"Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few." —Winston ChurchillAs we do on this day each year, we pause to remember the men and women who died fighting for our freedom. We stand by humbly, gratefully, silently, to honor their sacrifice.In Flanders Fields the poppies blow Between the crosses row on row,That mark our place; and in the skyThe larks, still bravely singing, flyScarce heard amid the guns below.We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,Loved and were loved, and now we lieIn Flanders fields.Take...

Following protests from the radical anti-Israel Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) group, the chancellor and provost of Rutgers University issued an apology for a previous condemnation of antisemitism, promising to be “more sensitive and balanced” in the future. On Wednesday, amid a worldwide surge in attacks against Jews, the leading New Jersey university’s Chancellor Christopher Molloy and Provost Francine Conway condemned antisemitism, stating they were “saddened by and greatly concerned about the sharp rise in hostile sentiments and anti-Semitic violence in the United States.” “Recent incidents of hate directed toward Jewish members of our community again remind us of...

As businesses continue to struggle to find willing employees in the wake of governments continuing to pay them in many cases MORE than they would make working to stay at home, many states are pushing back by preemptively ending the extra federal unemployment cash. The first two-dozen or so states to opt-out, however, are not surprisingly ALL led by Republican governors. Which means that Democrats overwhelmingly are behind the ongoing federal and state effort to destroy small and medium-sized businesses by purposefully denying them the labor help they need to get back on their feet and serve their customers. But...

The libertarians over at Reason recently ran a piece reflecting favorably on the plans of Miami's mayor, Francis Suarez, to turn the Magic City into an "un-woke, pro-bitcoin, tech billionaire's paradise." Mayor Suarez is a nominal Republican who voted for Andrew Gillum in the latest gubernatorial race in Florida and has been consistently at odds with the Trumpian governor of that state, Ron DeSantis. Suarez has ridden his family name and connections (his father was the first Cuban-born mayor of Miami) into a political career that has reached its (current) zenith with his landslide election as Miami's mayor in 2017....

Former Trump Economist Stephen Moore on Sunday said the U.S. economy is looking at four to five percent inflation, "and that's way above where the Fed wants us to be." "They have a two to two-and-half percent, you know, inflation target,” he told John A. Catsimatidis on his radio show, The Cats Roundtable - WABC 770 AM. The effects of inflation are everywhere, he says. “You’ll see this in the supply chain. I mean I just bought some airline tickets this weekend for this summer… airline tickets are up 20%. You know food prices are up 10, 15, 20 percent...

Bernie Sanders continues his campaign to undermine Israel in favor of a brutal, aggressive Iran. The liberal media approached the latest outbreak of violence in the Middle East as a renewal of the Israel-Palestinian conflict, if not a return to the Arab-Israeli Wars of half a century ago. Former president George W. Bush, however, saw the situation for what it was. In an exclusive interview with Fox News on May 19, he correctly stated that what "you're seeing playing out is Iranian influence targeted toward Israel." The 4,000 rockets fired by the Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorists from Gaza were...

WASHINGTON—President Biden has nominated agency heads and leadership throughout the federal government at a faster clip than his recent predecessors. But a large portion of the president’s choices await Senate confirmation.... But while Mr. Biden’s cabinet nominees were confirmed relatively quickly, he trails those three in overall Senate confirmations at this point of his presidency, clearing 53 of his nominees so far..... Through the end of May of their first year in office, Mr. Clinton had 151 confirmations, Mr. Obama had secured 145 and Mr. Bush had 126, according to Center for Presidential Transition data. Through the same time frame,...

I just heard Rand Paul on Sean Hannity, from the May 13th. He defined what Gain of Function research is. For those here, who may still not have a good handle on it, it is taking viruses that do not normally affect humans and change their DNA so it does interact with the human genome. There is no way that this could happen in nature.

