NBC NASCAR reporter Kelli Stavast is either hard of hearing, or a very, very quick thinker. While interviewing driver Brandon Brown on Saturday at Talladega Superspeedway in Alabama after he won his first NASCAR Xfinity Series race, Stavast had to deal with an unruly crowd. The racing fans, sensing the live cameras, broke into what’s fast becoming a popular chant at college football games in the south and midwest. The populist commentary involves President Joe Biden. Stavast bravely soldiered on despite the obvious disruption. As an emotional Brown struggled to be heard above the crowd’s din, she interjected. “As you...

My idea-SECEDE IMMEDIATELY. Just do it if the US can still leave a GOP majority behind. Let the 'diluted' 48 grow their own backbone. It would be legal. It is written. Fast forward and undo all the things the rats built in the rest of the US. Build the wall. DEPORT all illegals to relatives throughout the US. Lefties in Austin can grin and bear it or leave. I'd even empty the jails that way. Privatize SSI into Roth IRA's. Military bases stay with a working agreement. Eliminate welfare and unemployment compensation. Last, offer to return to the US under...

The NFL has been among the most aggressive and draconian proponents of Covid-19 “vaccines” since the season began. They boast having over 95% of their players “fully vaccinated” and have been heralded by corporate media as doing the “right thing” by treating their unvaxxed players as lepers who must be segregated based solely on their embrace of medical freedom. News Monday of a flood of Covid-positive tests makes lucid Americans question the efficacy of their policies, though media outlets have completely sidestepped the contradictions between the segregation narrative and the real-world results. According to NBC Sports: The NFL saw 106...

U.S. flu season has arrived on schedule after taking a year off, with flu hospitalizations rising and two child deaths reported. Last year's flu season was the lowest on record, likely because COVID-19 measures — school closures, distancing, masks and canceled travel — prevented the spread of influenza, or because the coronavirus somehow pushed aside other viruses. During last year's unusually light flu season, one child died. In contrast, 199 children died from flu two years ago, and 144 the year before

With lithium-ion batteries serving as the engine room for so much of the modern world, from phones and laptops, to electric cars and planes, every scientific breakthrough that improves their performance is an important one. Some of these come from incremental advances that experiment with alternative materials, for example, while some come from re-imagining the whole device and the way they work from the ground up. 2021 produced a stellar crop of discoveries that resulted from researchers thinking outside the box in this way. Let's take a look at the most creative and interesting examples. Opening up to faster charging...

VIDEOABC's "The View" is now searching for a woman to permanently fill the "conservative" slot on the show. Here are five of the top candidates for that position. See if you can figure out what they all have in common. Hint: It is a position a "conservative" MUST have in order to qualify for that slot. My guess is that the last woman in this video has the best chance to be selected since she seems to be the most desperate to ingratiate herself with liberals for a job.Of course, the one person who would NOT ever be considered for...

The U.S. Department of Justice received an unwelcome Christmas gift from defense attorneys representing five men charged with conspiring to “kidnap” Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer in 2020: a motion to dismiss the case. The Christmas Day filing is the latest blow to the government’s scandal-ridden prosecution; defense counsel is building a convincing argument that the FBI used undercover agents and informants to entrap their clients in a wide-ranging scheme that resulted in bad press for Donald Trump as early voting was underway in the key swing state last year. What began as random social media chatter to oppose lockdown policies...

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...
