Accused Bully Journalist Taylor Lorenz Breaks Down In Tears Claiming To Have PTSD Over Mean Tweets

U.S. District Judge Mark Walker wrote a 288-page decision justifying his ruling that Florida’s recently enacted election integrity reforms are unconstitutional. The chief offending sections of the law included provisions to ensure the security of drop boxes, provisions to restrict bribing voters waiting in line at the polls, and regulations imposed on voter registration groups. Walker contends that “limiting the placement of drop boxes to locations where the chain-of-custody can be continuously maintained is racist. Many racial minorities fear entering public buildings because of prior negative interactions with police, incarceration, or the slavery suffered by their forebears. To offset these...

As PJM’s Matt Margolis noted Thursday, “During her confirmation hearings, Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s despicable record on sentencing child porn offenders became a key issue. Republicans pointed out that she had a pattern of giving these perverts lenient sentences, while Democrats made excuses for her and kept gushing over her status as a black woman.” And it’s even worse than we thought: investigative journalist Paul Sperry revealed Saturday that Jackson “heard horrifying details of ‘sadomasochistic’ torture of young kids — including ‘infants and toddlers’ — yet challenged the disturbing evidence presented by prosecutors and disregarded their prison recommendations to give...

Dear friends, in light of our EXPONENTIALLY imploding society; all that is now left to do is to continue to petition our Heavenly Father for our nation in light of our current dire national situation and dilemma that engulfs our land and media; and to call for a Divine RIGHTEOUS REPENTANCE back to the God of our Founders (Psalm 64, Phil. 4:6-7). Without a sincere Divine RIGHTEOUS REPENTANCE we are truly done here in America! Without a sincere Divine RIGHTEOUS REPENTANCE we are truly done here in America! I truly believe Almighty God has now allowed the full EXPONENTIAL weight...

The Russian military targeted the major oil refinery in the central Ukrainian city in a series of strikes, including "high-precision long-range and sea-based weapons," Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov told CNN. The strikes destroyed storage facilities holding gasoline and diesel fuels for Ukrainian troops in the country's eastern and central regions.

Biden promised full transparency and accessibility in his administration. Yet, there is zero transparency or accessibility to this president. Every time Biden opens his mouth, he puts two feet in it, and his White House handlers have to clean up the mess, either by re-interpreting what he said or by lying even more. The dishonesty exhibited by Biden, his administration, and Democrats is so obscene that only diehard supporters believe them at this juncture.Unlike Trumps’ openness and full engagement with reporters and the media, to minimize Biden’s gaffes, his handlers, as he asserted on numerous occasions, would not allow reporters...

Viktor Orban has now served twelve years as prime minister of Hungary, emerging as one of the most exemplary conservative leaders of our time. On Sunday, he once again faces re-election as he seeks to lead Hungary for a fourth term as prime minister. Although this is a pivotal election for Hungary and for Europe, it is also vital for American conservatives to hope and pray for an Orban victory. For one, Orban has shown what populist conservatives can do when given sufficient time and political capital to succeed. While it is true that the system of government in Hungary...

Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo hit Albany’s ethics watchdog with a lawsuit Friday, accusing it of “extraordinary bias” against him as he seeks to hold onto proceeds from his $5.1 million book deal. The Joint Commission on Public Ethics voted overwhelmingly in November to rescind its decision that allowed Cuomo to write “American Crisis: Leadership Lessons from the COVID-19 Pandemic,” arguing state resources were used to write the book, which it said contained “serial omissions and misrepresentations” about New York’s pandemic response. ... The former governor claimed that staff members who worked on the book did so on their...

Ukrainian farmers have been stealing tanks and other Russian military equipment with their tractors. Videos have surfaced online in recent weeks, and the question many have asked is what happens with all the captured war machines? It just so happens that the Ukrainian parliament (also known as Rada) passed a new measure rewarding anyone, even Russian soldiers, to turn over equipment to Ukraine for a reward. “For a helicopter – 500 thousand dollars, a tank – 100 thousand, respectively. If, for example, someone is ready to come to us by plane – it’s a million dollars,” the first vice-speaker of...

