President Joe Biden announced on March 24 that Vice President Kamala Harris will be tapped to lead the administration’s efforts in stemming the influx of illegal immigrants at the U.S.–Mexico border. Biden told reporters that Harris was the “most qualified” person to handle the task. It comes as the administration faces growing pressure over how it’s handling a surge at the border that started after Biden was sworn into office. “This increase has been consequential, but the vice president has agreed … to lead our diplomatic effort and to work with those nations to accept the returnees and enhance migration...

Joe Biden invited Megan Rapinoe, the pink-haired, America-hating women’s soccer player to the White House to complain about the “pay gap” affecting women.

Vice President Harris is being slammed over her decision to appear with former President Clinton for a Clinton Foundation event focused on empowering women amid the Covid-19 pandemic, given Clinton’s alleged history of sexual abuse. The Clinton Global Initiative event will take place on Friday and will be hosted by Howard University, of which Harris is an alumni. A press release promotes it as “a one-on-one conversation” between Harris and Clinton “on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on women, and empowering women and girls in the U.S. and around the world.”

There are some things that are so predictable. Arguably first among them are the instant knee jerk responses of the left seeking to score cheap political points following a tragedy, facts be damned. On several occasions I have written here that it's better to be right than be first, especially when being first makes one out to be an ass. Boy have they made asses of themselves this time. The Boulder shooter has been identified as Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa, Syrian born Muslim. He is said to be a loner, anti-social and paranoid. Alissa's Facebook page, the authenticity of which...

The announcement that Donald Trump will establish his own platform in social media has rocked the political world. A mass exodus from Twitter and Facebook to a new Trump platform could weaken those liberal monopolies, and some in Big Tech are hastily considering whether to invite him back.Meanwhile, Trump’s statements continue to dominate the news more than Biden’s comments do. Almost daily Trump uses his near-perfect track record of successful endorsements to back a new challenger to an incumbent in the 2022 elections.On Monday Trump endorsed the primary challenge by Rep. Jody Hice (R-GA) to the turncoat Georgia Secretary of...

If this is accepted for review by the Supreme Court -- and the Supreme Court has shown itself to be extraordinarily cowardly in ducking ruling on big-ticket items -- we will find out if we really have a "conservative" court, or if the lawyers recommended by the Professional Class Karens of the Federalist Society are just from the Corporate Wing of the Uniparty. I suspect the latter. --- The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a Hawaii gun regulation, ruling Wednesday that states can restrict the right to openly carry a firearm in public. The 7-4 decision said restrictions on...

In 1928, HG Wells penned a book entitled, The Open Conspiracy: Blue Print for World Revolution. The similarities between what we find contained in Wells's book which was written almost 100 years ago, to what has transpired since, and to that which we can observe unfolding before us today, are uncanny. The conclusion of his ideas is the call for the overthrow of the present world order, and the creation of a world-state, which, we can observe playing out in our world today. Not only so, but Wells laid out a very specific plan to bring about the destruction of...

“I’m not familiar with that claim. It doesn’t sound like it’s backed up by a lot of evidence. If you have evidence or specifics, I’m happy to discuss it further,” Psaki said at her daily press briefing in response to a question from The Post.

Explanation: Why does so much of Jupiter's lightning occur near its poles? Similar to Earth, Jupiter experiences both aurorae and lightning. Different from Earth, though, Jupiter's lightning usually occurs near its poles -- while much of Earth's lightning occurs near its equator. To help understand the difference, NASA's Juno spacecraft, currently orbiting Jupiter, has observed numerous aurora and lightning events. The featured image, taken by Juno's Stellar Reference Unit camera on 2018 May 24, shows Jupiter's northern auroral oval and several bright dots and streaks. An eye-catching event is shown in the right inset image -- which is a flash...

The Arkansas lawmaker is introducing a bill to protect the military from critical race theory indoctrination.Tomorrow, Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton will introduce legislation to ban critical race theory trainings in the United States military. The bill is concise, and desperately needed. As I have warned since last year, critical race theory and related ideologies have begun to make their way into the armed services, with some branches promoting “white fragility” book clubs and the West Point military academy teaching CRT as part of a leadership program.The premise of Senator Cotton’s legislation is that the military should encourage its members to...

Krispy Kreme's promotion might be cute, and it's certainly good marketing, but it's deeply irresponsible.Starting this week, customers with a COVID vaccination card showing they have received at least one dose of the two-shot vaccines from Pfizer or Moderna, or one shot of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine may redeem a free Original Glazed doughnut.“Krispy Kreme also will continue to encourage everyone to share joy and take care of each other by launching ‘Be Sweet Weekend,’ offering guests who purchase any dozen an additional ‘Be Sweet Dozen’ to safely share with a friend or neighbor for just $1,” the company...

It appears Gov. Kristi Noem is hoping to use the goodwill she earned through her COVID courage to hide her cowardly and deceptive choices about transgender politics.It appears Gov. Kristi Noem is hoping to use the goodwill she earned through her COVID courage to hide her cowardly and deceptive choices about transgender politics. If “legal scholars” have told her these terrible things about the bill’s consequences “for many, many months,” why did she pledge to sign just two weeks ago?

Law enforcement sources say that Homeland Security is investigating monitoring movements of U.S. extremists and white supremacists. The Department of Homeland Security is considering monitoring the travel of domestic extremists and expanding its use of the No Fly List, law enforcement sources told POLITICO. The discussions are part of the Biden administration’s strategy of treating domestic terror as a national security threat, and not just a law enforcement problem. They're also part of broader conversations in government about how to use tools developed for the Global War on Terror to combat domestic extremism. And, if past is prologue, the approach...

On March 23, 1952, Venerable Pope Pius XII gave a radio address on the necessity of Catholics to properly form their own consciences and to provide for the proper Catholic education of the youth in matters of conscience. In that same address, he also cautioned of the dangers of an encroaching “new morality” which found the Church’s moral rules oppressive, rigid, and ultimately impossible to follow. We are now nearly 70 years from the broadcast of that radio address. When one looks at Western civilization in general and the state of the Catholic Church in the West in particular over...

In other words, the regime codifies and sacralizes Ruling Party conspiracy theories, while it pathologizes and criminalizes Ruled Party conspiracy theories, all as a means of controlling the narrative in our so-called “democracy.” For quite some time the loaded phrase “conspiracy theory” has enjoyed pride of place alongside the nebulous, catch-all phrase “hate speech” as a censorship predicate used to silence online speech. Since 1/6, however, the phrase’s use case has expanded from censorship predicate to a prized tool in the Globalist American Empire’s security state’s latest attempt to target Trump supporters as de facto domestic terrorists.Today, that rhetorical razorblade...

I just wanted to find out if others get frequent (daily) calls from self-described buyers of residential properties. I know where it comes from. These numerous “real estate courses” which which advertise on junk t.v. and radio spots make unrealistic promises of 6-figure income with little or no personal money invested. It’s a scam, but it’s amazing how many people fall for it and then begin hectoring home owners non-stop about selling their home, hoping to score on a distress sale. I know how to get out of it by just pricing my modest home in the millions, but would...
