"Shut up.", she explains. https://imgur.com/nRxFdqx For reference, pls view the definitive snapshot from the Pelosi/Gulch Family Album (link just above), showing Nancy along with her (much better-looking) sister Almira. What a nightmare that this beautiful country should be saddled with such a decrepit husk of a human in high office. What a nightmare she should also be demented to the point she thinks she can issue advice on proper decorum/deference toward the Chinese Communist Party. God help us. WHO ARE YOU that elected her, and keep her in office. I shudder to think I walk among lice like you. Recall...

Finland’s men’s ice hockey coach has accused China of not respecting a player’s human rights at the Winter Olympics as forward ​​Marko Anttila remains in isolation 18 days after testing positive for COVID-19. Jukka Jalonen took aim at the conditions the 6-foot-8, 230-pound Finnish player is under while in isolation, which he said has taken a toll on Anttila, both physically and mentally. "He's a professional athlete and he would like to participate in team practices and games in the near future," Jalonen told media during a zoom call, via CBC News. "He's not getting great food and he's a...

GoFundMe’s suspension of millions to support protesting truckers in Canada shocked many, particularly when the company initially announced its intention to distribute the money to other charities. It was less of a surprise for those of us who have criticized the company for years over its use of the platform to target and block funds for conservative and libertarian causes. Indeed, the company has revised an old practice known as the “Nag’s Head light” in luring the unsuspecting into what has become a liberal lockbox on funds.

Beijing (CNN)Making her Olympic debut for Team China, California-born figure skater Zhu Yi was eager to prove herself to the Chinese public. Instead, the 19-year-old is facing a firestorm on Chinese social media after she fell flat on the ice and finished last in the women's short program team event Sunday. On Weibo, China's Twitter-like platform, the hashtag "Zhu Yi has fallen" gained 200 million views in just a few hours. Many questioned why Zhu, an American-born skater, was picked to represent China at the expense of an athlete born in the country. "This is such a disgrace," said a...

The Lord God, the Giver of Good Gifts. Every good and perfect gift comes down from God; God sent down His only begotten Son that whosoever believes on Him, will not perish but have everlasting life. When God becomes a Father to us, He wants us to enjoy abundant life! God wants us to come to Him with our needs, in fact, we are to come boldly to the Throne of Grace (grace=free and undeserved, unearned favor) to find mercy and help in a time of need. Too often people live like they are temper-tantrum throwing children, demanding their sinful...

ST. LOUIS — Anheuser-Busch will debut its first zero-carb beer this week. The brewery needs it to be a winner. Bud Light Next is a pale champagne in color, fizzy like seltzer, just 80 calories, and a world of hope for A-B. The company is counting on it to bring back younger drinkers who have flocked to seltzers and spirits, and, perhaps, lead the world’s largest brewer out of a tough decade. Revenues are flat. Market share is crumbling. Now it’s trying again. And Anheuser-Busch is pulling out all the stops to make it work: The new beer is rolling...

Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) criticized the Republican National Committee's (RNC) apparent characterization of the storming of the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, as “legitimate political discourse” in a resolution to formally censure Reps. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) and Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.). The RNC on Friday voted to censure both lawmakers, with the resolution saying that they have been engaged in the “persecution of ordinary citizens engaged in legitimate political discourse” by participating in the House select panel investigating the insurrection at the Capitol. The two were also censured for their past criticism of former President Trump. “What happened on January 6,...

This whopping beast gives a whole new meaning to catch of the day. A Mississippi hunter has caught and killed an 80-year-old, 905lb alligator that measures 13feet 4inches in length at a lake in southern Florida. But even this monster - an 80-year-old who was known to feast on livestock venturing too near to its lake - isn't the largest caught in Florida. The record for the longest alligator caught goes to a 14ft 3.5inch beast caught in Lake Washington in Brevard County and the heaviest was a 1,043lb one in Orange Lake in Alachua County The hunt for the...

Joe Rogan and Spotify aren’t in trouble for spreading false information. They’re in trouble for embarrassing the media and government officials who themselves pushed false information. he Left has a word for misinformation that turns out to be true. They call it, “misinformation.” Over and over again, the tech giants, cheered on by power-drunk government officials, have censored and deplatformed people who have contradicted the official narrative regarding COVID and heavy-handed public health measures that restrict freedom with dubious health benefits. Tellingly, the demands to censor Joe Rogan rarely identify the supposed “misinformation” he peddled. Even more tellingly, the censors...

