So far, in only nine months, the Biden war machine has inflicted almost incomprehensible damage on the American people. Unbelievable. That's really the only way to describe the never-ending onslaught of bad news and incredible occurrences that are exploding in our daily lives. Just when you think it couldn't get any worse, that they can't be serious, that it seems as if the "Biden" administration's sole goal is to make each person's life as wretchedly painful as possible, BAM! — another incredible misery warhead detonates on our reality. So far, in only nine months, the Biden war machine has inflicted...

Source: Photo/PrincessBlanding.comImagine you are a hardcore liberal Democrat or independent in Virginia. Voting for the buoyant Glenn Youngkin is a non-starter. He’s a Republican, a conservative, and a multi-millionaire who made his fortune as a 25-year executive at the Carlyle Group, a private-equity house. Youngkin served as Carlyle’s co-CEO. “Vote for a CEO in finance? Not bloody likely!” you might think. And then there’s Terry McAuliffe. Yes, he’s a Democrat, but Smarmy is his middle name. He spent much of his career as the bag man for the Clinton crime family. He oozes shadiness. And then there’s his goofy dance,...

Americans’ opinions on the U.S. economy have soured noticeably in the past month, a new poll finds, with nearly half expecting economic conditions to worsen in the next year. Just 35% of Americans now call the national economy good, while 65% call it poor, according to a poll by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. That’s a dip since September, when 45% of Americans called the economy good, and a return to about where views of the nation’s economy stood in January and February, when the pandemic was raging across the nation. The poll shows a majority of...

On Sunday, a shocking new NBC Newspollwas announced by Chuck Todd, anchor ofMeet the Press.It showed that 71% of Americans believe the country is on the “wrong track” and only 22% believe it is moving in the right direction. These are horrible numbers for the Biden administration and Democrats who control both Congress and the White House. The NBC newspollalso showed that Republicans were trusted over Democrats by more than double digit margins in a wide range of areas such as handling the economy, inflation, crime, national security, border security, and “getting things done.” These results reflect the reality of...

I think we can all agree that it’s been a rough past 12 months? A year ago on election day, Donald Trump supporters went to bed with solid leads in key states, hopeful of another presidential victory that would have somewhat held the leftist tide at bay for four more years. We woke up only to watch those leads slip away in a tsunami of mail-in ballots and suspicious vote counts in just enough places to deliver a ‘victory’ to Joe Biden. A few months later, the unfortunate events of January 6 - one day after Democrats took back the...

The Lepanto Institute released a new video report, exposing the celebration and promotion of militant communists in a Vatican event initiated by Pope Francis. The report focuses on the organizations and speakers that were celebrated in a video produced by the Vatican for the fourth annual World Meeting of Popular Movements (WMPM). According to the WMPM website, the purpose of the meeting "is to create an 'encounter' between Church leadership and grassroots organizations working to address the 'economy of exclusion and inequality' by working for structural changes that promote social, economic and racial justice." But many of the organizations participating...

At a telephone town hall on Tuesday, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) argued that COVID-19 came from a lab in Wuhan. YouTube Video approximate length 4:32 min.

Joe Biden has been caught red handed with what appears to be a detailed pre-approved list of reporters he’s allowed to call upon while taking questions after the G20 summit in Rome. The president has been known to only call upon reporters his team pre-approved, however today’s press conference showed images of the list with photos of the reporters. He told the media “I’m happy to take some questions” and then grabbed his list and said he’s been “told to start with AP, Zeke Miller.” President Biden has copped intense backlash for failing to front the media by either walking...

The cities are devolving into chaos, and perhaps that’s good – people too dumb to learn from experience or from those who know better have to learn from something, and if that’s pain, well, pain’s a great teacher. In Philadelphia, some troubled youth who was illegally in this country, but had been let go on previous occasions post-interaction with the local gendarmes, decided to woo a local woman he met on a train the old-fashioned way, by threats and violence. The other passengers reacted as one might expect in a Democrat-run metropolis, and whipped out their iPhones to record the...

