Donald Trump Jr. blasted Delta Airlines and “woke corporate culture” after Delta CEO Ed Bastian attacked Georgia’s voter integrity laws. In a video posted Friday, Don Jr. said Delta “is learning the hard way not to bite the hand that feeds it” after Georgia State Republicans voted to cancel a tax break plan for the airline. He added, Bastian’s comments were a stark contrast from Delta’s prior statement on the matter. In its previous statement, Delta admitted the legislation “improved” considerably during the process and was “committed to listening to communities and engaging with leaders from both parties.”

Holy Saturday MARK 16:1–7 Friends, on this Holy Saturday in our Gospel we hear St. Mark’s account of the Resurrection. The Resurrection of Jesus from the dead is the be-all and end-all of the Christian faith. If Jesus didn’t rise from the dead, all bishops, priests, and Christian ministers should go home and get honest jobs, and all the Christian faithful should leave their churches immediately. As Paul himself put it: “If Christ has not been raised, then empty is our preaching; empty, too, your faith. . . . If for this life only we have hoped in Christ, we...

A Dallas woman was sentenced to five years in prison for causing a nightclub dancer's death by performing an illegal cosmetic butt injection on her in Missouri. Nitica Deonte Lee, 49, was sentenced Thursday for involuntary manslaughter in the 2015 death of Daysha Phillips, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported.

First column at Revolver. Hugely important. Crucial information about C19 is being systematically censored by bit-tech & the media. You have no idea what you don't know. And, in this case, what you don't know might literally kill you.

In the excerpt, Boehner didn't hold back when assessing his new colleagues, saying that when he tried to offer the freshmen lawmakers guidance about being in Congress, his advice "went straight through the ears of most of them, especially the ones who didn't have brains that got in the way." Boehner also assigned some blame to conservative media outlets, especially Fox News, in incentivizing flashiness and outrage over substance, which he said made it harder for him to govern his caucus effectively. By 2013, Boehner wrote, "the chaos caucus in the House had built up their own power base thanks...

On March 11, the Civics Secures Democracy Act, which supposedly will serve to improve the understanding of civics in elementary, middle, and high schools, was introduced into the present session of Congress, both House and Senate. However, its bloated language, fatuous assumptions, and mind-drugging pomposity alone show that this bill is not only not helpful, but destructive of the republic. Furthermore, this bill will clearly feed the aspirations of the left wing of American politics, which already carries far too much weight in public education. This is not only this writer's viewpoint, but that of Stanley Kurtz in National Review...

Lego larceny may be on the rise. French police have been investigating an international ring of toy thieves with a particular affinity for the colorful, interlocking bricks, according to a recent report from The Guardian. In this case, three suspects were caught taking boxes of Legos from a toy shop near Paris, with the goal of selling them in Poland, according to Le Parisien. And it's not just Europe. Lego robberies have happened in the United States as well. Last month, a man in Oregon was arrested after local police suspected he stole $7,500 worth of Lego toy sets.

So far, the Year of the Ox has brought fortune to the China Communist Party (CPP). In Anchorage, the Obama redux team from the State Department went belly up on its own soil. Slapping high fives and wearing party hats behind the Xinhua Gate, it’s the celebration of an outcome finally achieved after a four-year setback by the Trump administration. They’re toasting a Manchurian candidate in the Oval Office with a hard Left wind at his back and a dystopian family in tow. To hasten the decline of its principal economic and military adversary, mainland China media and its propaganda...

There are three things that America will be known for 2,000 years from now: the Constitution, jazz music, and Baseball. They’re the three most beautifully designed things this culture’s ever produced. - Dr. Gerald Early, Washington UniversityWell don’t count on it, seeing how things are going. We all know about the left’s deep disdain for the Constitution, verbalized by none other than Barack Hussein Obama who described it as a “charter of negative liberties.” He went on to complain that it“says what the states can’t do to you, says what the federal government can’t do to you, but it doesn’t...

The Biden administration has made clear its intention to talk with Iran. Since every negotiation has to have an endgame, consider both parties to the proposed conversation and what they intend to get. Before the election, Biden told a journalist he wants to "build on" the JCPOA with a new agreement to “tighten and lengthen Iran’s nuclear constraints, as we address the missile program.” He also talked about Iran’s human rights record and its “destabilizing activities, which threaten our friends and partners in the region.” At that time, Mr. Biden said the only way to negotiate a new deal was...

There could be "enough information to be able to safely vaccinate children of virtually any age" by the end of the year, Dr. Anthony Fauci said at a White House COVID-19 response briefing Friday, pointing to recent data from Pfizer on the safety and efficacy of its COVID-19 vaccine in adolescents. Pfizer and its German partner BioNTech announced this week that early results from a trial of their COVID-19 vaccine in older children, 12 to 15 years of age, showed it was safe and fully effective. The company said it plans to seek an amendment to its emergency use authorization...

I love the COVID-19 vaccines. I am truly blown away by the new mRNA vaccines and how amazingly effective they are. I love it so much that I eagerly lined up for my own vaccination when it became available. As a middle-aged man, I recognize that my risk of serious complications or death is increasing as I age, so I am happy to be protected by this incredible new technology. That does not mean, however, that I am ready to give the COVID-19 vaccine to my kids. Children are at vanishingly low risk of dying from COVID and any vaccine...

“Failure on a massive scale” – that’s what one Member of Congress called the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program. The Department of Defense (DoD) markets the F-35 as a stealth fighter jet that can do it all. The real truth is the project is an abysmal waste of money which does not work as advertised. Both parties, for once, need join together in a bipartisan manner to stop the crony capitalism which has led the Pentagon to allow the taxpayers to be ripped off.Congress needs to find ways to terminate the F-35 program today. The program is a money pit...

Former professional basketball player Kareem Abdul-Jabbar said Friday on MSNBC’s “The Beat” that Major League Baseball moving the All-Star Game from Atlanta, GA following the passage of a new voter law “means something to everybody.” Melber asked, “Kareem, what does it mean for Major League Baseball to take a stand like this right now?” Abdul-Jabbar said, “I think it’s very significant, Ari, because it shows that this means something to everybody. This is something that we all want to see end. Voter suppression is not what democracy is about. We all want to see it end. By Major League Baseball...

The Pandemic of 2020 was a tragedy for the whole world. But our all-out war against the coronavirus taught Americans a bunch of important lessons. It proved that our political system in Washington is a partisan train wreck. It proved that you can't teach kids by Zoom as well as you can in person. It proved that the CDC doesn't know what it's doing and Blue State governors will issue sweeping lockdowns even when they have no idea how much collateral harm they'll do to the rest of society. And on a much, much lighter note - and as a...

Asked about Sen. Lindsey Graham saying Fauci should go to the border to see “the biggest super spreader event in the nation – President Joe Biden’s immigration policies.” Fauci responded, “You know, I’ve become a symbol to them of what they don’t like about anything that has to do with things that are contrary to them, anything outside of their own realm. It’s a little bit bizarre. I have nothing to do with the border. Peter Navarro saying I created the virus? Think about that for a second. Isn’t that weird? Come on.” Cavoto said, “I think what Lindsey Graham...

On Friday, a man rammed a car into Capitol Police officers and then jumped out wielding a knife. One officer and the attacker died and another officer was seriously injured. Leftists instantly politicized the story, claiming that it was a white supremacist attack. Then, when it turned out the killer was a Black Muslim, they fell completely silent – or still blamed Trump. Regarding the actual event, the facts are spare: the killer, Noah Green, was 25 or so and was a passionate supporter of Louis Farrakhan, the leader of the Nation of Islam. We know this from his Facebook...
