In 2020 America flipped upside down. It was a perfectly engineered push into darkness. And I don’t hesitate for a moment in declaring that I noticed the transformation so much more acutely than did many people. I can say that so confidently, because I have been in a type of lockdown for the past nearly thirty-five years. Many of my regular readers know that I stopped watching tv in 1987. Oh sure, I will occasionally catch a DVD movie or a YouTube clip on a large monitor. Nevertheless, I haven’t watched a cable or satellite or open broadcast network program...

This week President Biden fell three times on the stairs leading up to Air Force One (AF1). White House deputy press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre blamed “climate change. Scientists have been warning that our failure to take climate change seriously would have serious consequences. Well, the nearly gale force winds that brought the President to his knees and almost knocked me down are a manifestation of the kind of threat we face.” White House communications director Kate Bedingfield added, “I know folks have seen that President Biden slipped on his way up the stairs to AF1, but I’m happy to report...

Deception in any war or battle is one of the greatest tools of any military commander. One of the keys to Japan’s success in the Pearl Harbor attack was convincing the American government that they had not changed their strategy of a defensive posture, a very Sun Tzu tactic. When the Japanese did attack Pearl Harbor, the Japanese carriers arrived from the Northwest, while our forces were looking to the Southwest. When the newly operational radar station at Opana Point in Oahu detected a large group of planes arriving from the Northwest, an officer decided it was a squadron of...

SAN ANTONIO -- NCAA basketball administrators apologized to the women's basketball players and coaches after inequities between the men's and women's tournament went viral on social media and vowed to do better.

Supreme Court Judge Rules New York Times Used ‘Deceptive Disinformation’ To Smear Project Veritas ​ A New York Supreme Court Judge last week excoriated the New York Times used “reckless disregard” and “acted with actual malice” when two of their reporters deceptively presented opinions as fact in several articles denigrating whistleblower organization Project Veritas. ​ What the Times did, as you’ll see below, is similar to countless hit-pieces against Zero Hedge and others; using broad, unsupported brush strokes to slander their ideological opponents. We can only hope this sets new precedent for future defamation cases. * * * As The...

Never Forget: Everything the Democrats do is for power. Everything they do is a step toward America’s destruction. The Biden border crisis is a well-planned and orchestrated program to reshape the political landscape in America forever. Joe Biden and his handlers are considering flying the illegal aliens surging the border to states near the Canadian border on the taxpayer dime. That way they hope to eventually move these states to the blue column by destroying their economies and making their citizens reliant on the crumbs of their government overlords. Just to let you know how bad things are on the...

The paranoia overflowed from this self-described “professional Black person” on St. Patrick’s Day. Young posted a piece titled “Whiteness Is a Pandemic.” This was not a joke. It began: “Whiteness is a public health crisis. It shortens life expectancies, it pollutes air, it constricts equilibrium, it devastates forests, it melts ice caps, it sparks (and funds) wars, it flattens dialects, it infests consciousnesses, and it kills people—white people and people who are not white, my mom included. There will be people who die, in 2050, because of white supremacy-induced decisions from 1850.” This article ended the same way: "White supremacy...

Denmark has proposed countering the formation of parallel societies by limiting the number of non-Western residents in neighbourhoods to no more than 30 per cent. The proposal aims to have no residential area in the country have a population of more than 30 per cent non-Western migrants within the next decade, with Interior and Housing Minister Kaare Dybvad Bek stating the move is to counter ghettoisation. “We have the next ten years to strike a balance in our integration policy and the way we live and live together,” Dybvad said and added, according to Danish broadcaster TV2: “Otherwise, I think...

VIDEOWriter's block was definitely the greatest crises of my life. In fact, I suffered from it so horribly that it almost killed me. Fortunately, over a four year period of trial and error experimentation, I developed practical methods on how to easily overcome that ailment. I chronicled these methods in my 2012 guide, "How To Overcome Writer's Block In Less Than An Hour" which is now available for FREE on Amazon Kindle until March 24. I wish I could make it permanently free but that is all the time Amazon will permit. If you don't suffer from writer's block or...

Thursday, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), the House Judiciary Committee ranking member, recounted some of the aspects of a hearing and Big Tech, where he questioned how the First Amendment applied in certain circumstances. Jordan explained much of what Democrats were doing in the beginning stages of this Congress had bypassed the committee process. “They’ve been taking bills around the Judiciary Committee straight to the floor, almost every piece of legislation that’s passed in the last three weeks, we had jurisdiction over but the full committee is yet to have a hearing,” he said. “We’ve said why not have a hearing...

