Almost without exception, the architects of the Sexual Revolution have proven to be reckless hedonists and, in many cases, sex criminals who took their theories of pelvic liberation to horrifying but logical conclusions. It is long past time that we re-examined the history of our cultural transformation in light of these facts. Alfred Kinsey was a voracious sado-masochistic bisexual who shot illegal porn movies in his attic. Marriage-hopping Margaret Mead also had an affair with a female colleague. Hugh Hefner was a notorious pervert with an alleged fascination with bestiality. And it has been long known that Michel Foucault, the...

The Texas legislature began an overtime special session this week to address a slate of priority issues outlined by Republican Gov. Greg Abbott, including a renewed effort to address "election integrity." On Saturday, both chambers will hold overlapping hearings with testimony regarding new bills from the House and Senate that seek to overhaul the state's voting and election practices. During a press conference Thursday, Texas state Rep. Armando Walle said "every option is on the table" for Democrats to mobilize against the GOP-backed special session agenda, which includes a host of items that echo emerging national culture wars. Walle added...

Sums it all up. -------------- WOW: Tucker Carlson Just Did A Bombshell Segment On Election Fraud This is a must-watch. https://twitter.com/ColumbiaBugle/status/1413675917923262464 “Here are the facts – actual, confirmed facts – that shape their perspective: 1) The FBI/etc spied on the 2016 Trump campaign using evidence manufactured by the Clinton campaign. We now know that all involved knew it was fake from Day 1 (see: Brennan’s July 2016 memo, etc). These are Tea Party people. The types who give their kids a pocket Constitution for their birthday and have Founding Fathers memes in...

For the past several months the office of Georgia Secretary of State (SOS) Brad Raffensperger has been quietly investigating whistle blowers who believe they detected potential fraud in the November 2020 election. That’s right. The Raffensperger’s Inspector General office has an active investigation into the key witnesses who testified before the Georgia General Assembly and signed affidavits for the exhibits of the Fulton County ballot inspection lawsuit! These witnesses swore they detected potentially counterfeit ballots in the Fulton County hand count audit that occurred on November 14th and 15th. They also observed a variety of other anomalies.The November 2020 election...

The White House has defended its role in helping to broker a deal that will shroud art deals by President Joe Biden's son in secrecy. Paintings by Hunter Biden are expected to fetch up to $500,000 (£360,000) apiece at auction this autumn. Any buyers will be kept anonymous to stop them seeking political influence with the Bidens, the White House says. But a former White House ethics chief said the arrangement was "very disappointing". The younger Biden's business dealings in Ukraine, China and elsewhere have often been held up by Republican critics as a conflict of interest for his father,...

Bronze statutes of two Confederate generals are being taken from public property in Charlottesville, Virginia, on Saturday, almost four years after they were a flashpoint for a violent "Unite the Right" rally that left one person dead. Heavy machinery lifted a statue of Robert E. Lee in Market Street Park from its stone base around 8 a.m. A crowd that gathered to watch clapped and cheered.

I had a similar experience this week with Delta, trying to book a flight while applying for a credit from a canceled trip last year. First, my wife tried to book the flight, but received an error message at the last step, telling her to call customer service. Then I tried it on the website, some parts of which were completely non-functional, including a page for entering credits which refused to apply them unless I also inputted a gift card (I had no such card.) When I attempted to call the customer service number Wednesday afternoon, I was told that...

My friend Mark, 36, is a “catch” by many New York City standards. He’s good-looking, highly educated, and a talented photographer. He’s also progressive and participates in protests and gives to left-leaning causes. And Mark is looking for love. He wants to get married and have kids. In a liberal city like New York, swimming with single women wishing they weren’t, one could assume Mark wouldn’t have a problem finding a mate. And while he dates and recently had a couple of short-lived relationships, Mark remains single. He’s trying to understand why. “I’m really open-minded and cool about gender stuff...

Before her dreams of competing at the Tokyo Olympics went up in smoke last week, Sha’Carri Richardson stood on the precipice of a life-changing payday. America’s fastest woman had begun to draw attention from deep-pocketed corporate sponsors intrigued by her blend of speed, style and showmanship. At 21, Richardson blew away the competition in the women’s 100 meters at U.S. Olympic Trials, solidifying herself as a contender to win gold in her sport’s glamour race. She also ran with lash extensions, flowing fire-orange hair and impossibly long acrylic fingernails, evoking memories of America’s most celebrated sprinter from a bygone era,...

Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem Psalm 119Psalm 119[a]ב Beth 9 How can a young person stay on the path of purity?

What happens in Vegas doesn’t stay in Vegas — when it allegedly takes place in a Sin City FBI office. An FBI agent claims in a new lawsuit that she was subjected to repeated sexual harassment at the Bureau’s Las Vegas office, including by a supervisor who once allegedly texted her a photo of a rainbow-colored sex toy. In the suit filed last week against US Attorney General Merrick Garland as head of the agency, FBI Supervisory Special Agent Karen Veltri alleges she was sexually harassed by two supervisors — then retaliated against for reporting the abuse to several oversight...

While driving around yesterday I heard the presumed Presidential Whiz-kid on the radio saying how important competition is. His carefully prepared remarks were made prior to signing an executive order targeting “anticompetitive” practices in tech, health care and other parts of the economy. Emphasis on other parts of the economy whereas that is anything we say it it.The sweeping order includes 72 actions and recommendations that Biden said would lower prices for families, increase wages for workers and promote innovation and faster economic growth.Ha! That’s a good one – let’s give agencies and bureaucrats even more power to create regulations...

A man whose ingenious pop-up swimming pool kept the homeless cool during the recent heat wave was fatally stabbed in the same spot just one day later, according to Portland police. Officers identified Tyson L. Morlock as the man who was found stabbed in the inner eastside Hosford-Abernethy neighborhood at Division Street and Southeast Martin Luther King Junior Boulevard around 3:37 a.m. on Thursday, July 1. Despite life-saving efforts from paramedics, he died shortly thereafter in a nearby hospital, according to authorities. Morlock, 27, had been interviewed the previous day, June 30, by a reporter on assignment for the Reuters...

President Joe Biden has told President Vladimir Putin the US will take "any necessary action" to stop cyber-attacks from Russia, the White House says. A reporter asked Mr Biden after the hour-long phone call if Russia would face consequences, and he said: "Yes."

Knock knock. “Who’s there?” “Tony and Joe.” “Tony and Joe who?” “We’re with the government and we’re here to help.” “Get off my property! My father said those were the nine most terrifying words in the English language.” “Come on, man! Open your damn front door.” “OK. But first take off your masks so I can see who you are.” “Mr. Reagan, we’re here to tell you where you can get your free COVID-19 vaccination.” “No thanks, Joe. I know where to get a shot – at every corner drugstore and grocery. Even Dodger Stadium…” “But our records show you...

The Missouri legislature has passed HB 85, “Second Amendment Preservation Act”. The bill passed the Senate 22 – 10 and the House 107 – 43.
