Leftist environmentalists have taken advantage of an Alaskan tribe's hypocritical grievances to ban drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.resident Joe Biden continued to follow through on his campaign pledge to enact leftist environmentalism this month when he suspended oil and gas leases in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR). The decision was cheered by leftist environmental groups as a victory for wildlife and social justice, supposedly protecting indigenous tribes from the alleged devastation of oil and gas drilling hundreds of miles from their homes. Biden Climate Adviser Gina McCarthy celebrated the move as “an important step forward fulfilling President...

Democrats did not win the last Senate elections. Republicans did. They did not win by as wide a margin as they needed to maintain control of the Senate, but the American people backed them, not Democrats. And Democrats cannot handle that. They pretend that they received a landslide last November and January, when they actually lost. By believing their own Fake News, Democrats set themselves not only to fail but to fail spectacularly. Republicans won 20 of the 35 senate races last year. Republicans received 49% of the vote, Democrats 47%. This split the Senate 50-50. As president of the...

White House press secretary Jen Psaki quickly threw President Biden’s full support behind the Supreme Court’s unanimous landmark ruling this week that the National Collegiate Athletic Association can no longer restrict colleges from providing education-related benefits to athletes -- but steered clear of a related college-sports issue. “Our view is that, of course, NCAA student athletes work very hard, both on the athletic field and in the classroom,” Psaki told reporters during Monday’s press briefing, adding, “I’m a retired one myself” -- referring to her two years on the swim team at the College of William & Mary.

Tom McInerney (ret’d), who provided a good deal of new information about the top-level Chinese defector Dong Jinwei, who brought his daughter to America with him.

Almost a year ago, on 28 June 2020, a mob of loud, screaming BLM protestors in St. Louis, Missouri, followed the agitators/leaders into private property through a locked gate. Reacting to the threats, Mark and Patricia McCloskey grabbed two firearms, an AR-15 type rifle, and an inoperable Bryco semi-automatic pistol. The McCloskeys seemed fully justified under Missouri law. The state Attorney General defended them in public. The Governor said he would pardon them if they were prosecuted.This did not deter radical St. Louis Circuit Attorney (prosecutor) Kim Gardner. She insisted on prosecuting the McCloskeys. Eventually, she was removed from the...

... Multiple women were seen twerking on the top of an ambulance in Lake Merritt in Oakland, California on Saturday night, as paramedics attempted to make their way through to the scene of a shooting in which one person was killed and at least seven others were wounded. The ambulance was stopped in its tracks by the crowd which was said to be around 1,000-strong as people gathered to celebrate Juneteenth after it was declared a federal holiday. As the ambulance arrived at the scene, the revelers continued to party, with no apparent regard for the seriousness of the situation...

Dear Southern Baptists: Though I am an elderly man, I am your kid. And though I am no longer a pastor in a Southern Baptist church, I am employing skills and applying knowledge you nurtured in me beginning in 1950 when I first joined a Southern Baptist church at age nine. Through scholarships and grants you enabled me to graduate from a Baptist school, Samford University, and then attend Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. Alabama Baptists surprised me in 1983-1985 by twice electing me president of the million-member Alabama Baptist State Convention. You licensed me to ministry in 1958 and ordained...

President Biden on Tuesday praised Carl Nassib and Kumi Yokoyama, two professional athletes who recently came out to the public, saying that their decision means that “countless kids around the world are seeing themselves in a new light today.” “I’m so proud of your courage,” Biden tweeted.

Watch the oral arguments in the case of Duncan v. Becerra, which is reviewing Judge Benitez's 2019 ruling that California's ban on firearm magazines with a capacity over 10 rounds is unconstitutional. Judge Benitez's ruling was upheld 2-1 by a three judge 9th Circuit panel in 2020.

COVID-19 has revolutionized how we think about online college teaching. Until last spring, two perspectives predominated. One argued that massively enrolled online classes presented by impressive teachers or prestigious universities would increase efficiency while preserving quality. The other worried about the quality of online classes, and that the gap between those able to afford in-person classes at elite universities and those who can’t, would widen. We now have a year of experimentation with entirely online classes. What have we learned? My sense is that among faculty, at least, the question has changed from whether online education is a good or...

"Kamala has the answer!" An excited Howard Bashford, the vice president's deputy auxiliary assistant for matters of minor importance today (DAAMMIT) told us Ms. Harris, despite naysayers in the media, actually had come up with a solution to the crisis on our southern border. "First off," he said, "Guatemalan President Alejandro Giammattei was utterly unreasonable when the vice president suggested that he – along with Juan Orlando Hernandez of Honduras and El Salvador's Nayib Bukele – agree that our immigration problems were due to their corruption. "Sure, they'll go along with the idea that they have a minor, criminal-gang problem,...

With all due respect to Kamala Harris and Howard Dean, it is Andrew Yang who holds the crown for the most awkward presidential campaign of the twenty-first century (so far). Or have you forgotten when he declared, “I’m the full service presidential candidate,” and gleefully squirted whipped cream into the mouths of kneeling supporters, until he was pulled away by a mortified aide? Yang is now running for mayor of New York, and he seems to have learned his lesson: asked Sunday what he thought about Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Gaza) likening the U.S. and Israel to Hamas and the Taliban,...

S.1 failed to advance in the Senate, leaving progressives in disarray. For months, activists and politicians have pushed the phony narrative that new “Jim Crow” voting laws are putting democracy in peril, all to build pressure for a sweeping federal takeover of elections. But the euphemistically-named “For the People Act” has failed to win the support of even 50 Senators, prompting progressives to begin teeing up the backup plan: HR4, the Voting Rights Advancement Act. It’s easy to see why S.1 stalled. The bill upends the election systems of all 50 states. Its provisions eliminate voter ID laws, let partisan...

At Christ's Judgment Seat for His redeemed saints, which will take place after the Rapture of His Church; The blood-washed saints of Christ will be examined and proved by Almighty God the Son's RIGHTEOUS PERSON, PERFECTION, and HOLY FIRE (Psalm 12:6; 18:30; 19:8-10; John 1:1-3; John 17:17, 1 Cor. 3:9-16, Heb. 12:28-29, Rev. 1:12-18; 22:12)! ALL that was built upon this FOUNDATION (THE ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS SON of ALMIGHTY GOD) will remain and rewards will be given (Matt. 7:24-25, John 17:17, 1 Cor. 3:9-16, Rev. 22:12)! All that is outworked in the flesh and in error will be TOTALLY CONSUMED by...

According to the establishment media, critical race theory, or CRT, is a distraction. It is a right-wing smear. It is a conservative attempt to quash the dark side of American history. Most of all, according to the establishment media, you must never -- ever -- pay attention to the infusion of CRT into the nation's institutions of power. According to MSNBC's Chuck Todd, controversy over CRT is a "creation ... It keeps people watching or it keeps people clicking." According to CNN's Bakari Sellers, CRT is just "America's history." According to The Washington Post's Jonathan Capehart, those who criticize CRT...