Eight innocent people were murdered by a white man in Atlanta on Tuesday, six of which were Asian women. As if on cue, left-wing race-hustlers immediately jumped at the chance to blame the incident on “white supremacy.” These leftists saw the tragic situation as merely another opportunity to disparage America, which they believe to be an irredeemably racist country.

Conspiracy theorists and far-right white supremacist groups are “increasingly targeting critical infrastructure to incite fear, disrupt essential services, and cause economic damage with the United States and abroad." The warning, published in a New York Police Department intelligence report seen by The Intercept, comes after several attacks have already occurred. One of the most notable critical infrastructure attacks of the past few months was that of suicide bomber Anthony Quinn Warner, who blew himself up next to an AT&T facility. However, an FBI investigation said that the Christmas Day bombing appears to have been motivated by paranoia and conspiracy theories,...

Mike Rowe announced Friday that his hit series “Dirty Jobs” is coming back Discovery later this year. Making the comeback sweeter, the beloved host’s news was made public on his birthday. “As birthday presents go, this was a pretty good one,” Rowe wrote on Facebook Friday, captioning a Patheos post announcing the news. “I’ll let you all know how things progress,” he said. “We shot all week in Georgia and Florida. I’m pleased to report that everything still works, mostly. On the other hand, everything is sore…” Rowe tied the hit show’s comeback to the pandemic: as a celebration of...

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo threatened to brand political opponents with a comparison to 'child rapists', leaked audio confirms. Shocking audio of the exchange was released in a New York Times podcast, and comes as the Democratic governor faces whirlwind allegations of bullying and sexual harassment. Cuomo's office in February denied the child rapist remark, but a recording of his phone conversation with Working Families Party head Bill Lipton leaves no doubt about the remarks.

Somehow, they didn’t see it coming. Within weeks of Inauguration Day on Jan. 20, the Biden administration had reversed many of the most maligned Trump-era immigration policies, including deporting children seeking asylum who arrived alone at the U.S.-Mexico border and forcing migrants to wait in Mexico as they made their case to stay in the United States. ... Now officials are scrambling to build up capacity to care for some 14,000 migrants now in federal custody — and more likely on the way — and the administration finds itself on its heels in the face of criticism that it should...

Texas Governor Greg Abbott has called the border crisis a 'humanitarian disaster' as COVID cases surge among teens held in a hastily constructed federal holding facility for child migrants with no drinkable water. The detention center in Midland County, currently holding more than 400 youths, was opened on Sunday after federal officials converted a 'man camp' for oilfield workers to help handle a massive surge in illegal border crossings, including many unaccompanied minors. More than 10 percent of the camp's population has tested positive for COVID-19 and at least one child had to be hospitalized. And on Friday, Texas officials...

Depending on how and when you count, Japan’s Toyota is the world’s largest automaker. According to Wheels, Toyota and Volkswagen vie for the title of the world’s largest, with each taking the crown from the other as the market moves. That’s including Volkswagen’s inherent advantage of sporting 12 brands versus Toyota’s four. Audi, Lamborghini, Porsche, Bugatti, and Bentley are included in the Volkswagen brand family. GM, America’s largest automaker, is about half Toyota’s size thanks to its 2009 bankruptcy and restructuring. Toyota is actually a major car manufacturer in the United States; in 2016 it made about 81% of the...

It’s official – Australia has spoken! Pineapple does deserve its place on top of our pizzas. Thousands voted in delicious. and your local newspapers’ recent search to find the best local pizzerias in the country, and they also told us of their favourite toppings. While mozzarella was every state’s number one topping, pineapple was the next strongest performer after salami/pepperoni. Dig a little deeper and you find that pineapple made the top 10 toppings in every state apart from New South Wales. There, pineapple doesn’t even make the list. Perhaps this explains the media’s recent hating on pineapple on pizza...

I think, for several reasons lately – paramount among them are Covid-related issues – people are stressed, worried and afraid. It has even been stated that suicide, including among children, has increased. We have a new normal now, like it or not. Actually, for some, there are a few positive things and blessings to note in our new normal. For instance, some can now work from home, avoid the commute traffic, lessen distractions, stay inside out of bad weather, and dress more casually and comfortably at home than in an office. But there are many disadvantages of working from home,...
