Ron DeSantis has vowed to take executive action in Florida against 'completely unacceptable' plans for vaccine passports over privacy fears. The governor slapped down President Joe Biden's potential scheme which would allow Americans to return to pre-pandemic activities like travel and shopping by showing proof they've been inoculated against COVID-19. The Biden administration is working with private firms to develop the passes which would likely be available for free through smartphones, The Washington Post reported. But DeSantis said the plans would have 'huge privacy implications' which would violate personal freedoms. The Republican said at a press conference at the Florida...

The loss of public trust in universities that has risen to front page news did not suddenly emerge in 2020. In 2018 the non-partisan Gallup organization found that, for the first time, less than half of Americans have “a lot of confidence” in higher education. Even more pointedly, Gallup reported that “No other institution has shown a larger drop in confidence over the past three years than higher education.” The loss of civic faith in higher education has been building for a while. American liberal arts education has lost its moorings. A 2012 article in Inside Higher Ed crystallizes the...

I have a doctor’s appointment this morning so I’m leaving you to your own devices this fine Chicken Hump Day.But first I ask you: what sort of perv did this? Topless baby chicks in short skirts: that’s just twisted. And right before Easter. Most disturbing to me about this photo found on the internet however is that it looks exactly like my kitchen. I just want to go on record saying it is not.Now get out there and wrangle this hump day into submission.Posted from: MOTUS A.D.

The US Army can’t legally mandate COVID vaccines, but restrictive policies like those at Fort Drum and Fort Bragg make it increasingly difficult for service members to refuse.March 31, 2020 (Children’s Health Defense) – “Liberty is always dangerous but it is the safest thing we have.” — Henry Emerson FosdickA March 17 memorandum from the commander at the U.S. Army’s Fort Drum reservation in New York lists privileges withheld from service members who refuse to get the COVID-19 vaccine — an experimental Emergency Use Authorization product not proven to prevent infection or transmission of the COVID virus.The memo, “Prohibited Activities...

Founded in 1923, the Frankfurt School, a philosophical and sociological movement with the aim of developing Marxist studies in Germany that operated out of Goethe University in Frankfurt. After the Nazi takeover in 1933, the Frankfurt School relocated to Columbia University in New York City. The influence of the Frankfurt School has been far reaching, with Critical Theory their primary focus, which has a preoccupation for critiquing modernity and capitalist society. Unable to attract converts to communism due to capitalism’s abundant material wealth, the cultural Marxism of Critical Theory perpetuates discontent by dividing people by race, sex, and class with...

David Horowitz has been warning for decades that the American left stands in opposition to America, in both its lack of appreciation of the principles of the American founding expressed in both the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, and of the country’s history and achievements and economic system which have enabled the nation to grow and prosper. America’s history is hardly blemish free, of course, with a long and troubling record with among others, Native Americans and Blacks who were brought to the country as slaves, and who faced mistreatment and discrimination after the Civil War for a century...

It’s just the flu, bro. https://www.businessinsider.com/who-coronavirus-jumped-to-people-farms-that-breed-wild-animals-2021-3 This pro-China source says that the virus ore likely started 800 miles away from Wuhan at a region with lots of farms. There is no chance, obviously, that it leaked out of the Wuhan Institute for Virology as that would imply that the Chinese are capable of mismanaging something. - Sometimes the Flubro threads attack Coronavirus regulations by using the same fear that was used to create the regulations. Fear of phthalates, vaccines, underdeveloped immune systems, etc. have all been used to undermine the government imposed restrictions on our liberty. These all seem like...

Is it better for a 3-year-old child to spend more time with a government employee or a mother? resident Joe Biden is pushing for a federal program to put preschool children in the hands of the former -- theoretically, as a benefit to the latter. What about summer vacations? Should children have them? Or is it better to keep them in school 12 months a year? Cynthia Marten, superintendent of the San Diego Unified School District, took the latter position at a Senate confirmation hearing last week. She is Biden's nominee to be deputy secretary of Education. Democratic Sen. Tim...

Malarkey! That's how the King County Sheriff's Office described a series of text messages used in an attempted scam targeting a Woodinville resident. On March 18 just before 10:00 p.m., deputies responded to the would-be victim's house in the Cottage Lake area. The female resident revealed multiple text messages that she received from an unknown person pretending to be a hitman hired to kill her. "I am very sorry for you," one of the messages reads, "it's a pit that this is how your life is going to end as soon as you don't comply." The rather poorly written text...

