El Salvador’s president is battling US Democrats. He has Twitter spat and snubs visiting Biden envoy Aides to El Salvador, saying he refuses to meet with a visiting senior U.S. diplomat over what he sees as a pattern of slights from Democrats and the Biden administration. “El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele refused to meet with a visiting senior U.S. diplomat this week over what he sees as a pattern of slights from Democrats and the Biden administration, according to two aides of the Central American leader,” Joshua Goodman wrote. The Democrats have a disaster on their hands with their open...

When the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines first proved their efficacy, preventing nearly 95% of coronavirus infections in those who got the shots in test trials, a vexing issue immediately arose. Who should get priority in receiving these life-saving shots? Generally speaking, the answer, while differing slightly from state to state, was that those most vulnerable to the virus, and those most vital to battling it, should be inoculated first. The most vital were doctors, nurses and emergency medical personnel in hospitals receiving infected patients. The most vulnerable were the elderly in nursing homes with comorbidities and compromised immune systems who...

A hospital in Boston is set to offer “preferential care based on race” and “race-explicit interventions” as a part of its new “antiracist agenda for medicine.” Brigham and Women’s Hospital will implement the program, outlined in a Boston Review article titled “An Antiracist Agenda for Medicine,” later this spring. Harvard Medical School instructors Bram Wispelwey and Michelle Morse wrote that the program uses a “reparations framework” for allocating medical resources in order to “comprehensively confront structural racism.”

It is no secret Republicans are at war with each other – especially in South Carolina. Late last month, we reported on the latest GOP infighting in the Palmetto State – where two sycophants of former U.S. president Donald Trump are battling each other for the right to lead the state party ahead of its 2024 “First in the South” presidential primary. Earlier today, this intra-party fight began receiving some national media attention … Additionally, this news outlet has noted how similar ideological fault lines are emerging within GOP legislative caucuses … which are currently at each other’s throats over...

They're saying the quiet part out loud: if you are White and arrive in an ambulance, desperately needing admission to one of the country’s premier hospitals, you would be turned away at the emergency room door because of your race. Ruling class members are starting to state out loud the heretofore tacit punitive anti-White discrimination they seek in order to atone for ‘structural racism.' Two professors at Harvard Medical School, Drs. Bram Wispelwey and Michelle Morse, have published an open call for racial discrimination in the delivery of medical services in the name of remedying “structural racism.” The article, titled...

The Octave of Easter John 21:1–14 Friends, we must attend to the mystical depth of today’s Gospel. At the break of dawn, the disciples spy a mysterious figure on the distant shore who shouts out to them, “Children, have you caught anything to eat?” When they answer in the negative, he instructs them to cast the net over the right side of the ship. When they do, they bring in a huge catch of fish. This fishing expedition is a symbol of the Church (the barque of Peter), across space and time, at its apostolic task of seeking souls. The...

(Washington, D.C.) It has been confirmed Democratic Senator from New York, Kirsten Gillibrand, is working on a statement that will redefine dementia to mean “Progressive Forward Thinking” according to a source familiar with the situation. He spoke off the record: “Democrats have a long history of re-defining terms to serve their goals, such as womens health for abortion and gun safety for gun control. Much as Senator Gillibrand has also re-defined infrastructure to include child care, paid leave and caregiving, she thinks it is now time to redefine dementia”. “As you can see when President Biden speaks, sometimes he appears...

“Then Jesus said to him, ‘Put your sword back into its place; for all those who take up the sword shall perish by the sword’” (Matthew 26:52). It is wrong to violently take justice into our own hands, even to defend or promote the name of Christ. The Body of Christ does not grow and strengthen itself by physical warfare. Every time it has endeavored to do so, the name and cause of Jesus Christ have been harmed. Such wars as the Crusades in the Holy Land or later religious wars between Catholics and Protestants in Europe served no scriptural...

When you make a Target run in 2025, you’ll have a bigger selection of products to choose from. That’s because Target (NYSE: TGT) announced plans to spend $2 billion on inventory and services from Black-owned businesses. The retailer already carries a large selection of products from Black-owned companies, and this will expand its program considerably.

A USPS mailwoman has been savagely beaten by two women who were accused of trying to rob stimulus checks from her van in Flint, Michigan. Footage shows the two women pounding the postal worker over the back of the head as they wrestle with her in the street, just yards away from a USPS truck which has a badly dented hood. 'Bruh y'all hit the mailman, they trying to get that stimulus,' the man recording the assault is heard saying.

