60% Disapproval. Lets Go Brandon

(John Ransom, Headline USA) If it wasn’t a sad enough spectacle seeing President Joe Biden kowtow to communist China over the COVID virus, now Biden has overdrawn the humiliation card by pleading with the dictator in Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, a Russian ally, to please sell the US some of the oil, for which Biden won’t let American producers drill for domestic use.Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., ridiculed the Biden administration for another humiliating defeat to a dictator regime, the only type with which Biden and the Democrats seem to like dealing, reported Fox News.“#Biden secret talks with #MaduroRegime isn’t about replacing...

Americans in the lower to middle income brackets are in pain these days because of energy costs – the surging per gallon price of gasoline hits a store clerk much harder than a megamillionaire Washington politician or a movie star. But leftists believe it's not hitting hard enough yet. How do we know? Former Obama Treasury official Mark Mazur told us so. In fact, as the gasoline prices in America reach levels never before seen, there's been discussion of a holiday from the federal gas tax – to cut the costs for consumers. No, said Mazur. That, in fact, "undercuts...

As of this writing, the year is 2020. But what if the year was ACTUALLY 1722? What if hundreds of years ago there was a conspiracy by a few European noblemen to change the modern calendar? This may sound crazy, (and, admittedly, it is a little crazy), but is it possible? Stranger things have happened. It all has to do with the Holy Roman Empire, the Pope, and (maybe) the Byzantine Empire circa AD 1000 (that’s important for later). There's this weird theory called Phantom Time Hypothesis suggests that Dark Ages (614-911 A.D.) never happened...The Phantom Time Hypothesis was first...

Vice President Kamala Harris accused Russia Thursday of committing “atrocities of unimaginable proportion” in Ukraine — while warning the US will “defend every inch of NATO territory” if the war spreads. Harris made the commitment while also saying that Russia “absolutely” should be investigated for war crimes.

@VP Harris awkwardly starts laughing when asked about the Ukrainian refugee crisis

We need a strong and measured president to lead America in these precarious times. One who doesn’t bandy loose threats of annihilation or petty insults against foreign leaders on social media. One who doesn’t necessarily embrace his role as being the most polarizing figure in American politics. One who passionately rebukes the media and demolishes their lies, but remains grounded in logic, reason, and facts. We need a leader who can’t be tied to leading America into COVID lockdowns or, right or wrong, the mythological January 6 “insurrection.” And most importantly, we need a leader that doesn’t come with the...

Even wearing a cloth mask made someone more attractive than not wearing anything at all on their face. But it wasn't just the high-quality masks that affected how participants ranked appearances. "We also found faces are considered significantly more attractive when covered by cloth masks than when not covered," Lewis said. "Some of this effect may be a result of being able to hide undesirable features in the lower part of the face—but this effect was present for both less attractive and more attractive people." Even though it may obscure your features, Lewis speculates that current events may have turned...

The head of a U.S.-funded biolab in Tbilisi, Georgia has spoken about how the facility is battling Russian disinformation and conspiracy theories as it tests for coronavirus in the country. On the outskirts of Tbilisi, staff at the U.S.-funded Lugar Research Center are helping to limit the spread of COVID-19 in Georgia by testing hundreds of samples and turning results around in under 24 hours. The lab, funded by $350 million in American taxpayer dollars, has been at the center of Georgian media coverage for weeks. But for years prior to this pandemic, it’s been the subject of media attention...

Making your entire economy a Landfill Economy dependent on the fantasy of infinite replacements and substitutions is the height of hubris and folly. Very few people ask: what if it breaks? It's a question we can ask of a great many things: touchscreens, motherboards, tools, vehicles, supply chains and entire systems: what if it breaks? The first thing we notice is the great number of things which can't be repaired, they can only be replaced. Good luck repairing the touchscreen or motherboard in your vehicle. Oops, the puncture in your tire is in the sidewall, no repair possible, buy a...

