US will now establish woke task force to RENAME any federal lands deemed to have racist names like Squaw Peak in Utah and Chinaman's Gulch in Colorado The US Department of Interior is creating a new task force to identify federal lands that contain slurs or derogatory terms and rename them, mirroring changes already made by sports franchises and private businesses in recent years. The Derogatory Geographic Names Task Force will include representatives from federal land management agencies along with diversity, equity and inclusion experts, Interior Secretary Deb Haaland announced Friday. The process will include dialogue with tribes, state and...

The world has gone mad. We knew when ‘experts’ decided to vaccinate children that there would be more deaths from the vaccination than from COVID. Now we have support for this based on CDC and Big Pharma data. We’ve known since the first data was released, that healthy children were virtually unaffected from COVID-19. The elderly over age 75 were a different story. (See USA Today chart below from October.) But now the powers that be want to give the COVID vaccines to children. The problem with this is that more children will die from the vaccine than will die...

Purchasing and preparing the turkey for Thanksgiving has taken on a kind of mythical status through the years. It's a big hunk of poultry that you only cook once a year, so taking the care to properly store, thaw, and cook the big bird in time for a glorious entrance to the harvest table can be tricky. While it may not be as easy to control for seasonings, cooking times, and temperatures, there is one easy way to start off your Thanksgiving feast preparation on the right foot: Buy the best bird. To help you decide which turkey to buy...

Over the summer, the Los Angeles City Council Public Safety Committee approved a proposal to expand Fire District 1, an anachronistic planning overlay that would effectively ban wood-frame construction in much of the city. Superficially premised as a measure to improve fire safety, the motion has been heavily promoted by special interests in the concrete industry, who would heavily benefit from the prohibition. Yet as less partial observers have pointed out, the motion would significantly increase the cost of constructing housing in Los Angeles, to no clear fire safety benefit. According to a report by the Los Angeles Department of...

[H/T Grey_Whiskers]ransomnote: interesting article compares WWII action/reaction following Pearl Harbor to America's action/reaction to Brandon/MSM/'elites'. I enjoyed the writer's style. Excerpt from linked article."The significance of ”Let’s go Brandon!” spreading like wildfire outside the jaded internet set in this context is that it reveals for everyone just how powerless the media machine has now become. Nobody believes Joe Biden is the most popular president ever – nobody among the ”chuds” and the ”deplorables” would believe the likes of CNN about pretty much anything. And rather than being humiliated and broken, the American plebs are now acting just like the American...

VIDEOAnd we have yet another liberal who has graciously offered up her bank account for draining by the inevitable Kyle Rittenhouse lawsuit. The name of the future bank account drainee is Tiffany Cross of MSNBC News who has provided ample evidence for her civil suit plaintiff.

Late last week, three colleagues and I launched the Free North Declaration , a call to defend civil liberties in this country, which lawyers and members of the public are invited to endorse. So far more than 6,000 have done so, including over 100 lawyers. The declaration outlines the ways in which legal authorities — legislatures, governments, public health officials, professional regulators, administrative bodies and public institutions — have restricted Canadians’ liberties during the COVID-19 pandemic. They have done so shrewdly, to attempt to remain inside the strict letter of the law and to avoid triggering protections in the Charter...

WASHINGTON, Wednesday, Nov. 20. No new aspect of the Slidell and Mason case is presented. Our Government has expressed no formal opinion on the subject, because there has been no occasion therefor. Any diplomatic correspondence on the subject must be initiated by the English Government, after the Captain of the Trent has reported his case. It is a mistaken view to suppose that England could, under any circumstances, demand the release of the prisoners, as the question involved is not the guilt of the parties, but the rightfulness of their capture. If SLIDELL and MASON were citizens of a foreign...

The DOJ will certainly bring Civil Rights charges against Rittenhouse, not despite his acquittal by a brave jury of his peers, but precisely because of it, to show the common people that, regardless of the hundreds of millions of guns, they have no defense. You can shoot the armed bad guy breaking in your house to rape & murder your family, but get ready to deal with prison gangs for a long, long time. Power is greater than Money. "How much better of a house can you live in, how much better of a car can you drive?" - "You...

Joseph P Farrell – This remarkable article was spotted and shared by E.V.H., but before we get to it, a little background. Regular readers here may recall that some weeks ago I blogged about Klaus Schwab, the perpetually scowling figure who heads the World Economic Forum. I noted at the time that Schwab seemed very much like the character of Dr. Ernst Stavro Blohfeld, the fictitious villain and head of SPECTRE (Special Executive for Counter-intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion) from the James Bond films.I wasn’t the only one who noticed, apparently, because shortly after that, pictures of Schwab in a...

