Dear Ellen, Is it rude not to answer the door when you’re not expecting anyone? — Home BodyDear Home Body,...As for strangers showing up at your door unannounced, you are absolutely under no obligation to answer. The only exception is if you live in a remote location and they need help. Even then, you might want to call a neighbour or 911 rather than fling open the door to potential thieves or post-apocalyptic zombies. Remember, it’s always better to risk being rude than risk being beaten, or eaten.

New York Democrat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez went to head with Colorado Republican Rep. Lauren Boebart on Twitter Saturday, using the congresswoman’s comments to condemn "good ol conservative values." Speaking from the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) Boebert, a divisive figure in the GOP spoke to a cheering crowd about her role in Congress. "We’re here to tell government we don’t want your benefits. We don’t want your welfare. Don’t come knocking on my door…you leave us the hell alone," she said to cheers. But the Republican’s comments struck a chord with another polarizing figure on the other side of the...

It’s been one of those weeks; I can’t take any more affairs of state, stories of cultural suicide or tales from the dark side. I’ve no capacity today for the arrogance and contemptuous intolerance of the woke amongst us.And since man cannot live on outrage and anger alone I give you…food! Vicarious food, so completely calorie and guilt free. Starting with a report back on last Sunday’s diversion, the vinegar free refrigerator pickles. I tasted them after 2 days as the recipe said you could and found them to be a bit meh. Then they got lost and forgotten in...

Bill Cosby's spokesman has said he hopes to recoup damages for wrongful incarceration from the state of Pennsylvania, and accused attorneys for the comedian's accusers of having 'an ax to grind against black men.' Cosby was released from prison on June 30 after serving two years behind bars, when the Pennsylvania Supreme Court vacated his 2018 conviction for sexual assault, citing violations of his due process rights. Now, his publicist Andrew Wyatt says that Cosby hopes to win 'a couple hundred grand' in compensation for the time he spend behind bars on the now-vacated conviction. 'We are looking at what...

This is a map of the 2020 Electoral College results. . .And this is a map of vaccination rates by state: . .Assuming your brain is, well, working, you will notice the remarkable overlap between the two maps; states that voted for Joe Biden have higher vaccination rates while those that went for Donald Trump have far lower ones. And it's not just that! In most cases, the stronger a state went for Biden, the higher the overall vaccination rate in that state is. That relationship is inversely proportional for Trump: The higher the former President's winning percentage is in...

WASHINGTON, Wednesday, July 10. The proposed postal convention or treaty between the United States and Mexico, respecting which negotiations between the high contracting parties in Washington have been pending for some weeks past, has fallen through for the present, at least. Postmaster-General BLAIR imposes stipulations which Mexico cannot concede. There is no immediate prospect of direct mail facilities with Mexico, and Government will probably continue to avail itself of the Penobscot River, or some other equally desirable route.

Fauci Is America’s Fallen Hero I do not believe that Fauci was ever an idol or hero to those with discernment, but the Left continue to hold onto his every word. The latest fear-mongering coming from Fauci is the dreaded Delta Variant. Brethren, let me take you back to an article I wrote from 2020. I believe that this so-called “Variant” is no variant at all. I believe that, just as in experiments with ferrets, what may be coming this fall is simply how the virus was manipulated to behave in the labs. Can you say Gain-of-Function-Research? From an interview...

I think it was the great Bible prophecy teacher Jan Markell that said, “Things are falling in place, not falling apart.” Here are events that seem to be falling in place. One, concerning the decline of America at the end of the age to allow the rise of one-world government: on July 1, 2021, the conservative pro-liberty group Brighteon wrote: “Today in America, every pillar of sustainable civilization is being ripped to shreds: The rule of law, the family, logic and reason, the First Amendment, and even the very concept of due process.” “It’s all part of an effort to...

TRUTH OR CONSEQUENCES, N.M.—Richard Branson is scheduled to travel to the edge of space Sunday in a flight aimed at spurring a new, multibillion-dollar space-tourism industry. The flight, originally scheduled for 9 a.m. ET, was delayed 90 minutes on Sunday because of weather overnight at the launch facility in New Mexico. The launch is now scheduled for 10:30 a.m. ET. At that time, a highflying Virgin Galactic Holdings Inc. airplane is expected to take off from the Spaceport America facility near Truth or Consequences. The plane, called the VMS Eve, will carry the spacecraft VSS Unity, which will include Mr....

f there is one element of the so-called Covid-19 pandemic that presages Tribulation era Bible prophecy, it is the hue and cry, the over-the-top clamor for vaccination compliance. I say so-called pandemic, because statistics have long since documented that this virus nowhere near reaches the level of previous true pandemics. Again, I address the topic of the virus with the understanding that it is serious. All such infections are serious and must be dealt with care and common sense. However, it is the common sense aspect that is missing in this so-called pandemic. It is a manufactured pandemic with a...

A hotel maid is being hailed for her role in preventing what police fear could have been a “Las Vegas style shooting” at the upcoming MLB All-Star Game in Denver, a report said Saturday. The housekeeper tipped off cops after she found more than a dozen weapons and 1,000 rounds of ammunition at a hotel near Coors Field Friday, according to ABC7 Denver. The alarming discovery was made inside a room on the eight floor of the Maven Hotel, just two blocks from the mile-high ballpark that is hosting the “Midsummer Classic” Tuesday, the station said. Cops removed 16 long...

America’s big teachers’ unions have essentially declared war on parents—and not just conservative, Christian parents: on all rational, fair-minded parents who are not completely on board with hateful, racist Critical Race Theory and other radical ideologies being pushed by the far-left unions. And that includes many minority parents. In a statement last week, the National Education Association declared CRT “reasonable and appropriate” and vowed to “fight back against anti-CRT rhetoric.” Well, okey-doke. If it’s a fight they want, I say we give it to them. Meanwhile, the American Federation of Teachers has for months been at the forefront of efforts...

There's no rational decision flowchart that lands you here. No one, least of all Daniel Warner, thinks putting a 27-liter tank engine in a Ford Crown Victoria makes a lick of sense. Petty details like logic and reason won't stop him, though. "It's not an intelligent choice of engine if you want to have 2500 hp and race. This is more just, I wanted to do this out of pure passion," Werner told Road & Track in June 2020. Back then it was just a goal. The car was far from operational. A year later, it's still got some distance...

WASHINGTON (AP) - “A disservice to the country.” “Inaccurate disinformation.” “Literally killing people.” For months, the Biden White House refrained from criticizing Republican officials who played down the importance of coronavirus vaccinations or sought to make political hay of the federal government’s all-out effort to drive shots into arms. Not any longer. With the COVID-19 vaccination rate plateauing across the country, the White House is returning fire at those they see as spreading harmful misinformation or fear about the shots. When South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster tried this week to block door-to-door efforts to drive up the vaccination rate in...
