Now that genetically modified mosquitos have been unleashed upon Florida in a "groundbreaking" experiment, it might be time to become familiar with the upcoming gene-editing world — especially since it will more than likely become part of the science and medical world, thus affecting society at every level of health care. You may ask, what is wrong with an advancement in health care that can save and improve lives? Well, nothing if this were a perfect and godly world. But it isn't. Gene editing can alter DNA in ways you need to know. This technique is coding body-altering information into...

So taxpayers will pay for breast implants in males, etc., but will the military also provide breast implants for biological female service "persons"? And re-plumbing urinary tracts for female to male transgender folks even though only 40% of such surgeries are without complications. And this is not to mention removing HEALTHY body parts from the gender disphoric, but not paying for glasses or dental route canals for retirees.

Everywhere other than in Big Media newsrooms, Americans speak openly of President Joe Biden's cognitive decline and wonder whether he can last out his four-year term. If he cannot last, there are certain things we can be confident will happen and other things about which we can only speculate. The latter will be much more intriguing. Should Biden leave office, willingly or otherwise, Kamala Harris will become president. This is a given. Article II, Section 1, Clause 6 of the Constitution makes clear that in "case of the removal of the President from office, or of his death, resignation, or...

Do you speak the grammatically-correct language of white supremacy, or are you better than that? At Maryland’s Towson University recently, a virtual conference ripped the racism of “rightful” words. June 17th’s Antiracist Pedagogy Symposium sought to shed light on selecting syllables. Associate Professor of Language, Literacy, and English Education April Baker-Bell — of Michigan State University — insisted teachers’ enforcement of standard English rules is an assault on “black language.” Furthermore, per Campus Reform, she indicated black Americans bear a burden of racist violence. White language guidelines, from the sound of things, aren’t too dissimilar: “[It’s apparent that] anti-blackness that...

When Britney Spears testified that she’s on birth control against her will, abortion activists championed her case in the name of “reproductive freedom” and “bodily autonomy.” But pro-life figures recognized it as something else: a “severe human rights abuse.” On June 23, the pop star made headlines after pleading with a Los Angeles Superior Court judge to end the conservatorship that has placed her under her father’s control for the past 13 years. In 2008, after Britney suffered from a public breakdown, Jamie Spears legally assumed control of his daughter’s life and finances. His involvement continued as she released new...

A task force surely composed of college graduates (aka Marxists) has attacked America’s Founders, ideas, and architecture. The National Archives and Records Administration (“NARA”), unofficially founded along with America but officially founded in 1934, exists to preserve historic American records and document government activities. Sadly, it’s currently staffed with hardcore Marxists who hate America, both its history and its current configuration. That is the only conclusion one can draw from an NARA task force report saying that NARA, is structurally racist, from the reverence shown for those who created this nation to the architecture of the classical NARA building. Here’s...

If one pattern has been constant everywhere throughout the entirety of the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s that the implementation or relaxation of mask mandates had absolutely zero correlation with any rise or fall in virus infection numbers. Implement forced public masking, and cases inevitably went up, even if weeks or months later. Relax them, as has been the fortunate trend of late, and cases continue to fall. Even if they rise some again in a few months with the onset of respiratory virus season, it will have nothing to do with masks. After all, last year’s major fall/winter spike came with...

152 deaths, not 17,000, according to the court. The campaign to scare the world into adopting unprecedented abridgements of civil liberties to fight a purported pandemic that threatened unthinkable levels of casualties had a lot of help from the officials charged with counting the death toll. Most readers of American Thinker are familiar with anecdotes such as the motorcyclist who died in a crash but was counted as a “COVID death” because he had a positive test for antibodies. An audit by two Minnesota state legislators late last year estimated that COVID deaths in that state were overcounted by about...

A would-be cop-killer caught in Georgia after shooting a cop in the head in Daytona Beach is a "hero" to the crazies on social media that the social media barons can't bring themselves to ban. As if the things going on on the left couldn't get crazier, a slew of social media characters are posting cheer to man who cold-bloodedly shot a cop in the head in Daytona Beach, Florida. Fox News has the story: Othal Wallace, the suspect in a manhunt that ended Friday morning after a Daytona, Florida, police officer was shot in the head while on duty,...

One has to hope that Grandpa Badfinger is merely cruising down Sundowner Drive in his mental Datsun B-210, because the alternative is that our president* is an idiot. Now, both could be true simultaneously – he could be senile and a quarter-wit – but if that were true, it would make this the first time this ridiculous timeserver ever multitasked any kind of achievements, however dubious. Usually, he’s content to fail at just one thing at a time, which makes him good enough for government work, and thereby, for the Democrat Party. President Asterisk said something remarkably stupid last week,...

My dear friend, Satan is no dope or buffoon. He is a diabolical genius who fully comprehends the inner workings of Adam’s fallen race and knows how to perfectly play humanity like a fiddle to fulfill all of his demonic anti-God agenda (Isa. 14:12-15, Matt. 4:9, Eph. 2:2-3, Rev. 13:4). He is a human hunter and a destroyer and knows exactly what bait to use to bring down a culture and society which has had the Bible and Almighty God in its beginnings and founding (John 8:44). As one reads through the biblical account of Adam’s fallen race one satanic...

Never mind that obsessing over climate change never has helped us and never will help us win any war. Speaking to American troops at RAF Mildenhall, England, on his trip to Europe, President Biden recounted an exchange with the Joint Chiefs as vice president: "This is not a joke. You know what the Joint Chiefs told us the greatest threat facing America was? Global warming." Those comments were the latest in a Pentagon policy redux to return climate change to Obama-era status that it is an "urgent and growing threat to our national security." This began only days after inauguration,...

Sen. Ron Johnson (Wis.) on Saturday urged his fellow Republicans to "take back" local government positions in order to "take back our culture." Johnson made the remarks in a speech to Wisconsin's state GOP convention, where his presence was met with applause and chants of "six more years," The Capital Times reported. The senator bemoaned what he characterized as the Republican Party neglecting local offices in favor of federal positions. "Take back our school boards, our county boards, our city councils. We will take back our culture. We don't have to fear this anymore," Johnson said, according to the Times....

Representative Maxine Waters (D-CA) said Sunday on Fox 40’s “Inside California Politics” that Republicans and Fox News would not stop the investigation into the January 6 riot on Capitol Hill. Anchor Frank Buckley said, “Chairwoman Waters, as you know Republicans blocked the 9/11 style commission to investigate the January 6 attack on our Capitol. Late this week, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced there will be a House Select Committee to bring together all of the House investigations under one umbrella. Are you satisfied that the House Select Committee will provide the answers about who is behind the attempt to stop...

If you're a self-styled "social advocate," the last thing you're going to do is blame the current crime surge on the criminals. Instead, appearing on Tiffany Cross's MSNBC show Saturday morning, former LAPD cop Cheryl Dorsey blamed . . . the police, calling them "butt-hurt" and "cowardly."Why, in Dorsey's view, are police "butt-hurt?" Because, she claimed, "they can't run willy-nilly through a police department and abuse with reckless abandon." Dorsey then described police leaving specialized units as "cowardly." Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

Democratic leaders are engaging in a cynical bait-and-switch in a “deal” on a federal infrastructure bill. Every Republican in the Senate, including those who initially signed on to what they thought was a good-faith agreement, should reject the Democrats’ ploy. **SNIP** Before the sun had even set on the agreement, however, Biden and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi both effectively reneged on it. Now, they say they won’t enact the compromise package unless a second bill, containing almost all of their other extravagances, passes at the same time through budget reconciliation rules, which will allow passage with a simple majority of...