For Joe Biden/Kamala Harris devotees, the 2020 ubiquitous election lawn signs in my neighborhood read “Truth Hope Decency.” There's been precious little of that since January 21st. For Joe Biden/Kamala Harris devotees, the 2020 ubiquitous election lawn signs in my neighborhood read “Truth Hope Decency.” While most of these moralizing bromides did not survive the winter, some are still implanted, reminders of how cheap political speech was soon enough self-repudiated. Exhorting “Decency” was the refrain decrying President Donald Trump’s occasional crude and coarse cloudbursts, usually unfiltered via Twitter. Yet the substance of decency has eluded Joe Biden and his Democrat...

Thank goodness we have licensed regime-approved journalists to tell us what is true and debunk what is not. Leveraging their extensive life experience as first college students, then grad students, then Vox interns, and finally NYT scribblers at age 27, these special, special people are uniquely suited to defining – for us – objective reality. And we miserable peasants are so ungrateful. On this Memorial Day, I ask: Where is their parade? Reporters are generally garbage and we should devote ourselves to destroying the mainstream media, just as we should commit ourselves to undermining and collapsing every other woke institution...

A gripping installment of INSP’s western series tells the powerful story of Herman Lehmann, a youth who lived in both white and Indian worlds and was noted for participating in a number of violent raids on the western frontier. Augusta Lehmann (Olivia Dunkley) requests a meeting with Bat Masterson (Jack Elliott) at her home where she wishes to set her son’s controversial story straight once and for all. She recounts to Bat the day her children were playing on their land in Texas when Apaches rode in, swiftly capturing 10-year old Herman (Reagan Bryce) and his little brother and taking...

Republican Ohio Rep. Mike Turner said Sunday that he believes President Joe Biden will dismiss any investigation that blames the coronavirus on the Wuhan lab because he “has no interest in pursuing China.” “He’s already blown it off in a number of ways to indicate that it’s not important. I mean, remember, he was uninterested in the origins of the virus, but wanted to give the vaccine of Pfizer and Moderna to China,” Turner told Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures.” WATCH: (link uploaded on the site) “This is clearly an administration that has no interest in pursuing China,” he said....

....Marcus Lemonis, CEO of Camping World and host of “The Profit” on CNBC, has offered a reward of $100,000 “to help authorities in my hometown…arrest and convict the suspect/suspects.” He posted the offer on Twitter.

The grit and jubilance of Greenwood were on display Sunday as residents who know the history of this moment, along with visitors eager to learn, walked Greenwood Avenue ahead of the centennial of a race massacre that is getting new national attention.... many here said they are determined to celebrate the culture and community that Black Tulsans built — while using this moment to demand reparations for all that has been taken from them.... .... Joe Biden will visit Tuesday, the day that officially marks the centennial. While Biden's visit is not expected to be public, he will tour the...

I just read a funny joke. At least, I think it was funny. Husband, doing a crossword puzzle, "What is a word that describes an overworked mailman?" Wife. "How many letters?" Husband, "I'm guessing too many."

Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, former President Donald Trump's former national adviser backed the idea of a military coup similar to Myanmar's happening in the U.S. Flynn was appearing at a conference organized by supporters of the QAnon conspiracy in Dallas, Texa Twitter users have called for the retired general to face court martial, the legal process of prosecution in the American Military QAnon supporters have aired their support for a coup to take place that would see Trump be placed back at the White House Myanmar's military-led coup in February of this year saw the country's democratically-elected government overturned

Miami Police Chief Art Acevedo, who used to lead the Houston Police Department, called a new measure approved by the Texas state Legislature that would allow people to carry handguns without a license "ridiculous" and urged Governor Greg Abbott to veto the bill.

Published on May 28, 2021 On the Senate floor this morning, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) listed a series of "wasteful" studies and government programs in a speech against further debt spending.

Tasmanian devils were born in mainland Australia for the first time in 3,000 years, wildlife charity Aussie Ark announced. The non-profit announced in an Instagram post Monday that seven Tasmanian devil joeys were born at Barrington Wildlife Sanctuary after the species died out in the country due to predators and disease. "We have been working tirelessly for the better part of 10 years to return devils to the wild of mainland Australia with the hope that they would establish a sustainable population," the Aussie Ark said. "We had been watching them from afar until it was time to step in...
