The deception and lies begin in the name. (Yes, I understand the procedural process of how a bill on Haiti is striped of its language and replaced with language to spend America into an endless spiral of inflation.) This is the omnibus spending bill. It's not a budget. When was the last time we had one of those? Congress can't even call it what it is. They don't have time to read it, but they have time to add to it. It is clear that everyone who voted for this bill a economic retard. They intentionally want to destroy America.

A career criminal indicted in February on a murder charge for allegedly beating to death a 67-year-old man was freed without bail by a Manhattan judge on Thursday Eugene Clark was on parole when he was initially charged by cops with assault for the Sept. 20, 2020 pummeling of Ramon Luna, 67, who was knocked into a coma before dying from his injuries last August Luna was taken to Harlem Hospital after the vicious attack. Doctors there discovered he had suffered multiple brain bleeds, according to a criminal complaint. Police busted Clark nine days after the brutal attack. On Feb....

A blood-covered pregnant woman pictured fleeing the deadly blast that hit her maternity hospital this week has given birth to a baby girl amid ongoing airstrikes in the “apocalyptic” Ukrainian city of Mariupol. Mariana Vishegirskaya was photographed in a makeshift hospital room Friday as her husband lovingly held their daughter, Veronika. The new mom was still wearing the polka dot-patterned pajamas that she was photographed in as she made her way out of the blown-apart hospital Wednesday, with blood across her shellshocked face.

As all government, in its essence, is organized exploitation, and in virtually all existing forms it is an implacable enemy of every industrious and well-disposed man.In theory, it invades his liberty and collars his money only in order to protect him, but in truth it always makes a stiff profit on the exchange. That profit represents the income of the professional politicians, nine-tenths of whom are simply professional rogues. They employ a great many technicians to carry on the ostensible functions of government, and some of those technicians are honorable and competent men, but the politicians themselves are seldom either....

The bill states that if the office of the Attorney General determines that a nonprofit has engaged or incited one of these acts, it would be required to notify the Franchise Tax Board, which would then revoke their California tax-exempt status.

As the Russia-Ukraine war continues to rage, the U.S. Navy is in a “stand-off” with the commander of a new warship that cost taxpayers nearly $2 billion to build over his refusal to get a COVID-19 vaccine. “An ongoing legal battle over whether the military can force troops to get vaccinated against COVID-19 has left the Navy with a warship they say they can’t deploy because it is commanded by an officer they cannot fire,” the Navy Times reported Tuesday. “It’s a standoff the brass are calling a ‘manifest national security concern,’ according to recent federal court filings.” The outlet...

This is something I have been perplexed about or at least had questions about. I understand Poland has offered the Ukraine their MiG-29's hoping to replace them with American F-16's. I understand that the Biden administration put a stop for that. 43 Republican Senators want to push the deal, which won't happen. However my question is this; of what use would aircraft do in this particular situation without AWACS or airborne command and control? Most air to air combat seems to be over the horizon as opposed to dogfighting. Would they not have to turn on their radars to look...

No matter the nature of your St. Patrick's Day traditions, great food is an absolute must. From classic (and not-so-classic) soda breads to stout-battered onion rings and corned beef galore, these 19 Irish-inflected dishes and cocktails will keep you well-fed all day long. Breads Real Irish Soda Bread In the olden days, soda bread was baked over hot coals in a skillet, where the bread developed a thick, lovely crust. Now we bake the bread in our oven, but doing so in a Dutch Oven produces the same crusty loaf that we love so much. Irish Brown Bread If you...

The society is among the first in the North American arts world to take a firm stand in support of Ukraine. The artistic director of the Vancouver Recital Society said she stands by the group’s decision to cancel a concert by Russian pianist Alexander Malofeev in response to the war in Ukraine, calling the choice a “horrible” one to make. Leila Getz said she has been trying to book the 20-year-old “Russian genius” for six years, with two previous concerts postponed by pandemic-related issues. But even though there was a new date arranged for the event in August, the society...

Russia opened a criminal case against Facebook's parent Meta Platforms on Friday and moved to designate it as an "extremist organisation" after the social network changed its hate speech rules to allow users to call for violence against Russians in the context of the war with Ukraine.

Russia hastily called a Friday morning U.N. Security Council meeting late on Thursday evening to discuss in open debate what it called "the military biological activities of the US on the territory of Ukraine" — leading the Biden administration to immediately denounce it as a "false flag effort."

In an impassioned and tearful testimony this week, Florida state Sen. Shevrin Jones pleaded with his colleagues to vote against the state legislature’s controversial Parental Rights in Education bill, known to its critics as the “Don’t Say Gay” bill. Like other LGBTQ+ advocates, Jones, who is the state Senate’s first openly gay member, argued that the bill, which prohibits classroom instruction about sexual orientation and gender identity that is not “age appropriate or developmentally appropriate” for children, would likely force LGBTQ+ students further into the closet and stigmatize the experiences of people who are not heterosexual or cisgender.

Rotating 3D view of Earth's blobs. (Cottaar & Lekic/Geophysical Journal International, 2016) ********************************************************************************************* Earth's interior is not a uniform stack of layers. Deep in its thick middle layer lie two colossal blobs of thermo-chemical material. To this day, scientists still don't know where both of these colossal structures came from or why they have such different heights, but a new set of geodynamic models has landed on a possible answer to the latter mystery. These hidden reservoirs are located on opposite sides of the world, and judging from the deep propagation of seismic waves, the blob under the African continent...

Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is an investigative journalist and writer focusing on the radical Left and Islamic terrorism. Ukrainian flags are flying on buildings across the country and Russian vodka is being poured into drains. Concerts are being canceled and books are flying off shelves over a cause that the vast majority of Americans would not have cared about and did not even know existed last year. In a matter of weeks everyone has come around to having a passionate opinion on the subject. And when the war in Ukraine has come and gone,...

Experts have said they are baffled by the ineptitude of the tactics displayed by Russia's armies after drone footage yesterday showed a column of tanks getting picked off one-by-one in an ambush carried out by Ukraine's forces. Analysts have said Russian tank commanders allowed the Ukrainians to ambush their unit by driving down the middle of a main road leading into Kyiv - and straight into a death trap. By multiple counts, President Vladimir Putin's forces have lost more tanks than are operational in entire German army. The devastating artillery strikes came as Putin's troops inched closer to Kyiv, and...

William Kilpatrick is a Shillman Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center. His books include Christianity, Islam, and Atheism: The Struggle for the Soul of the West (Ignatius Press), What Catholics Need to Know About Islam (Sophia Press), and The Politically Incorrect Guide to Jihad. One of the ironies of our times is that while Vladimir Putin threatens nuclear war, the Biden administration is anxious to enter into a nuclear deal with Iran which, critics say, will only serve to hasten Iran’s development of nuclear weapons. As the world contemplates the awful possibility of a Russian-inflicted nuclear holocaust, Biden is...

For example, I found something yesterday buried deep in my picture files that I don’t even remember saving. And now it turns out it might actually be useful, given the state of the world today: a nuclear bomb calculator.This circular slide rule describes the effects of a nuclear explosion on people…From 1962 onward, copies of The Effects of Nuclear Weapons had a pocket containing a Nuclear Bomb Effects Computer. Setting the indices on the front of the instrument for the yield of a nuclear bomb in megatons and the distance of its explosion in miles, scales on the front of...
