Our timing is bad or we are just plain sheeple. Biden could be throwing gas on Cuba's fire. Instead he chooses to let this 'crisis' go to waste. California-2 days left to file for the Governorship and Larry Elder is the latest-no money + no warts(so far). 80k signature gatherers pound the pavements for the recall-then what? Wait for a billionaire like Peter Thiel to save us the followup work? 60 days to go and our followup is limp. Freepers are part of the problem-naysayers(unexpected). 2 million signed the recall petition. Then there are the 80k recall gatherers ready to...

VIDEOThat is a question that MILLIONS of Americans are asking right now. I can't remember a time when tax refunds have been delayed so long on such a mass scale. The federal government is waaaaaay delayed on sending us our tax refunds yet they are already planning on passing multi-trillion dollar spending programs? Beam me up, Scotty!Oh, and finally, WHERE'S MY DAMN TAX REFUND?

Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) are asking the Justice Department for more information and records after learning that the department could not locate 59 of the 96 phones used by Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s team. Further, the Justice Department failed to review over twenty phones for federal record preservation. In September 2020, Grassley asked about the potential violation of federal record-keeping laws after a Freedom of Information Act disclosure detailed the inventory and management of the special counsel team’s devices and showed records had been deleted. Johnson requested information from the Justice Department’s Office of Inspector General...

Tape. It has many uses: School projects. Quick fixes. Sometimes it’s even used in fashion. Double sided stick tape has long been a hack for those who dare to bear in plunging necklines (see JLo’s 90s era jungle Armani gown). At Paraiso Swim Week, tape was used for yet another reason Saturday night: as a material. Local designer Joel Alvarez sent his models out at Faena Forum in Miami Beach in a special kind of adhesive that works on human skin and does not leave any stickiness once removed.

Operation Barn Door began on the morning of Nov. 5, 2020, when the Trump “campaign” suddenly realized it should have been paying attention—over the previous two years!—to what the Democrats were up to via the George Soros-funded secretaries of state project. It involved an entirely futile and doomed last stand to somehow overturn the certified (a better word would be “rubber-stamped,” which is all the legislatures and the Congress actually do) results according to the timetables laid down by law. At that point, there simply wasn’t enough time for the Trump team to do what it should’ve been doing from...

No one can compete with CNN in its complete lack of self-awareness of what it is: a talking-points network for Democrats, and the media’s loudest voice for removing Fox News from your cable TV. At 10:55 pm, Brian Stelter e-mailed out their latest "Reliable Sources" propaganda sheet under the headline “Have you no shame?” It was a quote of their hero President Biden. Stelter began: "Make no mistake," President Biden said Tuesday, "bullies and merchants of fear, peddlers of lies, are threatening the very foundation of our country." Biden's dire warning -- part of his address about an ongoing assault...

WASHINGTON, Sunday, July 14. The following was received, July 13, from Beverly, Va.: "I have received from Col. PEGRAM propositions for his surrender, with his officers and remnant of his command, say 600 men. They are said to be extremely penitent, and determined never again to take up arms against the General Government. I shall have near 900 or 1,000 prisoners to take care of when Col. PEGRAM comes in. The latest accounts make the loss of the rebels in killed some 150." Gen MCCLELLAN's dispatches have diffused general joy here, and none share in it in a greater degree...

Well, Keith Olbermann decided to pop his head out of the bunker to give a lecture on the Second Amendment. Yeah, you might want to grab a drink or seven if you want to watch. To put it simply, it’s an attempt at gaslighting us on gun rights. According to Mr. Olbermann, the Second Amendment doesn’t mean we can own firearms. Despite the text, which is clear, and eons of legal precedent, Olbermann says owning guns isn’t a right. He wasn’t alone either. That’s the new rule. If you don’t like something, just invent stuff and see if it flies....

(Nirosha Murugan, Levin lab, Tufts University and Wyss Institute at Harvard University) A slippery yellow slime that lives in the damp undergrowth is continuing to test our understanding of what it means to make decisions. Physarum polycephalum, AKA the many-headed slime mold, uses its body to physically sense its environment before making a decision about where it wants to go, new research has found. It's the latest in an impressive list of ways the single-celled organism has blown our minds lately. "People are becoming more interested in Physarum because it doesn't have a brain but it can still perform a...

Tucker Carlson: It Appears There Was Meaningful Voter Fraud in Fulton County, GeorgiaFox News host Tucker Carlson went on the record Wednesday night to declare that it appears there was “meaningful voter fraud in Fulton County, Georgia” in the 2020 election, contradicting the prevailing Democrat-media narrative that portrays all such allegations as “a big lie.”“That is not a conspiracy theory,” Carlson insisted. “It’s true.”Referring to this week’s bombshell revelation that the election was “riddled with massive errors and provable fraud,” Carlson reported that “at least 36 batches of mail-in ballots from the November election were double counted in Fulton County,”...

Numerous video at link: In the past seven days, South Africa has never come closer to becoming a failed state. The riotous looting has reduced Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal, the two provinces hit hard by the social unrest into what resembles warzones. The country quickly descended into what could be the beginning innings of a civil war, prompting the government to call up military reserves and seek deployment of up to 25,000 troops to quell the violence. "It is a war zone . . . towns deserted, shops looted, bodies lying on the road," John Steenhuisen, leader of the main opposition...

Heathrow passenger numbers remain almost 90 percent down on pre-pandemic levels and significantly lower than EU rival airports, new figures show. Airport bosses revealed just 957,000 passengers passed through its terminals in June compared with 7,246,157 who used the west London airport in June 2019.

My friends, the EXPONENTIAL demonic movement behind all mediums of information today is absolutely ASTOUNDING to me! Lawless men are all in for lawlessness and are whole heartedly available and open to demonic deception and use (John 8:44, Eph. 2:1-2)! We can especially see and observe this EXPONENTIAL demonic movement in all facets of medium today in light of our nation's post 2020 elections and in light of the Biden crime family scandals etc. In light of the Left's super aggression, "Fake News", critical theory agenda, coordinated narratives and unified montages, envy, love of lawlessness, rebellion and demonic defamation against...

The book by two Washington Post reporters reveal a phone call between the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and Cheney where Mark Milley asked her how she was doing after the attack on the Capitol by Trump supporters.

Arizona’s Secretary of State and Maricopa County’s Board of Supervisors are caught spinning garbage again. Arizona’s Secretary of State and the Board of Supervisors were wrong when they claimed the voting machines were no longer usable after Senate audit firm, Cyber Ninjas, performed their audit of the County. The machines they claimed were no longer usable because they were inspected by Cyber Ninjas, which is not certified by the Election Assistance Commission (EAC). In May the Arizona Secretary of State and the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors claimed the voting machines audited in the county were not longer usable since...

Mental health professionals will be sent out to respond to some 911 calls in Chicago instead of cops, following defund the police protests and a number of police killings of mentally-unwell people. The city is launching a two-part 'alternative response' pilot program this fall that takes a more public health approach to responding to 911 calls for mental health emergencies. The initiatives aim to both ensure people suffering a mental health crisis get the help they need rather than face criminalization and free police up for tackling crime, amid a mass exodus of cops from the force.
