President Joe Biden will sign a new executive order Tuesday that will raise the minimum wage for federal contract workers to $15 an hour, from the current rate of just under $11. The new order will be fully implemented by March 2022. The White House said that Biden’s planned action doesn’t include a past pledge to instate a new benefits package into federal contracts. Biden originally signed an executive order Jan. 22 that directed the Office of Management and Budget to provide him with options for both instituting a $15 minimum wage and providing “emergency paid leave to workers.” Pressed...

Our Founder and beloved friend, Dr. Judith Reisman, stepped into eternity on April 8, 2021 while doing what she loved: Working to protect children from sexualization and sexual exploitation brought about by the “Sexual Revolution” and its patriarch, Alfred Kinsey. Just moments after speaking with a student about research for her next book and sending an email seeking a grant for continuing her work, Dr. Reisman was escorted into heaven. God determined that her work on earth was finished and it was time for her heavenly reward. No doubt she was greeted with the words, “Well done good and faithful...

New moms selling breast milk they say has COVID antibodies by: Kim Posey Apr 26, 2021 DENVER (KDVR) — Some new moms are selling their breast milk online after getting vaccinated, and advertising that their milk has COVID antibodies. The website “Only the Breast” shows posts like that from across the country. One Denver ad says, “I received the first round of the Pfizer COVID vaccine at the beginning of April.” Another posts says the milk, ”contains strong COVID antibodies that are transferred to baby.” “If mom has been vaccinated, there is a great chance that maybe the antibodies will...

The Defense Department is tracking 14 cases of heart inflammation, or myocarditis, in military health patients who developed the condition after receiving either the Pfizer or Moderna COVID-19 vaccine. The rare disorder, usually caused by a virus, has been linked to COVID-19. But following a number of reports from Israel of patients developing the inflammation in conjunction with receiving vaccines, the Israeli Health Ministry is exploring a possible link, Israel's Channel 12 reported Friday, according to the Jerusalem Post. Myocarditis is an inflammation of the heart muscle, the myocardium, that can reduce the heart's ability to function or cause abnormal...

In these dire times, many are looking to the church to offer hope, but true hope and peace only come through conviction of sin and deep repentance. This is how we will truly change our nation. We can’t make bad people good; only God can do that. The term “Achilles’ heel” refers to an area of weakness and vulnerability. The American church today has an Achilles’ heel—a lack of prayer and powerful preaching. Both are vitally important to spiritual health. Sadly, many Christian leaders focus on image rather than intimacy with Christ, being woke instead of waking up from their...

An Australian television anchor is weighing in on Joe Biden’s cognitive decline. Chris Kenny of Sky News took note of Biden's performance at a climate summit last week with world leaders. Biden was the only world leader who participated remotely to wear a face mask and laid out his extreme agenda, vowing to reduce 52% of "greenhouse gas" emissions in less than a decade. Kenny did not mince his words about Biden. (Video in story)

Forty Democrats sent President Joe Biden a letter asking him to include more generous and long-lasting unemployment benefits in a brand new “anti-poverty” bill that the administration is expected to roll out next week.The radicals want Biden to propose a massive overhaul of the unemployment insurance system by mandating new federal standards in programs that are now basically run by states. They propose increasing the amount of jobless payments, extending the duration of the weekly benefit, expanding eligibility requirements, and creating a system that would more closely tie the payments to economic conditions.Recommended: Bernie Sanders’s Unemployment Handout Will Cost 13.9...

The Democrats made a big mistake by keeping former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii) out of the fold. Her message can and will resonate with an awful lot of people who have grown tired of absolutely everything being viewed through the lens of race. Gabbard took to Twitter to post a video begging people to stop the practice of what she calls “racialism.” Unlike racism, racialism is the blaming of every societal ill on racism until the message is totally lost. Example: Removing all people of color off of grocery packaging. It’s enough, already. “Please, please, let us stop the racialization...

