No doubt about it, the pandemic has changed the way we eat. Never before have so many people who hated cooking been forced to learn how to prepare a basic meal for themselves. With sit-down restaurants limiting their capacity or shutting down altogether, consumption of fast food and fast-casual food has skyrocketed. Don’t feel like slaving over a hot stove? Just hit the drive through and grab a sandwich and some fries (the health implications of increased fast food consumption are another matter…). Given our sudden immense need for paper-wrapped burgers and cardboard cartons of fries, fast food workers are...

Flashing objects photographed buzzing over US warships could be hypersonic drones from Russia or China, according to a UFO expert. The photos from California were said to have been leaked from an official investigation into unidentified flying objects which was readying evidence for the US Congress due in June. Nick Pope, who carried out investigations into UFOs for the Ministry of Defence, has speculated that one of the US's main rivals could be behind the incident. He also believes that this was not an isolated incident and that there may well be other UFO sightings that have not been made...

It was nearly twelve years ago to the month. Barack Obama was in the first weeks of his new administration. Some of the biggest names in finance were summoned to the White House to discuss the terms of the bank bailout known as the “Troubled Asset Relief Program” (TARP). Politico published a detailed insider account of the meeting. The charismatic new president who’d just won an historic election with a message of unity sounded a distinctly different tone behind closed doors with the titans of American banks.As the CEOs attempted to defend their large compensation packages in the midst of...

Currently, Hawaii allows visitors to skip quarantine if they get tested before traveling at a "trusted partner" site. Those heading to Maui will also soon have to take a second test upon arrival at the airport, while Kauai offers travelers discounts to local businesses if they volunteer to take a second test three days after arriving. It may be awhile before mainland travelers can take advantage of Hawaii's vaccine quarantine exception, but Lt. Gov. Josh Green told Hawaii News Now the state hopes to open it up to inter-island travelers by May 1, with the goal of eventually opening it...

For the past year, Fauci has represented nothing less than a clear and present threat to the survival of our country as a free and functioning Republic. He and the disinformation he has spread on a daily basis about this virus has caused incalculable damage to us all, robbing our children of a year of education and giving sanction to the federal and state governments to rob us all of our freedoms. Literally nothing Fauci has recommended as a mitigation strategy to this virus has had the slightest impact on its spread, and now, as Dr./Sen. Paul notes, he is...

If this surprises you, you haven’t been paying attention. – A former fundraiser for Barack Hussein Obama His Own Self, a guy named Imaad Zuberi (because of course his name is Imaad Zuberi), filed a complaint with the Inspector General for the Director of National Intelligence in which he admits to spending decades serving as an asset for the … wait for it … CIA. Oh, you don’t say. In the complaint, Zuberi – who has apparently decided to come fully clean about his life of crime against the American public – says he witnessed “flagrant problems, abuses, violations of...

The Russian government is escalating its confrontations with the West in order to test the Biden administration's resolve. Contrary to some assertions, however, we are not witnessing a second Cold War. The Cold War was essentially a stalemate until the Soviet empire imploded. Instead, President Vladimir Putin is engaged in an intimidating international offensive to regain world stature, reconstruct a Muscovite empire, and divide the West. A credible transatlantic alliance that marshals the strength of NATO and the European Union must be geared toward ensuring the freedom of wider Europe. If these states fall under the control of the Kremlin’s...

President Joe Biden's negotiators should use leverage gained against Iran by the previous U.S. administration to reach a better nuclear deal with Tehran in talks in Vienna, the United Arab Emirates' ambassador to Washington said.The UAE and Saudi Arabia had supported former President Donald Trump's decision in 2018 to quit the 2015 accord between Iran and world powers and reimpose harsh sanctions on their foe.You [US] are essentially in the driver's seat to get to a point to where we can address what I believe were shortcomings in JCPOA," envoy Yousef Al Otaiba said in a virtual discussion with Stanford...

One day after Project Veritas posted video of a CNN employee giving away the next propaganda campaign, there’s news that it has already started. On Tuesday, Project Veritas released a video showing a CNN Technical Director named Charlie Chester who cheerfully spilled the beans: Under the leadership of Jeffrey Zucker, CNN is a pure Democrat propaganda outfit that worked hard to get Trump out of the White House. With that mission accomplished, it’s going to change its propaganda to pushing climate change because “fear sells.” Also on Tuesday, CNS News reported that numerous news sites have promised that, henceforth, they’ll...

