It took Jimmy Carter three years for his popularity among the wildlife community to sink to the point that a hissing swamp rabbit defied the Secret Service cordon and assailed Carter, but here we are, not yet 18 months into Biden’s reign, and pigeons are pooping on him. Though probably not near as much as voters will in November. Well at least he hasn’t lot a battleship (yet), unlike that other guy.

Putin, Xi Jinping, and the world’s other tyrants are symptoms, not causes of the existential threats America faces. Here’s a question that Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, who wrote his Warning to the West 46 years ago, would ask American patriots: Will you be faithful to stand up against the tyranny of our day?! Will we live or die on this hill that our Nation’s forefathers feared would be America’s end without the corrections of our Declaration of Independence, Constitution, and Bill of Rights? Half of our country has lost entirely the meaning underlying our original documents, which were rooted in principles of...

Joe Biden sent his family scathing articles about Hillary’s declining popularity with black voters, impending investigation over her private email server and her top aide’s private deals with the UAE. Joe sent an email to Hunter, with the subject ‘Mills’....linked to a WsJ editorial on Hillary’s top aide Cheryl Mills, who was paid to negotiate a private deal with the United Arab Emirates. Two weeks later Joe sent another email, containing a link to a Wall Street Journal editorial on Hillary’s top aide Cheryl Mills, who the Washington Post revealed was paid to negotiate a private deal with the United...

The warmists will never give up on the global warming hoax. In the Monty Python sketch, “The Parrot,” a customer returns a parrot he had bought just 30 minutes before. Why? Because it is dead. The shopkeeper insists that the parrot is not dead but resting. Nothing the customer says can change the shopkeeper’s mind. Our modern-day shopkeepers, the global warmists, insist a cataclysmic doom is our future unless we throw the entire world into a state of complete chaos. There have been a number of studies on our side that show global warming is a hoax. Will the left...

Don’t be fooled, though, into thinking that the administration intends to ease up on the inflationary pressure from high fuel prices. It means, instead, to stifle drilling. Inflation in America is the worst it’s been in over 40 years, with much of the inflationary pressure coming from soaring fuel prices. On Friday, though, the Biden administration announced with pride that it has refused all but 20% of the requests for oil and gas leases on federal land as well as raising royalty prices for drilling companies. The Biden administration’s goal isn’t to make life better for ordinary Americans; its goal,...

Awhite nationalist displayed a toddler-like tantrum on his conservative show because he didn’t want to see Black people at the Country Music Awards. Patrick Howley, the right-wing reporter, first proved his ignorance when he failed to recognize the host of the show, Anthony Mackie. “I don’t know who this Black guy is who’s hosting it. It’s supposed to be country music,” the bitter white man said as he showed a clip of the award show to his viewers. “No offense. Y’all have hip hop, basketball. Just fly with your flock, bro.”..... “There were so many Black people there,” he said....

The guest essay literally proposes killing God. “The God-shaped hole” posits that humans are hardwired to seek meaning through a divinity. Certainly, no culture has ever been without a God—and that’s true for Marxist cultures, which have sought to make a god of man, always with deadly results. The most recent example of this comes from a guest essay at the New York Times from a very angry, lapsed Orthodox Jew who insists that the world would be better if it “passed over” God. It’s a sad, foolish essay but one that the Times thought worth running on the holiest...

The Biden Administration has decided to extend the federal public transportation mask mandate for another two weeks “to monitor [the] uptick in COVID-19 cases,” says the AP’s White House reporter. Joe Biden couldn’t be doing more to elect Republicans if he tried. First things first: The Biden Administration never should have issued that mandate in the first place, and certainly should have allowed that mandate to expire. Vulnerable in-cycle Democrats – but I repeat myself – are going to be wondering what they did to anger the leader of their party so much that he decided to hurt them even...

I don't think Washington, D.C.'s J6 propaganda will succeed. I get so ticked off whenever our contemptible congresscritters or their praetorian propagandists in the press call J6 an "insurrection." Did the world really witness a bunch of rowdy Americans try to overthrow the U.S. government on January 6, 2021? Would some of the country's strongest defenders of the right to bear arms really show up for battle bearing none? Did anybody in that crowd — many of whom were retirees welcomed into the Capitol Building by Capitol Police — actually believe that an "insurrection" was taking place? The answer to...

