Amazon has joined the chorus of corporate leaders attacking Georgia’s election law. According to Amazon spokesperson and former Obama Press Secretary Jay Carney, “efforts to disenfranchise black people and other minorities continue to this day.” “It has been fifty-six years since the Voting Rights Act became law, yet efforts to disenfranchise black people and other minorities continue to this day,” said Amazon spokesperson Jay Carney. “The ability to vote is one of the most prized fundamental rights in American democracy, and Amazon supports policies that protect and expand those rights.” Carney went on to praise “the Commonwealth of Virginia” for...

Vermont Gov. Phil Scott has come under fire for a newly announced statewide vaccination protocol moving minorities to the head of the line based solely on their race. The Republican governor announced Thursday that Black, Indigenous and people of color, known as BIPOC, may now sign up to be vaccinated against COVID-19, two weeks before the state plans to make available vaccines to anyone over the age of 16.

Another Easter without Mass: What happened to Catholic Ireland?May the blood of the Irish martyrs serve to inspire the Church, so that the Irish clergy may once more fulfill their vocation to lead souls to God instead of away from Him, and may the underground Church continue to grow in size and fervor.DUBLIN, Ireland, April 2, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) –– For the second year running, the Irish government has brought about something which would have made the previous persecutors of Irish Catholics so very proud: The prohibition of public worship during Holy Week and Easter.Yet the blame cannot fall solely at...

Heritage Action executive director Jessica Anderson, who has continually highlighted the left’s lies on Georgia’s election integrity law, slammed Major League Baseball after it announced it would pull the All-Star game and Draft from Atlanta over the law. “It’s a shame the MLB has taken an American pastime and weaponized it against a majority of Americans who support common sense voting reforms. Maybe they should move to Beijing,” she remarked: Democrats claim the law suppresses minority votes, but this, again, is false. Heritage Action explained the Georgia law “was silent on Sunday early voting days prior to SB 202, and...

In March, a Twitter account popped up that pretty much nobody had heard of before. By this morning, it had accumulated a total of 54 followers. The person associated with the account is not a celebrity, politicians, influencer, or someone who is often impersonated on the platform. But the account was “verified” by Twitter and is being used to spread radical leftist and pro-CCP propaganda. Now, many on Twitter are asking, “Who is ‘Dr. Jialun'”?

Labour’s Shadow Lord Chancellor and Justice Secretary David Lammy listed heavyweight boxing legend Joe Frazier alongside Judas Iscariot and the KKK in a bizarre Good Friday message. “Good Friday so thinking about Judas who sold out his brother for 30 pieces of silver.” “Sure many of us can think a Judas amidst us,” he continued. “Keep the faith: ‘There is no Jesus without Judas, no Martin Luther King without the Klan; no Ali without Joe Frazier; no freedom without tyranny'”. The decision to list the late Frazier, a heavyweight world champion who brought an Olympic gold medal back to the...

It is the thesis of this monumentally argued book that the United States Supreme Court - largely through abuses of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution, has embarked on "a continuing revision of the Constitution, under the guise of interpretation." Consequently, the Court has subverted America's democratic institutions and wreaked havoc upon Americans' social and political lives. One of the first constitutional scholars to question the rise of judicial activism in modern times, Raoul Berger points out that "the Supreme Court is not empowered to rewrite the Constitution, that in its transformation of the Fourteenth Amendment it has demonstrably done...

Despite the establishment media’s insistence that a conviction is inevitable in former police officer Derek Chauvin’s trial, there are actually many compounding factors that make the case relatively complex. One of those factors is that George Floyd, who died last May after a confrontation with Chauvin and other police in Minneapolis, apparently had large amounts of drugs in his system. New surveillance footage from the store where Floyd allegedly used a fake bill before the incident seems to confirm that fact. On Wednesday, footage from inside the Cup Foods where the counterfeit bill incident occurred was shown for the first...

The metastasis of the “woke” ideology is the most comprehensive threat facing the American republic. It is appallingly totalitarian, insofar as the woke wield the levers of cancel culture to suppress all dissident speech, root out all wrongthink and achieve by sheer force an intellectual homogeneity. It is outright racist, insofar as intersectionality and identity politics, to say nothing of vogue concepts such as “critical race theory” and “racial equity,” overtly discriminate on the basis of race and thus undermine the preeminent American ethos of equal protection under the law. What’s more, that universality often takes the more insidious form...

Actor Gary Sinise is a rare sight to behold in Hollywood. Instead of soaking up accolades for his memorable performances and indulging in the celebrity lifestyle, Sinise dedicates most of his time to helping America’s veterans. In 2011, the actor established the Gary Sinise Foundation, which has adapted nearly 70 smart homes for veterans who suffered severe wounds in service of their nation. But Sinise’s foundation also has launched an initiative to help the country’s heroes continue to heal beyond their physical scars. According to The Atlanta Jewish Times, Sinise is teaming with The Home Depot co-founders Bernie Marcus and...

Former President Donald Trump on April 2 urged people to boycott Major League Baseball (MLB), Coca-Cola, Delta, and other corporations which are openly opposing election reforms enacted by Republicans in Georgia. “Baseball is already losing tremendous numbers of fans, and now they leave Atlanta with their All-Star Game because they are afraid of the Radical Left Democrats who do not want voter I.D., which is desperately needed, to have anything to do with our elections,” Trump wrote in a statement released by his Save America political action committee. “Boycott baseball and all of the woke companies that are interfering with...

Normalcy Bias is a cognitive bias which leads people to not believe or minimize threat warnings. Individuals affected by this condition underestimate the likelihood of a...

As we are prepare to celebrate our family gathering to celebrate the resurrection of the Lord as spring warmth touches us I open the windows and let fresh air and bird's songs in. I replace the fabrics from cozy winter plaids to soft pastel florals. The wind blows the curtains and floral candles scent the air, gone-with-the-wind lamps give soft glow to the antiques and the artwork adorned with bible verses make each room very calming and I am soothed. Our home is ready to give our traveling children the comfort of being back in the arms of family and...

They are dishonestly attacking the Georgia legislation as a throwback to the Jim Crow era, while simultaneously assailing the Senate filibuster as “racist” as well. Those are two vital elements of the grand plan to ram the federal election-takeover legislation, HR 1, the euphemistically titled “For the People Act,” through Congress. The true intent of the legislation—and the road map to get it to Biden’s desk—is to weaken election security and to cement liberals’ hold on power for decades.

The Recognizing the Protection of Motorsports bill fights EPA overreach. Like all nasty brawls, this one has been festering for a while; back in 2015, the EPA had proposed extending emissions standards to include dedicated off-road vehicles as well as race machines (including street vehicles converted for use on the strip), and the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA)—the trade association for aftermarket equipment manufacturers—lashed out, saying the agency’s actions were a gross misinterpretation the Clean Air Act (CAA) that would legislate a sizable chunk of the motorsports aftermarket out of existence. Because of massive public outcry, the EPA ended up...

When Marine Corps Capt. William Mahoney took off for a routine training flight on June 7, 2014, he was probably just expecting to fly a few hundred miles and use some missiles to shoot down alien spacecraft (…because we get our entire understanding of Marine Corps aviation from Independence Day). But what Mahoney didn’t know was that his AV-8 Harrier had a landing gear problem that wouldn’t become apparent until the jet alerted him to it in the air. VIDEO He flew past the control tower on the USS Bataan and asked the people there to take a look. They...
