    Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi lectured American Secretary of State Antony Blinken in a phone call Monday for the allegedly “hasty” American withdrawal from Afghanistan and warned him not to seek help from Beijing on the issue while working to “contain and suppress China.” Wang’s alleged comments surfaced in the Global Times, a Chinese regime media outlet, and contrasted significantly to the brief description of the conversation published by the U.S. State Department. “Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken spoke today with PRC [China] State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi about developments in Afghanistan,” the State Department noted on...

    Canadian Dr. Charles Hoffe has administered 900 doses of the Moderna mRNA vaccine. After a number of these patients complained of persistent fatigue he decided to test for blood clots. He found that 62% of these vaccinated patients had microscopic blood clots. While these clots are not large enough to cause a immediate health danger, he is concerned that from a longer term perspective the vaccines might pose a serious risk. He speculates that "the vaccines stimulate the body to produce billions of spike proteins. The hope is that these will cue the body's immune system to develop antibodies to...

    I asked a clerk at Walmart if they had any female to female USB connectors. He look at kinda strange and left. About the time I was done looking he came back and said they didn't carry them. I thought in today's world he might have been confused by the sexists pronouns that everyone wants to avoid.

    Sun Tzu, the brilliant Chinese military strategist offered this strategic advice: Keep your friends close and your enemies closer. That advice has withstood the test of time and Joe Biden embraced it when he became president. Actually, Joe’s son Hunter made a wooden plaque in shop class that sits on Biden’s desk in the Oval Office. Unfortunately, the plaque reads: Love Close Friends and Enemies Keep Loving. Whoops. That’s not it Joe.Joe not only loves his enemies but blindly initiates all of their hair-brained ideas. All of those whacky, moronic left-wing ideas fall into Biden’s brain and drop out of...

    Hundreds of farmers who rely on the water from the irrigation district that channels water along the Rio Grande in central New Mexico face a second straight year of early cutoffs. The Middle Rio Grande Conservancy District board voted Friday to end deliveries for irrigation a month early because of low water availability. The Oct. 1 shutoff means winter crops like those grown by Travis Harris just north of Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge about 90 miles (144 kilometers) south of Albuquerque are at risk. “This is my livelihood,” Harris told the Albuquerque Journal. “This is how I live...

    As COVID-19 cases rise in Mississippi, the state’s Department of Health on Friday sent out an alert warning those who test positive for COVID-19 to isolate for 10 days or face up to 5 years in prison and a fine of up to $5,000.Fox News reported that the order issued Friday by State Health Officer Dr. Thomas Dobbs said that those “infected with COVID-19 must remain in the home or other appropriate residential location for 10 days from onset of illness.”Dobbs added that people isolating due to a positive COVID-19 test don’t need a negative test to end their quarantine,...
  • Massive veterans group uses intel, satellite images to direct Afghan interpreters around Taliban checkpoints

    A network of "hundreds of thousands" of people, including analysts using satellite imagery to locate Taliban checkpoints surrounding the Kabul airport, are coordinating to evacuate Afghan interpreters from the country, an Afghanistan war veteran and member of the coalition told Fox News. These interpreters, now targeted by the Taliban, were essential U.S. allies during the Afghanistan war and played roles much larger than simply acting as translators, according to Matt Zeller. The Biden administration has faced fierce criticism that the U.S. hasn’t made their evacuation more of a priority. "These people that we’re talking about … they were our eyes...

    Outdoor outfitter Patagonia will stop supplying Jackson Hole Mountain Resort (JHMR) with inventory following one of the resort’s owners hosting a fundraiser for the right-wing House Freedom Caucus. According to local, nonprofit news outlet WyoFile, Jay Kemmerer, one of JHMRs owners, hosted the fundraiser, which took place August 5. Several high-profile Republicans headlined the event, including President Trump’s former Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), and Rep. Majorie Taylor Greene (R-GA). Admission to the fundraiser cost a minimum $2000 per couple. The event reportedly attracted protestors outside the venue.

    Joe Biden surrendered to the Taliban and now 10,000-20,000 Americans are trapped in the country behind enemy lines and unable to escape the country through the Kabul Airport Biden also left the Taliban terrorists 600,000 weapons, 75,000 vehicles and 200 aircraft. This is already shaping up to be the greatest humiliation in US history — just what the Democrats wanted.

    Hungary’s unofficial government newspaper Magyar Nemzet (Hungarian Nation) often floats issues that Prime Minister Viktor Orbán and his government would like to gauge public opinion on without addressing those issues themselves. Last weekend, it happened again. On Sunday (August 15), the paper opened debate on an issue that had previously been deemed off-limits even in Hungarian government circles: Hungary’s exit from the EU. “It is time to talk about Huxit” was the title of the Magyar Nemzet opinion piece. The news went off like a bomb in Hungary — with most larger media outlets reporting, opposition politicians up in arms...

    CHICAGO (CBS) — Chicago Police on Monday night were warning anyone walking downtown or in the South Loop to stay alert after a series of attacks and robberies. Investigators have linked those attacks and robberies to a group of teens. They have happened to people who have simply been walking down State Street and Michigan Avenue between Balbo Avenue and the Chicago River. And it does not matter if you are alone or in a group. Police said the youngsters are attacking and stealing from people at all hours. On State Street near Van Buren Street, a woman waiting for...

    Think of the red bluffs and cliffs of the Grand Canyon as Earth's history textbook, explained Barra Peak, lead author of the new study and a graduate student in geological sciences at CU Boulder. If you scale down the canyon's rock faces, you can jump back almost 2 billion years into the planet's past. But that textbook is also missing pages: In some areas, more than 1 billion years' worth of rocks have disappeared from the Grand Canyon without a trace. It's a mystery that goes back a long way. John Wesley Powell, the namesake of today's Lake Powell, first...

    Snipers rely on specialized training, accurized, high power rifles and quality optics to reliably hit targets that are often mere specks on the horizon.Here's What You Need to Remember: The technology does have a few downsides. If EXACTO {Extreme Accuracy Tasked Ordnance} does use a laser designator to mark a target that laser is visible under the right circumstances, alerting those being targeted. Even worse, the laser beam will point directly to the the person lasing the target. The system will also need a long-lasting power supply, as a sniper may need to wait for hours for the opportunity to...

    Dear friends; I truly liked President Trump's message last night and the phrase; Save America. It is absolutely amazing how far we have fallen since January under Red Biden and the woke godless demonic lawless Left; but remember friends, we as a nation were greatly falling before Donald Trump took office in 2016 and all President Trump was able to do for a moment was to slow it down a very very little in light of our EXPONENTIALLY imploding nation. We have to as Americans add that "EXPONENTIAL equation" into our perspective today as we look at our nation today;...
