Incredible to see this kind of response from a black person about Biden's speech. Wow. See here: Click here for rant.

The New York Times obtained exclusive security camera footage and witness accounts to show how the U.S. military launched a drone strike that killed 10 people in Kabul on Aug. 29 without knowing who it was hitting. Read the story here: https://nyti.ms/39cEdzn

On Thursday, "President" Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr. broke another of his promises by requiring vaccine mandates on most, but not all, American citizens. The next day, Fox News aired a terrific seven-minute segment by Lara Logan titled "Mandate Nation," and it's really worth watching (see below). Ms. Logan began the show reporting on new directives to OSHA not to report on COVID vaccine side-effects. She then segued into recent reports from the U.K. and Israel that report on serious problems with the vaccines. One feature of the segment that conservatives will appreciate is the montages from other channels, like MSNBC...

When a government is flush with power, it feels safe admitting what people suspected all along. COVID-19 is here to stay. That being the case, it would make sense to focus on treatment options as well as on vaccines. However, treatment options do not empower governments, and repurposing old drugs do not enrich pharmaceutical companies. Perhaps that’s why the Australian fedral government has banned doctors from prescribing Ivermectin, which appears to be a useful treatment when given early enough to someone with COVID. What’s become extremely clear in the past few months is that “vaccines” do not eradicate the disease...

Years ago my young son demonstrated against the war in Iraq. At the time my wife and I were horrified. We are both veterans and patriots. One of my sons is a veteran of those 9-11 conflicts. But as time has passed and I have become more informed it seems my young son had the right idea. President Bush instigated a war in Iraq under false pretenses that killed and maimed many, many people on both sides. I don't know how he can sleep at night. So yesterday I see him speaking in Shanksville. He had some good things to...

Americans are learning and relearning many lessons from the coronavirus pandemic. One is the importance of allowing drug companies to innovate. In the United States, where the federal government encouraged pharmaceutical innovation, three companies came up with effective vaccines within a few months. Contrast that with China, where the government controls everything (especially prices). China also produced vaccines; but they don’t work very well. If you doubt me, just ask people in Thailand and Indonesia, which stopped using Chinese vaccines this summer. It’s not simply COVID-19 at issue, though. It’s prescription drugs in general. Lawmakers in the House and Senate...

In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate,” a terrorist declares on the Flight 93 cockpit recording. That’s followed by the sounds of the terrorists assaulting a passenger. “Please don’t hurt me,” he pleads. “Oh God.” As the passengers rush the cabin, a Muslim terrorist proclaims, “In the name of Allah.” As New York firefighters struggle up the South Tower with 100 pounds of equipment on their backs trying to save lives until the very last moment, the Flight 93 passengers push toward the cockpit. The Islamic hijackers call out, “Allahu Akbar.” Mohammed Atta had advised his...

From an urban memorial to a remote field to the heart of of the nation’s military might, President Joe Biden on Saturday paid tribute at three hallowed places of grief and remembrance to honor the lives lost two decades ago in the 9/11 terror attacks. Biden didn’t deliver remarks at any of the sites. He released a video on Friday to express his condolences to the loved ones of the victims and highlight the national unity that resulted, at least initially, after 9/11. Even Trump questioned his decision to stay silent during the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. Video...

The British government will not mandate vaccine passports for nightclubs, cinemas, and other large public venues in England after all, Health Secretary Sajid Javid announced on Sunday. Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s government has backtracked on controversial plans to introduce vaccine passports domestically and is set to end draconian emergency powers given to the state under the Coronavirus Act, in a major concession to anti-lockdown factions within the Conservative Party. Appearing on the BBC’s Andrew Marr programme on Sunday, Health Secretary Sajid Javid said in reference to vaccine passports: “I’m pleased to say we will not be going ahead with plans.”...

Does anyone really think 19 Saudis (or Taliban members today) would want to attack or destroy America because it was a largely heterosexual society? Dr. Jenn Jackson is a professor of political science at Syracuse University. Dr. Jackson’s website biography reads, "Jenn M. Jackson (they/them) is a queer genderflux androgynous Black woman, an abolitionist, a lover of all Black people, and an Assistant Professor at Syracuse University in the Department of Political Science." (A genderflux androgynous woman?!) Why do I mention…er…um…them? Because Jackson published a series of tweets on Friday, September 10th, in which she they made preposterous claims about...

