With the continuing disasters of Democrat-run cities, it would be easy to become numb to the chaos and violence rolling through some of America’s most historic metropolises. But that is not the answer; silence and apathy are never the answer. Now is the time, in fact, to look directly at those who facilitate these arenas of death.

Now, galloping through her urban war zone, one mayor of a Hell Town, USA is blaming racism, sexism, the courts,...

Rashad Gober, a gay BLM supporter, is seemingly blaming his arrest and charge of animal cruelty for torturing three different cats on police racism. Cambridge Police announced the arrest of Gober, 31, at his home on Thursday, and charged him with four counts of animal cruelty, dating from March to May of this year.

Lockdowns may have run their course, the COVID-19 virus may have run its course, but the COVID-19 vaccine?

As you read this, regions in every part...
