A Michigan court has ruled that a recall effort against Governor Gretchen Whitmer, a woman with no moral or leadership character, can proceed. That’s good news.However, it is the response from the governor that appears to be the buried lead. Specifically because the statement also included “courts” and the “ballot Box”, the third line of attack from the governor’s office implies acts of violence “on the streets” against her political opposition.MICHIGAN –Recall petitions against Gov. Gretchen Whitmer can proceed, a Michigan court ruled on Thursday.The Board of State Canvassers “correctly” approved the six recall petitions against Whitmer and one against...

It takes no great imagination to determine what is probably the focus of the mind of Vanity Fair's Bess Levin. Even a quick perusal of her articles over the past year reveals her disturbing obsession with Donald Trump 24/7.So obsessed is Levin with Trump that she will even lie in her articles to make up fake quotes about him such as her March 8 screed in which she put a false quote in Lindsay Graham's mouth where he supposedly said, "I'm willing to overlook the fact that Trump has probably beaten a few homeless people to death."Most responsible periodicals would...

A number of reporters from mainstream media outlets have recently admitted that the Wuhan “lab leak” theory was originally dismissed because it came from Republicans. Jonathan Karl, ABC News Washington correspondent admitted to ABC’s “This Week” host on Sunday that the lab leak theory was not taken seriously because it came from the Trump administration but, “now serious people are saying it needs a serious inquiry.” “Yes, I think a lot of people have egg on their face,” Karl said. “This was an idea that was first put forward by Mike Pompeo, secretary of state, Donald Trump, and look, some...

Last week Julie Kelly from American Greatness released a video from Jan. 6 protests in Washington DC. Police started firing on the peaceful protestors on the west side of the Capitol building. In the video at American Greatness you can see Kash Kelly, a former gang member and founder of the Streetlights Unity Movement and Foundation, a group he launched in 2020 in opposition to Black Lives Matters to help at-risk people in inner-cities, outraged that police were firing on this crowd of patriots with American flags and MAGA gear. Over the weekend The Gateway Pundit was sent a second...

Australian authorities are part of an international hunt for cyber criminals who've shut down the nation's largest meat and food processing company, JBS Foods. JBS facilities in other countries have also been hit in a cyber attack that could affect meat supply chains world wide. Agriculture Minister David Littleproud says the federal government is doing all it can to get Australian abattoirs functioning again, and to limit effects on domestic supply and export markets. The company has 47 facilities across Australia, including abattoirs and feed lots. Mr Littleproud says it's too soon to say who might be behind the attack...

The Bilderberg Group. Are they the real deep state? Dice asks Hannity about the Bilderberg Group and Hannity says he has no idea what Dice is talking about.

Former Trump Chief Strategist Steve Bannon made some excellent points this morning on his War Room Pandemic. Bannon notes that China is building its military and the US is paying for it and Biden is making it ten times worse.Here are Bannon’s excellent points in the short clip below:China is building a huge military force. It is big and growing in numbers and in sophistication.China purchases bonds sold by the US which is necessary for the US to issue because the US is spending like drunken sailors now under Biden.The US pays interest on these bonds purchased by China.The amount...

Some years ago my wife bought her Dad a book called "A Father's Legacy" which has blank pages for Fathers to write thoughts on memories of various activities that affected their own lives. One page asked the question, "If you were in the Armed Forces, how did your service affect your life?" He entered the Korean war as an infantryman and carried a Browning Automatic Rifle and a 1911 in his holster. I have a photo of him fresh off a combat patrol holding his BAR at his side & it was almost as tall next to him as he...

SÃO PAULO – A joke made by Pope Francis concerning the Brazilians spurred outrage among some groups in the South American country. On May 26, Brazilian Father João Paulo Victor asked the pontiff to send a blessing to the Brazilians after the general audience in the Vatican. A video shows how Pope Francis jokingly told the priest in Italian: “There’s no salvation for you. Too much cachaça [a Brazilian sugarcane spirit] and no praying.” The pope then blessed Victor and another person. Victor’s cheerful reaction to the comment was not different from its initial effect on most Brazilians. But after...

