Biden recently defended his support of infanticide by claiming to be a “child of God.” Strange assertions are not unexpected from Biden. His forty year political career has been characterized by gaffes, and his recent, precipitous mental decline has reduced him to a babbling chatterbox. But he did manage some rhetorical clarity recently, however disassociated from logic. “I believe I have the rights that I have not because government gave it to me, which you believe, but because I’m just a child of God; I exist,” Biden said during a press conference last Wednesday. Biden has famously defended his support...

Watched on Rumble after signing up at Dinesh.Locals. Here are some facts and the Deep Thoughts: 1) Is the movie reliable? Video footage monitoring ballot boxes are 100% verifiable -- these are footage the government is required to have at the ballot boxes. You can obtain this footage yourself through FOIA. 2) Why is the Left so eager to come out with "fact check"s on the film even from the day it came out? Did the Left ever do fact checks on Bowling for Columbine or Gore's Inconvenient "Truth"? 3) They set a very high standard to capture cheating behavior....

Censorship always does the opposite of its advertised goal: instead of eliminating disinformation, it enhances it. You really must wonder why the anti-liberty left tends to walk into logical brick walls. At least as of late, they’ve gone full tilt on the practice, pursuing certain trends and then turning around and condemning them. They are like the ‘Sideshow Bob’ character from the Simpsons, walking into a rake at every turn In the most recent case, they went and decided that disinformation is the existential threat of our time. Makes you wonder why they would want to highlight an issue in...

In a stunning landslide victory, Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr won the Philippines’ presidential election, bringing him to the frontlines of US-China confrontations in the South China Sea amid early rumblings that he is Beijing’s puppet “Manchurian candidate.” Marcos Jr’s election advantage was that he is the son of his “idol,” the somewhat popular, late US-backed dictatorial president Ferdinand Marcos Sr and his flamboyant wife Imelda, who is now 92. ... Marcos Jr, convicted of tax evasion in 1997, faces multi-million dollar tax cases in the Philippines and the US over his father’s vast estate. China, meanwhile, denies it has any...

The Biden administration seems to have learned a lesson in Ukraine on how to support liberty and freedom movements. As a Libertarian-ish Republican, I share the concerns of many on the right that the United States needs to be careful not to be drawn into a war with Russia, yet I do agree that supporting the natural right of people exercising their rights to protect themselves is fundamental to the idea of freedom as recognized by the 2nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. I am a conservative who is happy that Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) made a trip to Ukraine...

The likelihood of cheating in November is looking ugly, and time is growing short for patriots to do anything about it. Dinesh D'Souza's film, 2000 Mules, was just released, and it is jaw-dropping. The level of questionable practices and outright cheating is staggering. To oversimplify: Using high-tech forensic geolocation, cell phone information was collected that proved that ballot drop-offs at multiple boxes miles apart by the same "mule" were in progress. A mule is a paid or unpaid person who (in this case) drops illegal ballots off at these drop boxes. SNIP It was not as though the mule hit...

Last week, sources leaked to The New York Times that, in Ukraine's targeting and killing of Russian generals and the sinking of Russia's Black Sea flagship, the Moskva, U.S. intelligence played an indispensable role. Apparently, our intel people identified and located for the Ukrainian forces what became the targets of their deadly attacks. Why U.S. intelligence would do this seems inexplicable. By claiming credit for Ukraine's most visible military successes, we diminish the achievements of that country's own forces. By bragging publicly that we helped engineer the killing of Russian generals and the sinking of the cruiser Moskva, we taunt...

The United States is treading deeper into the war in Ukraine, with President Biden signing the modern-day version of a bill that helped pull the country into World War II and Democrats in the House rushing to consider a substantial increase to the amount of money the nation is pouring into the conflict with Russia. The Ukraine Democracy Defense Lend-Lease Act, which Mr. Biden signed on Monday, paves the way for more weapons to be delivered quickly to Ukrainians for their fight against Russia. While Mr. Biden has sent troops to neighboring countries, he has stopped short of sending them...

Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi claim to be practicing Catholics, yet they and their fellow leftists have worked unrelentingly to drive God out of America's schools, government and public square. When Pelosi stands at the speaker's rostrum, a sign above her reads, "In God We Trust." With Biden as president, Pelosi as speaker and Democrats in control of Congress, that sign should read, "In Government We Trust." The actions of the left would be easier to take if their consequences were limited to the left, but this is not the case. All Americans suffer as a result of their perfidy....

A former Alabama jail official on the run with a murder suspect she was accused of helping escape shot and killed herself Monday as authorities caught up with the pair after more than a week of searching, officials said. The man she fled with surrendered. The death of Vicky White, 56, only deepened the mystery of why a respected jail official would leave everything to help free Casey White, 38, a hulking inmate with a violent and frightening history. The two fugitives were caught — following a manhunt through three states — in Evansville, Indiana, when U.S. Marshals chasing them...

When tolerance becomes a one way street, it leads to cultural suicide -- Col. Allen West I have shared the aforementioned quote often, mainly when addressing the scourge of Islamic jihadism and terrorism in the West. However, there is a clear and present reason to apply this same quote to present day America and the scourge of progressive socialism. Just this past week Joe Biden made the telling assertion that "those MAGA people are the most extreme political organization in the history of the United States." I would like to refute this absurd claim because when one considers the Ku...

LOS ANGELES - The Los Angeles County Registrar's Office and the United States Postal Service are investigating after 104 ballots were found unopened on the sidewalk in East Hollywood. The ballots were found by Christina Repaci, who was walking her dog Saturday evening. "I turned the corner and I just saw this box of envelopes, and it was a USPS box. I picked some envelopes up and I saw they were ballots," said Repaci. Repaci said she took them home for safekeeping while trying to figure out what to do next. She sent videos of the ballots to popular social...

Washington never learns. Never. Politicians are like collective Alzheimer's disease patients. They have no short-term memories. Does anyone remember 2008? It was only 14 years ago. Then, America suffered through one of the most significant and most painful financial crises in our nation's history -- and the worst losses since the crash of 1929. Millions of people lost their jobs. Hundreds of thousands defaulted on their mortgages and lost their homes. Trillions of dollars of lifetime savings and wealth evaporated. Central billion-dollar banks and investment houses that were thought to be invincible were swept away like straw huts in the...

CARLISLE, Pennsylvania -- It was called the political storm of the century. It would end with the largest single turnover of power in American history -- and one for the ages. It was fall of 1894. People were still feeling the effects of the Panic of 1893, which had shut down most of the economy and plunged the nation into a catastrophic recession, with every segment of the country in a world of pain. Farmers were disgusted with the cost of wheat; laborers were desperate for jobs and higher pay. The biggest punch of all, the Pullman Strike, had caused...

Go vote! Strike a blow for Liberty! Trump endorsed Charles Herbster in Nebraska and Alex Mooney in West Virginia.

Kathy Barnette has been outspent 358-to-1 on TV in Pennsylvania’s GOP primary for the Senate. She hasn’t run for statewide office before. She doesn’t have former President Donald Trump’s endorsement. But the ultra-MAGA commentator is surging in the polls anyway in the final weeks of one of the most expensive and closely watched races in the country. Barnette’s unlikely — and, to some, unbelievable — rise has turned heads in political circles across the state because it defies political logic. Just two years ago, she lost a House bid in the Philadelphia suburbs by a wide margin. This time around,...

Before I had kids, I never wanted kids. It wasn’t something I would even entertain, it was just a fact. A lot of single men had the same attitude, at least the ones I hung out with – we wanted nothing to do with kids. Children were seen as the end of something, not the beginning. No more going out drinking with your friends, no more fun. I don’t know about you, but when I was young and dumb I really leaned into the dumb part. Now that I have 2 kids, ages 3 and 4, I can’t imagine life...

Winning the Kentucky Derby as an 80-1 underdog is fantastic. On Saturday, Rich Strike showed he knows how to do that. Now, winning with grace, that’s something he needs to learn. Moments after completing one of the most improbable wins in the history of horse racing or sports in general, Rich Strike immediately tried to bite another horse.
