A PENTAGON police officer was allegedly stabbed to death by Austin William Lanz — a male suspect who was additionally accused of attacking a cop in Georgia. The officer died after being stabbed on Tuesday as gunfire erupted at a transit heart exterior of The Pentagon. The suspect — recognized as 27-year-old William Lanz of Georgia — died on the scene after getting shot by legislation enforcement, The Associated Press reported. Shortly after 10.30am on Tuesday, the Pentagon was placed on lockdown after a police officer was attacked on a bus platform. Pentagon Force Protection Agency chief Woodrow Kusse stated...

As the world staggers through another summer of extreme weather, experts are noticing something different: 2021′s onslaught is hitting harder and in places that have been spared global warming’s wrath in the past. Wealthy countries such as the United States, Canada, Germany and Belgium are joining poorer and more vulnerable nations on a growing list of extreme weather events that scientists say have some connection to human-caused climate change. Killer floods hit China, but hundreds of people also drowned in parts of Germany and Belgium not used to being inundated. Canada and the Pacific Northwest of the U.S. had what...

What a difference a month can make. Pessimism surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic is surging along with cases of the Delta variant in the US — with only 40 percent of Americans now saying the country is on the right track, down from 89 percent in June, according to a Gallup poll. About 45 percent of Americans said the situation was getting worse, not better, in late July — marking a drastic turnaround from the month before and a psychological return to last year and this past winter, when most US residents were not optimistic the country was overcoming the virus,...

Given the world's bitter experience with COVID-19, sane human beings know epidemics are major national and international security threats. Historians can cite the facts. Plagues harmed ancient Rome and China. The Black Death ravaged medieval Europe. A scar on an Egyptian mummy indicates smallpox haunted planet Earth for at least 3,000 years. However, the combination of 20th-century medical advances such as more vaccines, antibiotics and better dental care; remarkable public health improvements, e.g., clean water; innovative agriculture leading to better diets (the Green Revolution); and quick international communication that facilitated monitoring and reporting disease outbreaks created a false sense of...

On this date in 1781, South Carolina patriot Isaac Hayne was hanged for breaking his conditional British parole and re-enlisting in the American Revolution. Though Hayne is not, to us, the most famous revolutionary executed by the British, he might have been considered by his contemporaries as the most prominent individual to go to the scaffold for the cause. A wealthy planter (lots of slaves!) whose home and grave can still be toured in Jacksonboro, Hayne was among 5,000 to surrender to the British when the latter captured Charleston in 1780. These prisoners were required to swear an oath of...

Job creation at private companies tumbled in July as fears mounted over the spreading coronavirus delta variant, payroll processing firm ADP reported Wednesday...The 330,000 new positions is a sharp deceleration from the 680,000 added in June and the lowest total since February.

Howard Rubin, billionaire George Soros’s right-hand man, has been accused of brutally beating, raping and enslaving women and children as part of a human trafficking operation, according to new testimony from six women who said he beat and assaulted them. 66-year-old Rubin, a high-profile Wall Street financier and former money manager for Soros, has been hit with new allegations he raped and attempted to murder multiple women in a “sex dungeon” at his Manhattan apartment. According to six victims, the NYC property has been converted into a sickening “sex dungeon” to host rape and murder sessions. The first accusations against...

President Joe Biden blamed Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) on Tuesday for the ongoing rise in coronavirus cases in their states. “Just two states, Florida and Texas, account for one-third of all new COVID-19 cases in the entire country, just two states,” he said. Biden was sharply critical of Republican governors who were enacting bans on mask mandates, even for vaccinated Americans. “I say to these governors, please help. But if you’re not going to help, at least get out of the way of the people that are trying to do the right thing,”...

As you may know, during the current pandemic, since the enactment of the so-called “CARES Act” in March 2020, there has been in effect, in various forms, a federal “moratorium” on evictions of rental tenants from their apartments. Thus some landlords have now gone well over a year without getting paid what they are owed, and with no access to any legal remedy. The most recent version of the “moratorium” expired on July 31 (Saturday). This version had been promulgated by the CDC on its own authority, without specific authorization from Congress. On Sunday (August 1) the Democratic Congressional leadership...

