Morrissey has hit out at The Simpsons, after The Smiths were sent up in the show’s latest episode. The episode, titled Panic On The Streets of Springfield, aired last night (April 19), and saw Lisa getting a new imaginary friend – a depressed indie singer from 1980s Britain. ADVERTISING While the show stopped short of getting Morrissey onboard to voice the character, they instead enlisted the services of Benedict Cumberbatch to voice him, alongside a series of 80s-inspired songs written by Flight Of The Conchords Bret McKenzie. Advertisement Hours after the episode aired, a statement on Morrissey’s Facebook page said...

Five months after the presidential election, the Supreme Court said on Monday that it won't take up a case from several Republicans challenging changes to election rules in the battleground state of Pennsylvania. The unsigned ruling sends yet another message that the court's majority has no interest in relitigating the last election. Before Monday, the justices had already declined several requests to dive into one of the most litigious elections in history, denying petitions from then-President Donald Trump and other Republicans seeking to overturn election result in multiple states President Joe Biden won.

Facebook cofounder Dustin Moskovitz has poured over $5 million into a network of nonprofits run by Black Lives Matter leader Patrisse Cullors, according to financial disclosure records, raising questions about whether this relationship played a role in the company's decision to censor unflattering news articles about the activist last week. The social media giant blocked its users from posting links to a New York Post story that revealed Cullors, a self-described Marxist, spent $3.2 million on high-end real estate as her Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation raked in millions in donations. Facebook said the reporting violated its "privacy and...

Michigan Democrat state representative Jewell Jones was arrested and charged with a DUI, resisting arrest, and weapons possession, according to Fox News. The judge "released Jones ... on a $15,000 personal bond ... and ordered him to abstain from alcohol, illegal drugs, and recreational marijuana, submit to random drug and alcohol testing, and surrender to the Michigan State Police all weapons except those he needs for his Michigan National Guard duty." The 26-year-old politician's blood-alcohol level was "allegedly twice the legal limit, Fox News reports. Fox News states that Jones "resisted arrest when police arrived" and that "law enforcement also...

Case centers on whether recipients of Temporary Protected Status privileges are deemed to have been 'admitted' toThe Supreme Court is set to hear oral arguments Monday in a potential landmark immigration case that could dramatically alter the fortunes of thousands currently living in the U.S. after fleeing countries with Temporary Protected Status (TPS). The U.S. designates certain countries for TPS if they are deemed dangerous due to conditions such as earthquakes, hurricanes, civil war or other armed conflict or other "extraordinary and temporary conditions." People from such countries who are already in the U.S. after entering illegally can receive privileges,...

Many like to point out the evil that is going on in our streets, in our boardrooms and in the halls of power in Washington, but often some of the most horrific crimes that are happening in our society are taking place in our scientific laboratories. For years, the U.S. government funded the use of “fresh” aborted babies in experiments that created bizarre human-mouse hybrids for “scientific research” purposes. And now we are learning that U.S. scientists have created human-monkey hybrid embryos for the first time ever. According to NPR, these embryos were created in order “to find new ways...

Two Hundred and Forty-six years ago we stood up and kicked Redcoat butt from Lexington and Concord all the way back to Boston. Remember our Patriots Today. Post comments and reflections here.

What will be the results of a Pelosi/Biden government? Many think there will be inflation. Milton Friedman taught us that “Inflation is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon, in the sense that it cannot occur without a more rapid increase in the quantity of money than in output.” The $2Trillion Covid relief plus the !5% minimum wage plus the forgiveness of college loans all pump money into the economy. Those actions are the very definition of monetary phenomena. The Bureau of Economic Analysis keeps us informed on the inflation rate but fails in one respect. The inflation information provided leaves...

The region of Hail in Saudi Arabia was buried in several inches of ice on Saturday after severe thunderstorms battered the area. Videos circulating on social media showed thick dark clouds enveloping the sky and blocks of hail on the ground. Omar Dajani, meteorologist at Jordan-based ArabiaWeather network, said that the hailstorm hit southwestern Hail in Saudi Arabia in the afternoon. “This is hail, not snow, and the temperature was high, around 28 degrees Celsius, when the storm hit,” he added. Photographer Abdullah al-Suleimi said shared pictures of the desert covered in a thick layer of hail in Al-Uthmour Bahrah...

