....Among the governmental policies to remind those Irish of who was in charge in the U.K. counties of Northern Ireland, the insidious ploy of hiring Irish Catholic women while leaving Catholic Irish men without a source of employment was the meanest. What it told the man was that he and his abilities were worthless, but the wife has something to contribute. The family would live on what she earned while the man of the house could idle away his time. Not only was this playing with Irish income, but it was playing with Irish heads. When any government proposes to...

A Texas man who was shot six times is still waiting for surgery in a Houston hospital about a week after the shooting as the facility struggles due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Joel Valdez is waiting for surgery at Ben Taub Hospital in Houston, Texas and spoke to Fox 26 about the situation, advising people to do their best to keep healthy and not end up in the hospital right now. Ben Taub Hospital's Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is operating at 98 percent capacity, according to a spokesperson for the Harris Health System, while 33 percent of those patients...

It is no secret that the Biden administration has a serious cyber-security problem. In fact, American vulnerability under the new president has ushered in a period of unprecedented cyber-activity against the U.S., and new attacks have wrought havoc against all sectors of the economy and critical infrastructure. Headlines from the beginning of the year through deep into the summer have been dominated by attacks against entities including Apple, Colonial Pipeline, beef supplier JBS, and Kaseya, and these hacks all have happened in the aftermath of the wide-ranging SolarWinds attack, which affected tens of thousands of public and private organizations. In...

Three Senate Republicans who voted for $1.2 trillion “infrastructure” hoax have Republican primary opponents in 2022. The opposition comes during a time when the three RINO Senators voted for the so-called “infrastructure” bill, authorizing the Democrats’ two-track scheme of passing the $3.5 trillion Trojan horse reconciliation package, which is full of far-left items, such as expanding Medicare, amnesty, global warming initiatives, and subsidized racial equity and environmental justice initiatives.

Leave it to far-left New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio to be the first in the country to roll out the tyranny of mandated vaccine passports masquerading as prudent public health policy. It’s becoming apparent that de Blasio and his fellow commissars in the Democrat Party have not thought through the ramifications of this policy as it impacts their key constituencies: Blacks and Latinos, both of whom are very reluctant to take the jab. Black New Yorkers are the least vaccinated group, with a 31% participation rate. Boston Mayor Kim Janey (the city’s first African American mayor) apparently didn’t...

The Weekly Gardening Thread is a weekly gathering of folks that love soil, seeds and plants of all kinds. From complete newbies that are looking to start that first potted plant, to gardeners with some acreage, to Master Gardener level and beyond, we would love to hear from you. If you have specific question about a plant/problem you are having, please remember to state the Growing Zone where you are located. This thread is a non-political respite.

Just when you think the accusations of racism can't get any more absurd, this ridiculous headline pops up on Yahoo!Sports: "MLB umpires show discrimination against non-white players, according to new study." That's right. You read it correctly. Major-league umpires are racist, and it's based on allegedly erroneous ball and strike calls and which player benefits from the errant call. "A new study suggests MLB umpires discriminate against non-white players, according to Hank Snowdon, a student at Claremont McKenna," wrote Chris Cwik from Yahoo!Sports. "The study used balls and strikes data from the past 13 seasons to determine the rate of...

It feels just like the 70’s again, without all the cool clothes.Run away inflation, high unemployment, gas lines along with rapidly rising gas prices – oh, and another humiliating defeat of our military at the hands of the most incompetent cast of commanders and clowns since Robert McNamara. General Milley knew what was going to happen as soon as we left Afghanistan, although he played word games with the inevitable: The Taliban has seized a substantial swath of territory and "the strategic momentum seems to be with the Taliban, but the Afghan security forces are consolidating their forces to protect...

(This post is satire.) With the Delta variant raging across the world, the time has come to take stern measures against the unvaccinated. Let me make clear that these measures should not be employed against illegal aliens or BLM riot...er, sorry, protesters, as Covid is only a threat from Trump supporters. It’s not like we’re dealing with the Black Death, which killed one-third of the population in the Middle Ages. Covid is not Ebola with a 90% mortality rate. Covid is far more serious. It has only a 98% survivability rate! That means 2% of the people who catch Covid...

