I understand the concept behind a ‘blind date’, that causes you to focus on something other than whether or not a person is good looking, because looks aren’t everything, right? Right. But the new Netflix series ‘Sexy Beasts’ goes waaaaaaaay past merely disguising the superficial, and winds up smack dab in the end times bible prophecy zone. For real. Better buckle up for this one, ‘Sexy Beasts’ is one Hell of a ride. “There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they...

An Indiana woman on Wednesday became the first defendant to be sentenced in the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol and avoided time behind bars, while a member of the Oath Keepers extremist group pleaded guilty in a conspiracy case and agreed to cooperate with prosecutors in a major step forward for the massive investigation. The two developments signal that the cases against those charged in the deadly siege are slowly advancing, even as the U.S. Department of Justice and the courthouse in Washington, D.C., struggle under the weight of roughly 500 federal arrests across the U.S. And it...

After numerous studies and analysis, they have managed to recreate how the ‘Arkaim...

Scientists at Cornell University and the American Museum of Natural History have identified 2,034 nearby star-systems—within the small cosmic distance of 326 light-years—that could find Earth merely by watching our pale blue dot cross our sun. That's 1,715 star-systems that could have spotted Earth since human civilization blossomed about 5,000 years ago, and 319 more star-systems that will be added over the next 5,000 years. Exoplanets around these nearby stars have a cosmic front-row seat to see if Earth holds life, the scientists said in research published June 23 in Nature. "From the exoplanets' point-of-view, we are the aliens," said...

The United States Supreme Court handed freedom of speech a major victory today and it was nearly unanimous. The powerful nine justices ruled 8-1 in favor of the cheerleader who was punished by her high school for going on a profane Snapchat rant that her school did not like, even though the rant was NOT recorded on school grounds. The Supreme Court stated the high school was incorrect when they booted the cheerleader off the team, striking a victory for free speech because punishing a student for something they said while in their personal time and away from the school...

The Biden administration is set to address rising crime rates across the nation and former DC police detective Ted Williams stressed that Black on Black crime should be priority number one on "Your World with Neil Cavuto" Wednesday. TED WILLIAMS: In these neighborhoods, believe it or not, the neighbors and everybody know who the crooks are… What is going to be needed is number one, if I was the president, is that I would have a recruitment drive and every military base where the soldiers are, military people are about to get out of the military and try to get...

An astronomy course at prestigious Cornell University, concerned about racism in the universe, not just Planet Earth, asked the deathless question: “Is there a connection between the cosmos and the idea of racial blackness?” As famed author Heather Mac Donald, who has written numerous books, including “The War on Cops,” writes in City Journal, the course, titled “Black Holes: Race and the Cosmos,” notes in the catalog description that “conventional wisdom” asserts that the “‘black’ in black holes has nothing to do with race,” but astronomy professor Nicholas Battaglia and comparative literature professor Parisa Vaziri suggest the truth may be...

It started with my desire to learn about the Civil War. I wasn’t looking for history, I just wanted to know what would drive Americans to slaughter each other in such vast numbers (an estimated 640,000 to 700,000). I’ve written here about diving into Ken Burns’ Civil War series, and I lamented the utter waste of seeing another one on the horizon. There’s something that has been gnawing at me since then, since hearing the penetrating quotes of Frederick Douglass in particular regarding his experience as a slave, and in reading Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass. I think...

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — A federal judge Wednesday threatened to throw out the guilty plea of a veteran U.S. narcotics agent who conspired with a Colombian cartel money launderer — an unexpected twist that could derail one of the most egregious misconduct cases in the history of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration. U.S. District Judge Charlene Edwards Honeywell was expected to sentence the disgraced agent, Jose I. Irizarry, but refused to do so over what she called a “totally unacceptable” legal dispute. “I have never seen anything like this,” Honeywell said, postponing the sentencing indefinitely. “I’m not even sure at...

The family of Tamir Rice has spoken out publicly to denounce civil rights activist, Shaun King. Considered a fund raising fraud, King has frequently been accused of using an anti-police, pro-critical race theory platform for profit and notoriety. Samaria Rice, mother of the deceased Tamir Rice, released an Instagram post calling out King’s new podcast episode titled “I spoke to Samaria Rice this past week.” She accused King of using communications with the family for headline-hungry activism.

As of the latest tally, after a year and change of school shutdowns, only 47% of California students have returned for on-campus instruction, including only 42% of secondary school students. The ‘distance learning’ has been going on for so long some parents have been forced to hire private tutors to teach their children Critical Race Theory and trans-sexual pronoun usage. In Los Angeles County, only 34% of students are back in school, which is just over one-third of students. Not that LAUSD kids would know that — because they haven’t taken a math class in over a year. After a...

Tuesday Shaun King published a lengthy piece on The North Star titled “I spoke with Samaria Rice this past week.” Samaria Rice is the mother of Tamir Rice, the 12-year-old shot by police in a Cleveland park back in 2014. Today, Samaria Rice posted a statement on Instagram lashing out at King and accusing him of being a “white man acting black.”

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) said Wednesday there is a “likely association” of “mild” heart inflammation in adolescents and young adults after vaccination with an mRNA COVID vaccine and a warning statement is warranted. According to a report by the COVID-19 Vaccine Safety Technical (VaST) Work Group, the risk of myocarditis or pericarditis following vaccination with the mRNA-based shots in adolescents and young adults is notably higher after the second dose and in males. “Clinical presentation of myocarditis cases following vaccination has been distinct, occurring most often within one week after...

When Gov. Gavin Newsom announced plans for the state to pay off past-due rent for low tenants with federal relief money earlier this week, most state and national media outlets ran a headline along the lines of "Newsom says California will pay for past-due rent." "This cynical BS is why people hate politicians and maybe part of why our Governor faces recall," Preston tweeted Tuesday. "Rather than increase $ for back rent or issue a real eviction moratorium, Gov simply repackaged a prior announcement & went on a PR offensive. It has worked so far." Preston notes that Newsom first...

@TFASorg “Socialism doesn’t work. Now people will say, ‘No, we want kinder, gentler socialism.’ But the leaders of that system are moving away from it. Socialism doesn’t work.” - Rand Paul “If you want to help people, you have to believe in #capitalism. No other economic system helps people the way capitalism does. Capitalism allows excess money to flow back into the community.” - Rand Paul “The bigger your government, the less your liberty.” -Rand Paul

Happy Juneteenth! I hope you all had a lovely week celebrating the nation's newest federal holiday, which commemorates the end of slavery throughout the Confederacy. How could you not? The media was chock-a-block with commentators telling us what a fantastic, transformative event for our nation this was. But the media ignored the best part of all! What Juneteenth commemorates is not technically the abolition of slavery, but the notification thereof to a particular group of slaves. Although President Lincoln officially ended slavery with the Emancipation Proclamation on Jan. 1, 1863, it wasn't until two years later, on June 19, 1865,...
