Does the Biden administration want to foment a civil war, a mass taxpayer rebellion, or are they simply crazy? Those were the thoughts that flew through my head like the swallows to Capistrano the minute I read the Oct. 28 report in the Wall Street Journal under the headline “U.S. in Talks to Pay Hundreds of Millions to Families Separated at Border.” Needless to say, it is currently their most read article. “WASHINGTON—The Biden administration is in talks to offer immigrant families that were separated during the Trump administration around $450,000 a person in compensation, according to people familiar with...

The news comes as Pelosi spearheads legislation that doles out tens of billions of dollars in subsidies to the electric vehicle industry, including Tesla, with provisions to build charging stations for cars and incentivize electric car purchases through tax credits The financial dealings of Pelosi's husband, Paul, came under scrutiny earlier this year when he purchased as much as $1 million of Tesla call options, one of the largest transactions of Tesla shares disclosed by a member of Congress. At the time, Republicans charged that the House speaker was cashing in on her power.

A federal appeals court struck down a temporary injunction on Friday that had New York State health care workers able to seek a religious exemption to avoid getting their COVID-19 vaccinations. Three judges from the US Court of Appeals Second Circuit sided with New York State’s requirement that all health care workers must receive a COVID-19 vaccination regardless of religious beliefs or face termination. Gov. Kathy Hochul chimed in on the ruling. “On Day One, I pledged as Governor to battle this pandemic and take bold action to protect the health of all New Yorkers,” Hochul said in a statement....

So it’s Halloween weekend, and with several “Let’s Go Brandon” rap tunes topping the charts, I’d think some Biden costumes would be a big hit on the pumpkin spice trail tomorrow night, though any Biden costumes are probably stuck on a ship out in the ocean somewhere. Maybe improvise a supply-chain manager costume?

The Supreme Court on Friday agreed to hear a challenge to the Environmental Protection Agency’s authority to regulate power plant emissions, in a case that legal scholars say could undermine Congress’s constitutional authority to delegate power to federal agencies. Some argue that such regulation — not just by the EPA, but in President Biden’s vaccine mandate as well — is unconstitutional because of a somewhat arcane legal doctrine called the “nondelegation doctrine.” This theory holds that Congress cannot delegate broad policymaking authority to government agencies. Why does this argument matter? Our research finds that if the Supreme Court were to...

Congresswoman Liz Cheney’s office responded to Tucker Carlson by posting the email exchange they had with Fox News. Carlson is dropping a documentary on Fox Nation next week called “Patriot Purge,” and the absolutely insane trailer released this week features someone describing January 6 as a “false flag.”..... Cheney spokesman Jeremy Adler shared the exchange on Twitter and said, “He completely omitted the rational reason why Liz Cheney won’t participate in his dangerous efforts. Isn’t the liar and the coward the person who is unwilling to tell his viewers the truth about both the 2020 election and January 6th?”

WASHINGTON, Tuesday, Oct 29. Two advertisements are published this morning, the first one at the instance of the President of the United States, commanding the Marshal to attach certain real and personal property OF WILLIAM SHIELDS, and to give notice to all persons claiming the same, or knowing or having anything to say why the same should not be condemned to the use of the United States, to appear before the District-Attorney on the 28th of November next, to interpose their claims, and to make their allegations in that behalf. The second advertisement, published by order of the Court, is...

As resident Joe Biden jet sets off to another useless climate change conference, he is leaving behind a government defined by such indifference and ineptitude that the hapless chief executive might as well take an extended vacation. Does the apparent deteriorating mental acuity of a president affect those around him? Whether or not there is any basis to such an assumption, the cast of characters who comprise resident Joe Biden’s cabinet would seem to suggest that there is at least some truth in that observation. Whenever Biden’s henchmen appear before the Washington media – a sympathetic clique for the Democrats...

Joe Biden 'needs a nursing home and a bowl of soup'

"My six year old somberly came to me and asked if she was born evil because she was a white person, something she learned in a history lesson at school."

At today's Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) confronted AG Merrick Garland about a controversial memo on school board safety. First he said he hadn’t seen this memorandum, then he said it was his & he signed it.

“Wretched man that I am! Who will set me free from the body of this death? Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord!” (Romans 7:24-25). Christians have been delivered from sin’s power and will one day be delivered from its presence. The godly Puritan writer Thomas Watson once said that a sure sign of sanctification is a hatred and loathing of sin. It was his hatred of sin that caused Paul to cry out as he wrapped up his spiritual autobiography, “Wretched man that I am! Who will set me free from the body of this death?” That...

The 34-year-old woman, who reported to police with a lawyer, initially denied cutting the rope. On Wednesday, when local authorities showed her the video footage and forensic evidence, the Bangkok Post reported, she conceded that she had done so but told police she never intended to kill the workers. She cut the rope, she explained, out of annoyance because she did not see the condo’s notice alerting residents of the planned work, the Bangkok Post reported. One of the painters, a Myanmar national who identified himself as Song, told local media that he and his two colleagues had lowered themselves...

Biden tours Rome with 85-vehicle motorcade ahead of ‘climate’ summit President Biden on Friday cruised through Rome with an 85-vehicle motorcade — drawing criticism for the poor optics ahead of a global warming summit in Glasgow, Scotland, to which Biden is bringing about a dozen top US officials. “Biden arriving at the Vatican. His motorcade is lonnnnnng,” tweeted Washington Post reporter Chico Harlan, along with a video of the procession. “#Decarbonize this,” one person captioned the video. “America’s Marie Antoinette class is Washington’s elites – and that shows it,” another person responded. Biden routinely says there’s a “climate crisis” caused...

A prominent Boston surgeon ditched a patient in an operating room to have lunch in his car — and then fell asleep and missed the surgery, state regulators found. Dr. Tony Tannoury, head of spine surgery at Boston Medical Center, admitted to the Massachusetts Board of Registration in Medicine to missing the emergency ankle surgery in November 2016, the Boston Globe reported Wednesday. Tannoury, who took the patient into the operating room as the attending surgeon, then left the hospital and “bought something to eat in his parked car and fell asleep in the vehicle,” according to a consent order...

I broke a tooth recently, which caused me to look at ways to improve the strength of my teeth. One of the things I decided to do (besides being careful about ingesting processed sugar) was to drink milk again–for the calcium, phosphorous, Vitamin A and D. And for additional protein too as I’ve been lifting heavy weights. And yet, deep down, I knew that there are other ways to get the nutrients I need without having to drink milk. Yet, I kept at it. This morning, like too many mornings I’d care to admit to, I woke up with a...

The Health Commission of Guangdong Province, South China, ad this Thursday the existence of a new case of infection of the H5N6 strain of bird flu in humans. The new case occurred in the city of Dongguan, in a context in which the increase in people infected with bird flu in China during 2021 is generating concern among experts, who explain that the current situation is probably given by the mutation of a strain that has become much more infectious to humans than its predecessors.During the current year, China has reported 21 cases of human infections with the H5N6 subtype...
