Previous studies had indicated that while most mammoths likely died out around 10,000 years ago, a few had managed to survive in small populations on remote islands off the coast of Siberia. There had even been suggestions that some of these isolated island populations had held on until around 4,000 years ago. Now though, the results of a ten-year study involving the collection and analysis of 535 samples of sediment and permafrost from Siberia, Canada, Alaska and Scandinavia have yielded evidence to suggest that mammoths had still been roaming the wilds of mainland Siberia as recently as 3,900 years ago....

The phrase "Critical Race Theory" appears on the Virginia Department of Education website despite Democratic Gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe’s repeated claims the curriculum is not taught in Virginia. On the Virginia Department of Education website, several examples of the department promoting Critical Race Theory can be found, including a presentation from 2015, when Terry McAullife was governor, that encourages teachers to "embrace Critical Race Theory" in "order to re-engineer attitudes and belief systems." Additionally, superintendent memo 050-19 can be found on the site from February 2019 promoting both Critical Race Theory and the idea of "white fragility." Also in 2019,...

“For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin” (Hebrews 4:15). Jesus Christ provides us with the perfect example of how to defeat temptation. Perhaps you’ve heard the joke, “I can resist anything but temptation!” Unfortunately, that is all too often true in our lives. Learning how to successfully resist temptation is vitally important, for we sin only when we yield to temptation. Christians throughout history have recognized the importance of resisting temptation. One early believer wrote, “Fly from all...

Biden-and-company are looking for redemption through destruction, or as disgraced foreign correspondent Peter Arnett once incorrectly penned about a Vietnam village, “We had to destroy it to save it.” They are, of course, looking in all the wrong places. For conservatives, this is sad and ironic truth because under the cover of American success, many of us have become pawns in the crescendoing progressive upheaval. As Lloyd Billingsley states, “In America alone, our political class has exploited the pandemic to override the rights of the people, cast themselves as heroes, expand government, and justify vast amounts of spending… Freedom is...

An Oregon man accused of attacking conservative journalist Andy Ngo and stealing his cellphone during a 2019 confrontation has been indicted, authorities said. John Colin Hacker faces a third-degree robbery charge after a Multnomah County grand jury reviewed the evidence against him, the Multnomah County District Attorney told Fox News. "I hope last week’s indictment of Mr Hacker signals a change in the prosecutor’s office in Portland," Ngo said in a news release distributed Friday by the Center for American Liberty, which is representing him in a lawsuit against an Antifa group. "For years, too many violent extremists falsely claiming...

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell was paid nearly $128 million over the past two years through his salary, bonuses and other benefits, according to The New York Times. That figure, per the report, was discussed at the league-wide owners meeting in New York earlier this week. About 90% of Goodell’s pay over the past two years came from bonuses alone, four sources told The New York Times — which was so large “because he had helped secure such favorable labor and media deals.” Specifically, Goodell was paid $63,900,050 each year — which totals up to $127.8 million. That, per The New...

Frankly, it’s appalling to see how fanatically eager some parents are to inject their children with the experimental gene therapy, like so many lab rats. Hyperbole, you say? Conspiracy theory? Don’t take my word for it. Here’s one of the trained seals at the FDA, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pfizer, Inc., as that august body “debated” approving the shots for kids: “We’re never going to learn how safe the vaccine is unless we start giving it and that’s just the way it goes. That’s how we found out about complications of other vaccines.” Thank you, Dr. Pelosi. A curious and...

(Be sure to read all the way to the 7th paragraph) The need for self-defense is imminent. Just because there’s no one at the door threatening to break it in, doesn’t mean the home isn’t under assault. They’ve just found better ways of getting into the house, of surveilling those inside, of punishing someone for their private thoughts. Are you being punished? Are you being denied employment even with ten million open jobs? This is not the same type of war that has been engaged in before. How long before one’s demand for civil and human rights is cause for...

Jon Bon Jovi was halfway there — then came the COVID test. The fully vaccinated star backed out of a Miami Beach concert minutes before he was supposed to take the stage because of a surprise positive COVID-19 test. The Jersey-born rocker had been scheduled to play at the Loews South Beach for an acoustic Halloween performance, when the “Living on a Prayer” singer’s brother took the stage with the bad news just as the show was about to kick off. Matt Bongiovi announced that Jon had tested positive for the virus after the band had all taken a rapid...

The Democrats are pretending COVID is the entire problem, but the issue is also California’s cockamamie environmental and employment laws. I’ve lived in California for nearly 50 years, certainly long enough to know the state is wacko. It’s become a self-immolating mess, with policies growing more disastrous as the years go by. SNIP A few things, it seems to me, have played a part in the current crisis: Back in 2008, the state passed some onerous air quality legislation, that mandated truck engines be “upgraded” by certain dates. It was a gradual process, but older engines were simply not going...

...Governor Kay Ivey the Republican governor of Alabama had this to say back in July some three months ago... "I want people to get vaccinated...that's the cure...if we know what it takes to get it done, get a shot in your arm... it's safe effective... its time to start blaming the unvaccinated folks not the regular folks..." A "Conservative Speaker" comes to town to talk about "Critical Race Theory" this week and the Second Amendment is tossed out the door...Let Ammon Bundy tell you the story... And God Bless Ammon standing by his convictions... The day after you vote Wednesday...

A letter from Nathan DeGrave, imprisoned in Washington, D.C., reveals that these prisoners are suffering cruel and unusual punishment for their political views. In 2020, BLM, Antifa, and opportunists rampaged through American cities, looting, burning, and assaulting and even murdering people. Leftists, including most major American corporations, contributed millions of dollars to various BLM funds, including funds to release those few who were arrested from prison. Most suffered minimal to no consequences. Meanwhile, nine months after the riot on January 6—which Tucker Carlson seems poised to expose once and for all as a false-flag operation—Americans who accepted the Capitol Police’s...

Source: Official White House Photo by Delano Scott The international community's patience is growing thin as the Iranian regime's nuclear defiance and regional terrorism intensify. At the same time, credible accusations that the regime's President, Ebrahim Raisi, was involved in the massacre of thousands of political prisoners in 1988, are making it harder for other countries to engage and negotiate with a genocidal president. The Iranian regime is dealing with a multitude of crises and challenges. The economy is in shambles, COVID-19 is wreaking havoc, the unemployment rate continues to set new records, and the official inflation rate is now...

Woke Sports World has a MELTDOWN. It is ok that teams do this in honor of Native Americans! We were/are warriors! If this is not allowed we will be forgotten about. The democrats want all people, confederate, our African brothers, our WW2 HEROS, Korean War HEROS, Vietnam HEROS! To be forgotten about!

AFD are neo-Nazis. Anyone who has a problem with the rapefugees is a neo-Nazi. Everything is dunky-hory in Germany, except for those damned neo-Nazi AFD inciting violence, etc.

he Leftist, Liberal-Progressive, and secular cultures are full of lies and empty promises. Let’s start with the basics: Secular: denoting attitudes, activities, or other things that have no religious or spiritual basis. Contrasted with Sacred. Sacred: connected with God; regarded with respect and reverence. Surely, I can’t be the only one. I can’t be the only one who sees the erosion of that which has been foundational to civil, tolerant, and law-abiding society, and feels a sense of loss and fears where our culture is headed. As it turns out, I am not. I have read a handful of commentaries...

Panasonic has debuted its 4680 cylindrical battery that was previewed at Tesla’s Battery Day event last year. The battery will purportedly store five times as much energy and cost half as much to build as the 2170 lithium-ion cells Tesla currently uses in the Model 3 and Y, which are also provided by Panasonic.
