Two years ago, Senator Kamala Harris, along with Senator Cory Booker and six other Democrat Senate members, attacked the Justice Department for monitoring black supremacists. The politicians signed a letter falsely claiming that black identity extremists was “a fabricated term based on a faulty assessment of a small number of isolated incidents”. And they argued that monitoring black racists was racist. When Kamala Harris was running for president, the privileged daughter of wealthy foreign students falsely claimed that she faced segregation in Berkeley, California. “That little girl was me,” she famously declared. In Waukesha, Jackson Sparks, an 8-year-old boy, was...

Former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows reportedly reveals in a new book that former President Trump tested positive for the coronavirus three days before his first debate against then-Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden. In "The Chief’s Chief," Meadows writes that although Trump was aware that in order to participate in the debate, each candidate had to “to test negative for the virus within seventy two hours of the start time … Nothing was going to stop [Trump] from going out there," The Guardian, which obtained a copy of the book, reported. Shortly after getting the positive result, Trump...

Sebold wrote in 1999's “Lucky” of being raped and then spotting a Black man in the street several months later who she believed was her attacker. He was convicted based largely on Sebold identifying him as her rapist on the witness stand Sebold, who has not previously commented on Broadwater's exoneration, said in her statement, “I am grateful that Mr. Broadwater has finally been vindicated, but the fact remains that 40 years ago, he became another young Black man brutalized by our flawed legal system. I will forever be sorry for what was done to him."

A bureaucrat with an ego and an authoritarian streak is bad. A bureaucrat with these traits and a Chicken Little complex is downright dangerous, as we have seen most clearly since early last year when COVID-19 first reared its ugly head. Now, nearly two years in, these Chicken Littles are at it again, thanks to the emergence of a slightly new “strain” of the virus; the so-called “Omicron” variety. Leading the charge is the Chicken-Little-in-Chief, Dr. Anthony Fauci. In recent interviews, Fauci’s irrepressible ego and lust for control proves yet again why the man has no business being allowed anywhere...

The 15-year-old who allegedly attacked Michigan’s Oxford High on Tuesday used a handgun his father purchased on Black Friday 2021. Breitbart News reported three students were killed in the Oxford High attack and numerous other people were injured. USA Today noted that Oakland County Sheriff Mike Bouchard announced the 15-year-old used a pistol his father bought days earlier.

Bouchard pointed out the 15-year-old had used the handgun for target shooting after his father purchased it, but stressed that there had been no...

Today, Roe v. Wade is championed as a beacon of women’s rights, the foundation of the motto: “my body; my choice,” and the crux used to end an estimated 62 million potential human lives across the country. The landmark case was decided nearly fifty years ago finding a Texas state law banning abortions violated a woman’s privacy right in both seeking and obtaining an abortion. The rights of the fetus, however, were completely ignored in Roe’s ruling. The reasoning found in Roe was, and remains to this day, fatally flawed. Roe v.Wade was decided on the proposition that within the...

CNBC host Jim Cramer demanded that President Joe Biden impose a nationwide vaccine mandate on every American in an impassioned rant at the end of his show. On Monday night’s edition of CNBC’s Mad Money, Mr. Cramer devoted part of his show to working the financial angles of the Omicron variant that burst onto the scene over Thanksgiving weekend. But he wrapped up the show with an impassioned rant in which he asked viewers “With the new Omicron variant sweeping the globe, how do we finally put an end to this pandemic? How do we save lives and get business...

Florida police are searching for answers after the mysterious killing of a 14-year-old boy who was found dead after going for a bike ride last month. The body Ryan Rogers was discovered on Nov. 16 on Central Boulevard near the Interstate 95 overpass in Palm Beach Gardens — a day after he was reported missing when he left his family’s home to ride his bike and never returned, according to police and Fox News. Four days later, Palm Beach Gardens police announced the teen’s death was a homicide. Police did not reveal his cause of death but ruled out the...

The Biden family offered their services to a huge, Chinese government-linked energy consortium to expand its business around the world. How do we know? Because of hundreds of emails documenting the deal found on Hunter Biden’s laptop, left in a Delaware repair shop in April 2019. In her new book, “Laptop from Hell,” New York Post columnist Miranda Devine tells the tale: James Gilliar, a wiry, 56-year-old British ex-SAS officer, got to know Ye Jianming, the 40-year-old chairman of CEFC, when they were both working in the Czech Republic. CEFC was a Chinese conglomerate, one of the largest energy companies...