The unending COVID regime isn't a nightmare scenario, it's an existential threat to our liberties, a possible and unexamined risk to our health, and right here among us.A plastic recycler in Louisville, Kentucky. A guide at a hiking camp in Alaska. A waitress at a restaurant in Houston, Texas. What do these companies have in common, besides being featured in a Monday Wall Street Journal story? Two things, both of which should worry anyone skeptical of injecting a novel vaccine with little-to-no long-term testing for possibly serious negative effects. For one, all three of these businesses require all of their...

On Sunday, news broke that a private interview that Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif had with an economist had been leaked to a London-based Persian news service, which then shared it with the New York Times. There are several interesting points to the conversation, with two of the most striking being (a) Javid’s acknowledging that Trump’s decision to assassinate Qassim Suleimani was a powerful strike against Iran and (b) a reminder of why the Biden administration is making a terrible mistake when it politicizes the American military.Regarding General Suleimani, Zarif effectively says that Trump could scarcely have come up...

Located just 60km from Rio de Janeiro, Marica has modelled itself into a very different city, paying residents a universal basic income, using its own digital currency and procuring its own vaccines. Marica, Brazil — More than a year into the COVID-19 pandemic, Brazil seems set on beating its own tragic records on a daily basis. By April, 4,000 Brazilians were dying every 24 hours — an average of one every 20 seconds — and many while waiting for beds in overcrowded intensive care units. Hundreds of hospitals were running out of intubation kits in what the country’s leading health...

As a 38-year-old American, I cannot recall a time in my adult life when the mainstream media peddled such blatant lies on a daily basis. As an amateur historian, I am also unaware of any period in modern American history in which the so-called news media routinely and unapologetically perpetuated falsehoods on such a grand scale.Most Americans realize the mainstream media are biased. According to recent polls, Americans’ trust in mass media has hit all-time lows.Before moving forward, perhaps we should review a few of the many lies perpetuated by the mainstream media over just the past few years.Remember the...

There can be no doubt that the drive-by media are pure propagandists. "Orange Man Bad" was just the latest installment in the slander campaign against patriots by those who have mostly achieved little, built little, and hate those who actually work to build better lives. Their campaign began as early as Woodrow Wilson's tenure, with early (1913) moves to concentrate power in D.C. through the income tax and in big banks with the Federal Reserve.This profound opposition became obvious after the departure of Dwight Eisenhower. With each succeeding Republican, new language was employed. Ronald Reagan was demeaned as an "amiable...

Liz Cheney is the Adam Kinzinger of Jeff Flakes…. The Wyoming representative has exposed her DeceptiCon credentials beyond any hope of recovery. Her opposition to President Trump and the base sentiment within the pragmatic conservative movement has sealed her fate. Despite her leadership position in congress the establishement know she is a lame-duck walking.Liz Cheney’s upcoming defeat in the 2022 primary is a foregone conclusion. Put a fork in her, she’s done. Cheney knows this. The RNC know this. The GOPe and DeceptiCon leadership know this, and quite a few democrats who support her know this. That is the accurate...

Watch Bannon’s War Room 10 AM Eastern.

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn’s The Gulag Achipelago is a gripping account of the veritable hell inflicted on the Russian populace through the rise and establishment of Soviet Communism, and presents much insight into mentalities in play in our own time and in our own country. As the pages progress through the eyewitness accounts, a reader who strives to be civilized might find himself struggling with disbelief that what is being presented is true and accurate, that this is not some exaggeration, not some plot for Hollywood’s latest horror flick that would make Friday the Thirteenth seem appropriate for children, that it was...

The black man shot dead during a police raid on his North Carolina home was a known drug dealer — with a 30-year rap sheet stretching more than 180 pages, according to records. Andrew Brown Jr. — who was shot dead last Wednesday in a car outside his Elizabeth City home — had the lengthy rap sheet dating back to May 1988, according to a search warrant and other records obtained by Fox News.