The United States imported a rare cargo of 1.033 million barrels of Iranian crude in March despite sanctions on Iran’s energy sector, data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration showed. The cargo is only the second oil import by the United States from Iran since late 1991, data on EIA’s website showed.

The archbishop of the Archdiocese for the Military Services says that the military is the “largest single source of vocations to the priesthood” in the United States. Ahead of Memorial Day weekend, Archbishop Timothy Broglio spoke with EWTN News In Depth about coordinating the chaplains who serve the spiritual needs of the men and women in the U.S. military. His comments aired on Friday during an episode dedicated to the bravery and sacrifice of U.S. service members. To serve these people, he said, is a “very enriching and rewarding ministry.” Archbishop Broglio said he did not originally plan to be...

In what can only be described as a comedy of errors, an Argentinian TV news channel delivered a stunning, if slightly flawed, scoop on Thursday night when it reported that William Shakespeare, “one of the most important writers in the English language” had died five months after receiving the Covid vaccine. The gaffe of, well, Shakespearean proportions happened after Noelia Novillo, a newsreader on Canal 26, mixed up the Bard with William “Bill” Shakespeare, an 81-year-old Warwickshire man who became the second person in the world to get the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine.

A high school in Michigan has reversed course after initially telling a graduating senior that references to her Christian beliefs were "not appropriate" for her upcoming valedictory speech, her lawyers say. After receiving a demand letter from the First Liberty Institute, officials at Hillsdale High School relented after pressuring student Elizabeth Turner to alter the valedictory speech for her June 6 graduation ceremony. "I’m grateful I will be able to share my faith with my classmates, and I pray that God uses this situation to advance His kingdom," Turner said in a statement Thursday shared by First Liberty Institute, a...

Local NAACP offended by steel cable loop holding an American flag on a construction crane.A possible noose reported to Central Connecticut State University turned out to be a common sight across America: an American flag hanging from a construction crane. That didn't stop the university or the local chapter of the NAACP from taking offense at the display, The College Fix reports. “A construction crew working on campus hung an American flag from the crane’s cable to recognize Memorial Day,” President Zulma Toro wrote to the campus community. It was the second steel cable loop recently mistaken for a noose...

Last week, the Commack School District on Long Island wanted to do the sane thing and make masks optional for children. The move is long overdue. The state COVID positivity rate is under 1 percent, and deaths and hospitalizations have dropped precipitously. So why are kids, who should have never been masked in the first place, still forced to cover their faces? Why are kindergartners masked at recess outdoors, even after national virus guru Anthony Fauci said “the risk outdoors is very low”? In New York, it turns out it’s because Gov. Cuomo says so. Cuomo has been a disaster...

Jasmine Hartin, 32, who is married to the son of British billionaire Lord Michael Ashcroft, was taken into custody last Friday after Superintendent Henry Jemmott, 42, was shot behind the ear with his own revolver. Police believe the pair had been drinking and fooling around with Jemmott's service revolver when it accidentally fired, causing the 6ft officer to topple off a pier in the luxury coastal enclave of Ambergris Caye. Hartin told detectives she was giving the officer a massage moments before the freak accident, according to local news reports. Hartin was found at the scene by a security guard...

New laws in Maryland and Montana are the first in the nation to restrict law enforcement’s use of genetic genealogy, the DNA matching technique that in 2018 identified the Golden State Killer, in an effort to ensure the genetic privacy of the accused and their relatives. Beginning on Oct. 1, investigators working on Maryland cases will need a judge’s signoff before using the method, in which a “profile” of thousands of DNA markers from a crime scene is uploaded to genealogy websites to find relatives of the culprit. The new law, sponsored by Democratic lawmakers, also dictates that the technique...

I caught some of President Biden's Memorial Day Speech on Newsmax earlier today. Like some commentators, I noticed that Mr. Biden seemed a bit angry in at least one part. But I also noticed something strange. As his speech was apparently winding into its last few minutes, and he was discussing things such as the "right to vote" and other points, he said something that seemed oddly placed: "Parenthetically, goodbye taps." I can only surmise that near the end of the teleprompter spool, that had been inserted to remind Biden of what came after he finished, and he said it...
