Yes, Joe Biden is far and away the worst president in the history of the United States. However, the four-year Trump interlude between Obama and Biden gave the U.S. at least a little resiliency to stand against Biden’s hard-left administration. Imagine how much worse things would have been if Hillary had immediately stepped into Obama’s shoes. America wouldn’t have stood a chance. And lest you forget just what a horrible human being Hillary was, she just gave us a reminder as she spoke with Today’s Willie Geist about her decision to read her “victory speech” aloud for a MasterClass. A...

“I would rather die on my feet than live on my knees” – EuripidesHave you had enough? We can make all of the discomforts go away quickly. By discomfort, I’m referring to all of the asinine hoops that you must jump through to live a normal American life in the age of Covid. The masking, the handwashing, the social distancing, the lockdowns, the fear; you can make them all go away. Just say, “Uncle!” When you were a kid, the idiom “say uncle” was synonymous with tapping out of an uncomfortable situation by capitulating to the demands of your captor....

Many view the United States as having the most sophisticated and capable national defense and intelligence apparatus globally. In totality, this is arguably true. However, often not taken into account is that all of America's capabilities rarely, if ever, come together to achieve a unified objective. Instead, you have constant and bitter bureaucratic infighting, with agencies often distrusting each other and operating as their own fiefdoms. Take, for example, Project GUNMAN. In 1978, the NSA discovered a sophisticated radio transmitter inside a false chimney in the U.S. Embassy in Moscow. The NSA told the CIA and State Department that the...

“He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot” (Proverbs 9:7).

When I was in medical school, I had the privilege of working in a large inner-city hospital, located right between two rival gangs. There were no emergency room residents, so trauma was handled by the general surgery residents. As such, I had firsthand views of some significant trauma. Each “emergency room” was basically curtains separating a large open space into cubicles. One day, a report came over the radio, we would receive a wounded officer and a wounded gang member. The officer was unfortunately shot in the back and paralyzed, the gang member shot in the knee, but otherwise fine....

Join with fellow FREEPERS to pray for AMERICA: For those in Authority in Government, Family, Military, Business, Healthcare, Education, Churches, and the Media. I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone: for kings and all those in authority that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. ~ 1 Timothy 2:1-2 Religion Forum Threads labeled [Prayer] are closed to debate of any kind. “ Rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those who weep" . . . Romans 12:15

Crime is at an all-time high in America’s biggest cities under Democrat control. The left would have us believe COVID-19 is the reason for the chaos, but truth be told, George Soros, along with failed Democrat policies, are the culprits. The host of “After Dark” calls out the billion-dollar man Soros who has successfully bought office seats for several radical districts of attorneys across the country. Using his wealth and influence, the billionaire has singlehandedly changed what law and order look like in places like Los Angeles, San Francisco, St. Louis, and Philadelphia, and this is just the beginning. The...

Colombo has agreed to pay millions of dollars to a Chinese company that has reportedly supplied it with contaminated organic fertilizer.A Sino-Sri Lankan spat over fertilizer has ended in China’s favor. Sri Lanka has reportedly agreed to pay 70 percent of the claim made by a Chinese organic fertilizer company for a shipment that Colombo had rejected as it was found to be contaminated. According to Agriculture Minister Mahindananda Aluthgamage, Sri Lanka will pay $ 6.7 million to Qingdao Seawin Bio-tech Group for the shipment of 20,000 tons of fertilizer. In addition, Sri Lanka has agreed to buy fresh stocks...

WATCH VIDEO! Lebanese journalist Pierre Abi Saab said on Al-Manar TV (Hizbullah-Lebanon) on November 30, 2021 that the American Embassy in Lebanon is a military base and that they are turning it into a fortress. He said that this would not help the Americans and that they will leave Lebanon horizontally like they left Vietnam, as Hizbullah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah said. Pierre Abi Saab: "The [American] embassy in Awkar is a military base. Technically, it is not called a base, but... They are building it while they are dismantling their missiles in the Gulf..." Interviewer: "The pictures of the building...

"This is very positive news that should make everyone even more motivated to get vaccinated and get a booster," said Pfizer Chief Scientific Officer Mikael Dolsten.

Stocks should continue to climb a “Wall of Worry”… The atmosphere has changed dramatically since earlier this year. Individual investors are now fearful. They expect lower stock prices to come, and they fear high valuations. Those fears are both overblown, as I explained yesterday . But another misunderstood market fear is weighing on investors’ minds today… Again, it sounds scary, but it isn’t. It’s just another addition to today’s Wall of Worry. Let me explain… The Federal Reserve just started the process of ending its “easy money” policies… It announced plans to reduce its bond-buying program last month. It has...

"REVEREND KEARNEY": Vaccination is an "Act of Justice" "The core value of my life is to love my neighbor as myself and that was an integral part of why I decided to get vaccinated." "There's actually very little in the Bible about protecting our rights, but there's a lot about responsibility to one's neighbor." "I believe it's an act of not just compassion, but an ACT OF JUSTICE to get the vaccine to make sure that our community can be more protected."

At least 23 travelers have been killed in northwest Nigeria in an attack by the same armed groups blamed for killing thousands this year in Africa’s most populous country. Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari said he is “very distressed” over the attack that occurred Monday.

@glennbeck Kyle Rittenhouse tells me he is admitted to Arizona State University and will go IN PERSON, despite student protests: "I have as much of a right as anybody else to go to a school I want to go to ." Clip...

A federal judge is siding with Project Veritas over its request for an independent party to review the cellphones the FBI seized from the group's founder James O'Keefe. On Wednesday, District Court Judge Analisa Torres from the Southern District of New York is ordering a "special master" to be appointed to oversee the review of O'Keefe's devices, citing "potential First Amendment concerns." "The Court recognizes, as other courts in this district have concluded, that ‘the Southern District prosecutors have integrity and decency,' and the filter team alone could conduct the review ‘with utmost integrity,’" Torres wrote. "However, the Court determines...

@disclosetv JUST IN - U.S. Senate votes 52-48 to repeal Biden's federal vaccination mandates. Bill now goes to the Democrat-controlled House.

John Durham pushed back on Michael Sussmann’s claims that former FBI General Counsel James Baker undermined the special counsel’s false statements indictment against the Democratic lawyer, contending evidence from five government employees, including Baker, supports the charge.The indictment against Sussmann centers on a Sept. 19, 2016, meeting between him and Baker in which Sussmann pushed debunked allegations of a secret back channel between Russia’s Alfa Bank and the Trump Organization. Durham contends that while Sussmann told Baker he was not working for any particular client, Sussmann was secretly doing the bidding of Hillary Clinton’s campaign and billing his services to...

* Researchers at the University of California-Riverside published results of a study that analyzed donated brain samples.* They focused on the form of tau proteins, which can be either right-handed or left-handed.* Researchers discovered that those who had a “different handed” form of tau proteins along with brain plaque and tangles also had dementia. Scientists in California tried to study Alzheimer’s disease from a different perspective and the results may have led them to the cause of the disease. Researchers at the University of California- Riverside (UCR) recently published results from a study that looked at a protein called...

“When the winds of change blow, some build walls while others build windmills..”Evergrande will default, but the Chinese economy will probably avoid a property contagion crisis as the government becomes increasingly interventionist. Longer term, how will China evolve to cope with Covid, Growth and Demographics?I’m going to go off on something of a tangent on China today. It can hardly come as much of a surprise to markets that S&P says Evergrande’s default is “inevitable”. (One of my highly coveted No Sh*t Sherlock awards is on its way to the US debt rating firm for stating the downright bleeding obvious).Evergrande’s...
