Residents in one Chicago ward are “giving up” on calling the police as the city fails to protect them from violent crime, according to one city council member. Alderman Raymond Lopez described the violence plaguing his constituents in the city’s 15th Ward and beyond, slamming Democratic Mayor Lori Lightfoot, whose law enforcement policies and focus on systemic racism, he said, are doing little to stop the mostly gang-related violence. “Generational gang life isn’t just something that’s encouraged. It’s almost revered in some neighborhoods,” Lopez, whose constituents are about 67% Latino and 22% black, told the Washington Examiner in an interview....

President Joe Biden's former coronavirus czar scolded Americans for not sacrificing enough during the past year to stem the pandemic. Andy Slavitt, who resigned as a senior adviser to the White House pandemic response team last week, suggested that Americans were selfish and have only themselves to blame for the tragedies of the past year. He made the snide comments Monday on "CBS This Morning" while shilling his new book “Preventable: The Inside Story of How Leadership Failures, Politics, and Selfishness Doomed the U.S. Coronavirus Response."

Welcome back to Education Insanity, a weekly column updating you on the most insane events taking place in our nation’s schools. Here, we’ll delve into the growing presence of critical race theory, the ideology that claims that America is irredeemably rooted in racism, and “woke” culture. Let’s get started. 10. NYC Law School Makes ‘Systemic Racism’ Course A Graduation Requirement – Washington Free Beacon New York City’s Yeshiva University Cardozo School of Law — ranked 53rd in the nation — is mandating that students take a “race and the law” class in order to graduate.

The nearly simultaneous shutdown of four gigantic power plants in Texas — capable of powering almost 1 million homes — drove the region to the brink of yet another energy crisis this past week as temperatures soared, according to data analyzed by Bloomberg. All told, generators across the second-largest U.S. state were either down for repairs or running at reduced capacity when triple-digit heat was baking Texas, according to data compiled by Wood Mackenzie Ltd.'s Genscape unit. But the biggest impacts came from just a handful of facilities: a Vistra Corp.-owned 1.15-megawatt nuclear reactor, and three other giant facilities owned...

This first Juneteenth; we remember the liberation of black Americans who were enslaved by godless and lawless white American Democrats; but also the many abolitionist and white Americans who despised slavery and shed their own precious blood to redeem a people from their godless white oppressors and fron their horrific tyranny. The white and black oppressors of the lawless Left Democratic Party, who abhor Almighty God the Creator and His RIGHTEOUSNESS (Rom. 1:18-32) only seek to agitate, control, use, enrage and scare their black Democratic voters and to keep them on their state plantation. The very ones who are their...

And Saul was afraid of David, because the LORD was with him, and was departed from Saul. 1 Samuel 18:12 Keep praying warriors. The truth is leaking through the Pelosi’s Iron Curtain and people are realizing America is living the Big Lie. Bit by bit the lies about the Covid are coming out to the point liberals are arguing with each other whether they can continue to lie about the Wuhan lab being the source of the virus when it is obvious now to everyone except the distorter reporters. The Big Truth is beginning to be revealed showing how much...

ELEVENTH WEEK IN ORDINARY TIME MATTHEW 6:24–34 Friends, our Gospel today calls us to entrust our lives completely to God. How often the Bible compels us to meditate on the meaning of faith! We might say that the Scriptures rest upon faith, and that they remain inspired at every turn by the spirit of faith. Paul Tillich said that "faith" is the most misunderstood word in the religious vocabulary, and I’ve always felt that he’s right about that. What is faith? Faith is an attitude of trust in the presence of God. Faith is openness to what God will reveal,...

1. This is ridiculous! It's June 19th and people are still shooting fireworks to commemorate "Juneteenth." One almost caught our Christmas decorations on fire. ------ 2. A woman sitting at the Front Counter of Dink's Diner earlier today patiently explained to me why more women don't play golf: "We have more important things to lie about." ------ 3. ------ 4. If more politicians in this country were thinking about the next generation instead of the next election, it might be better for the United States and the world. --Claude Pepper ------ 5. Karaoke, a Japanese ritual where people that don't...