Yesterday’s discussions in the comment section regarding existentialism (or more specifically, Joey B’s understanding thereof) and Eastern philosophy made me think that we really need to expand our weekly nod to Caturday, Pupp-day, Taco Tuesday, Hen-day and Throwback Thursday. What we could really use around here is a World’s Great Philosophers’ Day. Please don’t blame me if most of the world’s greatest philosophers turn out to be old white guys, it’s just the way it’s been up till now.I decided to begin with one of the more prickly German philosophers – although in fairness all of the German philosophers were...

April 15, 2021Thursday of the Second Week of EastertideSt. nicholas of Myra Byzantine Catholic Church, Anchorage, Alaska Readings at MassLiturgical Colour: White. First readingActs 5:27-33 ©We are witnesses to all this, we and the Holy SpiritWhen the officials had brought the apostles in to face the Sanhedrin, the high priest demanded an explanation. ‘We gave you a formal warning’ he said ‘not to preach in this name, and what have you done? You have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and seem determined to fix the guilt of this man’s death on us.’ In reply Peter and the apostles said, ‘Obedience...

One of the things I couldn’t help but notice during the BLM protests last year was the fact that deeply distraught, hysterically angry white women seemed to be taking the lead in many of the protests. It turns out that I may have been on to something. A women’s publication called Evie has caught up with the fact that a study from last year found that over half of white, Democrat women have been diagnosed at one time or another with a mental health problem. I’m not at all surprised. To quote myself, in July, after sharing several videos of...

The efficiency with which the left can open a book to the same page and read along together in unison is amazing, a testament to the hive mind progressives share. Whatever the cause, no matter the issue, the amen chorus can always be counted on to be at the ready with whatever narrative-enforcing talking points they’ve been provided with. It’s part of the reason they succeed so often. Now that it has infected left-wing corporate America, it will hopefully be their downfall.“More than 120 CEOs, top executives and other corporate leaders gathered virtually over the weekend to discuss how they...

Congress notified that CIA inspector general has received allegations from fund-raiser Imaad Zuberi, including targeting of U.S. lawmakers and misuse of news organization for spy operation. Imaad Zuberi, a major Democratic fundraiser facing 12 years in prison, has filed an extraordinary complaint with the CIA's chief watchdog alleging he witnessed "flagrant problems, abuses, violations of law" while working as an asset for U.S. intelligence, according to documents and interviews. Zuberi, of Los Angeles, recently hired the CIA's retired acting general counsel Robert J. Eatinger Jr. to review his case and help to appeal his conviction on a plea deal with...

So, a criminal with a warrant who resists arrest meets up with an incompetent government employee who can’t tell a Glock from a taser, then there are Democrat riots, and what’s the result? You must be disarmed. If you’re looking for logical logic, keep on looking. If you understand the logic of power, you came to the right place. Facts don’t matter. Evidence is racist. 2+2=4 means you’re a transphobe. This is about power, people. Their power over you. Understand that you can’t reason your way out of this. We’re not going to explain to our enemies why it’s inefficient,...

President Joe Biden’s pro-migration policy is so unpopular that it is flipping multiple congressional swing districts towards GOP candidates, according to two polls funded by the Heritage Foundation. For example, 55 percent of swing-voting independents blame Biden for the migrant wave, 48 percent said it would make them less likely to vote for a Democrat, and 67 percent oppose the removal of the border wall, according to the two polls, each of 1,200 people. That is good news for GOP candidates because GOP voters overwhelmingly blame Biden and support the border wall. The two polls of 1,200 likely voters were...

Ukraine has warned Russia that it will bear 'very painful' consequences if it invades as Vladimir Putin continues to mass his forces in eastern Europe. Dmytro Kuleba, the country's foreign minister, added that Moscow is 'openly' threatening Ukraine with 'destruction' by stationing 80,000 troops along its border - with more arriving every day. He issued the warning following a meeting with the foreign ministers of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia - NATO allies in the region - saying 'the four of us condemn the exacerabtion of the situation by Russia.'
