A radical environmental group raised a few eyebrows on Twitter after encouraging people to let the tires out of SUVs in an apparent bid to combat climate change.The group, Adbusters, tweeted step-by-step instructions for the provocation on Wednesday, calling it a "gentle escalation" or ramping up the urgency about climate change."Wedge gravel in the tire valves, leaflet the SUV to let them know the tires are flat and why it was done, and walk away. It’s that simple," the group tweeted. "If we organize, we can hit enough SUVs in particular neighborhoods to spark reporting and spread the metameme."

A University of Buffalo student is speaking out after she was chased by a woke mob at an event on campus with Lt. Col. Allen West, claiming she was scared for her life. Young Americans for Freedom President Therese Purcell joined "Fox & Friends First" Monday to discuss the incident and how the meeting spiraled out of control. "I was really afraid for my life since they physically assaulted my friend, and like I said, they were screaming, no peace," Purcell told co-host Todd Piro. "I don't think they were going to do anything remotely peaceful. They were a very...

Apparently it doesn't take much for Twitter engineering manager Jay Holler to be "broken." In his case, Holler whined that Elon Musk has "broken" him simply by buying the shares of Twitter stock and being named to its board of directors. Although Holler thinks that is what has broken him it is really the reaction to his petty whining that could break Holler into a thousand little pieces. Let us start with Hollers pathetic whine on Twitter about being broken by Musk upon finding out he is the largest single shareholder of the company.

The Biden Administration, the Democrat Party, and Democrat leaders in Congress have sponsored separate policies, laws, and initiatives that when viewed as a whole reveal one profound commonality, an intent to knock down every pillar of our free society: to sacrifice individual and parental rights; to destroy our free-market economy; to abandon our border defenses against illegal immigration, cross-border drug, sex, and arms trafficking, and terrorist infiltration; to defund the police and halt detention, prosecution, and incarceration of criminals; and to destroy the nuclear family. In short, the Democrat Party’s platform is one of nihilism. The Democrat Party calls its...

John Hinderaker presents in Powerline a recent New York Post poll concluding, “A government that can’t keep its citizens reasonably safe is a failed regime…the poll, released Wednesday by Fontas Advisors/Core Decision Analytics, presented voters with this statement: ‘My family would have a better future if we left New York City permanently.’ The poll found 59% of respondents strongly or somewhat agreed with the statement, while 41% somewhat or strongly disagreed…a 12 percentage-point jump from voters who were asked the same question a year ago. Why do a clear majority of New Yorkers say they would be better off somewhere...

What children should be taught about sex and gender, and when, has become a hot topic across the country. But parents didn’t choose this — it was forced upon them. Starting in September, New Jersey first-graders will learn about gender identity under new sex education guidelines. Parents received sample lesson plans at a Westfield Board of Education meeting in February; one read, “You might feel like you’re a boy even if you have body parts that some people might tell you are ‘girl’ parts. You might feel like you’re a girl even if you have body parts that some people...

The world over and through eons of time the principles of communism must always fail and capitalism must always prevail. The danger comes when the most successful societies attract the attention of the communists. The central issue at play in both systems, communism and capitalism, and the cause of failure or success, is innovation. Communists are communists, because they’re administrators, mid-level managers who recognize the need to use threats and force to obtain results. If they begin as communists, they are attracted to these positions where there is no requirement of specific talents or abilities other than the willingness to...

Five more House lawmakers have tested positive for COVID-19 in recent days, adding to the growing number of Washington, D.C. figures coming down with the virus. Reps. Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-Ill.), Earl Blumenauer (D-Ore.), Frank Pallone (D-N.J.), Lisa Blunt Rochester (D-Del.) and Elaine Luria (D-Va.) have all announced positive COVID-19 test results since Friday. A number of high-profile political figures have disclosed coronavirus cases in the past week, including top-ranking lawmakers and administration officials, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Attorney General Merrick Garland among them.

A Pennsylvania man fed up with rising gas prices was arrested after he put stickers on fuel pumps featuring a finger-pointing Joe Biden that say 'I did that!' in a protest gaining traction around the country.

