This aspiring dictatorship is getting desperate and dangerous. Imagine having complete control over America's corporate news propaganda arm and still feeling vulnerable when it comes to "securing the narrative." Imagine having all the Big Tech censors working for the U.S. Intelligence Community, and the masters of disinformation are still unsure whether they can amply manipulate American opinion. Imagine dedicating a year and a half to persecuting anyone who questions the legitimacy of the 2020 election and learning that more Americans than ever now view that monstrosity as tainted by fraud. Imagine shamelessly spinning the Capitol breach into an attempted coup...

As our nation careens inexorably out of control under the “leadership” of resident Joe Biden, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, only the most ill-informed voters who have stuck their heads in the ground like ostriches can fail to see that with each passing day…Democrats are pouring more gasoline on the fire of the looming financial bankruptcy of America. The addle-brained Biden—whose embarrassing rhetorical disasters are continually covered up by his handmaidens in the media—has become so obviously a joke that he couldn’t even get through the White House Easter Egg roll last month without a...

If you are a student of history, you will recognize the title of this missive. If you are not, let me explain. After the successful landings in Normandy the Allies began pushing through the hedgerows and set their sights on crossings into Germany. One of the plans, offered by British General Montgomery, was to spearhead a combined airborne and ground assault through the Netherlands and cross the Rhine River into northern Germany. The operation was to be called Market (Airborne) Garden (Ground). It was to be the largest airborne operation ever known and it pulled together US and British Airborne...

WASHINGTON, D.C.—The Department of Homeland Security has formed the Disinformation Governance Board to bravely combat incorrect opinions on the internet. According to sources, the board's Executive Director Nina Jankowicz has appointed Hunter Biden to sit on the board for a salary of $50,000 per month. "We are proud to welcome Hunter to our Ministry of Tr-- um, our Disinformation Governance Board," said Jankowicz. "As the victim of a Russian disinformation campaign that claimed his laptop held evidence of horrific sexual crimes and international corruption resulting in tens of millions of dollars being funneled to the Biden family, he is uniquely...

A warped version of “equity” has become political heroin for Biden Democrats. They inject the black tar into their veins, then become euphoric over the sudden rush of power they get, until the junk wears off. Predictably, they crash. And no matter how big the crash is or how devastating the damage it causes, they don’t stop. They’re hooked now. To get the same sense of euphoria, they’ll lie, cheat, and steal to keep the smack flowing through their veins. But with every crash, they need more of the stuff to get the same high: racial equity, transportation equity, policing...

Israel's foreign minister has denounced as "unforgivable" remarks by his Russian counterpart that Nazi leader Adolf Hitler "had Jewish blood". Russian FM Sergei Lavrov made the comments to try to justify Russia's portrayal of Ukraine as "Nazi" despite the fact that its president is Jewish. Israel's foreign ministry summoned Russia's ambassador for "clarification" and demanded an apology. Nazi Germany murdered six million Jews in the Holocaust in World War Two. Mr Lavrov made the remarks in an interview with the Italian news channel Zona Bianca on Sunday, days after Israel marked Holocaust Remembrance Day, one of the most solemn occasions...

I’m a free speech absolutist. I’ve heard the same about super-billionaire Elon Musk, the guy many of us hope succeeds in his bid to restore some semblance of free speech and open debate to Twitter. I don’t know what the term ultimately means for Musk inside his heart of hearts (although I can take an optimistic guess based on his statements so far), but I can unequivocally say what it means for me - ANY and ALL legal speech protected by the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution should be allowed and uncensored on major public platforms. Obviously, this excludes...

VLADIMIR Putin is set to undergo an operation for cancer and will hand over power to his hardline spy chief, a Kremlin insider has reportedly claimed. The Russian tyrant’s health has been source of considerable speculation amid reports that he is battling both abdominal cancer and Parkinson’s Disease. But now it has been reported that 69-year-old Putin could soon vanish as he goes under the knife, with power transferred to Nikolai Patrushev. Shadowy Patrushev, 70, is seen as a key architect of the Ukraine war strategy and the man who convinced Putin that Kyiv was awash with neo-Nazis. The claim...