This first Juneteenth; we remember the liberation of black Americans who were enslaved by godless and lawless white American Democrats; but also the many abolitionist and white Americans who despised slavery and shed their own precious blood to redeem a people from their godless white oppressors and fron their horrific tyranny. Only when men and ethnicities have found forgiveness and pardon in Jesus Christ (Almighty God's ETERNAL Lamb of salvation), will the Babel curse be broken and then all can finally unify under the ETERNAL Son of Almighty God in RIGHTEOUSNESS (Rom. 10:2-4, 1 Cor. 12:12-14, Gal. 3:26-28, Eph. 2:11-22;...

A farmer living near Ismailia in Egypt has uncovered a 2,600-year-old stela erected by pharaoh Apries, who ruled from about 589 B.C., to 570 B.C., the Egyptian antiquities ministry reported. The farmer found this ancient slab of sandstone while preparing his land for cultivation, about 62 miles (100 kilometers) northeast of Cairo; he then contacted the Tourism and Antiquities Police about the discovery, the ministry statement said. The stela is 91 inches (230 centimeters) long, 41 inches (103 cm) wide and 18 inches (45 cm) thick. At the top of the stela is a carving of a winged sun disk...

What’s the best way to tell someone your pronouns at work? -The answer is clear, straightforward, and casual — in the same way you’d share what region or city you live in. - In-person, share them with your basic intro. “Hey! My name is Lily Zheng. I use they/them pronouns, and I’m a diversity, equity, and inclusion strategist living on Muwekma Ohlone land in the San Francisco Bay Area.” - Online, including in email signatures, you can include your pronouns (typically in the format of “X/X” or “X/X/X” (e.g. “she/her” or “she/her/hers”). - When it comes to asking someone their...

Interview with Israel holocaust survivor Vera Sharav (public advocate for human rights and the founder and president of the Alliance for Human Research Protection (AHRP)) interviewed by Dr. Reiner Fuellmich (German lawyer).

Axis deer are threatening parts of Texas and other areas in the United States. The axis deer, also known as the chital deer, is regarded as one of the most beautiful breeds of deer, and they're a far cry from the native Texas whitetail deer. What are they? Axis deer (scientific name Axis axis) sport an orange coat dotted with white spots--similar to that of a whitetail fawn--and white patches on their throats. They're classified under the Cervidae family, bearing resemblance to a number of other deer species such as the fallow deer. Axis deer males grow massive antlers, usually...

This is a serious rattlesnake den! Most people either love or hate snakes. Regardless of your opinions on these reptiles, most of us can agree we do not want to encounter too many venomous snakes in our outdoor adventures here in North America. Of course, it can be rather difficult to do that if you are in a major rattler snake state like Texas, Arizona, or New Mexico. In the case of today's video, it is Montana. This is not an ordinary snake sighting either. Literally dozens of rattlesnakes have all crammed into a small area, hiding out in crevices...

“The Tolkien Society has announced that the theme of its 2021 Summer Seminar, held July 3 – 4, will be ‘Tolkien and Diversity,’” reports the Daily Wire. This is not a parody. It only sounds like a parody, which is what makes observing the Woketard Gestapo in action from safe, sane, and tolerant Rural MAGA Land such a blast. Here’s a sampling of what Woketard Tolkien Fanboys can expect — you know, those whose lives are so empty, this is how they choose to spend a weekend: Gondor in Transition: A Brief Introduction to Transgender Realities in The Lord of...

Young homeless people in the Big Apple will soon be getting $1,250 in no-strings-attached cash each month — in a $2.5 million city-backed experiment to see if they use it to get off the streets and try to get jobs. The “Trust Youth Initiative” — partially funded by the city — will start with up to 40 homeless people ages 18 to 24, “especially Black, Indigenous, Latinx and LGBTQ youth,” the organizers said in a release. They will get the monthly cash for up to two years, with no limits on how they spend it — and larger up-front payments...

After an almost four hour hearing on Thursday, a judge denied a motion that the confession of a woman accused of helping dismember and hide the body of Fort Hood Army Specialist Vanessa Guillen be thrown out. Cecily Aguilar, 22, was charged in July 2020 with one count of conspiracy to tamper with evidence in connection with Guillen's death.
