SARASOTA, Fla. - On an otherwise unremarkable Tuesday morning, President George W. Bush was in Florida to discuss education initiatives at an elementary school. But that visit was interrupted by the worst terror attack on American soil. Bush had spent the night in Sarasota after holding a leadership forum with his brother Jeb, who was the governor of Florida at the time, and several other state officials in Jacksonville.

Pray For the Peace of JerusalemPROVERBS 10Proverbs of Solomon 10 The proverbs of Solomon: A wise son brings joy to his father, but a foolish son brings grief to his mother. 2 Ill-gotten treasures have no lasting value, but righteousness delivers from death. 3 The Lord does not let the righteous go hungry, but he thwarts the craving of the wicked. 4 Lazy hands make for poverty, but diligent hands bring wealth. 5 He who gathers crops in summer is a prudent son, but he who sleeps during harvest is a disgraceful son. 6 Blessings crown the head of the...

Prince Andrew, the Duke of York, has returned to Balmoral as attempts to serve him legal papers over sex allegations continue. The Duke, 61, who has not been seen in public for several weeks, travelled 500 miles from his home in Windsor to the Queen’s Scottish estate on Tuesday. Britain's Prince Andrew sued over alleged sex abuse... Efforts began last month to present him with a copy of a civil lawsuit in which Virginia Roberts Giuffre alleges rape “in the first degree” and sexual assault. All of which the Duke denies. He has so far avoided repeated attempts to hand...

House Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-S.C.) said late Wednesday that $3.5 trillion may not be needed to achieve President Biden’s priorities, as Democrats continue to debate the price tag of their reconciliation spending plan. “I think that there is a lot of room for people to sit down and negotiate. It may be, when you're sitting around the table, you may not need 3.5 trillion to do what the president wants done and what the current country needs done,” Clyburn told guest host Jim Acosta on CNN’s “The Situation Room.” Clyburn’s comments come as Democrats have been engaged in an...

In 1961 an Australian doctor, William McBride, wrote to the Lancet about a significant rise in the number of babies born with serious deformities at his hospital, noting that all the mothers had taken a recently developed anti-morning sickness drug. Thalidomide was withdrawn later the same year. The only good thing about the subsequent scandal was the speed with which the authorities moved. Even so, an estimated 10,000 babies worldwide suffered severe birth defects; a similar number died in utero. The timely actions of medical regulators saved countless more. We’re in the middle of another medical disaster that rivals —...

Angry white liberals assaulted Republican candidate Larry Elder in California yesterday. The leftists hurled eggs at Elder during his campaigning today. The leftists beat his aide in the street! One woman in a monkey mask hit the man. Video below: Twitter Linkhe Dems tend to forget the history as it exposes them as racists and we decided to take a look 65 years back in the past just to find the same energy in a different era! Here are the Democrats back on September 23, 1957: Here are the Democrats on September 8, 2021: History, busting a rhyme! Images below:...

Twenty Years of Disunity While after 9/11 we were told to “Never Forget,” our ruling class has thrived mostly because of our forgetfulness of their failures before and after the attack.The last time the country was truly unified was in the days and weeks after the 9/11 attacks. On the day of the attack, there was none of the looting or other disorders that have since become routine in times of crisis. Instead, in their grief, many Americans donated blood and money and other resources to help the rescue operation underway at the World Trade Center. While there was some...

COVID-19 “vaccines” are killing and destroying the lives of many teens. This is the true “pandemic” facing our society now, as we are seeing a record number of injuries and deaths in people so young, and previously healthy, after taking one of the COVID-19 shots.The FDA and CDC’s own statistics in their Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) database actually implicate them in their crimes against humanity, and yet most people are still sleeping and deluded by the Big Pharma-funded corporate media which continues to lie to the American people on a daily basis.Here are the current stats of injuries...

With Governor Gavin Newsom’s recall looming in less than a week, this is America’s chance to send a message to Washington DC and the rest of the country that common sense is making a comeback. When Howard Cosell the late sportscaster and native Californian appeared on the 1970s sitcom The Odd Couple, he called the Felix Unger character (played by the late great Tony Randall) an “inane drone.” A drone is a worker bee that, in its mindlessness, works tirelessly for the Queen and the Hive without any thought. To borrower from Mr. Cosell, if Californians don’t vote to recall...

