President Biden on Friday tried to coax reporters to jump into the ocean at a seaside photo op in England, snidely joking, “everybody in the water” on the opening day of the annual G7 summit, which is expected to focus on plans for a global 15 percent tax as well as responses to COVID-19, global warming and cybercrime. Biden made the crack as he and first lady Jill Biden stood on a raised platform on a Cornish beach with UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson and his wife, Carrie Johnson.

We were treated to what at first appeared to be rare mea culpa this week as reporters read the Department of the Interior inspector general’s report on the riots and police response in Lafayette Park last summer and appeared shocked to find that the Park Police and Attorney General Bill Barr and even President Donald Trump were telling the truth when they said the crowd was going to be dispersed before police knew the president was thinking of coming down there.It’s rare to see what looks remotely like self-reflection in our self-obsessed corporate media, so it would be nice to...

Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced that his state will push forward and build its own wall at the southern border. Abbott revealed the Lone Star State’s plans to Breitbart shortly before a border summit in Del Rio, Texas on Thursday. Those plans were confirmed at the summit and reported by CBS Dallas-Fort Worth. “I will announce next week the plan for the state of Texas to begin building the border wall in the state of Texas,” he declared at the event.

I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom: Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables. But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do...

Medical Jim Crow in the U.S. Military – Unvaccinated West Point Cadets Forced to Live in a Single Tent We’ve seen numerous examples in recent weeks of medical, Jim Crow-style segregation in the United States. Although prior examples revolved around public spheres for American citizens, these latest reports reveal the same treatment inflicted upon unvaccinated West Point cadets. According to parents of cadets, those unvaccinated from the experimental COVID-19 jabs were forced to cram together in the same tent. And this treatment will continue for the duration of summer training. Trending: New Video Shows Antifa Breaking into the Capitol Building...

Many Americans—focused on their businesses, careers, home, and family—prefer to ignore the political battles and attendant controversy dividing our country. But neutrality is no longer an option. Alexis de Tocqueville wrote about Americans’ love of being left alone. He called it “individualism,” and he fretted that one of the risks to our experiment in self-government was the tendency to retreat from questions concerning the public—political questions—in favor of enjoying our private lives. The risk, he recognized, was that retreating would enable subversion of the whole polity by people manipulating it for their own gain. Sound familiar? Our society has morphed...

There are times, especially in DC politics, when we get so wrapped up in analyzing the problems that we miss the underlying message. A perfect example may have been happening the last few days with Kamala Harris and Jill Biden waging a shade war against each other, and the White House appears to be backing Biden in the match. A flippant comment by Harris regarding why she hasn’t been to the border was widely covered by conservative media. We generally mocked and insulted her for the seemingly nonsensical reply, but what if there was more to it? During an interview...

Thursday on FNC’s “The Ingraham Angle,” Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) weighed in on Biden chief medical advisor Anthony Fauci’s approach to determining the origins of COVID-19 and the reluctance to blame the Chinese government for the introduction of the virus. The South Carolina Republican lawmaker suggested the efforts to frame the so-called lab-leak theory as a conspiracy theory were to deflect attention from a “relationship” some within the U.S. government had with the Wuhan lab.

Hoover Institution Senior Fellow Victor Davis Hanson joined Fox News to rip the Federal Reserve for being more concerned with targeting gender pronouns than dangerous inflation. Fox News host Tucker Carlson said during the June 10 edition of Tucker Carlson Tonight that he obtained a Federal Reserve memo instructing employees to dispense with “offensive” words and phrases. Carlson said these words included: “‘Founding Fathers,’ ‘man-made,’ and singular pronouns like ‘he’ or ‘her.’” Hanson was not having any of it. Hanson explained that the Federal Reserve being woke was “characteristic of all bureaucracies, that when they can’t solve an existential problem,...

The COVID-19 vaccine story is currently dominated by three drugs: The Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech mRNA drugs, and the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine. I recently dissected the dubious science behind the latter two drugs here and here. As my previous articles explained at length, the science supposedly supporting the Pfizer-BioNTech and Oxford-AstraZeneca drugs is a bad joke. It is also a matter of record that both Pfizer and AstraZeneca are corporate criminals, having racked up billions in penalties over the last two decades for a host of dishonesty offenses including fraud, bribery and false marketing. The world is now being asked to forgive...

Under the Biden regime, US Border Patrol agents are being told not to arrest human smugglers offloading groups of illegal immigrants into the US right in front of them. A Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) officer told the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) that all federal officers who work along the river are now subject to this “stand-down” attitude for operations. CIS relates a now increasingly common scene: “The Border Patrol agents working under the international bridge here got busy fast with ‘processing’ duty after the first three rubber rafts delivered their loads of illegal immigrant families. But with...

“Bishop” T.D. Jakes blasted white evangelical Christians during a “woke” interview with the far-left magazine, “The Atlantic.” Jakes, pastor of The Potter’s House Church in Texas, was interviewed for a story titled, “T.D. Jakes on How White Evangelicals Lost Their Way.” “I think white evangelicals lost sight of “What would Jesus do?” because they only define Jesus in very narrow terms,” Jakes told the leftist magazine. It sounds like something Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton would say. Is the black bishop simply misinformed or does he harbor bigoted feelings toward white Christians? Following, is the pertinent portion of the interview:...

Now it seems that lawmakers in New York State have given final approval to legislation that could allow civil lawsuits to be brought against gun makers and dealers. The measure, if signed by Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo, would make the Empire State the first to allow civil suits against firearms companies. It would circumvent the federal law that offers legal immunity to the firearms industry by amending state nuisance law.

President Biden and first lady Jill Biden kicked out the British media — to get the pub garden table they wanted, video shows. Jon Sopel, the BBC’s North America editor, had been sitting on the patio of Treganna Castle in Cornwall on Thursday when he was seemingly surprised by the unexpected arrival of the commander-in-chief and his wife. “A first in my career. @POTUS comes and sits down at table in a bar next to me and orders a drink. Am trying to act nonchalant,” he tweeted alongside video of him shouting out, “How’s it going, Mr. President? Are you...

On Wednesday, while President Joe Biden was speaking before Air Force personnel in the United Kingdom, he had quite the senior moment, which is not atypical for the 78-year old. As the president began his remarks, it took him a moment before he realized that the military personnel in attendance were still standing, as he had not told them to sit down. He had already started telling a story when he noticed. "Please, at ease," Biden said. "I keep forgetting I'm president," he told the crowd. The service members did as they were told and sat down, while there was...

A Virginia mother who grew up under Chairman Mao Zedong’s communist regime in China slammed Critical Race Theory at the Loudoun County School Board Meeting this week, calling it “the American version of the Chinese Cultural Revolution.” “I am very alarmed by what’s going on in our schools,” Xi Van Fleet said at the school board meeting. “You are now teaching and training our children to be social justice warriors, and to loathe our country, and our history.” “Growing up in Mao’s China, all of this seems very familiar,” the mother continued. “The communist regime used the same critical theory...

Rep. Rashida Tlaib blasted House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Democratic leadership for a statement they put out Thursday about Rep. Ilhan Omar 'Freedom of speech doesn't exist for Muslim women in Congress. The benefit of the doubt doesn't exist for Muslim women in Congress,' Tlaib tweeted Pelosi and top Democrats said Omar was fomenting 'prejudice' by drawing false equivalence between democracies like Israel and terrorist groups like Hamas Beyond support from her fellow 'Squad' member, the Congressional Progressive Caucus also came out in defense of Omar 'We cannot ignore a right-wing media echo chamber that has deliberately and routinely attacked...
