PITTSBURGH — Planning to hit the road for your summer vacation? Gas stations across the country could run out of gas this summer, but not because of a shortage of crude oil or gasoline. It’s because of a driver shortage for tanker trucks, according to CNN. According to the National Tank Truck Carriers, up to 25% of tank trucks are parked leading up to summer because of a lack of qualified drivers.

His duplicity goes back a long, long way. He testified against his fellow soldiers- testifying to things he never witnessed. His third Purple Heart has a dubious justification. The Swift Boat Vets I knew looked upon him in less than a positive light to say the least. He never stopped being an effete prig. He got worse. He undermined his President. Iran is the world's leading sponsor of terrorism, and they have a friend in John Kerry. In February, it was learned that Kerry worked to undermine President Donald Trump. President Trump in 2019 sought to open a back channel...

Today, new information about Brown’s shooting death has been revealed by District Attorney Andrew Womble that could be a game-changer. Andrew Brown Jr. hit deputies with his car before they fired shots that killed him, a prosecutor said Wednesday. District Attorney Andrew Womble told a judge at a hearing Wednesday that he viewed body camera video and disagreed with the characterization by attorneys for the family of Brown Jr. that his car was stationary when the shooting started. Womble said the video shows that Brown´s car made contact with law enforcement twice before shots could be heard on the video....

Donald Trump’s popularity among registered Republicans has fallen in the 100 days since the end of his presidency, according to a recent poll. The NBC News poll found that Republican support for the party was greater than the support for the former president, who was favoured by 44 per cent of Republicans. The figure for registered Republicans in favour of the party over the former president, in comparison, was at 50 per cent. It was the first time in almost two years that support for the Republican party was greater than that for Mr Trump, NBC News reported, and the...

As someone who once considered myself Never Trump, I feel well qualified to comment on the activities of those who still cling to that label after the 2020 election. For rational people who are not trying to cling to accumulated power or trying to recover their influence, Never Trump was over on election night 2016. It was either going to be President Clinton II or President Trump, and in hindsight, I am glad it was the latter. Did I love every tweet? No. However, I did find some of the reactions to them hysterical. And no matter what I thought...

Eric Adams, a former NYPD officer running for New York City mayor, has been differentiating himself from the Democratic field as a pro-public safety candidate who sees more police as part of the solution. In an interview with New York Magazine published Tuesday, Adams said the "defund the police" movement is led not by people of color in the Big Apple, but rather by young white professionals. "Now, this is really being led by a different demographic," Adams said. "There are a lot of young white affluent people who are coming in and setting the conversation." So far, only one...

The Conservative Message is NOT getting out there It's no wonder our youth believe in socialism (Democratic Party etc). It's taught in schools, pushed by the media from every angle. Sure this site and other easily put out information that reverses all the disinformation....but who is reading it. Very few I suspect outside of our ranks. The WSJ is the closest we have but they barely lean right....most of this is in their Opinions section. We need a better way to fight back!

Taken at face value, U.S. Ambassador to the UN Linda Thomas-Greenfield’s condemnation of the United States in a speech last week before Al Sharpton’s National Action Network was one of the most bizarre statements made by a diplomat—from the U.S. or, indeed, from anywhere—in recent years. In her remarks, Thomas-Greenfield castigated the U.S. as inherently, irredeemably evil. “I have seen for myself how the original sin of slavery weaved white supremacy into our founding documents and principles,” America’s woman at the United Nations said. While bizarre to the uninformed, it turns out Thomas-Greenfield’s remarks were simply her stump speech. She...

India marked a grim milestone Wednesday with 200,000 people lost to COVID-19 — as a relentless surge of new cases overwhelms hospitals, sends families searching for oxygen supplies, and has seen parking lots in the capital, New Delhi, converted into crematoriums. The health ministry reported a single-day record of 3,293 deaths in the last 24 hours, bringing the world’s second-most populous country’s total fatalities to 201,187.

FOURTH WEEK OF EASTER JOHN 12:44–50 Friends, in today’s Gospel, Jesus makes it clear once again that he and the Father are one. God is not a force or an energy or a spiritual presence occupying the deep background of your life; he’s not something that you can tap into when you feel like it. Nor is God a distant supreme being who organized the universe long ago and now leaves it to its own devices. Rather, God is the Lord. He is the commander, the ruler, the governor, the one who makes a demand and who then involves himself...

A bill in the Nevada state legislature would strike the term mother and father on birth certificates and authorize an unlimited number of adults to be listed. “We need to contact the Senate Judiciary Members and urge them to oppose AB 115,” the Nevada Family Alliance, a program of Capitol Resource Institute,” said in a statement. “The passing of this bill could bring complicated and dangerous implications for parents across Nevada.” The bill was heard this week in the Senate Judiciary Committee. It already passed in the Assembly, where it was sponsored by Assemblywoman Cecelia González (see image), a Democrat....

Prosecutors obtained the warrant as part of an investigation into whether Mr. Giuliani broke lobbying laws as President Trump’s personal lawyer. Federal investigators in Manhattan executed a search warrant on Wednesday at the Upper East Side apartment of Rudolph W. Giuliani, the former New York City mayor who became President Donald J.

One of the people said the investigators had seized Mr. Giuliani’s electronic devices. Executing a search warrant is an extraordinary move for prosecutors to take against...

HONG KONG, April 28 – Hong Kong’s legislature passed on Wednesday a controversial immigration bill, which lawyers, diplomats and right groups fear will give authorities unlimited powers to prevent residents and others from entering or leaving the Chinese-ruled city. The government has dismissed those fears as “complete nonsense,” saying the legislation, which will come into effect on Aug. 1, merely aims to screen illegal immigrants at source amid a backlog of asylum applications and does not affect constitutional rights of free movement.

For Islam to be true, God would have to be mutable minutes Choose one or the other: this or...Could those who blindly follow Muhammad as their heaven-sent prophet and leader and adhere to Islam as the one divinely revealed religion and the only true way to salvation possibly be deceived by Satan? The answer is yes. (Listen up, Francis.) City Journal published an article by Theodore Dalrymple (pen name of Dr Anthony Daniels) titled When Islam Breaks Down. Dalrymple said, “No Muslim in an Islamic society would dare to suggest that the Quran was not divinely dictated through the mouth...

ATLANTA, GA—CDC officials have released official guidelines and recommendations for activity during the pandemic. At the top of the list is a request for people to stop giving them wedgies every time they pass them on the street. "You all need to stop this immature behavior right now!" said CDC official Mortimer Herbie Jr. as he adjusted his glasses and retainer. "Also, stop shoving us in lockers and giving us swirlies and grabbing us by our ankles and shaking us upside down until our lunch money falls out! This is NOT cool you guys!"

A new study from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis has identified a gene – called SVEP1 – that makes a protein that influences the risk of coronary artery disease independent of cholesterol. SVEP1 induces proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells in the development of atherosclerosis. Shown is a stained section of atherosclerotic plaque from a mouse aorta, the largest artery in the body. Vascular smooth muscle cells are red; proliferating cells are cyan; nuclei of any cell are blue.

Under Joe Biden’s current leadership, it’s becoming apparent how the administration is failing to deliver what they promised, namely a so-called “better America” than that of President Trump. A recent Yahoo News report found 10 areas where the Biden administration has done far more harm than good. The report explained how the United States Postal Service’s (USPS) law enforcement arm known as the Internet Covert Program (ICOP) proves Biden’s America is invading the rights of citizens nationwide. The surveillance effort involves analysts combing through social media sites looking for posts deemed as threatening, which are then sent to other government...