Quite often, I must resist the temptation to fall back on Tucker Carlson videos because he expresses so well something I’ve wanted to write. However, when it comes to America’s utterly ignominious retreat from Afghanistan on Biden’s watch, it’s impossible for me to do better than Tucker did. In a few minutes, he reminds us of America’s disgraceful retreat from Saigon, of the endless treasure we lost in Afghanistan (not just money but the lives, happiness, and well-being of tens of thousands of men), and of the architects of the disaster who never pay a price – although the Afghanis...

WASHINGTON — The last-minute decision to send 3,000 U.S. troops to Afghanistan to help partially evacuate the U.S. Embassy is calling into question whether President Joe Biden will meet his Aug. 31 deadline for fully withdrawing combat forces. The vanguard of a Marine contingent arrived in Kabul, the capital, on Friday, and most of the rest of the 3,000 are due by Sunday. Stephen Biddle, a professor of international and public affairs at Columbia University, said in an interview the announcement that 3,000 U.S. troops are heading to Kabul to help pull out American diplomats and embassy staff likely made...

Asians are now the fastest-growing ethnic group in California, according to new U.S. Census data. "We are a community of immigrants and we are growing," said Mai Vang, Sacramento city's first Asian councilwoman. "When we look at our city services, are we truly meeting the needs of our community? Not just our Asian community, but our Black, our Latino; Indigenous. That's going to be really important."

While the establishment blasts non-stop vaccine propaganda, several prominent medical doctors have issued dire warnings that it’s not safe for use in humans.The declarations going directly against the pro-vax narrative have prompted social media giants to silence and censor the doctor’s views on Covid-19.Watch these doctors warn about the dangers of the experimental mRNA jabs, which have not yet been approved by the FDA.Dr. Charles HoffeDuring a Zoom meeting with other medical professionals, Lytton, British Columbia, family physician Dr. Charles Hoffe, who was put under a gag order by the Canadian government, claimed many vaccinated people could be dead within...

Nancy Pelosi extended the controversial proxy voting capability until October 1, allowing more time for abuse. "In light of the attached notification by the Sergeant-at-Arms, in consultation with the Office of Attending Physician, that a public health emergency is in effect due to a novel coronavirus, I am hereby extending the “covered period” designated on January 4, 2021, pursuant to section 3(s) of House Resolution 8, until October 1, 2021." Proxy voting has been in place in the House for members to use for over a year. Proxy voting was only supposed to be in effect for 45 days during...

Afghanistan is a disaster of untold dimensions. It's a story so big it's actually drawing mainstream media interest, given the monumental scale of failure from our country's sorry leadership. But nothing beats this analysis from a CNN contributor who blasts Joe Biden to smithereens in the most damning presentation of facts so far. That CNN would publish this is almost as newsworthy as the unfolding Afghanistan fiasco. Peter Bergen is an old war correspondent who was onto bin Laden back in the 1990s and actually interviewed the monster. He knows his stuff. In his analysis, he puts all of the...

Between the Cuomo disgrace and President Obama’s “scaled back” and maskless celebrity birthday bash, did this week see peak liberal hypocrisy? Surely not, because, like Olympic records, there’s always another level liberals can reach.

CRANSTON, R.I. (WJAR) — There is more fallout from the public records controversy in South Kingstown. The National Education Association Rhode Island (NEARI) and NEA South Kingstown (NEASK) filed a complaint in Rhode Island Superior Court on Monday to "protect teachers' privacy rights," NEARI Communication Director Stephanie DeSilva Mandeville shared Wednesday. "This action seeks to temporarily restrain the School Department from releasing any information related to these APRA requests," the union wrote in a statement. "NEARI believes many of these documents are not public records as defined under APRA and/or fall under APRA’s exclusions and therefore are not subject to...
