About once a year I get fed up with modern society and I wish I was a dictator for a day. This is what I'd do: 1. Outlaw CRT or any other racist trash in our schools. 2. Require in person voting with photo id for all nonfelons voting. 3. Increase the lawsuit maximums for any MSM defamation lies. 4. Only allow persons of Judao-Christian culture to enter our country. 5. Build the biggest electrified wall from San Diego to 6.Louisiana. Term limit politicians and not allow them to abscond with campaign funds. 7.Balance the budget and use federal monies...

There is a lot going on in the US housing market. Excessive monetary stimulus keeping mortgage rates low, historically low inventory available for sale, and FOMO (fear of missing out … on rapidly rising home prices). The Case-Shiller repeat sales index for October is out … and the national home price index “slowed” to 19.08% YoY as mortgage rates rose. Note that available inventory of homes for sales remains very low. By metro area, Phoenix AZ once again leads with 32.3% YoY. Minneapolis MN is the slowest growing metro area in terms of home prices at 11.5% (tied with Chicago,...

Scientists have succeeded in cultivating an archaeon that converts oil into methane. They describe how the microbe achieves the transformation and that it prefers to eat rather bulky chunks of food. Microorganisms can convert oil into natural gas, i.e. methane. Until recently, it was thought that this conversion was only possible through the cooperation of different organisms. In 2019, Rafael Laso-Pérez and Gunter Wegener from the Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology suggested that a special archaeon can do this all by itself, as indicated by their genome analyses. Now, in collaboration with a team from China, the researchers have...

For Christians, the Christmas season is a unique time of joy associated with the birth of the savior Jesus Christ, whose life, death and resurrection makes possible a personal and intimate relationship with God. Jesus was born a Jew, and his teachings were built on the foundation of the Torah and the Old Testament. Thus, Christians and Jews have much in common and share a natural mutual affinity. But what came from Christ also benefited and deeply affected people of diverse beliefs in every part of the world. The fact is that Christ affected history with such impact that He...

The Hallucigenia sparsa. (Caron et al., Proc. Royal Soc. B, 2013) We sort of take for granted the depictions of prehistoric beasties illustrated in the books of our childhood. But piecing together Earth's murky past is a lot harder than it sounds. Scientists have to rely on fragmentary bones, weathered footprints, impressions in rock – these don't always capture the fine details of the complex, living, breathing animal that passed through or died there. Sometimes, while doing this painstaking work, researchers get it wrong. And not just a little wrong! Here are some of our favorite fossil flubs, and what...

On this date in 1894, Sioux Chief Cha Nopa Uhah (“Two Sticks”) was hanged in Deadwood, S.D., for instigating the murder of white ranchers on the Pine Ridge Reservation. The story begins little more than two years after one of the most tragic and emblematic events in the white conquest of North America — Wounded Knee: By early 1893, the “Ghost Dance” religious movement that had animated the Lakota people had not disappeared … nor had the futile dream of armed resistance to white domination. A band under Chief Two Sticks, a leader described as resistant to settled white civilization...

Dr. David Martin joined Stew Peters in July of this year, and absolutely CRUSHED the Covid narrative, the injections being falsely referred to as "safe and effective vaccines" and who's behind all of it. https://rumble.com/vrhud9-live-dr.-david-martin-explosive-covid-analysis-best-of-2021-most-viral-mome.html

Now that you clicked on this article, I have a confession to make. It has nothing to do with the “Let’s Go Brandon!” chant that has swept the nation, let alone with the explicit, vulgar, anti-Biden chant that it now represents. Nor does this article have anything to do with that Brandon, meaning NASCAR driver Brandon Brown. But it does have to do with another Brandon, gay pastor Brandon Robertson. And this article is a call to pray for this very devoted, yet very misled young man.If you can spare about 30 minutes, I strongly encourage you to watch this...

