In March Joe Biden appointed Kamala Harris as “border czar” to handle the border crisis.A record number of illegal aliens have responded to Joe Biden’s invitation to “surge the border” but Kamala Harris has done nothing to stop the invasion.Kamala Harris has not visited border but she is actively encouraging US businesses to outsource their investment from the US to the Northern Triangle (El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras).As part of this Call to Action launch, 12 companies and organizations announced commitments to support inclusive economic development in the Northern Triangle, including: Accion, Bancolombia, Chobani, Davivienda, Duolingo, the Harvard T.H.

Reporter to Gloria Steinem on her 40th birthday - “You don’t look 40.” Gloria – “This is what 40 looks like.Humans have 23 pairs (46 total) of chromosomes in each cell. Gametes, the sperm and egg cells, each have 23 chromosomes. When we open a biology textbook, we see them arranged from largest to smallest pairs. One of each pair is inherited from the father and one from the mother. The functions of some genes are well-known, and some abnormalities yield predictable results. Genetic research is robust. Chromosome 1, the largest, has 249 million base pairs and constitutes about 8%...

You can have your khaki But I'll take my navy blue For there's still another fighter That I'll introduce to you. His uniform is different, The best you'll ever see, The Japs call him a Seadog But his real name is Seabee. He was trained in old Rhode Island, The land that God forgot, Where the mud is 14 inches deep And the rain will never stop. He has set many a table And many the dish he's dried He also learned to make a bed, A broom he sure can guide. He has peeled a million onions And twice...

Additional details began to emerge on Thursday, less than a day after the San Jose shooting claimed nine lives. The suspect was identified as 57-year-old Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) employee Sam James Cassidy. He reportedly had two semi-automatic handguns, but the exact models have not been disclosed. He also reportedly had eleven loaded magazines, while law enforcement officials said a fire in his house began around the same time he began his shooting spree – suggesting he had some way to set it off either remotely or via a timer. “What we’re operating under now, and I’m not...

Source: Myra AdamsThanks for joining us as we conclude our two-part study about what the Bible says about water. Last week we covered the Old Testament and now the New. If you missed last week’s study, please read it first since the New Testament’s verses are grounded in the Old. However, before diving in, a message from our sponsor John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park in Key Largo, Florida. (Just kidding about the sponsor, but the message is on topic.) At the “park,” six miles offshore and submerged in 25 feet of water, is a 4,000 pound, 8.5-foot tall, bronze...

RIP Captain :-(

A robber shot an unsuspecting victim inside a Bronx subway station but the stick up backfired when the victim fought back, grabbing his assailant’s weapon and shooting him in the face, law enforcement sources said. The 21-year-old would-be robber pulled his gun on a 40-year-old man in the mezzanine of the B/D station at E. 182nd St. and the Grand Concourse in Fordham Heights, said authorities. Jeremy Lynch, a neighborhood resident, was inside the station near the token booth when the struggle occurred on the other side of the turnstiles. “I heard arguing. I took cover,” he said. As the...

“The farmer is the only man in our economy who buys everything at retail, sells everything at wholesale, and pays the freight both ways.” — John F. KennedyThis just under 4 minute video, cheekily titled “How to Fold a Fitted Sheet,” shows you in real time how long it takes to destroy a grain storage bin.Given the current politico-cultural milieu a good sub-titled might be “Biden’s America: the devolution of a perfectly good structure.” It is oddly compelling though, like watching a train wreck.If you’re inclined, here is a 16+ minute video that shows the flip side: something of the...

A hint of crazy things to come may be playing out in the Arizona desert — and it involves a giant species of cactus. Saguaros, which can live for centuries and grow to nearly 80 feet, have erupted in spring blooms that are spreading far beyond the norm. It’s almost as if the plants are breaking out in a rash of blooms. This is happening in the Sonoran Desert and experts suspect it may be an example of how the warming environment is impacting even the oldest of plants.A rare phenomenon is unfolding in Arizona: Saguaros cacti, which live centuries,...

It’s time we leave the chaos, depression, and lockdowns to Washington and get back into appreciating life. While Democrats are doing what they can to shut down celebration and normalcy, most Americans have had enough. They want back into life and an end to over-controlling politicians who are trying to get in the way. Watching hundreds of unmasked fans march down the 18thhole to see Phil Mickelson turn back the clock to win the PGA Championship at 50 years of age was a sight I will not easily forget. The crowd watched silently in anticipation and then shouted for joy...

Lorrie Morgan sang lead vocals on the Beach Boys' 1996 Stars and Stripes Vol. 1 album and was their only venture into the genre of country music to date. This version peaked at number 73 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart.[13] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don%27t_Worry_Baby#Variations

They’re doing in May 2021 what America did in May 2020 – substituting the “political method” for the “scientific method” that led to the modern era. May and June 2020 in America witnessed a very bizarre phenomenon: The same jurisdictions that had locked down completely, banning church services and shopping for flower seeds, all to prevent COVID’s spread, announced that massive BLM rallies, riots, and eventual looting were inconsequential when it came to COVID. This May, Canada has done something similar. The same nation that’s been fanatically hostile to liberty because of COVID has dropped its regulations for pro-Hamas rallies....

There’s a quote I love, use regularly, and butcher just as often, “My favorite definition of an intellectual: ‘Someone who has been educated beyond their intelligence.” It comes from Arthur C. Clarke, but I first heard it from my friend Al, a just-post-Korean War vet and electrician I used to play in euchre tournaments back in Detroit. I have never met anyone with an advanced degree, outside of a couple of people in the fields of law and medicine, who didn’t personify that quote to a T. One prime example of this phenomenon is Temple University professor Marc Lamont Hill....

In a recent episode of her podcast, Iona Italia expressed frustration about bad arguments against freedom of speech that she’s had to combat over and over again. I am therefore submitting something that is less of an article and more of a listicle: responses to some of the most common arguments against freedom of speech, and, where possible, suggestions for additional reading.Assertion: Free speech was created under the false notion that words and violence are distinct, but we now know that certain speech is more akin to violence.Answer: Speech equals violence isn’t a new idea. It’s a very old—and very...

For a full year, the official media narrative was that there was “‘Exactly Zero’ Evidence Covid-19 Came From a Lab.” (That from the University of Minnesota’s Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy in May 2020) To suggest any such evidence might exist was a pure conspiracy theory. The scientific community had come to a consensus on the subject, one that had been fact checked by multiple independent news sources such as the Washington Post and Politifact. Facebook and Instagram flagged Tucker Carlson’s interview with a Chinese virologist who said the virus did not come from nature as “containing false...

When tech lords such as Facebook, Twitter and Google decide to make you disappear, there’s not much you can do. Except, maybe finagle an appearance on Newsmax. Former VC resident James Staake, known to many as the “flag guy,” discovered that if you want to be in business on Facebook you’d better not do anything perceived as being pro-Trump. Staake’s main business, Your American Flag Store, has for four years made patriotic wooden signs that depict things such as the American flag, or variations of the flag. When he moved to Tennessee recently he reestablished his business and it has...
