“Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned? Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned? So he that goeth in to his neighbour's wife; whosoever toucheth her shall not be innocent" (Proverbs 6:27-29).

It is incumbent on individuals to make fully informed decisions on how this nation can retain the legacy of liberty, and feed their family Voters’ approval of legislation and administrative regulations are often driven by whether or not a personality connected to policy is liked, disliked, worshiped or hated. Media tag these preferences “cults of personality” and, in so doing, lawmaking and enforcement, or lack thereof, is not being instituted on merit but on emotional appeal.

Democrats worry poor messaging will cost seats in midterms; reaction from ‘The Five.’

The Justice Department inspector general could not find evidence that FBI employees leaked non-public information to Rudy Giuliani about the Hillary Clinton email investigation in the lead-up to the 2016 election, according to a new report... When the inspector general further reviewed information from their FBI phones, the office found that those agents had been in contact with numbers that were not "specific to Giuliani." "Accordingly, the purported investigative leads provided by the FBI based on alleged FBI employee contacts with Giuliani were inaccurate," the inspector general report said... ...The new report said that the "number of employees in communication...

Asked how soon does he think he will receive an answer from Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich, State Senator Sonny Borelli told OANN’s Natalie Harp, “I’m really confident the attorney general will follow through with this.” “The attorney general did send in an amicus brief, if you will, when the county was challenging us on our subpoena. He wrote to the courts saying our subpoenas were legal and enforceable and they should comply. The judge agreed with him and told the county, ‘Yes, our subpoenas are legal and enforceable and suggest you follow through'”, Borelli said. Asked if AG Brnovich...

Arizona state Senator Wendy Rogers made it clear on Thursday that one of the primary goals of the Maricopa County audit is for other states and counties where Dominion machines were used to follow Arizona’s lead and conduct a full forensic audit of their results. This is why, according to Sen. Rogers, Arizona’s leadership is taking time to “get it right” so that their process can be replicated and “used and moved forward in other states.” The senator went on to claim that “100% proof” or a “smoking gun” is not needed to decertify the 2020 election results, which she...

Nobody seems to like Vice President Kamala Harris, and the ladies of The View are none too happy about it. After reports of Harris’ plummeting approval rates, the show’s hosts did their best to convince their audience she deserves support. As is often the case, these television personalities attempted to explain the vice president’s apparent unlikability by repeating a familiar refrain commonly used on the left. But there seems to be more to this story.

President Biden has had little trouble getting even the most controversial nominees confirmed. Democrats have voted in unison, with only Neera Tanden, Biden’s pick to head his budget office, facing bipartisan opposition. But the White House is pulling out all the stops to push through David Chipman’s confirmation to head the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF). And Democrats want the vote to take place this week. White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki claims that the largely Republican opposition to Chipman “speaks volumes to their complete refusal to tackle this spike in crime we’ve seen over the last...

President Joe Biden on Aug. 5 said he’s offering a “safe haven” to Hongkongers in the United States that would allow thousands to extend their stay, amid Beijing’s “significant erosion” of their freedoms back home.In a signed memo, Biden asked the Department of Homeland Security to defer the removal of Hong Kong residents currently in the United States by 18 months, citing “compelling foreign policy reasons” that include defending democracy and promoting human rights around the world.He noted the deteriorating freedoms in Hong Kong since the Chinese regime imposed the wide-ranging national security law, under which police have arrested more...

In a move that is likely to get noticed by politicians at Seattle City Hall, Sheriff Mitzi Johanknecht has informed her professional staffers who work at the sheriff's headquarters to work from home because of unsafe conditions in and around the King County courthouse. The order was delivered in a memo to all sheriff personnel on Tuesday, and takes effect immediately. Last week, a court employee was sexually assaulted by a homeless man say prosecutors in a women’s bathroom not far from the sheriff’s headquarters in the building.... For years, courthouse personnel have complained of random attacks surrounding the courthouse...

Joe Biden on Thursday raised eyebrows by failing to invite the world's largest manufacturer of electric vehicles to his EV summit, after appearing to bow to union pressure. Biden invited to the White House the heads of General Motors, Ford and Stellantis - the Dutch-owned firm which makes Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep brands. The three firms are the three largest employers of members of the United Auto Workers union, which in April 2020 endorsed Biden, bringing the support of 400,000 workers. Tesla, whose Model 3, X and S cars alone make up almost 60 per cent of the U.S. electric...

‘The Vaccine doesn’t prevent transmission of Covid’… Rochelle Walensky — Vaccines cannot prevent Covid transmission anymore “Our vaccines are working exceptionally well. They continue to work well for Delta, with regard to severe illness and death – they prevent it. But what they can’t do anymore is prevent transmission.”

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis urged Floridians to get medical treatment if they need to, and not be deterred by an increase in hospital cases of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus.“Hospitals are open in Florida. People who need medical treatment should not be afraid to go to their local hospital. They will have room for everyone who needs treatment,” DeSantis said on a conference call with the CEOs of several of Florida’s major hospitals.“We do not want anyone to be unduly alarmed by media coverage and be deterred from seeking medical treatment when they need it.”DeSantis has been a vocal...

CNN has fired three employees for coming to the office unvaccinated against COVID-19.All employees working in its offices or in the field had been required to be fully vaccinated. CNN President Jeff Zucker said in a memo to staff on Thursday that the cable news channel has “a zero-tolerance policy on this” and fired the three staffers after finding out that they had been coming to the office unvaccinated for this past week.“You need to be vaccinated to come to the office,” Zucker said. “And you need to be vaccinated to work in the field, with other employees, regardless of...

Remember that promise of Joe Biden’s that he wasn’t going to raise taxes on people earning less than $400,000 per year?“If you make less than $400,000, you won’t see one single penny in additional federal tax,” Biden told George Stephanopoulos in March 2020.But then Psaki tried to fudge that by saying that they meant “families” earning that amount or suggesting that it referred to couples. Which, of course, has a completely different meaning and leaves individuals at much greater risk.But that is not the only place where the Democrats are trying to sneak something past us in regard to potential...

With numbers for the Games collapsing, NBC News and Lester Holt focus on divisiveness.As NBC has been anguishing over the failure of the Olympics, the network has been striving on its telecast to come up with any manner of compelling storylines to attract those viewers it was counting on tuning in. The executives might have been wise to keep tabs on other departments, as Lester Holt on NBC Nightly News managed to work against their interests. In a profile of one of the star athletes on his broadcast Holt delivered more of the very anti-social content that has been driving...
