See, it’s important that you not use undeniably accurate terms to describe our enemies because by doing so you may convey truthful information that hurts liberals and, according to our conservative cruise ship betters, that’s not who we are. Well, that’s certainly not who they are, because if there’s one thing they simply cannot accept it is victory. And that includes victory over perverts who what to chat up your young ‘uns in kindergarten. Accordingly, we are not supposed to call groomers “groomers” anymore because people draw the right conclusions when we do, and that certainly will not do. If...

The presidency of Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr. was eerily foreshadowed by one of the most intriguing (and macabre) intelligence operations of World War II. A dwindling bunch though we may be, most remaining amateur World War II buffs are at least vaguely familiar with the story of Operation Mincemeat, the singularly clever British deception operation that took place in April 1943 immediately preceding the Allied invasion of Sicily. After driving the Germans and Italians out of North Africa, the most obvious next target for Allied invasion --- to both the attackers and defenders --- was the Italian island of Sicily....

The Trump endorsement is “now the most sought-after thing in politics” because Americans see the clear contrast between America under former President Donald Trump’s leadership and President Joe Biden’s, Lynne Patton, a senior adviser to Trump and his Save America PAC, told Breitbart News Saturday. Patton spoke to Breitbart News Saturday ahead of Trump’s big rally in Selma, North Carolina, in support of Rep. Ted Budd (R-NC), who is leading in the GOP Senate primary. Patton, a longtime Trump family aide, made it clear Trump “remains the undefeated leader” of the GOP and Trump’s endorsement gives Budd a significant...

It is difficult to remain objective over the Florida education fracas. So much of the episode fires up the amygdala. The innocence of children. The rights of parents. The sovereignty of individual identity. The never-ending scandal of humans and sex. To feign "neutrality" in this conflict is a sort of moral suicide. If none of this matters, what possibly could? As someone who taught school in progressive enclaves for 14 years, I can attest that there are many good people who oppose this law for fear that it will diminish the humanity of loved ones and reverse the tide of...

Physicians in America go through many years of training before they are ready to practice independently, often a decade or longer. This includes four years of medical school after four years of college, then a minimum of three years of residency training for primary care and up to six or seven years for many medical and surgical subspecialties. Medical knowledge changes rapidly, like the technology in your smart phone. According to Harvard Medical School, In science, the term “half-life” refers to the time it takes for a quantity of a substance to reduce itself by one-half. Today, the half-life of...

It was supposed to be just another routine weekly video conference for city Housing Authority bureaucrats to update managers on how things were going in public housing developments across the five boroughs. And then it went off the rails. One of the participants, a Bronx neighborhood administrator named Alex Tolozano, appeared in his Microsoft Teams window - naked and next to a woman. Another NYCHA employee on the call began videotaping the meeting. The video, obtained by THE CITY, reveals a blurry image of Tolozano with the woman and captures discussion among other NYCHA staff trying to figure out what...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Russia has tapped a new Ukraine war commander to take centralized control of the next phase of battle after its costly failures in the opening campaign and carnage for Ukrainian civilians. U.S. officials don’t see one man making a difference in Moscow’s prospects. Russia turned to Gen. Alexander Dvornikov, 60, one of Russia’s most experienced military officers and — according to U.S. officials — a general with a record of brutality against civilians in Syria and other war theaters. Up to now, Russia had no central war commander on the ground. The general’s appointment was confirmed...

Arab vandals broke into Joseph’s Tomb in Samaria early Monday morning, damaging the site just days after a similar incident. Several vandals were filmed breaking into the compound in the Palestinian Authority-controlled city of Shechem (Nablus) before dawn Monday, hurling blocks and damaging the site. The incident comes just hours after two Israeli men were shot while en route to the compound, a popular pilgrimage destination for members of the Breslov Hasidic movement. The two men are listed in light-to-moderate condition. Monday morning’s vandalism is the second such incident in recent days. Overnight Saturday, about a hundred Palestinian Arab rioters...

"When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost." "Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves." "Do all things without murmurings and disputings: That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;" John, Chapter 19 1 Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him. 2 And the soldiers platted a crown of...

