Then they came for Jesus. It was not enough for Black Lives Matter types and assorted other thugs and vandals to deface and/or topple statues of America’s founders last summer. They then decided to cancel Jesus, too. They defaced a statue of the Lord in Whitefish, Montana, and decapitated another outside a Catholic church in Miami, Florida. In addition, many Christian churches around the country have been the victims of vandalism and malicious attack. These domestic terrorists have been aided, abetted and praised by leading Democrats at every step. Democrats who believe those who wish to conserve America’s statues, history...

I missed this Saturday, but it’s something everyone in America should be required to watch. – Bill Maher is mainly just another leftist propagandist talking head on your TV screen, but every once in a while he strays from the prevailing Democrat/media narrative, engages his own brain and speaks actual logic and facts about some topic or another. Whenever that happens, it’s generally worth listening to. Friday night, he went off on liberals and the rank disinformation they have bought into regarding COVID-19. He also excoriated the corrupt propaganda media for being guilty of systematically pounding that disinformation into the...

Scientists have unveiled a new sweat sensor that can anticipate a looming cytokine storm and provide warning to doctors and patients. Cytokine storms feature a surge of pro-inflammatory immune proteins. They can be triggered by a variety of infections, including COVID-19 and the flu. Studies have linked cytokine storms with more severe COVID-19 infections. Developers are scheduled to present the new wristwatch-like device Friday at the spring meeting of the American Chemical Society. The presentation will be streamed online at 5:15 p.m. EDT. "Especially now in the context of COVID-19, if you could monitor pro-inflammatory cytokines and see them trending...

Back in 2014, I wrote a book titled "The Murder of the Middle Class." Don't look now, but it's happening. Back then, I was referring only to the murder of middle-class jobs and the American Dream. Today, Democrats appear to want the middle class eliminated altogether. They're not just after our jobs; they're playing Russian roulette with our lives. I'm dead serious (excuse the pun). Biden -- or, more likely, the real decision-makers behind the man who resembles a braindead puppet -- really does appear to be carrying out the murder of the middle class. Let's start with COVID-19. If...

Once the Democrats pack the Siupreme Court, what legislation would be beyond the bounds of radical woke tyranny? Democrats seek an increase membership on the Supreme Court of the United States from nine to 13. At present, the high court is divided among 6 Republican appointees and three Democrat appointees. The four additional justices, presumably to be named by Biden, would change the divide to 7 Democrat appointees and 6 Republicans. But considering the drift of Chief Justice John Roberts toward the liberal clique, the actual division on the high court is five conservatives and four liberals. SNIP A Supreme...

Democrats love teachers, even when they fail. And they hate the police, no matter how much good they do. But they do each for the very same reason: control. It is important conservatives begin to recognize this reason so they can counter it before it’s too late. When teachers fail, and across the country they fail in large numbers and for generations, what is the response from Democrats? They need more money. School systems have been failing children, generally in Democrat controlled cities, for decades, and every single time test results are announced the solution proposed by those Democrats and...

We live in a continually changing world, with new concepts and ways of developing practical arguments and evaluating moral truths on race, sex, and sexual issues. Today, those ways are seen through the prism of racial justice, emphasized in colonial and post-colonial studies, Critical Race Theory, intersectionality, queer studies, gender studies. These are part of the present obsession with race and sex. At the heart is the pessimistic, postmodernist contention critical of the possibility of objectivity, questioning whether there can be reliable knowledge about a reality that exists independently of human perception. There is a prevailing sensibility of new fundamentalisms...

“There is literally is nothing more important to my dad than his family..... (Republicans) thought they would be able to distract my dad enough that he wouldn’t be able to focus on the campaign. And they had the exact opposite effect,” Hunter said Journo Jong-Fast asked Biden about his dealings with energy companies in Ukraine and China, the subject of Trump’s attacks. “Vadim Pozharskyi, the Burisma executive, thanked you in an email ‘for giving me the opportunity to meet your father and spend some time with him’. Did you in fact introduce the two, did they meet, and what was...

