By now, every witting person on earth knows the credibility of the United States has been disasterously damaged by events in Afghanistan. Thousands of American civilians are stranded and being held hostage by radical Islamic terrorists. Tens of thousands of brave Afghan allies are being hunted down and brutally murdered. resident Joe Biden is singularly responsible for this catastrophe. His incoherent press conference on Friday, Aug. 20 was a frightening example of the alternative reality Biden inhabits. He claimed the U.S. went to Afghanistan to destroy al-Qaida, and has done so. Yet less than an hour later, a Pentagon spokesman...

In obtaining a real ID and reviewing the list of valid documents to prove citizenry and place of residence, I found it rather telling that a ballot is not considered proof of anything. It is also interesting that my selective service papers are not considered proof of citizenship. Who else would be registered for the draft other than a citizen?

A document that the group’s founder Catherine Engelbrecht circulated to prospective donors, obtained by Breitbart News, details several facets of the investigation—which centers on what the group describes as the collection of cell phone GPS ping data in key election hotspots around the country including Georgia, Arizona, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Michigan. The document says that True The Vote has spent the last several months since late last year collecting more than 27 terabytes of geospatial and temporal data—a total of 10 trillion cell phone pings—between Oct. 1 and Nov. 6 in targeted areas in Georgia, Arizona, Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and...

Feds Lower Expectations for January 6 Probe It’s clear the Justice Department won’t be able to prove its case; last week’s revelation is just the start of walking back their tough talk. The FBI continues to hunt down Americans even for minor involvement in the breach of the Capitol on January 6. Four Ohio residents were arrested last week and charged with common misdemeanors. It appears the group was inside the building for about 15 minutes and committed no violent crimes.It’s the latest example of the absurdity of the Capitol breach probe; rather than pursue the handful of violent offenders,...

I would be lying if I said this week has been easy. As a veteran, I dread turning on the TV or looking at social media to be reminded of the tragic ending of America’s role in Afghanistan. My husband, who still serves today, was shot in Afghanistan by the Taliban in 2014. We had friends killed in action and one of my husband’s interpreters, KK, was shot in the head after the Taliban discovered he was helping US forces. I know I am not alone in how I feel because I have received thousands of messages, comments, and texts...

Question the Narrative of the Ruling Party If the bipartisan ruling elite has the truth and facts on their side, why do they resort to censorship and threats of prosecution?If nothing else, the entire Afghanistan debacle playing out in real-time has shown that the administration of Joe Biden and his band of misfit wokesters is a joke. Except this joke isn’t funny.This incompetent regime couldn’t execute a war and withdrawal against real terrorists in Afghanistan, handing over billions of dollars in weapons to them. But it thinks that people who question arbitrary mask mandates, potential vaccine passports, and have legitimate...

Social Security reports nearly 400,000 more beneficiary deaths in 2020 than 2019 © Getty Images Last week, for the first time, the Social Security Administration (SSA) released information on the number of beneficiaries who died in 2020, the year the COVID-19 pandemic began. There were nearly 400,000 more beneficiary deaths in 2020 than the agency tabulated for 2019, representing a 17 percent year-over-year increase. Double-digit percentage increases, year-over-year, were found for all beneficiary groups including retirees, spouses, widows, and the disabled. SSA’s statistics almost certainly reflect the concentration of COVID-19 deaths among the populations the agency serves. The CDC's death...

Keeping Fear AliveReluctant to set the public free, policymakers and the public-health bureaucracy set unachievable and unnecessary goals.Throughout the pandemic, American political and public-health leaders have been following Rahm Emanuel’s classic dictum for power-seeking officials: “You never want a serious crisis to go to waste.” Now they’ve adopted a corollary: you never want a crisis to end.So they are prolonging the national misery instead of easing it, which could be done with a few simple strategies. Explain to the public that the virus will never disappear but is no longer a mortal threat to the vast majority of Americans. Encourage...

Source: Unsplash/Avi WaxmanThe housing market is hot, hot, hot right now, and home prices continue to soar in many markets to their highest prices ever. Since it doesn't cost a real estate agent ten times as much to sell a million dollar home than a $100,000 home, one would expect that the percentage fees for real estate agents would be falling. They aren't. Why? I started investigating the fees charged by the real estate industry some 15 years ago when I was an economics writer for the Wall Street Journal. What I discovered is that the real estate agents had...

Pray For the Peace of JerusalemPsalm 144 Of David. 1 Praise be to the Lord my Rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle. 2 He is my loving God and my fortress, my stronghold and my deliverer, my shield, in whom I take refuge, who subdues peoples[a] under me. 3 Lord, what are human beings that you care for them, mere mortals that you think of them? 4 They are like a breath; their days are like a fleeting shadow. 5 Part your heavens, Lord, and come down; touch the mountains, so that they smoke. 6...

Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid says the Taliban are no longer allowing Afghan nationals to go to Kabul airport because of the chaotic situation there. At a news conference, he said crowds at the airport should go home and their security would be guaranteed. But he said the US had kept on inviting people to the airport to board planes. "We ask the Americans," he said. "Don't encourage Afghans to leave... We need their talent." He added that Afghan media outlets were now working again, as were hospitals, schools, university and local government.

Beloved in Jesus; we are to be believers in Jesus Christ first and Americans second; for in doing the first, we will fulfill the second rightly in time! When this Divine order is kept in Almighty God's will, America will prosper physically, mentally, and spiritually as NEVER before! I personally believe that our nation was not spared in 2016 to "Make America Great Again" by obtaining and keeping our national sovereignty, economic growth, and prosperity; but for Almighty God's people to diligently and prayerfully get out Almighty God's saving message to all of Adam's race before the coming Day of...

President Biden welcomed members of professional women’s basketball team the Seattle Storm to the White House on Monday to celebrate their 2020 championship, recognizing them for inspiring women and girls and engaging in advocacy work off the court. Biden noted that three of the Storm’s players — Sue Bird, Jewell Loyd and Breanna Stewart — also represented the U.S. in Tokyo this year as members of the Olympic team. After marveling at the team’s work last season, he recognized the players for undertaking efforts to encourage vaccines, advocate for racial justice and voting rights, and protect transgender people. And just...

Hawaii Governor David Ige encouraged potential tourists not to visit the islands amid a surge of coronavirus cases, saying it is "a risky time to be traveling right now." "I encourage everyone to restrict and curtail travel to Hawaii," Ige said during a press conference on Monday. "It's not a good time to travel to the islands." Ige said that travel should be limited to "essential business activities only." Visitors, he said, will not have the "typical" vacation that they would expect, as restaurant capacity has been restricted and rental vehicles are limited. Ige's warning comes as Hawaii continues to...

I refuse to do business with any enterprise that mandates the covid vaccine for its employees.I refuse to be part of any sort of coercive scheme that holds a family’s livelihood hostage in order to take away a worker’s right to make her own healthcare decisions.I won’t be partner to that.And I don’t trust that a business which so disrespects its employees is going to have any respect for its customers.So I’m keeping my money and my patronage where they respect human dignity and freedom, and where they respect their employees’ right to decide what to or what not to...

Vietnam’s largest metropolis, Ho Chi Minh City, has begun a tightened lockdown to battle the coronavirus -- HANOI, Vietnam -- Vietnam’s largest metropolis, Ho Chi Minh City, went into a tightened lockdown Monday to battle its worst outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, just a day ahead of the arrival of U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris on a state visit. The city has mobilized police and army troops to enforce the lockdown and to deliver food as well as necessities to each household, city authorities announced. Under the stricter measures imposed for at least two weeks, people in “high risk” districts...
