President Joe Biden on Sunday celebrated national ice cream day by posting an image of himself grabbing a large cone and posing for a selfie.

A 'extremely privileged' man has been slammed on Twitter over the weekend for complaining that his parents give him tens of thousands of dollars. Qiaochu Yuan wrote a 35-tweet thread on Thursday detailing his resentment towards his parents for always financially supporting him, even though he has not had a job in three years. He started off the viral thread by saying he took 'a medium dose of acid' a few days prior, and 'admitted some things to myself' about his financial situation, including admitting to himself that he resented his mother after she gave him $100,000 for his birthday...

07/18/21 Joe Biden kept talking about how good of a job he's doing on the distribution of the Vaccine that was developed by Operation Warp Speed or, quite simply, the Trump Administration. He's not doing well at all. He's way behind schedule, and people are refusing to take the Vaccine because they don't trust his Administration, they don't trust the Election results, and they certainly don't trust the Fake News, which is refusing to tell the Truth.

U.S. top officials issued a stark warning regarding Communist China, according to The Daily Wire. “This idea that it’s only a Taiwan scenario vs. many other areas where the Chinese are being highly assertive, coercive, is a failure in understanding complexity, because it’s not that simple.” “’Too late,’” Mike Studeman stated. “Too late in comprehending the deadly purpose of a potential enemy.” “Too late in realizing the mortal danger. Too late in preparedness.” “Too late in uniting all possible forces for resistance.” China is developing “nuclear-powered underwater drones and nuclear-powered cruise missiles.

Last week, Time magazine’s online version featured a story headlined The Conservative Case Against Banning Critical Race Theory. Oddly enough, its author was a law professor at the University of Chicago, Aziz Huq, who is neither conservative nor terribly sympathetic towards America or American values. The story did not feature anything about “banning” CRT or the conservative case against it. The article is largely balderdash. It claims that different states that have forbidden the use of Critical Race Theory (CRT) as a tool for indoctrinating school children have described that pernicious philosophy differently that the critics of CRT don’t understand...

Richard Grenell, the former Acting Director of National Intelligence, says the Washington media are not just in bed with Democrats. They're not just covering for Democrats. They're not just using Democrat talking points. They're actually "shilling" for them. He wrote recently at the American Center for Law and Justice, with which he now is affiliated, that the mainstream media are facing a "growing list of news stories" about the 2020 election that members got wrong. Significantly, he said, "The series of erroneous stories not only consistently helped Joe Biden’s campaign or covered up Biden’s mistakes but they also criticized Trump’s...

Hannah-Jones said Cuba has the least inequality between Black and White people 1619 Project writer Nikole Hannah-Jones said in a podcast that she believes Cuba is the most equal country in the Western hemisphere and could serve as a model for its integration agenda. In a 2019 podcast with Ezra Klein of Vox and The New York Times, Hannah-Jones was asked whether there were candidates or places that she thought had a "viable and sufficiently ambitious integration agenda." Hannah-Jones responded that while she is not an expert on race relations internationally, she believed the most "equal" and "multiracial" country in...

Explanation: What does the Andromeda galaxy look like in ultraviolet light? Young blue stars circling the galactic center dominate. A mere 2.5 million light-years away, the Andromeda Galaxy, also known as M31, really is just next door as large galaxies go. Spanning about 230,000 light-years, it took 11 different image fields from NASA's Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) satellite telescope to produce this gorgeous portrait of the spiral galaxy in ultraviolet light in 2003. While its spiral arms stand out in visible light images, Andromeda's arms look more like rings in ultraviolet. The rings are sites of intense star formation and...

Chinese leader Xi Jinping changed his “wolf warrior” tone to “cooperation” and “fusion” with other countries at a July 16 virtual conference with U.S. President Joe Biden, Russia’s Vladimir Putin, and other world leaders of the Asia-Pacific trade group APEC. “We should tear down the walls [barriers between countries], instead of building walls. We should open up the borders instead of isolating. We should fuse [with each other], instead of decoupling,” Xi said. “Cooperating and achieving win-win results are the unique right way.” In this latest speech, Xi didn’t mention the topics previously mentioned almost every time when he delivered...

