It's been quite a week. I've been in the media business for decades and I've never before witnessed such lies, exaggeration and outright fraud. All with the intent to force everyone to be vaccinated. The question is why? Let's start with the vaccine itself. The results in Israel prove what a sham, charade and fraud this all is. The U.S. government and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention argue that the vaccine is our only chance to survive. And that people are hospitalized and dying with COVID-19 because they are unvaccinated. Both arguments are pure fraud. First, are you aware...

Sometimes it is difficult to know whether or not Joe Biden is senile or just dumb. I know it’s tempting to ascribe everything he does to his dementia, but he’s been stupid for his whole life. Even people suffering from dementia have moments of lucidity, so it’s really impossible to know what is the true motivation behind the President’s asininity. The effects and the facts of it, however, are easy and important to dissect, because whether it’s due to him losing his grip on reality, that he’s just a very simple and dumb man, or a combination of both doesn’t...

Stock investors might need to look out below. An esoteric financial markets indicator just registered a warning signal that historically augured in double-digit falls in the S&P 500, the index tracked by the SPDR S&P 500 (SPY) exchange-traded fund. The metric in question is the Marshallian K., which measures the liquidity in the economy. Recently, the liquidity started contracting... “[T]he Marshallian K. now shows liquidity not only deteriorating but actually contracting,” states a recent report from financial company Leuthold Group. That conclusion might surprise many people who look at the Federal Reserve’s money-printing program, which started during the financial crisis...

WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — The Islamic State-inspired extremist who attacked shoppers in a New Zealand supermarket had been fighting deportation for immigration fraud, leaving the nation’s leader expressing frustration at the process. The new details about the attack Friday in Auckland emerged as the condition of some of those injured in his attack improved. Three critically injured patients remain in intensive care but are in stable condition, Director-General of Health Ashley Bloomfield said Sunday. Police added that the condition of one of the critically injured patients had improved. Bloomfield said a fourth person still hospitalized is in stable condition,...

Corrupt. Incompetent. Pathological. Criminal. Treasonous. Those are just a few of the (printable) adjectives that aptly describe the illegitimate gang of idiots currently running our country. Joe Biden, the so-called president, is nothing more than a marionette controlled by a gaggle of career bureaucrats and academics, none of whom has ever contributed anything substantial to our once vibrant society. Indeed, they are nothing more than destroyers, power-mad ideologues who use a demented old grifter as a mouthpiece while they dismantle, piece by piece, our once great Republic. Globalism is their ultimate goal, and the nightmare we're experiencing brings us ever...

Facebook issued an apology on behalf of its artificial intelligence software that asked users watching a video featuring Black men if they wanted to see more "videos about primates." The social media giant has since disabled the topic recommendation feature and says it's investigating the cause of the error, but the video had been online for more than a year. A Facebook spokesperson told The New York Times on Friday, which first reported on the story, that the automated prompt was an "unacceptable error" and apologized to anyone who came across the offensive suggestion. The video, uploaded by the Daily...

HUNDREDS of fighters are reported to have died in bloody battles between the "Lion of Panjshir" resistance fighters and the Taliban as the terrorists attacked last free stronghold in Afghanistan. Heavy fighting has been reported around the Panjshir Valley - an area just 80 miles north of Kabul that is regarded as an impenetrable natural fortress. Casualty numbers remain uncertain on both sides - but it has been reported that the death toll is now in the hundreds as the bloodshed continues. Resistance forces - officially titled the National Resistance Front (NRF) - have vowed to never surrender and fight...

No person has a natural or a divine right to rule over another person unless the latter person gives intelligent consent. This is a fundamental axiom of our American government. The axiom takes root in the ideas expressed by Thomas Jefferson in the Declaration of Independence: "We hold these truths to be self-evident: That all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; that, to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the...

