Glasgow (AFP) - One car was themed 'climate reality,' another 'transforming society' and a third 'stop talking and start doing' -- welcome to the Glasgow-bound Rail to the COP. With more than 400 young climate warriors on board, many in their mid-to-late teens, the 10-hour trip from Amsterdam with changeovers in Brussels and London was shot through with camaraderie, determination and anger. One thing these young activists did not bring on board was the illusion that the 13-day UN summit starting Sunday would by itself beat back what they called the existential threat of global warming. “Politicians won't achieve the...

Americans are aware Big Tech has been censoring, shadow banning, and/or de-platforming people for years. These social media sites regularly suppress information they don’t like, and outright ban those with views that are antithetical to their ideology. The argument from the political right and the left is basically that Congress should regulate these entities. Conservatives say more content should be allowed; Liberals say there should be much less. Regardless of any potential congressional regulations, you know Big Tech is shutting down your voice, but what you may not know is that Big Tech is also shutting down your vote. In...

U.S. Representative Adam Kinzinger criticized Democrats for encouraging Republicans to tell the truth but then targeting him in redistricting. Kinzinger, a Republican from Illinois, explained his decision to not seek re-election while appearing on ABC News' This Week Sunday morning.

He also called out Democrats for drawing him into a district with another GOP incumbent. His district is currently largely based in...

By a quirk of fate, I spent the day before Halloween researching for and writing this article—on exorcism. (I trust that the timing was, as they say, “coincidental”). Sophia Institute Press, the publishers of the just-released book, Diary of an American Exorcist , had asked me to review it; being no expert in but naturally finding such a topic fascinating, I agreed, and also ended up briefly interviewing its author, Stephen J. Rossetti, a Catholic priest and licensed psychologist. You might be happy to know that carving a jack-o-lantern or taking your kids trick-or-treating are, overall, safe occupations, according to...

Watch the video it's only 1:03 minutes long.

In college, we are taught that one of the founders of the American Revolution, Thomas Paine, was a deist. Indeed, he was. What the professors did not tell us was that Paine's masterpiece, "Common Sense" — the pamphlet that persuaded the American people to move from merely seeking some redress of grievance from British government to flat out seeking independence — made almost all of its arguments from the Bible.Paine knew that the American people were the most biblically literate people in the world at that time. Arguably, they were the most biblically literate generation of all history. They were...

VIDEOThey just can't get President Donald Trump out of their minds. As you can see it even extends into their coverage of Joe Biden's trip to Europe. What is interesting is the acknowledgement by even CNN that the return of President Trump to the Oval Office in 2025 is looking very likely to world leaders.

It has been brought to my attention that I made an error in my recent article titled Male Pregnancy: The Greatest Miracle of All. In that piece, I claimed that the left’s recent accomplishment of enabling men to have children was the greatest miracle because even God could not do such a thing. While making this argument, I appealed to the idea that there are some things that even God cannot do, such as creating a round cube or making one plus one equal forty-seven. I then concluded that male pregnancy falls into the same category of phenomena.A very perceptive...

As Joe Biden threatens to destroy the lives of Americans who don’t get the COVID-19 vaccine, his administration has been caught releasing thousands of COVID-positive migrants into the U.S.The Biden administration, through Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), has reportedly released more than 16,000 COVID-positive migrants into the U.S. since taking office in January. Roughly 12,000 of the infected migrants released into the U.S. were between the ages of 18 and 40, and a whopping 11,800 of those were men. The report added that none of the migrants were offered or forced to get a COVID-19 vaccine. This follows an August...

#PoopyPantsBiden #1 on Twitter, and "Let's Go Brandon" is #1 in Hip Hop. Are people starting to get the word?

Thousands of U.S. Air Force employees have refused to comply with a federal COVID-19 vaccine mandate for U.S. troops, raising concerns about the employee shortage that could result from the wave of refusals. Data from the Air Force revealed that about 96.4% of active members of the force have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, but officials warned that airmen who refuse to get fully vaccinated could face possible charges under the military justice system or they could face dismissal from service, the Washington Post reported. So far, up to 12,000 airmen have refused full vaccination. There...

WASHINGTON, Oct 30 (Reuters) - The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said on Saturday that unvaccinated foreign nationals under the age of 18 traveling to the United States by air do not have to self-quarantine upon arrival. CDC Director Rochelle Walensky on Saturday signed a revised order clarifying that foreign national children who have not been vaccinated against COVID-19 do not need to isolate for seven days upon arrival in the United States. A CDC order issued on Monday had raised alarm among some foreign travelers that their children would need to quarantine for that long after arriving....

The U.S. Army has plans to integrate unmanned turret on iconic Abrams Main Battle Tank, according to congressman Tim Ryan. Congressman Tim Ryan visited Joint Systems Manufacturing Center in Lima in August and met with men and women who manufacture the Abrams tank at the plant. According to the congressman team’s release, Ryan has been a longtime defender of the Joint Systems Manufacturing Center in Lima, most recently using his position on the powerful House Appropriations Committee to help secure $65 million to upgrade the M1 Abrams main battle tank. “The Abrams has been proudly built by Ohio workers for...

In an age of “cafeteria Catholics” who pick and choose which church doctrines they will adhere to and which they will ignore, an age where we have a Pope Francis, who would have us pray for the oceans and invites Amazonian “priests” and their fertility gods into the Vatican, it was refreshing to see a Catholic priest speak truth to power and tell a craven Catholic politician that abortion-on-demand is a moral evil opposed by the Catholic Church and to approve of it means you are unworthy of receiving the Sacrament of Holy Communion. You cannot be personally opposed to...

Just as the private jets of the global elites swarm to Davos, Switzerland, every year for the World Economic Forum, so too are they descending on Glasgow for this week’s COP26 climate conference. The Sunday Mail reports some 400 private jets are due to disgorge their cargo of world leaders and business executives for the event. In doing so, they will dump thousands of tons of CO2 into the atmosphere. Joe Biden’s Air Force One, a heavily modified Boeing 747-200, is expected to touch down in Scotland later today after the short hop from Rome – one of two identical...

Glasgow (AFP) - The years from 2015 to 2021 are on track to be the seven hottest on record, the World Meteorological Organization said on Sunday, warning that the planet was heading into "uncharted territory". The preliminary WMO state of the climate report, launched as the UN COP26 climate conference opens, said that global warming from greenhouse gas emissions threatens "far-reaching repercussions for current and future generations". “From the ocean depths to mountain tops, from melting glaciers to relentless extreme weather events, ecosystems and communities around the globe are being devastated," said United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres in a statement...

Joe Biden, his spokeswoman Jen Psaki. and others in their orbit want foreign producers to drill more fossil fuels because for some reason we don't have enough energy over here. Here's a humorous but sad statement from an "energy advisor" in the White House, as reported by the Daily Signal: Nation in ‘Energy Crisis,’ White House Adviser Says A top White House official said there was an “energy crisis” in the U.S. and urged foreign fossil-fuel producers to ramp up production to quell it. “We see this as an energy crisis because this is not just natural gas prices that...

No one has been charged in the fatal shooting, and Mary Carmack-Altwies, district attorney of Santa Fe County, New Mexico, has highlighted the complexity of the situation. "We don't know how those live rounds got there," she told CNN. "And I think that that will probably end up being kind of the linchpin for whether a decision is made about charges."
