Reps. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) and Jake Auchincloss (D-Mass.) penned an op-ed in The Washington Post on Friday urging the U.S. to continue providing military aid to Ukraine, arguing that the former Soviet Union country is fighting for both its freedom as well as the United States’. The Republican and Democrat said that the Ukrainian military needs to be guaranteed intelligence support, weapons and training amid Russia’s ongoing invasion.

Defense attorneys are seeking to identify and investigate 80 suspicious actors and material witnesses, some of whom allegedly ran an entrapment operation against the Oath Keepers on January 6, 2021, and committed crimes including the removal of security fencing, breaching police lines, attacking officers, and inciting crowds to storm into the Capitol. In a motion (pdf) and supplement (pdf) filed after 11 p.m. on May 5 in federal court in Washington, attorney Brad Geyer listed 80 people, some of whom he said could be government agents or provocateurs. The people are seen on video operating in a coordinated fashion across...

War plunges its participants into a welter of death and destruction, hardship and cruelty, tragedy and irony. The Ukraine war’s agonies have been widely documented but its overlooked ironies are particularly striking. The post-1945 US has proven largely unsuccessful as a warrior nation. Russia and its predecessor state, the USSR, have been far more successful – with one standout exception. One observer thinks Russian President Vladimir Putin has launched his country on potentially its most disastrous military venture since that exception – the USSR’s war in Afghanistan. The Kremlin’s ongoing “special military operation” grants Washington not only a platform of...

On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher said that he’s never “thought life itself was particularly precious.” And “life is for the living. Until you’re born, you’re not living. I mean, yes, it’s becoming a life, but it’s not. And we wouldn’t miss you if you’re not born.”

“People who refuse to call Putin an ‘occupier’ or ‘tyrant’ will receive the same treatment as people who spoke out against the corona vaccines” – Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò In 2014, Jacques Attali, the mastermind behind the Great Reset, “predicted” on French television that World War III would start with Ukraine. The same year, former French President Nicolas Sarkozy, who Attali helped mold, warned, “we will proceed together toward a new world order, and nobody, and I do mean nobody, will be able to oppose it.” Now, in 2022, we are seeing the World Economic Forum leader Klaus Schwab counterpart...

Stumping for Pennsylvania Senate GOP primary candidate Dr. Mehmet Oz, former President Donald Trump hailed Tuesday's primary results and called the America First GOP the "party of common sense" and the "party of the American dream."pP "We have a country that's in big trouble," Trump said at a rainy Save America rally in Greensburg, Pennsylvania, which aired live on Newsmax.

The Bible In Paintings 2 ENCOURAGEMENT FOR APPRECIATING AND APPLYING GOD'S MESSAGE 1st SAMUEL CHAPTERS 4&5 Now the Israelites went out to fight against the Philistines. Israel was defeated by the Philistines, who killed about four thousand of them on the battlefield. When the soldiers returned to camp, the elders of Israel asked, “Why did the LORD bring defeat upon us today before the Philistines? Let us bring the ark of the LORD’s covenant from Shiloh, so that it may go with us and save us from the hand of our enemies.” So the people sent men to Shiloh,...

Forget inflation, forget Ukraine, forget the crashing stock market. Thanks to a troublemaking leak by some jerk inside the U.S. Supreme Court, abortion is dominating the front pages of our media again. The leak of the first draft of a majority decision by the Supremes to overturn Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 case that legalized abortion in the U.S., has reignited the abortion issue overnight. Pro-life, pro-abortion, pro-choice, anti-abortion…. Abortion is a hot and ugly moral and political issue that is always smoldering under the national landscape like a coal mine fire that can never be put out. But...

On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher criticized pushes to deal with social media disinformation for always focusing “on the producers, never the consumers, as if we’re all helpless, dumb blondes ready to believe anything” and said that “sorting out the lies from the truth is your job.” Maher stated, “Since this is Mother’s Day weekend, let’s pause and take a moment to think about how your mother was always there for you, looking after you, and keeping you safe, and then realize, that’s not Twitter’s job. Keeping you safe and sorting out the lies from the...

