon near the Washington residence of Vice President Kamala Harris, authorities said. Police found a rifle, a large amount of ammunition and several gun clips in a car belonging to the man, 31-year-old Paul Murray of San Antonio, after he told them it was parked in a garage several miles away near the Washington Convention Center, according to NBC 4. Also found in that black Chevy Impala was what police called a large capacity ammunition feeding device. A police report specified that Murray...

Estimates are that around 15 million illegal aliens reside in the U.S. They’re obviously getting by. This only enhances the bungee effect and encourages potential migrants to jump the legal entry lines. Over the past couple of years, Joe and the Dems have tightened that bungee cord to a dangerous level. On June 27, 2019, Joe & Co. raised their hands and signaled to the world that, should one of them become President, that person would provide free healthcare to illegal migrants. In their party platform, Democrats announced they would stop immigration enforcement activities broadly across many sectors and would...

After a piece I wrote about my Democrat friends, one of my readers asked the question, “How in the world can you stomach friends that voted to ruin our country?” It’s a really good question. My Democrat friends did in fact vote to destroy the freedom and prosperity which we all enjoy. The short answer is that I believe there’s salvation, even for those who’ve made egregious mistakes -- as we all have. The long answer is that we need them. Somewhere around half of the voters (regardless of what you think of the election) chose the socialist alternative that...

Tehran, Iran – Iran has started human trials of Fakhravac, the third domestically developed COVID-19 vaccine, named after nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, who was assassinated in late November near Tehran in an attack Tehran blamed on its regional foe Israel. Authorities at the time had said a team under Fakhrizadeh was working on a vaccine against the coronavirus, which has killed 61,000 people since it broke out in the country in February 2020. Fakhravac, previously referred to as the “Martyr Fakhrizadeh” vaccine, was unveiled during a ceremony broadcast live on state television. Defence Minister Amir Hatami, Health Minister Saeed Namaki,...

It’s been about a year since America’s senior citizens --by virtue of our vulnerability – unwittingly became the pandemic’s protected overaged poster children. Having recently received my second shot of COVID vaccine, I’m now looking forward to a more fulfilling social existence. But “Guess what?” as clueless Comrade Joe likes to say. In a dreary speech, predictably praised by a left-wing media maven as “channeling our collective sorrow,” Biden held forth the hope that if Americans managed to obey the COVID protocols in the months ahead, lockdowns might be over in time for us to take part in a small...

Did you see the final total of people who watched Oprah’s interview with Harry and Meghan earlier this month on CBS? Just over 17 million domestically. Millions more globally. The only number that can compare this time of year on network television is the NCAA basketball tournament final. Still, many reading this are likely grousing, “Who cares about them! I didn’t watch it and I don’t care about the royal family. This is America! We broke away from that!” Fair enough, but why do so many of your fellow Americans watch anyway? The answer is found in the two words...

People throw around the word “hero” pretty liberally these days, but rarely is it used so accurately than now as I apply it to myself for having forced myself to watch the final episode of The Bachelor on ABC Monday night. And I did it without alcohol or having lost a bet, I did it to see what all the woke-whining hype was about because the woman who “won” attended an antebellum-themed party in 2018 and is white while the bachelor is black. Needless to say, it was dumber than I could have possibly imagined. Please, no applause (just send...

Here’s a fun fact: Tucker Carlson, over whom a bunch of senior military officers tossed 240 years of non-partisanship out the window in order to chide for pointing out their myriad failures, has won just as many wars as our generals have during the last twenty years. He has also lost fewer wars.So, basically, Tucker Carlson – who they lambaste for being like the other ~92 percent of Americans who were never in uniform – would have done less damage running our formerly indomitable military than the perfumed princes who run it now. Yet these generals and senior NCOs who...

A search warrant was executed Wednesday morning at the home of former Florida Sen. Frank Artiles as part of the Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office’s investigation into whether he illegally funded a planted candidate in the November election... Investigators are looking for evidence of Artiles’ possible communication with Alex Rodriguez... Alex Rodriguez, a deep-in-debt machinery rep in Boca Raton, falsified his address on his campaign filing form, and that he didn’t fundraise or campaign for the position he was on the ballot for. He also lied to Local 10 News in November when we asked him to explain his curious no-show,...

A March 16 letter signed by 50 House Democrats urges President Joe Biden to reduce the Pentagon’s budget to pay for other activities. The letter is intended to influence the president’s budget proposal for fiscal year 2022 which the administration is expected to submit to Congress in early May. According to media reports, Biden intends to request about $704 billion for the Defense Department, which is close to what the Pentagon got in 2021. The lawmakers asked Biden to “re-evaluate our spending priorities as a nation. That re-evaluation should begin with the Department of Defense. Hundreds of billions of dollars...

A Bible prophecy shows that the radical left’s efforts to seize control at any cost could seriously backfire. Last Monday, retired Army Lt. Gen. Russel Honoré presented a list of recommendations to the House of Representatives regarding security in Washington, D.C. He wants more police officers, stronger intelligence gathering, an increased National Guard presence, the stockpiling of portable fencing for around the Capitol, more bomb-sniffing dogs, and a return to horse patrols. All this to prevent another “insurrection” such as what happened at the Capitol on January 6. General Honoré was asked to perform this security review by House Speaker...

They have been quick to leave the way I marked out for them; they have made themselves a calf of molten metal and have worshipped it and offered it sacrifice. “Here is your God, Israel,” they have cried “who brought you up from the land of Egypt!”’ the Lord said to Moses, ‘I can see how headstrong these...

It is said time and tide wait for no man. Technological advancements have ensured there are possible alternatives for everything but nature waits for no man. Disasters, natural or otherwise can happen anytime. In a world riddled with uncertainty, how do you ensure you keep your wits about you to survive. Food is the basic human need and it is important to have a survival food list so you’re prepared when emergencies hit. History has shown us that whether it is a hurricane, an earthquake, floods, or any other natural calamity, or even a war, the first thing people lose...
