Census Bureau statisticians and outside experts are trying to unravel a mystery: Why were so many questions about households in the 2020 census left unanswered? Residents did not respond to a multitude of questions about sex, race, Hispanic background, family relationships and age, even when providing a count of the number of people living in the home, according to documents released by the agency. Statisticians had to fill in the gaps. Reflecting an early stage in the number crunching, the documents show that 10% to 20% of questions were not answered in the 2020 census, depending on the question and...

Rep. Ilhan Omar has no problem taking money from police funding in private communities. Of course, she is not sacrificing her own private security.

The Taliban seized two provincial capitals in Afghanistan on Sunday, according to Afghan officials, the latest to be overtaken by the insurgents since the start of a sweeping military offensive in May.With the capture of Taleqan, the capital of the northeastern province of Takhar, and the strategically important city Kunduz just hours earlier, the Taliban now have a hold on four provincial capitals across the country.In Kunduz, fighting between Taliban insurgents and Afghanistan's government forces took place Sunday near the governor's office and police headquarters, provincial council member Ghulam Rabani Rabani told The Associated Press.

There is growing concern among Tennesseans after Gov. Bill Lee quietly issued an Executive Order on Friday giving the state permission to call up the National Guard and State Guard “in connection with certain health care and emergency services operations.” Tennessee Stands, an influential statewide conservative coalition, said they found some of the governor’s orders “exceptionally concerning.” One section of Executive Order 83 would permit the construction of “temporary quarantine and isolation facilities.” “Telephone assessments for involuntary commitment cases are permitted,” the executive order also states.

I have been feverishly writing lately on covid mandates and vaccine passports issues, and I’m sure most readers understand why – We are currently at the cusp of a great conflict against the powers that be; people who are exploiting the (mostly manufactured) covid crisis for unprecedented political and economic control. And when I say “manufactured”, I mean that there is no crisis, no need for mandates, no need for lockdowns and no need for vaccine passports. We are dealing with a virus that around 99.7% of people will easily survive according to the medical establishment’s own studies and stats...

Rapper Trap Beckham and manager TJ Chapman discreetly snapped pics of Obama’s high-end food, drink, and swag offerings and talked to their followers as the party unfolded, according to screenshots of the posts, which were later deleted under the event’s photography ban. The DJ posted stealth pics of Obama’s ‘epic’ birthday party — before being forced to delete them. He gave us the best inside look from the party full of “royalties” who imposed rules on the common folks’ but decided not to follow them. The recording artist and his handler posted themselves smoking cannabis. The New York Post reported...

A town in Massachusetts is looking for a man who is allegedly going to door-to-door and trying to sell meat from his van. While authorities have said there’s currently no evidence of anything "nefarious" going on, they’re still asking residents to report any sightings of this mystery meat man. The Westfield Detective Bureau posted photos of the meat man on its Facebook page. In the images, the unidentified individual can be seen approaching a house’s door at around 2:30 in the afternoon.His van, which is supposedly full of meat, is parked nearby on the street. Aside from an American flag...

Jon Lindbergh, a pioneering aquanaut and the son of legendary aviator Charles Lindbergh, has died aged 88. He passed away on July 29 after a battle with metastatic renal cancer, his daughter told the New York Times. While his father took to the skies, Jon took to the ocean - carving out a name for himself scavenging the depths of the seas as one of the world's earliest aquanauts. He pioneered cave diving and participated in dangerous underwater rescues - including one to find a hydrogen bomb that was lost in the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of Spain in...

A top House Republican doubts the Justice Department will allow the release of any report from special counsel John Durham. Rep. Devin Nunes, the ranking member on the House Intelligence Committee, said Attorney General Merrick Garland "seems to be kind of a puppet for the Left." The "challenge," he added, is whether Garland will "bury the report."The California Republican made the observation during an interview with Newsmax that aired less than two weeks after a Justice Department official said the agency "agrees" with an order by former Attorney General William Barr regarding transparency for the inquiry into the origins and...

A trio of tropical disturbances are developing in the Atlantic basin and should be closely watched next week. Two of the disturbances have the chance of forming into tropical depressions in the next five days. July was a quiet period after an active start (June 1) to the 2021 Atlantic hurricane season, but statistically, the busiest part of the hurricane season begins on Aug. 20. It seems a significant uptick in storms is ahead. The first disturbance is a low-pressure system over the west-central Atlantic. The second disturbance is more east and is moving westward in the central tropical Atlantic....

