Let's face it: a good portion of the federal government has little regard for us as people, as adults, as parents, as taxpayers or as citizens; or for the Constitution or the principles and spirit upon which this country was founded. With each passing month, our overlords show less respect for the Bill of Rights, the rule of law, basic concepts of citizenship and property, the principle of equal treatment, due process, America's business climate, our solvency, our currency, our sovereignty, our history and heritage, representative government, our right to dissent, basic notions of logic, reason, civil debate and open...

Recently I watched an interview of Glenn Loury, a black professor of economics from Brown University, done by Peter Robinson of the Hoover Institution. In it, he makes a remarkable statement quoting his friend Shelby Steele, himself a black English professor who now writes books commenting on current affairs. Loury quotes Steele to the effect that “the problem before [blacks in America] now is not a problem of oppression. It is a problem of freedom. It is a problem of seizing opportunity, the problem of taking responsibility.” It echoed within me as I have been thinking similar thoughts about the...

The CEO of an online mortgage lender fired 900 of his employees in a brutal Zoom call - then slammed them for being so 'lazy' they effectively 'stole' from customers. Vishal Garg axed around nine per cent of Better.com's workforce last Wednesday - three weeks before Christmas - including its entire diversity, equity and inclusion team, which deals with complaints about racism and sexism in the workplace. Garg told them bluntly: 'This isn't news that you're going to want to hear...If you're on this call, you are part of the unlucky group that is being laid off. Your employment here...

Must-see TV and must-see single graph that reveals how effective off-patent inexpensive therapies are in reducing COVID deaths. Despite the lack of so-called “gold standard” double-blind studies, we now effectively know that early (off-label) use of the anti-parasite/anti-malarial drugs hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin can have a very significant effect on reducing COVID mortality. Especially when used in conjunction with other substances like azithromycin, zinc, and Vitamin D. (Always consult your physician for medical advice.

Former Sen. David Perdue (R-GA) is expected to announce on Monday that he is running for governor of Georgia in 2022, according to multiple reports. Perdue will seek to unseat incumbent Gov. Brian Kemp (R) in the primary, and, should Perdue win the primary, he would compete with the leading Democrat contender, activist Stacey Abrams.

Between gasoline prices and VP Kamala Harris' polling problems, don't be surprised if the press secretary announces next week that the DoJ is going to investigate the 2020 election results to see if President Trump should be returned to the Oval Office. Yes, it's been that kind of a year for President Biden. I get the impression that he can't wait to go back to Delaware for real. The latest from the "Everybody hates Kamala" show is that the VP's staff is jumping ship. It started a couple of weeks ago and now the Washington Post has developed the story...

Jake Tapper, who works for CNN which buried the truth about the Cuomo's for a long time, is out campaigning for Democrats and against Republicans no matter what the facts are. Via Breitbart: CNN’s Tapper: I Can’t Think of Anything Less American than GOP’s ‘Bigotry Campaign’ CNN anchor Jake Tapper said Sunday on “State of the Union” that the Republican Party was conducting a “bigotry campaign’ while discussing Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) calling Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) the “jihad squad.” Tapper made his remarks while interviewing Rep. Ilhan Omar CNN screengrab Jake Tapper and others will gladly campaign for Omar...

One can only hope that the standards by which the Nazis were judged and condemned will be the basis of subsequent judgments where necessary. On December 1, 2021, a gang of thugs harassed a bus full of Jewish teenagers in Oxford Street, London's flagship shopping area in Central London. This hate crime was caught on video, with the thugs abusing the youths, banging the bus, spitting on it, taking off shoes (an insult in Arab culture), giving obscene gestures and the Nazi salute. The teenagers were celebrating the first night of Hanukah, the festival of lights commemorating the Jewish uprising...

Big news about sacred tradition and Traditionis Custodes emerged over the weekend. ...

