Gov. Andrew Cuomo of New York got a special Emmy last year for his nauseating daily pandemic press conferences. So why shouldn’t President Biden win something this year from his Hollywood supporters for his series of wildly untrue Afghanistan speeches about the evacuation of Kabul? How about something like a special Oscar for “Best Performance by a Confused American President in a Reality TV Series”? Gov. Cuomo and his sickening ego had to step down, and his phony politically inspired award was revoked by the Emmy people because of the credible groping accusations by nearly a dozen young women who...

Traffic safety officials always say you shouldn’t drive while distracted. More specifically, you shouldn’t drive while talking to your friend on the phone, eating Taco Bell and holding a knife. Unfortunately, a 39-year-old Omaha man did that Thursday and inadvertently stabbed himself in the leg. The man had picked up some food at the Taco Bell near 38th and Dodge Streets just before 2 a.m. Thursday and was on his way to give some to his girlfriend, according to a police report. As he was eating and driving, he later told police, he was talking to a friend via Bluetooth...

What people call “ballot traffickers” are actually ballot “mules.” ...The next war will not come from foreign soil, it is about to happen based on a great awakening in the heavily corrupt and manipulated voting system in the United States. The battle is about to happen right here on our soil... BIG PICTURE – United States Attorney General Merrick Garland is pre-positioning assets from the DOJ and FBI [LINK]. Simultaneous to this, the U.S. military leadership is purging patriots and putting all service members under surveillance.

Joe Biden traveled to Louisiana on Friday to survey the damage caused by Hurricane Ida. Biden delivered remarks on the destruction by Ida in 100-degree heat and humidity in LaPlace, Louisiana Friday afternoon. It was obvious that Biden couldn’t handle the heat or had another brain freeze during his speech. Video below: Twittere LinkWhat Biden also didn’t understand, however, is where he was supposed to go and what he was supposed to do after the speaking event. “This way, sir,” a staffer tries to direct him. Biden completely disregards him and continues to wander in the opposite direction. Biden turned...

In a statement issued on September 2, resident Biden called the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to leave a Texas pro-life law—that restricts abortion after an unborn child’s heartbeat is detected—in place “an unprecedented assault on women’s constitutional rights” and vowed to “launch a whole-of-government effort to respond to this decision.” Biden touted his own concern for women’s rights, saying the situation in Texas is an example of why he decided to create a Gender Policy Council “to be prepared to react to such assaults on women’s rights.” resident Biden can style himself as a champion of women’s rights all he...

Today’s post is an excerpt from #TransformationTuesday: Tadpole Edition, Originally posted 4-10-18Ever wonder what made America great? I think it was the fact the country was founded by people who possessed the three defining characteristics of the Age of Enlightenment.Reason:Skepticism: Individualism:Three characteristics that are pure anathema to oppressive authoritarian regimes.Sadly, I note, these are three characteristics growing rarer and hence more valuable with each subsequent generation of frogs.How to boil a frog: Place in cool water and gradually turn up the heat.If you don’t believe me, ask the Australians.Posted from: MOTUS A.D.

Even When Well Treated, HIV Is Linked to Advanced Aging Researchers analyzed 10 biomarkers associated with biological aging among a group of HIV-positive and -negative Europeans. People living with well-treated HIV may experience faster biological aging than their HIV-negative counterparts. Publishing their findings in the journal AIDS, researchers from the ComorBidity in Relation to AIDS (COBRA) study analyzed 134 people with HIV and 79 HIV-negative people with similar sociodemographic and lifestyle factors. The participants were recruited in Amsterdam (these were at least 45 years old) and London (these were at least 50 years old). All the HIV-positive individuals were on...

lyft Dear Lyft Riders and Drivers, A new Texas law, SB8, threatens to punish drivers for getting people where they need to go — specifically, women exercising their right to choose and to access the healthcare they need. We want to be clear: Drivers are never responsible for monitoring where their riders go or why. Imagine being a driver and not knowing if you are breaking the law by giving someone a ride. Similarly, riders never have to justify, or even share, where they are going and why. Imagine being a pregnant woman trying to get to a healthcare appointment...

