CDC Director Rochelle Walensky suffered an awkward Freudian slip during a live interview, inadvertently mentioning deaths from Covid-19 vaccines before quickly correcting herself. The telling slip of the tongue was caught during an interview with PBS News Hour last month. “…Our death rates are too high, here’s what we know,” Walensky teed up her next statement. “We know that people who are dying from this vacc-,” she said before shaking her head and correcting herself, “from this, uh, disease are 11-fold more likely to pass…” Are the vast numbers of unreported deaths from the vaccines beginning to weigh on Walensky’s...

Pray For The Peace of JerusalemNehemiah 4:4-64 Hear us, our God, for we are despised. Turn their insults back on their own heads. Give them over as plunder in a land of captivity. 5 Do not cover up their guilt or blot out their sins from your sight, for they have thrown insults in the face of[a] the builders. 6 So we rebuilt the wall till all of it reached half its height, for the people worked with all their heart._______________________________________________________God Bless America.ML/LTOS

Words coming from the heart of what many of us believe to be the reviving Roman Empire sounded to be both prologue and prescience. They were spoken by a German representative to the European Union’s parliament. Christine Andersen, speaking while being interviewed by Steve Bannon of The War Room podcast, gave an eerie analysis of the mask mandates being issued by leaders around the world. She compared what is going on in today’s world to things going on during the time leading to the rise of the Third Reich. She indicated much of the program involving attempts to gain complete...

VIDEOIn this time of rising food inflation it was refreshing to find this great deal. Every year leading into Thanksgiving there is a sale on frozen young turkey at Publix supermarkets. Fortunately the sale was continued this year as you can see with 49 cent per pound turkey. I bought two turkeys as you can see in the video with one of them destined to be my smoked Thanksgiving turkey. I plan to buy two more so I will have three in stock in my freezer. Hey, in these times it is good to have a supply of cheap protein.

Last week, the Biden administration announced the first-ever “National Strategy on GenderEquity and Equality,” an “ambitious agenda” that aims to “close pernicious gender gaps.” Although it laments that women are barred from achieving like men, Joe Biden did not hand the presidency to Kamala. Instead, the strategy suggests that more welfare, more police (yep), and bigger federal bureaucracies in the workplace and in education should solve the problem. Don’t buy into the hype. The government often exacerbates legitimate crises — COVID-19, terrorism, poverty — to justify preferred policy measures. But blatant sexism is a dying brand, not an urgent crisis....

So inflation is back, and thus TWiP will have to raise its prices, or at least its picture and meme count, to adjust. Meanwhile, the steady deflation of the Biden presidency continues. And the latest UN climate summit—COP 26—has adjourned with an important agreement . . . to meet again next year! Because the time for words is over, but there’s always time for more meetings where everyone says the time for words is over—again.

A former “Apprentice" contestant who accused former President Donald Trump of sexual assault dropped her defamation lawsuit against him Friday. Summer Zervos sued the then-president in New York state court in 2017, saying he damaged her reputation when he said she and other women alleging sexual assault and harassment were making things up.

Well we made it to another Caturday.My mood is somewhere between this:and this:“Go ahead, make my day, punk.”…with a definite prejudice towards the racist cat on the bottom. It’s not my fault the insanity continues unabated. So I leave you with this:What under any other circumstance would be a rhetorical question now passes for legitimate cross-examination in show trials.When I look at that supercilious soy-boy prosecutor, Binger, all I see is another politically ambitious hack looking to become a household name in order to advance his career. His ambition vastly outstrips his skill, knowledge or integrity; in other words he’s...

To say that modern conservatism has failed egregiously in our school systems would be a monumental understatement. As a survivor of the Nebraska Public K-12 education system, I witnessed firsthand how deep and depraved the left was willing to be to win the war for the most vulnerable minds imaginable: children and young adults. In 2017, my high school paper asked me to write a piece regarding race relations. As a seventeen-year-old, I recognized what we now know to be the Marxist group, Black Lives Matter, were a violent and hostile group of radicals who sought to tear at the...

Yet for all of his attempts at salesmanship, officials acknowledge that for the benefits of the infrastructure bill to be felt, the money must be distributed effectively and not go to waste. Biden said he would name the individual responsible for overseeing the implementation at some point next week. He recalled his own assignment during the years he served as vice president ensuring the 2009 stimulus bill was implemented smoothly.

To save the reader the suspense, it doesn’t get any better from here. This is communism. This is what we reviled when presented in the Soviet Union and China. The sense that the state is an everyday concern is now a fact. Americans have been slipped into that cocoon of communism inch by inch. While myself and others have warned about it, read with dread the words of Solzhenitsyn and presented each ratchet click of authoritarian rule to our readers, it’s here. What are BLM and Antifa if not government thugs unleashed on patriots, seemingly untouchable, while every minor infraction...