Last month, Austria became the first country in the world to make it illegal to be without proof of COVID vaccination, but the European nation has suspended its law after protests and reports the measure had no effect. The government said Wednesday the law was "not proportionate to the threat" of the omicron variant of the virus that caused COVID-19, which while more contagious presents with mild symptoms. The Austrian daily Kronen Zeitung reported the announcement was made only days before the government was set to impose fines of up to 3,600 euros, about $4,000, for the unvaccinated. However, Austria's...

Former Florida Dunkin’ manager Corey Pujos, 27, accused of fatally punching an elderly customer who called him the “‘n-word,” was given two years of house arrest as part of a plea deal. Pujos will undergo three years of probation following house arrest, must attend an anger management course, and must complete 200 hours of community service. He was initially charged with aggravated manslaughter before cutting a deal with prosecutors and pleaded guilty to a felony battery charge in exchange for the sentence. The incident occurred last year after 77-year-old Vonelle Cook went through the drive-thru at the Dunkin’ located at...

Yesterday, Pelosi called President of the Ukraine Zelenskyy. Is she going to impeach herself now? After all, she considered it an impeachable offense when Trump did it.

[PDF LINKS AT SITE...............] After the 2020 election ended with President Trump’s defeat, the federal cybersecurity agency declared it was a perfectly secure vote. Months later, federal prosecutors admitted two Iranian nationals hacked into a state’s database and stole the identities of 100,000 voters in an effort to influence the election. Likewise, Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers declared it was “outrageous” to think his state’s 2020 election needed to be investigated. Now, two separate courts have concluded that state election regulators illegally changed rules, allowing tens of thousands to cast ballots in an unlawful manner. And that probe Evers so stubbornly...

Journalists, pundits and liberal celebrities alike have offered an onslaught of energy takes as the Russia-Ukraine crisis unfolds and surging gas prices cause pain at the pump for average Americans. Americans are experiencing the highest gas prices since the 2007-09 financial crisis, with the national gas price average reaching more than $4 per gallon – the highest average to date, according to AAA. To combat the shocking price increase, many have echoed White House talking points lecturing Americans to buy more electric cars. Other liberal pundits have insisted Americans should simply eliminate oil dependence altogether without offering a viable alternative.

I last bought gas two weeks ago... it cost me $4.11. I'm like the little church lady who drives her car on Sunday to church so I'm fortunate that way. Walking past my local gas station yesterday, the price had risen to $5.29, an increase of $1.18. Kind of convenient for people who want to destroy the oil and gas industry? I'm in Northern California near Marysville. How much have prices risen where you are?

Let’s play Carter-era Throwback Thursday again, that’s always fun. The clothes of course were smashing,but the politics even more so. Forty years from now I suspect they’ll be saying the same thing about the Biden era.Coordinated facemasks all the rageIf, that is, anyone talks about it at all.Just like it’s hard today to find people who openly admit to having voted for Carter (twice!), I’m betting there won’t be many Millennials who will admit to having voting for Biden.And for many of the same reasons. Biden is looking to break Jimmy’s records in taxes, inflation, interest rates and cost of...

Biden blames Putin for his own disastrous policies, U.S. officials worry Russians will seize biolabs we funded in Ukraine, and the Department of Health and Human Services is recommending Americans enroll in an “After Vaccine Health Checker” to monitor any injuries they might sustain from the totally safe COVID vaccines. Russia Ate My Homework!

When spring finally arrives after a long, cold winter, it always seems like a good idea to get outside. “I’ll start a garden!” I think to myself. “I’ll save money by planting vegetables!” But then I wonder: is it really worth it? I’m a skeptic, so I had to get to the bottom of it. 1. How much can you save per vegetable? I looked at a few common, easy-to-grow vegetables to figure out how much they produce per seed, and therefore, how much growing one plant could save. Cucumbers Store price: $0.69 each or $0.99 each organic per cucumber...
