The Marxists have a plan and they’ve been executing it for years. They’ve been preparing our children for life under tyranny by indoctrinating them at school. One teacher (an Antifa supporter) was even caught on a Project Veritas hidden camera bragging that he’s in the business of creating young communists -- and he has seven hours every day to do it. Their goal has been to turn our kids into children of the state. They’re separating them from their families by coaching them on topics like contraception, abortion, and gender fluidity. They’ve even been asking pre-middle school children how they...

With all the ominous things taking place in America – and there are certainly quite a few – perhaps none is more ominous than this: Parents are being demonized. Moms and dads have become the enemy. It is now the government (or the education system) vs. those entrusted with raising the next generation. How on earth did this happen? We have certainly come a long way from the days of Father Knows Best – a very long way. Back in the 1960s, when the generation gap grew large as a result of the counterculture revolution, young people viewed their parents...

CRT’s goal is indoctrination, not empowerment, something easy to see by looking at Bettina Love, one of CRT’s rising stars. It is encouraging to see that at least some of the broader culture’s acceptance of CRT is waning, but we can be assured the zeal among CRT’s adherents will not wane. Therefore, we must mimic the radical left’s tactics and keep the pressure on, to reveal the whole vacuous pack of lies. Understanding CRT’s effects on people and reading what a rising CRT star—Bettina Love—wants to do to America’s Black students, help expose those lies. The Democrat party’s radical left...

resident Biden recently announced another attempt to unilaterally and unconstitutionally legislate through his executive position. resident Biden has directed the Department of Labor’s Office of Occupational Safety and Health (OSHA) to promulgate rules and implement standards for weekly testing or mandatory vaccines for employers with at least 100 employees. This is in direct conflict with the separation of powers and non-delegation doctrines in the Constitution. The separation of powers and non-delegation doctrines are two-sides of the same coin that restrict abuses of power by any one branch of government — especially the Executive. Article I of the United States Constitution...

It’s obvious that if Trump runs again in 2024, he should name “Brandon” as his running mate, so rally crowds can yell “Let’s go Brandon!” This is better than shouting the vernacular version, and the media will be totally flummoxed having to explain it over and over again. Meanwhile, did Facebook have the worst week ever, or what?

Anyone whom the MAGA base suspects of being a RINO is a dead armadillo now. The best advice I could offer Pence and Haley is to disappear. Since they can’t go back in time, and since swimming against the tide is (at best) treading water, the best thing they could do is wait for the world to change. But they’re still here, acting like no one will remember they were caught swimming naked when the tide rolls back in. Why is it that everybody but Pence and Haley can see this? As Richard Feynman put it, “The first principle is...

“Che Guevara’s contribution to the Bay of Pigs victory was crucial,” writes Che hagiographer Jorge Castaneda, also a New York Times contributor, Columbia, Princeton, Harvard, NYU visiting professor and former Mexican Foreign Minister. “Che's military leadership was permeated by an indomitable will that permitted extraordinary feats." Well, “extraordinary” is certainly one way of putting it. I refer to Che Guevara’s being wounded during that tragic battle. The wound, you see, came from a bullet that entered Che’s face just under his chin and exited under his ear doing only slight cosmetic damage to that forthcomingly famous Hollywood and Madison Avenue...

State Sen. Ben Kieckhefer, R-Reno, a former reporter who served as a press secretary before being elected to office, announced his resignation via Twitter on Friday. Kieckhefer, who was term-limited, did not specify a reason for his resignation. “While it has been an honor and privilege to serve the people...

I've given dozens of speeches across America in the past month -- in front of conservative crowds, business leaders, patriots and Christians. I've told all of them my opinion that resident Joe Biden is a brain-dead zombie puppet, incapable of knowing the difference between his wife and sister. I'm certain his wife Jill feeds him baby food in the White House basement -- in a mask. He should be in a 24/7 care nursing home, not the presidency. He should be wearing a sign around his neck saying, "Hi, I'm Joe. If I get lost, please call my mommy Jill...

follow the money The CIA destablized the Ukraine helped by an American businessman who funded propaganda of the so called opposition. The result was to replace a pro russian president with an antirussian president who was corrupt. Both Oliver Stone and other left wing sites discuss this, and of course, Alex Jones has had several programs about the back story of Hunter Biden's scandal So a couple years later, that same American businessman funded a reporter from CNN to start an anti Duterte news site. Full story here by a writer who used to work at Rappler (2015 story) https://www.techinasia.com/rappler-funding-omidyar-network#!...

