    Chinese President Xi Jinping has publicly called for the annexation of Taiwan. Chinese warplanes have entered Taiwan’s air defense space with increasing frequency. Reuters reported on October 11, 2021, that China carried out beach-landing military exercises in a province opposite Taiwan. We may be drifting toward war...

    Biden is doing all he can to damage America. When attacks begin remember that Biden did this to America. The Democrat Party is the evil that is doing all it can to destroy our nation, on purpose. NO ONE can be this stupid, it has to be by design. It is impossible to be this stupid.
  • THE GREAT REBELLION: No Further Movements Across the Potomac; IMPORTANT FROM MISSOURI; Condition of Affairs in the Southwest (10/12/1861)

    WASHINGTON, Friday, Oct. 11. The explanation of the employment of the steamer Fanny in the service of the Government, without her being connected with the Navy Department, is perfectly clear. She was engaged by the Quartermaster's Department of the army, as all transport service is done by that branch. Ridiculous as it may appear, it is nevertheless a fact, that the naval expeditions are made up in this way, -- the Navy Department furnishing the fighting vessels, but having nothing whatever to do with the vessels that carry the lighting men. If there is any hitch in the movements of...
  • Wife of Navy submarine spy, posted anti-Trump rants, praised Hilary

    The wife of a Navy submarine engineer-turned-into-spy is a leftist who supports 'The Resistance' and Hilary Clinton and posted about 'stopping Donald Trump', according to her social media posts that reveal the couple organized a babysitter on Facebook so they could make their last secret drop of stolen intelligence before they were caught by the FBI. She then posted an update to the original post, only visible to friends, with the word '*FOUND*', implying a babysitter had been organized. She and her husband Jonathan Toebbe, 42, then left their home in Annapolis, Maryland, unaware they were being watched by the...

    With each passing week, it looks like World War III -- between America and China -- is coming sooner than we think. It's not going to be fought with bullets or aircraft carriers, although the Chinese are building up their military in an aggressive and threatening way. This will more likely be an all-out economic war for global supremacy. The yuan versus the dollar. The Nasdaq versus the Shanghai Stock Exchange. Meanwhile, America is asleep at the switch -- at least, the Biden administration is. This is the worst possible time to be raising tax rates on American companies (Our...

    The trend is likely to continue into 2022, as patient acuity in both COVID-19 and non-COVID cases rises, new report says. KEY TAKEAWAYSThe Delta variant and employee shortages are cutting into hospital profitability.The nursing shortage will be intensified as employees leave because of burnout, family obligations, contract opportunities, and more.Worker shortages may open the door to unionization or lead to more difficult union negotiations, contributing to higher expenses. An ongoing shortage of hospital workers, particularly nurses, caused by the surge of the Delta variant, will place additional strain on not-for-profit hospitals' profitability in the long run, says a new report...

  • Republicans Unveil True Conservation Alternative to Biden 30x30 Plan

    The Biden administration talks a great game about conservation, but is intentionally misleading Americans about their agenda. Take the 30X30 push. Stemming from a January 27th Executive Order 14008 entitled “Tackling the Climate Crisis at Home and Abroad,” Biden’s Interior Department has pledged to “protect” 30 percent of lands and water by 2030 through their “America the Beautiful” plan. While nice-sounding on the surface, many questions remain. Why is true conservation not clearly defined? What’s the federal government’s role here? And do we already conserve 30 percent of waters and lands in the U.S.? That’s what the jointly-released “Western Conservation...

    The real heretics continue to rule while Robert Reeder is off to jail. When politics is your religion and government is your God, a public building is your church. The four-hour disturbance at the U.S. Capitol building on January 6, according to Beltway aristocracy and the media, wasn’t a legitimate protest that turned violent in some areas—it was a sacrilege. Never mind that the building itself sustained minimal damage—early reports estimated $30 million for repairs but the actual figure is around $1 million—the real vandalism occurred when thousands of Americans wearing MAGA hats invaded the cathedral of government power occupied...

    Schools across the United States reportedly handed out laptops to pupils for distance learning during the COVID-19 pandemic — and then spied on them with the very same electronic device, according to a Monday report from The Guardian. What are the details? According to recently released research from the Center for Democracy and Technology, 86% of teachers polled said their schools provided electronic learning devices — such as tablets, laptops, and Chromebooks — for students to use at home at nearly double the rate when compared year over year. Many of those devices, however, were reportedly being used to monitor...
  • Some GOP officials are urging Republican voters to back Democrats in 2022 to save the party from 'pro-Trump extremists'

    Two GOP officials urged voters to make sure "rational Republicans" don't lose the "GOP civil war." The op-ed was written by Miles Taylor, a Trump-era Department of Homeland Security chief of staff, and Christine Todd Whitman, a former Republican Gov. of New Jersey. They highlighted the need to elect a "strong contingent of moderate Democrats" in 2022. Two GOP officials have urged Republican voters to vote Democrat in the 2022 midterm elections, suggesting that this might be a way for the GOP to "battle pro-Trump extremists."

    You may think that today is Columbus Day, which it is; but it is also Indigenous Peoples’ Day. And as you may know, it is now customary at many woke colleges and universities to acknowledge regularly that all proceedings are taking place on “stolen land.” Now this year for the first time, a U.S. President has recognized Indigenous Peoples’ Day with a Proclamation. Here are a few of the stirring words: Since time immemorial, American Indians, Alaska Natives, and Native Hawaiians have built vibrant and diverse cultures — safeguarding land, language, spirit, knowledge, and tradition across the generations. On Indigenous...

    MIDLAND, Pennsylvania -- For as much cash and strategy as partisans put into creating a wave for their own parties, they always seem to miss where the ripple starts and why. Part of the reason they miss it is that they are in Washington and not in places such as this one. Midland is a borough in Beaver County -- an urban area that hugs the Ohio River. It boomed for 50 years during the peak of the Industrial Revolution, but it has lost population ever since the collapse of industry beginning in the 1970s. The racial breakdown, black to...

    The government’s primary goal now seems to be utilizing fear and propaganda to turn American society against itself. Suddenly, your health is everybody’s business. If you have the misfortune of living in New York City, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and New Orleans, where you can no longer enter a restaurant, museum, or concert hall without proof of a COVID-19 vaccination, you may find yourself having intimate discussions about your health with strangers. A restaurant owner in New York City recently expressed to me his discomfort stemming from the city’s new measures. Unvaccinated customers have been inundating him with personal health...

    Two Georgia election workers from the state’s most populous county were fired on Friday for allegedly shredding voting applications in the past two weeks. Fulton County revealed in a statement on Monday that, according to a preliminary review, two employees may have checked out batches of applications for processing but allegedly shredded a portion of the forms instead of fully processing them. According to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R), 300 municipal election-related applications were allegedly destroyed. Fellow employees reported the conduct to their supervisor on Friday morning, according to Fulton County. The two election workers were fired that...

    We’re witnessing the continued relentless push to normalize the LGBTQ+ agenda. If you watched Seinfeld in the 1990s, you remember the characters’ saying “Not that there’s anything wrong with that” every time the subject of homosexuality came up. I’m libertarian enough to believe that, whether it’s nature or nurture, some people prefer their own sex. What I am not okay with is the left’s relentless efforts to get children to embrace non-normative sexual behaviors. The Obama administration greenlighted these efforts and they’ve been bearing fruit for 13 years. The most recent example is that DC Comics, which owns the Superman...