In a surprising editorial published in the Washington Post, two transgender activists and psychologists, Laura Edwards-Leeper and Erica Anderson, are now advocating for “gender-exploratory therapy” for trans-identified youth before rushing into puberty blockers, hormone treatments, and sex-change surgery. Shades of what we conservatives have been saying for years! Except that when we said it, we were vilified as bigoted transphobes who wanted to implement the barbaric and primitive practice of – get ready! – “conversion therapy.” But when pro-trans psychologists say, “Many of our health professionals are affirming kids too quickly in their trans identity,” they are now enlightened thinkers...

Progressives defend their approach as compassionate. Not everybody who is homeless is an addict, they say. Many are just down on their luck. Others turn to drugs after living on the street. What they need is our help. We should not ask people living in homeless encampments to go somewhere else. Homeless shelters are often more dangerous than living on the street. We should provide the people living in tents with money, food, clean needles, and whatever else they need to stay alive and comfortable. And we should provide everyone with their own apartment unit if that’s what they want....

Pray For The Peace of JerusalemDaniel 10Daniel’s Vision of a Man 10 In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia, a revelation was given to Daniel (who was called Belteshazzar). Its message was true and it concerned a great war.[a] The understanding of the message came to him in a vision. 2 At that time I, Daniel, mourned for three weeks. 3 I ate no choice food; no meat or wine touched my lips; and I used no lotions at all until the three weeks were over. 4 On the twenty-fourth day of the first month, as I was...

Russia waits, no longer ideological, but moving slowly and gingerly toward the Christian heritage that once made her a nation, even as we stupidly toss our own culture away. Is the United States becoming like the old Soviet Union in a way that people fail to see because of the noise and the distractions of electoral politics, mass entertainment masking as news, and mass indoctrination masking as entertainment? We are becoming a meritocracy that punishes merit and rewards folly. We have all the disutility of a meritocracy—the snobbishness, the restless ambition, the inclination to see merit only in what can...

For nearly half a century, the Supreme Court has said the Constitution prohibits states from banning abortion before "viability," the point at which a fetus can survive outside the womb. This week, Mississippi, defending its ban on abortions after 15 weeks of gestation, urged the justices to abandon that long-standing rule, which it says never made much sense and cannot be constitutionally justified. Mississippi has a point: The viability rule does not satisfactorily resolve the competing moral claims at the heart of the abortion debate. But the same could be said of the alternatives, including whatever policies state legislators would...

A Tucson police officer has been terminated after he shot and killed a man in a mobility scooter who was armed with a knife, Chief Chris Magnus said Tuesday, Nov. 30. Magnus said shortly before 6 p.m. Monday an employee at the Walmart near Midvale Park on West Valencia Road went to Officer Ryan Remington, a four-year veteran of the TPD, who was working off-duty security at the store. The employee told Remington that 61-year-old Richard Lee Richards, who was in a scooter, allegedly stole a toolbox from the store. According to Magnus, the employee and Remington followed Richards and...

On Nov. 4, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) announced an emergency temporary standard (ETS) directing larger employers to take steps to keep their workplaces safe from COVID-19 by either requiring vaccinations or weekly testing and masks for those who are not vaccinated. This effort has been blocked, at least temporarily, and is now being considered by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. For the moment, OSHA has suspended implementation and enforcement of the requirements pending future developments in the litigation. - snip - Contrary to what its critics are labeling it, the OSHA standard does...

A Houston businessman was sentenced to nine years in prison for a scheme in which he obtained and laundered more than $1.6 million in Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans guaranteed by the Small Business Administration (SBA) under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act. According to the U.S. Attorney's office, 30-year-old Lee Price III, who pleaded guilty to wire fraud and money laundering charges, submitted fraudulent PPP applications to banks and other lenders on behalf of three entities: 713 Construction LLC, Price Enterprises Holdings LLC, and Price Logistic Services LLC. Through the applications, Price sought over $2.6 million...