Teen climate activist Greta Thunberg ripped President Joe Biden for not leading on climate change and investing in new fossil fuel infrastructure in his first year. “I mean, it’s strange that people think of Joe Biden as a leader for the climate when you see what his administration is doing,” Thunberg told the Washington Post in an interview Monday. “The U.S. is actually expanding fossil fuel infrastructure. Why is the U.S. doing that?” “It should not fall on us activists and teenagers who just want to go to school to raise this awareness and to inform people that we are...

“Anything that could get people more vaccinated would be welcome,” Dr. Anthony Fauci says when asked by @jonkarl about potential vaccine requirements for domestic air travel. https://twitter.com/ThisWeekABC/status/1475113730979545092?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw

For many Americans -- perhaps most -- this week looks to a "Happy New Year" for our country, children and grandchildren. Opportunity abounds in 2022. We see a resurgence of the character, strength and essential ideals for those of us who believe in the values of America's founders. Those seeking the destruction of our constitutional republic will howl if We the People reengage in governing our great nation at every level. We invite you to join us in taking full advantage of 2022's opportunities. Let us all resolve to do the following: --Restore the Sovereignty and Integrity of the Constitution...

It's a universal truth that you can always count on evil people to do what evil people do, hence the reason they're called evil. This brings me to politicians and specifically the Erebusic apparatchiks with cloven hooves found in the ranking echelons of political parties, which brings me to COVID-19. This essentially routine flu – and anything with a 99% full recovery rate is routine in my book – is being weaponized for political gain. There's a zeitgeist of abject fear being manufactured by the lapdog mainstream media and political hacks to provide air support for the ground game needed...

All employees who have been vaccinated for COVID-19 please email or send me your CV19 vaccination card. All companies will be required to maintain records of vaccination to determine who will be required to have weekly COVID-19 testing, so that we are in compliance with the law. While we are not mandating that everyone has to be vaccinated, but in order for employees to remain employed you will have to be vaccinated or have weekly testing administered here onsite. Employers are required to start getting in compliance by January 11, 2022 and should have everything in place by February 9,...

The woman caught on video slapping a passenger aboard a Delta flight last week was revealed as a one-time NFL cheerleader and former small-time actor with a role in “Baywatch.” [snip] Cornwall, according to the affidavit, was trying to return to her seat from the restroom when she asked a flight attendant with a beverage cart that was blocking the aisle for help finding her seat. The flight attendant asked Cornwall to find a vacant seat until the beverage service was complete. “What am I, Rosa Parks?” Cornwall snapped back, according to the court docs, garnering the attention of the...

Republicans wasted no time slamming Joe Biden after the flip-flopping president said 'there is no federal solution' to combatting COVID-19 on Monday despite draconian measures that have included federal mask and vaccine mandates. The GOP, citing a comment Biden made in October 2020, released a tweet implying the president did an about-face on his commitment to battling the pandemic, which has come back with a vengeance with the highest amount of cases in a day since January - before vaccines were created. 'BIDEN, TODAY: "There is no federal solution' to COVID,"' the Republican National Committee tweeted, and included footage of...

Russia is issuing virtual ultimata against any further advance of NATO into Ukraine or Georgia. Beijing, after digesting Hong Kong, is indicating that the time draws near for its annexation of Taiwan. How did we get here? At age 90, Mikhail Gorbachev, who gave up power in December 1991, identifies a primary cause: "The triumphal mood in the West, especially in the U.S. Arrogance and self-confidence went to their heads." Indeed. Back in February of 1997, George Kennan, the architect of Cold War containment of Joseph Stalin's USSR, implored America not to seize its triumphal moment and move NATO into...

Such People Actually ExistI don’t have a bucket list. Unlike other, perhaps more normal people, I don’t long to see Paris, the Pyramids, or the Great Wall of China before I die. The way it works for me is that if I’ve seen it in a movie, I know I’ll be disappointed by the reality. That’s because in real life, the scene won’t be improved by a musical background provided by George Gershwin or Elmer Bernstein, and I won’t be strolling hand in hand with Audrey Hepburn or dancing with Ginger Rogers or even strolling and dancing with my late...