Republican Adam Laxalt leads Sen. Cathy Cortez Masto (D-NV) in the Silver State, a new poll obtained exclusively by Breitbart News ahead of its public release shows. Laxalt, the former attorney general of Nevada, is at 47 percent in the new survey, and Cortez Masto is down at 46 percent. That 1 percent lead is inside the survey’s 4 percent margin of error. “Adam Laxalt is in a position to defeat vulnerable Democratic incumbent Catherine Cortez Masto for U.S. Senate,” pollster Jim McLaughlin wrote in the memo. “Adam Laxalt is already edging her on the ballot and the political...

Two GOP-led states filed a lawsuit against President Biden, White House press secretary Jen Psaki, Dr. Anthony Fauci and other top administration officials alleging that they "pressured and colluded" with Big Tech social media companies to censor and suppress information on the Hunter Biden laptop story, COVID-19 origins and security of voting by mail during the pandemic.Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt and Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry filed the lawsuit Thursday in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Louisiana. The suit accuses top ranking government officials of working with the giant social media companies Meta, Twitter and YouTube...

It is said that the highest and most noble work in this life is that of a mother. This is especially true of mothers of children with special needs. As we celebrate Mother’s Day, my admiration goes out to those moms. When I was expecting our second child, I received an urgent phone call from my obstetrician’s office after routine prenatal screening tests. The nurse was extremely anxious for me to come in right away for an amniocentesis. The doctor, painting a picture of doom and gloom, wanted to confirm a suspected Down Syndrome diagnosis for our unborn daughter. It's...

Will Elon Musk change Twitter’s political policy on banning advertisements for anything they perceive as a weapon? The list is broad and purely political. Elon Musk has been making headlines with his acquisition of Twitter. Twitter has become famous for taking sides during the 2020 election by banning the New York Post, after it released the bombshell article about the Hunter Biden laptop and Biden family corruption. After the election, they banned sitting President Donald Trump. Some surveys have claimed the ban on the news of Biden family corruption allowed President Biden to take the presidency. Some polls show the...

My previous post on Tuesday contained some highlights from the May 3 public hearing of New York’s Climate Action Council. The CAC is the body that is charged with devising a “Scoping Plan” to inform all us New Yorkers how we will achieve “zero carbon” electricity by 2030 and a “zero carbon” economy by 2050. I attended the hearing for about two and a half hours, during which about 60 people spoke. Reflecting on the hearing a few days later, I think there are a few more highlights that would interest the readers, and will give some more insights into...

I could change my mind about any political aspect, I could go completely crazy and believe that communism is a brilliant idea, or even, God forbid, I could lose my faith and deny everything my Church says. But none of that would move me to give up in good conscience my fight against the silent genocide of abortion in the West.

... The House’s overwhelming passage of the Cornyn bill will in effect cement Washington’s status as co-belligerent in a war against a nuclear-armed and increasingly unpredictable Russia. A look at the roll-call vote in the House shows that only 10 members voted against Cornyn’s bill, all Republicans. Not a single Democratic progressive voted against the legislation. All the leaders of the progressive left in Congress, including Ro Khanna (D-CA), Jamie Raskin (D-MD) and Pramila Jaypal (D-MI), voted for Lend Lease – as did the “Squad,” including Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Jamaal Bowman (D-NY), Rashida Tlaib...

If you want to finish the little COVID tyrant, ridicule him. Recently, I posted a comment on Steve Kirsch's great website that got me thinking about what we have lived through with the COVID Conformity Experiment. In jest, I said, "Any thoughts on creating Darwin Awards for COVID? I propose a title like the Fauci Falsies." I nominate the Michigan pathologist who is getting investigated by the medical licensing board for conducting autopsies without a mask. Reportedly, all his patients died, once again proving that the unmasked are heartless killers. Here are some further thoughts on the idea of a...
