Ronald Reagan nailed it long ago when he aptly said that the most terrifying words in the English language are “I’m from the government and I’m here to help.” Here in 2021, an announcement by Joe Biden brings that statement to chilling new heights of fear and dread. Starting tomorrow, the Biden administration will be sending out ‘government officials’ to the homes of unvaccinated Americans to pressure them into receiving the Mark…ummm, wait, I mean receiving the COVID-19 vaccine jab. This is where we are people, just as we told you from the beginning it was going to go. Now...

Three people died and four others were injured Tuesday when an explosion tore through an oil pump structure and pipeline transporting crude oil from Cheshmeh Khosh to Ahvaz, according to a report by the official Iranian SHANA news agency of Iran’s Oil Ministry. The Central Iranian Oil Company said a 20-inch pipeline exploded while transporting oil to Ahvaz. The explosion occurred during the start of an overhaul of the pipeline, the news agency said. “As a result, three employees of the company were killed and four were injured,” the company said, adding that the fire “was contained and secured,” and...

Sen. John Cornyn, a Texas Republican, wants the Senate to permit people brought to the U.S. as children to stay in this country permanently. Cornyn joined Sen. Thom Tillis, R-North Carolina, in a letter this week asking Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Dick Durbin, D-Illinois, to consider a bill that would give permanent legal status to temporary residents allowed to stay in the U.S. under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals policy. -snip- Cornyn’s proposal of “permanent legal status” is vague and could refer to a number of things from green cards to full-blown citizenship. Cornyn’s office did not clarify what...

This article is taken from the Pre-Tribulation Prophecies Prophetic Documentary. (Watch the trailer below this article). Presently, many people have become disenchanted with the fake news that influences the secular world view. They are also becoming genuinely concerned by the unchecked Internet censorship that is beginning to shape the global narrative and frankly, they don't know which mainstream media outlets or social networks to trust anymore. If you identify with these concerns, then you will be pleased to know that you do not need to rely upon the secular world view, but can learn and understand world events from a...

Washington DC’s highest court suspended former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani’s law license on Wednesday. The decision was made based on New York state’s decision to suspend his law license last month. New York state claimed Rudy’s statements about the 2020 election deemed it necessary to suspend his license. The left and the fake news media to this day routinely denies President Trump won the 2016 election. That’s OK. But you are not allowed to criticize basement Joe’s impossible and unlikely “win” in 2020.

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said Wednesday that the Biden administration will not mandate vaccine passports, but it will encourage private businesses to use them as they see fit.

In a speech during the current Senate recess to Kentuckians in LaGrange, Kentucky, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) criticized Dr. Anthony Fauci's response to the COVID-19 pandemic as National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director. Video...

Summer is on the horizon, but it is not just the students who are excited at the thought of spending months away from school. Teachers from around the world have taken to anonymous secret-sharing app Whisper to reveal how they spend their summer holidays - and the revelations range from the shocking to the depressing. One teacher from the US revealed she spends her vacation working as a dominatrix and earns 'way more' than she does from her day job. Another admitted he takes advantage of the lack of routine and stays up all night 'getting high'. A third said...

These days, Vance’s persona is more right-wing provocateur than establishment darling. But it’s his stance toward Trump that seems destined to dominate his campaign in a primary that could be a bellwether for the post-Trump GOP. As his rivals strain to outdo one another with displays of fealty to the former President, Vance’s past opposition has been cited as proof of an all-too-convenient conversion. Vance admits it took him time to come around, but points to his book and commentary as evidence he understood Trump’s appeal before most. “I sort of got Trump’s issues from the beginning,” Vance says. “I...

Since the advent of AIDS, major advancements in treating HIV infection has turned what used to be a death sentence into a manageable chronic condition. But new research warns that many people living with HIV/AIDS still face a dramatically higher risk for suicide. The finding came from a review of 40 studies that involved a total of roughly 185,000 adults with HIV or AIDS (PLWHA -- People Living With HIV/AIDS) all over the world. In the end, the study team concluded that suicide risk is 100 times higher among such patients, compared with the population at large.

