Seemingly overnight, a large segment of America has gone insane. We’re not talking about the culture of paranoia and safety that has metastasized in the wake of COVID-19 hysteria. We’re talking about the ideological shift, particularly on cultural issues, that has occurred since the start of the Obama Administration. To pick an easy example, it would have been fairly uncontroversial even five years ago to say that men should not be allowed to compete in women’s sports, regardless of what they might subjectively “identify as.” And yet, this is now a subject contention across a number of sports, including mixed...

Joe Biden and his lost eyes Joe Biden got confused again on Wednesday during a meeting at the White House discussing the border crisis. As reported earlier by Biden lied about the border crisis on Wednesday and blamed Trump for the migrant surge. After lying about the migrant crisis, Joe Biden got confused again so his Chief of Staff, Ron Klain, told the press to leave the room. “Umm, now we’re going to get down to business here and, uh, Ron, who am I turning this over to?” Biden said to his Chief of Staff. But, it was even worse...

A high school theology teacher has been fired from her private Catholic high school for disputing the Black Lives Matter narrative with regards to St. George Floyd, the drug-addicted felon who died during a police encounter in Minneapolis, Minn. last year. Bishop Ready High School theology teacher Deborah DelPrince had responded to a student’s screen displaying a picture of low IQ sportsball chucker LeBron James wearing an “I Can’t Breathe” shirt during virtual class. “That’s not necessarily true, but it perpetuates a myth against police,” DelPrince said. “I’m not sure LeBron James is in the position to be disrespectful to...

A California Couple Found $10 Million In Gold Coins In Their Backyard A California couple who discovered a $10 million cache of hidden gold coins might not be so lucky after all. According to a published article, the coins may have been stolen from the United States Mint in 1900 and are thus government property.

According to the San Francisco Chronicle’s website–a search...

Idaho GOP Sen. Mike Crapo is stepping back from his initial show of support for the Democrats’ farmworker amnesty bill, which threatens America’s rural communities by giving employers a low-wage, no-rights foreign labor force for a wide variety of agriculture jobs. “Even though Senator Crapo has said he’ll work on a Senate version of the bill, we should add he won’t support the existing House-passed version,” Lindsay Northern, Crapo’s communications director, told Breitbart News. She continued: "Senator Crapo supports helping Idaho farm producers with problems they have under the existing system, such as concerns over liability and the fact dairy...

The “One-stop Shop for Kosher Groceries” A few days ago a Muslim Syrian immigrant to the United States walked into a Jewish Kosher grocery store in Boulder, Colorado, and shot up the place. Ten people are dead. The shooter is in custody.The individual arrested, Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa, is a Muslim and all ten victims were white. Alissa apparently has expressed pro-ISIS sympathies in the past. He has for many months complained about his belief that Muslim immigrants to the United States are subjected to discrimination. He is a staunch opponent of Donald Trump.

How Democrats cheat on elections from an insider. In the 80s I was in the right place in the right time and got hired by a Democrat politician. I went from an unpaid intern to running the office as well as being in charge of two district offices. So my boss was asked to carry a bill for our counties election office. The bill was simple....take dead people off of the voting rolls. Which meant less postage, less upkeep, cleaner voteror rolls and cheaper elections. Easy right. First we got a very nice letter asking us to drop the bill...

Culture plays a significant role when it comes to associating symbolic or hidden meanings with different colors. China is a country rich with heritage, and uses colors symbolically within every ceremony, festival, and ritual. Compared to Western culture, China has a different and more powerful scale of color symbolism. The Five Elements Theory (Metal, Fire, Water, Wood, and Air) play a very important role in influencing many of the Chinese customs and beliefs. The color theory is based on these five elements, and five of the most popular colors in China also correspond to these five elements. Black = water?...

Source: Townhall Media/Julio RosasWhen I heard Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas say last Sunday on "Meet the Press" that the southern border "is closed," it immediately brought to mind claims by Iraq's former information minister -- dubbed "Baghdad Bob" and "Comical Ali" (aka Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf) -- about Saddam Hussein's superior military forces. During the 2003 U.S.-led invasion of Iraq, al-Sahaf said with a straight face that U.S. forces were "not even (within) 100 miles (of Baghdad)," as TV images showed the truth. It also reminded me of statements by some reporters that last summer's riots were "mostly peaceful." Secretary...

While recent seven-day averages concerning COVID-19-related hospitalizations across the country have remained stable, health officials in Michigan have noted an “alarming” rise among unvaccinated individuals.

Ralph Northam signed the legislation a month after the Virginia General Assembly voted to strike down capital punishment in the state. Virginia became the 23rd state in the country to get rid of the death penalty. Additionally, there are three states - Oregon, California, and Pennsylvania - where a governor-issued moratorium on executions is in effect.

On Day 57, a timid-looking Secretary of State Antony Blinken “confronted” the CCP—flanked by a purple-haired staffer. China Bullies Biden’s Buddies. The U.S. and China held their first face-to-face meeting of the Biden presidency in Alaska on Thursday. Video of a tense exchange between U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and CCP foreign affairs chief Yang Jiechi went viral online. Blinken, flanked by a woman with purple hair, raised concerns about China’s aggression toward the U.S., and Yang responded by pointing out human rights “challenges” in the United States, “such as Black Lives Matter.” Blinken responded, “I have to tell...

You repeatedly promised that people making less than $400,000 a year would not pay a penny more in taxes under your presidency. However, your spokesman has acknowledged that isn’t true. Would you like to officially correct the record and expand upon that? At a CNN town hall, you falsely claimed there was no Covid vaccine before you came into office, even though you, yourself, were vaccinated under the Trump administration. What did you mean? Would you like to officially correct the record? In your recent national address, you said that “we need everyone to get vaccinated.” However, that’s contrary to...

A Thinking AlertCan you be sure you're not a flat-earther?Are you secretly a white supremacist? Do you unknowingly hold racist views deep within your heart? And—dig deep now—Do you believe the earth is flat?It's very likely that the number of flat-earthers in the United States is much higher than the number of white supremacists. The flat-earthers are certainly better organized. They hold meetings, conduct experiments, maintain web sites, and so on. But we don't require our politicians to regularly denounce flat-earthism. We don't make public policies designed to root out and re-educate suspected flat-earthers. HR departments don't hold employee seminars...

“Wherefore hear the word of the Lord, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem. Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves: Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste“ (Isaiah 28:14-16). The Hebrew...

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. ’I’m a member of the LGBTQ community with pink hair and where I come from, I could have only dreamed that I would be standing in the position I am today in the White House,’ Rapinoe said. "It doesn’t matter if you’re an electrician, an accountant, or part of the best damn soccer team in the world. The pay gap is real,’ Biden said thanking Rapinoe. Joe Biden completely ignored the biological differences between men and women....

DUXBURY, Mass. (AP) — A Massachusetts high school fired its successful football coach and hired an outside consultant Wednesday to assist an investigation into reports that the team used anti-Semitic language, including a mention of Auschwitz, in its on-field play-calling during a recent game.