As has become the norm for 2021, October gun sales in 2021 were the second-highest on record. Less commonly, the total NICS background checks were also the second-highest October on record. There is a significant difference between the NICS checks and gun sales. Gun sales have been running at about half of NICS checks for a while, but in October, they were 54% NICS checks. What seems to have happened is permit and permit rechecks have fallen off a bit. In October, the number of gun sales, calculated as handguns + long guns + other guns + 2.5 x multiple...

Over the years, mostly in connection with the Trump/Russia collusion hoax, I have had many occasions to cover what I have considered to be wrongful — indeed clearly criminal — conduct by the FBI. To give just a few examples, there was the 2016 application for a FISA warrant against Carter Page (three times renewed) based on knowingly false information; the 2017 set-up of Michael Flynn; and then-Director Comey’s blatant lies to President Trump in early 2017 about what the FBI was up to. Or go to this link for a long litany of wrongful FBI and DOJ conduct. The...

The upcoming Mississippi case that will be heard at the Supreme Court is an opportunity for us as a nation to take a saner look at abortion in America and the alternatives to it. There is freedom in life, whereas abortion offers only death -- to unborn children in the womb, and to any culture that promotes it. One Saturday morning, pre-COVID, I was standing in the communion line at Old St. Patrick's Cathedral in lower Manhattan. It was one of the monthly Witnesses for Life -- after Mass was celebrated, there was a procession down the block to pray...

Have you noticed how Joe Biden says he wants to lower gas prices, so he cancels the Keystone pipeline? He wants to lower unemployment, so he pays people not to work? He wants to beat inflation, so the Fed prints more money? Biden is President Perverse. The Cobra Effect is economics slang for "perverse incentives." If you give your kid money every time the kid misbehaves, that's a perverse incentive. Every parent knows that mandates are perverse. You don't give your teenager money to buy cocaine. (Or maybe Joe does.) Conservatives wonder if Joe’s brain is beyond its sell-by date,...

Project Veritas's James O'Keefe told Fox News he was 'in a state of shock' when the FBI raided his apartment over the alleged theft of Ashley Biden's diary, calling the raid "an attack on the First Amendment by the Department of Justice." He also questioned "what world" we're living in when the president's FBI and Department of Justice investigate a missing diary. Now, J. Edgar Hoover was hardly squeaky clean in the partisan political shenanigans of his time, especially those by LBJ. But he always recognized our nation’s genuine enemies. At the time, our crude and prehistoric FBI relied heavily...

WASHINGTON, Nov 10 (Reuters) - Ten Republican state attorneys general sued on Wednesday to stop the Biden administration's requirement that millions of U.S. health workers get vaccinated against the coronavirus, saying it would worsen staff shortages. President Joe Biden, a Democrat, said last Thursday he will enforce the mandate starting Jan. 4. The attorneys general of Missouri, Nebraska, Arkansas, Kansas, Iowa, Wyoming, Alaska, South Dakota, North Dakota, and New Hampshire jointly filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri in St. Louis. "Placing this additional mandate on healthcare facilities and employees will exacerbate this...

And the New York Times happily abets the attack on an organization that is currently suing it. This is banana republic tyranny. Project Veritas uses hidden camera techniques to expose corruption, dishonesty, anarchy, and totalitarian impulses in American institutions. Given the times in which we live, that means Project Veritas is usually exposing leftists and their organizations. It’s almost certainly not a coincidence, then, that the FBI engaged in a series of early-morning raids against Project Veritas employees and its founder, James O’Keefe, ostensibly because, a year ago, they possessed, but refused to use (and gave to law enforcement), a...

In a decision written with rare clarity, an exceptional grasp of facts, and the cool, rational application of law, the 5th Circuit completely destroys the mandate. Despite (or perhaps because of) a long career spent reading judicial decisions, I really hate reading cases. A stellar exception arose on Friday, when the Fifth Circuit issued its decision in BST Holdings, L.L.C. et al. v. OSHA, reaffirming the initial stay it granted when multiple entities and individuals challenged OSHA’s recently issued vaccine mandate. In one brutal paragraph after another, the Court rips apart the mandate, citing law, facts, OSHA precedent, and even...

Up until Friday, the Kyle Rittenhouse trial was very clear: Easily understood videos and witness testimony (including testimony from the prosecution witnesses) showed that Kyle, despite trying hard to avoid conflict, was attacked by a crazed child rapist, whom Kyle shot as the rapist was grabbing Kyle’s gun, at which point a mob went after Kyle. He then shot and killed a domestic abuser trying to bash his head in with a skateboard, and shot and wounded a felon aiming a loaded, illegal gun at his head. On Thursday, however, the court allowed prosecutors to enter into evidence a fuzzy...