Patriot Patrick King represented himself in court after being fined $1200 dollars for protesting against the Covid-Hoax, he slew the beast and emerged VICTORIOUS. He issued a subpoena to the Provincial Health Minister for proof that the so-called Covid-19 Virus exists, and they were forced to admit that they had no evidence whatsoever. The virus has never been isolated, and thus the government had no legal grounds to impose any of the punishing restrictions they have inflicted on society. Since this shocking confession came to light, the Province has since rescinded all Covid-Restrictions and now officially treats Covid-19 as nothing...

Safari Club International needs you to help voice opposition to the Chipman nomination. One of the deepest schisms in the gun-owning community is the one between those of us who think of our firearms as defensive tools and those of us who think of our firearms as a way to bring home wild game meat. The truth of the matter is, of course, that firearms are both of those things and more. However, that division–false though it may be–often results in one group not caring about what happens to the other group. Please see the above for Ben Franklin’s thoughts...

Three days ago, I published an article about Dr. Robert Malone’s warning that we might very well be witnessing the emergence of a deadly condition called Antibody-Dependent Enhancement within the population of people who were injected with Covid-19 “vaccines”. That article went viral overnight as people flocked to this site to find out information that has been actively suppressed by governments and media outlets around the world. The article drew not only truth-seekers but fact-deniers as a league of naysayers attempted to sully the reputation of a doctor who was instrumental in the development of an mRNA technology that is...

In the former Anglosphere, people realize that, within a very short time, the U.S. has lost its luster and is breaking its implied promise to keep the world stable. This is a perspective from the rest of the world or, at least, the English-speaking part. Since the end of World War II, America and Americans have always been seen as brash, loud, ambitious, successful, proud, and innovative. “The Land of the Free” would be the most common description. And ludicrously Christian, praise the Lord and pass the burgers. We, the world, particularly the Commonwealth with British heritage, looked on America...

Far-left Congressional Democrats Cori Bush (Missouri), Ilhan Omar (Minnesota) and Ayanna Pressley (Massachusetts) slept in the rough on the Capitol steps over the weekend, surrounded by cases of bottled water, pizza boxes, staffers and fawning press. These Democrats, who are part of a group who call themselves "The Squad," are protesting the end of the federal moratorium on evictions, which expired Saturday night, and warning of soaring homelessness. They should have been shooed away by Capitol Police for their stunt. Camping on public property is against the law in the District of Columbia. It threatens public safety, creates disorder and...

America Second. That’s the current administration’s goal. Almost immediately once “President” Biden was in office, crude oil and retail gasoline pricing went through the roof. In a blatant, reckless, unthinking cave to the environmental/green lobby, the new administration canceled the Keystone XL pipeline, forfeiting thousands of good-paying, permanent union jobs in favor of enhancing their woke credentials in the eyes of radical progressives and the leftist media. Then they withdrew permission to explore for oil in Alaska’s ANWR region and canceled several exploratory licenses on federal lands. Biden also rejoined the meaningless Paris Accords, further demonstrating that the new government...

It was proven with Carey’s win, a no-name underdog, that Trump’s influence is still powerful and perhaps even growing.

It was to the Philippian Christians that Paul first introduced this truth, “Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 2:5, NKJV). Paul wrote this message to them while he was imprisoned in Rome, declaring that he had the mind of Christ and casting aside his reputation to become a servant of Jesus and his church. Then he wrote, “I trust in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you shortly, that I also may be encouraged when I know your state” (Philippians 2:19). This is the thinking, the outworking, of the mind of Christ....

A dangerous heat wave is ravaging parts of southeastern Europe resulting in wildfires across Turkey, Greece, and Italy, according to VOA News. Firefighters across the European Union arrived in Turkey on Monday. The wildfires have burned for at least one week as political opposition mounts against President Recep Tayyip Erdogan for his sluggish fire response. Turkey doesn’t have firefighting planes and has had to rely on other countries, including several EU members, for aerial fire support. Southern Europe continues to see devastating wildfires fueled by soaring temperatures. Tourists and residents in some parts are still being evacuated. The European Union...
