“Our profession today is unrecognizable,” says award-winning journalist Lara Logan. A former correspondent for CBS’ “60 Minutes” and now host of Fox Nation’s “Lara Logan Has No Agenda,” she’s been at the frontlines for years reporting on war zones, gang warfare, Benghazi, and beyond. And she’s seen the transformation of media from what it was meant to be, with many journalists blurring the lines between fact and opinion. “They're not journalists. They're political assassins, working on behalf of political operatives and propagandists,” Logan argues. What are the root causes of this shift? And how are a lot of media working...

A Bellwood man says he’s feeling blessed after landing the catch of a lifetime at a Cambria County lake Saturday. Randy Thompson says he and his family own a camp near Lake Glendale, in Cambria County, and decided to go fishing for the day. Thompson says he and his family go fishing there all the time and the day started off like any other day. He was using a Zebco fishing rod he had picked up from Walmart for $20, with some shiners for bait. “My daughter caught a couple smaller bass earlier in the morning and then 11 o’clock...

Anthony Gonzalez, the RINO from Ohio, typifies all that is wrong with the established Republican Party. You may recall that Rep. Anthony Gonzalez (RINO-Ohio) is one of ten Republican House members who voted to impeach President Trump after he left office on the bogus charge that he had incited the riot in the nation's capital on January 6. For this, Gonzalez was formally censured in early May by the Ohio Republican Party and asked to resign. Far from being chastised, Gonzalez continued his vendetta against Trump and by extension MAGA-supporters. He next voted for the Democrat resolution to establish a...

Darnell is now in the Montgomery County jail where he’s held without bond in the 1983 death of Laura Purchase after DNA connected Darnell to the crime. Jail records do not list an attorney who could speak on his behalf. A deputy who was on patrol on March 17, 1983 along Interstate 45 spotted a fire in a wooded area, stopped to investigate, and discovered the body of a woman that had been set on fire.

I do not write this to be cruel or judgmental. And I certainly don’t want to hurt anyone. To the contrary, I want to help. But I do write with a sense of urgency, both to the nation and to confused individuals like Demi Lovato, the latest to identify as non-binary and want to be called “they.” To the nation, I say this: Wake up! We are losing touch with reality and engaging in dangerous semantic and ideological games. Worse still, we are not providing the real help that struggling people need. To Demi Lovato, I say this: You are...

President Biden promised to help Palestinians who lost their homes during 11 days of Israeli strikes on Gaza as he offered prayers Friday for a ceasefire to hold. During a press conference to mark the visit of South Korean President Moon Jae-in, he insisted he remained committed to Israeli security. But he struck a careful balance between both sides as he announced plans to help Palestinians in Gaza rebuild their lives so long as Hamas militants, who rained rockets on Israel, were not able to rebuild their armaments.

The confluence of multiculturalism, intersectionality, and extreme wokeness has led to its own rapid climate change. The confluence of multiculturalism, intersectionality, and extreme wokeness has led to its own rapid climate change. And this one is far more certain, much more concrete, and eminently easier to spot. It is cultural climate change… to the nth degree. We are once again seeing preference given to people strictly on the basis of their skin color. Black Lives Matter, All Lives Do Not. Racial preferences abound in college admissions practices. Black? You’re in! Asian? You’re out! We are now, once again, segregating dorms,...

“Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and fellow Republicans are demanding President Biden’s Education Department block a planned history education proposal that invokes the 1619 Project,” Fox News reports. "Americans do not need or want their tax dollars diverted from promoting the principles that unite our nation toward promoting radical ideologies meant to divide us," McConnell and dozens of GOP colleagues wrote in a letter to Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona. Radical ideas likes those from Professor Ibram X. Kendi, big kahuna of Critical Race Theory, which Biden’s Education Department wants to force-feed our schoolchildren: “In order to truly be antiracist,...