WALNUT CREEK (CBS SF) — Dozens of looters swarmed into the Nordstrom store in downtown Walnut Creek Saturday night, terrorizing shoppers, ripping off bag loads of merchandise and ransacking shelves before fleeing in a several vehicles waiting for them on the street. Walnut Creek Lt. Ryan Hibbs told KPIX 5 that police began receiving calls about the looting at around 9 p.m. He said there were approximately 80 individuals who ran into the store and began looting and smashing shelves. Video shot at the scene shows the masked looters streaming out of the store, carrying bags and boxes, jumping into...

Saule Omarova is a thief. Seriously, she’s a thief and is now in the running to control our currency.. As I noted the other day, a key goal of hers is to completely and utterly bankrupt the coal, oil, and natural gas industries. What she ALSO wants to do is…confiscate our bank accounts. No, I’m not kidding. Her “modest” proposal would negatively impact ALL of us. She is literally advocating for our OWN money to be turned over to the federal government and managed by the same. Oh for sure, THAT will end well. A. The federal government has NEVER...

China has beat the U.S. to become the world’s richest nation, according to a new report. -- Key findings: Global net worth soared from $156 million in 2000 to $514 trillion in 2020, making the world wealthier than it was at any point in history. China accounted for nearly a third of the increase, the report from management consultancy firm McKinsey & Company stated. McKinsey analyzed the national balance sheets of 10 countries that represented 60% of the world’s income. Of these nations, China accounted for 50% of the growth in net worth, followed by the U.S. (22%) and Japan...

We conclude that the mRNA vacs dramatically increase inflammation on the endothelium and T cell infiltration of cardiac muscle and may account for the observations of increased thrombosis, cardiomyopathy, and other vascular events following vaccination. Recently, with the advent of the mRNA COVID 19 vaccines (vac) by Moderna and Pfizer, dramatic changes in the PULS score became apparent in most patients. This report summarizes those results. A total of 566 pts, aged 28 to 97, M:F ratio 1:1 seen in a preventive cardiology practice had a new PULS test drawn from 2 to 10 weeks following the 2nd COVID shot...

Admit it, you’ve done this: sat around with friends for hours, trying to come up with the definitive list of the funniest movies ever. Well, now here’s an – almost, sort of – statistical solution: the Laugh a Minute rating.It comes from Lovefilm, the London-based video streaming and DVD subscription service. Lovefilm polled its members for the 10 movies that made them laugh most. Then, says spokesperson Helen Cowley, the company convened a panel to watch the movies and note "how many times [each film] made us giggle." Divide the number of laughs by the film’s length in minutes, and...

This ballad has a 19th Century vibe to it. Similar in that way to The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald or Ashokan Farewell.

In Northampton, artists’ feud over Mayflower print leads to fallout after biennial is canceled When members of the arts council logged into a meeting in late September, few could have imagined a retired librarian’s artwork was about to torpedo their upcoming biennial, a popular juried show at the local library.

All the Comforts of Home. Home should be all that is comforting; the place where you rest securely. The place where you are free to be yourself and free to do and eat what makes you feel happy. To have a comfortable warm place to put your feet up and to know that all is well. As my husband's career in the army was approaching its end we were able to buy our farm and then we worked to make it our dream home. As winter approaches, we decided to put a wood burning stove in the new cabin room...

The big news on Friday was about Kyle Rittenhouse being found not guilty on all five counts. However, if you read the Saturday Politico Playbook, you might think there could have been a sixth charge against him namely for stealing the headlines away from the House passing the big 1.7 trillion dollar spending bill. That really irked Zack Stanton as you can see in "Rittenhouse verdict pushes BBB out of the headlines."

Kyle Rittenhouse Awarded AR-15 for 'Defense of Gun Rights' Following Acquittal Accused shooter Kyle Rittenhouse has been awarded an AR-15 assault rifle from an organization called Gun Owners of America (GOA) for his "defense of gun rights" following his acquittal from homicide charges. "ALERT: GOA will be awarding Kyle Rittenhouse with an AR-15 for his defense of gun rights in America," GOA wrote in a Friday morning tweet. "Join us in saying THANK YOU to Kyle Rittenhouse for being a warrior for gun owners and self defense rights across the country!" ALERT: GOA will be awarding Kyle Rittenhouse with an...
