NDAA FY 2022 Requirement for Women to Register for Selective Service REMOVED Yesterday, December 7, 2021. This is very good news! This came from a friend in the Texas 31st Congressional District, not from our own Congressman. But I have been on the phone with Trey Hollingsworth's (R-IN-9) Jeffersonville office. Rep Hollingsworth's office has confirmed that the U.S. Senate sent a compromise bill back to the House insiting on these changes. The vote in the House took place yesrerday, December 7, 2021, and we were successful in the points shown here in Congressman John Carter's letter. This is confirmed. And...

During a Friday sermon at the Islamic Center of South Florida, Imam Hasan Sabri criticized U.S. President Trump's "Deal of the Century" as "treason," and said that Palestine in its entirety is Islamic land. "If a land is occupied or plundered, it should be liberated from its occupiers and plunderers, even if this leads to the martyrdom of tens of millions of Muslims," he said. The ideology, even with a nice "face" on it - is JIHAD. No compromise, no willing to "live and let live". Death is the way. This is Florida. Not Baghdad. Not Tehran. Not Kabul. MIAMI!...

An illegal alien from Africa murders 24 white people, and one juror refuses to convict.

"What the heck is going on over there?" This has been the sentiment expressed by friends and associates outside of France as they come across news of the 63-year-old longtime French right-wing editorialist who's now running second in many polls to incumbent French President Emmanuel Macron ahead of next April's presidential election. Eric Zemmour was born in one of the rougher Parisian suburbs to working-class immigrant parents of North African origin who arrived during the Algerian War. He has spilled so much ink -- in books and columns -- on subjects like feminism, immigration, and the impact of general leftist...

Quick, somebody check Chris Cuomo's alibi! In the latest act of aggravated vandalism to make headlines in the Big Apple, the New York Post reports that a man has been arrested for allegedly setting fire to the Christmas tree standing outside the News Corp building in midtown Manhattan. The tree, which is notable for being situated outside Fox News' midtown studio (which is inside the building, downstairs from other Rupert Murdoch-controlled media properties like the NY Post and the Wall Street Journal), attracts crowds of holiday gawkers every year since it's located just around the corner from the 30 Rock...

The White House on Tuesday pushed back against the Senate’s bid to block the Biden administration's first major arms sale to Saudi Arabia over the country’s involvement in Yemen's civil war. In a statement of administration policy, the White House said it “strongly opposes” the joint resolution of disapproval to block a proposed $650 million weapons sale to the Saudi government that the Senate is set to consider on Tuesday evening. The administration argued that the proposed foreign military sale — which included 280 air-to-air missiles made by Raytheon Technologies — “would replenish Saudi Arabia’s existing inventory of air-to-air missiles”...

"It's worse than a war zone around here lately," police official said. At least 12 major U.S. cities have broken annual homicide records in 2021 -- and there's still three weeks to go in the year. Of the dozen cities that have already surpassed the grim milestones for killings, five topped records that were set or tied just last year. "It's terrible to every morning get up and have to go look at the numbers and then look at the news and see the stories. It's just crazy. It's just crazy and this needs to stop," Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney...

There’s a rule of thumb in politics on right-track, wrong-track. If you get down to around a third right track, two-thirds against you, that’s too big a headwind. That’s what we had in ’16 when I stepped in, I said hey, it’s two-thirds, one-third under Obama. She’s [Hillary’s] done. Plus all this other points showing people want a leader like Trump. 27% is unprecedented ladies and gentlemen. These are numbers that have not been seen before. This is worse than when Nixon was walking out to the helicopter. These are unprecedented numbers. Talk about killing the crib. Eviscerated. This administration...

A deranged Missouri man threatened to kill students at a high school “in the name of Kyle Rittenhouse,” police said. Mitchell Lovelace, 27, posted on Snapchat Saturday that he planned to shoot up Festus High School in honor of the Illinois teen, according to charging documents cited by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

New research from the University of East Anglia and Quadram Institute reveals how our immune cells use the body’s fat stores to fight infection.

The team studied Salmonella — a bacterial infection that causes diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal pain, fever, and sepsis. The UEA team collaborated with the Quadram Institute and colleagues at the Earlham Institute, to track fatty acid movement...

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene today released “Unusually Cruel- An Eyewitness Report From Inside The DC Jail,” her report about what she saw when she was finally allowed to meet the January 6 political prisoners. Reps. Greene, Gohmert, Gaetz, and Gosar tried, unsuccessfully, to visit the January 6 political prisoners twice earlier this year. They were turned back for no stated reasons.

What, exactly, is your cat thinking? Scientists have come up with a questionnaire that might give you some idea of where your feline friend fits on what's known as the triarchic model of psychopathy. The model measures levels of boldness, meanness, and disinhibition in order to assess overall psychopathic tendencies. Ordinarily, the test is for human beings, of course, but here it's being applied to cats. Having completed the survey – which you can find online – you'll be given what's called a CAT-Tri+ measure for your pet's level of psychopathy. The team is hoping that knowing this score can...