Crowdfunding platform GoFundMe, which is now caught up in controversy over its nixing of a fundraiser for the Canadian trucker protests, once promoted an appeal for the 2020 Seattle Capitol Hill Occupied Protest (CHOP.) The platform on Friday announced that it had frozen the convoy’s official campaign, offering a justification that there was violence connected to the Freedom Convoy and the protest had turned into an occupation. The truckers are protesting Canada's vaccine mandates. "We now have evidence from law enforcement that the previously peaceful demonstration has become an occupation, with police reports of violence and other unlawful activity," a...

The Bartlett Warehouse fire seems to be a records storage facility owned by TD Ameritrade Inc. The retail community finds it incredibly suspicious since the incident occurred after the SEC announced 60 hedge funds were to undergo investigations for manipulative short selling. The address of the Bartlett Warehouse fire can be traced through SEC reports below. The warehouse caught fire on Thursday morning, February 3rd. Officials say the warehouse was stacked floor to ceiling with boxes of documents which further fueled the fire, via ABC7 Chicago. The Bartlett Fire Chief anticipates the fire to be a multi-day event. The cause...

I didn’t see a lot of prophetic news that I wanted to write about early this week, so here is my understanding of a famous Pre-Trib Rapture passage (I Thess. 4:13-5:9). I have omitted the Chapter divisions because they were not in the original texts. I have capitalized some of the pronouns because the verses are a contrast between believers and unbelievers; the saved and the lost. “But I would not have YOU to be ignorant, BRETHREN, concerning them which are asleep, that YE sorrow not, even as others which have no hope” (I Thess. 4:13). God doesn’t want YOU,...

Early in the twentieth century, belief in the Rapture became a mainstay at Bible-believing churches in America and throughout the free world. Pastors boldly encouraged their flocks with the hope of Jesus’ imminent appearing. Unfortunately, much has changed during the past twenty-five years. The word “Rapture” has become taboo in most churches, even in many that claim to believe in the inspiration and inerrancy of Scripture. Last year, I listened to a former pastor of mine preach on 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18. He avoided all references to Jesus’ return for His church and said nothing whatsoever about verse 17. He changed...

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) on Sunday said “vice presidents can't simply decide not to certify an election,” breaking with former President Trump after he suggested that then-Vice President Mike Pence had the ability to overturn the results of the 2020 election. Asked by moderator Margaret Brennan on CBS’s “Face the Nation” if he agreed with Pence — who on Friday said he had “no right to overturn the election” — Rubio said that after examining the matter, he concluded that vice presidents do not have the power to not certify an election.

Former Gov. Chris Christie (R-NJ) said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that former President Donald Trump “told the truth by accident,” when he said he wanted then-President-elect Joe Biden’s win “overturned.” Friday former Vice President Mike Pence rebuffed the idea he could have overturned the election by refusing the state electors on January 6, 2021.

Only last year, Mr Ahmadinejad confirmed the Mossad had infiltrated his intelligence ministry. He said: "Is it normal that the most senior officer responsible for the control of Israeli spies, responsible for confronting Israeli plots in Iran, himself turned out to be an Israeli agent?"... Ali Yunesi, a former Iranian intelligence minister and top adviser to President Rouhani, issued this warning in an interview: "The Mossad's influence in many parts of the country is so vast that every member of the Iranian leadership should be worried for their lives, for their safety."

A daughter's wedding - and all that goes with it — should be about pure joy and celebration. Nothing less. Yet one New Jersey mother — because of New York City's COVID vaccine mandates that began last summer — found herself enduring a medical emergency she never imagined. Kathleen Zemlachenko, 63, of Raritan Township, N.J., had chosen not to take the COVID-19 vaccine after consulting with her doctor. Fit and active, Zemlachenko had already tested positive for COVID in January 2021. She had very high antibody levels to prove it. "I had 3,000 times the antibodies that would have shown...

NEW YORK (AP) — For all the potential peril of a workplace romance, the most common source of trouble, experts say, is allowing it to remain a secret. A case in point was this week’s abrupt ouster of longtime CNN chief executive Jeff Zucker, who said he was ’’wrong” in not being upfront with the network about a consensual relationship he was having with another executive. Zucker is hardly alone in finding love at the office. About a third of U.S. workers say they are in a workplace relationship or have been in one — and the trend has been...

I was taught (and retaught) table manners as a child. I suspect you had them driven into your noggin as well. Chew with your mouth closed, Lest your food fall out all over the placedon’t talk with your mouth full, Deploy your entrenching tools correctly (aka hold your silverware correctly) Okay Okay NoAnd a myriad of others such as no elbows on the table (although I later learned that even Emily Post said it was appropriate to place your elbows on the table for conversations between courses when there were no plates on the table), no reaching across the table,...
