"She opened the door and he just slipped in right behind her. She never even knew he was there," said Lee's landlord, Brian Chin. "She walked up six flights of...

Lars Larson Proof Comes Of Possible Treason From Hillary Feb 14, 2022 @ 8:43am Remember Watergate? I know, it was long ago. I was a kid in high school at the time. It was a spying operation, a “third rate burglary”, a coverup, and it ultimately led to the resignation of an American President. It got maximum news coverage at the time Now we have “spygate”, including a Russian election hoax and dirty deeds done by Hillary Clinton and the Democrat Party Remember when President Donald Trump told CBS reporter Leslie Stahl that he and his campaign had been spied...

Considering the recent filing by John Durham there is quite a bit of really good information circling around in our little corner of the internet. Most of this information has already been covered by the likes of Brian Cates and Just Human on their substacks and Telegram channels. It is not my intention to challenge any of that. What I do want to do is submit my thoughts around what is currently happening from the vantage point of someone who has worked with Packet Captures and DNS (and a bunch of other nerdy stuff) for the last 15 years…me For...

Memorial of Saints Cyril, Monk, and Methodius, Bishop Mark 8:11-13 Friends, in today’s Gospel, the Pharisees demand Jesus give them a sign in order to prove his authority, perhaps a miracle. But I’d like to draw your attention to the final line in the passage: "He left them, got into the boat again, and went off to the other shore." Whose boat was this? Well, the previous verses confirm it belonged to his disciples. Jesus entering the boat calls to mind his first encounter with Peter. One day, Peter was going about his ordinary business, washing his nets and preparing...

In addition to dropping the vaccine requirement, DC will no longer enforce indoor masking come March 1 except for areas that pose greater risk for spreading the disease, such as schools, medical facilities and public transit.

Most Democrats say former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton should be investigated by special counsel John Durham over her alleged role in trying to gin up dirt linking former President Donald Trump to Russia. A poll conducted last month found that 66% of Democrats say Mrs. Clinton should be questioned, according to a survey by TechnoMetrica Institute of Policy and Politics (TIPP) in New Jersey. That’s up 22% from October, when TIPP asked the same question, a sign that Democrats are getting increasingly concerned about Mr. Durham‘s probe into the early stages of the FBI’s probe of Russian interference in...
