Under President Biden’s leadership, the Pentagon rejected a permit for the annual Rolling to Remember motorcycle ride held in Washington, DC, each Memorial Day to honor POW/MIA veterans. The event is organized by AMVETS, a veterans group, which submitted permit requests and petitions for the event to multiple federal agencies. According to Rep. Darrell Issa, “AMVETS received approval from the Department of Transportation, the Department of Interior, and multiple other state and local authorities.” Originally, the Pentagon granted a permit to AMVETS for the event in March, however it was later rescinded without explanation. “There are no options with as...

SPECIAL DISPATCH FROM WASHINGTON. WASHINGTON, Friday, May 3. The hopes of the last week, erected upon the assumption that Maryland was becoming conservative, have been rudely dispelled here by the vote of the Senate of that State yesterday, ordering to a third reading its bill to provide for the public safety. This bill places the entire military power of the State in the hands of Gov. HICKS and five avowed and well-known Secessionists, and removes every restriction and safeguard interposed by past legislation to save the people from the consequences of a rash and irresponsible employment of the military forces....

In this video you’ll learn what it’s like when a liberal finally becomes a conservative. Understand what it’s like for them to realize they’ve been a conservative living in a liberals body all this time! There’s nothing more freeing than coming out as trans political.

Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem Psalm 54Psalm 54[a] For the director of music. With stringed instruments. A maskil[b] of David. When the Ziphites had gone to Saul and said, “Is not David hiding among us?” 1 Save me, O God, by your name; vindicate me by your might. 2 Hear my prayer, O God; listen to the words of my mouth. 3 Arrogant foes are attacking me; ruthless people are trying to kill me— people without regard for God.[c] 4 Surely God is my help; the Lord is the one who sustains me. 5 Let evil recoil on those...

Make no mistake: Congressmen Eric Cantor, Paul Ryan, and Kevin McCarthy are proud Republicans. But they believe the party had lost sight of the ideals it believes in, like economic freedom, limited government, the sanctity of life, and putting families first. This isn’t your grandfather’s Republican party. These Young Guns of the House GOP—Cantor (the leader), Ryan (the thinker), and McCarthy (the strategist)—are ready to take their belief in the principles that have made America great and translate it into solutions that will make the future even better, solutions that will create private sector jobs, maximize individual freedom, and establish...

FIFTH WEEK OF EASTER JOHN 14:27–31A Friends, in today’s Gospel, Jesus gives us an antidote for fear. Who or what are you afraid of? That is a very important spiritual question. One way to understand our lives is to look at those things that we seek: wealth, power, privilege, honor, pleasure, friendship. But another way is to turn that question around and determine what or who it is that we fear. We might fear the loss of material things, the loss of a job, the loss of physical health, the loss of the esteem of others, the loss of personal...

Well looky here, MSM finally noticed that prices might be inching up a tad: Don’t worry though: it’s just transitory.Quick: name the last time this country experienced hyper-inflation. *hint* I’m guessing the ‘Bidens-in-a Hobbit-house’ effect is the result of either an amateur or an auteur photographer. Either way it’s a pretty clever illustration: the incredible shrinking Carters symbolizing the incredible shrinking dollar that comes with hyper-inflation. Doesn’t appear to be that transitory from my perspective though.Posted from: MOTUS A.D.

It’s just the flu, bro. How will this Coronavirus play out? I am thinking that cases and deaths will continue to drop nationally as we get into the summer. Note that there is a floor to the number of deaths though as all respiratory infection deaths are labeled as Coronavirus. As we get into the Fall the cases will climb and as we get into flu season the cases will rise further. This will be driven by a number of variants, in addition to the original Covid vaccine. It is at this point that politicians will say things like “we...

A bizarre photo of the Bidens and the Carters hit the internet yesterday and it has literally sparked a massive amount of buzz, outrage, and conspiracy theories. When I saw it, I was totally perplexed. Jill and Joe look like 14-foot giants. I thought surely the photo was fake. There’s no way the scale of the people in the photo could be this off, regardless of how “tiny” Jimmy and Rosylm Carter are in real life. It was just too off. So, I thought I was looking at a funny “meme.”Boy, was I wrong…The official “Jimmy Carter” Twitter account actually...

"Hear me clearly: America is not a racist country." So declared Sen. Tim Scott, a Black Republican, in his televised rebuttal to Joe Biden's address to Congress. Asked the next day what he thought of Scott's statement, Biden said he agrees. "No, I don't think the American people are racist." Vice President Kamala Harris also agreed with Scott, "No, I don't think America is a racist country." What makes these rejections of the charge of racism against America significant is that Biden and Harris both seemed to say the opposite after Derek Chauvin was convicted. Biden had called George Floyd's...

