On August 25, 2020, Kyle Rittenhouse answered the call from a former Kenosha city councilman for armed men to protect businesses that had been targeted by Antifa and BLM rioters the two previous nights. Monday, Rittenhouse goes on trial in Kenosha for killing two attackers and wounding a third that night. Rittenhouse claims self-defense. In fact, Rittenhouse has an excellent case for self-defense, but many in the media don’t want you to know that. They, along with prosecutors, have tried hard for the past year to dirty him up. Let’s briefly take a look at the case. Violent rioting had...

We just learned that the Mexican government offered visas to some in the latest caravan. This is the story: A massive caravan of thousands of migrants has rejected an offer of humanitarian visas for some of the travelers, and is continuing with its journey to the United States border.The Mexican National Institute of Migration said in a statement that it offered humanitarian visas to women and children in the caravan, but said it was rejected by leaders of the caravan, which set off from southern Mexico last week. One of the leaders told Reuters that they were distrustful of the...

Despite former President Obama’s persistent bleating, there is no such thing as “settled science.” The Earth was flat, the Sun circled our planet, and lightning was thought to be a message from Zeus until proven otherwise. The fact is, science continually changes as much of what was assumed to be true is retested and found to be faulty. In my lifetime, dentists once packed mercury-laden fillings in their patients’ teeth while bare-handed. Who knows how many young patients incurred neurological issues due to mercury exposure or how many patients caught dread diseases from the crud under dentists’ fingernails? Luckily, the...

Bezos touched down in Scotland on Sunday at Prestwick Airport in...

CNN's Jim Acosta blasted Fox News host Tucker Carlson and the Murdoch family for a new mini-series focusing on the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, a project which Acosta referred to as "proud boy porn." A trailer for the series, which debuts in three parts this week and will be streamed exclusively on Fox Nation, the company's streaming service, showed interviewees suggesting the attack on the U.S. Capitol was a "false flag operation." The trailer also shows Carlson warning viewers that the government may be waging "a war" on "patriots." "The worst part of what Tucker is doing...

“Who among you is wise and understanding? Let him show by his good behavior his deeds in the gentleness of wisdom” (James 3:13). Wisdom is the art of living life skillfully. Most philosophers throughout history have believed that if a person could acquire anything, it should be wisdom, because wisdom would allow him to obtain anything else. That philosophy matches Scripture. Proverbs 4:7 says, “Acquire wisdom; and with all your acquiring, get understanding.” Many people claim to be wise, but it’s also true that no fool in our world is a self-confessed fool—everyone believes he’s an expert. The world offers...

One of the earliest letters to the church was from the apostles to new Gentile believers, and in it, the authors said, “It seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us not to burden you with anything beyond the following requirements: You are to abstain from food sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals and from sexual immorality” (Acts 15:28-29, ESV). Rather than weight down new believers with endless rules like the Jews had, Paul simply commanded, “Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize?...

WASHINGTON — Republican Sen. Mitt Romney on Sunday defended the filibuster and blasted Democrats calling for its elimination, dismissing their latest discussion to end it in order to pass voting rights legislation as "an unserious partisan effort aimed at messaging and energizing that party's base." "The need to marshal 60 votes to end a filibuster requires compromise and middle ground. It not only empowers the minority but also has helped to keep us centered, fostering the stability and predictability essential to investment in people, in capital and in the future," Romney, a moderate Republican who represents Utah, wrote in an...

Iowa is standing up for workers who have refused to take the coronavirus vaccine on principle and paid for it by losing their jobs. A new law signed by Republican Gov. Kim Reynolds carves out an exception to the rules for individuals who claim religious or medical exemptions from COVID-19 vaccination requirements. The bill passed the Iowa House and Senate on Thursday, according to KPIC-TV. “This is a major step forward in protecting Iowans’ freedoms and their abilities to make healthcare decisions based on what’s best for themselves and their families. This legislation also gives employees the assurance that they...

With inflation at its highest point in three decades, the Federal Reserve is set this week to begin winding down the extraordinary stimulus it has given the economy since the pandemic recession struck early last year, a process that could prove to be a risky balancing act. Chair Jerome Powell has signaled that the Fed will announce after its policy meeting Wednesday that it will start paring its $120 billion in monthly bond purchases as soon as this month. Those purchases are intended to keep long-term loan rates low to encourage borrowing and spending. Once the Fed has ended its...

Joe Biden has pulled off the incredible: inherit a booming economy and bring it to a near-standstill in just nine months. When the president took office, the country was enjoying a robust V-shaped recovery,growing at better than 6%. The Federal Reserve was puffing up the money supply by $120 billion per month, consumers were sitting atop $2.5 trillion in excess savings, prices were stable and unemployment was falling fast. On Inauguration Day 1.6 million Americans received the COVID vaccine, optimism was rising and people were flush with trillions in relief funds. To say that Biden entered the Oval Office with...

Sky News host James Morrow says the Let’s Go Brandon chant is a “complete indictment” of the American media and not just a criticism of the Biden administration. Mr Morrow said many Americans no longer trust their media which has been trying very hard to cover up for Joe Biden for the past year or so. Polls in the US now show that the media is mistrusted more in the US than in just about any industrialized country.

Senator Tim Kaine (D-VA) said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that Virginia gubernatorial candidate Glenn Youngkin’s (R) campaign “hearkens back” to the days of segregation. Kaine said, “If you look at the Youngkin campaign, they’ve made it about kind of invented inflated issues like Critical Race Theory. To close their campaign with an ad featuring a parent who waged a campaign against Toni Morrison’s novel ‘Beloved,’ it’s just kind of unheard of. It’s unheard, and it hearkens back to a long tradition in Virginia history. My father-in-law was the governor who ended segregation in Virginia, integrated public schools, and...

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court on Monday rejected an appeal from a former business partner of presidential son Hunter Biden who was seeking to overturn his criminal conviction for securities fraud. As is typical, the justices did not comment in leaving in place a federal appeals court ruling that reinstated the fraud conviction of Devon Archer. A lower court judge had earlier set aside a jury verdict that found Archer guilty of fraud and ordered a new trial. Biden was not involved in the effort to defraud the Oglala Sioux Indian tribe in a scheme that involved the sale...
