In this installment of the weekly conversation, PF Whalen and Parker Beauregard of The Blue State Conservative comment on the silence from Black Lives Matter and other Defund The Police movements that allege to hate police brutality but are deafeningly silent following 99% of killings. Are we witnessing true outrage or just selective outrage?Parker: I would take the anti-police crowd seriously if they demonstrated a consistent outrage over police shootings and killings. It’s an insane and indefensible position to seek police reform by way of removing their budget or firearms, but at least we would know they mean it. Case...

WASHINGTON, D.C.—To fund the Biden Administration's infrastructure spending bill, Democrats are proposing a new tax on the treasures Americans have laid up in heaven. "It has come to our attention that some Americans have chosen to lay up their treasure in heaven instead of here on earth," said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. "Americans who use heaven as a tax shelter are unpatriotic and aren't paying their fair share. We must address this problem." According to biblical sources, Christians in heaven currently enjoy mansions, crowns, and streets of gold-- all tax-free. Their religious teachings actually encourage them to forgo amassing earthly...

The Irreligious Priorities of the Biden Administration Secretary of State Tony Blinken’s dismissal of a “hierarchy” of rights is telling.One of the marks of modern liberalism is its tendency to promote invented rights while denying real ones. As the Founding Fathers argued, rights derive not from government but from God, and the test of the legitimacy of a government is whether or not it respects those God-given rights. Modern liberalism’s conception of rights rests on a far different philosophy, one that has its source not in God but in the caprice of central planners, government bureaucrats, overreaching judges, and globalist...

VIDEOCNN reporter Sara Sidner on Sunday's "Reliable Sources" proclaimed that everybody now has their own TV station. And one of those TV stations rendered poor Sara hilariously speechless as you can see here. Yes, the mere mention of Project Veritas can now render any CNN reporter speechless, even Jim Acosta. Don't believe me? Then try it for yourself.

[Catholic Caucus] Good Shepherd Sunday: A parishioner’s praise of her two persecuted parish priestsLet us all show our love and gratitude to all the courageous and faithful pastors this coming Good Shepherd Sunday.April 16, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) — To the glorious sacred hymn sung by the parish’s justly celebrated choir, the lone priest appeared and slowly processed down the main aisle to the high altar, unaccompanied by the usual cortege of numerous long-robed altar servers proudly bearing the golden cross and gently swinging the incense burner. “I had tears in my eyes,” said Marie, my friend and fellow parishioner; “he looked...

Another prosecutor in the State's Attorney's office said there was an internal perception that Murphy was being “thrown under the bus"A Chicago-based prosecutor was placed on paid leave Friday for failing to mention in a statement that Adam Toledo, 13, had dropped the handgun he was holding before he was shot by a Chicago police officer, the Cook County State’s Attorney’s office announced."In court last week, an attorney in our office failed to fully present the facts surrounding the death of a 13-year-old boy," State’s Attorney Kim Foxx’s spokeswoman Sarah Sinovic said Saturday. She was referring to an April 10...

n October 2016, the United States Strategic Capabilities Office launched 103 Perdix drones out of an F/A-18 Super Hornet. The drones communicated with one another using a distributed brain, assembling into a complex formation, traveling across a battlefield, and reforming into a new formation. The swarm over China Lake, California was the sort of “cutting-edge innovation” that would keep America ahead of its adversaries, a Defense Department press release quoted then Secretary of Defense Ash Carter as saying. But the Pentagon buried the lede: The Strategic Capabilities Office did not actually create the swarm; engineering students at the Massachusetts Institute...

According to Russian Deputy Prime Minister Yuri Borisov’s administration, the timeframe of the station’s operations has expired and its condition leaves much to be desired. "Lately, reports about technical malfunctions have been coming more often. In order to avoid any risks in case of accidents, it’s necessary to carry out a technical inspection of the station. After this, a decision should be made."

The crusade to entrench "equitable math" as THE way to teach math is gaining steam in California. A training manual training manual funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation lays out the critical "problems" with unwoke mathematics. These are (1) a focus on getting the right answer, (2) independent thinking and problem solving, (3) grading students based on their performance and knowledge, and (4) requiring students to show their work. California Department of Education Superintendent Tony Thurmond described traditional math as "extremely intimidating and, frankly, of dubious value in our modern world. Let's face it, not everyone can handle...

History MUST be taught in the public schools, or shut 'em down

There won't be an "America First" caucus in the US House after all. Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene let go of the idea in the face of quick, broad opposition from members of both parties to the group's apparent founding document. Greene then tried to put space between her and the platform, the Wall Street Journal reports, saying it was "a staff level draft proposal from an outside group that I hadn't read." The document called for adherence to "Anglo-Saxon political traditions," going so far as to endorse the use of European architecture in US infrastructure. Republican House leaders Kevin...

Two men died after a Tesla 'on autopilot with no one driving' crashed into a tree in Houston before starting a huge fire that took 32,000 gallons of water to extinguish. The fully-electric 2019 Tesla Model S slammed into the tree in Carlton Woods at around 11.25pm on Saturday night before bursting into flames with the passengers still inside. Harris County Precinct 4 Constable Mark Herman said an investigation had found that 'no one was driving' when the accident happened, with one man sitting in the passenger seat at the front and the second sitting in the back. Officials told...

World powers should draw "clear red lines" with Russia and consider possible sanctions against Moscow when they're crossed, French President Emmanuel Macron told U.S. news network CBS in an interview. "We have to define clear red lines with Russia," Macron said, according to a video excerpt of the interview to be aired later on Sunday. "This is the only way to be credible. Sanctions are not sufficient in themselves but sanctions are part of the package," he said, adding that he also agreed with U.S. President Joe Biden's willingness to open a dialog with Russian President Vladimir Putin at a...

One man was blocked by BLM protesters in Stillwater, Minnesota on his way home. When the man got out of his car he was shoved by the Black Lives Matter goons. When he pushed back the local police rushed in arrest the man on his way to his home. WTH was that?

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said that people who have been vaccinated against the CCP virus should “act immune” and pushed back against comments made by top U.S. health officials. DeSantis, a Republican, argued that if there is no change in mask requirements or social distancing, then people will view it as useless to get the vaccine. “My view is if you get a vaccine, the vaccines are effective, you’re immune, and so, act immune,” DeSantis told a crowd in Lakeland, Florida, over the weekend. “I think the messaging is horrific,” DeSantis continued to say. “I think the messaging should be,...

"conservative women are particularly blissful: 40% say they are very happy. That makes them slightly happier than conservative men and significantly happier than liberal women. The unhappiest are liberal men; only a fifth consider themselves very happy"

Shakespeare wrote that “All the world’s a stage, And all the men and women merely players; They have their exits and their entrances…”, and our global stage right now, for watchers of bible prophecy, is a very crowded place alive with more end times activity than you could shake a stick it. In my mind’s eyes, I see Habakkuk up in Heaven right now, beaming from ear to ear, silently saying to himself, “yeah, the LORD used me to write that, wow.” Take, for example, the players in our story today, the fine folks from Global Citizen, truly an organization...
