A band of “anticolonial” and racist activists have “liberated” land high in the Colorado mountains to build a utopian city for minorities. Commenters are expecting a rerun of the Jonestown cult, but with more anti-Semitism. While they’ve been pushing Farrakhan-style racism on Twitter and getting stuck into charity work on the streets, Black Hammer’s members have been stockpiling cash. A GoFundMe campaign organized by the group has pulled in nearly $65,000 since last July. The group wants $500,000 to build a city of their own, with free healthcare, free rent, and no cops. White people and Jews are presumably not...

May 8, 2021 Saturday of the 5th week of EastertideSt.Kevins Church, DublinReadings at MassLiturgical Colour: White.First readingActs 16:1-10 ©'Come across to Macedonia and help us'From Cilicia Paul went to Derbe, and then on to Lystra. Here there was a disciple called Timothy, whose mother was a Jewess who had become a believer; but his father was a Greek. The brothers at Lystra and Iconium spoke well of Timothy, and Paul, who wanted to have him as a travelling companion, had him circumcised. This was on account of the Jews in the locality where everyone knew his father was a Greek....

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen got into trouble Tuesday for telling the truth. That morning, at a conference sponsored by the Atlantic, she raised the possibility that one day the Federal Reserve may raise interest rates "to make sure our economy doesn't overheat." Anyone with a basic understanding of economics knew what she was talking about. The combination of President Joe Biden's gargantuan spending and the accelerating economic recovery may well lead to a rise in consumer prices and hikes in interest rates. But an end to the Federal Reserve's program of easy money would hurt asset prices and possibly employment...

There are “portions” of 9 central-southern regions which could be affected by caduta of fragments of the Chinese space rocket ‘Long March 5B’: Umbria, Lazio, Abruzzo, Molise, Campania, Basilicata, Puglia, Calabria, Sicily and Sardinia. The return to earth is scheduled for 2:24 am on 9 May, with a time window of uncertainty of ñ 6 hours. The indications come from the Operational Committee of the Civil Protection convened by the head of the Department, Fabrizio Curcio. The advice is to stay indoors and not in open places since “it is unlikely that the fragments cause the collapse of buildings.”

And Saul was very wroth, and the saying displeased him; and he said, They have ascribed unto David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed but thousands: and what can he have more but the kingdom? 1 Samuel 18:8 The latest attack the Three Pillars of Propaganda (Academia, Media and DNCCC) are using is the cult of personality. They use the old tactic of accusing the other side of what they are doing trick. Their accusation is, all of the Trumpsters are doing whatever he says like a religion when nothing could be further from the truth. The truth...

WASHINGTON (SBG) — The United States is in the midst of a massive vaccination drive, administering more than 250 million shots in less than five months, but vaccine manufacturers are warning this could be just the beginning of a long battle against COVID-19 and its variants that requires a similar effort to distribute booster shots every year.“We believe booster shots will be needed, as we believe the virus is not going away,” Moderna CEO Stephane Bancel said on a first-quarter earnings call with investors Thursday.Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla made a similar prediction last month that a booster shot would “likely”...

WASHINGTON, Tuesday, May 7. Secretary SEWARD's letter of instructions to Mr. DAYTON, Minister to France, has excited much interest here, and is universally commended as a dignified, statesmanlike document, worthy of the occasion, and placing the position of its author upon the great questions of the day above and beyond suspicion. The Secretary's letter to Mr. ADAMS, Minister to England, on the same subject, I learn, from a competent source, is more elaborate -- considering the secession question more in detail -- and is even abler than that to Mr. DAYTON. It is hoped Mr. SEWARD and the Executive will...

Cindy McCain, the widow of the late Sen. John McCain, said Sunday that the audit of 2020 ballots in Arizona pushed by Republicans is “ludicrous.”Republicans in Maricopa County, Arizona, are currently auditing ballots, tabulation machines and voter information.Critics claim the move undermines democracy and bolsters former President Donald Trump’s unsubstantiated claims of election fraud in the November 2020 election.Democrats attempted to stop the audit by suing, but a judge allowed the tabulation and review to continue last week.

