If moms are "birthing persons" then what are dads on Father's Day? Americans are being bombarded with ads for gifts for that special day for fathers. Should I say "sperm contributors" in preparation for our complete capitulation to the woke? The "sperm contributor" in your life may want that leather chair, or aftershave he'll never use, a box of fine Maduro cigars, a fly-fishing shirt, or perhaps Orwell's "1984" and a bottle of Glenmorangie 18 to wash it down. And on the special day of the gifts, he might want to grill something for the children and the "birthing person"...

While you might think it'd be easy to spot the signs it's time to break up with someone, it isn't always crystal clear. And this is especially true in emotionally abusive situations. If your partner is trying to control or manipulate you, it can create an atmosphere where even the biggest deal-breakers in a relationship suddenly seem normal. But if you keep an eye out for red flags — including the types of things toxic partners say that often point to underlying character flaws — you can start deciding if the relationship is truly working for you. The moment one...

CNN anchor Alisyn Camerota said Thursday on her show “Newsroom” that the year was a “humbling experience for many white folks” and included herself among those. Reporting on President Joe Biden signing the law-making Juneteenth a federal holiday, co-anchor Victor Blackwell said, “Gallup conducted a poll asking Americans how much do you know about the Juneteenth holiday? Thirty-seven percent of black adults said they know a lot compared to only 7 % of White adults. Thirty-two percent of white Adults said they know nothing about Juneteenth.”

Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem Psalm 98Psalm 98 A psalm. 1 Sing to the Lord a new song, for he has done marvelous things; his right hand and his holy arm have worked salvation for him. 2 The Lord has made his salvation known and revealed his righteousness to the nations. 3 He has remembered his love and his faithfulness to Israel; all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God. 4 Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth, burst into jubilant song with music; 5 make music to the Lord with the...

An apology followed in which the group insisted that “systemic and systematic oppression, racism, and the silencing of those who are the most affected by climate change” had been taking place for years: We apologise for the hurt, burnout, and trauma caused to many BIPOC individuals, including current and past members, as well as BIPOC-led groups. We also apologise for the further trauma caused by our slow action to take responsibility. We recognise that this apology can never be enough to make up for our actions on top of years of systemic and systematic oppression, racism, and the silencing of...

This is an important video to understand the rapid political movement to the far left. This is a 34 minute video. The leftist plan is being implemented, but we know their plan. The globalists always seem to do drills before they do something. Watch the drills. Possible disruptive event near term could be a massive cyber attack. Globalists do drills for problem events and then that exact thing happens. Operation Red Mirage, pandemic drills and now cyber attacks are the big focus. "Build Back Better" is a globalist phrase used frequently at the recent G7 meetings. Global minimum taxes a...

The political media have spent the entire Joe Biden presidency up to this point pressuring holdout moderate Democrats to join the left's efforts to destroy the legislative filibuster. One way they do this is by cobbling together revisionist histories that cast Republicans as uniquely obstructionist and undemocratic. CNN's White House correspondent John Harwood lays out that history in broad strokes: "for Clinton's 1993 deficit-reduction plan: 0 Republican votes for Obama's 2010 national health care plan: 0 Republican votes for Biden's 2021 covid-relief plan: 0 Republican votes the modern GOP response to Democratic governance is total resistance." What he fails to...

NEW RICHMOND, Wisconsin - For a few hours last weekend, thousands of Donald Trump’s supporters came together in a field under the blazing Wisconsin sun to live in an alternate reality where the former president was still in office — or would soon return. Clad in red MAGA hats and holding “Trump 2021” signs, they cheered in approval as Mike Lindell, the My Pillow creator-turned-conspiracy peddler, introduced “our real president.” Then Trump appeared via Jumbotron to repeat the lie that has become his central talking point since losing to Joe Biden by more than 7 million votes: “The election was...

In our current national moment, distinguishing respectful conduct or language toward others from patronizing condescension in matters of race is of great importance. You might think that making this distinction would be easy, but I suggest that in many circumstances it is not easy at all. Recently, many things that have become the latest fashion in what practitioners think is heightened respect appear to me to be exactly the opposite — condescension. That can be the case even where the respect-that-is-really-condescension is demanded by the recipient. And I am not the only one noticing this phenomenon. Let’s consider a few...

Juneteenth. It’s a profound holiday that was known by relatively few until now. I’ve written about it for years. It has special meaning to me for several reasons. Juneteenth (a mashup of June 19th) signified the nearly three-year delayed emancipation of 250,000 slaves in Texas who hadn’t yet received the news (even a month after the end of the civil war). It exemplified the hard-fought self-sacrifice of black and white brothers and sisters working together to end the evil of chattel slavery. It’s the anniversary date of the release of my book Not Equal: Civil Rights Gone Wrong which challenges...

The program that began under Obama – to turn our video into a social justice experiment – is now going into the full Marxist phase Conservatives believe that the American military exists to defend the nation and that this works best with tight unit cohesion based on shared experiences and alliances. Obama believed that the military was a social justice experiment that required welcoming open homosexuality and transgender troops. Trump was able to slow this trend, but he didn’t realize how deep the rot was in the Pentagon. The moment he was out of office, Biden appointed Lloyd Austin as...

On Thursday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “The Story,” Chicago Alderman Raymond Lopez (D) said that Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s (D) policies have “put the entire city under siege” and that “the Democratic Party on so many levels seems to be enamored with the mentality of being enablers to criminality.” Lopez said, “The only thing that is equitable about what the mayor’s policies have been is to put the entire city under siege and to spread fear and violence into every neighborhood, so much so that it’s now commonplace and doesn’t even raise an eye nationally.” He added that...

Move over van Gogh and Picasso. There is another artistic genius about to enter the scene. Hunter Biden. Until now, the world mostly thought his skills lay in his locomotive expertise thanks to years of riding the Amtrak choo-choo, according to Politico (though we've come to know it involved being adroit at doing cocaine). However, we now find out that his choo-choo knowledge is way overshadowed by his incredible artistic talent which led him to search for "universal truth" through painting according to ArtNet on Monday with their Hunter the Painter paean to the artist in waiting by Katya Kazakina,...
