Authorities arrested Rod Webber, an artist and documentary filmmaker, for vandalizing a New York City gallery exhibiting Hunter Biden’s artwork Friday. Webber filmed himself silently entering the George Burges Gallery where he began to spray paint the words “Daddi Warcrimes” on the gallery’s wall. A witness of the incident immediately detained Webber from behind, holding him with both arms, calling it a “citizen’s arrest.” The art gallery signed a deal with Hunter in December 2020 and currently exhibits his work, The New York Post reported. The gallery described Hunter as a “lifelong artist that has devoted his artistic career to...

We have been discussing the movement in journalism to discard out-dated notions of objectivity and define journalism as a form of advocacy. Now, Lauren Wolfe, the recently fired freelance editor for the New York Times, has not only gone public to defend her pro-Biden tweet but published a piece titled “I’m a Biased Journalist and I’m Okay With That.” It is a full-throated endorsement of the new journalistic model of open bias and advocacy. Indeed, Wolfe may have only been undone by her expressly declaring bias as opposed to reflecting bias in her writings. Wolfe was fired by the Times...

The director of Basic Instinct is speaking out after Sharon Stone, who played Catherine Tramell in the 1992 thriller, said she was tricked into taking her underwear off for the infamous crossed-legs scene. In her recently published memoir The Beauty of Living Twice, Stone, 63, alleged that a member of the movie's production told her to take her underwear off during the scene under the pretense that her private area wouldn't be visible on film. Speaking with Variety in an interview published Wednesday, director Paul Verhoeven said his "memory is radically different" from that of the actress. "That does not...

CARLSBAD, CA—After confiscating a LEGO Capitol Building from one of the conspirators of the worst day in our nation's history, January 6, FBI agents uncovered an even more sinister plot, saying the LEGO conspiracy is far worse than they had feared. They've traced the conspiracy all the way to the top, raiding a massive terrorist compound in Carlsbad, California. "This place is terrifying," murmured an FBI agent scoping out the place, which had big letters over the entrance saying "LEGOLAND." According to investigators, they found models of nearly every government building in D.C. throughout the park, models of a giant...

The United States Air Force Academy, my alma mater, has suffered from an obvious leadership problem for some time. During my 30th reunion several years ago, my classmates and I noticed a marked change at our beloved institution – the focus on training warriors to defend the nation was gone. In its place was a focus on buildings, big athletics, and ‘diversity’ (we came to find out later except diversity in political ideas). I confronted then Superintendent Lt Gen Michelle Johnson at the reunion about the lack of discipline, the lack of focus on a warrior culture, even the lack...

“What we have seen and heard we proclaim to you also, that you also may have fellowship with us; and indeed our fellowship is with the Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ” (1 John 1:3). Enjoying communion with both God and Jesus Christ is solid proof that one’s salvation is real. When we hold baptisms in the church I pastor, invariably every person who gives their testimony will describe the overwhelming sense of forgiveness they now feel and the new purpose they have for their lives. They are expressing a wonderful result of salvation in Christ, of which Jesus...

Being second daughter has its perks. President Kamala Harris’ stepdaughter Ella Emhoff made her debut on the French high-fashion scene in Paris on Wednesday. Emhoff walked the runway for the fashion company Balenciaga in its first haute couture show since 1967. “Balenciaga couture, thank you/congrats to @demnagvasalia and the whole Balenciaga team truly amazing,” the 22-year-old model wrote on Instagram. Emhoff added several photos of her getup for the runway walk featuring the idiosyncratic and gender-fluid designs of the fashion house.

Transport authorities in Austria and Germany have said they are phasing out the term ‘Schwarzfahren’ — which literally translates to ‘riding black’ — to describe fare dodging, over racism concerns. Vienna transit company Wiener Linien said on Friday it had already begun phasing out the term ‘Schwarzfahren’ in order to avoid “misunderstandings”. ÖBB, the company’s Austrian counterpart, said it would do the same. In recent years, the term has become increasingly debated in Austria and Germany, with some saying it has a racist connotation. Instead of using the term ‘riding black’, Austrian officials will use the literal ‘Fahrgästen ohne gültiges...

