The Oligarchs are liable to find that AOC or another more charismatic dictator will put them in their place. Isn't Russia now far more religious and traditional than the US? Yes, but we still pray for Russia's conversion because of the "Russia" infesting the soul of America. A leader of the Frankfurt School, to make the West stink, was Herbert Marcuse, of Columbia, Harvard, Brandeis and UC San Diego, whose contribution to CRT and other current wokist aberrations, was then called partisan tolerance, wide "tolerance", but only of only "correct" views. I don’t believe we’re in the end times, because...

The scale of the threat posed by the Omicron variant was laid bare by government scientists last night as they warned that there are now hundreds of thousands of infections every day. That daily number could reach between 600,000 and 2 million by the end of the month if new restrictions are not brought in immediately. The government’s SPI-M-O group of scientists, which reports to the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (Sage), also warned that, based on their modelling, hospitalisations could peak between 3,000 and 10,000 a day and deaths at between 600 and 6,000 a day. Sage urged the...

An Alabama judge who called her fellow jurists “Uncle Tom” and “heifer,” and who allegedly put her finger on the scales in domestic cases has been yanked from the bench. A nine-judge panel found that Nakita Blocton, of Jefferson County, Ala., had a history of “inappropriate comments” and, as regarded her staff, a “pattern of abuse,” according to Law & Crime. That abuse included “excessive, unproductive, and unnecessary nights and weekends” she forced her underlings to work, according to the panel’s Dec. 10 judgment. Nakita Blocton Blocton called her fellow jurists “Uncle Tom” and “heifer.” Twitter And when her actions...

Representative Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” the Department of Justice should investigate former President Donald Trump for his role in the Capitol riot on January 6. During a congressional hearing, Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) said, “Mr. Meadows’ testimony will bear on another key question before this committee. Did Donald Trump, through action or inaction, corruptly seek to obstruct or impede Congress’ official proceedings to count electoral votes?”

Progressives slammed Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., after he revealed Sunday that he would not support President Biden’s massive social spending bill known as the Build Back Better Act after months of party negotiations."Let’s be clear: Manchin’s excuse is bull----," Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., tweeted. "The people of West Virginia would directly benefit from childcare, pre-Medicare expansion, and long term care, just like Minnesotans. This is exactly what we warned would happen if we separated Build Back Better from infrastructure." Manchin said earlier on "Fox News Sunday" that he had spoken with Biden, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority...

VIDEOWith the announcement by Senator Joe Manchin that he is a "NO" on the Build Back Broke bill, it is starting to dawn on many in the media that Sleepy Joe Biden is just flat out STUPID. Specifically that Biden is a STUPID negotiator as you can see in this MTP clip. Perhaps Biden's handlers need to buy a copy of "The Art of the Deal" in order to learn how to properly negotiate.

A report from The New York Times last week revealed how the conservative investigative journalism group Project Veritas got its hands on a diary written by President Joe Biden’s daughter, Ashley Biden. The FBI raided the home of Project Veritas founder James O’Keefe in November. According to a statement from O’Keefe, federal agents also searched the homes of other individuals tied to Project Veritas and took away materials. The investigation into how Project Veritas got the diary is still underway. The New York Times reported Thursday that it has found out how the diary reached Project Veritas — a story...

MOSCOW, Dec 18 (Reuters) - Russian natural gas deliveries to Germany through the Yamal-Europe pipeline dropped sharply on Saturday, data from German network operator Gascade showed, adding pressure to an already tight European gas market as it heads into peak winter demand. It was not immediately clear why flows were down through the pipeline, one of the major routes for Russian gas exports to Europe and which traverses Belarus. Russian gas exporter Gazprom did not immediately reply to a request for comment. European gas prices have surged this year as demand spiked globally in the post-pandemic recovery. Russia, Europe's key...

Donald Trump mocked his successor in an interview taped Friday where he questioned whether Joe Biden is running the country after he called Vice President Kamala Harris the president during a graduation commencement speech. He told Fox News' Maria Bartiromo in the interview that aired Sunday that 'in the truest sense' Biden is 'not running the country.' Trump specifically pointed to Biden repeatedly referring to Harris as the president and flip flopping from one day to the next on issues he supports. The former president also told Bartiromo that he hopes for a rematch with Hillary Clinton in 2024 –...

The investigation continues. That’s the official word from the University of Massachusetts about their very thorough investigation of some racist emails, a probe that was announced with such fanfare and righteous indignation earlier this fall but now appears to be sputtering out, with no suspects. No suspects? How can that possibly be?..., I saw that ZooMass had decided to get ahead of the curve with “An Update into the Investigation of Racist Emails.” “To date no perpetrator has been identified,” the statement read. “It is not uncommon for the results of a cyber inquiry to be inconclusive and it is...

The UK is preparing to impose another harsh nationwide lockdown in response to the emergence of the mild Omicron variant.But Sky News put UK Health Minister Gillian Keegan on the spot when she was asked how many Omicron cases and deaths were recorded in the country of 68 million people. After initially claiming that “774” people had been hospitalized with Omicron, Keegan walked that back to only “10”, noting the first number was total hospitalizations in the entire country over the last week.“Maybe going up to 11 now, actually,” Keegan, the Minister of State for Care at the Department of...

Too Few Are Telling the TruthNot long ago, conservative media was not beholden to anyone. Today, most sites are stuck on the Big Tech gravy train.I’ll keep this short. The rise of Pandemic Panic Theater, massive voter fraud, and other “taboo” topics have neutered a majority of conservative news sites. You’ll notice they are very careful about what topics they tackle. Sure, they’ll attack Critical Race Theory, Antifa, and the Biden-Harris regime, but you won’t see them going after George Soros, Bill Gates, the World Economic Forum, or the Deep State, among others.The reason is simple. They are beholden to...

It is hard to write an obit for a good friend of many years. Burt Prelutsky, a conservative columnist nested in the Hollywood area, first caught my eye by reading his materials in the old Federalist Digest. He combined intelligence, wit, conservatism and scalding characterizations of our republic's enemies in his columns. A lot of people in the Arts business didn't like him, but Burt knew who the real conservatives were. Sadly, on the 17th of this month, I received a text from a relative that Burt had died that morning. He had a sudden drop in blood pressure, so...
