Gab, Twitter, and other social media sites have been brutal today for Biden voters. While some are taking the odd approach of pretending that it’s a good thing Joe Biden is in the White House instead of Donald Trump, most are either silent or changing their tune about the Dear Leader. Some are still idiots, like horror writer Stephen King: Mr. Putin has made a serious miscalculation. He forgot he's no longer dealing with Trump. — Stephen King (@StephenKing) February 23, 2022 Journalist Mike Cernovich summed up the sentiment: You have to own this. All 81,000,000 of you. You destroyed...

We live in an era where the heroes of yesteryear are often vilified. It’s hard to believe that George Washington, “the father of our country,” fits in that category. Barbarians in the streets have even gone after statues of George Washington to topple them. I have recently made a film on George Washington’s life, legacy, and his faith. The film is simply called, “George Washington,” which I made for Providence Forum, founded by Dr. Peter Lillback. This film is one episode of a seven-part Foundation of American Liberty series. What is the foundation of our liberty? Our Judeo Christian heritage....

Throwback Thursday: Remembering the Good Old Days.Remember when Romper Room was a children’s TV show, not the seat of power in Washington D.C.?President Biden’s response to Putin’s invasion of Ukraine (paraphrased): “Romper, stomper, bomper boo. Tell me, tell me, tell me, do.” We are past the rhetoric and reasonable negotiation stage and headed south fast. It might be time to break out the old Obama Hashtag Diplomacy, demonstrated in 2014 by his State Department Spokesmouth Hashtag Girls:Jen and Marie: State Department tag team TwitsMaybe we can just tweet our way through this latest Russia! Russia! Russia! crisis as well.I’m guessing...

What Led to Canada’s CrisisLast week, the Canadian government invoked the Emergencies Act to break up the Freedom Convoy protests. Officials had accused the protesters—long-haul truckers and citizens gathered in Ottawa to peacefully oppose vaccine mandates—of being Nazis. The Emergencies Act gave the government cover to act without court approval and in defiance of constitutional rights. During the past week, the government used illegally obtained data and a media doxxing campaign to hunt down those who joined or supported the protests, and freeze their assets. The government planned the institutional unpersoning of civil dissidents, their supporters, and their families. Nevertheless,...

Road rage led to a woman being assaulted in a McDonald's drive-thru in Richmond, according to police. They said they are looking for help in their investigation.

VIDEOWhy did Vladimir Putin wait until now to invade Ukraine? Why didn't he do it two or three years ago? What changed?

Late last night, my phone started screeching an incredibly loud emergency alert signal. It was a “Blue Alert,” an alert I had never heard before. A dangerous criminal was on the loose. When I clicked the link, this was the photo that popped up: A quick Google search revealed a short article by WCTV.TV saying that Miedema had shot a Taylor County deputy multiple times.

The European Union (E.U.) sought to place itself in front of Russia’s territorial ambitions Thursday as it announced the “strongest, the harshest package” of sanctions to punish Moscow for the invasion of Ukraine. No E.U. military action was promised to bolster the threats of sanctions and trade boycotts after the E.U.’s leading nation Germany only sent 5,000 helmets to Ukraine when they asked for military hardware and ammunition in the face of earlier Russian threats.

On February 19, 2022, the Associated Press published an article reporting Indiana Senate President Pro Tem Rodric Bray saying he expected the Senate Judiciary Committee, which had bottled up the Constitutional Carry bill, to advance the bill to the full Senate. From AP via usnews.com:Republican Senate President Pro Tem Rodric Bray said he expected a Senate committee in the coming week to advance the bill loosening Indiana’s already lenient firearms restrictions that the GOP-dominated House approved last month.The Judiciary Committee was the chosen vehicle used by the Republican majority of senators to kill Constitutional Carry in 2021. The Republican senators...

Horowitz: The new Western fascism: Countries are gradually using jail exclusively for political opponentsFor all the talk about Putin’s authoritarian grip over former Soviet states, we have our own authoritarian Putins now governing Western democracies and crushing all political dissent. Holding someone without bail for organizing a peaceful protest against the government sounds like something Putin would do, yet it is now happening in Canada and has already been happening here against those who did not engage in violence on Jan. 6. Meanwhile, these same Western leaders support de-incarceration for the most violent criminals, demonstrating that it’s not even about...

Sci-fi films and TV shows have routinely depicted a brutal race of aliens visiting Earth in their spaceships and enslaving unfortunate Earthlings. But according to one expert, extraterrestrial life may actually be too scared of 'dangerous' and 'violent' humans to want to come here. Dr Gordon Gallup, a biopsychologist at the University of Albany, argues that humans are 'dangerous, violent and ceaselessly engage in endless bloody conflicts and war'. For this reason, aliens with the technological capability of making a visit to Earth - if they exist - are likely inclined to stay away for fear of death and genocide,...

I admit, I followed market data to get a signal of what is happening to mortgage rates and I got one. With Putin and Russia invading Ukraine, markets are in turmoil. WTI Crude is up 8.14% this morning, Brent Crude is up 8.45% and NBP (UK) Natural gas is up 40%. Europe is having a bad day equity market-wise. Eurostoxx 50 was down 4.92%. The US Dow is braced for a 2.5% opening. Now to bonds. The 10-year Treasury yield is down 13.3 bps this morning. Sweden and UK are down 10 bps as well. How about the new Russian...

To empower parents, Florida Republicans would put children in danger. If passed, their Parental Rights in Education legislation, known more commonly as the “don’t say gay” bills, would prevent public-school districts from “encouraging classroom discussion about sexual orientation or gender identity,” CBS News reports. A proposed amendment would have required educators to report a child’s disclosure about their gender identity or sexual orientation to parents within six weeks.

Donald Trump's strength as a president was not that he was better at running the country. It was that he believed in taking a hands-off approach and letting Americans run our own country with far less interference from elected officials or unelected bureaucrats. The economy boomed under Trump not because of the government but because of the inspiration and hard work of millions of Americans.That's the way America is supposed to be. That's how it was designed to be.And that is precisely what most Democrats -- and a lot of Republicans -- don't want Americans to do. Or insist upon...

The Bible In Paintings 2 ENCOURAGEMENT FOR APPRECIATING AND APPLYING GOD'S MESSAGE E X O D U S CHAPTER 2 One day, after Moses had grown up, he went out to where his own people were and watched them at their hard labor. He saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his own people. Glancing this way and that and seeing no one, he killed the Egyptian and hid him in the sand. The next day he went out and saw two Hebrews fighting. He asked the one in the wrong, “Why are you hitting your fellow Hebrew?”...

If you were raised in northern New England, or spent any appreciable amount of time there, you already know what I am about to tell you: Beach pizza is a thing of local lore. There is some debate among people in my hometown — Newburyport, Massachusetts, a coastal city tucked between Boston and the New Hampshire border — about whether or not I, a person born in New York and raised in New England, should be allowed to identify as a Bay Stater. But when the conversation turns to pizza, my provenance becomes clear. I’m from New England. If I...

President Joe Biden, facing the risk of a destabilizing energy price shock, is promising to blunt the impact of rising energy prices on American families. But that won't be easy. The Russia-Ukraine crisis has already helped lift oil and gasoline prices to levels unseen since 2014. Further sanctions on Moscow could drive pump prices closer to $4 a gallon. Biden is bracing the public for just that, acknowledging on Tuesday that "defending freedom will have costs." "I want to limit the pain the American people are feeling at the gas pump. This is critical to me," Biden said during prepared...

Even the liberal Associated Press observed that NBC’s multi-billion dollar pro-communist China bet on the Olympics just went up in flames.
