Biden’s mask choices do seem sort of … weird. And convenient. And political. Sharyl Attkisson was good enough to do her ‘reporterly’ duties and point out Biden’s strange behavior with the mask: President Biden is wearing a mask outside. He walks up to press corps, takes down the mask, and talks to them. Please explain the purpose of the mask. 😶 — Sharyl Attkisson🕵️‍♂️ (@SharylAttkisson) October 2, 2021 She even said please. Of course, they won’t answer her because they don’t really know why the old guy does and doesn’t wear it. Like Brit Hume said: No one can, least...

The save America movement is alive. I have talked about this before but we continue to see a push back against the Biden agenda from Republican-led states and are even seeing it at the local level. This is in my opinion what will keep the country from completely falling apart until the midterms when we are able to send a strong message and give the Democrats a major loss in Congress. Yes, elections still do matter despite what happened in 2020.

In an earlier iteration of my singleness I once seriously courted a young woman from Eastern Europe. I traveled to her home country twice, spent lots of time with her ethnic community in Chicago—especially her family. Her oldest brother once told me this joke: Three women, one each from the USA, France, and his home country in Eastern Europe once traveled to a women’s rights conference. Upon conclusion of the conference they went home and told their husbands not only how much they had learned but also how much things were going to be different going forward. The following year...

Two climate activists ended their hunger strike outside parliament after a leading candidate for chancellor of Germany agreed to a public meeting with them following Sunday's general election. The hunger strikers said Scholz called them on Saturday afternoon, seven hours after they stopped taking liquids, and agreed to a public meeting within a month after the vote. Scholz confirmed the agreement in a statement on Twitter, saying saving lives takes precedent. The candidate and his two rivals from the environmentalist Greens and the center-right Union bloc had turned down the hunger strikers' initial demand for a meeting before the election....

"""North Carolina County Wants Teachers Fired, Disciplined If They Undermine Constitution, Bash Founders, Say America’s Racist""" A North Carolina county is insisting that its local school board institute a policy that would discipline or fire teachers if they assert that the American Founders were not heroes, if they make statements undermining the Constitution, or if they assert that racism is endemic in America. The Johnston County Board of Commissioners is withholding $7.9 million until the policy is accepted by the school board

A Houston man severely injured during a carjacking in May witnessed a similar incident on September 29, where a woman was dragged to death by a carjacker after her seatbelt had trapped her. He tracked down the suspect with a baseball bat and prevented him from fleeing until police arrived. On May 26, Lewis Matos was ordering car parts at his desk at AAMCO Transmissions when a car burst through the wall, trapping him underneath his desk. “Here I was, laying on the floor in horrific pain. I was pinned by this desk,” Matos said. The carjackers, Juan Mendez and...

It looks like we’re in for an all day rain. While it still looks very much like summer it feels and - more importantly - smells of fall.I would like to leave it at that as it is Sunday but too many other things are also assaulting my sense of smell, as in “doesn’t pass the smell test.” Starting with the sitting President: his stench of sedition, treachery, criminality and corruption of the soul are becoming quite overwhelming. Not that anyone in the media would notice of course.Bagram Lights Up – Chinese Military Land At Bagram Airbase Sources have just...

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi set a deadline of October 31 for lawmakers to pass President Joe Biden's $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill and the $3.5 trillion budget reconciliation package after delaying the vote on the legislation for a third time. In a letter to fellow Democrats on Saturday, Pelosi (D-Calif.) said 'more time was needed to reach our goal of passing both bills' after party leaders scrambled for the past two days to try and secure votes. Pelosi aims to pass the legislation by the end of the month when the 30-day reauthorization of federal highway programs — among other extensions...

How TikTok and a Gen Z aesthetic are selling a lifestyle used to justify misogyny and white supremacy in AmericaMention the word “tradwife” and you might imagine the 1950s archetype: A “traditional wife” in a dress and an apron, smiling at her husband and three kids while presenting a gleaming beef roast at the dinner table, pleased as ever in her domestic domain. For a swath of right-wing American men, that image is part of a fantasy of how things “used to be,” in the good ol’ days before antifa and Black Lives Matter and feminist YouTubers ruined everything. The...

AMERICAN FORK — Rude is the only way to describe what happened to a family in American Fork. Their prized pumpkin that came from their own garden is now missing. Dusten Batty and her husband love planting and taking care of crops in their garden. They have grown so much food lately that they have started putting a box outside their fence to give extra vegetables to their American Fork neighbors. "I even zip-tied some bags to it so they can grab bags," said Batty with a smile. What really got them excited this year, though, was their pumpkin harvest,...

Describing people who decline the Covid-19 vaccines as anti-vaxxers is, at best, a misnomer or, at its worst, bigotry. It draws no distinction between those opposed to vaccines in general and those opposed to Covid vaccines. Nevertheless, governments and the media use this descriptor to villainize those who suspect that these actors have less than good motives to justify destroying businesses, wiping out jobs, crippling the global supply chain, overseeing mounting collateral deaths, and suppressing civil, legal, and human rights—among other fallout from the effort to combat a bronchial virus with astonishingly high recovery rates and low mortality rates. Moreover,...

Transgender weightlifter Laurel Hubbard was recently dubbed University of Otago sportswoman of the year during the Blues awards, according to New Zealand’s Otago Daily Times. Hubbard was reportedly the first transgender winner of the award during the event’s more than 100 year history. The outlet continued: The Queenstown athlete became the first openly transgender woman to compete at the Olympics when she contested the women’s 87+kg at the Tokyo Games this year. The 43-year-old was eliminated from the event when she failed to make a successful lift in the snatch. Her achievement was recognised with the sportswoman of the year...

Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ) released a statement late Friday night in which he fumed over House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) breaking her promise to vote on the “bipartisan” infrastructure bill this past week. “It’s deeply regrettable that Speaker Pelosi breached her firm, public commitment to Members of Congress and the American people to hold a vote and to pass the once-in-a-century bipartisan infrastructure bill on or before September 27,” the New Jersey Democrat said in a statement. He acknowledged a press release from Pelosi when she said, “I am committing to pass the bipartisan infrastructure bill by September 27. I...

WASHINGTON, Wednesday, Oct. 2. A train with 200 troops left Alexandria yesterday afternoon for the purpose of obtaining wood at Edsell's Hill. While the cars were loading, some of the troops proceeded over the hill toward Springfield Station, when they were fired on by the rebels, and three of their number wounded. The entire party, with the exception of two who became detached and were taken prisoners, returned to Alexandria, having fully succeeded in the object of their expedition. The Pusey arrived this evening, and reports that five or six vessels of the Potomac flotilla are lying near the Maryland...

On Saturday’s “Fox News Live,” Rep. Troy Nehls (R-TX) argued against funding for electric vehicle charging stations in the $1.2 trillion spending bill by saying that the government doesn’t build gas stations and “General Motors and Tesla should be paying for these.” Nehls said that while he does support spending on roads and bridges, he objects to spending on charging stations for electric vehicles, and “We shouldn’t be using taxpayer dollars to fund that. When’s the American — when has government ever built a gas station? So, why are we spending billions of dollars on putting these electrical vehicle stations...

The press and its Democrat allies are portraying a wave of Haitian migrants heading north from South America as just poor, pitiful, refugees looking for relief from poverty. Turns out that's not the case. It's well-known that most of those coming up are country-shoppers rather than refugees, having been previously resettled in prosperous Chile and Brazil as refugees a decade ago. What's more, a lot of them have gotten jobs and made money.

Watching the refs steal a game from my Ducks caused a major headache. How do you throw a flag in the endzone with no time on the clock?