On Thursday, the House of Representatives narrowly passed a Democratic-sponsored bill to massively increase funding for the US Capitol Police, whose sparsely deployed forces were quickly overrun by the fascistic mob incited by then-President Trump in the January 6 coup attempt. The bill would allocate $1.9 billion, nearly four times the Capitol Police’s 2020 budget, to upgrade and expand existing surveillance and screening procedures, provide mobile fencing, cover the costs of National Guard deployments on and after January 6, and hire hundreds more Capitol Police officers in the coming months. It would also provide $200 million to establish a “quick...

Kyle Rittenhouse, the 18-year-old accused of shooting and killing two people and wounding another during protests last year, made his first in-person court appearance Friday morning in Kenosha, Wis.

Attorneys have agreed to send questionnaires to potential jurors to quiz them on their...

“Bow down thine ear, and hear the words of the wise, and apply thine heart unto my knowledge” (Proverbs 22:17).

Against all logic and against all historical rationality, that ideology has survived and, what is even more irrational, has in some respects even strengthened, augmenting its ranks throughout the Western world. SNIP After the collapse of the Soviet monster, that is of the great financier of communist movements all over the world, which were therefore deprived of considerable economic means, it seemed that communism in the West could die out or at least be reduced to small groups of nostalgics, as it had happened for National Socialism and for the few Nazis scattered around the world. In fact, the Soviet...

The first major recorded battle of the Roman invasion of Britain under the orders of the emperor Claudius, the battle is thought to have been fought at a crossing of the River Medway, near the modern day city of Rochester in Kent, England, and it raged for nearly two days.The British force was led by two brothers: Togodumnus, king of the Catuvellauni, and Caratacus, a chieftain of the same tribe.

On hearing of the Roman landing at Richborough, British resistance united...

Sky News host Chris Kenny says highly disturbing footage has revealed ABC journalists and producers "coached" women what to say when they made allegations against actor Craig McLachlan. "The weekend documentary aired some footage from their interviews that gave us a disturbing insight into the intent of that journalism and the coaching the journalists and producers gave to the women making allegations against McLachlan," Mr Kenny said. Mr Kenny said there was encouragement to use the word "predatory". "This is a highly disturbing look behind the scenes. Are these journalists asking questions or dictating answers?" Australian actor Craig McLachlan was...

Anything is possible but the law and the facts show that none of this is serious. Leftists are fantasizing about Donald Trump being arrested, booked, and put on trial. Well, they are fantasizing about that…again. The New York State Attorney General’s investigation of the Trump Organization is now “no longer purely civil in nature,” Fabien Levy, the spokesperson for New York Attorney General Letitia James, confirmed to Politico by email. “We are now actively investigating the Trump Organization in a criminal capacity, along with the Manhattan D.A. We have no additional comment at this time.” It is important for political...

Many Senate Republicans oppose the partisan January 6 Commission which serves the Democrat’s agenda by deflecting from their unpopular policies. “I don’t think there will be 10 votes on our side for it,” Sen. Mike Braun (R-IN) said of the legislation which passed the House with 35 Republican votes. “At this stage, I’d be surprised if you’re gonna get even a handful.” Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) will also oppose the commission in a blow to Democrats who need ten Republicans to pass the measure. “It’s not at all clear what new facts or additional investigation yet another commission...

I just read through the PBS article posted here: The powerful technology behind the Pfizer and Moderna vaccinesPBS ^ | April 2, 2021 | Isabella Isaacs-ThomasThe medical oligarchs must be panicking to start this kind of whitewash so late in the game and it's too little, too late, after too many lies. The weaponized CDC never bothered to tell the public anything, because their tyranny is less complicated if the public is completely unaware of what they are doing. The weaponized CDC intentionally chose the wrong companies to produce the vaccines. Those who are sensitive about my use of 'weaponized'...

Co-host Max Kellerman suggested Tebow should highlight that Colin Kaepernick hasn't had a chance at a comeback ----------------- ESPN "First Take" host Stephen A. Smith took aim at former Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Tim Tebow on Thursday, arguing that "white privilege" was a factor in his NFL comeback at age 33 after years out of the league. Tebow signed a one-year contract this week with the Jacksonville Jaguars after spending the last several years pursuing a professional baseball career in the New York Mets’ minor league system. During Thursday’s episode of "First Take," Smith said he "had a problem" with the...
