Mayor Lori Lightfoot (D) pushed for more federal gun control Tuesday as Chicago gun violence surges and firearm-related homicides continue to increase. Breitbart News reported eight people were shot inside a residence Tuesday, leaving four dead and four wounded while 43 people were shot over the weekend in Chicago and 55 were shot the previous weekend in the city.

It's hard to know what's worse -- brainwashing kids or lying about it. Parents worried their kids are being indoctrinated with critical race theory can't get straight answers. Local school boards and principals lie to them, claiming children are merely being taught to be "critical thinkers." On Saturday, the truth came out. Teachers unions and activists held rallies in 22 cities to support critical race theory. What they said was eye-popping. They unabashedly declared that their goal is indoctrinating students in far-left causes. The Zinn Education Project, which organized Saturday's events, produces race-centric material for junior high and high schools...

In light of the death of our Republic, My eyes will remain focused on Almighty God with ALL my heart (Phil. 4:4)! The God of ETERNAL RIGHTEOUSNESS; the One who reigns FOREVER and EVER; the One who holds ETERNITY in His hand as a grain of sand; the ETERNAL God of EQUITY, JUSTICE, AND TRUTH (Psalm 119; Isa. 6:1-3; Hab. 3:17-19; Rev. 4-5)! The ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS God of ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS LOVE, (John 3:16-17;1 John 4:10)! For in Him alone is ETERNAL Victory! In Him will I trust! In Him will I rejoice and in Him will be my ETERNAL joy!...

WASHINGTON, Saturday, June 15. There is no doubt that the rebels are falling back on Manassas Junction, and that they are making all haste to get away from the column approaching from the West. You may depend upon it, they cannot live long at the Junction. There is no water there except what is drawn from wells. It is no centre of provisions, and has no communication with a productive country, or with any great depot of supplies, except Richmond, and Richmond needs all her own resources to take care of herself. They must therefore move from Manassas, and towards...

Throughout 2020 the Black Lives Matter terrorist group was linked to conservatively 91% of the riots that resulted in the most expensive property damage in US insurance historyThere were zero Trump rallies that turned violent during this same time period.Then on January 6, after one million Trump supporters rallied with President Trump at the Ellipse outside the White House, some 900 individuals went inside the US Capitol. Over 400 have since been arrested even those who were waved into the US Capitol by the police standing at the exits.Since January the Deep State and Democrats will not release videotapes to...

The arrogance of the liberal media can be measured by their dismissal of all conservative criticism as "bad faith" attacks on the press. Assuming that conservative critics are dishonest and disreputable cynics is a common trope of CNN's Brian Stelter when liberal journalists become mired in scandal. In a June 15 "Academic Minute" podcast, Marist College professor Kevin Lerner explicitly defined the entire conservative movement as bad-faith media critics. "These bad-faith attacks on the press began to rise most recently in the 1960s and '70s, led by a concerted effort among conservative journalists and critics," Lerner argued. "Along with efforts...

President Biden is practicing “appeasement” of Russian President Vladimir Putin ahead of Wednesday’s scheduled summit between the two leaders in Switzerland, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) told Fox News Tuesday night. “The liberals believe that we’re the problem, not Russia,” Graham told “Hannity”. “That if we were just more reasonable, if we work with them and we gave them the ability to build the [Nord Stream 2] pipeline, if we got back in the new START treaty … everything would be just fine.”

Under the legislation, the federal holiday would be known as Juneteenth National Independence Day.

The confluence of the pandemic, gargantuan deficits, Democrat rule, and frenzied money creation by the Federal Reserve has gotten a lot of economic types and investors worried. There’s talk of inflation, hyperinflation, a stock market crash, and even the devaluation of the USD: i.e. the U.S. Dollar. I mydamnself thought the yogurt would finally hit the fan two years ago. That’s when the 10-year T-notes sold during our first trillion-dollar deficits (2009-2012) started coming due. But we’re still chugging along, so what do I know? Perhaps these gloom-and-doom sorts that one sees nowadays are alarmists or have something to sell....

During a portion of an interview aired on Tuesday’s “NBC Nightly News,” California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) responded to people blaming him for business closures in California by saying that he takes “responsibility for trying to save as many lives as we possibly could” and that he thinks being the first to implement a stay-at-home order “put us in a position to recover faster than other economies.” NBC News National Correspondent Miguel Almaguer asked, “For those who blame you, what do you say to them?”

Whidbey Island is a lovely place about 30 miles north of Seattle on the Puget Sound. Most days the tranquil sounds of rolling waves and chirping birds provide an escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. But these days, all is not so serene. Residents are complaining about the ruckus created by humongous container ships anchored off their shore. "We've never seen them this close before," a Whidbey Islander told a local news station. "We're hearing the throbbing noise at night. ... It's a nuisance." The noise has been so loud that residents have been complaining to the...

Kamala Harris ought to complain to HR about Joe Biden. It is just not fair. As the first woman and the first person of color running for vice president, she helped him win the White House. They are supposed to be a team. Some team.

Environmental activists in the federal government are wasting no time recovering their Obama-era swagger and aggressively taking ground. On February 1, President Biden issued Executive Order 14008, which promotes a “whole of government” approach to fighting climate change. Four months later, we are starting to see what that looks like. From the Treasury Department to the Department of the Interior, the federal government is pushing a radical agenda to control more of our property and activities. For example, on May 26, the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (FWS) proposed listing the Lesser Prairie Chicken under the Endangered Species Act (ESA)....

With positives and negatives, deciding if a red dot sight is right for you boils down to your handgun’s mission. So, in the form of a disclaimer, I am old. Fifty-one years old, to be exact. As a soldier and a cop, I’ve been making a living with a gun for nearly my entire adult life. I can say, with some degree of distinction, that I have carried just about every variety of AR/M-16 that has ever been used by the US military: M-16A1, M-16A2, M203, M4 and the AR-15 patrol rifle. With age comes a certain amount of suspicion...

Tara Houska trained at the Rockwood Leadership Institute, which is closely tied to the communist group Liberation Road Communists are descending upon Minnesota to stop the replacement of a portion of the “50-year-old, deteriorating” Line 3 Pipeline by Canadian-based company Enbridge. One of the spokespeople for the so-called “direct action” is Tara Houska, a former Bernie Sanders advisor and 2020 alum of the radical training school known as the Rockwood Leadership Institute. During a friendly interview with taxpayer-funded “news” outlet PBS, Tara Houska menacingly stated that Joe Biden needs to shuts down the project like he did with the Keystone...

We are living in a P.C. culture. In the past few years, we’ve seen multiple celebrities canceled for comments that have been taken to be offensive against African Americans or Black Lives Matter. Meanwhile, Joe Biden and his son, Hunter, get a free pass when openly insulting Black people. There’s a long list of celebrates who got canceled after they purposefully or accidentally said or tweeted offensive remarks against Black people, including remarks that were not objectively racist but were perceived as racist. For example, Roseanne Barr, Megyn Kelly, and “The Flash” star Hartley Sawyer were each fired from their...

“The Biden administration’s first major move on Cuba is the strongest signal yet it has little appetite to reverse Trump-era policies toward the island nation…The State Department this past week listed Cuba as among those “not cooperating fully with United States antiterrorism efforts,” renewing a determination first made in 2020. (by Trump Administration.) Well, well. You’d like to think the Biden team’s (backhanded) compliment to the Trump team might issue from an actual analysis of how Trump’s Cuba policy protected U.S. interests. Alas, it’s probably nothing more than domestic realpolitik—i.e. an abashed recognition by Democrats of how thoroughly Trump shellacked...
