What started as Texans seeking to protect a local river has morphed into a political firestorm after a Chinese billionaire and member in good standing with the Chinese Communist Party snapped up 140,000 acres in the state on the border with Mexico near Laughlin Air Force Base. And Chinese real estate tycoon Sun Guangxin is not only a neighbor to a top U.S. military installation, but he is planning a wind farm on the property, meaning the operation could be connected to the electricity grid in the state. Devils River Conservancy was the first to sound the alarm about foreign...

Democrats on Capitol Hill are proving their socialist stripes: They’ve reportedly considered raiding the “super-sized retirement savings accounts” of the wealthy to pay for their $3.5 trillion progressive spending fiasco. On Tuesday, Politico reported that congressional Democrats are “aghast that hundreds of Americans have IRAs worth more than $25 million, and nearly 30,000 have accounts with balances topping $5 million.” (The nerve of them, no?) On the other hand, they observe, some folks “have little to no retirement savings” — also surely the fault of those who work hard and save their money over the course of their lives. Meanwhile,...

Subway franchisees across the country are demanding that ads featuring soccer star Megan Rapinoe be dropped because of her anti-American antics. Her stint as a pitchwoman for Subway began this spring. Subway Franchises Blast Rapinoe Rapinoe has been hired as a spokesperson for Subway despite the fact that she is known as the Colin Kaepernick of the women’s soccer world. She regularly takes a knee during the national anthem before soccer games. A Wisconsin Subway operator recently took to the discussion forum of the North American Association of Subway Franchisees to post a photo of a hand-scrawled note from an...

The clock has been ticking for a long time, and now Israel is telling us that Iran is "only around 10 weeks away from acquiring weapons-grade materials necessary for a nuclear weapon". The Israelis have always been very clear about the fact that they will never, ever allow the Iranians to get to that point, and so that would appear to leave only 10 weeks remaining to avert a major war in the Middle East. And let us certainly hope that war can be averted, because a major war in the Middle East could easily spark a full-blown global war....

@ChadPergram Hoyer to recall the Hse on Aug 23 to deal with infrastructure bills and John Lewis voting bill. Says Hse “will remain in session until our business for the week is concluded.”

[H/T Fractal Trader]Very important video. This is why Dr. Zelenko advises to avoid the hospital. 19 months and the CDC still has a damaging protocol and claims they don't have solutions.Note she specifies the ability to remove a patient to hospice- a tactic I hadn't heard but worked for her. What it's like to be sucked into the hospital 'system' where science doesn't matter, your rights are diminished and misdiagnosis and denial of treatment is standard practice.However, she was fortunate to receive advice for him to receive IV High Dose Vitamin C. Frontline Doctors advised high dose zinc, N.A.C. but...

Editor’s Commentary: When this story came across my digital desk, I was excited because I thought it would cover one of the topics I’ve been meaning to discuss further. It didn’t, but what it delivered made me even more concerned. Aden walks us through the various concrete reasons why America’s healthcare workers are dwindling at a time when we need to be increasing staff. It’s a great article. What he didn’t cover is the more conspiratorial nature of what’s happening. During several conversations I’ve had with Lt. Gen. Tom McInerney, we shared our concerns that the push for universal injections...

Citing exponential growth of COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations across Kentucky, K-12 schools are now required to enforce universal masking among students and staff, Gov. Andy Beshear announced on Tuesday, as he reported 2,500 new cases — the most reported in a single day since early January. Beshear said he will sign an executive order Tuesday requiring all teachers, staff and students in K-12 schools, child care and pre-Kindergarten programs across Kentucky to wear a mask indoors. His executive order applies for 30 days and leaves open the indefinite possibility for renewal. “We are to the point where we cannot allow...

“Loyal to the Teaching of the Faith”As most of you know, the Archdiocese of New York City prohibited her priests from writing religious exemptions for the “Covid-19 vaccine” for the lay faithful seeking such paperwork. But what few people caught was that the Archdiocese stated that her lay faithful who are “very loyal to the teaching of the faith” are the very ones “acting in contradiction to the directives of the Pope.”A friend pointed out to me that the above document does not just assert that traditional Catholics think they are “loyal to the teaching of the faith” but it...

Sen. Rand Paul is fuming after YouTube censored the second one of his videos for violating community guidelines on COVID-19 and suspended him from posting more videos for a week. “They are now banning all my speech, including speech that is given on the Senate floor, which is protected constitutional,” the Kentucky Republican senator told reporters on Tuesday. “YouTube now thinks they are smart enough and godly enough that they can oversee speech, even constitutionally protected speech.” YouTube last week removed a video of an interview the Kentucky Republican senator did on Newsmax. Paul discussed his suspicions about the origins...

VALPARAISO, Ind. -- Valparaiso University announced Tuesday that it has adopted the Beacons as its new team name, replacing the Crusaders, a term school officials dropped this year after saying it had been embraced by hate groups. The university's president, José D. Padilla, said the private Lutheran school's new nickname "directly connects to the University's motto, 'In Thy Light We See Light,' and represents the Valparaiso University community in many ways."

BUH BYE! Governor Andrew Cuomo is Resigning Bye bye Andrew Cuomo

Transgender Person Vs Vietnam Veteran Store Owner VIDEO IS 3 MINUTES LONG When a transgender person took offense to a sign a veteran store owner had on display, the two traded insults with each other.

This nurse mentions they're bringing in Canadians to replace those who refuse the clotshot. Though Henry Ford Hospital is in the Detroit area.Heard the Governor of Tennessee just signed the EO about waiving laws so people not licensed in TN can be hired in health care? I think Governore Abott in Texas just issued the same order?So they will replace Americans nurses unvaccinated with foreigners unvaccinated. Most likely for far less pay. I smell a lawuit.

After New York Democrat Gov. Andrew Cuomo stepped down Tuesday, Tara Reade is now calling for a "real investigation" into President Joe Biden. "May there be some measure of justice for the survivors," Read, who has accused Biden of having sexual assaulted her in 1993, told Fox News. "Now, let's call for a real investigation into Joe Biden and expose the corruption protecting powerful predators."
