By God’s grace, the American experiment has lasted for 232 years now, since the Constitution went into effect on April 30, 1789. Every political leader that is sworn in agrees to uphold the Constitution.But now in our day of rampant political correctness, of Marxist revisionism, of “egg shell plaintiffs,” of “safe spaces,” of “hate speech” (which is often just the other guy’s opinion), even the Constitution has recently been labeled as “harmful.” It might offend someone.Case in point. Recently, Ophelie Jacobson of Campus Reform approached students at the University of Florida to ask them what they think about the Constitution....

The September 29 lead headline on Drudge Report was even more apocalyptic and alarming than normal, featuring a giant YouTube logo, front and center, covered by a red “cancel” circle. The headline declared, “YOUTUBE BANS ALL ‘ANTI-VAX’ CONTENT.’” Secondary headlines also sounded ominous tones: “Sydney warns unvaccinated face total social isolation IDEFINITELY when lockdown ends . . .”; “UNITED AIRLINES firing employees who refuse shot”; “Biden Order Mandate Enforcement With Up To $700,000 Fine . . .” – and more. Are things really as bad as they seem? In a word, yes. But let me say at the outset that...

Scarborough accused GOP leadership of being “reckless” in its opposition to Democrats. He questioned if the likes of Sens. Mitt Romney (R-UT), Ben Sasse (R-NE) and Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) would allow the economy to crash as a result of the debt brought on by the GOP and former President Donald Trump.

LOS ANGELES — Britney Spears has been freed from her father. And she could be freed entirely from court control within weeks. In a major victory for the pop star, a judge on Wednesday suspended the singer’s father from the conservatorship that has controlled her life and money for 13 years, saying the arrangement “reflects a toxic environment.” Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Brenda Penny agreed with a petition from Spears and her attorney that James Spears needs to give up his role as conservator.

Authorities claim that the Covid-19 vaccines reduce the risk of hospitalisation and death, and they claim that the vaccines have so far been successful in doing so. But if this is the case, then why are Covid-19 deaths across the UK over 3,000 higher than this time last year? And why are 80% of those dying people who have had the Covid-19 vaccine?The mainstream media, Public Health sources, and the Government are doing their best to convince you that it is the unvaccinated who make up the majority of those deaths. One headline published by the Independent newspaper this weeke...

DEL RIO, TX – The Biden administration has been facing a lot of heat over their immigration policies over the last year, and now the President may be losing one of his strongest supporters, the liberal news outlet CNN.

In light of the radical Left's New Green Deal). Much of ancient Israel’s plight, well documented throughout the Old Testament, was its insatiable thirst for pagan nature worship. This of course was in direct violation of the first two commandments of the Mosaic Law which commanded Israel not to worship any other false god or idol (Exodus 20:3-4). The reason why Israel was forbidden to worship other gods, the natural created order, and idols, was given in Genesis. Genesis 1 presents to the reader an ultimate Creator who made the universe out of nothing through His omnipotent spoken word, and...

Wayne Couzens may have abused his Covid lockdown powers to lure Sarah Everard into his car and arrest her, the Old Bailey was told. The officer had worked Covid patrol shifts in January 2021, and "was therefore aware of the regulations and what language to use to those who may have breached them", the Crown Prosecution Service said. Miss Everard was kidnapped as she walked from dinner at a friend's home near Clapham Common on Mar 3. Video timeline...

Despite claiming that officials in her administration don’t support defunding police, Gov. Kathy Hochul has tapped a second person who does to a key post — a failed New York City Council candidate who wants to slash the NYPD budget by $3 billion. On Friday, Hochul appointed Amit Bagga to be her deputy secretary for intergovernmental affairs. He lost the City Council primary in June for Queens’ District 26 seat despite support from Democratic socialist and defund proponent Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez’s political action committee. Bagga’s archived campaign website, which was taken down last week, says he wants to cut...

Bob Menendez (D-NJ), the powerful chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee unafraid to break with his party, has been a thorn in President Joe Biden’s side over several policies and decisions. Biden became acquainted with Menendez’s propensity for making matters difficult for presidents of either party, especially those who do not value Congress’s role in crafting U.S. foreign policy, when he served as vice president.

A huge seismic event that started in May of 2018 and was felt across the entire globe has officially given birth to a new underwater volcano. Off the eastern coast of the island of Mayotte, a gigantic new feature rises 820 meters (2,690 feet) from the seafloor, a prominence that hadn't been there prior to an earthquake that rocked the island in May 2018. French governmental institutions sent a research team to check it out; there, sure enough, was an undersea mountain that hadn't been there before. Led by geophysicist Nathalie Feuillet of the University of Paris in France, the...

That includes former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, co-chairmen of the National Republican Redistricting Trust.

JACKSON, Wyo. (AP) — Widespread news coverage of a woman found dead in western Wyoming helped searchers in an unrelated case find a man's body not far away, officials said. A team with a search dog looked for four hours Tuesday before finding the body of a man matching the description of Robert ‘Bob’ Lowery, according to a Teton County Search & Rescue statement. Lowery, 46, of Houston, went missing Aug. 20. The man's body was found on a steep, wooded slope in the area of Teton Pass in western Wyoming. How the man died wasn’t immediately clear.

Stephen Roach is the latest high-profile economist to sound the alarm on the risk of a 1970s-style stagflation—where economic growth falls but inflation stays stubbornly high. The former Morgan Stanley Asia chairman told CNBC in a Sept. 29 interview that the energy price spike is inflicting major damage to struggling supply chains and that he believes the United States is “one supply chain glitch” away from a 70s-era bout of stagflation. His remarks came as gasoline stations were running dry in Britain, power costs were surging in the European Union ahead of winter, and amid rising prices for oil, natural...