The number of people entering the U.S. illegally who were processed by Border Patrol from January through July of this year totaled more than 1.1 million, enough to create the 10th largest city in the U.S. and more than the populations of nine states individually. Currently, the tenth largest city is San Jose, Calif., with a population of 1.03 million. To date, the number is also greater than each of the populations of Wyoming (581,075), Vermont (623,251), Alaska (724,357), North Dakota (770,026), South Dakota (896,581), Delaware (990,334), Rhode Island (1,061,509), Montana (1,085,004) and the District of Columbia (714,153). If the...

Donald Trump took swipes at Democrat policies that have kept kids out of school as he appeared on the Fox News show “Unfiltered” hosted by Dan Bongino. The 45th President of the United States made the appearance on Saturday night and had plenty to say about the state of Joe Biden’s America, Fox News reported. “You know, it’s turned out computers are wonderful and all of that. But one thing we’ve learned through college and school, undergraduate, everything, is that being in the school is much better than looking at a computer screen” he said.

1.1 THE CONCEPT OF CRITIQUE Whether viewed as a tradition, as a set of questions, or as a ser ies of distinct thinkers, critical theory has continued to attract attention in academic circles throughout the post–World War II era. The reasons for this should come as lit-tle surprise. The members of the Institute of Social Research at the University of Frankfurt in the years leading up to the victory of Nazism in Germany— what we generally know as the Frankfurt School—had in view some of the most compelling problems and questions of modern society. Critical theory is not, however, simply...

Antifa, carrying shields and weapons, attacked a group of Christians, including young children, who were congregating in Portland. A large group of Antifa carrying shields and melee weapons attacked a group of Evangelical Christians congregating for a prayer and worship event at the waterfront in downtown Portland, Ore. Video recorded at the scene showed children and families running away as black-clad Antifa militants tore apart the sound equipment and assaulted attendees with pepper spray and projectiles.

I am extremely concerned, especially about the blood clotting. It's been obvious to me from the beginning that these vaccines would do this, especially in people who are low in zinc as zinc regulates blood clotting and platelet function. I have a doctor friend who I believe is suffering from this condition right now, having severe headaches and high blood pressure ever since taking the Pfizer shots. This new JAMA article should lift everybody's eyebrows and demand a stop to mandating these so-called vaccines (be sure and study the graphs): Myocarditis and Pericarditis After Vaccination for COVID-19: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2782900 Zinc and...

We’re all going to die unless we allow Big Pharma, with no liability for killing or maiming you with their experimental gene therapy, and totalitarian politicians to inject us with a concoction which doesn’t keep you from contracting covid or spreading covid.Fauci, Walensky, Biden, Pasaki and the rest of the Biden apparatchiks are liars, frauds, and fear mongering whores for Big Pharma. Fauci is the father of covid. He created it with his illegal gain of function funding, partnering with the communist government of China and is responsible for all the death and economic destruction wrought over the last eighteen...

Texas House Democrats who fled to Washington, D.C., in July to avoid voting on an election reform bill filed a lawsuit against Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) and other Republican leaders on Friday, alleging the governor’s threat to arrest them upon their return to the Lone Star State is causing them “anxiety,” “distress,” and “embarrassment.”

This is the most important commentary I’ve ever written. It’s time for alarm bells. It’s time for me to play the part of Paul Revere. “The communist tyrants and dictators are coming. The communist tyrants and dictators are coming.” They’re coming first for unvaccinated Americans. This is 1938. I’m a Jew. I now understand just a little of what it felt like to be a Jew in 1938. No, it’s not the Holocaust. Nothing can be compared to the Holocaust. Ever. But 1938 was not the Holocaust. It was the pre-Holocaust. It was the days before the nightmare, when the...

Triumph of the Will: The Novus Ordo, RIPGERMAN FILMMAKER LENI Riefenstahl’s 1936 cinematic encomium to the Berlin Olympics, Festival of Nations, opens with a montage of marble statues of Greek gods and goddesses in the ruins of ancient temples. One statue, of a discus thrower, comes to life, after which the action is of human beings engaging in the ancient Greek sports of javelin hurling, shotput, and long-distance running. Apollonian men strive in dramatic lighting, bodies glistening with sweat, taut with exertion. Aphroditic female nudes cavort with rings and dance in the glory of the human form. This prelude soon...
