Most of the media clearly knew about the payments to Hunter Biden by China, Russia, and Ukraine before the 2020 election as they campaigned for Joe. Yet when a well-researched story by the New York Post came out about Hunter’s laptop and corruption, most of the media buried, by falsely blaming it on Russian disinformation. They couldn’t take the risk that the public would learn the truth. The same media that willingly interfered in the election knew that many states violated their election laws in 2020, yet still proclaim the election was the cleanest ever. Now, there is a new...

Massive protest convoy by truckers in Canada against mandates by Canada and US. MSM refusing to report. Same planned by US truckers.

We’ve long been familiar with media bias, where the opinions of those who own or produce news make their way into the stories they tell and even the choices of which stories are worth telling. But in recent years, there’s been a new kind of journalism that deserves more scrutiny – when publications produce stories for the express purpose of achieving certain results. In the case of Donald Trump, it was used to start the Russia collusion debacle and attempt to ruin him politically. But the tactic has more commercial uses as well. In Washington, a publication known as the...

Let’s consider three rather humble but important moments that are often lost in the minds and hearts of the faithful – the Mystery of Faith, the Amen, and the Agnus Dei. They rise in importance because they are moments that belong especially to the faithful rather than the clergy.I. The Mystery of Faith (Memorial Acclamation) In the Ordinary Form of the Liturgy, an acclamation of the people has been added just after the consecration. The priest bids them to acclaim the paschal mystery that has just been made present in the Eucharistic Sacrifice.In effect, this addition to Mass is the...

Buckle up, Buccaroos! How the Pig in a Pantsuit could be “POTUS” within weeks… So Justice Breyer is resigning. And Biden’s operating system is now crashing every 120 seconds. Scenario: -The Demented Pedophile Biden nominates Harris to fill Breyer’s seat on the Supreme Court thus solving the “Harris Problem”. And Harris is a very, very big problem. The Deep State can’t get rid of Biden without first getting rid of Harris. -Biden then appoints Hillary Vice President. -Biden then resigns citing “prostate cancer” or some such. Anything but dementia. Ah, prostate cancer. The “Canadian girlfriend” of resignation excuses. -Hillary becomes...

Halifax, Sunday, Jan. 26. The R.M. steamship Europa, Capt. ANDERSON, from Liverpool at 3 P.M. of the 11th, and Queenstown on the 12th, arrived here at 10 1/2 o'clock last night. The wind was then and is still blowing a hurricane, with a heavy sea. The Europa has neither troops nor stores, the Government having discontinued shipments by the Cunarders. The Europa has 18 passengers for Boston, £6,500 for Boston and £64,000 for Halifax. It was said that notwithstanding the pacific solution of the American question, warlike preparations at Woolwich have not been relaxed. The steamers Spartan and Ajax continued...

Spotify is removing Neil Young’s music from its platform, the Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday, following Young’s public ultimatum that the streaming service choose between him and Joe Rogan

Brandon Michon, a parent in the Loudoun County School District that went viral for speaking out against remote learning, joined Tucker Carlson on Fox News Wednesday to announce that he is running for Congress in Virginia. "I had the opportunity to be in the room with Governor Youngkin when he signed the executive orders allowing parents to choose what's best for their children. Parents want to have a voice and they just want to be heard. That's why I'm excited to announce on your show, live right now, that I am running for the 10th congressional district of Virginia and...

‘Betraying the American people’: Leaked video reveals Joe Biden’s ‘hush hush’ migrant invasion While Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi go all out to protect Ukraine’s national sovereignty, at the same time they are orchestrating a clandestine invasion of America across the southern border. Two million illegal immigrants from dozens of countries crossed over from Mexico last year, and the Biden administration is facilitating the cartels’ people-smuggling operation — at taxpayer expense. Under cover of darkness, every night the federal government is transporting illegal migrants as fast as they can away from the border on secret charter flights into unsuspecting communities...

Where are the serious people in the party? The Democrats are just getting sillier by the minute. Where are the serious people in the party? I can't see too many of them. The latest is talking about "threats to democracy" and Miami talk radio. This is from Alex Perez: The painful reality for the Latinx set is that Hispanics are, as Ruy Teixeira recently wrote, “a patriotic, upwardly mobile, working-class group with quite practical and down to earth concerns.” Which means they have more in common with working-class Americans of all races than they do with Democratic Party elites. Anti-Americanism,...

