Some Texas rock ’n’ roll legends known for being beer drinkers and hell raisers have partnered with a local distillery to release a boozy new commodity that’s really got some legs. Waco-based Balcones Distilling announced in early November that it is unveiling a new one-of-a-kind whiskey with collaborators and music icons ZZ Top. Dubbed Tres Hombres, in honor of the band’s first top 10 album, from 1973, the joint effort stems from a shared and prized Texas heritage and, of course, a fondness for the fiery spirit. “ZZ Top’s love of Texas runs deep, and we can’t think of a...

NEW - Sesame Street with American TV network CNN telling kids to get the #COVID19 vaccines

WASHINGTON, Tuesday, Nov. 5. The news from the fleet and the hopeful position of affairs about Gen. ROSECRANS' command have excited a general rejoicing in the city, and all are anxiously waiting to hear of the success of both. Gen. MCCLELLAN is now compelled, in consequence of his enlarged command, to remain more in the city. He has not crossed the river since the departure of Gen. SCOTT, but he is constantly engaged in attending to his duties here. Major-Gen. HALLOCK arrived in the city this morning, and is now stopping at Willard's. He reported himself early to Gen. MCCLELLAN,...

This is your annual reminder to turn your clocks back tonight - although an hour seems somehow grossly inadequate. While some would have it turn back 20, 30…50 years, I’d settle for pre-COVID days. Ode to the COVID yearsBack before it seemed so dark so much of the time; before the Great Pretenders, Joe and the Ho, began their…whatever we’re calling it these days. But shoot! You do have to give them credit for knowing how to make hay while the sun shines, as they say. Just like mushy-headed Joey and addle-brained Pelosi told us they would, they herded enough...

In a 2015 study published in Sleep Medicine, researchers compared the rate of strokes during the week after daylight saving to the rate 2 weeks before or 2 weeks after. They found the rate was 8% higher the first 2 days after the shift, and people with cancer were 25% more likely to have a stroke than during other times of year. People over 65 were 20% more likely. A 2019 report found a higher risk of heart attack after both time changes, but particularly during daylight saving. Interruptions to circadian rhythm can also impair focus and judgment. A 2020...

White House Deputy Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Friday that it is "misinformation" to use the term "vaccine mandate" when referring to the Biden administration's "vaccine requirement" for private companies, which states that employers with at least 100 employees must require their workers to get vaccinated or undergo weekly coronavirus testing. The policy, along with two other Biden vaccine mandates that will impact federal contractors and about 17 million health care workers, is scheduled to take effect Jan. 4. Certain medical and religious exemptions will be granted. There is a Dec. 8 compliance deadline for workers employed directly by the...

Another round of the United Nations’ (UN) Climate Change Conferences are currently underway in Glasgow, Scotland. Informally known as COP26, the annual conferences pull together world leaders under the UN’s Framework Convention on Climate Change. These annual conferences can be rather far reaching, with the 2015 Paris Climate Accords (or Paris Agreement) being negotiated during COP21. It’s another round of hypocrisy as world leaders fly in on private jets and chartered aircraft, only to be greeted by a swarm of fossil fuel-burning automobiles in large motorcades – all to assist the leaders in their travels to discuss climate change mitigation...

Op-Ed: Fostering Fairness in Pennsylvania’s Election Operations Posted on Nov 04, 2021 An Op-Ed by Senator Lisa Baker (R-20) and Senator Kristin Phillips-Hill (R-28) “Elections shall be free and equal.” That’s what Article I, Section 5 of the Pennsylvania Constitution declares. That bedrock of democracy was obviously ignored with the recent discovery that millions of private dollars were directed to only a few of the Commonwealth’s counties for the stated purpose of helping to fund 2020 election operations. A hearing held by the Senate Special Committee on Election Integrity earlier this year initially brought to light that, in addition to...

Newsmax, the conservative news outlet, said it plans to implement a coronavirus vaccine requirement for its employees. According to Mediaite, which obtained a copy of an email sent to employees, Newsmax told personnel they have to be fully vaccinated by Jan. 4 or subject themselves to weekly testing. The email noted that the company is implementing the mandate due to Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) rules, the outlet reported. The Biden administration published the mandate on Thursday, setting up the January vaccination deadline. The mandate applies to companies with at least 100 employees. “To ensure that we are in...