Several top members of the Biden administration were in Mexico City on Friday for a meeting with Mexican officials regarding security along the U.S.-Mexico border. But Vice President Kamala Harris wasn't among them. Harris, whom President Biden appointed in March to manage the U.S. response to the migrant crisis along the border, went to New Jersey instead. Attending Friday's high-level talks in Mexico's capital were Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland. Ken Salazar, a former U.S. senator from Colorado who now serves as the U.S. ambassador to Mexico, also attended....

**SNIP** The calls for taking the near-annual fight out of lawmakers' hands are coming from prominent voices such as House Budget Committee Chairman John Yarmuth (D-Ky.) and Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, who want to eliminate the debt limit in its current form. They argue that members of Congress should not be able to use the threat of a debt default as political leverage ever again - an approach that would respond to GOP stonewalling by playing some hardball of their own. Although lawmakers are poised to stave off a national default barely a week before the Oct. 18 deadline, when...

A beloved mountain gorilla who in 2019 struck a pose in a selfie seen around the world has died at the age of 14. The Virunga National Park in the Democratic Republic of Congo said that Ndakasi died last month after a prolonged illness.... "It is with heartfelt sadness that Virunga announces the death of beloved orphaned mountain gorilla, Ndakasi, who had been under the care of the Park's Senkwekwe Center for more than a decade," the park said, adding she took her final breath in the arms of her caretaker, Andre Bauma.... ...Ndakasi was only two months old when...

One of the things that COVID and the vaccines have brought to the fore is the fact that, even in the third decade of the 21st century, as the Book of Common Prayer says, “in the midst of life, we are in death.” In the modern age, it’s been easy to forget that fact. But what if it’s government or other third-party dictates that are forcing that death upon us, rather than our free choice as citizens in a supposed free country. What then? In Moby Dick, Herman Melville wrote about rope, specifically the ropes attached to harpoons. A whale...

...With a deadline of October 18th approaching—the point at which, according to Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, the U.S. would default on its debt if the debt ceiling were not raised by $480 billion—McConnell and Schumer agreed to raise the debt limit through December.... ...The critics might want to hold their fire until they see what happens in December. According to McConnell's allies, the minority leader had very good reasons for striking the deal. They say it connects all the important political dots now laid out before him as GOP leader, in ways that will benefit Republicans going into a midterm...

Let’s do a little thought experiment. The Turtle got eleven Republicans in the Senate to vote for cloture on the debt limit extension. Many Conservatives are screaming that he surrendered and all is lost. But what would have happened if he hadn’t done that? If there were no debt limit extension, the government would “shut down.” Anyone with half a brain would realize that no such thing would happen. Lots of “non-essential” (that means most gummint paycheck cashers) would go home and cry to the alleged news people that they couldn’t buy their favorite flavor of Häagen-Dazs to imitate Saint...

Some Republicans roll their eyes regarding Trump’s ongoing efforts to prove claims that massive election fraud won Biden the presidential election. They shouldn’t. Even if Trump never forces accountability, it is imperative to broadcast vast pushback to perceived Democrat political hijinks. After all, the corporate media’s focus on Trump’s “mean tweets,” ofttimes crude objectification of women, incessant bragging, refusal to hew to the DC playbook, and Covid gave them the cover to mostly ignore his systemic greatness. Trump crashed through the bureaucracy and for a while successfully diminished its reach; then the bureaucracy viciously smashed back. .Despite Republican squish and...

Back in 2002, Die Another Day was the highest-grossing film in the James Bond series. However, despite its box-office success, it was poorly received by Bond enthusiasts and critics who felt the series had devolved into pastiche with outlandish elements such as an invisible car and kite surfing over a tsunami. The gravitas and subtext that Ian Fleming had conceived had long been absent in the series but it became most apparent in the indifferently made Die Another Day. It also seemed anachronistic for the post 9/11 era to have a comedic spy thriller. Thus, the forty-year-old series returned to...

ABOARD GEO BARENTS (AP) — Libya’s rival sides reached an initial agreement Friday on the withdrawal of foreign fighters and mercenaries from the North African nation, the United Nations said, a key step toward unifying the warring sides in violence-wracked country... ...The U.N. mission mediating between the rivals said a 10-member joint military commission, with five representatives from each side, inked a “gradual and balanced” withdrawal deal Friday, at the end of three-day, U.N.-facilitated talks in Geneva...
