The Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled against Governor Tony Evers Wednesday morning, finding that he doesn't have the authority to limit the capacity of bars and restaurants during the COVID-19 pandemic without the approval of the state legislature. The court ruling was 4-3, according to Associated Press correspondent Scott Bauer. Evers had limited the capacity of indoor dining spots to 25% last year. The restriction was lifted in October after an appeals court put the edict on hold. This ruling against Evers comes weeks after the court threw out the governor's mask mandate as cases in the state surged.

Former Green Bay Packers star Brett Favre is blasting the left-wing path taken by the major sports leagues in the U.S. Speaking on Eric Bolling’s April 13 podcast, Favre said that he thinks both liberal and conservative fans want sports to get back to being about sports. “I think both sides, for the most part, want to see it just remain about the sport, not about politics,” Favre said. “At least that’s my interpretation. I know when I turn on a game, I want to watch the game. I want to watch the players play, and teams win and lose...

Kentucky Republican Sen. Rand Paul suggested Tuesday National Institutes of Health Director Anthony Fauci should be removed from the airwaves for his incessant anti-science fearmongering throughout the COVID-19 outbreak. “Dr. Fauci should be voluntarily removed from TV because what he says is such a disservice and such fear-mongering, and almost all of what he says isn’t even matched by the science of his own institute,” Paul said on Fox Business. “Really, what we need to do is hear from a lot of different experts.”

(Podcasts, 5 chapters, short story, at the link.) Jules Verne's "Master Zacharias" is a prideful watchmaker, proponent of scientism, whose clocks stop working all at the same time. He agrees to let the devil wed his daughter. The Gates foundation has been accused of putting sterilizing agents into polio vaccines in Africa. He is like J.D. Rockefeller II, whose attempts to dumb-down America with whole-word reading, ruined 4 of his own 5 sons, who came out of John Dewey's Lincoln School with dyslexia. He is like Freud's nephew, P.R. pioneer Edward Bernays, who boasted of his ability to engineer the...

Earlier today, REDPILED Media released an exclusive report identifying Ashli Babbitt’s killer as US Capitol Special Agent David Bailey — the same man who let US Rep. Steve Scalise get shot nearly to death in 2017.Now, REDPILLED Media has uncovered evidence confirming our previous reporting through self-incriminating Facebook posts, and revealing Agent Bailey as a Brazilian immigrant who has pledged his allegiance to the deadly Black Lives Matter movement — even going so far as vowing to murder Trump supporters..First, some background information from our original exposé:On January 6th, unarmed 14-year high-ranking Air Force veteran and patriotic Trump supporter Ashli...

Biden's Economic Trojan HorseOn March 11, 2021, President Biden signed into law the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). This act will spend $1.9 trillion in money the federal government doesn’t have. Officially, this spending is meant to stimulate the US economy and help those most affected by the economic consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, the lockdowns, and the economic downturn.Unfortunately, reality does not match the spin. Indeed, ARPA contains little stimulus for an economy that is rather healthy, few resources to support the fight against COVID, and little real help for those hardest hit. The bill does, however, contain macroeconomic...

There were raised eyebrows in church houses across America when White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki described white evangelical Christians as a bunch of uncultured rednecks. Psaki made the disparaging comments while explaining how the Biden administration was trying to encourage white evangelicals to take the China Virus vaccine. “We’ve run PSAs on the ‘Deadliest Catch,’ we’re engaged with NASCAR and Country Music TV,” Psaki told reporters. “We’re looking for a range of ways to get directly connected to white conservative communities." It sounds as if all Ms. Psaki knows about white conservatives was learned through former President Obama, Mrs....
