In modern Chinese history, Sun Yat-sen (1866-1925) holds a unique place. He led the revolution that overthrew the Qing dynasty in 1911; devoted his life to championing an independent and democratic China; and was a revolutionary leader and a man of vision. Sun remains the only political leader honored by both mainland China and Taiwan. What’s fascinating about Sun, but little known in America, is that his birthplace, formal education, medical training, religious faith, and political values made him a true American. Sun’s elder brother concealed the fact that Yat-sen was an American. His family would claim that he was...

resident Joe Biden's feckless, weak leadership in foreign affairs and his misguided "green" energy policies are killing innocent women and children by financing Vladimir Putin's genocidal invasion of Ukraine. Biden's ideologically driven energy policies are also wrecking the U.S. economy, but that's for another column -- as is our analysis of how Hunter Biden's activities have compromised his father. That's our upcoming piece: "Never Underestimate the Power of Blackmail." This week, our research shows how Biden's energy policies are financing the horrific genocide and war crimes Putin is perpetrating against the Ukrainian people. According to the Ukrainian government, more than...

Brian Benjamin surrendered to authorities early Tuesday morning to face fraud-related charges in connection with a previous political campaign, two people with knowledge of the situation told The Daily Beast.

Testing Mania: Illogical and Harmful This adapted excerpt is from Dr. Scott W. Atlas’ bestselling book, A Plague Upon Our House, published by Bombardier. By the time I arrived at the end of July 2020, the administration had already developed a massive testing capacity from scratch. Nearly a million tests per day were being conducted. The effort was led by Admiral Giroir, who was assigned the thankless task of overseeing that project. I understood why the VP was so excited when he had displayed that simplistic chart on my first visit. And over the next weeks the administration continued to...

Multiple people were shot in a Brooklyn subway station where "several undetonated devices" were also found on Tuesday morning, the Fire Department of New York said. The FDNY did not elaborate on the devices found, but said they were called to the 36th Street subway station in Brooklyn's Sunset Park neighborhood for a smoke condition at about 8:30 a.m. There, multiple people were found shot, the FDNY said.

The US inflation numbers were released this morning and they are grim. Inflation YoY grew to 8.5%. With 8.5% YoY inflation, REAL average hourly earnings growth fell to -3% YoY. And with The Fed intent on extinguishing their part of the inflation, Bankrate’s 30Y mortgage rate rose to 5.14%. Energy is the biggest culprit (fuel oil up 70.1% YoY) thanks to the double whammy of 1) Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and 2) Biden’s restrictions on oil and natural gas production. Food at home is up 10% YoY. The Taylor Rule model now says that The Fed Funds Target Rate should...

It was like a scene from a dystopian B-movie. Over a bleak, black city, in the dead of night, a drone emerged. From its speaker, it issued monotone instructions to the masses locked in their homes in the apartment blocks below. ‘Control the soul’s desire for freedom!’, the robotic voice said. ‘Do not open the window or sing!’, the joyless flying machine said. Then came the robot dogs. They staggered through deserted streets, barking diktats at residents cowering behind their curtains: ‘Wear a mask, wash your hands, check your temperature.’ No one dares ‘disobey the dog’s diktats’, according to one...

Author Naomi Wolf discussed the global implications of the "zero-COVID" lockdowns occurring in Shanghai, China, on "Tucker Carlson Tonight" Monday. NAOMI WOLF: 2020 was the story. It launched a narrative and the narrative is you can restrain billions of people, lock them in their homes, inject them against their will, mask them against their will, destroy their economies, suppress all their human rights. But if the narrative said COVID, that was the plausible deniability that you weren't actually just a flat-out fascistic tyrant. So that was just a preamble. And so now Shanghai is the next step. There's nothing now,...

An easing in core inflation pressures took the edge off the fastest headline reading since 1981 as headline CPI surged to 8.5% in March. U.S. inflation accelerated to the fastest pace in four decades again last month, data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics indicated Wednesday, but a slight retreat in core consumer prices suggests pressures may be easing heading into the summer months. The headline consumer price index for the month of March was estimated to have risen 8.5% from last year, up from the 7.9% pace in February and the fastest rate since December of 1981. On a...

Multiple shootings, possible explosives. More to come.

National Big Wind Day is observed each year in the United States on April 12. The day commemorates the recording of the highest natural wind gust measured on the Earth’s surface. It was on the afternoon of April 12, 1934, that winds blowing at 231 miles per hour were recorded by Mount Washington Observatory. Mount Washington is the highest peak in the Northeastern United States at 6,288 ft. It is said to be the most notable mountain east of the Mississippi River. While it is difficult to say if the day will receive strong winds as it did in 1934,...

Will he stay or will he go? Not even Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) can answer that question regarding a possible run for re-election in 2024. Romney told the Hill a second term is not really at the forefront of his current thinking. “I’m going to cross that bridge down the road. I haven’t given a lot of attention yet,” he said following his recent support for Ketanji Brown Jackson, the first Black woman to be elevated to the Supreme Court. As Breitbart News reported, Romney won gushing praise from President Joe Biden for standing with him behind Jackson’s confirmation. Romney...

The Courtauld Gallery has been criticised for introducing a 'woke' new label on a Manet masterpiece that warns viewers of the 'unsettling' presence of a man.

The Bible In Paintings 2 ENCOURAGEMENT FOR APPRECIATING AND APPLYING GOD'S MESSAGE J U D G E S CHAPTER 4 Then Deborah said to Barak, “Go! This is the day the LORD has given Sisera into your hands. Has not the LORD gone ahead of you?” So Barak went down Mount Tabor, followed by ten thousand men. At Barak’s advance, the LORD routed Sisera and all his chariots and army by the sword, and Sisera abandoned his chariot and fled on foot. But Barak pursued the chariots and army. All the troops of Sisera fell by the sword; not...

WASHINGTON, Friday, April 11. Mr. FOX, Assistant Secretary of the Navy, returned from Fortress Monroe to-day. He has been in the vicinity for the past five days, expecting to witness the destruction of the rebel steamer Merrimac if she ventured out from under the shelter of Craney Island rebel batteries, where she lay up to 10 1/2 o'clock this morning. In her present position she controls the mouth of James River, and will choose to remain there at present to prevent our gunboats from going up that river to shell the right wing of the enemy, now powerfully fortified on...
