WASHINGTON, Thursday, Aug. 15. It will be generally recollected that shortly after the election in 1856, the Tennessee papers gave accounts of a threatened insurrection among the slaves of a portion of the State, and that the insurrection was induced by the supposition, prevalent among the blacks, that FREMONT was coming up the river, backed by a large Army, for the purpose of liberating all the slaves. The exact details of the extent of this insurrectionary movement were never fully published; but it was known that many slaves were summarily tried and found guilty, some being executed and others sent...

A big problem with political correctness, wokeness — whatever the left’s latest censorship is being called — is that it doesn’t just apply to politics, these busybodies want to control every aspect of our lives. You can’t escape them anymore. The latest area they are making inroads into is travel and vacations. Now, articles you read about places you want to visit explore how positive the experience is based on what opportunities are available for the nonbinary, how well Critical Race Theory has been implemented in the area, and whether there are very many right wing laws. The Society of...

The unvaccinated are fast on their way to becoming America’s untouchables, the equivalent of people in India who are the bottom caste of society, deprived of their rights and segregated as unclean. Of course, that doesn’t apply to all vaccines, just to the COVID-19 vaccines being urged on Americans with minimal testing, maximum confusion, and no guarantee that the cure won’t be worse than the disease. In many states, including Michigan, universities and employers have begun to insist that their students or employees submit to one of the three available vaccines or be denied access to participation, enrollment or employment....

To amend title 38, United States Code, to require the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to furnish dental care in the same manner as any other medical service, and for other purposes. Why didn't any Republicans co-sponsor this bill? Can someone who is a policy wonk explain this to me?

A recent article (which I will not link here) proclaimed the salacious news that a Christian woman is stripping online (and getting rich in the process) because that is what God wants her to do. She claims to have a personal relationship with Jesus, but without the baggage of thousands of years of man-made doctrine. And, she claims, whenever she asks God about stripping naked online, He always gives her the same answer: yes! This is the just latest example of a disturbing trend that has been growing in recent years, a trend in which you can claim to have...

An officer with the U.S. Navy is warning of a full-blown “national security threat” if the military moves ahead with its planned universal COVID-19 vaccination mandate, in a paper obtained exclusively by Revolver News. In a memorandum released on Monday, Biden Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin announced his intention to require a COVID-19 vaccination for all servicemembers by mid-September, or immediately should any COVID vaccines clear FDA approval (the vaccines are currently only authorized for emergency use). Servicemen who refuse to submit to the vaccine will potentially face court martials, prison time, and even less-than-honorable discharge from the service. If...

What with the ongoing catastrophe in Afghanistan and the earthquake in Haiti, among other news, you may have failed to notice that the IPCC came out on Monday with substantial parts of its long-awaited Sixth Assessment Report on the state of the world’s climate. This is the first such assessment issued by the IPCC since 2014. The most important piece is the so-called “Summary for Policymakers,” (SPM), a 41 page section that is the only part that anyone ever reads. The IPCC attempts to cloak itself in the mantle of “science,” but its real mission is to attempt to scare...

On 11 August 2021, the Wisconsin Natural Resources Board held a meeting that had, as one part of the agenda, the setting of a quota for the number of wolves to be harvested in the November 2021 hunt. The board took testimony from over 50 people. The meeting took over six hours. Link to youtube of Wisconsin Natural Resources Board Meeting on 11 August 2021.At about 5:43:00 Board member Greg Kazmierski gave the number of wolves killed in previous years, which he read from a “green sheet” presented by the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to the Board. The numbers...

If there is nothing to hide, why are so many social media platforms and politicians working so hard to silence dissent and any counter opinions, no matter how well founded. Instead of silencing others, let those crazy conservatives speak and spout their "lies" so that people can see how unfounded their positions are. Any attempts to question the 2020 election are met with outrage, shame, and derision. If conservatives are supporting "the big lie" about a stolen election, then let them embarrass themselves by letting their "obviously false" claims come to light. When all else fails, you can always call...

The media has a lot to answer for in the series of Biden administration catastrophes. Our despicable mainstream media did everything in its vast and coercive power to see Joe Biden elected president. President Trump was a madman, they said, a Hitler, and a host of other ridiculous charges that were patently untrue. He was, and history will show, that he was the best president since Ronald Reagan. But the media hated him because he wasn’t one of their imagined exalted elite. So they lied, cheated, and stole an election in order to put the dementia-ridden Biden in the oval...

Three persons allegedly held on to a wheel of a US plane flying out of Kabul and are seen falling to their death in one of the multiple videos showing insane attempts by Afghans to escape Taliban rule. A video of stowaways looking like dots dropping from the plane was shared by many, including Tariq Majidi of TOLO News, who wrote: “Three Kabul residents who were trying to leave the country by hiding next to the tire or wing of an American plane, fell on the rooftop of local people. They lost their lives due to the terrible conditions in...

For the past seventeen months, my family and I have purposefully and strategically declined to live our lives in fear. Instead, we have lived overwhelmingly normal lives, largely ignoring the milder but still ridiculous and unnecessary COVID restrictions and mandates imposed here in eastern Tennessee. We have traveled, flown twice, visited with family and friends, and haven’t hesitated to go anywhere in public that seemed fun to us at the time, from bowling alleys to jam-packed restaurants and bars. Our view is that God (or fate, if that’s your thing) will determine whether or not we get COVID-19, that highly...

In August 718, the imperial city threw back the previously unstoppable Islamic jihadis. This week in history, a large fleet transporting tens of thousands of jihadists across the Sea of Marmara was either drowned in a vicious sea-storm or engulfed in flames from a volcanic eruption. One year earlier, in August 717, these selfsame jihadists were part of one of the largest (200,000 fighters) and most confident Islamic armies ever to invade and seek to conquer Constantinople, the capital of Eastern Christendom. Although the caliphs had conquered thousands of square miles of Christian territory -- from Syria in the east...

At least three people were killed by gunfire Monday morning in chaotic scenes at the passenger terminal of Kabul’s international airport, where thousands of Afghans who fear for their lives after the Taliban takeover of the country converged in hopes of getting on an evacuation flight as the insurgents consolidate their control over the capital. Witnesses reported seeing the prone, bloodied bodies lying on the ground just outside the terminal building. The U.S. military took over security of the airport to facilitate a massive airlift of foreign diplomats and citizens after the Afghan government collapsed on Sunday. Those evacuation flights...

The attacks on, and the maligning of, conservatives or those who advance narratives not favored by the Left has reached unimaginable proportions. The assault on conservative Americans began several decades ago with attacks on traditional principles and values. Belief in individual liberty and responsibility, free enterprise, and the rule of law was willfully conflated with “right-wing extremism.” Pride in America, a desire to protect our borders, and opposition to illegal immigration was branded as xenophobic. Championing the constitutional right to bear arms was decried as gun-crazed zealotry. Belief in religion, natural law, and the sanctity of human life was maligned...