The panicking Democrats are tweaking the old "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade" cliché, arguing that when the Supreme Court gives babies life, try to make that aid their campaigns. But "You won't let us kill kids!" may fly in Scat Francisco and other barren, childless blue hellholes, but as a campaign theme (along with such perennial favorites as "Stop being mean to criminals!" and "You are all racist!") it's not a winner. When families are trying to find $100 to fill up the old Dodge Caravan, "Republicans made it harder to abort babies in red states" loses to...

A lot of folks can't understand how we came to have an oil shortage here in our country. ~~~ Well, there's a very simple answer. ~~~ Nobody bothered to check the oil. ~~~ We just didn't know we were getting low. ~~~ The reason for that is purely geographical. ~~~ Our OIL is located in: ~~~ ALASKA ~~~ California ~~~ Coastal Florida ~~~ Coastal Louisiana ~~~ Coastal Alabama ~~~~ Coastal Mississippi ~~~~ Coastal Texas ~~~ North Dakota ~~~ Wyoming ~~~ Colorado ~~~ Kansas ~~~ Oklahoma ~~~ Pennsylvania ~~~ And Texas ~~~ Our dipstick is located in the White House! ~~~...

Campaigners have called for the UK's only giant pandas to be given "political asylum" over fears they will be put down if they go back to China. Yang Guang and Tian Tian have been unable to breed at Edinburgh Zoo since their arrival in 2011 - sparking fears among activists that they will be seen as "useless" following the end of their decade-long, £600,000-a-year lease deal. The pair have been in the zoo for 10 years and came to Scotland to be part of a breeding program....

On November 19, Kyle Rittenhouse was acquitted of all charges in the shootings of Joseph Rosenbaum, Anthony Huber, and Gaige Grosskreutz in Kenosha, WI. His defense established that the teenager was acting in self-defense; the prosecution was unable to prove otherwise. Even media outlets not aligned with the conservative view were constrained to observe that among the “undisputed facts” of the case are that Rosenbaum chased and later advanced on Rittenhouse when he stood his ground; that Huber hit him with a skateboard and lunged for his rifle; and that Grosskreutz pointed a handgun at him. Yet, the young man...

It’s not about the variant -- it’s about the fear. Like a magician who gains his reputation for sleight-of-hand -- getting the audience to concentrate on one aspect of a trick while manipulating another -- so government authorities around the world are using the unknown aspects of a new COVID-19 variant to keep the public in fear about their future well-being. This chronic fear under the guise of an “emergency” has granted unbelievable amounts of power to those who the media anoint as “experts” and “scientists.” They are milking their new-found fame and perceived wisdom to make pronouncements and exercise...

Donald Trump brokered a deal this weekend to clear the North Carolina GOP Senate field for Rep. Ted Budd, the candidate he endorsed in June but who has failed to emerge so far as the clear frontrunner. During a meeting at Mar-a-Lago on Saturday, Trump pledged to endorse former GOP Rep. Mark Walker, who is currently in third place in the Senate primary, if Walker leaves the race and runs again for the House instead, according to multiple sources present at the gathering. “Trump offered Walker the endorsement, and it’s expected to get rolled out this week,” said Jack Minor,...

Women's sports are again under attack. Decades ago, it was due to tradition and patriarchy, with funding and attention lavished primarily on men’s sports. Title IX came in 1972, leveling the playing field. At the time, there were just over 300,000 women and girls participating in high school and college sports. Female athletes only received 2 percent of college athletic budgets and few if any women received athletic scholarships. Forty years later in 2012, great progress was made with 3 million girls participating in high school sports and 190,000 in college sports, a sixfold increase since 1972. But instead of...

DENVER (AP) — It was lunchtime on a mild day in the sprawling Denver suburb of Aurora when a truck full of teens pulled into a high school parking lot where students were gathered, and gunfire rang out. Three were wounded as others ran in fear. One of the boys charged in the Nov. 19 shooting later told investigators he brought his armed friends to an expected gang fight because “it’s the way it is in this town,” court documents said... ...Aurora has seen an increase in Black and Latino families and immigrants from around the world as Denver has...
