These days it seems that Saul Alinsky has taken over the Democrat Party. This is no longer the party of JFK---not even close. JFK said in his Inaugural Address, “the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state but from the hand of God.” There is no God, says Saul Alinsky (1909-1972), the Marxist community organizer par excellence from Chicago. He perfected many of the “by any means necessary” tactics the left is using today---tactics on full display these days in the wake of challenges to Roe v. Wade. Alinsky deeply influenced some key leaders of the...

Finland's leaders on Thursday said the country would apply to join NATO "without delay." "Finland must apply for NATO membership without delay," President Sauli Niinistö and Prime Minister Sanna Marin said in a joint statement. "We hope that the national steps still needed to make this decision will be taken rapidly within the next few days." Leaders in both Sweden and Finland had been expected to announce their positions on joining NATO this week, as the war in Ukraine continues to have unintended consequences for Russia by potentially pushing two more of its neighbors to the transatlantic alliance. Finland’s decision...

In 1974, when the inflation rate was 11.04 percent, President Gerald Ford came up with a slogan: "Whip Inflation Now." WIN buttons were manufactured by the millions and people were asked to wear them to demonstrate grassroots solidarity to combat the economic scourge. The campaign was later described by Martin Crutsinger in an Associated Press story titled "Ford's WIN buttons remembered" as "one of the biggest government public relations blunders ever." Today the inflation rate is 8.5 percent, up from 7.9 percent in February and the largest year-over-year rise since 1982. The biggest difference, though, is in the price of...

The Kremlin on Thursday said Finland’s push to join NATO is a direct threat to Russia as well as the stability of the European continent and vowed to respond accordingly. "Finland’s entry into NATO will become a threat to Russia," Dmitry Peskov, press secretary to Russian President Vladimir Putin, told Russian media outlets."The next expansion of NATO does not make our continent more stable and secure." "Of course, all this will become elements for a special analysis and development of the necessary measures in order to balance the situation and ensure our security," he added. The comments came after Finnish...

As Russia’s invasion chokes off Ukrainian wheat exports, pushing up bread and noodle prices, the global harvest faces an added test: extreme weather. Droughts, flooding and heatwaves threaten output from the U.S. to France and India, compounding shrinking production in Ukraine. Just about every major producing region is facing one threat or another. The one notable exception is Russia, which is shaping up for a bumper crop and stands to benefit from the rising prices and limited supply elsewhere. Wheat is hardy and its vast geographical spread typically means shortages in one place can be filled from elsewhere. But the...

North Korea raised coronavirus prevention measures Thursday as leader Kim Jong Un acknowledged for the first time that COVID-19 was spreading in the totalitarian nation. An unspecified number of Pyongyang residents tested positive for the omicron variant, leading to a nationwide lockdown, according to the country’s state news agency. Until Thursday, North Korea had said it was virus-free since the start of the pandemic more than two years ago, a claim that was dismissed as propaganda by most outside experts. The North shares an 880-mile border with China, the virus’ country of origin.

Kathy Hochul and leaders of the Democratic-run legislature.

Novomykolaivka (Ukraine) (AFP) – The pudgy Ukrainian policeman taking pasta and bread to villagers trapped under bombs on the eastern front sometimes feels like he is entering enemy territory. Vladyslav Kopatskiy pulls the groceries from the back of his car and casts a quick glance at the horizon for signs of smoke from incoming Russian shells. He then enters homes where his humanitarian mission is often greeted with misgivings -- or worse. Many residents of this frontline village of Novomykolaivka and other areas of Ukraine's war-torn east are believed to back the Russians. And others who were brought up with...

Document reveals the FBI labeled Project Veritas as “news media,” and categorized the probe as a “Sensitive Investigative Matter” due to Veritas being journalists. This is a direct contradiction of the U.S. government’s in-court position that Project Veritas are not journalists. The whistleblower, who has several years of experience as an FBI Special Agent and is still on payroll with the Bureau, came to Project Veritas with the document after seeing what he calls “a number of troubling things that are happening in the FBI.” The document also shows the federal investigation was launched into Project Veritas the same day...

Biden’s Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is investigating Musk after he secured a deal to buy the social media company for $44 billion. According to a new report in the Wall Street Journal, the SEC is probing the paperwork filed by Musk while he was putting his deal into place. “The Securities and Exchange Commission is probing Mr. Musk’s tardy submission of a public form that investors must file when they buy more than 5% of a company’s shares,” The...

The San Francisco Police Commission is set to take up the issues around "pretext stops," or minor vehicular infractions that some believe are used to harass people of color. Some say traffic stops are being used to target Black and Brown people, while many police officers say they're just enforcing the law.

On Monday, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) announced that he will be signing legislation to create a new state holiday honoring all victims of Communism. As reported by Fox News, November 7th will be the date for observance of this new holiday, formally titled “Victims of Communism Day.” In addition to the new holiday, DeSantis also announced $25 million in funding for renovations to the Freedom Tower in Miami, which once served as a Cuban Assistance Center for those who fled the Communist state of Cuba. “Honoring the people that have fallen victim to communist regimes and teaching our students...

They say history repeats itself. You are likely familiar with the saying but uncertain of its true meaning. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito shocked us all last week when a draft majority opinion said, "We hold that Roe and Casey must be overruled." This stunned both the left and the right, who had not been expecting a leak of this magnitude from an institution such as the Supreme Court. While Chief Justice John Roberts did in fact confirm the draft's authenticity, it remains to be seen whether this draft opinion will represent the majority's opinion in the end. If at...

"And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet." "Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame." "And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath." Revelation, Ch. 16 1...