The Queen wiped away tears and was forced to mourn alone away from her family in St George's Chapel during Prince Philip's Covid-hit Windsor Castle funeral today as she said an emotional final goodbye to her 'strength and stay' after their extraordinary 73-year life together. Her Majesty looked grief-stricken and bowed her head in reverence as she accompanied her beloved husband's coffin on its final journey while their eldest son Prince Charles cried as he walked behind the casket into church followed by other devastated royals. The Duke of Edinburgh's coffin was covered in his personal standard and carried his...

President Biden Friday demanded the Republicans in the Senate move on passing gun background check legislation, calling the string of mass shootings and gun violence a "national embarrassment." Biden pushed the Senate to take a vote on House-passed legislation that would expand background checks and close certain loopholes. "I strongly, strongly urge my Republican friends in the Congress who refuse to bring up the House-passed bill to bring it up now," Biden said. "This has to end. It's a national embarrassment." Speaking at a joint White House press conference Friday with Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga, Biden was pressed on...

No. 2 Senate Republican John Thune (S.D.) admitted that many of his colleagues actually like Biden, which makes is more difficult to define him as a radical. “His tone is moderate and he’s an affable person, he’s a likeable individual and a lot of us know him, have relationships with him and it’s probably harder to attack somebody who is relatable and likeable,” Thune said. “Moderate” tone? Biden has repeatedly characterized the Georgia voter ID law as “Jim Crow 2.0”. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (K.y.) even said he and Biden “have been friends for a long time”, and Sen....

Coming into the 2020-21 season, NBA games on ABC — the league’s most important partner — were down 45% since 2011-12. On cable, it’s only slightly less damning. NBA broadcasts on TNT were down 40% and 20% on ESPN.To stick with more recent trends, the past two NBA Finals crashed to double-digit declines, with the most recent falling down 51% to an all-time record low. Last season’s NBA on ABC games fit that same category, recording the lowest average (2.95 million) on record. According to The Athletic’s Ethan Strauss, that record will break once again this season.

**SNIP** “We’re looking for a guilty verdict” in Derek Chauvin’s trial for the police killing of George Floyd, where deliberations will begin next week, she said. “And if we don’t, we cannot go away,” she added. “We’ve got to get more confrontational.” Asked about the curfew, she said, “I don’t know what curfew means,” according to another tweeted clip. “A curfew means that ‘I want y’all to stop talking,'” she said, adding, “I don’t agree with it.” Waters said she wouldn’t stay out at the protest much longer personally - but she urged everyone else to keep at it. “I...

The former employee who shot and killed eight people at a FedEx facility in Indianapolis was interviewed by FBI agents last year, after his mother called police to say that her son might commit “suicide by cop,” the bureau said Friday. Coroners released the names of the victims late Friday, a little less than 24 hours after the latest mass shooting to rock the U.S. Four of them were members of Indianapolis' Sikh community. The attack was another blow to the Asian American community a month after six people of Asian descent were killed in a mass shooting in the...

On Wednesday, Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee voted to recommend the creation of a commission to consider reparations for the Black descendants of U.S. slaves. First introduced in 1989 by Rep. John Conyers of Michigan, H.R. 40 had never made it out of committee until this week.

Jerrold Nadler , Judiciary Committee chairman, said . “H.R. 40 is intended to begin a national conversation about how to confront the brutal mistreatment of African Americans during chattel slavery, Jim...

he Czech Republic is informing its NATO and European Union allies about suspected Russian involvement in a 2014 ammunition depot explosion and will discuss the matter at an EU foreign ministers' meeting on Monday, acting Foreign Minister Jan Hamacek said on Twitter on Sunday. The central European country expelled 18 Russian embassy staff on Saturday and said that investigations linked Russian intelligence to the explosion, which killed two people. The expulsions and allegations by Prague have triggered its biggest dispute with Russia since the end of the communist era in 1989. The Interfax news agency cited Vladimir Dzhabarov, first deputy...