Summer is winding down, and while students and teachers may be ready to resume classroom sessions, the school buildings themselves may not be prepared. And it has nothing to do with COVID. Throughout the country, schools are suffering from aging infrastructure, especially when it comes to water pipelines. Cities like Flint, Michigan, and Newark, New Jersey, are well aware that lead made their drinking water toxic. But this problem isn’t limited to those two cities. A recent study conducted by the Pittsburgh-based health advocacy nonprofit Women for a Healthy Environment found 91 percent of Pennsylvania schools that tested their drinking...

For years, I have heard that the only constants in this life are death and taxes, but I suspect this is not true. I think there’s at least one other constant, at least in my life — the Garcon Point Bridge. I have been writing about this Panhandle boondoggle for more than 20 years. Every time I’ve written a story about it, I have been convinced that that would be the last. Then something else happened that made me shake my head and start writing another bridge story. I’ve gotten more mileage out of that bridge than the motorists who...

“A thorough review of the historical records provides startling indications that much, if not all, of what we know about Muhammad is legend, not historical fact,” writes Robert Spencer in his new edition of Did Muhammad Exist? An Inquiry into Islam’s Obscure Origins. Therein this bestselling author, scholar, and world-renowned “Islamophobe” details numerous factual, fatal objections to the received faith-based narrative of Islam’s founding by a prophet named Muhammad. Spencer surveys the historical record of various of various societies like the Byzantine Empire that bore the brunt of Arab invasions in the Middle East and North Africa following Muhammad’s supposed...

Long before she was tall enough to sit behind a steering wheel, Paula Nelson-Blattner was experiencing the best and the worst of the Howard Frankland Bridge. “As a kid, I was always nervously asking my parents, ‘Did you check your gas?’” said Nelson-Blattner, 52, who got the creeps crossing the concrete span, perched as it is atop golf-tee shaped pillars as far as 58 feet above the waters of Old Tampa Bay. “Of course, once you’re close enough to read the warnings, not a gas station is in sight and it’s far too late to turn back.” The “check your...

Dear friends, in such EXPONENTIAL lawless and godless days here in America; along with America's fate hanging in the balance and the Day of the Lord at our doorstep; there is ETERNAL HOPE, GRACE, and LOVE for any who will call upon the Name of the Lord and be delivered from their personal transgressions against their ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Creator; and from Hell's ETERNAL separation from Him (Matt. 6:33; 7:13-14; John 1:12; 3:16-17; 36; 11:25-26; Acts 4:12; 16:30-34; Eph. 2:8-9; 1 John 5:13; Rev. 20:10-15; 22:11)! Dear friend, Jesus is the Last Adam for Adam's fallen race and for you (1...

Source: James Tourtellotte, U.S. Customs and Border ProtectionTomorrow will be 20 years since the discovery of what we call the “World Trade Center Cross” found amidst buried bodies and tons of toxic, smoking rubble. Back on Sept. 10, 2012 — the day before the 11th anniversary of 9/11 — I wrote a piece on PJ Media (before it was a Salem-owned sister-site to Townhall) headlined “Atheist Lawsuit Against World Trade Center Cross Makes Me Want to Scream.” Praise the Lord that the atheists lost their inappropriate and insensitive lawsuit two months after the May 2014 public opening of the 9/11...

Started to get a bad feeling about the recall and figured I’d place an emotional hedge bet for Newsom that I’d be thrilled to lose. The betting odds are now so heavily in his favor that’s it’s not even worth it. A $10 bet for 40c in winnings. I only bet a literal few bucks at a time in sports whenever I’m watching with family, so I’d have to bet my entire modest bankroll for nearly $6. I thought instead about placing my money on Elder, which is paying about 10 to 1. Then, I checked Trafalgar, the pollster I...

Do YOU have a personal relationship to the Lord Jesus Christ in Spirit and in Truth as the Bible clearly teaches (John 4:24)? If not, be sure to challenge yourself, see for yourself and then place your trust in Jesus today. It is absolutely crucial for you to have Jesus' RIGHTEOUS PROPITIATION for your ETERNAL well-being (John 3:16-17, 1 John 4:10)! Dear friends, Jesus will deliver you from ALL of your transgressions against the ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS absolutes of Almighty God and the lawlessness of your fallen humanity and heart; and redeem you from sin's ETERNAL ruin (Rev. 20:11-5)! My friend,...
