Last year, New Yorker columnist Susan Glasser was so depressed/exhausted by Trump that she invented, with the help of a friend,an unpronounceable German word to describe Trump, "Trumpregierungsschlamasselschmerz." She delighted Stephen Colbert as she explained: "Trump, you got that. Regnorran is government. Schlamassle is what it sounds like, craziness. And then schmerz, is like soul-sickness. So it's like Trump government craziness soul-sickness."There were celebrations aplenty at MSNBC and similar places where Trump-loathing runs rampant when it was announced that the Trump Organization CFO Alan Weisselberg was indicted for not paying taxes on company fringe benefits. It was fervently hoped that...

This video tells about the new exciting sodium-cooled, high-assay-low-enrichment-uranium (HALEU) fueled small nuclear reactor that was one of the winners of the DOE Advanced Reactor Demonstration Program competition and will be built over the next few years. It utilizes molten-salt storage of the heat generated by the nuclear reactor, so it can "follow-the-load". This type of system could be the future of nuclear power. The demonstration reactor is planned to be constructed at a retired coal power plant site in Wyoming, so the electrical generation equipment can be re-used.

It is the dawn of the democrat drama queens. They all are of a single mind. It's the end of the world as we know it. DEMOCRACY IS DEAD!IT'S THE END OF THE COUNTRY!DEMOCRACY IS ON FIRE!MINORITIES WILL LOSE THEIR RIGHT TO VOTE!Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA) Casey said, “Ali, we’re — we’ve reached a point now with these Supreme Court decisions and with the advent of all of these…voter suppression bills throughout the country, where we’re at a point of no return. We’re either going to preserve our democracy and thereby protecting voting rights or protecting voter rights to preserve...

I like the one best on here that all power is supposed to be of the people. Anyone got any more sites with more great George Mason quotes?

Canadian churches, mostly Roman Catholic and Anglican and often historic, have been burned down or vandalised in remarkable numbers in recent days, as anger has been whipped up over the discovery of unmarked graved — often wrongly described as “mass graves” by the mainstream media — at the sites of former Indian Residential Schools; institutions typically run by churches which the government used to require First Nations children to attend, in what is now seen as a misguided effort to integrate them into the cultural mainstream. The schools date back to the 1800s, and at least some of the graves...

VIDEO The occasional downpours of rain did not deter the YUUUUUGE outpouring of crowds for the President Donald Trump rally in Sarasota FL on July 3, 2021. Here are a few random scenes of that rally that will give you an idea of the incredible enthusiasm for the President.

When did it become so normal to turn American children into little activists? The New York Times has an occasional pull-out section for kids in its Sunday paper. Great, right? What could be bad about news items for children? Alas, the topics are chosen from a hard-left perspective and aren’t really news items at all but opinion pieces presented as news, often more egregiously than the paper’s adult content. One headline warns, “A new wave of bills is targeting trans kids.” Turns out the bills are meant to protect girls’ sports and ban gender-reassignment services for minors. The Times calls...

WASHINGTON, Wednesday, July 3. The following dispatch was received here at 2 o'clock this morning: BLACK RIVER, NEAR MARTINSBURGH July 2, 1861. To Col. E.D. Townsend, Assistant Adjutant-General: I left Williamsport, at 6 o'clock this morning, for this place, and drove and routed the rebels who were about 10,000 strong, and who had four guns. I now occupy their camp, with the loss, I regret to say, of three killed and ten wounded. [Signed,] R. PATTERSON, Major-General Commanding. It is stated that Gen. SCOTT was so much gratified with this news that the President was waked to receive it. The...

The Fourth of July was always a big deal in my family. Most years, we traveled back “home” to Alabama for a large family gathering at my Aunt Linda’s house. When I was very young, the highlight of the day came at the end when we would head to the Oxford Lake (which I must emphasize was actually a pond) and watch fireworks the local fire department set off over it. My Uncle Dennis was one of those firemen, and I took such pride in knowing one of my relatives was responsible for that magical display. As I aged, that...

On Christmas, we don’t say, “Happy December 25th!” We say, “Merry Christmas!” On Halloween, we don’t say, “Happy October 31st!” We say, “Happy Halloween!” So why is it that more and more Americans are prone to say, “Happy 4th of July!” as opposed to “Happy Independence Day!”? Yes, this is somewhat anecdotal. No, I do not have hard data to demonstrate that “Happy Independence Day” is going the way of the dinosaurs. However, I have noticed that in the past few years, many Americans seem less cognizant that July 4 is about the national celebration of our official break from...

Leftists want Americans to hate their own country ahead of Independence Day, J.D. Vance, author of Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis and Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate seat from Ohio, said on Friday’s edition of SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Daily with host Alex Marlow. Democrats and the broader left frame the United States as a nation born in sin in need of political salvation through leftist ideology, Vance observed. “What I really hate about what the left is doing right now is … that they’re trying to make us hate our history,” Vance remarked....

So if you are interested check...

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...