United Airlines has decided that it’s time for a little makeover. The airline is not going to do that by changing its paint scheme, its in-flight service, or its billing structure. No, it’s got a much more ambitious objective in mind. United will polish its woke credentials by giving its clientele what it wants most -- diversity in the cockpit. United has announced that 50% of its new pilots entering training will be females or people of color. To fully appreciate the flaw in United’s decision, it’s important to understand the reasoning of the diversity industry. When I was an...

One of two men was shot after the duo allegedly forced their way into a home to confront the resident about a previous altercation. Andre Fogo, age 32, and Rachain Wilson, age 28, both from the village of Monticello, were arrested on Friday, April 2, after New York State Police responded to a report of a shooting in Monticello, said Trooper Steven Nevel. When troopers arrived on the scene they found that the victim, later identified as Wilson, had been driven to Garnet Health Medical Center in Catskill, for treatment of the gunshot wound, Nevel said. Troopers located the vehicle...

What would you say if I told you a distraught woman recently came into my counseling office? She explained that her boss threatened that, if she didn’t have sex with him, she would be fired. He’d already banned her from all firm social activities and said that he’d do what he could to destroy her personal life too. After he was done with her, he said, she wouldn’t be able to leave the house. He would take away everything that meant anything to her. She was crying because her boss had already shown how powerful he was. Even though sleeping...

On April 6th, North Las Vegas mayor John Lee announced that he is no longer associated with the Democratic Party and has, instead, switched his affiliation to the Republicans. This move is a direct result of the push for socialism from the Democrats. The mayor explained on "Fox and Friends," “In the Democratic Party of Nevada, they had an election recently for leadership, and four of the five people were card-carrying members of the socialistic party. It’s not the party that I grew up with 25 years ago in this environment, and it’s not the party that I can stand...

It’s just the flu, bro. https://www.cnn.com/2021/04/06/health/youth-sports-covid-spread-wellness/index.htm Fauci warns about youth sports spreading Coronavirus. It doesn’t matter that the common cold is about as deadly to children as the coronavirus - we must listen to government officials and shut down youth sports. - https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/anthony-fauci-consistently-wrong-texas-reopening Fauci says that the Coronavirus “can be confusing” as Coronavirus cases have dropped in Texas at the same time the lockdown and mask mandates were removed. In other words, the mandates and lockdowns are a pile of crap. - Coronavirus will become endemic, in my opinion. Vaccinations for it will likely wind up as effective as flu...

A realignment, as many have observed, is now unfolding in American politics. The Republican Party and its conservatism is now the home for the "Somewheres," to borrow the term from David Goodhart's 2017 book, "The Road to Somewhere," which refers to the more traditionalist, hardscrabble patriots of the American heartland. The Democratic Party and its increasingly hard-left progressivism, by contrast, is the home for the "Anywheres" -- those highly educated, mobile, "woke" elites comprising the bicoastal ruling class. The Big Tech issue is the tip of the spear of the realignment. As has been made painfully obvious the last few...

Meanwhile, at yesterday's fake White House press briefing… – Not a single question was raised by a single fake reporter during this hour-long daily soiree about the literal invasion that is happening at our border with Mexico. Not one. Why don’t the fake reporters ask about any of this when given the chance? Because this crisis at the border is a feature of the Biden/Harris Harris/Biden administration, not a glitch. This is all just part of the plan, and the corrupt, Soviet-style state-run propaganda media is complicit.

Beware arrogant liberal journalists besmirching the supposedly disgusting concept of bothsidesism, insisting truth and falsehood should never be aired together. The American people are too dim to figure out which side is which. The "false" side must be shunned. The most fervent topic of this arrogance is global warming, and the so-called "true" side never has to be held accountable for its dire predictions, ever. Take biologist Paul Ehrlich, who wrote the epic 1968 manifesto of error "The Population Bomb," in which he predicted that "In the 1970s the world will undergo famines -- hundreds of millions are going to...

The principle of end-to-end encryption underpins a system of communication where only the communicating users can read the messages. To this end, it exists to prevent any potential eavesdroppers (telecom providers, internet providers, law enforcement agencies) from being able to access the cryptographic keys needed to decrypt the conversation. Adopting new rulesWe remain deeply concerned, therefore, that the Council of the European Union is seeking to adopt new rules that would effectively do away with encryption. At the end of last year, they released a five-page resolution that called for the EU to pass new rules to govern the use...