A cyberattack forced the shutdown of one of the largest pipelines in the United States, in what appeared to be a significant attempt to disrupt vulnerable energy infrastructure. The pipeline carries refined gasoline and jet fuel up the East Coast from Texas to New York. The operator of the system, Colonial Pipeline, said in a statement late Friday that it had shut down its 5,500 miles of pipeline, which it says carries 45 percent of the East Coast’s fuel supplies, in an effort to contain the attack on its computer networks. Earlier Friday, there were disruptions along the pipeline, but...

Hunter Biden often photographed and filmed himself with prostitutes for explicit videos that he posted on adult website Pornhub under the username 'RHEast' Joe Biden made headlines when he railed against George Bush Sr.'s war on drugs in the 1980s, saying it wasn't "tough enough" as he proposed harsher sentences for drug crimes as head of the Senate Judiciary Committee in the early 1990s. However, it has now emerged that his own son's drug-fueled antics reportedly resulted in multiple run-ins with law enforcement -- as well as with an alleged obsession with making and starring in porn movies with prostitutes....

... The study, published on May 5 in the journal Science Advances, combines archaeological evidence -- dense clusters of stone artifacts dating as far back as 92,000 years ago -- with paleoenvironmental data on the northern shores of Lake Malawi in eastern Africa to document that early humans were ecosystem engineers. They used fire in a way that prevented regrowth of the region's forests, creating a sprawling bushland that exists today. ... "This is the earliest evidence I have seen of humans fundamentally transforming their ecosystem with fire," said Jessica Thompson, assistant professor of anthropology in the Faculty of Arts...

Unemployment is up, far higher than expected. Close to 14 million Americans say they want to work but cannot find a job. At the very moment that unemployment is rising, fewer people are working, American businesses say they can’t find employees. The United States is currently experiencing shortages of chicken, generators, roofing materials, lumber, ketchup, bicycles, diapers, ammunition, automobiles, plastics, appliances, chlorine, pork and propane tanks. Among other things.

Nancy Pelosi's attempt to 'say hey' to baseball legend Willie Mays on his birthday proved difficult after she posted a picture of the wrong athlete on Twitter. Thursday marked the 90th birthday for Mays, considered to be one of the greatest baseball players of all-time. 'Happy 90th Birthday to an all-American icon, Willie Mays,' the House Speaker tweeted on Thursday. 'A trailblazing, record-breaking baseball player, civil rights leader, and champion for youth sports and well-being, Willie Mays is a civic legend and national treasure. #SayHey90'

He stayed at the Jeremy Hotel in West Hollywood, in a third-floor suite, ordering room service each night, drinking at the hotel bar, and racking up a whopping $5,195 bill Joe Biden proposed harsher sentences for drug crimes as head of the Senate Judiciary Committee in the early 1990s, after complaining that George Bush Sr's war on drugs wasn't "tough enough". However, it has now emerged that his son's alleged drug-fueled antics resulted in multiple run-ins with law enforcement — even pulling the Secret Service into the mess. Text messages from 2018 reveal how Hunter was allegedly being guarded by...

For Democrats, the ideal world is to have three castes — Big Government overlords who know everything and benevolently do the central planning; a cadre of loyal Big Corporate cronies who share their technology and silence their critics; and...peasants — a huge class of people, every last one of whom is dependent on the government for bodily survival. Beggars, after all, are easiest to please, which is the surest means of creating permanent blocs of Democrat voters. Hard work and individual initiative, after all, are for kulaks — hoarders, wreckers, saboteurs, and counterrevolutionaries, as Stalin, more or less, used to...

Here’s some good news: The CIA has a proud Latina woman, who can change diapers with one hand, who proudly tells the world, “I’m a cisgender millennial who’s been diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder. I am intersectional, but my existence is not a box-checking exercise,” because “I refuse to internalize misguided patriarchal ideas of what a woman can or should be.” I have many thoughts about this, most of them critical. Indeed, on another day, I could bang out a couple thousand harsh words on this with ease. But while I wouldn’t say I’m in a look-on-the-bright-side mood, I think...

I was going to write about the “unexpectedly” bad JOBS! JOBS! JOBS! report (which was off by a mere 74% from expectations) but Neo has already written the definitive post on this: The economy surprises the “experts” – again:It happens nearly every time, almost like Lucy and Charlie Brown and the football. Why are they called “experts”? Well, they’re expert at predicting what the left wishes will happen, and then they’re expert at being perpetually astonished at what actually does happen:The April jobs report showed the U.S. added only 266,000 jobs during the month and the unemployment ticked up to...
