A past link to an activity described as eco-terrorism should disqualify President Joe Biden’s nominee to head the Bureau of Land Management, according to a Republican senator. Sen. John Barrasso of Wyoming responded critically to nominee Tracy Stone-Manning’s role in sending a threatening letter on behalf of an environmentalist group that committed tree spiking crimes in 1989. “Tracy Stone-Manning collaborated with eco-terrorists,” Barrasso said, according to the Daily Caller. “She worked with extreme environmental activists who spiked trees, threatening the lives and livelihoods of loggers.” “While she was given immunity from prosecution to testify against her companions in court, her...

Joe Biden and his overly-ambitious wife have been in the United Kingdom the last week, pretending to be royalty and generally projecting how much the United States is now taking a backseat on the world stage. That’s led to several awkward moments, including President Biden seemingly getting confused and having to be ushered away by Jill Biden. Then there was just the general embarrassment of a bunch of out-of-touch, vaccinated world leaders, elbow bumping each other because they are afraid to shake hands. Things are not fine, and the supposed leaders of the “free world” are projecting weakness at a...

Zhao Jian, a professor at Beijing Jiaotong University and railway expert, recently expressed alarm at the unsustainable finances of China’s high-speed railway system, remarking that it was an economic “gray rhino.” The term is used to refer to an obvious yet ignored threat.Beijing Jiaotong University is China’s top university for transportation science and technology, according to an academic ranking conducted by ShanghaiRanking Consultancy in 2018. The school receives funding from China Railway (formerly China’s Ministry of Railways, now a state-owned firm), city governments, and metro companies all around China.Zhao has worked for Beijing Jiaotong University since 1982 and has led...

Pre-Trib Rapture Arguments By Daymond Duck I have been away from my computer for a few days to speak at a conference, so here is a revised and updated version of an article that I wrote several years ago. It is a list of 45 reasons why I believe the Pre-Trib Rapture is right (save it so you can give it to Mid-Trib believers, Post-Trib believers, unsure believers, etc.). 1) There are no passages in either the Old Testament or the New Testament that say the Church will go through the Tribulation Period. 2) The Tribulation Period is called the...

An Arizona state Senator has warned US Attorney General Merrick Garland that he'll 'spend time in prison' if he interferes with the 2020 post-election audit, after Garland announced on Friday that the Justice Department will look into whether any federal laws were broken - and claimed the state was employing 'abnormal' methods."Some jurisdictions, based on disinformation, have utilized abnormal post-election audit methodologies that may put the integrity of the voting process at risk and undermine public confidence in our democracy," said Garland. State Rep. Wendy Rogers pushed back, tweeting: "You will not touch Arizona ballots or machines unless you want...

According to Zumper, national rent growth has accelerated to nearly 5% for 2 bedroom units. And the expected change in rent over the next 12 months is 9.5%. Of course, national home price growth (ignored directly in the inflation numbers) is 13.16% YoY according to Case-Shiller. Rent growth is highest away from traditional mega coastal cities like Seattle, San Francisco, Boston and New York City, and is highest in interior cities like Spokane WA, Gilbert AZ, Knoxville TN, Durham NC, and … Cleveland??? The Federal Reserve thinks they are fixing a hole in the economy, but they are creating inflation....

The Turkish DNA Project, an online endeavor to track Turkish genetics, is enraged at the popular genealogy site Ancestry.com and has called for it to be boycotted for stating an inconvenient truth: many, and possibly most, modern Turks are the descendants of the Greeks who once formed the overwhelming majority of the population of the land that is now Turkey. In this as in so many other instances, the truth hurts, but that doesn’t make it any less the truth.

The first of NASA's enormous Space Launch System (SLS) rockets stands as tall as the Statue of Liberty. Towering 212ft above the ground and flanked by its two smaller booster rockets, the core stage of the US space agency's next generation rocket has been photographed, for the first time, in its launch configuration ahead of its maiden voyage later this year. Designed to carry astronauts to the Moon and beyond, this gargantuan launch vehicle will play an integral part in NASA's Artemis program which aims to place astronauts on the Moon before 2030. The other key component will be the...

Scientists are reporting what they say is the longest sediment avalanche yet measured in action. It occurred underwater off West Africa, in a deep canyon leading away from the mouth of the Congo River. Something in excess of a cubic kilometre of sand and mud descended into the deep. This colossal flow kept moving for two whole days and ran out for more than 1,100km across the floor of the Atlantic Ocean. The event would have gone unrecorded were it not for the fact that the slide broke two submarine telecommunications cables, slowing the internet and other data traffic between...

[Catholic Caucus] WATCH: Paul VI, Maritain, Alinsky, and the New MassIn this talk, Catholic attorney and author Christopher Ferrara unveils the connections between Pope Paul VI, Jacques Maritain, Saul Alinsky, and the agenda behind the Novus Ordo Missae. Mr. Ferrara gave this presentation at our 2019 Conference, “The New Mass: Fifty Years of Problems”, held in the Chicago area.This lecture is particularly significant in light of recent news about the “imminent reform” of Summorum Pontificum by Pope Francis (see here, here, and here) — that is, an attempt to make access to the Traditional Latin Mass more restricted and difficult....

Israel's parliament the Knesset on Sunday approved a new coalition government, ousting longtime Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and making Naftali Bennett the new head of government. Netanyahu had held the role for 12 years, making him the longest-serving prime minister in Israel's history. The Israeli politician, mired in controversy and charged with corruption, had already failed to form a sustainable government after four elections within just two years. "This is a holiday for the press but a difficult day for millions of citizens of Israel," Netanyahu, who leads the right-wing Likud party, told reporters, according to The Jerusalem Post. "I...

A conversation on Twitter this week resurfaced a Wall Street Journal report from April about big investors getting into real estate, overbidding normal people to do so. “If You Sell a House These Days, the Buyer Might Be a Pension Fund,” the title says. “Yield-chasing investors are snapping up single-family homes, competing with ordinary Americans and driving up prices.” The resulting social media traffic made the article No. 1 on the WSJ website on June 10. “You now have permanent capital competing with a young couple trying to buy a house,” real estate consultant John Burns told the Wall Street...

COLUMBIA, S.C. (FOX 46 CHARLOTTE) – The U.S. District Court of South Carolina denied Friday an injunction filed by two death row inmates scheduled for execution starting next week. Death row inmates Brad Sigmon and Freddie Owens asked the court to find the electric chair to be declared cruel and unusual punishment violating the 8th amendment to the U.S. constitution. The case stems from Governor McMaster adding firing squad to the state’s execution methods except the firing squad is yet to be created and lethal injection is arguably unavailable. So Sigmon and Owens are set to die by the only...

The Consumer Price Index report for May indicated a 5% increase in consumer prices over May 2020. The report suggests that the United States is on track to experience a 9.0% increase in consumer prices in 2021. That would be the largest annual increase in inflation since 1980, when it was 12.5%. To say that is concerning, especially to those of us who lived through the terrible, dispiriting runaway inflation of the 1970s, is to wildly underestimate how bad the news is. In the 1970s, inflation routinely reached double digits, and it only came under control because of the intense,...

Throughout 2020, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) paid Western media outlets to push propaganda through positive reporting on China. In countries around the world, media coverage of China was more than twice as likely to be positive than negative during last year. The lack of negative media reports is surprising considering the CCP's covering up the outbreak of the global COVID-19 pandemic which caused millions of deaths, triggered a worldwide recession that contracted the global economy by an estimated 4.4 percent, and drastically altered life for every single human being on the planet.
