So the LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man’s ribs and closed up the place with flesh.

Source: Screenshot via CNNYes, the January 6th“insurrection” is real.Oh, not the riotous behavior at the U.S. Capitol a year ago. I mean the one today… January 6, 2022. When MSNBC, CNN, The Washington Post and other alleged “news” organizations make Third Reich propaganda queen Leni Reifenstahl look like a piker by comparison as they roll out hour after hour of hysterical, hand-wringing coverage of events last January. Nazi films like “Triumph of the Will” giving way to shaky cellphone images of the Q-Anon Shaman in that dumb Viking hat and ominous, Darth Vader music.Not since the canonization of George Floyd...

The January 6th anniversary observances by the Democrat-media class from Joe Biden down are sick-making even by the debased standards of American politics. I'm disinclined to join them. In the last twelve months, I've done multiple monologues on TV and radio about America's political prisoners, the weaponization of Officer Sicknick's death and the now routine FBI humbuggery about key evidence such as - ooooooh! - a Lego model of the Capitol on which the insurrectionists had plotted the whole thing. Which inevitably, like almost every FBI utterance these days, proved to be total bollocks.So instead I will merely reprise what...

NORFOLK — A Norfolk physician who sued Sentara Healthcare over its ban on administering ivermectin to COVID-19 patients has resigned from his position at Eastern Virginia Medical School. Dr. Paul Marik announced his departure Tuesday in a news release from the Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance, an organization he co-founded with other critical care doctors at the start of the pandemic. Marik resigned to spend more time on “multiple causes” — including the FLCCC — according to the release.

The law was included in the Democrats' $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan Act, which was passed with only Democratic votes through budget reconciliation to avoid the Senate filibuster -------------------------------------------------------------------- *resident Joe Biden and Democrats in Congress passed a new rule that requires payment companies and cash applications such as Venmo and PayPal to report $600 or more of payments to the Internal Revenue Services. The law was included in the Democrats' $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan Act, which was passed with only Democratic votes through budget reconciliation to avoid the Senate filibuster. The new rule took effect at the beginning...

About a year ago I had a series of posts covering some of the more audacious deplatformings and cancelations then occurring in the realms of progressive orthodoxy enforcement. Examples of prominent victims of such conduct cited in my posts of February 22, 2021 and March 4, 2021 included: The Epoch Times (“demonetized” by Google, apparently as a result of relentless criticism of the Chinese Communist Party), Project Veritas (a constant irritant to the Left, shut out by Twitter), Catholic World Report (locked out by Twitter after calling President Biden’s nominee for Assistant Secretary of HHS “a biological man identifying as...

Automaker Chrysler just announced plans to go completely electric by 2028, anticipating the release of its first electric vehicle by 2025. Chrysler announced the plans along with a new AI-enabled vehicle system powered by a battery that the company says can travel 350 to 400 miles per charge, as The Associated Press reported. Chrysler is part of Europe’s Stellantis, which last month announced a new strategy to embed AI-enabled software into millions of vehicles across its 14 different brands. This could gain Stellantis $22.6 billion in annual revenue by 2030. This is all part of the race among automakers to...

The new social media app, Gettr, touting itself as the ‘free speech’ alternative to Twitter has hired a global communications director with a long past of criticizing former President Donald J Trump, supporting Hillary Clinton as well as praising the liberal Barack Obama. .... Ebony Bowden, who is the global communications director of Gettr, is not the sort of conservative Americans are looking for as they seek a platform offering the elusive ‘free speech’ they were promised in their constitution.

A father-son duo of Pennsylvania treasure hunters have sued the FBI for failing to produce records chronicling a top-secret excavation the agency administered in the state nearly four years ago that may have yielded a $400million cache of Civil War-era gold. Court documents unsealed earlier this year revealed that the bureau had in fact engaged in the previously undisclosed dig in Elk County in search of the fabled treasure, lost by the US government in 1863. The filing attested that agents engaged in the dig came up empty-handed.Fortune seekers Dennis and Kem Parada, however - who together comprise the lost...

Former Democrat Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid just died. New Hampshire Democrat Sen. Jeanne Shaheen's website said: "Harry Reid was a statesman." Rep. Joe Morelle, D-N.Y., tweeted: "America has lost a true statesman with the passing of Harry Reid." Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., tweeted: "Saddened to learn of the passing of Harry Reid -- a statesman, a gentleman and a Democratic institution." "Statesman"? Where to start? After voting for the Iraq War, Reid turned against it and attacked President George W. Bush as a "loser" and a "liar." He later apologized for the "loser" part but kept "liar" intact. Never...

The White House is writing off an ally to appease an enemy. The situation in Ukraine has become very grave. On December 17, Russian dictator Vladimir Putin sent U.S. president Joe Biden an ultimatum, effectively demanding that NATO abandon Eastern Europe or face military action. Biden agreed to a phone conversation with Putin to talk it over, giving the Kremlin what it sought: The affected countries were now on the table instead of at the table. When the two then talked on December 30, according to the White House, Biden rejected the ultimatum and informed Putin that if he proceeded...

The enormous reaction to Betty White’s death and America’s decades-long love affair with the 99-year old caused me to consider why. What is it about her that elicited such universal affection and praise from nearly everyone? It’s not because she isn’t worthy of that kind of adoration, but it’s just so unusual for the American population to agree on much of anything, never mind the likeability of a specific personality. Then it clicked. Betty White was my grandmother. And she was your grandmother. Or what you wish was your grandmother. Or what you imagine your grandmother would be if you...

When will Ray Epps not kill himself?I originally thought it would be sometime before the GOP took control of Congress with a new January 6 Committee that would investigate what REALLY happened that day (such as find the ID of the pipe bomb guy, the fence cutter guy, and the blue and white megaphone guy in the tower). At the very top of the list of people for the new January 6 Committee to subpoena would of course be Ray Epps. That would mean Ray Epps would have to not kill himself sometime before a new January 6 Committee begins...

Washington, Sunday, Jan. 5. It is stated very positively that a very high officer of the army has been arrested, to-night, on the charge of being the medium through which the rebels have been constantly obtaining important information relative to military movements. Prominent persons here are understood to be involved in the same affair. The hour is too late to admit of a verification of the story, and I give it on rumor only. Measures have been taken additionally to guard against the communication of information to the rebels, especially through female agency. COL. KERRIGAN'S GUILT. Circumstances in the case...

A watchdog group is asking the Justice Department about its decision to waive ethics rules and let the administration's top Supreme Court lawyer argue a landmark affirmative action case involving her former employer, the Washington Free Beacon has learned. Protect the Public's Trust filed a Freedom of Information Act request Wednesday for information about Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar's involvement with a legal brief the administration filed urging the Court to reject a lawsuit accusing Harvard of bias against Asians. Prelogar, a former Harvard employee, is barred by the Biden administration's ethics pledge from participating in the case without a waiver....

Former president Donald Trump has hurt his chances for a second go of the presidency, if he plans to run. By recently saying, "The vaccine is one of the greatest achievements of mankind," he dismayed a large swath of supporters who consider the COVID shots one of mankind's greatest failures. SNIP One of the hardest things in the world to do is admit being wrong. Pride is widely considered to be the worst of the seven deadly sins. There's also plenty of pride going around within the CDC, FDA, and NIH these days, with devastating consequences as the COVID shots...