Ninety-one people were killed and over 100 wounded in the capital of Sierra Leone on Friday when a fuel tanker exploded following a collision, the central morgue and local authorities said. The government has not yet confirmed the death toll, but the manager of the central state morgue in Freetown said it had received 91 bodies following the explosion. A further 100 casualties have been admitted for treatment at hospitals and clinics across the capital, deputy health minister Amara Jambai told Reuters. Victims included people who had flocked to collect fuel leaking from the ruptured vehicle, Yvonne Aki-Sawyerr, mayor of...

Doctors tell One America News they are being threatened and silenced for raising questions about the effectiveness of coronavirus vaccines. One America’s Pearson Sharp sat down with Dr. Kirk Milhoan, a pediatric heart specialist, who explains the vaccine represents a greater danger to our children’s health than COVID itself. https://www.oann.com/doctor-warns-covid-vaccines-are-dangerous-for-children/

I think it’s fair to say that I’m on “information overload,” with a stream of news stories I must read and research coming in 24/7. But I’m here to tell you the truth. Unlike the mainstream media, I have nothing to gain by spreading lies and propaganda. I’m here to tell you the truth of what’s really happening as most of America slumbers. But most of America is in for a very rude awakening, and it’s coming upon us faster than we realize. If you don’t yet see where this is all heading, hopefully you will by the time I’m...

Over the last few years, Big Tech has unleashed many different attacks on WND, the pioneering Christian journalism organization now in its 25th year. From classifying WND as an "extremist group," to writing WND out of its search algorithms, to de-monetizing WND's YouTube channel, to confining WND to "Facebook jail" for over a year, the attacks never end. However, as of this week, Big Tech has upped its game: Google has now officially de-monetized WND – permanently. That could end up cutting WND's online ad revenue roughly in half, since not only does de-monetization mean the removal of all Google...

Pray For The Peace of JerusalemEzra7:27-2827 Praise be to the Lord, the God of our ancestors, who has put it into the king’s heart to bring honor to the house of the Lord in Jerusalem in this way 28 and who has extended his good favor to me before the king and his advisers and all the king’s powerful officials. Because the hand of the Lord my God was on me, I took courage and gathered leaders from Israel to go up with me._______________________________________________________God Bless America.ML/LTOS

“If I forget you, O Jerusalem, may my right hand cease to function. May my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth if I do not remember you, if I do not exalt Jerusalem as my greatest joy!” (Psalm 137:5-6) As much as Jews and Christians have in common, there’s no place that’s more central to Jews and Christians than Jerusalem. It’s the city of the Kings, Prophets and where Jesus preached, worshipped, and was crucified. As central as Jerusalem is to our history and our faith, Jerusalem is facing a threat to be redivided today, a threat to...

Eight deaths have been confirmed and multiple people have been injured at Travis Scott’s Astroworld Fest

The American system of justice is predicated on some basic, easily understandable principles: an individual has the presumption of innocence; an individual has a right to face his/her accuser; an individual has the right to trial in front of a jury of his/her peers, and guilt is only established in a criminal trial when there is no reasonable doubt. And under tort law, a person or company is supposed to be subject to liability only for wrongfully causing harm. Pretty simple. If you wrongfully cause harm, you become liable for damages to those who you have been proven to harm....

Join with fellow FREEPERS across the world to pray for AMERICA: For those in Authority in Government, Family, Military, Business, Agri-Business, Healthcare, Education, Churches, Technology, and the Media. I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone: for kings and all those in authority that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. (1 Timothy 2:1-2) THE REBORN NEED TO STAND UP FOR THE UNBORN. WHAT SAY YOU?

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) has a degree in economics from Boston University, yet she still misunderstands the most basic of economic principles: supply and demand. According to Ocasio-Cortez, the solution to across-the-board, runaway inflation is massive government spending. Per a recent tweet from AOC, “If you are worried about inflation, it’s important to understand why it’s happening: supply chain, labor, and healthcare complications. We can address these issues by investing in infrastructure, wages, healthcare & benefits. AKA signing BBB/BIF into law as absolute, bare minimum.” AOC would like for you to believe that all the economic problems that are stifling...