Washington -- Accuracy is making a comeback. The plagiarist in chief gave a long off-the-cuff press conference, complete with misstatements and canards, and now his listeners around the world are apprehensive that the Russians may take him at his word and launch an invasion of Ukraine. White House spokesmen have spent days walking back the plagiarist in chief's misstatements, but he happens to be the president of the United States and, as he himself has said, his words matter. The electorate elected in 2020 a 77-year-old man with a lifelong record of plagiarism, lying about his achievements (and other people's...

Being a passive spectator results in the emboldening of totalitarians. The Holocaust is among the darkest chapters in the history of mankind. It was the first time an entire people were systematically targeted, discriminated against, persecuted, and murdered on an industrial scale for their religious persuasion. But this genocide against the Jewish people did not occur in a vacuum. The Holocaust was the result of a prolonged and sinister campaign against the Jewish people. While the shocking nature of barbarism, violence, and mass murder causes the Holocaust to the focal point of historians, the Nazi strategy that enable them to...

SAN FRANCISCO — The black and yellow signs were hard to miss, their message spelled out in English and Cantonese: “Vote YES to Recall the School Board.” Volunteers with the Chinese American Democratic Club urged shoppers to get registered for the Feb. 15 election, telling them why three members of the city’s school board — all Democrats — needed to be removed from office. Yung Chen, 73, was already convinced. “Martin Luther King’s speech, I believe in that: Don’t judge people by racers ,” he said. His grandson, he explained, nearly missed out on a spot at the high school...

Democrats excoriated Sarah Palin as did some Republicans once upon a time for warning Obmacare would produce “death panels.” That is, government bureaucrats making decisions based on charts and graphs and demographic actuarial tables as to who deserved life saving treatments, procedures, etc. and who should just go home and wait for their time to run out. The doctor/patient relationship would no longer be stronger than the government/doctor relationship. Turns out that “fear monger” was prescient. We can only assume the White House was livid when the Supreme Court of the United States destroyed their authoritarian attempt to circumvent Congress...

The U.S. rejection of Russia’s main demands to resolve the crisis over Ukraine leaves little ground for optimism, the Kremlin spokesman said Thursday, while adding that dialogue was still possible. But as expected, the U.S. and the Western alliance firmly rejected any concessions on Moscow’s main points Wednesday, refusing to permanently ban Ukraine from joining NATO and saying allied deployments of troops and military equipment in Eastern Europe are nonnegotiable. The U.S. did outline areas in which some of Russia’s concerns might be addressed, possibly offering a path to de-escalation. “There is no change, there will be no change,” U.S....

Pray For The Peace of JerusalemGalatians 5Life by the Spirit 13 You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh[a]; rather, serve one another humbly in love. 14 For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”[b] 15 If you bite and devour each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other. 16 So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. 17 For the flesh desires what is contrary to...

Americans want an autonomous Ukraine to survive. They hope the West can stop Russian President Vladimir Putin's strangulation of both Ukraine and NATO. Yet Americans do not want their troops to venture across the world to Europe's backyard to fight nuclear Russia to ensure that Ukraine stays independent. Most Americans oppose the notion that Russia can simply dictate the future of Ukraine. Yet Americans also grudgingly accept that Ukraine was often historically part of Russia. During World War II, it was the bloody scene of joint Russian-Ukrainian sacrifices - over 5 million killed - to defeat the Nazi German invasion....

The truth is that the Second American Civil War is...almost over. Unlike the first one, the Democrats appear to be a near lock to win. Leftists, through a combination of brilliant projectionist strategy and callously evil use of their political opponents' naïveté, decency, and tolerance, have transformed America's institutions. They have weaponized them and used them against their less aggressive fellow citizens. In the process, they have transformed Americans, their beliefs and expectations, too. Much like the Chinese Communist Party, they own nearly all the levers of influence and power, exercising an iron grip on the education establishment, the mass...

“Everyone cheats” is a hell of a lesson for the nation’s kids. When it comes to professional sports it might be true. When everyone is at the top of their game, and there are millions of dollars on the line, everyone will look for an advantage. Some people will cross the line, and many of those people will get away with it. Is it time to accept this? I’m not suggesting pro sports go the route of the great Saturday Night Live skit about the “All-Drug Olympics” from back when the show was funny, but maybe acknowledge that players, even...
