FORTRESS MONROE, Tuesday, Feb. 11, via BALTIMORE, Wednesday, Feb. 12. By a flag of truce to-day we learn the complete success of the Burnside Expedition at Roanoke Island. The Island was taken possession of, and Commodore LYNCH's fleet completely destroyed. Elizabeth City was attacked on Sunday, and evacuated by the inhabitants. The city was previously burned, but whether by our shells or the inhabitants is not certain. The first news of the defeat arrived at Norfolk on Sunday afternoon, and caused great excitement. The previous news was very satisfactory, stating that Yankees had been allowed to advance for the purpose...

More than half of the funding for the Canadian trucker convoy protesters on some online platforms is coming from the United States, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Friday. Trudeau said he spoke with U.S. President Joe Biden about the American and “global” influences on the protests against COVID-19 mandates, which have blocked streets in downtown Ottawa and border crossings to the U.S. “We talked about the U.S.-based flooding of the 911 phone lines in Ottawa, the presence of U.S. citizens in the blockades and the impact of foreign money to fund this illegal activity,” Trudeau told reporters. Biden “expressed concern...

Pray For The Peace of JerusalemPhilippians 2Imitating Christ’s Humility 2 Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, 2 then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. 3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, 4 not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others. 5 In your relationships with one...

In a nearly unanimous decision, the Supreme Court has ruled that judges cannot create "exceptions" to the United States Constitution. "As the Supreme Court has recognized, the right to confront and cross-examine witnesses is one of the bedrock constitutional protections afforded to criminal defendants," said constitutional attorney John W. Whitehead, president of The Rutherford Institute and author of "Battlefield America: The War on the American People." "At its core, the Sixth Amendment acts as a restraint on the government’s power to unfairly punish citizens in criminal cases, putting safeguards in place to prevent the accused from being indiscriminately stripped of...

Former Obama administration official Juliette Kayyem backpedaled a call Thursday for actions against Canadian truckers protesting their government’s strict coronavirus policies, Fox News reported. The CNN analyst, who is also a senior lecturer in International Secutiry at Harvard, wrote in a social media post, “I tweeted something that has been used by others to suggest I was promoting vigilantism. I was not.” She apparently claimed her words had been misinterpreted. “People have the freedom to protest. Governments have the responsibility to protect public safety. That was what I intended to say,” she added. However, Twitter users fired back at her...

Homicides have skyrocketed over the past year. In 2021, several cities hit new records for murders, The Wall Street Journal reported. But children are increasingly becoming the victims of these violent crimes. In 2021, 311 children died from gun violence in the United States, the Gun Violence Archive reported. That is a 48 percent increase from the 210 children who were shot to death in 2019. E.W. Jackson is a voice for change in American communities and has founded and overseen a number of organizations that are fighting for change in a deteriorating culture. Most recently, he started several projects...

White House reporters failed to ask National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan about his past record of lies about Russia, as he urged journalists to believe U.S. intelligence reports that suggested Russia would soon invade Ukraine. Sullivan appeared at the White House press briefing to warn that a Russian invasion of Ukraine could happen as soon as next week, and to urge Americans to leave Ukraine, warning that U.S. troops would not be risked to rescue them. Reporters asked why they should believe U.S. intelligence assessments, given a past history of consequential errors, such as those before the Iraq War. But...

The habits of tyranny are hard to break. China expected that the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing would once again impress the world with China’s ability to build shiny new venues and organize vast and impressive mass ceremonies. But, instead, what are becoming known as the “Genocide Games” is exposing the autocratic authoritarianism of its governing officials and the downright shabby nature of its treatment for foreign athletes, some of whom dare to complain in public. Unlike Chinese citizens, they don’t have to worry about the social credit scores once they leave the Middle Kingdom. From Yahoo Sports: A Finnish...

The Premier of Ontario has declared what he calls a “state of emergency” to justify the Canadian government’s removal of the truckers and their trucks from Ottawa. Others, however, could view his statement to more closely resemble a Declaration of War.You decide. I urge you to watch the video of the Premier’s statement for yourself. According to the Premier, each trucker they arrest will face up to one year in prison, have to pay fines up to $100,000 and may likely forfeit their trucks to the Crown! The Premier’s position is that the truckers protesting Canada’s mandate requiring truckers to...

Putin 'doesn't give a s**t about sanctions' and 'the more the West pushes him, the stronger his response will be', Russian ambassador to Sweden says as US staff begin withdrawing from eastern Ukraine amid warning of 'imminent' invasion Viktor Tatarintsev said 'the more the West pushes Russia, the stronger the Russian response will be' He claimed Russia had become more 'self-sufficient' amid the threat of sanctions and had increased exports Dramatic photos today showed U.S. staff members of the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) packing up and leaving the rebel-held city of Donetsk in eastern Ukraine Were...

After 20 years of building the United States into the world's pre-eminent and deadliest weapon against terrorism, the Biden administration will spend $200 million this year to spy on and hunt down its own citizens.

For over a year now, the messaging from our “health experts” and government leaders has been as dreary as it has been monotonal: Take the covid “vaccine” or die. That talking point was reiterated by resident Biden* just a few weeks ago when he warned the “unvaxxed” would face “a winter of severe disease and death.” And that was before New Jersey’s resident rodent meteorologist, Milltown Mel, shuffled off this mortal coil just prior to Groundhog Day. So I guess that means, in New Jersey at least, another six weeks of severe disease and death. Originally, of course, we were...

Are you excited by the prospect of your tax dollars funding public schools separating first-graders into groups of "oppressors" and "oppressed"? Despite moves to push back against Critical Race Theory (CRT), it continues to be embraced from kindergarten through college. -The Oregon Department of Education is training its K–12 teachers in "math equity" to combat "the toxic characteristics of white supremacy culture with respect to math." -An elementary school in Philadelphia "forced fifth-grade students to celebrate 'black communism' and simulate a Black Power rally in honor of political radical Angela Davis." -Public schools in Louisville, Kentucky are hosting anti-bias and...

Every year during the Super Bowl, numerous articles pop up online about human trafficking; I’ve even written about it. Of course, some say it is a myth, and some say it does happen. But, here is a hint, the naysayers are wrong. Trafficking is absolutely happening at the Super Bowl. But, it is also happening across the Nation every day of the week, not just this weekend. Anywhere there is a significant event like the Super Bowl, there is a flood of visitors. This flood of visitors brings those willing to pay for sex. So, it is not just the...

Using other people’s money, BlackRock is driving America’s corporations further and further left, as well as wholeheartedly embracing China. BlackRock Investment is a company bigger than most of you can imagine. BlackRock and The Vanguard Group, together, own just about every business in America (not to mention a staggering amount of real property). It turns out that BlackRock’s CEO, a guy named Larry Fink, is another one of those limousine leftists who believes it’s his job to force leftism on America, one corporation at a time. He’s also gung-ho on China and uses the money of ordinary investors to help...

Virgil famously remarked, well over 2,000 years ago: “The descent to hell is easy.” The aura of truth in that phrase persists to this day, as the latest generations of humanity continue to travel down that path. It is hard to believe that after millennia of human endeavor the direction of progress for humanity remains downward. I am neither the first nor the last to think that politics is often the reason for this anomaly – that, for example, the notion of “common ground” in politics is always true and successful “negotiation” is always possible, something that human life does...