Ordered to do so, a soldier charges through a hail of bullets toward his objective. Instinctively a soldier falls on a live grenade and his life is snuffed out. Folks at home honor these soldiers, as they should. Why? What is going on here? The answer is found in one word: trust. The soldier trusts that the order is meant to prevent a greater harm. He trusts the system. He is willing to bet his life on this trust. The hero who sacrifices his life to save his buddies has infinite trust that this is necessary. Those who honor this...

Senior military figures said any move to offer the Taliban support would be strongly resisted by defence chiefs. It is understood that any potential training would take place outside Afghanistan A plan for British Special Forces to train the Taliban in counter-terrorism tactics to stop Afghanistan becoming a breeding ground for extremism has come under fire. Intelligence sources say it has been suggested training teams could be made to work with Taliban forces as part of a future Foreign Aid deal... ...But senior military figures said any move to offer the Taliban support would be catastrophic and strongly resisted by...

As the pollsters across the board show resident Biden’s support tanking rapidly (even among those whose polls regularly overweight Democrat support), the major media are having a hard time burying the story of administrative incoherence and stupidity and the consequences here and abroad. The man who as a candidate promised to repair our international alliances has dealt NATO a significant if not fatal blow. The rush to bug out of Afghanistan left hundreds, probably thousands of persons who were citizens, green card holders, and allies behind. And our NATO allies have not been able to extract all their people either....

Between 1936 and 1938, Stalin’s infamous secret police agency, the NKVD, waged a ruthless campaign of terror against high-ranking Communist Party officials and ordinary citizens alike. Estimates of the death toll vary, but History.com points out that at least 750,000 people were executed during the Great Purge (also known as the Great Terror). Millions more were detained in the Gulag, a vast system of forced labor and prison camps. At the site in Odessa, Stalin’s enforcers “dug out pits in the garbage and threw these people in or shot them dead as they were standing there,” archaeologist Tetyana Samoylova tells...

Elitist School Boards have implemented policies and curricula that go against parent values and wishes, like mask mandates and CRT. This has lead to hotly contested meetings because parents are fed up with being ignored. But now parents have a weapon of their own to take back control!

On September 1, the Iranian regime's propaganda machine, on the ‎anniversary of the formation of its air defense force, announced another ‎new achievement in its military industry and unveiled two new products, ‎the so-called Borhan Air defense system, and the Alborz 3D radar.‎ The Iranian regime claims that the Alborz radar system can ‎simultaneously intercept 300 targets within 450 km and the Borhan ‎analysis system, after analyzing the information obtained, transmits the ‎information to the command center in the shortest time so that the ‎decision to destroy the target can be made.‎ But what is the reality? ‎ In fact,...

The Gospels do not simply tell us stories of people who lived thousands of years ago; they tell us our story, and this Sunday’s Gospel is no different. We encounter a deaf man with a speech impediment living in a pagan land; this man represents each of us. If you are prepared to accept it, you are also Jesus, for His story and His work are largely yours as well.Let’s look at today’s Gospel, remembering that it is our story.I. The PLACE of the Gospel. The text says that Jesus went into the Decapolis region. This was an area of...

alifornia Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom enlisted progressive star Elizabeth Warren on Saturday to help him overcome a looming recall election that could remove him from office, warning that his ouster carries possible consequences for the national Democratic agenda on climate change, immigration and reproductive rights. On a crystalline summer morning, the Massachusetts senator and former presidential candidate joined the embattled governor for an outdoor rally at a suburban Los Angeles high school in the state´s populous Democratic heartland, where polls show left-leaning Latino and younger voters have been slow to turn in their mail ballots for the contest that culminates...

Dear Diary: A T-bone steak was riding the uptown 1 train on the evening of July 5. I noticed this oddity when I boarded at 34th Street. The steak sat alone at the end of a row of orange seats: fresh, bright red and grocery-wrapped in plastic on a white, plastic foam tray. Passengers were fully distancing themselves, almost shunning this conspicuous item. (It looked fine, actually.) I broke the ice. “Look, a T-bone.” --snip--
