Yet another leak — from another news outlet — suggests trouble brewing in Vice President Kamala Harris' office. Axios' report on internal turmoil and other woes in the vice president's office was immediately brushed off by Biden officials, including White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain. "The President's trust and confidence in her is obvious when you see them in the Oval Office together," he told the outlet in a statement. But it's the third report just this week — following CNBC and Politico's lead — to express concerns of tension in the White House. Multiple people allegedly threw around...

U.S.A. –-(AmmoLand.com)- On June 4th, 2021, in the Southern District of California, Judge Roger T. Benitez found the complex regulatory scheme of California gun laws that outlaw the ownership of “Assault weapons”, particularly semi-automatic clones of the AR-15, are unconstitutional violations of the Second Amendment on their face.From the decision:Like the Swiss Army Knife, the popular AR-15 rifle is a perfect combination of home defense weapon and homeland defense equipment. Good for both home and battle, the AR-15 is the kind of versatile gun that lies at the intersection of the kinds of firearms protected under District of Columbia v....

On America’s 245th birthday, will Dementia Joe Biden attempt another stirring rendition of the Declaration of Independence? Who can forget his memorable oration last year before the primaries on Super Tuesday (or, as President Biden called it, “Super Thursday”). “We hold these truths to be self-evident,” Biden said. “All men and woman created by — you know, you know, the thing …” He keeps trying. In May Biden got as far as “life, liberty,” then ended with “et cetera.” No mention of the next phrase: “pursuit of happiness.” Wonder why. What would the Founding Fathers think on this Independence Day...

Dr. Anthony Fauci said in a "Meet the Press" interview that anti-vaxxers might bring up Delta variant rates regionally.

DAD, WHAT's UNABHÄNGIGKEITSTAG?"Is that when the thirteen colonies broke away from England?" My ten year inquired out of nowhere at 6 AM German time this morning. "Yeah, why do you want to know, eat your breakfast," I mumbled, too sleepy to be very curious. "Because I am afraid my teacher will ask me, since I am wearing this T-shirt and I'm the only American in the class." With an effort, I adjusted my gaze upward to his white T-shirt. It was brand new. Prominent on his breast was an image of the flag and below that:OLD NAVY FREEDOM 2005 TRADITIONWaking...

38-year-old King George III ruled the largest empire that planet earth had ever seen. The Declaration of Independence, signed JULY 4, 1776, listed 27 reasons why Americans declared their independence from the King: ... He has made judges dependent on his will alone ... ... He has erected a multitude of new offices, and sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people and eat out their substance. ... He has kept among us, in times of peace, standing armies ... ... To subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution ... ... For quartering large bodies of armed...

The decision was made at the 2021 NEA Annual Meeting, where a number of significant issues were discussed, including a vote on mandatory COVID vaccinations, masks, and testing for students. As detailed by the now-approved proposal, teachers will be required to learn more about CRT and fight back against anti-CRT efforts, including efforts to...

As a dual American and an Israeli, July 4 has always had a dual special meaning. That is, since 1976, America’s bicentennial. Like many American children, the year leading up to and during the bicentennial was a period of sharing national pride in all that America stood for, and its history. Growing up in a town with a famous revolutionary war battlefield, the reenactment of that battle made things extra vivid. As an Israeli, it is remarkable to me that after 200 years, the U.S. was able to celebrate its independence by reenacting the war in which it fought to...

Tense protests erupted outside a California spa where a transgender allegedly exposed himself to children, teens, and adults in the women’s area. Most of the brawls happened in Downtown Los Angeles outside Wi Spa on Wilshire Boulevard. Groups allegedly showed up in support of the woman who complained about the incident. But the video shows the presence of Antifa who acted aggressively! Police said shortly before 1 p.m. that they had not declared an unlawful assembly. A number of confrontations took place at Wi Spa at 2700 Wilshire Blvd., where a protest of the spa’s policy was scheduled for 11...

Americans celebrating our 245th birthday this weekend largely fall into two groups. Those in the first will simply take it for granted that freedom rings—assume that the liberties we’ve traditionally enjoyed are liberties we will always enjoy—turn on the ball game, hit the pool, and look for the fireworks. That’s a choice most Americans will happily make.Those in the second group will do something many of us do when we hit one of our own personal milestone birthdays—30, 40, 50, etc. We can pause, if only for a moment or two, to assess where we are, and where we’re going.Things...

Happy Birthday America! The Declaration of Independence gave birth to the only country on earth founded on the twinned principles of individual freedom and limited government.From that date forward “progressives” have attempted to flip the dynamic of limited government and individual freedom. They see our Constitution, in the words of Barack Hussein Obama, as “a charter of negative liberties” that is free to be changed to reflect what they believe is a better vision of governance – founding principles be hanged.Certainly there are wrinkles and pitfalls with liberty, human nature being what it is. But they pale in comparison to...

Dear Friends, In light of January 6th, let us hear from the ghosts of our American past and their warnings to us in 2021. One of the most remarkable observations in the study of history is the caution and warnings that are always given by Founders of great civilizations. It seems that those who lay foundations for great civilizations are quite aware of the seeds of pride, selfishness, and contention in human nature which over time usually begin to manifest themselves in society--even good societies. These Founders, realizing the tendency of human nature to degenerate, have always closed their public...

In Congress, July 4, 1776 The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America, When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that...

If you remember 1976, you recall "the Bicentennial Minute" that taught a moment's worth of American history each night on CBS, the story of how and why our nation began on July 4, 1776. "And the rockets' red glare, The bombs bursting in the air. Gave proof through the night. That our flag was still there." We should always be reminded that the reason why we have lived with so much freedom was because the men of 1776 were willing to fight and die in a revolution. Those are facts. But an anti-American elite promoting globalism (and foreign entanglements) regularly...

An interdisciplinary team of scientists from Montana State University's College of Agriculture and College of Letters and Science recently published research casting new light on a previously unknown element of the carbon cycle, thanks to data collected from Yellowstone National Park over more than a decade. Tim McDermott, a professor in MSU's Department of Land Resources and Environmental Sciences, began studying the microbiology of Yellowstone Lake in 2007. While collecting data to analyze the lake's chemistry and the interaction of various microbes in the lake with the park's underlying thermal features, McDermott noticed something seemed off. "We came across some...

A friend of mine who immigrated to the United States from one of the poorest countries in the world, Haiti, once joked to me, “Do you know why I love the US? Toilet.” He laughs easily. He grew up without one. His family didn’t have electricity until he was a teenager. At the age of 7, my Polish step-grandfather and his family were taken at night by Stalin’s secret police to the Siberian labor camps, after the Soviets and Nazis partitioned the country in 1939, simply because his father was a low-level military officer in Poland. Over six years with...