The video, uploaded by UK tabloid the Daily Mail in June 2020, contained clips of two separate incidents in the US – one of a group of black men arguing with a white individual on a road in Connecticut, and one of several black men arguing with white police officers in Indiana before getting detained. According to The New York Times, Groves posted the screenshot in question to a product feedback forum for current and former Facebook employees. A product manager then called the recommendation “unacceptable” and promised to investigate the incident. Last year, Facebook formed a team at Instagram...

Homeschooling has greatly increased in the wake of the lockdowns imposed by pretend governments pretending to govern for the people who pretended to elect them. The argument by compliant citizens against the homeschooling of children goes something along the lines of, aren’t you afraid that your child won’t be socialised? The correct rejoinder is to declare that you don’t want your children to grow up into socialists. Although I have been writing about Australia’s totalitarian tendencies for some time, tendencies that stretch far back in the nation’s history, that awareness has finally jumped the shark to the world stage. John...

‘QAnon Shaman’ will likely serve over 3 years for Capitol riot role: report The “QAnon Shaman” — known for storming the US Capitol in a horned coyote-fur headdress and American-flag paint — pleaded guilty to an obstruction charge in federal court Friday and will serve at least 3 1/2 years in prison, according to a report. Jacob Chansley, 34, of Phoenix, copped to a count of obstruction of an official proceeding, one of six charges he faced for his role in the US Capitol riot on Jan.6, according to CBS News. Under federal guidelines, he’s expected to be sentenced to...

Pray For the Peace of JerusalemPROVERBS 5Warning Against Adultery 5 My son, pay attention to my wisdom, turn your ear to my words of insight, 2 that you may maintain discretion and your lips may preserve knowledge. 3 For the lips of the adulterous woman drip honey, and her speech is smoother than oil; 4 but in the end she is bitter as gall, sharp as a double-edged sword. 5 Her feet go down to death; her steps lead straight to the grave. 6 She gives no thought to the way of life; her paths wander aimlessly, but she does...

The world has witnessed Joe Biden finding his inner lying dog-faced pony soldier. It is an ugly display. Despite the horror, vainglory, rape, and pillage-to-be that Biden has inflicted on Afghanistan and the callous disdain he has heaped on our allies, American foot soldiers, and American people, he shows no empathy. He bellows angrily that the mission has been a huge success. Listening to his, Blinken’s, and Psaki’s nauseating press conferences, one would think that no Americans or Afghani partners were left behind and all our billions in equipment have been airlifted back to the United States. In their alternate...

Growing numbers of companies, banks, universities and investment houses are adopting Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) standards and disclosure rules. They’re pressured to do so by activists, legislators and regulators. Many expect to get rich via taxpayer-subsidized “renewable” energy projects. Nearly all hope to “greenwash” their reputations, by claiming they’ll “make the world a better place,” by reducing fossil fuel emissions, and thus planetary temperatures and extreme weather events. They recently got a boost from the US House of Representatives. It voted 215-214 party-line to pass a bill supporting Securities and Exchange Commission plans to impose new ESG rules requiring...

Praise Almighty God! Aunt Vera's journey home has ended, she is with our Lord!

These facts may completely reorient how you view both the virus itself and the government-leftist response to the virus. I learned two facts today, one about COVID’s survival rate and the other about eye-opening medical information hidden within the bowels of the CDC. Both surprised me and they may surprise many of you as well. Admittedly, I had my suspicions about the survivability of COVID and have known for a long time (courtesy of my Brazilian hairstylist) that Ivermectin is a good treatment provided people receive it early enough. SNIP Dr. John Ioannidis, the Stanford University “Professor of Medicine (Stanford...
