The Democrats’ manner of debating these days can be boiled down to one thing: label everything that conservatives do as racist. It’s a clever tactic, because it avoids discussing the merits of an issue (they always lose on the merits) and puts conservatives on the defensive. It turns the topic to discussing how to punish conservatives for being racist. The left is then free to plow ahead with their agenda because it’s the opposite, which then means it must be stopping racism. Everyone is so terrified of being called a racist that this stops conservatives from speaking up to defend...

Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem Psalm 32Psalm 32 Of David. A maskil.[a] 1 Blessed is the one whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered. 2 Blessed is the one whose sin the Lord does not count against them and in whose spirit is no deceit. 3 When I kept silent, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long. 4 For day and night your hand was heavy on me; my strength was sapped as in the heat of summer.[b] 5 Then I acknowledged my sin to you and did not cover up my iniquity. I said,...

This is a public health warning to the US population and elsewhere, as it appears that our public health agencies and television medical experts seem unable to address key health messages that could have a dramatic effect in reducing risk of severe sequelae in higher-risk populations such as the minority and African-American population to the scourge of SARS-CoV-2. This is now clear. They have squandered many an opportunity to inform the public on simple yet very effective messaging that could reduce morbidity and save lives. Not just for Covid-19, but our focus here is on Covid-19. For example, obesity has...

“He that is despised, and hath a servant, is better than he that honoureth himself, and lacketh bread” (Proverbs 12:9).

In 2020, the mask became the ultimate signal of virtue. Starting in about March, all of the Democrats I know posted pictures of themselves wearing masks. Along with the pictures were minatory statements or posters about how good people wear masks, not to protect themselves, but to protect everyone else. Even now, leftists are saying that masks are a sign of virtue, decency, and anti-racism and that we must continue to wear them even if we’re vaccinated. And speaking of vaccinations, the latest weapon in the virtue signalers’ arsenal is pictures of themselves getting vaccinated. Or pictures of themselves with...

In a recent essay for Quillette, Mark Goldblatt outlined the ways in which “scientists, theorists, technicians, entrepreneurs, and even a few kooks are laboring independently toward radical life extension, with an eye on the ultimate prize: the eradication of death.”The eradication, he argues, is not as preposterous as it sounds. One day, in the not so distant future, immortality may very well be achieved. However, one thing is for sure, even if death is eradicated, one thing simply can’t be removed from the human equation - tribalism.Mortality, Goldblatt argues, “is the defining feature of human existence.” Although this is very...

Sen. John Thune, R-S.D., mentioned that he’s not “afraid of a struggle” if former President Donald Trump campaigns in opposition to him in 2022 after being labeled a “weak and inneffective RINO” by him earlier within the yr. “I have been via wars in South Dakota, political wars, with my very own celebration after I ran the primary time, with the Democrats in a few hotly contested Senate races, so being afraid of a struggle or anyone coming after me just isn’t one thing that is going to affect that call,” Thune instructed “Fox Information Sunday.” Thune has but to...

Most people probably think of epidemiologists as simply doctors who specialize in contagious illness, but that would be only part of the story. Indeed, rather than studying and finding cures for diseases, arguably the most important component of the field is increasingly being viewed as something else entirely - the molding of public behavior. This explains why so many who go into epidemiology hold undergraduate degrees in public health, which focuses on the social and behavioral sciences, instead of the more hard-core sciency stuff studied by their medical doctor peers, like biology or biochemistry. So when epidemiologists like Dr. Anthony...

Minnesota police fatally shot a 20-year-old man during a traffic stop on Sunday afternoon — sparking protests and looting that lasted well into the night. Police shot the man, identified by family as Daunte Wright, after pulling him over on Orchard Avenue in Brooklyn Center at about 2 p.m., WCCO reported, citing authorities. It was not immediately clear why Wright, who was with his girlfriend at the time, was stopped. But police said he had an outstanding warrant. When police tried to arrest Wright, he allegedly tried to get back into his car, leading to an officer opening fire, the...

Concerns are mounting from bipartisan US lawmakers and Afghan women's rights activists that the hard-won gains for women and civil society in Afghanistan could be lost if the United States makes a precipitous withdrawal from the country. President Joe Biden has suggested it will be difficult to meet the May 1 deadline for US troops to leave the country as dictated in the deal the Trump administration signed with the Taliban. However, there are fears that if the US withdraws troops before the conditions on the ground are right -- regardless of the date on the calendar -- there will...

Rick Fitzgerald, a former Fresno officer, was removed from the department after video surfaced of him last month gathering with far-right protesters in YouTube footage posted by a former Proud Boy.

He had said on a podcast that he was part of the local Proud Boys group for roughly a year, rising...

This may be old news but I thought it was interesting to show how insane this idea of Covid Vaccination Passports can be.... The Caribbean Island Country of St. Vincent and the Grenadines has experienced several major volcanic eruptions in the last few days, cruise ships have been brought in to evacuate as many people as possible. However, the Prime Minister announced that only those who have received a Covid Vaccination would be allowed to board the cruise ships, the rest will be forced to stay on the island and fend for themselves... Those who remain only have to deal...

The fact that the loser spawn of Grandpa Badfinger is thumbing his coke-caked nose at the justice system represents not merely the tacky machinations of a crusty pol protecting the family Fredo. It has a deeper and more cynical purpose – to show us that our overlords are unaccountable and that the law is now merely another implement in the regime’s toolkit of oppression. They are telling us that they and their scumbag progeny can do whatever they want, but that we can’t. In the short term, this is infuriating. In the long term, it could bring down the system...

Harvey Weinstein was secretly indicted on rape charges by a grand jury in Los Angeles a couple weeks ago, Fox News has learned. The move by LA District Attorney George Gascón should facilitate the extradition of the Hollywood producer from New York so that he can be tried. The indictment is virtually identical to the criminal complaint, which had been filed in January 2020 by former DA Jackie Lacey. The disgraced movie mogul, who is already serving a 23-year sentence in New York for rape and sexual assault, faces 11 counts in California,including rape and sexual battery involving five incidents...

Representative Liz Cheney (R-WY) said Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation” that the 2020 presidential election was not “stolen” from former President Donald Trump. Anchor Margaret Brennan said, “Unfortunately, last night the former president seemed to be talking in a proud way about the crowd size on January 6. He gave a speech at Mar-a-Lago. He was the keynote speaker at an RNC fundraiser. He talked about Vice President Pence not doing more to stop the election certification, according to reports in the Times and the Post. So he is the best messenger for the party?” Cheney said, “The former...

George Carlin once famously said, “When fascism comes to America, it will not be in brown and black shirts. It will not be with jack-boots. It will be Nike sneakers and smiley shirts, smiley, smiley”. He followed that statement by saying, “Germany lost the Second World War, fascism won it; believe me my friend.” At that point Bill Maher chimed in saying, “And actually, fascism is when the corporations become the government, and that’s sort of what we have…”. - These statements where made on “Real Time with Bill Maher”, September 9, 2005. ​ While there are some interesting insights...

It’s humiliating for the president that almost three weeks since he appointed Kamala Harris as his border point-woman she still hasn’t visited the disaster zone, come up with a plan or held a press conference on the migrant crisis. SNIP Meantime, the self-inflicted humanitarian tragedy at the southern border has spiraled out of control, opinion polls are heading south, the Biden appointee in charge has abruptly resigned, El Salvador’s president has refused to meet the visiting US envoy, and the VP is defying her boss and staying far away from the stinking mess to protect her reputation. SNIP President Joe...