Democrats are beginning to really worry about the 2022 elections. And they should. **SNIP** The odds are that the House Republicans will gain 25 to 70 seats as the voter tsunami builds in response to the economic, cultural and practical pain created by the Democrats’ policies. Fox News reported on the scare tactic the Democrats think they will be forced into: "MSNBC analyst John Heilemann revealed a ‘dark’ strategy Democrats are considering using to curb potential losses during the November midterm elections on ‘Deadline: White House’ Tuesday. The only solutions that will alleviate the various crises Biden is overseeing would...

Even in the face of rising mortgage rates and stagnating construction numbers, the housing market is still scorching hot. Because of this, it may be difficult to believe that more than 16 million homes across the U.S. are sitting vacant. But this doesn’t mean millions of abandoned and dilapidated homes are withering away in the suburbs. Vacant homes can be unoccupied for many reasons beyond being uninhabitable. For example, a house can be vacant because it’s still on the market to be sold or rented or it’s a vacation home not currently in use. Regardless of why homes are vacant,...

When Joe Biden was declared the winner of the 2020 presidential election, millions of Americans shared tears of relief and a shrug of acceptance. However, despite becoming president of the United States, voters always knew that there was one thing more important to Biden than helming the executive branch: ice cream. Despite his well-known fondness for the dessert, few expected that he would prioritize it over the most important job in the nation. Yet, Biden has announced that he has stepped down from the presidency effective immediately to chase an ice cream truck. “Look, folks,” began Biden in a video...

I'm interested in what the clever minds here consider as the most evil man in history. Was it Hitler, Marx , Judas , or someone else? Here is a late night thread to ponder this question.

A district attorney in Texas said Sunday that a woman who was arrested on a murder charge related to a self-induced abortion will not face prosecution. Lizelle Herrera was arrested last week and remained in custody Saturday on a $500,000 bond in the Starr County jail in Rio Grande City for allegedly causing "the death of an individual by self-induced abortion," sheriff's Maj. Carlos Delgado said in an earlier statement. But Starr County District Attorney Gocha Allen Ramirez said in a statement Sunday that "it is clear that Ms. Herrera cannot and should not be prosecuted for the allegation against...

Fox News Digital has seemingly decided to switch gears in favor of Republican firebrand and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, touting him as a strong 2024 contender for Donald Trump After a recent falling out with former President Donald Trump, Fox News appears to be gassing up another Republican contender for the 2024 nomination: Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. On Sunday, the conservative network ran a piece on the new Republican man of the hour and gushed over DeSantis' fundraising prowess. With the deadline to report March totals to the Florida Secretary of State approaching, DeSantis - branded 'a fundraising behemoth' by...

“When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly is wisdom” (Proverbs 11:2 KJV).

Rishi Sunak has written to the prime minister to ask for an investigation into his own affairs after days of criticism over his wife’s “non dom” tax status and lack of transparency over their financial affairs. The chancellor wrote to Boris Johnson asking him for a referral to Lord Geidt, the independent adviser, requesting a review of all his declarations since becoming a minister in 2018. Sunak said he was confident it would find “all relevant information was properly declared” on the advice of officials. It follows criticism that his entry on the list of ministers’ interests contains no mention...

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) vowed on Sunday that Republicans would “make sure Joe Biden is a moderate” if they retake Congress in the midterm elections later this year. “Well our agenda next year, if we’re fortunate to be in a majority, will be focused on exactly what you and I’ve been talking about. Crime, education, beefing up the defense of our country,” McConnell told Fox News anchor Dana Perino on “Fox News Sunday.” “We got big power competition with the Russians and the Chinese. We need to meet the demands of the international situation. So all of those...

France faces a brutal two-week campaign over the country’s future, as the centrist incumbent, Emmanuel Macron, faces the far-right Marine Le Pen for the presidency, positioning himself as a pro-European “progressive” against what he calls her anti-Muslim, nationalist programme and “complacency” about Vladimir Putin. Macron topped Sunday’s first round of the French presidential election with 27.6% of the vote, ahead of Le Pen’s 23.4%, according to initial projected results by Ipsos for France Télévisions. He scored higher than his result in the first round five years ago, and clearly gained support in the final hours of the campaign after his...