Moïse’s death and the lack of a functioning government also serves as a clear cut signal that the U.S. must play a greater role in Haiti’s future, starting right now. It’s clear that Haiti will need both immediate and longer-term guidance to move forward in a democratic way. This is a country that started out with weak institutions, and they’re now virtually non-existent. The U.S., as Haiti’s biggest donor, has no choice but to take the lead — with international partners and, importantly, Haiti’s own civil society — to stabilize Haiti. An international coalition could do immense good very quickly...

The U.S. Capitol Police will open a field office in Tampa and another in San Francisco. Six months after supporters of former President Donald Trump stormed the U.S. Capitol, the U.S. Capitol Police will open a field office in Tampa to investigate threats to members of Congress. In a news release Tuesday titled, “After the Attack: The Future of the U.S. Capitol Police,” the agency detailed changes since Jan. 6, including boosting recruiting, training and equipment for officers. The agency is also in the process of opening its first field offices. “The new USCP field offices will be in the...

Dong Jingwei’s supposed disappearance coaxes China’s troubled history littered with past cases of state secrets being spilled, espionage and defection into view, says Professor Bo Zhiyue.The Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) centennial anniversary celebrations may have made headlines last week. But amid the celebratory notes of how the country has arrived and how much the party has been pivotal to that narrative, observers reading the tea leaves to discern what big challenges lie ahead for the country may do well to look at certain, less well covered developments in the lead-up. For while Chinese President and CCP General Secretary Xi Jinping’s...

Albert Mohler: Professor Morson, you have made the argument that the knowledge of Russian literature is really incredibly important for even modern Americans in 2018. Why is that so, and why is it particularly so related to Russian literature? Gary Morson: Well, there are a number of reasons for this. Partly, they grow out of the facts of Russian history. Russian history tends to the extremes, and in the 20th century, that produced an entirely new form of society, to which we gave the name Totalitarian. That was the product of the thought and actions of a particular group of...

Scoundrel, liar, cheat and toady, George MacDonald Fraser’s Flashman is a creation of genius and a bracing antidote to our timid agehe brothers Hitchens famously did not agree on very much, but one matter that brought them into rare accord was the genius of the author George MacDonald Fraser and his character Flashman. Christopher wrote in 2008 that “I can remember the mingled shock and glee with which my radical friend Andrew Cockburn and I discovered … that we had both recently fallen for the same author and character. I have met that look, of the confirmed addict and fellow-sufferer,...

Throughout much of 2021, conservatives, in both classrooms and in the halls of state legislatures, have been fighting back against the pervasive influence of critical race theory in public schools. Laws banning the instruction of CRT tenets in public schools have passed in more than 20 states, and there is reason t0 hope that the tide is beginning to turn in the fight for the country’s history and principles. Unfortunately, the Zinn Education Project refuses to accept defeat, and desires to teach American children that this country was founded upon the “dispossession of Native Americans, slavery, structural racism and oppression,”...

Today we'll talk about how to write the classic New York Times column, using Thomas Edsall's recent "Trumpism Without Borders" as our example. It must have taken him about 40 minutes to write it. Edsall blames the populist movements sweeping the globe on the same ills that "led to a right-wing takeover of the federal government by Donald Trump." To wit: "anti-immigrant fervor, political tribalism, racism, ethnic tension, authoritarianism and inequality." Fascism awaits us unless we keep importing low-skilled immigrants and shipping jobs abroad! For someone worried about the erosion of "democratic norms," maybe Edsall shouldn't be referring to the...

Can people put their hand on another person's mouth and censor them? Can corporations like Twitter, FB, etc, operate like platforms and publishers simultaneously? Can they get the perks of a publisher (saying no to essentially a letter to the editor written for all to see, but in this case on Twitter, FB, etc, as newspapers can do this) while claiming they are a platform? If you have fallible humans that are biased against Trump, how can they be trusted to be "fact checkers"? Where can we find 100% impartial people? If pro-Biden people say a Tweet from Trump is...

Following explosive reports from Revolver News pertaining to the US government’s apparent infiltration of patriot groups ahead of the events at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, National File has obtained exclusive footage and photos of the assault on the doors of the Capitol building leading to the inaugural stage, depicting individuals who were potentially working with or for the FBI, local police, or federal law enforcement observing, instigating, and participating in the violence. National File attempted to research the identities of these individuals, or evidence that they are currently being pursued by the FBI for their actions on January...