The psychological-warfare attack -- its script straight from the antifa/Black Lives Matter version of the Cold War's Marxist playbook -- began in January when the predictable chorus of hard-left hacks in academia, media and government vilified the American military with toxic allegations calculated to demoralize military personnel, sow destructive institutional suspicion and undermine command authority with the goal of weakening U.S. national security. The propaganda ploy the hard left's commissars, fuhrers and utopian messiahs use in their psychological assault first targets individuals. See, right-wing extremists and white supremacists fill the military ranks, and they represent an armed threat, because the...

Progressives have a visceral hatred for America, its Judeo-Christian values, its free market system, its freedoms, opportunities, and material comforts. They want to change it fundamentally -- or destroy it. Our founding documents guarantee the right to “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” with a functioning, limited government that serves the people. But such a milieu of healthy competition is an anathema to the Left, which thinks it offensive that Americans are free to work hard and pursue their dreams with minimal government intervention. Instead of letting such a meritocracy prevail and deliver the best to the nation, the...

The man busted for the hate-fueled attack on an Asian woman in Midtown was out on parole for killing his own mother back in 2002, authorities said Wednesday. Brandon Elliot, 38, who lives in a nearby hotel that serves as a homeless shelter, was arrested early Wednesday and hit with a number of charges, including assault as a hate crime and attempted assault as a hate crime, police said. Brandon Elliot was arrested back in 2002 for the murder of his own mother in the Bronx, police said. Brandon Elliot was arrested back in 2002 for the murder of his...

Three academics from Renmin University have revealed Chinese plans to replace the United States as the leading world power. Renmin University is equivalent to Harvard or Yale, a university where future leaders are groomed. In 2016, Professor Jin Canrong suggested that one of the most effective methods was to infiltrate the U.S. House of Representatives. In 2020, Dr. Li Yi claimed, "We are ahead of schedule in terms of overtaking the United States. There will be no problem reaching this goal in 2027. The U.S. will not survive. We will drive the U.S. to its death." Perhaps the most revealing...

@RedEaglePatriot Trump will handily beat Kamala in 2024. If DeSantis is the nominee, he probably would not be able to win Michigan or Pennsylvania as easily, but probably would win Georgia.

They appear to be cowards or crooks or compromised. Cowards, crooks, or compromised seems to be the only way to explain the decision-making of the United States Supreme Court. The Court's unwillingness to make any decisions regarding the presidential election of 2020 is a historic failure. These last twelve months have seen the Court refuse to do its duty. The Court refused to be a co-equal branch of the federal government. With the Bush v. Gore of 2000, there is legal precedent. Just twenty short years ago, the U.S. Supreme Court took Bush v. Gore, a presidential election case, so...

Dear friends, we just recently - due to the Hurricane Isaias - lost electric power in our town and man was it dark at night! Dark in our room, dark in our house, dark in our neighborhood, dark in our city! It was DARK and what a neat experience to experience which had many great spiritual truths to apply to our setting! All the things we take for granted every day were gone and only DARKNESS remained! When the lights are absolutely extinguished one can feel the deep gross darkness and cannot see one's hand before their face. Have you...

Dubbed the American Jobs Plan, the White House said the “once-in-a-century capital investment” in U.S. infrastructure will create “millions” of good-paying jobs and position America to “out-compete” China by spending about 1% of GDP per year over the course of 8 years. [snip] In order to pay for this legislation, Biden also proposed what he has called the Made in America Tax Plan, which would raise the corporate tax rate to 28% from 21%. It would also increase the minimum tax on multinational corporations to 21% and “calculate it on a country-by-country basis so it hits profits in tax havens,”...

How many times must our Swamp Lords tell us before we finally understand? Questioning the legitimacy of the 2020 election will not be tolerated, and doing so is an unequivocal attack upon our "democracy" — whatever that is. (I believe it's now defined as a system for Democratic Party operatives to use unverified and untraceable mail-in ballots to rig elections in their favor while hiding behind fatuous allegations that state deadlines, photo identification, signature verification, or any other security method used to filter out fraudulent ballots is actually a product of white supremacy. In fact, I'm pretty sure the Democrats'...
