Just one month ago Joe Biden spread direct Chinese Communist Party propaganda when he was asked about Xi Jinping’s genocide of the Uyghurs during the CNN town hall. One million Muslims (the majority of them Uyghurs) have been held in secretive detention camps without any legal process since 2014. It has been described as a genocide, the likes of which have not been seen since WWII. Biden said the Uyghur genocide is just “a Chinese cultural norm.” That was just last month. Then today Joe Biden suggested Trump did not speak out on the Uyghur genocide or Hong Kong or...

NBC News analyst Jonathan Allen remarked that President Biden sounded and looked “tired” during the first press conference of his administration. Despite pledging transparency to the media, Biden went 64 days without holding a press conference. The topic of immigration weighed heavily on the press conference, where Biden attempted to beat back the perception that his “nice guy” image was causing thousands of migrants to travel from South America to the U.S.-Mexico border. “I’d like to think it’s because I’m a nice guy but it’s not,” Biden told reporters. “The truth of the matter is, nothing has changed.” “The reason...

"Thy Kingdom Come…”We, (to whom this teaching is directed), we know the inevitable future. We know that one day “The Kingdoms of this world shall become the Kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever”( Revelation 11:15) It is an absolute certainty, the Kingdom of God is the sure future, and will one day be fully manifested on earth, for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it. But Jesus instructs us to constantly pray for this to happen, in this, the basic teaching on prayer. Why must we pray for what we...

San Francisco Mayor London Breed announced Thursday the city has launched a guaranteed income pilot program for artists affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The six-month program will target artists in the neighborhoods hardest hit by the pandemic, providing 130 people with $1,000 each month. “The arts are truly critical to our local economy and are an essential part of our long-term recovery,” Breed said in a statement. “If we help the arts recover, the arts will help San Francisco recover.” To qualify, artists affected by the pandemic must be living in one of 13 chosen San Francisco ZIP codes and...

Today a motion was unsealed in the Ghislaine Maxwell case that give us serious concerns about the government’s case against Maxwell. I’ll make this brief. The unsealed motion had to do with Maxwell’s recently rejected motion for release on bail. It had been sealed because it references documents that are still under seal. You can read the full motion for release on bail here. I won’t go through the whole motion - only the parts that stand out. First, Maxwell makes the accusation that “the government concedes it cannot establish that either Ms. Maxwell or Epstein ever caused, or sought...

Why did Boulder shooting suspect Ahmad Al Aliwi Al Issa of Arvada, Colorado, go to a King Soopers grocery store 25 miles away from his home to carry out his attack? The investigation of the murder Monday of 10 people is only beginning. But the indication that the Syrian immigrant had ISIS sympathies combined with the super market’s advertised kosher offerings for its significant Jewish clientele has drawn attention on social media. In a Twitter string, a variety of users noted the store in south Boulder is in an area with many Jewish families. And the shooting took place in...

Several young lawmakers in Rhode Island have complained that the state's senate dress code is 'oppressive' and biased towards white people. The Rhode Island Senate approved a dress code in a 29-7 vote on Tuesday, mandating that elected officials wear 'proper and appropriate attire, such as blouses, dress slacks and collared shirts with an accompanying jacket'. And while most Democrats voted to pass the measure, seven left-wing senators dissented, including newly elected Sen. Jonathan Acosta, 31. Speaking on the floor during a debate on the issue, Acosta claimed it was 'super inappropriate' for a white, male senate president to 'bestow...

Speaking on the future of the filibuster at the first press conference of his presidency, President Joe Biden, 78, said he came to the Senate “120 years ago.” “With regard to the filibuster, I believe we should go back to the position of the filibuster that existed just when I came to the United State’s Senate 120 years ago.” Biden became a Senator when he was 29 and served for 36 years. Many top Democrats have argued that the filibuster is a ‘racist’ practice and have advocated for its demise. Republicans, like Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, however, say that...

Pelosi and the House Democrats are actively trying to steal a House seat in Iowa. The Democrats stole the White House and Senate with millions of fraudulent ballots, Zuckerberg drop boxes and ballot harvesting so what’s stopping them from stealing a US House of Representatives seat in Iowa? Speaker Pelosi bragged about working to steal a certified GOP Iowa House seat and said it’s her right to seat and unseat any member of Congress she wants. “Now, if I wanted to be unfair, I wouldn’t have seated the Republican from Iowa because that was my right on the opening day,”...

Explanation: Before Perseverance there was Curiosity. In fact, the Curiosity rover accomplished the first sky crane maneuver touchdown on Mars on August 5, 2012. March 2, 2021 marked Curiosity's 3,048th martian day operating on the surface of the Red Planet. This 360 degree panorama from sol 3048 is a mosaic of 149 frames from Curiosity's Mastcam above the rover's deck. It includes 23 frames of icy, thin, high clouds drifting through the martian sky. The cloudy sky frames were recorded throughout that martian day and are digitally stitched together in the panoramic view. Near center is a layered and streaked...

Somebody send over to CNN and their media reporters Oliver Darcy and Brian Stelter the journalistic ethics guide. Not the whole thing; just page one. Or maybe just paragraph one. Circle the part that says, “It is unethical to use your journalistic position to obtain special favors from public officials.” Then ask: Why hasn’t Chris Cuomo been fired? What he’s done is the very definition of corruption. Look it up in your Merriam-Webster: there’s now a picture of Chris Cuomo holding up a giant cotton swab. If, during the darkest days of the pandemic, Donald Trump had taken scarce COVID...

A local Minnesota theater has cancelled a production of Roger & Hammerstein's Cinderella because its cast was 'too white'. Chanhassen Dinner Theatres was scheduled to stage the show later this year before its artistic director stepped in to slam its lack of diversity. 'It was 98 percent white, ' the artistic director, Michael Brindisi, told the Pioneer Press on Wednesday after looking at who had been cast. However, Chanhassen - located southwest of Minneapolis - has a population that is overwhelming white, and the racial demographics of the cast were not strikingly different from the city as a whole. According...

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson on Thursday signed a law banning transgender women and girls from competing in school sports teams consistent with their gender identity. The Republican governor made the state the second so far this year to enact such a restriction, despite objections from medical and child-welfare groups that it would have devastating impacts on transgender youth. “This will help promote and maintain fairness in women’s sporting events,” Hutchinson said in a statement released by his office.

I really do think that the easy availability of guns in our society does help explain this...I'm not against gun ownership, I believe in the 2nd Amendment, but I do believe in reasonable restrictions. I would like to know how this guy got his gun. Does he have a mental illness? Was it easily available? Was it lawfully purchased? I think that's an issue that has to be debated.

Fox News contributor and former White House press secretary Ari Fleischer on Wednesday predicted that Senate Democrats will move to nix the Senate filibuster on gun reform legislation after multiple deadly mass shootings. During an interview on Fox’s “America’s Newsroom,” Fleischer, who served under former President George W. Bush’s administration, said that gun control is one of the issues at the “core” of the Democratic Party. “I think this is going to be an issue that breaks the Senate,” he said. “It is so deep and fervent inside the Democratic Party that gun control is the answer.” Fleischer went on...
