During a Thursday confirmation hearing for President Trump’s nominee to lead Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Democrat California Sen. Kamala Harris compared the agency to the Ku Klux Klan. During his opening statement, Vitiello said, “If confirmed, one of my highest priorities will be to better demonstrate to the public, Congress, and the media the importance of our mission to homeland security and public safety — and why our agency’s existence should not be up for debate.” Ronald Vitiello, Trump’s nominee, was questioned by Harris about comments made in the past where he referred to the Democratic Party as “neo-Klan” like....

Dredging the Savannah River is like a box of chocolates, say those who head up the task. You never know what you're gonna find. How about three cannons that may date to the American Revolution, an anchor and a likely piece of ship's timber?The Army Corps of Engineers halted work in the vicinity after the late February discovery east of the Georgia city's famous River Street. Then it sent out feelers to maritime experts, historians and those who have worked on wreck sites in the river, asking for their insight into the finds. Perhaps the cannons were tossed overboard or...

" /> Q is the result of the sacrifices and commitment of countless patriots to win back our captured country from the Deep State and achieve the transformation President Trump promised in this campaign video. President Trump has said the awakening of the public is key to this transformation.Q describes this awakening as follows: "The Great Awakening ('Freedom of Thought’), was designed and created not only as a backchannel to the public (away from the longstanding 'mind’ control of the corrupt & heavily biased media) to endure future events through transparency and regeneration of individual thought (breaking the chains of...

OUR WASHINGTON DISPATCHES WASHINGTON, Tuesday, March 26. THE CRISIS AT FORT SUMPTER APPROACHING. Information has reached here this evening that the Convention of South Carolina will to-morrow cut off Major Anderson's supplies. Gen.

The visit of Col. LAMON to Charleston does not partake fully of an official character. He went there on his private acconnt, and attended to some business for the Government at the same time.

Perplexing as it may seem, American foreign policy has been informed less by what Samuel P. Huntington termed civilizational consciousness than by the idea of the propositional nation. America, to her governing neoconservative and left-liberal elites, is not a nation but a notion, a community of disparate peoples coalescing around an abstract, highly manipulable, state-sanctioned ideology. Democracy, for one. Yet to Russell Kirk, the father of American conservatism, and an old-school conservative—as well as, arguably, to the founders of the nation themselves—society was a community of souls, joining the dead, the living, and those yet unborn. It cohered through what...

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden’s Cabinet is nearly complete with the confirmation of Labor Secretary Marty Walsh on Monday. But the work of building his administration is just beginning, as Biden has hundreds of key presidential appointments to make to fill out the federal government. The process of building out a government, according to Paul Light, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, is “nasty, brutish, and not at all short.” Biden has about 1,250 federal positions that require Senate confirmation, ranging from the head of the obscure Railroad Retirement Board to more urgent department positions such as assistant...

The Weekly Gardening Thread is a weekly gathering of folks that love soil, seeds and plants of all kinds.

It seems an unhappy, Democrat, VP, Kamala Harris is not a happy camper as illegal POTUS, Democrat, Joe Biden wraps his open border fiasco, failure, around her neck. Ms. Harris is no where to be found nor heard from. Nor, is the once, "laughing" Ms,. Harris on her way to the border states of California, Arizona, & Texas to assume the "leadership role" as Biden has sunk her with!!! Time and action or non-action will tell this story!!! Stay tuned, folks.

The 1960s, according to Carl Oglesby, a former president of Students for a Democratic Society, “will never level out.” “It’s a corkscrew, it’s a tailspin, it’s a joyride on a roller coaster, it’s a never-ending mystery,” he continues. “Who won? Who lost? What were the terms of victory and defeat? We’ll always be discussing that.” I recently edited a book of interviews with leading scholars that investigated the consequences of that decade. As a scholar, I avoided taking a partisan stance on the legacy of the ‘60s for contemporary America. But that stance doesn’t mean that I think there is...

A federal judge has ruled that Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies acted properly when they seized drugs and other evidence from the West Hollywood home of Democratic donor Ed Buck after a man was found dead there in 2017. Buck... asked U.S. District Judge Christina A. Snyder to bar prosecutors from using as evidence syringes, drug paraphernalia and nearly two grams of methamphetamine deputies discovered in what Buck called an illegal search of his apartment. Snyder denied the request. In a ruling Wednesday, she wrote that Buck effectively invited law enforcement into his home when he called 911 to report...

Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem Psalm 16Psalm 16 A miktam[a] of David. 1 Keep me safe, my God, for in you I take refuge. 2 I say to the Lord, “You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing.” 3 I say of the holy people who are in the land, “They are the noble ones in whom is all my delight.” 4 Those who run after other gods will suffer more and more. I will not pour out libations of blood to such gods or take up their names on my lips. 5 Lord, you...

The truth may be out there. But don't expect the feds to share what they know anytime soon on the recent spate of UFO sightings. Some military and spy agencies are blocking or simply ignoring the effort to catalog what they have on "unidentified aerial phenomenon," according to multiple current and former government officials. And as a result, the Biden administration will likely delay a much-anticipated public report to Congress. The Senate Intelligence Committee has asked the director of national intelligence to work with the Defense Department to provide a public accounting by June 25 on unexplained sightings of advanced...

Joe Biden is not going to grab our guns because we won't let him. The oddest part about social and political commentary portraying the prophesied success of Biden's EO as 'inevitable,' is that anyone believes Biden has the political heft to accomplish what the combined efforts all other treasonous presidents and congresses have failed to do.Even the MSM’s ‘Golden Boy,’ Obama, didn’t dare try it, and that clown supplied his own Greek columns and MSM-staged halo of light around his head.So why are we being told “people” believe that Dummy Biden’s ventriloquist is going take away our Constitional Rights with...

Tom Macdonald and the Hangover Gang ride again. Have the faith to give it a listen. Church.

It all seemed so simple. I thought the Trump/Russia hoax would finally force my liberal friends to demand a reckoning from their trusted news sources. As the Mueller Report made clear, the New York Times, Washington Post, CNN, NPR and so many others had egregiously and unequivocally misled them for years about the biggest political story since Watergate. If their favorite outlets could be so wrong about that, shouldn’t they bring a healthy skepticism to the coverage of other issues, from police shootings and “systemic racism” to the threat of “domestic terrorism,” GOP “voter suppression” efforts or President Biden’s trouble...

Sky News host Rita Panahi says "sinister" false claims of racism on a university campus saw innocent lives ruined as a result. Oumou Kanoute, a student at a women's college in Northampton claimed that she was a victim of racism. She claimed she was harassed by a cafeteria worker, college janitor and security officer for eating while black. “Despite the videos she posted of the incident showing the workers being awfully polite and non-confrontational Kanoute nevertheless claimed she was deeply traumatized because she was accused of trespassing,” Ms Panahi said. The story subsequently went viral, there were headlines in New...
