An inch at a time... brick by brick... we are being controlled... we are being programmed to accept one mandate ... then another.. and we lose our freedoms with ever communistic act. The democrats are good at control. They do not like conservatives and Christians.. we are not so easily controlled. They have had free reign to do whatever they want and to continue to dig deeper into our freedoms. Do...

Neurologists in the United States think they have finally figured out why people with asthma seem to develop fewer brain tumors. The findings could one day help us develop better treatments for both conditions. The curious connection between asthma and brain tumors first began popping up in global epidemiological research about 15 years ago, but without a proper mechanism linking the lung condition to the brain condition, some experts have dismissed the findings as random. A new study now suggests the relationship may be real after all. In 2015, neurologists published a study noting some children genetically prone to tumors...

A few weeks ago, we celebrated Thanksgiving, with gratitude for our many blessings, although these are becoming scarcer over the past two years. At the same time, we received news of a new COVID variant. It seems the world is on some type of Chinese gift registry where we receive quarterly presents, starting with the original Chinese coronavirus, followed every few months by a new variant and subsequent lockdowns, restrictions, and mandates.This coronavirus is acting more like a herpes virus, the one that gives us cold sores that seem to come and go on their own cycle. But these COVID...

The slow and often comical decline of Official Conservatism™ starting somewhere in the Bush years has offered many insights into what has gone wrong since the middle of the last century. It is as if the tide is slowing going out, revealing many things that had previously been hidden under the waterline. Or, as Warren Buffett would say it, the tide has gone out and we now see who was swimming naked. An example of this phenomenon is a piece by New York Times columnist David Brooks in The Atlantic in which he bemoans the state of conservatism. This is...

Thank goodness the public understands at least some of the horror that would be unleashed on us if Biden's Build Back Bankrupt plan were to become law. One of the worst features of the bill is that it would sic hordes of new and inexperienced IRS auditors on middle America, not the billionaires that Democrat propaganda would have believe are going to be forced to "pay their fair share."These new agents would be under pressure to prove their worth by shaking down businesses that have done their best to comply with the complex and often difficult to understand IRS regulations,...

As states across the Midwest and South pick up the pieces after a spate of tornadoes believed to have killed dozens of people, the top US emergency management official warned Sunday that such cataclysms will be the “new normal.” “The effects we are seeing of climate change are the crisis of our generation,” FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell told CNN’s “State of the Union.” Criswell added that while it was “not unusual” for tornadoes to strike in December, “at this magnitude, I don’t think we have ever seen one this late in the year.” “Even the severity and the amount of...

Georgia Governor Brian Kemp, a so-called Republican who is known for being anti-Trump, is in deep trouble according to a new GOP poll. Many are speculating that former Georgia GOP Senator David Perdue will be mounting a campaign to challenge Brian Kemp in the Republican primary for governor in 2022. The GOP poll obtained by the Washington Examiner indicates that, with former President Donald Trump‘s endorsement, Perdue would beat Brian Kemp in the primary 41% to 34%, with Democrat-turned-Republican Vernon Jones receiving 11 percent of the vote. If Jones was taken out of the race, the poll shows Perdue leading...

Questions about her husband's current mental fitness are "ridiculous," Jill Biden says in an interview

From the CO2 Coalition – December 12, 2021 President Joe Biden wasted no time in politicizing the recent tornado tragedy that claimed nearly 100 lives in Kentucky, Illinois, Arkansas, Tennessee, and Missouri. Speaking less than 24 hours after the devastation of communities and lives, Biden linked the storms to man-made climate change. “All I know is that the intensity of the weather across the board has some impacts as a consequence of the warming of the planet and climate change,” Biden said. “The fact is that we all know everything is more intense when the climate is warming. Everything. And...

Atlantic magazine contributing writer Quinta Jurecic did not use the f-word but used the phrase "weirdly static" as a stand-in for "flopped" when writing about the failure of the congressional January 6 Committee investigation. Of course, one problem is that none of the supposed insurrectionists has actually been charged with insurrection. Jurecic explained how the January 6 Committee investigation flopped on Saturday in "Why the January 6 Investigation Is Weirdly Static."