Ever since the international community aimed to punish the Iranian regime for its illicit nuclear activities and its support of global terrorism and regional warmongering, Tehran has tried to find ways to sidestep the sanctions regime through money laundering, smuggling and hostage taking. In March 2021, in his new year’s address and three months before installing Ebrahim Raisi as the new president, the Iranian regime’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei gave instructions about how to steer the regime away from being vulnerable to sanctions. “Our emphatic advice to the officials of our country, whether those who are now in office or...

While millions of Ukrainians have fled their country since the start of the Russian invasion, nearly a million refugees have also returned to Ukraine as tensions ease in some areas of the country. In the last week alone, around 330,000 Ukrainian refugees have returned to their country, with a total of 870,000 having returned in total so far. A spokesman for Ukrainian Border Security has claimed that between 25,000 and 30,000 Ukrainians are returning to the country each day. While nearly a million people have returned, the number of those who have fled the country still heavily outweighs those...

Or How Twitter undermines freedom.May Doge save us. There is finally a viable solution to restoring freedom culture online, and his name is Elon Musk. The famous debonair Tesla billionaire, made it clear on Thursday in a TED Talk of his intention to own a majority stake in Twitter, and enact free speech reforms for our unofficial public town square. Users of the platform are overwhelming pleased at this potential development, but the media and the establishment have lost their ever-loving minds. With some claiming that this could be the end of democracy! Of course, like usual, they are wrong....

They fought like Tigers," wrote a CIA officer who helped train the Cuban freedom-fighters who landed at The Bay of Pigs 61 years ago this week... "But their fight was doomed before the first man hit the beach." That CIA man, Grayston Lynch, knew something about fighting -- and about long odds. He carried scars from Omaha Beach, The Battle of the Bulge and Korea's Heartbreak Ridge. But in those battles, Lynch and his band of brothers could count on the support of their own chief executive. At the Bay of Pigs, Lynch and his band of Cuban brothers learned...

When did so many young and healthy middle-aged people, described as fit and sporty, drop dead before 2020? Since December 2020, many sudden and unexpected deaths of mayors under 60 years old have occurred in Germany and Austria. Questions are swirling about whether these elected officials were overwhelmed by job stress, or could there be another reason for so many “fit and healthy” politicians dying? On December 12, 2020, 41-year-old CSU Mayor Dirk Rosenbauer collapsed during a municipal council meeting and later died in a hospital in Coburg. The headline read, “At only 41 years old – mayor from Bavaria...

A recent poll found that a sizeable majority of Americans say the moral lessons of Easter are still “very important” to preserving a strong America for future generations. Unfortunately, some of the loudest voices in American politics disagree. The Democrat Party has drifted so far from the values Americans hold dear that they aren’t just apathetic; they’re actively working to undermine them. Consider how Democrats treated people of faith during the COVID-19 pandemic. For months, they forced houses of worship to keep their doors closed, threatening them with fines and even jailtime if they dared to gather. When Democrat governors...

Despite the exposure of pornographic books in school libraries and Marxist critical race theory curricula in K-12 public schools, parental concern about the American school system remains under attack. In light of parents being repeatedly shut out of board meetings or having their concerns not only ignored, but called “distractions,” concerned taxpayers are hitting the ground educating others about school-system failures. Parents and grandparents are developing local websites that highlight questionable materials and policy within public schools. In North Carolina, several communities have come together to create these resources. In Wake County, a group created the Pavement Education Project which...

A discussion is sweeping the country about the role of parents in both the education of their children and what their children’s schools should teach. Frankly, it is high time this conversation took place. Over the decades, since the advent of the common school, parental involvement in their children’s education has gone from complete authority to having virtually no say. Parents have been eliminated and replaced by the state -- defined as all federal, state, county, or municipal government entities. Added to this takeover are unions, which also have taken a keen interest in what your children are taught. As...

A Ukrainian policeman and municipal workers carry a body bag as they exhume two bodies from graves dug in the yard of a house in the village of Vabliya, near Kyiv, on April 14. A Ukrainian policeman and municipal workers carry a body bag as they exhume two bodies from graves dug in the yard of a house in the village of Vabliya, near Kyiv, on April 14. Blasts were heard early on April 16 in the cities of Kyiv and Lviv after warnings from Russia that it would intensify attacks on the Ukrainian capital after accusing Ukraine of targeting...
