I have proposed this Act because I fear that both Joe Biden and John Roberts are being coerced and I believe that we should not have a country run by blackmailers. SECTION 1 (1) The Congress of the United States declares that it necessary and proper to prevent top United States constitutional officers while in office from being blackmailed due to certain violations of state or federal law. (2) The Congress of the United States declares that it necessary and proper to try to prevent the selection process for top United States constitutional officers from being untimely waylaid due to...

Explanation: What's going on near the center of our galaxy? To help find out, a newly detailed panorama has been composed that explores regions just above and below the galactic plane in radio and X-ray light. X-ray light taken by the orbiting Chandra Observatory is shown in orange (hot), green (hotter), and purple (hottest) and superposed with a highly detailed image in radio waves, shown in gray, acquired by the MeerKAT array. Interactions are numerous and complex. Galactic beasts such as expanding supernova remnants, hot winds from newly formed stars, unusually strong and colliding magnetic fields, and a central supermassive...

Texas Governor Abbott has offered to assist President Biden. It has come to a public bi-partisan consensus that entire Biden Administration are dumber than fence posts. Governor Abbott has contacted Twin Mountain Fence, a proud American company of Hispanic heritage, to provide fence posts to replace the Biden Administration's personnel. This solution would be cost effective, provide improved efficiency and help the Texas economy. Governor Abbott is anxiously awaiting acceptance of the gracious offer by President Biden.

Israel’s Health Ministry said on Tuesday it had found the small number of heart inflammation cases observed mainly in young men who received Pfizer’s (PFE.N) COVID-19 vaccine in Israel were likely linked to their vaccination. Pfizer said in a statement that it was aware of the Israeli observations of myocarditis and said no causal link to its vaccine had been established. It said adverse events are thoroughly reviewed and Pfizer meets regularly with the Vaccine Safety Department of the Israeli Ministry of Health to review data.

The Daily Mail released another Hunter Biden story today. It turns out Hunter did know his baby’s mama and he had her kicked off of his company’s insurance plan after she got pregnant.

The following article is Sponsored by The Centennial Institute at Colorado Christian University and written by Jeff Hunt. The American West has always exuded a spirit of rugged individualism, united by the common bonds of hard work and dedication to faith, family, and freedom. However, that spirit is quickly disappearing as political ideologies shift to the left, threatening the very essence of what makes the West great. The change began on the coast, with California, Oregon, and Washington – once the very definition of the great American West – falling to leftist ideologies. At first it seemed like a joke;...

The Golden State's workforce safety board will meet Thursday to decide whether the state should hold onto coronavirus restrictions for workers past the June 15 reopening date. The California Division of Occupational Safety and Health last week proposed that employers keep mask requirements until early next year and social distancing requirements until late summer, a departure from Gov. Gavin Newsom's guidance. Under the proposal, masks would be required for those working indoors if anyone in the room was not fully vaccinated — or if vaccination status was ambiguous. This likely means that employees working in retail, restaurants or grocery stores...

Democracy, by definition and in its most general form, is a system of government in which the people have the power to choose their rulers. Of the main indicators for a democracy is the existence of free and fair elections. In addition, a free press, freedom of expression, and adherence to freedom of religion and beliefs are some of the other pillars of democracy that enable the people of a country to consciously and voluntarily elect government officials. There are democratic or parliamentary governments in which the president or prime minister is determined by parliamentary elections or by direct popular...

If you thought Gov. Gavin Newsom looked like a game show host before, you should see him now, handing out cash and prizes at vaccination sites around the state. It’s part of the state’s new “Vax for the Win” program. That’s really what they’re calling it. The state website reads like the script for a Publishers Clearing House commercial. “Listen up! Get vaccinated as soon as possible to be eligible for a $50 incentive card and other cash prizes,” the website announces. “Ten winners will be selected on June 15 to receive $1.5 million each—prizes totaling $15 million!” And there’s...

The White House is actively looking to dump Dr. Anthony Fauci amid recent flip-flopping and released emails that show further contradictions on the pandemic response. Jack Posobiec shared on Instagram the Biden administration is “discussing an exit strategy” for the highest-paid federal employee, and who the Democrats have praised as a “truth-teller.” Breitbart’s Political Editor Matt Boyle was also interviewed on America First with Sebastian Gorka on May 27 in which Boyle said he would not be surprised if the Democrats would sacrifice Fauci to save their credibility on the issue of the origins of coronavirus.

In a letter signed by 21 Senators, the lawmakers wrote to Biden saying, “We urge you to include recurring direct payments and automatic unemployment insurance extensions tied to economic conditions in your Build Back Better long-term economic plan.” ore than two million people have also signed onto an effort that calls on Congress to deliver $2,000 monthly stimulus checks to eligible Americans until the pandemic is over. The Change.org petition directly addresses the House and the Senate, urging both congressional chambers to draft a bill that would provide “$2,000 payments for adults and $1,000 payment for kids” until the pandemic...

Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, many Americans are starting to self-evaluate the nation’s public health agencies, including the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), to determine their role in preventing and suppressing the pandemic. If prying into the FDA and CDC’s previous reactions to other epidemics provides any insight, our national leading health agencies lack transparency, and have in fact harmed the public by their failure to provide truthful evidence. This cynicism of the science coming out of the FDA and CDC should have started earlier. In the late summer...

The sick plot to overturn morality. Big corporations participating in this crap, except they scrub their "pride" virtue signaling from their ads in Muslim countries.

..... Viruses are efficient. Once released, they will routinely evolve to circumvent any vaccine. That is their nature for it is how nature survives – survival of the fittest. It will mutate to survive and in the process, it may kill the very host it is infecting. There is a 13-year cycle in Influenza outbreaks which was reported on January 26, 2020. The last pandemic with respect to the strain of the Influenza was 2009. The next one of those to reach a possible level of a pandemic will be in 2022. This is where the largest death toll appears...

Three former senior members of Mueller’s team will do the main work teaching the courseFormer Justice Department special counsel Robert Mueller will "share lessons" from his investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election and alleged ties to the Trump campaign during an upcoming course at the University of Virginia, the school announced Wednesday.

If you are fighting the American nation state, if you are fighting the values and virtues that make this country great, the conservative movement should be about nothing if not reducing your power, and if necessary, destroying you. We cannot let the people who are driving this country into the ground continue to enrich themselves from special benefits, from tax breaks, from subsidies, or from liability protections. That is the simple rule that we should follow. Harvard University’s $120 billion endowment is ammunition for our enemies, and we can’t let the enemy have that much ammunition or we’re going to...

Lou Gehrig’s worst full season was his best. Despite leading the league in games played (as always), he hit fewer than 30 homers for the first time in a decade, and his batting average dropped nearly 60 points and tied for his career low. His conditioning was questioned, his games-played streak was scrutinized, his All-Star selection was widely lamented. And even when the season ended with his Yankees once again victorious in the World Series, Gehrig’s four singles in 14 at-bats had barely been a factor. Back in 1938, it would have been preposterous to propose that Gehrig was having...