The British government on Monday lifted pandemic restrictions on daily life in England, scrapping all social distancing in a step slammed by scientists and opposition parties as a dangerous leap into the unknown. From midnight (2300 GMT Sunday), nightclubs were able to reopen and other indoor venues allowed to run at full capacity, while legal mandates covering the wearing of masks and working from home were scrapped. Prime Minister Boris Johnson—who is self-isolating after his health minister was infected—urged the public to remain prudent and for any laggards to join the two-thirds of UK adults who are now fully vaccinated.

Are we living in the age of stupid? The era of the idiot? The answer of course is yes, with examples of monstrous moronicism everywhere – from climate deniers to the “plandemic” crowd who believe Covid-19 was cooked up in Bill Gates’ basement. On the other hand, human beings have always been illogical creatures. A better question is whether we are, as a species, becoming dumberer. If this is already the era of the idiot, what comes next? An “Idiocracy”, according to film-maker Mike Judge. The Beavis and Butt-head, King of the Hill and Silicon Valley creator’s dystopian 2006 comedy...

Arizona Senate President Karen Fann, a Republican, said the state Senate doesn’t have the ability to recall electors for the Nov. 3, 2020, election, after a fellow Republican lawmaker called for new elections. Fann told One America News Network (OANN), which has been covering the audit of Maricopa County, that the upper chamber has the ability to provide auditors with the materials they need—including through the use of subpoenas—but the certification of electors is a different matter. “The Senate body—we do not have the authority to do that. So, this is what we have said, and I want to make...

The Biden Administration has announced plans to send agents “door to door” in order to “get remaining Americans vaccinated, by ensuring they have the information they need on how both safe and accessible the vaccine is.” A leaked script from the Lake County Health Department in Illinois tells the Community Health Ambassadors to keep track of the addresses and responses from residents in a “Doorknocking Spreadsheet.” The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS) makes the following observations: The U.S. Constitution provides no authority for the federal government to be involved in medicine, for example, by recommending, promoting, or mandating...

WASHINGTON — Two more Texas Democrats tested positive for the coronavirus Sunday, bringing the total number of cases among the nearly 60 lawmakers in Washington up to five. Three members previously tested positive for COVID-19, with the first case confirmed Friday evening and two more reported Saturday morning, including Rep.

Trey Martinez Fischer of San Antonio said in a statement that he was one of the two members to test positive for the virus on Sunday, after testing negative on both Friday and Saturday. The Texas House...

Another brave whistleblower. Hasbro pushing CRT.

He became world famous in 2005 for his controversial depiction of the Prophet Muhammad in the newspaper. Westergaard's cartoon, which showed a turban bomb, was one of 12 published by the newspaper to make a point about self-censorship and criticism of Islam. Depictions of the Prophet Muhammad are widely regarded as taboo in Islam, and are offensive to some Muslims. The newspaper's cartoons prompted protests in Denmark, while its government received complaints from the ambassadors of Muslim-majority countries. The anger culminated in protests across the Muslim world in February 2006. Danish embassies were attacked and dozens died in riots.

July 18 (UPI) -- Surgeon General Vivek Murthy on Sunday said it was "very reasonable" for local officials to reestablish COVID-19 restrictions as cases are on the rise throughout the United States. Appearing on ABC News' This Week, Murthy acknowledged that the United States is seeing an increase in cases "particularly among the unvaccinated in many parts of the country" as Los Angeles County reinstated indoor mask mandates beginning Sunday. "In areas where there are low numbers of vaccinated people, where cases are rising, it's very reasonable for countries to take more mitigation measures, like the mask rules coming out...

Australia will deport controversial British commentator Katie Hopkins after she admitted breaching the country's quarantine rules, Australia's minister for home affairs said on Monday. Hopkins flew into Sydney to appear on Seven Network Ltd's reality television programme Big Brother VIP, according to Australian media, but she stoked public outrage when she posted a video on Instagram joking about answering the door naked and maskless to people delivering meals while she was in hotel quarantine. All arrivals to Australia must complete two weeks in a hotel quarantine, where people must put on a mask before meals are delivered then wait 30...

A Penn State alumnus with credits as a writer, designer, podcast host, children’s author and teacher brings one overarching desire to his work — to help others move up in life, just as others have helped him — and his most recent book provides the next chapter in that effort. Bob McKinnon, who earned his bachelor’s degree from Penn State in 1990, focuses on social good. His recently released children’s book, “Three Little Engines,” provides a modern retelling of the beloved classic, “The Little Engine that Could.” While the original asked young readers to believe in themselves (“I think I...
