Established a committee for. The new course applies to 9th grade students entering high school in the fall of 2025 and must eventually complete at least two semesters, or two five-credit ethnic studies. Although...

President Joe Biden has long pledged to “build back better” but in the last few months it has become clear that his transformative plans go beyond mere infrastructure and extend to our very structure of government. From abortions to elections to rents, Biden is seeking to federalize huge areas to displace state law. Not since John Adams and his Federalist Party has the country faced such a fundamental challenge to our system of federalism. Some of the claims made by Biden recently would make even Adams blush. What is most striking about these claims is that Biden and his aides...

It is getting excruciating is it not? Please, somebody with proper talent do a lampoon triptych with 3 images, (a) the ubiquitous file photo of JD with his bulldog scowl, next to (b) Fearless Fosdick, and (c) Pee Wee Herman. It's (past) time to hit this clown with a 2x4 and explode the myth. We have only ourselves, patsies that we are, to really blame.

Brian Laundrie’s sister says it was “typical” for her brother and his girlfriend Gabby Petito to fight and then take a break from each other. Cassie Laundrie broke her family’s silence on Petito’s mysterious disappearance in an interview with “Good Morning America” on Friday. Asked about the police bodycam footage of officers speaking to a sobbing Petito and Laundrie after they got into a fight in Utah on Aug. 12, Cassie said: “It looked typical of both of them. Whenever they’d fight they’d take a break and be fine.” Cassie admitted she hadn’t yet spoken to her brother after he...

"The start of the pandemic occurred while we saw fentanyl infiltrating the west coast," said Doctor, who co-directs the behavioral science program at the USC Schaeffer Center and is an associate professor at the Price School of Public Policy. "It was a challenging confluence of events which we are finding had devastating outcomes for some communities." The people who died were mostly white males residing in areas where a smaller share of the adult population has a bachelor's degree. "Our findings suggest that COVID-19 and the stay-at-home orders impacted opioid-related behaviors differently across communities. While fatal opioid-related overdoses increased overall...

The Minnesota Supreme Court on Thursday night ruled in favor of allowing an amendment to remain on the ballot that would replace the Minneapolis Police Department with a “Department of Public Safety.” The decision by the state’s highest court, which overturned a lower-court ruling, came the night before early and absentee voting is set to begin in the Minneapolis municipal elections. On Tuesday, a district judge rejected the language of the ballot question that would replace the Minneapolis Police Department with a new Department of Public Safety. The measure would remove Minneapolis’ charter’s requirement for minimum police staffing levels in...

Ronny Jackson, a retired Rear Admiral and former Obama physician, has called for Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Mark Milley to be arrested and prosecuted for “treason.” Jackson wrote on Twitter Thursday that Milley was “willing to put the lives of America’s sons & daughters in EXTREME RISK all to undermine Trump.” Jackson ended the tweet by calling Milley a traitor and calling for him to be immediately fired and prosecuted for treason. .. As Major General Paul E. Vallely, U.S. Army (Ret.) said on today’s MAGA Institute Podcast, treason isn’t applicable under the Constitution, as no state of war exists...

“This is not about freedom.” So said Joe Biden last week when announcing his order that would force vaccinations on more than 100 million Americans. It’s hard to imagine a more authoritarian-sounding statement from an American president. Biden’s hostility to freedom comes as no surprise. It fits into a pattern we’ve seen with him since Day One: an obsession with power and his belief the government should control every aspect of our lives. All Americans should be alarmed at the unprecedented act of federal overreach Biden is attempting. This egregious edict should never see the light of day. Even a...

Bill Maher ripped the liberal media for “scaring the s—” out of people by fearmongering during the pandemic. During his appearance on ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” this week, the 65-year-old “Real Time With Bill Maher” host cited a survey in The New York Times — “which is a liberal paper so they weren’t looking for this answer,” Fox News reported. “The question was, ‘What do you think the chances are that you would have to go to the hospital if you got COVID?’ And Democrats thought that was, way higher than Republicans,” Maher said. “The answer is between 1 percent...

Fox News can no longer bring its viewers live voyeuristic footage of desperate people huddled under a bridge in Texas—and its hosts are mad. Late Thursday, the Federal Aviation Administration brought in a two-week flight restriction over Del Rio, which means that Fox News has to ground the drone it’s been using to show the scene at International Bridge between Del Rio and Mexico’s Ciudad Acuña. At least 10,000 migrants, largely from Haiti, have gathered at the bridge, and Reuters reports the people are low on food and water as temperatures hit 99 degrees Fahrenheit. The FAA said the flight...

A friend of Gabby Petito said the two were supposed to meet at Yellowstone National Park — but she never heard from the Long Island woman, who has since disappeared. Petito, 22, was due to meet up with her pal on Aug. 29 at Yellowstone and was supposed to call her that day — the friend’s birthday — to nail down the specifics, The Sun reported. But the friend never heard from Petito and is puzzled the Blue Point native would instead text her mom the next day that she was in Yosemite — 800 miles from her last known...

Walgreens will require all U.S. workers to be vaccinated.

Gen. Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, was so worried then-President Donald Trump might launch a surprise attack against China that he reached out to his Chinese counterpart and assured General Li Zuocheng that Milley would preemptively warn China. That, at least, is the salacious allegation in the new book, "Peril," co-written by Bob Woodward and Robert Costa. "General Li, I want to assure you that the American government is stable and everything is going to be okay," Milley is quoted as saying. "We are not going to attack or conduct any kinetic operations against you."...

Capitalism has not served the U.S. economy as well as it could have, U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi said on Friday, saying that the system needed to be improved. "In America, capitalism is our system, it is our economic system, but it has not served our economy as well as it should," she told a Chatham House event. "So what we want to do is not depart from that, but to improve it." "You cannot have a system where the success of some springs from the exploitation of the workers and springs from the exploitation of the environment...

Extremist groups and prominent rightwing figures are warning supporters not to attend a far-right rally in support of the people arrested for participating in the 6 January Capitol attack, calling the event a “false flag” and a “trap”. Capitol police are bracing for potential violence at the “Justice for J6” protest rally, which is taking place in Washington DC on Saturday, and security fencing has gone up once more around the Capitol building. But local and federal officials have also said that they expect no more than 700 people to attend the protest, a far cry from the estimated tens...

The attacks on the Capitol were DANGEROUS and Mitt Romney understands that. But the NRA is dead set on making this go away. They’re forcing their cronies in Congress to turn a blind eye!!! So we need to know what [15] activists in 15601 think about the Capitol riots -- your input could be what convinces Congress to take this seriously!!

The humongous bill that Democrats in Washington, D.C. are assembling this week is a slap in the face to Americans who work, pay taxes and support their families. The bill demeans work ethic and glorifies government handouts. It sends a message that work and self-sufficiency are for suckers. Better to climb on Uncle Sam's gravy train that will now provide cradle-to-grave benefits. The social spending bill will give monthly payments to almost all parents based on how many children they have, regardless if anyone in the family works. Democrats are also promising virtually free child care until kids reach age...

In Ephesians 4:31, Paul lists things we must remove from our lives if we are to grow in the grace of Christ: “Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice.” We dare not skip over these issues on Paul’s list. If you ignore the heart issues Paul mentions here, you will grieve the Holy Spirit. Your growth will be stunted, and you’ll end up a spiritual zombie. The first three items on Paul’s list—bitterness, wrath and anger—are self-explanatory. Bitterness is a refusal to let go of an old wound or forgive...
