Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina made an eloquent, uplifting speech on behalf of Republicans, in response to Joe Biden's quasi state of the union address. He spoke of racial grievances, real ones, including a recent instance when the Washington Post's bigfoot fact-checker Glenn Kessler attempted to debunk Scott's impoverished background in the Jim Crow South as somehow 'privileged,' with revolting claims that Scott "had it easy," which was beyond horsehockey. Scott left egg all over Kessler's face.Scott spoke kindly of single mothers, such as his own. He spoke of his own failures and successes, and he blasted Biden for...

First, learn what racism is, and what it’s not. I need White people to understand that all White people are racist. Admit it, and let’s move onto the business of repairing and healing the country. We can’t do it without you. Yes my dears, all White people are racists. All. Of. Them. Here is where you stop to cry, clutch your pearls, rant and rave aloud to tell me how wrong I am, and to tell me not all White people. I’m doing reverse racism (there’s no such thing as reverse racism), and you’re ready to do tit for tat...

Biden supposedly got 81 million votes in the 2020 presidential election, yet the online reaction to his first presidential address to Congress on Wednesday night was not good for him. It doesn't appear to have been highly anticipated, based on how few Americans actually tuned into the live streams to watch him. And now a new CNN poll reveals that his first address underperformed President Donald Trump's from last year.

Having done much research into India and its problems with Covid, I have learned much. India is in trouble, and it is not getting much help. Not enough anyway. Yes we have our own problems, but can't we at least pray for these people. It is true they have continued with their festivals of religion in large numbers. But many do not understand the dangers of Covid. Many fear it in ways that are beyond the pale. We are throwing away money here in the US like no tomorrow, but where India is concerned we send "beads for the natives"....

America’s Real White Supremacy Problem White liberals have appointed themselves as the supreme moral consciousness. Only they can “fight” white supremacy because, from their perches, they reign supreme.In comparing Nazis to dinosaurs, a movie critic once quipped: “They both make great villains because they’re both scary and extinct.” It’s unlikely we will ever need to build a hidden compartment in our attics to hide from the Gestapo or an electrified fortress to escape an errant tyrannosaurus rex. Hating and campaigning against Nazis takes zero courage and zero sacrifice in 2021. What products must you boycott to place economic pressure on...

After the jury’s recent verdict of the George Floyd case was made public, and former police officer Derek Chauvin was found guilty of Floyd’s murder, President Joe Biden said that the death of Floyd “ripped the blinders off for the whole world to see” the “systemic racism that is a stain on our nation’s soul.”President Biden is mistaken when identifying the stain.The real stain on the soul of our nation is the rejection of God from our educational system. Most teachers are dedicated, caring professionals committed to their students’ growth and learning. But many are trapped by an inflexible, bureaucratic...

The Courage of Our ConvictionsHow to fight critical race theoryCritical race theory is fast becoming America’s new institutional orthodoxy. Yet most Americans have never heard of it—and of those who have, many don’t understand it. This must change. We need to know what it is so we can know how to fight it.To explain critical race theory, it helps to begin with a brief history of Marxism. Originally, the Marxist Left built its political program on the theory of class conflict. Karl Marx believed that the primary characteristic of industrial societies was the imbalance of power between capitalists and workers....

MEMORIAL OF SAINT CATHERINE OF SIENA JOHN 13:16–20 Friends, in today’s Gospel, Jesus pointedly calls us to humble behavior. “Amen, amen, I say to you, no slave is greater than his master nor any messenger greater than the one who sent him. If you understand this, blessed are you if you do it.” St. Catherine of Siena once heard the Lord say to her, “Remember that I AM and you are not.” And St. Paul said, “What do you possess that you have not received? But if you have received it, why are you boasting?” To believe in God is...

On this date in 1972, (former) King Ntare V of Burundi was summarily executed at the outset of the 1972 genocide of ethnic Hutus. He was the son of Mwambutsa IV, whose half-century reign dated all the way back to the German colonial period which gave way (in 1916) to the Belgian colonial period and finally to independence in 1962. He had a job all the while to manage relations between the majority Hutus and the elite Tutsis: it was this conflict that would write the unpleasant end of this family’s dynasty. In 1965, a Hutu coup attempt forced Mwambutsa...

