To most readers of this column, the question is absurd. The reason is not because the question is, in fact, absurd; it is because most readers of this column are conservative, and many are religious. Am I implying that most leftists do not believe stealing is wrong? Yes, I am. As incredible as this assertion is to just about all religious people and virtually all conservatives, most leftists do not believe stealing is wrong. Since I always draw a distinction between those on the left and liberals, let me add that I suspect most liberals think stealing is wrong. But...

I have been very unhappy at work lately. I don't want a pity party, but my superior, stated that she wants a written two week notice. I am not going to write a standard "I'm putting in my two weeks notice", but I wish to convey my discontent at current management. I have worked there for almost 4 years and the last six months of 2019 were the most enjoyable of my work life. The pandemic changed everything.

The group New York Citizen Audit Research team has come up with another bombshell. Final vote counts derived from county records, published figures on the Secretary of State’s website, and information derived from the state Board of Elections, do not agree. For example, Dutchess county. According to the Secretary of State’s website, 151,889 voters cast a vote in the 2020 election. The Dutchess county voter rolls reflect 152,412 voters. The state BOE rolls have a count of 155,412 votes. Meanwhile, Dutchess County’s official certification of the election counts 151,122 votes. This is a range of 4,290 votes. It may not...

Hilaria Baldwin is "very worried" about her husband Alec Baldwin. The actor, 63, is "haunted" by the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, who died last month on the set of the movie Rust after Alec set off a gun that should not have contained a real bullet, a source tells PEOPLE. "Hilaria is very worried about him," the source says. "He is not really sleeping and just haunted by Halyna's death."

[Catholic Caucus] Why the Pope Won't Resign Now “Will Pope Francis resign?” This is the very direct question posed by Le Figaro’s Vaticanist, Jean-Marie Guénois, on his blog “God only knows” of September 19, 2021.Among the elements that allow us to legitimately wonder about Francis’s possible resignation, the French journalist notes the facts observed during the Pope's trip to Hungary and Slovakia, from September 12-15, 2021:“The ‘outing’ this summer by Pope Francis, who had colon surgery on July 4, seems a closed episode. While he traveled to Hungary and Slovakia from September 12 to 15 with his personal doctor,...

Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) on Monday refused to sign off on a $1.75 trillion social spending and climate measure at the heart of President Biden’s economic agenda, throwing a wrench into plans for a swift House vote this week.Manchin accused the Democratic authors of the ambitious framework of using “shell games and budget gimmicks” to mask “the real cost” of the legislation, which he said could wind up being “twice as high” as advertised if its programs are extended. He called media reports asserting that he privately supports the White House framework as “mischaracterizations” and warned that he would not...

“Ireland now has the highest number of patients in hospital with Covid-19 since March, despite over 91% of the population over-12 being vaccinated – the highest jab rate in the EU.

Former President Ronald Reagan once famously said: “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.”Notwithstanding the Cold War, Reagan's words may have been considered somewhat hyperbolic at the time. Today, they are especially appropriate.While painting a dresser on Sunday, I listened to a replay...

On October 31st we revealed how an investigation of data found in the USA’s Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) has revealed that extremely high numbers of adverse reactions and deaths have been reported against specific lot numbers of the Covid-19 vaccines several times, meaning deadly batches of the experimental injections have now been identified.The investigation uncovered several shocking findings, including that 100% of deaths reported to VAERS as adverse reactions to the Covid-19 injections were caused by just 5% of the batches produced.Dr Mike Yeadon, former Vice-President of Pfizer, has detailed his thoughts on the conclusions of the investigation...

The United States’ ability to develop military technologies is being hamstrung by a “brutal” bureaucracy with a risk-averse culture which is preventing it from adequately countering China’s arms development, according to the Pentagon’s second-highest-ranking officer.“The pace [China is] moving and the trajectory that they’re on will surpass Russia and the United States if we don’t do something to change it,” said Gen. John Hyten, outgoing vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, at a Defense Writers Group meeting on Oct. 28.“It will happen.”Bureaucracy Stunting Military DevelopmentHyten, who is soon due to retire, lamented the slow turnaround time for research...

On this date in 1924, diplomatic maneuvering, oil patch politics, and a dead American consul put two Iranian teenagers in front of a firing squad. Largely forgotten today, the affair which prompted their execution helped Cossack commander Reza Khan‘s ongoing consolidation of power, culminating in another year’s time with his conquest of the Persian throne itself. By the summer of 1924, he was by title Prime Minister and his domestic opponents could read the writing on the wall: he had made a premature bid for formal executive authority in 1923 only to be rebuffed.* At the same time, he was...

The only Food and Drug Administration vaccine advisory panel member to abstain from a major vote this week that essentially authorized Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine for children as young as 5 said he did so because of limited safety and efficacy data.All 17 others voted to advise the administration, or the FDA, to authorize the jab for children between the ages of 5 and 11. The agency already supported doing so and is expected to formalize the authorization soon. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention would then decide which children should get the shot.The vote was preceded by nearly eight...

AT&T Corporation has created a racial reeducation program that promotes the idea that “American racism is a uniquely white trait” and boosts left-wing causes such as “reparations,” “defund police,” and “trans activism.” I have obtained a cache of internal documents about the company’s initiative, called Listen Understand Act, which is based on the core principles of critical race theory, including “intersectionality,” “systemic racism,” “white privilege,” and “white fragility.” CEO John Stankey launched the program last year and, subsequently, has told employees that private corporations such as AT&T have an “obligation to engage on this issue of racial injustice” and push...