At this point in the pandemic, there is more good news than bad. Yet, our leading health officials are doing everything they can to convince the public otherwise. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released a study late last week that says almost half of all U.S. adults have received at least one vaccine shot. More than 80% of vulnerable senior citizens have received one vaccine shot, and more than 65% of seniors have been fully vaccinated. In other words, herd immunity is well within reach — if we haven’t reached it already — and the most at-risk population...

The national lynch mob has claimed another victim. Kim Potter a 26-year veteran of the Brooklyn Center police force with a stellar record of protecting the city’s residents has been arrested, assigned a $100,000 bail bond and charged with second-degree manslaughter. All in the absence of an investigation of the facts—in other words, without a scintilla of due process. But that is the essence of a lynching. First the verdict, then the trial. Or else. No justice, no peace. Because the lynch mob includes the corrupt media, even the circumstances of the shooting of Daunte Wright at a traffic stop...

The fact that we don’t know this officer’s name is concerning enough, but what’s equally concerning is that we don’t even know what agency he belongs to. Was this officer part of the Capitol Police force? Well, the secrecy surrounding the case would suggest that yes perhaps he was, but we’re only speculating. Everything is a mystery when it comes to the Capitol Police because they operate under a totally different set of rules. Thanks to their buddies in Congress, the U.S. Capitol Police do not follow the same public reporting or transparency protocols that most other major police forces...

President Joe Biden plans to meet with Republican Sens. Mitt Romney (R-UT) and John Hoeven (R-ND) at the White House on Monday, to discuss his proposed $2.5 trillion spending plan. Democrat Sens. John Hickenlooper (D-CO) and Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), as well as Sen. Angus King (I-ME), will join in on the meeting. House members will include Democrats Reps. Emanuel Cleaver (D-MO), Charlie Crist (D-FL) and Norma Torres (D-CA). Reps. Carlos Giménez (R-FL) and Kay Granger (R-TX) will represent Republicans.

“Now the centurion, and those who were with him . . . became very frightened and said, ‘Truly this was the Son of God!’” (Matthew 27:54). The testimony of the soldiers after Jesus’ crucifixion demonstrates the sufficiency of His death for all sinners. Most of the time our daily activities are dictated by the routine responsibilities of our jobs. That’s how it was for the Roman soldiers who stood at the foot of the cross when Jesus gave up His life. They were there simply out of duty, to make sure the crucifixion was carried out properly and without interference....

The NBA Commissioner is scrambling right now, trying to get rid of any and all BLM and political messaging from his league, as the entire bottom begins falling out of the National Basketball Association. So, what’s happened to the King James NBA? Well, for starters, LeBron has absolutely destroyed it, top-to-bottom and inside out. LeBron James has proudly and arrogantly led the NBA down the doomed SJW path, not giving a damn what the fans, who pay his salary, thought about it. Once again, US organizations and corporations read the room wrong and jumped into full “BLM” support after the...

There’s something strange going on right now and it involves the GOP establishment trying very hard to assert its self, and it’s such a big push, that they’ve even enlisted that traitor George W. Bush to help. The GOP establishment has declared another “War” on America First "MAGA." And GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy is leading the troops. Look what he recently posted - a message that makes America First patriots sound like racists. This is a message that easily could have been written by Nancy Pelosi herself: “America is built on the idea that we are all created equal and...

The Russian diplomats are suspected of being intelligence operatives involved in an explosion at a Czech arms depot in 2014 which killed two people. Two Russians suspected of carrying out a nerve agent attack in the UK in 2018 are now also being linked to the blast. EU foreign ministers are due to discuss the accusations. Moscow has given the Czech diplomats a day to leave, while the Czech Republic has given the Russians 72 hours. Russia's foreign ministry called the Czech decision "unprecedented" and a "hostile act".
