    From Charles de Montesquieu’s Spirit of the Laws, “When once a republic is corrupted, there is no possibility of remedying any of the growing evils, but by removing the corruption and restoring its lost principles.” There is a fundamental contradiction in the structure of our government that is responsible for the increasing turmoil we’ve witnessed these past few decades. Media pleas to “get along” and compromise reflect snowballing social and political tensions. Unimaginable only a decade ago, our rulers in Washington, DC prepare for societal collapse. Rather than deal with the sickness that afflicts our republic, they respond to the...

    Looks like there is selective outrage when it comes to questioning vaccine decisions.The press have been on a curious trend lately of sowing confusion and delivering conflicting information on the Covid-19 vaccines. CBS News gave false claims about some of the vaccines, YouTube was blocking videos from prominent doctors due to claimed misinformation, and Dr. Anthony Fauci is walking around delivering conflicting information on a regular basis. This can be dangerous content, and it derives from the media.But they blame Tucker Carlson. He has been the unique focus of the media for months now, and they are ramping up the...

    Scrambled eggs are just one of those foods. You know, the type that seem simple enough in theory, and yet have somehow generated many tutorials, hacks, and recipes — each only slightly tweaked from the last but still garnering their own loyal following. Perhaps Chrissy Teigen’s recipe is your holy grail, or you swear by Anthony Bourdain’s. Well, I’m sorry to tell you that there’s a new contender in town: J. Kenji López-Alt’s viral recipe that promises the fluffiest, creamiest scrambled eggs with the help of one unexpected ingredient. Maybe it’s time to reconsider your favourite? The American chef’s secret...

    ORLANDO, Fla. — Temporarily blinded Saturday morning by a laser pointed at him from 1,000 feet below, a Florida Highway Patrol pilot alerted other aircraft about the flying hazard then landed his plane and began an investigation that led to the arrest of a Kissimmee man at a multi-story construction site. Guillermo Negron Roque, 47, was jailed pending a charge of pointing a laser light at a pilot, a second-degree felony. The bright flash of green light startled FHP pilot J.C. Pollock as he was flying west of Interstate 4 about 6:30 a.m. “At first I thought I was about...

    The Orlando area continues to lock down its rank as the most dangerous place in the nation for pedestrians. “Still number one,” said Rayla Bellis, primary author of the 2021 Dangerous By Design report that analyzes the nation’s pedestrian deaths and compares statistics of metro areas and states. Orlando and a few other cities had slightly better numbers in the new report than in one two years ago. “These places were so dangerous to begin with that even seeing these improvements, they are still rising to the top,” Bellis said. The report by the pedestrian-safety advocacy groups Smart Growth America...

    While answering a reporter’s question on gun control in light of the FedEx attack, President Joe Biden suggested there is a mass shooting every day, if you add up other shootings. Biden said, “Every single day there’s a mass shooting in the United States if you count all those who are killed out on the streets of our cities and our rural areas.” He went on to claim that gun owners support universal background checks and suggested the “majority” of gun owners “think we should not be selling ‘assault weapons.'” While making his comments, Biden asked, “Who in God’s name...

    The Arizona Senate is poised to begin a major audit of over two million ballots cast in the 2020 election in the state's largest county, a process the state Senate president claims has been stymied by county officials and which the county claims rests on legally uncertain ground. Senate subpoenas to the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors for information and equipment needed to perform the audit have been pending since Dec. 15, 2020 and were upheld by a judge on Feb. 25. In mid-March, the state Senate announced that Republicans in that chamber would be conducting a "broad and detailed"...

    The mother of a black Kentucky woman shot by police last year claimed this week that Black Lives Matter is a "fraud" organization and that activists have exploited her daughter's death for financial gain. Tamika Palmer, the mother of the late Breonna Taylor who was gunned down during an alleged no-knock raid by police last year, said in a Facebook post this week that she has "watched [people] raise money on behalf of Breonna's family who has never done a damn thing for us" and that she "could walk in a room full of people who claim to be here...

    Rana Abdelhamid also works for Google as a "global marketing and partnerships lead." Rana for Congress A​ Muslim activist ​who wants to defund the police and has accused the NYPD of “state-sanctioned violence” is seeking to unseat veteran Democratic US Rep. Carolyn Maloney — by following the same playbook that propelled Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez into Congress. Rana Abdelhamid, 27, of Queens — a member of the AOC-backing Democratic Socialists of America — announced her campaign Tuesday with the backing of the influential “Justice Democrats” group, which now has a click-through fundraising message for her at the top of its website.

    In the wake of another senseless shooting yesterday we can expect progressive attacks on our Second Amendment freedom to become even more shrill and frenetic. That is why now is a good time to go back to basics. In this essay I will explain the history and theoretical underpinnings of the Second Amendment and discuss why it continues to be vitally important in both of its functions – ensuring the right of law abiding citizens to defend against both private violence and public violence.The Theoretical Underpinnings of the Right to Keep and Bear ArmsThe United States Supreme Court has held...

    Would you pay more than 100 million dollars for a single deli in rural New Jersey that had less than $36,000 in sales during the last two years combined? I know that sounds like a completely ridiculous question, but the stock market apparently thinks that deli is worth that much. On Thursday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed above 34,000 for the first time in history, and investors all over the country cheered. But this financial bubble is not real. It is a giant mirage that is built on a foundation of fraud. Investors have lost all touch with reality,...

    On Thursday, Facebook decided to censor a New York Post article about Black Lives Matter co-founder, Patrisse Cullors, a "trained Marxist" who has come under heavy criticism for the hypocrisy in her buying a $1.4 million home in a largely white neighborhood. The piece in question, by Isabel Vincent, from April 10, reported that "Marxist BLM leader buys $1.4 million home in ritzy LA enclave."Facebook used the oft-repeated reasoning of "violating community standards." Specifically, "This content was removed for violating our privacy and personal information policy."An Inquire piece from Shant Mesrobian and Zaid Jilani confirms the ban is worldwide. Vincent's...
  • The power of Spam: How a canned meat went from wartime necessity to Hawaii delicacy

    In 1937, in Austin, Minnesota, Hormel Foods combined pork, water, salt, sugar and sodium nitrate, looking for a way to profit off the then-undesirable pork shoulder. The result was a nonperishable slab of pink meat, conveniently packaged in 12-ounce cans. As the story goes, Jay Hormel crossed the words "spice" and "ham" to name the invention "Spam." But if the pork product was invented in Minnesota, how did it come to be so uniquely celebrated in Hawaii? When I lived on the island of Oahu for two months this year, Spam was everywhere — in cafes that specialize in Spam...

    The Biden Administration Department of Health and Human Services announced it will reverse the Trump Administration’s “Protect Life” rule for receiving federal family planning aid, calling it “not in the best interest of public health.” The rule barred the use of taxpayer dollars to fund abortions and did not require “no kill” family assistance organizations to refer patients to abortion providers. Secretary Xavier Becerra explained that “the entities the Trump rule protected are not entitled to the consideration he mandated. Fetuses have no rights which the government is obligated to respect. The assertion that they are unborn people is debatable....

    African American churchgoers are more likely to politically identify as Democrat than the overall African American population, according to a report by the Barna Group. In the report released Thursday, Barna found that while around two-thirds of all black adults considered themselves Democrat, a little over three-quarters of churchgoing blacks said the same. Sixty-seven percent of all African American adults said they were Democrat, while 19% said independent, 8% said they had no affiliation, and 6% said Republican. By contrast, 76% of African American churchgoers said they were Democrat, while 14% said they were independent, 5% said they were Republican...