“‘. . . so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous’” (Matthew 5:45). God Himself is love, and the best evidence that we are His children through faith in Jesus Christ is our love for other believers. “By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another” (John 13:35; cf. 1 John 4:20). Our divine sonship is further evidenced when love leads us to pray...

Ukraine's victory in the war against Russia will come when our country returns its territories and Ukrainians will be able to return home and reunite with their families. Ukraine doesn't need anything superfluous or alien. This statement was made by President Volodymyr Zelensky in an interview with the project "60 Minutes" of the Australian TV Channel Nine Network, which was published on Monday, May 2. He is sure that even those Ukrainians who had to leave for other countries because of the war want to return to their native land. Answering a journalist's question about what a victory looks like...

As Joe Biden’s Hindenburg of a presidency continues its fiery descent into historically low popularity, the whiz kids at the White House think they have a solution. Their answer, amazingly, seems to be to double down on their cavalcade of failed policies and get Mumbly Joe out in front of the American people more. That’s right, the man who rode to the presidency hiding in his basement is supposed to electrify voters and save the Democrats in the midterm. **SNIP** Take education. At a time when Republicans are having electoral success taking aim at critical race theory and gender ideology...

Nancy Pelosi traveled to Kyiv for a photo-op with the world's new "freedom fighter," Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. She announced to the world that “America stands firmly with Ukraine” and “Our commitment is to be there for you until the fight is done,” and later tweeted to the Ukrainian people that “we are with you until victory is won.” So now its the Speaker of the House’s turn to get her “Churchill” moment. This would be laughable if the consequences were not so serious. It is another step on the road to a wider war. Washington, it seems, is a...

The Spanish novel, written by Miguel de Cervantes, El ingenioso hidalgo don Quixote de la Mancha, is often credited as the first modern novel in Western literature. Literally translated to English, the title reads “The Ingenious Low-Born Nobleman Don Quixote of La Mancha.” The inclusion of “ingenious” describing the title character is a curious choice, given that Don Quixote is, in fact, a crazy old man named Alonso Quixano that imagines himself a gallant knight. He mounts his trusty steed (a skinny nag) and dons his shining armor (with a shaving basin for a helmet) in order to fight giants...

Nina Jankowicz, the newly-appointed head of the Biden administration’s Disinformation Governance Board, told Congress in October 2020 that she saw no role for the federal government in policing disinformation online. “I do not think government should be in that business,” she said during testimony before the House Intelligence Committee.

Joe Biden delivered remarks in honor of 'long time friend', 'good man' and former Vice President Walter Frederick 'Fritz' Mondale on Sunday in Minneapolis, Minnesota. 'I served with Fritz a long time. He became a good and close friend,' the president said during his remarks at the Northrop Memorial Auditorium on the University of Minnesota's campus at the memorial service for Mondale, who served as President Jimmy Carter's No. 2 for his single term from 1977-1981. 'I was a kid when I got elected – I wasn't even old enough to be sworn in – I was 29-years-old,' Biden said...

The “Ghost of Kyiv” is a myth, Ukrainian officials admitted over the weekend. After several news outlets last week identified the legendary, mysterious, hero fighter pilot as a 29-year-old dad recently killed in battle with the Russians, military officials acknowledged Saturday that there was no such person. “The ghost of Kyiv is a superhero-legend, whose character was created by Ukrainians!” Ukraine’s Air Force Command wrote on Facebook. The reputed hero had been credited with taking out as many as 40 Russian aircraft until he was shot down March 13 while battling an “overwhelming” number of enemy forces, the Times of...

"And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth." "But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil." "And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ." Revelation, Chapter 11 1 And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein. 2 But the court which is without the temple leave...

“For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding. He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly. He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints” (Proverbs 2:6-8 KJV).

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Sunday said that the fact that Ukraine’s president is Jewish does not contradict Moscow’s claims that it launched the invasion to “denazify” the country, claiming that even Hitler “had Jewish blood.” In an interview with Italian news channel Zona Bianca, Lavrov was asked how Russian President Vladimir Putin could claim he was trying to “denazify” Ukraine when Volodymyr Zelensky, the country’s democratically elected president, was Jewish. “So what if Zelensky is Jewish. The fact does not negate the Nazi elements in Ukraine. I believe that Hitler also had Jewish blood,” Lavrov said, adding that...
