Hilarious parody of a gender fluid soy boy. This'll be a classic.

The RealClearPolitics and FiveThirtyEight presidential approval trackers both say the same thing: President Joe Biden has never been more unpopular with voters than he is right now, and he is growing more unpopular every day. Asked to explain why Biden is so unpopular on Meet the Press today, Democratic pollster Cornell Belcher noted that much of the slide in Biden’s approval has come from young Democrats who “took to the streets and marched a year ago” and aren’t interested in “roads and bridges.” “They were marching for justice and racial equality. So we have to act on that.” Is that...

After announcing on Friday that he would not seek reelection to Congress in 2022, Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill., said Sunday he, Rep. Liz Cheney and "a few others" are the only House Republicans "telling the truth" about the 2020 election and its aftermath. "You can fight to try to tell the truth, you can fight against the cancer in the Republican Party of lies of conspiracy of dishonesty," Kinzinger told ABC "This Week" anchor George Stephanopoulos exclusively in his first interview since the announcement. "There are about 190 people in the Republican Party that aren't going to say a word,...

The app is pretty to easy to use. When you open it up, there are offerings from restaurants in your area with different pickup times and prices. Most of the options that I’ve seen in my area are so-called “surprise bags,” a mix of items that will remain a mystery to you until you pick up. You have to be OK with fixed pick-up times, a mystery assortment of goods, and the chance that you might end up with nothing every once in a while. I wouldn’t rely on it for my weekly meal planning, but I’m not the kind...

One of the Nicest Surprises of living around the year with the Church is to find that Halloween is part of it. Not that the Mass of the day has mention of black cats, or the Divine Office of witches, but for so long Halloween meant nothing but parties and vandalism that when someone first proposed that it came out of the liturgy, I asked: "Are you sure?" You still hear people doubt it, even when you show them that Halloween is All-Hallows'-Eve which is the night-before-All-Saints'- Day. Some tell me they understand that Halloween pranks were a post-Reformation contribution...

For many children in the United States, Halloween is their favorite holiday of the year. This is primarily the case because of all the candy children get to feast on after going trick-or-treating. Interestingly, while this secular holiday has become associated with feasting on candy, it was originally a day of fasting in the Catholic Church. November 1 is All Saints Day in the Catholic Church, and is usually a holy day of obligation. (There is no obligation this year for Catholics in the US, as it falls on a Monday.) All Saints Day is a solemnity, one of the...

While he supports the COVID-19 vaccine and encourages people to be inoculated, Virginia GOP candidate Glenn Youngkin on Newsmax said vaccine mandates will be out of his state if he is elected governor Tuesday night. "I've been pretty transparent in my view on the vaccine: First of all, personally, I've gotten the vaccine; my family has gotten the vaccine; I have encouraged people who can get the vaccine where it's approved to get it, but I will not mandate the vaccine, and I don't think schools should, particularly for young children," Youngkin told "Dick Morris Democracy" this weekend. "I think...

A video of a scuffle on a bus in Antwerp has surfaced online showing an elderly woman apparently thrown off the bus following a fight. Police are investigating the incident. In the minute-long clip, a woman with a shopping trolley is seen on a bus, involved in an apparent heated argument with a group of people. Laughter and the crying of a child is heard in the background while someone calls the woman a racist. The video then cuts off, and continues with the woman screaming on the ground outside the bus, her head covered in blood. She holds on...

Explanation: Is our universe haunted? It might look that way on this dark matter map. The gravity of unseen dark matter is the leading explanation for why galaxies rotate so fast, why galaxies orbit clusters so fast, why gravitational lenses so strongly deflect light, and why visible matter is distributed as it is both in the local universe and on the cosmic microwave background. The featured image from the American Museum of Natural History's Hayden Planetarium Space Show Dark Universe highlights one example of how pervasive dark matter might haunt our universe. In this frame from a detailed computer simulation,...

Secretary of State Antony Blinken gives insight into the department’s efforts in getting Americans out of Afghanistan, as well as current talks regarding the Iran nuclear deal. Blinken has continued to defend the Biden administration’s efforts to evacuate Americans and allies out of Afghanistan. During a series of interviews on Sunday, Blinken claimed about 340 Americans have been evacuated from Afghanistan since Aug. 31. This comes as the Biden administration has come under immense scrutiny over the botched withdrawal and has been pressed to do more to help those in danger in the Taliban-ruled country. Blinken stressed his department has...