Without questions the news item that federal investigators confiscated a U.S.Capitol Lego set from one of the January 6 protestors is peak nonsense. Our “betters” have abandoned logos for Legos, but that’s par for the course from a class of people who ingest our media emetics and suffer from full-blown logorrhea.

Steve Schmidt, former advisor to Sen. John McCain and cofounder of the Lincoln Project, predicted that the January 6 Capitol insurrection is “likely to kill a lot more Americans than were killed in the 9/11 attacks.” “The fact is that as bad as the 9/11 terrorist attacks were they also had the salutary effect of uniting the country,” Schmidt contended. “The 1/6 insurrection shook the very foundations of our democracy and provoked a profound disunity that continues taking a bloody toll on America and the world.” Schmidt went on to blame the 1/6 event for “the despair that has induced...

With the Virginia gubernatorial race heating up and gaining national attention, former President Donald Trump is weighing in, and it's a doozy.

The ballots cast in Arizona’s largest county in the 2020 election will be counted for a third time on orders from the state’s Senate. Nearly 2.1 million ballots submitted in Maricopa County for the presidential contest were tabulated, as normal, by election officials. They were recounted by hand by audit teams hired by the Arizona Senate in a process that was completed late last month. Now the Senate will do its own recount that will provide a number to compare to those from the county and from the auditors. “Maricopa County says there’s 2,089,563 ballots. We did the hand count,...

DALLAS - Outgoing Texas GOP chair and former congressman Allen West insists that former President Trump’s endorsement of Gov. Greg Abbott "doesn’t hurt" his 2022 primary challenge against the two-term Republican governor. "It has no relevance to me as I prepare to run for governor of Texas," West told Fox News ahead of his speech this weekend at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Dallas, Texas. Abbott is facing primary challenges from the right from West, former state Sen. Don Huffines, and political commentator Chad Prather. Huffines addresses the crowd of conservative activists and leaders at CPAC on Saturday,...

Democrats outright expect journalists to "be on their side" and feel "horrified" when they're pressed by journalists, a White House reporter says. A "prominent White House reporter" made the remark while speaking anonymously to journalist Julia Ioffe for an article on the dramatic shift in coverage of the Trump and Biden administrations, notably the expectation from the latter of positive framing. "Democrats in general have a much thinner skin," the reporter said. "This is not unique to Trump but Republicans never expect a fair shake, so if you cover them fairly, you can have a good working relationship with them....

Video, another Waters type exposing what us sane people are up against.

The USA has been a beacon of freedom, the rule of law, the industrial giant, and the supreme military power for good over the last hundred years plus. Tens of millions of Americans who voted for Joe Biden have absolutely no idea that America’s presidential elections are also critical to billions of people worldwide. The events that transpired and were exposed during Donald Trump’s presidency have shattered many of the positive opinions held by most of the world about Americans, not because of Trump, but because of his opponents. Not even during the Civil War or the Black movements in...

Montana wildlife officials shot and killed a grizzly bear early Friday morning that was believed to have dragged a woman from her tent in Montana earlier this week and killed her. The bear was killed less than two miles from Ovando, a Montana town of fewer than 100 people and the place the woman was killed Tuesday morning. “Last night, the Powell County Sheriff’s Office took a report from a resident who came home and found her door ripped off and large claw marks were present,” the sheriff’s office said on Facebook Friday. “A short time later a male grizzly...

Fourteenth Week in Ordinary Time Matthew 10:24-33 Friends, Jesus instructs his disciples in today’s Gospel, “Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul; rather, be afraid of the one who can destroy both body and soul in Gehenna.” What is the greatest fear we have? Undoubtedly, the fear of losing our own lives; we fear the death of the body. But Jesus is telling us not to worry about those paper tigers that can only affect the body and its goods. When I am in love with God, when I am “fearing” him...