A new study has graded states by how well they handled the coronavirus pandemic and its subsequent restrictions and lockdowns, showing a stark contrast between liberal and conservative states. The Committee To Unleash Prosperity study compared state performance on metrics including the economy, education, and mortality from the virus, and examined how states and their respective governments handled the pandemic response. New York, California, New Jersey and Illinois were among the worst in dealing with the coronavirus, performing "poorly on every measure," the report said. These states "had high age-adjusted death rates; they had high unemployment and significant GDP losses,...

The housing and mortgage markets are addicted to gov. MarketWatch had an interesting piece on mortgages entitled “Here’s how much a 40-year mortgage would save you each month vs. a 30-year loan. And the ultimate cost.” To make a long story short, a 40-year mortgage, by stretching the payment out from 30 to 40 years, means that the mortgage mortgage payment declines from $1,687 to $1,504. But with The Fed planning on taking away the monetary punchbowl, mortgage rates are rising making housing even more unaffordable. But most things are not equal. The 40-year mortgage results in a slower paydown...

Videos surfacing on social media in the past week from Shanghai – and rapidly deleted on government-controlled sites like Weibo – show mounting desperation as a poorly planned coronavirus lockdown leaves the heart of China’s economy with rotting food and a lack of basic necessities. Many of the videos surfacing on Weibo, China’s most popular micro-blogging platform, cannot be independently verified and disappear shortly after they appear, but translators outside of the country have saved and circulated them, painting a picture of a growing catastrophe alongside anonymous warnings from farms and food distributors that their supplies are rotting while people...

CINCINNATI, Thursday, April 10. A correspondent of the Times writes the following account of the Pittsburgh battle: Our forces were stationed in the form of a semi-circle, the right resting on a point north of Crump's Landing, our centre being in front of the main road to Corinth, and our left extending to the river in the direction of Hamburgh, four miles north of Pittsburgh Landing. At 2 o'clock, on the morning of the 6th, 400 men of Gen. PRENTISE' Division were attacked by the enemy, half a mile in advance of our lines. Our men fell back on the...

NEVADA, Iowa (AP) — In 2008, this overwhelmingly white state was Barack Obama’s unlikely launching pad to become the nation’s first Black president. Fourteen years later, Iowans aren’t showing a similar embrace for the woman running to become its first Black governor. Democrat Deidre DeJear is finding Iowa a much changed place, trending staunchly conservative, endorsing many aspects of Trumpism, with an electorate that is so far displaying little interest in her history-making candidacy. Educated younger adults who were once reliable Democratic voters have fled rural Iowa seeking opportunities elsewhere. The strength of organized labor has eroded. Obama’s general election...

Family and friends of Brianna Kupfer hosted a charity run for the slain UCLA grad student on Saturday, nearly three months after police say a homeless man walked into the Los Angeles furniture store where she was working alone and fatally stabbed her in a "random" attack.

The rampage occurred across two days. Wortman murdered 13 people in the Portapique neighbourhood where he owned a cottage, where he also set fire to the homes of many of his victims. Wortman then hid out for the night behind a welding shop in Debert, N.S., and then began killing again, mostly at roadside locations both north and south of Portapique starting at 6:36 a.m. The most contentious part of the inquiry surrounds this second day, and the notion that police may have been able to prevent some of the nine additional murders if they had appropriately sounded the alarm....

The Bible In Paintings 2 ENCOURAGEMENT FOR APPRECIATING AND APPLYING GOD'S MESSAGE J U D G E SCHAPTER 4 The Israelites once again did evil in the eyes of the LORD. So the LORD sold them into the hands of Jabin, a king of Canaan. The commander of his army was Sisera. Because he had nine hundred iron chariots and had cruelly oppressed the Israelites for twenty years, they cried to the LORD for help. Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lappidoth, was leading Israel at that time. She held court under the Palm of Deborah, and the Israelites...

- Elon Musk, 50, last week was revealed to be the biggest shareholder in Twitter, having bought a stake worth 9.2 percent - four times that of founder Jack Dorsey. - Agrawal said he thought Musk's decision was 'for the best' and said the company must remain focused on its corporate goals. - He did not say why Musk would not join, but suggested that shareholders had expressed concern. - Several Twitter employees tweeted reactions to the announcement, seemingly agitated by the roller coaster surrounding Musk's company involvement. - On Monday, Twitter stock briefly fell to 8% in premarket...
