An astroturf group formed in 2017 to push for a so-called "universal background check" rules for gun sales has announced that it is ceasing operations as of today. For those looking to shift blame, the coronavirus pandemic has become a popular go-to, and it is no different for the misleadingly-named "Ohioans for Gun Safety" (the so-called "gun safety" group doesn't even contain one single mention of safe gun handling on their website). Organizers told reporters that the current climate Ohio made it just "too difficult." "Prior to the pandemic we were on-track to submit our citizen-initiated statute for common...

Just look at the issues the Democrats are pushing: defunding the police, which hurts mostly poor and working-class neighborhoods; critical race theory, which mostly interests woke white activists (and rich-and-guilty Dem donors) but which actually sends a message of inferiority to minority youths; gender ideology, which plays less well among the more traditional and more religious working-class minorities; environmental policies that produce higher gas prices and lower employment, while pushing food prices up; open borders that drive down wages for downscale workers; and so on. Donors and activists love this stuff. They live in neighborhoods that are mostly insulated from...

The San Francisco Gay Men's Choir is facing a wave of backlash after offering up what it described as ironic humor about fears surrounding children and the "gay agenda."The backlash came after the choir posted a video in which they sang about indoctrinating children into being more concerned about "fairness" and "justice.""You think that we’ll corrupt your kids, if our agenda goes unchecked," one of the members sings. "Funny, just this once, you’re correct."

How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.( I Corinthians 14:26)The Church is an Assembly. That is what the word ‘Ecclesia’ actually means,’the ones who are called out to an Assembly’. Thus the Church meets together. The Purpose of those meetings is edification. We meet in order to be built up, and to participate in the building up of our brothers and sisters. Everything in this world is being employed to break down...

China stands ready to capitalize on Joe Biden's decision to end military operations in Afghanistan. A WION TV host has warned that the Taliban is standing by to "rollout out the red carpet" to Beijing with the last US troops set to leave the region by August 31... WION presenter Palki Sharma said the Taliban is on the lookout for allies "those who do not believe in democracy or basic freedoms of power-sharing."... Quoting the Taliban spokesperson she continued: "We have been to China many times and we good relations with them. "China is a friendly country that we welcome...

If you don’t like the explosion of violent crime, you’re a racist. That’s the message sent by a top aide to the San Francisco district attorney to a self-described “Democrat” who had said on Twitter that the jump in crime had made people afraid for their lives and dubious about the city’s future. The Democrat tweeted that “every single one of my friends right now is considering leaving” San Francisco because of the big increase in crime, adding: “My friends are scared for their children, and their husbands are scared for their wives.” Kate Chatfield, a senior director for San...

Ok, So we all are aware that the media is constantly barraging us with videos of heart broken latin American illegal aliens, who are crying their eyes out about being deported back to Mexico, or whatever latin country of origin they are citizens of, before invading the US by Crossing the border illegally, and living and working in the US, illegally. Boo hoo, they are all so sad. YouTube will ban, sensor, and deplatform anyone who posts videos depicting illegal immigration and illegal aliens in negative light...it's just a fact, try posting a video against illegal alien immigration, and watch...

More frequent testing may be needed for students, teachers, staff, and adult volunteers who are not fully vaccinated and engaged in school athletics and other extracurricular activities. Testing at least once per week is recommended for high-risk sports and extracurricular activities (those that cannot be done outdoors or with masks) at all community transmission levels. In areas of substantial-to-high community transmission levels, testing twice per week is recommended for participation in these activities. Additionally, if the school is not tracking COVID-19 vaccination status of participants and support teacher and staff screening testing should be encouraged.Fully vaccinated students, teachers, and staff...

Wearing antlers ain’t great but is completely reasonable compared to asserting that January 6th was worse than 9/11. Matthew Dowd, a political consultant, pundit and the kind of guy who loves to be on panels jumped on Joy Reid’s stupidfest to kvetch about the day. “And to me, though there was less loss of life on January 6th, January 6th was worse than 9/11 because it's continued to rip our country apart and give permission for people to pursue autocratic means.” Steve Schmidt wormed his way onto MSNBC and announced, “The 1/6 attack for the future of the country is...

Rochelle Walensky, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), said the thought of unvaccinated individuals contracting and dying of the Chinese coronavirus keeps her “awake at night,” urging people to “get vaccinated.” “What keeps me awake at night? Knowing preliminary data from some U.S. states suggests 99.5% of #COVID19 deaths were in unvaccinated ppl. Unnecessary death, unneeded suffering from being unvaccinated,” she said, contending those deaths are “preventable.

For the Left, public education is religious education. This becomes blatantly apparent after a recent viral song from a gay men's choir proclaimed that they're "coming for your children."

As Townhall has been covering, the Biden administration this week announced they would literally be going "door-to-door" to encourage Americans to get vaccinated. Such comments came from President Joe Biden himself, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki and HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra. The negative reaction was strong and swift, and includes members of Congress. On Friday, Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) and 31 other Republican colleagues sent a letter to Biden demanding answers. The letter mentions privacy concerns and communicates the importance of letting Americans make their own medical choices. "Your administration's decision to go door-to-door to coerce individuals to receive...

President Joe Biden said outright Friday that he is “a proud capitalist” despite praising big government and pushing socialists polices that are anti-free market. Merriam-Webster’s dictionary defines socialism as “a stage of society in Marxist theory transitional between capitalism and communism and distinguished by unequal distribution of goods and pay according to work done.”

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez took a dig at opponents of her Green New Deal climate proposal — sharing video of the severe flooding that left New Yorkers wading through waist-high water at subway stations across the city — claiming her policy would have avoided the disaster, but instead New Yorkers have to “swim to work.” “The Green New Deal, which is a blueprint to create millions of good jobs rebuilding infrastructure to stem climate change & protect vulnerable communities, is unrealistic,” Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) tweeted in quotations, writing the post as a critic of her plan. “Instead we will do the adult...

Two of the three men found shot to death on a Cobb County golf course last weekend had been bound and gagged with tape before being placed in the bed of a pickup truck, according to warrants made public Friday morning. Bryan Rhoden, 23, was arrested Thursday after being identified as the “lone shooter” in the bizarre triple homicide at an affluent Kennesaw-area country club over the Fourth of July weekend.

The federal health agency released updated guidance Friday, recognizing in-person learning for children as extremely beneficial and listing their return to the classrooms as a “priority.” This is “regardless of whether all of the prevention strategies can be implemented at the school.” Nonetheless, it is still advancing the notion that unvaccinated children should continue to wear masks in school. Currently, children under the age of 12 are not cleared to receive a vaccine. As such, the CDC recommends “layered prevention strategies” to “protect” the unvaccinated. “COVID-19 prevention strategies remain critical to protect people, including students, teachers, and staff, who are...

Could the holy grail of turning salt water to drinkable water finally be upon us? A new report from Interesting Engineering seems to suggest that could be the case – detailing a new nanofiber membrane, developed by Yunchul Woo and his team at the Korea Institute of Civil Engineering and Building Technology, that appears to be “stable in the long term” for desalinization. And it can be done “in minutes”, the report says. Membranes had been used in the past, but there is often a challenge in keeping them dry for long periods of time. When they become wet, their...