Democrats have screwed up everything — stop voting for them! Effective immediately, Americans can take a concrete step to save this country: Stop voting Democratic. From the West Wing to the West Coast, the Democratic Party has devolved into a clear and present danger to this republic. It is virtually impossible to identify a realm in which Democrats are wreaking anything but havoc, division and devastation.

If you’ve watched Virginia gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe lately, you may be guessing that he’s a pretty mean-spirited, self-centered, short-tempered jerk, who never should be allowed anywhere near political power. Now, you don’t need to guess. In a 2007 autobiography, McAuliffe freely admitted facts showing that he is quite possibly the most selfish, self-centered, unkind man in America. In the years leading up to 2007, McAuliffe was a massively successful real estate investor and home developer. Starting in 2009, he began to invest in “green” auto technology. He ended up being investigated for visa fraud in connection with 32 wealthy...

Thirty years ago, I was hiking alone on a section of the Appalachian Trail known as "Rocky Top" when I encountered two stocky young men. The thought occurred to me that they could easily kill me, toss my body in the brush, and get away scot-free. Whether the thought occurred to either of them, I will never know. I passed them by with a brief nod and moved on quickly to the turn-off leading to my parked car. But I remained troubled, and remain so today, by the fact that I had been so completely at risk. I had been...

Cynics smile before they say, "Perception is reality." What we see must be true because we see it! If we don't see it, then it cannot be real. Anyone who has ever used Photoshop knows that "seeing is believing" is false, just as misleading as expecting politicians to do what they promise. The mainstream (complicit) media are the worst offenders. They believe they control reality by determining what the public sees or doesn't see. In a recent Wall Street Journal op-ed, Daniel Henninger wrote that Democrats offer the public "alternative realities," AKA lies, as accurate and true. Mainstream media such...

Before parents consent to vaccinate their children against COVID, basic medical ethics requires that they be informed of how safe the vaccine is. Yet in a shocking on-video admission, Dr. Eric Ruben, an advisory committee member to the FDA, said this about the COVID vaccine in children five to eleven during an official FDA hearing: “We’re never going to learn about how safe the vaccine is until we start giving it. That’s just the way it goes.” No, Dr. Ruben, that isn’t “the way it goes.” American children are not experimental subjects. You could and should have demanded more safety...

ROME — President Biden sought to reverse key policies and approaches of former president Donald Trump during this weekend’s summit of the Group of 20, and attempted to ensure those reversals would stay in place even if there is a change in American leadership.... ...“The United States of America is the most critical part of this entire agenda,” Biden said at a Sunday news conference, responding to a suggestion that the U.S. return to global leadership remains in doubt. “Everyone sought me out...." ...But Biden’s top advisers acknowledged that world leaders approached the talks with a concern that Trump, or...

A Loudoun County, Virginia, mom said at a school board meeting this month that she pulled her children from the public school system after her 6-year-old asked her if she was "born evil" because she’s white. "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 us. First, it was in the early spring of 2020 when my six-year-old somberly came to me and asked me if she was born evil because she was a white person. Something she learned in a history...

Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki calls it “World War III” — an initiation of hostilities by the European Union to which his government will respond by blocking all business in Brussels. Strong language, you might think. Then again, if World War I and World War II taught Poles anything, it was the value of national independence. The dispute between the EU and Poland is about sovereignty, pure and simple. Can a country be in the EU and remain self-governing? Eurocrats say it cannot, and the signs are that they will get their way... ...Poland’s judges do not deny that EU...

The Taliban has shown its support for anti-climate change efforts, calling for international aid to help complete environmental projects in Afghanistan. Citing a need to protect the country’s ‘fragile climate’, Taliban spokesman Suhail Shaheen said ‘tremendous work’ was needed to help Afghanistan become greener. Mr Shaheen said: ‘Afghanistan has a fragile climate. There is need for tremendous work.’ Relief agencies have warned that a drought in Afghanistan, which UN scientists say has been worsened by climate change, could force 22 million into 'acute food insecurity'. Writing on Twitter, he said: ‘The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan is committed to providing security...