It isn’t hard to make the case against vaccine passports: Requiring proof of vaccination is unnecessarily burdensome to business and a violation of individual privacy. It is also suspiciously similar to Communist China’s social-credit system. No sane person wants to live in a sci-fi world where you have to offer biomedical information to drink a coffee or enter a church. Amusingly enough, liberals, the people most likely to support vaccine passports, have long made contradictory arguments. For years, we have heard Democrats insist that asking voters to present identification is a fundamental violation of civil rights, tantamount to Jim Crow....

“He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot” (Proverbs 9:7).

As the Democrat media continue to push all Americans to become vaccinated, there remain some eighty-five million who have yet to take the shot. Many of the unvaccinated, according to a recent ABC News poll, distrust "the vaccines' safety and effectiveness." Yet distrust does not begin and end with vaccines. Instead, the distrust in vaccines is a direct result of distrust in the Democrat media. Following years of Democrat media disinformation, thoughtful Americans have become skeptical of mainstream news. Democrat media portrayals of police brutality, Russian collusion, and election integrity are just a few examples of such disinformation. It is...

Former President Barack Obama appears in a new ad for incumbent Gov. Gavin Newsom (D), one that targets Larry Elder, a conservative talk show host who would likely be the state’s first black governor if the Sep. 14 recall election succeeds. Obama does not mention Elder by name. But it shows a photograph of Elder, together with former President Donald Trump, as Obama accuses Republicans of trying to “overturn common sense COVID safety measures for health care workers and school staff.”

Bret Weinstein is an evolutionary biologist. He's not against vaccines per se but is a skeptic of the ones for COVID. He's also a proponent of using ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine regimens for preventing and treating COVID. For that, YouTube demonetized his broadcasts. From that vantage point, Weinstein has an interesting take on how game theory applies to public health in the time of a pandemic such as we're in now. It goes something like this. During a viral pandemic, the public health authorities may conclude that the best policy is to vaccinate as large a percentage of the population as...

“Summer’s lease hath all too short a date.” – William ShakespeareShe packs her things quietly. Despite having strewn little hints and clues of her intent throughout the long hot days and nights she catches you off guard when you see her astride the window, awaiting a strong wind to carry her aloft for points south. And while it feels like betrayal it is simply the fulfillment of her promise: to nurture, warm and fortify you well enough for what lies ahead. So you can thrive while she’s gone and endure well enough until such time as she returns with all...

With apologies to New Order, this is a bizarre “love” triangle. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said he and the rest of the chamber’s Republicans have “lots of love” for a pair of Democrats — Sens. Joe Manchin (D-W.V.) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.). That’s because the pair of moderates have pushed back on their fellow Democrats’ plans to push through Congress President Biden’s $3.5 trillion social spending package. “It’s called a reconciliation process that can be done with a simple majority, but [for] a simple majority of the Senate, you’ve got to get every single Democrat, plus the Vice...

Charles Spurgeon, the great British preacher, once talked about how, when a jeweler is going to show diamonds, he puts the diamonds on black velvet. The contrast of the diamonds with the black velvet brings out the luster of the jewels. Whenever God is going to do something, he picks the most impossible, improbable situations because then, when he’s done, everyone says, “Oh, how great is our God!” As Spurgeon wrote in his sermon A Wafer of Honey, “Our infirmities become the black velvet on which the diamond of God’s love glitters all the more brightly.” For us to be...

One thing we know for sure from the COVID-19 pandemic is that it has had and continues to have a lasting impact globally, as well as on the U.S. economy and job market. Despite over 18 months of hardship, the stock markets have miraculously continued to move upward, indicating a renewed confidence in our economic recovery by investors both domestic and abroad. In other words, people not only want to see America win but they also believe that America can win. In fact, the markets have hit record highs, surging 100% from where they were at the start of the...