A Missouri high school announced it would ban smartphones and smartwatches beginning Monday. Steelville High School made the announcement Thursday on Facebook, claiming it's the school's latest attempt to prevent students from taking photos and videos of each other for social media. The new policy is a roundabout way to prevent child pornography from being filmed in the form of impromptu videos in school bathrooms, according to the principal. ... Student devices will be locked up and returned upon dismissal or they may choose to not bring them at all," Principal Steven Vetter wrote. "Any student who violates this new...

I love America. I have always been patriotic and spent two years of my life in the U.S. Army serving my beloved country. Our nation is beautiful and has been abundantly blessed by God but sadly our time in the sun is coming to an end and the barbarians are at the gate. Presidents Clinton, Obama, Biden and Bush made some dicey decisions that weakened America. RINO Republicans who knew better, aided and abetted our demise. All the kings horses and all the kings men will never put America back together again. "Say it ain't so," you cry! Our borders...

Fourth Week of Lent John 7:40-53 Friends, we see in today’s Gospel how Jesus’ preaching caused division. Some hearers believed him, but others wanted to arrest him. The life, preaching, and mission of Jesus are predicated upon the assumption that all is not well with us, that we stand in need of a renovation of vision, attitude, and behavior. A few decades ago, the book I’m OK—You’re OK appeared. Its title, and the attitude that it embodies, are inimical to Christianity. The fact of sin is so often overlooked today. Look, no one has ever savored being accused of sin,...

The heads of Germany’s large, energy intensive companies have warned against severe damages that would be caused by a stop to Russian gas deliveries. “If we cut off Russian gas deliveries, the repercussions will be dramatic,” Christian Bruch, CEO of Siemens Energy told Handelsblatt. For some industries, a steady gas supply is existential, said Bruch. “Just take the glass industry. Once the systems go cold, they're gone,” he said, adding that it was questionable whether the affected companies would invest in Germany again afterwards. Bruch said production without Russian gas would be possible by importing liquified natural gas (LNG) and...

A new study shows that a potential treatment for Alzheimer's disease may also improve cognitive function in people with Down syndrome. The drug sargramostim (GM-CSF, which stands for granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor) is the first to show memory improvement in Alzheimer's patients in a phase II clinical trial. GM-CSF is a normal human protein that is safe and well-tolerated with over 30 years of FDA-approved use for other disorders. A multidisciplinary team studied the safety and tolerability of GM-CSF treatment and its effects on behavior and brain pathology in a mouse model of Down syndrome and in mice undergoing typical aging....

The Senate Judiciary Committee hearings for Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson have concluded and it’s looking like the votes will be there for a final confirmation, but senators’ questions are still being answered in written form. Here’s one of Judge Jackson’s written answers to a question from Republican Sen. Ted Cruz, and it’s about natural rights:

A day after thieves nabbed items valued at $35,000 from Burberry on Michigan Avenue in Chicago, a similar incident happened at a nearby Gucci on Friday, police said, adding that the group fled in a stolen car. Authorities believe the same suspects were involved in both incidents, CWB Chicago reported on Friday:

Republicans are expected to do well in the November elections, but just how well remains to be seen. Democrats hold a narrow 12-seat majority over the GOP. Flipping just a handful of those seats will likely result in a Republican taking the speaker’s gavel from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA). However, Rep. Jerry Carl (R-AL) said he believes the eventual likely Republican majority will be much larger.

A detailed list of the destroyed and captured vehicles and equipment of both sides can be seen below. This list is constantly updated as additional footage becomes available.

A comic about social Credit system. This comes from a fairly new convert to the Christian faith, but anyone not Christian can see this is how society is heading. Lovely People Comic
