The U.S. Military will now focus on what really matters with enemies abroad wanting to take us out — LGBTQ rights. This is as China, Iran, and Russia are making fools of the administration and the so-called President Joe. When we are conquered by our enemies, we can rejoice knowing we will have the most diverse POWs. The Biden Secretary of Defense, Lloyd Austin, is certifiable and is now pushing LGBTQ rights around the world. Why doesn’t he mind his own business? That would be a good idea. According to The Daily Caller, the Department of Defense (DOD) was told...

Climate pseudo-scientist Michael Mann is litigious, but his track record is poor. Nearly nine years ago, he sued National Review, Mark Steyn and the Competitive Enterprise Institute over a post that Mark did at The Corner, which read in part: Michael Mann was the man behind the fraudulent climate-change “hockey-stick” graph, the very ringmaster of the tree-ring circus. And, when the East Anglia emails came out, Penn State felt obliged to “investigate” Professor Mann. Graham Spanier, the Penn State president forced to resign over Sandusky, was the same cove who investigated Mann. And, as with Sandusky and Paterno, the college...

A volcano has erupted in Iceland about 40km (25 miles) from the capital Reykjavik, the Icelandic meteorological office has said, as a red cloud lit up the night sky and a no-fly zone was established in the area. “Volcanic eruption has begun in Fagradalsfjall,” it said in a tweet on Friday night, referring to a mountain located about 30km south-west of the capital. Police and coastguard officials raced to the scene late on Friday and the public has been advised to stay away from the area.

Stolen elections have consequences. Biden and Harris traveled to Georgia to talk about the ongoing threats and violence against the Asian-American community in the wake of shootings at massage parlors that left several Asian women dead. Kamala Harris trashed America as a racist and xenophobic country during a speech in Georgia on Friday.

Laila Mickelwait doesn’t disguise her ultimate ambition – to bring down one of the world’s most successful adult entertainment sites, Pornhub, which has more monthly visitors than Netflix and generates annual revenues approaching $500 million. She hasn’t succeeded yet. But, against all odds, it looks like she’s winning. This week, 70 Senators and MPs in Canada – where Pornhub is headquartered – wrote an open letter calling on police to launch a criminal investigation into its parent company, MindGeek. They were responding to evidence presented to a parliamentary committee which heard that MindGeek has “regularly made available content featuring child...

With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, experts within the higher education policy space were projecting that four-year colleges could face a loss of up to 20 percent in fall enrollment. While these predictions never materialized, the political infatuation with college enrollment figures is not a new phenomenon. Barack Obama proclaimed the orthodox view of college in 2009: Sending every young person to college is necessary to both promote equity and maintain US competitiveness in the world. Under this view, more federal investment to push high school graduates into college is a “human capital investment” that leads to higher lifetime...

But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him. After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.(Matthew 6:6-9)In Jesus’ teaching on...

I was at a meeting once where someone mentioned that people will argue about the silliest things, even something as simple as where you can get the best pizza. My mind screamed, “Hey, wait a minute, that is a legitimate subject to debate!” You could argue about thick crust, thin crust, toppings, sauce, dine-in, take out, bake-at-home, cut in squares, cut in triangles— the list goes on. We pizza-eaters are very opinionated. Since pizza wasn’t the reason for the meeting and since I already know where to buy the best pizza, I politely kept my thoughts to myself. Young people...

Cosmonaut Sergey Kud-Sverchkov and NASA astronaut Kate Rubins were also aboard the spaceship. Ryzhikov, a 46-year-old former Russian Air Force fighter pilot, flew the Soyuz spacecraft away from the Rassvet module. After backing away to a distance of about 130 feet (40 meters), Ryzhikov performed a flyaround maneuver around the rear side of the space station to reach a position above the complex around. The commander then guided the Soyuz spacecraft to a manual docking with the Poisk module on the upper part, or space-facing side, of the space station’s Russian segment. Docking occurred at for 1:12 p.m. EDT (1712...

An eighth woman has come forward with accusations of sexual harassment against New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, reports The New York Times. Alyssa McGrath, 33, a current aide who works for Cuomo, said the governor once looked down here shirt and told her she was “beautiful” in Italian. She said he also engaged in flirtatious behavior. McGrath is the first current aide to speak in public about the allegations. Another current female aide, McGrath’s co-worker, says Cuomo groped her in the governor’s residence. The Times Union of Albany reported that the woman, who it did not name, was alone with...