Above all, the unvaccinated are held accountable: If the burden on the intensive care units increases, they are threatened with lockdown.Corona hammer in Austria: If the intensive care beds in the hospitals are 30 percent full of Covid patients, unvaccinated people have to go into lockdown!

“Whenever a government claims to have the people’s interests at heart, you need to think again. In the entire history of mankind there has never been a political elite sincerely concerned about the wellbeing of regular people. What makes any of us think that it is different now.” – Christine Anderson MEPIn Strasbourg, on 20 October 2021, four Members of the European Parliament (“MEPs”) held a press conference: “Defending fundamental rights by opposing the misuse of Digital Green Certificate”. The four MEPs were: Christine Anderson (Germany, ID), Francesca Donato (Italy, NI), Ivan Vilibor Sinčić (Croatia, NI), and Cristian Terheş (Romania,...

A Virginia mother told a local school board last week that her six year-old daughter had been told she was 'born evil' for being white during a history lesson in scandal-hit Loudoun County. The unidentified woman claims she moved her daughter out of the district because of the school curriculum. She blamed former Loudoun County Public Schools Superintendent Eric Williams; his successor, Dr. Scott Ziegler, and the school board for the alleged slur. ‘We had specifically moved them out of LCPS due to the swift and uncompromising political agenda of Superintendents Williams, Ziegler, and the school board had forced upon...

Fox News host Chris Wallace repeatedly questioned Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) on Sunday’s broadcast of “Fox News Sunday” for criticizing government debt but supporting former President Donald Trump’s tax cuts. On President Biden’s build Back Better plan, Scott said, “This has got to end this is this is causing inflation. I mean, this is hurting the poor families. This is not hurting the rich. It’s hurting families like mine growing up that had to struggle to put food on the table. This is ridiculous inflation. Solve that. We have to live within our means like every family does.

TUSCALOOSA, AL—The leadership of 4th Baptist Church in Tuscaloosa has just approved baptism "boosters" for their entire congregation starting at 5 years old. Elders believe these boosters will be at least 70% effective at saving those who weren't quite saved after their first and second baptisms. "We recommend people attend this year's week-long revival and get their boosters," said head pastor Dale Smithers. "Sometimes the first baptism doesn't quite do the trick and it's always best to be safe! AAA-MEN? AMEN!" Sources say teens are best protected against eternal damnation in the lake of fire, as they routinely get booster...

A man who was dressed as Batman villain the Joker has been arrested by police for attempted murder after injuring 17 people in a knife rampage onboard a Tokyo commuter train. Witnesses described how the 24-year-old attacker stabbed 10 people and poured what is believed to have been oil around the carriage before lighting it on fire, causing panic among passengers. It was also reported hydrochloric acid was thrown during the attack, which occurred on the Keio express line bound for Shinjuku, the world's busiest rail station.

Pro tip for the pro-abortion crowd. When discussing abortion, don't make analogies to ax murders. If you do, most people will likely think of what happens to the unborn babies whose lives are taken. Failed NYC mayoral candidate and former MSNBC contributor Maya Wiley, appearing on Jonathan Capehart's MSNBC Sunday morning, nevertheless went that repulsive route.In a strained attempt to connect current events with Halloween, she said, apropos of the Supreme Court arguments tomorrow on the Texas abortion law: "It is kind of like, since we're approaching Halloween, so you know in scary movies when the scary music starts building,...

Former NFL quarterback and original anthem protester Colin Kaepernick compared the NFL Combine process to a slave auction in Netflix documentary series chronicling his life experiences. In the series Colin In Black & White, which Kaepernick narrates, he appears in a scene where he talks about NFL prospects being “poked, prodded, and examined” for defects before the NFL Draft. The players at the “combine” then leave the NFL field and enter a mid-1800’s slave auction where white landowners examine slaves for purchase. In the scene, Kaepernick says this is how “they” establish a “power dynamic.” The scene closes with the...

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said Sunday she has tested positive for COVID-19. "On Wednesday, in coordination with senior leadership at the White House and the medical team, I made the decision not to travel on the foreign trip with the President due to a family emergency, which was members of my household testing positive for COVID-19," Psaki said in a statement. "Since then, I have quarantined and tested negative (via PCR) for COVID on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday," she added. "However, today, I tested positive for COVID. While I have not had close contact in person with...