Technical drawings alleged to have been exported (by Honeywell) to China, among other countries, covered components used on various military aircraft, and more. That document includes the following list of impacted platforms, with a caveat that this was only some of the examples, rather than a full accounting: F-35 Joint Strike Fighter B-1B Lancer Long-Range Strategic Bomber F-22 Fighter Aircraft C-130 Military Transport Aircraft A-7H Corsair Aircraft A-10 Aircraft Apache Longbow Helicopter M1A1 Abrams Tank Tactical Tomahawk Missile T55 Turboshaft Engine

Through lack of understanding they remained sane. − George Orwell, 1984An illusion of sanity prevails among the “woke” and among “great reset” specialists, including the brightest and best among corporate brain trusts who, pretending to know what people are, make it their business to change people. Some actually intone the phrase “what it means to be human” in their talk about “making the world better,” while marching with authorities who treat the world and people like numbers in equations. Do they not know that they are exhibiting an arrogance, an indifference to morality, and a faith in technology that show...

There is something very fishy about the new 2020 Census Bureau data determining which states picked up seats and which states lost seats. Most all of the revisions to the original estimates have moved in one direction: Population gains were added to blue states, and population losses were subtracted from red states. The December revisions in population estimates under the Biden Census Bureau added some 2.5 million blue-state residents and subtracted more than 500,000 red-state residents. These population estimates determine how many electoral votes each state receives for presidential elections and the number of congressional seats in each state. Is...

When Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, author of The Gulag Archipelago, gave in his Noble Lecture the credo, “Let the lie come into the world. Let it even triumph. But not through me,” that was based. Not participating in transparent lies or mass delusion is based. Doing so against the madness of the following crowd is based. Nearly everything that it means to be based is either contained within or predicated upon this one trait of character. Solzhenitsyn wrote those words as a result of his observations living in what may have been the most brutal tyranny of human history: Stalin’s USSR. That...

The Democratic Party has always been a racist party. Any interested person who has studied the internal workings of this duplicitous faction is aware of its racist history, its elitist framework, its systemic arrogance, hypocrisy, and intellectual dishonesty -- and, more disturbingly, of its brightly lit scaffold of democratic pretensions. But the most disheartening effect of its propaganda is that millions are drawn to its superficial rhetoric of "social justice" in the hope of finding moral certainty in the sewers and waste pits of a despotic ideology of power. Racism is a structural injustice deeply embedded within the politics and...

Two of West Virginia’s federal lawmakers have some of the highest scores among their colleagues regarding bipartisanship. The Lugar Center and Georgetown University’s McCourt School of Public Policy released its bipartisan index for the 116th Congress on Monday, in which U.S. Sen. Shelley Moore Capito, R-W.Va., ranked sixth among 99 senators scored and Rep. David McKinley, R-W.Va., placed 10th among 437 members of the House of Representatives.(snip)..... Capito, speaking to MetroNews in January, championed her relationships on Capitol Hill, noting an eagerness to work with Democrats in the current Congress amid the split Senate. Capito is also the leading Republican...

The CIA has put out a new recruitment video featuring a 36-year-old CIA employee boasting about her cisgender, her intersectional identity, and her mental fragility. On the one hand, it may be one of the funniest things you’ll see this week. On the other hand, every one of us should be terrified that this is the kind of person working for the CIA and that this is the kind of person the CIA hopes to recruit. The CIA’s home page proudly announces, “We are the Nation’s first line of defense. It explains that its work, “[a]s the world’s premier foreign...

When coal mine employee John Morecraft heard last Monday that United Mine Workers of America President Cecil Roberts approved of President Joe Biden's plan to move the nation's energy industry away from fossil fuels, Morecraft said he anticipated the news would be misconstrued. "I knew the story would come across as though all coal miners approved of this deal, with no mention of how (un)representative the UMWA is of the coal miner population," said Morecraft, just before going down for his shift at the Bailey Mine here in Greene County. "The UMWA in actuality represents a small portion of the...

"The best-case scenario is that someone is engaging in domestic surveillance. But there's a much darker scenario that could be in motion. There are a handful of protections for the American people that the Deep State wishes didn’t exist. The Freedom of Information Act is the most famous and powerful as it has been used over the decades to uncover some of the most nefarious actions by government while acting as a deterrent to prevent them from being even more dastardly. One of the least ballyhooed and utilized protections is the public transponder data available to track aircrafts and ships....
