The easiest way to lead the people down the wrong path is with a messiah figure. This person is always a cult leader. It must be someone who can compel the people to trust him, whether by portrayal of expertise or through pure charisma. Anthony Fauci was the former. He has been training and dreaming his whole life of being the go-to expert on a major health crisis and the Covid pandemic which he likely helped create turned out to be his moment in the sun. Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky is his replacement. Rather than expertise, he offers charisma. Governments...

World late Friday afternoon that Baby Cyrus Anderson was returned to his parents in Idaho. Conditions were imposed for state oversight but Baby Cyrus has been returned.

Earlier in the day there was word that social workers were questioning the mother about health issues the child has experienced in the custody of the state at St. Luke's Hospital.

The woman whose DNA from a sexual assault kit was used by San Francisco police to arrest her in an unrelated property crime six years later plans to sue the city, her attorney said Thursday, March 10. Three days earlier, San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin and California State Senator Scott Wiener announced legislation to ensure this invasion of privacy never occurs again. In February, the San Francisco Police brought a case to Boudin in which the agency used DNA from a sexual assault kit to implicate the victim in an unrelated property crime six years later. Boudin not only...

Joe Biden, Democrats, and the establishment media claimed that Hunter Biden’s authenticated ‘laptop from hell’ was “disinformation” and “propaganda” from Russia amidst the 2020 presidential election season. Despite the reporting of now-Breitbart’s Political Editor Emma-Joe Morris, who broke the story of Hunter’s laptop for the New York Post in the fall of 2020, Biden and his allies were quick to discredit the authenticated laptop as having “no basis” and being a “disinformation” campaign from Russia. Among those who discredited the story include then-presidential candidate Joe Biden, Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT), Rep. Adam Schiff (R-CA), CNN’s Wolf Blitzer, and now-White House...

White House press secretary Jen Psaki on Friday brushed off questions about President Biden’s conflicts of interest in Russia and China — telling The Post that she had “no confirmation” of the findings of a Senate report that found a firm linked to Hunter Biden got $3.5 million from a Russian billionaire who has yet to face US sanctions. And Psaki once again refused to say if Hunter Biden actually divested from a Chinese investment fund controlled by state-owned entities.

A mind-blowing 3D reconstruction has revealed what a Stone Age woman looked like 4,000 years ago. It’s now on display at Västernorrlands Museum in Sweden and is based on skeletal remains that were found in 1923. The remains of the Stone Age woman were found next to the body of a seven-year-old boy who may have been her son. Scientists have reconstructed her after all this time and designed her expression as if she was watching over her child....

Ana Navarro told her co-host Friday on ABC’s “The View” that Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) should not question Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s qualifications for the Supreme Court because he does not have the “moral standing” to do so. Goldberg said, “What’s crazy is the Republicans like Josh Hawley are already trying to derail her path to the bench, claiming that there’s past cases that show she let sex offenders off too easy, and he takes issue with the fact that she defended Guantanamo detainees, which is the law.”

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (AP) — Officials at Walt Disney World said Friday that a performance by a visiting Texas high school drill team that used American Indian stereotypes, including chants of “scalp them,” doesn’t reflect the Florida resort’s values. The performance this week in the Magic Kingdom by the “Indianettes” drill team from Port Neches-Grove High School “did not reflect our core values, and we regret it took place,” Disney spokeswoman Jacquee Wahler said in an emailed statement. An audition tape that the school had provided in order to be selected to perform at the theme park resort was...

Stepan, a beloved 13-year-old Ukrainian cat with over a million followers on Instagram, has managed to flee from his war-torn country — and found refuge in France with his owner after a harrowing trip to Poland. The world-famous feline from the heavily bombed city of Kharkiv worried his legion of fans when his account — @loveyoustepan — went dark for almost two weeks...

This song needs no introduction. I seriously thought Sting from the Police sung this at first LOL.

We could all see this coming. The Ukraine Russia conflict creates the opportunity for the Build Back Better initiatives to get triggered. None of this is happening organically. All of this is opportunism based on a series of dominos purposely triggered. Three government solutions surface simultaneously in an effort to exploit the crisis they created...

“‘Blessed are those who have been persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven’” (Matthew 5:10). The Greek word that is translated “persecuted” and “persecute” in Matthew 5:10–12 has the basic meaning of chasing, driving away, or pursuing. From that meaning developed the connotations of physical persecution, harassment, abuse, and other unjust treatment. The believer who possesses the qualities described in the first seven beatitudes will be willing to face persecution “for the sake of righteousness.” He will have an attitude of self-sacrifice for the sake of Christ. He is exemplified by a lack of...

Explanation: Bluish reflection nebulae seem to fill this dusty expanse. The sharp telescopic frame spans over 1 degree on the sky toward the faint but fanciful constellation Monoceros, the Unicorn. Seen within the Monoceros R1 cloud complex some 2,500 light-years away, bluish IC 447 is on the left, joined by a long dark filament of dust to IC 446 at lower right. Embedded in IC 447 are young, massive blue stars much hotter than the Sun, whose light is reflected by the cosmic cloud of star stuff. Observations reveal that IC 446 also contains a young stellar object, a massive...

Last year, the Xmas hamper we received contained a box, inside which was an unusual and exotic delicacy. There were Camel milk prepared artisanal single-origin chocolates that were present in varying sinfully seductive flavours. The dark chocolates that were enriched with nuts and coffee beans were especially irresistible. Truth be told, we had tasted camel milk during a visit to Bikaner some years back but not exactly fallen in love with it due to its slightly salty, mildly sour and sharp taste. But the bite this time did what the initial gulp couldn't. For centuries camel milk has been part...

Most elected Republicans and the base are moving in a different direction from the pro-Putin and anti-anti-Putin crowd. How far can Marjorie Taylor Greene and Madison Cawthorn go without breaking the silo? Bill Kristol joins Charlie Sykes for this weekend’s podcast.

The establishment media on Friday failed to retract reporting that Hunter’s “laptop from hell” was “Russian disinformation.” Specifically, the Huffington Post, The Intercept, and MotherJones have failed to retract reporting on a now-debunked Politico story from 2020 that claimed Hunter’s laptop was “Russian disinfo,” according to “dozens of former intel officials.”

President Joe Biden left Washington, DC, Friday evening for a trip to the beach, ahead of his trip to Europe next week.
