New York City’s notoriously incompetent election officials have not finished tabulating the votes in the June 22 Democratic primary, with its novel ranked-choice-voting system. But the first choices of voters - minus some 124,000 absentees - nevertheless reveal some important things about the differences between different segments of the Democratic coalition in America’s largest city. These initial results were a clear repudiation of the term-limited left-wing Mayor Bill de Blasio. Coming in first was Brooklyn borough president and former NYPD cop Eric Adams with 31.7 percent, well ahead of top de Blasio aide Maya Wiley, with 22.2 percent. Third was...

This is the full reading of the original rough draft version of the United States Declaration of Independence. It is read directly from the transcript, without the filter of historians trying to control the narrative in one direction or the other.

1. Gun rights are winning. More and more Americans of all Races are standing up for the 2nd. 2. The Left is losing on Election Integreaty, and they know it. If we can win PA,WI, and MI, those states will follow. 3. Biden is NOT a popular President. The ABC poll of ADULTS has him at 50%. 4. Communist Race Theory has sparked a rebellion all over America. Have faith! The fight is on! We will save our country yet! The LORD YRSHUA still watches over America!

The Canadian-based company behind the since-scrapped Keystone XL crude oil pipeline is seeking $15 billion in damages from the US. TC Energy on Friday filed a notice of intent with the State Department, claiming they suffered the massive loss “as a result of the U.S. Government’s breach of its NAFTA obligations.” President Joe Biden cancelled the pipeline’s border crossing permit in January due to environmental concerns — and last month TC Energy pulled the plug on the project after Canadian officials failed to convince the president to reverse his decision. The partially-constructed pipeline would have transported crude from western Canada...

SURFSIDE, Fla. (AP) - Demolition specialists finished boring holes and began laying explosives in them Sunday as they prepared to bring down the precarious but still-standing portion of a collapsed South Florida condo building, a top Miami-Dade fire official said. The work has suspended the search-and-rescue mission, but officials said it should eventually open up new areas for rescue teams to explore. Rescuers will await the “all-clear” after the demolition and then immediately dive back into the task of trying to locate any survivors buried under the rubble, Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava said. Officials had previously said that...

The number of serious coronavirus cases in Israel has risen by almost 50 percent since last week, Health Ministry data released on Sunday showed, as the delta variant continues to spread across the country.

Within this group, 17 are in critical condition and 16 are on ventilators. Fourteen of the 35 cases defined as serious have received two doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech coronavirus vaccine.

On July 1, 2021, the Federal Trade Commission announced that the agency has finalized a new rule that will crack down on marketers who make false, unqualified claims that their products are Made in the USA. Under the rule, marketers making unqualified Made in USA claims on labels should be able to prove that their products are “all or virtually all” made in the United States. Commissioner Rohit Chopra was joined by Chair Lina Khan and Commissioner Rebecca Kelly Slaughter in a statement, which noted the rule will especially benefit small businesses that rely on the Made in USA label,...

“Through [Christ] also we have obtained our introduction by faith into this grace in which we stand” (Romans 5:2). It is God’s grace, not the believers’ faith, which enables them to stand firm in their salvation. In Old Testament times, the notion of having direct access or “introduction” to God was unthinkable, because if anyone was to look at Him they would surely die. After the tabernacle was built, only the high priest could enter the holy of holies, where God would manifest His divine presence, and only once a year for just a brief time. But Christ’s atoning sacrifice...

A parolee was sentenced to death Thursday for murdering three people and trying to kill two others in Downey while posing as a prospective buyer of a Chevrolet Camaro.

Joe Biden nominated the China-linked president of U of Pennsylvania to be US ambassador to Germany. Amy Gutmann is the Christopher H. Browne Distinguished Professor of Political Science.....president of UPenn since 2004. The NLPC filed a complaint against UPenn, alleging $22 million in "anonymous" donations for the Biden Center and $70 million from China in total. "They stonewalled all inquiries into the id's of Chinese donors who made $22 million anonymous donations," NLPC Chairman Peter Flaherty told Fox News. "We think it’s time for her to answer the question and identify the donors." The Biden Center opened March 2017, a...

The ‘Catholic’ Neo-Conservative Seamless GarmentOn Friday, June 18, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops approved a motion, by a margin of 166-58, to prepare a document widely anticipated, correctly or not, to address the necessary disposition for the reception of Holy Communion, with commentary concerning public persons in particular. The following week, USCCB President, Archbishop Jose Gomez, issued a statement explaining exactly what this entails:The doctrine committee of the bishops’ conference will now begin drafting this document and, in the months ahead, the bishops will continue our prayer and discernment through a series of regional meetings and consultations. In...

The Taliban’s rapid advance through northern Afghanistan continued on Sunday with more than a dozen districts falling to the militants, as Britain entered the final days of its two-decade deployment to Afghanistan. More than 300 members of the Afghan security forces fled across the border into Tajikistan to escape the militants, and Badakhshan and Takhar provinces are now largely under Taliban control, beyond the respective regional capitals.

MUNFORD, Tenn. — A political flag in the small town of Munford, Tennessee is stirring controversy by using foul language to denounce President Joe Biden and those who voted for him. The flag reads, “(expletive) Biden and (expletive) you for voting for him.” Mayor Dwayne Cole says he’s received several complaints about the flag since it went up at least a month ago. He says the city attorney looked into it and determined the homeowner has every right to fly the flag. “It’s vile. It’s vulgar. It’s protected speech under the Constitution,” Cole said. “If I had the authority to...

Great post from Dan Scavino. Runtime 2 minutes.

“My purpose and my mission is bigger than sports,” Berry explained. “I’m here to represent those … who died due to systemic racism. That’s the important part.” Specifically? She offered no specifics. But would she include the 650,000 Civil War dead in response to systemic racism? How about the hundreds of urban blacks annually murdered by urban blacks, murders met with silence by those otherwise decrying unspecified systemic racism? And a disproportionate number of attacks on American urban Asians and ultra-orthodox Jews are being committed by whom, white supremacists? Or a larger than normal percentage of those crimes committed by...

Eric Holder must have a tough time convincing his donors they got much “bang” for their bucks in 2020. *** The blueprint for nearly permanent Democratic control, which the Capital Research Center exposed in our report on “The Left’s Voting Machine,” was supposed to be straightforward: *** 3. Control the 2021–22 redistricting process, when all 435 U.S. House and 6,766 state legislative districts are redrawn by the party that controls the state legislatures (and in many states the governor’s veto power), a process which only happens every ten years following the census. But things didn’t exactly go according to plan....

Vaccine-promoting WMA chair Prof. Frank Ulrich Montgomery "Misinformation is one of the core reasons to vaccine hesitancy," Prof. Frank Ulrich Montgomery, chair of the council of the pro-abortion World Medical Association (WMA) told a Vatican press conference Friday.