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Sen. Rand Paul is not backing down from his argument that people with immunity to COVID-19 should not have to wear masks in public. Paul appeared at the Galt House and was in Louisville one day after clashing with infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci during a Senate hearing over the science of masks. [cut] "If Dr. Fauci comes up with evidence that shows me that some new variant is here and thousands of people are dying and in the hospital, and the hospitals are overrun with people who have already had it or been vaccinated,...

FLASHBACK -> Biden mocks Trump's ramp walk at West Point and claims he's stronger: "Look at how he steps and look at how I step. Watch how I run up ramps and he stumbles down ramps. Come on."

Conservatives must get beyond their heartfelt belief that electing fellow conservatives is sufficient to restore republican free government. Electing only Godly, virtuous people to office is of course the ideal. While no republic can survive a government of crooks, it is unreasonable to expect all angelic politicians any more than our society at large was ever composed entirely of angels either. Our constitutional Framers knew this, that men at large were neither entirely good nor bad. Family, society, churches, and even government institutions of the founding era openly promoted the Christian ideal. Still, society had its share of criminals and...

A Michigan restaurant owner was arrested after she disregarded state Covid-19 protocols and ignored a court order, the state's top prosecutor said Friday. Marlena Pavlos-Hackney, 55, of Holland, was taken into custody by Michigan State Police about 5:45 a.m. EDT, according to a statement from Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel. Pavlos-Hackney, the owner of Marlena's Bistro and Pizzeria, had been given until Thursday to turn herself in after a warrant was issued for her arrest, Nessel said. “This owner has continued to willfully violate the state’s food laws, public health orders and the order of the court — a dangerous...

Oral Roberts, with its modest 16-10 record and 15th seed in the South Region, stunned No. 2 seeded Ohio State 75-72 in overtime Friday in West Lafayette, Indiana. It was Oral Roberts’ first NCAA Tournament victory since 1974 and sixth consecutive win this season. They are the ninth No. 15 seed ever to bea

Did you know that Joe Rogan who supported Bernie Sanders for president is the host of a "right-wing" show? Yes, and anybody who appears on Rogan's show, now defined as "right-wing," is suspect and worthy of being cancel cultured out of any participation in the Democrat electoral process. Such was the case with New York City mayoral and former presidential candidate Andrew Yang. Even though he is a noted supporter of Universal Basic Income which would be considered a leftist and even socialist idea, he is to be canceled out of political consideration according to Politico reporters Tina Nguyen and...

Explanation: Stars fill this infrared view, spanning 4 light-years across the center of the Lagoon Nebula. Visible light images show the glowing gas and obscuring dust clouds that dominate the scene. But this infrared image, constructed from Hubble Space Telescope data, peers closer to the heart of the active star-forming region revealing newborn stars scattered within, against a crowded field of background stars toward the center of our Milky Way galaxy. This tumultuous stellar nursery's central regions are sculpted and energized by the massive, young Herschel 36, seen as the bright star near center in the field of view. Herschel...

Dozens of young White House staffers have been suspended, asked to resign, or placed in a remote work program due to past marijuana use, frustrating staffers who were pleased by initial indications from the Biden administration that recreational use of cannabis would not be immediately disqualifying for would-be personnel, according to three people familiar with the situation. The policy has even affected staffers whose marijuana use was exclusive to one of the 14 states—and the District of Columbia—where cannabis is legal. Sources familiar with the matter also said a number of young staffers were either put on probation or canned...

Twitter suspends Marjorie Taylor Greene as Democrats push to expel her from Congress Twitter has once again suspended the account of Marjorie Taylor Greene, her office said Friday, as dozens of House Democrats move to expel the lawmaker from Congress. Greene said in a campaign message that Twitter suspended her account around 1 a.m. Friday “without explanation,” her office told CNBC. Greene’s account is locked for 12 hours, according to that campaign message. Greene’s office raised suspicions about the timing of the social media giant’s latest action, which came hours before Jimmy Gomez, D-Calif., introduced a resolution to expel Greene...