President Joe Biden urged Americans during his address to Congress Thursday not to fear government intervention in their lives, reminding them his administration is “We the people.” “It’s time we remembered that ‘We the people’ are the government. You and I,” Biden said, “not some force in a distant capital, not some powerful force that we have no control over. It’s us. It’s ‘We the people.

The NYPD will part ways with “Digidog,” the robotic police dog that became the subject of a City Council subpoena after images of it went viral. The sudden termination comes after a clip of the machine patrolling a Manhattan housing project went viral, sparking backlash and drawing comparisons to the dystopic TV series “Black Mirror.” “People had figured out the catchphrases and the language to somehow make this evil,” earning jeers from local politicians including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who called it a “robotic surveillance ground drone.”

Larry Kudlow, a Fox Business host and former Trump economic advisor, raged against the idea of "plant-based beer" on his Friday-night show ..."So get ready: You can throw back a plant-based beer with your grilled Brussels sprouts and wave your American flag. Call it July 4 green," Kudlow said. ...Fox News' John Roberts told viewers on Monday that Kudlow had highlighted a study from the University of Michigan and wrongly linked it to Biden's plans to mitigate the climate crisis. "On Friday, we told you about a study from the University of Michigan to give some perspective on President Biden's...

A vision of the Tree of Death, cut down to make the Cross. A new legend. When the angel with the flaming sword set up guard outside the Garden of Eden to keep out the children of Adam and Eve from this original garden now forbidden to the expelled; satan set up a Garden of Death just outside the closed Paradise, to mock God. There satan planted a tree, perverted from the Tree of Life, a Tree of Death. It gave bad, alluring fruit, of every filthy perversion of all the good things God made for man to live the...

Stagflation, which reigned during the presidency of Jimmy Carter, occurs during an unusual confluence of events: high inflation, low economic growth and high unemployment. Normally, high inflation happens during periods of rapid economic expansion and low unemployment. On the opposite side, low economic growth and high unemployment normally occur during periods of low inflation. Stagflation, which combines the worst of everything, is particularly hard on the middle and lower classes, whose members face both high unemployment and rapidly rising prices for goods and services. In addition, the lack of jobs often leads to despondency among those unable to find work....

It’s no secret that Republicans are determined to win in 2022. That might seem far away, but every day will count given Democrats are trying everything in their power to force their radical agenda on Americans. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who is still pushing through toxic spending bills to appease the far-left, is already in hot water. House Democrats now only have a 2-seat majority and the new 2020 census means that Democrats will be losing several congressional seats. Now, Republicans are making it clear Pelosi’s days may be numbered after a record-breaking fundraising haul.

The feds may have been spurred to raid Rudy Giuliani’s Manhattan apartment and office based on a voicemail he left a former business associate’s lawyer in which he hinted at having a burner phone, according to a report. Joseph Bondy, the attorney for ex-associate Lev Parnas, in December submitted a court motion that included the transcript of the voicemail the former New York City mayor left him in November 2019, Newsweek reported.

Hello FRiends! I started following the GME - Game Stop - saga back in February. I missed the early boat - <10 per share, but my millennial age son talked me into buying a share. I was hooked as I "averaged down" from my first around 300 to several when it dropped below 50. It didn't make sense. Why buy a stock that kept going down? Why buy a stock that every online financial article and tv finance station said to sell? (Trump is done, Biden/Hillary, etc are inevitable) They all said, congratulations to the "retail" (populist), now it is...

In a statement obtained by the CBC, a spokesperson for Telus said, "Our team located a nearby dam, and it appears the beavers dug underground alongside the creek to reach our cable, which is buried about three feet underground and protected by a 4.5-inch thick conduit. The beavers first chewed through the conduit before chewing through the cable in multiple locations." When the repair crews went to investigate, they found damage to more sections of the cable, the New York Post reports. Apparently, multiple beavers had dug underground alongside a creek in order to reach the cables.

New Mexico marijuana legalization could hurt Colorado's cannabis industry New Mexico will launch its own legal recreational marijuana market in 2022, but the business done there could hurt Colorado's cannabis industry. Denver7 spoke with a dispensary owner in the border city of Trinidad to explain how dependent his business is on out-of-state customers. By: Jesse HughesApr 29, 2021 Earlier this month, New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham signed legislation to legalize recreational marijuana in the state. While marijuana and criminal justice reform advocates say it's a huge win, it could mean big losses for dispensaries in Colorado. Since 2014, when...
