Two weeks ago, the long-awaited report by the Pentagon on 144 instances of UFOs, or as they say Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon, concludes that 143 of the cases looked at defied any sort of earthly explanation. They could not be connected to any military or technology program to any government of any nation on the face of the Earth. In short, the Pentagon has just admitted that UFOs existing outside of human technology do in fact exist. And boy, do they ever. Objects have been flying over the International Space Station, or ISS, for many years now, and many times that...

Leftist The New York Times economist Paul Krugman can’t stop selling himself as the public relations foghorn for President Joe Biden’s economy. Krugman headlined his latest op-ed “It’s Morning in Joe Biden’s America” in a nonsensical twist of the late former President Ronald Reagan’s 1984 campaign ad. Krugman haphazardly celebrated the 850,000 jobs increase in June and attacked former President Donald Trump: “Oh, and so much for Donald Trump’s warnings that there would be a ‘Biden depression’ if he weren’t re-elected.” It’s too bad for Krugman that Politico just tweeted that “U.S. economic data does not look quite as robust...

As Afghanistan descends into tribal warfare following America’s hasty departure, China plans to “swoop in” and “fill the vacuum.” “Beijing just can’t wait for the U.S. to get out of the way,” Syed Fazl-e-Haider of the Daily Beast reports. Beijing, which runs a multi-racial empire, does not appear especially concerned that that land-locked, mountainous Afghanistan is often called the “graveyard of empires.” “Compared with other powers, China has the ability to get involved in Afghan affairs without becoming entangled in it,” writes Zhang Jiadong of Fudan University in the Communist Party’s Global Times. The title of Zhang’s July 6 piece...

Why even bring up the topic of amillennialism? I do so because a great many pastors today subscribe to some form of this errant teaching that denies the prophesied restoration of a kingdom for Israel as well as the biblical promise of Jesus' millennial reign before the eternal state. Amillennialism dominated the church during the dark ages and persisted long after the Reformation. The reason for this rests with three factors that fueled this teaching for well over a thousand years and remain in place today, at least to some degree. It's vital to our faith that we understand the...

The deadly heat wave that roasted the Pacific Northwest and western Canada was virtually impossible without human-caused climate change that added a few extra degrees to the record-smashing temperatures, a new quick scientific analysis found. An international team of 27 scientists calculated that climate change increased chances of the extreme heat occurring by at least 150 times, but likely much more. The study, not yet peer-reviewed, said that before the industrial era, the region’s late June triple-digit heat was the type that would not have happened in human civilization. And even in today’s warming world, it said, the heat was...

@RandPaul When the Senate returns to session, I will be introducing an immediate repeal of the mask mandate on planes. Enough! Time to stop this farce and let people travel in peace!

A Thursday Rasmussen poll indicates a majority of likely voters disapprove of President Joe Biden’s job performance. The poll reveals only 49 percent of “Likely U.S. Voters approve of President Biden’s job performance,” while 50 percent disapprove. The respondents also “include 28% who Strongly Approve of the job Biden is doing and 40% who Strongly Disapprove.” Biden’s drop in approval rating coincides with the White House pushing “disinformation,” blaming Republicans for the anti-police movement, while Democrat-ruled cites have defunded police. On Thursday, White House spokesman Andrew Bates told NBC News, “The president, with the backing of leading law enforcement groups,...

Wells Fargo is ending a popular consumer lending product, angering some of its customers, CNBC has learned. The bank is shutting down all existing personal lines of credit in coming weeks and no longer offers the product, according to customer letters reviewed by CNBC. The revolving credit lines, which typically let users borrow $3,000 to $100,000, were pitched as a way to consolidate higher-interest credit-card debt, pay for home renovations or avoid overdraft fees on linked checking accounts. “Wells Fargo recently reviewed its product offerings and decided to discontinue offering new Personal and Portfolio line of credit accounts and close...

In a surprise announcement today, Representative Rashida Tlaib (R-MI) has announced she is switching from the Democratic Party to the Republican Party because it's more in line with her core value of defunding the police. Her statement reads in part: "After recent revelations it's actually the Republicans calling for the defunding of police, I have decided, after much deliberation, to switch parties. The Republicans fall more in line with my core values of defunding the police, DHS,CPB and ICE." "The icing on the cake was when Jen Psaki confirmed at her press briefing it was in fact Republicans at the...

The uncle of the teenager who captured the death of George Floyd has been killed following a high-speed chase that resulted in a car accident. Darnella Frazier wrote on Facebook on Tuesday: "I honestly can't believe I'm making this post right now." "I'm so hurt...nothing feels real."

When the coronavirus pandemic first emerged in early 2020, governments quickly put out information on what symptoms to look out for, little knowing then that much of the transmission was asymptomatic. The public was told to look out for a high temperature and a new continuous cough, with a loss of taste or smell, fatigue and a sore throat also named as possible symptoms (some added at different points of the pandemic). Fast forward to the present day and more symptoms are being reported and recognized. The variation in symptoms has happened over time as several variants of the virus...

New weekly applications for jobless benefits rose unexpectedly last week, according to data released Thursday by the Labor Department. In the week ending July 3, the seasonally adjusted number of initial claims for unemployment insurance totaled 373,000, rising 2,000 above the previous week’s revised total of 371,000.

Twenty-six states have pulled out of the program, which expires in September.

Six Target stores in San Francisco are adjusting their times, opening hours later and closing hours earlier to try to curtail soaring theft.They join Walgreens, which has closed 17 stores over five years in direct response to criminal activity.

What if I told you The Lancet, Nature, and other so-called “scientific” journals were the most powerful tools used by the powers-that-be to propagate a multitude of Covid-19 lies and send the entire planet towards economic collapse? What if I also told you much of what these journals have published over the last year have killed countless people. You’d probably think I was giving them too much credit. After all, who reads scientific journals?But when we look at the effects of their various lies, we see that their influence on our lives was far greater than most realize even if...
