Kathy Barnette is in a statistical three-way tie with David McCormick and Dr. Oz who’ve largely ignored her campaign until new numbers show Kathy is now a contender. And just like that, everything but the kitchen sink is being thrown at the Barnette campaign beginning yesterday ahead of Tuesday’s primary day. Hear Barnette answer all the accusations and tough questions from Stigall here.

The top Democrat and Republican in the US Senate joined forces in a rare moment of unity on Thursday in an attempt to pass $40bn in aid for Ukraine, only to be stymied by a single Republican lawmaker: the Kentucky libertarian Rand Paul. Faced with the prospect of an extended delay for the package that passed the House of Representatives on Tuesday, the Senate majority leader, Chuck Schumer, and his Republican counterpart, Mitch McConnell, sought to move forward on the aid package only to be blocked by Paul, a fiscal hawk who objects to the amount of spending proposed. The...

My guess, would be privet invite only, we have enough trolls as it is. Jim I would love your thoughts on this. Thanks! Founded

Special counsel John Durham scored a victory Thursday when a federal judge ordered the research firm behind the infamous “Steele dossier” to turn over nearly two dozen emails tied to its work with Hillary Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann. Fusion GPS improperly withheld the 22 emails from Durham by claiming they were protected by attorney-client privilege and “work-product” privilege, Washington, DC, federal Judge Christopher Cooper ruled. The move came at the request of Clinton’s 2016 campaign, according to the 11-page decision. But the emails, which largely consist of internal communications between Fusion employees, aren’t protected from disclosure because they “appear...

Louisiana prosecutors have charged three state police troopers accused of beating a black motorist, hoisting him to his feet by his hair braids and bragging in text messages that the 'whoopin' would give him 'nightmares for a long time.' The misdemeanor simple battery charges in the 2020 arrest of Antonio Harris come amid mounting scrutiny of the state's premier law enforcement agency over allegations of excessive force - particularly against black people - and an institutional instinct to cover it up. Jacob Brown, Dakota DeMoss and George 'Kam' Harper, who are white, were seen on body-camera video piling onto Harris...

Earlier this week, Michele Bachmann was on the War Room and discussed the Biden Administration’s plan to hand over US authority for health care decisions to the World Health Organization. Michele Bachmann explained the situation on the Biden War Room a couple of days ago. “This is the biggest global power grab that we have seen in our lifetimes.” Former Rep. @MicheleBachmann tells #SteveBannon about the upcoming vote in Geneva over the Biden administration’s amendments that would cede US sovereignty to the WHO over national healthcare decisions. pic.twitter.com/1Q5ScsOvp5 — Real America’s Voice (RAV) (@RealAmVoice) May 9, 2022

he MSM, Democrats and the Biden Campaign complained in October 2020 that the Tony Bobulinski story was a lie. They wanted Americans to believe that Hunter and Joe Biden are men of character and Tony Bobulinski was lacking integrity. Unfortunately for this corrupt group, we provided evidence that proves Bobulinski correct. Yaacov Apelbaum at the Illustrated Primer reports: Several MSM outlets have been challenging the validity of Tony Bobulinski’s claims regarding Joe Biden’s and his brother Jim’s involvement with Hunter’s China business activity. The latest NY Post forensic evaluation confirmed that Bobulinski’s email was legit. But apparently, this is not...

Eight RV manufacturers, 37 models and 22,021 RVs from model years 2021 and 2022 have dangerous RV cracked and porous LP gas fittings that can lead to a fire, and they don’t know it. Worse yet, almost all of the RV factories say they will not send notices to tell dealers or the public about it until July 1st. The recalls were quietly announced by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, but virtually all factory warning letters to the RV dealers and owners of these RVs will not go out until July 2022, according to filings with federal safety regulators....

The East Coast of the U.S. is reporting its lowest seasonal diesel inventory on record. And some trucking companies appear spooked. The East Coast typically stores around 62 million barrels of diesel during the month of May, according to Department of Energy data. But as of last Friday, that region of the U.S. is reporting under 52 million barrels. The sharp increase of diesel prices has been a major stressor in America’s $800 billion trucking industry since the beginning of 2022. According to DOE figures, the price per gallon of diesel has reached record highs — a whopping $5.62 per...

Parasitic worms have been sucked into the gender bias row after a report claimed the naming of the creatures was sexist. A team of scientists, led by parasitologist Robert Poulin, scoured studies in eight journals published between 2000 and 2020. Around 2,900 species were discovered during that period - with 200 in 2007 alone. However, of the 596 species named after eminent scientists, only 111, or 19%, recognised women, according to the experts from New Zealand's University of Otago. And of 71 scientists honoured in the Latin names of two or more species, only eight were women.

A whistleblower has revealed that the FBI investigated concerned parents after Attorney General Merrick Garland directed the agency to combat “threats of violence” against school board administrators last year. In October of 2021, Merrick Garland issued a memorandum that expressed concern about a “disturbing spike in harassment, intimidation, and threats of violence against school administrators, board members, teachers, and staff who participate in the vital work of running our nation’s public schools.” “Threats against public servants are not only illegal, they run counter to our nation’s core values,” Garland wrote at the time. “Those who dedicate their time and energy...

Cleaner air in United States and Europe is brewing more Atlantic hurricanes, a new U.S. government study found. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration study links changes in regionalized air pollution across the globe to storm activity going both up and down. A 50% decrease in pollution particles and droplets in Europe and the U.S. is linked to a 33% increase in Atlantic storm formation in the past couple decades, while the opposite is happening in the Pacific with more pollution and fewer typhoons, according to the study published in Wednesday’s Science Advances. NOAA hurricane scientist Hiroyuki Murakami ran numerous...

“‘But you, when you pray, go into your inner room, close your door and pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you’” (Matthew 6:6). Jesus’ primary instruction about prayer here is not about the location, but about our attitude in realizing that God constitutes our audience. If you go to a quiet, private place and shut everything else out as you pray, you’ll turn your focus from yourself and others and over to God exclusively. Jesus regularly got away to pray alone so He could have effective...

COMMENTARY: Despite intensive efforts, the Holy See finds itself strangely isolated.When Pope Francis visited the Russian Embassy to the Holy See in late February, it was a clear sign that papal diplomacy in the face of Russian aggression against Ukraine would be exercised creatively. After all, ambassadors visit heads of state, not the other way around. President Joe Biden would never visit the Chinese embassy to discuss provocative operations in the South China Sea. A willingness to be bold and creative speaks well of Pope Francis’ eagerness to end the war, but at the same time runs the risk of...

“Kathy Barnette will never be able to win the General Election against the Radical Left Democrats. She has many things in her past which have not been properly explained or vetted, but if she is able to do so, she will have a wonderful future in the Republican Party — and I will be behind her all the way.”

God has given us many wonderful promises that he will break every bond of sin, empower us to defeat all dominion of sin, give us a new heart, cleanse and sanctify us, and ultimately conform us to the very image of Christ. His Word assures us, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation” (2 Corinthians 5:17-18, NKJV). God does all of these...

An Oregon mom in the midst of a bitter custody battle carried out a murder-suicide of her and her two children, police say. On Tuesday police found 31-year-old Ashley Palmer, her six-year-old daughter Kayleana Beatrice Palmer and eight-year-old son Xavier Rayvaughn Danger Palmer dead from apparent gunshot wounds in their Gresham apartment after following up on a welfare check. Police determined that Palmer carried out the gruesome killings before turning the gun on herself as she struggled to deal with the prospect of having to split custody of the children with her ex-wife. In 2018 Palmer separated from her 34-year-old...
