It’s always fun when progressive jerks try to leverage their bizarre perceptions of our beliefs to get us to do what they want. It can be some smug Twitter blue check informing us that “Actually Jesus was a socialist who would want us to cancel student debt for spoiled rich kids who got degrees in Transgender Visual Arts” or, more recently, some newly-minted Milton Friedman acolyte goofsplaining that we must submit to the skeevy whims of California corporations and accept the imposition of grooming mandates because, after all, they are private businesses. And sometimes it works, even on alleged conservatives...

The federal travel mask mandate, the last gasp of an overreaching, tyrannical, nonsensical response to the Covid-19 pandemic from our feckless federal government, thankfully bit the dust earlier this month on the lawful orders of a district court judge appointed by none other than former President Donald Trump on his way out of office in 2020. Notwithstanding the beautiful irony of Trump poking his nose in President Biden’s eye from the political grave, the decision from U.S. District Court Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle, that found the CDC’s mandate “arbitrary” and “capricious” and outside the scope of the agency’s authority, was...

IT IS time for the taxpayer to stop funding homes where kids are preyed upon, tortured and killed by their mothers and their live-in, random, evil ‘partners’. It’s time to stop the funding the predators. Last Thursday at Cardiff Crown Court Angharad Williamson, 30, was convicted alongside John Cole, 40, of murdering Angharad’s five-year-old son Logan Mwangi. A teenage boy, who cannot be named because of his age, was also found guilty of murder. As per usual the police and social services were involved in the case but this was not enough to save the little boy from being tortured...

Russia's invasion of Ukraine was largely predictable but it also brought some surprises. It was quite expected that the current U.S. administration would try to draw Russia into the "Ukrainian swamp" in order to weaken and isolate it as much as possible. It was expected that the inexperienced and naive Ukrainian leader would trust the promises of the Biden team and let them to drag his country into a devastating gamble. It was expected that Russia, seeking to restore its former empire, would use Western provocations to establish its presence in a weak and corrupt Ukraine. It was completely unexpected...

Will be the centerpiece of Amazon's $2.5 billion Virginia campus when it opens in 2025. Includes ramp running around the outside of the building to its summit which is lined with greenery. From some vantage points the helix will dominate the region´s skyline like no building other than the Washington Monument. The helix features a spiral-hike around its exterior, complete with trees, and will let visitors follow a winding outdoor ramp around the edge of the building to its summit.

During the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, Muslims fast, pray, engage in acts of piety and charity, and reminisce over warfare and bloodshed in the name of Islam. Virtually every Ramadan features various Islamic authorities, personages, and/or institutes reminding Muslims to take pride in and celebrate various historic battles between Muslims and non-Muslims, or “infidels” (as in this hour-long televised special). Among other things, such victories are meant to demonstrate the power, and thus truth, of Islam. This alone should underscore Islam’s innate militancy in comparison to other religions. It further suggests that Islam is a worldly religion, one that...

111 Votes From John McNulty.. “I watched the Democratic leaders of Congress kneel in the halls of Congress for about 9 minutes, for the death of a black man named George Floyd.

SAN JOSE, Calif. — Here we go again?COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations are rising once again across the country, driven by more contagious subvariants of the virus and leaving health experts unsure whether vaccination and immunity from prior infection will be protective enough to prevent yet another deadly wave of infections.

Who was the genius who colored Democrats blue and Republicans red on election maps? Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez got one thing right early in her political career when she declared that the Democrats would turn the whole country red. She was immediately corrected, but she was right in her color selection. Who was the genius who colored Democrats blue and Republicans red on election maps? I can understand the Democrats wanting to hide their true colors, but why did the Republicans accept it? Words have meanings. To an old Cold Warrior, the word “Red” means “Communist” and that’s what my mind locks...

Russia has stumbled again. Its southern offensive, the second phase of the Ukraine war, has failed to be the "biggest tank war since World War II," as some analysts were predicting. Instead, Russia's ground forces have shown the same lackluster performance on the ground, unable to break through anywhere. The towns and villages of the south, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Friday, "are the places where the fate of this war and the future of our state is being decided, now." Experts point to May 9th—Victory Day in Russia commemorating the surrender of Nazi Germany in 1945—as the next decisive...

We were told that Joe Biden in the White House meant a return to normal. CNN assured us an adult was now in charge and celebrated Donald Trump’s departure. That rhetoric has largely died away amidst the wreckage of the Biden administration, and yet the full scope of the disaster that is unfolding continues to be deliberately hidden from us. We are not simply suffering some setbacks. We are in free fall and headed for catastrophe. Nowhere is that more evident than in regard to food supplies. Biden’s war on fossil fuels, his out-of-control spending, and his reaction to the...

Appearing on Jonathan Capehart's MSNBC show on Sunday, Rob "Meathead" Reiner said that our country's democracy is "hanging by a thread," at that if Biden AG Merrick Garland doesn't indict Donald Trump, it's "the end of democracy."Capehart opened the conversation by citing Reiner's recent tweet, wherein he apocalyptically asserted: "Every day that goes by without Donald Trump being indicted for leading a deadly insurrection to overthrow the United States government takes us one day closer to ending our democracy."

"And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine." "And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains." "And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we...

Rep. Madison Cawthorn, North Carolina Republican, swung back after photos of him wearing women’s lingerie during a cruise-ship game made the rounds, saying it would take more than “goofy vacation photos” to scuttle his political career. The photos posted Friday by Politico prompted his critics on social media to accuse him of hypocrisy, citing his recent allegations of “sexual perversion” in Washington, D.C., and opposition to the gender-identity movement. Mr. Cawthorn said that the photos were taken before he was elected to Congress in 2020 and linked to a CruiseCritic article about Royal Caribbean’s Quest scavenger hunt, where items to...

Twitter Inc. is in discussions to sell itself to Elon Musk and could finalize a deal as soon as this week, people familiar with the matter said, a dramatic turn of events just 10 days after the billionaire unveiled his $43 billion bid for the social-media company. The two sides met Sunday to discuss Mr. Musk’s proposal and were making progress, though still had issues to hash out, the people said. There is no guarantee they will reach a deal.

Actor Rob Reiner said on this week’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “The Sunday Show” that if a person votes for any Republicans, they vote for “autocracy.” Reiner said, “First off, all let’s dispense with the idea of Republican a Democrat, or conservative and liberal. We are talking about democracy versus autocracy. We see it happening all over the world. That’s one of the reasons Putin invaded Ukraine. He is wanting to destroy democracy.” He continued, “We have an election right now in France between Macron and Marine Le Pen, and we don’t know the results yet there, but that is also...
