As we get to the midpoint between the last presidential election and next year’s midterms, all political sides are expending extraordinary effort to ignore the 900-pound gorilla in the formerly smoke-filled room of American politics. This, of course, is Donald Trump. The Democrats are still outwardly pretending Trump has gone and that his support has evaporated. They also pretend they can hobble him with vexatious litigation and, if necessary, destroy him again by raising the Trump-hate media smear campaign back to ear-splitting levels. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), even as she finds the ground shifting beneath her feet over the...

Please help me let Rino Don Bacon know that we want him to vote no across the board including the infrastructure bill that he supports. It's filled with garbage. His vote affects us all. Here is his DC number 202-225-4155

The latest Public Health England technical briefing on Covid-19 variants of concern has been published and it reveals that up to the 12th September 2021, 74% of all alleged Covid-19 deaths since August 2nd 2021 have been among the vaccinated population, confirming the UK is currently experiencing a pandemic of the vaccinated. The report, which is the 23rd update to be released suggests at first glance that the vast majority of Covid-19 cases and hospitalisations are among the unvaccinated population. However, this is because the total numbers presented in the report have been collated from as far back as February...

With a shortage of school bus drivers, Gov. Tom Wolf’s administration is putting out an urgent call to find drivers. In addition, Pennsylvania Acting Health Secretary Alison Beam is encouraging school districts to make preparations for vaccine clinics in November in anticipation of federal approval of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine for kids 5-11. Currently, the vaccine is only approved for those 12 and older. And the administration is urging schools to take part in the state’s COVID-19 testing program. At a news conference Thursday, members of Gov. Tom Wolf’s administration are outlining those steps to keep children in classrooms amid...

"Given that the sand sealing the chamber was [40,000] years old, and that the chamber was therefore older, it must have been Neanderthals," who lived in Eurasia from about 200,000 to 40,000 years ago and were likely using the cave, Clive Finlayson, director of the Gibraltar National Museum, told Live Science in an email.While Finlayson's team was studying the cave last month, they discovered the hollow area. After climbing through it, they found it is 43 feet (13 meters) in length, with stalactites hanging like eerie icicles from the chamber ceiling.Along the surface of the cave chamber, the researchers found...

How in the world did the Virginia GOP permit Chuck Todd to take part in the debate between Democratic nominee Terry McAuliffe and Republican nominee Glenn Youngkin this week? How did that happen? Has the Virginia Republican Party learned less than nothing in the last 10 years?Chuck Todd works for MSNBC, one of the left-wing cable news networks. He has spouted every single anti-Republican conspiracy theory Democrats have cooked up in recent years. He has personally participated in the censoring of real news and discussions that might harm his allies in the Democratic Party. He pushes for left-wing policy positions...

There is bad news to share for Memphis Grizzlies fans. If you plan on attending an NBA game you will have to provide vaccination papers and wear a face mask. The Grizzlies are owned by people who seem to have an affinity for fascism, which should not be surprising for a professional sports organization that dribbles with the Communist Chinese. The unvaccinated must get a test within 72 hours of a game and must provide official government documents verifying the test results. "FedExForum will require everyone – regardless of vaccination status – to wear a face mask inside FedExForum until...

Seriously? This is who Democrats think can be their secret weapon for the 2022 midterms. Is the bench really that thin? Also, why isn’t Joe Biden at the top of this list? Doesn’t the president have coattails? No. Not right now—and probably not for the foreseeable future. Inflation is spiking, economic growth is slowing, job creation is evaporating, and we’re a mess abroad. Biden’s trust in handling COVID has also dipped. Afghanistan has collapsed and Joe left Americans stranded. There’s not much this administration can tout. The COVID vaccine isn’t one of them. Biden inherited the vaccine from Donald Trump....

Centrist Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) announced on Thursday that his top-line spending number for the budget reconciliation package is $1.5 trillion, far below the $3.5 trillion spending goal set by the budget resolution that he and every other Senate Democrat voted for last month. Manchin confirmed that he signed a memorandum of understanding with Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) at the end of July setting $1.5 trillion as his spending limit for President Biden’s Build Back Better agenda and explained he did so as a precondition for voting for the Senate budget resolution in August. --Developing

A trans-identified biological female alleges that a hospital in New York discriminated by requiring a pregnancy test even though the patient identifies as a male and says the nurses did not use preferred pronouns. Trey Lowery, who identifies as a male and underwent bariatric sleeve surgery at Highland Hospital in Rochester in July, is threatening to file a lawsuit after experiencing "discrimination" at the healthcare facility. Lowery expressed outrage after being asked to take a pregnancy test. As an affiliate of the University of Rochester Medical Center, Highland Hospital requires all biological females with female reproductive organs to undergo pregnancy...

As state and federal laws meant to bring ghost guns into compliance with traditional firearm laws await implementation, local officials and prosecutors across California are increasingly resorting to bans and lawsuits to regulate the weapons in their cities. On 7 September, San Francisco became the first California city to pass a ban on ghost guns – weapons built from firearm parts sold without serial numbers, making them difficult to trace. The measure forbids the sale of unserialized weapons and weapon parts by unlicensed dealers. A week after San Francisco’s board of supervisors unanimously passed its ban, San Diego’s city council...

Joe Biden’s $3.5 trillion ‘Build Back Better” plan is in deep trouble. Moderates believe it’s too expensive and radicals think it doesn’t go far enough.But what the Build Back Better plan suffers from is a lack of clarity about what’s in it for the American people. The bill would expand several popular government programs — with dental, vision, and hearing aid benefits added for Medicare, and Obamacare subsidies expanded and extended.But Joe Biden has gotten sidetracked in recent weeks as reality came calling and he had to answer. The Afghanistan debacle and the return of high rates of pandemic infections...

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Army Gen. Mark Milley admitted Wednesday during a hearing that he told his Chinese counterpart he would give him a call if the United States were about to attack. Hartzler told Milley, “I understand your intent, but I think you are articulating that — that you would tell him you would give him a call, I think, is worthy of your resignation. I just think that’s against our country that you would give our No. 1 adversary that information and tell him that.”

If you just narrowly focus on the media news, economics, human morality, and politics in general, then you may prematurely conclude that America is plunging into corrupt decadence, which also ended the Roman Empire, and that there is just too much wrong with America and no easy fix in sight. If you focus on the vanguard of developments in education, science, and technology, then you may conclude that there are a lot of good things going on and that there are a lot of right things going on that offer a lot of hope for many in the near foreseeable...

Former President Donald Trump on Thursday promised a large victory in the 2022 midterms if President Joe Biden’s massive tax and spend agenda is enacted into law. “If Democrats are able to piece together their huge tax hikes, called by another name, it will mean an additional 40 Republican seats in the House and at least a few additional Republican Senators in the U.S. Senate,” Trump stated.

If you like unfunny Liberal comedians, you have a wide range to choose from. Start with the talentless Trevor Noah who only has a job because he’s black, Jimmy Kimmel who used to love dressing up in blackface and using the n-word, all the way up to Stephen Colbert who doesn’t even pretend to be funny. It is here you will find drag queens dancing dressed as vaccine syringes, in a bit they call ‘The Vax Scene’ that is pathetic on every level except for one. “Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been...
